Chapter 231 The Director's Little Plan
McQueen's room was just opposite. The door was not closed, but just ajar. Xu Weiwei pushed the door open and walked in.
At the entrance, Xu Weiwei called out "Uncle".
"Hey! Wei'er is here, come over and say hello to your aunt." McQueen waved at her from the window.
Xu Weiwei ran over and found that her uncle was video chatting with her aunt. Jiang Linlin on the screen was very different from before, with gorgeous scales on her face, her hair dyed platinum, and her eyelashes and eyeliner were all white.
"Aunt is so beautiful!"
Xu Weiwei's direct praise made Jiang Linlin laugh happily, "You have such a sweet mouth. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. I will go to play with you when I get off work in the evening and bring you some delicious food."
"Hmm! Is Auntie playing a mermaid?"
"Yes, how is it? Does it look like it? My aunt's movie is about mermaids." Jiang Linlin moved her face closer to show her.
"It seems so. If I didn't know that my aunt is a human, I would have thought she was a real mermaid." Xu Weiwei said seriously.
"Hahaha! Okay, my break time is almost up, let your uncle take you out for fun today, and ask him to buy you whatever you want to eat or want. Bye baby~"
"Bye, auntie, take care of yourself~"
After getting a sweet kiss, Jiang Linlin hung up the phone contentedly.
The director next to him immediately leaned over and asked, "Is this your relative's child? He's very smart, asking you to call your aunt... Is he from the Sivers family?"
"Yeah." Jiang Linlin felt very proud.
The director suddenly realized, "This must be their well-hidden treasure, right? It's already this big."
"No wonder. It was all over the news a while ago. That... Sanqi, right? No wonder... The little guy looks so smart."
Jiang Linlin said modestly: "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Wei'er is just an ordinary child."
"It's different, it's different," the director shook his head and waved his hands, using double negation to emphasize.
"Eyes can't deceive people. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Whether a person is dull or simple, treacherous or kind is all in his eyes. I saw this child. Not only is his brain sharp, but his heart is also clear. We call this precocious wisdom."
"It's ok if such a person has a good heart, but once he has evil thoughts, he will definitely be a disaster."
Jiang Linlin looked at the monitor without saying anything.
The assistant director laughed and said, "What are you talking about? What harm can a little girl do? How can she harm the hearts of the young men?"
"Go, I'm just making an assumption. I'm not saying what this girl will be like in the future. Linlin, please don't misunderstand me."
Jiang Linlin smiled generously, "No, I know a thing or two about your character."
"Hey..." The director leaned back and rubbed the few sparse hairs on his head. "If such a smart child entered the entertainment industry, I would definitely make her famous. What a pity."
"You are in this line of work, and you think it's a pity, but she is a real lady from a wealthy family, with endless money and happiness. Why should she enter the entertainment industry and suffer this?" said the assistant director, leaning on the table.
"Then Linlin is still in the entertainment industry, right? What's wrong with the entertainment industry?"
The assistant director was so angry that he cursed, thinking, "Don't you know what the entertainment industry is like? You still have the nerve to ask, but because of your status, you can only hold it in."
"Linlin loves this business and has been doing it for a long time. If you dare to attract the attention of the Sifos family, they will come after you for revenge."
"Alright, alright, alright. I don't want to chat with you." The director said impatiently.
"Linlin, you should have finished your work in the morning after this show, but you know the situation of that little actress. If you are not in a hurry to go back, spend more time with her and develop a tacit understanding with her."
The director looked very worried. "We are almost at the end of our schedule. We can't keep getting stuck on the scenes between you two. If we end up wasting days here just for a dawn shot, we can't afford it."
"I know your husband is very rich, but if one project is behind schedule, all work will be postponed, which will eventually affect the release of the film. So please work more overtime." The director requested in a kind voice.
Jiang Linlin felt helpless.
In order to match the original work, she dyed her hair, and the crew spent a lot of effort to find a platinum-blonde mermaid child. But the child was too young, had lived in the deep sea before, had never come down to the main city, and was unfamiliar with everything.
Especially the equipment of the crew: lights, cameras, sound microphones... The children were always stressed and trembling with fear at the beginning, but later they were no longer afraid and their eyes would follow the equipment, which was very distracting.
It was not only a matter of familiarity between her and the other party, but also more difficult to overcome the problem of the child himself. The language barrier, the different growth environment, and the young age all made it impossible for the other party to ignore the presence of the camera and perform freely.
"If all else fails, find me another 'child', Director. Don't make things difficult for her."
The director spread his hands and said, "Where can I find one? There are not many mermaids of this color, and even fewer of the right age. It took a lot of manpower and resources to find this one."
"Can't we find an experienced child actor?"
"I just want to do my best to restore the original. Child stars have acting skills, but what about their appearance? It's not easy to fool the audience. Where can I find a child who is young enough and has a high enough facial fold? And he has to have long hair."
As he was speaking, the director fell silent, his expression clearly showing that he was lost in thought. Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Linlin thievingly.
Jiang Linlin also fell silent. Obviously, she had thought of something.
When they raised their eyes again, their gazes met, but they both held back and said nothing.
Finally, the director lost his patience and spoke tentatively: "Hey, Linlin, I think your niece is quite suitable. Why don't you ask her? Just do me a favor. It's not tiring. It's just two scenes, and you know them all."
"If it works, the entire crew will thank you. If it doesn't, forget it. At least we tried our best, right? Now there's only one more week left, and the whole show will be finished. We can't let the hard work of so many people go to waste, right?"
Jiang Linlin also understood that time was indeed tight, and now that the director had brought it up, she could clear herself out and shamelessly mention it in front of her aunt and uncle.
"Okay, I'll ask for you."
The director was pleasantly surprised: "Great! You can leave work early today and give me a reply tomorrow morning. If the other party agrees, you can bring him here for an audition directly."
The director thought more and more about it and felt more hopeful. "If we can get there early tomorrow, maybe we can get through those two parts right away! That would be perfect!"
Jiang Linlin said helplessly: "Don't be so optimistic, it's not certain whether it will work. My aunt's family loves their children very much, I have to give you a shot of prevention first."
"Hey, people should look at the bright side! Hahahaha!"
The director had a very nice idea in his mind. If Xu Weiwei came, he could use the identity of the Sifos family to hype up the show. By then, the show would become a hit before it even airs, and the box office would soar.
