After leaving the music ceremony, the four people were breathing heavily. But, from their excited expressions, it was obvious that tonight would be the start of S.A.J.'s rise to stardom began.
At the same time, Long Jie was well aware of how saturated the singing industry was. Due to all sorts of talent shows and singers of all levels, it was too much for the eyes to take in. If you didn't have anything special, it would be extremely difficult to rely on singing to reach the next level.
So, Long Jie hired a choreographer from South Korea to make up for the lack of dancers in the country.
As a result, after the music ceremony, Long Jie opened up all sorts of resources and finally let out a sigh of relief. After that, the training for the few of them became even stricter.
When Tangning was still around, Superstar Media was a professional agency that rescued outdated artists. But, now that Tangning was gone, Long Jie decided to turn Superstar Media into a cradle for newcomers and a training ground for various groups. Young and fashionable would become synonymous with Superstar Media …
Seeing the results of Long Jie's training, Han Xiuche's manager couldn't help but sigh. The people at Superstar Media weren't just for show. Although Long Jie didn't have as many methods as Tangning, she still had her strengths.
She knew that Han Xiuche was the one who introduced these people to Superstar Media, so she was naturally happy to see them rise.
"Actually, apart from drawing comics, you could also be a talent scout!"
Han Xiuche sneered as he stood in front of his drawing board.
"I didn't introduce these people to Superstar Media because I wanted them to become famous … Did you think I'd be so kind?"
"Can't you treat it as a good thing?" the manager turned and glared at Han Xiuche.
"No way!"
To put it bluntly, Han Xiuche's manager knew what was bothering him. On the surface, he said that he hated Tangning, but in reality, he just wanted to expose Tangning and see her reaction. He thought she was interesting, but he was stubborn and hadn't learned how to communicate properly.
"Even if Tangning provoked you, she's just unlucky. But, what about Long Jie? If Long Jie trusts you so much, why do you want to hurt her? "
"Do you know why psychopathic murderers kill people?" Han Xiuche asked as he put down his pen and looked at Long Jie with interest.
"Why?"
"Because I like her … Long Jie isn't important to me. Why should I care about her feelings?"
In this world, some people simply did not need logic or reason to do certain things.
Some people, deep in their hearts, did not differentiate between good and evil. They would only do what they felt comfortable doing.
The manager was completely speechless. She turned around angrily and said, "I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want!"
At this moment, Han Xiuche was quite pleased with himself because no one could do anything to him. He could do whatever he wanted.
What was the entertainment industry? Wasn't it for eating, drinking, and having fun? This was how Han Xiuche understood the industry.
He wanted to see Tangning's reaction?
Wasn't Tangning a two-faced woman? What was there for him to be obsessed with? Everything he did, was to make Tangning look like she was in pain.
…
Meanwhile, in the US, Jones's' The Resurrected Specimen 'would soon enter its final phase. It would only take a short 2 to 3 months because the rest of the film was still in post-production. This was all thanks to the strength of Hollywood's special effects team. This wasn't something that Tangning could learn even if she wanted to.
In post-production, Jones seemed to be afraid that Tangning wouldn't understand, so he explained things in detail. This was exactly what Tangning had expected. Her previous lessons in the UK were a waste of time. No matter how many films she watched or how much theory she memorized, it wouldn't be as effective as Jones's experience.
"We haven't known each other for a long time, but the things I can teach you are very practical."
"Tangning, filming is an art. The hardest part is to develop your own style. This may take you a lifetime to study …"
"From now on, you can only rely on yourself …"
"I know you're also producing a film. I've seen your design drafts with the previous director … I can't wait to see your results."
Jones did not comment on Tangning's film because he knew about Qiao Sen's situation.
Tangning had learned so much, yet she did not change the main storyline. This meant, she wanted to preserve as much of the efforts of her old friends as possible. This was also the reason why Jones was willing to teach Tangning; she was a loyal person.
"I'm also aware that your husband personally participated in this film."
"And I have every reason to believe that a film that's the culmination of so many people's efforts won't be too bad. You need to believe in yourself."
Tangning sighed. After all, as the father of sci-fi, Jones had already done everything he could and taught her everything he could.
Although it hadn't been long, this was fate.
Of course, Tangning couldn't take it for granted that this was a school and Jones was like a teacher, teaching her systematically.
On the day of the film's completion, Jones was drunk because he was going to announce his retirement after this film was finished.
But, Tangning couldn't bear to part with this great old man, "I hope I can visit you again in the future."
"You are my only disciple, so you do have this special privilege. I welcome you at any time …" Jones smiled. "Tangning, as my disciple, don't disappoint me."
"I won't," Tangning nodded.
"I believe in you …"
That night, Tangning and Jones chatted for a long time. The teacher and disciple were like father and daughter. Jones gave Tangning a lot of advice.
"Before we part, I will give you a present. I hope you will like it."
These were the last words Jones said to Tangning as she drove him home. At the time, Tangning had no idea what Jones meant. It wasn't until a few days later, when many American film and television companies contacted her that she found out that Jones had recommended her to a number of big names in the industry.
To keep Jones' disciple, the biggest film and television company in the US even offered Tangning a very attractive offer.
But, Tangning rejected them. She knew where her true stage was …
Plus, she knew that she didn't have the right to do so. They were simply doing this out of respect for her mentor.
…
"Is it time to consider returning to China?" Late at night in the US, Mo Ting asked as he held onto Tangning's hand. "You should eventually return to the place that belongs to you."
Tangning smiled and shook her head, "There's no rush. We will continue to study our techniques in the US until I'm satisfied with the post production of 'The Ant Queen' … I promised that I would return with a finished product, but I'm only halfway done."
"Fine, my great Director Tang, you are quite a hot topic in the US right now …"
"Are you laughing at me?" Tangning leaned into Mo Ting's embrace.
"I'm complimenting you!" Mo Ting laughed. "Let's go, Yan Er should be waking up soon …"
"By the way, how's our son?"
"What do you think? Zixi is doing well, but Zichen … "
Mo Ting didn't need to explain himself, but Tangning already understood.
"Didn't you say you were going to take Zichen to do a test?" Tangning asked. "If the child turns out to be a genius, wouldn't we be in luck?"
