That night, Mo Ting woke up in one of Hai Rui's waiting rooms to find Tangning sitting at the head of the bed. She smiled at him, "You're awake?"
"I didn't …"
"I asked Lu Che to carry you onto the bed. Even so, you didn't wake up," Tangning laughed bitterly as she waved the script in her hands. Tangning gave a bitter laugh as she shook the script in her hand, "Because of this, you didn't sleep at all."
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it sound. How was it? Have you finished reading it?" Mo Ting tried to divert Tangning's attention. "It's because you said you wanted to add Senior Long and it's going to be a teacher-student story …"
"This script isn't as important as you. Don't suffer like this for me in the future." "If you can't handle it anymore and get tired because of this, what do you expect me to do?"
"I won't," Mo Ting assured as he hugged her. "I won't ever!"
Tangning did not continue to pester him. She simply returned home with Mo Ting and they cooked dinner together. After taking care of their daughter, they curled up on the sofa and began to discuss the plot of 'The Ant Queen 2'.
"I think your script is already complete. But, you still need to add a few more things."
"Add what?"
"Add an antagonist. What do you think about playing the antagonist this time? I'm sure you'll look very sexy as the antagonist! "Tangning said.
After hearing this, Mo Ting felt a little doting and helpless. Didn't they agree that he wouldn't be taking part in the second film? From the looks of it, he had fallen into another trap. But, the main problem was that they hadn't successfully invited a new director yet. Speaking of Bai Junye, Tangning wasn't sure what his current situation was.
The couple discussed a few details before Tangning gave Xia Yuling a phone call to check on Zichen. Of course, the two mothers took good care of him.
Tangning returned to Bai Junye's hospital the next day. But, when she arrived, Bai Junye was already packing his luggage to be discharged.
"Have you thought it through?"
"Life is but a drop in the ocean," Bai Junye replied. "Thank you for helping me pay off my loan. I will find a way to pay you back."
"Are you still not planning to sign a contract with me? The script is out, and everything is ready! "
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. Perhaps you asked me to film a film to make the creditor think that Tangning was interested in me and that I might be of some use. So, he promised me that if I could film a good sci-fi film for him, he would let bygones be bygones. What do you think? "
Tangning was suddenly speechless as she looked at Bai Junye.
"Since all of you think I can do it, I'll give it a try. Who knows, I might really become famous and surpass you?"
After speaking, Bai Junye put his luggage on his back and whispered in her ear, "I hope you find a director that you're satisfied with."
Just like that, Tangning watched as Bai Junye left. She couldn't do anything because Bai Junye was completely unruly. He couldn't be controlled by anyone. Despite her repeated invitations, Bai Junye was not moved at all.
Now that things had come to this, what else could she do?
Soon, Springfall officially announced that they would be filming the first film in the sci-fi series' Parasite '. The film would be directed by Bai Junye and the international superstar Fan Di would be the main lead. As soon as the announcement was made, it immediately attracted the attention of the film industry.
Tangning's success with 'The Ant Queen' made everyone realize that Beijing's sci-fi industry was still a blank slate. Springfall wasn't fooling around either. From the screenwriter to the actors, they went through a strict selection process before they finally made the decision.
This meant that the sci-fi industry was about to enter a new era.
However, according to rumors online, Tangning had previously invited Bai Junye to direct 'The Ant Queen 2', but he chose to direct 'Parasite' instead. This confused the public.
Wasn't 'The Ant Queen' more attractive?
…
"This Bai Junye doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness. I can't believe you treated him so well and even President Mo went to look for him. What a waste!" Long Jie was furious after hearing about this. "Is there something wrong with this man's brain?"
"He owes the other party a debt, so it's only natural for him to repay it this way," Tangning replied. "Besides, it was his personal choice. He didn't do anything wrong."
"How could you speak up for him …"
"I'm not speaking up for him. This Bai Junye is definitely not an unscrupulous person."
"But, there's no suitable director right now. What are you going to do? Why don't you do it yourself? "
After hearing Long Jie's excited suggestion, Tangning shook her head, "Although I've been learning from Jones for a few months, I'm still a newbie. Before this, I didn't even have any work to my name."
"You didn't act before you became an actress either, did you? What else could you do? You don't think anyone else is suitable. "
Now that sci-fi films were starting to gain competition, it was good for the industry as a whole. As long as it was a good film, it didn't matter if it was a healthy competition.
Plus, making Tangning feel threatened was also a form of motivation.
"Let me think about it a little more."
The quality of the director determined the success or failure of a film. Thinking of this, Tangning wished that Qiao Sen was still alive. How great would that be?
How excited would he be to see that there was competition?
The sci-fi that he loved was now being valued by the public …
…
After hearing that Bai Junye had been snatched away, Mo Ting comforted Tangning, "It's not that bad. You still have a lot of options."
"I know that the top directors in the country are all great in their own ways. It's not that I don't think they're capable, I simply feel that every director has something that they're good at. If they can't film the film that they're good at, it would be a waste of their talent."
"Look at Qiao Sen."
"Take your time and you'll eventually find a suitable one."
In reality, Mo Ting's desk already had plenty of information on directors. But, because of the slump in the Chinese sci-fi industry, not many directors had experience in this area. So, the reason why Tangning chose Bai Junye was because he had a wildness to his films. This was something that Tangning liked and no one else had.
But, the director had already been signed. Even though he was the Big Boss of the entertainment industry, he couldn't break the rules of the industry.
So, with Bai Junye joining the competition, Tangning felt a lot of pressure.
'The Ant Queen 1' had Qiao Sen. But, without him, Tangning was like a bird without wings.
Although the audience acknowledged An Zihao's abilities in the second half of 'The Ant Queen 2', he still needed to put in a lot of effort.
Could 'The Ant Queen 2' continue to be as exciting as' The Ant Queen 2 '? This was the question that everyone was most concerned about …
How could Tangning overcome her own limitations?
