Tangning did not force him. She simply smiled calmly.
In the film and television industry, there were 3 main categories: those with acting skills and popularity, those with acting skills but no popularity, and those with acting skills but no acting skills. Lin Sheng obviously belonged to the first category. As for Tangning... she barely even fell into the third category.
"It's fine, he's always been this serious," the assistant director reassured. He was afraid that Tangning would get angry and complain to Mo Ting.
Tangning smiled gently and turned to look at Director Coque. Coque shook her hand in a friendly manner and said in French, "I've already told you from the start, you are destined to be here."
"Please allow me to try out a scene and let the crew decide if I should stay or leave," Tangning requested in seriousness.
"Actually, there's no need for that."
"I want the entire team to be united. At least, I don't want to affect the progress and quality of 'Stupid'. I also hope everyone agrees with me..." Tangning explained calmly.
Coque looked into her eyes and realized no matter what she did, she had to be 100% serious. So, he nodded his head and agreed, "In that case, let's go to the rehearsal room. Everyone on set will be there."
"Thank you."
The average person didn't understand French. So, the only person that truly understood what Tangning wanted to do was Assistant Director He. This was also the reason why Mo Ting hired him. He wanted to help solve Director Coque's inconveniences. Even though, Coque didn't have much of a problem speaking in English.
Tangning actually wanted to try out a scene and had the guts to let the crew decide if she should stay or leave. Didn't she know that everyone on set was an expert in acting? How dare she bring it up!
However, Tangning did not panic at all. She listened to Coque's instructions and headed to the rehearsal room with everyone else.
To prevent Tangning from cheating, Coque printed out all 183 scenes that originally belonged to Yue Shanshan and asked Tangning to draw straws.
Everyone crowded around the rehearsal room anxiously. They wanted to see how badly a model could perform.
But, among them, Lin Sheng was missing.
"To be fair, can any one of you help me draw a straws?" Tangning said to the crew.
The script clerk closest to Tangning was a young man. With anticipation for a good show, he stepped forward and pulled out a piece of paper from the pile. He then showed it to everyone.
"Scene 47."
"Show me Yue Shanshan's 47 scenes," Coque said.
Afterwards, the relevant personnel immediately pulled up the footage and played it for everyone to see. The 47th scene was about the actress discovering that she was pregnant. On the screen, Yue Shanshan, after receiving the report, sat on the sofa with her arms wrapped around her knees and said a lot of nonsense to her manager. Most importantly, the expression on her face was a mixture of joy and worry, filled with disdain and ridicule towards fate.
Actually, it wasn't very outstanding. It was just an average performance. However, Yue Shanshan's eyes seemed to be able to speak.
It was a perfect expression of the actress' self-deprecating mood.
This scene … was very difficult.
Tangning was unlucky.
If it had been an actress seducing an athlete or abandoning a baby after giving birth, it would have been easier to control. However, she just had to pick one of the more difficult scenes in the middle.
Above all, with Yue Shanshan's performance, no matter what Tangning did, it would be a joke.
"Tangning, if you have any questions, you can..."
"No problem." "No problem," Tangning interrupted. In fact, she repeated herself twice, "No problem, I can do it."
Everyone looked at her suspiciously. However, she did not seem nervous at all. She simply said, "I can do it."
"Set reporter, pass the script to Tangning..."
"No need," Tangning replied straightforwardly.
It seemed, even Yue Shanshan wasn't as familiar with the lines of the actress in 'Stupid' as she was.
"OK, clear the set then. We will start directly from the hospital."
Everyone watching the show crossed their arms and took a few steps back with a mysterious smile on their faces. They were waiting to see Tangning make a fool of herself.
A model that walked the runway was supposed to wear a beautiful outfit and give off a pleasant visual experience. Yet, she actually ran all the way here to test everyone's patience.
Long Jie was also among the crowd. She was also curious as to whether Tangning could actually act.
Not only was she curious, she even pulled out her phone and began recording.
Only Tangning remained calm from start to finish. Separated by a door, no one knew what Tangning was preparing behind the door...
"I must be crazy to come all the way here to watch a model act."
"Shhh... this is President Mo's girlfriend. In a moment, control yourself, your laughter is the most exaggerated."
"Pfft, so what if she's his girlfriend? If she doesn't know how to act, then she doesn't know how to act... I refuse to believe that she's a genius. "
Amongst the crowd, two tall men suddenly appeared and stood behind everyone else. How could Mo Ting miss out on such an important event? He simply did not alert anyone as he stood at the back with Lu Che.
"It's starting, it's starting..."
Following the sound of banging, the room door suddenly burst open. That's right... he didn't push it open or kick it open, he used his body to knock it open...
It wasn't a forceful knock, he simply looked like he was stumbling.
As he stumbled, the report in Tangning's hands fell to the ground. On top of the report, one word was clearly written: pregnant.
Tangning did not say a word as her chest heaved up and down. Not long after, she suddenly burst out in anger as she kneeled on the floor, crumpled the report into a ball and threw it into the bin...
Afterwards, she leaned against the wall and suddenly did something shocking: she jumped up and down in the room...
It seemed, she wanted to kill the child!
Everyone began to panic. They thought there was a child in her stomach and they were afraid she would actually have a miscarriage.
Not only did she jump up, she also ran over to the sofa and jumped up. However, because she lost her footing, she suddenly fell down and almost hit the corner of the sofa. But, just a second ago, she wanted to kill the child so badly, but now, she subconsciously covered her stomach.
She was an actress, but she was also a mother. She had instincts.
So, after struggling on the floor for a few seconds, she suddenly lifted her head and revealed a detached and arrogant expression...
She then grabbed her phone from the table and gave her manager a phone call, "Jessie, I'm f * cking pregnant!"
The scene...
After acting, Tangning returned to her normal expression as she tidied up her clothes and put on her shoes.
But, who was going to tell the group of onlookers what had just happened?
The air in the rehearsal room suddenly became very thin, and everyone was abnormally quiet …
Everyone's eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe it …
"Can anyone pinch me? Did the actress in the script come to life?" A staff member suddenly turned around and asked the people around him, "Or was I hallucinating?"
