After Yu Feng's wedding, Tangning and Mo Ting appeared on the headlines of many entertainment newspapers. That level of popularity was something that many artists could only look up to. But, from that moment onwards, Tangning once again disappeared from the limelight and returned to filming.
However, the results of the Asian Model Public Trust Rankings were released. Tangning was ranked first in Asia with an income that was double that of the second place.
Her huge photo was published on the international news. But, to everyone's surprise, this powerful Asian model did not make an appearance at this year's Autumn/Winter Fashion Week!
"If Tangning is really going to film, then giving up everything she has is too courageous."
"Actually, an artist's value shouldn't be limited by the form they exist in. I think Tangning is well aware of her position and wants to challenge herself."
"Although I like her as a person... if she is actually going to film, I still wouldn't watch it."
"Exactly, a good character doesn't equal good acting."
Tangning was undoubtedly a miracle. After 9 years in the industry, it only took her 4 months to return to the top of the industry. Just as she was about to become a global supermodel, she actually made such a huge decision and was willing to make such a sacrifice.
The path she took...
... made the onlookers feel it was quite interesting.
...
On set, Tangning had already completed half of her scenes. That day, after the intense night scenes, Mo Ting's car arrived on set.
Tangning looked at the time. Without removing her makeup, she opened the car door, "It's already early in the morning, why are you here?"
"To pick you up to celebrate," Mo Ting said as he held onto the steering wheel and gestured for her to quickly get changed.
"Celebrate?" Tangning was confused. It wasn't her birthday, nor was it Mo Ting's. What was there to celebrate?
Mo Ting smiled without saying a word. Only after Tangning had changed did he leave the set with her.
"It's already so late. The restaurants outside are already closed."
Mo Ting did not say a word as he drove her home.
Before entering the house, Tangning was a little nervous. She was afraid this man would make a big fuss. However, after opening the door, all Tangning saw was a candlelit dinner in the living room. She relaxed and smiled as she complained, "You scared me."
"I have a present for you." Mo Ting held her hand as they sat down at the dining table. He then placed a white box in her hands.
Tangning tore open the fireworks on top of the box and opened the meticulously prepared box. Inside was a copy of 'Stupid'.
"So fast?" Tangning excitedly took out the book and quickly removed the packaging and the cover.
"A wedding present," Mo Ting said in seriousness, "The first book in the world is in your hands..."
"When will it be released?"
"Look below..." Mo Ting guided her.
Tangning froze for a moment as she suppressed her excitement and looked at the box again. She then noticed a key embedded in the middle of the box, "What is this?"
"Haven't you noticed?" Mo Ting subconsciously looked around...
Following his gaze, Tangning finally noticed the changes in the house. It seemed, everything came in pairs and they were all custom-made. Including the furniture and utensils, they all had their names written on them.
Tangning stood up from her seat and walked towards the bedroom. She then opened the bedroom door with the key in her hand. The originally Spanish palace style was now filled with the aura of newlyweds. It was now a combination of white and red. Everything in the bedroom also came in pairs and carried the unique logo of the couple.
"Since we are going to announce our marriage... we need to make it look like a newlyweds..." Mo Ting said as he stood behind Tangning and wrapped his arms around her. "From now on, on August 19th every year, we will decorate this room like a newlyweds. Every August 19th, we will treat it like we are newlyweds."
Tangning held back her tears as she asked in a choked up voice, "How long have you been decorating all this?"
"Since you agreed to announce our marriage..." Mo Ting released her from his embrace and walked over to her side to wipe away the tears on her face, "How could 'Stupid' be considered a present? I simply wanted to share my joy with you. This is what I call a pleasant surprise... "
"Although this is a flash marriage... I hope you can experience the love that other brides enjoy."
Tangning hung onto Mo Ting's neck as she began to cry...
"Don't be so nice to me."
Mo Ting carried her and placed her on the red bed. He then leaned against her and said, "You were even willing to give up your career for me. How could I let you lose?"
"If you continue to be so nice to me, I will have no choice but to give you my life," Tangning mumbled.
Mo Ting leaned against Tangning's body and asked in a raspy voice, "Are you still in your safe period?"
"Yes..." Tangning replied as she bit her lip.
...
The next morning, Mo Ting had just finished a video conference and returned to his office. Lu Che immediately approached him with some documents and handed them to Mo Ting, "This is an online drama produced by Qingshi Film and Television and Wind Film. It's called 'Starpath'. I received a synopsis from a special channel. The content is 70% similar to 'Stupid'."
"That's not all. To cater to the audience, not only did they choose to film while broadcasting, they even added in the male lead's emotions and changed it to a very ambiguous gay film... it seems they are trying to earn some quick cash."
"Are they trying to play around the edges?" Mo Ting scoffed as he received the documents.
"That's about it!" Lu Che nodded his head. Nowadays, the government had opened up their standards for film and television. So, if they were to film like this, there would be no problems. The biggest problem was actually Hai Rui.
"When will the online drama be released?"
"I estimate it to be early next month!" Lu Che replied.
Mo Ting threw away the documents; he had no intention of wasting too much energy on something like this, "From tomorrow onwards, I don't want to see the word 'Starpath' ever again!"
When faced with a profit-driven world, sometimes, one couldn't be too merciful.
"Understood, President!" Lu Che replied respectfully.
This was the birth of a movie. Sometimes, it wasn't as smooth as you thought it would be.
Tangning soon heard from Coque that Hai Rui's script had been used as a reference. But, Hai Rui used a lot of pressure, so the word 'Starpath' quickly disappeared without a trace.
But, even if they managed to prevent it this time, what about the next time? This was all because of Yue Shanshan!
"Hey, Tangning, has a new novel been released for 'Stupid'?" a staff member from the production team asked curiously after seeing her holding a book.
Tangning nodded her head, "Do you want to read it?"
"No need. Just tell me where I can buy it..."
"Little Yu, can you help me find an internet celebrity that's good at writing jokes?" Tangning suddenly asked.
Although she had already received a copy of the book, it would still take at least half a month for 'Stupid' to hit the market. In order to avoid any accidents, Tangning had an idea!
