In her early years of fame, Bai Yu experienced a lot of unspoken rules. So, she knew how to conduct herself. In the end, she used Hai Rui as a platform to launch herself into the international film industry. Afterwards, she founded Yi Xing Film and Television and worked hard with her husband in Hollywood.
Of course, the important turning point for Bai Yu that Mo Ting mentioned was during her time at Hai Rui. She originally had a loving boyfriend and they were together for many years. But, for the sake of her future, she decided to abort the child and split up with her lukewarm singer boyfriend.
For female celebrities, youth was a short-lived rice bowl. There was no reason to retreat to a family right after starting out.
So, Bai Yu did not hesitate at all. After her ex-boyfriend found out, he almost broke down. But, he still maintained his rationality and let her go.
Perhaps, he wanted Bai Yu to regret, so her stubborn ex-boyfriend suddenly realized reality and used his connections to climb his way up the ranks. He was now a publicly acknowledged coach in the music industry.
It could be said that Bai Yu and Tangning's paths were very similar. So, if Bai Yu was in Tangning's shoes, she wouldn't have become an actress while she was a supermodel, nor would she have a child while she was at the peak of her popularity. Was she crazy? How many people wanted to be famous on this path?
Why didn't Tangning cherish the opportunities she had?
Bai Yu hated Tangning because she had sacrificed so much to get to where she was today. Yet, Tangning insisted on proving that her choice was wrong.
As Tangning returned to work, the cast of 'Concubine Ning', which she had been preparing for the past few months, naturally began to move forward. Although Tangning was always mentioned as the female lead, it was never officially announced. Because of this, An Zihao once again came looking for Tangning, "Are you ready to enter the set?"
For such a long palace drama, once she entered the set, it would definitely take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Although Tangning really liked the story...
"Let me think about it," Tangning replied. If she was to be away from her baby for so long, it was indeed a worry.
"You can return home every day and don't have to worry about not seeing your child," An Zihao tried to tempt her. An Zihao tried to coax her. "There are a few other actresses who are also in contact with the crew. If you don't make a decision soon, there's a good chance someone else will cut you off."
"In that case, let them take the lead..." Tangning smiled.
"Do you think there's anyone more suitable than you for this role? The contract was already in front of you, but you refused to sign it! "
It wasn't that Tangning wasn't tempted by a script that challenged her acting skills. Plus, she had never tried wearing an ancient costume before. But, she had her concerns...
"You have to give me an answer by tomorrow morning." An Zihao was getting impatient. This book had been prepared for far too long. Even if it was delayed for another day, it would be a waste.
"Uh huh," Tangning nodded her head. "Didn't you say you wanted Xingyan to play one of the roles? What about now? "
"She has other ideas." An Zihao revealed a rare look of relief.
Chen Xingyan now had the ability to consider a lot of things on her own. Whether it was suitable or not, she would take the initiative to bring it up. An Zihao finally saw the potential of a superstar in her.
…
Tangning really wanted to challenge 'Concubine Ning'. But, as she looked at the sleeping faces of her babies, she decided against it.
There would be more good scripts, but once the time to accompany the baby was over, it would never return.
Mo Ting seemed to have seen through Tangning's doubts, so as her manager, he gave the production crew a reply. Tangning had agreed to join 'Concubine Ning' and they could officially announce it.
"Of course, the babies need to spend time with them, but you also need to fulfill your dreams. I've already spoken to the production crew. You can go home every day and no one will compete with you to accompany the babies at night. During the day, let the two mothers take care of the naughty babies... "
As Bai Lihua couldn't take care of two babies on her own, Xia Yuling handed over the Tang Family business to Tang Jingxuan and retired with the intention of helping Bai Lihua take care of Tangning and Mo Ting's babies.
Her grandmother was a biological researcher and her maternal grandmother was a famous businesswoman. Plus, both of them were born into socialites. So, when it came to their education, they had no worries.
Tangning looked deeply into Mo Ting's eyes. She knew this was the person that understood her the most, so she stopped struggling and nodded her head.
"Just because you don't have 24/7 company doesn't mean you aren't a good mother. Don't feel guilty. When I have time, I will bring them to visit you on set."
Mo Ting would always remember how, when Tangning was just one step away from becoming an international supermodel, she had to learn acting from scratch for the sake of 'Stupid'.
At a time like this, the support and companionship of a lover was the greatest affirmation.
"OK, Daddy Ting!"
Originally, Tangning's role in 'Concubine Ning' was going to be a success. The production team had already made preparations to announce it to the public. As the entire drama was of high quality, the male lead was not a popular male idol, but someone with solid acting skills.
However, what they didn't expect was …
... overnight, the producers of 'Concubine Ning' suddenly changed their mind. Originally, Tangning was going to play two roles on her own, but in the end, they decided to add in another actress and let her play one of the roles.
The plot of 'Concubine Ning' had already been mentioned before. It was the story of a concubine that caused chaos and was beheaded. But, the turning point of the story was that the concubine did not come back to life. Instead, she changed from her usual self and became the 'virtuous concubine' that everyone praised. Afterwards, the sisters began to fight each other for the identity of the concubine. According to the producers, the new plot would also include a fight between the two sisters...
The tone of the script had suddenly changed …
The originally well-developed plot suddenly turned into a melodramatic Mary Sue...
So, An Zihao delivered a new script to Tangning.
Tangning glanced at it and threw it to one side, "Regardless of whether I'm the female lead or not, there's only one role left. Plus, I don't want to act in a melodramatic drama like this."
"This drama has been defined as having two female leads. Do you know who the other female lead is?" An Zihao looked at her with interest. "Bai Yu. Bai Yu's reputation has always been there. Plus, she's bringing money into the cast. So, the producers naturally felt that this was the icing on the cake. After all, Bai Yu is publicly acknowledged as a skilled actress. So, with her around, the quality of the drama will not be affected."
"As expected, they're targeting me," Tangning laughed.
"Tangning, because the script is complete and the post production is very good, no matter who acts in this drama, the results won't be too bad. Of course, it's even better if there's a skilled actress. If you refuse to act in this drama, then once it becomes popular, the public will inevitably be jealous."
"I thought you were afraid of Bai Yu."
"I'm not acting!" Tangning said decisively. "You know me. When I accept a script, the person I work with is secondary. The script is the most important thing. Do you think you can convince yourself with a script like this? "
