The relationship between Tangning and Qiao Sen was that of a friend. As soon as Tangning thought about how, from today onwards, there would no longer be a filmmaker that loved sci-fi more than she did, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Qiao Sen's daughter was infected by Tangning's emotions, so she also broke down in tears. Even when Mo Ting arrived at the hospital, Tangning could not stop crying.
Mo Ting's heart ached as he watched his woman cry. He immediately pulled Tangning up from the floor and carried her in his arms.
Qiao Sen's death was too sudden and no one expected it. At that time, 'The Ant Queen' was only left with the most important part of filming before it could enter post-production. But, Qiao Sen was no longer around.
"Tangning, you are still pregnant. Don't be too sad. I simply hope that I will be able to see 'The Ant Queen' in theaters soon. That would be the best consolation for my father."
Tangning did not say a word. She simply looked at Qiao Sen's daughter and bowed three times.
Afterwards, Mo Ting carried Tangning in his arms and carried her home. But, throughout the entire process, she did not say a word.
Mo Ting knew that she needed time to digest what had happened, so he notified Lu Che to temporarily stop filming for 'The Ant Queen' to comfort the crew.
Tangning simply listened as she leaned against the bed. It took her quite some time to recover from the shock of Qiao Sen's death.
Seeing this, Mo Ting's heart ached as he sat on the edge of the bed and held onto Tangning's hand, "The only thing you can do for him right now is to finish filming 'The Ant Queen' because that is his wish. Ning … I know you're very sad, but the dead can't be brought back to life. Pull yourself together. The entire crew is waiting for you to deal with the aftermath."
Tangning lifted her eyes and looked at Mo Ting. Her sadness was clear on her face as she sniffled a little before replying, "I'm fine. I've always known that life is fragile, but I've never experienced it before. Now that I'm witnessing with my own eyes, the person I was talking to just one day pass away today …"
"I just feel … it's very sudden and hard to accept," Tangning sobbed as tears once again rolled down her face.
"That's why I thought of you. Because you promised to film 'The Ant Queen', you've been running around the office, home, and set like a spinning top. I'm really scared …"
Mo Ting understood how Tangning felt and understood her sudden panic. Facing the sudden disappearance of a life, anyone would find it hard to accept. Above all, Tangning had always been more sensitive to emotions than others. She couldn't help but think of the people close to her and feel guilty.
So, Mo Ting once again pulled her into his embrace and gently patted her on the back, "You, when you're strong, even a man can't compete with you. Yet, you still make things difficult for yourself. Why do you have to bear the burden that you shouldn't have?"
"Be strong, huh?"
After hearing this, Tangning felt a little better. She cried a little more before she finally calmed down.
After a short break, Tangning insisted on returning to the set. Mo Ting knew she needed to vent, so he accompanied her to the set.
After hearing about Qiao Sen's death, everyone was immersed in grief. In fact, many people felt that without Qiao Sen, 'The Ant Queen' would no longer be 'The Ant Queen'. After all, no one was as passionate about the film as Qiao Sen was.
So, as soon as Tangning arrived on set, everyone looked at her and asked, "President Tang, are we still going to film? How are we going to film? "
Tangning sobbed for a moment before she replied, "Of course, we will continue filming. I've already contacted Director An Zihao. After he's sorted everything out, he will replace Qiao Sen."
After hearing this, everyone was not very interested.
So, Tangning continued, "I know it's hard for you to accept Director Qiao Sen's passing, and I don't want to accept it either. But, Director Qiao Sen's biggest wish was to see 'The Ant Queen' hit the screens. So, I hope that everyone will continue to work hard for the film. When the day comes that the film is released, I will remember all of your names and remember every single one of your faces."
After hearing Tangning's words, the staff on set were moved to tears, "OK, since President Tang doesn't want to give up, we have no reason to give up either!"
"We will persist until the end and help the new director settle in as quickly as possible!"
"Thank you." Although Tangning was in Mo Ting's arms, from everyone's point of view, the woman in front of them appeared weak and fragile, but she had an extremely strong spirit.
That kind of cohesion, that kind of hot-bloodedness, quickly united everyone.
"Everyone on set of 'The Ant Queen' will receive double their original salary," Mo Ting said.
This last sentence was said by Mo Ting. It was a reward and a way to comfort his subordinates.
Because, this was the only way for the staff to put in more effort and give their all for the film …
Soon, An Zihao returned from overseas. The first thing he did was head over to Superstar Media to look for Tangning. At this time, Tangning was at the agency preparing to issue an obituary.
"I'm sorry, Zihao, for asking you so urgently to save the day …"
"There's no need to say these things between us. Leave it to me," An Zihao replied. "I can't do much else, but I'm willing to do anything for a friend. Plus, I'm happy that I can still be of use to you."
"As for Xingyan …"
"She's attending an audition overseas. She has an assistant with her, so you don't need to worry about her for now."
Like this, An Zihao received all of Qiao Sen's information and decided to do his best to understand Qiao Sen's style and narrow the gap between them.
As for Qiao Sen's obituary, An Zihao gave Tangning a suggestion.
"Didn't President Mo stop you?"
"If you issue an obituary now, you'll give others another reason to slander you. Plus, I've heard that because of Luo Sheng, you've made enemies out there."
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Tangning asked. "If they want to slander me, then go ahead. If they want to ridicule me, then go ahead. I don't care what the public says, but if a scumbag tries to provoke me, I won't show any mercy."
"Qiao Sen has spent his entire life studying sci-fi. I don't want him to leave quietly."
"Fine. After all, there are so many people fighting with you now. As long as you're happy."
After speaking, An Zihao grabbed all of the information in his hands. He needed to focus on the film as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Tangning issued an obituary on behalf of Superstar Media.
The wish that Qiao Sen couldn't achieve, she was going to help him achieve it.
It didn't take long before news of Qiao Sen's death was announced. The cause of his death was a cerebral hemorrhage caused by overwork while filming Tangning's film 'The Ant Queen' …
This made President Fan extremely happy …
