My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 863 How Fancy Must It Be

There were no major movements in the scene either—just walking, lifting the head, and turning around.

The first scene was a scene where Ning Ran's character was departing for either a long time or for good.

This time, Ning Ran walked slower. Every step she took was heavier than the last. When she raised her head to

study the room, it felt as if she was bidding the place goodbye with her sad eyes.

However, she left the room quicker than she entered it.

Since she had made the decision to leave, it had to be a decision made with plans. Her mind was made up, and she

was not going to hesitate any longer in walking toward a new life.

“Okay. Next!”

Instead of stopping the filming, Xie Dazui said it was okay, and that was a sign of his approval of Ning Ran's

performance.

The next scene started, where Ning Ran's character merely changed her work environment. She still had the same

profession, just in a different place.

This time, Ning Ran entered as quickly as she left. There was still nostalgia and the reluctance to leave, but there

was no hint of solemn farewell because she could still return.

“Very good. There's an obvious secondary idea to this. Continue!”

Xie Dazui had started praising Ning Ran.

The third was the easiest for Ning Ran. Her character was neither leaving the country nor changing a work

environment; she was only leaving temporarily. She just came to the classroom to make sure that the careless

students had closed the windows.

The look in her eyes was a lighthearted one, devoid of farewell and sorrow. She was going on a break or getting

married. The sun was shining in her heart, a smile was on her face, and a skip was in her steps.

To Xie Dazui, it was perfect. They were three scenes with vastly different details despite having the same base

movements.

Even the ordinary audience could see the differences in the scenes, let alone the professionals.

After all, the target audience of the television shows was the general public—people who were not in the

entertainment industry.

Good works were works that the audience could understand and like.

If the film were meant to show off the skills of those involved, the box office would flop even if the show had the

approvals and praises of the professionals.

Some media works aimed to be arthouse films, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, it catered toward a

niche market, and it was definitely not one that would rake in profits for the investors.

The perfect performance would be Ning Ran's performance, which would gain the approval of the professionals

and the understanding of the general public.

Xie Dazui could barely contain his excitement. “Have you really never filmed a music video before?”

Ning Ran smiled and shook her head. “No, I haven't. I'm a rookie in the industry, and I've only been in a television

show and a film. The film isn't in theaters yet.”

“You're a Star Entertainment artiste?” Xie Dazui then asked.

The staff members shared another look with each other. It was their first time seeing Xie Dazui talking about

something outside of work with an artiste.

Xie Dazui had always been extremely proud of his skills, and he never cared if the artiste he worked with was

famous. As a matter of fact, some of the artistes even had to let him do as he pleased.

They would be infuriated during their filming, and they would curse at him once the filming was wrapped up. Xie

Dazui would not take it in silence either, so his terrible reputation spread like wildfire.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Dazui seemed to have turned into a completely different person. Not only did he not

scowl at Ning Ran, but he was even chatting with her.

“Yes. I'm from Star Entertainment,” Ning Ran replied.

“I heard that your boss is your boyfriend.” Xie Dazui continued gossiping.

Ning Ran only smiled in silence. That was a question unrelated to work, so Ning Ran had the right not to answer

him.

Nevertheless, Xie Dazui remained keen as he continued, “I thought you were just an artiste who's building her way

up with money, but it turns out you've got the skills. Dilla will be coming to the country for a music video filming.

Originally, some of the famous local stars will be filming it with her, but I'm going to recommend you to her team.”

“Dilla? The internationally famous singer who won the Grapho Awards?”

“That's her. She's releasing an Asian-styled song soon, and apparently, her inspiration was from a Chinese song.

Moreover, she's coming to China for her tour, so she's planning to film the new song's music video here as well.

There's a role for a fairy in the visuals, and I think you'll be able to play the role perfectly. I'll be recommending you

to her team soon,” Xie Dazui said.

At that, Ning Ran and Wang Xiaoou exchanged a look. They never thought he was going to recommend new jobs to

her.

Dilla was a singer of Chinese ethnicity, and she had won many major international awards in the past. Furthermore,

many of the theme songs of international films were sung by her, and she was well-known across the globe.

It would certainly be beneficial for Ning Ran to work with someone as prominent as Dilla.

However, Ning Ran was not a singer, and she was nowhere close to the music industry because she was not well-

known enough.

A big shot like Dilla might not accept Xie Dazui's suggestion.

“Thank you, but let's talk about this another time,” Ning Ran responded, knowing that she was still far from being

able to interact with an illustrious star like Dilla.

It was highly likely that Dilla had never even heard of the name Ding Mi.

“Don't worry. I'll do my best to make this happen,” Xie Dazui confidently said, however. “All right, we'll be filming Shi

Jie now.”

Like Ning Ran's scene, Shi Jie had to walk into the classroom as well. He then had to imagine Ning Ran's character

appearing in the classroom and smiling at him.

His scene was connected with Ning Ran's. After the teacher's departure, the youth would then return to the

classroom to think about his teacher.

The scenes were mostly meant to portray a student-teacher relationship and nostalgia for the past.

However, right as Shi Jie stepped into the room, Xie Dazui called for the cameras to stop rolling.

“You're a teenager! Why are you walking like an old man? Are you coming back to the school after your sixtieth

birthday?” Xie Dazui snapped.

It was harsh but funny, and some of the staff members were trying hard to keep their laughter in.

Ning Ran was holding her laughter back as well. Shi Jie was mimicking her, but his comprehension of the scene was

wrong, for the teacher and the student were of different ages and in different stages of life.

Shi Jie's face turned red for a moment, and he did not speak.

He had been worried that Ning Ran would be put into a tough spot by Xie Dazui, but Ning Ran ended up finishing

her part in one take while the director berated him.

“Again!” Xie Dazui gloomily uttered.

Unfortunately, Shi Jie failed again. “One more time!”

“Again!”

“Do it again!”

Shi Jie filmed the scene dozens of times, but the director was never satisfied.

Xie Dazui became more and more frustrated, and he was starting to show his terrible side again.

In contrast, Shi Jie was getting more and more anxious until he no longer knew what the director wanted from him.

It was just a scene of a teenager walking into the classroom, and Shi Jie frankly could not think of how fancily he

was supposed to do it.

“I'm done with this!” Shi Jie snarled.
