Chapter 650: Chapter 648: Do You Already Have a Little Sister?_1
Lu Fan once again shouted into the phone, "Bullshit honeymoon, get back to the company by tomorrow at the latest. An international big production movie has sent an invitation, asking you to audition. The director is the internationally famous—Carl. This film is his years of planning, and now it’s just waiting for this one to make a run at the Oscars."
"If you can be selected as the female lead, or even the supporting actress, it would be enough to shine on the international stage! You absolutely can’t miss out, do you understand?"
"Once you’re done with this movie, you can be clingy however you want!"
Lu Fan spoke with a serious and solemn tone.
Xia Ningxing pondered for a moment, searching her mind for information about this director—
Director Carl, a top-tier international director, also known in the industry as the "Madman Director."
The man was stubborn and unyielding, very rigid, but every piece of work he made was of high quality.
However, he was particularly picky about actors, not allowing the use of stand-ins, nor using unnecessary special effects. Actors had to perform personally; otherwise, he would never want that actor.
For example, in one of the movies, the female lead had a cliff-jumping scene. Normally just hanging in front of a green screen and pretending to jump would do, with some special effects added later. But he actually dragged people to a real cliff to perform the jump, and he wouldn’t allow the use of a stand-in...
That’s why he was called the "Madman Director" by people in the circle.
Actors had a love-hate relationship with him.
But to become famous and well-known, actors still flocked to his works.
"What movie is it? The recently much-talked-about ’Desert Island Adventure’?" Xia Ningxing recalled the news she had seen online before, when there had been media reports that the show was publicly casting for male and female leads.
"Yes, that’s the one!" Lu Fan nodded. "Although it’s a public audition, being actively invited means you don’t have to go through the first round of interviews and can go straight to the final round."
"However, because the script has written the female lead to be very powerful, and Director Carl doesn’t want to use too many special effects, there will be a closed audition for the leading actress."
"I’ve already inquired, and there will be various rigorous training events like swimming, weighted running, tree climbing, sanda, extreme heat, severe cold, and more. In the end, they’ll choose the actress with the best training results as the female lead, second place as the supporting actress, and third place as the second supporting actress."
The selection is so strict because ’Desert Island Adventure’ tells the story of a female lead who combines intelligence and combat power to save her daughter, leading a team to a mysterious island in search of the mythical flower of life. Along the way, they not only encounter various strange creatures and animals on the island but also face members of a dark organization trying to seize it.
Because there are many action and fight scenes, the film demands strong physical fitness from its actors; otherwise, it’s simply impossible to shoot this kind of movie, especially since the director also likes the actors to perform on location!
This is truly difficult upon difficult!
"This is indeed Carl the director’s style," Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her lips.
No doubt, this way of auditioning is crazy!
Those in the know realize it’s filming a movie; those who don’t think it’s some special training...
Lu Fan then asked again, "Are you confident you can land the lead role?"
"How could I not be?" Xia Ningxing countered, lifting the corners of her lips confidently. "These trainings may be difficult for others, but for me, they’re a piece of cake!"
What Lu Fan loved the most was her brimming confidence. "I’m looking forward to you finishing first."
"OK!" Xia Ningxing nodded. "If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now since I’m just a pitiful little one on only a day’s honeymoon!"
Her tone was full of pretended aggrievance, a complete shift in demeanor.
Lu Fan rolled his eyes exasperatedly, "Go be lovey-dovey then!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone first.
After putting down the phone, Xia Ningxing turned around and threw herself into Lu Tingli’s arms.
The man’s embrace was broad and warm, like a harbor where the boat comes to rest.
Xia Ningxing truly wished time could stop at this moment so she could hold him like this forever.
"Going to film?" Lu Tingli asked, reaching out to touch her head.
"Yes." Xia Ningxing looked up and sighed, "I’m sorry, Lu, we had promised to go on a honeymoon trip, but now it’s impossible."
She had to get the lead role in this movie, no matter what.
Perhaps she could win an award in one go, and then her dream would come true smoothly.
And then she could retire and lie low.
"No need to apologize, it’s alright." Lu Tingli cradled her delicate face, planting a kiss on her forehead. "First achieve your dreams, the rest can follow."
"After all, we have a long life ahead of us, don’t we?"
He asked back.
Xia Ningxing was startled. Uncontrollably, her mind echoed his past death at thirty.
But now, since he was reborn, he must be able to break that curse!
He absolutely could!
"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Lu Tingli saw her troubled expression and couldn’t help but ask with concern.
Xia Ningxing hurriedly shook her head, "No, there’s no problem. You’re right, we have lots of time!"
Lu Tingli smiled indulgently, "Then let’s get up now, go have breakfast, or else you’ll end up with gallstones."
"Let’s go."
When Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli came downstairs, Mrs. Xia and the others were already seated at the dining table.
The servants were serving breakfast.
"Mommy!" Seeing Xia Ningxing, Chuanchuan immediately ran over from his seat and cuddled into her arms, then reached out his little hand, both curious and careful, touching her flat belly, "Mommy, is there a little sister in here already?"
???
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help frowning, "What’s up? Why do you suddenly ask that?"
It’s so embarrassing, don’t you know!
Xia Ningxing really wanted to pick up this kid and throw him out for five minutes.
"Last night I asked Auntie Sisi what bridal chamber means, then Auntie said the bridal chamber is to give me a little sister!" Chuanchuan explained in his milky voice, then his gaze fell back on her belly: "So does mommy have a new baby now?"
Before Xia Ningxing could speak, Lin Sisi cried out in self-pity first, "I didn’t want to discuss such things with a child, but last night your son kept bugging me for a long time, and I had no choice but to tell him in a tactful way."
"It’s okay, kids are naturally curious." Xia Ningxing smiled helplessly, then lifted her hand to pat Chuanchuan’s little head, answering him, "Mommy doesn’t have a sister in her belly right now."
"Then when can we have one?" Chuanchuan couldn’t help but ask.
He just couldn’t wait to have a little sister to play with!
"We’re never going to have one." Lu Tingli spoke up first.
"Why?" Chuanchuan immediately puffed up his cheeks, his big grape-like eyes staring at him.
