Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After learning from Director Zhang that he had successfully gotten the role, Ning Xiunian postponed other less important arrangements for this movie and focused on preparing to play the supporting role.
The time to go to the production team was arranged to be a week later.
Before that, Ning Xiunian decided to bid farewell to his friends for the time being.
He first sent a message to Qin Huan, who he was most familiar with, to ask him out for a meal. In the end, he found out that the other party’s production team had just wrapped up.
“I’m almost done here. How about we meet at my place if it’s convenient?” Qin Huan glanced at the time casually. “I’ll set the location.”
“Sure, my treat.” Ning Xiunian nodded and agreed.
It was not easy to find out that he had finally gotten a supporting role in Hollywood after so long. Ning Xiunian finally shook his head. When Qin Huan heard this news again, he was sincerely happy for his good friend.
As for himself, he looked at the people in the production team who were drinking red wine with slightly flushed faces. Qin Huan didn’t touch a single drop of wine.
Before he came, he had said that he still had something on later, so everyone was very tactful and didn’t cause trouble. However, when the atmosphere reached a certain level, everyone in the production team got along well.
“Senior,” Nan Jin, who was sitting at the side, said. “I haven’t thanked you for taking care of and nurturing me in the production team.”
This time, everyone had dinner together after filming, so Nan Jin, who had finished his scenes early, also came over to show his face again.
“It didn’t take me much effort.” Qin Huan waved his hand.
He had just seen a good seedling and helped out.
Thinking that he had an appointment with Ning Xiunian later, he stood up and prepared to leave. He also informed the production team.
“I’ll send you off, Senior.” Nan Jin took the initiative to speak and followed him out.
The others had almost finished drinking and were a little drunk.
Only Nan Jin and Qin Huan were still sober.
Coincidentally, Nan Jin was about to leave at this time. He had other plans tomorrow. Seeing that Qin Huan had made a request, he took the opportunity to follow. The two of them told the director of the production team and walked out.
At this moment, it was late at night outside. The night sky was so deep that there was no sporadic light. Even the moon was covered by dark clouds, making the sky look gray, leaving only endless darkness.
The cold night wind blew on their faces after the two of them came out. Then, it carried away some of the drunkenness caused by the alcohol, and they couldn’t help but sober up.
Qin Huan and Nan Jin had already seen Ning Xiunian’s car when they walked to the roadside.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”
When Ning Xiunian saw Qin Huan walking over, he stuck his head out of the car and waved at him.
However, to be on the safe side, he was still wearing some disguise to prevent the paparazzi from appearing at any time.
Nan Jin was a little surprised to see Ning Xiunian here, but he quickly concealed his surprise and his expression returned to calmness.
He naturally knew about the commotion on the Internet recently, not to mention that the other party was an artiste from his Little Sister’s company. “h.e.l.lo, Senior.” Nan Jin bowed respectfully.
Ning Xiunian was amused by his reserved appearance. Then, he looked at Qin Huan, who was standing at the side, and then at Nan Jin. His curious gaze swept back and forth between the two of them before finally stopping on Nan Jin.
He wanted to say something else, but from the corner of his eye, he saw a faint reflection from the gra.s.s beside him. He immediately frowned and shrank back into the car.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you along,” Ning Xiunian took the initiative to say.
Nan Jin was about to say that there was no need when Qin Huan, who was beside him, reached out first and pulled him into the car.
Nan Jin didn’t understand, but he couldn’t be forceful and reject their kindness, so he could only follow.
After the car drove a distance away, Qin Huan explained to Nan Jin what he meant.
“There were probably paparazzi secretly taking photos at the entrance of the restaurant just now. If we stay, we might encounter something again, so we brought you along first.” He was very familiar with such things.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, the few of them knew the tricks of the paparazzi and reporters at a glance.
Hearing this, Nan Jin could only tell him the address he was preparing to go home. Then, Ning Xiunian reported it to the driver in front.
“When are you leaving?” Qin Huan looked at Ning Xiunian beside him.
“One more week.”
Ning Xiunian told him the time. “I’ve been familiarizing myself with the script recently. I reckon I won’t be able to make a move for two to three months when I get to the production team.”
The confidentiality measures for this kind of movie were top-notch. Even actors like them had to sign a confidentiality agreement after entering.
“I told you that you would definitely be right to go to Qiaoqiao.” Qin Huan smiled.
Previously, Qin Huan had naturally played a big role in persuading Ning Xiunian to sign a contract with Murong Qiao to go to CG company.
Otherwise, Ning Xiunian would probably stay in the studio for the rest of his life. With his lazy personality, who knew when this opportunity would fall into his hands?
Ning Xiunian agreed. “Yes. Your Little Sister is my lucky star.”
Nan Jin, who was sitting at the side, naturally heard their conversation. When he heard Murong Qiao’s name, he subconsciously focused on the topic they were talking about.
Thinking about how he had been in the entertainment industry for so long and had run around the variety show production teams every day, but he had not seen his Little Sister for a long time, Nan Jin couldn’t help but look a little disappointed.
Qin Huan, who was sitting closest to Nan Jin, inadvertently saw his expression and thought that the other party was a little envious of Ning Xiunian’s opportunity.
Therefore, he patted Nan Jin’s shoulder kindly. “With your talent, as long as you put in more effort and acc.u.mulation in the future, you will definitely have a chance too.”
“Ah, alright, Senior,” Nan Jin replied hurriedly.
However, he was still thinking about his Little Sister.
He missed the time when he was unintentionally pulled over to partic.i.p.ate in a variety show. That was probably his happiest time.
Although he was not in the same team as his Little Sister, he could see his Little Sister every day when he woke up.
The more Nan Jin thought about it, the more engrossed he became.
Beside him, Ning Xiunian and Qin Huan discussed the matter of acting. The two of them were straightforward people to begin with. In addition, Qin Huan knew Nan Jin’s personality, so there was no need to be reserved in front of him.
As they spoke, the chauffeur drove the car to the entrance of the district where Nan Jin had reported the address.
“I’ll get off here. Thank you,” Nan Jin hurriedly said when he saw the familiar scenery in front of him.
This was close enough to his house. Seeing that the chauffeur still had the intention to go in, Nan Jin hurriedly stopped him. He didn’t want to delay the two seniors’ matters anymore.
When he got out of the car and watched Ning Xiunian’s car drive away, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath and clear his mind with the cold air he inhaled.
The current him was far from qualified.
Nan Jin reflected on his current situation and frowned in dissatisfaction.
Thinking that only an outstanding person like Ning Xiunian could be signed to his Little Sister’s company, Nan Jin couldn’t help but have another goal for his efforts from now on..
