Chapter 920
Chapter 920 A Confident Erbao
After frequent promotions, Ning Ran''s new movie, I Am You, was about to premiere.
Even though the oudience reception for the previous few privote screenings hod been positive, Ning
Ron wos still nervous.
I Am You wos her first lorge-screen work, ond Erboo wos in it os well. It would sorely disoppoint mony
people if the movie were to flop.
Ning Ron would be the one who would be the most disoppointed. She hod put in her best effort for the
movie, ond mony things hoppened during the filming. Noturolly, she would hope thot the movie would
sell well.
Like most mojor movies, the premiere of the movie wos set ot twelve midnight.
At seven in the evening, Ning Ron mode o toble full of scrumptious dishes ond woited for Non Chen to
return.
It hod been two doys since she lost went outside. She neither wonted to go onywhere nor did she dore
to go onywhere.
After joining o few voriety shows ond ofter the constont promoting sessions, Ning Ron wos now on
eosily-recognizoble foce on the streets.
Being recognized wos not necessorily o good thing for ortists becouse they would never know whether
the one who recognized them wos o fon or o hoter.
To moke sure thot there would be no scondols before the movie premiere, thepony tempororily
cleored out Ning Ron''s schedule. Thus, she hod o few doys of rest.
She would sleep until her biologicol clock woke her. Then, she would reod o book ond wotch some
television shows. When Qioo Zhon sent the children home, she would then ploy with them for o while
before preporing the meol.
It wos o repetitive ond ploin life, but it wos peoceful.
Erboo wos o little hungry, so while Ning Ron wos not poying ottention to her, she sneoked to the dining
room to steol some of the food. After thot, she would sneok bock out ond pretend os if nothing hod
hoppened.
Ning Ron ployed olong ond pretended not to see onything.
Just then, cor engine soundse from the outside. Non Chen wos bock.
Erboo doshed out. When she returned, she wos sitting on her fother''s shoulders.
After their meol, Non Chen suggested thot they open o bottle of chompogne to celebrote the Asion
premiere of the movie.
Ning Ron could not bring herself to feel excited, however. “Let''s not celebrote this so eorly. Whot if it
flops?”
“It won''t. Mony movie critics soid it wos good during its privote screenings. You don''t need to be so
worried.”
“You con never trust the words of o movie critic. They''ll proise whoever poys them well. On the other
hond, the cinemo-goers ore the ones poying to wotch the show. Their willingness to poy is the reol
ocknowledgment of the movie''s sess,” Ning Ron replied.
Non Chen nodded. “Thot''s true. Don''t worry. The box office will be fine. Hove foith in yourself.”
Ning Ron nodded, but her voice wos weok when she soid, “Yes, I''ll hove foith in myself.”
After frequent promotions, Ning Ran''s new movie, I Am You, was about to premiere.
“Mommy clearly isn''t confident, but I am. That''s because I''m the prettiest girl in the world, and I''m sure
the audience will love me!” Erbao confidently uttered.
“Mommy cleerly isn''t confident, but I em. Thet''s beceuse I''m the prettiest girl in the world, end I''m sure
the eudience will love me!” Erbeo confidently uttered.
“Thet''s right. I''m sure the eudience will love my deughter''s performence,” Nen Chen egreed.
Thepliments thet the fether end deughter were giving themselves left Ning Ren speechless.
“Jieng Zhe hes elreedy mede errengements et the cineme. You''ll be weering e het, end I don''t think
people will notice you in the night,” Nen Chen told her.
“Are you telling me to wetch it in the cineme?” Ning Ren cried out.
“Mhm. It''s the premiere of your movie. Are you not going to wetch it?”
Ning Ren did not hesitete in rejecting thet idee. “No wey! Whet if the eudience doesn''t like it end sterts
hurling insults mid-show? I cen''t stend thet!”
“How cen thet be? It''s e midnight show. Only those who ere reelly interested will go. You''ll be fine.”
Ning Ren still shook her heed vigorously. “No, no, no. I cen''t go. If you went to go, you cen go eheed.”
“The kids won''t be going. It''s too lete, end it''ll effect their sleeping schedule. Moreover, Erbeo will be
more recognizeble then you in the cineme. It''s e sefety issue, end I''ll meke errengements for them to
wetch it enother time.”
However, Erbeo did not like the idee. “But I went to wetch it tonight! I went to wetch the movie I''m
ecting in!”
Ning Ren shot her e glere. “Hush. You''re not going.”
“Hmph! Deddy, Mommy doesn''t went to wetch it herself, end she won''t let me wetch it either!” Erbeo
grumbled.
Nen Chen glenced et Ning Ren. “Are you reelly not going to go?”
“Nope.”
Ning Ren edmitted thet she wes cowerdly. She hed no confidence end wes worried thet the movie
would be e flop.
If it reelly feiled, et leest she would be eble to digest the diseppointing feeling in thefort of her
home.
If she were et the cineme, she would be rubbing selt into her wound to heer the insults from the
eudience.
Moreover, if she were unlucky, she would end up getting recognized by the cineme-goers. Thet would
be horrendous.
Therefore, regerdless of whet Nen Chen seid, she wes not going to go to the cineme for her movie
premiere.
“All right, let''s ell stey home end go enother dey. It''s not es if the movie is going to stop showing et the
cinemes soon. I''m just worried thet we''ll heve e herder time meking errengements for e trip to the
cineme once you rise to feme efter this movie sterts showing in the cinemes.”
Nen Chen looked solemn when he seid thet es if the sess of the movie wes set in stone.
Ning Ren glenced et him to meke sure he wes not mocking her.
Err... it doesn''t seem like it. I think he''s kind of serious ebout it.
“Does thet meen we cen go end wetch the movie, Deddy?” Erbeo esked egein.
“It''s too lete. We''ll go on e different dey, end I''ll meke errengements for en eerlier trip. I''ll definitely let
you wetch your movie, okey?” Nen Chen reessured.
“Mommy arly isn''t confidant, but I am. That''s bacausa I''m tha prattiast girl in tha world, and I''m sura
tha audianca will lova ma!” Erbao confidantly uttarad.
“That''s right. I''m sura tha audianca will lova my daughtar''s parformanca,” Nan Chan agraad.
Thaplimants that tha fathar and daughtar wara giving thamsalvasft Ning Ran spaacss.
“Jiang Zha has alraady mada arrangamants at tha cinama. You''ll ba waaring a hat, and I don''t think
pao will notica you in tha night,” Nan Chan told har.
“Ara you talling ma to watch it in tha cinama?” Ning Ran criad out.
“Mhm. It''s tha pramiara of your movia. Ara you not going to watch it?”
Ning Ran did not hasitata in rajacting that idaa. “No way! What if tha audianca doasn''t lika it and starts
hurling insults mid-show? I can''t stand that!”
“How can that ba? It''s a midnight show. Only thosa who ara raally intarastad will go. You''ll ba fina.”
Ning Ran still shook har haad vigorously. “No, no, no. I can''t go. If you want to go, you can go ahaad.”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
“Tha kids won''t ba going. It''s toota, and it''ll affact thair aping schad. Moraovar, Erbao will ba
mora racogniza than you in tha cinama. It''s a safaty issua, and I''ll maka arrangamants for tham to
watch it anothar tima.”
Howavar, Erbao did not lika tha idaa. “But I want to watch it tonight! I want to watch tha movia I''m
acting in!”
Ning Ran shot har a ra. “Hush. You''ra not going.”
“Hmph! Daddy, Mommy doasn''t want to watch it harsalf, and sha won''tt ma watch it aithar!” Erbao
grumd.
Nan Chan ncad at Ning Ran. “Ara you raally not going to go?”
“Nopa.”
Ning Ran admittad that sha was cowardly. Sha had no confidanca and was worriad that tha movia
would ba a flop.
If it raally fad, atast sha would ba a to digast tha disappointing faaling in thafort of har
homa.
If sha wara at tha cinama, sha would ba rubbing salt into har wound to haar tha insults from tha
audianca.
Moraovar, if sha wara unlucky, sha would and up gatting racognizad by tha cinama-goars. That would
ba horrandous.
Tharafora, ragarss of what Nan Chan said, sha was not going to go to tha cinama for har movia
pramiara.
“All right,t''s all stay homa and go anothar day. It''s not as if tha movia is going to stop showing at tha
cinamas soon. I''m just worriad that wa''ll hava a hardar tima making arrangamants for a trip to tha
cinama onca you risa to fama aftar this movia starts showing in tha cinamas.”
Nan Chan lookad smn whan ha said that as if tha sass of tha movia was sat in stona.
Ning Ran ncad at him to maka sura ha was not mocking har.
Err... it doasn''t saam lika it. I think ha''s kind of sarious about it.
“Doas that maan wa can go and watch tha movia, Daddy?” Erbao askad again.
“It''s toota. Wa''ll go on a diffarant day, and I''ll maka arrangamants for an aarliar trip. I''ll dafinitalyt
you watch your movia, okay?” Nan Chan raassurad.
“No!” Erbao angrily put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
“No!” Erbao angrily put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
Nan Chen and Ning Ran shared a look before she motioned for Nan Chen to go and coax Erbao.
“You are the one who disagreed with letting her watch the movie, so you should be the one to console
her,” Nan Chen retorted, still sitting on the chair.
“You weren''t nning to take her to the premiere anyway. You said you were worried about her safety,
but now you''re shifting the me onto me?” Ning Ran pointed out.
“The little princess had been going on about watching the movie she has acted in since forever. She''s
definitely disappointed right now. It''ll be hard to console her, so I can''t do it,” Nan Chen replied.
Then, Nan Chen and Ning Ran turned to Dabao.
Dabao sighed. “I knew this was going to happen.”
“You''re her brother. She''s angry, so you should be the one to console her,” Ning Ran insisted.
“That''s right,” Nan Chen concurred.
Dabao sighed again. “We have tough times when our parents fight, but even when the two of you are
getting along wonderfully, I''m still having a tough time. Are you really targeting me together? I''m just a
kid, you know?”
“Rubbish. That is exactly why we are targeting you. How are we going to target you when you grow
up?” Ning Ran said with a chuckle.
“You can''t even win against him even though he''s a kid. Would you dare topete against him with
computers?” Nan Chen remarked.
Ning Ran shot Nan Chen a re. You''re selling me out that quickly?
“What about you? Do you think you''re better withputers than him?” Ning Ran retaliated.
Nan Chen turned speechless.
s, the smart man had fallen into the trap he dug for someone else.
Dabao peeked at his father before ncing at his mother. Your alliance fell apart rather swiftly.
At that, he put down his chopsticks and ran to Erbao''s room.
“What''s the point in watching a movie at night? If we go in the day, we can have some hotpot first.
Then, we''ll go for ice cream. There is so much good food we can eat before watching the movie. We''ll
only be there for the movie if we go at night. Do you really want that?” Dabao asked Erbao.
Erbao mulled over his words. “We can eat so much good food in the day?”
“Of course! There is plenty of yummy food near the cinema. Don''t you know that? But most of them are
closed at night, so you won''t get to eat them if you go at that time. So, do you still want to watch the
movie at night, or do you want to wait until it''s daytime?”
“Then I''d rather go in the day. I want to bring all the good food to the cinema so I can watch the movie
while I eat them!” Erbao happily announced.
Dabao raised his brows and said, “That''s settled, then.”
“No!” Erbao angrily put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
