Chapter 337: Giving up on the Career That''s Going so Well
Lu Che finally understood...
He looked at the two men in the office; those who understood PR were indeed different!
...
Early February, the Autumn/Winter Fashion Week officially started. As like earlier, Tangning still did
not make an appearance. Fans began to believe that their suspicions were correct: Tangning must
be filming ''Stupid''. They thought she must have changed career paths.
However, the studio restricted fans from visiting the set. So, the other actors in the movie,
unfortunately, had to put up with questions about the female lead wherever they went - especially
Lin Sheng. Whether he was filming other movies or attending interviews, the reporters would ask
him if the female lead was Tangning. This was because they all knew Lin Sheng didn''t like lying.
They also knew, when epting jobs, apart from considering the script, Lin Sheng also cared about
who he''d be acting with.
If any of the other actors couldn''t act, there was no way he''d ept it.
But, this time...
...howe he didn''t say anything?
"Today, our top actor Lin Sheng is here with us at the New Movie Festival. As we all know, Lin
Sheng is currently in the process of filming ''Stupid''. Regarding ''Stupid'' and their recent female lead
recement,izens have been predicting that the new lead is none other than the model that''s
been missing from Fashion Week, Tangning. I wonder what our top actor thinks of this prediction."
"Would Sheng Ge mind sharing a bit of information regarding the female lead?"
"Sheng Ge, say a few words."
Lin Sheng had just finished presenting an award and was surrounded as soon as he left the stage.
As a sign of respect, he stopped in his track and looked at the cameras, "Regarding the female
lead, I unfortunately, have nothing to say."
"Is it Tangning?"
"Who is it?"

Lin Sheng suddenly thought about Tangning. After spending almost 2 weeks with her, he couldn''t
deny that his opinion had changed. Although she was a rookie in terms of acting, she did not take
on ''Stupid'' because she overestimated herself. She was actually well aware of her capabilities.
Plus, when filming, she was never arrogant nor did shein. The only thing he felt she could
improve on was the fact that she''d ask to refilm parts that the Director had already approved.
Her attitude towards producing a good film was even more serious than him.
A female artist like this, made it impossible for him to point out any ws. Even though he had once
disliked Tangning, in his heart, he now considered Tangning as his student. Above all, she wasn''t
stupid...
...in fact, she was very smart.
So, when looking at the cameras, Lin Sheng had the urge to throw words of praise. He didn''t
understand why he felt this way.
In the end, Lin Sheng awoke from his daze and finally replied, "Sorry, I''ve signed a confidentiality
agreement. You will need to wait for an official response instead."
"However, I have said many times before that I don''t act with those that can''t act."
His words meant one of two things: either the female lead wasn''t Tangning or that Tangning knew
how to act.
But, as a model, Tangning had never appeared in any films. To suddenly be able to act...it didn''t
seem possible. So the media made the assumption that Lin Sheng was trying to hint that the female
lead wasn''t Tangning.
Lin Sheng''s fans immediately patted their chests and let out a sigh of relief, "Aiyo, I was so afraid
the model would drag our Sheng Sheng down. After what Sheng Sheng said, I feel a lot more at
ease."
"Our Sheng Sheng is a top ss actor. Please don''t mention him in the same sentence as the
model; they are on a different level."
"We should trust in Sheng Ge and look forward to the film."
''Stupid'' was a hot topic within the film industry. This was because, from the moment they started
filming, they had already been surrounded by an air of mystery. On top of that, Mo Ting was well-
skilled in PR, so the set of ''Stupid'' waspletely off-limits to the public. During filming, even a fly
wouldn''t be able to get in, let alone a human.
After returning to set, Lin Sheng took advantage of his spare time to show Tangning some of the
comments online. However, as she looked at the insults, Tangning simply smiled, "If it was me, I''d
probably throw even harsher insults!"
"It seems, you never step out to exin yourself," Lin Sheng retrieved his phone and looked at
Tangning.
"Words can be said by anyone, but only actions can truly convince others. Plus, I don''t want my life
to be soplicated, so fame and fortune isn''t something I care about. I simply want to be
responsible towards the person I care about and responsible for the things I like to do," Tangning
smiled. "If there is one thing I care about, itis to make everyone satisfied."
Lin Sheng slightly smiled and gave her a rarely seen praise, "You''vepletely seen through this
industry and are clear about what you want."
"Thank you Sheng Ge, for your guidance in acting."
"I know it won''t be possible in this film...but in your next film, I would love to act alongside you. To
act out a scene with such a serious actress would definitely be interesting," Lin Sheng eximed.
Afterwards, he stood up from his seat; the filming for another scene was about to start.
Tangning watched as Lin Sheng filmed his part. However, there was one thing she did not tell him:
the reason why she was trying so hard was because ''Stupid'' was the result of Mo Ting''s blood and
sweat.
The love she had for Mo Ting had already gotten to the stage where she''d pursue film in order to
protect him...
It was currently the beginning of February and her parts were expected to bepleted by the end
of the month.
In reality, a few hundred scenes could bepleted in 10 or so days by some actors, but because
Tangning was rtively serious, many scenes went through multiple takes.
During her spare time, Tangning received a phone call from Huo Jingjing, "What''s up with you? Why
aren''t you at Fashion Week? This is the biggest opportunity for the advancement of your career."
"I won''t be attending this year..." Tangning replied.
"Could it be that you have actually gone into acting?"
"Yep, I''m acting," Tangning confirmed without the slightest bit of hesitation.
"Do you know how many neers have appeared at this season''s Fashion Week? How could
you run off to start all over again in another industry? Let me tell you now, if your film flops, I''m not
going tofort you," Huo Jingjing warned harshly.
It wasn''t easy for Tangning to get to where she was in the modeling industry and Fashion Week was
the most important chance for her to increase her value. Yet, she gave up on it, just like that...How
was she to make up for all the suffering and humiliation she had gone through?
"Why must you take part in this film? Can you tell me the reason? Don''t tell me you did it just
because President Mo told you to..."
"..."
"Don''t tell me I''m right?" Huo Jingjing understood what Tangning''s silence meant. After a few
minutes, she asked, "Although I don''t know why you must give up on the career that''s going so well
to support him. If he does anything bad to you, I will..."
Tangning giggled...
"You''reughing? How could you beughing at a time like this? Who''s to say, after Fashion Week,
how many people will still remember your name. Don''t tell me you don''t know what you''ve given up
on."
"Don''t you feel the slightest bit of regret?"
"Feng Ge is getting married soon. When Ie back to attend his wedding, I wille give you a
proper interrogation!"
