Chapter 120 Meeting with Director Zhang
The next day, Su Qin was eating breakfast listlessly. As usual, she and Jin's mother were the only ones at home. Jin's mother was busy chatting with her friends on the phone. They somehow talked about the hot search last night. While chatting, Jin's mother looked at Su Qin from time to time, with suspicion and disdain in her eyes.
Suddenly, Jin's mother raised her voice and argued loudly: "How is it possible? Our Yanyan is a well-educated child. How is it possible for a girl to get pregnant before marriage?" The two hung up the phone without saying a few words.
Jin's mother stood up angrily, walked to the dining table, and asked condescendingly: "Did you leak the information to the paparazzi?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Su Qin was confused. She hadn't blamed her for disturbing her and Jin Yan's good time yesterday so early in the morning, but she started to blame her first.
Seeing that Su Qin's expression didn't seem fake, Jin's mother softened her tone, "Didn't you check Weibo today? Last night a paparazzi said 'female celebrity is about to marry into a wealthy family because of her son', and someone hinted that it was you and Yanyan. Did you collude with the paparazzi to force our family to marry you?"
Su Qin sneered, "Mom, didn't Jin Yan and Dad say they would recognize me and the baby in my belly? I'm not stupid enough to make myself unhappy. I don't want to eat anymore. I have no appetite." After saying that, Su Qin slammed the spoon in her hand into the bowl and left the restaurant.
When she reached a place where Jin's mother couldn't see her, Su Qin felt relieved. Her back was already wet with cold sweat. When she heard Jin's mother's words, her first reaction was to think of Fan Qinyao. She quickly opened Weibo and found the hot search.
In the afternoon, Su Qin found an excuse to go to the hospital for a check-up and slipped out to meet Fan Qinyao. Although Fan Qinyao had been denying the matter on WeChat, Su Qin felt that she could only feel at ease if she asked clearly in person.
Su Mo arrived at the restaurant early as agreed with Zhang Zhang, but he didn't expect that Director Zhang and another very cute girl were already in the private room.
"Momo is here. Come and sit here." Director Zhang greeted.
"Director Zhang, you guys are here so early. I thought I would be here first." Su Mo took his seat and looked at the girl in front of him. He found that the girl was also looking at him with sparkling eyes. Su Mo showed a kind smile.
Director Zhang looked at the two people who completely ignored him, but he didn't get angry. He took the initiative to introduce them, "Momo, this is the screenwriter of our movie, Zhang Mi."
"Hello, I'm Su Mo." Su Mo stretched out his hand.
Zhang Mi couldn't contain her love and rushed to Su Mo's side. "Great, I finally get to meet Momo. Ahhh, I'm so happy."
Su Mo looked at the enthusiastic and clingy Zhang Mi, and didn't know what to do for a moment. She looked at Zhang Zhang as if asking for help.
Zhang Zhang spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
Zhang Mi didn't notice the eye contact between Su Mo and Zhang Zhang at all. "Momo, do you know when I started to like you?"
Before Su Mo could answer, Zhang Mi answered herself, "You will never guess, I have liked you since your first talk show. I am also the vice president of your fan club. Humph, it's all because of my father not giving me money, otherwise I would definitely be able to replace the president."
The first time Su Mo heard about his fan club, he suddenly felt that the nagging girl in front of him had become a lot friendlier. He didn't mind her rubbing his shoulder from time to time. He listened to her patiently and agreed with her when appropriate.
"Ahem." Zhang Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and coughed, "Xiao Miya, let's talk business first. Momo's time is also very precious."
Zhang Mi heard Zhang Zhang's words and sat up reluctantly, "No wonder my aunt said you have no interest. I think my aunt is right."
Zhang Zhang blushed and said awkwardly, "This is my relative's child. But I really have no selfish motives. When our team was selecting scripts, we thought this one was suitable. When we contacted them, we found out that the screenwriter was actually Xiao Mi."
"Xiao Mi, can I call you the same as Director Zhang?" Su Mo asked with a smile, tilting his head.
Zhang Mi nodded frantically, "Yeah, yeah, Sister Momo~"
"I heard Director Zhang say that he thinks this role is very suitable for me, so what is the theme of this movie?"
Zhang Mi put away her previous cheerfulness, sat up straight, and said seriously: "This is a story about cyberbullying. The heroine is called Jian Jie. She is a strong woman. Others think she is successful at work and has a happy family. In fact, it is not the case. Her husband has been having an affair with a mistress behind her back. On this day, Jian Jie went to the hospital for a physical examination and accidentally ran into her husband accompanying his mistress for a prenatal checkup in the hospital. Because of the exclusion by her superiors, the driver was deliberately asked to pick up someone else, resulting in the inability to send her to meet the client on time. Jian Jie was already in a bad mood, and as a result, she was splashed with paint by a child on the road, so she and the child's parents quarreled on the road because of different opinions. Someone took this video and posted it online, which triggered heated discussions among netizens and gradually evolved into an incident of cyberbullying."
"How did you think of writing such a story?" Su Mo looked at the still young Zhang Mi, unable to connect her with such a serious and heavy story.
Zhang Mi seemed to recall some past events, with regret in her eyes. "I had a very good friend in college. She was a girl who loved life very much. She liked to help stray cats and dogs. But because some people took random photos and said nonsense, netizens who didn't know the truth bombarded her, saying that she was hypocritical and had no love, and also exposed her home address and work. That year she lost her job and her boyfriend who was about to get married. Later, her family took her to immigrate abroad, and we never contacted each other again."
"Alas, this is the society we live in now. You have experienced it too." Director Zhang sighed.
Su Mo also fell silent. Isn't this the situation they are in now? Because of a few words or some edited pictures, it is possible to trigger a cyber violence incident. Netizens use keyboards as swords to stab innocent people. She remembered that not long after she came here, an actress was slandered and finally jumped off a building to prove her innocence. Although netizens apologized one after another and the police found out the truth, the dead cannot be resurrected.
Su Mo suddenly felt that this was a very positive script and immediately decided to participate. "When will the filming start?"
Zhang Mi looked at Zhang Zhang, and Zhang Zhang roughly estimated, "If you are sure to participate, we can start shooting next month. We will try to finish shooting in two months, and then enter the post-production stage, and strive to release it in December."
"Have you found other actors?" Su Mo asked with concern.
Su Mo is very clear that he does not have the ability to carry the box office at the moment. If there is no one to carry the box office, the effect of the dissemination will be greatly reduced.
