Soon, the day of the film shooting arrived. Originally, Mark Chao wanted to accompany Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan to the set. However, Qin Qiao'er thought it might arouse unnecessary speculation, so she didn't let Mark come.
If Mark Chao had shown up on the set, no one knew what a stir it would have caused. To keep a low - key profile, it was enough for Qin Qiao'er to accompany the kids.
As soon as the two little ones, Chenchen and Wanwan, showed up on the set, they caused a flurry of exclamations among the staff.
All the uncles and aunts present covered their chests, looking as if they had been completely charmed. The two kids were simply too cute and extremely polite.
Even the usually serious director couldn't help but put on a kind smile when he saw these two children.
They were playing the roles of a young master and a young lady from the Republic of China era. Qin Chenchen had a slicked - back hairstyle and was dressed in a little vest and a suit, while Qin Wanwan had her hair loosely pulled up and wore a pure white dress.
The two babies were already fair and delicate. After this dressing - up, they won the hearts of everyone on the set.
The shooting in the previous few days had been going very smoothly. The scenes they had rehearsed at home came in handy. Although they were just kids, they had fewer NG times than some professional actors.
After a few days on the set, they had become familiar with every crew member, and everyone loved them very much.
On this day, the assistant director came to brief them on the upcoming shooting scene as usual before the filming started.
"Later, an aunt will come to your house as a guest. But this person's appearance might very well break up your family. So you have to show your dislike for this aunt, but not too obviously."
Just as the assistant director was explaining the scene to them, suddenly someone walked in from outside.
After seeing the person who walked in, the assistant director warmly welcomed her over. "This is the aunt who will act opposite you later. Get to know each other first and rehearse a bit." Then he left.
Qin Qiao'er looked at the person who walked in. She subconsciously stood up and stepped in front of Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan, looking at the person in front of her warily. "Why are you here?"
This person was Song Qianqian.
She had stayed in the United States for a few months and finally managed to beg for a chance from that man to return to China. She had served that man humbly every day just to get a chance to make a comeback.
It seemed that the man still had a great deal of influence, as he was able to get Song Qianqian a supporting role in such a big - budget movie.
The moment Qin Qiao'er saw Song Qianqian, she felt extremely uneasy and wanted to leave immediately. Unexpectedly, Song Qianqian didn't say much but just smiled. "Fancy meeting you again."
Looking at Song Qianqian's smile that didn't reach her eyes, Qin Qiao'er felt a chill run down her spine. She was afraid that Song Qianqian might do something harmful to her children.
Qin Qiao'er didn't want to talk to her any more. She simply turned around and left with the two kids. At this moment, all Qin Qiao'er could think about was to leave this place quickly and avoid any contact with Song Qianqian.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She was extremely flustered and instinctively wanted to call Mark Chao for help.
She didn't know why she thought of Mark Chao first. It was like a conditioned reflex, as if she was sure that Mark could handle this situation for her.
Mark Chao was also very surprised to hear that Song Qianqian had reappeared. He had already warned Song Qianqian not to show up in front of his children again. He didn't know whether her appearance this time was accidental or intentional.
Mark Chao told Qin Qiao'er on the phone to talk to the production company about terminating the contract. Then he hung up and quickly started to investigate why Song Qianqian had reappeared.
After disappearing for a while, she seemed to act as if nothing had happened. Was there some new force supporting her behind the scenes?
After hearing what Mark Chao said, Qin Qiao'er felt like she had a reliable backer. So she planned to take the two kids to talk to the producer about terminating the contract.
After hearing about Qin Qiao'er's plan to terminate the contract, the producer tried to persuade her to stay. "If you terminate the contract now, you'll have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
Moreover, the shooting has been going so smoothly, and their scenes are almost finished. If we have to start over, the progress of the whole crew will be greatly affected."
Qin Qiao'er said firmly, "It doesn't matter. I'll just pay the liquidated damages." The safety of her children was more important than money.
Seeing that he couldn't threaten Qin Qiao'er, the producer found it very difficult to deal with the situation. He definitely didn't want Qin Qiao'er to terminate the contract. He tried another way to persuade her. "I've seen that the two kids seem to like acting these days. Why don't they continue in this field in the future?"
After hearing what the producer said, Qin Qiao'er suddenly realized that she hadn't asked for the opinions of her two little treasures since she got the news and made the decision.
Qin Qiao'er subconsciously glanced at them. As their mother, she could immediately tell what was on their minds.
Although they seemed calm on the surface, Qin Qiao'er knew that they were actually unhappy.
Qin Qiao'er sighed and said to the producer, "I'll think about it."
After talking to the producer, Mark Chao happened to arrive at the set at this time.
Seeing Qin Qiao'er looking very dejected, Mark Chao thought she hadn't managed to solve the contract - termination issue. "What's wrong? Didn't you reach an agreement? If they ask for liquidated damages, I'll pay. Nothing is more important than the safety of the two kids."
All of a sudden, Qin Chenchen, who was usually very obedient and understanding, said, "Dad Mark, I like it here."
Mark Chao squatted down and hugged Qin Chenchen. "Okay, then we'll continue."
Then he stood up and said to Qin Qiao'er, "Don't worry. I won't let Song Qianqian hurt them. I'll stay here with you today to prevent any accidents.
I'll find out as soon as possible why Song Qianqian is here. You just focus on acting well. Leave the rest to me."
