Chapter 69 - The Film Contract
It had never occurred to Du Juan that Li Qingcang would say that.
“I understand what you mean,” she acknowledged. “I will revise the contract.”
Li Qingcang nodded in satisfaction. He clearly knew that Tianxin wanted to be part of this movie because she did not have the money to pay for her grandmother’s medical bills and treatment.
But he did not want Tianxin to really be involved in the entertainment industry.
The entertainment circle was really not suitable for Tianxin.
When it came to Tianxin’s personality, she liked to be in the limelight.
Despite everything, Tianxin would still want to live a peaceful life.
“Thank you.”
Having said his piece, Li Qingcang then sat back down.
Du Juan handed the script she was holding in her hand to Ye Tianxin.
“I’ve been working on this script for a very long time. Jin Xin has always wanted to film this movie, but I have never been able to find the best fit for the role of the female lead, which is why I have never agreed to him producing this movie. Originally, I was thinking that if I never get to find a suitable female lead, I would rather not produce this movie. I don’t want to shoot a terrible film that will ruin the story I hold dear to my heart either. Tianxin, you are the perfect candidate for the female lead I have in mind. Take a look at the script first. Jin Xin has already started preparations. When everything is ready, we can also shoot other people’s scenes first, and your scenes can wait until the college entrance exams are over before we commence shooting.”
This arrangement was the best.
Ye Tianxin was really grateful for it.
If Du Juan had not lent a helping hand, she would not have had such courage and confidence to fight back against Lu Jijun and his daughter when they came.
“Mother, thank you.”
Du Juan caressed Ye Tianxin’s braided hair lovingly and said, “Between you and me, is there a need to stand on ceremony? When you get into Capital University, Mother will give you a present!”
“Okay!” Ye Tianxin replied sweetly.
Because she was going to make a movie, Du Juan would also have her hands full with so many things to do. She could not possibly watch over Grandmother for Ye Tianxin.
She said, “Tianxin, take care of Grandmother first. There is no rush for anything else.”
“Alright. I got it,” Ye Tianxin replied.
Du Juan then said to Grandmother, “Grandmother, Tianxin is a good girl. Don’t worry, I will take good care of Tianxin. Also, Mr. Li, Tianxin has a bright future ahead of her.”
Grandmother was grinning from ear to ear. She was not afraid of death.
The only thing she was afraid of was that Tianxin would be left alone to live in this world.
Now that she saw hoe good Li Qingcang and Du Juan were to Ye Tianxin, suddenly, she realized that there was no longer anything to fear…
Ye Tianxin escorted Du Juan out of the hospital ward with Du Juan holding Ye Tianxin’s hand. It was pretty obvious that though the two of them had not spent more than several days together, in her heart, Du Juan genuinely thought of Ye Tianxin as her daughter.
“Tianxin, that friend of yours is quite a good person.”
“Godmother, I saved his life. When we were in the Town of Jiameng, he got injured. I was the one who donated blood to save him. So now, it’s sort of like he is repaying the favor.”
Du Juan smiled. However, she was wondering if it was possible for a man and a woman to be together yet not be in a relationship.
She was quite reluctant to ask. She didn’t want to be intrusive.
It was better for the two of them to get along with each other naturally.
She didn’t want to ask questions that would put Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang in an awkward situation.
“Study hard. There is nothing to get anxious about over matters with respect to acting. I will send the card over to you tomorrow. Pay back all the money that you’ve borrowed first.”
Ye Tianxin nodded. Once the contract was signed, she would be able to get an advance payment.
And the first person she wanted to pay back was Li Qingcang. She owed him a lot.
“Mother…”
“I know what you are going to say. You don’t have to be so formal with me. Have you ever seen a mother and daughter standing on ceremony with each other? Tianxin, I think of you as my daughter. It is a consolation for me. Let’s do away with all the formalities between us, okay?”
