Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 906: Nine hundred and four, Director
Chapter 906: Nine hundred and four, Director
"Okay, please go to the counter to buy the tickets first," the server pointed to the nearby counter and said.
Luo Shu responded and stood up, carrying little sister to the counter.
Lin Helian wanted to follow, but noticing new customers entering through the door, she had to step back reluctantly and sit down. The wonton shop was doing good business, with only two empty tables left when they arrived. If she left now, those new customers would definitely take their spot. Originally, she planned to cover today’s dining expenses, but now Luo Shu had beaten her to it.
Luo Shu bought the tickets, handed them to the server, and then returned to their seat.
Lin Helian gave Luo Shu a playful look and said, "Once we get to the cinema, you can’t rush to pay again." They didn’t need to pay for the movie tickets anymore, but they should still buy some snacks to enhance the movie-watching experience. Of course, she only knew this from what her colleagues had told her; she had never been to a movie before.
"By the way, what will the babies eat?" Seeing little brother in her arms, Lin Helian suddenly remembered that both babies were only five months old, which is not suitable for eating those things.
Luo Shu took out two baby bottles from her bag, handed one to little sister, and gave the other to little brother.
Little brother took the bottle and started gulping down the milk voraciously. His food-loving nature was fully displayed!
Little sister looked at her brother speechlessly, picked up her bottle and started drinking, "Brother, mind your manners or you won’t get a wife in the future," she communicated telepathically.
Little brother glanced at little sister, "I’m a man, I should eat heartily. Besides, dad also eats heartily and yet, he still married mom, right, mom?"
Little brother turned to Luo Shu, trying to flatter her.
"I despise you!" Little sister rolled her eyes at her brother.
"These two little ones have such a good relationship, drinking milk but still constantly looking at each other," Lin Helian noticed the interaction between the babies and said with a smile.
Luo Shu smiled and nodded. If only you knew what they were actually talking about, you wouldn’t think so.
At that moment, two bowls of wontons were served. The wontons had thin skins and ample stuffing, with some bok choy and seaweed as side ingredients, making them very appetizing at first glance.
Lin Helian scooped up a wonton with a spoon, blew on it and put it in her mouth, "This tastes really good, both fresh and fragrant." If it were in the past, she wouldn’t have had such delicious food.
"Hmm," Luo Shu nodded in agreement. She too had been to Jiangzhou in her previous life and had come to this time-honored store to eat wontons. Although the facade was a lot more impressive back then, the wontons were not as delicious as they are now. She wondered if it was because there were too many options now, or for some other reason.
Lin Helian swallowed the wonton in her mouth, looked at the two babies drinking milk, "Luo Shu, I find that these two children of yours are really well-behaved. So far, I haven’t heard them cry even once." The child from the Guo Li family upstairs just loves to cry, especially at night, making her unable to sleep.
"Everyone says so," Luo Shu could only respond. Who would know that her babies weren’t ordinary at all. freёwebnoѵel.com
The two chatted while eating, and perhaps because it was mealtime, more and more customers started filling up the restaurant.
Luo Shu put down her chopsticks and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. She had tissue in her space, but tissues weren’t available in this era yet.
Looking at the two babies, seeing that the milk in their bottles was almost finished, she took the bottles and put them away.
"These two babies are so adorable!" a voice with the accent of Pearl Island City came through.
Luo Shu and Lin Helian turned around, only to see a middle-aged man in a suit with slightly thinning hair, who had already approached their table.
"Hello! I am Zhang Baoquan, a director from Yahe Entertainment, currently filming in Jiangzhou. There happens to be a need for two child actors just like these babies in the movie. I wonder if you would allow the babies to act in it? Of course, the pay is quite generous, twenty yuan per episode." Zhang Baoquan looked at Luo Shu and company with a smile, waiting for their surprised expressions.
Lin Helian was startled by the fee, and looked towards Luo Shu. Twenty yuan per episode was indeed not a low price, but it depended on Luo Shu’s opinion.
"Sorry! Not interested!" Luo Shu rejected with a calm voice.
"Please reconsider, such a fee is quite substantial." Zhang Baoquan, unwilling to give up, continued to persuade. If it weren’t for the fact that these babies were so suitable for the roles, he would have left upon rejection. She might not be willing, but there are plenty of people who would be.
"No need to consider." Luo Shu immediately refused again without hesitation.
Zhang Baoquan, having been rejected by Luo Shu twice, felt his mood sour and no longer asked for Luo Shu’s opinion, turning around and walking back to his own seat. If she didn’t want to, then so be it! He didn’t care!
"Director, they don’t want to?" Seeing Zhang Baoquan sit down, a middle-aged woman across from him asked. The restaurant was noisy with many people, but even if she couldn’t hear clearly, she could tell from their actions that they had rejected Zhang Baoquan. This outcome surprised her.
"Hmph!" Zhang Baoquan snorted coldly, feeling even angrier.
"Director, don’t be angry, if they don’t want to, we can find someone else, there are plenty willing." a young man wearing black-framed glasses advised.
"Yes, director! It’s not worth getting upset over them."
"Could it be that they think the money is too little, and that’s why they’re unwilling?"
"Twenty yuan per episode is already quite a lot, even we professional actors only get one hundred yuan per episode."
"But those two babies really are cute, their eyes look as if they can talk."
"If not for that, why would it be worth twenty yuan?"
The more Zhang Baoquan listened, the darker his expression became. Seeing that the wontons they ordered had arrived, he said sternly to everyone, "Ignore them, let’s eat!" His mood was completely ruined.
Luo Shu saw Lin Helian put down her chopsticks, "Let’s go."
Lin Helian nodded, glancing at Zhang Baoquan’s table, who were still watching them, "They’ve been looking over here all the time, they probably haven’t given up."
"Let’s go!" Luo Shu stood up. If she really wanted to act, she could do so at Starlight Entertainment, why bother looking elsewhere.
"Director, they are leaving, should I go talk to them again?" the young man with black-framed glasses said. If they left, there really would be no chance. Finding children like those two wouldn’t be easy.
Zhang Baoquan thought for a moment, "The fee can be raised to thirty yuan." He had been wrestling with this internally. As a director, he was extremely confident in his ability to spot the right actors. Whether a movie is good largely depends on the casting; with the right actors, even a poor script can reveal its essence through their performance, captivating people with their acting skills.
