The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 139

Chapter 139

The golden light illuminated everything, making it dazzlingly bright. The heat waves were surging, and the asphalt road on the side of the road was distorted for a moment by the steaming heat.

On the set. Everyone found a shady spot and sat down to watch the little actor and the female lead go through their scene. Shen Tiantian was wearing the black bib jeans from the drama, with round-toed Crocs, and a beige baseball cap on his head, worn backwards.

His face was fair and soft. He gently held “Mommy’s” hand, his little eyes filled with joy. The actress playing Shen Tiantian’s mother was a somewhat famous celebrity. She had a pure and sweet appearance and had gained a lot of fans from idol dramas.

The two of them were going through their scene. Tiantian “suddenly” tripped over a stone and rolled on the ground with an “ouch.” The female lead immediately showed an anxious expression. But for some reason, her acting, in contrast to Shen Tiantian’s, seemed particularly exaggerated.

“Are you okay! Baby, don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy will blow on it and it won’t hurt anymore.” To express her flustered and anxious expression, the female lead’s eyes even welled up with tears, on the verge of falling.

Jiang Xiaojiang, played by Tiantian, was a simple and cute child, and there were no special emotions to pay attention to. “I’m fine, Mommy. It doesn’t hurt at all.” His eyes curved into a sparkling little crescent moon. He reached out and, in turn, comforted his sad mother.

The director sat behind the screen, and the teacup in his hand was trembling. To be honest, the female lead, influenced by her previous idol dramas, knew that her crying scenes were the most beautiful and pitiful, which led her to show off her “exquisite” crying scenes from time to time when filming.

This made Shen Tiantian’s acting seem even more natural.

It’s just a fall. There’s no need to escalate it to the point of crying in pain!

But it was an idol drama, and as long as the acting was passable, there was no need to be too picky.

So the director shouted, “Cut.”

“This scene is over! The female lead and Jiang Xiaojiang, get ready. The next scene is where you meet the male lead!”

As a little protagonist, Tiantian’s role in this drama had risen sharply. It was much better than the situation before, where he had to wait for a day or two. The camera was also pushed over at this time.

Tiantian quickly adjusted his emotions, held “Mommy’s” hand, and came to a bench on the side of the street to sit down. The female lead’s eye sockets were red. She touched her son’s little head and took a deep breath.

“Baby, you wait for Mommy here. I’ll go to the store to borrow some ice to put on your wound.” Tiantian’s knee had been applied with special effects makeup in advance, and it looked red, swollen, and bruised.

He had fallen miserably, but his eye sockets were only slightly red, and he nodded obediently. “Okay, I’ll wait for Mommy.”

As soon as the female lead left, the overbearing CEO male lead, who had met the little one once, drove by and stopped on the side of the road. “Kid, what’s wrong with your leg?”

The male lead’s buffs in the drama were full. He was rich, handsome, had an outstanding family background, and was cold and distant. He was a standard idol drama male lead. But like the female lead, the actor playing the male lead was used to playing all kinds of overbearing CEOs, which resulted in an inexplicable greasy feeling.

The director watched this scene of the male lead and Jiang Xiaojiang, and his hands started to tremble again.

What the hell are these two adults acting?! One is more abstract than the other!

Especially when the female lead and the male lead were arguing because of Jiang Xiaojiang’s leg injury, Shen Tiantian directly contributed a crushing performance. His round, grape-like eyes seemed to be able to speak. He was caught between the adults, dazed and confused. He limped to his mother’s side and hugged her arm worriedly.

The male and female leads were arguing in a mess, their emotions fluctuating between excitement and depression. It was impossible to set a main emotional point. Only Shen Tiantian was not affected throughout and managed to establish Jiang Xiaojiang’s cute and protective character.

He was well-behaved and cute, which made one’s heart itch. The director watched this scene and sighed softly. He had given Zheng Wei a favor before and had let her put a little actor in the film crew.

As a result, the little actor directly crushed the two adults in his acting. Using this kind of acting in an idol drama was simply a dimensional reduction strike. “Cut! This scene is over!”

The director turned a blind eye and couldn’t be bothered to say more to these two male and female leads. How could the talent of acting be explained in just a sentence or two? The two male and female leads were also the type to get arrogant with a little traffic.

As soon as they finished filming, they put on a cold expression, didn’t even ask how they had acted, and were directly escorted to their nanny van by their assistants. Tiantian, on the other hand, bounced over and called out in a sweet and soft voice: “Director uncle, am I still wearing this outfit for the next scene?”

The director had no resistance to a little sweet bean like Shen Tiantian. He couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips, and his voice softened. “You don’t have to wear a hat for the next scene. It’s an indoor scene. It would be best to wear another coat.”

Tiantian hummed twice, was led back to the car by the college student assistant, Little Zhou, and continued to memorize his lines. Little Zhou had a crossbody bag on his chest. He took out some wet wipes from it and wiped the sweat from Shen Tiantian’s little forehead.

“It’s really hard. You have to act under the hot sun.”

Tiantian looked at his script and read the lines in a milky voice. He was one of the protagonists in this drama. He had to memorize two or three pages of lines a day! Little Zhou, this assistant, also played his biggest role.

He acted as Shen Tiantian’s human reading machine.

“Little brother Zhou, what is this word?”

“What about this one? Such a strange word.” Little Zhou’s superiority as a college student gradually showed, and he would read wherever Tiantian didn’t know.

After memorizing the lines for this afternoon’s filming, Tiantian was blissfully eating his lunch when he was suddenly notified that the afternoon’s scene was not going to be filmed. Tiantian scratched his little head, his watery eyes full of incomprehension. “Why?”

The staff member seemed a little helpless and pointed to the nanny van over there. “The male lead’s side said that the lines are too long and he can’t memorize them, so it’s been postponed to tomorrow.”

Little Zhou folded his arms in anger: “Our Tiantian is so young, and he’s already memorized his lines. How can he, a grown-up, not remember his lines?”

It was the same two days ago. It was either the female lead who awkwardly forgot her lines, or the male lead whose eyes were dazed, or the two of them who had forgotten their positions at the same time. When the two of them acted, it was simply one more absurd than the other.

Shen Tiantian was caught in the middle. That scene had been filmed six or seven times in a row, but his emotions and lines had not been wrong once. Hearing this, the staff member also sighed. “There’s nothing we can do. Who made him popular? We don’t want to postpone it either. We have to work overtime to set up the scene for them.”

The afternoon’s scene was ruined. Tiantian had an extra half a day of free time and went to the city’s suburban aquarium with his little brother Zhou. This city’s aquarium was very famous. The azure seawater was dreamlike and deep, and the swimming fish were colorful, forming a fantastic and magnificent underwater world.

It was surrounded by transparent glass, and you could even see a mermaid’s older sister performing inside. Tiantian happily held his phone and live-streamed the mermaid here to Shen Jinfeng on the other end.

“Big brother, look, look! There are little mermaids in this world! Look!” The little mermaid’s older sister slowly approached the glass from the water, gently pressed her face and hand on the glass, and made eye contact with Tiantian, who was standing in front of her.

Tiantian let out a gasp, his eyes as wide as little light bulbs. “The little mermaid came to play with me!” His excited little milky voice directly cracked.

Shen Jinfeng was still in his studio, evaluating an investment project. He heard Shen Tiantian’s shouting and said speechlessly: “Shen Tiantian, these little mermaids are all played by staff members.”

A single sentence directly shattered Shen Tiantian’s fairy tale dream. “You… you’re talking nonsense!”

The little mermaid is right in front of him! And she even rubbed against him!

The devastated Tiantian hung up the phone and turned to harass his big brother. “Big brother, look what this is. A little mermaid! Second brother even said it’s fake. He must have never seen it and thinks Tiantian is lying to him.”

Tiantian let out a soft hmph and put his little hands on his hips. “Second brother is like that. He doesn’t trust Tiantian.”

Shen Xiuze had just come down from a meeting, in a suit and tie, his features cold and stern. He lifted his eyes, looked at the performing mermaid, hummed in acknowledgment, and did not comment. “Why didn’t you act this afternoon?”

Tiantian spread his small hands and said with a troubled expression: “The big brother on the set is too stupid. He always makes mistakes when he acts and can’t remember his lines. My scene this afternoon has been postponed to tomorrow.”

Shen Xiuze had not had much contact with the entertainment industry. But he had a little actor at home, so Shen Xiuze thought that the average level in the industry was at least like Shen Tiantian’s. Shen Xiuze’s cold eyes narrowed, his fingers tapped on the table, and he let out a scoff.

“He can’t even remember his lines? Does he not want to be an actor anymore?”

The assistant, Little Zhou, who had been exposed to a corner of the entertainment industry, was listening on the side and had a feeling that something was about to happen. Sure enough, after watching the mermaid show, Little Zhou received a notification from the director on his phone.

“Hello? Little Zhou, bring Tiantian back.”

Little Zhou tentatively asked: “Isn’t it that the male lead can’t remember his lines and it’s been postponed to tomorrow?”

The director’s words were vague but also carried a hint of gloating. “Who knows? The male lead suddenly came over to apologize and said that he would definitely not hold everyone back in the future.”

Little Zhou scratched his head.

Did the male lead accidentally offend some big shot? That’s so satisfying! This male lead has a bad temper. If he says he’s not acting, he’s not acting. The other little actors on the set have had to put up with him a lot.

Tiantian, who could act again, didn’t think too much about it. He waved at the little mermaid’s older sister and happily got into the car to go back. In the film crew, the male lead and his assistant were distributing milk tea and afternoon tea snacks.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was all my fault for holding everyone back before. It will definitely not happen again in the future!” The male lead’s expression was quite sincere. The other little actors’ fame was too small, and their faces were all smiling as they said it was fine.

Only the female lead folded her arms, looked at the male lead’s attentive actions from the car window, and let out a “che.” “Who is he putting on a show for?”

Her agent, on the other hand, felt that something was amiss and couldn’t help but frown. “You should also restrain yourself a little lately. Qi Huan’s agent is very capable, but now even he has to tuck his tail between his legs. It’s clear that the wind is not blowing in the right direction.”

The female lead couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart. She rubbed her arms and said: “Then what should I do?”

The agent let out a cold hmph and pointed to Shen Tiantian, who had just returned. “I told you to get along with this little young master, but you were too proud and unwilling to go. What can I do now?”
