The Profligate Madam of the Family

Chapter 49: Becoming the Favorite of the Crew

The experienced actors in the industry didn’t like those who wore masks, nor did they like those pretty actresses who relied on their looks and unspeakable means to get the lead role.

Leng Rongrong was innocent, cute, and genuine. She had no mask on her face, and her acting skills were good. She was completely different from those young flower vases.

Therefore, all the old actors who had been invited liked Leng Rongrong very much.

With Jin Mingfeng as the host and Little Nanyu’s flattery, everyone liked Leng Rongrong more and more.

A few of the older ones started to chat about Go, Chinese chess, and so on. Leng Rongrong also joined in.

The middle-aged men started to talk about painting and calligraphy. When they talked about a painting by a famous Chinese traditional painting master, Leng Rongrong gave a round of comments. Her comments were very standard, and she even said that she had collected this artist’s paintings.

This immediately piqued the interest of the middle-aged actors.

They wouldn’t have known if they didn’t talk, but after they did, they realized that Leng Rongrong was very insightful and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She could chat about anything with people, and she was also very good at it.

Towards the end of the meal, everyone could not help but nod and praise Leng Rongrong.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an interesting young actor!”

“Rongrong, this child is truly amazing. Rongrong, next time, remember to let me see the paintings in your collection!”

“Mr. Jin, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known this interesting girl!”

...

“Teachers, thank you for liking the meeting with my team. If you like Rongrong, then I’ll be sure to give her a hand in the future!” Jin Mingfeng spoke up for Leng Rongrong.

The teachers did not mind, and they all expressed that they would surely look for Leng Rongrong if they had the opportunity and resources.

After that day, Leng Rongrong got along very well with the seniors in the crew.

In an instant, she became the favorite of the crew. Whenever there were scenes with the seniors when they were not filming, everyone would always be around Leng Rongrong.

Some of them wanted Leng Rongrong to talk about artists. Some wanted Leng Rongrong to write a piece of calligraphy for him, and some wanted her to practice Tai Chi with them.

With that, Leng Rongrong felt even more tired when she was resting than when she was filming.

However, these senior actors and movie kings were all very interesting people.

These were all actors who could be called true artists. They all had deep self-restraint, so Leng Rongrong respected them very much and also learned a lot from them.

Leng Qingqing had originally wanted to cause Leng Rongrong trouble.

However, when she saw Leng Rongrong being doted on by the entire crew and surrounded by many people at all times, she didn’t even have the chance to make a move.

Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye. Leng Qingqing was mad with anger.

Even if there were new or old actors in the crew, they would first look for Leng Rongrong when they heard the news.

As for herself, although she had been in the industry for a long time and she knew many of these seniors and had even acted with them, no one had greeted her. Even if she went to greet them, those seniors would be cold to her.

However, when it came to Leng Rongrong’s side, they were not quite the same. Each one of them was smiling as happily as a child.

On this day, another veteran actor came to the production team for a cameo role in a scene.

This veteran actor had won the Best Actor Award before and was also a very famous artist. He was the disciple of a Chinese art master and had acted in several famous roles.

He was almost 70 years old. Although he was old, he had a good personality and was very lively, just like a child.

This veteran actor was called Li Jinshu, and he was a Film Emperor who was both virtuous and skilled.

Leng Qingqing and Li Jinshu had acted together in a movie before. Although they did not have many scenes together, they had seen each other a few times.

Hence, when she saw Li Jinshu, Leng Qingqing was extremely excited and happy. She finally met an old senior whom she was closer to. She was finally not left out!

Leng Rongrong, who do you think those old men you met before were?

Who could compare to Senior Li Jinshu!

The moment she saw Li Jinshu, Leng Qingqing went up to him. “Teacher Li, long time no see. How have you been?”

“It’s pretty good.” Li Jinshu glanced at Leng Qingqing. He could not remember who she was, so he smiled kindly and nodded politely.

“Teacher Li, shall I take you to the director? I’m truly honored to be able to work with you again,” Leng Qingqing said enthusiastically.

“Alright,” he said. Li Jinshu nodded.

Seeing Director Wang, Li Jinshu immediately shook hands with him and then chatted with him for a while.

Leng Qingqing wanted to interject several times, but she couldn’t, so she just stood there embarrassedly.

Just then, Leng Rongrong passed by, and Director Wang immediately shouted, “Rongrong, come here. I’ll introduce you to someone.”

Leng Qingqing was speechless.

She had brought Teacher Li over, but Director Wang did not introduce her and directly called Leng Rongrong over to introduce her instead?

Leng Rongrong walked to the front and looked at Li Jinshu. She smiled and said, “Hello.”

After speaking, Leng Rongrong looked at Director Wang and asked in a low voice, “Director Wang, who is this?”

“Li Jinshu, Teacher Li, don’t you know him? The one who won the Best Actor!” Leng Qingqing interjected, “Leng Rongrong, you’re truly ignorant and rude!”

“What impolite? I don’t know him. Is there a problem? You’re the rude one. I’m not asking you! Why are you interrupting!” Leng Rongrong glared at Leng Qingqing provocatively, then looked at Li Jinshu. “Teacher Li, I’m sorry. I rarely watch television, so I didn’t recognize you. But, I know that if Director Wang were to introduce you to me, you must be an old senior!”

“You’re that girl, Rongrong, right? I’ve heard Old Qi and the others talk about you. They’ve been telling me a lot these past few days, and they told me to talk to you when I come to the set!”

Li Jinshu smiled and said, “These old guys have become more cheerful recently. They say it’s all because of you. What did that Elder Qi say to me? He said that you’re proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although you’re young, your talent is unparalleled!”

“The teachers are all too kind!” Leng Rongrong replied humbly, “I only know a little.”

“I heard that you know how to paint national paintings. I’ve brought the materials. Why don’t we each paint a painting and give it to each other?” Li Jinshu looked very interested.

“Alright. If I can get Teacher Li’s Chinese painting, I’ll surely make a fortune!” Leng Rongrong’s eyes were filled with the shape of money.

She liked money, and she liked it so righteously.

Li Jinshu was immediately amused.

Before filming even started, Leng Rongrong and Li Jinshu had already painted a national painting together.

Almost everyone on the crew was watching.

Then, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knew that Jinshu was the last disciple of a Chinese art master. His Chinese art attainments could be said to be among the top three in the world today, but the painting that Leng Rongrong had drawn by his side could truly compete with Li Jinshu’s.
