Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Whose Daughter Is She
While eating, she looked at the two kids.
“The weather is too hot. If you can’t take it, go back quickly, okay? So you don’t get heatstroke.”
Chenchen shook his head, “I’m fine.”
Seeing this, Chongchong quickly shook her head too, “I’m fine as well.”
“Alright then.” Tong Mo continued eating her ice cream.
At this moment, noise erupted from the director’s team.
“Why did Zhao Ruanruan’s kid have to let us down at such a crucial moment!”
“Director, you can’t blame our Ruanruan for this. She didn’t miss it on purpose, she has chickenpox.” Zhao Ruanruan’s mom said helplessly.
“Should I even continue filming or what!” The director was furious.
It could take at least a week, or even up to half a month, for chickenpox to fully heal. Is he supposed to keep the entire crew waiting for her alone?
The most important thing is that this is a weekly drama set to air next week, there’s no time to wait for her to recover.
The assistant director, seeing this, quickly said, “Director, please calm down. I’ll immediately go and find other child actors now.”
“You think finding child actors is easy?” The director rolled his eyes.
Some kids can’t even remember their lines during filming, let alone their expressions, and it takes an absurd amount of time to get a good take.
But Zhao Ruanruan is different. She’s only four years old but already has two years of acting experience, so she’s great in terms of popularity, expressions, and lines.
“Anyway, find someone as a temporary measure.” The assistant director sighed helplessly.
That’s the only way for now.
The director shouted at him, “Why aren’t you going now!”
“Right away, right away!” The assistant director rushed off to find someone.
Just as he was about to leave Hengdian, he caught a glimpse of Chongchong.
What an exquisite little girl!
The assistant director immediately turned and walked towards her.
“Sister Tong, who is this relative of yours? She’s really beautiful.” The assistant director quickly tried to get on good terms.
“She’s my future daughter-in-law.” Tong Mo said with a smile.
“Huh?!” The assistant director was dumbfounded.
Are you kidding me? Your son is only about six or seven years old, and you’re already thinking of finding a wife for him?
Tong Mo ignored his surprise and asked, “Why are you looking for me, assistant director? Or is it that the scene I shot just now wasn’t good enough and needs a retake?”
“No, no, no, Sister Tong’s scene could never need a retake!” The assistant director quickly shook his head and said his real intent, “Actually, I wanted to ask if this child could try for the role of the seventh princess.”
The seventh princess is the female lead of this drama.
The young version of the seventh princess was played by Zhao Ruanruan.
Tong Mo is playing the grown-up seventh princess.
“I remember the seventh princess was played by little Ms. Zhao Ruanruan, right?” Tong Mo frowned.
Why is there suddenly a need to change the cast?
“Originally, yes, but she suddenly came down with chickenpox and can’t act.” The assistant director sighed and explained the situation to her.
Tong Mo instantly understood the reason for the commotion earlier.
“So Sister Tong, could you let this child help shoot a few scenes? Don’t worry, we’ll pay your future daughter-in-law the same compensation as Zhao Ruanruan.” The assistant director offered Chongchong a fee comparable to a popular child star to find a child actor and appease Tong Mo.
Tong Mo shook her head, “Assistant director, although Chongchong is indeed my future daughter-in-law, I can’t decide on her behalf for acting. You need to discuss it with her parents.”
“Whose daughter is this little girl?”
