My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 860

Chapter 860 Suffer

After breakfast, Ning Ran and Nan Chen sent their kids to school. Then, the driver dropped Nan Chen off at the office before chauffeuring Ning Ran to meet up with Wang Xiaoou and the rest of the crew.

Nan Chen exited the vehicle and took a few steps before retracing his path. “If anyone dares to bully you during the filming, you can retort no matter who that person is.”

Ning Ran was momentarily dazed before she grinned. “What if it's Sir Chen who bullies me? Do I retort too?”

Instead of answering, he merely waved his hand, gesturing at the chauffeur to drive the car away.

Ning Ran mulled over Nan Chen's words along the way, but she couldn't fathom his intention.

Upon meeting up Wang Xiaoou and the rest of the crew, they departed for the airport together.

On the way to the airport, Wang Xiaoou said to Ning Ran solemnly, “I have a few things to clarify to you regarding the work this time.”

Wang Xiaoou had always been a serious person, even on regular days. Hence, Ning Ran would feel a sense of foreboding whenever Wang Xiaoou behaved more formally than usual.

“Please, go on, Ou. I'm listening.” Ning Ran was a humble person. Even with Nan Chen backing her, she had never put on airs around Wang Xiaoou.

“Firstly, Shi Jie's fans are relatively young, so they are also comparatively immature. Therefore, you may be boycotted since you'll be participating in the filming of his music video.”

Ning Ran was well aware of that, so she wasn't surprised.

In fact, not only Shi Jie's teenage fans were irrational, as most celebrities' followers behaved unreasonably.

After all, chances for a truly sensible and well-grounded person to go nuts over a celebrity were extremely slim.


“I got it, Ou. I'll just turn a blind eye if they scold me on Weibo,” Ning Ran chirped.

Wang Xiaoou smiled as well. “It is unavoidable for artists to get criticized. Your attitude is commendable. Secondly, Director Xie, the director in charge of filming this music video, is infamous for his ill temper in the entertainment industry. Moreover, he's very picky about the artists' performances. He even berated some celebrities until they cried.”

That was something out of Ning Ran's anticipation. “Is he really that scary?”

“Affirmative. However, his skills are undoubtedly top-notch. Let me put it this way. Almost eighty percent of the local A-list celebrities would want him to direct the filming of their music videos. He and his team are specialists in making short music videos. His name itself is a vouch for high-quality products. Although they would have to endure his scolding, many celebrities are still adamant about collaborating with him. Naturally, there were frequent occasions when the artists would argue with him. These celebrities usually badmouthed him on Weibo after they were done filming their music videos, and he would immediately respond by chastising them. Because of this, Xie Dazui is notorious for his harsh remarks and unwillingness to yield.”

Ning Ran laughed. “This sounds interesting. Does that mean I'll most probably get scolded by him?”

“Not necessarily. I have faith in your acting skills. However, Xie Dazui does uphold a very stringent set of standards. I heard there were even times he would reshoot the same scene over a hundred times,” Wang Xiaoou replied.

“Oh my goodness. Over a hundred times? Is he that crazy?” Cheng Xiangyun, sitting at one side, cried out.

Ning Ran pondered. Nan Chen must've heard about this Xie Dazui's demanding personality, so he deliberately told me I could retort to anyone who bullies me. He's such a scrupulous person. I can't believe he even instructed his men to investigate an insignificant job like this so thoroughly.

“That's all right. Only by maintaining high standards can we produce first-rate products. I'm not afraid,” Ning Ran uttered cheerfully.

“Mr. Chen told us he would hold us accountable if someone bullied you during our outstation work. That's why I'm notifying you in advance.”

That was Wang Xiaoou's intention in telling Ning Ran all those things. She was worried the latter might be unable to endure Xie Dazui's harsh criticism and ended up complaining to Nan Chen after getting into a conflict with Xie Dazui.

In truth, Ning Ran wasn't someone like that. She thought it was normal for one to feel a bit aggrieved and discontented at work. Even an elite like Nan Chen has to cope with a lot of pressure, isn't it?

“Don't worry, Ou. I have great endurance, and I'll do my best to tolerate Xie Dazui no matter how difficult he is.”

The filming location for the first scene of the music video was set at an acting school.

Young students made up most of the celebrities' fan clubs, especially an artist like Shi Jie, who was primarily supported by teenagers. He was all the more admired and idolized by students from acting schools.

After all, it was every acting school student's dream to be well-known internationally, indulging in fame and fortune.

The school even announced a special holiday on that day to ensure the filming could proceed smoothly.

Although it was a holiday, most students stayed back at the school when they heard Shi Jie was visiting for filming as they wanted to meet their idol and see him in action.

Thunderous cheers erupted the moment Shi Jie's car arrived at the school's entrance.

Even though a large number of security guards were assigned to maintain order, the situation at the scene was still close to getting out of control.

Fortunately, Shi Jie had high emotional intelligence. He requested his assistant to hand him a megaphone and took the initiative to interact with the students.
