Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 803: Well-Meaning Concern

Zheng Weiwei made a killing this year.

She’s not a prolific person. After earning big from one film, she plans to take a year off to spend time with her husband and children before considering her next film.

Every time she prepares for a film, it takes her more than a year, meticulously preparing everything.

For instance, with "Who’s Afraid in the Workplace", after kicking out Feng Yanqiu, she immediately found William; after changing the script, she immediately started a new one.

Because she never had just one plan.

This period has been the most relaxed time for Zheng Weiwei.

She plans to take the whole family to New Zealand, escaping China’s cold winter in New Zealand’s warm summer, then returning to enjoy China’s spring.

She is still handling some company matters, and hasn’t completed the film’s accounting yet.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, she heard that Sheng Tang took on a film.

First, geniuses aren’t welcomed, especially female geniuses. It’s not that locals don’t like geniuses, but they feel that the film industry can’t portray the geniuses they admire well.

Second, female disability is a profound topic, yet won’t attract the market. Supporting, helping, or even sympathizing with disabled people is politically correct, but it doesn’t mean people appreciate it or are willing to pay for this theme.

Third, this film is produced by Liu Taofang.

"... Why did you take on such a film?" Zheng Weiwei was very surprised, "Supposedly, you’re one of the hottest female stars right now, with good projects flooding in."

Sheng Tang: "Sister Zheng, this wasn’t a project I took on."

Zheng Weiwei thought her company forced her to act in it, feeling a bit sorry for her; at the same time, realizing that the company’s boss is her boyfriend, she felt more confused.

Sheng Tang continued to explain: "It’s a project I invested in."

Zheng Weiwei: "How much did you invest?"

"Half of the pre-production costs," Sheng Tang said.

Zheng Weiwei: "..."

She deliberated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

She clearly remembered advising Sheng Tang before not to be reckless.

Sheng Tang should have a very bright future; she’s a good actress with a sophisticated personality, she could secure a place in the film industry.

Zheng Weiwei and Ding Ruifan, both her and her husband’s support, would provide her with great resources and considerable advantages.

Unexpectedly, she started jeopardizing herself just as she became popular.

Zheng Weiwei was very distressed.

She couldn’t scold Sheng Tang, only saying, "Sister, you can still back out in time, if the investment money is lost, so be it.

If you don’t act in it, finding someone else to act is also possible. Really, don’t go to extremes like Liu Taofang. After Liu Taofang had one successful movie, his career path went wrong; it’s a real pity.

You have seen his situation today, it should be a warning to you."

Sheng Tang understood Zheng Weiwei’s good intentions.

She patiently explained, "Sister Zheng, I see promise in this project, and I believe it can be successful. Maybe not a massive hit, but it will definitely make money, I have that intuition. You call me a ’fortunate one’, so please trust me this time."

Zheng Weiwei sighed, feeling she was stubborn.

But she also had no other options.

Fortunately, Sheng Tang still had her support.

Zheng Weiwei thought, if she fails this time, when she starts a new film next time, she will still invite her to be the lead actress, giving her a chance in the hopes that she will cherish it more next time.

With this in mind, Zheng Weiwei didn’t persuade her further.

After Zheng Weiwei’s call, Sheng Tang received calls from several other friends, even from Ding Ruifan’s wife.

Their overall message was: Liu Taofang is unreliable.
