Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 856 - 854: If You’re Going to Do It, Do It Best (Second Update)
Of course, she also understands that for an old artist like Teacher Tan, the demands for performance have reached the point of nitpicking. Having high requirements for an actor’s image and details is only natural.
If Nuonuo were another performer, given that the teacher said to lose weight, Tian Fang would surely shrug and directly say, "Then just lose ten pounds."
However, Nuonuo is not just anyone; she is the young lady of the Ji Group, and Young Master Ji of the Ji Family arranged for her to be Nuonuo’s manager, with the first request being that Nuonuo must remain unharmed!
If Tian Fang really dared to ask Nuonuo to lose ten pounds as Teacher Tan suggested, she didn’t know if Young Master Ji would chase her down ten streets until she shaved ten pounds of flesh off her!
"Nuonuo, I think it’s better to follow Director Sun’s opinion. Director Sun hasn’t said anything!"
After officially taking on the role of Nuonuo’s manager, Tian Fang didn’t do as other performers’ managers who would pull strings everywhere or negotiate any work for Nuonuo. Her first action was to personally visit Director Sun and Mr. Mai, not as a manager under Star Road, but as the manager of Si Han.
Director Sun and Mr. Mai naturally got the message from Young Master Ji, Ji Yu, and treated Tian Fang very courteously, more so than they had during her time at Star Road. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
This confirmed to Tian Fang even more that her seemingly all-in risky move was indeed the right move.
Nuonuo hesitated for two days after hearing this, then called Director Sun herself, relaying Teacher Tan’s words verbatim. Director Sun pondered for a long while and finally smacked his thigh, saying, "Yes, losing another ten pounds would be perfect! I kept thinking something was off, Teacher Tan’s eye is indeed sharper than mine!"
Upon hearing his shout, Nuonuo realized that Director Sun and Teacher Tan were old friends.
And then, at the next acting class, Nuonuo unexpectedly saw Director Sun at Teacher Tan’s house.
"Director Sun, why are you here?"
"Si Han, come over. I was just discussing with Old Tan about how to modify this scene. You should help us take a look."
As it turned out, after Nuonuo conveyed Teacher Tan’s words, Director Sun immediately sought out Teacher Tan, and today, Director Sun brought the script to discuss some unsatisfactory details with Teacher Tan.
Listening obediently, Nuonuo dragged a chair over and sat down, "Director Sun, Teacher Tan, please chat, I’ll just listen along!"
As an outsider, she only wanted to seize every learning opportunity; as for opinions, she realized she was in no position to offer any.
For, in her eyes, the script had no flaws whatsoever. She cried every time she watched the climax scenes multiple times before filming even started. She was already deeply in love with the female lead character in the script; now, if asked what was wrong, how could she possibly answer?
"Old Sun, I believe the crying scene where the female lead cries in front of her parents should be changed. Instead, the female lead should shed tears silently under the covers behind their backs; it better suits the female lead’s personality, and her desire not to worry her parents..."
Nuonuo had read the script several times and could practically recite the scenes and plot elements from memory. Hearing Teacher Tan’s suggestion, she compared it with the script’s depiction, and even as an outsider, found Teacher Tan’s proposal more reasonable.
"Ah, yes, that’s more suitable!"
Thus, during the two acting classes that day, Nuonuo sat on the side, listening to the two renowned veterans debate and tug-of-war over the plot points. Some of which she understood, others, she grasped only partially, but in general, she benefitted greatly.
Regarding the weight loss matter, since Director Sun also agreed with Teacher Tan’s suggestion, Nuonuo resolved to lose ten pounds before filming started.
Of course, she didn’t forget that she was also a brand ambassador. Before taking action on the weight loss, she called Mr. Mai, "Mr. Mai, in order to better align with the film character’s image, I might need to lose ten pounds. Would this affect the shoot?"
Mr. Mai seemed overjoyed as if struck by a grand surprise, repeatedly saying, "No impact, no impact, you’ll be even more beautiful losing ten pounds!"
Ordinary models tend to be skinny. However, Nuonuo is not a professional model, so the director and brand didn’t have as strict weight requirements for her compared to professional models. Additionally, they have always adored Nuonuo because she possesses a unique charisma that other professional models lack. It is this unique quality that gained her fans throughout the Asia-Pacific market.
Of course, such things didn’t concern the previous Nuonuo.
But now things were different!
As she aimed to develop in this field, naturally, she needs to exert her utmost effort to be the best!
After getting Director Sun and Mr. Mai’s approval, Nuonuo asked Tian Fang to find a dietitian to design a weight loss plan for her.
Tian Fang, seeing there was no room for negotiation in this matter, agreed with Nuonuo verbally, and turned to report the situation to Mr. Ji, who was on a business trip.
Ji Yu received Tian Fang’s call during a meeting, glanced at the caller ID, signaled others to continue, and picked up the phone while stepping out onto the balcony.
It was early December, and standing on the balcony of a high-rise building, the north wind brushed across his face.
Ji Yu shivered slightly, leaning against the guardrail, and answered the call.
"Fangfang, what’s up?"
"Young Master Ji, Director Sun requested Nuonuo lose ten pounds for his movie. What do you think?"
Da Bao immediately imagined Nuonuo looking painfully thin and shivered again.
"Is it really necessary to lose that much?"
After some interaction, Tian Fang felt that if the request were directly from Director Sun, and Young Master Ji insisted against Nuonuo losing weight, Director Sun wouldn’t dare insist.
The problem was that at present, Nuonuo herself wanted to lose weight. This brother-sister struggle begs the question: who would prevail in the end?
Before making this call, Tian Fang bet on Young Master Ji winning!
Simply put, Tian Fang doesn’t quite understand Young Master Ji; or she doesn’t fully understand how dear Young Master Ji holds his precious little sister!
"Director Sun proposed this, but ultimately, it should depend on Nuonuo’s willingness, right? At her age, she loves to eat, and diet for weight loss isn’t easy."
Young Master Ji was silent for a while and said, "Alright, I’ll talk to the little girl about this before making a decision."
Afterward, it’s unclear what his precious sister told him. Anyway, within minutes, he replied to Tian Fang, "Fangfang, regarding the weight loss, I’ll respect the director’s opinion. I’ll have someone design Nuonuo’s weight loss plan, and I’ll send you a copy to help supervise her."
Tian Fang was stunned for a while, slowly regaining her thoughts, finally realizing that she might have underestimated Nuonuo all along.
