Chapter 330 (1/2)
The moment she appeared, she became the focal point of everyone’s attention.
“Ning Qing.” Xiao Zhou waved her hand and excitedly shouted Ning Qing’s name.
Ning Qing’s tiny, exquisite face had a large pair of sungla.s.ses on it. She heard Xiao Zhou’s voice and pushed her sungla.s.ses over her forehead as she looked at Xiao Zhou with a smile on her face. “Xiao Zhou.”
She dragged her luggage as she walked over to her direction.
“Ning Qing.” Xiao Zhou gave Ning Qing an excited hug and said, “Ning Qing, I really missed you so much. You have finally come back.”
As she spoke, Xiao Zhou looked at Ning Qing’s eyes and said, “Ning Qing, have you regained your vision?”
“Yeah.” Ning Qing nodded her head. Her pure eyes were just like the pure and clean springs flowing through the mountains. They were clear and bright. “I have regained my vision.”
“That’s great news, Ning Qing.”
Ning Qing patted her shoulder while she said, “Okay, Xiao Zhou, let’s go out now.”
“Okay.” Xiao Zhou took her luggage, and the two of them went out of the door.
It was no longer an SUV vehicle parked outside the door but a Maserati.
Xiao Zhou placed her luggage in the trunk and took out a set of car keys. “Ning Qing, you are still a rookie driver. Drive this Maserati. I have ordered the car that you want from overseas, and it should be here in a week.”
Ning Qing took the car keys into her hands and smiled as she looked at Xiao Zhou. “Let’s go.”
…
The Maserati cruised onto the main streets, and Xiao Zhou was seated comfortably in her seat. She turned sideways to look at Ning Qing. The woman had a pair of black sungla.s.ses, and her curls covered half of her face and were tucked behind her ear, exposing a pair of pearl earrings on her snowy white earlobes. The pair of earrings was glowing as the rays of the intense sun shone onto them.
Xiao Zhou had a smile on her face, she felt relieved, and she knew that her Ning Qing had finally come back.
“Ning Qing, what should we do next?”
Ning Qing looked through the rear view mirror at the cars behind her. She signaled and changed lanes steadily. “Let’s film a television drama.”
“Filming a television drama? That’s great.” Xiao Zhou was extremely excited and continued, “What genre of television drama are we filming?”
“A war between spies during the Minguo Period.”
Xiao Zhou heard what she said and froze for a moment. “Ning Qing, wartime spy dramas during the Minguo period are not popular. The news of your return to the entertainment industry is gaining much interest/ Why don’t you strike the iron while it’s hot and film the most popular drama that is adapted from a web novel? This kind of storyline would have many fans of the original web novel already, and with your popularity and backing, it would very easy to attract investors to the drama.”
Ning Qing looked sideways to glance at Xiao Zhou. Her beautiful, maroon lips were curled up halfway and her voice was soft and coy as she said, “Xiao Zhou, wartime spy dramas are indeed not popular, but if I am able to film it well, it would become popular. Trust me on that.”
Xiao Zhou looked at Ning Qing’s expressive face as she rapidly nodded her head. “Okay!”
Ning Qing was satisfied as she said, “I have a great script in my hands. This time, I have collaborated with a famed producer in the industry to create a wartime drama during the Minguo Period. I have the male lead, and you can cast the remaining roles for the drama. Remember that they have to low voices, have to look good, and their personalities must be like an uncle’s.”
Xiao Zhou was taken aback, “Ning Qing, do you not plan to use the young, handsome male actors? The most popular actor right now is a young and handsome man.”
Ning Qing shook her head and said, “Xiao Zhou, let’s do something different this time.”
“Okay, what about the female lead then?”
“Female lead? Isn’t there a female celebrity that has shot to fame in the entertainment industry after appearing in a reality TV show. Give her a call to ask her partic.i.p.ate.”
“Ning Qing, what are you joking about? That female celebrity is only able to be a pretty face. Forget about asking her to act.”
“Yeah.” Ning Qing nodded her head relaxedly, and said, “I am inviting her to be a pretty face and cameo in it; this wartime drama doesn’t have a female lead.”
Xiao Zhou widened her eyes in shock. “What?”
Ning Qing laughed and said, “Don’t be too taken aback. It has always been a guarantee for ratings using the female and male’s leads looks. Who created the rules saying that two male leads couldn’t be a couple and would not be popular doing so? Everything is possible.”
After finis.h.i.+ng, Ning Qing pursed her red lips and said, “Xiao Zhou, we are not lacking in money. If we fail, then let us fail. Don’t be too nervous.”
Xiao Zhou looked the attractive smile that Ning Qing had on her face. She was in disbelief. This time, Ning Qing was too creative and too daring. A couple between two male leads — she’d never heard of such a thing.
But that sentence: We are not lacking in money. She was indeed able to make Xiao Zhou feel secure.
Xiao Zhou shrugged her shoulders. This was exactly something that her Ning Qing would say.
Okay then, if they failed they would accept their failure then. They were rich people, and they did not care.
Young people should try new things.
Xiao Zhou was energized. She realized that after she started to work with Ning Qing, she would have a constant stream of energy within her, and an intelligent director would let the ones working under them realize their potential to work even harder.
“Sure, Ning Qing. I will listen to your commands.”
“Okay, pick the characters quickly, then start filming. This time, we have chosen to film episode by episode while we upload it online after we complete the filming of the episode itself. One more thing, we would not need any sponsors for advertis.e.m.e.nts this time.”
“Why?”
Ning Qing lifted her exquisite eyebrows and smiled confidently, “Because I am taking all of the advertis.e.m.e.nts inserted into the drama.”
Xiao Zhou’s heart leaped. “Ning Qing, you…” she said joyfully.
Ning Qing nodded her head, and said, “That’s right! My red wine business has officially started.”
