Sheng Tang accompanied her grandfather for half a month.
During these two weeks, Gu Shiting ca by every day, staying there overnight and leaving in the morning.
Sotis he needed to go to the lab and had to get up at four in the morning.
Though there was a driver to take him, he said he could sleep a bit on the way, and Sheng Tang still couldn’t bear it.
It was too far.
And Sheng Tang was not idle either.
She had two things to do: Firstly, she needed to oversee the post-production and special effects for "Tomb Raiders: Kunlun Snow Jade"; Secondly, Ke Fei had helped her get a role in a new film set to start shooting in April.
The new movie is called "Never Loved You" and it depicts a "mother-daughter" relationship.
The mother was an engineer in her younger days, extrely busy with work. She got married to her husband for two years but lived apart for long periods, and he cheated on her.
Shortly after the cheating, her husband was diagnosed with cancer.
The mistress ca to visit him with a pregnant belly, shocking the mother, who cursed her husband at his bedside to die soon and not burden her. The husband’s guilt worsened his condition, and he died two months later.
The mistress gave birth to a child, a baby girl.
The mistress was not well-educated and had no support, so she left the child at the hospital and ran away.
The hospital staff called the mother because the mistress left the husband’s phone number and ho address.
The mother had no choice but to fetch the child from the hospital, intending to send her to an orphanage.
But the child cried, and sucked on her finger.
The mother had just lost her husband and lived alone, her ho frighteningly quiet. The sudden cries made her break down and sob, and she felt sowhat better.
She raised the baby girl.
Her family, friends, and colleagues all criticized her as crazy.
So spoke their criticisms directly, others said it behind her back.
The mother regretted it countless tis.
Throughout the girl’s long life, the mother often lashed out, even scolding and hitting her, calling her a vixen’s daughter, blaming her for ruining the mother’s life.
Yet the girl was unfazed by it all and grew up to be an optimistic, lively, and even empathetic honor student.
Eventually, the daughter pursued the sa career as her mother, becoming a hydro-engineer, frequently traveling around.
As the mother aged, an old friend ca to visit after many years, saw the daughter and exclaid, "She’s too much like you, exactly like the younger you."
The mother’s face was full of tears.
She had spent her life being self-sacrificing, yet despised herself for it.
Finally she realized she hadn’t raised the child as a burden from her deceased husband and his mistress, but had nurtured a talented individual, created a more successful version of herself.
When the daughter won an award, she repeatedly thanked her mother.
She had always known her identity and understood her mother. But what she felt the most was the love and warmth her mother gave her.
Upon finishing the script, Sheng Tang’s eyes were wet with tears, and she rembered herself.
Though there was quite a gap between herself and the girl, she found a sense of resonance.
She felt she could perform well.
Though the story isn’t complex, even sowhat self-sacrificing, it conveys a sincere emotion and explores the group of "single mothers" and celebrates won engineers.
"It was recomnded by Chuiyang," Ke Fei told Sheng Tang.
The success of "White Snake" gave Wang Chuiyang a successful comrcial film, fulfilling her goals with "White Snake," and she felt very grateful to Sheng Tang.
Her father was once the chairman of the Qinglan Award committee, so Wang Chuiyang knows which projects are likely to win, and which teams excel at promotion.
This "Never Loved You" movie title is actually an ironic "phrase," showcasing the main character’s deep love for her daughter all along.
The "mother" character is played by the famous Qinglan Award-winning actress Li Zhijin.
Mr. Li is a performing artist, very skilled, having won nurous prizes, Qinglan Award judges especially favor her, she’s won the Qinglan Award thrice, once for best supporting actress, twice for best leading actress.
Mr. Li Zhijin’s team is also adept at handling Qinglan Award operations.
With such a project and partnership, Sheng Tang’s likelihood of winning an award is much higher.
Sheng Tang called Wang Chuiyang: "Thank you, Chuiyang."
