"Miss Tang?" A pleasant voice sounded from behind, with a hint of surprise.
Hearing someone calling her, Tang Xiaoxiao turned around immediately, only to see a slender and handsome figure standing behind him. The dim street lamp cast a thick shadow on his head, and his peaked cap tightly covered him. I couldn't see the face clearly, but I could smell a good smell coming from him.
"Mr. Daniel?" Tang Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Yeah." Tang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and showed a shallow smile.
Daniel walked over slowly, glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao's thin clothes, took off his coat and handed it to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Put it on, it's still a bit cold at night in December in Taiwan."
Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, shook her head quietly, and gave the other party a warm smile full of gratitude, "Thank you, I'm not very cold, and the crew's set is nearby. If it's cold, you can go back and get some clothes to wear. You should dress yourself."
Daniel smiled, but did not persist, "It seemed like Miss Tang was not in a good mood just now?"
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled nonchalantly, leaned against the guardrail again, looked at the sparkling lake, and suddenly asked lightly, "Mr. Daniel, if you have always hated someone, but suddenly one day you find out, It turns out that everything you got today was given by that person... What would you do if it were you?"
"Hate?!" Daniel raised his eyebrows, "Why do you hate? Has the person you hate done anything to you?"
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, "Yes, I have done something unforgivable..."
"Since it is something unforgivable, why are you still struggling?" Daniel asked back, his gaze far away and seeming to be nostalgic, "The wrong thing he did is unforgivable, so don't forgive it. Forget his kindness to you, just bravely continue this hatred with open hands."
"But..." Tang Xiaoxiao seemed to want to say something else.
"Can you forget your hatred for him? Can you find a reason for him to evade it? Are you even saying that the wrong things he did were because of his true intentions?"
Tang Xiaoxiao bit her lip tightly, dug her nails into her flesh, and murmured to herself as if she was crazy, "I... No! If others find out about the things he did, no one will forgive him. He He will be spurned and condemned by the entire society! He is just for money, just for his own interests, absolutely, absolutely unforgivable!"
Gradually, a cold and ferocious look flashed in Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes, "Yes, I will never forgive him! Isn't it a very interesting thing to use what he taught me to take revenge on him? No matter what he thinks What kind of kindness I have, he deserves it! It is absolutely unforgivable!"
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao like this, Daniel's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he said lightly, "Revenge is just an excuse for the weak... Keep working hard until one day you can overturn him in a flip of your hands."
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled with understanding, and the ferocious look in her eyes gradually dissipated, giving Daniel a shy smile, "Thank you, Daniel, thank you for helping me open my heart."
"You're welcome, it's my honor to serve such a beautiful lady." Daniel stared at Tang Xiaoxiao's charming little face and was suddenly stunned.
Such a girl is sometimes arrogant and cold, sometimes inhumane, and sometimes capable and smart. But if you take off her disguise, I'm afraid that's the real her in front of you, right? Dark, powerful, and too cold to be approached. But - what kind of suffering and pain did I have to go through to have such a strong and lifelong unforgivable hatred for that person
After coming back to his senses, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized how ferocious he had been, a trace of blush flashed across his face, and he said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Daniel, I really have the temerity to ask you such a question today. Perhaps, you should despise me in your heart." Right? Such a girl actually harbors such strong hatred and has such a dark and ugly side... "
Daniel also came back to his senses, and when he looked at Tang Xiaoxiao again, there was a hint of honesty in his expression, "Don't say that, I would rather girls today take off their masks of gentleness and hypocrisy."
"Xiaoxiao..." Tang Jingchen's familiar voice sounded not far away, "Xiaoxiao, where are you?"
"Yeah, my brother is looking for me." Tang Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled sweetly at Daniel, "It's really nice to chat with you today. Thank you for enlightening me."
"I told you, you're welcome." Daniel suddenly asked tentatively, "We are friends now, aren't we?"
"Of course." Tang Xiaoxiao responded cheerfully.
"By the way," Daniel just remembered and asked curiously, "I heard... you were at a nearby studio? Are you an actor too? However, I don't think I've seen you before."
Tang Xiaoxiao giggled with joy and winked playfully, "You guessed it wrong."
Daniel shook his head regretfully, "It would be a pity if such a beautiful girl is not an actress... I bet that even if you don't know anything, if you can get out, you will definitely become popular quickly, as long as you If you work a little harder and get a few movie queens, it will definitely be fine."
Tang Xiaoxiao suppressed her smile and deliberately teased him, "But there is no chance, what should I do?"
"Well, I have some connections in the industry. If you are willing, I can recommend you to a few directors to practice your acting skills for a while... If you are similar, I can recommend you to go to Hollywood in North America and become an international movie star. ,How about it?"
Daniel said these words out of nowhere, and when he came to his senses, he even wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle and thread. What a mouthful! With the good reputation you have cultivated in the circle over the years, who have you supported? —Why are you so sympathetic today
Tang Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing, but a feeling of gratitude surged in her heart. She knew the warmth and coldness of people in the circle better than anyone else, but this Daniel, whom she had met several times before, didn't care. Selflessly willing to support oneself, this is already a great kindness.
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao laughing so hard, Daniel quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was deliberately teasing him, and finally no longer had to cause any rumors in the circle.
But for some reason, a faint sense of loss lingered in my heart.
"I'm just teasing you!" Tang Xiaoxiao continued to purse her lips in amusement, patting Daniel's shoulder affectionately, "Are you interested in visiting the crew where I am?"
"Okay." Daniel responded with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao!" Tang Jingchen's figure was standing aside at some point. Seeing the familiar appearance of Tang Xiaoxiao and the man next to him, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he walked forward with a gentle and doting smile on his face. He pulled Tang Xiaoxiao to his side without any trace, "Why did you come here? What if you get lost?!"
"Brother..." Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't laugh or cry, "I am already twenty years old. After this Spring Festival, I will be twenty-one. Please don't treat me like a child, okay?"
Daniel looked at the "brother and sister" with a playful expression.
"The TV series has finished, and the crew is waiting for you." Tang Jingchen reminded.
"Okay! I understand." Tang Xiaoxiao responded and turned his gaze to Daniel aside, "Okay, Daniel, follow me to the set and have a look, how about it?"
"Of course." Daniel glanced at Tang Jingchen teasingly and agreed directly.
Tang Jingchen glanced at Daniel and said nothing.
When they arrived at the set, the entire crew was very motivated. Tang Jingchen glanced at Daniel beside him and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, go ahead and do your work. I'll just give Mr. Daniel a tour."
"Forget it, you should go do it yourself." Tang Xiaoxiao waved his hand, indicating that Tang Jingchen should go do it by himself, "Daniel is my friend, he can just follow me, I won't bother you."
trouble? Tang Jingchen realized for the first time that he hated this word so much.
Daniel just stood next to Tang Xiaoxiao, with a mask on his face, but the joke in his eyes couldn't help but show.
"Director Tang!" Tang Xin hurried over, "The actors you asked to find a few days ago are almost in place. Look... do you want to choose?"
"Director Tang! Do you think the positions of these cameras need to be changed?" Another director's assistant shouted from a distance.
"These makeup photos have been released. Director Tang, would you like to take a look and choose which one is better?"
"Director, the crew will accept several promotional programs in the next few days, but the TV station requires the director to also appear. What do you think we should do?"
As soon as Tang Xiaoxiao appeared, a lot of things had already piled up. Daniel, who was standing behind him, was already dumbfounded... Huh? Director=Tang Xiaoxiao? !
Tang Xiaoxiao rubbed his brows with a headache, glanced at the cameras around him and the makeup photos in his hands, and said loudly, "Let the actors we have found come to audition tomorrow. I don't have time to deal with them today! Everything else about the camera is fine." , but camera No. 5 needs to move back about two meters. After a while, we have a scene where we need to zoom out and take a makeup photo... We will use the one with Cheng Zi and Gu Jingchen back to back. The publicity side will tell them that I will not appear! But you can give the show crew some teasers and I’ll just show my face... And... "
Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao's capable and cold appearance, Daniel almost thought that her fragile and soft side by the lake was just an illusion, but there was already a huge wave in his heart. —She is still so young, and she has already become a director. She is actually able to provoke everything in the entire crew, and it seems... everyone is quite impressed by her? !
After dealing with all this, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't care about Daniel who was following her and started filming the scene directly. Even though it was Christmas tonight and the whole Taipei was a happy and peaceful scene, she still worked selflessly...
"Ka! Chengzi, your expression is not right. Remember, you are the soul of this scene. If you can't control the scene yourself, the scene will be completely ruined."
"Yes! Director Tang!"
"Do it again! This scene couldn't be better. You don't have to sleep tonight! Don't think that if the TV series starts today, I will lower my requirements for you... All departments are ready! 3, 2, 1! Action!"
…
For the first time, Daniel actually watched a filming and was shocked.
Seeing her familiar and capable look on all this, Daniel had a strange thought in his heart: Tang Xiaoxiao, are you really only twenty years old? But... why do you feel that those veteran directors who are ten or twenty years old don't have as high a level of professionalism as she does? !
Her feeling as a director is majestic, concise and capable. She knows everything about camera positions and actors' acting skills. She really looks like the style of a top director who has retired from the entertainment industry...
As long as she is fully proficient in these and masters the rhythm of directing, maybe there will be a great Chinese female director in the Chinese entertainment industry!
If I really wait for that day... Maybe I won't be so lonely in Hollywood.
As a Chinese, struggling in a foreign country full of other skin colors, no one can speak the same Chinese as myself. I am afraid that no one can understand the sadness and pain except myself.
It was also the first time that Daniel had expectations for someone.
