Huayu: When the director changed his major

The afternoon shoot went exceptionally smoothly.

But Cheng Xi took several more photos from different angles.

Especially when he's shooting Taylor Swift.

When it was time for the actors to rest, they even turned the film set into a photo shoot location for Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift knew that Cheng Xi was a good director and was happy to let her give it her all.

They kept striking poses.

Cheng Xi: "Taylor Swift, do you know how high my cameramanship fee is?"

Taylor Swift: "Cheng, do you know how much my cameo fee is?"

Goodness, they're all big names.

Moreover, it seems that Cheng Xi's appearance fee is actually not as high as theirs.

Cheng Xi was speechless for a moment after thinking about this.

Seeing Cheng Xi's discomfiture, Zhu Zhu and Cheng Xiao next to him also laughed.

However, Cheng Xi got more and more into filming.

He even had the photographers follow him and take pictures from different angles.

Make sure to capture the best possible results.

Cheng Xi will need to provide photos later; the better the photos, the smoother the subsequent collaborations will go.

"Let's change into different outfits after we finish filming."

"Okay, I'll give you my entire afternoon."

When the film crew finished shooting, Cheng Xi took the opportunity to film for a little while longer.

Afterwards, Cheng Xi extended an invitation to White and Taylor Swift to have dinner together.

But to everyone's surprise, Taylor Swift directly refused:

"I had plans to meet up with some friends tonight, and I was supposed to go see them this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi could only shrug.

"Okay, that saves me the cost of a meal."

"You owe me a meal, write it down."

After saying that, Taylor Swift put on her sunglasses, got into a van with her assistant, and drove off gracefully.

Cheng Xiao, noticing that Cheng Xi's eyes were still fixed on Taylor Swift, teased:
"Boss, even you have times when your invitations are rejected? Taylor Swift is so cool when she rejects people!"

He had barely finished speaking when he let out another "Ouch!"

It wasn't anything else, but Cheng Xi smacked her on the head again, making her make sarcastic remarks here.

Zhu Zhu: "Director Cheng is still very charming. Taylor Swift still owes her a meal, so this means Director Cheng has to pay it back."

"Director Cheng, do you think my analysis is correct?"

"Half right, anyway, we'll meet again."

After finishing work, I realized that inviting Taylor Swift to dinner had failed.

Cheng Xi simply explained the situation to the crew and then got into the car alone with her bodyguard.

"Let's go check on Xiaoran."

"Okay, boss."

Cheng Xi hadn't visited her in the past few days because she was really busy, and Li Xiaoran's parents were also there, so Cheng Xi felt a little uncomfortable.

It's as if I've done something wrong.

However, Cheng Xi also knew that he hadn't been very kind in this matter.

Moreover, after his parents found out about this, they gave him a severe scolding.

They specifically told me not to do such reckless things in the future, and that I should settle down and settle down at my age.

My mother's long-awaited eldest and second daughters-in-law are still undecided, and now there's another unmarried woman giving birth.

It gave her a terrible headache.

If you don't have children, you're anxious; if you do have them, you're worried.

Finally, he insisted on visiting the United States to see his granddaughter, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

But his parents were from a small county town and didn't speak English.

The only option was to ask Second Uncle's daughter, Cheng Xi's cousin, to help with the paperwork for going abroad.

At least she knows some English.

As for Cheng Xi's affair of having a child out of wedlock, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Upon reaching the door, Li Xiaoran opened it herself, one hand still supporting her pregnant belly. Cheng Xi stepped forward and hugged her gently, saying:

"Why did you open the door yourself? You need to rest."

"It's alright, I'm not that delicate. Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I came here to eat. My second aunt's cooking is really good."

After Cheng Xi said those words, he instantly felt a sense of home.

His wife was waiting for him at home, and the first thing she asked him when he got home was whether he had eaten.

Regardless, Cheng Xi was touched.

Li Xiaoran smiled, then called out to the inner room:

"Mom and Dad, Cheng Xi is here. We'll have dinner here tonight."

Cheng Xi could clearly hear the joy in those words.

That's true. The child's maternal grandparents are here, and the child's father hasn't come for several days, so they definitely miss him.

Cheng Xi greeted everyone in the room.

They even politely asked if I needed help in the kitchen.

However, he was directly rejected.

So Cheng Xi sat down on the sofa with Li Xiaoran and watched TV together.

Since many American TV shows are tiring to watch, since they are all in English, they show Mandarin films that Cheng Xi asked someone to get from Chinatown.

Seeing the familiar actors and characters, including Lu Chuan, Cheng Xi was quite surprised.

He's acted in movies before?

That old nemesis even followed us to America; he's like a persistent ghost.

I wonder how he is doing now; it's been a long time since I've paid attention to him.

"Why is Lu Chuan in the cast? What movie is this?"

"Three Unmarried Mothers is quite good; I'll study it in advance."

Li Xiaoran snuggled into Cheng Xi's arms while eating fruit.

"Uh, I have ideas for learning in advance."

Cheng Xi didn't know how to phrase it for a moment; in Cheng Xi's view, "unmarried mother" was not a good term.

But there's nothing we can do; things have just gotten to this point.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoran was still enjoying herself and didn't think it was a bad thing.

Many times, she was the one who directly worked on her parents' mindset.

Today, I could clearly feel that her parents' attitude towards me had improved a lot.

At least the old man will call me by name now.

The more Cheng Xi watched the movie called "Three Unmarried Mothers," the more outrageous she felt it was.

The cast even includes Yang Mi, Feng Gong, Sha Yi, Wen Zhang, Tong Dawei, and Alec Su.
But why do I have absolutely no recollection of this film?

Yang Mi has acted in films like this before?

To be honest, his acting is still as bad as ever, especially compared to everyone else.

Li Xiaoran then said:

"I heard Taylor Swift visited your film set today and even made a cameo appearance?"

Cheng Xi blinked instantly, her mind racing as she quickly considered who the mole was who had leaked the information.

But he said calmly:

"Yes, I attended a party yesterday and wanted to get the rights to a Taylor Swift song. I didn't expect them to come visit the set today. It's mainly about business cooperation."

After saying that, Cheng Xi couldn't help but ask:
"Hmm, how did you know? You're so well-informed even at home."

"Hmph, what's wrong? Scared? I've planted a spy on your side to report your every move."

Cheng Xi remained noncommittal, and said calmly:

"It's nothing, I just didn't want to distract you."

Then he talked about how he recently met Taylor Swift and how she made a cameo appearance.

Normally, Cheng Xi would never have explained, but seeing Li Xiaoran's increasingly protruding belly, she patiently explained it to her.

"Da Cheng, you don't need to explain to me. You have your job. I was just joking with you earlier."

Then he planted a sweet kiss on Cheng Xi's cheek and said with eyes full of happiness:
"As long as you come home, that's all that matters!" (End of Chapter)
