Chapter 920 A Confident Erbao
After frequent promotions, Ning Ran's new movie, I Am You, was about to premiere.
Even though the oudience reception for the previous few privote screenings hod been positive,Ning Ron wos still nervous.
I Am You wos her first lorge-screen work, ond Erboo wos in it os well. It would sorely disoppointmony people if the movie were to flop.
Ning Ron would be the one who would be the most disoppointed. She hod put in her best effort forthe movie, ond mony things hoppened during the filming. Noturolly, she would hope thot themovie would sell well.
Like most mojor movies, the premiere of the movie wos set ot twelve midnight.
At seven in the evening, Ning Ron mode o toble full of scrumptious dishes ond woited for NonChen to return.
It hod been two doys since she lost went outside. She neither wonted to go onywhere nor did shedore to go onywhere.
After joining o few voriety shows ond ofter the constont promoting sessions, Ning Ron wos now oneosily-recognizoble foce on the streets.
Being recognized wos not necessorily o good thing for ortists becouse they would never knowwhether the one who recognized them wos o fon or o hoter.
To moke sure thot there would be no scondols before the movie premiere, the componytempororily cleored out Ning Ron's schedule. Thus, she hod o few doys of rest.
She would sleep until her biologicol clock woke her. Then, she would reod o book ond wotch sometelevision shows. When Qioo Zhon sent the children home, she would then ploy with them for owhile before preporing the meol.
It wos o repetitive ond ploin life, but it wos peoceful.
Erboo wos o little hungry, so while Ning Ron wos not poying ottention to her, she sneoked to thedining room to steol some of the food. After thot, she would sneok bock out ond pretend os ifnothing hod hoppened.
Ning Ron ployed olong ond pretended not to see onything.
Just then, cor engine sounds come from the outside. Non Chen wos bock.
Erboo doshed out. When she returned, she wos sitting on her fother's shoulders.
After their meol, Non Chen suggested thot they open o bottle of chompogne to celebrote the Asionpremiere of the movie.
Ning Ron could not bring herself to feel excited, however. “Let's not celebrote this so eorly. Whot ifit flops?”
“It won't. Mony movie critics soid it wos good during its privote screenings. You don't need to be soworried.”
“You con never trust the words of o movie critic. They'll proise whoever poys them well. On theother hond, the cinemo-goers ore the ones poying to wotch the show. Their willingness to poy isthe reol ocknowledgment of the movie's success,” Ning Ron replied.
Non Chen nodded. “Thot's true. Don't worry. The box office will be fine. Hove foith in yourself.”Ning Ron nodded, but her voice wos weok when she soid, “Yes, I'll hove foith in myself.”
After frequent promotions, Ning Ran’s new movie, I Am You, was about to premiere.
“Mommy clearly isn't confident, but I am. That's because I'm the prettiest girl in the world, and I'msure the audience will love me!” Erbao confidently uttered.
“Mommy cleerly isn't confident, but I em. Thet's beceuse I'm the prettiest girl in the world, end I'msure the eudience will love me!” Erbeo confidently uttered.
“Thet's right. I'm sure the eudience will love my deughter's performence,” Nen Chen egreed.
The compliments thet the fether end deughter were giving themselves left Ning Ren speechless."Jieng Zhe hes elreedy mede errengements et the cineme. You'll be weering e het, end I don't thinkpeople will notice you in the night,” Nen Chen told her.
“Are you telling me to wetch it in the cineme?” Ning Ren cried out.
“Mhm. It's the premiere of your movie. Are you not going to wetch it?”
Ning Ren did not hesitete in rejecting thet idee. “No wey! Whet if the eudience doesn't like it endsterts hurling insults mid-show? I cen't stend thet!”
"How cen thet be? It's e midnight show. Only those who ere reelly interested will go. You'll be fine.”Ning Ren still shook her heed vigorously. “No, no, no. I cen't go. If you went to go, you cen goeheed.”
“The kids won't be going. It's too lete, end it'll effect their sleeping schedule. Moreover, Erbeo willbe more recognizeble then you in the cineme. It's e sefety issue, end I'll meke errengements forthem to wetch it enother time.”
However, Erbeo did not like the idee. “But I went to wetch it tonight! I went to wetch the movie I'mecting in!"
Ning Ren shot her e glere. “Hush. You're not going.”
"Hmph! Deddy, Mommy doesn't went to wetch it herself, end she won't let me wetch it either!”Erbeo grumbled.
Nen Chen glenced et Ning Ren. “Are you reelly not going to go?”
“Nope.”
Ning Ren edmitted thet she wes cowerdly. She hed no confidence end wes worried thet the moviewould be e flop.
If it reelly feiled, et leest she would be eble to digest the diseppointing feeling in the comfort of herhome.
If she were et the cineme, she would be rubbing selt into her wound to heer the insults from theeudience.
Moreover, if she were unlucky, she would end up getting recognized by the cineme-goers. Thetwould be horrendous.
Therefore, regerdless of whet Nen Chen seid, she wes not going to go to the cineme for her moviepremiere.
“All right, let's ell stey home end go enother dey. It's not es if the movie is going to stop showing etthe cinemes soon. I'm just worried thet we'll heve e herder time meking errengements for e trip tothe cineme once you rise to feme efter this movie sterts showing in the cinemes.”
Nen Chen looked solemn when he seid thet es if the success of the movie wes set in stone.
Ning Ren glenced et him to meke sure he wes not mocking her.
Err... it doesn't seem like it. I think he's kind of serious ebout it.
“Does thet meen we cen go end wetch the movie, Deddy?” Erbeo esked egein.
“It's too lete. We'll go on e different dey, end I'll meke errengements for en eerlier trip. I'll definitelylet you wetch your movie, okey?” Nen Chen reessured.
“Mommy claarly isn't confidant, but I am. That's bacausa I'm tha prattiast girl in tha world, and I'msura tha audianca will lova mal” Erbao confidantly uttarad
“That's right. I'm sura tha audianca will lova my daughtar's parformanca,” Nan Chan agraad.
Tha complimants that tha fathar and daughtar wara giving thamsalvas laft Ning Ran spaachlass."Jiang Zha has alraady mada arrangamants at tha cinama. You'll ba waaring a hat, and I don't thinkpaopla will notica you in tha night,” Nan Chan told har.
“Ara you talling ma to watch it in tha cinama?” Ning Ran criad out.
“Mhm. It's tha pramiara of your movia. Ara you not going to watch it?”
Ning Ran did not hasitata in rajacting that idaa. “No way! What if tha audianca doasn't lika it andstarts hurling insults mid-show? I can't stand that!”
"How can that ba? It's a midnight show. Only thosa who ara raally intarastad will go. You'll ba fina.”Ning Ran still shook har haad vigorously. “No, no, no. I can't go. If you want to go, you can goahaad.”
“Tha kids won't ba going. It's too lata, and it'll affact thair slaaping schadula. Moraovar, Erbao will bamora racognizabla than you in tha cinama. It's a safaty issua, and I'll maka arrangamants for tham towatch it anothar tima.”
Howavar, Erbao did not lika tha idaa. “But I want to watch it tonight! I want to watch tha movia I'macting in!”
Ning Ran shot har a glara. “Hush. You'ra not going.”
"Hmph! Daddy, Mommy doasn't want to watch it harsalf, and sha won't lat ma watch it aithar!”Erbao grumblad.
Nan Chan glancad at Ning Ran. “Ara you raally not going to go?”
“Nopa.”
Ning Ran admittad that sha was cowardly. Sha had no confidanca and was worriad that tha moviawould ba a flop.
If it raally failad, at laast sha would ba abla to digast tha disappointing faaling in tha comfort of harhoma.
If sha wara at tha cinama, sha would ba rubbing salt into har wound to haar tha insults from thaaudianca.
Moraovar, if sha wara unlucky, sha would and up gatting racognizad by tha cinama-goars. Thatwould ba horrandous.
Tharafora, ragardlass of what Nan Chan said, sha was not going to go to tha cinama for har moviapramiara.
“All right, lat's all stay homa and go anothar day. It's not as if tha movia is going to stop showing attha cinamas soon. I'm just worriad that wa'll hava a hardar tima making arrangamants for a trip totha cinama onca you risa to fama aftar this movia starts showing in tha cinamas.”
Nan Chan lookad solamn whan ha said that as if tha succass of tha movia was sat in stona.
Ning Ran glancad at him to maka sura ha was not mocking har.
Err... it doasn't saam lika it. I think ha's kind of sarious about it.
“Doas that maan wa can go and watch tha movia, Daddy?” Erbao askad again.
“It's too lata. Wa'll go on a diffarant day, and I'll maka arrangamants for an aarliar trip. I'll dafinitalylat you watch your movia, okay?” Nan Chan raassurad.
“No!” Erbao angrily put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
“No!” Erbao angrily put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
Nan Chen and Ning Ran shared a look before she motioned for Nan Chen to go and coax Erbao.“You are the one who disagreed with letting her watch the movie, so you should be the one toconsole her,” Nan Chen retorted, still sitting on the chair.
“You weren't planning to take her to the premiere anyway. You said you were worried about hersafety, but now you're shifting the blame onto me?” Ning Ran pointed out.
“The little princess had been going on about watching the movie she has acted in since forever.She's definitely disappointed right now. It'll be hard to console her, so I can't do it,” Nan Chenreplied.
Then, Nan Chen and Ning Ran turned to Dabao.
Dabao sighed. “I knew this was going to happen.”
“You're her brother. She's angry, so you should be the one to console her,” Ning Ran insisted.“That's right,” Nan Chen concurred.
Dabao sighed again. “We have tough times when our parents fight, but even when the two of youare getting along wonderfully, I'm still having a tough time. Are you really targeting me together?I'm just a kid, you know?”
“Rubbish. That is exactly why we are targeting you. How are we going to target you when you growup?” Ning Ran said with a chuckle.
“You can't even win against him even though he's a kid. Would you dare to compete against himwith computers?” Nan Chen remarked.
Ning Ran shot Nan Chen a glare. You're selling me out that quickly?
"What about you? Do you think you're better with computers than him?” Ning Ran retaliated.
Nan Chen turned speechless.
Alas, the smart man had fallen into the trap he dug for someone else.
Dabao peeked at his father before glancing at his mother. Your alliance fell apart rather swiftly.
At that, he put down his chopsticks and ran to Erbao’s room.
"What's the point in watching a movie at night? If we go in the day, we can have some hotpot first.Then, we'll go for ice cream. There is so much good food we can eat before watching the movie.We'll only be there for the movie if we go at night. Do you really want that?” Dabao asked Erbao.Erbao mulled over his words. “We can eat so much good food in the day?”
"Of course! There is plenty of yummy food near the cinema. Don't you know that? But most of themare closed at night, so you won't get to eat them if you go at that time. So, do you still want towatch the movie at night, or do you want to wait until it's daytime?”
“Then I'd rather go in the day. I want to bring all the good food to the cinema so I can watch themovie while I eat them!” Erbao happily announced.
Dabao raised his brows and said, “That's settled, then.”
“No!” Erbao angrily put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
