My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 482

A week later.

Nan Chen was attending the opening ceremony for the film I Am You.

After the ceremony was over, all the staff and crew members gathered around for dinner and refreshments.

Nan Chen excused himself as he had something else to take care of. Being the lead actress, however, Ning Ran had to be present.

At first, she was somewhat worried that she would be ostracized due to the negative rumors about her.

She soon discovered that her concerns were unnecessary, as everyone, including the production team, came to greet her and congratulate her.

There wasn’t a single mention of the negative rumors whatsoever.

Of course, the one that was most excited to see her was none other than Tang Jing.

Ouyang Qing was the one who arranged for Tang Jing to be a part of the film. She was to play the part of Ning Ran’s colleague in a lab, a character responsible for what happened to Ning Ran’s child in the plot.

Tang Jing was very satisfied with her role as it suited the highly educated vibes she gave off.

Ning Ran’s popularity had shot up ever since Sound of Thunder 2 became a huge hit, but that wasn’t the case for Tang Jing.

The audience found Ning Ran’s character to be a lot better than Tang Jing’s as the latter’s acting came off as being too forced.

As frustrated as Tang Jing was, she couldn’t do a thing about it.

That was simply the norm in the entertainment industry where only a few were famous.

Now that she had Ouyang Qing to back her up, Tang Jing was determined to make a name for herself.

Although she wasn’t sure how much it cost Ouyang Qing to get her a role in the film, she knew for sure that it was only possible because of Ouyang Qing.

In return, she had promised to do Ouyang Qing a little favor.

Ning Ran soon found herself overwhelmed by the number of toasts she was receiving from everyone.

I’ll get wasted if I keep drinking like this, and I don’t want that! The shooting starts tomorrow, and it’d be humiliating if I were to show up late on the first day!

Tang Jing stood up and helped receive some of the toasts on her behalf. “Please go easy on Ding with the toasts, guys. She won’t be able to attend the shoot tomorrow if she gets drunk, you know?”

“How about you drink it for her, then? You guys worked on a show before, so you should help her out!”

“All right… I’m not really good at holding my liquor, but I’ll do it for Ding! She’s the star of the show, after all!”

With that, Tang Jing downed the entire glass in one go.

“Wohoo! Yeah!” The crowd cheered in response.

Ning Ran didn’t want Tang Jing to keep taking shots for her either. “Hey, I think we should stop drinking for today. We’ve got to work tomorrow.”

There were over a dozen departments in the production team, and staff members from each and every one of them kept coming over to deliver their toasts.

Of course, they weren’t intentionally trying to get her drunk or anything. They simply wanted to get closer to her as she was rumored to be dating Nan Chen, the man who invested a huge fortune in this film just for her.

To them, Ning Ran was someone closely associated with the Nan family, and they all wanted to get behind that ridiculously strong source of support.

Even by only taking tiny sips for each toast, Ning Ran still found herself getting tipsy as there were simply too many of them.

I shouldn’t drink any more… I have to stay alert… Ning Ran reminded herself.
