In the afternoon, Qin Mian and his family did not go out. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were watching television in the living room.
Lei Tia sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and the laptop on his lap. His right hand was skilfully sliding across the touch screen, he didn't look like someone who had only learned how to use a laptop for three days.
Qin Mian came out of the kitchen with the sliced fruit, inexplicably jealous of the notebook on his knees. He walked over in a few steps and sat on the armrest of the sofa, staring at the man without saying a word.
Lei Tia raised his head, a smile flickering in his eyes, he casually placed the notebook on the tea table and embraced his wife's waist, gently moving her into his embrace and sealing his lips.
Qin Mian opened his eyes wide and glanced at his two sons. After confirming that they were still focused on the TV show, he relaxed and placed his arms around the man's shoulders, replying to him wholeheartedly.
"Go back to your room?" Lei Tia's hoarse voice blew into Qin Mian's cochlea.
Qin Mian trembled, and shook his head while gasping for air, "It's still broad daylight..." That being said, he took a long, wistful sip of the man's lips before sitting down beside him as if nothing had happened. Their scalding hands were still tightly clasped, relieving the urge within them.
"Father." Lei Ruilin pulled Qin Ruiqi's hand and moved closer to Qin Mian.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mian pulled back his hand and moved the fruit plate over, hinting at his two sons to eat some fruits.
"Dad, I want to make a movie. I want to make a movie too." Lei Ruilin pointed to the little boy who was crying in the corner of the TV, looking wronged.
Qin Mian recalled the man who claimed to be the director last time, "Why did you suddenly remember this?"
Lei Ruilin said: "Filming a movie is very fun."
Qin Mian asked his eldest son, "Ruilin, are you interested too?"
Qin Ruiqi nodded, "If there is a chance, I want to try."
Lei Tia searched for "Chen Yue" online. There were photos of him, which indicated that he was indeed the person he had met in the park, and a profile of him. He was a famous director in the country and had directed many popular movies before.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia had the ability to protect the two children, since the two children were interested in filming, they might as well experience it.
"Yes, but once you are involved in a series of activities to make a movie, you have less time to study. Your dad and I don't insist that you get first or second place, but we don't want you to be at the bottom of the class in the future." Qin Mian's words were gentle but did not lose out in severity.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin looked at each other with faces full of confidence.
Qin Ruiqi was the first to state his stance, "Daddy, don't worry."
"My brother and I will supervise each other." Lei Ruilin immediately said.
Qin Mian found Chen Yue's name card and called his number.
"Who is it?" The voice on the other end was a bit agitated.
Qin Mian said: "Hello, Director Chen. We met in the park last time."
"You are the father of little friend Lei Ruilin!" Chen Yue asked in surprise, "You agreed to what we said last time?"
Qin Mian did not deny, "My son is interested in making movies, but he has no experience in acting."
"That's okay, you can learn it." Chen Yue said decisively, "I'm in S City right now, there's an audition activity over here, come over right now."
"What is the address?" "Alright, goodbye."
The family cleaned up a bit before driving towards the address that Chen Yue told them to. Lei Tia had already gotten his driver's license. Ever since he got his driver's license, most of the drivers for the entire family when they went out of the house were him.
Chen Yue was famous in the circle for his sharp eyes, the people he had chosen were almost all suitable after the audition. The last time he had met Lei Ruilin, he had always thought of Chen Yue as the "lackey", and he had felt that it was against his will to let anyone else act the lackey's part. That day, after he left his name card for Lei Ruilin's father, he did not receive a call from the other party. Since time was money, the investors could not wait for him indefinitely. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he still heard good news.
Assistant Director Zhang Qiong and the representative sent by the investors, Sun Jianwen, noticed that after Chen Yue received a call, he was obviously excited.
Zhang Qiong asked, "Director Chen, what kind of joyous event has happened? Even the wrinkles have come out to join in the fun."
"You'll know in a moment." Chen Yue did not speak the truth. Lei Ruilin's appearance and personality were very suitable, but whether or not it had the flexibility in acting, would have to wait until after seeing his audition.
He took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant, Little Zhou, asking him to insert Lei Ruilin's name into the list of examinees.
Qin Mian, Lei Tia, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin arrived at Hui Hong building and took the elevator to the 18th floor. There were more than 30 young boys accompanied by adults in the meeting room. They were all around seven or eight years old and all of them had good looks. No one spoke and the atmosphere was quite tense.
When the adults saw Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin, they all felt a sense of crisis. The temperament and looks of these two children were too good.
Lei Ruilin was excited, but he maintained his composure and sat on the chair.
Qin Ruiqi understood that the director had taken a liking to his younger brother.
One by one, the little boys were escorted by their parents into a nearby room. After they came out, they were all a bit depressed.
A middle-aged man with glasses pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, looking around at the group, "Is Lei Ruilin here?"
"He's coming." Lei Ruilin stood up and smiled at him.
"It's your turn."
"Thank you." Lei Ruilin thanked him politely.
When the middle-aged man saw that he and the other child were twins, his gaze lingered for a few more seconds.
Qin Mian stepped forward, "Hello, we are his family, can we go in together?"
"Of course." The middle-aged man nodded.
When Qin Mian's family of four entered, the eyes of Chen Yue, Zhang Qiong and Sun Jianwen lit up. This family's looks and temperament were so outstanding that any one of them could make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. They did not allow any other celebrities a chance to live.
Chen Yue stared at Qin Ruiqi and him for a while before he could figure out which one was Lei Ruilin. Although the two brothers looked the same, their auras were clearly different. Qin Ruiqi was cold, but Lei Ruilin was warm.
Qin Mian nodded to Chen Yue and the others, and stood by the side with Lei Tia and the others.
Lei Ruilin confidently walked to the middle of the group and faced Chen Yue and the other two, "Hello uncles, my name is Lei Ruilin and I am eight years old this year, I am here to audition."
Zhang Qiong nodded to himself. Looking at his calm demeanor and intelligent eyes, he already had a feeling that something was off.
Chen Yue then explained to Lei Ruilin, "Little friend, please act out a scene for us to see. The character you want to play is called Bundle. In the script, there is a scene where a bad guy comes to your door and tries to snatch a very important chip from your brother. But your brother has a gunshot wound, so you have to draw the opponent's attention to yourself."
He got his assistant, Xiao Zhou, and another staff member, Xiao Liu to work with Lei Ruilin and asked Lei Ruilin gently, "Can we start now?"
Lei Ruilin courteously invited Xiao Zhou, who was acting the big brother, to stand in front of Chen Yue and the other two, then nodded and said, "I'm ready."
To think that such a young child would have such a strong sense of reflection. Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong looked at each other in joy and indicated to Xiao Liu.
Little Liu made a motion of kicking the door open as she arrogantly said to Little Chen, "Chen Kai, if you know what's good for you, hand the A. I. Chip over. Otherwise, I'll show you who's boss!"
Lei Ruilin's expression changed, he immediately hid behind Xiao Zhou, and after that, as though he realised something, he seemed to be feeling guilty, and stuck out half of his head from his small body, with his hands on his lower abdomen, holding onto his legs, he acted as though he was in a hurry to pee, and said to Xiao Zhou in a low voice: "Brother, I want to pee."
Little Monday was stu ed.
However, Lei Ruilin didn't wait for him to react and quickly rushed out of the room while glancing at Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu subconsciously took a few steps forward, came back to his senses, and stopped again.
Zhang Qiong couldn't help but clap his hands together, "Alright!"
"It's him. You all should have no objections, right?" Chen Yue laughed, his eyes looking back and forth between Zhang Qiong and Sun Jianwen.
Zhang Qiong and Sun Jianwen both shook their heads. They were very satisfied with Lei Ruilin's performance, and even believed in his judgement.
The matter of Lei Ruilin playing the role of a lackey was decided just like that.
Xiao Zhou took the folder and walked in front of Qin Mian, "Hello. Because Lei Ruilin was not an adult yet, he needed his guardian to sign the contract. May I know which one of you is Lei Ruilin's guardian? "
Qin Mian took out his and Lei Tia's documents and handed it over to him, "We both are."
Little Zhou looked at his ID and nodded.
"Take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, sign on the last page."
After Qin Mian read through all the terms carefully, he straightforwardly signed all three contracts.
Little Zhou passed the script to him, "This is the script, let the children get familiar with it. We'll contact you again when the computer is turned on."
Lei Ruilin cheered happily when he got on the car. "I can make a movie now!"
Qin Mian smiled and handed the contract over to him, "Let's see if you can understand this. Ruiqi, take a look at this too. If you have the chance to make a movie or television show in the future, it can be used as a reference."
The two brothers looked at the contents of the contract with their heads together.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia discussed, "Your son's performance today is not bad.
Lei Tia said: "It's not as good as what you do."
Qin Mianxin was proud, "Really?"
"Yes." Lei Tia nodded.
Qin Mian felt comfortable, "Alright, I'll do it when I get home."
