Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 180: The Little Mute Actually Made Something of Himself?

Although she left early, she was still recognized when she came out. After recognizing her, someone gave Little Bei a bun without hesitation and told her she should not starve.

This bun made everyone look at her, and then she was recognized again. Everyone recognized Xiao Jiu. Little Bei was stuffed with a sweet potato and a small bunch of peanuts and was again told that she should not go hungry.

Since Little Bei had acted pitifully in the movie, everyone associated her role in the movie with reality. When they saw Little Bei, their hearts ached for her, and they wanted to give her something.

Little Bei said that she wasn’t hungry and wanted to return it all, but she couldn’t catch up to them.

“Mommy, what should we do?” In the end, she asked Mu Jingzhe what to do while holding the food in her hands. Her little face was filled with confusion and indescribable excitement. “Mommy, I feel strange. I’m very happy but I also feel strange.”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She also felt warm. “They’re all good-hearted people who immersed themselves in the plot. You should just keep it. This is an affirmation of your acting skills. In the future, you’ll have to carry this feeling with you. This way, you will portray your roles better.”

It looked like Little Bei was really famous now. Not only was she recognized on the street, but many people also contacted Mu Jingzhe to send her scripts for consideration. Many invitations were still on the way, and she was currently choosing a good script with Little Bei.

“Let’s go home first. If I take you out again, you might have to wear a hat.”

When they got home, Mu Jingzhe took a photo of Little Bei with the buns, sweet potatoes, and peanuts to remember this moment.

As for the food, she thought that it shouldn’t be poisoned. She tried it but didn’t find anything wrong with it. In the end, Little Bei ate it.

More and more people started contacting Little Bei, and Mu Jingzhe had to keep in touch with her business contacts as well. She couldn’t keep using the village phone, so Mu Jingzhe simply bought a pager. Although it was limited compared to a cell phone, it was indeed much more convenient.

The last winter break passed quickly. Because of the success of the movie, Little Bei even received a few advertisement offers.

However, these advertisers varied. Mu Jingzhe didn’t treat Little Bei as a money tree. She treasured Little Bei’s reputation and didn’t accept offers casually. After some consideration, she only accepted a job with a relatively large brand with a good reputation.

When the advertiser saw that Little Bei and Mu Jingzhe had chosen their brand, he was very sincere. When the commercial shoot was finished, Little Bei earned another sum of money. action

As soon as the commercial started airing, Little Bei’s face would be remembered by even more people. Even those who hadn’t watched the movie would also get to know her face. She would become a household name.

Following that, Director Lu also sent a major piece of good news. The movie, Xiao Jiu, had been nominated at the most influential and prestigious film festival in the country. This movie was also nominated in overseas film festivals, including one of the top three film festivals in the world.

Although the results weren’t out yet and would take some time, a nomination was a form of affirmation and glory.

Director Lu was over the moon. When he called, he was so excited that he was incoherent. He sounded like he was crying and laughing at the same time. “I knew it would be shortlisted. This is awesome. Jingzhe, you must bring Little Bei and Xiao Wu to the film festival award ceremony to receive the award. If Little Bei wins the award, she will break the record and become the youngest movie queen in our country.

“Also, no one knows that Xiao Wu is only four years old. In order to maintain the mystery around her, I never said anything about it. If everyone saw Xiao Wu, they would definitely be shocked.”

Toward the end, Director Lu’s tone suddenly became cautious. “However, Jingzhe, if Xiao Wu shows up, he will definitely shock the entire country. When that time comes, he might be in the public eye, just like Little Bei. He will bear the reputation of a musical genius.”

Mu Jingzhe was also thrilled. Just like in the , Little Bei was nominated this time. She believed that Little Bei would definitely be crowned the youngest movie queen. However, she asked, “Did Xiao Wu get nominated too?”

“Right, Little Bei was nominated for the Best Female Lead, and Xiao Wu was nominated for the Best Original Score. If the media reports this, the siblings will become famous.

“Even if Xiao Wu wasn’t nominated, he’d still be the youngest musician. He can compose such music at four years old and play so many musical instruments. He’s totally a musical genius. When the time comes, he will definitely steal the limelight.

“Most importantly, this is not only domestically. I heard that the foreign film festivals are also very optimistic about Xiao Wu’s original score.”

Music had no boundaries, and good music was indeed like that. Therefore, even though it was only his first time doing this, Xiao Wu had already produced terrific results.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Jingzhe was overjoyed as she looked at Xiao Wu and Little Bei. “Aiyo, how can there be treasures like you in this world?”

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help hugging them and kissing them on both cheeks. “I love you to death.”

Xiao Wu and Little Bei kissed Mu Jingzhe’s cheeks at the same time. “We love Mommy too.”

“No, I’m too excited. I have to vent. Let’s go buy fabric. Although the award ceremony hasn’t started, we can prepare in advance. I want to design the most beautiful outfits for you so that you’ll be the most beautiful and handsome people there.”

Mu Jingzhe happily took Xiao Wu and Little Bei to buy fabric. Fortunately, there was a good variety of fabrics in the county city. Whatever she couldn’t find there, Mu Jingzhe planned to buy in the city some other day.

Seeing that someone had recognized Little Bei, Mu Jingzhe quickly led them away, only to bump into a reporter at the entrance of the department store.

The news of Little Bei being nominated for the film festival had spread. Seeing that Little Bei was from their city and she was so young, the city’s television station reporters felt that this was newsworthy, so they’d sent a reporter down.

The reporter had gone to the art school first and seen that she wasn’t there. He had happened to hear someone say that they had seen Little Bei at the department store and had thus come over.

This was the first time a reporter had stopped Little Bei for an interview. When the people around saw the commotion, a large group of people instantly gathered at the door.

It was difficult to interview her with so many people around. In the end, they went into the department store and found a quiet place.

The reporter from the broadcasting station conducted a formal interview. Little Bei didn’t even need Mu Jingzhe to teach her, as she could answer by herself. The reporter even asked about the composer, Shao Zhong, and whether they knew him.

Little Bei looked at Xiao Wu and shook her head when she recalled that Director Lu had asked them to keep it a secret.

After the reporter bade them farewell, Mu Jingzhe was about to leave with Little Bei and Xiao Wu when she turned around and saw Zhao Lan and Shao Qiyun. Mu Jingzhe frowned at the sight of them.

Not these two again.

Zhao Lan and Shao Qiyun were staring at them in disbelief.

They had heard the reporter’s question. The reporter didn’t know who Shao Zhong was, but they knew very well that Shao Zhong was Xiao Wu.

They knew that Little Bei had acted in a movie and had made something of herself, but they hadn’t expected her to become so successful that the broadcasting station would take an interest in interviewing her. Furthermore, Xiao Wu was also involved in this.

“How is this possible? How can this be…” Zhao Lan muttered, unable to accept this.

Next to her, Shao Qiyun had an even uglier expression. She stared at Xiao Wu with a strange look in her eyes. Xiao Wu was frightened by her gaze and couldn’t help but hide behind Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe quickly picked Xiao Wu up. “Don’t be afraid.”

She didn’t want to waste her breath on them, so she was about to leave with Xiao Wu in her arms when Shao Qiyun stopped her. “What did the reporter mean when he asked Shao Zhong this question just now? What has he done?”

He had previously been a little mute who couldn’t even speak. Why was he so promising now? Was this a joke?
