Chapter 545 Even A Pig Can Be Famous

Ning Ran couldn’t speak frankly, as she was worried that Nan Chen would object.

She felt as if her concerns might make her come off as being narcissistic.

After all, Nan Chen might not even be bothered by them strutting down the red carpet together.

Nevertheless, given how experienced Wang Xiaoou was, she quickly saw through Ning Ran’s hesitation.

“Even though we have yet to report this matter to Mr. Chen, I don’t see him objecting to this. Huang Zichao is an

international megastar. Considering our current reputation, you would gain a lot by being his companion on the red

carpet.”

Pausing for a moment, she then continued, “By doing so, all the fashion magazines and online media will publish

photos of both of you together. After all, it’s not like they can edit you away just to have Huang Zichao in the

photograph alone. Therefore, I’m sure Mr. Chen won’t reject such a wonderful plan.”

Having heard Wang Xiaoou’s words, Ning Ran felt embarrassed.

“It’s just my personal opinion. Perhaps, he doesn’t even care about something this trivial,” Ning Ran replied

awkwardly.

“No, you do have a point there. We should report this to Mr. Chen first and only respond to Huang Zichao’s agent

once we have his agreement.”

Without hesitation, she said, “In that case, I’ll have to take a rain check on this meal. We’ll celebrate again after you

walk the red carpet. For now, I need to go back to the office for a meeting to discuss the details of the awards

ceremony.”

“Ou, sorry for the trouble.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m just doing my job. Once you become a megastar, all my effort would have been worth it,”

Wang Xiaoou replied with a smile.

“What if I fail to become famous?” Ning Ran joked.

“That’s impossible,” Wang Xiaoou declared confidently.

“What makes you think that I’ll definitely make it big?”

“Do you know what conditions a celebrity must have to become famous?” Wang Xiaoou asked.

“Acting skills? Talent?” Ning Ran answered.

Wang Xiaoou shook her head. “Those are secondary.”

“So, what conditions does one need?”

“Resources. That’s the most important factor. The artiste per se is secondary. With massive resources, even a pig

can become famous. As for the extent and duration of one’s fame, that will depend on the artist’s true strength.”

Ning Ran’s expression turned grim. “Ou, why do you have to make it sound so insulting? If even a pig can become

famous, wouldn’t I, an actress, be of the same level as an animal?”

Wang Xiaoou burst into laughter. “I’m just quoting you an example. Since you asked me why I’m so certain about

you becoming famous, I’m just telling you that it’s the unlimited resources that Mr. Chen provides. Combined with

your acting skills, it would be impossible for you not to. Therefore, I’m not saying that you’re a pig. After all, even a

top-tier agent like me can’t turn a pig into a megastar.”

“Fine. Even then, I still feel that I’m no different from a pig after what you said.” Ning Ran smiled wryly.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going off now. I’ll get in touch if I hear anything,” Wang Xiaoou replied with a grin.

That day, Ning Ran managed to finish work early and got home by six.

Just when she was about to cook, the maid told her not to, as Nan Chen had arranged for dinner to be delivered.

After all, he was cognizant that Ning Ran would be tired after a long day and needed the rest.

Ning Ran was indeed exhausted. After getting a shower, she lay on the sofa, watching TV. Subsequently, she began

to think about the script.

At the same time, Erbao and Dabao stayed closely by her side.

Having stayed at home the entire day, both of them were bored to death.

Therefore, when Ning Ran finally returned home, they wanted her to play with them.

“Mommy, this actress isn’t as good as you. Not only are her expressions too dramatic, but she also isn’t as pretty as

you.”

Pointing at the TV, Erbao tried to make a conversation.

Not in the mood to watch trashy soap operas, Ning Ran grunted in acknowledgment as her mind was still on the

script.

“Mommy, when will Daddy be home?” Erbao continued the conversation.

“I don’t know. Why don’t you give him a call?”

“Mommy, it’s been a long time since we saw Blondie. What is he doing? Why doesn’t he visit us?” Erbao asked.

Having been reminded of Zheng Lunlun, Ning Ran realized that it had been a while since they last saw him. Hence,

she wondered if he was filming a new show.

“I’ll ask him later.”

“Mommy…”

Unable to stay quiet, Erbao kept peppering Ning Ran with mundane questions.

Naturally, Ning Ran empathized with her. After all, she was a chatty person and had no one to talk to at home.

Therefore, Ning Ran didn’t blame the child and tried her best to humor Erbao instead.

However, Dabao couldn’t tolerate it any further. “Mommy’s tired, so stop bothering her and let her rest.”

Puffing her cheeks, Erbao retorted, “I’m only chatting with Mommy. It’s not going to tire her out.”

“It’s all right. Go on. I’ll chat with you. I know how much you love to talk.”

“Mommy, can you take me to the film site tomorrow?” Erbao broached the topic again.

“Why do you insist on going there? What’s the real reason for doing so?” Ning Ran was curious.

“I’m envious of the kids who act in the movie. It’s amazing how they get to appear in the movie even though

they’re not much older than I am,” Erbao explained.

Ning Ran pulled Erbao into her arms. “Filming is tiring work. What’s there to be envious about? Is it because you just

want to be on TV?”

“Not exactly. I just like being there,” Erbao answered.

If Erbao really enjoys it, I can let her act as one of the children in the show. Having both mother and daughter

acting in the show would be a meaningful activity. But I’m just not sure if Old Master Nan will approve of it.

Until she got it sorted, Ning Ran didn’t dare tell Erbao about her plan, for she was worried that Erbao would be

disappointed if it didn’t come to fruition.

More importantly, Erbao wasn’t just any ordinary kid. She was a member of the Nan family. Therefore, any decision

had to be taken with caution.

“Mommy, do you look down upon movie actors too? Grandma looks down on you because you’re an actress.

Therefore, do you think acting in movies is bad?” Erbao remarked as she looked at Ning Ran.

Even though it was just innocent child speak, Erbao’s words struck a chord with Ning Ran.

Erbao is right. It’s one thing for others to look down upon actors, but how can I share their sentiments as an actress

myself? If I’m truly not biased against my work, why am I stopping Erbao from acting since that’s what she likes?

“I enjoy and respect my career. In fact, I’m proud to be an actress,” Ning Ran replied candidly.

“In that case, can I be an actress just like you in the future?” Erbao asked.

“We’ll talk about that when the time comes. If you’re still interested by then, I’ll definitely support you. However,

you have to know that underneath all that glamor is a lot of hard work. Moreover, there will be people like Grandma

who look down upon actors. They will also contribute to the stress,” Ning Ran explained patiently.

“I understand that. Even on the internet, there are plenty of people who ridicule you. Therefore, you should ignore

baddies like them,” Erbao fumed.

“Ignore who?”

As the door opened, Nan Chen walked in.
