When Shi Ning thought Mu Shaochen wasn't interested and wouldn't pick it up.

He raised his hand and took the tablet.

Shi Ning did not set a password. He easily unlocked the screen with just one swipe.

Seeing him standing there reading the script, Avril grabbed his sleeve and pulled him to sit down, "Since we are all acquaintances, let's eat together."

After saying that, she looked at Director Liu and said, "Director, you don't mind, do you?"

Director Liu is not a lecherous person, but he is no match for the offensive of beautiful women.

He glanced at Shi Ning and saw that there was no sign of rejection on her face, so he nodded immediately, "Of course I don't mind."

However, after Mu Shaochen was dragged to sit down by Avril, he instinctively wanted to free his sleeves from her hands.

But I don't know what I thought of, so I didn't continue to break free.

He let Avril pull him to sit down before looking at Shi Ning.

Just as the waiter came to serve the food, Shi Ning tilted his head slightly and spoke to Director Liu, "Director Liu, the dishes we ordered before may not be enough for four people. Do we want to order more?"

"need."

Director Liu is very good at being a good person.

He immediately handed the menu to Mu Shaochen, "Mr. Mu, take a look and order some of your favorites."

Mu Shaochen put down the tablet, reached out and took the menu and handed it to Avril, "Ms. Avril, let's see what you want to eat."

"Mu, you are too outspoken."

Avril puffed up her cheeks like a cute little hamster, "I said, you can call me Avril, or Weier."

A title that directly pushed their relationship away by thousands of feet, as if to cut off all possibilities between them.

Sometimes she suspected that Mu Shaochen was an emotionless idiot who would remain indifferent no matter how he flirted with her.

"When do you plan to start filming this script?"

Mu Shaochen ignored Avril's words.

He took the menu back, ordered a few dishes at random and asked the waiter to take the menu away, and then looked at Director Liu to ask.

"We have to select castings and prepare for the opening ceremony. It will take two months at the earliest."

Director Liu rubbed his chin, wondering why Mu Shaochen suddenly asked this.

He and Shi Ning are meeting now just to discuss the script sharing and some contract details.

That's why Shi Ning was not in a hurry to give him the script.

"The actors will be chosen first from our company, is that okay?"

After sitting down, Mu Shaochen formally looked at Shi Ning for the first time.

Sitting next to him, Avril Lavigne also took the opportunity to cast her gaze on Shi Ning, looking at her with a non-malicious look in her eyes, "Is this the screenwriter who won the first prize in the Newcomer Screenwriting Competition?"

She covered her mouth exaggeratedly, her eyes full of admiration, "I always thought that the screenwriters who would win the award would be either with unkempt beards, or young people with pale faces and melancholy. I never thought that the first place winner would be so young and beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm honored that I can correct your incorrect understanding of the profession of screenwriter."

Shi Ning nodded and smiled at her politely.

Writing novels and screenplays also requires listening and reading more.

In order to write a good script, many screenwriters will consult a large amount of information and documents, hike mountains, exercise, participate in some outdoor sports, and go to many museums and shows to enrich their knowledge.

It is no longer the common people's impression that slovenliness is described as an artistic home.

Seeing that Mu Shaochen was still looking at her, as if waiting for her answer, Shi Ning pondered for a moment, "Okay, but I also have a request."

Since he mentioned it first, she was not in a hurry to eat.

Anyway, the food I just ordered won’t be served for a while.

Mu Shaochen raised his eyebrows and looked like he was listening attentively.

Shi Ning glanced at Director Liu and saw that he was also looking at her. He simply gave up the idea of ​​getting chopsticks and sat up straight. "If there is no suitable artist in this place, I will audition."

"nature."

Mu Shaochen nodded, "I only ask Si Xing to have priority, and I don't require Si Xing's artists to be used."

Shi Ning put forward the second condition, "I want to participate in the casting audition. I have to have a veto power on whether the actor should go or stay."

“A veto won’t work.”

Mu Shaochen frowned, "You can participate in the audition, and your request can also be used as an important reference, but I'm afraid it won't work if you have veto power."

Everyone has different likes and dislikes.

If she dislikes someone, or if someone offends her during filming and she is kicked out of the crew, it will be a loss to the crew.

He felt that he was talking about the matter and questioning it reasonably.

But when he saw Shi Ning's dim eyes for a moment, he felt inexplicably guilty.

Before he could open his mouth to make amends, Shi Ning had already smiled and said, "I can guarantee that I will not arbitrarily deny anyone because of personal factors."

She was obviously smiling, but Mu Shaochen felt that she was sad for no reason, and felt a little stuck in his heart.

But she had already said that, and he could only nod his head to show that he had no objection.

Avril, who was standing next to her, chirped in support of Shi Ning, "As the creator of the script, I think you should have a veto power. After all, no one knows the characters you write better than you, right?"

Although Avril Lavigne talks a lot, she is not annoying.

The few people had just finalized the cooperation agreement when the dishes Mu Shaochen ordered later were served.

Director Liu warmly greeted everyone to eat first.

No one else moved their chopsticks until Mu Shaochen picked up the chopsticks.

"This is delicious, Mu, try it."

Avril rarely eats national dishes. When she tasted one she liked the taste, she picked up a pair of unused chopsticks next to her and gave them to Mu Shaochen.

"Hmm... I like the taste. Don't just watch it, don't you think it's a blasphemy against the food?"

"Mu, I'm in love with country A. There are so many delicious foods, I'm worried that I will gain weight..."

Avril Lavigne is clearly not in the habit of staying silent while eating and sleeping, and is very happy to share.

The two pairs of chopsticks switched seamlessly. After taking a few bites, he had to pick up a chopstick for Mu Shaochen, who seemed to have little appetite.

Even though Mu Shaochen frowned and put the dishes aside, it did not affect her enthusiasm for sharing at all.

And because of her enthusiastic voice, the atmosphere at the dinner table didn't seem too dull.

Even Shi Ning, who saw her admiration for Mu Shaochen, could not dislike her.

Avril Lavigne is an easy-to-like person.

When others do something noisy or annoying, she appears to be frank, cute, and enthusiastic.

Even Mu Shaochen, who never liked others getting close to him, just calmly pushed away the food she had brought to him under such an offensive.

When Mu Shaochen treated Avril, he was just as indifferent to her and didn't interact much.

But looking at this scene, Shi Ning was still sad.

"That's right, Aning."

Probably unwilling to lose the home court to Avril Lavigne, Director Liu swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Shi Ning.

Because of this title, Mu Shaochen paused with the chopsticks in his hand and subconsciously looked at Shi Ning.

Shi Ning also stopped his chopsticks and looked at Director Liu, with a questioning look in his eyes.
