554 Flower Vase
The next morning, Song Ci went to find the assistant director to give him an update.
When the assistant director heard that Song Yujin was willing to act, he grinned from ear to ear. Then, he happily pulled Song Ci along to find Director Chen.
The assistant director had told Director Chen everything last night. Hence, the latter was a little curious.
“What does your brother look like? Can I see his photo?”
Song Ci took out her phone and showed Song Yujin’s photo.
Director Chen felt that Song Yujin truly resembles Song Ci and fits Mi Xiaoxue’s profile.
“He’ll do just fine.”
“It’s his first time acting. If he makes a mistake, please don’t scold him in front of everyone. His self-esteem might be hurt. Just let me know and I’ll coach him privately.”
Director Chen could not help but laugh.
“You dote on him too much. A boy should be raised tough.”
Song Ci smiled. Song Yujin had already suffered enough. He did not need any more grievances.
“He’s very cold, smart, and sensible. He won’t say anything even if his feelings were hurt. That’s why I don’t want to upset him.”
“Alright, but he needs to memorize the lines. Otherwise, things will be difficult.”
Song Yujin was a child, so Director Chen would not be too strict.
“Don’t worry about that.”
After settling Song Yujin’s issues, Song Ci asked on Lu Suo’s behalf, “Do we only need one child actor in this movie?”
“What are you trying to say?”
Director Chen was confused.
Song Ci scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Yujin has a little brother who likes to do everything together. Hence, he wanted to be part of the movie.”
“What does he look like?”
Song Ci quickly showed Director Chen a photo of Lu Suo.
Director Chen was silent for a moment.
“Why are all the children in your family so good-looking? Is this the most recent photo? Did you edit or apply any filters?”
Director Chen had seen many children, but none of them could be compared to Song Yujin and Lu Suo.
Song Ci tried to retrain her smile, but she was clearly very proud.
“They’re better looking than an average child.”
“I could let him be a younger version of Mi Qiang or Huang Su, but he’s so different from them.”
Song Ci could not retort. Lu Suo’s style was indeed different from Wu Chengfei’s and Qin Yanxing’s.
Director Chen said honestly, “If he really wants to be in this movie, it’s not impossible. After all, he’s adorable. He can be a background character with no lines. However, we won’t pay him. Are you alright with that?”
“I’ll go and ask him.”
Director Chen nodded.
“We don’t need another child actor. I’m only doing this for you out of goodwill. If he disagrees with this arrangement, he can try again when there’s a suitable role next time.”
Basically, Lu Suo was a flower vase for decorations.
Director Chen had tried his best to accommodate Song Ci. If he did anymore, he would be abusing his power.
Song Ci did not care about the payment. Lu Suo was not short of money. Besides, she could just fork out the payment herself.
Lu Suo only wanted to play with Song Yujin and that was it.
