555 Adding Flowers to the Brocade
Song Ci relayed Director Chen’s message to Lu Suo.
“Little Suo, you can now act with your brother. Are you happy?”
Lu Suo was pleasantly surprised.
“Mommy, did you ask the director? I’m fine even if I don’t get to act in the movie.”
Song Ci smiled.
“I didn’t ask. The director just thought your brother might be lonely, so he wanted you to accompany him. By the way, they’ll be mainly filming your brother. You won’t have many scenes and will only appear for a few seconds in the movie. Are you okay with that?”
“Only a few seconds?”
Lu Suo was astonished. Regardless, he wanted to play with Song Yujin so he agreed.
Song Ci quickly added, “Also, your character doesn’t like to talk so you don’t have any lines.”
Lu Suo thought to himself, ‘A character that doesn’t talk? That’s basically my brother. I get to act like him! That’s not bad!’
Hence, Lu Suo replied happily, “Sure!”
“You won’t cry from the lack of screentime, right?”
Lu Suo pouted.
“I won’t.”
“Good.”
Song Ci finally felt at ease.
“How often will my brother appear on screen?”
“I’m not sure.”
Song Yujin just wanted to make money. The rest did not matter to him.
Suddenly, Song Yujin asked, “Will Little Suo be paid?”
Song Ci replied with a smile, “Of course.”
Lu Suo’s eyes curved into crescents. He could not help but ask, “How much?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Song Ci tapped Lu Suo’s nose.
“Is it going to be the same amount as my brother’s?”
“That’s right.”
Song Ci nodded.
Lu Gan watched silently. He felt that something did not make sense.
‘The assistant director said that only one child actor was needed. Why did they suddenly require two? They’re also going to pay Little Suo? It’s too good to be true.’
While the children were occupied, Lu Gan asked Song Ci in a low voice, “Will Little Suo really be paid?”
Song Ci raised his eyebrows at Lu Gan.
“What? You don’t believe me?”
Lu Gan said reasonably, “I don’t. This movie isn’t produced by Sunlight Media. The director doesn’t have any unspeakable feelings for you. Why would he add an unnecessary character and even offer a pay? Business isn’t that lucrative.”
Song Ci laughed. She could not fool Lu Gan.
“You’re right. Lu Suo won’t be paid.”
“I knew it. You were just trying to spare his feelings and planned to fork out the money by yourself.”
Song Ci nodded.
“I’ll just say that both of their salaries were transferred to me. Then, I’ll give them the money. It’s a flawless plan.”
Lu Gan ruffled Song Ci’s hair.
“Did you also make up about the character who doesn’t talk? I’m guessing he’s a background extra with no lines.”
“Don’t word it in such a way. Director Chen said that Lu Suo is adorable. He’s simply adding flowers to the brocade.”
Lu Gan smiled and pulled Song Ci into his arms.
‘She’s such a gentle and considerate woman.’
Lu Gan looked at Song Ci and pressed his forehead against hers. His eyes were full of love. Subsequently, he kissed her on the lips.
…
Song Yujin memorized the lines and informed Song Ci about his progress during breakfast.
Song Ci was a little surprised.
“You memorized everything already?”
“There aren’t many lines, so it’s quite easy.”
Song Ci could not help but be impressed with Song Yujin.
“Alright. I’ll inform the director that you’re ready.”
