562 I Am a Substitute
Wu Chengfei had already failed to pat Song Yujin’s head. He could not help but feel a little regretful.
“Song Ci, you’re such a dishonest person.”
“Huh?”
“You’ve practiced acting with Yujin at home, right?”
“I’ve never done that.”
“Is this really his first time acting?”
Song Ci replied honestly, “He’s never even seen a camera before. It’s really his first time.”
Wu Chengfei was shocked. He looked at Song Yujin.
Song Yujin’s face was expressionless.
‘Is he a genius? His future will be bright in the entertainment industry!”
Song Ci shook her head.
“Yujin likes reading more. This is just a summer vacation job. Once it’s over, he’ll return to school. He can decide his own future once he has grown up.”
Wu Chengfei felt that it was a waste.
‘That child has talent.’
Director Chen thought the filming session would last longer, so he had reserved the entire afternoon. Unexpectedly, they finished so much quicker.
‘I can’t just waste the rest of today. Maybe I should bring forward the next few scenes. It’ll allow Yujin to familiarize himself with them.’
Director Chen relayed his thoughts to Wu Chengfei and Song Yujin. Since they had no objections, filming continued.
Song Yujin was very cooperative the entire time. He did not make a fuss or slack off. Additionally, he acted very seriously in every scene.
Director Chen’s fondness for Song Yujin grew.
‘How great would it be if the other child actors were like him?’
Song Ci felt sorry for Song Yujin because he had been filming the entire afternoon. Hence, she asked her assistant to buy some milk tea and desserts.
Of course, it was not only for Song Yujin. Song Ci treated the entire crew to a meal.
Lu Suo ate as he watched Wu Chengfei and Song Yujin act. Then, he looked at Song Ci.
“Sister, when will I get to act with you?”
Song Ci had almost forgotten about this matter. She immediately felt guilty.
After Wu Chengfei and Song Yujin had finished their scene, Song Ci quietly approached Director Chen. She asked him about Lu Suo’s role.
Director Chen thought for a while before making a decision.
“I have an idea. I’ll talk to the screenwriter tonight and update you tomorrow. There’s a chance that Lu Suo will be paid.”
Song Ci was shocked.
“Really?”
Director Chen nodded.
“He’s so good-looking. It’ll be a waste if he’s only a background character.”
“Thank you so much.”
Song Ci smiled.
“There’s no need to thank me. If he wasn’t so good-looking, I wouldn’t have given him this opportunity.”
Director Chen continued, “I’ve never met a child actor who is more obedient than Yujin. Moreover, he’s very talented.”
Song Ci laughed.
“Seriously, he has never acted before. At first, I was worried too.”
“Did you think I’d bully him?”
Director Chen was unhappy.
“Of course not!”
Song Ci instantly shook her head.
Director Chen snorted and shifted his attention to Song Yujin.
‘He’s the personification of Mi Xiaoxue.’
Then, Director Chen deliberately teased Song Ci.
“He’s more like Mi Xiaoxue than you. I might change Mi Xiaoxue’s gender for him.”
Song Ci was like a substitute in comparison to Song Yujin. She said helplessly, “Congratulations on finding the perfect actor.”
Director Chen laughed out loud.
