572 Tied Together
Song Yujin and Lu Suo were too young to make such decisions. Moreover, education needed to be prioritized. If they were not on break, Song Ci would not even consider letting them act.
Director Chen understood where Song Ci was coming from and stopped persuading her.
“Alright. However, I’ll let you know if there are opportunities during school breaks.”
“We’ll see.”
Song Ci smiled. It would work if the timing was suitable and the children were willing. Besides, it was not like their family was short on money.
Lu Suo was only trying on the costume today. His scene would only be filmed tomorrow.
Director Chen began discussing the preparation work.
It was the movie’s final scene.
Mi Qiang, Huang Su, and Mi Xiaoxue had finally arrived at their destination. It was a small village in the mountains. This was the place where they had agreed to travel to with their sister when they were young.
Before Mi Lai died, she asked her daughter to visit this place with Mi Qiang and Huang Su in her stead.
Mi Xiaoxue remembered that Mi Lai had also asked her to take many photos. Hence, she asked the villagers about scenic spots. An old man told her, “The scene atop the mountain is fantastic.”
Then, the old man led them over.
Atop the mountain, there was an ancient tree. Despite being old, the tree was tall, strong, and thick. In other words, it was great for taking photos.
Soon, the sun began to set. Mi Xiaoxue felt like her mother had been reborn!
Director Chen and the scriptwriter decided to change the old man’s character.
“It would be his grandson who led them atop the mountain.”
Children were like a symbol of hope for the new generation. Hence, it fitted the theme better. Moreover, the audience would prefer to look at a cute child than an old man.
Director Chen had already chosen a suitable location for this scene. It looked great but was also not that popular.
When Lu Suo heard about the scenic spot, he immediately became excited.
“So we’re going elsewhere to play?”
Song Ci replied with a smile, “There’s work to be done but after that, we can play.”
“Yay!”
Lu Suo quickly ran to pack his bag.
Lu Gan looked at Lu Suo’s happy face and smiled.
“You’re going to be filming in a small village, right?”
“Yes, and I’m going to strive for perfection! That way, we’ll have more time to play with the children.”
Lu Gan nodded.
Lu Suo and Song Yujin packed their bags together. They brought along many snacks.
Song Ci brought a few thick clothes for the children. It may be summer, but the mountains could still be relatively cold. She did not want them to catch a cold.
That night, the family of four rested early. The next day, they headed to set.
In the car, Lu Suo pushed Lu Gan and Song Ci together.
“Daddy, you should sit with my sister.”
After saying that, Lu Suo pulled Song Yujin closer to him.
“I’ll sit with my brother. Children should stick together!”
“…”
Song Ci whispered to Lu Gan, “Little Suo likes to tie us together.”
Lu Gan deliberately replied, “Is there something wrong with that?”
“Of course not!”
Song Ci smiled.
