Only Children Make Choices

In Song Ci’s opinion, Lu Suo did not need to like her as much as he liked Lu Gan. It was enough that he liked her at all. With this expectation in her heart, she felt more motivated to act.

Lu Suo had yet to finish filming his scenes. The next day, before the sun rose, Director Chen filmed the scene where Mi Qiang, Huang Su, and Mi Xiaoxue entered the village and asked about the tree. This time, he needed an older man to act as Lu Suo’s grandfather.

Once Director Chen had chosen the extra, he waved for Lu Suo to come over and get to know the old man so that the children would not find him unfamiliar.

Lu Suo blinked and stared at the old man in front of him. The old man looked back at him with a kind expression. He had never seen such a beautiful child before, and he could not help but love him. He even asked him, “Want some candy?”

!!

Lu Suo shook his head and obediently called him, “Grandpa!”

The grandpa nodded happily and patted his little head.

Director Chen explained the scene to the old man. His scene was very simple. He was to make a wreath and chase after his grandson all over the yard, asking him to wear it. Then, he happened to hear Mi Xiaoxue and the others asking about the scenic spot. Before the old man could hear clearly, his grandson had already stuck his head out and shouted that he knew…

Director Chen asked the old man and Lu Suo to try out the scene together. While Lu Suo’s acting was fine, the old man was too normal. Acting was not his profession, and he was nervous when faced with the camera. So Director Chen guided the old man alone for a while. As Lu Suo was bored and getting antsy as time went on, he returned to Song Ci and Lu Xin’s side and played with his grass-woven puppy with Song Yujin.

When Director Chen turned around and saw the dog head in Lu Suo’s hands, he asked curiously, “Where did you get that?”

“My father made it for me,” Lu Suo said proudly.

Director Chen looked at Lu Gan silently. He had not been able to tell that this person with a cold temperament and a noble figure knew how to make such a thing. He said, looking at Lu Suo, “Why don’t you take it when you start filming?”

“Alright.” Lu Suo nodded obediently. He turned to Lu Gan and said, “I’m going to film with it.”

“Go on, then.” Lu Gan patted his head.

Lu Suo also felt that this was a good idea. This way, it would be like his father had also participated in the movie, and everyone in their family of four would have been included.

Director Chen took advantage of the fact that the sun had yet to set to prepare the camera again, ready to shoot the sunset characters.

This time, Lu Suo was different from previous scenes. Due to the addition of the grass-woven puppy, Lu Suo carefully swayed and ran back and forth. He smiled innocently in the setting sun. As he looked up, the light in his eyes was as bright as a galaxy.

Mi Xiaoxue called out to him. He looked back, and his eyes were filled with the same thing as his name. It was hope!

Director Chen looked at the monitor and held his breath. Out of all the scenes he had ever shot, this was, by far, the most beautiful. He had never thought that the effect of this scene would be so stunning, and it exceeded his expectation. This child really was suitable to be an actor and was one of the most talented child actors he had ever seen in his career.

By then, Lu Suo’s scenes had wrapped. Director Chen remembered that he had bought a cake for Song Yujin after the scene where he killed the gangster. If he did not buy one for Lu Suo, the child might throw a tantrum when he returned home and feel that he was treated differently from his brother. He liked Lu Suo very much and naturally could not allow Lu Suo to have such emotions. As there was no cake shop in the village, he said to Lu Suo, “Once we head back, I’ll get you a cake, okay?”

Lu Suo nodded. He did not care about the cake at all. He was more concerned about his salary! He jumped in front of Lu Gan and whispered, “Dad, have I received the other half of my salary?”

“Yep.” Lu Gan pinched his chubby little face. After the sunset scene had been shot, Director Chen had gotten someone to transfer his salary. It could only be said that the director was extremely satisfied with the scene, and his love for Lu Suo increased even more.

“If there comes a day when Little Xiao wants to act in a movie, please do not hesitate to contact me,” Director Chen said to Song Ci quietly while looking at Lu Suo, who was whispering into Lu Gan’s ear not far away. After all, he could not give such a talented seedling like Lu Suo to others.

Song Ci smiled and teased Director Chen, “What? Don’t love your innocent Song Yujin anymore?”

“A person can love two at the same time.” As an adult, Director Chen would take whatever he could get. It was the children’s decision, after all!

Song Ci waited for him to continue. What kind of scumbag speech was this?
