Her Gentleness

Song Ci waved the script in her hand. “Don’t worry about the pay. I don’t mind. I’ll let you know once I’ve finished reading it.”

“Alright. Thank you so much.” Shi Mingyu nodded and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had hoped that Song Ci would agree. She was one of the few young actors he had seen so far who could read the script, respect the character, and have superb acting skills. With Song Ci so in demand, it would be difficult to find a replacement with such conditions.

Song Ci looked at the script in her hands, a little curious. She had not acted in a literary film before. She took the script back to her resting area, packing her things to head back first. She would go home with Lu Gan and the others after the end-of-production party tonight.

Yang Haoran looked at the script in her hand and asked, “What’s this?”

!!

“The scriptwriter, Shi Mingyu, handed me a script. He told me to take a look at it first and to let him know if I’m interested. He wants me to act as the female lead,” Song Ci said casually.

Yang Haoran was a little surprised. “He wants you to act in his film? And play the female lead?”

Song Ci shook his head. “It’s not his movie. He didn’t write the script, nor did he say who the director was. Though he did say it was not a famous director, and the pay isn’t high. He was afraid that I wouldn’t consider it.” The fact was that she really did not care about these things. She preferred accepting roles based on the scripts, and everything else could be discussed later.

Yang Haoran clearly thought the same. “Take a look first, then. If you have any issues, let me know. I’ll talk to them.”

Song Ci nodded.

Yang Haoran added, “By the way, ‘Regular Stories’ is about to be released soon. The producer just contacted me. They’re planning to air it around August 15th. Do you have any problems with the timing?”

“No. I’m fine with anything,” Song Ci replied after some thought.

“That’s great. You might have to follow the crew for a few days to promote the film. I’ll send you the schedule once it’s out.” Yang Haoran began to write and plan in his notebook to keep track of the time.

Song Ci nodded. She looked forward to the premiere of ‘Police Story’. This was her first time working with the main production team, and she wondered how the effect would be. If the viewership ratings and public praise were good, then her acting career would be broader in the future, and she would no longer be limited to idol dramas.

Song Ci tried to take another look at the script that Shi Mingyu had given her. She hoped that the script was not bad. That way, she could try something new. However, many actors and staff members took the opportunity to ask for her signature and photos today as she was about to leave the crew.

Song Ci did not refuse them. With the day being so lively, she did not have time to read the script carefully. She looked at the extra who had left happily after taking the photo with her, and her eyes overflowed with gentleness. Only those who had worked their way up from the bottom would understand the difficulties.

She used to play supporting roles like this day after day. She had met many actors she admired and hoped to take a photo with them. She had such a dream before and would not shatter others’ hopes.

Yang Haoran looked at her and once again sighed at Song Ci’s good temper. Even though she was already so popular, she did not put on any airs. It was rare to see. It was not that all famous actors had bad tempers, but time did not allow them to take photos with the extras one by one. However, Song Ci had done it, even leaving an extra day.

After Song Ci was done taking photos, she returned to her hotel room and started packing her luggage. She did not have much luggage here. Most of it was packed in the hotel where Lu Gan was, so it was done very quickly.

Just as she finished packing, Yang Haoran came to look for her. It was almost time for the end-of-production party, so Song Ci had no choice but to put the script she had just picked up back down and head to the wrap party first.

Although Mi Xiaoxue was the third female lead, she was assigned according to the main characters. Strictly speaking, Song Ci was also a female lead. Therefore, the standard of her wrap party was no different from the male lead’s.

Wu Chengfei and Qin Yanxing were both much older than Song Ci. Coupled with their relationship in the movie, they looked at Song Ci as if she was their own daughter, so they naturally did not mind. After cutting the cake, they even chased after Song Ci and smeared cream on her.

Song Ci dodged at lightning speed and finally hid behind Director Chen. Wu Chengfei threw out a lump of cream that landed directly on Director Chen’s face.

Everyone held back their laughter, with Song Ci being the loudest. Just as she was laughing, Director Chen pulled her in front of him and smeared a few lines on her face. Now, it was Director Chen who laughed proudly.
