583 The Best Employee
Song Ci snorted and bared her teeth. “I’ll have you know that I’m super fierce!”
Lu Gan, amused by her look, hugged her tightly. No matter how he looked at her, his wife was adorable.
That night, the family of four naturally slept together again.
When they returned to the city, as promised, Director Chen gave Lu Suo a huge cake. Lu Suo was the happiest as he ate while watching Song Ci and the others film. He and Song Yujin did not have many scenes, and they were all done. However, Song Ci’s group was not. Fortunately, since they were still on summer break and Lu Gan was not too busy, they were not in a hurry to go back.
In the middle of August, Song Ci finally finished filming for the movie, and the children were about to start school.
Once filming was over, Song Ci went to find Director Chen. She took out a song written by Fu Qinqin and asked if it could be used as an interlude in the movie. Although Director Chen had already hired a professional music team, when he heard Fu Qinqin’s voice, his heart skipped a beat. Her voice was clean, and the tune was cheerful.
“Is this your friend?” Director Chen looked at Song Ci.
Song Ci nodded. “That’s right. I met her while I was filming a drama series. She knew I was filming this movie and wrote a few songs for me. She said that if the production team liked it, she would let us use them for free.”
Director Chen immediately said awkwardly, “Really? Such a beautiful voice and she’s not charging us?”
“She’s not that well-known yet, so she won’t be able to earn much even if she offers a price. It’s better to do her a favor. If this movie becomes popular, she’ll also rise in status.” This was Song Ci’s opinion. After all, if Fu Qinqin made money, she would make money as well. Besides, she was very confident in Fu Qinqin.
Director Chen nodded slightly after listening to Song Ci’s reasoning. However, knowing that the other party was not famous, he did not want to take advantage of her. The other party’s life was probably average, so he asked Song Ci to discuss the price with the music director.
Song Ci thought about it and decided not to reject Director Chen’s good intentions. After discussing the price with the music director, he quickly texted Fu Qinqin the good news.
When Fu Qinqin found out that she had sold a new song, she said in surprise, “Really? That’s great!” She had made money for the company! Although it was not a lot of money, it was a start. After being for the new company for so long, she had only sold one song, and it was because of a favor. She had been worried that she would not be able to bring profit to the company.
Fu Qinqin replied, “Thank you, Sister Song Ci.”
Song Ci looked at Fu Qinqin’s gratitude and felt a strange feeling in her heart. Her employee worked hard to earn money for her, yet she was thanking her. The most outstanding employee this year would definitely be Fu Qinqin!
She was replying to Fu Qinqin’s message when she suddenly heard someone calling her. Song Ci raised her head and saw that it was Shi Mingyu, one of the scriptwriters. He was also the one she had approached for a script change last time.
Song Ci put her phone away and looked at him with a smile. “Hi, Screenwriter Shi.”
“Are you done with filming?” Shi Mingyu looked at her.
Song Ci nodded. “Yep.”
Shi Mingyu had a gentle and refined appearance as well as a kind smile. “You acted very well in this movie. I often hear Director Chen and the others praise you in private.”
“Thank you. Is there something you need from me?” Song Ci asked, puzzled.
Shi Mingyu seemed a little embarrassed as he rubbed his nose.”There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you. Though I’m not sure if you would be willing.”
Song Ci was taken aback when she saw Shi Mingyu’s sudden shyness. She did not have much interaction with Shi Mingyu. Every time they talked, it was because of the script. Now that Shi Mingyu had come to look for her a little shy, it made her overthink.
Shi Mingyu took out a script and handed it over. “If you have time, would you take a look?” He looked at Song Ci with anticipation and anxiety. “It’s a script for a literary film. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any thoughts after reading it. It’s just that the director of this film is not an acclaimed director like Director Chen, so the remuneration…”
Song Ci understood. Shi Mingyu wanted her to act in this movie but was afraid she would dislike the low pay. She quickly took the script and asked, “You wrote the script?”
To her surprise, Shi Mingyu shook his head. “The director of this movie wrote it himself. I think you’d be very suitable for the female lead, so I took the liberty to approach you. Even though the script is still incomplete, please take a look at it first. As for the pay, it won’t be as high as your current movie…” He felt embarrassed saying this. After all, Song Ci was currently acting as the third female lead. As the female lead in this script, she would have more scenes and less pay.
