I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

632 The Stubborn Child

Qian Wu looked at the person in the camera and felt an indescribable pain in his heart. It was as if he was looking at his past self. He had almost reached this point in his life. Fortunately, he met Song Ci, and Shi Mingyu pulled him back in time when he was about to give up.

His gaze refocused on Song Ci. She was smoking a cigarette, and there seemed to be a layer of loneliness that could not be brushed away. Slowly, she seemed to have stopped moving. Only the scarlet light of the cigarette butt flickered, indicating another person there. Unknowingly, a line of tears slowly flowed out of her eyes. She reached out to wipe her tears and smiled.

Chen Guihua’s smile was soothing and beautiful on the high-resolution monitor. She was relieved but helpless.

Qian Wu rubbed his eyes to stop himself from crying. He was too empathetic toward everything about Chen Guihua. The atmosphere created by Song Ci’s acting was too precise, and it touched him. Qian Wu thought it was good he had not changed the script and played this role. Otherwise, he might have broken down in the process of acting. He did not want to be so cruel to himself.

Song Ci filmed this scene several times. She waited until Qian Wu said she could rest before she finally stood up. She rubbed her eyes which were sore from crying. For this scene, she had cried repeatedly for more than two hours. Qian Wu knew her eyes would not be feeling well the next day, so he specially approved half a day’s leave for her and asked her to return in the afternoon to film.

Song Ci naturally agreed. When she returned to the hotel, she took a shower and went straight to bed. Asleep, she had a dream. In it, Qian Wu sat under the roof, covering his face and crying bitterly. The assistant director looked at him with a puzzled expression. The more Qian Wu cried, the more the assistant director held him back. However, Qian Wu shook off his hand, and turned around, saying this scene would repeat. In the dream, Qian Wu played Chen Guihua, but his name was changed to Chen Gui. He cried in pain and despair.

When Song Ci woke up, she was still a little dazed. She guessed she had dreamed of Qian Wu’s life in the book last night. He was unwilling to give up and acted in the movie himself. However, as his experience was similar to Chen Guihua’s, his psychological defense completely collapsed the night Chen Guihua gave up.

Song Ci thought it was good that Qian Wu did not have to cry this time. She went to the set with such a mood and saw Qian Wu directing Chu Yi with a smile.

Chu Yi already had the temperament of Shi Qiang in the movie. He did not seem like his usual serious self. He squatted on a rock and recited his lines. His eyes narrowed, looking rather wretched.

However, Qian Wu was still not satisfied. He shouted, “Be more despicable and frivolous. You have some interest in Chen Guihua in this movie, but you never made it clear. You feel inferior knowing you aren’t good enough for her, so you prefer her to give up…”

Chu Yi raised the corner of his lips and glanced at him. His expression became disgusting.

Qian Wu nodded. “That’s it. Keep it up.”

Song Ci was speechless. It seemed Qian Wu was very happy now and was not affected by this show at all. She felt relieved.

‘Rebirth’ was Sunshine Media’s first self-produced movie. Whether it was the director or the actors, they were all related to Sunshine Media. Even in terms of investment, Sunshine Media was the majority. This also meant there would not be too many internal conflicts in this movie.

Coupled with Song Ci’s support, Qian Wu had the final say, allowing him to complete the scenes he wanted to the best of his ability. Through shooting multiple takes, the work was getting more and more perfect.

Soon, Song Ci celebrated the new year with everyone on set. New Year’s Day passed, which meant the Spring Festival was not far away.

Lu Suo took the initiative to call Song Ci and tell her that their final exams were coming up. His mid-term exam results had also been pretty good, only two points behind Song Yujin. Song Yujin was very satisfied and even gave him his reward.

Lu Suo said, “Mom, will I be able to see you after my exams?”

“Of course,” Song Ci said. She was almost done filming and would be able to go home soon.

Lu Suo was pleasantly surprised. He turned to look at Song Yujin, but Song Yujin did not seem to care. After all, he was the one who reminded Lu Suo. “You haven’t called Mom in a long time. Shouldn’t you tell her today that we’re about to take our finals…?”

Lu Suo was already used to Song Yujin’s stubbornness. He said sweetly to Song Ci, “Brother, Dad, and I will be waiting for you to come home.”
