I Transmigrated As A Villain’s Mother

588 Signing A Director

Song Ci crossed her arms and thought it through for a moment. It would be better to meet Qian Wu in person and have a talk. While she was pondering, Qian Wu was also doing the same.

“Give up,” Qian Wu said to Shi Mingyu. “What’s Song Ci’s current status? My last movie was only in theatres for seven days. How much was the box office? Less than a hundred thousand! Why would she act in my movie?”

“She just told me that she’s interested in the script.” Shi Mingyu rubbed his brows and tried his best to explain.

Qian Wu sneered. “She’s just being polite. Don’t you understand? What else could she say? That you’re not worthy?”

Shi Mingyu frowned. “She’s not that kind of person. When I was working with her, she took the initiative to cut some of her scenes to better fit her character. She’s really serious about her work. Since she said she’s interested, it must be true.”

Qian Wu felt that Shi Mingyu was still as naive as before. “Alright. You don’t have to keep thinking about helping me. I don’t blame you anymore. We’re not even on the same side, so let’s stop talking about this. I wish you a successful career as a scriptwriter.” With that, Qian Wu hung up the phone.

Shi Mingyu was unwilling to give up. However, he had an incoming call. Shi Mingyu glanced at it and saw that it was Song Ci!

Song Ci “I’ve read the script. When do you think you can have a meal with director Qian Wu? I’d like a proper discussion about this movie.”

Shi Mingyu was pleasantly surprised. “You mean you’re willing to act in it?”

“Yes, but I have some ideas and conditions. We can talk about it when we meet,” Song Ci replied.

“I’ll tell him the good news now,” Shi Mingyu said excitedly. He hung up the phone and called Qian Wu immediately. However, Qian Wu stubbornly refused to answer.

Shi Mingyu could only send him a message to let him know. “Song Ci has already agreed and wants to talk in person.”

Not long after, Qian Wu called. He said in disbelief, “Song Ci agreed?! With her current popularity, why would she choose a director like me to film? You’re joking, right? What would she want to talk about in person? Changing directors?”

“Of course not,” Shi Mingyu replied. “I sent her your work. She must have seen it before making the decision.”

Qian Wu felt that it was unreal. “Is she helping the poor? Otherwise, why else is she doing it?”

Shi Mingyu said anxiously, “Of course, she’s interested in your script. As I’ve said before, Song Ci is someone who values the quality of the script. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have approached her.”

Qian Wu did not believe there were any pure actors in this world. She must have conditions. “Let’s see what her conditions are first…”

Shi Mingyu said helplessly, “You said it yourself. She’s very popular now. So isn’t it normal for her to have her own conditions? When the time comes, listen. As long as it’s not too much, agree to it. She’s also very friendly. I don’t think she’ll make excessive requests.”

Qian Wu said sarcastically, “Since you trust her so much, what’s there to talk about? I’ll just agree to it and nod. It’ll be a unanimous vote, and everyone will be happy. I have to thank you for being able to make a movie.”

Sometimes, Shi Mingyu really could not stand Qian Wu’s words. He adjusted his tone, “When you go for dinner in two days, use your brain to think before you speak. If Song Ci decides not to be in it anymore, you’ll have trouble finding such a suitable female lead.” He hung up the phone straight after, or he would have been angered to death. He immediately confirmed the time with Qian Wu and went to look for Song Ci.

After confirming the meeting time, Song Ci began thinking of her conditions. After all, she was not here for charity. She only wanted to make Sunshine Media a more mature entertainment company. She had actors and singers in her hands but lacked a screenwriter and director, and Qian Wu fulfilled her conditions.

Qian Wu was still an unknown director, after all. Once he came to Sunshine Media, her company would have its own director. It would also be more advantageous in terms of resources. Therefore, she wanted to sign Qian Wu as a director of Sunshine Media. If Qian Wu disagreed, it would be on a short-term contract basis. She would maximize all the benefits.

Song Ci told Lu Gan her thoughts. After hearing them, Lu Gan sized her up for a while and said in surprise, “You would speed up the current pace of Sunshine Media by quite a bit this way.”
