Chapter 381 - 381 A New Opportunity
381 A New Opportunity
Song Ci did well in her audition, but she was not well-known. Hence, the director hesitated in casting her.
Meanwhile, Tian Tian had the exact opposite problem. She was too famous. The director could not help but worry. What if the audience accused him of hiring Tian Tian just for her popularity? It would affect the company’s reputation.
Moreover, there were other actresses who did well and had fewer issues. Song Ci and Tian Tian were not likely to be chosen.
Song Ci knew this and decided to move on. She asked Yang Haoran to look for other roles.
While Song Ci was reading some scripts, her phone rang.
“Zhao An? What’s wrong? Is ‘Rushing For Ten Years’ about to be broadcasted?’
“Almost, but that’s not the reason why I called you. Little Song, have you gotten a new role yet? If not, can you help me out?”
Song Ci was puzzled.
“Help with what?”
“My friend is filming a TV drama. Most of the cast are veterans. There is also a young but experienced actress. She complained about not having enough scenes. In the end, she left for another movie.”
Director Zhao continued, “They need a suitable replacement, but it’s hard because everything happened so suddenly. After looking through the script, I thought that you would be a good fit. You’ll also be able to gain more fame. So, are you interested?”
Such a project would not win any awards, but it was a good opportunity.
‘I can use this chance to build connections as well.’
With that thought in mind, Song Ci said, “Yes. I can join the crew at any time.”
Director Zhao felt that Song Ci was very promising. He was glad that she agreed.
“I’ll get the producer to contact you. By the way, be prepared. There’s a fight scene in this movie.”
“Alright, thank you for informing me.”
The two of them spoke a bit more before hanging up.
Then, Song Ci immediately told Lu Gan about this.
Lu Gan felt a little melancholic. Song Ci was leaving again.
‘If only she had an ordinary job… But then she wouldn’t be who she is.’
Lu Gan knew that Song Ci loved acting. She was working hard to achieve her dreams. Thus, he had no right to stop her.
“Alright. I’ll try to visit you whenever possible.”
Lu Gan’s tone was soft.
“Don’t worry. Director Zhao said filming will only take 20 days.”
Upon hearing that, Lu Gan was elated.
“Really?”
Song Ci said with a smile, “Yes. My character only has a few scenes.”
“Then why did you accept the role?”
Song Ci chuckled.
“Before this, I’ve even accepted roles with no lines. Every single opportunity is important and all characters have their purposes.”
