I Transmigrated As A Villain’s Mother
Chapter 599 - 599 Inexplicable Guilt599 Inexplicable Guilt
So, Song Ci asked tentatively, “I have a question. What do you think of acting? For example, if you changed the female lead to a male lead and acted in it yourself. Wouldn’t the effect be better?”
Qian Wu was confused. He immediately sat up straight and looked at her warily. “What do you mean? Are you already going to break the contract even though I’ve just signed it? You’d better look carefully. It’s clearly written in the contract that you have to play the female lead, or you’ll have to compensate me for breaching the contract!”
“I just feel that as the scriptwriter, you’d know this role better than I would and be more suitable for it than I am.” Song Ci tried to persuade him.
Qian Wu did not hesitate or consider. “I’m a director, not an actor. However, you…” His tone suddenly became meaningful.”Please be honest with me.”
Song Ci was speechless. Was she not being honest? She was afraid of affecting Qian Wu’s glorious life! What if she interrupted his path, and Qian Wu did not become a household name because of the movie? How would she compensate him, then? This was a future acclaimed director. Song Ci felt a headache coming on. Now that she knew Qian Wu’s movie would win an award, she had to try her best to convince him. She waited until the end of dinner. Song Ci was still worried about how to get Qian Wu to change the script and let him take the lead again. She tried to think of a way to persuade him. “I just meant that after I read the script very carefully. I think I’m more suitable for the second female lead, and the female lead’s role would be more suitable as a male lead…”
Qian Wu was adamant. “I refuse. I won’t change the script nor will I act in it. To turn the female lead into a man’s? Don’t even think about it. I couldn’t tell, but do you actually think that women are inferior to men?”
Song Ci was speechless.
Since her plan failed, she came up with another one. At noon the next day, she called Qian Wu again. “Director Qian, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that you changed the movie and played the male lead. We ended up winning awards both domestically and overseas for this movie! You won the best actor and director awards all by yourself. You became a hit!”
Qian Wu was speechless. It was indeed an amazing dream. “That was just a dream, though. This is reality.”
Song Ci did not give up. “Don’t you think it’s a sign that you should be the main character in this movie? Then, we can win an award!”
Qian Wu was speechless.
“Shouldn’t we follow the will of the heavens?” Song Ci continued.
“I think you’re the one chosen by the heavens!”
Song Ci was speechless.
Three days later, Song Ci decided to invite him out. It was useless to call him. “Director Qian, I’ll be honest with you. I really don’t think my acting skills are good enough to take the lead. It will affect your results, so let me play a supporting role. Then, you can take the lead role and change it to something suitable for you. When the time comes, this movie will definitely be a hit!”
“No, you have to trust me. Be confident in yourself!” Qian Wu tried his best to persuade her.
On the fourth day, Song Ci went to him again. “Director Qian, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I’m a very superstitious person. Before I do anything, I have to do a divination session. I did one for this movie, and the result was that you have to be the main lead. If I play it, it will affect your career. Think about it. What would you have done If Shi Mingyu hadn’t asked me to take this script? Would you have personally acted in it? Now that I’ve agreed, everything has changed. If this movie really wins an award, wouldn’t I be snatching your trophy? I’ll really feel guilty.”
Qian Wu was a little confused. “We haven’t even started filming yet, and you’re already thinking about awards season? Aren’t you thinking too highly of me? Should I feel guilty if I don’t win an award, then?”
Song Ci said with certainty, “You’ll definitely win awards! You must!” Otherwise, she really would have changed Qian Wu’s life!
Qian Wu never dreamed that Song Ci would think so highly of him. Even for someone as confident as him, all he hoped was for more people to watch his movies. As for winning an award, he did not dare to think about it. However, Song Ci was so confident in his winning an award. It made him feel little guilty. She had already thought one step ahead.
Qian Wu instantly felt an indescribable joy. He had to work hard for his confidence and high opinion. His path had not been smooth. His parents did not understand and even used all kinds of means to make him quit. His siblings did not support him and mocked him. His only friend, Shi Mingyu, also chose to leave after working with him for three years.
