The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife - Chapter 381
Ch.381 A good fit as the female lead (2)
Everyone was worried that their children would lose at the starting point in life, so they all worked extremely hard, in hopes to help their children become elites. Especially for a family like the Shen’s, even if Chengcheng doesn’t have to work hard and could live his life worry free, but the children around him all received elite education. Everyone was striving hard. If Chengcheng didn’t pick up, the gap would get wider, and he’ll definitely not be able to keep up with the others in the future. Moreover, in the Shen family, there was no such thing as a child not needing to learn, as long as he is willing to learn, he must learn it. Communication, etiquette and culture had to be learnt. After all, the Shen family had such a big family business, and in the end someone had to inherit it. Chengcheng would then be responsible for this important task.
Sun Qin watched as Su Yaya fell into deep thought, she then patted her on the shoulder and smiled: “I’m going off topic, it’s just a random thought, I thought of the past, compared it with our current situation and couldn’t help but comment on it. ”
Su Yaya said: “I think you’re right, mum.”
Sun Qin smiled.
……
After the script was finalised, Sun Qin began to look for funding and started the casting process. She planned to direct the whole film on her own from the very second she started to write this script, it was to commemorate her teacher and to thank her for all the effort she had put in for her and the children in the village.
She quickly got the funding in place, after all, Sun Qin, the Three Gold Best Actress title, was a brand on its own. The investors were all willing to invest as soon as they heard her name, and there was an even bigger investor amongst them, that person was Shen Xiuqi. In Shen Xiuqi’s words, it was my mother’s script, and it was the first script she had written, regardless of whether it was good or not, just invest. Anyway, he was not short of money.
Sun Qin got the investment in an instant, and all that was left was casting. According to the scenes in her script, for her movie, a long period of time would be spent filming in the countryside at the early stage, and conditions would be tough. She looked for actresses who were interested to work in this movie, but they hesitated when they heard that they had to live in the countryside for a few months and the conditions were not of the best.
After all, the hottest male and female celebrities now, all they had to do was pose in a studio, lip sync and say 1234567, they could also get hundreds of thousands of pay they would get per episode, or shoot an aesthetic advertisement or be a brand ambassador, then a few million would already flow to their account. They could also shoot a commercial film, which also came along with a large amount of income, if the fans are into it and accidentally break a new high at the box office, they might even receive a big red packet. Along with variety shows, being an on screen couple, that’ll make them to the trending topics and their popularity would go skyrocketing, so who would rather go to the countryside to endure such hardships and take part in such a sentimental movie? It’s okay if the movie wins an award in the end, however, if the movie doesn’t do well, that would be rather embarrassing. It would be a waste of time and energy, they even had to suffer, so naturally no one would want to pick up the role.
Sun Qin contacted several actresses but no one was willing to take the part. Even if they were close with her, they just agreed to take a look, and said that their schedule was too tight and that they might not be able to free up the time.
Seeing how worried Sun Qin was about the casting for the script to the extent that her hair almost turned grey, Su Yaya gave it some thought and decided to recommend herself to Sun Qin.
Su Yaya walked to the door to Sun Qin’s room and knocked. After a while, Sun Qin’s voice sounded from inside the room.
“Mom.” Su Yaya opened the door and walked in, and saw that Sun Qin was standing in front of the window, as if she had some thoughts in mind.
Sun Qin turned around when she heard her, saw Su Yaya and smiled, then asked her, “What’s the matter?”
