Finally Done

Song Ci knew Qian Wu was worried about her as well. After all, many actors got too deeply immersed in their roles, and when they could not get out of it, it affected their lives. In serious cases, they would need to see a psychiatrist. She accepted Qian Wu’s good intentions and said, “I understand. I’ll be more careful in the future.” She had put herself under a lot of pressure recently, as she was worried that the movie would not be able to achieve what it should because of her. If that were to happen, she would have to bear the blame.

It was rare for Qian Wu to show a hint of maturity. He was no longer cynical. “You must remember that while you’re an actor, you’re also a living person. The world could survive without a movie. However, without you, many people’s lives will become painful, so you have to act according to your ability. I don’t know why you’re giving yourself so much pressure, but I hope you won’t ruin yourself just to fulfill a role.”

“This doesn’t sound like something a director like you should say.” Song Ci looked at him with a smile. I thought directors like you would be happy seeing actors get into character. After all, this way, you can get closer to the characters.”

“Of course, it’s good to be in character. Though, it gets worrying if you’re too immersed. Every director loves talent, but they should never want their actors to have problems because of their film. They would still hope to be able to work with them for a long time,” Qian Wu explained seriously.

!!

Song Ci was sensitive and caught his main point. “So, you like me?”

Qian Wu was speechless.

‘Is that what you should be saying right now? That was not the main point. Your words are so ambiguous! Why would I like you? No! I was apologizing with integrity!’

With Song Ci’s brain so quick-witted, she was probably out of character. Otherwise, she would not have made such a joke. He looked at Song Ci proudly and said, “You better leave the liking to Lu Gan. You don’t stand a chance with me. You’re not my type. Hahaha…” With that, he stood up and tended to his matters.

Song Ci looked at his back and laughed out loud. She thought, ‘Qian Wu is as strict and arrogant as the books say. Hmm… He’s a little narcissistic too.’

Song Ci thought about her acting state and sighed softly. She really wanted to act well in this movie and did not want any accidents to happen. She might not be able to bear the responsibility for the failure of the film, nor did she want to affect anyone.

Snowflakes drifted in with the sudden cold air. Song Ci was pulled out of her memories by the wind and noticed Qian Wu had returned.

“Judging from your condition, you need a good rest,” Qian Wu said. “Fortunately, filming is over. I’ll hold a wrap party for you tomorrow, and then you can go home. I suggest you go on vacation. Many people live happy lives without any illness or disaster. Even though it’s a little unsatisfactory, it’s privileged. Do you understand?” Qian Wu was about to leave when he turned around and saw Song Ci standing in the snow in a daze. Her gaze and demeanor were very similar to those in the movie. He was really worried about Song Ci in this state.

Qian Wu did not want to make the actor depressed due to his own movie. If that were to happen, his career as a director would be in complete despair. Moreover, he felt a little uncomfortable seeing an actor he admired being affected. Song Ci was a great actress with a bright future ahead of her. She definitely could not stop here.

“Okay.” Song Ci did not resist and say she was fine, as she knew her current state was indeed not right. She could not wait to go home to her family.

She leaned back in her chair. She had finally finished filming her scenes. It had actually been the right time. If she had persisted for a few more days, she would not know how to comfort herself. Now, she could finally put down the burden in her heart. Most of the time, Song Ci enjoyed filming. However, this time, the enjoyment was shackled with the need to win an award. In addition, this film was really depressing. Even someone as open-minded as her would inevitably make herself heavy. That was why she was so deeply immersed in her character this time.

Fortunately, she finally finished her job and could come out of the character.
