486 A Serious Actor
Shi Mingyu took a look at the script. Then, he put it down helplessly.
“I’ve mentioned this scene to Miss Sun before, but she refused to make any changes. According to her, this is the climax of Mi Xiaoxue’s story. The other screenwriters thought it was fine too. So, there’s nothing I can do.”
“I see.”
Song Ci looked at the script.
“But I still want to delete this part.”
“I’ll pass the message to Miss Sun when she’s back. You can discuss it with her. Maybe she’ll listen to a cast member,”
“Alright.”
Song Ci did not expect Shi Mingyu to agree with her.
“I’ll be leaving now.”
“Okay.”
Shi Mingyu stood up and walked Song Ci out.
At noon the next day, Song Ci and Shi Mingyu approached Sun Men.
“You wanted to delete the scene where Mi Xiaoxue and Mi Qiang quarreled?”
Sun Men was very direct.
Song Ci nodded.
Sun Men took out the script and analyzed it in detail.
“This is Mi Xiaoxue’s only explosive scene. She’ll have very few emotional ups and downs if we delete this. She won’t be very memorable.”
“Based on Mi Xiaoxue’s character, she wouldn’t quarrel with Mi Qiang at all.”
Song Ci continued in a serious manner, “Mi Xiaoxue doesn’t have a lot of feelings for her companions. She only has a trace of emotional recognition for them.”
Sun Men explained, “Due to Mi Qiang’s irresponsibility, their journey became more perilous. Mi Xiaoxue wanted to find her mother as soon as possible. Hence, their quarrel is justified.”
“But Mi Xiaoxue knew from the beginning that Mi Lai was dead. She only wanted to fulfill her mother’s last wish. The argument is unnecessary.”
Song Ci was insistent.
“Mi Qiang did not know the truth. He felt no guilt for causing trouble and slowing down the journey. Moreover, he did not care about their mother. It’s easy to understand Mi Xiaoxue’s anger.”
Song Ci shook her head.
“We have such thoughts because we’re full of emotions. However, as an apathetic person, Mi Xiaoxue is different.”
“She just came of age. This character was designed by multiple scriptwriters. We know better than you.”
Song Ci refused to give up. She pointed at a specific part in the script that explained Mi Xiaoxue’s character. After that, she continued to debate.
Shi Mingyu felt that Song Ci was a meticulous actress who respected the story and characters. He could not but glance at her a few times.
On the other hand, Sun Men frowned. T
“Mi Xiaoxue doesn’t have many scenes compared to Mi Qiang and Huang Su. Yet, you insist on deleting this scene. If we do that, the one who will end up suffering is you.”
“Mi Xiaoxue’s charm doesn’t lie in this scene. I believe the audience will still like her even if we delete the argument. Besides, I want to be responsible for my role.”
Sun Men sighed.
“Alright. I’ll talk to the director. If he agrees, we’ll delete the scene”
“Thank you, Scriptwriter Sun.”
Song Ci finally smiled.
Sun Men looked at her.
“I thought the explosive argument would highlight Mi Xiaoxue’s character, but it seems you have the same idea as Shi Mingyu.”
Shi Mingyu smiled.
That night, Song Ci received a call from Shi Mingyu.
“Scriptwriter Sun, so I’m informing you on her behalf. Director Chen has agreed.”
