From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids-Chapter 37: Getting a Small Role

Suddenly, the lead actor’s keen intuition instantly reacted, he swiftly turned around, and plunged a long sword into her body.

Almost in an instant, Su Xingwan bit into the blood pack in her mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of her lips. When that sword was pulled out of her body, a jet of blood spurted out like a fountain.

And Su Xingwan fell to the ground...

The two little ones saw their aunt bleeding and dying.

After a second of confusion, they suddenly started crying.

"Aunt!"

The two little ones hurriedly ran with their little legs towards their fallen aunt.

"Aunt, aunt... don’t die!"

The two little ones lay on their aunt’s body, crying mournfully, with large tears streaming down their small faces.

All the actors present, including the director, producer, and others were caught off guard by the sudden actions of the two little ones.

However, the infectious nature of children’s crying was too strong. Even when staff members tried to tell them it was just acting, they kept crying.

Su Xingwan opened her eyes, looked at the two little ones crying sadly, and quickly raised her hand to wipe their tears in distress.

"Aunt isn’t dead, aunt was just acting, not really dead."

The two little ones paused, with a momentary look of confusion in their eyes as they saw their aunt suddenly wake up.

Seeing their aunt wasn’t dead, they tightly hugged her.

Director Chen seeing this scene suddenly had a better idea for the childhood storyline involving the two little ones.

His gaze also fell on Su Xingwan.

Every time the two little ones performed, it was almost inseparable from their aunt. Should he perhaps design a role for Su Xingwan?

Zhang Qiaoqiao saw the two little ones so worried about their aunt and inexplicably felt a bit envious.

After this scene was finished, Su Xingwan also changed into clean clothes.

Zhang Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but ask, "Director Chen, who is the young actress playing my childhood version? Has she been chosen already?"

Director Chen nodded, "She’s been chosen, it’s that little girl."

He pointed to Little Su Hua.

Zhang Qiaoqiao followed his gaze and froze.

"Is... is that Su Xingwan’s niece?"

Director Chen: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Zhang Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head, "...no problem."

While everyone was resting.

Su Xingwan was called in by Director Chen.

After a while, Su Xingwan exclaimed, "Director Chen, you want me to play the mother of the two little ones?"

Director Chen nodded, "Yes, I just watched your previous scenes as extras, and when you’re beside the two little ones, they perform better."

Originally, he wasn’t very hopeful about the male protagonist’s childhood scenes, as long as they were passable.

But now his thoughts have changed, since he can achieve better results, he will pursue better results.

The role of the mother of the two little ones originally only appeared in memories and had even fewer scenes than the two little ones. Now, he’s changed his mind and added some scenes to the mother role.

Su Xingwan: "But... but I can’t act?"

She’s okay with the extras but can’t quite handle a role with a lot of lines.

Director Chen: "Just act normally, treat them the way you usually do in the scenes."

Seeing this, Su Xingwan said, "Then I’ll give it a try."

She finished speaking and suddenly thought of something, "Director Chen, how is the pay calculated for this? Do I still get the same as before?"

Director Chen didn’t expect Su Xingwan to be as concerned with money as her niece and nephew.

Then he remembered the difficulty she had looking after two kids.

So he said, "The pay will be three times what you normally get as an extra."

Su Xingwan was delighted.

Plus the payment for the two little ones’ performance.

This time, her earnings were substantial.

After Su Xingwan came out, it didn’t take long for Zhang Qiaoqiao to learn that Su Xingwan had gotten a role.

"Su Xingwan, you’re pretty lucky, huh? Originally, it seemed you’d have to struggle in this industry for years, but you got a role so quickly!"

Su Xingwan was very happy about getting a role, so she didn’t mind Zhang Qiaoqiao’s sarcastic remarks.

With a smile, she said, "Not bad, you’re not too bad either."

Seeing Su Xingwan’s smile, Zhang Qiaoqiao snorted.

After all, she was signed with an entertainment company and was considered a promising artist by them.

And Su Xingwan dared to compare with her?

Zhang Qiaoqiao’s gaze fell on the two little ones.

"Didn’t expect your niece to play my childhood role, huh."

Honestly, she was quite satisfied with the actor’s image for her childhood role.

Thus, her tone softened when speaking to the two little ones.

"However, you and your niece and nephew really have skills, getting recognized in Hengdian so quickly."

Now Su Xingwan also got a role, purely on her own.

No, she relied on her niece and nephew, huh!

There’s really no difference between her and me.

Thinking this way, Zhang Qiaoqiao felt more comfortable in her heart.

Today the work wrapped up quite early, so Su Xingwan took the two little ones home, sat on the sofa, edited today’s footage, and uploaded it online.

Due to the confidentiality required by the crew when filming, a lot of things weren’t allowed to be filmed, so she only shot videos of herself in costume and her daily life during meals and breaks.

The last few days of her extras videos saw a significant increase in views, each with several thousand views and comments starting to appear.

[What does Xingwan do for a living? How come the recent updates are about filming in Hengdian?]

[Extras have it tough.]

[Curious, which Hengdian are you filming at?]

[How did you find such a job? I also want to try it out.]

In her latest video, Su Xingwan mentioned getting a small speaking role today, along with a cleverly crafted caption that attracted many viewers, and her views exceeded ten thousand.

[Miss, you’re amazing, got special treatment as an actor after working as an extra for just a few days?]

[Does Miss have connections backstage?]

[Why doesn’t Miss show her face, being chosen by the director so quickly, she must be good-looking.]

At this moment, someone suddenly followed her in the backend.

She clicked to see.

Ye Yixing???

How did he find his way here?

She was still just an up-and-coming host with a few hundred followers.

Of these, several hundred followers were from her recent consistent updates on extras’ daily life.

In the "Emperor" crew, Director Li suddenly came up and said, "Director Chen, that little actor named Su Yan just came over."

Director Chen: "Okay, did you inform his guardian?"

Director Li: "Yes, but today it wasn’t Huang Yiliu who came, it was his aunt bringing the kid here. After I said we had a replacement in the crew, the aunt took the kid and left."

At this moment, his phone rang.

It was a call from Huang Yiliu.

"Hello, is this Director Chen?"

"It’s me." Director Chen.

Huang Yiliu smiled, "Sorry, Director Chen, my kid fell sick yesterday."
