Chapter 1293: Envy
They were asking Dai Jingyun all sorts of questions with concern, like how she was doing here, whether her filming was going well, and if the pressure was too much.
In the crew, Dai Jingyun always seemed like a big sister, but in front of her parents, she still had the look of a child.
Yun Qiluo sat on a chair beside them, sipping the strawberry milk cap she just bought, quietly watching the family of three.
Suddenly, she wondered, if her own parents were still around... would it be the same?
Would they also hold her hand and care about her in all sorts of ways?
The Dai couple left shortly after arriving, and after seeing them off, Dai Jingyun came back and saw her sitting there, and couldn’t help but ask:
"Luo Luo, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Yun Qiluo shook her head, "It’s just, I’m suddenly a bit envious of you."
"Envious of what?" Dai Jingyun found it somewhat amusing, "I should be envious of you, with such a good family background, and knowing someone like Yan Yan, you can live without worries in this circle."
Yun Qiluo said, "I can’t find my parents."
Dai Jingyun froze for a moment, a little surprised, "How come?"
"I should be considered an orphan," Yun Qiluo lowered her eyes and said softly, "I came to act, not only because I’m interested, but also because I want them to see me and recognize me."
Dai Jingyun always thought this young girl came to act just for fun, but didn’t expect there was such a deeper meaning.
For a moment, she felt a bit sympathetic and didn’t quite know how to comfort her.
So she just patted her on the shoulder, "You will find them, being a star means a lot of people will see you, and when the whole nation knows you, they will surely see you too."
The young girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes."
Dai Jingyun thought for a moment, and then asked her, "So, does that mean you plan to continue filming the next show?"
Yun Qiluo said, "I have the idea, but I haven’t found the right one yet."
She’s about to start a whole summer vacation, and there will also be plenty of time in her senior year, so she wants to continue acting.
"I thought you would stop after this show, in that case, Director Xue would be very happy, he values your talent," Dai Jingyun smiled, then suggested, "as for resources, you can ask Yan Yan to find some for you, preferably well-known ones with a chance to go viral, even if it’s just a supporting role, as long as the show is famous, there’s a higher chance your parents will see you."
"We’ll see about then."
Yun Qiluo didn’t really want to trouble the beautiful woman about this, he was busy every day, and asking him to find her work would be too pitiful for him.
She hoped to be able to audition herself, getting roles through her own auditions would feel much more rewarding.
She already knew how other actors began acting now.
Yun Qiluo didn’t expect opportunities to come so quickly.
The next night, Xue Fan specifically called her over during a filming break and asked with a smile:
"Luo Luo, you’re about done with your scenes, you should wrap up the day after tomorrow. I heard you still want to film another show?"
Yun Qiluo nodded obediently, "Yes, yes."
Xue Fan then asked, "Any ideas yet?"
"Not yet."
"Want me to recommend one? Although the resource might not be as good as what the Fifth Young Master can offer, it’s a third female lead, but the role suits you, and this drama is a big IP, should be popular without accidents, great for increasing your visibility, and there are many veteran actors who can teach you some things."
Obviously, Xue Fan had heard about her ongoing plan to continue acting in order to find her parents, so he wanted to help her out.
