My Dreamy Old Husband

Once Michael left, Carmen started to count her cash again while giggling. She had earned a total of 200 today—100 was from Michael’s filming crew whereas the other 100 was from the film crew next door from ‘War of Resistance Against Japan’. For that film, since it was only one scene and she did not show her face, her pay was only 50. Hence, she clung onto the director’s leg in an adorable manner to earn herself an extra scene. In the end, the director added another 50 for her. Therefore, Sophia changed the 200 into small bills in 5 for Carmen to add them up.

Michael glanced at the daily schedule that Sophia planned for Carmen to check on the scenes that she had—a passerby in a costume play, the female lead when she was a child in a fantasy drama, and a young girl in a costume play.

For most of her roles, Carmen did not have any screen time or dialogue. She would have some screen time in those rare moments, but sadly, she did not have a dialogue for that role.

She had previously shot to fame in ‘The National Treasury Action’, but since there was no continuous gossip and popularity revolving around her, her fame died down soon enough. He did not want her to become famous at such a young age, so he deliberately suppressed her popularity. The competition in the entertainment industry was fierce, so without a certain fervor surrounding his daughter, people would merely forget about her. Therefore, she lost her momentum after a few months. Nobody would know that she had such a glorious history in her resume even if she became an actress now. Hence, she was paid as a newbie, which meant 50 a day with 200 being the maximum.

After looking through the schedule, he picked up a pen to scribble on the form while explaining, “This film crew is alright since the director is very responsible and approachable. The extras receive high pay and on time too. That series is also not bad because it is a big production and the salary will be high with lots of opportunities. On the other hand, this is a terrible filming crew and the special effects they use are a joke. The plot doesn’t make sense and none of their films have premiered successfully. They even owed the extras their pay. Don’t accept them.”

Michael had worked in the film studio for a very long time, so he was well informed about different crews and companies. He scribbled on the schedule to filter the bad ones out for Carmen.

Sophia burst out in laughter as she stared at his serious side profile.

Michael thought, I look like I don’t care about much, but I do in reality. She is my own daughter, after all. How could I possibly not care about her? I just don’t want Carmen to feel different from others and I don’t want her to feel that she easily gains more attention. She should receive some hard training from a young age because being spoiled and becoming famous at an early age would only bring her more harm than good.

After Carmen calculated her money, she stared at her father with large, mischievous eyes.

Michael acted like a tsundere again while making a pointed comment, “Are you hoping to chat about the film with me? Hmph, I am angry right now. I’m not telling you anything.”

A proud Carmen looked away. “Hmph, nobody needs you to do that!”

Sophia was amused as she watched the pair of dramatic father and daughter. It is undeniable that they are biologically related.

Michael claimed that he would not talk about the film, but he relented in the end and discussed it whereas she absorbed the knowledge in all seriousness. She slept early that night, but before going to bed, she placed her hard-earned 200 under her pillow. She was determined to sleep on her second pot of gold because she was afraid that he would ransack her hard-earned money like before.
