"I've finished reading the script, and I've read it many times!"
Gu Suisui's personality is relatively straightforward, and she can't hide things in her heart. She usually says what she thinks of, and if she does it, she does it, and if she doesn't do it, she doesn't do it.
Seeing the cute expression on this little girl's face, the two assistant directors sitting next to her couldn't help laughing out loud.
The two of them are not young anymore, and their grandchildren are almost the same age as Gu Suisui. Seeing this quirky little girl in front of her is like seeing her own child.
And Lu Jianhui was also very satisfied with Gu Suisui's saying that he had read the script many times, with a little smile on his face, and said: "Then the script reading session will start later, Suisui you can read it by yourself Do you do the job of reading the script by yourself?"
Lu Jianhui just saw that the child was quite serious, so he asked casually, and didn't expect to get a positive answer from her.
Of course, for those grown-up actors, being familiar with the lines is only a basic requirement. If an actor can't even speak his part of the lines fluently, can he still be considered a qualified actor
But children like Gu Suisui's age are different. They don't know many characters, and the speed of reading the script will be very slow, let alone let them read the lines. Even Lu Jianhui, a director with strict requirements, has to lower his requirements for some young actors, as long as they can memorize the lines of that scene when they are filming. As for the script study session, they Staff have been arranged in advance to help.
Gu Suisui raised his little head, and said with pride, "Of course I can read the script by myself. My mother wanted to come and help me, but I didn't even agree!"
The question asked by the director's grandfather is too childish.
She's a big kid now, and little things like reading scripts don't bother her at all.
Hearing this unexpected answer, Lu Jianhui suddenly became interested, put down his bowl of soy milk, and said, "Then we all look forward to Suisui's performance."
To read the lines fluently is just the minimum requirement for an actor in this script reading meeting. The key is to read with emotion, but for a child who is more than three years old, the requirements do not have to be so strict.

There is a long table in the meeting room, and there are two rows of cards on the table. The names of everyone present today are written on the small cards.
As the director of the entire crew, Lu Jianhui was naturally at the forefront. Gu Suisui's position is behind him, in the middle and in the front.
Today is the first script reading meeting, the scripts of the first ten episodes are discussed, and the actors present are also the main role players who will appear in the first ten episodes.
There are about fifty or sixty people in the cast of "The Alley" crew, plus producers, screenwriters, and art directors, which can almost fill up this large conference room.
"Put Sui Sui next to me, I want to see how her homework is doing." Lu Jianhui has always liked serious and hard-working actors, seeing their young actors working so hard, of course he couldn't help it Wanted to check it out for myself.
The staff on the side showed hesitation when they heard what he said, and said, "But Director Lu, the two positions next to you are starring roles." They are also the two actors with the most roles, and they are about the same size in the circle. It's not appropriate for either of them to withdraw, right
Lu Jianhui waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "They are all from the same crew, whether they are starring or not. Every actor in our show is a leading actor."
"Family in the Alley" mainly tells the story of four families living in a large courtyard at the entrance of a hutong. Everyone in the four families is the soul of this TV series. It's just a script reading session. What's the point? Starring or not, and it's not like kindergarten kids are playing games, whoever gets to the front will be rewarded.
Lu Jianhui thought for a while, and then said: "Don't move her in Sui Sui's position, I'll just sit next to her, and also, put away all these signs on the table, and let them sit here by themselves when others arrive." Find a seat in the meeting room."
When Lu Jianhui was on the set, except for filming, he was always very approachable. He ate and drank with the actors of the set, and he didn't engage in any specialization, and he didn't have any directorial airs. Everyone often chatted about the script, even if the actors were with him. He won't be angry if he disagrees with the understanding of the role.
Lu Jianhui used to hold script reading meetings very casually, just find a bigger house next to the crew, a bigger yard, move a stool, and just sit together. The overall atmosphere of the script reading meeting should be relaxed. Everyone can choose the location at will, sit wherever they are used to sitting, and sit wherever they feel comfortable.
"Okay, Director Lu, I'll go and put away all the cards on the table." The staff was stunned for a while, and finally complied with Director Lu's request.
It's just that she felt that even with such instructions, no actor would dare to sit in the middle of the conference room. Director Lu has been filming TV dramas for decades, and he has a high prestige in the industry. Even if he upholds the principle of respecting the elders, some movie kings and actresses would not dare to take this position in the presence of his elders.
Gu Suisui looked at the aunt who turned and left, and asked with a puzzled look: "Grandpa Lu, why didn't you just sit in the middle seat?" My mother told her that the person sitting in the most prominent position is generally They are all the most powerful, and aren't the most powerful directors in the entire crew
Lu Jianhui said with a smile: "Because Grandpa Lu, I will still listen to Sui Sui reading your lines later, so I can hear you more clearly if you sit closer to you."
If Lu Jianhui doesn't care about some things, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything. If you follow the rules set before, everyone else will sit in the seats set by the staff, and Sui Sui will do things alone, which will not affect her well. .
An hour later, the actors came to the meeting room one after another.
"Director Lu, everyone is here, we can start."
All the actors in the crew knew Director Lu Jianhui's temper and personality, and they all arrived on time before eight o'clock, and no one dared to be late. Because all of them know that the consequences of being late will be disastrous, and it is good to be educated publicly, even if they are afraid of being kicked out of the crew.
They lost an opportunity in vain. If this matter gets out, they will lose face.
In the early years, there was a small student who was late for the script reading meeting, not to mention, he stumbled while reading the script and was not smooth at all, so he was directly kicked out by Director Lu, and he was also rejected to play the role. The investor in the latter movie didn't use the matter of withdrawing their capital, and Director Lu directly changed the investor as well. Now that so many years have passed, the original traffic niche has long been unknown, but Director Lu is still standing tall in the TV circle.
In fact, there has always been a so-called chain of contempt for filming in the entertainment industry. People who shoot big screens look down on those who shoot small screens. Many people think that filming is several grades higher than filming TV series. But when Lu Jianhui is in the position of director, this problem does not exist. At least most film directors are not as famous as him.
The TV series directed by Lu Jianhui have always been a symbol of ratings and word of mouth. As long as it is a TV series he shoots, in the eyes of major TV stations, it is a guarantee of ratings. A few years ago, a spy war film forcibly pulled the ratings of China Satellite TV to break 2 in that time period, and even pulled the ratings to 3.05 at the end, becoming the year's highest ratings of the year.
Based on this alone, as long as it is a TV series made by director Lu Jianhui, all David TVs are scrambling to buy its premiere rights. The actors certainly wanted to be gilded along with it.
After everyone has arrived, the first script reading of "Family in the Alley" will be carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone will speak their own lines, and the narration and narrative scenes in the script will be read by the staff.
Every plot in this script reading meeting was discussed in detail. It took six hours in total, from 8 am to 3 pm, and they took a break for more than an hour in the middle. A sumptuous lunch was prepared.
The screenwriter also recorded all the big and small problems in the script that were discovered during the round-reading process this time, and recorded them in detail. When he was going back, he took the time to correct them, and then wrote down the newly revised ten episodes. The script will be distributed to each actor, trying to give everyone time to familiarize themselves with the changed parts of the script before the official start of filming on September 10th.
"Sui Sui, your performance this time is very good. If you keep working hard, I am very optimistic about you." Lu Jianhui was sitting next to Gu Suisui just now, and he could clearly hear every word she read.
There are many children who came to participate in the script reading meeting today, some are old and some are young. There are three young children who are as young as Gu Suisui. One is the beautiful and cowardly Sun Miaomiao, who is also a little girl, and the other two are little boys. They are the neighbors of the Zhou family and the Sun family in the play. Children of two families.
The other three young actors, because they were young and didn't know many words, were a little stumbling when reading their lines just now, and finally completed the task with the help and reminder of the staff on the side.
As for the remaining young actors, they were all at the age of elementary school and junior high school. After being taught by adults, there was no obstacle in reading the lines written in the script, and they could read them fluently.
But Gu Suisui is the one who reads the best lines among these children, and she is better than her brothers and sisters who are several years older than her.
It can be seen that the child Sui Sui has indeed put in a lot of effort in private.
"Grandpa Lu, don't worry, I will definitely continue to work hard." Gu Suisui clenched his fists and said seriously.
During the meeting just now, Gu Suisui thought about what he promised Grandpa Lu earlier, and he was always very serious when reading the script. Not only did she not read a word wrong, but she also tried to add her own emotions when reading the lines according to the method Papa Ke taught her yesterday.
