"Xiao Luo, is this the little girl from Jinxin Kindergarten?"
Director Fang Rui looked away from the monitor screen, with a little disappointment in his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the little girl under the camera.
Luo Bingqi, the director's assistant at the side, was a little guilty when he was questioned by the director.
Luo Bingqi's eyes were erratic, and he hesitated for two seconds before answering: "Yes, yes."
Fang Rui was preoccupied with the crew's affairs, completely oblivious to Luo Bingqi's abnormal expression, and the disappointment in his eyes grew worse.
Seeing that the start of the film is about to arrive, all the preparations have been completed, except that the only young actor in the play has not yet found a suitable candidate.
Finding a child who fits the role is much more difficult than finding an adult who feels right.
Adults can basically interpret the characters well as long as their image fits the characters well and their acting skills are excellent.
But children are different.
For children who are only three or four years old and who are ignorant, they can't ask for too much acting skills, but more about the presentation of aura.
Acting skills can be polished, but aura is born.
The little girl in front of me looks pretty cute, but the fit between the image and the character is not great. Of course, this is not the most important thing, after all, the image can be saved through styling.
The most important thing is that the performance in the audition just now does not have the innocence and agility of a child, and there is always a hint of maturity in the eyes that should not be there at this age.
Fang Rui shook his head, this was not the feeling he wanted at all.
Fang Rui recalled the situation when he went to the kindergarten to find young actors a week ago.
He remembered that the little girl he met in Jinxin Kindergarten was very spiritual, which made him feel very bright.
How did it change when I arrived at the audition scene
Could it be caused by tension
He tried his best to recall the appearance of that little girl, but the specific appearance was already blurred, but those big eyes were very agile, completely different from the eyes of the little girl in front of him.
There seems to be some difference in body shape.
Fang Rui was puzzled, but he wasn't sure if he remembered it wrong.
In the past month, they went to dozens of kindergartens and met thousands of girls. There were hundreds of them who came to audition just because they thought it was good. He couldn't remember the appearance of a certain child.
But the more Fang Rui thought about it, the more he felt that the little girl in front of him was not the same person as the little girl in his mind.
Fang Rui turned to Luo Bingqi, the assistant in charge of this matter, and said, "Xiao Luo, bring me the video you took at Jinxin Kindergarten and let me have a look."
He wanted to see what happened that day again.
Luo Bingqi didn't get up when he heard Fang Rui's words. He nervously squeezed his hands into his palms and replied, "Director Fang, Xiao Zhou told me this morning that the kindergarten video material was lost."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"I thought those recorded videos were not important, and you have been busy, Director Fang...so I didn't tell you."
"you!"
Fang Rui was angry, but in the end he held back his anger and sat down on the chair dejectedly.
If the crew can't start up on time, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and they will have to face the pressure from producers, employers, and actors.
Fang Rui felt a headache just thinking about it.
But he didn't want to just find a young actor to deal with it. This would be irresponsible for the work, and it would also ruin his reputation.
Luo Bingqi saw that Fang Rui, who had always been assertive, looked as if frost had hit an eggplant at this moment, and felt a little guilty in his heart.
He raised his head to look at the little girl who was resting by the side, recalling the promise made by the girl's mother, the feeling of guilt immediately disappeared.
He said to Fang Rui: "Director Fang, why don't we give Zou Xinrui one more chance, kid, it's understandable for you to behave poorly when you first arrive in an unfamiliar environment."
Hearing this, Fang Rui looked at Zou Xinrui. The little girl was sitting obediently on a chair and looking around the set, but when she caught his gaze, she immediately lowered her head and pretended to be reading a book.
Fang Rui sighed and shook his head.
"No need."
Everyone in modern society attaches great importance to education, for fear that their children will start later than other children and lose at the starting line.
This is not bad, but it will make some children mature prematurely, bear pressure, and lose the innocence that children should have.
When Luo Bingqi heard this, he knew it was over.
****
In the lounge outside the audition room, Zou Lixiang was anxiously waiting for the audition inside.
This is a movie by the famous director Fang Rui. If Ruirui can successfully audition, then she will successfully step into the entertainment industry and become a child star.
Think about how well those entertainers who were born as child stars in the circle are doing well, gaining both fame and fortune, and the whole family enjoys the blessings.
When Zou Lixiang thought that his precious daughter was about to become a big star, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and covered his mouth and laughed softly.
The door of the lounge was made of glass, and when Zou Lixiang saw someone passing by, he immediately put away his smile, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Lu sitting on the chair stretching out his hand to pull the mask on his face, which was about to be torn off.
Her expression changed, and she hurried over to put on Lu Lu's mask, for fear that her face would be exposed.
He shouldn't have brought Lu Lu here today. In the past, if he didn't take Lu Lu out, he would lock her at home.
But recently, a little girl in the neighborhood next door was locked at home by her mother, and she choked to death on walnut kernels.
After the neighbors learned about this, they all came to tell her not to leave Lu Lu alone at home, for fear of accidents.
Ever since Lu Yuanzhou left in an accident, these neighbors have been gossiping behind her back, saying that she took over the family property but treated Lu Lu badly.
What do these people know? Even if she and Lu Yuanzhou have only been married for half a year, she has the same inheritance rights as her daughter. As for saying that she treats Lu Lu badly, it is really ridiculous.
She has no blood relationship with Lu Lu, so sending her to school and giving her food is the utmost benevolence.
Zou Lixiang didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, but the community property management and the neighborhood committee were meddling in their own business, and had already talked to her several times.
There was no other way, Zou Lixiang could only bring Lu Lu out together, but he was afraid that this girl Lu Lu would steal Ruirui's limelight, so he put a mask on her and changed into an unremarkable dress.
Fortunately, because of the epidemic some time ago, it is not surprising to wear masks indoors.
Lu Lu was a little angry when she saw that she had managed to tear off half of the mask and put it back on again.
Lu Lu's small face was swollen with anger, and he stared at Zou Lixiang with a fierce face with his eyes wide open.
Lulu, whose body is a rare koi carp with silver and gold trim, was a little at a loss.
When Uncle Tianshen asked her to come to the human world to do tasks, he clearly told her that human beings like koi very much.
They are begging for koi possession every day.
But she is possessed, why are you still so fierce to her
Lu Lu couldn't figure it out. Uncle Tianshen hadn't injected human memory into her yet, so her mind was empty now, and she didn't know who the person in front of her was.
But she can sense whether others have good intentions or malice towards her.
Lu Lu frowned in dissatisfaction, she stretched out her chubby hand to pull off the mask that made her uncomfortable due to the sweltering heat, but was stopped by the woman.
"Lu Lu, are you disobedient!"
The little hand was imprisoned suddenly, Lu Lu was very angry but did not cry.
She tore off the mask with all her strength, threw it on the ground, and shouted in a small temper: "Idiot human being, I am a koi, you will not have good luck if you bully me!"
Lu Lu thought that he had used the fiercest expression, which was enough to deter stupid human beings.
Unexpectedly, Zou Lixiang was not frightened at all, but became more fierce than before.
Seeing the woman raised her hand and was about to hit her, she heard a shout.
"Mother!"
Zou Lixiang immediately stopped his hands when he saw his precious daughter, and put a smile on his face, and had no time to care about Lu Lu.
She held Zou Xinrui in her arms, kissed her cheek, and asked with concern: "Ruirui, how are you doing?"
Zou Xinrui put her arms around Zou Lixiang's neck and said nothing, feeling depressed.
Luo Bingqi, who led Zou Xinrui out, spoke now, "Mother Ruirui, please take a step to speak."
Zou Lixiang put down his daughter in his arms, gave Lu Lu a cold look, and pinched his daughter's cheek dotingly.
She warned: "You two just stay in the lounge and don't go anywhere. Uncle Luo and I have something to talk about."
Zou Xinrui nodded when she heard her mother's words, and after Zou Lixiang went out, she looked at Lu Lu today.
An old dusty dress, and no nice braids, it can't be compared with her in the princess dress.
Her depressed mood instantly found a outlet to vent, she stretched out her hand and pushed Lu Lu, and shouted: "Get out of the way, ugly duckling."
Lu Lu had never heard the story of the ugly duckling, so she didn't know the meaning of the word, but she felt the maliciousness of the little girl in front of her, exactly the same as the woman just now.
Lu Lu supported the chair without falling down, she asked dissatisfiedly: "Why did you push me!"
Zou Xinrui, who pushed someone just now, refused to admit it now, and insisted, "I didn't push!"
"Push!"
Zou Xinrui is one year older than Lu Lu and knows more, so she argued, "Then you show evidence!"
When in the lake, all the creatures at the bottom of the lake played very well. Where has Lu Lu seen such a posture
She couldn't come up with evidence, and she was a little anxious.
Seeing this, Zou Xinrui proudly said: "You have no evidence, so you are lying!"
"Lu Lu, you liar!"
Brother Jiaolong told her when she was a child that lying is bad behavior, and that liar must be a bad monster.
After she finished her tasks in the human world, she was going to leap over the Dragon Gate. After crossing the Dragon Gate, she and Brother Jiaolong could become real dragons and rank among the immortals.
But bad monsters cannot be ranked in the fairy class.
Thinking of this, Lu Lu's anxious tears welled up in his eyes, but when he thought of the purpose of her coming to the world, he suppressed the tears again.
She wants to be the bravest little koi.
Lu Lu retorted: "I'm not a bad monster, I'm a good monster! I'll be a real dragon in the future."
The dragon is the leader of all scale insects and the head of the four spirits. It represents the sacred imperial power and commands the world.
She felt that Zou Xinrui should understand that a big leader would not lie.
Zou Xinrui glanced at Lu Lu like an idiot, and then didn't bother to talk to her.
Seeing that Zou Xinrui didn't respond, she was worried that she didn't hear clearly, so she straightened her back, patted her belly proudly and emphasized again.
"I will be a super powerful dragon in the future, if you push me, I will curse you for retribution!"
Their carp family has been a symbol of good luck since ancient times, and she, as a colorful and rare koi, is a symbol of luck.
Not liking her is tantamount to pushing good luck out, and bullying her will result in retribution.
However, Zou Xinrui didn't take it seriously, and asked, "I'm not afraid."
Lu Lu put her hands on her hips, she pouted and said angrily:
"Hmph, I want to curse you for having endless homework every day!"
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he crossed his hips and looked at Zou Xinrui with a sympathetic expression.
"It's terrible! It's too late for you to say sorry now."
