Yeah, how would he know if he didn't try?
Murphy's words also made Yang Yi fall into deep thought.
Seeing that Yang Yi didn't say anything, Murphy smiled and said, "Actually, I think you've fallen into two misconceptions. First, you think that Xi Xi shouldn't do anything. Then, have you tried to understand what Xi Xi thinks?"
After all, Murphy grew up in America. Some of her thoughts weren't as traditional as Chinese parents. She advocated free will, which meant that she shouldn't interfere with other people's thoughts, including her own children.
Other than some necessary behavior norms, Murphy rarely forced Xi Xi to do anything. For example, Murphy once tried to teach Xi Xi some music theory knowledge, but Xi Xi felt that it was too boring and too profound. She didn't like to listen to it, so she temporarily gave up.
In response to Murphy's question, Yang Yi gently shook his head. Did Xi Xi want to play this role? Yang Yi really hadn't asked her.
"Second, even if Xi Xi is very willing to act in this movie, it doesn't mean that she has to keep acting in movies and interact with the complicated entertainment industry," Murphy said with a smile.
Yang Yi's eyes lit up and he asked, "What does that mean? She doesn't have to interact with the entertainment industry?"
"It's very simple! This is your movie. No one can go over you and ask Xi Xi to do anything. So, if you don't want Xi Xi to interact with the entertainment industry, we can just go home after the movie. After that, Xi Xi doesn't have to participate in any publicity or distribution. She also doesn't have to be interviewed by reporters or the media, "Murphy said.
"It's just like last time when Xi Xi showed her face at the concert and then left. She's only there to act in the movie. She has nothing to do with anything else, "Murphy added.
Yang Yi could reluctantly accept it if it was just to act in a movie, like a guest star or just for fun.
"It's just like going to the amusement park or the park. We'll take Xi Xi to the filming site for a few days. Then, we'll take her to the cinema to watch her movie, right?" Yang Yi understood. He smiled and said, "In this way, even if Xi Xi really likes acting, we don't have to let her come into contact with those complicated problems too early. She can just have fun and have fun!"
Murphy nodded and said, "That's right. However, it's useless for us to talk about it now. You have to ask Xi if she likes acting in movies. If she doesn't like it, then everything we've said before will be in vain!"
Yang Yi called his daughter, who was walking the dog, back. Looking at the little girl's innocent big eyes, he considered his words and asked, "Xi Xi, Dad wants to ask you, do you like acting in movies?"
The little girl immediately became interested. She pulled the steamed stuffed bun, who was about to walk forward, and asked happily, "I know about acting in movies. I've acted in a movie with Xin Er and PaPa!"
"I'm not asking if you've acted in a movie before. I'm asking you, how did you feel after acting in a movie last time? Did you like it? "Yang Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Murphy chimed in, "Your PaPa is asking you, is it fun to act in a movie?"
"It's fun, but Xin Er and the others don't like it. Xin Er likes to eat cake. Sister Ding Xiang makes cakes." The little girl habitually digressed from the topic. Because of this, she was a little depressed.
"Then if there's a chance to act in a movie now, would you want to give it a try?" Murphy asked.
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes. She was a little emotional. The little girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily. She waved the leash holding the steamed stuffed bun and said, "I want to act in a movie, because, because I like acting in movies."
"The role you want to play is like this. She's a little girl who doesn't like to talk and can't smile. She can only keep her mouth shut. She often has to be in a daze or stare blankly at something," Yang Yi said. "Xi Xi, do you think you can keep your mouth shut?"
Yang Yi was deeply skeptical.
However, Xi Xi understood her father's words. The little girl covered her mouth with her two small hands, then looked at her father with smiling eyes.
Yang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "No, if you don't talk, you're not covering your mouth. You're very introverted and don't like to smile."
Murphy reminded Xi Xi and said, "It's just like when you played the role of Ugly Duckling. You keep acting, but you can't talk or smile. By the way, it's similar to your good friend Qiqi. Xi Xi, didn't you tell Mom that she often sits alone in a daze? You can learn from her and stare blankly for Dad. "
Xi Xi understood. She jumped happily and said, "I know, I know Qiqi doesn't talk."
"Papa, look!" The little girl actively pulled her father's hand.
Then, Xi Xi's eyebrows drooped. She pursed her lips and looked ahead sadly.
At this moment, the little girl's delicate little face seemed to be covered with a cloud of sadness, and her lowered little eyes seemed to become a little dull.
However, perhaps because Xi Xi wasn't autistic, she didn't feel cold, and she didn't have the loneliness that kept people thousands of miles away. She was just sad. She was very similar to Yang Luoqi, like the ostracized Ugly Duckling, and also like the little girl with soft blonde hair in Yang Yi's memory of the movie!
Amazing! Yang Yi looked at the little girl's performance with some surprise.
Not only Yang Yi, but Murphy also felt that Xi Xi's performance was a little beyond her mother's imagination.
"That's enough!" Yang Yi patted Xi Xi's little shoulder and said with emotion, "Xi Xi, it seems that Dad underestimated you."
Xixi immediately recovered from her sad appearance just now. She took her father's hand and shook it with a smile. She couldn't stop loving him for even a moment.
"Xi Xi, how did you do it? You acted very well! "Murphy asked curiously.
Xi Xi looked at her mother strangely and said, "Mom, you told me!"
"Ah?"
"I want to be like Qiqi, and then I'll be like Qiqi. I'll even laugh like Qiqi!" Xixi said happily, "And I'll eat like Xin 'er."
After saying that, she smacked her lips and imitated Lan Xin's mouth shape and posture when she greedily ate the cake. Although it was just a little similar, it was still very interesting. It made her parents laugh. The little girl puffed out her chest as if she had been praised. She was in a good mood!
After Xi Xi finished her imitation game, she continued to walk in front with Steamed Bun. Yang Yi said with emotion to Murphy, "It turns out that Xi Xi's imitation ability is so strong. She is indeed a little talented in acting."
Murphy smiled and said, "That's because you didn't observe carefully. Usually when she comes back from kindergarten and tells you the interesting things that happened in kindergarten, doesn't she often imitate the children in her class?"
"Then let Xi Xi play! She also likes it … Anyway, in this movie, Wang Mai doesn't need good acting skills, and she doesn't have any lines. It's not bad to let her have some special experience! "Yang Yi finally made up his mind.
"What about you?" Murphy looked at Yang Yi with interest and asked cheerfully.
"Me? I … I don't know … "
Murphy smiled and said, "This is the first time you have hesitated. It's not that you are determined to say that you don't want to! It means that you still have some ideas. "
Yang Yi frowned and said in confusion, "But I told you before that I don't like to show my face. If I can stay at home or sit quietly in a coffee shop and read, that's enough."
"But you actually like to make movies, right?" Murphy said.
"Ah?" Yang Yi was a little surprised.
"I also suddenly have a very strange feeling. If I say something wrong, you can't blame me!" Murphy held Yang Yi's hand and said pitifully.
Yang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gently rubbed Murphy's head and said, "Why would I blame you? If you have something to say, just say it! "
"Actually, I think you are quite interested in making movies!" Murphy said.
"No, didn't you see that after I threw this project to Du Yuanlei, I didn't care about it anymore?" Yang Yi denied.
"It's not that you are interested in all aspects of making a movie. Of course, you are not interested in such trivial preparations. But you might be interested in the process of making a movie! " Murphy gave an example. "Just like the last time when you were shooting Fairy Tale, didn't you often go to the set to watch others shooting?"
"I had nothing else to do at that time. I just went to take a look." Yang Yi said, but he was a little unsure.
"But you usually have nothing else to do at home, right?" Murphy analyzed. "You went to the set because you have such a desire in your heart."
"If you were not interested, how could you write so many interesting stories? If you were not interested, why would you make up such a script for Du Yuanlei? " Murphy continued. "You might as well ask yourself, do you really not like movies and acting? Or, you just don't want to get too much attention, so you put your real self in a small cage? "
After spending so much time with Yang Yi, Murphy was the person who understood him the most in the world. Her words made Yang Yi stand there in a daze.
Is it really like what Murphy said?
Yang Yi thought of his previous life. When he was not on a mission in his secret house, he was free and could fly freely in his own world.
He knew how to play the violin. He imagined himself and David Grett appearing from the back of the audience at the concert venue. In front of countless people, they would intoxicatedly play "He's a Pirate" (the theme song of the Pirates of the Caribbean) as they walked down the stage coolly.
He would also open his mouth and sing silently, as if he were Pavarotti, standing on the Forbidden City, singing "My Sun" with Domingo and Carreras.
He would also hold a pistol, wear sunglasses, a round knitted hat, overalls, and a round neck T-shirt, and pretend to be Jean Reno, playing the role of Leon in "Léon: The Killer."
Does he like acting in movies? Maybe he didn't like singing as much as Mo Fei, but he might be interested in acting in movies. He wanted to play the role that he liked in the movies that he liked!
Then, is "Rudy"?
Yes, this character and Wang Mai were Yang Yi's two favorite characters in this movie. It was a bit like Leon and Mathilda in "Léon: The Killer."
"Papa! Hurry up! "Xi Xi's giggles brought Yang Yi back from his memories.
Yang Yi continued to walk forward, and then said to Murphy, "You are right. Out of self-protection, I don't want to be like a celebrity and be watched by the media. So, maybe I suppressed my original desire. "
Mo Fei seemed to be a little distressed as she hugged Yang Yi tightly and said softly, "But now, although we have been noticed by the media, our life is still okay. It's not as bad as you think, right?"
Her attitude of keeping Xi Xi a secret was actually very similar to Yang Yi's.
"Yes." Yang Yi nodded.
"Then there is no need to worry too much. You can do what you want to do. If you don't like acting and don't like playing this role, you can generously refuse to Xiao Du. If you really want to act and don't like the entertainment circle, you can be like Xi Xi, just like you are now. Just focus on acting and don't care about so many complicated things, "Murphy said.
Murphy was teaching by example, and she was the same. If she didn't like it, then she didn't like it. She just focused on her own music and didn't pretend to be polite with others.
This conversation made Yang Yi suddenly enlightened, as if the knot in his heart had been untied. He showed a smile on his face.
"I understand. Thank you, my wife, for your guidance!" Yang Yi pulled out his hand, turned around, hugged Murphy's face, kissed her fragrant red lips, and then said with a smile.
This was outdoors! Murphy's face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Xi Xi, who was running around happily in front of her. While hammering Yang Yi, she said reproachfully, "Why did you suddenly attack again? What if someone saw us?"
