The movie "The Fugitive" finally started shooting. Today, most of the crew arrived at a private clinic in Tingshan District. Although it was the first day of shooting, the progress of the shooting wouldn't start with the prison scene. After all, there were children in this movie, so the priority should be to finish the children's scenes first, so that it wouldn't be difficult to arrange later.
Xi Xi also came to the set with her father. Many of the people shooting the movie were familiar faces, such as Wang Chao, who was in charge of the camera, and Zhu Liyang, who was in charge of the lighting. They were all part of Du Yuanlei's team. After many years of cooperation, they were very familiar with each other. Wang Chao and Zhu Liyang's skills were also trustworthy.
Long Ni, the makeup artist from the "Fairy Tale" crew, was demoted this time. She was the assistant of the newly hired makeup artist, Xiao Ran. The makeup for this scene was more complicated. For example, Guo Ziyi needed to be made to look older. Long Ni couldn't do such a complicated makeup technique, so Long Ni had to learn from Xiao Ran.
In the past, Xi Xi often went to the set of "Fairy Tale" with her father. These familiar faces made Xi Xi feel familiar with the environment.
On the contrary, today, because Mo Fei wanted to see her daughter act for the first time, Xixi was very lively with her parents around. Sometimes, she would hold her father's hand curiously and ask him to take her to see the structure of the clinic. Sometimes, she would even take the initiative to run to Geng Xia and look at him curiously.
Today, the little girl was dressed very seriously. Because they were going to shoot the movie, Yang Yi and Murphy had already changed Xi Xi into a "costume" at home. In fact, it was a primary school uniform that Yang Yi had asked someone to tailor for Xi Xi.
It was a white collared shirt, a blue cashmere button-up jacket, and a long blue school uniform skirt that hung down to her feet. She had only put on her coat when she entered the private clinic with an air-conditioned environment. However, on the whole, the little girl's cuteness had a scholarly air to it. She was charming and made people feel pity for her.
The little girl's shiny black hair was straightened by Murphy, like a waterfall hanging down her back. Under the light, it reflected a beautiful and smooth color. The bangs on her forehead had also been trimmed neatly. At first glance, the little girl had a strict temperament that did not match her age.
Of course, it couldn't be seen now. Xi Xi was blinking her big eyes with a smile on her face. She was moving around like a lively and cute little elf.
If Du Yuanlei hadn't arranged for Xi Xi to audition, and the little girl in the audition had shown Wang Mai's fear, apathy, and pitifulness, Yang Yi would have found it hard to believe that Xi Xi could play the role well.
"Hello, little girl. Hello." Geng Sha was a little restless. He scratched his head and greeted Xi Xi with a silly smile. "You're Yang Yi's son, right?"
In his nervousness, he even made a slip of the tongue.
"Hehe, I'm not a son. I'm a girl. I'm my papa's daughter! My PaPa is Yang Yi. " When Xi Xi heard the problem, she couldn't help giggling. The strange feeling between her and this little uncle suddenly disappeared a lot.
"Yes, yes, you're your father's daughter!" Geng Sha said with self-blame, "Look at me. I'm so nervous that I'm not right."
Xi Xi didn't answer him this time. Instead, she was thinking about her previous question. She looked at Geng Sha curiously and said, "Uncle, are you going to play my PaPa in the movie? My PaPa is my real PaPa, and then my PaPa said that you have to pretend to be my PaPa, but only in the movie … "
Two days ago, when Yang Yi told Xi Xi the story of the role she was going to play, the little girl was still struggling for a long time. It was also when Yang Yi explained clearly that Wang Mai in the movie was not the real her, and that Wang Mai's father in the movie was not her father that Xi Xi understood and accepted this arrangement.
Therefore, when Xixi was talking to Geng Sha today, she went through a lot of trouble and said a lot of things. It was rare that the little girl didn't mess up such a talkative thing. In her heart, it was obvious that she was very clear about these relationships.
But this tongue twister of "my PaPa is not my PaPa" made Geng Sha dizzy.
He scratched his ears and cheeks in confusion and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, little girl, can you say it again?"
Yang Yi came over, patted Xi Xi's little head, and said to Geng Sha with a smile, "It's okay. She said that you're just the father of her character in the movie."
"He's not my PaPa!" Xixi nodded and added, as if she hadn't had enough.
"Yes, yes, of course I'm not your father. Your father is Brother Yang." Geng Sha smiled.
…
The first scene was when Wang Li came in through the door with Wang Mai and met the veterinarian grandpa Hao Shi, who had just woken up and came downstairs. The main dialogue was done by Geng Sha, who played Wang Li, and the old professor of Jiangchuan Film Academy, who played Hao Shi. Xi Xi, who played Wang Mai, didn't have any lines.
However, this role was indeed like that. In this movie, Wang Mai basically didn't need to speak. She only needed to act with her eyes and actions.
Although Xi Xi had a good memory, she didn't need to memorize lines, which was also a kind of liberation for the little girl's ability.
"Okay, everyone, take your places!" Du Yuanlei held a loudspeaker in her hand and shouted.
When the shooting was about to start, Yang Yi squatted down and tidied up Xi Xi's clothes for the last time. Murphy was also on the side, stroking her big belly, and anxiously cheering for Xi Xi, "Xi Xi, don't be nervous. You can do it. Mom believes in you!"
"There's no need to be nervous. Just act like you did in the audition. Dad thinks you're very good." Yang Yi also gently put his hand on Xi Xi's little shoulder and said softly.
The little girl blinked her big eyes. It was unknown whether it was because she had grown up a little or some other reason, but she didn't act like last year. Her little face was tight, but she stuck out her little tongue, a little mischievous giggle, and said, "I'm not nervous!"
However, it was impossible for her not to be nervous at all!
When Geng Sha came over and brought Xi Xi to the door to prepare for the shoot, Xi Xi, who didn't see her parents, finally realized that she was going to shoot a scene and had to face those big cameras. The little girl gently clenched her little fists, and a nervous expression began to show on her little face.
"It's okay. The director said just now, you just need to follow me and walk in with your back facing the camera. You just need to look at Teacher Xiang." Geng Sha was very attentive in preparing for his scenes. Hence, although he was also a little nervous, he had memorized the lines by heart. Moreover, as he had filmed many scenes before, he could be considered to have some experience. When he saw Xi Xi lowering her little head slightly, he knew that she was the same as when he first started filming, so he kindly comforted her.
Xi Xi raised her head and blinked her big eyes. Although children were not well-versed in worldly affairs, their pure hearts were like a mirror that could clearly reflect other people's attitude toward them. Xixi could feel that this short uncle was helping her out of the goodness of his heart.
"Mm!" The little girl's voice was soft as she responded.
"You don't have to worry about anything else. Just follow my footsteps and stay behind me. Uncle will help you!" Geng Sha seemed to have also felt Xi Xi's trust, and he instantly felt a sense of responsibility.
"Alright, let's start!" The director's voice was heard.
"Let's go!" Geng Sha said in a low voice. He held the teddy bear under his arm and carried a black luggage bag as he pushed the door open and walked in.
Xi Xi hurriedly followed in small steps.
It was her first time shooting such an important scene. How would Xi Xi's performance be?
