When she came in, Xi Xi couldn't help but look in the direction of her parents.
Yang Yi and Murphy were sitting on the chairs. In fact, they were more nervous than Xi Xi, as if this performance was a big test. But when they saw Xi Xi looking over, they both smiled and gave Xi Xi a thumbs up to encourage her.
However, the little girl couldn't take it when she looked. The director called for a stop.
The reason was obvious. Just a single glance would reveal a flaw. There was nothing there. Even the introverted and autistic Mai shouldn't be looking around like that. Moreover, Xi Xi's face was also in the camera. When she saw her parents, her subconscious expression of joy was also wrong!
Du Yuanlei didn't blame Xi Xi. She was worried that the child's ability to accept the performance was weak. She walked over and praised and comforted Xi Xi for a while. "It's okay. Your performance was very good. It's just that in this scene, everyone had a little flaw. Not only you, but Uncle Geng Sha and Grandpa Xiang also didn't act very well. Let's work together and act it well, okay?"
Xi Xi didn't have a glass heart. At first, the little girl felt that it was her own problem and blamed herself. Now that the responsibility was shared and the atmosphere of teamwork was created, she was also full of responsibility and nodded her head.
As for the specific problems, Xi Xi understood from the director's patient explanation.
In the end, Yang Yi chimed in and concluded, "There are only two points. When you enter the door later, don't look at your parents. Anyway, your parents are here to watch your performance. I believe that you will definitely perform well! The second point is that you have to play Xiao Mai. She won't speak or smile. Xi Xi, you know how to play the role of Xiao Mai. "
In fact, this scene didn't require much expression control, because Xi Xi's back was facing the camera. But Yang Yi still hoped that Xi Xi could have a little professionalism, so he had more requirements.
"I know!" Xi Xi said eagerly. "I'm going to act with Uncle Geng Sha. Papa, Mom, bye."
Wow, so enthusiastic?
After Xi Xi left, Yang Yi and Murphy looked at each other in surprise. They didn't know that Xi Xi was bursting with a sense of responsibility. She mustered all her strength and wanted to act well in this scene. She wanted to work hard together with Uncle Geng Sha and Grandpa Xiang!
There were no more problems with this shot. Xi Xi followed Geng Sha into the room and stood where she was supposed to stand. She didn't turn her head to look around and just looked at Grandpa Xiang with her big, worried eyes. She stood there like an obedient girl.
"Pass!" After Geng Sha and Xiang Jianglei finished their simple conversation, Du Yuanlei nodded in satisfaction. "Next shot!"
While Wang Chao and the others were changing positions with the camera, Du Yuanlei took the time to give Xi Xi a thumbs up, praising her good performance just now.
For children, the director was like a teacher. Their praise was like receiving a little red flower. After Xi Xi saw sister Du's thumbs up, her little face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Next was the conversation between Geng Sha and Xiang Jianglei. Xi Xi didn't need to appear in this scene, so Xi Xi could go back to her parents' side to rest.
"Very good shot." Yang Yi patted the head of the little girl who threw herself into his arms and laughed. He said with a smile, "Dad can't believe that you actually finished shooting this scene so quickly. You only had one NG!"
"What do you mean by NG?" Xi Xi blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"It means that you only need to reshoot it once! Do you know that your Uncle Guo Ziyi sometimes NGs a few times when he's filming? Even more than ten times! "Yang Yi explained to Xi Xi.
"Then, am I very powerful?" The little girl's eyebrows were curved as she smiled. Her sparkling eyes were as beautiful as little stars, but she was a little embarrassed as she asked in a low voice.
"Mm, very good!" Yang Yi praised.
"But you have to keep it up, you can't be arrogant." Murphy reminded her.
…
The one who acted better was Geng Sha!
In fact, the Wang Li played by Geng Sha was quite different from the Pally played by Martin Schott in Yang Yi's memory. However, his simple and honest face, as well as his somewhat reserved, embarrassed, and self-abased smile, could better reflect the character's situation!
It could be said that Geng Sha was almost acting as himself. The scene between Geng Sha and the veteran Teacher Xiang was also very enjoyable for the onlookers. One played the role of Wang Li who was in dire straits, and the other played the role of the old veterinarian who suffered from paranoia, making people forget what he looked like in the past!
Under their lead, Xi Xi's subsequent scenes were also more successful.
Xiang Jianglei smiled kindly and bent down. As if he was playing with a cat, he stretched out his hand, bent his fingers, and gently scratched Xi Xi's delicate little face.
The little girl's little mouth was closed, and she looked at Grandpa Xiang with her big sad eyes. However, her expression remained indifferent from the beginning to the end, and there was no change.
In fact, she laughed twice. Xi Xi couldn't hold it in. She was amused by Grandpa Xiang's doting expression and his action of playing with a cat.
However, the little girl thought that she couldn't reshoot the movie too many times, so she seriously endured it. On the third take, she perfectly portrayed the indifference of Little Wheat.
"This scene was beyond my expectations. I thought that Xi Xi would have to NG more than ten times before she could pass. I didn't expect Xi Xi to be so good. Really, she's better than I thought!" Xi Xi also received the excited praise from "Teacher Du", which made her feel so happy that she was about to fly.
…
"I still want to act in the movie." Xi Xi was bouncing around beside her mother, and she was overjoyed.
"It's still a while before it's your turn. Now, it's your father and Uncle Geng Sha's scene." Murphy brought Xi Xi to another position and found a good angle to watch Yang Yi's performance.
"PaPa is also super good at acting in movies!" Because the shooting was about to start, Xi Xi finally quieted down. She sat next to her mother, leaned on her mother's arm, and whispered.
In fact, Xi Xi didn't know so much. She was simply full of confidence in her father.
Yang Yi didn't know that his daughter had high hopes for him. Although he often fantasized about being the lead actor and playing the role he liked in the movie, this was really pushing a duck onto a perch.
He was lying on a simple "hospital bed" (a table), with a straight face and closed eyes, just like Lucas in the movie in his previous life, with a ferocious look on his face.
After all, with the "golden finger", Yang Yi had watched the original movie, and his memory could be read like a hard drive, so he could completely remember the character's every move on camera, and remember the character's expression every minute and every second.
In addition, coldness was his nature, and he didn't need to act at all. With a straight face, his strong lines gave people a fierce feeling.
Fortunately, in real life, Yang Yi had become much gentler. He was usually smiling, which was why so many children liked him, and why Xi Xi stuck to him all the time.
However, although Yang Yi acted quite well on the hospital bed, in fact, he was still very nervous.
Not only did Yang Yi not know how he acted, but he was also secretly worried that if he NGed too many times and was defeated by his daughter, wouldn't it be a little too embarrassing?
"Stop!" Du Yuanlei suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Yang Yi opened his mouth, turned his head, and looked at Du Yuanlei embarrassedly.
However, Yang Yi was too worried. Du Yuanlei didn't walk towards him, but towards Geng Sha. She said, "Geng Sha, your movements here are not right. You should put down the bag and the bear."
"I'm sorry, director, I forgot." Geng Sha also remembered, he quickly nodded and said.
"Okay, everyone, get ready!" Du Yuanlei took the loudspeaker and prepared to go back.
"Ah? Director Du, what about me? "Yang Yi asked.
"Ah?" Du Yuanlei was also a little confused. She looked at Yang Yi. "You acted quite well. Your expression is on point. Just act like you did just now!"
Du Yuanlei was right. Yang Yi imitated the original character very well. He expressed Ludi's dissatisfaction, disdain, helplessness, and speechlessness towards Wang Li.
"Oh, oh!"
Yang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that it was his fault that caused the NGs.
However, he still had to work hard!
He couldn't lose to his daughter.
…
Just as the filming was in full swing, Guo Ziyi, who had finished watching the opening of the movie, returned to school.
He didn't have any scenes today. He was supposed to help on the set, but he made an appointment with Ding Xiang. Since the school was on holiday and there weren't many customers in the coffee shop, and Yang Huan hadn't returned from her hometown yet, he would take her to an empty place in the back of the mountain to teach her how to drive.
However, when Guo Ziyi arrived at the coffee shop and saw the scene in front of him, he was furious.
