Every Saturday, an edited version of "A Gift from God" is broadcast on satellite TV on time.

It caused a huge response as soon as it was broadcast.

The two children were visibly different.

From being thin at the beginning, the body gradually became stronger and healthier.

The well-behaved girl who made people feel distressed gradually became more lively, sunny, and more and more likable.

Every week, the audience looks forward to seeing what the two brothers will look like when they appear next time.

This is the joy of raising cubs, right?

Watching the child surrounded by love, getting better little by little, the timidity and worry in his eyes slowly faded away, and he laughed heartily in front of the camera.

[Xiao He turned a variety show about raising children into a variety show about raising children. I love raising children!]

[Long press to like, to accelerate the growth of the baby——]

[At 18, I'm addicted to watching variety shows and raising my kids. Watching them improve little by little gives me such a great sense of accomplishment!]

[Since Zizi is working so hard, why don’t you work hard?]

No one can say "no" to the development system. From the age of 99 to the youngest who can just walk, almost everyone knows that there is such a pair of brothers who have experienced twists and turns and are well-behaved and sensible.

At the same time, the ratings and popularity of "God-given Gift" also soared.

Seeing that each episode would set a new record, the director was happy every day.

The popularity of brothers Xia Zhibei and Xia Zhinan also began to grow rapidly, and their popularity among passers-by was even larger than that of other artists.

Xiao He finally understood why child stars were so popular these days.

She had just arrived at the company when Brother Jian sent her a box of documents.

"These are the invitations that have come in over the past three days from various scripts and production crews. They're from movies, TV series, variety shows, and even some events. They all want to invite them to participate, and the remuneration is very high."

Since the return of "God-given Gift", the popularity of the two brothers has been increasing, but Xiao He has not helped them to get any activities, and other program teams are very anxious.

They tried every possible means to get the two of them to participate in the show, and for this purpose, their remuneration was increased several times.

Even Brother Jian was moved when he saw it. He didn't expect Xiao He to remain as still as a mountain.

"The final exams are coming soon. They missed half a year of classes and are now making up for it. Their health has just improved, and I don't want them to be too tired." Xiao He explained.

"Do you want them to leave the entertainment industry and start their own business in the future?" Brother Jian asked.

As a child star, he has such high popularity at such a young age, which is really enviable. If you want to be an artist in the future, it is best to lay a solid foundation now.

Hearing this, Xiao He remembered the determination of the two children before.

"After the exams in a few days, I will help them arrange some activities."

Brother Jian's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly handed over all the invitations in the box.

"You can see which one is suitable. I can contact the production team in advance."

There are more than ten invitations, with varying contents, including popular movie IPs and little-known TV shows. It can be said to be quite diverse.

Xiao He looked through them carefully for a while, but was not satisfied with any of them.

Because the brothers Xia Zhibei and Xia Zhinan are child stars, according to company regulations, the number of activities they can take on is limited, so every activity must be used to the best effect.

It is best to close the business for half a year and then make enough money to eat after opening.

Xiao He rejected several TV crews that offered extremely high salaries but had long shooting periods. He looked around and picked up a notice recruiting child actors at the bottom of the box.

She quickly flipped through it.

“This is good.”

Brother Jian was feeling sad that those big IPs were abandoned. When he turned around and saw what Xiao He was holding, he immediately frowned.

"You're not going to choose this, are you?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this activity?"

“It’s not about the activity.”

Brother Jian walked over and pointed to a line of small print on the invitation. "Didn't you see this? This is a public service announcement. All the stars participating in it are unpaid."

It's like free shooting.

Compared with other film salaries that often reach seven or eight figures, it is not attractive at all.

Xiao He carefully looked through the documents in his hand.

The organizer of the commercial was a non-profit organization. Director Cao Zhengping was not well-known in the industry, but Xiao He had just seen several of his films, all of which focused on people at the bottom of society.

His shooting techniques are sophisticated and his emotional rendering is on point, making him one of the rare talents in the industry.

Brother Jian saw Xiao He was always looking at documents and was worried that she would really go to audition for this advertisement.

It's so hard to get an event, we can't waste the opportunity on this.

He whispered, "And I heard that because there's no pay for this public service announcement, they haven't even recruited a single actor yet."

Chengdu is different whether you take pictures or not.

He said this to persuade Xiao He to give up.

With so many good IPs readily available, why would you audition for an unknown public service announcement?

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He nodded directly, his eyes becoming more determined.

"Okay, then I'll take them to the audition tomorrow."

The next day, Xiao He took her two children to the audition location on time.

When I arrived at the scene, I found that there were many other children here, but they were all amateurs.

Looking around, the only child actors who came to audition were the two brothers Xia Zhibei and Xia Zhinan.

It seems that Brother Jian was right, because this advertisement had no pay, no popularity, and the director was not famous, so no one was willing to participate.

At this time, all the children who came to audition gathered in the hall, making a lot of noise and laughter everywhere.

Although it was their first meeting, many of the children had already become familiar with each other and were playing games together. The situation was a bit chaotic and there were no staff to maintain order.

"Has the audition not started yet?" Xiao He asked one of the mothers who had brought her child to the audition.

The other person turned around and saw Xiao He. He was startled at first, and then he discovered the two brothers standing next to her, and he suddenly became excited.

Xia Zhibei and Xia Zhinan have always been very famous among the mothers' group.

She looked at the two of them excitedly before saying to Xiao He, "We've been here for over half an hour, and there's not a single staff member. It seems like it hasn't started yet, right?"

At this time, other people in the hall gradually discovered the presence of the two brothers, and several children ran over happily and invited them to play games together.

Xia Zhinan turned and asked Chao Xiaohe.

"Sister, can we go?"

Xiao He looked at his brother, who was also looking at him expectantly.

Although they have been in the industry for a long time, this was the first time they saw so many children from the same industry, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

"Go ahead."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them were immediately delighted, followed a few children out, and gathered in the corner of the hall to play games.

Soon, the two brothers mingled with the other children and laughter could be heard everywhere.

Xiao He looked around and felt something strange.

This is the interview location listed in the job posting.

Even if the director didn't arrive, there should have been someone on the scene to maintain order, but after waiting for so long, not a single staff member showed up.

If it weren't for the sign at the door saying "Advertising Audition Location", she would even suspect that she had come to the wrong place.

Moreover, the notice said that the audition would start at 10 am, and it was already 20 minutes past.

Director Cao Zhengping has always been serious about filming and never late. Why is this happening today?

Xiao He was thinking about this when several people on the second floor of the hall were standing in the blind spot of the first floor, carefully observing every child in the hall.

Carefully observe each child's appearance, behavior patterns and personality before screening.

They have been observing here for a full twenty minutes.

The more he looked, the tighter Cao Zhengping's brows furrowed.

"No, this one won't work either..."

"There are more than 20 kids here, why can't I find one that I want?"

The assistant beside him looked nervous. He looked at the list in his hand and found that everyone was eliminated. No wonder the director was so annoyed.

He looked around and saw the twins playing games in the distance. His eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly said, "Director, what do you think of them? These two brothers are very popular recently. They are very popular and look cute."

Hearing this, Cao Zhengping looked in the direction of his finger.

Seeing Xia Zhibei and Xia Zhinan wearing beautiful clothes, with rosy complexions, jumping in the sun, with happy smiles on their faces, he immediately shook his head.

"No, I'm shooting a public service announcement. I need a child who can evoke the audience's sympathy at first glance. He should at least look thin and pitiful to fit the role. None of them meet my requirements."

These children in front of me are so well-grown, with rosy complexions and faces full of happiness and joy. It is obvious that they have been surrounded by love since childhood and grew up in an ivory tower.

How can a child like this act out the feeling he wants?

When the staff heard this request, they were also troubled.

"So what should we do? We can't deliberately torture a child just to film a commercial, right?"

Cao Zhengping frowned.

He sighed and said, "Keep looking. If it doesn't work, expand the search. I don't believe we can't find a child who meets the requirements in the entire country."

After saying that, he turned and left without even looking at the people in the hall.

The other staff members looked at the crowd in the hall and felt a little embarrassed.

"What should I do now?"

The assistant said, "Explain the situation. Everyone is eliminated."

At this moment, Xiao He was observing the surrounding environment and caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly walking by the stairs, who looked a bit like the director.

Just as she was about to follow, several staff members walked in quickly.

The parents who had been waiting for a long time quickly gathered around and asked questions one after another.

"When do auditions start?"

"Why hasn't the director come yet? We've been waiting here for a long time."

…

The staff member raised his hand and raised his voice:

"Actually, the auditions started twenty minutes ago. The director just carefully observed every child present on the second floor. Unfortunately, no suitable actors were selected."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

here we go?

They all looked towards the second floor.

But now the crew had already left, and there was no one to be seen.

This was the first time they had heard of such an audition. They were eliminated without doing anything?

The parents complained dissatisfiedly.

The staff member seemed to have guessed this would happen and immediately had a car pushed in, saying:

"The crew has prepared a small gift for everyone, please forgive me."

After hearing this, everyone's resentment finally dissipated, and they walked over one after another to get the gifts.

Xiao He was caught off guard.

So the figure I saw at the stairs just now was indeed Cao Zhengping?

She turned to look at the two brothers.

They had been longing to participate in the event to help Xiao He make money and supplement the family income. Today they finally got their wish. They were full of confidence when they came and felt that they would definitely succeed.

But I didn’t expect that I would be eliminated before it even started.

The two were deeply shocked and stood there in a daze, their faces full of surprise.

"Why?"

Xiao He also wanted to know why.

She quickly walked into the crowd and, instead of accepting the gift, asked the staff, "Can you tell us why everyone was eliminated?"

Without testing acting skills, Director Cao Zhengping judged everyone's qualifications based solely on observation, so he must have some requirements for appearance.

As soon as Xiao He opened his mouth, everyone turned to look.

The staff member explained: "The director said that he wanted to find children who met the requirements of the public service announcement, so I'm sorry, none of you met his requirements."

The answer was somewhat ambiguous, but Xiao He seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly took out the flyer he had received earlier and looked through every detail on it.

After watching for a while, he found some public service announcements and observed them carefully.

"Sister, are we really eliminated?"

At this time, Xia Zhibei asked in a low voice.

Xiao He looked up at the two children and instantly discovered the problem.

In successful public service advertisements, the actors are mostly pitiful and helpless. A broken look or a subtle gesture can touch the heart of every viewer.

Therefore, in most advertisements of the same type, people with real experiences are chosen to appear in the roles.

Use the purest performance to achieve the deepest touch.

But these two brothers...

She raised me so well.

The brokenness and pain of the past have now been replaced by happiness, her complexion is rosy and her face is filled with laughter.

In Cao Zhengping's opinion, how could such a child possibly perform the sense of brokenness he wanted?

So, after careful observation on the second floor, he eliminated everyone.

After listening to Xiao He's explanation, Xia Zhinan widened his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said:

"As long as we become the same as before, can we shoot commercials?"

He has a lot of experience in this regard.

As long as Xiao He gave the order, he would immediately go on a hunger strike and transform himself into the same person as before as quickly as possible.

Although it is a bit painful, he is willing to do it as long as he can make money!

Seeing his desperate expression, Xiao He smiled and said:

"No, we don't rely on appearance, we rely on acting skills."

Who are Xia Zhinan and Xia Zhibei?

More than a month ago, this child was still living in the basement and had been devastated by life countless times, but he was still able to get through it with strength.

He was only nine years old, but he deceived the entire program crew and even all the audience with his acting skills.

Don’t think that just because these two brothers are cute, they are idols.

He is definitely a talented person.

Has Cao Zhengping never seen "A Gift from Heaven"?
