"Uncle Ruan, I want to try it again. Can you explain it to me again?" Zhao Chengqian clenched his fists and said.
"Okay." Uncle Ruan didn't intend to give up easily.
Seeing how serious he was, he called the screenwriter over to explain the play to Zhao Chengqian, and also called the actors from the crew, such as the prince and the princess, to get familiar with Zhao Chengqian so that they could act together.
"Look at this part. The King of Chu rebelled and surrounded the entire Eastern Palace. Many people died in the Eastern Palace, and the Crown Prince committed suicide."
"What emotions do you think the Crown Prince and his son should have?"
"Sad, upset, and angry, right? Look at this video. The actor's expression and movements are exactly that feeling. Do you feel it?"
The screenwriter took out a tablet and took out some TV drama clips to explain to Zhao Chengqian.
She spoke with great passion and enthusiasm, and felt that what she said was really great. Her understanding was truly amazing, simple and easy to understand, and children would definitely be able to understand it.
Zhao Chengqian looked at the male artist in the video who was shouting hysterically, "..."
Seeing that he was still confused, the screenwriter suppressed his emotions and asked, "So how do you feel?"
Zhao Chengqian: "Childish, he's very unstable."
Screenwriter: “…” It felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water on my head.
"No, I'm not asking you to judge this actor... That's not right."
"Why is he so childish and unstable? This is a movie, how can he perform well for the audience without more expressive expressions?"
The key point is that this video is the script she modified.
Zhao Chengqian: "He's the emperor, how could he be so stupid... Emperors from ancient times didn't easily express their emotions, and he's not young anymore... He's been on the throne for so many years, if he was like this, he would have died many times over."
The screenwriter was silent. She actually thought that what this guy said was quite right!
"Well... then what do you think it should be like?"
"Even if he feels uncomfortable, he shouldn't be so rude and disregard the royal family's dignity."
Zhao Chengqian pointed at the actor's exaggerated movements on the screen.
The screenwriter nodded seriously, as if thinking about something. "That's right... He's an emperor..."
"No, we are discussing the current script..."
Screenwriter: I was almost led astray by this kid.
"Okay, if you don't feel any emotion from these videos, then go find one yourself. Imagine if your parents were wrongly persecuted or about to die. How would you feel? Now you should understand."
Zhao Chengqian nodded and lowered his eyes to ponder what the screenwriter said.
Ruanruan ran over with the water bottle in her arms, "Hey, little brother, have a drink of water."
"Thank you." Zhao Chengqian took the water bottle from Ruanruan's hand, unscrewed it, tilted his head back and drank a few sips.
Ruanruan sat beside him, shaking her little feet and looking sideways at Zhao Chengqian.
"Come on, little brother! Ruanruan thinks you can do it."
Ruanruan made a fist-holding gesture towards Xiaogan.
"Uh-huh."
Not long after, the crew started filming again.
Under the anxious gazes of everyone around him, Zhao Chengqian thought of his great-grandfather who was wronged, his father who was implicated and demoted to Qingzhou, and his mother who was seriously ill. He felt as if a huge stone was stuffed into his chest, making him feel uncomfortable and tears fell from his eyes unknowingly.
The prince held a sword to his neck and said with a bitter smile, "Take Nan'er and go. The farther the better. Don't return to the capital!"
"Nan'er, your father can't accompany you any longer. You must live well from now on."
"Father! Father!" Zhao Chengqian couldn't help but want to rush over, his small body trembling, but he was stopped by the guards.
The lines were obviously wrong, but the director didn't call for stop, so everyone had no choice but to continue.
He was taken away by his servants and taken to a paradise on the mountain. In the small room, Zhao Chengqian sat slumped on the ground. He didn't shout or scream, but one could feel that he was depressed.
There was a "click" sound and no one reacted. It was not until someone shouted that everyone came to their senses.
Uncle Ruan clapped his hands and said excitedly, "That's the feeling. Even though the lines weren't right, it's not bad this way. It can be considered improvisation."
"This is the grace and dignity that a prince should have!"
The screenwriter next to him was overjoyed. "This feels so right! This is the hero I want. This is how a hero should be. Quiet and quiet, different from others since childhood. Only with this kind of will can he persevere and seek revenge later!"
"The young actor is pretty good, his eyes are quite expressive, and the key is that he can handle the role and find the feeling, which is very rare."
"We almost missed this scene, luckily Director Ruan insisted!"
While everyone was talking, Zhao Chengqian was still sitting on the ground dejectedly, his face a little gloomy. He seemed a little out of tune with this world, as if he was the only one who didn't belong here.
A small hand rested on his shoulder, "Brother Xiaogan, are you okay?"
Ruanruan squatted in front of Zhao Chengqian and looked up at him.
Zhao Chengqian raised his eyes slightly and looked at her, his eyes were filled with tears and his expression was a little confused. Two lines of tears hung under his eyes, his nose and face were rubbed red, and he looked like a wronged stray puppy.
Ruanruan paused, as if she saw something special, her eyes filled with stars, "Little brother, be good... We're over, don't cry."
She took out a tissue from her small pocket and gently wiped the tears from Zhao Chengqian's face.
Then she took out a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it into Zhao Chengqian's mouth.
"Eat candy, and you'll be happy."
"Hmm." Zhao Chengqian stared at her, touched the candy on the edge of his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, and smiled.
