Chapter 37 Weird Kid 37
After lunch, Shang Changming didn't let everyone separate in the afternoon.
A dozen people gathered together to complete a few plot tasks, and a pleasant day passed.
When I woke up the next day, Director Shang announced that he would not provide meals again.
Shang Changming sat cross-legged right in front of the guests.
People who have experienced this for so many times are not at all surprised that it is not easy to eat today.
I'm used to Shangdao's routine operations.
Anyway, we will definitely not let anyone go hungry, but I don’t know what the next task will be.
Before the question was even asked, Director Shang began to answer it himself.
He said he had arranged a job for everyone to be an extra, and everyone could keep the money they earned, so that they would have enough money for food.
Yan Xia stood in front of his brother and glanced at Director Shang's smiling expression, wondering if this man had made some shady deal with the director of the crew.
It’s like…
If you use my scenery, I will promote your live broadcast and also get you some famous extras for free.
The moment he met Shang Changming's gaze, Yan Xia began to doubt his true identity.
No one had any objection to this arrangement.
Feng Jianxian even said in hindsight that he had guessed it yesterday and might have to visit the crew today.
We were using someone else's set and they were filming right next to us, so it seemed reasonable to go and take a look.
So after having a breakfast on credit, the group was taken to the filming location.
Actually, it’s near the street we were on yesterday.
When they arrived in a mighty group, Director Shang's friend on the set was speaking passionately through a loudspeaker.
I can only say that we are worthy of being friends. Even the speakers are the same.
The director of this small web drama is called Jin Jian. After finishing a scene, he happily ran over and touched shoulders with Shang Changming.
He called several guests "teachers", looking young and humble, unlike the experienced director Shang Changming who acted like an old fox.
As the eldest brother, Feng Jianxian quickly stepped forward to express his apologies for disturbing them.
The other party also said politely that it was them who should be honored.
After a long round of greetings, we finally got to the point of the task.
So, Director Jin Jian, who had been so polite just now, called other crew members.
After the staff took them to the costume and makeup venue, about ten people each received a piece of...
Beggar's outfit.
Shang Changming popped out from the corner again.
They said they were going to shoot a big scene soon, involving a lot of beggars, so everyone should act this out first, and there might be other roles to choose from in the afternoon.
Although their clothes were tattered, everyone had a lot of fun, especially the children who had never seen a film crew filming.
After you change your clothes, just stand there, you pull my strip of cloth and I grab your belt.
He doesn't look like a beggar, but more like an innocent child from a wealthy family.
The two people who looked even less like beggars were Yan Xia and Yan Ji who were sitting in a row together.
Compared with the wealthy family's attire yesterday, the two people sitting together today looked like they had fallen on hard times and couldn't even afford a decent piece of clothing.
Because some people's temperament is not diminished at all even if they wear beggar's clothes.
Yan Xia glanced at his brother, thinking that if there was a beggar beauty pageant, his brother would definitely win first place.
While he was looking at Yan Ji, others were also looking at the two of them.
Live broadcast room:
[Why does it feel a bit like a beautiful, strong and miserable person? ]
[Hahaha, the one in front, you know what, you really don’t know what, it really does look a bit like it. ]
[As expected, the saying that clothes make the man does not apply to some people. 】
After changing clothes, the makeup artist began to apply makeup on everyone's face, trying to add a little beggar's charm to those fair little faces.
This process takes a long time, especially for some chubby little kids. No matter how they adjust their face and body, they just don’t look like their parents.
In response to everyone's comments, the fat boy said righteously: "Can't I just become a beggar? I used to eat well, but now I'm a beggar. When the show airs, just label me as 'new beggar'."
Children are very knowledgeable. When they introduce people in their programs, there are subtitle labels below.
In response to this statement, the staff member who was responsible for telling the story said that it was a good suggestion and asked them not to make such a suggestion next time.
When the show officially started filming after the talk, the group discovered that the professional team members were much more dedicated than they were.
I mentioned it before as a big scene, and there were many beggars needed, so these few people certainly couldn't be considered a large number.
So when they arrived on the set, they saw another group of beggars.
Some had their legs tied, some had their arms tied, with the clothes hanging loosely on their arms and legs, making it look quite realistic.
This group of people with normal arms and legs were not grouped together and were scattered in various corners.
On either side of Yan Xia, one had a broken left arm, the other had a broken right arm, and there was another one behind with a broken leg and a blind eye.
When Jin Jian called for everyone to go first, Yan Xia found that there seemed to be something wrong with his body again. He felt a familiar feeling and didn't know where it had appeared before.
The next second, Yan Xia, who was staggering among the beggars with a small stick in his hand, felt his left arm being raised and folded behind his back to a terrifying degree.
It's probably a level of flexibility that 99 percent of normal humans in the world cannot achieve.
After the arm was folded, it was thrown down again. Because of the large number of people, Yan Xia was squeezed by others, and the arm shook twice as if it had no bones.
This scene looks like a child's arm was broken, the bones were broken or even shattered, and there is no bone left inside.
Maybe it’s because the child’s actions were too unusual.
The blind extras behind Yan Xia didn't even bother to act blind. Their pupils widened as they stared at the child in front of them as if he were looking at some new species.
Yan Xia, who felt the gaze but couldn't control his arms at all, said: "…"
Got it, be sociable~
Surrounded by disabled beggars, he had to become disabled symbolically as well.
Followed by Jin Jian shouting "Stop".
Several people gathered around Yan Xia. Tan Yi, the accompanying PD, was the fastest one. He took two or three steps forward and squeezed past the extras next to him: "Is your arm okay?"
Yan Xia shook his arm, which had healed because there were so many normal people around him, and said, "It's okay."
As he spoke, his face was tinged with a little deliberate pride: "Aren't you going to act? I acted well, didn't I?"
Tan Yi: “…………”
It was more than good. He was almost scared to death when he saw it just now.
He still couldn't figure out how one arm could stay straight and wrap around the entire back from the other side.
Is this the level of flexibility that a normal person can achieve? And the arm sways a little bit.
There was really a moment just now when he wondered if the child had really broken his arm by using too much force?
Some sharp-eyed friends also came forward and started chattering.
Live broadcast room:
[I admit that I grimaced for a moment, and it was a bit painful to watch.]
[I tried it. I'm in the hospital. Please bring three pounds of apples to see me. ]
[Does he have no bones in his shoulders? ]
[So he put his hands behind his back to make the arm swing more realistic? ]
[Not to mention that the acting is quite realistic, this is what a broken arm looks like. ]
[These days, some kids are so dedicated when they are group members, while some actors use stand-ins when they fall. I won’t tell you who they are.]
[It's so funny, there are so many examples that can be applied to this. ]
The little bit of attention that Yan Xia attracted dissipated a little as the director officially started filming.
This scene was very large, but it was actually shot quite quickly.
It may be because everyone has their arms and legs tied up, and it is not good to tie them up for too long.
So no one wants to delay the progress because of themselves.
After this scene was over, Yan Xia hadn't even changed out of his beggar costume when he received a call from a staff member, who said the director wanted to add another scene for him and asked if he was willing.
One more show means more money.
In order to prevent Director Shang from giving them another unaffordable meal, Yan Xia readily agreed.
Then I found out that in this scene, he played a little monk.
And it was only after the little bald head was dressed up that he realized another fact: he needed to show off the little monk's continuous backflips.
Yan Xia didn’t know how to explain that it was just a bug: “…………”
Now I am in a state of being caught in a dilemma.
The staff in charge of the rehearsal might have felt that there was no need to tell them in advance. In their opinion, this was a kid who even used a backflip to celebrate. Flipping on the set was as simple as eating and drinking, right?
Set.
In addition to Yan Xia who played the little monk, the other guests also played other roles, but their lines and roles were not as many as the little monk.
After everyone had finished filming, Yan Xia stepped forward with an attitude of a warrior who would never return.
In the middle, I was also pleasantly praised by Jin Jian for my quick involvement in the role.
The person involved who is getting into the role quickly: “…………”
He simply wasn't sure whether he could succeed.
Speaking of which, he remembered that Brother Fo seemed to have told him that this bug had three locations.
If you have already turned it twice, you can give it a try one last time.
If he really couldn't do it, he could only say that he sprained his arm when he was acting as a beggar and couldn't turn over.
Everything is ready, just follow the director's call for action.
After finishing the lines, the child who is about to start flipping touches the ground with both hands, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
His feet didn't move at all.
Yan Xia: “…………”
Jin Jian: “…”
Jin Jian: "Stuck."
The director came over and asked: "Is there something wrong?"
Yan Xia: “…”
The problem is that there is nothing wrong with the body now.
Yan Xia coughed lightly: "I'll think about it for a while."
Jin Jian: "Okay."
Fortunately, the result of the brewing is good.
Accompanied by the director's another call of action.
Yan Xia successfully turned around. As long as his hands touched the ground hard enough, he could still trigger the bug.
After it started spinning, Yan Xia suddenly discovered another problem......
How to stop?
This is a known bug, and a reboot is required after a pause.
The problem is that his current body is not as smooth as when he first arrived, and the restart may get stuck.
Standing straight and motionless for three to five minutes in public seemed a little difficult to explain.
Yan Xia, who was still turning around, felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have agreed.
As his thoughts flowed, Yan Xia glanced at his brother.
Yan Xia rolled his eyes and asked his brother to walk to a far corner.
Yan Ji also realized the problem and walked straight to a pillar and leaned against it.
Everything was ready. When the director shouted "Perfect, cut", Yan Xia did not stop.
Jin Jian: “???”
Jin Jian: “It’s stuck.”
He wanted to remind the child that this path is over and there is no need to turn it again.
But he had only just finished.
Jin Jian saw that this child was in front of everyone...
Walked around in circles.
???
Backflip...walk? ?
And he even flipped all the way to his father and stopped just when he got there.
Everyone: “…”
I don’t quite understand, let me take a look again.
Live broadcast room:
[Got it, show off your skills.]
【Hahaha Director: Cut. Xia Xia: No, I don’t want to cut.】
[Although Xia Xia didn't say anything, I seemed to understand from his eyes. Those little eyes were clearly asking for praise from his father.]
[Isn't this the same as falling from the tree? Let's celebrate briefly?]
[Xia Xia: Stand still here, I'll circle around to find you.]
[Who says women are fickle? Little boys are also fickle. Our Xia Xia is really a little adult at one moment and childish at another.]
The naive person was standing upright in front of his elder brother.
This was the best thing he could think of.
As long as he stood in the corner, he wouldn't attract much attention.
Yan Ji cooperated by taking out a piece of paper and wiping the sweat from the little bald head to the neck of the motionless child in front of him.
Although there was actually no sweat at all, it was very strange to stand straight and do nothing.
Especially the cameraman’s camera is still filming.
Yan Ji tilted his body slightly to block the child's upright position.
The audience, who were just discussing the mentality of a child spinning around to find his father, watched someone wipe his sweat for five minutes.
When Yan Xia was able to move, Feng Lele ran over from not far away: "Are you hot?"
Yan Xia followed up the conversation and fanned her little face: "It's hot, aren't you hot?"
The little fat boy also fanned himself: "I'm hot too."
The little fat boy no longer plays the role of a little beggar, but a chubby young man who wears too many clothes.
It was obvious that the little face needed to be wiped of sweat more than Yan Xia's.
Yan Xia simply took out some paper from his brother's leftovers and asked the fat boy to wipe it.
The two of them naturally started discussing how the lunch boxes at noon were not tasty and that they must eat more at night.
After the novelty wore off, Feng Lele said that being on the set was not fun at all and it was very tiring and stressful.
A few other friends came over from somewhere, and they didn’t seem as excited as when they first arrived.
But their work is nearing completion.
Then I put on my makeup and hair, and the final style, and the time passed quickly.
Maybe it was because I had earned enough money and felt confident that the dinner I ate tasted better than usual.
Although Yan Xia felt that he should be tired, food would certainly taste better when he was tired.
A full day has passed.
When the sun rises again, the show really comes to an end.
In addition to the different opening time, the ending time of the last episode is actually a little different. In the past, we would just record the daily waking up in the morning, pack up our luggage, and then everyone could pack up and leave.
Early this morning.
Yan Xia received the wake-up service as usual, but this time they were not asked to gather in the hall with sleepy eyes, but were directly given two sets of clothes.
The black suits, one large and one small, look very delicate, and are paired with a white shirt and a red bow tie.
Yan Xia: “Wow.”
Tan Yi: "After changing, go directly to the dressing room we used the day before yesterday."
Yan Xia made an OK gesture.
Although it wasn't the official farewell moment yet, the live broadcast room was already flooded with messages of reluctance.
After people finished putting on makeup and came out, the barrage of comments changed immediately.
[For the 108th time, I say this man is so damn handsome! ]
[I also discovered that Yan Ji is really suitable for wearing formal clothes. ]
[Our Xia Xia is pretty too. She combed her hair like an adult today. ]
Everyone in the dressing room was wearing the same suit, and the little girl was wearing a princess dress.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was different. Everyone just looked at each other, and there wasn't much reluctance.
Children may not understand what this means, but adults can say it more easily. The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. There are many passers-by in the process of growing up. When one stop of the journey ends, there is another stop waiting.
The crowd, who were dressed very formally, were taken to a relatively far place by the program crew's car.
As soon as we got off the car, there was another round of "Wow".
The green lawn was decorated like a wedding scene.
Director Shang also tidied up a little, replaced the loudspeaker with a microphone, and began to host the closing banquet.
In addition to some formal words, some small clips from the past were also played, such as when they first met.
When the microphone was finally passed to Feng Jianxian, the big brother cried emotionally, wiping his tears while speaking. It can be seen from the fact that the surprise gift he prepared for his son was a letter written with true feelings, that the big brother is very good at sensationalism.
He cried so much that his son started crying too. The fat boy raised his hand to wipe his father's tears, but found that he couldn't. He cried even louder.
I don’t know if it was the influence of my friends or if the atmosphere was just right.
The children began to cry one after another.
Yan Xia stood in the middle, and a familiar feeling came over him.
He raised his hand and touched...
Oh, no surprise, tears.
Live broadcast room:
[Xia Xia, who was secretly wiping away tears, was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. 】
[It made me want to cry, and reminded me of the time when I was a kid and parted ways with friends I had played with for many years.]
[The live broadcast is over, but you can still watch the edited version. 】
In the middle of the grass, Yan Xia's tears were the same as in the first episode, like tears that had broken off the string.
The difference is that this time a napkin appeared under my eyes.
Yan Xia looked up at his brother with tears in his eyes.
In the sea of consciousness: "I don't want to cry."
Yan Ji: “Oh.”
Yan Xia: “…………”
This conversation is damn familiar.
Nothing seems to have changed, for example...
He still hated this setting.
