Chapter 61 The First Scene
Shen Jingjing shook her head slightly when she heard this and sighed, "That's not what Mom is worried about. What boy doesn't play games? Stars are enough to make me worry less. I never liked these things before."
"Mom is worried that he might actually want to be a professional player in the future. Do you think that's a safe thing to do?"
"Look, you're studying astronomy, and Ali's studying acting. They'll both have real knowledge and skills in the future. But how can the same be said for playing games? It would be fine if he wasn't good at studying, but you see, he has such good grades, and in the end he turns to playing games. What a pity!"
Shen Ci naturally understood her mother.
To be honest, when she recalled everything her brother had gone through, she didn't want him to choose the path of e-sports again from the bottom of her heart.
But if this is what her brother truly likes and loves, she will still do her best to help him. She is willing to help her brother realize those opportunities he once wanted but never got, and those stages he wanted to be on but never stood on.
At least this time, she didn't want her brother's life to be filled with regrets.
But the prerequisite for all this is that he must be admitted to university.
"Mom, don't think of e-sports as something so bad. E-sports has been included in the Olympics, and some universities have opened e-sports majors. Professional e-sports is now a job, and it's not an easy job. Not everyone who can play games can do it." Chen Ci patiently explained to her mother, trying to dispel her prejudice against the e-sports industry.
Professional e-sports is an industry where survival of the fittest is the most intense. Only a few people can successfully step onto the world stage, and every one of them deserves admiration.
Shen Jingjing looked at her daughter and asked hesitantly, "You mean, you support Xingxing to become a professional player?"
"I'm a passive support," Chen Ci explained. "What I mean is that Xingxing's choice is the most important to me. If he likes and insists on playing professionally, then I support him. But I won't actively support him to choose this path."
Shen Jingjing curled her lips helplessly and sighed, "Mom is old and may not really understand this. Mom just hopes that the three of you can safely get into college and have stable jobs in the future, and I will be satisfied."
"I don't object to Xingxing playing games, but if he wants to become a professional player in the future, I don't agree with him either."
Shen Jingjing expressed her opinion, and she obviously felt that the path of professional e-sports was not stable and reliable enough.
It's normal for a mother to have such thoughts. Shen Ci nodded gently: "I know, Mom, but it's too early for us to talk about this now. I asked Xingxing yesterday, and he himself said that the most important thing now is the college entrance examination, and he wants to apply for a computer major, which means that his mind is not on professional e-sports yet."
"Let's not think too far ahead for him. Let's wait and see after his college entrance exam results come out."
Shen Jingjing nodded when she heard this. With her eldest daughter by her side, she always felt at ease.
Today is also the start day of filming of "The Phoenix".
At the Shudian Film and Television Base, the opening ceremony had just ended and the scene was very busy.
"One final adjustment of the lighting, sound, and camera positions, and we'll be shooting our first scene in half an hour!"
"Team B was quicker in setting up the set for the second take, so they immediately moved on to the second after finishing the first take."
"The scene will be cleared in ten minutes. All departments, hurry and take your positions!"
Because it is a large-scale production, there are nearly a hundred staff members on site alone. When these people are busy, it seems disorganized, but in fact there is order in the chaos because they are all a very professional team.
It was the end of September and the weather was hot. The extras were looking for a cool place to gather together while waiting for their turn. Only the main cast and supporting actors had their own dressing rooms.
Makeup and Hair Room No. 9 is a collective lounge for key female supporting roles, and Kate Tsui is one of them.
She is now certain that Chen Li is one of the main characters, because at the opening ceremony just now, Chen Li appeared on the stage with the main creative team.
And she could only watch from afar.
As expected, Shen Li did not appear in the same rest area with her, but she was still not sure who Shen Li was playing.
In dressing room No. 3, Ren Jia was gluing a wig on, while holding her phone to check the hot searches for the crew's materials for the day.
“Why didn’t the official Weibo post my materials?”
Ren Jia grumbled in dissatisfaction and turned to look at her assistant Xiaoya: "What's going on with the publicity? The male and female lead's Reuters materials are all trending, but where's my material?"
Xiaoya quickly said, "Sister Jiajia, don't be anxious. The opening ceremony just ended, and Heo Junhwan and Song Yuner are now the top trending searches again. The internet is saturated with attention. We should selectively avoid posting them now. It would be better to wait until their attention dies down before posting."
Ren Jia nodded in response, "You're right, we can't be impatient. Then tell the publicity team to send out materials and stills of Bai Yu and me next."
"Okay, the publicity and promotion team belongs to our company, so they will definitely give you priority."
Ren Jia enjoyed listening to this and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
The dressing room No. 4 next door is Chen Li’s dressing room.
Shen Li herself was also surprised that she actually had a separate dressing room.
Although she was female number four, she was a newcomer after all. According to the rules of the industry, the highest configuration she should have was a double or triple dressing room.
And the teacher who put on makeup for her today was Wen Xuan again.
But this time it was not a coincidence. Wen Xuan took the initiative to ask to be Chen Li's makeup artist because she was too lazy to serve those female celebrities with many problems.
She enjoyed putting makeup on the beautiful girl with good skin.
After the makeup and hair were done, the first scene for the male and female leads was being filmed. The stage manager knocked on the door and came in, announcing, "Hua Xixi, second scene preparation, go over and run through the scene with the actors first."
Chen Li stood up upon hearing this. This was her first scene, and she appeared almost without makeup.
Because she had to act out a group scene in the room after "Hua Xixi" fell into the water, and she needed to lie on the bed the whole time in this scene, so she didn't need to wear makeup, and only made her face and lips pale.
The excellent foundation coupled with such a weak and pitiful makeup directly maximizes the character's "broken feeling".
So much so that as soon as she came out of the dressing room, everyone who saw her couldn't help but take a second look at her, with undisguised amazement in their eyes.
Chu He, the original author and one of the screenwriters, immediately guessed Chen Li was Hua Xixi when she appeared, and couldn't help but sigh with laughter: "It's like Hua Xixi walked out of the book."
When they arrived at the second stage area, most of the actors were already in place. When Xu Zishan stood aside and saw Chen Li appear, the uneasiness that had been brewing in her heart for a long time finally died at this moment.
Chen Li is "Flower Xixi"!
And I played her maid!
The dialogue director quickly gathered the actors who had lines for the two scenes and began on-site direction and dispatch.
"The director yelled 'action'. Hua Xixi coughed weakly, her body trembling. Ah Yu knelt down, admitting her fault and begging for mercy. Everyone recited their lines."
"Madam Hua angrily yelled at her servants for failing to protect their master. Hua Xixi, distressed, sent a maid to plead for her. Ah Yu knelt and kowtowed for mercy. Everyone, please recite your lines."
"The old lady was furious and wanted to sell Ah Yu out. Ah Yu knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy, slapped her face, and cried, saying she was wrong. Everyone, read your lines."
After listening to this scene, Xu Zishan felt like the sky was falling and she didn’t want to act anymore!
