Chapter 65 Are you sure you don’t need a substitute?
Shen Ci said it casually, but Guang Rong's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Sister, have you really succeeded in starting your own business?"
Shen Ci raised his eyebrows noncommittally, looked at the gift in his hand and raised his chin: “It is indeed a little powerful.”
Guangrong was about to cry. It was as if a ray of light was pouring down on his bleak future at this moment, making his cousin in front of him look particularly bright and majestic.
He swallowed and said, "Then... then I take it seriously?"
Shen Ci smiled and nodded, then turned to look at her cousin and asked, "What about you, Sui Sui, do you really like the flight attendant profession?"
He Sui sighed and curled her lips, "I can't say I like him, but I can't say I hate him either. I'm just picking the tallest one among the short ones. I can't be a kindergarten teacher. I can take care of giant babies, but if a child makes a fuss, I can really kill people."
"I'm not good at medical treatment either. I'm afraid of injections myself."
"Flight attendant aside, my height will be an advantage during future interviews, so I shouldn't have any trouble finding a job."
At this point, she sighed, looked at Chen Ci and said, "Sister, you don't have to worry about me now. I have to finish college anyway. Maybe one day our school will be upgraded to a bachelor's degree, and I might become an undergraduate."
Sui Sui is the type of person who is content with the status quo. She is not depressed by the present nor worried about the future.
This might be the reason why she lived a smooth life in her previous life.
Three days after joining the crew, Chen Li gradually adapted to the rhythm of the crew.
She was the fourth female role and didn't have many scenes, but she was favored by the director and screenwriter because of her talent.
The original author, Teacher Chu He, even added several scenes for Chen Li on the spot to make the character appear fuller and more three-dimensional. She is confident that the character "Hua Xixi" she created will definitely become a hit.
"Cut! We've got this shot. Everyone, take a ten-minute break. We'll then transition to the pond set and film the scene where Hua Xixi falls into the water."
This is how the crew shoots a movie. They don’t shoot scene by scene according to the plot, but according to the actual situation on the scene.
The first scene that Chen Li filmed on her first day on the crew was the scene where she fell into the water, and this scene of falling into the water was only filmed today.
As soon as the director gave the order, the assistants waiting outside rushed forward, and the parasols opened one after another like colorful flowers competing for beauty.
Xiaoyun came to Chen Li with an umbrella in one hand and a handheld fan in the other: "Are you hot, A Li? Cool down quickly!"
Ah Li reached out to take the small fan. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, a straw was already inserted into her mouth. Xiao Yun followed up with, "Drink a few more sips. It's electrolyte water, which can replenish your energy."
After taking a few big gulps, I felt much better indeed. However, since the break was only ten minutes and I had no time to go back to the dressing room to rest, I could only wait in the shade at the edge of the set.
Fortunately, Xiaoyun brought a folding chair.
At this moment, Ali finally understood that having an assistant and not having an assistant were really two different experiences.
"Xiao Yun, stop busying yourself and take a rest." Ali was still a little uncomfortable and looked at Xiao Yun a little embarrassedly.
Xiaoyun shook her head carelessly: "I was resting while you were filming. Don't worry about me. I'm not tired at all."
On the other hand, Kate Tsui’s makeup was ruined by the heat, and she had to wait in line under the sun for the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, because she had a lot of scenes in that scene later.
"Shanshan!"
At this time, a call was heard. The voice was so familiar that Xu Zishan thought it was because the weather was too hot and she had heatstroke and was hallucinating.
I looked up subconsciously and found that it was really my father.
"dad!"
Xu Zishan's face lit up with joy, but the next second the grievances that she had suppressed for a long time on the crew surged up uncontrollably, and she cried and threw herself into her father's arms.
Father Xu has only this one precious daughter, who has been the apple of his eye since she was a child. In his eyes, his daughter's tears are like pearls and diamonds.
Xu Zishan's crying almost broke her father's heart.
He spoke cautiously with a distressed look on his face: "Hey, baby, what's wrong? Is the photo shoot not going well?"
Xu Zishan raised her face and cried, "All day long I'm either serving tea or pouring water, kneeling or kowtowing. How can I be content?"
Father Xu was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that the role his daughter wanted was a maid. At that time, he felt reluctant to let her go, but his daughter said that this role had a lot of room for development and she wanted it very much, so he helped his daughter "buy" this role.
Isn’t it normal for maids to serve tea and kneel down to kowtow?
She hesitated in her heart, but Father Xu obviously wouldn't question his daughter like that. He just said distressedly, "Then...then let's not shoot anymore?"
"That won't do. I signed the contract. If I don't shoot it, I will be in breach of contract." Xu Zishan shook her head when she heard it, obviously she was still clear-headed.
But Xu's father felt sorry for his daughter. Seeing her so aggrieved after only three days on the set, he immediately said, "It's a breach of contract, so it's a breach of contract. It's not like Dad can't afford the liquidated damages."
"No, I'm a newcomer. How can a newcomer breach the contract in his first film? Who would dare to use me if the news gets out?" Xu Zishan calmed down and wiped away her tears.
Although she is a spoiled girl, being a star is indeed her dream.
She knew that being an actor was hard, and she was actually mentally prepared. The reason why she felt so aggrieved was largely because of Chen Li. Most of the people she served tea and water to and knelt down to were directed at Chen Li. This was what made her most unwilling and aggrieved.
If the second young lady were to replace a popular actress, she would absolutely be happy with it and would not feel wronged at all.
In a blink of an eye, seeing Chen Li with an assistant holding an umbrella and a folding chair for her to sit on, Xu Zishan felt like her lungs were about to explode.
"Dad, you didn't even bother to arrange an assistant for me. I have to get water myself when I'm thirsty." Xu Zishan became furious and started to act coquettishly towards her father again.
Father Xu smiled and said generously, "It's easy to get an assistant. Are ten enough?"
"Dad!" Xu Zishan felt a headache coming on, stamping her feet and saying, "Look who has ten assistants? Xu Junhuan only has four!"
"Then tell me how many you want, and I'll arrange them for you." Father Xu still coaxed his daughter without any temper.
"One will do."
Xu Zishan muttered, then felt that she had lost, and said, "Two!"
"Okay, two. I'll arrange it for you in a moment."
"Prepare for the transition, all actors, hurry up and get into position!"
The stage control teacher called out, and Xu Zishan quickly said, "Dad, I'm about to start filming, you go back."
"Dad just got here and wants to see you act."
Xu Zishan didn't bother to say anything more, she just said, "Then don't make any noise, there are radios on the scene, and any sound can be picked up."
On the other side, the assistant director came to Chen Li and asked in a low voice: "Ah Li, are you sure you don't need a stand-in?"
Chen Li shook her head when she heard this: "It's okay, Director. I'm from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. I've been able to swim since I was a child. Don't worry."
The assistant director nodded appreciatively and turned to the other actors, saying, "Ali will be doing this drowning scene herself. Everyone, try to get it right in one take."
Xu Zishan let out a barely perceptible sneer when she heard this.
Pass it in one go?
You wish!
