Chapter 123 They are all liars
"Little Peach Blossom, don't ask him. He's a liar. What could he possibly know?" Li Zhen glared at Liu Daguang with displeasure. He'd taken a piece of his sister's candy; what a thick skin!
"What do you mean by 'liar'? I already said I'm not a liar, I'm telling the truth!"
"When will I become a big star?" Li Bo asked.
Liu Daguang: ...
He waved his hand weakly: "Fine, I guess I'm just unlucky to have run into a bunch of brats like you. You want to be a big star, huh?"
Xiao Taohua and Li Bo both nodded emphatically.
Li Bo genuinely considered this his ideal, while Xiao Taohua was merely a matter of curiosity.
"To become a big star, first of all, you need to have film crews that want to make movies for you."
"What is a film crew?" the two asked in unison.
"Do you want me to talk or you to ask questions?"
"I'll listen to you."
"Yes. You need a film crew to organize actors to make a movie, and then you need a script, investors, a director, and a whole crew. Of course, the most important thing in making a movie is the equipment. Without the film equipment, no matter how many people you have, it's useless!"
"A machine? What's that?"
"Um?"
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore," Li Bo quickly waved his hand.
"You won't see the equipment unless you're actually on a film set. Those machines are money-burning; every time they're used, the money just disappears. So, to really make a movie, you need a lot of money, a lot of money! In our country, if you want to make movies, unless you enlist in the military, and specifically in the arts, you probably can forget about it for the rest of your life. Of course, I'm just saying, maybe things will change in the future, but for now, you should just focus on reading the script, hone your basic skills, and you can step in whenever you have the chance."
Is it really that hard to be a celebrity?
"Otherwise what?"
"It's okay, I'm still young, I can go in a few years!" Li Bo was good at comforting himself: "I'll practice my lines now, and once I'm familiar with them, I'll be ready to go anytime, just like you said!" He nodded to himself, ready to do just that!
"Oh, whatever makes you happy." Liu Daguang wasn't interested.
Little Peach Blossom also lost interest.
Hearing Liu Daguang say that, she felt it was really difficult, and she returned to Li Zhen's side somewhat dejectedly.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhen picked up his younger sister.
"Brother, being a star is so hard."
"It's alright, if our little peach blossom really wants to do it, it will be very simple."
"real?"
"real!"
"Yes, I think so too!" The previous dejection seemed to have completely disappeared from Xiao Taohua's face, and she immediately became cheerful again.
Liu Daguang curled his lip: "Alright, you all know what you need to know, so you can leave now."
"No, I still need to practice my lines with you!" Li Bo refused decisively.
“Yes, yes, I want to practice my lines with you too.” Little Peach Blossom nodded in agreement.
Liu Daguang's eyes darted around: "Sure, if you practice your lines with me, you'll take care of all three of my meals every day!" He used to have no problem with three meals a day, but now even one meal a day is a luxury for him. Moreover, Liu Daguang also knows that many people here only eat two meals a day.
Li Bo agreed without hesitation: "That's easy, I'll bring you steamed buns every day."
Liu Daguang turned to Xiao Taohua, oh no, he turned to Li Zhen, because he felt that Li Zhen was still in charge.
Little Peach Blossom tugged at her brother's clothes.
Li Zhen sighed. Fine, he compromised, deciding to find something fun to cheer up his sister: "I'll bring you some side dishes."
"Okay, deal!" Liu Daguang stood up abruptly and immediately looked at the group with a grin: "You're all good kids. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach you everything!"
Li Zhen rolled his eyes, while Li Bo and Xiao Taohua laughed happily.
From today onwards, Li Bo and Xiao Taohua would come here every day to check in, practice their lines, and bring food to Liu Daguang. Of course, there was also Li Zhen, who came to look after his sister.
As time went by, the group gradually became familiar with each other. Li Zhen was no longer wary of Liu Daguang, and Liu Daguang was no longer wary of the children. They all got along quite well.
One day, the four of them gathered together again. Liu Daguang looked at them and said inscrutably, "You have achieved some success in your studies. Very good, applause!"
Xiao Taohua and Li Bo immediately clapped enthusiastically, while Li Zhen clapped listlessly, only giving a few perfunctory claps.
"Alright, from now on, you'll practice whenever you have free time and you'll definitely master this skill, reciting your lines perfectly to match the characters and plot! And as for camera presence, just find something at home to use as a camera lens, but never leave it more than two meters away. As for the specifics, you need to be able to sense it yourself. Learning is about flexible application. What I'm teaching you is just static knowledge; what truly belongs to you is what you learn and apply. Understand?"
"knew!"
"Very good, very good. You are the best students I have ever taught, and I believe you will be my pride in the future!"
Li Bo and Xiao Taohua nodded excitedly, "Proud!"
"Yes, yes, that's good. You should approach everything with this passion in the future. Life is like a play, and a play is like life. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will definitely introduce you to the film crew as soon as possible, so that you can truly experience what it's like to live a life on screen, and experience a completely different kind of life!"
"Now, I must say goodbye to you all. I am about to embark on a new journey, but please rest assured, I will return!"
The two who were about to respond excitedly, plus the numb one: ...
"Are you leaving?" Li Zhen asked.
"Yes, my friends are arriving soon. We won't see each other for the next few years, but don't worry, we will definitely meet again in the future!"
"Heh." Li Zhen had no hope. This person left and wouldn't come back? He was overthinking it. It was obvious he wouldn't return.
"Are you really leaving?" Li Bo was still a little reluctant to part with him.
“Yes, my friend, I am about to embark on a long journey. Aren’t you going to wish me well?” Liu Daguang placed one hand on Li Bo’s shoulder and looked directly at him.
"I wish you the best."
"Good brother!"
"Will you really come back in the future?" Little Peach Blossom asked, tilting her head.
"Yes, I definitely will!" Even if you don't know, say you will!
Little Peach Blossom nodded and said nothing more, but took out a rubber band from her pocket: "Here, take this. Your hair is getting long, you can tie it up."
Is this a parting gift?
"Yes, a gift."
"Then I'll accept it." Liu Daguang said, solemnly putting the rubber band on his hand. The rubber band with red yarn tied around his dirty arm actually looked quite nice.
Liu Daguang smiled as he looked at the scene: "You guys go back first, there's no need to see me off. Parting is the saddest thing, I want to leave quietly."
"Who wants to give you this, Little Peach Blossom? Let's go." After saying that, Li Zhen picked up Little Peach Blossom and left. Although Li Bo was reluctant to leave, he followed along happily.
This, leaving now?
Liu Daguang was dumbfounded.
Where's the promised sadness and reluctance to part?
They're all scammers!
