25 "Family Fun" filming
The days after debut are not much different from the days preparing for debut.
Within two weeks, the five members of Kaleido filmed several small homemade materials and posted them on their own account. The number of views and likes was quite good. Occasionally, when you click on it, you can see a collection of Chinese characters.
It turned out to be their Chinese fans.
Later, I learned that due to their active efforts, many new fans came one after another. Although there were not many people, under the orderly leadership of big fans, the data on various platforms could barely meet the standards of a popular group.
Next, they had several commercial performances to go on. However, before the performances, Song Qixian received a notice to join the cast of "Family Fun".
"Family Fun" is a family love comedy that tells the story of the warm family and neighborly love between the Jin family and their neighbors.
Song Qixian felt a little disappointed when he failed to get the main role of Jin Family, Jin Enyu, but he quickly cheered up and thought about his current role.
Yoon Min-woo is a quiet, academically inclined person who prefers order and order in everything he encounters. Seeing the playful, lively, and often mischievous Kim Eun-mi, such a boy's first reaction would surely be curiosity, wondering what kind of girl could cause so much trouble.
Later, after getting to know Eun-mi, he found that she was kind, serious, and possessed many good qualities, and he was attracted to this little sun-like girl.
Song Qixian's script reads:
"Yin Min-woo noticed this brash girl bravely standing in front of a classmate who was afraid of dogs, even though she herself was frightened half to death by the ferocious mad dog. A strange feeling welled up in the quiet and reserved academic."
When filming the first scene, Song Qixian was in a small library rented by the crew.
In order to highlight Yoon Min-woo's status as a top student, Song Qixian had his hair straightened one by one by the makeup artist and added a pair of black-framed plain glasses.
Fortunately, he has a small head and well-proportioned facial features, so this hairstyle did not make him look like a fool, but made him look more well-behaved.
The glasses gave Song Qixian a more student-like demeanor, and Director Kong was very pleased.
The first scene was the one where Yoon Min Woo met Kim Eun Mi for the first time.
The actress who plays Eun-mi is a former child star who has played the teenage female protagonists in many hit dramas. She had just turned 16 at the time. Song Qixian took a peek at her before filming began and saw that she was innocent and beautiful, with very fair skin.
But after the makeup artist's work, the actress's exposed skin became darker, her beautiful big eyes were covered by dog-bitten bangs, and her long hair was cut short. She looked more like the impetuous tomboy in the script.
Although the female lead, Son Eun-ya, is only 16 years old, she is Song Qixian's senior in acting. Song Qixian greeted her respectfully and received a friendly nod in response.
Song Qixian had already memorized the script by heart. With a crisp sound of the board, Song Qixian's first scene in "Family Fun" began.
Yoon Min-woo is organizing books in the library. This is something he does every day. After school in the afternoon, he comes to the small library in the school and spends half an hour organizing the books that have been messed up by some unruly students.
Every time he tidies up, Yoon Min-woo feels refreshed. What is hard work for others is a rare moment of relaxation for him.
But today was destined to be an extraordinary day. When he came yesterday, he heard the cleaning lady say that a female student like him would be assigned to volunteer today.
Thinking of this, Yin Minyou frowned. He didn't like being disturbed by others, but he also knew that he couldn't stop it.
At one minute past six, the door to the quiet little library suddenly opened. Yin Minyou, who was packing up his books, was the only one left in the library. He peeked out and saw a girl with short hair and bangs panting heavily.
She is Jin Eun-mi, the eldest daughter of the Jin family, the alley's top female bully, and a female warrior in the eyes of her classmates. Because she lost a bet, she was forced to come here to experience a week of volunteer life.
After school that afternoon, she was playing with her younger brother, Jin Enyu, on the way home, and before she knew it, she had already returned home. So she ran all the way here from home just as the agreed time of six o'clock arrived.
The classmate who won the bet did not tell her that there were other people here, so Jin Enmei didn't know that there were other people here besides her.
The empty library was too quiet and boring, and Kim Eun-mi's singing voice resounded through the sky.
"It will burn in your heart forever. You once held back your tears for me—"
Kim Eun-mi's outrageous voice made Yoon Min-woo unbearable, so he appeared behind her and restrainedly pointed at her with his finger.
Eun-mi sang the climax, but she didn't feel anything at all, and continued to sing loudly, "Those days were so hard for you↗"
With a "bang", Yoon Minwoo's palm hit the bookshelf, and Eunmi finally noticed the sound behind her.
But she thought there was no one behind her.
There are always some strange legends in schools, and the Affiliated No. 1 High School is no exception. It is said that some strange noises can always be heard from the small library in the middle of the night. Those are the students who failed to fulfill their wishes in their lifetime and are wandering here.
Eun-mi was frightened half to death by the sudden voice. She turned around trembling, muttering to herself, "Senior, please don't take me away. I am a model student and I love studying."
Thank God, the person who appeared in front of her was not the senior schoolmate with long hair and white clothes, but a male ghost wearing black-framed glasses.
No, it's not a ghost.
It’s the senior!
Eun-mi didn't notice the slight irritation on Yoon Min-woo's face. She excitedly called out, "Hello, senior!"
The handsome young man in front of her was Yin Minyou, the best senior in the third year of high school. He often spoke at campus activities as a student representative, so Eun-mi recognized him at a glance.
Being affectionately called "senior" by the junior, Yin Minyou's dissatisfaction subsided. He looked at this reckless junior helplessly and waved a hand, meaning to keep quiet here.
Eun-mi understood what he meant and answered with another clear and loud "Yes!"
After she said that, she finally reacted and quickly covered her mouth and smiled at Yoon Minwoo embarrassedly.
Yin Minyou shook his head and laughed. He could see that this schoolgirl was probably a little bit silly because of something missing.
Seeing Eunmi smiling happily, his usually calm face also showed some other expressions.
Suddenly, he laughed too, but it was when he was arranging books with his back to her.
"Card".
The first scene was over, and Director Kong asked the photographer to change the angle. Song Qixian performed very well on the spot.
This refers to the smile that Yoon Min-woo had with his back to Eun-mi. Of course, it was not written in the script, but Song Qixian laughed while acting.
Seeing the director didn't blame him, Song Qixian breathed a sigh of relief. He'd blamed him for being so immersed in the performance, letting it flow. Fortunately, Director Kong was a kind person. Song Qixian knew that many screenwriters and directors disliked actors arbitrarily changing the script. He was lucky; both directors encouraged him to put his best foot forward.
In fact, Kong Zhimin was also amazed by Song Qixian's performance.
Although Xiao Song was not as eye-catching as some young actors, he was a clean, handsome, and polite child. Therefore, Kong Zhimin had a good impression of him.
As for his acting skills, he was quite surprised by his performance during the audition, and he didn't expect that he is even better now.
His opposite actress, Sun Eun-ya, is a veteran actress with ten years of acting experience! He actually holds his own against her.
Sun Enya also felt what the director felt. As the absolute leading actress in the play, she naturally wouldn't remember every actor she played with. But after just this one collaboration, Sun Enya remembered the boy in front of her.
Naturally, his acting is not as smooth as mine, but it just fits the performance of a reserved and gentle academic who meets a free and unrestrained girl.
Most importantly, his performance was lifelike and natural, and he really got into the role.
Song Qixian was very happy. Not only was his impromptu performance recognized, but the director also reviewed the play for him.
Before filming the second scene, Song Qixian noticed that the heroine Sun Enya's smile seemed to be deeper, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
The second scene begins, still a silent library scene.
Kim Eun-mi followed Yoon Min-woo as he sorted the books. However, due to her lack of experience, she couldn't find the right place for a book. When she scratched her head and couldn't find it, Yoon Min-woo would silently point her to the right place. Occasionally, if a book was supposed to be on the top shelf, Yoon Min-woo would help her out.
In Eun-mi's eyes, Yoon Min-woo, who always works hard, is very mysterious. She has a good impression of this friendly senior. So, Eun-mi rolls her eyes and secretly draws a sketch of Yoon Min-woo in her notebook.
Yoon Minwoo was used to concentrating on one thing, so when he saw a sketch of himself that Eunmi stuffed in his face, his expression turned into surprise.
A little dull.
Looking over again, Eunmi's eyes had turned into crescent shapes and the corners of her mouth were wider.
Yoon Minwoo's heartbeat quickened, and the pupils of his eyes dilated behind his dark eye sockets.
Eun-mi flirted with her senior as if nothing had happened. Although it was just a casual drawing, it was the first time that a girl gave Yoon Min-woo something.
This underage academic master, who had been known as the child of other people's family since childhood, was inadvertently moved.
After Eun-mi left, Yoon Min-woo leaned against the bookshelf and carefully examined the sketch again. He took off his black-framed glasses, revealing a pair of gentle eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
At this time, he seemed to have returned to his original age, seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of his youth.
With a "cut", Song Qixian's role for the day ended.
He had two scenes today, and both were passed in one take. This is excellent for a new actor. The director looked at him with the same eyes as a horse breeder would look at a thousand-mile horse.
There is no director who doesn't like talented actors, and Kong Zhimin now feels better about Song Qixian.
"Good boy," he patted Song Qixian on the shoulder. "I'll look for you in all my plays from now on."
