Sheng Ming read very quickly. Director Fang saw him quickly flip through the script in front of him. It took only a little over a minute. He pushed the script back and commented with some disdain, "The little emperor is so stupid."
Director Fang: “…”
The character of the Little Emperor is that of a five or six-year-old child. It is remarkable that he can grow up to this point under such environmental pressure. How can he be stupid?
Director Fang was furious when his beloved character was insulted, but when he looked at the little guy in front of him who was not even as big as the emperor, his anger disappeared instantly and he laughed out loud.
He asked patiently, "You know all these words? Did you finish reading them so quickly?"
Sheng Ming stared at Director Fang for a long time, until Director Fang thought the little guy had seen through his intentions. Feeling guilty, he suddenly spoke up, "Are you trying to trick me into becoming your little emperor?"
Director Fang: “…”
Well, either he thought so, or he was seen through.
Now that he was seen through, Director Fang didn't try to hide it anymore and said directly, "That's right."
"My life, you've seen me these past few days. I've auditioned almost twenty young actors, but not a single one is suitable."
Age and appearance are actually secondary. The biggest problem is the lines.
Children are young and unstable, so it is not impossible to ask them to memorize their lines, but you have to give them time.
Director Fang thought for a moment and used Xu Zixuan as an example, "You're familiar with Zixuan, so you should have seen his script, right?"
Sheng Ming had indeed seen it and nodded.
"Zixuan was one of the first actors I selected, and he was also one of the first to get his lines."
"He started preparing more than four months ago, memorizing his lines over and over again, and reading the script over and over again. By the time he actually joined the crew, the script was so worn out that his mother said it was his third copy. He had thrown away the previous two because they were so worn out that he couldn't bear to read them."
"Although the little emperor is not the protagonist, he is one of the core characters of the whole play and has a lot of lines."
"Even someone as smart as Zixuan needs so much time and effort to memorize all the lines fluently. Now that there's a last-minute role change, asking those kids to memorize their lines in such a short time, to be honest, even I think it's too difficult for them."
Director Fang sighed and felt that his temples, which had been hurting severely for the past two days, were hurting again.
But when he saw the little guy in front of him, he perked up and asked again: "So how many lines did you memorize?"
Sheng Ming tilted his head and thought for a moment, then told the truth: "I've written it all down."
Director Fang's eyes lit up like a billion-watt light bulb. He asked tentatively, "What's the line for scene 17?"
Sheng Ming: "What a bullshit emperor, what a bullshit throne, whoever wants it can have it, I don't want it! Xiao, if you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, as long as I'm alive, don't even think about bullying my sister!"
"...Why did you bully my sister? My sister is so nice. She didn't get angry with you even though you bullied her. She even kept the broken jade pendant you gave her. Why did you bully her..."
Director Fang stood up suddenly, picked up Sheng Ming without saying a word, and ran towards Xie Xihe's dressing room like a gust of wind.
Producer Xu was also surprised, but he calmed down and looked at the parents and children waiting not far away. He said, "Okay, today's auditions are over here. The staff will notify you of the results later. Everyone, please go home."
That's what they said, but the parents who saw what happened just now basically knew what was going on. They sighed in their hearts and left with their children.
Things went a little more smoothly than Director Fang had imagined.
Xie Xihe just said: "Talk to him yourself."
So Director Fang pulled Sheng Ming into a corner and tried to persuade him with both emotion and reason, until he finally brought up Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe and persuaded him to agree.
The biggest problem was solved, and Director Fang was in high spirits.
It took three days to shoot the Kyoto scenes. After adding some more shots, the crew took a two-day holiday. Two days later, they moved to the Hengcheng Film and Television Base.
The last day of the show ended, and Sheng Shijing walked out with Xie Xihe. As they walked, he tilted his head to look at Xie Xihe and said, "So, is that the end of Lu Qingqing?"
Xie Xihe glanced back at him, and seeing the frost in his eyes gradually dissipating, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "You almost scared her to death, so if you don't let it go, are you going to kill her?"
Sheng Shijing: "He deserved to die."
Xie Xihe glanced at him, and seeing that he wasn't joking, she straightened her expression and said, "Her hands and feet are quite clean. I asked Falcon to investigate, and the existing evidence can't pin the blame on her."
"But if you want to use improper means for her," Xie Xihe curled his lips into a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "she is not qualified yet."
"It's fine like this now." Xie Xihe said lightly.
Sheng Shijing pursed his lips tightly and said nothing more. However, when Xie Xihe wasn't paying attention, he whispered a few words to Qingyang.
Xie Xihe didn't pay much attention to the Internet, so he didn't know that in the following period of time, all kinds of negative information about Lu Qingqing continued to become a hot topic.
These were all minor matters that did not harm the foundation, but they were enough to ruin Lu Qingqing's popularity. Even some of her die-hard fans were gradually shaken by the small news every three days and a big news every seven days.
For a time, Lu Qingqing's reputation on the Internet plummeted to the bottom, even worse than Xie Xihe's at the beginning.
Especially after "Qingcheng Fu" is officially broadcast.
As the female lead, Lu Qingqing was not only overshadowed by the second female lead, Xie Xihe, but even her acting skills, which had always been highly praised, were so poor that they were unbearable to watch.
Qingcheng Fu was a huge hit.
Whether it is the male lead Jiang Wei, the second male lead Yan Shaozhi, the second female lead Xie Xihe, or the third male lead Sheng Shijing, their popularity has soared and they are the talk of the town.
Only the heroine, who should have been the most anticipated, gradually disappeared from the audience's sight, and finally disappeared completely.
It was not until this time that someone revealed the drowning incident at the beginning of the filming of Qingcheng Fu, and pointed all the clues to Lu Qingqing.
The audience suddenly realized that Lu Qingqing had brought her own death upon herself?
These are things that happened later.
Considering that Xie Xihe was going to start school in September, the crew deliberately put her scenes in the front when they were rehearsing.
Just before school started, on August 19th, Xie Xihe finally finished filming the play "Qingcheng Fu".
Then there was the celebration banquet.
Originally, Xie Xihe refused, but it happened that Sheng Ming’s results for the Peking University Junior Class exam came out a day earlier.
As Xie Xihe expected, he passed the exam, and not only that, he passed it with the first place.
There is another craze among colleges and universities on the Internet.
The crew naturally heard about this and were determined to celebrate for them.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Xie Xihe accepted it.
