I wasn't originally planning to participate.
However, after reading the director's script, Bai Ningyi felt that the role of the crazy male supporting character was more suitable for her.
He likes it.
Little Yuzu immediately became interested and asked curiously, "What movie is it?"
Suddenly, Xiaoyouzi remembered that Director Gong Xing had approached her brother, wanting Master Ba to act in his movie, but she had refused.
Why don't you try contacting the director?
"The movie is called Phoenix. I've read the script, and it's not bad." Bai Ningyi chuckled and pinched Xiaoyouzi's smooth cheek. "I feel like I'm almost out of the woods."
The best way to escape the identity of a lunatic is to play another lunatic.
With her lips pinched and pouting, Little Yuzu managed to say, "Don't pinch my cheeks~"
Little Youzi's chubby little face was being pinched.
Even her unclear speech is incredibly cute.
While Bai Yu was grabbing a small pomelo snack, her eyes lit up. She secretly took out her phone and snapped a lot of photos, which she then posted to her small group chat.
[Yubao Fan Club]
Prince Bai Yu: Everyone, come look at little Youzi! She's so cute! [Image]
Wild King Luo Li: Who's pinching my Youbao's cheek? What's going on?
Luo Li's focus was somewhat different; her gaze fell on the hand pinching Xiao Youzi's cheek.
Omnipotent Bai Li: He's my uncle, you know him too. (Translated by Bai Ning)
Wild King Luo Li: Ah, it's Little Yuzi's master, never mind.
Knowing that the person was Bai Ningyi, Luo Li dared not say anything, after all, he had raised Xiaoyouzi for a long time.
Dharma King Cheng Cheng: So cute, little pomelo! Brother sends you a kiss (*╯3╰)
Wild King Luo Li: Don't be so disgusting!
Xiao Ye, the God of War on the Sidelines: Hmm, cute.
Wild King Luo Li: Wait, I remember Xiao Youzi was busy, how come she's with you guys? Where are you?
Prince Bai Yu: We are currently here [location]
Wild King Luo Li: Okay, I'll be right there.
Bai Yu, the Prince: Don't come. Xiao Youzi said she's going to the West Mountain Villa.
Wild King Luo Li: I'll go too. When do we leave?
Prince Bai Yu: It'll be soon, where's my brother? Are you coming or not?
All-powerful Bai Li: I'll go as soon as I'm done.
Dharma King Cheng Cheng: Ah Ye and I have been staying at the Xishan Villa recently. Come quickly, we haven't had a barbecue in a long time.
Dharma King Cheng Cheng: Remember to buy ingredients when you come back @Side Lane God of War Xiao Ye
Xiao Ye, the God of War on the Sidelines: 1
Bai Yu was chatting enthusiastically with the people in the group, typing at lightning speed.
Pulling Bai Ningyi's hand away, Xiao Youzi slurped her saliva before smiling and saying, "Master Ba, the 'Phoenix' you're going to act in is the one directed by Gong Xing, right?"
Little Yuzi, who was initially unhappy because Master Ba pinched her cheek, suddenly beamed with joy.
If Master Ba were to star in it, that would be fantastic; he'd be a box office guarantee!
She hasn't forgotten the hundreds of millions she invested!
Bai Ningyi nodded: "Yes, you know? Why are you laughing so happily?"
"Mmm." Little Yuzu nodded emphatically.
Looking at her smile, Bai Ningyi suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, this drama was invested in by the Luo family."
"Actually..." Little Yuzu lowered her head, shyly fiddled with her fingers, then looked up and gave a big smile: "I also invested a little bit."
Bai Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Even Little Pomelo has invested?"
"Some?" Bai Ningyi raised an eyebrow. "How much?"
Little Yuzu raised her fist, flicked her fingers outward, and made a five-pointer by exploding it like a firework.
“Fifty million? That’s a bit low.” Bai Ningyi’s expression was cold: “These days, it costs a lot of money to hire a star, some are eighty or ninety million, or even one or two hundred million.”
Xiao Youzi shook her head: "Uncle Gong Xing said that hiring actors won't cost too much money. He won't hire anyone too famous. Except for you, all the money will be used for the production of the show."
Gong Xing strives to spend the largest portion of his budget on special effects, costumes, props, set design, and so on.
“That 50 million isn’t enough. Since you’re investing in the show, I’ll act in it for free and become a shareholder.” Bai Ningyi isn’t short of money; she’s only acting because the role is suitable.
Taking a stake is very risky; if the movie doesn't become a hit, he'll have given up entirely.
"Either is fine, but I didn't invest 50 million."
Little Yuzu winked mischievously: "I invested 500 million!"
She can add more if needed.
After she finished speaking, Xiaoyouzi saw the surprised expression on Bai Ningyi's face, just as she had hoped.
"Hehehe, surprised, aren't you!" Little Yuzi chuckled twice, especially enjoying watching Master Ba's expression.
Bai Ningyi chuckled and poked Xiaoyouzi's tuft of hair: "Five hundred million is quite a lot, not bad."
"Five hundred million!" Bai Yu's jaw nearly dropped to the floor in astonishment.
The atmosphere of her conversation with Xiaoyouzi was broken, and Bai Ningyi glared at Bai Yu unhappily.
Bai Yu immediately made a zipper-like face, obediently ceasing to speak.
Ignoring Bai Yu, Bai Ningyi asked directly, "Youbao, there's a role in 'Phoenix' where you play a little phoenix with several scenes. Do you want to act with me?"
"Is Master playing the male lead?" Little Yuzu asked curiously.
According to director Gong Xing, he wanted his mentor to play the male lead.
Shaking his head, Bai Ningyi said, "I'm a supporting male character, I don't play the male lead. I have scenes with Little Phoenix."
Bai Ningyi didn't say it directly, but he wanted to act alongside Xiaoyouzi.
"Okay!" Little Yuzu agreed without hesitation.
She then tilted her head and hugged Bai Ningyi: "Master, have you really come out of this? I'll act with you, I can't wait!"
