Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Baby Show
Xia Ji was still being scolded while sitting in the car. Xu Suxin had never been nice to him and would vent her anger on him.
"If you dare to run around without waiting for me again, I'll break your legs! What use is there to you, a disobedient child? I just went back to ask around, and they said you weren't selected! Tell me, what can you do? You're useless! You even got an interview that I worked so hard to get, and you were rejected!"
Lost? No way? According to the book, he should have been chosen.
Xia Tian thought, his ears were annoyed by Xu Suxin's repeated noises, "Do you know who just threw something?"
"Who is it that has nothing to do with me? Did you hear what I just said?"
"It's Ding Xue." Xia Tian said coldly, although the coldness was hard to hear because of the soft voice of the child.
"Ding, Ding Xue?" Xu Suxin took two seconds to react and turned to look at Xia Ji. "Was that Ding Xue, the director of 'Dear Little Friend'?"
Xia Ji nodded, and at this moment, Xu Suxin's cell phone rang. It was the program team calling to notify her of her selection.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Suxin excitedly waved her fists twice, then called Xia Hai and said they were going out for dinner in the evening to celebrate.
During the meal, the three of them walked in front, and Xia Ji walked alone behind. Anyway, no one would say that this was a family of four, because their looks were so different from Xia Ji's.
Si Cheng returned home and made a phone call, and the new file was sent over during dinner.
He was looking for his father's secretary and asked him to investigate the recent movements of the Xia family and compile a document and send it to him.
The documents show that there has been nothing unusual with this family recently and there are no problems with their daily schedules. However, the investigation also described Xia Tian as being introverted and timid. What caused his sudden change?
Could it be that summer has also been reborn?
Si Cheng sat in the study, looking at the summer photos on the computer. The little boy in the photo had timidity and shyness in his eyes, which was obviously different from the boy he saw today.
The door of the study was pushed open, and Si Guanqing walked in. He asked with a smile, "What did you ask Fang Jie to investigate? It's so mysterious."
Si Cheng closed his email, stood up and said, "Nothing."
"I heard that you rejected your aunt's suggestion?" Si Guanqing unbuttoned his suit and sat down on the sofa.
"When did you start caring about these things?" Si Cheng had always had a cold relationship with his father and they rarely communicated. Otherwise, in his previous life, he would not have realized how much pressure Si Guanqing was under until he jumped off the building.
Si Guanqing was laughed at by him, "You are my son, isn't it normal for me to care about you?"
"Really?" Si Cheng asked back, "I thought it was abnormal."
The door was slammed shut. Si Guanqing looked at the direction where Si Cheng left and shook his head helplessly. It was all his fault that he was too busy with work and neglected the father-son relationship. His son ignored him.
Si Cheng stood at the study door for a while before returning to his room, picking up his phone and calling Ding Xue to tell her that he had decided to participate in her show.
Ding Xue was of course very happy and asked him why he suddenly changed his decision.
Why? Of course it was because the summer in this life caught his attention. He was ready to observe summer closely to confirm his thoughts.
Si Cheng didn't answer her and hung up.
Nowadays, various variety shows about taking care of children are very popular, but "Dear Little Friends" is not obvious among them, because it is just a program participated by ordinary children. There are no famous stars to accompany it, and it has not bought hot searches for hype. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unknown.
Fortunately, the program received good ratings and had a good reputation, so it still attracted some viewers.
Xia Tian is participating in the second season. The staff has informed Xu Suxin of the specific shooting time and asked them to be prepared.
This is Xia Tian’s first time filming a variety show. In order to help Xia Tian adapt, Xu Suxin specially found some footage from the first season for Xia Tian to watch so that he could perform well on the show.
The program flow of "Dear Children" is very simple. Each episode has a theme, and the children go to different places and experience different lives. There are a total of eight children, who are led and cared for by two life teachers.
The life teachers arranged in the first season were both less famous small stars, one male and one female, both young people in their early twenties, and they were given a lot of trouble.
The second season also continued the original intention of the program and still did not waste money on inviting big-name stars.
In the original book, Xia Ji's situation after participating in the show was not much better than before he participated, and his performance in the show was not pleasing.
It wasn't until she got connected with the Si family, officially signed a contract with an economic company, had a professional agent to guide her, and appeared on another popular children's variety show that she became famous.
But Xu Suxin obviously doesn't think so. Ever since Xia Ji was selected by the program team, she has been dreaming of getting rich overnight, and her family's attitude towards Xia Ji has also improved a lot.
Even the fat little brother who always bullied Xia Ji has become much more well-behaved.
On the way to send Xia Ji to participate in the program, Xu Suxin kept telling him to listen to the staff, be good, etc. She also bought a lot of snacks for Xia Ji on the way - this was quite what Xia Ji liked.
The first episode was filmed at a cartoon-themed resort in the suburbs of J City, with staff at the door to greet and guide us.
Xu Suxin handed Xia Ji over to Li Xiaoxiao, the life assistant arranged by the program crew, and gave him a few more instructions. She told him that she would pick him up after the filming, and then she walked away in a cool manner.
"Goodbye, Mom!" Xia Ji waved his little hand reluctantly and watched Xu Suxin drive away.
Li Xiaoxiao pulled the suitcase, held Xia Ji's hand, and said gently, "Okay, baby, we should go in. There are other children waiting for us inside."
"Yeah." Xia Ji squeezed out two tears and lowered his head to wipe them.
Anyway, you have to pretend. A normal child will cry when seeing his mother leave, right?
The child is so obedient. He is not at all like other children who make a fuss when separated from their parents. Even his crying is well-behaved. In comparison, his mother is too indifferent.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for several years and seen too much shady dealings, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little soft in her heart and said, "Don't be afraid, sister will take care of you."
"Thank you, sister. This is a gift from me to you." Xia Ji improvised and handed the bag of snacks in his hand to Li Xiaoxiao.
He knew that this was the person who would truly take care of him for the next two days.
The life teacher is only responsible for supervision and guidance in front of the camera, and behind the camera, it is Li Xiaoxiao who takes care of him.
"Wow, what a surprise! I didn't expect you to prepare a gift!" Li Xiaoxiao was really surprised. When she saw her colleague being tortured by a naughty child, she was worried that she would bring home a little devil, but she didn't expect him to be so obedient and polite.
"Well, because my sister is so beautiful." Xia Ji spoke in a baby voice, and the ending tone was a little trembling, making it sound even softer.
Li Xiaoxiao's heart was a little melted by the cuteness. She pinched her throat and softened it several degrees, saying, "Thank you, little darling Ji Ji."
The filming will officially start tomorrow morning, and a pilot film will be shot in the afternoon to allow the children to get to know each other.
Cameras had been set up in various places in the villa. Six children had arrived, three boys and three girls. The youngest was only five years old and was playing in the sandbox in the yard.
They are all very cute. Among them, there is a little boy who is mixed-race. His yellow curly hair is particularly noticeable and he has a willful personality.
As Xia Ji and Li Xiaoxiao walked into the yard, the mixed-race boy suddenly pushed another boy who was younger than him. The boy who was pushed was not someone to be trifled with. He directly took the toy shovel in his hand and shoveled sand into the mixed-race boy's face.
Maybe the sand got in his eyes, and the mixed-blood boy immediately started crying loudly. The female life teacher next to him hurried over to try to stop him.
The other staff members were standing behind the cameraman, including the life assistants of the four children. When they saw Li Xiaoxiao leading Xia Ji in, they all greeted her warmly in a low voice.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, is this the child?"
"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao said. Logically speaking, she was just a life assistant and her status in the program crew should be very low, but Li Xiaoxiao had been in the circle for quite a long time and had a certain network of contacts. More importantly, her brother was also a director.
"Looks so cute."
The child was seen holding Li Xiaoxiao's hand and standing beside her legs. His big eyes were a little red and he looked very polite.
Hearing someone praising him, Xia Ji also called out sweetly, "Hello, sister."
With its cute appearance, sensible personality, and sweet voice, it is the perfect tool for adults!
"Wow, you even know to say hello actively. Hello, baby!" Wang Yan bent down and touched his little head.
Seeing two scratches on the back of her hand, Li Xiaoxiao asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"Oh." Wang Yan sighed, "He was caught by Siya." Siya is the blond-haired mixed-race boy, "He is simply a little devil." Wang Yan added.
Li Xiaoxiao was glad that she didn't have to take care of the naughty child and comforted him, "Hold on, it'll only be two or three days."
Wang Yan lamented, "It's not just two days, there are still several issues!"
After a while, the assistant director called the life teacher and asked her to take Xia Ji to introduce herself to the other children, which would be considered as officially joining.
Xia Ji glanced around, but didn't see Ding Xue or Si Cheng.
The female teacher is a young idol who participated in a girl group audition program two years ago. She is not tall, has a round face, and has two curly ponytails on her hair. She looks very friendly and cute.
"Hello, teacher!" The little kid in summer looked at the female teacher with innocent eyes, looking particularly naive and cute.
"Hello, you are Xia Ji. I am Teacher Xiaocheng. Come with me." The female teacher said with a smile. Who doesn't like a polite and well-behaved child?
Chen Cheng walked into the camera holding Xia Ji's hand, brought them to the sandpit, and shouted, "Hey babies, we have a new friend! Everyone, give a round of applause to welcome him!"
Only three children clapped, while the other two boys and a girl just looked up and continued to shovel sand with their toys.
Chen Cheng immediately shouted sternly, "Si Ya, Zi Weng, Tong Tong! Put down your toys and welcome our new friend!"
The three children then put down their toys and clapped their hands casually.
This is a real naughty kid, Xia Tianxin thought.
"That's right! Okay, Xia Ji, introduce yourself to them." Chen Cheng looked down at Xia Ji.
Xia Tian smiled sweetly, revealing a pair of dimples: "Hello everyone, I am Xia Tian, Xia of summer, Ji of season~"
