Lu An patted Shen Ci's shoulder and used his eyes to tell him to be at ease.

This experience... is like being called away by your homeroom teacher after failing an exam. The homeroom teacher is almost like your mother, and you are terrified.

Shen Ci forced a smile, nervously took the script and followed Min Shoubei.

"Dad..." Shen Ci's teeth were chattering with nervousness.

Min Shoubei was just about to sit down on the monitoring seat when he saw Shen Ci looking like a frightened roe deer, and felt helpless.

I just wanted to talk to him about the emotional expression in the later scenes. Is it necessary to be so scared?

She's even harder to please than his mother. I'm sure Lu Xiao is used to it.

"Come here." Min Shoubei held his forehead and sighed, thinking in his mind how to coax him.

Shen Ci approached cautiously.

Min Shoubei stretched out his hand stiffly and touched Shen Ci's hair in an unskilled manner.

The messy hair was deliberately covered with dust to make it rough. Min Shoubei didn't dare to use too much force for fear of ruining the shape. His big hand lightly passed over the edge, which was quite funny.

Shen Ci's head felt itchy from being touched by Piao Piao. He didn't know why, but was too frightened to speak.

Brother Zhang, who was watching from a distance, was confused: "...Xiaolu, what do you think they are doing?"

Lu An was also puzzled: "Maybe it's a unique way of communication between father and son?"

Brother Zhang: "...it looks like a big dog petting a puppy, and the puppy doesn't want to be petted."

Min Shoubei touched Shen Ci for a while, thinking that Shen Ci should be appeased now, so he sat down at the monitoring position, opened the script and talked about business in a low voice: "It's almost dawn, time is tight, I'll make it short."

The atmosphere was inexplicably warm and relaxed just now, but now it suddenly became serious and tense. Shen Ci was confused and had to listen carefully.

"We talked about the emotional state of this play last night. Do you remember it?" Min Shoubei pointed at the script and pointed out the few lines that he would interpret later, with many detailed small annotations on them.

Shen Ci nodded and summarized simply: "Because of bipolar disorder, the protagonist Wen Yu's emotions were inexplicably high. After staying up all night, he went to school early and met Ah Sheng. For the first time in his life, he had a caring friend. He felt relaxed while running around with Ah Sheng, so he was temporarily free from the influence of the disease and began to vent his emotions normally."

"Yeah." Min Shoubei touched his chin and said, "Gather your emotions and act it out for me first."

Brewing emotions... Last night, Min Shoubei read the script with him, analyzing Wen Yu's inner thoughts together, and presenting all possible emotions on paper. Shen Ci closed his eyes and recalled carefully.

For true bipolar patients, the mood at this time may be very simple, that is, starting from a state of pure excitement and then falling back, and there is no reason to find.

However, the actors need to explore the character's experiences, feel his or her psychology, and strive to empathize with the character to the point of "being one with him or her", and interpret this kind of "excitement" and "fallback" naturally.

As for how to empathize, it depends on the actor's understanding and skills.

Last night, Min Shoubei was reading the script and suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Sheng is the former me, and Wen Yu is your mother." When he looked at Shen Ci with his deep eyes, they were empty and lifeless, as if he was looking at another person through Shen Ci.

Such language and eyes touched Shen Ci immediately, and inspiration came to him, and he found the "point" almost instantly.

In the early morning, his mind was still clear. Shen Ci closed his eyes and frowned, trying hard to recall how he felt last night.

Min Shoubei patiently gave appropriate pointers, and after about five minutes, Shen Ci finally found his groove.

He wanted to perform for his father, but Min Shoubei squinted his eyes and looked to the east. The morning light had already faintly broken through the night. He waved his hand and said, "It's too late. Just go ahead."

"If it doesn't work, reshoot it in a few days. Don't feel psychologically burdened." Min Shoubei patted Shen Ci on the back, pushed him gently, and urged him to touch up his makeup.

The first shot of this scene has been shot, but in order to ensure a smooth transition, the actors still need to start over from the beginning.

The two returned to the shooting position and made final adjustments to the lighting and camera to confirm the final image.

Min Shoubei held a loud speaker and said, "Attention all departments - start!"

The clapperboard clicked: "Scene 1, take 2, take 1!"

"Why are you sitting here like an idiot? Aren't you hungry?" Lu An grinned faintly, looking particularly silly.

Shen Ci sat outside the school gate with his knees hugged, his eyes wide open with curiosity, the smile on his lips unchanged.

"Are you concerned about me?" Shen Ci's bright eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu An's eyes probingly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"That sounds really hypocritical." Lu An rubbed Shen Ci's hair vigorously. "It's only a few o'clock, why are you so excited? Have you had breakfast?"

Shen Ci shook his head slowly, smiling happily as if he couldn't control himself.

Lu An thought it was strange, but didn't think much about it. He took Shen Ci's hand and pulled him up: "We are all Chinese in H. It's fate that we met. Come with me, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"

He winked at Shen Ci mischievously, stood up and ran away with a smile.

Shen Ci stared at his back in a daze. After a few seconds, he chose to follow Lu An and jog after him.

The cameras and reflectors mounted on the trolleys immediately began to move along the track. Cameras from all directions locked onto Shen Ci and Lu An, capturing their subtle facial expressions.

Shen Ci ran faster and faster, but still couldn't catch up with the long legs in front of him. However, the smile on his face was still bright, as if he was immersed in the joy of chasing.

All cameras were synchronized on the monitor, and all important angles of different scenes were recorded. Min Shoubei frowned and observed, and the hand pinching his chin unconsciously became tighter and tighter.

Min Shoubei had to admit that he had no hope and he had been gambling the entire morning.

After all, this was Shen Ci's first scene, and it was really hard for him to shoot such a difficult scene right away...

The morning light was getting higher and higher, and a half red sun gradually emerged - the emotional turning point was about to come, Min Shoubei couldn't help but worry about Shen Ci, and he was already calculating the date for the reshoot in his mind.

When he was about to run to the designated location, Shen Ci's toes were suddenly tripped by a stone. He fell forward and rubbed his body hard on the gravel-covered ground.

"!!!"

Big mistake! Everyone in the crew was instantly worried.

Even Min Shoubei's brows twitched violently, but he suppressed the command to stop and continued filming with determination.

It looked like Shen Ci was still not done, and Min Shoubei didn't want to disturb his concentration on the role.

Without Min Shoubei's order, no one dared to stop the filming without permission. They could only continue the filming as planned without even saying a greeting.

To their surprise, Shen Ci didn't say a word and immediately got up with a smile on his face.

He looked indifferent and even ran faster, excitedly following Lu An about ten meters away.

Everyone's heart sank, and they couldn't help but calm down, with the camera and lights following closely.

Even though he accidentally fell, Shen Ci remained in the play and did not detach himself from the character.

But gradually, his movements began to slow down, the curve of his mouth corners gradually dropped, his eyelashes trembled, and he struggled to maintain his only remaining positive emotion.

His emotions began to change naturally, and Shen Ci suddenly woke up from a dream and felt the pain in his legs.

He limped and gritted his teeth to keep running, but eventually the pain became so severe that he stopped and walked slowly, dragging his legs.

The smile on his face disappeared at some point, Shen Ci lowered his head and wiped his tears, his slight sobs were recorded by the microphone.

At this time, the actors for the next scene were already in place. They had put down their scripts and were gathered around the set to watch.

Lu An is a professional actor. I heard that he was the top student both when he entered school and on weekdays. Everyone has already had a preset expectation of his acting skills.

The focus of the onlookers has always been Shen Ci.

"It looks very natural." Tang Yingying watched Shen Ci's performance from afar, with surprise in her eyes: "Although it is not the most intense and complicated scene for Wen Yu, it is also quite difficult to act."

"Xiao Shen didn't use any tricks on purpose. He integrated into the role very well. Rather than acting, it was more like expressing."

"As a newcomer, he is really amazing. He has great talent and understanding. I underestimated him before. Hahahaha."

“…”

Several actors had worked with Min Shoubei's regular team before and knew each other. They stared at the set from a distance and chatted in low voices.

Everyone suddenly understood why Min Shoubei was determined to seize today's sunrise time and use a small climax in the script to start filming.

The special thing about this plot is that Shen Ci is the aesthetic core and has to carry the entire plot on his own.

This is a test of Shen Ci's acting skills, but also a showcase for the entire crew.

Min Shoubei knew that the visitors were all big-name movie stars who were arrogant and it was normal for them to look down on the newcomers who had a close relationship with the director, but he did not want this concealed contempt to last too long and affect the atmosphere during the filming and the mentality of the leading actors.

Therefore, Min Shoubei tried to let Shen Ci's wonderful performance serve as a opening shot, and silently tell everyone with facts that Shen Ci is capable enough to match their play.

Fortunately, Min Shoubei won the bet.

At the center of the shooting, Lu An, who was running, quickly noticed something strange behind him and quickly turned around and ran back.

"You, you, you...why didn't you say anything when you broke your leg!" Lu An anxiously helped the man sit down on the side of the road.

Shen Ci didn't say a word and just cried loudly. Lu An was helpless and had to hug him tightly.

"Don't cry, little brat!" Lu An comforted him roughly.

Shen Ci's sobs gradually became louder, and he hugged Lu An's shoulders, crying.

Behind the two of them, the morning sun gradually rose.

"Cut! Passed!"

Min Shoubei shouted loudly while holding the megaphone, and the crew suddenly burst into applause, with even sporadic applause.

The crew members who have worked with Director Min many times know how strict he is. In their impression, they have hardly ever seen a shot that passed the test, but Shen Ci and Lu An actually did it.

This has nothing to do with the relationship between Shen Ci and the director. The performance of the two teenagers just now was indeed close to perfect and impeccable.

The timing of Dawn was perfect, the actors' expressions were also perfect, and Shen Ci's fall and getting up just now was almost a godsend "accident", which directly surpassed the expected artistic effect of this scene.

While the crew was busy expressing their feelings, Min Shoubei hurriedly dropped his megaphone and went to the venue himself to help Shen Ci up.

The staff who had surrounded him just now quickly moved aside. Min Shoubei squeezed to the side of Shen Ci and frowned, "Take a look at the wound."

"Oh oh." Shen Ci's tears had not yet stopped falling, and he lifted up his trousers while wiping them. Fortunately, his trousers were thick enough, and his knees were only slightly scratched. He would be fine in a few days after applying some medicine.

"I basically wear school uniform pants in the play, so it doesn't have much impact. Go and rest first." Min Shoubei squatted down, leaving his back to Shen Ci: "Come up."

Shen Ci: ???

Everyone around had an expression of "What a touching father-son relationship", so Shen Ci had no choice but to go forward, not daring to let Min Shoubei get embarrassed and lose face.

Min Shoubei was tall and strong, and he easily carried his little son on his back and walked with big strides back to the nanny car.

Shen Ci buried his face in Min Shoubei's back the entire time. Unable to face the gazes of the crowd, he simply wanted to commit suicide on the spot.

How old is he... and he's still carried on his father's back! Min Shoubei actually looks calm and normal!

Shen Ci said he couldn't understand it at all!

The filming of the first scene of the movie ended perfectly.

Shen Ci's next performance was scheduled for the afternoon, so he had nothing to do in the evening for the time being.

The afternoon play was very plain, it was about the encounter between the two young protagonists. After the devastation of the morning play, Shen Ci and Lu An completed it effortlessly.

Because the filming went smoothly, he was praised by Brother Zhang so much that his nose was up in the air. After dinner, he happily flipped through the script and ate the ice cream that Min Shoubei had taken the time to order for him.

"Mr. Shen, there is a delivery for you."

The waiter knocked on Shen Ci's door and informed him politely.

Shen Ci wondered, he didn't buy anything.

"What is it?"

Shen Ci looked outside the door and saw the waiter pick up a small paper box from the dining cart and slowly open it - Shen Xiaobai was actually squatting inside.

Shen Ci: !!!

After the little white dog regained its sight, it barked twice in a baby voice and tried hard to crawl out and get into Shen Ci's arms.

Shen Ci quickly picked up the dog and asked the waiter, "This can't have been sent by mail, right? Who sent it?"

Is it my brother Shen Bie? Or... Shen Ci had a vague expectation in his heart, and his tone became excited.

The waiter smiled politely: "The gentleman asked you to put on your mask and go to the underground parking lot to find him."

So Shen Ci quickly went to find Brother Zhang next door, handed Shen Xiaobai to him, and ran away without giving him time to explain.

He entered the elevator while putting on a mask, anxiously pressing the negative floor button and staring at the slowly decreasing floor numbers.

After an extremely long wait, the elevator finally reached the bottom and the door opened.

As expected, Shen Ci saw a familiar tall figure wearing simple casual clothes, standing not far from the elevator, with a gentle smile on his face and his arms slightly open.

"Uncle!" Shen Ci almost jumped up, and ran over like the little white dog just now. He hugged Lu Xiao's waist, and was picked up and turned around several times.

Shen Ci was held in his arms, looking up with his beautiful deer eyes: "Aren't you coming after this week?"

Lu Xiao held his cheeks and kissed him on the forehead: "Little surprise."

"Hehe." Shen Ci smiled foolishly.

Sometimes, Shen Ci really felt that Lu Xiao was like a worm in his stomach, always clearly capturing the little wishes hidden in his heart and inadvertently helping him realize them.

Shen Ci was so touched by the sweetness that she held Lu Xiao's arm tightly and refused to let go.

***

Next to the hotel is a commercial street, which is quite busy at night. The two walked there wearing masks.

Shen Ci wore a black mask and long pants and long sleeves, looking very casual and rustic. Lu Xiao also deliberately changed into a simpler jacket, trying not to attract the attention of passers-by.

Disguise and darkness were both very useful, and since they were in a foreign country, no one noticed them on the way from the hotel.

Shen Ci happily took Lu Xiao's hand and interlocked their fingers possessively.

"We are so happy. No one knows us and we can go shopping freely." Shen Ci smiled brightly.

Lu Xiao held her boyfriend's hand tightly, listening to him talking noisily about what he saw on the street, her brows softened.

He flew here specially tonight to see Shen Ci, but unfortunately he had to go back to work tomorrow morning, so he had to cherish every minute.

"Uncle, I want to eat that." Shen Ci pointed at a roadside stall, his eyes shining.

It was the ubiquitous fried rice cake cart, with transparent plastic film on three sides, but it was already covered with a layer of dust.

There were two or three customers queuing up. An old lady and a girl were making fried rice cakes with a smile on their faces. One could vaguely see the colorful sauce and the delicious-looking finished product.

It looks like it could easily attract children. No wonder Shen Ci's eyes were wide open and he just stood there and refused to move.

Lu Xiao frowned. Shen Ci was very delicate about his stomach. He would definitely get an upset stomach if he ate this kind of roadside food.

"Uncle..." Shen Ci hugged his arm and blinked fiercely, turning on the crazy and coquettish mode: "It would be a pity not to try some local specialties when you come here for fun. Roadside stalls are the soul of a city!"

"Wrong idea." Lu Xiao ruthlessly turned his head away and rejected Shen Ci.

Shen Ci was so annoyed that he got angry.

According to Shen Ci's experience, he couldn't resort to force by saying "I don't care" in this matter, because Lu Xiao would definitely just carry him away.

I can only use soft tactics to coax Lu Xiao into agreeing.

He glanced around and saw that no one was around, so he pulled Lu Xiao down by the collar, stood on tiptoe and kissed him under the chin.

"Uncle, I've already kissed you, isn't that enough? If that's not enough, you can kiss me as much as you want tonight, okay..." Shen Ci continued to act coquettishly, bombarding him with sugar-coated bullets like crazy.

Being stared at by the flashing wet deer eyes, the overly delicate-looking boy pleaded with his face and put forward such an irresistible condition...

Lu Xiao pinched his brows, his heart was shaking violently.

"You can only eat a little." Lu Xiao reluctantly compromised: "Otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Shen Ci nodded wildly, and everything would be easy if Lu Xiao agreed.

Anyway, when he stopped her from eating, she could just act coquettishly again, right? Shen Ci wanted to give himself a hundred thumbs up for his cleverness.

Shen Ci bought one happily. The stall owner was very quick and handed over the fried rice cakes to him with a smile in just three or four minutes.

Seeing another customer eating directly at the stall, Shen Ci simply followed suit, pulling down his mask and putting one into his mouth.

It was so hot in his mouth that Shen Ci almost spit it out. He finally cooled it down enough to start chewing.

The taste of the secret sauce instantly conquered the taste buds. The rice cake was smooth, soft and chewy. Shen Ci's eyes were almost bent with satisfaction, and he gave the stall owner a thumbs up.

The stall owner saw that Shen Ci was a foreigner, and he covered his mouth and praised a few words like "Cute" and "beautiful". After a while, he made another half portion for Shen Ci and said "free" with a smile.

Shen Ci thought that being handsome had this advantage, so he happily thanked the gift and accepted it.

The stall owner's daughter had been observing Shen Ci with a frown on her face, flipping through her cell phone, when she suddenly let out a loud "Ah".

The mother was frightened by her daughter and scolded her in a low voice, but her daughter excitedly showed her her mobile phone and pointed at Shen Ci, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

They were speaking H Mandarin, which Shen Ci couldn't understand, so Lu Xiao considerately took out his phone to find the AI ​​translator.

"It's a good time to test Yunxiao Technology's new product."

Shen Ci looked at the screen and vaguely understood from the fragmentary translation that the two people were talking about - have you seen Shen Ci on the Internet?

No way, this is Country H. Shen Ci doesn't remember the company ever helping him to open up overseas markets.

"Here!" The mother smiled happily and showed Shen Ci the screen of her mobile phone.

The above is an IG post, and the picture is of Shen Ci familiar with the scene yesterday afternoon. There are photos with and without a mask, which is very complete.

The girl mumbled a lot in H Mandarin, and Shen Ci looked at the translator silently. She said something like "Your photos are very popular on IG, we like them very much."

Shen Ci took a closer look and saw that the number next to the red heart sign was more than one million.

No way, this can become popular? Shen Ci was confused, this is too mysterious.

Shen Ci lowered his eyes and looked at the tags on the photo. In addition to the usual complimentary English, there were also a few H country words mixed in.

Lu Xiao took a photo and scanned it directly——

#The little 0 who wants to mop the most#

Shen Ci:?

Little question mark, do you have many friends?
