I don't know if you guys like watching drama plots, but this summer vacation segment won't be too long, it's just a decorative insertion, and will end in a few chapters, haha!
**********************
Some old-timers like to use their excellent camera sense to "kill" some newcomers, but Xu Linlang never thought that Jiang Shilan would be so targeted at a child. She knew that many people had some reservations about Xiao Jingchen's late arrival, but she had already made arrangements with them earlier. After all, they were still students and only had time to film during the summer vacation. At that time, they also expressed their understanding, so why now...
Xiao Jingchen didn't receive professional training, of course she doesn't know how to act, when filming "Jiang Hu Sha", the actors all accommodated this little kid, but now, Jiang Shilan is obviously unwilling to cooperate, Xu Linzong is anxious to the point of wanting to hit the wall, must she find someone to give her a crash course? Flip the table!
When Xiao Jingchen was "carded" for the first time, Bai Xijing couldn't sit still. He stood beside Xu Linyuan with his hands behind his back, gazing deeply at Jiang Shilan and Xiao Jingchen. Jiang Shilan slowly walked over to her resting chair and sat down, immediately having an assistant bring her cold drinks and fruit, as well as a special person holding a handheld fan to blow air on her. The weather in late June was already hot, especially when filming ancient costume dramas with many layers of clothing, Jiang Shilan had already broken out in a sweat.
Xiao Jingchen stood still, like a lost child at a crossroads, with a big pair of eyes revealing a bewildered red glow.
Bai Xi Jing narrowed his eyes, and his slender fingers gently stroked the smooth jawline, bewildered... ??
Suddenly, Bai Xijing inexplicably burst out laughing and said, "When filming, actors can modify the script at their discretion, as long as they can bring out the plot and the effect the director needs!"
Xu Linlang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Indeed. The script isn't set in stone, nowadays no director is that rigid."
"That's it." Bai Xijing silently hooked the corner of his mouth and beckoned to Xiao Jingchen, who immediately ran over with a thud, habitually hugging his father's arm. Bai Xijing said softly, "Sister Lincang has agreed to let you play freely, just perform casually later. Remember, you're a little snake demon!"
Xiao Jingchen was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Bai Xijing. Ten seconds later, she slowly nodded, "I understand."
Xu Linlang looked at Bai Xijing in surprise, then stared at Xiao Jingchen in confusion, what's going on? ??
Bai Xi Jing walked back to the luxurious director's chair with his hands behind him, sat down and shrugged at Xu Lin Cang who was silently staring at him, "If you believe me, then continue filming."
He who believes in me shall have eternal life!
Xu Linlang believed it. She really believed it, she actually wanted to believe that stupid Bai Xijiang would let the ignorant Xiaojing continue filming with Jiang Shilan, who was making things difficult for her ~omg~ Won't my sister be wronged to tears ba ba ba ba ba ba!!!
Xu Linlang nodded to start again. Jiang Shilan rolled her eyes, pushed away the assistant who was taking care of her, stood up and patted the nonexistent dust on her body, and lazily walked towards the edge of the stage, glancing sideways at Xiao Jingchen who was following slowly, saying, "Little friend, can you act or not? If not, hurry back to learn, don't waste everyone's time here."
Xiao Jingchen gazed at her. His eyes were calm and quiet, without any hint of annoyance. Jiang Shilan felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze, but Xiao Jingchen's head suddenly tilted to one side, staring at her silently with pure eyes. Jiang Shilan rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "Idiot."
Xu Linlang had just started speaking when Jiang Shilan immediately put on the airs of a senior sister.
"Why wasn't it me who died? Tell me, why wasn't it me? Living like this is so lonely, I'm in so much pain, really so much pain!!"
Jiang Shilan gazed at Xiao Jingchen with tears in her eyes, her expression filled with sorrow and despair. However, in her heart, she had already begun to silently calculate how to coordinate with Xiao Jingchen's movements to continue blocking the camera lens. But unexpectedly, Xiao Jingchen, who was only visible from the side, didn't move her feet to search for the camera lens. Instead, she suddenly lifted her foot and lightly kicked Jiang Shilan's knee pit. Jiang Shilan's knees softened, and she involuntarily fell forward...
There were many large stones disguised with foam at the edge of the platform, and falling on them would not cause any damage. Jiang Shilan was momentarily flustered, but her first reaction in her mind was "The most beautiful child star, Wu Xie, because she couldn't act, was repeatedly carded and became furious and violently beat her senior colleague who was acting with her". What a explosive topic this is going to be, and at that time, her own fame will surely rise again.
Alas, wishes are plump, reality is bony!
Jiang Shilan's kneecap had not yet touched the ground when a small paw suddenly pressed against her chest and pushed her back. Jiang Shilan involuntarily stumbled backward, taking two or three steps before her foot suddenly felt empty. She let out a shrill cry as the small paw on her chest retracted, pulling her collar tight. Her entire body was suspended in mid-air, with only her feet barely perched on the edge of the platform, unable to exert any force.
The platform is over four meters high, and falling down won't kill her, but breaking an arm or leg is certain. And with Jiang Shilan's current posture, she will definitely hit the back of her head first, what if she gets a brain concussion or becomes a vegetable?
Jiang Shilan stared at the small, dusty creature in front of her with a look of terror, subconsciously grabbing onto its paws which were grasping her collar, and shrieked, "You wretch, what do you want to do?"
Xiao Jing's head tilted slightly, her eyes sparkling with clarity. "Although I don't understand why living would feel painful, if you want to die, I'll help you!"
Cold sweat slid down Jiang Shilan's forehead as she looked at Xiao Jingchen in a fluster, but saw her own clear reflection in the other person's eyes. Jiang Shilan suddenly came to her senses and quickly turned her head towards the camera... still filming!!!!!
Everyone present stared at Xiao Jingchen with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape, I'm telling you, this is the real deal, so ruthless!
Xu Linlang was also shocked, she opened her mouth, "Sister, are you going to defy the heavens?!", although Jiang Shilan indeed deserved a beating, but you openly bullying her would be hated by others, really would be. Xu Linlang hastily thought of shouting "Card".
But before the word "card" was out, Jiang Shilan suddenly straightened her expression, released her grip on Xiaojing's paws, opened her arms and fell backwards, gazing up at the ceiling with tearful eyes, then slowly closed them.
It's really a look of waiting for death!!!!!
Xu Linlang was taken aback - This... is acting?
Xiao Jingchen blinked his eyes as if he was really going to let go, and Xu Linyang was so scared that her heart almost jumped out. She immediately shouted "Stop!"
Xiao Jingchen suddenly exerted force and pulled, pulling Jiang Shilan back from the half-suspended state. Jiang Shilan's legs went soft and she fell to the ground, her face pale, her lips trembling. She looked up at Xiao Jingchen, her eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.
Two small assistants hurried forward and helped Jiang Shilan to sit down on a chair, fanning her and pressing her pulse, busy with joy.
Xu Lin glared at Xiao Jingchen who was walking back, and shouted, "What were you just doing?"
Xiao Jingchen blinked his eyes, looking at Xu Linyuan with a puzzled expression, and said strangely, "I am a snake demon, she wants to die, I help her, isn't that right?"
Xu Linlang: "......"
Dai Zhi blinked, thinking of Jiang Shilan's extreme contrast from terror to seeking death. Suddenly, Xu Lin Cang's eyes lit up and she sat back down on the small stool, personally re-shooting the scene they had just filmed.
The red-robed woman was venting her hatred and helplessness, the small snake demon looked up at her with a bewildered expression, its eyes naive and pure, not pretending... It really believed what the red-robed woman said: "Why didn't I die instead?"
Turning a vent-like curse into a real wish - indeed it's like something Xiao Yaoyao would do!
This reaction seems more realistic than the original, after all, no matter how inexperienced, a snake demon is still a snake, and cruelty is her nature. Compared to asking a naive question like "why pain", directly helping Hong Chui die is obviously more demonic.
Xu Linlang's mind was momentarily stunned, she found it hard to believe that Xiao Jingchen, a simple-minded fool with such a straightforward brain circuit, would come up with such a deep performance, even Jiang Shilan was led by the nose... Jiang Shilan initially thought that Xiao Jingchen wanted to harm her, so she was so panicked and fearful, but when Xiao Jingchen said out her altered lines, Jiang Shilan reacted and realized she had gone off script, she immediately adjusted, making the reaction that "Hong Chang" would most likely have, although she quickly returned to the play, Jiang Shilan ultimately still lost a move.
Xu Linlang involuntarily cast her gaze towards Bai Xijing, and Bai Xijing silently hooked the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Shilan didn't like Xiao Jingchen, and she would often vent her malice towards her without any restraint. Although Xiao Jingchen wasn't good at acting, she had a very strong wild intuition, and having grown up in a temple since childhood, the enlightenment education she received was all about gods, Buddhas, ghosts, and monsters. She had her own unique understanding of "monsters". Moreover, she had actually raised pythons for a long time. As long as Bai Xijie explained the character setting of "Jiao Ling" clearly to her and told her that when filming, she was Jiao Ling, then in front of the camera, she would become the snake demon Jiao Ling in her own understanding.
At the age of twelve, Xiao Jingchen is no longer as ignorant and naive as she was at six years old. Although her reactions are still slow, the unique and endearing cleverness she displays after acquiring extensive knowledge sometimes makes even Bai Xijing want to surrender. Many people have been unknowingly led into pitfalls by her and can't even utter a word of refusal, they can only admit their misfortune and continue digging holes for themselves.
Xu Linlang read this repetitive sentence over and over again, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was better than the original setting. This kind of silly yet ruthless personality obviously fit the characteristics of a snake demon better, and the conflict between human and snake nature made for a more watchable story, drawing in the audience irresistibly.
Xu Linlang clapped her hands decisively, and for the next few scenes, Jingchen didn't need to follow the script. She could just improvise based on her own understanding of the scene. Of course, this was just an experiment. If it worked out, Jingchen could have more freedom in her future performances. But if not, they would go back to following the script as usual. Xu Linlang still had high hopes for little Jingchen, whose imagination always seemed to exceed expectations. Especially with someone like Jingchen, who was so different from others, no one knew what kind of surprises she might bring to the performance, and this uncertainty only added to the anticipation.
