Chapter 924 Survival Game 112
It was already noon time and the lunch box was delivered.
Director Wang called for lunch and brought Tao Ran a box of lunch.
Tao Ran shook his head.
"Not hungry?"
"No." Tao Ran took the bread from his schoolbag. She prepares food for the day when she goes out in the morning. "I brought food."
"Eat something warm."
"No."
"Why?"
"I don't want to lie about food or drink." She has told many lies. If she is used, she will eat the food. But now...she is pretending to be a staff relative or friend.
She felt that if she continued to eat and drink here, she would become a complete liar. So she returned even the bottle of water that her uncle had given her before.
"The little girl is quite principled. But uncle also ate your apple. Eat some food."
Tao Ran still shook his head. The apple is a prop for her to get close to this uncle. She didn't really mean it.
Thinking of this, Tao Ran quickly finished the bread in his hand and smiled at the director. "I'm stuffed."
Director Wang looked at this special child with even greater interest.
"I'm sure you haven't read the script before."
"Um."
"Because you are mistaken. This family is not a brother and sister dependent on each other. They also have a paralyzed grandfather and a lost brother."
"It's so miserable. So," Tao Ran lowered his voice, "If you put it this way, their performance was even worse."
"Tell me."
"So my brother also has to protect my grandfather, because when my brother comes back, they should be more protective of their family..."
"If it were you, how would you act..."
"Maybe, I will be very excited. No. If they come to the door, I may beg them, beg them in various ways, begging them not to do anything. If they don't listen, I will probably...be very excited."
Tao Ran didn't know if now was a good time, but she felt like she couldn't hold it in any longer. She doesn't want to lie anymore. Because sooner or later it will be exposed.
"Uncle, I want to act. Is there any role that can be given to me?" She still expressed her request. "I will work hard, I will not be lazy, and I will achieve the results you want."
The director was stunned.
So suddenly?
And the little girl's shining eyes were filled with sincerity.
At this time, the director's assistant came over.
He quietly informed the director that while he was eating, he went to make inquiries and found that no one on the staff brought children here today.
"Kid, who are your parents? Which staff member are they?" Director Wang asked again.
"Uncle, I came here alone. My parents are not here." Tao Ran was a little panicked. "But I didn't lie to you. I actually never said that my parents were staff..."
Director Wang was stunned again.
Uh... think about it, she really didn't say anything?
When I asked myself before, the little girl only said that she didn't dare to say it. It seemed that she had misunderstood?
Director Wang couldn't help but let out a laugh. Have you been tricked? Being led into a ditch? By a child?
At this time, Assistant Director Ge was holding a lunch box and wanted to talk to Director Wang about the afternoon shooting. When he saw Tao Ran, who had his head lowered and seemed to be being lectured by Director Wang, he immediately jumped up.
"Why is the little girl still here? Didn't you ask Aya to take you out? I'm sorry, Director Wang, this little girl is a tourist and broke in on her own. I will take her out right now!"
Tao Ran panicked, stood up quickly, and quickly bowed to Director Ge, saying sorry, and then begged Director Wang that she didn't want to leave. Director Wang ate her apple, so he shouldn't drive her away, right?
As expected, Director Wang waved his hand first, signaling to the assistant director to be calm, and then looked at Tao Ran with a smile.
Tourist? This little girl is actually a tourist!
He was actually secretly happy in his heart.
With such a big crew and so many people, this kid was able to move around in it with ease, he was very courageous and very clever. More importantly, the tourist child means that she cannot know the content of the script in advance. The analysis she just said is really her own opinion.
This is a teenage boy! Being so insightful, smart, expressive, principled, and infectious, this child was such a surprise to him.
Tao Ran bowed to the two directors again.
"I want to act. I came to the crew to recommend myself for a role." These words made all the staff happy. This really doesn't sound like what a child would say.
Tao Ran told the truth about how she returned to the set after she first approached the assistant director but was refused to leave.
When everyone heard that she came by car from the next city, they all marveled at the child's extraordinary perseverance and courage.
Director Wang: "You really want to act?"
"Yes! I really want to! I want to be a top actor."
"But you have also seen that it is not easy to become an actor, and it is even more difficult to be top. How do you know you can act? Do you have acting skills?"
"I don't know, but I think I should be good."
Tao Ran thought for two seconds:
“I didn’t say anything when we were on the bus, but just by my words and deeds, the uncle driver thought I was a child brought out by the conductor’s aunt;
When we took a taxi, I was so calm and skillful that the driver thought I was coming to the park to see my father and chatted with me for a while;
The cleaning aunt in the park believed me and pointed out the location of the crew; the extra actor uncle believed me, took me to rest and took care of me; even the director uncle believed me. I am a child brought by the staff, right?
actually……"
Tao Ran glanced at the assistant director: "Actually, if I hadn't revealed that I was here to get a role, the assistant director wouldn't have known that I was a tourist. So I think I still have some potential as an actor. Even if I'm not good at it, I'm still willing to learn. , as long as uncle gives me this opportunity..."
The director nodded and pointedly looked at the agents and assistants of the leading actors in the crowd:
"See? Some people work hard to eat this bowl of rice, but some people waste opportunities again and again! Attitude, in a certain sense, is exactly the quality that an actor needs most!
There's no reason why a professional actor can't do something that an amateur kid can do! Some people, don’t lower your prices, you’ll end up worse than a child! Some people quickly conveyed what I said, that’s what I meant! If you still can't perform, you can give up your position as soon as possible. "
He felt that the timing of this kid's appearance was just right, which would at least give him a chance to beat the other actors.
Director Wang touched Tao Ran's head: "I have one more important question. If you answer it, I can let you live like a little actor."
"You say."
"Why do you want to be an actor?" Director Wang has asked many people this question.
There are various answers, probably divided into three types.
Most people will answer: realizing life ideals and achieving life goals.
But each of the three hundred and sixty lines can be answered with this answer. Insincere and empty.
What about after becoming an actor? Are your ideals and goals realized? Like when he doesn't play a good role as a male or female partner?
Therefore, in Director Wang's opinion, this is the worst, most empty, and most essential answer.
Compared to this answer, Director Wang even prefers an answer like: "I want to make a lot of money."
At least it's true and reliable.
People who only think about making money will at least work hard, and are at least better than fake people, and better than those who just want the fame and halo of a "star"!
Director Wang really wanted to know what this girl who looked like she had a lot of ideas would answer.
But Tao Ran was beyond his expectation.
She answered exactly Director Wang's favorite answer.
"I will use my own efforts to change my destiny!" Tao Ran answered after thinking for a few seconds.
She wants to change her social status and the status quo, so that no one will bully them anymore, and to make her mother-in-law no longer worry about money, so that she can spend her old age peacefully.
"I want my life to be meaningful, to make the mother who gave birth to me and the mother-in-law who loves me proud of me, and I also want to protect my mother-in-law!"
Director Wang chatted with Tao Ran for a few more words.
Then he said:
"You just made a good analysis of the plot and characters. So, I want to see what you would do if you were also the daughter of this family and evil forces came to your door!"
Director Wang was already moved. This little girl seemed to have a malleable talent, and he was willing to take some time and patience to test her.
Even if she can't act, as long as he can confirm her previous appeal, sense of involvement or aura, he will probably give her a chance.
"Don't be afraid, act with confidence and boldness. If you want to be an actor, show your uncle how capable you are!"
In this way, Tao Ran got an opportunity.
Director Wang selected three actors.
Two acted as bad guys and one acted as the brother to support Tao Ran. He was afraid that Tao Ran would be nervous, so he even dispersed some of the staff.
In fact, Director Wang didn't have much hope for this "trial show", but the effect surprised him.
All the emotions that he had asked the actor for but not seen came out in the child.
The child was timid at the beginning, then gradually filled with fear, then mustered up the courage to hug the ruffian and begged, and finally yelled and punched him...
The whole performance turned out to be natural.
Although it is not advanced, it is not deliberate at all, but is very smooth.
The little tears were streaming down her face, and she was so angry that she still cried and begged. The child's longing but slim hope is in huge contrast with the cruel and indifferent reality, and even a deeper sense of oppression and suffocation emerges.
The performance given by the child was so contagious that all the actors watching were moved with sympathy. Many people had sore noses and started to twitch...
This was something that Director Wang did not expect.
Thanks to the professional actors taking over the scene with the child, otherwise the scene would have fallen to the floor. He didn't shout, and the two villain actors were also led to show the villain's abomination, and their attacks on his brother were exaggerated and vicious.
A villain was carrying a stick and was about to beat his brother. The trapped girl resisted to no avail and bit the villain directly on the arm...
The villain actor subconsciously let go, and the little girl rushed up to block her brother, crying profusely...
Director Wang was right, Tao Ran's appeal was so outstanding, her emotions directly caused the young actor who played the brother to shed tears and grit his teeth, with cruelty in his eyes...
"Click..."
Then he shouted stop.
Then he motioned to the assistant director, "Show the video just now to the two main actors, let them see how the child acted, and see if they are embarrassed!"
Director Wang personally took a tissue and gave it to Tao Ran: "Kid, you did a great job!"
right!
Tao Ran has been congratulating himself on his good luck!
This scene is so similar to that night!
So she can put herself in it all at once!
Just now, she closed her eyes and took two deep breaths. When she opened her eyes again, it was as if she had returned to that night. The bad guys suddenly came, but she just wanted to protect her home and her family!
As soon as the emotions came up, anger, unwillingness, hatred, sadness, and collapse came one after another... The effect presented was her truest emotion.
"Uncle, can I get an extra role?"
She didn't have time to wipe away her tears. After apologizing to the actor she hit and bitten, Tao Ran only wanted to know this one thing.
"I want to be an actor. I want to be the best actor I can be."
"Okay." Director Wang replied to her with just one word.
He clearly saw the firm light shining in the child's eyes, that kind of thing is called faith. This is an essential element for a person's success. But unfortunately, there are very few people in this world who have this thing.
Even if you don't look at the little girl's talent and other advantages, this alone is enough to impress him.
"There is no little girl's role in uncle's script now, but it's not a big problem. You can add it. You go back first and leave an address. Uncle will find someone to contact you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Uncle, is it true?"
"Really. How could uncle lie in front of so many people?"
"But..." Tao Ran was a little anxious, fearing that the director would just coax her: "Aren't the extras ready to be paid as they go along with the filming? Why do you have to wait until the day after tomorrow to contact me? I can come directly tomorrow."
"Be obedient and trust uncle. I will contact you later."
With that said, Director Wang also asked the assistant director to give Tao Ran a business card...
Soon the afternoon play started, and Director Wang asked Tao Ran to go back first.
But she said that she didn't want to disturb anyone, she just wanted to sit quietly and watch the filming. She promises to be good.
Seeing the longing in her eyes, Director Wang couldn't bear to refuse and made an exception to let her sit aside.
Probably because of the excitement of the children, the test shooting in the afternoon went very smoothly. The female co-star finally cried, and the male co-star was much more emotional.
But Director Wang was still dissatisfied, so he skipped the scene and went directly to shoot two outdoor scenes.
Tao Ran stayed in the corner throughout the whole process and was very quiet all afternoon. She tried her best to absorb knowledge about all the shooting, from actors, makeup to lighting props, and from time to time she picked up a pen to jot down a note in the composition book.
With a touching performance and the approval of the director, Tao Ran received a warm greeting from everyone in the afternoon. Many brothers and sisters gave her snacks, and even the female supporting sister also sent a snack.
Director Wang observed her secretly and found that the little girl was not at all complacent or complacent because of this. She resolutely did not touch the food and drinks that were delivered, just like she did with the lunch boxes.
I am very principled in not touching things that I get for nothing.
In the evening, Tao Ran bid farewell to the crew.
Director Wang asked his assistant to arrange for a driver to take her back to a neighboring city, but Tao Ran refused. She took out her ticket. The director became more and more satisfied with her. This little girl is still organized, prepared, and well-planned.
Director Wang insisted that the driver take her to the station, and asked the driver to take her to the long-distance bus, and arranged for her to sit behind the driver.
The driver also stuffed her with a hundred yuan, saying that it was Director Wang who asked her to take a regular taxi home directly after arriving at the station.
Tao Ran said that he failed to make the film, so he refused to accept the money.
But the driver persisted, saying that the director told her that because of her scene today, the co-stars were much more excited. She had done a great job today, so she was paid according to the daily salary of an extra who had lines and roles. money.
Only then did Tao Ran accept the money...
