TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 89: Filming

“You're talented. Are you coming back tomorrow?”

"Yes, but I have to attend a foreign language class in the morning, so I won't be here until afternoon."

“ Foreign language, yes. If you want to learn Russian.Pak Tua Deng studied before and spoke fluently. Let him teach you how to talk. ”

"Thank you?"

"of course. We also will not charge you for it.”

Mu Jingzhe did not expect Shao Dong to be so impressive. In just one afternoon, he managed to infiltrate grandfather's inner circle and even found a free foreign language teacher.

“Then learn diligently.” Mu Jingzhe patted Shao Dong on the shoulder.

In novels, the elderly grandfather and grandmother usually appear as Sweeper Monks[1]. They're always pretty impressive.

Although Mu Jingzhe knew that they were not all Sweeper Monks, many of these elders were very impressive. It shouldn't be a problem for Shao Dong to learn from them.

“Mm.” Shao Dong nodded excitedly.

Compared to interacting with his friends, who gave him a curious or pitying look every time he spoke, he actually preferred interacting with these old grandfathers.

They had seen many things in their lives, so this old geezer did not pay much attention to his stuttering.

Parents also like obedient children who like to learn. He felt very comfortable around them.

Shao Dong and the others made arrangements for themselves.

Mu Jingzhe picked up Little Bei and Xiao Wu, planning to return, but he was stopped by the school teacher. It turned out that a director had invited Little Bei to an audition for a television drama.

Small Bei's mouth widened.

She had just said on the way there that she wanted to dance and shoot a commercial, and almost immediately, the opportunity presented itself.

Although this is not dancing or filming commercials, filming a television drama is also awesome.

Mu Jingzhe asked in surprise, “Is it true? which director? What TV show?”

“I'm not sure about the details. We were told by a school in town. I heard that the director saw Shao Bei's costume-changing performance and thought that he was cute, so he wanted her to try out the role of Little Nezha.”

Mu Jingzhe was overjoyed. He did not expect such an opportunity to come from Little Bei's previous appearance.

Therefore, no one knew when one's chance would come. However, if one worked hard, he would always have more chances.

“If you think that's a good idea, we can take him to the audition the day after tomorrow. I heard there was another little boy auditioning with her. ”

Little Nezha was a child, and Little Bei was the only little girl invited to audition.

The teacher told Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei, but Mu Jingzhe did not say anything.

This was because he knew that a little girl could also play Little Nezha. Isn't there a little girl in the modern era who plays Little Nezha? Next, he acted quite well.

A little girl who plays a boy or a boy who plays a little girl is cross-gender acting, but this is actually nothing for kids.

He must seize this opportunity. Mu Jingzhe decided to invite Little Bei to give it a try the next day, just in case the role was given if they were late.

When Little Bei heard that he could act in a drama that would be aired on TV in the future, he was overjoyed. He likes acting very much.

“Bu, I will definitely act well. I will definitely act well.”

Mu Jingzhe wanted to take Little Bei with him. This time, it was not suitable to bring all the children, so he could only hold them here for a while.

Fortunately, Shao Qiyang had a day off work and was able to take them to the area so that they could continue learning.

The filming location for the television drama was originally in a certain film studio complex. This time, it will be filmed in the city as there is a lake in the city suitable for filming.

Only when they arrived did they know the details.

This little Nezha was actually just a supporting role and did not have many scenes. They initially decide on an actor, but the little actor suddenly loses his teeth, and both of his front teeth are missing.

It is normal for a child to lose a tooth. How else, so there's no one to blame for this.

However, the toothless Nezha would definitely not do it. They also can't wait for their teeth to grow. That was why they decided to look for a small temporary replacement. Hence, they naturally found their way to art school.

Art schools have recommended a boy they feel is a good fit. Then, they could not help but think of Little Nezha from Little Bei. They found the video and sent it to the director.

After seeing the video, the director felt that it was pretty good. That was why Little Bei got the chance to audition.

After hearing this, Mu Jingzhe thought inwardly that it seemed like he had made the right decision by bringing along the little Nezha attire Little Bei had worn before.

During the audition, the boys who auditioned for the Little Nezha part did not consider Little Bei as their opponent. They thought that she was there to audition for another role.

When a big little boy saw the beautiful Little Bei, he even came to talk to him while laughing.

Then, as the audition began, Mu Jingzhe directly helped Little Bei put on the Nezha costume to increase his competitiveness. He wanted the director to see that Little Bei could really do a good job.

In the end, as Mu Jingzhe had expected. If he did not put Little Bei into the Nezha costume, the director would probably hesitate, but after that, Little Bei immediately let out a small Nezha aura. When the director saw this, he decided on the spot.

As he learned Little Bei was their competitor for the role of Little Nezha, the big-looking boy was stunned. When he heard the results, he lamented.

It was not because he was not casted but because his worldview had collapsed.

“Nezha little is a girl. Huu huu's. I even said I wanted to be a brave little boy, like Little Nezha.”.

"No, Little Nezha is a man." His mother was embarrassed, helpless, and amused.

The little boy did not believe him. “But she's a girl. He's Little Nezha now.”

The little boy knew nothing about cross-gender acting. She was very sad and she could not stop crying even when her mother took her away.

Mu Jingzhe could only apologize and proceed to discuss the details.

“If there is no problem, let's start filming immediately. The production team has already prepared the costumes. When the time comes, we will see them together and see which costumes look the best.”

The director did not want to waste a single day. This was different from what Mu Jingzhe had expected. He thought that they should go back and wait to be told.

However, since the director had said so, he naturally could not resist. If there was something they did not pack in the trunk, he could buy it. After all, from his voice, filming would end in four to five days.

Mu Jingzhe contacted Shao Qiyang and thought of a way to send a message to Li Zhaodi, asking her to help take care of the children.

After Shao Qiyang and Li Zhaodi received the message, they discussed how to take care of the children. When Shao Qiyang went to work, he would bring the children. After they ate at Li Zhaodi's place, he would then take them to art school. Finally, when he came home from work, he would come and pick them up.

Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei also started filming on set. They had said that they would start filming soon, but in truth, they wanted Little Bei to get used to it first and see what filming was like.

This was also the first time Little Bei had entered the production team. The end result and the filming process were very different, and Little Bei would ask Mu Jingzhe whenever he came across something he did not understand.

"Mom, why would the director film the same scene over and over again?"

“That's how much acting is done. Sometimes because the actor did not perform well, sometimes because the scene had to be filmed from a different angle.”.

The filming process was actually different from what he had imagined. It was very dry, complicated, and repetitive. It sounds very glamorous, but the actual process of filming was different from what he had imagined.

It was the same even in the modern era, when conditions were much better. Furthermore, in this era, the conditions were much more difficult.
