Chapter 57

Li Hao: "Cry!"

In one second, Xiao Qunqun mustered her emotions, her eyes reddened in the next, and tears streamed down in the third.

By the fourth second, she was already in floods of tears.

"Waaah~"

╥﹏╥

Her tear-streaked face immediately stunned everyone around her.

"Uh..."

Li Hao didn't expect the child to cry so readily, so he quickly picked her up and coaxed her.

"Good girl, good girl, don't cry."

"Okay..."

Xiao Qunqun sniffled, her tears stopping abruptly.

If the tear stains weren't still there, no one would have been able to tell that she had just been crying.

Watching Xiao Qunqun's masterful control of her emotions, Li Hao couldn't help but ask Xu Lan, laughing and crying.

"Sister Xu, are you sure Qunqun hasn't learned acting?"

"Her crying comes so easily; many actors can't even do that."

Xu Lan shook her head, also a little surprised.

"No, she only participated in some performance activities in kindergarten, but she hasn't had any systematic training."

"It may also be because children are simple-minded."

Lu Xuan also became interested and took Xiao Qunqun from Li Hao, saying with a smile.

"Qunqun, can you make a disappointed expression?"

"For example, if Uncle Li Hao promised to bring you a cake yesterday but didn't bring it today."

Li Hao: "???"

Xiao Qunqun thought for a moment, tilting her head and pouting.

"Although Uncle Li Hao didn't bring me cake, it may be because he was too busy and forgot. Qunqun doesn't blame him~"

Although she said that, the emotion of disappointment was still very obvious!

This performance had already exceeded Li Hao's expectations.

Perhaps, as Lu Xuan said, because children are simple-minded, their emotional expressions are so obvious.

Or perhaps, Xiao Qunqun has a natural talent for acting.

Then, Li Hao and Lu Xuan gave her a few more scenarios.

They were the same ones the crew asked extras.

The little girl handled them all with ease and even enjoyed them.

"So much fun~ Hehe!"

For Xiao Qunqun, acting might really be as fun as playing a game.

This reminded Su Yao of herself at the beginning.

The reason she entered this industry was because she loved acting, loved it from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking of this, Su Yao glanced at Lu Xuan.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan, she would have probably left this industry long ago.

Lu Xuan had healed her.

An idea began to grow in Su Yao's heart.

"Are you convinced?"

Lu Xuan hugged Qunqun, looking at Li Hao smugly.

Li Hao gave a thumbs up: "Convinced!"

Although the little girl's acting was very direct, it was far from the level of those veteran actors.

But it was often this most genuine expression of emotion that could evoke empathy from the depths of the audience's hearts.

"So, does that mean Qunqun passed the test?"

"Yes, Qunqun is amazing!"

"Wow~"

Lu Xuan and Xiao Qunqun high-fived to celebrate, and everyone laughed.

Thus, the decision for Xiao Qunqun to play a cameo role was made so happily.

That afternoon, Lu Xuan decided to shoot this scene directly.

Xu Lan personally did her daughter's makeup, making her look extremely weak.

"Qunqun, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Xiao Qunqun nodded solemnly, very seriously.

Lu Xuan walked over and patted her head, smiling to relax her.

"Just like playing a game, Qunqun is going to play a character who has no family here. It's just pretend, not real!"

He emphasized again, afraid that the little girl wouldn't be able to accept it.

But Xiao Qunqun understood it very clearly.

"Qunqun knows. Qunqun has a family. Mommy is over there, and Uncle is right here. They're all here."

"It's just that when filming, Qunqun is alone."

The people around were extremely envious to see the little girl being so sensible.

"So sensible!"

"Damn it, trying to trick me into having a daughter again, aren't you!"

"Stop dreaming, you don't even have a girlfriend."

Lu Xuan had already seen Qunqun's precociousness, so he wasn't surprised.

After communicating with the person in charge of the set, paying special attention to Qunqun's safety, he returned to the director's position.

The moment he sat down, Lu Xuan's expression turned serious.

"Let's try to get it in one take!"

"Everyone, pay attention, get ready to start!"

In an instant, all the actors focused and began to build their emotions.

Even the extras were no exception.

With Lu Xuan, even a background extra was required to be extremely detailed.

The clapperboard was struck.

"Action!"

At the beginning, Cao Bin, the righteous policeman who played the protagonist's brother-in-law, was wearing a leather jacket, walking away from the camera with his back to it.

His expression and movements were perfect.

Lu Xuan silently remembered the actor's name, Zhou Yiwei.

He could be added to the list of actors for future collaborations.

"Brother Embroidery Spring Blade – Sir Add Money!" (Xiu Chun Dao - Jia Qian Ju Shi)

"How could a famous scene be without you."

Withdrawing his gaze from Zhou Yiwei, Lu Xuan looked at Xiao Qunqun, who was huddled in the corner of the camera.

Next was her performance.

The camera also began to slowly focus on Xiao Qunqun.

"Wait a minute, police uncle!"

At Xu Lan's signal from off-camera, Xiao Qunqun stood up shakily.

Her thin body was dressed in clothes full of patches, her voice filled with fear, but exceptionally firm.

Seeing Xiao Qunqun stand up, Xu Bin turned back.

He squatted in front of the little girl, staring at her with sharp eyes.

"Do you have anything you want to tell me?"

He thought the little girl had figured it out and wanted to reveal information about the drug dealers.

As a result, everyone in the audience heard what the little girl said.

"Uncle, please, can you stop investigating Indian medicine?"

Her eyes gradually filled with pleading!

At this moment, Xiao Qunqun remembered the weak appearance of her mother when she was in the hospital bed.

She also remembered one late night when she witnessed her mother trying to commit suicide but had to give up because of her.

Endless fear and the fear of losing her mother filled the little girl's heart!

Xiao Qunqun cried, cried very sadly!

She cried so hard that everyone present felt a tightness in their hearts, unable to distinguish between reality and fiction.

Then, Xiao Qunqun spoke while sobbing.

"The genuine... the genuine medicine is too expensive, it costs over 40,000 yuan a bottle!"

"The big house at home was eaten up by me, my dad ran away because of me, my mom... my mom is also sick, waaaah!"

"Now... now it's not easy for there to be a cheaper medicine."

"Can you please, police uncle, let go of the people selling the medicine?"

"I just want to live... live so that my mom can see me grow up!"

"Is... is that wrong?"

"I don't want to die! I want to live!"

At this moment, Xiao Qunqun completely released the grievances in her heart, crying harder and harder.

"I want Mommy! I want to live and grow up!"

The cries touched the nerves of everyone in the crew.

Everyone in the audience was completely immersed in Xiao Qunqun's acting, clenching their fists tightly.

The first one to break down was Zhou Yiwei, who was acting opposite the little girl.

Looking at the little girl's tearful, sad eyes, his own eyes also turned red, and he remembered his old mother who had died of illness.

Sadness flowed like a river!

Seeing that the scene was getting a little out of control, Lu Xuan, as the director, wiped the corners of his eyes and quickly shouted.

"Cut!"

However, Xiao Qunqun still didn't stop crying.

Instead, she cried even harder!
