The Female Celebrity Transmigrated into the Daughter of Her Arch Nemesis-Chapter 142: God reward the Acting of Food
Chapter 142
Three years ago.
At that time, Qiu Xuetong, who should have been in his prime, went to the Ji family's house very low-key with his briefcase.
"Grandpa Qiu, you were looking for me?"
"Ruochu, yes, the script for Free Roaming 2 has been completed. Grandpa didn't know if you were interested, so I brought it over directly. Take a look whenever you have time, and give Grandpa a call anytime if you find it quite interesting!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Qiu Xuetong, who was also famous and prestigious outside, smiled like Maitreya Buddha at that moment. Not only did he give the still confidential script to the 12-year-old child all at once.
That gesture was as humble as could be.
Such treatment was rare in the entire entertainment industry, and no matter who it was, not accepting it would be an insult.
But Ji Ruochu, who was only twelve years old and still in junior high school at that time, just gently put the script on the table, and then slowly pushed it back.
"Grandpa, I won't consider acting before the college entrance examination, so..."
"I see, Grandpa also knows that we must focus on our studies now. But there's no rush for this drama. You're in junior three now, and the college entrance exam is just three years away—" As he spoke, Qiu Xuetong's face stiffened slightly.
Tsk, three years again?
Could he really not get rid of this "three years" curse?
"Just three years!" Qiu Xuetong's expression changed very naturally. "It happens to be perfect timing. When the time comes, you'll be sixteen years old. The main storyline of the second part is about ten years after the first part, when you were fifteen or sixteen years old, the timing is just right!"
Fortunately, he had the foresight to finish shooting the scenes of the heroine's childhood experiences in the first part, otherwise it would be even more difficult to find a child actor now.
"Two years."
"Ah?" Qiu Xuetong, who was silently calculating in his heart, was stunned.
"I should be able to skip a grade. In two years I'll be able to take the college entrance exam. By then, if Director Qiu still hasn't found a suitable actress—"
"No need to wait until then. The female lead of this drama is you. The screenwriter and I have decided on you!" Qiu Xuetong immediately confirmed, afraid that the other party would change her mind if he was a second late.
"Keep the script first, read it when you have time, don't read it when you're busy, there's no rush."
"Okay."
...
"Just agreed like that?"
After learning about the context, Ji Mochen was very unhappy.
"The pay is at the level of a second-line actress, and the crew is willing to wait for me for two years. Also, the script is very good, so why not agree?"
"..." However, she did have a point, "But my daughter, you've just finished the college entrance exam. Even if we're going into the crew, it's not like we lack that little time."
"I want to hurry up and finish filming, so I can go on a trip with you guys."
...
And so, nowadays, Ji Ruochu is filming alone, with two heavyweight people accompanying her.
One was the number one fan girl of a former famous actress, and the other was a well-known traffic star in the entertainment industry.
One was responsible for taking pictures of her, and the other was responsible for making her soup to nourish her. The main focus was one female lead outside and one male lead inside.
It had to be said, the husband and wife cooperated very well. The one who took pictures could retouch products every day that were no worse than makeup photos, and the one who made soup could come up with different tricks every day.
Except that the fans of the latter were really too many, causing the family of three to receive attention from all directions every day, everything was perfect.
But because of this, the winds and rains on the Internet did not affect them at all, but instead gained them a batch of new passerby fans.
[To be honest, I've seen news about the Ji family these years, and I was a little annoyed at first, but later I realized that they really kept a low profile.
When she won the international gold medal at the age of thirteen, she didn't brag. She also didn't brag when she took the college entrance examination at the age of fifteen. And the ways she topped the hot search these months have been strange, obviously not bought by herself.]
[Oh, although it's a good thing that her father has become more stable, but as a result, the entertainment industry has been quite boring these months, which really kills interest.]
[Indeed.]
Of course, these were just the feelings of netizens. Since the parties themselves did not maintain heat, and there were no companies adding fuel behind the scenes, they were just as happy that this family did not come out to grab their hot searches.
But after just a few days, no one remembered the series of hot searches about the Ji family, and Ji Ruochu was filming steadily in the crew.
Although Qiu Xuetong was determined to wait for her to star, the crew couldn't stop completely. So when Ji Ruochu joined, the other actors had mostly finished their parts.
And for the scenes related to her, there were only a handful of literary dramas and martial arts scenes with high physical demands.
The literary dramas were completed in just three days, and the rest were confrontation scenes with various characters.
In fact, before shooting, whether it was the director, screenwriter, or even the staff, they were prepared for Ji Ruochu's first time as the heroine to have endless NGs. But in fact...
"Pass!"
"Cut! Passed!"
"Good, this one passed too!"
"Perfect! Too perfect! That look... Yes! This is the feeling I want!"
On the first day of shooting, Ji Ruochu used her solid skills to tell everyone what it meant to have "innate talent".
Although this movie still focused on martial arts, the literary dramas were its finishing touch.
Although the children of the Jianghu were carefree, their hearts were also made of flesh. Control of emotions was also indispensable.
And in the eyes of everyone, Ji Ruochu's liveliness and quirkiness as a child were just a true reflection of herself.
The daily life of young Qian Siqi was simple - just three things. But adult Qian Siqi was different. From the initial innocence and romance, to the various experiences at the bottom of the cliff later, this role was no longer just a child with simple emotions.
To be honest, waiting three years for an actress without any acting foundation would be preposterous at any time.
But the director of this drama was Qiu Xuetong, the famously capable Qiu Xuetong who could enhance actors' performing skills, the Qiu Xuetong who could play a winning hand from beginning to end.
Plus, the reaction after the release of Free Roaming made the investors who had halfway pulled out funds in the first part increasingly patient.
It was just three years, who couldn't wait?
Last time, after waiting for three years, a smash hit came about. This time waiting another three years means what?
It means another smash hit!
And now, this gamble was increasingly promising because of Ji Ruochu's comprehensible talents and extremely strong martial arts skills.
How could the investors not be overjoyed?
Just look at the afternoon tea, which had never repeated since the heroine joined the crew, and the chicken legs added to the work meals from time to time, to know that in the eyes of these rich big shots, the current crew was the hen that was about to lay golden eggs!
"Slap!"
After another crisp roundhouse kick, the director shouted "Cut" with great satisfaction.
"Ruochu, go get ready first. The next scene is your fight scene with Yuanzhi." After speaking, the director exhorted uneasily, "Yuanzhi, take it easy on her."
"Don't worry, Director!" Tan Yuanzhi, the male lead in the previous film and supporting actor in this one, immediately replied.
She was the little princess of the Ji family. Even if he had an iron head, he didn't dare to collide with her!
