Chapter 605 The baby’s mother is here
A week after Ding Xiu joined the crew of Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom, during the break, everyone gathered in his RV to escape the heat and chat.
Taking a microphone, Ding Xiu turned on the karaoke mode.
"I can't blame you now."
"I just hate that I can't resist fate"
"Being in love all the time"
"Who knew the tragedy was already doomed"
…
"Annie I can't lose you"
"Annie I can't forget you"
"Annie, I call you with my life"
"Love you forever"
The scene of Ding Xiu singing at the top of his lungs was really weird and made everyone laugh.
It is hard to imagine the scene of a handsome man in period costume holding a microphone and singing Annie. While singing, Ding Xiu also added hand movements.
Stretch out your palms and slowly close them.
It's obviously a very soulful singing, but it looks like a tease.
After singing, Ding Xiu did not leave anyone else idle. He handed the microphone to Zhang Zhiyao and asked him to sing a song too.
"The crowds of people in Taipei are rising and falling at dusk"
"I am also ups and downs"
"Hurrying heels and empty eyes"
“Don’t ask questions about what’s on your mind.”
"I'm just an ordinary man"
"Emotions only want stability."
Compared to Ding Xiu's playful singing, Zhang Zhiyao is much more serious and has a nice tone. After all, he debuted as a singer and only started filming after he became famous.
In the past few days when Ding Xiu joined the group, he also had a martial arts competition with Ding Xiu.
Everyone knows that he has learned Aikido, Taekwondo, Sanda, and Jeet Kune Do. In addition to being proficient in four foreign languages, he also speaks Mandarin and Cantonese very smoothly.
When he was young, he studied abroad and was even selected for the Brazilian national youth team.
Of course, there was no suspense at all when trying to compete with Ding Xiu. It was just a matter of being abused. After two beatings, he became honest.
Listening to the song in his ears, Ding Xiu poured himself a glass of wine. In this scorching hot weather, there is nothing happier than blowing the air conditioner, drinking wine, and singing songs.
In order to make excuses for his laziness, he also said to Yang Mi: "Actors can't push themselves too hard. It's good for everyone to relax appropriately."
"These young people face you who are serious every day, so filming is very stressful."
Yang Mi as a boss and Yang Mi as an actor are completely different concepts.
As a boss, she is fierce, serious, conscientious, and meticulous. She has been tough with Ding Xiu several times in order to coordinate the roles.
Even Ding Xiu is like this, let alone talking to other people.
Several young people were scolded by her so that they could not hold their heads up when they had something to do. Ding Xiu helped out several times.
"It's good for them to be serious." Holding her hands on her chest, Da Mimi couldn't listen at all: "It's better for me to scold them and let them gain something than to go out and be scolded by others."
Ding Xiu sneered: "You didn't do well back then, and I didn't scold you. Why don't you come over now?"
"Have you scolded me too often?" Thinking of memories from many years ago, Yang Mi clapped her fingers and said, "If I remember correctly, I cried after being scolded by you several times."
She was often scolded for taking on roles, being scolded for skipping scenes, being scolded for not filming well, and being scolded for not being familiar with her lines. For a period of time, she avoided Ding Xiu.
That is to say, later on, their careers got on the right track, and both of them were busy, so it would be better to spend less time together and more time apart.
"Is there any?" Ding Xiu smiled coquettishly.
"Yes!" Reba waved and asked Reba to come over: "Tell me, have you ever been scolded by Brother Xiu while filming Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer?"
Reba glanced at the situation at the scene and said weakly: "That's not scolding, that's Brother Xiu's encouragement and guidance to me, and it's for my own good."
She finally understood that Yang Mi and Ding Xiu were on the same team. They had to go back to the company after filming, and Ding Xiu could not be offended by anyone.
Ding Xiu leaned back on his chair, spread his hands and said, "Justice lies in the heart of the people."
"I'm too lazy to tell you, I'm going to wait."
After Yang Mi stood up and left, Reba sat down in her seat and asked Ding Xiu for advice: "Brother Xiu, you joined the group later than me. Why do you know your lines better than me? Do you have any tips?"
Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom is a long-running TV series, and the actors have a lot of lines. She started to work overtime to memorize the lines after chasing the murderer in the white night.
Until now, I haven't memorized all the lines.
You can only memorize it selectively, such as what scenes you have to shoot tomorrow and finish it after working overtime today.
Every day I pray to other actors not to waste time and to shoot according to the normal shooting schedule.
Otherwise, once the scene is temporarily changed, she will have to cool down.
On the other hand, Ding Xiu is much calmer. He plays with Yang Mi every day without any stumble and his performance is very natural.
Although he obviously joined the group later than her, the effect was different. Reba was sure that Ding Xiu had probably not read the script several times before joining the group, let alone memorized it.
"Well, there must be a secret." Ding Xiu said slowly, "It's a cliché. Think about the character before shooting, or the night before shooting, fantasize about tomorrow's scene."
"Don't memorize lines by rote, get into the heart of the character and speak naturally according to the scene at that time."
A starring script has hundreds of pages. It is impossible to write down all the lines.
They are all segmented backs.
There is also the idea of taking on the role's heart, and the actor himself re-creates the lines without changing the overall framework.
For example, there is a scene where the protagonist bumps into someone on the road and says sorry.
It can also be said here like sorry, sorry, are you hurt or something like that.
Unchanged, according to the script, that's a fool.
Actors need to be flexible.
Of course, there is another more important reason why Ding Xiu memorizes his lines so well. He has relatively strong mental power.
It may be due to his two lifetimes. In terms of memory, he is much stronger than ordinary people. Not only can he remember everything he has read, but he can basically remember everything after reading it a few times.
This is a talent that others cannot learn.
"Oh." Reba nodded in understanding.
Seeing her like this, Ding Xiu sighed and said, "The best way is to spend more time thinking about the character. Your next movie is coming soon, so try to spend as much time as possible on character research."
After filming "White Night", she seamlessly transitioned into "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", which was indeed a bit difficult for her.
Sometimes acting also requires talent.
"It's almost time." Reba said solemnly: "When the filming is completed here, I will set aside two months to figure out the role."
"I will definitely live up to the cultivation of the company and Brother Xiu."
The next drama after Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom is the beautiful Li Huizhen, who is the female lead.
That is to say, the company has made a lot of money in the past two years and is rich, so she has been able to become the heroine this time.
Opportunities are rare, so of course you have to work hard.
Ding Xiu explained to her: "This drama is a collaboration with Shonan Satellite TV. If the broadcasting effect is good, there is no guarantee that it will win the next Golden Eagle Award."
The organizer of the Golden Eagle Award is Shonan Satellite TV. Naturally, the dramas broadcast on their station should be given preferential treatment so that it is easier to win the award.
If Reba's next drama is really popular, Ding Xiu wouldn't mind having a shameless face and going to have a few meals with the director of Shonan Satellite TV.
Let's get some awards for her to decorate.
The more awards you get, the better your reputation as an actor will be.
Why does Damimi have so many fans? She has filmed so many movies and has representative works, so she is not lacking in popularity.
Many reasons are that she won few awards. Not only did she win few awards, but she also made one bad movie after another and was nominated for the Golden Broomstick.
As long as there is a best actress and the best actress trophy in hand, it will not be like this.
Look at Huang Xiaoming again, he is comparable to the female version of Yang Mi.
There are also many bad movies, various greasy bosses, and erratic acting.
But there are not many people who criticize him. In the circle, his resources are always online, and there are many bosses and directors who are willing to invest in him.
A big reason is that the reputation is still there.
Every two or three years, the audience must affirm and win an award.
"Really? Thank you, Brother Xiu. I will try my best." Reba held Ding Xiu's hand tightly and kept thanking him.
The little girl's palms were filled with cotton, which was so soft that it made Ding Xiu's heart feel soft.
"You don't need to thank me. These are all things I should do, both in public and private matters."
"Where, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will remember your kindness to me."
"Well, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me." Everyone likes to hear flattery. Ding Xiu thought that he didn't help Reba much, but he was still very happy that she could remember it in his heart.
Ding Xiu was chatting animatedly with Reba. Outside, Gao Yuanyuan came to visit the class with her child in her arms.
The assistant sent a message to Ding Xiu, but Ding Xiu didn't see his phone on the table.
A few minutes later, Gao Yuanyuan, wearing a hat, opened the door of the RV.
What caught his eye was Ding Xiu smiling and chatting with Reba. The two were talking and laughing.
Fortunately, there were not just two people in the car, but several others singing, otherwise the explanation would not be clear.
"Sister Yuanyuan is here." Reba stood up instantly to greet her as if there were springs under her butt, and reached out to hug the child.
"The little guy is so cute. Sister Yuanyuan, can you give me a hug?"
"sure."
When the real owner arrived, the rest of the people did not dare to wait any longer. As soon as the music was turned off, they said hello and got out of the car.
The car became quiet, leaving only Reba holding the child, Ding Xiu, and Gao Yuanyuan.
"It's more comfortable here, with air conditioning, eating fruit, and singing." Gao Yuanyuan sat on the massage chair and stretched comfortably: "I almost have a nervous breakdown at home because of the noise from the children."
Hearing that he was burying himself, Ding Xiu said: "Thank you for your hard work. When the filming here is finished, I will go back and replace you."
"It's okay, no need, I can still stand it!"
Seeing the delicate atmosphere, Reba didn't dare to stay any longer. She even regretted picking up the child.
"What about that, Sister Yuanyuan, I'll take the kids out to bask in the sun, and you guys can talk."
After taking only two steps, Reba heard a sound coming from the car.
"Who's a father who doesn't take care of his child for four or five months?"
"Is he your biological child?"
"How long will it take to finish filming here? How long will it take to finish filming here? Two months or three months?"
"If I don't come, you won't know how to go home, right?"
"How did you tell me before that you would go back after filming White Night, but in the end, you quietly took on another movie."
"Blame me, blame me. I took on this drama temporarily to do a favor for my friends."
"Help, that's good. I'm so busy with my family's affairs. You're quite enthusiastic about helping outsiders. Why don't you help me..."
Reba hugged the child and ran around outside. The child was chubby and cute, but his hands and feet were not honest and he liked to pinch people.
Half an hour later, the door of the RV opened, and Ding Xiu and Gao Yuanyuan stepped out of the car with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you for your hard work, Reba."
"It's not hard, it's fun for kids."
"Everyone has been working hard during this period. I'm here to visit the class for a few days. Don't leave until I finish work in the evening. I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Yuanyuan."
The naive Reba didn't know the situation and really thought she was treating her to dinner.
Until I heard Yang Mi say that this was the boss's wife coming to declare her sovereignty.
Sure enough, at the dinner table that night, Gao Yuanyuan enthusiastically greeted the actresses on the set, and not a single beautiful one was left behind.
In the next few days, when she had nothing to do, she would bring food and drinks to the crew.
Before, after filming, Ding Xiu would either drink tea or bask in the sun, or chat with girls, tell people's fortunes, read their horoscopes, and so on.
Now I spend my free time taking care of my kids.
I didn’t have enough experience, and I was pulled over by children several times.
At night, Gao Yuanyuan took the child to sleep with him. Every three or four hours, the child would thunder in his ears and cry from hunger.
When the children are full, the adults want more.
After a few days, Ding Xiu, who was a little fat, lost weight.
The weight loss effect is quite good.
"Is the child easy to take care of?"
"It's not easy to carry."
"You know it's hard work."
"knew."
"When will you go home?"
"After filming...I take one day off every week to go back."
"That's pretty much it."
Gao Yuanyuan left the set with a hat on her head and sunglasses on her face, holding her child in her arms.
Ding Xiu walked her to the car in tears.
He really didn't expect that raising a child would be so tiring. From this point of view, it was really inappropriate to leave Gao Yuanyuan at home all the time.
