The names of the programs were printed on their clothes, along with work permits pinned to their chests. One of them was holding a video camera.
Yesterday, when they came to shoot, the green bamboo had been chopping firewood in the backyard. He had only glanced at it from afar and hadn't even spoken, so he didn't recognize it.
She wasn't very good at dealing with strangers, especially when she was alone, except when she was in need of help.
As such, the girl quickly stood up and lowered her head in a somewhat reserved manner. Holding the book in both hands, he didn't say a word.
Director Lin sized up the green bamboo and asked the cameraman to call for Zhou Tingting. He walked in front of the girl with large strides.
Squatting down, he introduced himself in an amiable manner:
"Hello, little girl. My surname is Lin, and I'm the assistant director of the television station. Would it be convenient to ask for your help? "
"Speak!" She looked up at them and whispered back.
"There is a segment in our program where the children in the city experience the daily life of the children in the countryside by doing farm work.
Today, the theme of filming is to learn how to pluck the rice. Can you also take part in the filming to give our little guest a demonstration under the camera? "
Green Bamboo bit his lips and calculated.
If it was just a demonstration, it wouldn't take long for her to prepare lunch for her little benefactor.
Thus, he happily agreed.
In fact, everyone has curiosity about new things. She also wanted to experience what it was like to be on TV.
In addition, the green bamboo had a hidden motive. She did not forget the words of the Village Head's wife – after she showed her face in front of the camera, even more people would see her. At that time, he might get a grant to go to school.
At this moment, a few more staff members came from behind.
On the other side, the cameraman knocked on Zhou Tingting's door. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned one after the other, apparently getting out of bed.
"Makeup artist, hurry up and make up for her." "What time is it? Why are you only getting up now?" Director Lin complained in a low voice.
Thus, Zhou Tingting was in the courtyard dressing up while the green bamboo quietly sat on the side. As he waited, he continued to read "The First Sight of Baodea" while holding the novel in his hands.
After seeing the assailant pacify Dai Yu, Zhou Tingting's makeup was done.
Director Lin called the two girls over and introduced them to everyone.
Since the green bamboo had no filming experience, he purposely encouraged it a little more. Tell her not to worry, just pretend that the camera and the people around her don't exist, and just put on the routine of working at home.
The green bamboo listened attentively, taking all of this into heart. If there were anything he didn't understand, he would immediately ask the other party.
Upon hearing that the two of them were going to work together today, Zhou Tingting swept her gaze over the green bamboo. She was extremely suspicious and disdainful in her heart:
Can this little country bumpkin do it?
Of course, it didn't matter if he wore it like that. After all, only by doing so would he be able to show off his fashionable clothing as well as his elegant taste.
However, just by looking at him, I can tell that he is a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. Unlike her, she had attended many school art festivals and had rich acting experience. Not only is he skilled in acting, but he can also sing and dance.
After a while, this amateur group performance, won't you be so nervous that you can't speak and then repeatedly let NG drag you down?
Her time was precious, but she couldn't afford to waste it.
In short, while Director Lin was explaining the process, Zhou Tingting was still absent-minded and in a distracted state. He recalled dancing on the stage and worried that he would be implicated by the green bamboo.
In the end, not a single word was heard.
The director brought in half a basket of rice and bracts and piled them up into a small mountain.
Video, light, stereo, and Mike were all ready. Qingzhu and Zhou Tingting followed Director Lin's instructions and sat on the small stool side by side.
In actuality, Green Bamboo did not feel nervous at all.
Since he had already promised others, he had to show a serious attitude. Therefore, while the filming was still in a rush, she thought of what Director Lin had said earlier and ran it through her mind.
She reckoned that as long as there were no mishaps, she wouldn't smash the pot.
"Get into position, get ready — Action!" As soon as Director Lin gave the order, the cameras started working.
In front of the camera, Green Bamboo's eyes were calm.
Previously, Director Lin said that speaking English before filming was the same as starting the filming.
She glanced at the rice in front of her and randomly picked one out. She held it in her hand and weighed it.
Following that, he turned his head, smiled as he demonstrated, and introduced Zhou Tingting:
"Actually, eating the bran rice is quite simple, just use the right amount of strength.
Every time I do this, I think of the bracts as little snakes, and of myself as snake breeders.
After helping it shed its ugly old skin, it revealed a shiny new skin. It was both soft and smooth, as if it was reborn.
If you think about it this way, it's because you have a sense of accomplishment.
Like this, he would first grip this place tightly, lifting up the layer of leaves surrounding it and then remove them piece by piece. Only then would he succeed by half.
Then, while it wasn't paying attention, he would pull out the 'beard' and it would be fine.
Look, it's a lot prettier, isn't it?
The key was to remember which way to push. If the reverse, not only waste of strength, but also easy to squeeze the hand out of the mark.
Did you see it clearly? If you don't understand, I can demonstrate it again. "
After saying that, the green bamboo took the peeled corn and threw it into an empty bamboo basket at the side.
Director Lin nodded repeatedly, giving Green Bamboo a Like in his heart.
He didn't expect that this little country girl would have such a variety of feelings. Not only was he calm and collected, but he also knew how to compare the rice to a snake.
With just a few words, he was able to easily adjust the atmosphere. The effect was quite satisfactory.
He had just directed a television show last week. In comparison, the female lead's awkward acting skills couldn't even compare to this young lady's!
Zhou Tingting blinked her eyes, disdainfully thinking:
Isn't that too simple? Almost the same as peeling bananas.
"Little prodigy", understand, she is a photographic memory master.
Take the recently popular little game, "Instant Memory" for example. In the class' WeChat group, her name had long occupied the top of the rankings. For almost a month, they were the highest scorers.
With her intelligence, she didn't even need to be taught. She simply didn't feel any pressure at all, okay?
Zhou Tingting was big and small, so she was very clear on one thing.
In the future, this program will be broadcast on television. In front of the audience, you must never express your true thoughts.
After all, she was going to be a little starlet.
Her two years of chasing the stars had taught her to be careful not to leave a shred of blackmail and evidence in front of the camera.
If not, when she became popular, there would definitely be a paparazzi or black fans who would post the current video to the internet and post it on Weibo.
At that time, the pure and cute girl she worked so hard to set up would be gone.
As a result, just like yesterday, Zhou Tingting hid all her disdain in her heart, put on the look of listening attentively to the lecture, and used a sincere tone to reply:
"You talk so well, I understand everything. But the old saying goes, 'It looks easy, but it's hard to do'. So I'm not sure I can do it. Let's do it this way. I'll try it once. If there's anything wrong, please point it out for me. "
