Chapter 184 Acting
The director initially thought that Xiao Jiujiu was just saying it casually.
After all, it was just a simple go-through.
The child is so young, what could he possibly understand?
But he was proven wrong the very next second.
Xiao Jiujiu looked at Gu Changfeng and said with a smile, "Brother, my martial arts have improved a lot recently. I hope you can give me some pointers."
The little girl spoke in a sweet, childlike voice, which made Gu Changfeng smile gently: "Okay, brother will play with you, but you can't cry."
"Hmph, no way! I'm a female knight-errant!" Little Jiu Jiu proudly raised her chin.
She held up her sword and looked intently at Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng stood holding a long sword, his gaze gentle: "Come on, Qingqing, let your brother see how powerful you are."
"hey-hey!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled, a sly glint in her eyes.
She charged forward, sword in hand, her swordsmanship sharp and fierce, in no way inferior to the martial arts instructor's previous demonstration.
Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then started fighting her seriously.
You only know when you actually fight them.
He didn't need to hold back at all; the little girl's swordsmanship was actually quite good, showing real skill.
The sword flashed, drawing graceful arcs.
The two longswords clashed together with a crisp sound.
"That was a beating..."
The director moved next to the martial arts choreographer and asked in a low voice, "How's this? Isn't it much better than before?"
"This is so much better! She really knows how!" The action choreographer glanced at the director, utterly astonished.
The director was stunned, then burst into laughter: "Wow, that's amazing! My goodness, I've struck gold! Hahaha!"
"With her, we don't need to worry about others. The young lady is skilled; she's quite good." The martial arts instructor's eyes shone with admiration.
Seeing his expression, the director smiled and said, "I understand. I'll do everything I can to keep this girl."
"Excellent swordsmanship." Chang Hongfeng stood with his arms crossed next to the pillar, watching Xiao Jiu Jiu use her sword with admiration.
The young girl that President Ye asked him to protect is really something else; she seems to know a little bit about everything.
Seeing that the director was very satisfied with Xiao Jiu Jiu's acting skills, Shen Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She took a liking to Xiao Jiu Jiu at first sight; she was well-behaved, cute, and a little precocious.
The Nuo opera she had just witnessed had already broadened her horizons, but the swordsmanship she was now witnessing was even more astonishing.
How can there be such a perfect child? I love it!
"Brother, you can stop holding back now. Let's have a good fight! I'll definitely surpass you!"
When the little girl stopped, she let out a soft hum, her chubby little face looking especially adorable.
Gu Changfeng smiled slightly: "Come on."
With the sword in hand, Xiao Jiu Jiu quickened his pace, and Gu Changfeng was not at a disadvantage.
The director stroked his chin: "Luckily, Changfeng had specifically learned swordsmanship before filming, otherwise I feel he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the young girl's acting."
"In terms of swordsmanship, this young girl should be above Gu Yingdi; she knows quite a few moves." The action director nodded in satisfaction.
Such a talented child must have a master, but it's unknown which master he studied under.
"when!"
The two weapons clashed violently, and Xiao Jiujiu glared at Gu Changfeng: "Brother, I'm going to use my full strength!"
The sword in Xiao Jiu Jiu's hand grew increasingly sharp, and the sound of the sword being swung could be heard from time to time.
"when!"
With a crisp sound, the sword in Gu Changfeng's hand was knocked away by Xiao Jiujiu.
The sword still hummed after it fell to the ground, clearly an aftershock from the intense collision.
"Brother, you're too kind~" Little Jiu Jiu stood steadily, a smile on her face, looking charming and cute.
Who would have thought that such a cute little girl could use a sword technique that could knock people's weapons away?
"Oh my god, this is exactly the Qingqing I wanted, a capable and proud young lady!" The director excitedly patted the action choreographer next to him.
The martial arts instructor dodged away disdainfully: "Go away, get away from me with your fat, greasy body."
"Xiao Jiu, have you acted before?" The director's eyes were full of excitement as he stared intently at Xiao Jiu.
Shaking her head, Xiao Jiujiu said, "I've never acted before; this is my first time."
"You're already that good for your first time filming? Your emotions are so natural, you're a natural-born actor!" The director gave a thumbs up and praised you highly.
The martial arts choreographer shoved him aside: "I think you'd be perfect for taking some advanced martial arts lessons, why don't you..."
"Get out of my way! I finally found a girl who knows how to fight, and this is Qingqing from the script." The director said fiercely, shoving the action choreographer aside.
"Stop fighting!"
Little Jiu Jiu blinked her big eyes and said in a childish voice, "I've never acted before, but my grandpa taught me how to use a sword."
"Your grandpa!"
The action director asked excitedly, "Who is your grandfather? Is he a martial arts star? Or a stunt double?"
This swordsmanship is amazing; it's just that I've never described such amazing swordsmanship before.
"Yes, yes, you're better than many martial arts actors." The director nudged his way over: "You're perfect for this!"
"My grandfather..."
Xiao Jiu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "My grandfather isn't a martial arts star; he's just an old man who practices feng shui."
"Is that so?"
The director was taken aback, thinking Xiao Jiujiu was joking: "A feng shui master who can wield a sword?"
"Sweetie, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. From now on, you'll be my go-to little model, okay?"
"Official contact?" Xiao Jiujiu looked at the director curiously. "What does that mean?"
"It's okay, just follow me. I guarantee you'll become the most dazzling child star."
The director spared no effort in promoting himself.
He felt the child was very easy to win over, and if he succeeded, his plan would take another step forward.
The martial arts instructor smiled and said, "Little girl, where did you learn your swordsmanship? Was it really taught to you by your grandfather?"
Who exactly is your grandfather?! That's amazing!
Seeing the martial arts director praising it so highly, Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled sweetly: "My grandfather is my grandfather, I won't tell you too much."
Anyway, all of this was taught to me by my grandfather.
The martial arts instructor stroked his chin: "Okay."
"Xiao Jiu, you're amazing!" Shen Qing walked over with a gratified smile on his face and reached out to pat her head.
The director quickly shouted, "Stop touching it! Stop touching it! Don't mess up the hairstyle anymore! Fix it again, make it look better!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu laughed: "Hehe, it's alright, isn't it?"
"Very good, Auntie is very proud of you," Shen Qing praised.
Chang Hongfeng's doubts deepened at this moment.
Mr. Ye's younger sister is truly a hidden talent.
How old is this?
At just over five years old, he is an excellent swordsman and also a good dancer.
Following her might allow me to make a breakthrough as well.
Chang Hongfeng's eyes lit up as he stared intently at Xiao Jiujiu.
The director, not caring about anything else, immediately arranged the next scene for Xiao Jiu Jiu.
The scene depicts the younger sister, played by Xiao Jiujiu, being chased by the villain, but she cleverly escapes.
And Gu Yingdi will play the heartbroken brother who thought his sister had jumped off a cliff.
"Wait, director, we haven't signed anything yet." Shen Qing quickly stopped the director, who was engrossed in filming.
They're still in the bamboo forest, why are they filming a cliff jump?
“No problem, we can change locations. You’re still in great shape today. What do you think, Mr. Gu?” The director looked intently at Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng sighed: "Yes, that's fine."
"Great, Xiao Jiu, you need to take this scene seriously. You need to be not only charming and cute, but also highly skilled in martial arts." The director took out the script and taught Xiao Jiu.
I analyzed the trend for Xiao Jiujiu.
Seeing this, Chang Hongfeng walked over and said, "We haven't signed a contract yet, which is against the rules. The audition just now has already ended."
"Well, let's sign the contract now, any way you want." The director quickly looked at his assistant not far away.
The assistant ran out with the contract: "I have the previous contract here, you can take a look, we can proceed simultaneously."
"show me."
Chang Hongfeng, with a stern face, picked up the contract and took a picture: "I'll send it to our legal department to take a look."
"it is good."
Previously, Xiao Jiu Jiu only signed a modeling contract; this is an acting contract.
The agency specifically set up for Xiao Jiujiu hasn't even been finalized yet, but Xiao Jiujiu has already landed her first acting role on her own.
This speed is faster than a rocket.
If others find out, I don't know how tiring it will be.
Chang Hongfeng suppressed his eager little scheme: "How about this, let's go to the next filming location first, and I'll confirm with my boss again, okay?"
“Okay, we can do it simultaneously, I understand.” The director nodded and said, “Everyone, let’s wrap up and go back to the studio.”
Because it involves jumping off a cliff, the filming location is a green screen area.
The cliff was added later.
Xiao Jiu Jiu was about to close the door after getting into the car when the director ran over and said, "Wait, let me continue explaining to you."
"Can we try to get into character as soon as we get back there and film it all in one go?"
"Okay, fine... but..."
Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head, momentarily unable to recall what she wanted to say.
Chang Hongfeng then asked, "Are your people all ready?"
“Extras are always on standby, which allows them to get into character more quickly.” The director smiled and nodded at her.
This woman doesn't look like someone to mess with; he'd better be careful.
"Ah."
Chang Hongfeng gave a cold "hmm," and the director immediately fell silent.
After a while, seeing that she was silent, the director took out the script: "Let me explain it to you again."
After listening attentively for a long time, Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"Do you really understand? Should I explain it again? This scene is quite complicated." The director hesitated for a moment and looked at Xiao Jiujiu.
Xiao Jiu Jiu turned her head away: "I know, I'll handle it myself, don't say anything more!"
"Row."
The director then nodded and said nothing more.
Back in the studio, everyone was ready to go.
Ye Chen sent another legal representative.
After the director sent someone to coordinate, they quickly arranged for filming to begin.
Shooting begins.
Xiao Jiu Jiu changed into a pure white sect robe, tied her hair in two cute buns, and held a beautiful sword in her hand.
"Everyone, hurry and chase after her! That's the sect leader's daughter!"
"If you can't catch your son, catching your daughter is a piece of cake!"
"This little girl can't run for long!"
All you could see was Xiao Jiujiu, suspended by wires, running continuously.
Her movements were as light as a swallow.
Jump to the designated location.
With her agile movements, she completed the task with ease.
Like a mountain spirit.
The villains talked as they chased after him, and it looked like they were about to catch up with Xiao Jiujiu.
As she ran, Xiao Jiu Jiu stopped.
She was already standing on the edge of a cliff.
Looking down, Xiao Jiu Jiu turned around to face the villains who had caught up with her: "Who, who are you all?!"
"Little girl, we didn't want to hunt you down. Blame your father for offending someone he shouldn't have!"
"Capture them alive; they're useless if they're dead!"
The group exchanged a glance and then charged forward.
Xiao Jiu Jiu brandished her longsword, her gaze cold as she parried several attacks.
The leader's eyes widened: "This, this swordsmanship is really good, no wonder he's from a major sect."
"What a pity, he won't live much longer!"
"All of you step back and let me handle this!"
He made a harsh statement and continued fighting with Xiao Jiujiu.
But he didn't expect it.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's swordsmanship is fluid and deadly.
They fought for a long time without losing ground.
"Boss, let's all attack together!"
"There's a cliff right behind her, the little girl has nowhere to run!"
"This won't do; it's not in accordance with martial ethics."
The leader immediately objected.
"Boss, we're bad guys, what's with all the talk about morality!"
"That's right, watch me!"
Suddenly, the powder was sprinkled towards Xiao Jiu Jiu.
Xiao Jiujiu sneered, "You're nothing special!"
After taking several steps back, Xiao Jiu Jiu was now standing firmly on the edge of the cliff.
Stones were rolling down behind us, which looked particularly dangerous.
"So what? If you're so capable, then jump down. Otherwise, you'd better come with us obediently!"
"You don't want to get hurt, do you?"
The villains took several steps forward, narrowing the encirclement.
They all covered their mouths with cloths, clearly indicating they had come prepared.
Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't know what kind of powder it was. She glanced at them and snorted coldly, "Even if I die, I will never let myself become a father or a burden to the sect."
After saying that, Xiao Jiujiu turned around, took a leap, and jumped off the cliff.
"Cut! Cut, cut, cut!"
The director looked on excitedly: "Perfect, absolutely perfect, Xiao Jiu, you're a born actress!"
Everyone applauded, cheering for Xiao Jiu Jiu's wonderful performance.
This little girl is so lively and charming.
"Very well shot." Gu Changfeng smiled and looked at Xiao Jiujiu.
During filming, Gu Changfeng praised Xiao Jiujiu highly, constantly complimenting her for being clever and quick-witted.
The main problem is that Xiao Jiujiu is too clever and witty; it doesn't seem like acting.
Everything felt natural.
Xiao Jiujiu also has a very good impression of Gu Yingdi.
She smiled and said, "Brother~"
Just that one sound melted Gu Yingdi's heart.
He said to the director, "That's all for today. Xiao Jiu is tired too. Would you like some juice?"
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of juice and thoughtfully opened the cap for Xiao Jiu Jiu.
After finishing her drink, Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu!"
"You're welcome. I like you very much. I think you're a very good actor. Would you like to continue acting in the future?" Gu Changfeng asked softly.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "If it's someone like Brother Gu, I'm willing."
Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled...
