With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!
Chapter 65 Are you sure you don't want to use a stand-in?
Shen Ci spoke casually, but Guang Rong's eyes lit up as he listened.
"Sis, did you really succeed in starting your business?"
Shen Ci raised an eyebrow noncommittally, looked at the gift in his hand, and gestured with her chin: "He does have some ability."
Glory was on the verge of tears. His bleak future seemed to be illuminated by a ray of light, making his cousin appear exceptionally radiant and majestic.
He swallowed hard and said, "Then...then I'll take it seriously?"
Shen Ci smiled and nodded, then turned to her cousin and asked, "What about you, Sui Sui? Do you really like the flight attendant major?"
He Sui sighed upon hearing this and pouted, "I wouldn't say I like it, but I wouldn't say I hate it either. It's just the best of a bad bunch. I'm not good at being a kindergarten teacher. I can take care of overgrown babies, but when kids get noisy, I can really kill them."
"I'm not even a medical professional; I'm afraid to give myself injections."
"Putting aside everything else, my height is an advantage when I'm interviewing for a flight attendant position, so I shouldn't have any trouble finding a job."
She sighed and looked at Shen Ci, saying, "Sister, you don't need to worry about me now. I have to finish my associate's degree. Maybe one day our school will upgrade to a bachelor's degree program, and I'll become a bachelor's student too."
Sui Sui is the kind of person who is content with the status quo, neither frustrated by the present nor troubled by the future.
Perhaps this is why she had a smooth life in her previous life.
Three days after joining the crew, Shen Li gradually adapted to the rhythm of the production.
She was the fourth female lead, and although her role wasn't very big, she was favored by the director and screenwriter because of her talent.
The original author, Chu He, even added several scenes for Shen Li on set, making the character more three-dimensional and full of life. She is confident that her character "Hua Xixi" will become a very popular role.
"Cut! That's a good take. Everyone, take a ten-minute break. We'll move to the pond scene shortly to film the scene where 'Hua Xixi' falls into the water."
That's how film crews work; they don't film scene by scene according to the plot, but rather based on the actual situation on set.
Shen Li's first scene on her first day on set was a scene after falling into the water, and that scene was only filmed today.
As soon as the director yelled "Cut!", the assistants waiting outside rushed forward, opening their parasols one after another like flowers vying for attention.
Xiaoyun, holding an umbrella in one hand and a handheld fan in the other, came to Shen Li's side: "Ah Li, are you hot? Come and cool off!"
Ali reached out and took the small fan. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, a straw was already inserted into her mouth. Xiao Yun followed up, saying, "Drink a few more sips. It's electrolyte water, which can replenish your energy."
After taking a few big gulps, I felt much better. Since the break was only ten minutes long and I didn't have time to go back to the dressing room, I could only wait in the shade on the side of the set.
Fortunately, Xiaoyun brought a folding chair.
At that moment, Ali finally understood that having an assistant and not having an assistant are truly two different experiences.
"Xiaoyun, don't be busy, you should rest for a while." Ali was still a little uncomfortable and looked at Xiaoyun somewhat apologetically.
Xiaoyun shook her head nonchalantly: "I was resting the whole time while you were filming, so you don't need to worry about me. I'm not tired at all."
On the other side, Kate Tsui's makeup was almost ruined by the heat, and she had to wait in line under the sun for the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, because she also had a lot of scenes to film later.
"Shanshan!"
Just then, a voice called out. The voice was so familiar that Xu Zishan thought she was hallucinating because of the heat.
I subconsciously looked up and found that it really was my father.
"dad!"
Kate Tsui's face lit up with joy. The next second, all the grievances she had suppressed on set for so long surged up uncontrollably, and she cried as she threw herself into her father's arms.
Mr. Xu only had this one precious daughter, who was the apple of his eye since she was little. In his eyes, his daughter's tears were pearls and diamonds.
Xu Zishan's crying almost broke her father's heart.
He asked cautiously with a look of concern, "Oh dear, what's wrong? Did the filming not go well?"
Kate Tsui looked up and cried, "All day long I'm either serving tea or water, kneeling or kowtowing. How can I be happy?"
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment. He remembered that his daughter wanted a maidservant role. At the time, he was reluctant to give her up, but his daughter said that the role offered a lot of room for development and that she really wanted it, so he "bought" the role for her.
Isn't it normal for maids to serve tea and water, and to kneel and kowtow?
Hesitant, but Xu's father obviously wouldn't question his daughter like that, and said with heartache, "Then...then let's not film?"
“That won’t do. I signed a contract. Not filming would be a breach of contract.” Xu Zishan shook her head upon hearing this, clearly still thinking clearly.
However, Xu's father felt sorry for his daughter. Seeing that she was so aggrieved after only three days on set, he immediately said, "If you're going to breach the contract, then so be it. It's not like I can't afford the penalty."
"No, I'm a newcomer. How can a newcomer breach their contract on their very first film? If word gets out, who will dare to hire me?" Kate Tsui calmed down and wiped away her tears.
Although she is a pampered girl, becoming a star is indeed her dream.
She knew that being an actress was tough, and she was mentally prepared. The reason she felt so wronged was largely because of Shen Li. Most of the people she served tea and water to, knelt down and kowtowed to were for Shen Li, and that was what she felt most resentful and aggrieved about.
If the second young lady were to be replaced by a popular actress, she would be perfectly happy and wouldn't feel wronged at all.
Seeing Shen Li with an assistant holding an umbrella and a folding chair to sit on, Xu Zishan felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.
"Dad, why didn't you arrange an assistant for me? I have to get water myself when I'm thirsty." Xu Zishan's anger surged, and she started to whine to her father again.
Mr. Xu smiled and said generously, "Want an assistant? That's easy! Ten should be enough, right?"
"Dad!" Xu Zishan felt a headache coming on and stomped her foot, saying, "Look who has ten assistants? Xu Junhuan only has four!"
"Then tell me how many you want, and Dad will arrange it for you." Xu's father still coaxed his daughter without getting angry.
One is enough.
Xu Zishan muttered, then, feeling she had lost, she changed her mind and said, "Two!"
"Okay, two, I'll arrange them for you in a bit."
"Get ready for the scene change! All actors, get into position quickly!"
At the director's shout, Kate Tsui quickly said, "Dad, we're about to start filming. You can go back now."
"Dad just arrived, and he's hoping to see you act."
Xu Zishan didn't have time to say more, she just instructed, "Then don't make a sound, there are sound cameras on site, they can pick up even the slightest sound."
Meanwhile, the assistant director approached Shen Li and whispered, "Li, are you sure you don't want to use a stunt double?"
Shen Li shook her head upon hearing this: "It's alright, Director. I'm from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and I've been swimming since I was a child. Don't worry."
The assistant director nodded approvingly and turned to the other actors, saying, "Ali will be doing the water scene herself. Everyone, try to get it in one take."
Upon hearing this, Kate Tsui gave a barely perceptible cold smile.
One pass?
Think beautiful!
