Chapter 182: Act 1, start shooting(1/2)

Han Ning had already put on makeup and was wearing casual clothes with suspenders, with a tired and tired look on her face. Sika was in front of the mirror, so she walked over and followed Sika, watching the mirror and reading her lines.

The content of this scene is very simple. It tells the story of Qianxue who is about to go for an interview. She is practicing her speech in front of the mirror, while Takeli is squatting on the table, quietly accompanying her.

"Put away the props and decorate the room?"

Since there were only a small crew, Director Zhou had to wear many hats and was very busy. Everyone worked hard in silence, and the only sound in the audience was his shouts.

Director Zhou looked at the time, turned back and shouted in the direction of the makeup team: "Han Ning, get ready, the filming will start at two o'clock."

"Well, you're ready."

Han Ning replied, touched Sika in front of the mirror, and said with a smile: "Sika, wait a moment, just sit in front of the mirror like you are now, don't run around, let's try to get over it once

.”

"Meow."

Sika agreed and continued to look at her old self in the mirror.

If I hadn't been promoted to the Civet Cat, I would probably have looked like this six or seven years later when I graduated from Qiqi University and was ready to find a job.

At 1:50, Han Ning came to the shooting scene with Sika in her arms.

This is an indoor venue. The prop team moved very quickly. The bathroom environment was quickly arranged and the cameras were ready. Apart from Sika, this scene was performed by Han Ning alone. Can it be done in one go?

, it depends on the cooperation of Han Ning and Sika.

"Are you all ready? Let's go into the field, recorder? Come and play!"

"The first act, scene one of "My Love Under the Starry Sky" begins!"

The camera has been turned on, and the recorder is facing the camera with a slate and shouts, announcing that the filming of "My Love Under the Stars" has officially started.



"well……"

Qianxue hung up the phone call from her mother to greet her, and slumped feebly on the computer chair, looking at the computer screen with dull eyes.

Zhuli fell asleep at her feet. Hearing her sigh, he opened his eyes and meowed softly.

The computer screen displayed a recruitment website. She had submitted a lot of resumes, but they seemed to be in vain, with no reply or a polite rejection letter.

Qianxue copied the addresses of the four companies she would be interviewing with tomorrow in a small notebook, closed the computer, got up and got a towel to wash up.

She walked into the bathroom numbly and looked at herself in the mirror quietly. The bath water had been boiled, but she made no move.

Zhuli followed her, looked at the bathroom door, and walked in together.

"Meow."

Zhuli called softly. It was very old and its voice was no longer as clear as before.

It wanted to jump onto the sink. In the past, this height was easy for it, but now it couldn't jump up. It twisted its buttocks on the ground and never jumped up.

"Zhuli."

Qianxue knelt down, touched it, picked it up, and placed it on the sink.

Zhuli quietly looked at her in the mirror.

At this time, Qianxue cleared her throat, put on a professional smile on her face, and started her interview practice in front of the mirror.

"Hello examiner, I am honored to come to your company for an interview. My name is Qianxue. I am twenty-two years old this year. I major in international economics and trade. I really want to work in foreign trade. Although I have insufficient experience, I work hard. I hope

Can I apply to be a foreign trade clerk in your company..."

"I have loved animals since I was a child. I usually like to browse news on the Internet and read books. I have been following your magazine column for a long time and have always longed to work in your company, so I came to apply for the copywriting planning of your Pet Weekly..."

"When I was in college, I served as the webmaster of the campus radio station. I am quite experienced in personnel management and organizational coordination. I would like to apply for a job as a human resources assistant in your company..."

"I...sigh..."

Qianxue's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and the more she spoke, the less confident she became. She submitted a lot of resumes and interviewed with many companies, but almost all of them had no results. There were four more interviews tomorrow, and the pressure was like a mountain.

She was a little out of breath.

She is just an ordinary college student, her major is not popular, and she has no industry experience. In the current environment, it is extremely difficult to find a job.

Takeri didn't make a sound. When Qianxue was practicing in front of the mirror, he watched intently, sometimes looking at her in the mirror, sometimes looking up at her in reality.

Just like when she was young, Zhuli stretched out her little paws and touched her in the mirror, while her big tail waggled.

It can feel the depression in Qianxue's heart, and even though it is no longer young, it still wants to make Qianxue happy in this way.

Qianxue watched Zhuli touching herself in the mirror. She smiled, hugged Zhuli, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Zhuli, I'm so bad..."

Zhuli looked into her eyes, as if he could feel her mood.

"Meow."



"Ka! Passed! Great! Let the prop team prepare the next one."

Director Zhou looked at the surveillance with a look of satisfaction on his face. The shooting of the first scene went so smoothly, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Han Ning's performance is as stable as ever, and her solid line skills, whether it is tone, intonation, small movements or facial micro-expressions, for a newcomer, there is no way to be more picky.

What surprised him the most was Xika's performance. He originally thought that Xika would be obedient and sit in front of the mirror, but he didn't expect that it would be so spiritual, as if it could feel Qianxue's emotions.

Look into her eyes, look at her in the mirror, and stretch out her little paws to touch her.

Everything seemed to go with the flow, real but warm. There was no explicit explanation in the camera, but the discerning audience could naturally tell that the old Zhuli was comforting and amusing her.

The effect of this scene was unexpected, and Director Zhou's confidence greatly increased. Sure enough, Sika was the most correct choice.

Director Zhou didn't feel much about it when he watched Sika's Douyin videos before. It wasn't until now that he really felt that this cat was really human and that it was a treasure.

This scene was over in one go, and Han Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up Sika and sat on a chair to rest for a while.

"Xika, you did a great job in this scene."

Han Ning touched Sika's big head, then took out a few pieces of cat food from the side and fed them to Sika.

In the scene just now, Han Ning was still a little worried that Xika would suddenly jump away. Unexpectedly, Xika seemed to be deeper into the scene than she was. After looking at it several times, Han Ning was actually brought into the state by Xika.

Sika was lying on her lap, eating cat food with her mouth open. Although she had never acted before, with a little cooperation, the effect was excellent.

The makeup artist came over and briefly touched up Han Ning's makeup, so Sika didn't need to touch up her makeup anymore. She is an old cat now.

The prop team moved very quickly. After changing the room and setting it up for a while, the black curtain was closed and weak lights were turned on, and the late night environment emerged.

"Han Ning, get some rest. Bring Sika over and prepare to start filming the second scene!"

Hearing this, Han Ning quickly gathered herself together, recalled the script of this scene in her mind, and carried Sika to the set.

In this scene, Qianxue left her mother to live outside her home. Her former boyfriend had to leave the city after graduation. The two had no choice but to break up. Songyue, her friend who shared the same apartment, found a job and moved out of the shared apartment. However, she herself failed to find a job many times...

The rent and emotional pressure made Qianxue breathless.

This game was quite difficult and tested Han Ning's ability to control her emotions.

"Are you ready? Come on in, record the game, hit the boards!"

After Han Ning lay down on the bed with Sika in her arms and adjusted her position, the recorder pointed at the camera and said again: "The first scene of "My Love Under the Star", the second scene, begins!"



In the dark night, in the dim room, Qianxue did not turn on the lights. The computer beside her bed was still on. On the page of her mailbox, a letter was opened.

"I am very grateful to Ms. Qianxue for coming to the company for an interview despite her busy schedule. After our comprehensive consideration, our position may not be suitable for Ms. Qianxue. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. I wish Ms. Qianxue can find a satisfactory job as soon as possible.

.”

Qianxue failed again.

She lay weakly on the bed, the room was dark, just like her mood, there seemed to be no light.

Qianxue's hair was a little messy, her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling, and her hands seemed to have no strength to even lift them.

Zhuli curled up next to her pillow and stayed with her quietly.

Zhuli didn't fall asleep either. It felt Qianxue's pain but was unable to do anything.

The phone next to the pillow lights up and a message pops up.

Qianxue didn't even have the strength to turn over. She slowly stretched out her hand and touched her phone. Then she slowly turned sideways, curled up like an injured child, and opened her phone to check the messages.

The message was sent by my good friend Songyue.

"Qianxue, how was the interview today? Did it go well?"

There was no expression on her face, and the light from the mobile phone shone on her face, making her look like a wooden figure.

"If it fails, they all want to find someone with experience."

"It's okay, Qianxue, you will find a satisfactory job, so keep going!!"

Qianxue looked at this message for a long time, did not reply, and put her phone aside.

"I have worked very hard..."

In the dark night, staying alone in this empty room, she felt a little overwhelmed. She put her arms against her forehead, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
To be continued...
