Chapter 40: That Child is Gold in the Sand!

~6 min read 1,192 words

The previous director only gave Shengzai this guest opportunity because of Arima Kana's face, plus Shengzai didn't need a salary.

In fact, this role was originally a passerby, and the demand for acting skills could be high, but it could also be almost none.

The high demand for acting skills is to find a child who can face the pounce of a wild wolf without changing his face, which is almost impossible to find.

And the requirement for acting skills is almost none, which is that this shot, their technical team can directly process the close-ups into the back of the wild wolf or the person playing it through post-processing.

This means that as long as the performer is a child, almost everyone can meet the requirements, and it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman.

But after seeing Shengzai's performance just now, the director changed his mind.

He found that Shengzai's appearance was very outstanding, at least it was the quality of a child star debut, plus the setting of "kendo boy," if all his shots were cut off, it would be a pity.

So before the official filming, the director specially reminded Shengzai many times out of kindness.

Of course, although he cherished talent and was optimistic about Shengzai's potential, he could only do this much.

If Shengzai couldn't pass several takes in a row, then he would be powerless.

After all, film needs money, and everyone's time is very precious, so it is impossible to give Shengzai one opportunity after another.

If the other party can grasp it, then he will naturally give him close-up shots, and Shengzai might gradually emerge in this movie.

But if the other party can't grasp it, then he can only follow the original plan and process Shengzai's facial expressions and shots later.

"Action———!"

Following the director's order, the professional personnel on the side immediately gave instructions to the police dog.

And the police dog that received the instructions also rushed towards Shengzai and Kana in an instant.

Large dog breeds are naturally similar to wolves, plus the prop team's superb makeup technology, the police dog rushing towards Shengzai and the others at this moment really looks like a hungry wolf baring its fangs.

"Ah! Don't come over———!"

The child star who can cry in ten seconds cries as soon as he says, but Shengzai can see that this tsundere loli Arima Kana is really scared this time, and it doesn't seem like she is acting.

Because there is no such paragraph in the original script where Kana falls directly because she is too scared.

However, the director on the side did not call a stop because of this, which means that the fear Kana is showing now does not affect the content of the original script.

It can even be said that Kana, who is scared now, is more restoring the content of the script.

'Since that's the case, it's my turn to perform next!'

According to the original script, facing the pouncing wild wolf, Shengzai should rush up with a sword, and then be knocked away by the wild wolf.

The director's requirement for him is just to wave the sword randomly without showing fear.

But as the champion of the national kendo competition, letting him wave the sword randomly while holding a bamboo sword is really difficult for him.

'Anyway, just hit its claws with the sword, and then make an action of being knocked away, right?'

Shengzai, who understood what he should probably do, looked up again the next second, and his eyes were instantly different!

And the director who had been staring at the camera, when he saw Shengzai's eyes at this moment, the whole person was instantly stunned.

Originally, he thought that Shengzai, as a five-year-old child, would definitely show fear when facing such a "big scene," no matter how mentally prepared he was.

But when he saw Shengzai's eyes clearly now, the whole person was instantly shocked.

What kind of eyes are those? What kind of expression is that? Why can a five-year-old child show such a firm and decisive expression when facing a hungry wolf pouncing?

Is this really a child who is only five years old? At such an age, does he have such a firm psychological quality?

And soon, everyone present, including the director, was shocked by Shengzai's next operation.

Because according to the director's needs, Shengzai only needs to wave the sword forward casually next. Although the script content is a kendo boy fighting a wild wolf.

But considering the combat effectiveness of the police dog, let alone a five-year-old child, even an ordinary adult is probably not an opponent.

However, what the director and everyone present did not expect was that the moment he saw the "hungry wolf" pouncing, Shengzai's small body actually rushed out like a cannonball, and waved the bamboo sword in his hand that was a head taller than him, directly sweeping towards the "hungry wolf's" claws.

"No matter what happens, I will never back down!

Because Grandpa once said that the sword held in the hand is to protect the weak!"

While Shengzai waved the bamboo sword, he also read his only line in this play with a firm expression.

After getting the power sharing of Shengzais in other worlds, even if it is a five-year-old body now, let alone he is fighting with a police dog without malice, even if it is really a hungry wolf, he has the power to fight.

But when Shengzai made a strike, he suddenly remembered that according to the movie script, he should be knocked away because he was not an opponent.

So soon, after Shengzai swept a sword, his body made a state of insufficient strength in mid-air, and he made an action of falling backward.

"Hara, give that police dog an instruction, let it pounce on that child again."

Hearing what the director said, the staff on the side were also stunned, because according to the script, their shot should have ended.

"Don't be stunned, I am the director, do as I say now.

Don't you see? That child is gold buried in the sand. Is the emotional performance and action just now possessed by a five-year-old child?

His performance can be more exciting, but the needs of the plot limit his play!"

Hearing the director's words, everyone present reacted, it's just that the director saw the talent of little Shengzai and is preparing to add shots to him!

And this situation is indeed rare during the filming process, but people are directors, this is the privilege of people.

"Whistle———!"

The staff off the field blew a whistle, and then made a few gestures. The "hungry wolf" that had slowly walked towards Kana turned its head towards Shengzai not far away.

And Shengzai, who was already lying on the ground, was originally ready to go off the field, but when he saw the "hungry wolf" pouncing on him again, and the camera was still aimed at him, he was also stupid.

【This is completely different from the script I got!】
