Chapter 41: Is This the Acting of a Five-Year-Old Child?

~7 min read 1,245 words

The camera was still aimed at him, and the "hungry wolf" baring its fangs continued to walk towards him slowly.

Looking at the director and others in the distance giving him a thumbs up, Shengzai naturally understood that this was an opportunity to add scenes for himself.

It's just that these adults didn't explain in advance and let him play freely. Have they ever thought that he is just a five-year-old boy?

Before, it was a bit of a loss to say no salary. Such a hard performance, if you don't add money afterwards, it's really unreasonable.

Watching the "hungry wolf" walk towards him slowly, Shengzai could only support the ground with the bamboo sword, and then "struggled" to climb up again.

And soon, the director and the crew members present witnessed what is called a real young kendo genius.

A five-year-old child actually held a bamboo sword and circled with a police dog made up as a hungry wolf.

Whether it is the action of dodging or the attack of waving the sword, it is so natural, especially the scene where Shengzai used the bamboo sword to resist the "hungry wolf's" sharp teeth, which made everyone present look thrilling.

It was clearly them who were filming the movie, but for a moment, they even had an illusion that the scene in front of them was incomparably real.

Shengzai's original shots in the movie should be about one minute, but the fighting scene later was increased to more than five minutes.

According to the director, this fighting scene is enough to sublimate the whole movie.

As for the length of the movie, there is no need to worry at all, just pick out some irrelevant plots in the movie.

"Kid, my name is Oikawa Soichiro. I apologize for my previous behavior of looking down on you. This is my business card.

Your talent and potential are far beyond my expectations at the beginning. If it is you, maybe there is really hope to become the most shining child star."

After the movie filming, Director Oikawa not only took the initiative to find Shengzai, but also paid him a shooting remuneration of 30,000 yen.

Although according to the agreement at the beginning, Shengzai did say no salary, but Shengzai performed exceptionally well in this performance, and there were more shots than originally, so he finally got the remuneration.

Looking at the 10,000-yen banknotes in the envelope and the business card in his hand, Shengzai was stunned for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Being an artist is really quite profitable. He was just a passerby with no fame, and he performed for a few minutes, and he could get a reward of 30,000 yen.

You know, Yuko draws doujinshi day and night at home, and her monthly income is only about hundreds of thousands of yen.

And with such an income, she is already considered a middle-to-high income group among her peers.

"Hmph, you didn't tell Kana before that you would know such kendo!

Damn it, now everyone in the crew is praising you, and no one is discussing Kana's acting skills. Clearly, you are just a newcomer, and your acting skills are just a layman. Why did Kana lose..."

For the first attempt at acting, Shengzai was quite satisfied with his performance today.

Although it is not a debut, it is considered to have entered the circle, and he got a reward for his first job, so Shengzai was quite happy with the result.

However, he was happy, but a certain loli beside him was unhappy because of this.

Arima Kana, as a genius child star, not to mention adult actors, just in terms of child stars, she was clearly the big name.

Now she cannot accept that as a senior, she was overshadowed by Shengzai, a newcomer layman, this time.

This is the second time she has tasted defeat from her peers.

The last time was a guy named Hoshino Aqua, and this time it was Shengzai.

Whether it is that Aqua or Shengzai, their age is clearly equivalent to hers, but as a genius child star, she was defeated, which makes her quite unwilling.

"Relax, Kana-chan, the reason why I can overshadow your genius child star is entirely because this role is very compatible with me.

The so-called actor is to be able to control various roles. Compared to you, who is called a genius child star, I am still far behind.

And I also think Kana acted very well. Just watching from the side, I feel like I can learn a lot."

There is no way, the reason why Shengzai has this opportunity is ultimately because Arima Kana fought for him, and Shengzai is also very grateful to the other party.

So now that the tsundere loli is unhappy, Shengzai naturally has to be responsible for coaxing.

"Hmph... you know Kana's power is enough. Wanting to be an actor is very difficult.

However... your performance just now... is also considered good. Of course, although compared to the genius child star Kana, it is indeed far behind."

Even if she is tsundere again, the current Kana is still just a loli. Hearing other people's praise and affirmation, she will also be complacent because of this.

Shengzai's words of praise for this "sensible junior" soon made her forget the unhappiness just now, and ran back to her mother.

When Shengzai brought the 30,000 yen he earned home, Yuko was obviously quite surprised.

Originally, she thought that Shengzai was just going to the crew to travel, but she didn't expect that he could really get "remuneration" in the end.

Especially when Yuko heard Mrs. Arima say that Shengzai was highly valued by Director Oikawa, Yuko looked at Shengzai's tender face and marveled.

Yuko didn't take the 30,000 yen Shengzai earned. On the one hand, this money was a drop in the bucket for them now.

On the other hand, Yuko also felt that if she really relied on a child of a few years old to make money to maintain her livelihood, then as an adult, she would be too humiliated.

So at Yuko's suggestion, Shengzai's 30,000 remuneration was finally taken out by her to play for a day with Shengzai, and on the day of the movie premiere, they also specifically ran to the cinema to watch this movie.

It was the first movie Shengzai filmed, although it was just a dragon set, Yuko thought it was extraordinary, so she had to support it.

And because she was busy with work that day and couldn't follow to the filming scene, Yuko always felt sorry for this.

Even if she missed the filming scene, the premiere naturally could not be missed.

At the same time, she was also curious about how excellent Shengzai's performance in the movie was, so that he could get the director's appreciation.

The movie "Protect You From Now On" is a movie adapted from an anime. Because the budget is not much, there are not many people coming to watch the movie.

When Yuko brought Shengzai into the cinema, she could almost only see a few couples, and a dead house fan of the original anime.

As for those who brought children like her, there was almost one on the scene, because this movie belongs to the romance type and is not suitable for children to watch at all.
