Chapter 242…
The sea water was very cold in the early morning. Xu Weiwei shivered as soon as she stepped in. Jiang Linlin noticed it and rubbed her arms worriedly, hoping that she could warm up.
Xu Weiwei looked up and comforted Jiang Linlin warmly: "It's okay, aunt, I was just a little shocked when I first stepped in, but now I'm used to it and it's not that cold."
Jiang Linlin was also inside, so how could she not know whether it was cold or not? But she could only force a smile and encourage him, "Come on! Let's try to take it down in five minutes! Then we can go upstairs and have some tea."
"Ok!"
The water gradually spread to Xu Weiwei's waist, but it was not over yet, she had to immerse herself in the water first. Merulu was ostracized by her friends and had no place to sleep, so she could only come to this deserted shallow beach and treat it as her secret base.
The director also personally came to explain the scene to Xu Weiwei, explaining in detail how she should move.
"The camera will shoot from behind you. Just sit in this position with your head and shoulders exposed and sleep on this reef as your pillow." The director said as he demonstrated.
"When Linlin comes over, there will be a sound of water, but we should ignore the sound and turn around. Start when I shout 'action' and count to tens, and then you can turn around."
Jiang Linlin added, "After the filming starts, I will come over from that side. Ten is just enough time for me to reach this place, and then you will be awakened by me."
Xu nodded slightly.
导演却有些不放心,“你认识数吗?1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10……”
Xu Weiwei and Jiang Linlin looked at the director in surprise at the same time.
Jiang Linlin said speechlessly, "Are you serious, Director? Wei'er has been receiving early childhood education since she was two or three years old, and she just passed the entrance test for Chenxi Primary School. Are you asking her if she knows how to count?"
The director twisted his clothes awkwardly, "Haha, I forgot, sorry..."
After two dry laughs, the director's expression turned serious again. Just knowing how to count is not enough. Children tend to count faster when they are nervous. This way, before the other actor reaches the spot, he thinks it's time to turn around. Just because of this problem, the little mermaid actor had no idea how many NGs he had.
"You count. I'll listen to the rhythm of your counting. Be careful not to count faster and faster. Let's follow an even rhythm." After the director said this, he turned on the timer and prepared a ten-second countdown.
Xu Weiwei stared at the lake calmly. After hearing the director shout "Start", she said in a calm tone: "1001, 1002, 1003, 1004..."
The director widened his eyes in surprise, then quickly lowered his head to stare at the constantly jumping numbers on the timer. He found that Xu Weiwei's timing method was exactly the same as the numbers on the timer!
After ten counts, as Xu Weiwei finished speaking, the second hand of the timer also reached the end.
The director raised his hands to hold his head in astonishment, and said in a stammering voice: "How did you come up with this method?! It's so wonderful! Are you really a genius, baby?!"
Xu was silent. This CPR countdown method was just a basic operation for medical students. Many ordinary people knew this. Why was the director so excited as if she had discovered Newton's fourth law?
Jiang Linlin did know a little about this, but not much, and she interrupted excitedly, "I know! This is what you shout when you need to save someone, right?"
Xu nodded in agreement and added, "Aunt is right. This is a method of counting seconds to observe the heartbeat and breathing during CPR, and to master the rhythm of heart compression."
Hearing Xu Weiwei's professional explanation, Jiang Linlin exclaimed in admiration: "Weier knows so much." Her dear niece really made her proud!
"I like to read medical books when I have nothing to do." Xu Weiwei's words revealed a kind of indifference and humility.
Jiang Linlin seemed to have triggered a switch. She lost her excitement instantly and her eyes became complicated. She remembered what her elder sister-in-law said last night. Looking at her pitiful and lovely niece in front of her, it was hard to imagine that she would have such a... such a shocking side.
The director was still immersed in admiration and sighed: "As expected of a child raised by a noble family, he is different! My child is two years older than you, and he only knows 'Peter Pan' and 'superheroes' all day long."
"Okay, let's get down to business," the director said seriously.
"After turning around and seeing a stranger, your first reaction is fear. You should quickly stand up and take two steps back to this position... Then, start to observe the other person's appearance and emotions carefully, and make some guesses in your mind. Next..."
The dazzling golden light shone into the director's eyes, causing him to close his eyes reflexively.
It turned out that the sun had risen again without them noticing, and the golden light spread to the lake where they were and to the location captured by the camera.
The director realized that the time had come, and he didn't dare to be long-winded. He spoke faster and said, "The following is what we just talked about in the studio. Do you remember it? It's up to you to perform next. Remember the points and angles, don't be nervous, and come on!"
After quickly giving the instructions, the director hurriedly withdrew from the filming area.
Xu Weiwei took a deep breath, immersed herself in the water, and leaned against the hard rocks.
"Attention, all departments! All equipment in place! Camera ready! Forty-four scenes, one take at a time, action!"
Xu Weiwei counted silently in her heart. She heard the sound of water waves stirring behind her. Xu Weiwei remained unmoved. At the same time, she recalled where she should be in her mind...
"Mom, I'm so nervous." On the shore, Kane held Mrs. Seaforth's hand and looked at his sister not far away with worried eyes.
Mrs. Seaforth shook her hand back vigorously and consoled her, "We must have confidence in our sister and believe that she has the ability to do this well. She did a great job just now, didn't she?"
Kane nodded seriously: "Yeah."
"But what if my sister is also nervous? She has never been used to this kind of environment since she was a child."
"This……"
McQueen listened and spoke arrogantly: "It's normal to be nervous. If one take is not good, just take more shots. I don't know who dares to say anything. What's the name of that supporting role who was paid to be inserted? He took more than 30 takes for one scene to pass! I can't stand watching his awkward acting. He still has the audacity to work in the entertainment industry. What is our Wei'er afraid of?"
The staff members nearby were sweating profusely, thinking: This big devil really dares to say anything! He is not a backstabber at all, and he really has to be strong-willed and have the confidence to say anything...
