After Rebirth, the Buddha-like Star Is a Medical Expert - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 You You Gets to Act

“Yeah, what do we do now?” The executive director was also frustrated. This little actress was an important character for their upcoming shoot. There were a lot of scenes, and they were crucial to the film.

It could be said that their current filming location was chosen mainly for shooting with the young actress.

In order not to interrupt the young actress’s school schedule, the production team had specially scheduled her scenes during the winter break.

“Go and ask who else can find us a young actress as soon as possible.” Ning Yi took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to the executive director. After lighting a cigarette for himself, he squatted down and started smoking.

He rarely smoked. He would be tempted to smoke one or two only when he was feeling stressed .

The executive director didn’t have time to smoke. He placed the cigarette on his ear and went to find suitable candidates to replace the young actress. Ning Youguang had two large oranges in her hands. They were from the villager. She was intending to give one to her father.

When she came over, she saw her father smoking with a gloomy expression.

“What happened?”

She did not give the orange to her father directly. Instead, she carefully peeled it before handing it over to him.

“Just a little problem. It’s already being resolved.” Ning Yi dropped the cigarette he’d finished and took the orange from his daughter. “This is so sweet.”

‘What trouble? Can I do anything to help?’

Ning Yi instinctively wanted to say that there was nothing she could do, but Mr. Cat came over and interrupted their conversation.

“Yes you can.”

“What can she do?”

“Little actress. Eight years old. Isn’t she a ready solution to the problem?”.

Mr. Cat had come over right after hearing from the executive director that the young actress wouldn’t be able to come tomorrow.

Ning Yi froze.

Letting his daughter act was something that had never crossed his mind.

After a long moment, he frowned and said, “Our baby isn’t an actress.”

“Which of the young actresses are professional actors? They all sharpened their acting skills through experience. Your daughter is so smart. I think she can do it.”

“The young actor who played Xue Fei can’t come?” Youguang heard this and understood her father’s distress.

“Her mother says she’s sick,” Mr. Cat explained. “But we’re all here now to film her scenes.”

“You want me to play Xue Fei?” asked Youguang, giving half of her orange to Mr. Cat.

“Are you willing? If you don’t act, we’ll suffer heavy losses.” Mr. Cat took half the orange and looked at Ning Youguang with a troubled expression.

“Don’t start acting miserable in front of me.”

“Do we still need to do that? We are really in trouble now.”

Ning Yi ate his orange in silence.

He was very conflicted now. He knew that Mr. Cat’s suggestion was feasible, and he also knew that if his daughter could act, she would definitely be able to solve the crew’s dilemma immediately.

However, he did not want to force his daughter. Even if she only had a wee bit of unwillingness.

In the desperate future, the world was like a massive ruin. Everywhere that one could lay eyes on, was desolate and gray. Human civilization had been destroyed in the calamity.

In a situation where resources were extremely scarce, there was nothing that survivors would not do. Terrible scenes of cannibalism happened from time to time. The entire world had become hell.

Zhou Yi, the computer engineer, had just taken his daughter from such a world, and sent her back to eight years ago when the world had just ended.

The destruction of the entire city was close at hand. Zhou Yi knew that he and his daughter would die, and that many people would die, but he still hoped to find a warm hiding place for humanity before he died.

Youguang played the part of his daughter, Xue Fei. There were not many scenes in the entire movie, but it adds a finishing touch to the story.

Xue Fei was a talented young girl. While Zhou Yi was trying to save mankind, she used her exceptional intelligence to assist her father.

This is the background for the movie Before Death and the characterization of Xue Fei.

When you choose to do something, you do it as best you can.

Since Ning Youguang planned to help her father get through this and act as Xue Fei, she quickly focused on studying the script. This was so that she could get into character as soon as possible and play out the role of Xue Fei as best as she could.

Knowing that the director was letting his daughter play Xue Fei, it was impossible for the crew not to have some concerns.

However, after seeing Youguang’s serious attitude, they temporarily buried their thoughts in their hearts.

Soon, it was time for the first scene between Youguang and the male lead.

The actor playing Zhou Yi was 34 years old. His surname was Yan and his name was Jidao.

In his previous life, Yan Jidao relied on the role of Zhou Yi to become the Best Actor and had instantly become famous in the entertainment industry. Later on, the scripts he accepted were all big productions by famous directors. He was chauffeured around in luxury cars and was often surrounded by countless bodyguards, assistants, photographers, and lighting technicians. It was very difficult for ordinary people to see him in person.

In this life, he was still a nameless actor who had acted in a number of minor and unknown roles in various productions.

Even if he encountered a new director like Ning Yi and was paid very little, he felt that he was lucky to be the male lead in Before Death. He was especially grateful to Ning Yi.

Ever since the role was decided, he had been single-mindedly focused on doing his best for the movie.

In addition, he was particularly attentive to the filming and production of this film.

He had memorized the script long before he joined the crew.

After entering the production team, when there were no scenes for him, he basically stayed by the side to watch the filming or observe the others’ acting. He was a very serious, responsible, and attentive actor.

Yan Jidao undoubtedly had a talent for acting. His temperament when he stood in front of the camera was completely different from who he really was. He was taciturn in life, reserved and not good at socializing. But when he was in front of the camera, he became a dazzling character and his entire body language was captivating.

His appearance was not outstanding and he was not professionally trained. He had entered the industry purely based on interest. His acting skills were not exactly polished but he often brought novelty and pressure to the people he worked with.

Those who did not have good acting skills did not really want to act against a character like Zhou Yi because his scenes were not easy.

The director’s daughter had to face Yan Qidao in her first scene. To be honest, everyone was quite worried for Youguang.

However, after Yan Jidao tried out a few scenes with Little You You in private, he was unexpectedly relaxed and even seemed a little eager.

His attitude confused the crew.

In winter, Guangxi was not cold. Today, the weather was also good. It was more than 20 degrees Celsius. It was dusk and the evening glow lit up the sky. In the distance, mountain peaks lined the horizon in undulating layers. It was a beautiful sight.

The little girl stood on the sandy slopes of the hill. She was wearing a white dress and carrying a green crocodile skin bag. She looked at the young man who was standing in the distance. He was wearing a backpack and was going to descend the slopes from where he was. Turning around, he exchanged glances with the girl and bid her farewell. Then at the same time, the two of them nodded at the director, Ning Yi.

Ning Yi took two steps back and sat back behind the monitor to adjust the camera. With a solemn expression, he gestured to the script supervisor. All the staff around him fell silent and the filming began.

“Three … two … one … action!”
