I Am That Little Fox [Quick Transmigration] Chapter 160: The Child Of The Film Emperor’s House (30)
The plan of secret observation soon failed, and Bai Xiaoxi took over the job again.
This time it was a costume TV series, which was completed last year and was in post-production and ready for release. As a result, the actress who played the male supporting role’s sister was exposed for interfering in other people’s marriages, which had a very bad impact. The crew temporarily cut her scenes and the assistant director found Zhao Ruxin.
Although she played a female role and had few scenes, the director was a famous director and his works had a very good reputation. This drama was also a historical drama. The trailer had been released. It was beautifully produced, with first-class costumes and props. The leading actors were all first-line actors, and there were also many veteran actors.
Bai Xiaoxi is a pure newcomer, and it can be said that she has picked up a great bargain to be able to appear in the same drama with them.
Bai Xiaoxi had been invited to film in a drama before, but it was either a web drama or a small-scale idol drama. Not only was Bai Xiaoxi not very interested, Zhao Ruxin also looked down on it.
Because Bai Xiaoxi’s official identity is Bai Yizhou’s junior sister, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are tied together. If Bai Xiaoxi always takes on low-quality work, it will definitely have an impact on Bai Yizhou.
Therefore, Zhao Ruxin attached more importance to those invitations than Bai Xiaoxi herself, but this time the opportunity was so rare that he came specially to the door.
After hearing this, Bai Yizhou nodded and said to Bai Xiaoxi, “Director Chen is good.”
Bai Xiaoxi was completely clueless about what was going on in the industry, and seeing that her master had nodded, she said, “In that case, Brother Zhao, please accept it for me.”
“Okay, I’ll contact them.” Zhao Ruxin said.
Bai Xiaoxi quickly took the final makeup photos, and after Director Chen saw them, he immediately agreed.
The crew chose her for reasons related to Bai Yizhou, of course, but more importantly, her image matched the character.
In the drama, the male supporting character’s sister only appears in the male supporting character’s memories from beginning to end, and appears again and again.
According to Director Chen, this role does not require any acting skills, as long as the actor is innocent and cute enough.
Because her death was the reason why the male supporting character turned evil. Only when she was beautiful enough and her death is tragic enough, can the audience understand and feel sorry for the male supporting character.
In short, she is just a tool to make the image of the male supporting role more complete.
Bai Xiaoxi was originally worried that she would be a drag, but she found out that there was no one to drag her down.
She just needed to play around in front of the camera, swinging on the swing, picking wild flowers, and weaving garlands. Her only scene with the male supporting character was with him, and she only had a few lines.
“Brother, these flowers are so beautiful.”
“Brother, let me make a wreath for you.”
“Brother…”
Only the final shot of her being shot by arrows and dying in the arms of the male supporting actor was a little difficult. Bai Xiaoxi died several times before the director was satisfied.
Because it was a reshoot, all the scenes were concentrated together and were completed very quickly.
Bai Xiaoxi was removing her makeup in the dressing room when she suddenly heard some commotion outside. Her assistant Xiao Su ran out to take a look and came back with an excited look on her face.
“Teacher Bai is here. He must be here to pick you up, Xiaoxi!”
Bai Xiaoxi was also a little surprised and packed up in a hurry. When she went out, Bai Yizhou was talking to Director Chen, and many staff members were secretly looking at him.
“Brother.” She ran over happily, “Why are you here?”
Before Bai Yizhou could say anything, Director Chen joked, “Why else? He’s probably afraid that our crew will eat his junior sister.”
Bai Xiaoxi said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Senior Brother, Director Chen takes good care of me.”
Director Chen waved his hands and said, “I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve it. You brother and sister can talk. I won’t join in the fun.”
With no one else around, Bai Xiaoxi changed the topic in a low voice: “Master came here specially to pick me up?”
