Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 9 Give me face

There are two little old ladies in the entertainment industry, one filmed "Journey to the West" and the other is currently filming "Three Kingdoms".

Old Mrs. Cai smiled and said, "Little guy, do you know who Sun Shangxiang is?"

"Liu Bei's wife, Sun Quan's sister, and Liu Chan's adoptive mother. After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei to consolidate the Sun-Liu alliance." How could Liu Jing be afraid of an old lady?

"What else?" When the aunt saw Director Cai's surprise, her face lit up and she wanted her nephew to say more.

"Zhou Lang's clever plan brought peace to the world, but he lost his wife and his soldiers. This wife refers to Sun Shangxiang." Liu Jing saw through his aunt's thoughts and continued to explain, "Sister Li is a dancer and has lived in Wu and Chu for a long time. She has a graceful figure and a heroic face. She is indeed very suitable to play Sun Shangxiang. You have a good eye."

Old Mrs. Cai was completely stunned. The words just now were most likely said by an adult in the family, but these two sentences were not.

"What's your name?" Director Cai asked.

"Director Cai, his name is Liu Jing. I don't have such luck. He is my sister's adopted son. He is three years old this year and very smart. He can draw inferences from one thing and understand things at a glance." My aunt hurriedly introduced.

"Aunt, you don't have to talk about adopted son every time." Liu Jing looked gloomy. If it was a normal three-year-old child, he would have been left with psychological trauma long ago.

"This kid..." Director Cai was surprised. This kid is so weird. He understands everything without any pointers.

"Auntie was wrong. I apologize to you." The auntie kissed the little boy's face and said, "Mu Tou, you are my biological son from now on."

"Liu Jing, do you want to act? I have a role here that's quite suitable for you." Director Cai smiled kindly. To a three-year-old child, she was not a director but an old grandmother.

"Mu Tou, I agree for you." Aunt responded quickly.

"No hurry, no hurry." Director Cai waved his hand and asked Liu Jing, "Guess which role grandma is talking about?"

Liu Jing pondered for a moment, "The childhood of Emperor Liu Chan."

“Hahahaha…” Director Cai laughed, startling the girls who were in training and they all looked over.

"My son has read the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Aunt Liu was very proud. She had not even read it, and her face was beaming at this moment.

"You haven't finished reading it yet." Liu Jing reminded.

"Okay, okay, okay." Director Cai stopped laughing and said seriously, "Comrade Liu Xiaoli, the crew will send a letter to your unit. Go back and prepare first, and come here for training in a while. Sun Shangxiang is good at archery and horse riding. In addition to etiquette training, there is also equestrian training."

“Okay!” Aunt Liu took a deep breath. She also had a dream of becoming an actress, but unfortunately it was erased by the years.

By some strange coincidence, she accompanied her adopted son to broaden his horizons and ended up getting a role herself.

Director Cai was more and more satisfied as he looked at her. The woman in front of him had bright eyes, a full face, a slender and high nose bridge, and a heroic look. She had an outstanding temperament and a kind of classical beauty.

Isn’t this the Sun Shangxiang in my mind?
She knows all too well the difficulty and sadness involved in casting for Three Kingdoms.

There are six directors in this play. When selecting the seven main characters, if any director says no, the role will not be accepted.

Although Sun Shangxiang does not have many scenes, she is an important character.

This time I finally met someone I like, and I can’t let him/her slip away.

She was worried that they would never come back, so she invited them, "Just after the Chinese New Year, I gathered these actresses to review their lessons. Don't leave at noon, improve your life today, the master's skills are still good. Watch everyone's performances in the afternoon, and then we can have a good chat, talk about Sun Shangxiang, and talk about our work."

"What about me?" Liu Jing asked.

This question really stumped Director Cai. She was stunned for a moment, "You...you can also watch."

"No need for that. Please arrange someone to take me to the filming location." Liu Jing was held in his aunt's arms, just at eye level with Director Cai.

Facing Liu Jing's indifferent gaze, Director Cai was not stunned this time, but rather stunned.

If an adult said this, Director Cai would be furious. This is my crew, how dare you say this.

But this is a three-year-old child, and he used the respectful title "you elder", so she couldn't get angry.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and shook her head and sighed, "Okay, okay, all up to you." Liu Jing's efforts were not in vain. He stayed in the crew for three days and finally understood what filming was and how it was done.

In addition, he also gained more than 3,000 points of entertainment energy, and was only a few hundred points away from upgrading the system.

Aunt Liu's vacation was coming to an end, and he had to leave with her.

The child had no choice; in the end the adults had the final say, and he had no reason to stay in the crew.

Aunt Liu followed Director Cai for three days and made up her mind to play the role of Sun Shangxiang.

As for the reaction of her parents-in-law, she did think about it, but she didn't expect it to be so intense.

Teacher An didn't say anything. In his eyes, dancers and film and television actors are all actors, and it's just a profession.

One side has a firm attitude, the other side has an even firmer attitude. Teacher An, who is caught in the middle, is visibly uncomfortable.

However, in just half a month, Teacher An has become much more mature.

Classmate Xixi didn’t know what had happened and went to kindergarten happily every day.

Ever since Liu Jing was expelled from kindergarten, her classmates no longer dared to bully her.

Everyone knows that An Feng has a younger brother who is good at fighting but never bullies others.

The crew of "Three Kingdoms" is very efficient, and Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater has already approved it.

What followed was a complete outbreak of conflict.

After a quarrel, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

They chose the right time, just after Xixi went to school. Liu Jing was expelled from kindergarten, so naturally there was no way to hide.

Everyone was arguing fiercely, but he seemed not to notice. He definitely didn't feel sleepy while reading at that time.

He had already finished reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but instead of reading other classics, he begged Teacher An to buy him a copy of Lüshi Chunqiu.

It’s not that the second-generation rich didn’t have the chance to watch it during his lifetime, but that he simply didn’t watch it. He is watching it on behalf of the second-generation rich.

Teacher An rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very troubled. Balancing the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is more difficult than translating "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

After both sides argued for so long, he finally realized that they both needed to back down.

Teacher An tried to provide a buffer zone for both sides several times, but... no one paid any attention to him.

When he was at a loss of what to do, he suddenly saw Liu Jing, who was oblivious to the people around him.

"Liu Jing's 'Lüshi Chunqiu' takes Taoism as its main body, and uses Confucianism, Mohism, Nominalism, Legalism, Agriculture and Soldiers, and Yin-Yang School as its material, melting the theories of various schools of thought into one. The content is obscure, and a single word is worth a thousand gold. Can you understand it?" asked Teacher An.

"I don't quite understand." Liu Jing responded honestly, looking up. Why are they no longer arguing? Are they all tired? Should I go get some tea and water?

"If you don't understand, then what are you looking at?" The old lady was not in a good mood.

"I didn't understand it, so I went to watch it." Liu Jing was not happy.

Teacher An quickly tried to make amends, "Haha, Mom, look, Liu Jing, a three-year-old, understands this. Xiaoli wants to try because she doesn't understand the film and television industry. When she understands, it will be the same thing. There's nothing wrong with this, so why are you so angry? At her age, she can really become a big star."

The old lady's expression softened a little. "You only speak for your wife. We don't need her to be in the spotlight in the An family. The neighbors on the street are gossiping and pointing fingers. Who knows what will come out in the future."

"Mom, don't worry." Teacher An breathed a sigh of relief and finally gave me a chance to speak.

He was just feeling lucky and organizing his words to continue talking when he heard Liu Jing speak first, "Grandpa and grandma, please give me some face. I agreed on behalf of Sister Li to play Sun Shangxiang. If you want to be angry, wait until she finishes the performance before scolding her. I know you are worried about her work style, and I am here to watch her. I will definitely not leave her side. She has no chance."
