Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Chapter 58 Woman is just a gender, not a profession

This……

too frightening.

How could such a small child unleash such immense power?

The director rubbed his eyes.

Like.

They look so alike!

Despite having a small and cute face, her demeanor and bearing were exceptionally noble.

just like……

Just like a real princess!

The director shouted excitedly.

"She's the one!"

"She's the perfect actress to play this princess."

According to the script, the little girl should be around four or five years old.

However, he found many child actors, but none of them could accurately portray the princess's temperament.

Forget acting, even normal communication is difficult.

Many children agreed to do well, but when it came time to rehearse, they just froze like idiots.

She burst into tears after being told something was slightly wrong.

This is still considered good.

Many of the child actors are completely out of control; they either improvise or jump around like they have ADHD.

On a friend's recommendation, he contacted a very famous child star in the industry, who was good-looking and had good acting skills.

But the problem is...

The other person is a man!

He only had two choices.

Alternatively, the age limit could be relaxed, and older child stars could be selected.

Alternatively, they could have young actors dressed as women.

Relaxing the age limit means that the young male lead also needs to be replaced; he must be replaced with someone of the same age.

Many things are created without our knowledge.

The child actor's parents refused to let their child dress as a girl.

The situation suddenly became very tricky, and the director was scratching his head, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Just then, Lin Xiuzhi came to the film crew to provide guidance. She heard about this and took the initiative to find him.

In that instant, he felt that Lin Xiuzhi was radiating light.

Lin Xiuzhi is known in the industry for her dedication and seriousness.

He trusted Lin Xiuzhi's judgment.

But after seeing Shen Zhaoning, he hesitated again.

It's not that I don't trust Lin Xiuzhi, it's just that this little girl looks so cute.

She would be great at playing a lively, intelligent, kind, and beautiful young female lead.

Is it too much of a stretch for her to play a noble princess burdened with national and familial hatred?

Only now, after witnessing Shen Zhaoning's performance firsthand, did the director realize how blind he had been.

Lin Xiuzhi puffed out her chest proudly, as if she herself were the one playing the role, not Shen Zhaoning.

"Don't worry, Tuantuan is very capable."

"Every director who has worked with our Tuantuan speaks highly of her."

The director slapped his thigh.

"In that case, we should make her model cards and video introductions!"

"Isn't this better than just giving a vague introduction?"

It was only because he was a good person and willing to trust Lin Xiuzhi that he called Shen Zhaoning over.

If it were a different director, they wouldn't have given me this opportunity.

Lin Xiuzhi seemed to be deep in thought.

"If that's the case, then you should get one for the child, but I don't know how."

The director was amused.

"That's easy! As long as you act this scene well, I'll film it myself!"

This director is very well-known in the industry, with consistently high-quality works, especially his exceptional cinematography.

Being able to act in this director's work is already a great opportunity.

It would be an immense honor to have him personally film an introductory video.

If Shen Zhaoning does pursue an acting career in the future, this experience will become a topic of conversation when it is brought to light.

Lin Xiuzhi pulled Shen Zhaoning to a corner and led her to seriously study the script.

"Tuantuan, you must do your best in this play."

"If I can perform well in this scene, I won't have to worry about not having any roles to play in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoning took the scene even more seriously, even muttering her lines while getting her makeup done.

This role is unlike any she has played before.

Not only are there many lines, but there are also many close-ups of faces.

The makeup artist couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shen Zhaoning sitting on the stool with her little feet dangling in the air and a serious expression on her face.

"How old is the child? Is this their first time acting?"

Seeing that the people around her were talking and some were resting, Shen Zhaoning lowered her voice.

"I'm four and a half years old this year, and I'll be five soon!"

"This isn't my first play, but it's my first time playing a princess."

Although Shen Zhaoning lowered her voice, the makeup artist could still hear the excitement in her tone.

While Shen Zhaoning looked up, she started applying eye makeup to Shen Zhaoning.

"You really enjoy playing princesses?"

Shen Zhaoning looked at the makeup artist's face, which was so close to hers, and couldn't help but blink.

"like……"

Although being a princess is tough and involves learning many rules, it also means you won't be bullied.

When she first entered the palace, she was often bullied by the Twenty-Second Princess.

"Don't blink, just hang in there, it'll be over soon."

The makeup artist gently coaxed Shen Zhaoning and quickly finished her eye makeup.

"it's beautiful……"

"Don't worry, as long as you perform well this time, you'll definitely have more opportunities to play a princess in the future."

"Who knows, maybe I'll have a chance to play an empress when I grow up!"

Shen Zhaoning stared blankly at the makeup artist.

"The...Empress?"

Can a woman be an emperor?

The makeup artist was amused by Shen Zhaoning.

"Of course, being emperor is just a position; if a man can do it, why can't a woman?"

As the makeup artist spoke, she began to explain the history of the empress to Shen Zhaoning.

Shen Zhaoning became increasingly astonished as she listened.

"She's amazing..."

The makeup artist pinched Shen Zhaoning's little nose.

"Although it's not a feudal dynasty now and there's no emperor anymore, you can still study hard and become a provincial governor or mayor in the future."

"In short, being a woman is just our gender and it doesn't determine our profession. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can do any job."

The brief conversation deeply shocked Shen Zhaoning.

My aunt clearly said that women should remember the rules and learn to manage the household, be good wives and mothers.

Having any other thoughts besides learning the rules and etiquette is against the rules and is a breach of manners and status.

But the makeup artist said that women can do any job.

How strange...

What the makeup artist said—was it a rule of this world, or a principle applicable to any world?

Shen Zhaoning couldn't figure it out, so she simply focused all her energy on memorizing her lines.

Since Shen Zhaoning came to save the day, she didn't have much time.

The director didn't force Shen Zhaoning to memorize all her lines.

"Just focus on your expressions and demeanor; the lines don't matter."

"If you can remember it, just say it; if you can't, just mouth the numbers and say whatever comes to mind. You can add the voice-over later."

Shen Zhaoning suddenly realized why the young actor she had been acting with earlier had suddenly started saying numbers.

Oh, it turns out he hadn't memorized his lines!

Although Shen Zhaoning seemed reliable, everyone was prepared for numerous takes, since the young actor in front of them was just a child.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Zhaoning passed it in one take!

And she even memorized all the lines!

His eyes and expressions were spot-on; it was as if he had really experienced all of this!
