Chapter 58 Pressure
58 Pressure
Chuchu was jumping around on the way home. First, it was because she had gotten a very good ranking in today’s performance. Second, it was because she was about to become a celebrity!
“Do you know what a celebrity is?” Qu Zhi looked at her daughter’s flushed face. “You’ll be under a lot of pressure.”
Real actors sometimes had a hard time. They had to maintain their image at all times. Although the internet wasn’t developed yet, their fans were sometimes very exaggerated. If it was serious, there would be a lot of inconveniences in their life offstage.
Chuchu blinked her eyes and nodded. “I know. I’m going to sign autographs for my fans. I’ll sign autographs for whoever performs well.”
She had seen celebrities on TV asking for autographs. Everyone wanted it and sometimes even fought for it.
When Liang Wen heard this, he laughed so hard that tears came out.
“Our Chuchu already looks like a big star.” He picked up Chuchu and turned her around, making her giggle.
“Then let’s memorize your lines and strive to become big stars.” Qu Zhi tried her best to hold back her laughter. Zhang Feng had given her a thick script, but she had not read it yet. She did not know how much she had to memorize.
However, Chuchu’s memory was pretty good, so she would definitely have no problem memorizing. It all depended on whether she was willing to go through this hardship.
At night, Qu Zhi flipped through Chuchu’s script. Zhang Feng was obviously well-prepared to come to the party to poach her. He had even marked out the lines of the small-time actors with a marker.
Chuchu’s role was a young lady from a rich family during the republic of china. She was acting in the scene when the female lead was young. She didn’t have many lines, but she had a lot of acting parts.
There was a plot where she had to play a piece of the piano to show the female lead had received a lot of high-quality education when she was young.
Liang Wen also leaned over to take a look. After reading that paragraph, he smacked his lips. “Isn’t this like our Chuchu? There’s no need to act.” Zhang Feng, this director, was really something. He was so good at picking people.
That seemed to be the case, but Qu Zhi felt it was not enough. It was such a rare opportunity, so how could she just put on a show? That would be meaningless. If she wanted to do it, she had to do it to the best of her ability.
After reading the script, she rehearsed it in her mind. The female lead in the script was born into a famous family, so she had a melancholic and noble temperament. Later, she became a writer. How could she be lively and active when she was young?
She should have been reserved and reserved since young.
She looked at Chuchu, tired from playing and sleeping, and felt it was hilarious. Even like this, she still wanted to act as herself?
Of course, they had to train!
In the following days, Chuchu would go to Qu Zhi’s side and recite her script the moment she returned home.
“Waa! Did you buy this piano for me?” Chuchu closed her eyes and started reciting the script as if she were reading a book.
She did memorize it quickly, but she didn’t look like an actor.
“Open your eyes.” Qu Zhi held back her laughter. “Why aren’t you happy at all about being given a piano? Let’s do it again.”
Chuchu thought about how she felt when she first got the piano, and her eyes instantly lit up. She really liked that piano back then! Of course, she was happy.
So she laughed naively, and after laughing for a long time, she couldn’t say a single word.
She opened her eyes and forgot her lines again.
“Say something,” Looking at Chuchu giggling foolishly, Qu Zhi laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. Sisi didn’t know what had happened and sat in the cradle, clapping her hands and giggling.
They rehearsed like this for a long time. Chuchu either forgot her lines, laughed too much, or had exaggerated expressions. Even when Liang Wen returned, Qu Zhi was still going through the script for her.
“Aiya, it’s not like she will rely on this profession to make a living in the future. You’ve spent so much time. Hurry up and sleep.” Initially, Qu Zhi dragged Liang Wen to watch Chuchu’s performance, but after sitting for a while, he started to complain and didn’t even finish listening to it.
He felt it was already good enough for Chuchu to memorize the lines. It was enough for the child to play around. Who would seriously let a child be an actor?
He didn’t expect that before Qu Zhi could say anything, Chuchu would be the first to step out and put her hands on her hips to educate him.
“Dad, you know that celebrities have a lot of pressure on them.”
Liang Wen was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter. He laughed so loud the entire building could hear him.
