In July, Lin Xiaoling had a summer vacation.

Lin Zixuan took her to the column group of Huaguo TV's living space and found her a summer internship job.

Last time Lin Xiaoling proposed to make a film, Lin Zixuan felt that he still had to study hard in school, but he could participate in social practice during the winter and summer vacations, so he agreed to his sister's request.

Although the living space column has not been established for a long time, it is a program of Huaguo TV after all, and it is very formal.

Lin Xiaoling is just an intern, not an employee of Huaguo TV.

This column is mainly about interviewing the daily life of ordinary families in China, hoping to record the stories of these ordinary people and show the ongoing changes in Chinese society.

Of course, you can't just go to a house and shoot it, at least you have to get the family's permission.

Moreover, as a choreographer, you have to find out what is extraordinary about the family, that is to say, the shining point, and an ordinary person will occasionally make extraordinary moves.

There is a good saying that life is not without beauty, but the lack of eyes to find beauty.

For example, a person with a low salary will donate money to students in poor mountainous areas every month, and an ordinary village postman insists on delivering letters, rain or shine, and so on.

After all, this is a TV show, and it will not really broadcast the daily life of ordinary people, there must always be something that can capture the audience.

If you can't find the shining point, the column team will not approve your shooting request, and there are so many resources that you can't waste.

Lin Xiaoling doesn't need to call to communicate with each household and ask for the consent of others, and someone has already done the preliminary work.

She only needs to choose a family from those families who are willing to be interviewed, come to the door to understand the situation, find the place where the family is worth interviewing, and write a shooting plan and submit it to the column team.

After review, the column team felt that this idea was good, so they would allocate resources to Lin Xiaoling and let her go to shoot.

There are several groups of people in the living space column group, and their daily work is to constantly interview, write reports, and shoot films.

This is the daily work of the choreographer, very boring, not as passionate as imagined, sometimes the report written is constantly rejected by the superiors, and finally I begin to doubt my life.

Lin Xiaoling has just entered the industry, and she is still excited, and she feels that her opportunity to show her skills has come.

She chose a family of four, a policeman husband, a worker, and a twelve-year-old twin sibling from a list of interviews, who should have been happy.

Besides, there must be a lot of stories in the police profession, and you will definitely find a shining point.

With this in mind, Xiaoling began her first independent choreography and directing work.

However, things did not go as smoothly as she thought, and after two days of interviews, she found that the family was indeed very ordinary, so ordinary that she really couldn't find the shining point.

Although the husband was a police officer, he was engaged in a civilian job, and he sat in the office without any danger.

The wife works in the factory, and there is really nothing to talk about except for the arrears of wages in the factory.

The couple would occasionally quarrel, but they soon reconciled, there was no zĂ i emotional crisis, the family did not experience any strong winds and waves, and it was very common.

This is actually the normal state of most people in China, just living an ordinary life every day.

Lin Xiaoling felt like a failure.

As a choreographer, it is necessary to dig deep into the details of life, and to magnify the details to show the audience, which she learned in film school, but she still hasn't dug it out.

"Brother, am I not suitable for this industry?" Lin Xiaoling was skeptical.

In the past, the filming of the capital was very windy, which was carried out under the guidance of Lin Zixuan, and later it was a collective creation of film school students, although she also contributed, but it was only a small part.

Now that she's working on a project on her own, she's no longer able to do it.

Xiaoling finally realized that she was too inflated, thinking that she would be able to come out and swagger after a year of studying in the directing department.

"It's normal for a student like you who has just come out of school to fail, if this one doesn't work, replace the next one, do you still want to succeed once? Xiaoling, you have a problem with this attitude, you are too impatient. Lin Zixuan said.

At this time, he was preparing to move, and the courtyard house in Shichahai was repaired and vacant for half a month, and it was already able to live in.

There is an old rule in the capital, when you move to a new house, you must invite relatives and friends to come over for a small gathering to congratulate the housewarming, which is also called a warm house.

He wasn't going to make too much of a fuss, just invite a few acquaintances, drink and chat, and relax.

Lin Xiaoling thought about it, and felt that she was too eager to do it.

"What if the next one doesn't work?" Lin Xiaoling begged, "Brother, do you have any experience to teach?" ”

"If you want to succeed, you have to be careful, talk to everyone in that family, don't let go of any details, and don't just pay attention to the surface, but also dig into their hearts." Lin Zixuan pointed.

He actually thought of the game, in the novice village, if you want to find the clues of the task, you have to keep chatting with the characters in the village.

Although the method is a bit stupid, it is very effective, and there may be unexpected gains.

Lin Xiaoling decided to make a return visit to that family, and if she couldn't find a shining point this time, she would choose the next family.

She came to the policeman's house, the policeman was not at home, his wife went out to buy groceries, and there were only two twelve-year-old twins left in the house, the boy was watching TV and the girl was doing her homework.

Lin Xiaoling came two days ago, and the children were no strangers to her, so they opened the door and let her in.

Xiaoling felt that she had nothing to do anyway, so she chatted with the girl, she only talked to the girl's parents last time.

"I don't want to be a sister anymore." Chatting and chatting, the girl whispered to Lin Xiaoling.

Lin Xiaoling has learned about the situation of this family, the twins are quite interesting, twelve years ago, when the twins were about to be born, the mother had to have a caesarean section.

The doctor asked if the boy or the girl would be removed first.

As a result, the family discussed it and felt that the girl was more sensible and could take care of the boy, so they decided to take out the girl first, so the girl became the elder sister and the boy became the younger brother.

In fact, the difference between the two births is only a few minutes.

But it was these few minutes that gave the girl the status of an older sister, and she needed to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother.

If it is the boy who comes out first, then the boy is the elder brother, and he is obliged to take care of the younger sister who was born later.

This arrangement of roles was not decided by the boys and girls, but by their families twelve years ago at a family meeting, and they passively accepted the identity.

Twelve years later, the older sister doesn't want to be a sister anymore, she also wants to be taken care of, not just someone else. To be continued.
