Chapter 7: The Unexpected
With timidity on her face, An Ning mustered up the courage to walk up to Wang Liuliu and reached out to shake her arm. Wang Liuliu was in a state of extreme anxiety because she forgot her words, and she didn't pay attention to An Ning's expression at all, just thinking that she had found another opportunity to add drama to herself. So without thinking about it, he subconsciously waved his arm.
An Ning took advantage of the situation to take a few steps back, looking like she was about to fall, which suddenly reminded people of the scene when the second sister almost pushed her mother to the ground just now. However, Wang Liuliu didn't use much force this time, and it was impossible to push people down, and at this time, seeing An Ning's aggrieved expression like a "white lotus", he was even more angry: "What are you pretending, am I using force?" ”
When she said this, she had completely withdrawn from the role of "second sister", but her tone and demeanor and even her lines all fit the scene at this time.
Wang Liuliu didn't notice this, but the others present were surprised and surprised. Especially Zhang Shanshan, who was playing against her, found that her lines could be picked up again.
"Enough, since you don't want to stay in this house yourself, then hurry up and let me go, you are not welcome." The eldest sister said in a cold voice with a calm face.
The mother played by Bai Jun couldn't restrain herself anymore when she saw her two daughters making trouble like this, and shouted: "It's me who is useless, and you have any grievances against me, all of them...... Stop arguing, don't be noisy......" while squatting down weakly and buried his head deep in his hands.
This is where the scene ends. The two daughters, who were arguing endlessly, saw their mother's painful appearance, and suddenly recalled the years when they lived under their mother's protection, and they were speechless for a while.
The two of them called "Mom" uneasily, and the play ended in silence.
But what no one expected was that Wang Liuliu and Zhang Shanshan's "mother" had not yet been called, but the focus of this play unconsciously shifted to Xiaomei.
Zheng Wei's body, which was originally hanging on the back of the chair, slowly straightened up, and he watched the girl named An Ning squatting down next to her "mother" in the field, with some confusion and sadness in her expression. She carefully stretched out a hand, wanting to pat her mother's back to comfort her, but when she saw her mother's twitching shoulders, she didn't do so.
An Ning slowly stood up, turned his head and glanced at his eldest sister and second sister, half helpless and half sad in his heart. Then he turned abruptly, walked out in a few steps, closed his door, leaned his back against the door, bowed his head and sobbed, and gradually cried louder and louder.
Although the performance venue was empty, everyone present seemed to see that there was a real wall separating Xiaomei from the other three, and she was crying to her heart's content in the little world that belonged to her.
With that suppressed cry, the emotions of grievance, anger and helplessness mixed in her heart spread to everyone present. Everyone began to think that maybe the most tired person in this family is not the mother, nor the eldest sister and the second sister, but the little sister who has always lived alone in her own world and has never been truly understood.
She was the least present in the family, and the most empathetic, and she endured everything her mother and two sisters gave her alone without complaint. She loved her family deeply, but she couldn't help hating them......
It wasn't until An Ning's crying voice became smaller that Wang Liuliu and Zhang Shanshan came back to their senses, quickly looked back at the "mother" who was still squatting on the ground, and said their lines.
——
"Our show is over." The four people were lined up, and it was still Bai Jun who spoke.
Wen Deyi's face was not very good-looking, and he was a little speechless for a while. He had the heart to stumble on An Ning, so he took out this difficult notebook. Let's not talk about An Ning's acting skills, this group drama has high requirements for the cooperation of the actors, as long as one person smashes the play, it will basically be ruined.
These girls are all in their early twenties and have little acting experience, so they are only given fifteen minutes to memorize their lines and prepare, coupled with the nervousness during the audition, ten of them are going to make mistakes. What's more, what he gave An Ning was a role that had the least room to play, which could almost be said to be a humanoid background board.
Who knows...... Someone forgot the words, but when An Ning intervened, this scene was inexplicably able to continue. The little sister, who was originally the most nonexistent, actually became the most three-dimensional and delicate character in this scene.
He glared at Wei Baishu fiercely, who said that Meng Anning's acting skills were not worth mentioning? He has been an assistant director for so many years, and there are really few actors who can play such an actor in a short scene.
"You guys, who do you think is the best in this scene?" Wen Deyi was still scolding Wei Baishu in his stomach, but he heard Zheng Wei, who had been sitting in the corner, open his mouth.
Wang Liuliu and Zhang Shanshan glanced at each other, lowered their heads and did not speak. An Ning glanced at Zheng Wei with a smile in her eyes, but did not speak. Bai Jun thought about it for a while and said, "If there is no little sister, I am afraid this play will not be finished." ”
Zheng Wei hooked the corners of his mouth, as if smiling.
Wen Deyi stood up and asked, "Director Zheng, look?" These seedlings are not bad, but we only have one character left empty. ”
Zheng Wei stretched out his hand and lifted the brim of his hat, revealing a pair of extremely attentive eyes, and pointed at Bai Jun: "Just her." The remaining role, let's decide her. ”
Bai Jun was taken aback, from the moment Zheng Wei opened his mouth and Wen Deyi did not stop her, she knew that this person was not simple, but she never thought that this person was actually the official director of "Locked Palace", Zheng Wei.
I didn't expect that I would be selected.
She is a senior student of Beiying University, although she also boasts of being an acting school on weekdays, but when she met An Ning today, she knew what "there are people outside the sky", and her acting skills are simply a primary school student who follows the script.
She thinks that as long as she has eyes, everyone can see that this Meng Anning's acting skills are not at the same level as the other three at all, I really don't know why Director Zheng didn't choose Meng Anning but chose himself.
Could it be that he was sleeping just now and didn't see the whole process? Bai Jun thought about it, and finally glanced at An Ning with guilt.
This glance happened to be seen by An Ning, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a solid-eyed child!
To be honest, this unexpected decision actually did not hit the peace at all. As early as when she walked into this room and saw Zheng Wei sitting in the corner, the goal of her trip was no longer the trick in "Lock the Palace" that would die if she said just two words.
