Lucky to be selected (based on the actual book)
After the first part of Happy Planet was broadcast, I fell in love with Happy Planet like many primary school students and hummed the theme song of Happy Planet all day.
Once, I heard that Li Rui's family signed books in a bookstore, so I quickly asked my father to take me there. Oh, my God. When I arrived at the bookstore, I saw a sea of fans. I can only be surrounded by crowds from a distance by Li See Rui and them. What made me most happy that day was that the little actors of the second film were being recruited at the signing site, and they could sign up for the audition on the spot. Of course I want to try. Dad agreed to try it with me, because I like Happy Planet so much.
There were too many people auditioning, so I chose a topic "Finding a key to open the door in the dark". I haven't studied acting before, so I want to follow life. What would I do if I encountered such a situation in my life? I thought about it, practiced a little, and went up to perform.
After I got home, I waited for the phone call every day. I really want to be chosen, but I don't care in front of my parents. A month later, I heard that the first shortlist had been announced, and some children who received the notice would go to Zhengzhou TV station for a second interview. So at the weekend, my father took me to Zhengzhou TV station to inquire. When I got there, my father asked the staff, "Is there Liu Siwen's name on the second interview list?"
The staff checked it again and said "no". I don't believe it. I'll have the staff check it again. The staff checked it again, but it still didn't work. My tears welled up at once.
Dad knew that this incident hit me hard, so he quickly comforted me and said, "It doesn't mean you can't. Maybe they have no foresight. "
What my father said made me feel much better, but I was still a little unconvinced.
The next day, my mother got a call and told me to attend the second interview. I was so happy that I said to my parents, "Look, I knew there would be me, and I was very confident."
With the first experience, I was much more relaxed during the second interview.
After I went home this time, I was in no hurry to wait for the call. But after many days, there is still no news at all, and I am a little anxious. My father called me to ask, and the staff who answered the phone said that there might be no me.
At that time, I had long hair, but my parents thought it was a waste of time to cover my eyes and comb my hair like this, so they said to me, "Since Happy Planet was not selected, I'll cut my hair and study hard." I am particularly reluctant to part with my long hair, but I can't say any reason to object. I can only watch the barber cut off my beloved long hair. I managed to stay for so long that he cut it as soon as he cut it.
The day after I cut my hair, the phone rang again and asked me if I was an extra and wanted to join. Because, this time, more than 100 finalists were selected, among which, except a few who can play the leading role, all others should be extras.
Father said firmly, "Go!" "
In this way, my father took me to the film and television shooting base of Happy Planet and signed a letter of commitment to ensure that even if I am an extra actor, I will not go back on my word.
After staying at the base, I participated in a lot of performance training and simulated shooting. I didn't expect luck to befall me. Director Zhang chose me to play the role of "Ai Xue".
Dressed in Ai Xue's shining star ball suit and combed with "GeGeTou", I became an alien "Ai Xue" in the play.
