Chapter 3334 Rehearsal

Chapter 3334 Rehearsal

Xiao Bai stood in front of the small podium, holding the camera she had taken back from Dudu. She cleared her throat and said, "Attention everyone! The first rehearsal for the short drama 'Being a Sister Isn't Easy' is about to begin!"

Liuliu was the first to raise her hand: "Director! Where's my candy? I need props to get into character!"

Xiao Bai took out the bag of fruit candies from his pocket, waved it in front of Liu Liu, and instructed, "Remember the agreement, you can only use one during rehearsal."

"I know, I know!"

Liuliu eagerly took the candy packet, her eyes shining as she unwrapped it.

But she felt an even more intense gaze fixed on her, yet when she looked in that direction, she saw nothing.

Chengcheng took the script and walked over to Xiaobai, whispering, "The first scene is where Dudu is practicing with a doll, and we need two extras to play the crying children."

Xiao Bai immediately called out, "Xiao Youyou! Tian Xiaoya! You two go first."

Xiao Youyou and Tian Xiaoya stood up from their chairs, walked to the open space in the center of the classroom, and said in unison, "We're ready!"

Dudu was already there waiting, holding the rag doll that Robin had been carrying during his patrol earlier, and it was now being used as a "baby" prop.

"Start!" Xiaobai said, carrying the camera.

Following Chengcheng's script, Dudu first clumsily tried to "feed" the doll, but she couldn't seem to get the toy bottle to the doll's mouth. Sweating profusely, she muttered, "Baby, don't cry, sister will give you milk..."

As agreed beforehand, Xiao Youyou and Tian Xiaoya pretended to cry. However, as Xiao Youyou was acting, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and ruined her performance with a "pfft".

"Cut! Youyou, be serious!" Xiaobai put down the camera, her expression serious.

"I'm sorry!" Xiao Youyou apologized very quickly.

Liu Liu sat to the side watching, and took the opportunity to pop a piece of candy into her mouth, saying indistinctly, "Little Youyou, you can't do it. Let me cry. I can cry like the world is ending!"

Xiao Bai glared at her: "You're playing the villain, why are you crying! Sit up!"

The second take begins. This time, Xiao Youyou held back her laughter and, together with Tian Xiaoya, let out a realistic "woo-wah" cry.

Dudu became even more flustered amidst the "crying," and accidentally spilled "milk" on the doll's face while feeding it. She quickly tried to wipe it with her sleeve, but the more she wiped, the more chaotic it became.

Xiao Bai kept clapping and shouting, "Good! This is good! Keep it like this!"

Chengcheng jotted down notes in her notebook and whispered, "We can add a line from Dudu here: 'Why is being a big sister so hard?'"

Upon hearing this, Dudu immediately did as instructed, and said to the doll with a wronged expression, "Why is it so hard to be a big sister..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liuliu suddenly jumped out from the side and said in her practiced, sinister tone, "No problem, no problem. Give me the baby, and I'll help you take care of him~"

This was improvisation that wasn't in the script! This guy changed the script again without permission!!

Xiao Bai was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He didn't yell "cut" and let Liu Liu improvise.

This guy is really good at playing villains.

Dudu hugged the doll tightly, looking at Liuliu warily: "Who are you? I don't know you!"

Liu Liu rubbed her hands together, her smile both comical and a little scary: "I'm your distant cousin, I'm here to help you take care of your kids~ Look, I have candy~"

She waved the candy bag in her hand and also took advantage of Dudu!

“I don’t eat food from strangers.” Dudu took a step back.

Liuliu leaned forward, smiling ingratiatingly, "I'm not a stranger, I'm your aunt~ Come here, baby, let me hug you~"

"No!"

The two started pulling at each other in front of the camera.

Liuliu reached out to snatch the doll, but Dudu held on tightly.

During the struggle, Liu Liu slipped and fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch!" The bag of candy in her hand flew out and the candy flew all over the ground.

"My candy!"

Liu Liu let out a scream, abandoning her act, and started picking up the candy from the ground.

I don't know which fool shouted, "Whoever finds it keeps it!"

Everyone bent down to pick up the candy, and Liuliu was almost furious.

"Crack!"

Xiao Bai had no choice but to call a halt, speechless as he watched the scene unfold before him!

Suddenly, a piece of candy rolled down to Xi'er's feet. Xi'er didn't want to pick it up, but since it was offered to her so readily, she couldn't resist...

In the end, Liuliu only managed to retrieve three candies; the rest were all taken by the kids, and she couldn't get them back because they were already in their mouths!

Liu Liu cried, "I've been ripped off! I contributed to the production team, and you guys stabbed me in the back!!!"

Xiao Bai laughed and said, "Stop acting, I'll give you another bag of candy tomorrow."

Liuliu's crying face vanished instantly, and she calmly said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Chengcheng said to Xiaobai, "Liuliu's impromptu performance just now was very good, we can keep it. The scene where Liuliu falls down and picks up the candy is particularly realistic."

Upon hearing this, Liu Liu immediately puffed out her chest: "See! I told you I'm a professional!"

Xiao Bai was finally satisfied after rehearsing the first scene three times.

Next is the second scene: Dudu learns to take care of the "baby" with the help of her friends.

This time, it's Xiao Nian's turn to appear. According to the script, Xiao Nian plays a kind-hearted young lady who teaches Dudu how to properly hold the baby.

Xiao Nian remained calm, walked up to Dudu, and earnestly explained: "When holding a baby, you should support their head with one hand and their bottom with the other, like this..."

She took the doll and demonstrated, her movements were standard and gentle, and the doll seemed particularly secure in her arms.

Dudu looked at it carefully, then took the doll and tried it. This time she did much better; at least she didn't turn the "baby" upside down again.

Xiao Nian encouraged him, "Yes, that's it, you learn very quickly."

Xiao Bai nodded behind the camera and said softly, "Xiao Nian's acting skills are getting better and better, and he's become bolder too."

The second scene was rehearsed four times.

"Have some water, Xiao Nian, you acted really well," Dudu said.

Xiao Nian took the water bottle and said, "Dudu, you too, you'll definitely be a good older sister."

Dudu's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

It was getting late, so Xiaobai announced, "Let's stop here for today and continue after school tomorrow!"

The children cheered and scattered, discussing the rehearsal they had just finished in twos and threes.

The children at Little Red Horse Academy gradually went home, and Little White was busy downstairs, also seeing Robin off.

The child was still clutching her doll when she left. Her father was holding her, and she kept murmuring, "My child, my child, oh oh oh, I won't sleep..."

Xiaobai returned home to find her husband sitting on the sofa in the living room. The television was on, playing the news, but he wasn't watching; he was fiddling with his phone. Hearing the door open, he turned around and jokingly asked, "The busy man is finally done with his work?"

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Bai laughed triumphantly a few times, then walked over and sat down next to her old man: "We rehearsed two plays today, they were so much fun!"

She recounted the entire rehearsal process in detail.

Zhang Tan listened and nodded from time to time: "You did a great job, but you need to be careful with the time. Don't stay up too late, you have to go to school tomorrow."

"I know~"

"When the actual filming begins, I'll find you some sets, props, and makeup."

"Thank you, old man!"

"Should we get two more cameras?"

"Yes, yes, I'll take it!"

"Where's the script? Do you want me to take a look at it?"

"Chengcheng has already finished writing it."

Okay, I was just being presumptuous. I was actually planning to go myself.
