Chapter 3192 The Defense

Over the next few days, Liuliu began intensive sign language training day and night.

Fortunately, she was very enthusiastic. Every day after school, she would drop her schoolbag and start practicing with Dudu.

"'I want to act' requires first comparing 'want' and then comparing 'acting'."

Dudu patiently held Liuliu's hand, correcting her crossed and misaligned fingers.

"Liuliu, relax your wrist, don't tense it so much."

Liuliu nodded, took Dudu's hand in her own, and said affectionately, "Okay, my little Dudu, just you watch, I will definitely be able to learn sign language the fastest."

"Let go!"

Dudu withdrew her hand and looked at Liuliu speechlessly.

"You need to be serious and not do anything reckless."

"I'm serious, I'm serious~ What's wrong? Can't I even hold your little hand? Dudu, you weren't like this before!"

Dudu: "If you don't want to learn, that's fine. I'll teach Xier."

"Learn, learn, learn! Dudu, my dear Dudu, teach me."

"Then be serious."

"I'm serious, I'm serious."

When Liuliu gets serious, she can't really make Dudu leave.

To memorize the gestures, she drew each sign word in a small notebook, with the pinyin and mnemonic next to it, such as "Mama = cross your chest and shake it" and "Starlight = star + light rays downward".

She practiced repeatedly in front of the mirror, and her learning progress was encouraging.

However, there are others whose learning progress is even more impressive.

Little Tan Xier is also learning sign language, even though she doesn't need it, she just follows along anyway, because it's good to have more skills.

Moreover, her learning progress was even faster than Liu Liu's, and her mastery speed was astonishing, making Liu Liu envious and jealous.

Xiaobai was happy to see this happen, because with the addition of Xiwawa, Liuliu clearly felt the pressure, as if she was being driven by Xiwawa to study harder.

You can't do without studying.

Xiaobai even specially invited a professional sign language teacher to the school for guidance. Looking at Xier and Liuliu's practice results, the teacher couldn't help but praise: "You've only practiced for a week and you're already so proficient. You're so hardworking and dedicated! Your professionalism is admirable."

Liu Liu nodded: "I'm serious about acting, but I'm just too curly!"

She never wanted to study with Xi'er again. She felt a little sorry for Dudu; being in the same class as Xi'er must have been very stressful and tiring.

During this time, Chengcheng, Xiaomi, and Xier prepared a thick outline for their defense, listing all the questions they might be asked.

"Why was Dudu chosen as the model?" "Why include the father and brother?" "What is the story trying to convey?"

Xiaobai led everyone in a mock defense scenario, with Chengcheng playing the role of the judge, asking one question after another, and Xiaobai responsible for the main answers.

"The judges asked, 'What was the most touching detail in the script?'" Chengcheng imitated the serious tone, "What did you say?"

Xiao Bai thought for a moment and said loudly, "It was Mom who secretly drew the performance in her notebook and practiced it in front of the mirror at home. She can't hear, but she wants to understand her daughter's dream. That's the most touching part!"

……

Finally, the day of the defense arrived. Zhang Tan did not go; instead, Tan Jin'er drove the "Sailor Moon" girls to the defense venue at Little Red Horse Film and Television Company.

The defense was held in the company's large conference room. The corridor outside was already full of people, mostly adults in suits, holding thick scripts and materials. Some were exchanging whispers, but most were sitting quietly by themselves.

As soon as Xiaobai and her friends entered, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"How did the child get in?" a middle-aged screenwriter wearing glasses asked with a frown, his tone full of doubt.

"Could they be family members of the staff? Here to observe?" Another female screenwriter in a long skirt looked them over and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the little notebook in Robin's arms. "She's even holding a fairy tale book. How cute."

"It looks somewhat familiar."

Some people stared at Xiaobai Liuliu and the others, feeling that they looked familiar, but they couldn't recognize them at first.

The whispers reached the ears of her group of girlfriends, and Liu Liu proudly announced, "We're here to defend our theses! Not to play around!"

The moment these words were spoken, the surrounding chatter ceased instantly, and everyone was stunned.

The middle-aged screenwriter who had just spoken walked over and looked Xiaobai up and down: "Kids, what are you talking about? A defense? This is the final defense of a scriptwriting competition, not child's play."

Xiao Bai raised her head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We are the authors of 'Miss Zhao's Family.' We received the shortlist notification and are here to participate in the defense."

"What? 'Miss Zhao's Family'?" The middle-aged screenwriter's eyes widened, and the people around him gathered around. "The script about a deaf-mute mother and her daughter chasing her dreams? You're the authors?"

“Yes!” Liu Liu proudly raised her chin.

Everyone was stunned. Someone couldn't help but take out their phone and pull up the synopsis of the script: "This script was actually written by a group of kids?"

"The youngest looks only a few years old? That's incredible!"

They saw Robin, a child who looked like a three-year-old! He didn't seem very bright.

"I initially thought 'Sailor Moon' was written by a new female screenwriter full of romantic ideals, but I never expected..."

The initial skepticism turned into amazement. Seeing the children's serious expressions, no one thought they were just there to play anymore.

"Oh, I remember who you are!!! Haha, you're Durian, right!!!"

Finally, someone recognized Liu Liu. It wasn't that they didn't know her, but they couldn't believe it. Liu Liu was an actress, and this was a screenwriting competition. Who would have thought that Liu Liu would come to the finals of a screenwriting competition?!

After being recognized, Xiao Bai Xi'er was also recognized, and everyone marveled.

……

Soon, the defense began, and the staff called out "Sailor Moon." Many screenwriters in the waiting room offered encouragement to Xiaobai and her team.

After all, they are just children, so they don't inspire a sense of competition. Instead, everyone hopes that they can achieve good results.

In the conference room, just after seeing off the previous screenwriter, a staff member's voice came from the doorway: "Team Leader Li, the 'Sailor Moon' team has arrived."

When the door to the defense meeting room was gently pushed open, the person walking in front was a little girl with short hair that reached her ears. Behind her were several children, the oldest of whom looked no more than eight or nine years old, and the youngest... who was so short that he couldn't even reach the doorknob!

"This...this is?" Xiao Zhou's pen fell to the table with a "clatter." He thought a staff member had brought the wrong family member. "Kids, this is the script defense venue. Where are your parents?"

Xiao Bai said, "You've come to the right place. We're here to defend our theses. We're 'Sailor Moon,' and 'The Zhao Family' is what we wrote!"

"Huh?" Xiao Zhou was shocked.

The others were also dumbfounded. Even the experienced team leader, Li Jie, could hardly believe it. She was about to ask the staff to verify again when Xiao Zhou exclaimed again, "You, you're Boss Bai? You're Liu Liu! And Xi'er...you..."

Xiao Zhou's mind was a bit confused. Why was Xiao Bai here?

His reminder made the entire review team realize that the little girl with short, ear-length hair was none other than the boss's daughter!

Although they haven't seen many, they've seen some before, after all, Xiaobai has visited Xiaohongma Film and Television Company quite often.

The key ingredient is also durian and large swallows.

Almost everyone at Little Red Horse Film Company knows her.

Thank you to the leader for the 10000 coins reward for stealing your lollipop, and thank you everyone for your rewards.
