Chapter 2: practise

At noon the next day, someone arranged by Chen Yu came to pick Lin Momo away.

Before leaving, Liu Cuifang asked Lin Momo to change into clean clothes, and stuffed a purse made of old cloth into Lin Momo's hand.

"There is 700 yuan in it. It is inevitable to spend money when you go out. The 200 yuan is for you to spend, and the other 500 yuan is your tuition fee for the next semester. You should keep it carefully and don't lose it." Liu Cuifang urged road.

She had saved this money for a long time, and she secretly put it at Zhang's mother next door, because she was afraid that Zhang Xiaoqiang would come back to ask her for it after Lin Momo left, so she planned to let Lin Momo take it all with her.

"Take good care of yourself outside, be hygienic, speak sweetly, don't interrupt when others are talking, know and say thank you when others help... don't trouble others, you know?" Liu Cuifang has no education, so she can only know herself He told Lin Momo over and over again.

"Okay." Lin Momo agreed.

It wasn't until the nurse came that Lin Momo felt relieved and left with the two assistants.

On the way, Lin Momo knew their names.

The young male assistant wearing glasses is called Zhou Qi, and the fat young lady is called Wang Xi, both of whom are newly recruited intern assistants by the company.

When they came to the company, Zhou Qi and Wang Xi took Lin Momo to hide, and finally came to a small room.

"This is the practice room you mentioned? Isn't this just a utility room!" Wang Xi complained.

"Keep your voice down. Brother Chen Yu told us to keep a low profile, low profile." Zhou Qi lowered his voice and said.

"Recently, the company has a new group of trainees. The practice room is not enough. How can we lend us a good practice room. It would be nice to have a place to stay. This is the key I borrowed through my personal relationship. "

Wang Xi waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, anyway, it's only two days." Two days later, the filming team will come to test shoot, and Lin Momo will be sent to be with Lin Cheng.

Wang Xi lowered his head and looked at Lin Momo. He wanted to comfort her that the hardship was only temporary and he had to overcome it a little. However, thinking of Lin Momo's previous living environment, Wang Xi stopped talking.

"There's not much time, we have to hurry up and practice, and you will stay here temporarily for the next two days." Wang Xi pointed to the utility room in front of him and said to Lin Momo.

Lin Momo nodded, indicating that she understood.

For the whole afternoon, Wang Xi and Zhou Qi first let Lin Momo watch some similar parent-child reality shows, and then started practicing with Lin Momo.

Wang Xi: "Before the official start of the program, the general program team will first go to the star's home to shoot the pilot film. At that time, the director team may ask you some questions. You should behave naturally, as if you are at home. What is the other party asking you?" You can answer."

Lin Momo: "OK."

"Then let's try it again. Remember what we told you, come on."

As soon as Wang Xi called "Start", Lin Momo quickly waved in the direction of the phone camera: "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Momo."

After finishing speaking, Lin Momo picked up the 'photo' that Wang Xi drew for her, pointed to the match figure on it and said, "The person in the photo is my father, he is a singer..."

"Do you like Dad?"

"like."

"Do you prefer Dad or Mom?"

"Mother."

"Why?"

"Because my mother is very gentle with me, my father is sometimes a little strict."

Wang Xi nodded, turned to the next page of the notebook, and continued to ask, "How did you get the name Xiao Momo?"

——Lin Momo's surname is 'Lin' because when her grandma picked her up, there was a blurry certificate next to her with the word 'Lin' on it, and the word Momo was because she was put in a In the foam box, if you shout too much, you will become 'momo'.

"Because Dad has a song called "Mo", so he named me Momo." Lin Momo said the answer Wang Xi gave her.

"Very good." Wang Xi nodded, and then asked a few more questions. He was a little surprised to see that Lin Momo could answer without saying a word.

"Have you memorized all the questions here?" Wang Xi asked Lin Momo holding up his notebook.

Lin Momo nodded.

Wang Xi smiled dryly: "Very good."

"What do you think Zhou Qi?" Wang Xi turned to ask Zhou Qi.

"The answer is that there is no problem, but it feels a little blunt and weird." Zhou Qi said while rubbing his chin.

"It's a bit." Wang Xi frowned after watching the recorded video.

In the video, although Lin Momo was able to answer the questions fluently, it felt like he was endorsing a book without emotion, especially when it came to parents, Lin Momo's eyes did not have the excitement of other children, some Just blank and empty.

"It doesn't matter. Being able to recite the answer has already completed the first step. For the rest, let's practice a few more times to find the feeling."

"Let's do it again, take it easy."

"good."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Momo."

"Why is it called Lin Momo?"

"Because my father's surname is Lin..."

In the evening, when Chen Yu came to the practice room, Lin Momo was still practicing and her voice was a little hoarse, but her expression was much more natural than before.

"Hi everyone, my name is Lin Momo, I am 9 years old..."

"Wait." Chen Yu interrupted the practice.

"Is there any problem? Brother Chen Yu."

"The script has to be changed," Chen Yu thought for a while, and then said, "You can't say 9 years old."

Lin Cheng is 32 years old this year. If his child is 9 years old, isn't that telling the audience that Lin Cheng has a child at the age of 22?

Depending on the imagination of the audience, the two things must be connected together.

If it fails to become popular by then, it is estimated that it will become darker and darker.

"Change it to 7 years old." Chen Yu looked at Lin Momo and thought to himself: Even the relationship between father and daughter is fake, does age really matter?

Fortunately, due to long-term malnutrition, Lin Momo is much thinner than children of the same age. If she is only 7 years old, no one should doubt it.

Chen Yu asked Lin Momo to take a break, and the three of them had a meeting on the temporary desk beside them.

"Because of the rush of time, the program team can only provide us with a filming process, and we need to prepare the script by ourselves." Chen Yu told the two of the latest news.

When Wang Xi heard this, he was dumbfounded: "Prepare by yourself? The workload is too much!" And it is hard to say whether the script they prepared can pass the review of the program team.

Zhou Qi also frowned, shook his head and said, "Two days is simply impossible."

"I know, so I called you to a meeting to discuss with you, first set up personal settings." Chen Yu said.

Set up the characters, let Lin Cheng and Lin Momo 'act' according to the characters, and let them play the rest.

"Okay," Zhou Qi nodded, and asked again: "But what kind of character design do you want to make?"

"How about a good-looking father-daughter combination? Anyway, Brother Cheng and Lin Momo are both good-looking." Wang Xi suggested.

"No, I heard that this setting has already been set by Bai Yulin."

"What about the gentle dad & cute daughter? This setting is less likely to make mistakes, and it is easier to gain the favor of passers-by."

Chen Yu glanced at Wang Xi, with a gloomy expression on his face, and asked quietly: "Do you think Lin Cheng can cooperate with us in performing the word 'gentle'?"

"This..." Wang Xi remembered the scene when he saw Lin Cheng himself half a year ago, and fell silent.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, just standing there gave off an overwhelming aura, which had nothing to do with gentleness.

"By the way! I still think of one!" Wang Xi suddenly said excitedly.

"Why don't you make Lin Momo a squeamish little princess? Although such a character is controversial in the early stage and may not be flattering, it is easy to reverse later, and facing a squeamish daughter, Cheng Even if I have a cold face on the show, the audience should be able to accept it."

— that's a good idea.

Chen Yu nodded.

Such a character design will make the audience's main attention focus on Lin Momo's performance, but it is not easy to pay attention to the interaction and subtle sense of violation between the 'father and daughter'.

"Can."

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, he saw that Lin Momo over there had already cleaned up the takeaway lunch boxes that the previous four people had eaten, and then "Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka" crushed four empty drink bottles with his bare hands, with skillful and quick movements .

The three people here have black lines on their faces.

"Think about it again..."

In the end, the helpless three reluctantly decided on a Buddhist father-daughter combination for the 'father and daughter': talk less and be casual.

Although such a character design is not very competitive, and there is a great possibility that it will be ignored by the audience, but at least it can cover up the fact that the 'father and daughter' are not familiar at all.

Early the next morning, Chen Yu recruited his girlfriend as foreign aid.

Xu Jia, who was dragged into the temporary practice room by her boyfriend, was still puzzled: "Your artist is going to be on a parent-child reality show, what's the use of asking me to be a makeup artist for a girl group?"

"I can't help it," said Chen Yu, pointing to Lin Momo who was sitting quietly in a corner of the sofa, and said to Xu Jia, "Just that child, see if you can help me put on some makeup for her. "

"Makeup? How do you want to change it?" In Xu Jia's view, children of this age are already good-looking, and they don't need much makeup at all.

"Just...be a little bit like a star's child." Chen Yu said.

Hearing this, Xu Jia was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yu had no choice but to explain the real situation of the whole incident to Xu Jia.

After listening to the explanation, Xu Jia suddenly realized, and looked at Lin Momo in disbelief.

She had met Lin Cheng himself, and if Chen Yu hadn't told him, she would have always thought that this child was Lin Cheng's.

"Where did you find a child who looks like Lin Cheng?" Xu Jia asked Chen Yu.

"Don't worry about how you found it. Let's see if you can make her look more like that." Lin Momo's facial features already look like Lin Cheng, so if she has to say something wrong, she is too thin It's not like a child of a celebrity family at all, or even a child who grew up in an ordinary family.

After looking at Lin Momo for a moment, Xu Jia nodded and said, "I'll try."

Xu Jia found makeup tools. First, she treated Lin Momo's withered and yellow hair to make her hair look blacker and brighter. Then she applied a special makeup treatment on Lin Momo's face to cover up her original look. It was because of the abnormal complexion due to long-term malnutrition, and the high-gloss treatment made Lin Momo look a little fatter.

In the end, Xu Jia used concealer to cover up the scars and bruises on Lin Momo's face and body due to bumps or beatings while picking up scraps.

Xu Jia didn't expect that there would be so many injuries on a child.

Half an hour later, Lin Momo was still Lin Momo, but the whole state had changed drastically.

Looking at the 'healthy' self in the mirror, Lin Momo's eyes shone with surprise.

Xu Jia also nodded in satisfaction with her 'work', then turned to look at Chen Yu and asked, "How is it?"

"That's the effect!" Chen Yu made an 'admiration' gesture towards Xu Jiabi.

"But at most, I can cope with the filming of the pilot film and the interview." Xu Jia said.

After the reality show officially started recording, it was impossible for her to follow, and it was impossible for the program crew to give them so much time to do Lin Momo's makeup.

"I understand, let's deal with the previous one first." Chen Yu said. I thought: According to the flow of the program, after the filming officially starts, the father and children will be sent to live in a family environment with average or even difficult conditions. Lin Momo's condition is a bit worse, so it should be reasonable.

Xu Jia nodded, took out a few sticks of concealer from her makeup bag and handed them to Lin Momo.

"You take these. If the wounds are exposed, you have to cover them in time. Don't let anyone find your wounds, you know?"

"Okay." Lin Momo nodded.
