beggar? Who is begging for food?
She seems to have heard someone say that she looks like a beggar?
In a daze, Lin Momo turned to look at Lin Cheng who was at the side.
Lin Cheng also looked down at Lin Momo - when she went out in the morning, for convenience, Lin Momo didn't wear the expensive clothes that Lin Cheng bought for her before, but specially wore light and dirt-resistant clothes. The T-shirt and sweatpants suit, in and out of the various crews, will inevitably get dirty. After a day of tossing, Lin Momo's hair is a little disheveled, and sweat from just waking up hangs on her forehead, looking a little wilted. But it's still cute and cute, and it doesn't have anything to do with the word "beggar".
Lin Cheng looked at the two people not far away, showing a trace of unfriendliness.
There were also a lot of 'protest' voices in the live broadcast room at this time:
[I seem to have heard someone say that our Momo is a beggar? 】
Because the camera lens is facing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo at this time, the audience in the live broadcast room cannot see the people opposite Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, but it does not prevent everyone from hearing the conversation between the two, especially the young man at the end. The sentence 'begging' was raised 8 degrees.
[Will you speak! 】
[Although... Xiao Momo doesn't look like a beggar! 】
[Said Xiao Momo came out like a beggar, you find such a good-looking beggar for me! 】
[Hahaha, looking at Lin Cheng's expression, I feel that he is angry. 】
[I'm also angry. 】
【Excited! But it's kind of funny...]
…
At this moment, the most angry person was Mr. Lin who was holding the tablet and watching the live broadcast.
"Who is blind, actually said that our little Momo is like a beggar!" Mr. Lin cursed dissatisfiedly, then looked at the housekeeper Zhou at the side, and asked, "Look, our little Momo is so cute, why is she so cute?" Like begging for food?"
After all, without waiting for Butler Zhou to agree, Mr. Lin looked away again, and continued to stare at the picture in the live broadcast, still muttering: "The main reason is that Lin Cheng, a father, doesn't know how to bring children... "
Mr. Lin privately felt that the main reason why Lin Momo was treated as a beggar was because he didn't wear the cute clothes he prepared for her.

on site.
As soon as the younger man had said that, he realized that he seemed too excited and spoke too loudly. Before he could lower the end of his speech, he had already met the slightly cold gaze from the opposite child's father.
The young man exchanged glances with the man with glasses next to him, and walked up to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo in embarrassment.
"Hello, we are the crew of "Where Are You?" My name is Guo Fei, and the colleague next to me is Yang Dong. This is my business card, and here is our work ID." The young man said to Lin Cheng introduced himself, handed Lin Cheng his business card, and showed Lin Cheng their work badges.
"What's the matter?" Lin Cheng looked at the two of them and asked.
"It's like this. In our show, there is a character who begs all the way to the city. We think this kid is very suitable..."
Guo Fei only spoke half of what he said.
Facing Lin Cheng's eyes as if he was going to beat him up in the next second, Guo Fei faltered instantly, and hurriedly explained: "Well, what, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying your daughter is like a beggar, I'm talking about temperament, her The smell is a bit like…”
The words were still only halfway through, and Guo Fei found that the father's eyes seemed to be even colder.
"No, I mean..."
The older Yang Dong couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped Guo Fei.
"Our drama is a pseudo-documentary film adapted from real events. The main content of the filming is the stories of left-behind children, lost children or abandoned children," Yang Dong explained, looking at the side of Lin Cheng Lin Momo continued to add: "In the whole play, there is a small unit whose main character is 'Xu Duo', who is a left-behind child. I came to the city to look for the parents who brought my younger brother to the city two years ago, and we are still looking for an actor for this role. I just saw your daughter suddenly, and we feel that she is qualified for this role."
After all, Yang Dong couldn't help but look at Lin Momo again.
— It’s not that this child’s temperament is like a beggar, but that she looks like the ‘Xu Duo’ in the play as a whole.
As far as appearance is concerned, the brat that the investor found before was not ugly, but he was round and fat, and his face was too ruddy. At first glance, he didn't look like the 'Xu Duo' who grew up in the mountains.
On the other hand, Lin Momo is very thin, but she doesn't give people a sense of frailty. It seems that there is strength hidden in her thin body. Her palm-sized face and pointed chin can be transformed with a little make-up. Gives people a cute and pitiful feeling.
And just now, the appearance of this child sleeping in her father's arms is very similar to the appearance of "Xu Duo" in their minds hiding in the corner of the bus entering the city, curled up and falling asleep because of being too tired .
"Because we didn't do much publicity in the early stage, you may not know about this drama, but you can rest assured that we are definitely a regular crew, and this drama also has a certain public welfare nature..." Yang Dong asked Lin Cheng and Lin Momo introduced a lot.
After listening for a while, Lin Momo roughly understood what the other party meant.
"Are you looking for acting?" Lin Momo asked.
"That's right, that's what it means!" Yang Dong said, paused, then looked at Lin Momo and asked expectantly, "Do you want to try it?"
Lin Momo lowered her eyes, seemed to hesitate for a while, then looked at the two people in front of her again, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me—is there much money for this play?"
Originally, between Yang Dong and Guo Fei, Lin Momo buried her head and kept silent, thinking that the kid was afraid or worried that she might not be able to perform well. The two of them were very nervous for a while, but when they heard Lin Momo say this, In a word, the two of them failed.
—I didn’t realize at all that this kid was actually a little money fanatic.
"Although our drama has a public welfare nature, you don't have to worry about the cost." The investment of this drama is not inferior to the investment of a movie.
After all, Yang Dong said again: "As for the remuneration, it can be negotiated when you get to the crew."
"It's definitely not bad." Yang Dong added.
Lin Momo's heart was moved by the other party's words, but she didn't make a decision right away, but turned her head to look at Lin Cheng next to her, with a little expectation hidden in her eyes.
Different from his daughter's "only concerned about money", Lin Cheng asked the two crew members in front of him some details, such as shooting time, daily shooting time, whether there are night scenes, whether there is danger, etc.
It wasn't until the details were roughly confirmed that there would be no dangerous or strenuous filming during the filming process, nor would it affect the child's normal work and rest, Lin Cheng nodded and agreed to take Lin Momo to the other party's crew for a try .

A group of four came to "Where are you?" "The crew.
At this time, the director was talking to several main actors. After listening to Guo Fei and Yang Dong's explanation, the director looked at Lin Momo, first stunned, and then a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
"That's right! That's what I want!" The director said excitedly.
The biggest difficulty for their drama is casting, and the character 'Xu Duo' is undoubtedly the most difficult because of the unique living environment and experience.
——The real story happened a few years ago, "Xu Duo" was 9 years old, her parents went out to work, and she has been living in her hometown with her grandmother and younger brother. Two years ago, my parents came back and took my sick younger brother to the city for medical treatment. At the same time, they took away almost all of the family's savings. For the next two years, there was no news from her parents, and 'Xu Duo' took care of her grandma and supported their family in her own way. Until her grandmother also died of illness, "Xu Duo" carried all the "valuable" things at home and went to the city to find her parents and younger brother.
The most incredible thing is that "Xu Duo" really relied on perseverance to get out of the mountains and came to the city without even knowing the way.
Although the protagonist is young and has little knowledge, he is very complicated—confused, timid and cautious in the face of an unfamiliar environment, and tenacious and persistent in his bones. The innocence and simplicity formed by living in an isolated village for many years, and the maturity formed by raising a family early.
Finding children of the same background to play such a role may cause stage fright because they are not suitable for the crew, and it is difficult to find a child actor who fits the character.
But the child in front of him is unexpectedly similar to 'Xu Duo', especially his eyes, which seem to be covered by dust, but there are stars hidden.
"It's so similar..." The director couldn't help sighing again, and began to look forward to Lin Momo's performance in his heart.
"Let's try to play a part first." The director put down the work at hand and said to Lin Momo.
"Play this part." The director dug up a script from 'Xu Duo' and handed it to Lin Momo, and explained it to her.
This paragraph is very simple: 'Xu Duo' was walking on the street with her family's belongings on her back, and a kind passer-by came forward to ask her about her situation, but some bad experiences in the previous period made her wary in her heart, and faced the passer-by The questioning 'Xu Duo' swung his legs and ran, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"It's this part, just imagine that in front of you is a passer-by who wants to help you, surrounded by passers-by." The director patiently said to Lin Momo.
"Okay." Lin Momo nodded.
The director vacated a space on the scene, and asked the props team to bring props, a woven bag packed into a large bag.
Perhaps because the woven bag was too heavy for the actor to carry, he replaced it with a part of foam padding.
Then, according to what the director said, Lin Momo started from a corner of the set and walked towards this side.
However, before Lin Momo could take two steps, she was stopped by an assistant director on the scene.
"Stop first, you can't carry that bag right," the assistant director pointed to the woven bag behind Lin Momo, and said, "Those two nylon ropes are for you to carry, not for you to carry it on your shoulders." of."
The director on the side touched his chin, nodded, and said to Lin Momo in a calm tone: "This bag must be carried, not like a schoolbag."
Hearing what the two directors said, Lin Momo nodded, and put the woven bag off his back, and found that the woven bag would be dragged to the ground, so he hugged the woven bag again.
"No, it's still not right!" The assistant director frowned and said.
At this moment, Lin Cheng, who had been on the sidelines, spoke.
"It seems that no one stipulates how to carry the woven bag."
Hearing this, the assistant director and director were taken aback: "This..."
Then, Lin Cheng continued: "How to carry the woven bag is a matter of the habit of the person who carries the bag. It seems that there is no need for a correct method of carrying the bag."
"..."
Due to the "shadow" caused by the bear child who played the role of "Xu Duo" and her guardian, when they heard Lin Cheng's words at this time, the directors subconsciously thought that Lin Cheng was pampering their own children, and they all frowned , showing displeasure.
"There is no standard way of reciting props, but normal people always carry them. It's too strange for her to recite them like this, and it's wrong to play around with props like this." The assistant director said.
At this moment, Lin Momo said, "I didn't play around with props."
Although Lin Momo's voice was not loud, everyone present heard it. Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Momo, as if they wanted to hear her nonsense.
However, Lin Momo's answer was: "It's easier to carry it this way, and you won't be able to carry heavy things."
Hearing such an answer, the directors were a little surprised.
"Also," Lin Momo said after a pause, "When you're walking on the road, it's less likely that your back will bump into others or rub against other people's clothes."
As soon as Lin Momo said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
——Although Lin Momo's method of carrying a woven bag like that is indeed strange, but after careful consideration, it seems reasonable.
But, what kind of experience will make this child have such a cognition?
Just as everyone looked at Lin Momo in surprise and inquiry, an old man in his early seventies came to the set.
This person is exactly the old Li and Li Jianhong that Guo Fei and his wife had mentioned before, the older generation of film and television actors, and the author of "Where are you?" "The producer and half editor of this play.
Li Jianhong listened to most of the conversation on the set just now, and after watching Lin Momo carefully for a while, Li Jianhong said to everyone: "There is no need to toss about how to recite it, just follow what she recited before."
"Come on, just act like this and try." Li Jianhong sat down on the stool next to him and said to Lin Momo.
Although this person looked a bit fierce, Lin Momo could feel that the other party was not malicious, so he nodded, put the woven bag on his back again, and began to perform.
A silent performance, from Lin Momo walking over to running away when facing a 'passer-by', took less than a minute in total, and no one interrupted during the process.
Seeing Lin Momo running away, Li Jianhong stood up from his chair and chased after her.
"Ouch, run slowly, this place is small, don't fall." Li Jianhong shouted nervously to Lin Momo.
—Although the bag was partially filled with running foam, it still has some weight. Li Jianhong didn't expect that the kid could run so smoothly with such a big bag on his back.
Seeing this, the other people on the set couldn't help but smile.
Although Mr. Li hadn't commented on Lin Momo's performance at this time, everyone could tell from the old artist's "turning over the book" attitude that he was very satisfied with Lin Momo's performance.
—
After the few people sat down, Li Jianhong directly expressed his hope that Lin Momo could enter "Where are you?" "The wishes of the crew.
Lin Cheng did not agree in a hurry, but carefully read all the background information, script and contract samples provided by the crew.
"How long was the shooting?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Well..." Li Jianhong looked at Lin Cheng and didn't know how to speak for a while, because he didn't know whether Lin Cheng wanted to be longer or shorter.
Fortunately, at this time Lin Cheng added: "We have other recordings later, so we can't be on set for a long time."
Hearing this, Li Jianhong understood, quickly waved his hands, and said: "It's not long. The story of this small unit itself is not long. If it goes well, it will take three days, no, two to two and a half days. It can be completed, but if we need to make up or add shots later, we will contact you.”
Lin Cheng nodded.
"What about the salary?" Lin Momo asked and answered, this column was not filled in the sample contract.
Hearing Lin Momo's words, Yang Dong who was at the side first smiled, and half-jokingly explained to Li Jianhong: "Little Momo is very concerned about the salary issue."
Hearing this, Li Jianhong nodded and asked Lin Momo, "How much salary do you want?"
Lin Momo seemed to bury her head in thought for a while, and then boldly called out: "2000."
As soon as these words came out, several members of the crew were obviously stunned.
Seeing this, Lin Momo changed her words a little guilty, and said, "Otherwise, 1600 is fine."
"I will seriously act." Lin Momo assured again.
Seeing Lin Momo's serious and nervous appearance, Lin Cheng on the side smiled secretly - this girl thinks her performance is too worthless.
However, Lin Cheng didn't change Lin Momo's price. Looking at Li Jianhong and the film crew, he said, "Just 2000. Her performance won't let you down."
Here, Li Jianhong looked at Lin Momo and then at Lin Cheng, and also smiled: Obviously, the father and daughter in front of him should not be short of money, and Lin Cheng probably wanted to train Lin Momo more by doing this.
Not changing the price in Lin Momo's heart is a kind of respect for the child and protection of his growth.
Li Jianhong rubbed his chin, watched Lin Momo pretending to think about it for a while, then nodded "reluctantly", and said, "2000 is 2000, but I have a request."
"What request?" Lin Momo asked seriously.
"In 2000, I have to add your father to play a guest role in the play."
"Add my dad?" Lin Momo calculated in her heart: They earned a total of 470 yuan a day from acting in several crews, and now she and Lin Cheng can earn 2,000 yuan in 2 days, which doesn't seem to be a loss .
Lin Momo turned her head to look at Lin Cheng, and seeing Lin Cheng nodding, she nodded happily to Li Jianhong and said, "Okay! We agree."
The two parties signed the contract on the spot.
Lin Momo played the role of "Xu Duo", while Lin Cheng played the cameo role of the policeman who picked up "Xu Duo" at the end of this unit.
Seeing that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo had signed the contract, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room was immediately flooded with comments from the audience:
[Although I know that Papa Lin wants to exercise Momo, it's still funny. 】
[At first I thought that Momo would finally become the protagonist of a unit, and she could get rid of poverty and become rich, but she didn't expect the salary to be only 2000! It's too awful. 】
[What the **** is 2000! 】
[Excluding food expenses, it's just enough to pay off their 'debt' for this week. 】
【laugh…】
[Momo: I'm only worth 2000? 】
[Wrong, Momo 1600, Dad 400. 】
[Papa Lin cheated his daughter with his strength. 】
【Momo, do you know that you were tricked by your father and the crew? 】
In the next second, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room was filled with the words [Momo don't sign] [Momo run].
