Chen Xiangyun successfully persuaded Ning Ran to let her bring the kids out.
Erbao put on a male outfit. With a hat on, the twins looked identical once again.
In order to look more like her brother, Erbao even straightened her face and put on a cool expression like his.
Director Cheng beamed in delight when he saw them arrive at the hotel for the audition.
“Just imagine how good the genes must have been to have produced such good-looking children!” “This is amazing! These kids will be a big hit!” Director Cheng said excitedly as he tried to approach Erbao, but Dabao quickly stood in between them.
Dabao made a motion similar to a traffic police stopping a car, as he warned Director Cheng not to come any closer.
Mommy once said that Erbao is a girl, so I can’t let strangers near her, let alone behave intimately with her.
So Dabao must protect Erbao, and keep strangers away from her.
The director was taken aback by this and looked at Cheng Xiangyun, “What’s the meaning of this?”
Cheng Xiangyun didn’t understand what Dabao was doing either. But since Dabao doesn’t talk much, she could only look at Erbao.
“You’re a guy, so you cannot just come near me like that.” Erbao said in her usual childish voice.
All the staff on set burst out in laughter. Erbao was just too adorable.
“Why can’t I come near you?” The director asked her playfully.
She was going to say, “Because I’m a girl.” but Dabao gave her a look, so she just kept quiet and pouted her lips.
“Director Cheng, why don’t we get started with the audition? I’ve got to send the kids home soon.” Chen Xiangyun said as she looked at her watch.
“Alright then, let’s begin.” “Our advertisement is about a learning computer for children. Through some simple controls, they can gain all sorts of basic knowledge. It’s an upgraded version of a learning device. Here’s a sample product.” Director Cheng said as he introduced the device.
Dabao’s eyes lit up when he heard that it’s a computer, and started examining the device.
But, his excitement turned to disappointment fairly quickly. Such a childish toy like this was too boring for him.
To him, this didn’t even count as a computer. It was just a smart toy at best.
The crew got into position and the audition started.
According to the plan, Dabao would hold the learning computer and read his lines, “I can draw.”
Erbao who stood next to him would say, “I know calligraphy.”
Dabao would then continue, “I know English.”
And Erbao would go on, “I know Tang poetry.”
Then, they would both say in unison, “We’re only kids but we are knowledgeable in all these because we use Genius Kids Learning Computer!”
Just like superstars, the two showed no signs of being camera-shy as they stood in front of it.
However, the problem was, Dabao refused to start saying his lines. His expression was also too cool and needed to be gentler.
“Sweetie, what’s wrong? Why don’t you start reading your lines?” Chen Xiangyun asked Dabao.
“It’s childish.” Dabao replied.
Cheng Xiangyun was speechless. She had forgotten that this child in front of her was a genius who had participated in the programming competition and won the championship.
A learning computer like that was indeed too childish for him.
“We’re just doing this for an advertisement. Once we get the money, we can relief mommy’s burden with it. Would you please play along with it?”
Dabao looked at Cheng Xiangyun, and nodded his head.
But when the filming continued, Dabao still couldn’t read his lines.
He was too used to being quiet. To read out lines on the spot like was too much for him.
“Is it okay if I read out big brother’s lines for him instead?” Erbao bravely suggested.
The director had no choice but to make do with it, “Then let’s start filming. We’ll just do some editing later on.”
Without having to worry about reading their lines, the two adorable children cooperated perfectly and they managed to get it all done in one take.
