Chapter 3347 Little Red Horse Draws Huge Crowds

Chapter 3347 Little Red Horse Draws Huge Crowds

Filming for "Being a Sister Isn't Easy" has finished, and the children's work is over, but for Xiaobai, the director, the work is far from over.

She needs editing and post-production work.

She did all these tasks herself. Every day after school, she would lock herself in her study and work quickly on her laptop.

Although her movements are not yet skilled and her speed is not fast, Xiaobai is very patient and she can do it on her own.

"Here we need to cut to the shot of Dudu holding the baby... Slow down the part where Liuliu tripped for half a second..." Xiaobai muttered to herself as she operated the computer, her little face full of focus.

Her father taught her how to use this editing software; it wasn't her first time using it.

"Director Xiaobai is so dedicated!"

Zhang Tan walked in with a cartoon water bottle and placed it on Xiao Bai's desk: "Xiao Bai always forgets to drink water when he gets busy, which is not a good habit."

Xiao Bai looked up at him, wanted to laugh but held it in, and said in a fake tone, "Oh, I'm too busy at work, the company is under a lot of pressure, and my whole family of dozens of little kids are counting on me to feed them. I can't not work hard."

Zhang sighed, "Then you must balance work and rest. Health is the most important thing. Only with better health can you work better."

Xiao Bai waved his hand and said, "Oh, I know all that. By the way, old man, what brings you here?"

"Have a sip of water first."

Xiao Bai made a clear swallowing motion and chuckled, "I drank some water."

Zhang sighed helplessly and handed the water bottle to her: "Drink up, then show me the short film you edited."

When Xiao Bai heard that the famous director wanted to see her film, she immediately perked up, gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, and then asked the old director to take a look at the film she had just edited.

Zhang Tan saw the rough cut of "Being an Older Sister Isn't Easy" on the screen, with scenes of Dudu gently coaxing her doll to sleep, Liuliu falling into the bushes in a sorry state, and a group capture under the sunset by the lake... Scene after scene of innocent yet sincere performances gradually strung together into a complete story in the simple editing software.

"Hahaha~~" Xiaobai excitedly pointed at the computer screen and said, "Look, old man! I added an Easter egg! I cut all the outtakes together!"

In the scene, Liuliu emerges from the bushes for the nth time with a plastic bag hanging from her head; Robin chases the wrong person with a pitchfork and crashes into a tree; and Xiaoyouyou angrily threatens to quit the performance...

Zhang Tan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This is great, even more exciting than the main feature."

Xiao Bai's expression changed: "What do you mean, old man? Are you saying my filming was bad?"

Zhang Tan quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant that these bloopers are funny, but they're definitely not as good as your main feature."

Xiao Bai's expression softened slightly, but he still said, "Old man, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't talk behind people's backs."

Zhang sighed, "I'll speak my mind directly. I won't talk behind people's backs. I'm not like Liu Liu."

Xiao Bai was slightly satisfied and said, "Tonight I'll show everyone 'Being a Sister Isn't Easy'! I plan to show it at the academy first, and then let everyone copy a copy to take home! What do you think, old man?"

Zhang Tan said, "I'll watch it with you all then."

Xiao Bai said helplessly, "I'm asking you, what do you think of my idea?"

Zhang Tan said, "I think it's excellent, let's do it."

Xiao Bai chuckled twice, closed his laptop, and went downstairs to make the arrangements.

At 6:30 p.m., when Zhang Tan came downstairs, he saw that the curtains in the classroom were drawn and the projector was casting light and shadow on the wall.

Thirty-odd little kids huddled on a small stool, their little faces tilted back, chattering away noisily.

Robin ran up and down, telling everyone to be quiet, to stop talking, because the movie was about to start.

The teachers all came out and stood on the outside watching the show. Principal Huang also came downstairs from her office. Old Li locked the iron gate and stood by the classroom window with the bird.

It can be said that Little Red Horse, as long as it has legs, will come whether it should or shouldn't come.

Xiao Bai, who was learning from the premieres of those big movies, wanted to say a few words before the screening, but she talked too much, to the point that some silly kids in the audience told her to stop talking.

Xiao Bai's expression changed, but he immediately smiled, waved his hand, and said he wouldn't pursue the matter, and started playing the movie.

However, Liu Liu, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at the kid who had shouted, and said to Robin, "Write it down, it's Zhou Zizi! We'll settle the score with her later."

Robin paused for a moment and said, "My aunt said she wouldn't pursue the matter."

Liuliu tapped the child's blockhead head: "Your aunt is magnanimous and can overlook it, but as her little niece, you're just a child. If you pursue this, you're truly awful! Do you understand?"

Robin nodded blankly.

When the opening credits showed "Director: Xiaobai" and "Screenwriter: Chengcheng," the classroom erupted in a chorus of "Wow!"

As the movie began, the children sometimes held their breath and sometimes burst into laughter. When they saw the scene of catching the animals by the lake, Tian Xiaoya nervously grabbed Xiao Youyou's hand and shouted, "Quick, catch her!"

When the blooper compilation was played, the laughter almost lifted the roof off.

Seeing herself choke on a jianbing (Chinese crepe), Liuliu was embarrassed and annoyed, about to pounce on the projector to turn it off. But the next second, it switched to showing Tian Xiaoya filming a chase scene where she suddenly stumbled and fell to her knees. Liuliu burst into laughter. Then she saw Tian Xiaoya, Xiaoyouyou, and Robin tying Xiaolizi to a camphor tree, and she laughed even harder, tears streaming down her face. While laughing, she moved closer to Xiaolizi and deliberately shouted, "A tree! It's a tree!! Hello, little tree girl!!"

Little Li said coldly, "How can a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) shut you up?"

Robin interjected, "You'd need a chicken leg to plug it up."

Liuliu was about to refute Xiao Lizi, but after hearing Robin's words, she was immediately amazed. She cupped Robin's little face in her hands, looked him up and down, and marveled at him. She kneaded and rubbed his little face until it was round and flat, constantly changing its shape.

Just as Robin was about to explode, he heard Liu Liu say, "Hey, hey, Robin, how do you understand me so well? Seriously, only a chicken leg can shut me up!!!"

Robin's anger turned into laughter, and she felt quite proud of herself, thinking that she was probably the one who understood Liu Liu the most among the little red horses!

"Brainless" seemed to instantly forget that he was being wantonly ravaged by Liuliu.

Her aunt wasn't paying attention to her at the moment; she was busy receiving congratulations from all sides.

Everyone came up to congratulate Xiaobai, shook hands with her, and praised "Being a Sister Isn't Easy" as a great film that was both funny and touching, and would definitely win a big award!

"I want to take it back to show my mom and dad!" Dudu carefully took the USB drive from Xiaobai. The pink bear-shaped storage chip felt warm in her palm, more precious than anything else.

Before Xiaobai could give it to her, Xi'er approached Xiaobai herself and asked for a USB drive as well: "I want to show it to my sister. Being a sister isn't easy for you either."

Although the older sister in "Being an Older Sister Isn't Easy" isn't based on her own sister, Xi'er feels that all older sisters are the same. When she was a baby, her older sister must have put in a lot of effort to take care of her as she grew up, just like Dudu.

She wanted to use this film to thank her sister for taking care of her over the years.

Xiaobai gave the USB drive to Xier and instructed her to collect Jiner's opinions and suggestions.

That evening, in Dudu's living room.

The light from the television screen shone on the faces of the family of three. When Dudu, playing the older sister, rushed to the hospital in the rainy night carrying the baby, sobbing as she ran, "Sister's here, don't be afraid," Dudu's mother quietly wiped away a tear.

“Our Dudu… has really grown up.”

Zhao Gongcheng put his arm around his wife Sun Dongdong's shoulder, made a gesture, and his eyes were full of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Sun Dongdong patted his bulging belly, nodded, and said in sign language, "Sending Dudu to Little Red Horse was absolutely the right decision."
