Chapter 19 Crazy Thursday
"It should be hypoglycemia." A member of the medical team took off his stethoscope and took out a bottle of glucose from the medical box.
Wealthy crews like "The Story of a Noble Family" will have medical personnel on site in case of emergency.
"The child is only 14 or 5 years old and is still growing and developing. Acting is very physically demanding, so he needs more nutrition." The medical officer said to Liu Xiaoli sincerely.
"Oh, I was so scared." Liu Xiaoli patted her chest and it took her a long time to recover.
Her daughter is her sky. When Xixi fainted just now, she felt like the sky had fallen.
After Liu Qianqian took a sip of glucose, her complexion improved a lot.
All the crew members who learned about this gathered around, including Zhang Yuan.
When she came to the crew, Xixi still had an oval face, but after this week, she has almost become a melon-seed face.
In order to control her figure, her mother fed her daughter like a rabbit.
"Sister Xiaoli, Xixi is too thin. She can't control her diet like this." Director Li Dawei was very helpless.
Since the director said so, Liu Xiaoli had to nod reluctantly, but her eyes still seemed to be saying something.
"How can I harm my daughter?"
At noon, the crew had lunch. The food was pretty good, with four dishes and a soup, and each person also got a whole fried chicken drumstick.
The crew had a large table specifically for the main actors to eat at, and today Zhang Yuan happened to be sitting next to Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian opened the lunch box and her eyes lit up when she saw the chicken drumstick, but before she could eat it, her mother snatched it away.
Liu Xiaoli skillfully picked out the meat dishes, leaving only two vegetarian dishes. She also picked out the shredded pork of the remaining semi-meat dish, and finally scraped away the rice, leaving only a small lump slightly larger than a one-yuan coin, which she then returned to Xixi.
That’s it. I was lucky enough to listen to the doctor and get more food.
Xixi pouted and focused on eating the vegetables. She finished the small amount in just a few bites.
"Xixi, after you finish eating, take advantage of the lunch break to memorize your lines. The physical education teacher is here too, so hurry up!"
The little girl's brows were furrowed so much that they were almost knotted. She threw down her chopsticks and turned around to see Zhang Yuan next to her, who was holding a greasy chicken leg and chatting with Chen Kun while leaning sideways.
Xixi looked at the tempting fat on the chicken skin, and her nose was filled with the aroma of fried food...
Zhang Yuan said a few words, turned around, raised his hand to the chicken leg and was about to take a bite, but suddenly froze.
"Why is there a piece of meat missing?" Zhang Yuan turned over his hand and found a row of fine and neat teeth marks on the outside of the chicken leg that he had not yet eaten.
When I looked up again, I saw Liu Qianqian's figure walking away not far away.
"The girl is so greedy that she is eager for it."
The filming continued, and for the next period of time, Liu Qianqian's performance failed to satisfy the director, and her lines were often said incorrectly or got stuck.
Moreover, she was already very thin, and was losing even more weight.
"Ugh!" During lunch that day, when Xixi saw the boiled sea cucumbers her mother had prepared for her to supplement her nutrition, she vomited directly.
Li Dawei, who was standing by, quickly asked someone to help the girl go back and rest.
"What do you think we should do?" Li Dawei looked worried. "I fainted a few days ago, and now I vomit everything I eat. My performance is not in good condition."
"Is this child suffering from anorexia?" After thinking for a while, Li Dawei came to a very bad conclusion.
"If there is a physical problem and I can't shoot, I will have to replace someone else and reshoot, which will be a big problem."
The director was muttering to himself when Liu Xiaoli came back after sending her daughter to school and heard everything.
His face turned pale immediately!
Substitute!
Then it would be all in vain!
She also hopes that this film will help her daughter enter the film and television industry smoothly, and hopefully make her an overnight hit.
"Director Li, give Xixi a few days to adjust. She will be able to do it." Liu Xiaoli hurriedly discussed with Li Dawei.
"You've seen Xixi's current situation. The crew won't wait for anyone. I can give them time, but what if there's no change?"
Yes, you Liu family mother and daughter do have a good relationship with my mother, but I am the director of this film!
I am also responsible for the shooting and the quality of the film.
Li Dawei will not affect the quality of the entire TV series for his own sake!
The director and Liu Xiaoli were arguing endlessly. Zhang Yuan, who was eating quietly nearby, heard it all. He remembered the chicken leg with the teeth marks from a few days ago.
"Sorry to bother you." Zhang Yuan put down his chopsticks and spoke steadily.
The two people who were arguing stopped at the same time and turned to look at him.
"Director Li, Auntie, you two are worried that Xixi's physical condition will affect the performance."
"Sissi is now experiencing anorexia, right?"
The two nodded, not understanding the significance of Zhang Yuan's interruption at this time.
"In fact, I know a master who specializes in treating anorexia."
"What!" Liu Xiaoli's eyes widened in disbelief: "You know a doctor?" "Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine?"
"Uh..." Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It's a combination of Chinese and Western."
“Experienced?”
"A head full of white hair and a gray beard." Zhang Yuan gave a brief description.
White beard and white hair... He must be an old Chinese doctor, Liu Xiaoli thought.
"Why don't you give me the doctor's contact information and I'll take Xixi to see him."
"No, this doctor has a weird temper. I have to take Xixi with me."
Liu Xiaoli was in a dilemma.
It's not surprising. My daughter is so beautiful, so I have to be on high alert for fear that she might be abducted by someone with bad intentions.
"Sister Xiaoli, just let Zhang Yuan try. You don't have a better way, right?" After these days of contact, Li Dawei has an unconditional trust in Zhang Yuan.
Since the director said so, Liu Xiaoli had no choice but to agree.
The crew gave Zhang Yuan and Liu Xixi half a day off, and after lunch break he took Xixi away from the crew.
"Master, let's go to the city." Zhang Yuan led Xixi into a taxi.
"Zhang Yuan, you won't take me to some weird place for medical treatment, will you?" Xixi said with a bitter face: "I feel like vomiting when I see food now. Please don't let me take Chinese medicine anymore. I'm afraid of the bitterness."
"Chinese medicine is better than the food you usually eat."
"That's true." Xixi shook her head and looked out the window. Occasionally, without her mother around, she felt very relaxed.
Soon they arrived at the place, and Zhang Yuan led her to a house with a red exterior wall.
"You brought me here to see a doctor?" Liu Qianqian looked at the KFC in front of her, her mouth opening into an O shape.
"Just tell me if he has a white beard and white hair." Zhang Yuan said, pointing at Sanders' portrait.
The two of them entered the store, settled Xixi in an empty corner, and went to the front desk to order a family bucket.
In the early 00s, KFC was considered a high-end restaurant. A family bucket cost 59 yuan, while the average worker's monthly salary was only a few hundred to a thousand yuan.
The original chicken, chicken wings, corn cobs, mashed potatoes, and cola were spread out in front of Xixi, and the girl is still so shocked that her mouth is still open.
"Why, dislocated jaw?"
Zhang Yuan made a joke, but unexpectedly, Xixi, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly burst into tears.
woo woo woo...
You normally can't cry when you're filming, but when you saw some fried chicken you cried like a kitten whose milk was taken away. What a loser.
[Received thanks from Liu Xixi, appearance +5! ]
This is the first time I've seen this attribute... Zhang Yuan touched his face.
At this time, Xixi grabbed a piece of original chicken, took a big bite, and with a slurp, she rolled the whole piece of fried chicken skin into her mouth.
Suck... In less than a minute, a piece of chicken breast went down her stomach. Xixi sucked her fingers and picked up another piece.
The girl is hungry...Zhang Yuan saw how delicious she was eating and his appetite was aroused, so he reached out for the chicken wing.
Roar! ! !
But unexpectedly, Xixi twisted her face and made the sound of a puppy protecting its food. It was a good thing that he withdrew his hand quickly, otherwise he would have lost several fingers!
"Here." Xixi handed him the corn cob.
"Thank you... Oh, no, it seems like I paid for it." Zhang Yuan took it, put it aside, and watched her eat with one hand on his chin.
What anorexia? Just follow Liu Xiaoli’s diet, and everyone will suffer from anorexia!
Zhang Yuan had long realized that Xixi was not really anorexic, and the reason why she was in a bad state on the set and couldn't remember her lines was very simple.
hungry!
Why do office workers tend to gain weight easily? On the one hand, they use eating as a psychological compensation. On the other hand, without the energy provided by food, their brains cannot function!
A 14-year-old girl is still growing and developing. She eats boiled vegetables, boiled cabbage, boiled carrots, and boiled sea cucumbers every day. It would be a miracle if she can act well.
Like most parents, Liu Xiaoli wanted her son to be successful, but she obviously went too far.
After a hearty meal, Liu Qianqian burped and said, "How about we sneak out to eat fried chicken tomorrow?"
"Pay attention to your image." Zhang Yuan handed her a tissue and asked her to wipe her shiny little mouth.
"It's impossible to eat it every day. Once your mother finds out, forget about it."
"Then... how about once a week?" Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes: "Today is Thursday, next Thursday we will pretend to see a doctor and go out to eat chicken!"
"Okay, then there will be a Crazy Thursday every week from now on."
