  Zhang Dongcheng frowned, and said solemnly: "Adaman, these children are very unfortunate to be orphans, I think we can't be stingy about this!"

  Adaman froze for a moment, then quickly changed his mind, nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay, you have the final say! I will pay those children for group performances as usual, and count it as improving their food!"

   "This is the best!" The location of the next shot was settled, and Zhang Dongcheng was relieved a lot. He shot some more shots in the interior of the spacecraft to avoid omissions in the future, resulting in incoherent plots and rework.

   After all this was completed, the time was delayed by four or five days.

  In the last few days of late February, Zhang Dongcheng finally brought the crew to this orphanage on the fifth floor.

   This orphanage is very old, and it was built during World War II. The original site is on the site of this building.

   Later, due to urban reconstruction, the land of the orphanage was bought by a developer at a high price, which made the orphanage relocate to the current unit-like site.

   After inspecting the site with Adaman, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but feel that this place is more like the living environment of an expert who lives in a hermit in the city than in the original book. It is indeed very suitable for filming scenes of prophets.

  After meeting with the director of the orphanage, the members of the Matrix crew began to arrange the filming location in this small orphanage with only a few suites.

  All the members of this orphanage, including the director, are less than twenty people. The children are big and small.

   Soon, Zhang Dongcheng's eyes fell on a little Chinese boy without hair and eyebrows, his face showed an abnormal paleness. He looks sick, but his eyes are bright.

  The moment he saw this boy, Zhang Dongcheng suddenly felt that he was the most suitable boy to play the role in the plot, the boy who could bend and twist the spoon at will, and remind Neo that the spoon didn't exist!

  But why is this child like this? What about his hair and eyebrows? Why not?

   While the crew members were busy setting the scene, Zhang Dongcheng found the director again.

  The dean is a black unmarried woman in her thirties. Her name is Delia, and she is a devout Christian. He has dedicated his life to the church of faith, and has been the head of the orphanage for almost ten years.

  Although Zhang Dongcheng himself does not believe in God, he also maintains absolute respect for this kind of woman who has a firm belief and has persisted for decades.

  Miss Dilia has short hair that reaches her ears and a round face. When she smiles, she looks very kind. As the director of the orphanage, her good character is very popular among these children.

   "Miss Dilia! May I ask what happened to that Chinese kid?" Zhang Dongcheng asked his own doubts.

"Oh! Do you mean Abel? He is a child with a congenital defect, suffering from congenital leukemia. He was thrown out of the orphanage a year ago." Miss Delia's tone was a little heavy Said.

   Zhang Dongcheng felt a little pity in his heart. This child is only a few years old, but he is suffering from such an incurable disease. It must be because of this reason that his parents abandoned him.

After learning about Abel's situation from Ms. Dilia, Zhang Dongcheng walked up to the little boy. Seeing him staring at the crew with great interest after busy work, Zhang Dongcheng felt moved and said: "Abel. Do you like movies?"

  Abel turned his head. Although his face was pale and bloodless due to leukemia, and his spirit was a little sluggish, his eyes were unusually clear and bright.

  After looking Zhang Dongcheng up and down, Abel's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded, and replied, "I like it! Uncle, are you the director?"

   "How do you know?" Zhang Dongcheng asked curiously.

   "I just heard someone call you Director Smith!" Abel explained.

   Zhang Dongcheng smiled, stretched out his hand to touch the top of Abel's bald head, and said, "Abel, do you want to participate in the filming of the movie yourself and play a role?"

   "Yeah!" Abel nodded vigorously, and then his mood suddenly became depressed. He said dejectedly: "But my body is sick."

"It's okay!" Zhang Dongcheng comforted the little boy with a smile, and said, "Uncle can arrange a very easy role for you. As long as Abel's performance satisfies Uncle, then Uncle will let you participate. How about it?" ?”

It was Zhang Dongcheng’s whim to choose this boy named Abel to play the role of the person who gave Keanu advice. Zhang Dongcheng didn’t know much about leukemia, but he knew very well that people with this disease are almost impossible to be cured. possible.

   That is to say, Abel will not live a few years old. What Zhang Dongcheng wanted was to use the film to leave evidence that he had come to this world. And this little guy likes movies so much, and his appearance is similar to the little guy in the original play.

   "Really?" Abel's eyes became brighter.

  Zhang Dongcheng is very curious, why does a seriously ill child have such bright eyes that seem to penetrate people's hearts?

  Even if Abel's acting skills are poor, his amazing eyes alone can perfectly interpret the role of that boy.

   Instructed the crew to take Abel to change clothes.

   When he appeared in front of Zhang Dongcheng again, looking at this young guy with a bald head and a monk's robe, he couldn't help feeling that this little guy was a natural fit for the role in the script.

  His extremely bright eyes are so amazing, it feels incredible. Abel, who was wearing a monk's robe, had an aura like a living Buddha in Tibet. Of course, it may not be appropriate to use temperament to describe this child who doesn't understand anything.

  But Zhang Dongcheng couldn't find a more suitable adjective. Perhaps because of the incurable disease of leukemia, Abel naturally has a sense of seeing through the world.

"Abel, come here and sit down!" Under Zhang Dongcheng's command, Abel sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a long-handled metal spoon in his hand. In front of him were several twisted spoons. Metal spoon!

  After Zhang Dongcheng taught Abel patiently, he called Keanu to play for the child. As long as Abe is not an idiot with no talent at all, Zhang Dongcheng has already decided that he should be used for this role.

   "Let's get started!" Zhang Dongcheng ordered while standing beside the two with his hands folded.

   Keanu stared at Abel in amazement, as if he really saw him bend the spoon, and then he recovered it casually with his mind.

   After pausing for a while holding the spoon, Abel handed it to Keanu.

   Keanu took the spoon and sat cross-legged in front of Abel, stroking the flawless spoon with both hands, as if wondering why the spoon could be bent and straightened at will?

   "Don't try to bend the spoon! It's impossible!" Abel tilted his head slightly, with a childlike smile on his face, and explained vividly, "You have to try to see the truth!"

  In all fairness, a child as young as Abel has no acting skills at all, but his eyes are really amazing. Even Keanu Reeves was slightly absent-minded. But Keanu Reeves is an excellent actor after all, and he quickly entered the state, asking: "What is the truth?"

   "The spoon doesn't exist!" Abel tried to make a serious and serious expression, but it made people feel funny instead.

   "Excellent!" Zhang Dongcheng clapped his hands and said, "Abel, your performance is simply amazing!"

   "Really? Uncle Smith?" Abel looked at Zhang Dongcheng with hopeful eyes.

  Zhang Dongcheng squatted down, pinched Abel's pale but smooth face, and said affirmatively: "Yes! Uncle is the director, so he will definitely not lie to you! You have to trust Uncle!"

  Abel smiled broadly, and happily asked Zhang Dongcheng: "Uncle Smith, can I play this role?"

   "Of course! Abel is the most talented little actor I've ever seen. From now on, this role belongs to you!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded affirmatively, and hugged the little boy.

   Soon, the layout of the movie set was completed. The scene of this orphanage is similar to that of a martial arts school, and almost no major adjustments are needed, as long as the lighting and some layouts are changed, it can be used directly. So there wasn't much time wasted on the sets.

  After everything is packed, the camera and lighting engineers are also ready. The filming has finally started!

   After filming the conversation between Neo and Morpheus outside the door. Zhang Dongcheng called CUT in satisfaction. Then continue to shoot.

  Neo raised his hand, ready to unscrew the doorknob.

  But at this time, the door was opened from the inside. Zhang Dongcheng didn't give the role of the maid to the previous actor, because the actor couldn't communicate with the children in these orphanages at all. In desperation, Zhang Dongcheng had no choice but to let Miss Dilia comeo.

Anyway, this role is not very important, and Ms. Dilia has been taking care of the children, playing a maid is basically a true performance for her, but the acting skills are more exciting than the taste of the deduction People are more comfortable. appear more real.

   "Hello! Neo!" The maid played by Ms. Dilia did not disappoint Zhang Dongcheng. The moment the door was opened, Miss Delia showed an expression on her face as if she knew Keanu Reeves was coming.

  Miss Dilia said with a faint smile, "You are very punctual!"

  After saying this, she got out of the way. And reached out to signal Neo to come in.
