Summary:

After taking a break from the show, Peipei was invited to go into battle again to serve in the new play “The Monkey King” of “Legendary Theatre”. With golden curly hair, sideburns, and a monkey costume with a red background and gold trim, Peipei dressed up as The Monkey King played by Sun Wukong is portrayed as a Monkey King who breaks through tradition. “The Monkey King” opens in a cloud of dust. Everyone present wore masks to keep their breathing smooth. The dust flying all over the sky, as fine as powder, created a realistic dust effect, but it confused everyone. The child couldn’t open his eyes, but Peipei still had to stare at the camera with wide eyes, acting out the scene of searching for someone in the desert. Peipei’s mother-in-law also insisted on not wearing a mask outside the scene, just to stabilize Peipei’s safety. Heart.

After eating a lot of sawdust, there was a scene where she was hanging on a wire to perform flying skills. Peipei was going back and forth between the ground and the three-story roof. NG finally succeeded several times. When she was hoisted to the roof with a “whoosh” At this time, the violent swings were shocking, but the always naughty Peipei still sent a proud expression to the ground from time to time. Peipei is ten years old and a fourth-grade student at Renai Elementary School. Schoolwork is heavier than before; therefore, before she took on this role, she made it a point to not delay her homework. Now, Peipei goes to school in the morning, and in the afternoon her grandmother goes to the TV studio to record.

Although filming took up half of Peipei’s normal class time, it never affected her grades; in every exam, her score in any subject would never be lower than 90 points. Peipei’s excellent grades have caused a wave of criticism in school, with some parents thinking that the teacher secretly added points. In order to verify the truth, the principal of Renai Elementary School specially selected a monthly exam and personally went to Pei Pei’s class to invigilate the exam. After the exam, he personally marked the papers on the spot. This cleared the teacher’s unjust injustice and proved Pei Pei’s innocence. Pei is indeed smarter than others. But Peipei did not rely on her intelligence to be lazy. Whenever she had free time in the studio, she would memorize the script and immediately immerse herself in her homework. Her textbooks and workbooks were always on the table in the dressing room.

Ask Peipei what do you want to do when you grow up? “I want to be a judge and judge the bad guys.” Isn’t it the same as being a lawyer? “No, I just want to be a judge.” With a determined look on her face, she could already predict that she would be an honest judge at such a young age. Peipei also likes to pretend to be a family drinker, but she always acts as a director, instructing her younger brother and other children to act, and she also writes the plot. Therefore, Peipei’s second wish is to become a director if not a judge. However, before fulfilling her wish, she decided to study well; recently, she had told her grandmother more than once that after finishing this drama, she did not want to take on other dramas for the time being and wanted to concentrate on studying.

Peipei is smart and has a super memory. She can never forget the script after reading it once. This often makes the staff who work with her highly praised. However, her naughty also makes her uncles lament that young women are difficult to deal with. At home, she is the leader of her younger brothers, and her four-year-old brother is completely loyal to her older sister. But this sister who has a strong desire to lead is often scolded by her mother. Because she often comes up with strange ideas and takes her brother to play “Martial Arts Tournament” together. Peipei is very good at playing with guns and swords. The most common single-player game she plays at home is martial arts training. In order to consume her extraordinary energy, Peipei’s mother also arranged extracurricular activities for her to practice piano, ballet and learn English.

Playing the role of the fierce and fierce Sun Wukong, Peipei is really good at playing the role, because she retains the innocence and cuteness of a child, and her extraordinary intelligence and sensibleness make her appear to be a bit worldly. From the beginning of the filming until now, because she has acted appropriately, her role in the film has invisibly increased a lot, and she is indispensable in almost every scene; with a little direction, Peipei can grasp the key points, and does not have to tire the staff to do it again and again; therefore, everyone loves her even more. Peipei’s father went to the United States for business three years ago and rarely had contact with his family. On weekdays, the Su family relied entirely on Mrs. Su’s management of the building materials store. Peipei saw that her mother worked hard all day long to raise her and her younger brother, so she comforted her mother more than once. He said, “After I finish college and make money, my mother will be able to live a comfortable life.” This sentence often moved Mrs. Su to tears.

Perhaps just to share the burden of her mother, she went to class during the day and went to the studio to record in the afternoon until late at night. She had to balance schoolwork and acting, and had to undertake many difficult stunts in the play, but Peipei never uttered a word of complaint, let alone frowned. , asked her if she could bear it? She said cheerfully, “I’m not tired at all, I’m fine!” At a young age, Peipei is meticulous in her acting, and her professionalism often makes other actors afraid to take it easy. It’s no wonder that producer Li Peng always appoints Peipei to play every role that has a prominent appearance and a heavy role.
