Jonathan had just mustered up his emotions when Alex's noisy voice interrupted, "He's turning green, he's turning green!"
The group couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
Jonathan's emotions came to a halt, and Niki laughed out loud, clutching her blanket.
The director snapped his fingers and turned around to look at the green parrot with a puzzled expression.
Alex quickly grabbed Susie's hair clip and said, "Shut up! Shut up!”
Susie hushed him and pinched Alex's mouth shut. "Alex, don't make noise," she said.
Alex obediently let Susie pinch his bird beak shut and remained silent.
The set became busy again, with Niki changing clothes and the props team restoring the door.
While getting her makeup done, Susie asked, "Big Sister Niki, why did you... umm... press that brother down on the bed like that? Are you going to fight? Why do you tear clothes when fighting?"
Mrs. Alana remained silent. Children were naturally curious, with no ulterior motives, and simply wanted to know the reason.
But this was enough to be a headache... Niki hesitated. How could she explain this?
The drama "July Half" was not a spy drama, but rather a melodrama set in the Republican era. It was adapted from the novel "One Night of Deep Affection, the Marshal's Fifth Aunt Greened Him Again."
The male lead, Oscar, was a warlord marshal, and the female lead, Alicia, was a rogue who swindled, tricked, and cheated people.
The marshal was especially attracted to the female lead, and forcefully married her as his fifth aunt.
The female lead was not subservient and thought the marshal was despicable, crazy, and overbearing... anyway, she just wanted to escape from him...
The drama included the female lead's supernatural tricks, scaring away the Japanese invaders, using her wit to make the marshal lose, and even relying on her halo to save the underground activity's informants time and time again...
The male lead was initially just interested in the female lead, but gradually was attracted to her kindness, wisdom, and cuteness.
The female leads also gradually discovered the male lead's patriotism and lofty aspirations...
In the end, the two fell in love and bravely tore apart the Japanese invaders together in a thrilling and magnificent way.
July Half was not only the best month for the female lead's supernatural tricks, but it was also in this month that the underground station's informants who were working tirelessly to save the country completed their mission and established a great organization.
Just now, the scene was the underground intelligence officer being surrounded by the Japanese soldiers.
The female lead pretended to sleep with him to cover up for him.
The male lead was angry, but he knew her poor acting couldn't fool the Japanese soldiers.
So, he decided to play along and staged a scene of catching the adulterous couple in the act.
Niki couldn't help but start her 178th complaint, "The female lead has the intelligence of a ghost.
Without her halo, she would have died 180 times by now."
"Just, just for... um, that's it!" Niki explained vaguely.
Susie broke the pot and asked, "For what?"
Niki replied, "To... fight against the Japanese soldiers. That's why we did it."
Susie still didn't understand.
Jonathan explained, "That brother was about to be caught by the Japanese soldiers.
To protect him, Niki was going to hide him in the bed and pretend to sleep.
But to sleep, you need to wear pajamas.
Niki didn't have time to change into pajamas, so she just wanted to change clothes quickly."
Susie finally understood and looked at the little soldier in the green helmet. There was indeed a ghost behind him.
"So, I get it! Uncle Jonathan, why did you kick the door and look angry?" Susie asked again.
Jonathan replied casually, "Because your fourth uncle likes your sister Niki and misunderstood that she likes that brother. So, he was angry and kicked the door."
Susie said that she understood completely this time.
Niki laughed and didn't think there was anything wrong with what Jonathan said.
He just wanted Susie to understand the plot better, so he used the names of the main characters directly.
Colette, who was standing next to them, was not thinking the same thing.
She was jealous when she heard Jonathan's words.
Teacher Murray, who she liked, actually publicly said that he liked Niki!
Damn it, Niki only just met Jonathan because of this drama.
And Niki was just promoted as a newcomer, who previously only acted in cheesy time-travel dramas.
She and Jonathan were from the same company from the beginning.
When Jonathan signed with Holy Grail Entertainment, she followed suit. At the time of signing, her agent said she had the most potential...
She worked so hard to catch up to Jonathan, but Niki used dirty tactics to steal him away.
What a disgraceful act!
For a while, Colette lowered herself because she knew Niki was the female lead, but she never expected Niki to take advantage of the situation like this.
Colette clenched her fists, waiting for the perfect opportunity to get revenge.
The rest of the scene went smoothly, with the female lead sacrificing her innocence to protect the intelligence officer, and the male lead pretending to catch them in the act to cover for her.
But he was truly angry.
Not only did he bring the female lead back, but he also arrested the intelligence officer.
He claimed that he beat the intelligence officer to death and fed him to the dogs.
The female lead believed this and cursed the male lead as a traitor.
The male lead was angry because he had to act out the entire scene and was genuinely upset that the female lead had contact with the intelligence officer.
He personally whipped the female lead and then gave her medicine when she passed out.
Kaliyah, jealous of the female lead, came to set specific rules and slapped her twice while she couldn't get out of bed.
The scene in front of them was Kaliyah slapping the female lead, which Colette was playing.
The director looked at the monitor in surprise and said, "Colette has a strong explosive force.
She played this scene of jealousy and revenge very well! The emotions were just right!"
Then, the director said, "Hmm... zoom in on Jonathan's waist and film the fragrant bag he's carrying."
Jonathan, a tough general, was carrying a fragrant bag around his waist.
He had tied it tightly, afraid of losing it.
This detail showed his attentiveness and deep affection. The director admired Jonathan very much for thinking of this.
Susie remained silent.
She didn't understand what the adults were doing. Why did Uncle Jonathan have several aunts? Why didn't they just say they liked each other? Why did they have to hit people?
The little one shook their head and said, "It's not good. I want to watch the hand-to-hand combat with the ghosts."
The director couldn't help but chuckle and looked at Susie, who was sitting on a small stool.
The little one was so cute, even though they were dressed all in green.
Despite being in green, they were still adorable and didn't feel out of place.
The director flipped through the script and said to the people next to him, "Get ready. The next scene will be the hand-to-hand combat with the ghosts."
Susie suddenly became excited!
Great! Finally, it's time for the ghosts' scene!
