Little Taotie had already performed very well, but the director thought he could do better, so he shouted, "Let's do it again! Be more capricious, imagine many people like you, and they adore you!"
Little Taotie tried hard to imagine that many people liked him, and the practice actors also showed an especially doting affection towards him.
Yet, the director always felt something was slightly off.
What was it?
When he saw Little Taotie purse his lips, showing a faint dimple, he suddenly realized it.
Little Taotie's dimples didn't look natural!
They needed to be deeper to look natural and sweet!
"Don't smile, try not smiling." Since it couldn't be achieved, then try not doing it.
Little Taotie followed the director's instruction not to smile, his little face puffing up with air.
That actually looked more natural.
He looked like a child who was much loved, yet didn't know how to love others.
The director was finally satisfied, "Next scene!"
