Chapter 72: The Cast of Actors

  P.S: Urgently seeking recommendation votes, it's been a bit dismal these past two days~

  Back at the residence, Tang Xiao and Shi Shi returned exhausted after a day of filming. She asked about Hu Ge's situation, and He Mu could only perfunctorily say "He's fine, the surgery was very successful."

  Hearing that the operation was very successful, Shi immediately changed into a good mood and asked him what he would eat tonight.

  At this time, it was probably only Shi Shi, this heartless and ruthless foodie, who could make him feel a little better. He Mu smiled and suddenly felt that something was missing in the room, "Huh? Where are Zhang Xiaobin and the others? Aren't they recording anymore?"

  Shi pointed at the camera in front of her: "The machine is on, they've gone to watch a movie, 'Night Banquet'. Old Zhang told us to take it ourselves."

  "Aren't they in a master-disciple relationship? Are you going to learn from Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden?" He Mu cried out in laughter.

  "Lao Zhang is only eight years older than Tongtong, and Lao Zhang is also a honest person. Plus, they've been living together for days, what's strange about falling in love?"

  He Mu looked at Shi Shi and said: "It seems like we've been living together for a long time too."

  "We're not the same, you already have..." Po's words trailed off as she glanced at the camera, then leaned in close to He Mu and whispered "You already have Zi Yun, of course we're not the same."

  Shi Shi knew that He Mu had a girlfriend, but he kept it a secret from the company. He didn't want to expose Zi Lin's sister to the public either. Although Shi Shi didn't think it was a big deal and the company wouldn't force them to break up, since He Mu didn't want anyone to know, as the only person in the know, Shi Shi naturally had to keep the secret.

  When Shi Shi mentioned Zhi Lin, He Mu couldn't help but think of her and wonder when she would come to Magic City. Seeing He Mu lost in thought, Shi Shi reminded him "I'm hungry".

  He Mu walked up to the camera on the shelf, took it down, and then pointed it at Shi Shi: "If you want to eat, cook it yourself."

  "But I won't, will I?" Shi Shi stood up and dodged the camera.

  "Don't run," He Mu followed up, "In the play, you also have to cook, now is a good time to learn, I'll teach you on the side."

  "It's better not to, even my mom couldn't teach me."

  "Then I'll teach you on behalf of your mother, otherwise in the future when you're away from me, will you still know how to eat?"

  "Oh." Shi Shi obediently put on her apron, just as Mo Shuo had said. How could he possibly always cook for himself? Even his mom wouldn't be able to accompany him forever; one day she would have to live on her own.

  "Shall we make a simple dish today, scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" He Mu asked, holding the camera.

  "Should I stir-fry tomatoes first or eggs first?"

  "Scramble the eggs first, then stir-fry the tomatoes, and finally add the scrambled eggs to the tomatoes and stir-fry together."

  He Mu explained step by step, then let Shi Shi operate by herself. Looking at her clumsy and busy appearance, He Mu felt a sense of pride. Now she knows that cooking isn't that easy, right?

  While urging Po to make tomato scrambled eggs, He Mu was also studying the use of cameras. He had read several books on photography, all introduced by Wang Mingfei. Before that, he had only practiced with his own DV camera, and this large equipment was still a first touch, so he couldn't help but try it out, sometimes using long shots, sometimes close-ups, and recalling those classic shots in classic films. Undoubtedly, his level was far from good, and there was still much room for improvement.

  After several small failures and mistakes, Shi Shi finally successfully completed her first tomato scrambled eggs in her life, with a heart full of pride, although the dish didn't look very pretty. Seeing He Mu working hard to take pictures for himself, Shi Shi said generously: "This is my first successful stir-fry, let you have it."

  He Mu shook his head like a rattle drum, "I'm going to record it, you eat by yourself, be brave." Little guy, thinking of scheming against me, no way.

  Shishi let out a sigh, "I originally wanted to share with you, but you didn't appreciate it. Forget it, I'll just eat it all by myself... Hmm, it's really delicious, I didn't expect that I actually have a talent for cooking."

  "Is it really just a humble appearance with gold and jade inside?" Although the dish looked unappetizing, seeing Shi eating with relish made it seem not bad after all. He set up his camera and also ran over, "Let me have a taste."

  Shi Shi protected the plate, "You're not eating, are you? Hey, don't grab it, leave some for me."

  "It's okay," after taking a bite, it wasn't as bad as He Mu had imagined, and it was barely passable. He Mu took credit for himself, thinking that all of this was because of his good teaching, "Girl, I'll teach you another famous dish, potato stir-fry with horse hoof taro, do you want to learn?"

  ——————

  The next day, He Mu went online and saw a news report that the female lead of "Living with Flight Attendants" had been exposed. When he opened it, he found it was a set of secretly taken photos. In addition to the production team, there was also a beautiful woman wearing a flight attendant uniform in the photo. However, this beauty was not Liu Shi Shi, but Tang Yan. As a result, Tang Yan appeared again in people's sight after becoming an Olympic darling in 2004. Her previous resume was dug up and there were heated discussions online. This should be the company's publicity strategy, confusing people with fake flight attendants. I estimate that soon Shi Shi will also be exposed.

  After resting for more than a day, Ruan Jing and Lele's scenes were almost finished, and then it was Lu Fei and Ruan Jing's turn. The director first arranged a scene to be shot on an airplane. The plane was a Boeing passenger plane from China Southern Airlines that was currently resting, and they had three hours to complete the shoot. This time, Shi Shi's professional level as a flight attendant was being tested. Fortunately, a week of intense training allowed her to easily get into character, and apart from a few extras, all the other flight attendants on the plane were real ones - excellent employees of China Southern Airlines who could correct Shi Shi's mistakes and ensure that the shoot went smoothly.

  After finishing the part on the plane, the crew quickly moved to a large supermarket. The security guards had already cordoned off a small area to prevent customers from affecting the filming. This scene is about Lu Fei wandering around the supermarket when he was spotted by Ruan Jing, who then pulled him in as a human shield and drove away her ex-boyfriend who wanted to get back together after being dumped. The requirement for this ex-boyfriend role was that he had to be exceptionally handsome, even more so than Lu Fei, because it was only a one-time appearance, the company invited a big-name star to make a guest appearance.

  Huang Xiaoming arrived at the filming location under the guidance of the crew members. After exchanging greetings with old friend Jiang Jiajun, He Muxi and others also came over to greet him. He is currently filming "The Deer and the Cauldron", having shaved his head, so he wore a beanie to cover it, plus sunglasses that covered half of his face, making it hard to recognize him if you didn't look closely.

  With the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Hero", Huang Xiaoming rose from a second-tier actor to a first-tier idol, and is now extremely popular. Because Director Chiang had collaborated with him on "Maiden in Love", they have some connections, plus the temptation of Tiger Wolf Film's high salary, Huang Xiaoming agreed to take half a day off during filming in Yangzhou to make a guest appearance, but actually only spent an hour filming and left immediately after finishing, rushing back to Yangzhou, as Zhang Da Hu Zi is strict.

  The next day, the newspaper reported on Huang Xiaoming's guest appearance in "Air Stewardess" with the headline "Farewell Little Dragon Girl, Welcome Divine Eagle Hero". Some netizens lamented that if Liu Yifei hadn't quit, they would have been able to see Long'er and Guo'er appear in the same drama again. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.

  At the same time, a group photo of He Mu, Huang Xiaoming, and Shi Shi working together on set was also made public. As Shi Shi is relatively unknown, many people asked who this girl was.

  Liu Shishi's personal information was soon exposed, a native of Beijing, graduated from Northern Dance, and became the female lead as soon as she debuted. She starred in "Moon Shadow Wind Lotus", "Lu Xiaofeng", "Young Yang Family General" and signed with Tiger Wolf Film and Television. The latest news is that she will star as Mu Nianci, the second female lead in Tang Ren's "The Legend of the Condor Hero", but due to Hu Ge's injury, work has been suspended.

  Is she the real Yan Jing? Such voices appeared online, but there were also differing opinions, thinking that she didn't wear a flight attendant uniform, so Tang Yi was more likely. After this discussion continued for several days, more photos from the drama team flowed out, including a photo of Shi Shi and Tang Tang wearing flight attendant uniforms together, a photo of Tang Tang and He Mu together, as well as a group photo of the three, making the incident even more confusing, with each side having its own supporters.

  However, as more stills were exposed, the debate was settled in favor of Shi Shi. In the end, Hu Wu Company issued a statement confirming that Liu Shi Shi played Ruan Jing and Tang Yi played Le Le, Ruan Jing's best friend. The discussion that had been troubling people for over half a month finally came to an end, and the popularity of newcomers Shi Shi and Tang Tang also soared, with their prospects looking very promising.

  As the plot unfolds, more and more actors join the crew. The boss of Lufei Company is played by Zhang Jiaxuan, a powerful male star. The actress who plays Lu Xiaoxiao, Lu Fei's younger sister, is named Lin Yuan. She once played the role of young Xu Jingyi in Xu Jingyi's "A Letter from an Unknown Woman" and played the role of Sun Honglei's daughter in last year's hit drama "Halfway Couple". The company originally wanted to invite Shu Chang, but she had to film "The Deer and the Cauldron" and take care of her university studies at the same time, so she declined. Later, the company chose Lin Yuan, who was born in 1989 and has a temperament that fits Lu Xiaoxiao.

  It's also worth mentioning that Yang Mi, who has been in the spotlight recently, announced that she will be playing a role in "Flight Attendant", adding to the speculation about her relationship with Hawick Lau after she publicly supported him earlier.

  Apart from the above actors, Lu Fei's parents are played by national first-class actors Gao Ming and Pan Hong, while Ran Jing's single mother is played by the equally famous Qi Mei Juan. Although they have not officially appeared on stage yet and their roles are not many, the news of these three old drama bones joining the crew immediately triggered re-transmission reports, and people also praised the big pen of Hu Lu Shadow Visual Culture. After all, actors are more expensive as they get older, and the older they get, the more they can hold the scene. With these three old drama bones, CCTV will probably rush to buy this film.

  Tian Di Xuan Huang company, Li Wen Hua is waiting for the first week sales feedback of "Ming Dynasty Those Things · Yi", possibly because he has more money in his hands this time, he took a bit of risk, the first print run was 200,000 copies. To know that "Air Stewardess" which was a huge hit online and sold over 200,000 copies in half a year, still borrowed from the TV series' popularity. But he actually printed 200,000 copies of a history book, he's getting a bit anxious, hopefully this time his decision is correct...
