The live stream chat was full of comments, but Su Zhou immediately noticed the message after the other party sent a gift. Checking the private messages, she found it was about a movie shoot—a supernatural film centered around demons. They noticed the snow fox at the zoo was in good condition and wanted to borrow it for the film.

Su Zhou thought about it and realized that this matter was indeed entirely beneficial.

However, there are quite a few movies featuring animals, such as Hachiko. Some film crews rent other people's pets to shoot commercials and movies, but news of animals being abused or killed comes out from time to time. Su Zhou is very worried that similar things might happen.

The other party repeatedly assured that nothing would happen to the snow fox and that Su Zhou could monitor the snow fox's condition at any time.

Su Zhou was relieved; the production team had offered her a decent salary.

She glanced at the film crew's name, "Qingqiu," and immediately understood—it was probably another movie about fox spirits. Foxes have always been a popular theme in Chinese movies and TV series. The snow fox they bought from the zoo was indeed in good condition, pure white, with an almost divine air about it. Many tourists standing in front of the snow fox felt like they had become King Zhou.

After exchanging personal contact information with the "Qingqiu" production team, Su Zhou continued her live stream. Ahei finished painting a landscape painting in a melancholy mood.

The brushstrokes may not be professional-level, but the performer is a real chimpanzee.

The scene was somewhat heartwarming. Rough, black-haired paws deftly gripped the paintbrush as Su Zhou streamed live on her phone. The live stream was filled with constant exclamations of disbelief. After Ahei finished painting the winter snow scene, the live stream was flooded with special effects, and some of Ahei's loyal fans even gifted him the most expensive musical note.

The gift effect lasted for several seconds.

The live stream garnered around ten million virtual coins, which is quite impressive considering it was a weekday and the stream was held in the morning. Regardless of which of Wanling's live streams, the video completion rate and the number of followers were both high; very few people left immediately after entering the stream, and most stayed to watch for a while.

"Ahei, have some fruit to whet your appetite." Su Zhou took out the fruit she had prepared earlier, which was already washed.

Early-developing chimpanzees behave somewhat like humans; they absolutely will not eat fruit if it is not washed.

She stared into Ahei's light brown eyes as he quietly ate fruit.

The fruit is still very fresh; Su Yunhai specially arranged for it to be delivered yesterday. He sent several kinds of fruit and specifically told Su Yunhai it was for Ahei. Wang Xingyue really likes Ahei; Su Zhou has seen her like and comment on videos more than once.

I never expected that my parents' favoritism would go to a chimpanzee.

After leaving the chimpanzee enclosure and seeing Ahei, a layer of frost gradually accumulated on the ground. This did not affect the flowers in the flowerbeds; on the contrary, it added a unique beauty.

Weather conditions usually affect the number of visitors to the zoo. Su Zhou originally thought that the number of visitors to the zoo today would be reduced by at least half, but she didn't expect that there would be one or two hundred people wandering around the zoo early in the morning.

The snow and ice did not dampen people's enthusiasm. Visitors went their separate ways. The zoo now has a large area and has unlocked more kinds of animals, making it much more interesting to see than before. The Wanling Zoo in the snow and ice has a unique charm.

"Let's have hot pot tonight, Principal. We'll go buy some shrimp paste or something after get off work. Xia Zhi is from Sichuan, he knows how to make authentic hot pot broth." Song Xinran finished dressing. Since she was on duty indoors, the temperature wasn't too low, and the outdoor temperature was a constant 26°C.

Su Zhou gave an OK sign.

I arranged to meet with the cast and crew of "Qingqiu", and someone was already standing at the door in the afternoon.

Snow had settled on his clothes and hair, and his nose was red from the cold: "The car couldn't drive up, so I walked. It's so cold today. I haven't experienced such cold weather in a long time."

He was panting as he looked at Su Zhou, stunned by her beauty.

With a delicate nose and flawless skin, her features were perfectly proportioned on her oval face. Her face was both ethereal and beautiful, seemingly understated yet strikingly striking. As someone working in the entertainment industry, his professional instincts kicked in. He rummaged in his coat pocket for a while before pulling out a business card and handing it to Su Zhou: "Hello, I'm Meng Huan, the director of 'Qingqiu.' We think your appearance is perfect for one of our roles. Would you be interested in auditioning?"

"I'm sorry, I'm the zoo director, so I probably can't audition. You're here to see the fox, right?" Su Zhou was used to her appearance and didn't feel anything about others focusing on her face.

Meng Huan awkwardly touched her nose: "Yeah, let's take a look at the snow fox."

"I've seen your zoo online more than once, and I've always liked it. I especially like the chimpanzee named Ahei. The video that netizens edited of Ahei practicing swordsmanship was quite interesting."

If we're talking about which industries are relatively secretive, the entertainment industry also has people who do business.

As soon as Meng Huan stepped into the Wanling Zoo, he felt the cold outside instantly shut out, replaced by physical comfort. He felt all the chill and fatigue vanish. Even in the heavy snow, he could see flowers blooming proudly. He had a keen eye and had traveled extensively, so he knew a lot about the place. He even had many rare and precious flowers and plants in his own villa. He would feel the pinch just to buy one of them, let alone all of them here. It must have cost him a fortune.

He usually rewards himself by making an art film after making a commercial film, and he has even made films with box office revenue of over 10 billion. He has a good reputation and is definitely one of the richest directors. Even so, he has to be determined to buy some expensive flowers and plants. The problem is that the flowers and plants he cherishes are everywhere in this zoo.

Not only are they ubiquitous, but they also grow so well without any special care.

The expression on Su Zhou's face instantly turned one of awe. What kind of family could afford to be so composed? How wealthy must they be to remain so calm and collected? No wonder those silly netizens online keep saying that the director of Wanling Zoo is definitely a potential rich kid.

He initially scoffed, thinking it was just some new marketing tactic, but now it seems there might actually be some truth to it.

"Director Su, the temperature in our zoo is very comfortable. Is there any equipment you have? Could you tell me about it? To be honest, filming in the dead of winter is very difficult for the actors. If we had this kind of equipment, everyone would suffer less." Meng Huan hadn't stopped looking around since arriving at the zoo. Of course, he noticed the incredibly comfortable temperature as soon as he entered the zoo, like a spring breeze, which was extremely comfortable.

Meng Huan is very strict with herself, her staff, and her artists. She avoids using special effects whenever possible when filming movies or TV series, and she absolutely refuses to use green screens when she can shoot on location. She doesn't try to fool the audience, which makes many artists complain. Those who can't ride a horse have to learn from scratch.

Can Su Zhou say this is some kind of black technology from the system? Definitely not.

"Haha, this is an air conditioner. There are a lot of air conditioners, and installing them is quite troublesome." Su Zhou casually changed the subject to gloss over the matter, afraid that the other party would press for details, and directly led the people to the Snow Fox Pavilion.
