On the day of the winter solstice, Shi Xirou went to Hengdian to visit her own crew. After the crew started filming, she would go there every weekend to take a look and ask questions, expressing her expectations and attention to it.
This time she did not come alone, but brought along the chefs from the company to prepare a delicious and hot meal of Warcraft meat dumplings and vegetarian three-fresh dumplings for everyone who had worked so hard on the filming.
The familiar and overbearing aroma, the magical beef that will never make you fat no matter how much you eat is here again!
"I don't need it," Xue Bingbing clasped her hands together and acted coquettishly towards Li Jinliang, "Brother Li, please give me a few more beef dumplings. I'm so skinny from starvation. I miss the delicious food you guys make and I want to go back to the company."
The dozen or so concubines and palace maids behind her followed her example and acted coquettishly and sweetly.
Li Jinliang added seven or eight more large dumplings to each of them in a daze.
The extras at the end of the line were looking forward to it, and as they smelled the rich aroma, their stomachs started growling with cravings.
“It smells so good.”
"I hope it's not my turn, the dumplings of the people in front of me are about to spill out."
"This crew is the most comfortable one I've ever been on. The food is good, with extra meals at random times. They even give you hot packs when it's cold. I heard from others that the rain pay and lying-in pay are higher than on other crews."
"Haha, me too. I thought those seafood were only for the directors and the main actors to eat. I didn't expect that I, who plays the father-in-law, could also eat it. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten a lobster."
"After all, this crew has money, they invested 200 million yuan."
"I've been on crews with 500 million yuan in investment, but the treatment here is nothing. Almost all the investment money has been distributed, and many scenes are shot indoors on green screens. Besides the meager salary we're supposed to receive, we get scolded daily, forced to stay up late with superstars who can't act, and still get no overtime pay. I'll be interviewing for whatever Huo Huang shoots, wherever it's filming."
"Me too."
As they were talking, Zeng Yang drove over on a tricycle with six large buckets of hot dumplings and called out, "If you haven't had any dumplings yet, come and line up here. Today is a festival, so everyone should enjoy the food. If you're not full, come and get some."
Extras swarmed forward.
Jiang Xiangyu was sweating all over while eating. She reached into her palace clothes, took out the heat pack, and put it on her skirt. "It's so hot that my back is sweating."
"Eat slowly, no one's competing with you."
"I'm just afraid Li Shaolang will suddenly yell 'action'. This guy's getting more and more obsessed with directing. He wants to finish filming the entire plot before New Year's Day. Does he think everyone is like Teacher Liu and Linglong? One can always get into the moment, the other never tires."
Linglong said calmly: "I feel fine, filming is not very tiring."
She had followed the Grand Palace Master into the palace several times. The empress's aura was much stronger than the emperor and empress dowager in the play. She only needed to imitate the Grand Palace Master's tone and expression to play the role of Yixiu well without much pressure.
Shi Xirou glanced at Linglong with a smile and teased, "Don't provoke her."
"Comparisons are frustrating," Jiang Xiangyu said with a droopy face, feeling hopeless. "It feels like I haven't even made it from the average science class to the top class yet, and the students in the liberal arts class next door are already overwhelming me and the top students in the top class. Xixi, did you know that when Ling Xiao and Ling Long played opposite each other, the Empress's aura often overshadowed the Emperor?"
Linglong: Forgive her for being too immersed in the role and thinking that she is the best.
Anke: "Boss, which party are you going to on New Year's Eve?"
"I'll follow you to Jiangnan TV."
It's funny to say that the company's singers went to different satellite TV stations to participate in the New Year's Eve Gala. Linglang and Linglong recorded CCTV's New Year's Eve Gala a few days ago, and they will also go to Jiangnan Satellite TV for live broadcast on the evening of December 31st to sing a few songs with the microphone on.
Zhuo Yang was invited by Nancheng TV to support, Storm Youth Group went to Xingcheng TV, and Shao Cheng has been in Songcheng TV in recent years.
For a small and new company, it is something to be very proud of (and brag about in marketing) when singers are invited by major TV stations shortly after their debut.
But Songcheng’s fans are quite dissatisfied because they are unhappy that their own people are going to other satellite TV stations to play and scold this and that.
Shi Xirou, who was scolded for nothing: ...
What could she do? The director of Songcheng TV was a relative of the Jiang family. Chu Xinyue didn't want to be on the same station with the people from Huohuang. Shao Cheng was an accident.
She doesn't care about Songcheng TV either, as other TV stations pay her much more.
It is not Songcheng TV that isolates Huohuang, but Huohuang that isolates Songcheng TV.
Besides, her Phoenix was invited by CCTV twice. Has anyone from FN ever performed on the Spring Festival Gala?
…
People spend 8,760 hours every year. In the blink of an eye, there are only the last 8 hours left in 2025.
Shi Xirou gave the leave note to Deng Wen and decided not to attend the college students' mental health education class tonight.
She asked for leave seriously from her counselor. Some of her classmates had already taken the high-speed rail to go out and have fun, but they still had to attend classes the night before New Year's Day, and it was a crappy class on mental health. They said that only by attending the class would they have psychological problems.
Shi Xirou said that she had no choice but to skip classes. If she didn't ask for leave, netizens would criticize her and add to the negative news.
Linglong, Linglang, and Enke arrived at Jiangnan TV first. Bai Yang didn't wait for Shi Xirou and ran away with Zhang Yiwei and Zhangsun Wuyou. "You and Rong Jian come together. I can't fit you here."
Why is there no room for her? Anjiu didn't go! Besides, does she take up a lot of space?
Ever since everyone found out that Rong Jian liked her, these people have been doing their best to act as wingmen, as if no one wanted her, and tried their best to match her with Rong Jian.
Shi Xirou saw Rong Jian's car at the gate of Songshan University and got into the back seat like a guilty thief. "Let's go."
Rong Jian handed her a cup of hot milk tea, with a faint smile on his face, "Do you really think of me as your driver?"
Listening to his clear and transparent voice like a spring falling on a stone wall, Shi Xirou's eardrums itched slightly, and she scratched the hair beside her ears uncomfortably, "What if my schoolmates misunderstand me? I don't have a boyfriend right now."
"Well, drink the milk tea while it's hot."
Shi Xirou took a sip of the sweet red jujube milk tea. Her expression couldn't help but look a little strange, and she wondered in her heart: He even knows about my menstrual period?
Rong Jian seemed to guess what she was thinking. He glanced at the rearview mirror and explained, "They were discussing what to eat tonight this morning. An Ke said you can't eat spicy food. I guess you might not be feeling well."
Shi Xirou felt relieved, as long as there were no surveillance cameras installed in her house.
"Wait a minute, when there's no one around, please stop. I'll sit in the front."
Rong Jian smiled and replied happily, "Okay."
After Shi Xirou sat in the passenger seat, she felt embarrassed to play with her phone and started to make conversation: "What a coincidence that day, your company's game and Linglong and the others' album were released on the same day."
"On purpose."
"Huh? So you guys are really riding on our Fire Phoenix's popularity."
"Well," Rong Jian freed one hand to change the car music, "Won't Mr. Shi give me a ride?"
"This is another price. Who are you going to let endorse the new game?"
"Who does Mr. Shi want to give it to?"
"As long as they're Fire Phoenix artists, any one will do. Let the marketing department decide. I don't understand the issues surrounding game endorsements."
As long as the money goes into her pocket.
