Duan Nianzhuang sat in front of a barbecue grill, on which were placed various ingredients such as chicken wings and oysters.
With the flair of a master chef, he picked up the spice brush, brushed it, flipped it over, and instantly the air was filled with an enticing aroma.
This attracted a few hungry people.
Director Wei, holding a drink, stood in front of the barbecue grill with his hands on his hips. "Nianzhuang, are your chicken wings ready yet?"
When Director Wei was setting up the projector, he had already noticed the giant chicken wing in front of Duan Nianzhuang.
Duan Nianzhuang paused in brushing on the seasonings, then pretended not to hear.
"Nianzhuang, your cooking skills are truly impressive, you've definitely practiced. Are the chicken wings ready yet?"
Very well, yet another person has come to Duan Nianzhuang with their eyes on those chicken wings.
Amidst the smoke and flames, Duan Nianzhuang helplessly raised his head and said, "You guys hurry up and go to Brother Xuan's place! These chicken wings are for Sister Yan Yu."
Ever since Xu Yanyu won over Duan Nianzhuang with her acting skills, Duan Nianzhuang has started calling her "sister" without me even realizing it.
A few days ago, when Director Wei announced the organization of a barbecue, he volunteered to serve Sister Yan Yu wholeheartedly in order to repay her for her guidance during this period.
Therefore, even if Director Wei wanted to eat the chicken wings that Sister Yan Yu had specifically requested, Duan Nianzhuang refused.
It's not like he's the only one with a grill; there's Chang Xuan next door, the assistant director next door, and the other staff members next door.
Everyone has one.
Director Wei straightened his back even more and said with a chuckle, "Does Chang Xuan's mess look like something that can be baked into an edible form? You only remember Yan Yu?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Just then, Chang Xuan's hearty cough came from the side.
Then Tao Mimi exclaimed in alarm, "The fire's out! The fire's out! Quickly add more charcoal!"
"We can't add any more... We need to add the seasoning." Chang Xuan's face was covered in soot, and he was still looking for the seasoning container.
If he couldn't find it, he would go to Duannianzhuang to look for it.
Duan Nianzhuang glanced at Xu Yanyu, who was still standing not far away, lying in a rocking chair, sucking on a coconut.
Sister Yan Yu was clearly waiting for his barbecue. How could I let Sister Yan Yu down for the sake of Director Wei?
Duan Nianzhuang decisively said, "Director Wei, Brother Xuan said that we should first give thanks to you! I won't compete with Brother Xuan for this credit."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out two disposable tableware from the box below, piled the oysters, chicken wings and other food on top into them, and then ran off towards Xu Yanyu.
Director Wei looked at the empty barbecue grill and said irritably, "You keep calling out 'Sister Yan Yu' and 'Sister Yan Yue' all the time... why don't you ever call anyone else?"
At this moment, Chang Xuan brought his dark-colored food to Director Wei. "Director Wei, have you been waiting long? Here, have a taste of my freshly baked chicken leg!"
"Thank you so much. Take this to the assistant director; he said he's really looking forward to your big chicken leg."
After Director Wei finished speaking, he also chased after Duan Nianzhuang.
Before he even got close, he heard Duan Nianzhuang talking incessantly next to Xu Yanyu.
"Sister Yan Yu, would it be better if I added some chili to these oysters?"
Would you like some minced garlic and chili? I prepared it especially for you.
"Sister Yanyu, you should eat this chicken wing quickly, a lot of people want it, but I won't give it to them!"
...
Xu Yanyu held a skewer of grilled food in her hand, slowly took a bite, and exclaimed, "Nianzhuang, your skills are so good that you could open a shop anywhere."
"Hehe, although my acting skills are so-so, my cooking skills are top-notch. Sister Yan Yu, I'll cook you something delicious again next time." Duan Nianzhuang was delighted.
He finally has something useful to offer, something to repay Sister Yan Yu's kindness in educating him.
"Yan Yu, are you getting ready to get on the recliner?" Director Wei walked over and teased Xu Yan Yu with a smile when he saw her leisurely appearance.
Xu Yanyu stood up and said to Director Wei, "Director Wei, would you like some barbecue? Nianzhuang's cooking is pretty good."
Director Wei picked up one of the large chicken wings without hesitation. "Eat up! Two chicken wings. Nianzhuang will remember you."
Xu Yanyu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this teasing remark.
She said, "Those were the meals I ordered for him before. He probably remembered what he promised me, so he brought them all over."
Duan Nianzhuang scratched his head, put the baking tray on the table next to him, and was about to run away.
He realized that Director Wei wanted to tease him.
Director Wei grabbed him and said, "Why are you running away! The drama has officially started airing. Sit down and watch, see what the audience thinks."
Xu Yanyu ran to her RV parked next to her and brought out a few more coconuts.
Yes, once the money was in place, Xu Yanyu's luxury RV was delivered to the film studio last week.
During this period, Xu Yanyu would hide in the RV to rest during breaks from filming.
She also waved her hand and had her assistant, who had been there the day before, prepare a bunch of snacks and drinks for her.
Take the coconut in front of her, for example; once she had money, she only ate fresh ones.
Director Wei didn't stand on ceremony. After finding a seat, he opened a coconut, took a slow sip, and then took a bite of a chicken wing.
Other people who were busy also gathered around.
Director Wei invited everyone to sit down, saying, "This is a first for me since I started acting. Instead of staying at home watching TV, I'm watching the premiere of a TV series with my fellow actors and crew."
His words made everyone burst into laughter.
Xu Yanyu said, "This is also a first for us. The TV series is already on TV, and we're still filming."
"Yeah! If it weren't for today being the premiere of the TV series, we might still be working overtime tonight to finish filming," Zhang Ying remarked.
In the past, it was considered quite good if the TV series she filmed could be broadcast within a year.
So today's experience was also very new for Zhang Ying.
After chatting and laughing for less than five minutes, the theme song of "Love Through Lifetimes" started playing.
Chang Xuan remarked, "I've been listening to this song a lot lately, but I still don't get tired of it."
Chang Xuan wasn't the only one who felt the same way; Zhang Ying and others shared the same sentiment.
Director Wei plays this song, which Xu Yanyu recorded, on a large speaker every day.
But after listening to it for more than a week, no one felt annoyed.
Xu Yanyu smiled and said, "This song is worth listening to."
The songs she has are all classic tracks that have stood the test of time; the system won't release inferior ones.
Director Wei chuckled and said, "Quiet down! The comments are popping up. Go see what the audience is saying about your acting, and learn from it! Before filming tomorrow, let's review and make sure we don't make the same mistakes."
He specifically chose a video app that allows users to view live comments so that everyone could see the crowd's reactions in real time.
Soon, dozens of bullet comments appeared on the big screen.
[We've waited for it! We've waited for it! "Love Through Lifetimes"—a song you can listen to endlessly.]
Will Liu Jing appear in the first episode? I really want to see Liu Jing.
Yan Yu's singing is so beautiful; this theme song has been on repeat for me lately.
Duan Nianzhuang is so handsome! The makeup and styling in the production team look very meticulous; it's not the kind of cheap, shoddy work.
