Chapter 351 Chapter 351
"I've been in Hong Kong long enough," Zhou Xiao said, his lips curled up. "I won't be joining the rest of the roadshow, but don't worry, Director Fang, I'll definitely get the promotional photos ready for you as soon as possible."
"Am I coveting your promotional photos?" Fang Xi suppressed her smile and glared at Zhou Xiao in a feigned anger. She wasn't really pushing him, though; she just felt a little sorry that Zhou Xiao was leaving so soon.
For example, in today's promotional photos, the actors unconsciously catered to Zhou Xiao's camera after entering the studio and starting shooting. This was enough to attract Fang Xi's attention in the monitoring room.
Even the young actors felt that today's filming was exceptionally smooth, as if they had returned to the feeling of filming on the set. Fang Xi, who was concentrating on examining each film in the background, naturally felt even more deeply.
She hadn't expected that in just a few days, Zhou Xiao had already completely dismantled the core of "Letter from Time and Space." Even when she specifically asked Fang Dong to come and help Zhou Xiao, she had never expected him to give her such a big surprise.
At this moment, Fang Xi's feelings towards Zhou Xiao were both the admiration of an elder looking at a younger one, and a spiritual satisfaction. This was the so-called perfect rapport. Although there was a significant age difference between them, their language on camera was seamless.
After hearing Fang Xi's words, Zhou Xiao rubbed his nose a bit sheepishly. But then he said solemnly, "Teacher Fang, when the movie comes out, I'll definitely bring my whole family to support you!"
“…”
At the entrance of a late-night salon in Hong Kong, Zhou Xiao and Director Fang chatted for a long time under the overhead lights in the quiet night. From filming to commercial shoots, the two of them couldn't stop talking about their shared experiences.
For Fang Xi, this was a long-awaited encounter with young minds. For Zhou Xiao, this night of detailed discussions also benefited her greatly.
…
The next afternoon, Zhou Xiao said goodbye to everyone and boarded a plane to leave Hong Kong. Her destination was, of course, the film and television studio she had previously agreed upon with her friends.
Arriving from the airport to the film and television city, Zhou Xiao's first feeling was bustling! Today's film and television city is almost as crowded as during the peak tourist season. Everywhere you look, you see tour groups holding small flags queuing up at the entrance of the film and television city to check in.
March is the busiest time for film and television cities. Zhou Xiao knows from the circle of friends of some crew members he had added before that during this period, there are about seven or eight crews coming to finish filming every day.
The start and wrap of filming are both powerful ways to attract fans to the film and television city. Just like this moment, Zhou Xiao has already spotted a colleague who arrived at the film and television city in advance and is wearing a small Ji Shao light sign. Because they are walking in a group on the side of the road, they look particularly conspicuous at this moment.
However, Zhou Xiao had no plans to date in person. The most important thing for her right now was to return to the hotel to inspect the merchandise that had been sent to her. As for the AR cards in the merchandise, they were still the improved versions that Zhou Xiao hadn't received yet.
After glancing at the long queue, Zhou Xiao slowly pulled her suitcase to the back of the ticket-buying line. However, at first glance, she noticed that the ticket gate was different from the previous ones.
Next to the manual ticket checkpoint, there's now a facial recognition system. A closer look reveals a red notice board partially hidden by the crowd.
Although the view from the back wasn't clear, Zhou Xiao quickly understood after carefully listening to the repetitive horn sounds nearby. Apparently, this was the film and television city's annual revenue-generating event. This year, however, it seemed more advanced, even employing facial recognition equipment.
Zhou Xiao's eyes moved around. In addition to the people who came to the film and television city for tourism, there were also many extras in costumes waiting on the side of the road, chatting while waiting for the bus.
Compared to the modern people and buildings around it, it had a uniquely film and television city harmony. The reason it's called a film and television city is because if this "scenery" were moved anywhere else, it would immediately look strange. Watching this scene, Zhou Xiao suddenly felt that this would be a good place for his parents to come and visit.
If nothing else, the multiple 1:1 replicas of scenic spots at the film and television city alone were enough for them to explore. And for Zhou's father and Zheng's mother, compared to the local scenery, they still preferred to be surrounded by crowds! When traveling, the most beloved and most unbearable thing is the hustle and bustle.
The weather at the film and television city was pleasant as April approached, so even a long queue seemed like a piece of cake. With a good mood, efficiency naturally improved. So by the time Zhou Xiao got to the line, the sun hadn't even set over the mountain yet.
"Which attractions are we going to, beauty?" The ticket seller wearing a "little bee" mask enthusiastically introduced Zhou Xiao, "If you check in at a hotel in advance at the film and television city, we can give you a discount. Oh, you're staying at a hotel! Okay, then, please look at that facial scanning machine—"
The words were still stuck in his throat as the ticket seller looked at the note displayed under Zhou Xiao's name on his ticket machine in amazement: Crew: "Flower Journey"; Name: Zhou Xiao...
Crew members with a good line-up at the film and television city don't need to buy tickets, and usually enter and exit directly in the crew's chartered vehicles. However, if you want to enter alone, you can do so as long as the crew's logistics staff enters your information into the system.
In reality, the number of staff members still keeping track of the "Flowering Journey" crew at the film and television city was truly rare. Personnel turnover required timely updates, and only people like Zhou Xiao, who left and joined other crews, would retain information about their original crew. So, the ticket seller felt like he had stumbled upon a treasure today.
After scanning her face, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow in confusion at the other person's expression. But before she could ask what was wrong, the auntie slapped her thigh, her face flushed, and said, "Oh my, Ni'er, you're still from the crew of 'Flowering Journey'!"
The filming location of "Flower City" has been a huge hit in the film and television city lately. Many visitors specifically request to visit it. It's been called the film and television city's most popular attraction this month, and that's no exaggeration. To the ticket seller, Zhou Xiao is undoubtedly like the God of Wealth who has descended from heaven.
"You told me you were from the crew earlier," Auntie said as she stood up and manually lifted the railing, beckoning Zhou Xiao to come in. However, because of the noise she had just made, many people around her almost subconsciously looked over.
Feeling like he had suddenly become a small animal being watched, Zhou Xiao subconsciously pinched the steel bar on his mask. After saying "thank you" to the aunt, he nimbly bent down and passed under the railing.
What Zhou Xiao didn't know was that as she was on her way to the hotel, the system's backend approval value was constantly increasing by +1+1...
When her figure disappeared around the corner, many people in the queue were already curiously asking the ticket seller what position the staff member who had just entered was responsible for.

[Theme] Ahhhh, I don't know if this group can be amateur, but I seem to have really seen Teacher Zhou Xiao offline!
[Main Post] When I was queuing up to buy tickets for the "Flowering Journey" attraction at the film and television city, Teacher Zhou Xiao happened to be in front of me! Who knows? I actually recognized her at the beginning, but I was really embarrassed to disturb her TAT
Because the line was so long, when it was almost our turn, I heard the ticket seller tell Teacher Zhou Xiao that she didn't need to buy a ticket because she was a crew member! This is even more shocking!
PS: I just checked the official ZYQ website, and it really looks exactly like Teacher Zhou Xiao! Why is she going to the film studio at this hour? Isn't she shooting after-sales service for us? [Daydreaming.jpg]

The picture was taken on the spot, showing half of Zhou Xiao's profile with a mask on.

Help, Teacher Zhou Xiao looks so cute! The beautiful sisters really look fragrant! I can almost imagine her queuing up, and then finding out that she doesn’t need to queue up anymore.

Although, as a fan of Ying Ren Er Jie CP + Ji Shao, I still have to cruelly tell the original poster a fact! My sister Xindong is probably here to watch the start of filming for my brother's new drama! My brother will join the crew at the end of the month!

Have you been following Teacher Zhou Xiao? Give her some praise! Only by comparing the promotional images posted by the official blog can you clearly feel what it takes to win a big prize [sigh] I'm already worried about my future meals. I doubt if I can get used to the style of other teachers after eating the Manchu Han banquet made by Teacher Zhou_(:зゝ∠)_

Other companies are like fish without bicycles without their still photographers. And we at Yingren Erjie are like fish without Teacher Zhou! Woohoo, give me back my cooking master!

The post posted on the forum is still fermenting in the group, but the protagonist of the post is currently focusing on the boxes of peripherals in the room.
Because the hotel stay was a system reward, Zhou Xiao was able to enjoy the same service as before when she returned after such a long time. After she verified these peripherals online, the hotel staff had already moved them into the small room in the suite.
After unpacking a tightly wrapped box of peripherals, Zhou Xiao took out an AR card and shone a flashlight on it for a while to let it absorb some light.
Soon, the delicate, cartoon-like card surface began to show signs of a halo. Zhou Xiao, deciding it was about time, reached out and turned off the lights. The next moment, a faint purple glow began to emanate from the background of the AR card in his hand.
The finely outlined lines and the luminous background on the card make it look particularly dreamy in the darkness, and it has a completely different flavor from the normal AR card. Luminous is usually used on Baji, but this time she had a sudden idea to add it to the card.
Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow. This was a special process she had added when confirming the order with the system. Now it seemed that the effect really lived up to her final thought.
Just as she was thinking about taking a picture of this scene, Zhou Xiao picked up her phone and looked at the dozens of messages that popped up one after another. She was a little confused. After sorting out the details from the messages, she realized that a fan had posted about her visit to the film and television city.
Scratching her chin, Zhou Xiao looked at the most frequently appearing phrase in the chat interface. Almost all of them were asking if she had actually arrived at the filming location. Some of them also included Cheese's ruthless claws reaching out to her, begging her to help manage the set when filming started the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Xiao replied to Cheese's request without much thought. Judging by the number of Ji Shao fans she'd seen offline today, hiring temporary, unauthorized workers wouldn't be difficult. However, once the scale of the company expanded, experienced individuals would naturally be preferred.
After replying to all the messages from his friends, Zhou Xiao didn't rest yet. He pulled out his notebook from his suitcase and began selecting the promotional photos for "Letters from Time and Space" that he had taken yesterday.
I have to say, there is so much inspiration at night!
