The film and television city starts from the courtyard

That day, Zhao Shucheng was driving past a flower shop when he realized he was going to meet Shanli later and that he had never given her flowers before, so he pulled over and got out of the car.

As Zhao Shucheng was about to enter the flower shop, he saw a pretty and cute girl walking towards him. Her fluffy hair was slightly curled, and she wore a blue and white shirt, ripped jeans, and a light blue shoulder bag with a fluffy orange plush toy hanging on it.

Of course, what attracted Zhao Shucheng's attention the most was not the girl's delicate face, but rather the fact that she had four or five snack bags hanging from her arms, a tray of coffee in her left hand, and a whole bag of milk tea in her right, all while walking hurriedly and talking on her phone with her face and shoulder between her arms.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all bought. The sugar-free, low-caffeine one you wanted, the two espressos for the director, brown sugar, brown sugar, yes, yes, everyone else bought the four-yuan ones, and the cheese chestnut one too..."

Before she could finish speaking, a bag of snacks fell from the girl's arm, spilling its contents all over the floor. The girl stopped in her tracks, paused for a moment, then squatted down to pick up the snacks, continuing her phone call all the while.

"No, no, nothing's wrong. I'll be there right away, right away. Okay, goodbye, Sister Xiaoxiao!"

After hanging up the phone, the girl sighed and continued packing the snacks.

Just then, he saw a hand reach out and snatch the snacks before she could, saying, "Your snacks."

"No, your snacks."

The girl suddenly realized what she was doing, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, it's all the advertising's fault. By the way, do you need any help?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

The girl looked up at Zhao Shucheng. In the bright sunlight, a handsome and dashing middle-aged man stood in front of her.

"You're so handsome, are you a celebrity?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Then you're wrong. I'm not a celebrity. From what I heard you talking to someone just now, about a director or something, are you an entertainer?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I can't really be considered an artist. I'm just an artist's assistant and also work part-time as an artist's stunt double."

"I see. I have high hopes for you. You'll definitely become a big star someday."

"Thank you, I also hope that day comes soon. I have to go now, bye!"

After they parted ways, Zhao Shucheng continued walking towards the flower shop, while the girl glanced at his back and prepared to walk towards the roadside. Just then, a man passed by her, heard something, and quickly chased after her.

The man spoke a few words to the driver, who then drove straight to the mall. The man shook his head and was about to open the car door and get in when the girl who had been waiting rushed over, opened the door for him, and said, "Handsome stunner, let me do it!"

The man smiled when he heard the girl address him that way and said, "You also like watching Kyushu?"

"Yeah, you watch it too?"

The girl was pleasantly surprised and said, "I thought only girls liked watching this kind of show. I didn't expect boys to like it too."

Seeing the girl's overly familiar manner, the man raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do we know each other?"

"I don't know him. Excuse me, I just overheard you saying you were going to Chedun Film City, and I happen to be going there too. Could I ask you for a ride?"

The man smiled and said, "I know, you told me you like watching Kyushu, then pretended to recognize me and tried to get close to me. I meet countless girls like you every day, and you even want a ride with me? Can't you come up with something more original and give me a surprise?"

Before the girl could react, he opened the other car door and got in.

The girl, carrying coffee and snacks, squeezed into the car and explained:
"Brother, you've misunderstood. I have no intention of getting close to you, really. I really need to go to Chedun Film City. Could you do me a favor and give me a ride? After all, it's fate."

"go out!"

The man rebuked him with a cold expression.

The girl was slightly disappointed and was about to open the car door to get out when the man called out to her, "Come back!"

"what?"

The girl looked at the man with surprise and said, "You're willing to give me a ride?"

"Smile!"

"what?"

"You shamelessly hitched a ride with someone, shouldn't you at least offer a smile?"

The girl was furious upon hearing this, opened the car door, and said, "You're crazy!"

But just then, her phone buzzed, she opened WeChat, and there was a voice message:
"Su Cheng, what's wrong with you? I asked you to buy something, why are you taking so long? I'm telling you, I'm really angry. Have you finished buying it yet? When are you coming back? I'm telling you, if you keep acting like this, don't come back to see me, do you hear me? My God, I'm crazy to have hired someone like you as my assistant."

Su Cheng quickly replied, "Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll be right back!"

After replying, Su Cheng pouted, let out a sigh, put on a smile, got back into the car, and said with a smile:

"Hey buddy, I'll forgive you since you're so handsome, is that alright?"

"Please, stop pretending you don't know me. Can you stop acting?"

The man looked at Su Cheng and snapped, "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

Su Cheng, angered by the man's repeated verbal insults, retorted, "Get out of here! How can you be so rude?"

The other person seemed too lazy to waste words with Su Cheng, and simply pushed her out of the car, mocking her, "You say you like watching Kyushu, but do you know who I am? There are plenty of girls who want to chat me up, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. Dream on if you want a ride with me. Stop thinking about picking up men on the street, you low-IQ idiot!"

Pushed out of the car by the man, Su Cheng spilled her coffee and milk tea all over the ground. Already on the verge of tears, Su Cheng couldn't hold back any longer after hearing the man's insults. She angrily pounded on the car window and said:
"What did you say? You're the one with low IQ, a mere ordinary guy. Who do you think you are? Seducing you? Take a look at yourself! Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Hello Kitty."

Instead of arguing with Su Cheng, the man climbed into the driver's seat and drove away, rolling down the window and mocking Su Cheng: "Hello Hello Hello, Hello Hello, goodbye!"

Zhao Shucheng happened to see this scene when he came out of the flower shop with a bouquet of flowers. Su Cheng chased after the car for a few steps, but could only stomp her feet and watch the van disappear from her sight.

Seeing the milk tea, coffee, and snacks scattered all over the floor, Zhao Shucheng walked over and asked:

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend, just an ordinary guy who thinks everyone likes him." Su Cheng said, sounding a bit annoyed. She had originally planned to save on taxi fare, but now she had spilled both her milk tea and coffee, and couldn't get reimbursed for buying new ones, making her already meager wallet even tighter. What's worse, she had run into a lunatic and got yelled at; it was like losing both her money and her wallet.

Seeing Su Cheng cleaning up the snacks and trash on the ground, he asked, "Do you need any help?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, could you help me tidy up the snacks? The coffee and milk tea are spilled; I need to buy new ones."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course."

Before Zhao Shucheng could say anything, Su Cheng hurriedly ran to the coffee shop on the side.

Zhao Shucheng shook his head helplessly, cleaned up the mess on the ground, and stood there waiting for him.

A little while later, Su Cheng came out of the coffee shop and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Shucheng was still there.

While waiting for her coffee and milk tea, she was a little worried that Zhao Shucheng might have left. After all, she and he had only met briefly, and now she had asked him to help pack the snacks. If he left, wouldn't she have to pay for the snacks herself?

If that's the case, I won't have any money for living expenses for the next two weeks, and I'll have to ask my friends for help.

"Uncle, it's so good that you're still here."

"Am I that big? Just call me Uncle."

"If I don't call you 'Uncle,' what should I call you?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "My name is Gu Xiaobai. Gu from the Gu family, Xiao from the Xiao person, and Bai from the rooster crowing to light the sky. Everyone calls me Xiaobai. What about you?"

"My name is Su Cheng, Su as in Suzhou, Cheng as in orange, and Xiao Bai. It's nice to meet you."

Zhao Shucheng said, "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Orange!"

Upon hearing her name, Zhao Shucheng confirmed her identity; it was indeed the energetic girl, Su Cheng. Initially, upon seeing her face, Zhao Shucheng had assumed she was experiencing life or filming a drama, but he hadn't noticed any cameras.

Zhao Shucheng knew that Su Cheng was the female lead in "The Brilliant Path of Counterattack," which mainly tells the story of Su Cheng, a senior college student who was originally a fan of Yan Chufei, a second-tier celebrity.

To pursue her dream man, she started as an artist's assistant and entered the glamorous entertainment industry. In order to have the chance to fall in love with Yan Chufei, she participated in a talent show, signed with Duan Chengxuan's company, and embarked on an acting career.

The agent secured a filming opportunity for Su Cheng, allowing her to finally act alongside her idol. Duan Chengxuan also changed his preconceived notions about Su Cheng.

Along her journey, Su Cheng witnessed the bizarre realities of the entertainment industry and also came to understand the true allure of acting. Her innocent and carefree nature impacted those around her, and despite several ups and downs, she ultimately succeeded through her own efforts, achieving a brilliant path from assistant to Best Actress. Of course, it was also along this path that she resolved her conflicts with her parents.

After all the ups and downs, fame and fortune no longer matter to her; instead, she prefers to be with the people she loves.

However, Zhao Shucheng wasn't interested in their storyline. After all, he was in the entertainment industry himself and knew that you couldn't judge a book by its cover.

Of course, more importantly, he already had Mo Xiaomin and the others by his side, so he really had no interest in flirting with anyone else.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng still thought highly of Su Cheng, especially her face and figure. He remembered that she had played many roles in qipao, which amazed everyone.

Zhao Shucheng felt that if a suitable opportunity arose, collaboration was not out of the question, and he was certain that his work would be even more outstanding.

Su Cheng was taken aback by Zhao Shucheng's words and asked, "Xiaobai, how did you know my nickname is Orange?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "Of course it's just a guess. After all, your name is Su Cheng. It could be Su Su, or Chengzi, or Xiao Chengzi. I can't think of any other name for you."

"Okay, you guessed it, everyone likes to call me Orange."

Zhao Shucheng said, "By the way, where are you going? If it's on your way, I can give you a ride."

"No need, you've already helped me so much today, how could I trouble you any further?"

Before Zhao Shucheng could continue to persuade her, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Um, I'm going to Chedun Film and Television City. If it's on your way, could you give me a ride? Are you going the same way?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "What a coincidence! I'm actually going to Chedun Film City today. I won't be going yesterday or tomorrow. Let's go, get in the car!"

After getting into the car, Su Cheng smiled sheepishly and said, "Um, Xiaobai, thank you!"

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

Su Cheng suddenly asked curiously, "Um, Xiaobai, what do you do for a living? Why are you working at the film studio?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "You really don't recognize me?"

Su Cheng paused for a moment, glanced at Zhao Shucheng driving, and asked hesitantly, "Should I know you?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course not. I'm a screenwriter, and I should be somewhat well-known in the film and television industry in Shanghai. It seems I'm just being too complacent."

"No, no, I didn't know you were a screenwriter. I'm a senior in college and I just started working as an assistant. I don't know many people at all."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "I see, that makes sense then. After all, your main task right now is studying, so you naturally don't have much time to learn about the outside world, let alone the entertainment industry. But I think you're not bad-looking, so why did you decide to become an assistant instead of an actor?"

Su Cheng said, "Well, I didn't graduate with a degree in performing arts, so I can only learn slowly."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "I knew it. But your qualifications are not bad. If you study systematically, you should be able to find a place for yourself."

"Thank you!"

"By the way, your job as an assistant must be tough, right? I see you carrying all these bags and you still have to deal with the artists' complaints?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's really tough. I'm Xiaoxiao's assistant and her stunt double. Do you know Xiaoxiao?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I don't know! He shouldn't be anyone too famous, otherwise I would definitely know him, and we've worked together before."

"Sister Xiaoxiao has only been around for a short time. She's still a big internet celebrity, not a big star."

Zhao Shucheng chuckled and said, "An internet celebrity, huh? I didn't expect you to enter the film and television industry so quickly."

This was something Zhao Shucheng really hadn't expected. However, given that Mo Xiaomin had unexpectedly entered the entertainment industry while filming an advertisement, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible that such a popular internet celebrity would participate in film and television productions.
