Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

The sun shines through the dense treetops, scattering in every corner of the studio. On the quaint stone bridge, the little actor, wearing a costume, is nervously and excitedly waiting for the filming to start. His eyes are filled with the innocence and curiosity that only children can have, as if he finds everything around him new and fresh.

The crew came and went, busy and full of energy. The lighting technician was adjusting the light, and the photographer was checking the camera lens. Suddenly, a makeup artist quietly walked behind the young actor and gently smeared a handful of white powder on his cheek, and the young actor suddenly turned into a cute old man. This scene made the people on the set laugh out loud.

The director sat behind the monitor, watching the young actor on the screen with a satisfied smile on his face. He waved his hand to signal the filming to continue, while the screenwriter beside him was holding the script and carefully guiding the young actor's lines. The young actor's serious expression made people feel his love for acting.

At this moment, a kitten slipped out from nowhere, jumped onto the stone bridge, and leisurely circled around the young actor. The young actor couldn't help but reach out to touch it, and the kitten seemed to know how to make people happy. It rubbed back and forth on the palm of the young actor, making everyone on the set laugh.

The set was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone had a relaxed and happy smile on their face. Despite the busy work, there seemed to be a kind of magic here that made people forget their fatigue and just want to immerse themselves in this joy. With the director's "Cut", the set became quiet, and the warm scene of the little actor and the kitten was forever frozen on the film.

"Director Zhang, Li Cheng, Fan Chengcheng, Lu Yuxiao and Guan Xiaotong are here."

Zhang Kaizhou's assistant whispered in his ear.

"Hmm? Are they all here?"

Director Zhang Kaizhou was stunned for a moment, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

Director Zhang Kaizhou has also participated in many film and television collaborations, including A Family in Wenzhou, Parents' Love, Old Farmers, Ode to Joy 2, Children of the Qiao Family, etc. There are many well-known works, and the actors he collaborated with are all veteran actors, including Yu Hewei, Ning Jing, Guo Tao, Mei Ting, Lin Yongjian, Zhang Yi, Yin Tao, Li Liqun and others. Not to mention this time, they are all powerful actors.

"I go!"

"Is this really for us?"

"Thank you"

"Thank you"

"."

The leading actors who were taking a break after filming heard the staff's shouting and looked over. They found that Li Cheng and others were distributing food and drinks to the staff as they walked.

Yan Ni smiled when she saw Li Cheng, Fan Chengcheng and Guan Xiaotong. She was very familiar with these three people.

Li Guangjie had a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Guo Xiaodong took a look and then lowered his head to continue reading the script, as if he didn't see Li Cheng and others.

Jiang Xin shook her head when she saw this scene. It was no different from what she remembered.

"Director Zhang!"

Instead of going to the actors' resting area, everyone came to Zhang Kaizhou.

"Coming."

Zhang Kaizhou met all the actors and stood up to shake hands with several of them.

"We brought some food and drinks for everyone. We hope we didn't disturb anyone."

Li Cheng came straight to the point and the most important thing was that he did not attribute these things to himself.

Guan Xiaotong shook her head slightly after hearing this, because she knew that this was arranged by Li Cheng. Although they were not short of the money, she did not have this habit.

"It's a waste of money, so come and prepare yourself. We'll be ready to film your scenes in a few days."

Zhang Kaizhou took the coffee handed to him by Li Cheng and glanced at everyone.

"Okay, then let's go to Teacher Guo's place."

Li Cheng saw that Director Zhang had something else to do and planned to visit other seniors.

"Director, let's go first."

"Thank you for your hard work, director."

"Thank you for your hard work, director."

Zhang Kaizhou nodded and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight and discuss the script."

"Okay, Director."

"Good director."

"okay."

Zhang Kaizhou shook his head as he watched the four people leaving. He did not feel that Li Cheng was fake, but sighed that what Zhang Yi and others said was true, because Li Cheng did not have any audition, but was directly stuffed in. Li Cheng was specifically asked to act, but he did not agree immediately, but asked Zhang Yi, Guo Tao and others first. After all, they had all worked together before. When he heard that the acting was really good, he did not refuse, and also told them about Li Cheng's love for treating the crew to afternoon tea. He thought it was a joke, but today he saw that it was true.

Li Cheng came to the actor area and did not follow Fan Chengcheng to visit Yan Ni and others first. Instead, he walked to a corner and said, "Teacher Zhang! Long time no see!"

"Hey, Cheng Cheng! Long time no see."

The moment Zhang Ruihan saw Li Cheng, he immediately walked up and hugged him.

"Teacher Zhang is handsome again."

Li Cheng handed over the coffee in his hand. He and Zhang Ruihan were very familiar with each other. After all, they were in the same crew for his first film and television work, The World. Many people in the crew took good care of him at that time. Zhang Ruihan was one of them. After all, he was his uncle Debao.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zhang Ruihan immediately turned sideways and said, "Let me introduce you to Teacher Li Qian."

"Teacher Li Qian, long time no see!"

Li Cheng looked at Li Qian in front of him and scratched his head with a smile.

"Long time no see, you've grown so big."

Li Qian did not touch Li Cheng's head as she did before, but instead patted his arm.

"Do you two know each other?"

Zhang Ruihan was stunned. He really didn't expect that these two people knew each other.

"Yeah, I took care of him for two days when he was a kid. I used to work in the same company with Sister Bingbing."

Li Qian took the coffee handed to her by Li Cheng and found that it was for her to drink.

"Good guy."

Zhang Ruihan forgot about this, after all, Li Qian’s boss is Sister Hua!
"I also grew up watching Sister Qian's dramas. I have watched many of her TV series. And you two are working together again after many years." Li Cheng glanced at Zhang Ruihan and thought of the former Longmen Escort Agency. It must be said that Zhang Ruihan is really getting younger and younger.

"Good boy, you know all this."

Zhang Ruihan didn't expect that Li Cheng even knew this. That drama was too old and had been aired for ten years.

"Well then, I'll go over there first."

Li Cheng did not stay long, after all, he had other teachers to visit.

"go Go."

"Go."

The two didn't say anything. After all, they would meet often in the future.

Li Qian looked at Li Cheng's back and said, "He has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

"That's right. He wasn't famous when he was in the human world, but now he's a new generation of actor and he's even in the Olympics."

Zhang Ruihan is a fan of Li Cheng and he follows Li Cheng's sports career very closely.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. He came to BJ to play in the game. I took him with me for two days."

Li Qian can still remember how Li Cheng looked during the competition. No one could stop him.

"Sister Yan Ni!"

Yan Ni, who was chatting with Guan Xiaotong, immediately turned around when she heard the voice.

"Oh, Cheng Cheng, you look so handsome again."

Li Cheng found that Yan Ni looked a little tipsy.

"Sister, did you drink a little?"

Li Cheng did not hide anything and asked directly.

"Just a little."

Yan Ni gestured with her little finger.

“It’s normal to have a drink.”

Guan Xiaotong is also a drunkard, and she can be said to have found her organization in the crew.

"Bring some wine to my room tonight and we'll drink some."

Yan Ni also knows that Guan Xiaotong has to have a drink every day.

"no problem."

Guan Xiaotong nodded immediately, that’s great.

"Well, you two can chat while I go."

Seeing this, Li Cheng put down his things and hurried to visit other people.

Zhang Ruihan, who was standing aside, clicked his tongue when he saw how Li Cheng handled the ways of the world.

"Completely different from when I first met him. He was quite shy then. It's only been two years. He's so sophisticated."

Zhang Ruihan shook his head. The main reason was that this was also a world of fame and fortune, and the ways of the world were too normal.

"Yes, mainly because he has been influenced by it since he was a child."

Li Qian didn't know what Li Cheng was like when he was in the crew, but when he was a child, Li Cheng was liked by many actors in the company, so he must have some knowledge of social skills.

Guo Xiaodong is not a talkative person. He exchanged a few words with Li Cheng and then said nothing more.

Li Guangjie and Jiang Xin talked incessantly. After all, they were Li Cheng's parents in this drama. They must be happy to see that they have such a handsome son. Moreover, Li Guangjie and Zhao Liying have a good relationship and were also greeted.

Needless to say, Jiang Xin was also greeted by Zhao Liying, and it was not the first time that she and Li Guangjie played a couple, but it was the first time she worked with Li Cheng. She also asked around and knew that Li Cheng had good acting skills and was very studious, and he was not arrogant.

"Everyone, get ready! Filming will begin in five minutes. All non-related personnel please leave the scene!"

The assistant director's shout interrupted the social interaction. Li Cheng and the other three came behind Director Zhang and began to watch. After all, there was no need to say anything about the acting skills of Jiang Xin and the others, they were amazing!

Li Cheng and the others were chased away by the director not long after they started watching. Because of the presence of these people, the young actors had no energy to act at all. They were all staring at the four of them! They had no choice but to chase them away.

Because Li Cheng and his friends had teased these kids a lot just now. After all, the characters they played were their childhoods, so they had to take a good look.

As dusk fell and the lights came on, a script-killing store with strange decorations stood out among the neon lights of the city. The storefront featured a simple wooden sign with intricate patterns carved on it, and antique lanterns hung at the door, swaying gently in the wind and emitting a faint yellow light.

The lobby of the store is spacious and bright, filled with a mysterious and tense atmosphere. As soon as you enter, you can hear discussions, exclamations and laughter interweaving one after another, like a vivid symphony. Various script covers are hung on the wall, each of which seems to tell a unique story. The tables in the game area are covered with exquisite props and clue cards, which are dazzling.

At this time, the lobby was full of enthusiastic young people, some of them were reading the script attentively, while others were discussing the distribution of roles and strategies enthusiastically. Their faces were full of excitement and expectation, and they shouted excitedly from time to time, and there was a tension of confrontation and cooperation between them.

The staff members shuttled among the crowd, patiently answering the players' questions and maintaining order at the scene. They were dressed in ancient costumes and smiled, as if they were also part of this scripted world.

Far from being bored, the queueing crowd became even more excited, watching others absorbed in the game and eager to join in. As time went on, their eagerness became more obvious, but they still maintained good order, unwilling to ruin this rare experience.

This script-killing store is not only an entertainment venue, but also a bridge connecting the real world and the fictional world, allowing every participant to immerse themselves in bizarre and fascinating stories. Here, young people can not only enjoy the fun of the game, but also experience a unique social atmosphere. No wonder it is so popular.

In the dimly lit box, the atmosphere was tense and mysterious. Li Cheng and his assistants sat at a long table, concentrating on playing their roles. Their expressions were serious and focused, as if they had really traveled back to the era in the script. Fan Chengcheng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if he was thinking about the next line; Guan Xiaotong frowned, imitating the solemn demeanor of the characters in the play.

The plot in the script became more tense, and the voices of the crowd also rose. Their control of the lines was precise and emotional, making the listeners feel as if they could feel the inner turmoil of the characters. Lu Yuxiao suddenly stood up, her eyes were sharp and firm, and her voice was full of unquestionable authority, interpreting the image of the strong woman in the script to the fullest.

In another corner of the room, an NPC seemed out of place. He stood aside, his face full of confusion and helplessness. Although the NPC's clothes were gorgeous, his expression was in stark contrast to the professional actors like Li Cheng in the room. When the plot developed to the point where he needed to intervene, the NPC tried to fit in clumsily, but it was always unsatisfactory, either forgetting the lines or the movements were too stiff, as if he was a novice player.

This contrast not only did not destroy the immersion of the scene, but also highlighted the professionalism of Li Cheng and others. They seemed to be able to completely forget the surrounding environment and bring the audience into the story world they created. Even in such a small box, people can feel the power of drama and the enthusiasm of the actors.

At the end, no one spoke for a long time, and everyone was emotionally detached from their roles.

NPC swallowed his saliva when he saw this scene. He originally thought that he was lucky to be able to play with these popular young actors, but as they played, he felt that the actors were worthy of being actors. If he didn't know what was going on, he almost believed it. These people acted too well.

The assistants of Li Cheng and others were also immersed in the plot. Although they were not actors, they were directly dragged into the plot by the vivid image of their boss. They seemed to have forgotten that this was a game. At this moment, they also deeply understood why some actors often broke down and cried, and some actors often became depressed.
