Open to eat

The recruitment for the film and television company lasted for three days in total.

In these three days, Lan Shu had to endure a lot from the staff including photography, videography, makeup, coordinators, screenwriters, and actors.

So much so that her newly established film and television company now has sixty or seventy employees.

With so many people to feed, the company must have some output!

Lan Shu divided the company's staff into two groups. Each group has a screenwriter. According to the direction of the screenwriter's expertise, while preparing a TV series about rural parents and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are also developing in the direction of ancient historical themes.

There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the company, and costume dramas can definitely highlight their beauty and advantages!

As for the script, the two screenwriters have written some ready-made scripts before, and now they are selecting and making some modifications to make them just right for use.

After Lan Shu selected the script, she directly bought the copyright for it. One script cost 500 yuan, which is not low under today's market conditions.

The crew was assembled and coordinated, and the two directors appointed by Lan Shu went to work directly with uncertainty in their hearts——

With Li Xiaoyu’s appearance, it’s perfect for her to join the costume group!

However, she chose to dress up in disgrace on another production team, covering up her appearance advantages, and played the heroine's friend in a script about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

That character was another poor woman in the village who, under the influence of today's rural environment that favors sons over daughters, had her family exchange marriages with her in order to allow her brother to marry a daughter-in-law.

As for the role of the heroine, although Li Xiaoyu also wanted to play it, she was unable to take on this important task because she did not have a professional background and her acting skills were not sufficient.

However, compared to the beauties competing for beauty in costume dramas, she can be regarded as the second female lead in this TV series about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in rural areas.

This is also the reason why Li Xiaoyu worked hard to win this role in the first place.

She doesn't care about her appearance when filming. She wants to film a film and hopes that her existence in the film will be more meaningful.

On the other side of the costume cast, He Wenxi, who is young, handsome and well-shaped, plays the role of the young emperor who is controlled by the Queen Mother in the play.

This historical costume drama focuses on romance, and the emperor cannot escape the intrigues and intrigues of various concubines competing for favor.

This type of drama has never been seen before. Once it is filmed, Lan Shu can predict how much attention this TV series will receive!

Because of her high expectations, Lan Shu not only read through the script sentence by sentence, but also made changes to some plot points after discussing them with her editor.

Determined to make this show better!

The two crews made intense preparations. One week after selecting the cast for the rural mother-in-law and daughter-in-law TV series, the crew had already taken people out to find a location for filming.

It will take some time for the costume drama to start filming.

For costumes and props, Lan Shu invited Yao Jin, the prop master from the previously filmed TV series "Demon Slayer", to lead the production.

Before filming begins, the crew must have some knowledge of history and culture, as well as some understanding of palace etiquette. There are various rules for standing, sitting, and lying down.

Some of the actors also learn horseback riding and archery.

Therefore, the study interval of at least two to three months can also leave sufficient time for the costume and props team to prepare.

In late July, the house Lan Shu rented for use as a film and television company was renovated.

Because the walls were not painted with paint and the interior was whitewashed with putty, the staff had already moved into the company in early August when the walls were dry.

With a formal office location, everyone is more enthusiastic about work and study.

After the film and television company temporarily stabilized and moved forward step by step, Lan Shu finally had time to fulfill her promise and go out with Xiaobai for a few days before Xiaobai went to school.

The destination of their trip this time was a small city in the south.

Xiaobai and Master Zhang took turns driving, and both drove for more than ten hours to get to the place.

In the evening, the three of them had a meal with southern characteristics in a restaurant.

At the dinner table, the fish soup is delicious, the shrimps are wrapped in bread and fried to a golden color, the lotus-flavored roast chicken is tender and meaty, very delicious, and the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root are fragrant and waxy, which is Lan Shu's favorite dish.

After eating, a few people found a guest house nearby and checked in.

Originally, they planned to start the official travel itinerary tomorrow, but they heard that there would be a lantern festival on a street not far away in the evenings these days, so Lan Shu and Xiao Bai got in the car and planned to go to the lantern festival.

Lantern festivals in the south have local characteristics and are quite lively.

There are various lanterns everywhere along the street, and there are many pedestrians and bustling people on the road.

There are various vendors on both sides of the road selling local snacks.

Perhaps due to the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, at this moment, Lan Shu no longer deliberately controlled her food intake and sugar intake because she wanted to stay in shape.

She held the candied haws in one hand, while eating the southern pastries that Xiaobai handed over from time to time.

Seeing Lan Shu squinting her eyes happily because of the delicious food, Xiao Bai just felt cute in her heart.

The two of them walked from the street to the end of the street and took a leisurely walk without feeling tired.

After eating all the way, Lan Shu felt very full. She never felt full for a long time. After eating a full meal, she actually felt happy in her heart.

For many people, being able to fill their stomachs every day is a happy thing. Lan Shu understands this deeply at this moment.

It's a pity that she can only be 'unbridled' like this occasionally, otherwise she won't be able to maintain her figure if she eats too much.

…

The next day, the trip officially begins!

The scenery of small towns in the south is completely different from that in the north. In this weather, you can go boating on the lake, which is cool and artistic, or you can climb high buildings and overlook the poetic scenery of the small town.

After a day of playing, Lan Shu saw a lot of scenery and felt particularly relaxed.

She hadn't been in such a relaxed mood for a long time.

In the evening, they still ate southern specialties, sweet bean curd, and special snacks. They didn’t need big fish or meat, and Lan Shu was already satisfied.

Lan Shu even fell in love with such a light diet without realizing it.

She even thought that when she returned to Kyoto, she might not be able to eat these delicious foods.

Even the southern restaurants in Kyoto can't make the authentic delicacies here.

So a few days later, when they left the small town, Lan Shu was even a little reluctant to leave.

Xiaobai noticed his wife's mood and gently held her in his arms, "If I have time in the future, I will bring you here again."

Hearing Xiaobai's voice, Lan Shu looked up at Xiaobai, then nodded, "Okay."

Lan Shu had already planned that after finishing her work and Xiaobai's winter vacation, they might be able to take some time to see the winter in the south.
Chapter completed!
