  "What are you talking about girlfriends?" He Mu laughed, and Xiao Mi's tone was clearly not like she was talking about Shi Shi.

  "Zhang Zilin," Mi Min said with a sly smile, "do you have another girlfriend?"

  "It shouldn't be, I've never mentioned her in front of you, and you couldn't have seen her either. How did you know?" Since Mimi had already spoken out Zhiran's name, it meant she must have known the secret, so He Mu didn't continue to cover it up unnecessarily.

  Mi Min smiled: "Don't forget, when you're filming, your phone is always in my hands."

  "You snooped through my phone!"

  "I didn't," Mi Min retorted, "once your phone automatically shut down, I pressed the power button and then saw a man and a woman."

  What a wonderful start-up animation! How could I forget the start-up animation!

  He didn't dare to put Zhang Zilin's photo on his mobile phone desktop, it was too showy, but in order to show their lover relationship and create romantic details, He Mu set the intimate photos of the two as the boot screen, every time he boots up, he can see the sweet appearance of the two, unexpectedly, even with such carefulness, they were still discovered.

  "That's not right, how did you know her name?" He Mu asked.

  "There's something strange, Zhang Zilin is very popular in the modeling circle, she's a well-known model on New Silk Road, and I often see her in some fashion magazines that I buy," said Mi Min. "So even though it was just a glance when I turned on the computer, I still recognized her at once."

  He Mu really didn't know that Zi Lin had such a high level of fame, even Mi Min could recognize her.

  "So now Tang Ge and the others all know?" He Mu asked again.

  Mi Min shook her head: "I didn't tell them about this, they're all ignoring you now, unless you have some big abnormality or emotional fluctuation, otherwise don't bother reporting to them."

  He Mu smiled contentedly, "This is good, this is good."

  Mei Mei said: "Mu Ge, you know what? Actually, Boss has always thought that you and Shi Shi are a couple."

  "Oh, really?"

  "Yes, I heard that Mr. Xiao's secretary, Cen Bo, said that it was because of the relationship between Poems and you that he finally decided to let her star in 'Stewardess', and even asked Brother Tang not to have any kissing scenes or passionate scenes when filming with her. There were already kissing scenes in 'The Legend of the Condor Hero', but later they even asked for the script to be changed."

  Xiao Mi chattered on and on like a little trumpet, and He Mu had never thought that Xiao Mi was such a lively girl. What he didn't expect even more was that Fang Ge actually thought things through for himself so thoroughly, even taking care of Shi Shi; but it's better this way, after all, a little girl like Shi Shi shouldn't be filming kissing scenes, it's better to stick to the jade girl route.

  He Mo chose to forget that he had just kissed Shi Shi not long ago and even took away her first kiss, it's clear that this no-kissing rule doesn't apply to him.

  The next day, He Muxi followed the main team to shoot again. As the leading actor and actress, they were the busiest. Watching Li Qian and others finish their breakfast and go back to sleep made her feel envious.

  In the morning play, Feng Sheng brings the naive Xin Shi Nang to a wine house to help her understand what love is.

  When shooting this scene, there was a small problem. Here, we need a fat man to play the role of Zhang Dafu, but two fat men appeared. One said that the deputy director agreed to let him act, and the other also said that the deputy director let him act. The problem is that there is only one deputy director in the crew.

  "Xiao Fei, who were you looking for in the first place? Have you forgotten already!" The executive director said exasperatedly. It didn't matter to him who was chosen, but the two chubby guys couldn't come to an agreement and were delaying the shooting schedule, which he couldn't tolerate.

  The deputy director, Xiao Fei, was in a dilemma. The two fat men, the white fat one was invited by him, they had cooperated before, and the black fat one was brought in by the drama department after receiving benefits. The problem is that the drama department is his cousin, and it's estimated that he got drunk last night and bragged to people that he has a strong connection in the crew, then received benefits from someone to help arrange a role for him. Now Xiao Fei doesn't know what to do, whether to help his cousin cover up this lie or insist on using the white fat one, his heart's balance gradually tilted towards his cousin.

  At this time, He Mu, who had been waiting for the opening shot, became impatient and ran out to see what was going on. He caught sight of that white fatty and said, "Bao Ge, what are you doing here?"

  Chang Da Bao looked at the banner not far away, "Huh, Xiao Mu, aren't you filming 'Liao Zhai Qi Nu Zi'? How did you end up in the crew of 'Xin Shi Nian Niang'?"

  He Mu smiled: "The Fourteenth Daughter of Xin is a small play under Strange Women in the Chat Room, what I said wasn't wrong."

  He Mu looked at the executive director again: "Director Huang, what's going on? This is my friend."

  The director looked at the assistant director Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fei immediately made up his mind. He chuckled and said, "It must be a misunderstanding. I originally chose this Mr. Chang. You must have come to the wrong group." Finally, Xiao Fei glanced at the black fatty and winked at his cousin.

  He Miao has already spoken out that Bai Hua Zi is his friend, this role must be Zhang Da Bao's, even the director is very polite to him, one word from him can top a hundred words from others.

  Hei Pangzi was about to blow up after hearing Xiao Fei's words, he wasn't an ordinary extra, he also had a certain status and identity, this time he came to Hengdian to play just to get over his acting addiction, didn't expect to be cheated instead. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the drama crew immediately pulled him away, lest he gets himself involved, while pulling him away, they explained: calm down, calm down, have you seen that young man? You can't afford to mess with him, he's a big shot!

  Now that the loud and boisterous Hei Pangzi is gone, the world is much more peaceful. Zhang Dafu was played by Chang Da Bao, although he only had a few lines as a minor character who was slightly stronger than a passerby, Chang Da Bao was still very satisfied, repeatedly grasping He Mu's hand and saying thank you.

  "Brother Bao, you're being too polite. By the way, why are you running solo today? What about those people under your command?" He Mu was very curious, as Brother Bao used to be surrounded by a crowd of people wherever he went, but today he seemed so deserted and almost overshadowed by that black fatty.

  "Let's talk about it later, let's film first, let's film first."

  The director was looking at them at this time, and He Mu didn't ask any more questions.

  The role played by Bao Ge, Zhang Dafu, was eating meat in a restaurant, when his wife rushed in and started a fight with him. 14th Sister concluded that not all husbands and wives love each other. Then, Zhang's sister-in-law explained the situation: Zhang had an illness and was overweight, so the doctor warned him not to eat meat, but he couldn't control himself and ran to the restaurant to indulge. His wife was worried about his health and therefore quarreled with him in public. 14th Sister suddenly realized that this was what love is all about. Feng Sheng told her, "This is affection, this is love."

  This play is more about watching Bao Ge and the actress who plays his wife, He Mu Shi Shi just needs to glance sideways. The director is usually more lenient with these kinds of extras, as long as they pass muster, it's generally a pass, if they were held to the performance standards of professional actors, then the first one to collapse from exhaustion would definitely be the director.

  What He Mu didn't expect was that Bao Ge's performance was surprisingly natural and effortless, without the usual mistakes of a minor actor, perfectly portraying a middle-aged fat man who was always nodding and agreeing, was Mei treating him like this at home? He Mu couldn't help but wonder.

  Chang Da Bao's performance not only made He Mu's eyes light up, but also made the director shout "good" after yelling "cut". The aunt who played Zhang Da Sao hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

  Everyone laughed because they all knew who the director's praise was for.

  After finishing this scene, intermission, He Mu called Bao Ge over to sit down, Bao Ge nodded slightly awkwardly at Shi Shi.

  Everyone was dressed in ancient attire and in a classical tavern, He Mu himself felt awkward listening to his own words: "Bao Ge, why are you running errands alone, where's the team?"

  Chang Dabao smiled and shook his head: "The team has been handed over to Xiaoshengzi, I am now an actor and have signed with a company." Xiaoshengzi was originally one of Chang Dabao's subordinates, considered the second-in-command of their team.

  "Bao Ge, you're not joking, are you really going to enter the entertainment industry!" He Mu was slightly shocked.

  Chang Da Bao nodded, "The company I signed with is Heng Xing Agency, you should know that."

  He nodded, of course he knew that Hengxing Agency was very famous in Hengdian Film and Television City. In fact, the boss of Hengxing Agency was just a group leader, but they had established a formal agency company, and those who wanted to join must have certain acting skills. Their slogan was: Providing the most professional extra services for the crew.

  The crew usually needs a relatively heavy extra or some unimportant small roles will find Hengxing, because these roles are generally not met by the group actors, but using professional actors is too expensive, and Hengxing's actors can just meet their requirements.

  He Mu had been drifting in Hengdian for two months and felt that his acting skills were slightly improved, so he wanted to try his luck at Hengxing, but at that time, Chang Da Bao was too good to him, so he didn't want to go. Unexpectedly, now Brother Bao has gone there himself.

  "Is it worth it?" He Mu asked as he poured a cup of tea for Chang Dabao.

  Chang Da Bao chuckled and said, "There's no such thing as worth or not worth it, only like or dislike. If you like it, then go do it! Anyway, your sister-in-law still runs a small business, and the family has some savings over the years, so we won't be destitute. In the past, managing all of you didn't leave me any time to think about how to act in plays. Now that I have more free time, I actually feel like my acting skills have improved a lot! Heh, what did you think of my performance as that loser just now?"

  He Mu raised a finger: "One word: good!" Although it was just a supporting role, or even an extra role, He Mu knew that in the performance, Chang Dabao was his own heart's first male lead. He was fully invested and had always had this mindset when he was running extras, only then could he remind himself: remember, you are an actor!

  "Everyone is here, right? Did you bring the stuff? Alright, wait for my message." Hei Pangzi hung up the phone and spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, "Hmph, trying to play tricks on me? Today I'll show you who's more awesome!"
