Chapter 328 Open to eat

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

  During the past three days, Lan Shu has received a lot of staff, whether it is photography, video, makeup, coordinator, screenwriter, or actors.

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

   With so many people to support, there must be some output in the company!

  Lan Shu divided the staff of the company into two groups. One group was a screenwriter. According to the direction that the screenwriter is good at, while preparing TV dramas about the relationship between rural parents and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are developing in the direction of ancient historical themes.

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

  As for the script, the two screenwriters have written some ready-made scripts before, and now they are picking and making some modifications, which are just usable.

  After Lan Shu selected the script, she bought the copyright of the script directly with money.

  A script is five hundred yuan, which is not too low in today's market conditions.

  The production team is well organized, and the overall planning is in place. The two directors hand-picked by Lan Shu go straight to work full of uncertainties in their hearts—

  With Li Xiaoyu's appearance, it's perfect to go to the costume group!

  But she chose to dress disheveled in another crew to cover up her appearance advantages, and played the role of the heroine's friend in the script of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the parents.

   That character is another poor woman in the village who, under the influence of the patriarchal environment in the countryside today, uses her as a marriage partner in order to allow her elder brother to marry a daughter-in-law.

   As for the role of the heroine, although Li Xiaoyu also wanted to play it, but because she was not from a major and her acting skills were not enough, she couldn't take on this important role.

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

   This is also the reason why Li Xiaoyu fought hard for this role at the beginning.

   Isn’t it beautiful that she doesn’t dress up for her appearance in filming? The film she wants to film, hopes that her presence in the film will be more meaningful.

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

  This historical costume drama is mainly based on romance, and the emperor cannot escape from all kinds of concubines competing for favor and intrigue.

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

  Because of the high expectations, Lan Shu not only read through the script sentence by sentence, but also discussed some plot points with the editor to make changes.

   Determined to make this drama better!

  The two production crews are preparing intensely. One week after the selection of personnel for the rural mother-in-law and daughter-in-law TV series, the crew has already taken people out to find a place to shoot.

   And it will take some time before the filming of the costume drama starts.

   For clothing and props, Lan Shu invited Yao Jin, the prop master from the previous TV series "Slaying Demons", to lead people to make them.

  Before the filming starts, the crew also need to learn a certain amount of history and culture, and understand palace etiquette. There are various rules for standing, sitting, and lying down.

  Some of the actors also learn horseback riding and archery.

  So the study interval of at least two or three months can also leave enough time for the costume and props team to prepare.

  In late July, Lan Shu completed the decoration of the house rented by Lan Shu as a film and television company.

  Because no paint was used to paint the walls, the interior was only whitewashed with putty. When the walls were completely dry, the staff had already moved into the company in early August.

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

   Waiting for the film and television company to temporarily stabilize and move forward step by step, Lan Shu finally had time to fulfill the promise before Xiao Bai went to school, and went out with Xiao Bai for a few days.

   The destination of the two people's trip this time is a small city in the south.

  Xiaobai and Master Zhang took turns driving, and they both drove for more than ten hours before arriving at the place.

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

  At the dinner table, the fish soup was delicious, the fried shrimp wrapped in noodles was golden, the roasted chicken with lotus fragrance was tender and delicious, and the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root was sweet and glutinous, which was Lan Shu's favorite dish.

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

   Originally planned to start the official travel itinerary tomorrow, but I heard that there will be a lantern festival in a nearby street in the past few nights, so Lan Shu and Xiaobai got into the car and planned to go to the lantern festival.

  The lantern festival in the south is very local, and the scene is quite lively.

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

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

   Perhaps it was infected by the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, Lan Shu is no longer deliberately controlling her food intake and sugar intake in order to maintain her figure.

  She was holding candied haws in one hand, while eating the southern pastries that Xiao Bai handed over from time to time.

   Seeing Lan Shu squinting her eyes happily because of the delicious food, and eating happily, Xiao Bai only thought it was cute.

  The two walked from the street to the end of the street, walking leisurely without feeling tired.

   Lan Shu, who ate all the way, was rarely full.

  In my impression, I haven't felt full for a long time, and after eating a full meal, she actually feels happy in her heart.

   For many people, being able to fill their stomachs every day is a happy thing, and Lan Shu has a deep understanding at this moment.

  It's a pity that she can only be 'presumptuous' like this occasionally, otherwise she will lose her figure if she eats too much.

  …

  The next day, the trip officially begins!

  The scenery of the small town in the south is completely different from that in the north. In this kind of weather, you can go boating on the lake, which is cool and artistic, or you can climb a tall building and look down on the poetic scenery of the small town.

   After a day of playing, Lan Shu saw a lot of scenery, and her mood was particularly relaxed and open.

  She hasn't felt so relaxed in a long time.

  At night, I still eat southern specialties.

  Sweet bean curd, special snacks, no need for big fish and meat, Lan Shu has already eaten to her heart's content.

   Such a bland diet has even made Lan Shu like it unconsciously.

  She was even thinking that after returning to Kyoto, she might not be able to eat these delicious things.

  Even the southern restaurants in Kyoto can’t make the authentic delicacy here.

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

  Xiaobai saw his wife's mood, and gently embraced her in his arms, "I will bring you here when I have time later."

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

   Lan Shu has already planned that when Xiaobai's winter vacation is over, maybe they can spare time to see the winter in the south after finishing their work.
