Lin Jianshen, unusually, swore: "Holy shit!"

"Is this something I can listen to without spending any money?"

"Stay away from me, I'm afraid your sleazy aura will infect me."

After a few seconds, he couldn't help but remind him, "I remember Director Feng seems to have a son who's in elementary school, right?"

The show-off guy said, "Then you don't understand, buy one get one free, isn't that great?"

"Childhood is incredibly difficult, you have to raise them by changing their diapers and poop."

"It grew directly, skipping this step."

"No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who's making money."

Lin Jianshen murmured, "No wonder everyone says the entertainment industry is a murky place."

The show-off scoffed, "This is nothing. I've even seen male actors try to get into bed with wealthy female investors."

"I observed the stars at night and specifically studied the alignment of the seven planets."

"There are also actresses who acted as human Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and resources) in order to gain access to opportunities."

He looked down and said, "I'm not bad looking, it's just that my height is a bit of a disadvantage."

"But I can't keep playing minor roles forever, so how about I try astrology?"

"I just don't know if it will hurt."

Lin Jianshen distanced himself from him: "Don't say I know you when you leave."

"I can't bear the shame."

The show-off guy was depressed and went back to his dormitory.

Lin Jianshen stayed in his room, carefully studying the script, and joined the crew a day later.

The female lead in this drama is Zhong Ran.

On second thought, it wasn't entirely unexpected, since we all work in the same company.

Moreover, the script for this drama is quite good, so there's a high chance that Zhong Ran will take it on.

This show needs to be released before National Day to capitalize on the holiday traffic.

So filming started very quickly.

After several days of intensive filming.

The final scenes involve the championship competition.

Lin Jianshen is about to make his appearance.

In the dressing room, Lin Jianshen's face underwent a "fine-tuning" treatment.

The makeup artist spent almost an hour working on him, and finally, after examining his face, nodded in satisfaction: "All done."

Lin Jianshen looked at himself in the mirror.

His face wasn't actually very fair before.

Although he had decided to act in short dramas a long time ago and took good care of his face, he inevitably got sunburned when delivering food.

However, I've been very careful about protection lately, and I've also been using some of Xia Tingwan's skincare products.

We've raised quite a few more.

Then the makeup artist made some adjustments, and she truly had a face as beautiful as jade.

Even the makeup artist was a little taken aback by his handsomeness.

She took out her phone and took a selfie with Lin Jianshen: "Teacher Lin, with this face, you're sure to become a star someday."

Lin Jianshen laughed and said, "It's not that easy."

The equipment was already set up on set, and there were still ten minutes before filming officially began.

Several actors playing referees have taken their positions.

The extras gathered in twos and threes on the side, some playing staff members, some playing media workers, and a few playing onlookers.

The stagehand had just finished setting up the venue and stepped aside, muttering something to himself.

This time, Feng Ting is not the director; she has stepped down to the position of assistant director.

Sitting in front of the monitor was a male director, also from Chasing Wind Media, who was known for his strictness.

It is said that when he is supervising a film, he will scold anyone who makes even the slightest mistake.

He flipped through the notebook in his hand, then suddenly looked up and asked loudly:

"Zhong Ran, why are your clothes wrong?"

The entire set fell silent because of his stern voice.

This wasn't a question directed at Zhong Ran, but at the person in charge of clothing.

Zhong Ran plays Su Yun, a domineering female CEO who was once the male lead's childhood sweetheart.

The male protagonist was abducted by human traffickers when he was a child, and the two lost contact.

Through continuous hard work, she opened a catering company.

Her business was booming, but she was suppressed by the second male lead because she refused to be his girlfriend.

If the male lead can defeat the second male lead this time, she can get rid of her current disadvantage.

In the script, she is one of the organizers of this competition.

Therefore, he wore a Chanel suit, which made him look quite formal.

Instead of the floral dress she wore on her date with the male lead later in the story.

The costume manager was a young girl. When the director stared at her, her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes began to redden.

The pace of work in this industry is extremely fast, and actors change costumes very frequently.

An actor might change clothes ten or more times a day.

All the actresses from the film crew came to her to change clothes, which was actually quite difficult to remember.

Under this workload, making mistakes is actually the norm.

It's not an unforgivable mistake.

But this director is known for his strictness, and he might even dock her pay.

The little girl was so nervous that she could barely speak coherently.

Zhong Ran smiled, walked over and patted her shoulder: "Little girl, go and get my clothes."

Her tone was slightly teasing: "If you dare to mess up my clothes again, the domineering CEO Su Yun will bankrupt your family."

She then switched to the strong-willed tone of Su Yun from the script: "It's getting cold, it's time to go bankrupt."

"Director, how do I look?"

"The weather is getting cold and the king is breaking up" is a popular meme in the short drama.

Such a beautiful woman was performing right in front of me, and she could switch between different styles so easily and smoothly.

The director's tense face relaxed a little, and he nodded: "Not bad, not bad."

The atmosphere in the air eased imperceptibly.

The little girl brought the clothes back, and Zhong Ran went into the tent next to her, changed her clothes, and came out.

Lin Jianshen happened to be standing not far away and saw her holding a piece of chocolate and giving it to the little girl.

She lowered her head and said a few more words. The little girl looked up, her eyes still red, but the corners of her mouth had already curved up, and she gave her a grateful smile.

Zhong Ran patted her arm and turned to walk towards the film set.

There is a row of cooking stations on set.

A man in his forties, dressed as a chef, was standing outside the film set.

He was the stunt double "Master Wang" provided by the production team for the actors.

Soon, several camera positions started shooting simultaneously.

Some extras came on stage, only to be eliminated very quickly.

Finally, it was Lin Jianshen's turn to take the stage.

In his previous life, Lin Jianshen learned Huaiyang cuisine from his master.

It includes Yangzhou fried rice.

Originally, there was no fixed standard for Yangzhou fried rice; people could make it however they wanted.

Outsiders generally refer to the fried rice here as Yangzhou fried rice.

Later, Yangzhou fried rice gradually gained fame, so in 2015 the authorities released a unified production standard.

This has been standardized.

Yangzhou fried rice is different from West Lake Vinegar Fish. West Lake Vinegar Fish is only popular because of the skeptical outsiders.

Locals usually throw the plate away after cooking it.

Yangzhou fried rice tastes good and is suitable for all ages.

Moreover, it is a typical "dish that combines rice and vegetables"—it can be served as both a side dish and a main course—so it is very popular.

This is one of Master Lin Jianshen's signature skills.

After practicing flipping the wok with sand, the first dish Lin Jianshen learned from his master was Yangzhou fried rice.

Even if this body has no muscle memory, he can do it with his eyes closed.

But Lin Jianshen thought that his role meant he couldn't showcase his culinary skills too much.

Otherwise, it wouldn't fit the role's positioning.

Using only 60% of one's culinary skills would be too weak.

Every time he cooks at home, he uses 60% of his culinary skills, and Xia Tingwan eats it all up. This is because Xia Tingwan didn't have much oil in her stomach before, and she was growing taller, so she could eat a lot.

So, this time I should be able to use 70% of my culinary skills without any problems, right?

He tossed the empty wok, shook the spatula to test its feel, and then heated the oil in the wok.

Once the edges of the egg mixture have solidified, quickly stir it with a spatula to break it up into golden-yellow egg pieces. When it's about 70-80% cooked, scrape it out with the spatula and set it aside.

Add oil again, turn on the heat and stir-fry the prepared ingredients until they are just cooked through, then scrape out the ingredients.

Drop the loosened rice into the pot, turn up the heat and stir-fry until the rice is loosened, then add all the other ingredients.

Turn the heat to high and stir-fry evenly.

Then turn off the heat, sprinkle in some chopped green onions, and quickly toss the pan to release the aroma using the residual heat.

In fact, the complete steps taught by his master also included changing the heat and adding soy sauce to enhance the flavor.

It's much more complicated than that.

But since he had decided to only use 70% of his culinary skills, Lin Jianshen didn't cook the whole thing.

Director Deng Lin whispered to Feng Ting, "Director Feng, the actor you discovered has really put in a lot of effort."

"His wok-flipping technique is so smooth, it seems he doesn't even need Master Wang to reshoot."

Deng Lin couldn't cook and was a complete novice in this area. She only felt that Lin Jianshen's technique was very skilled, but couldn't see much of the trick.

The chefs waiting in line were already astonished.

To be able to finish so smoothly in such a short time and control the heat so well—who would believe that without expert guidance?

No, if your production team has someone like that, why did you hire me?

Are you asking me to make a fool of myself here?

On second thought, he was the third male lead, a character he was still quite a bit, so he definitely couldn't do such rough work.

Then I felt relieved.
