Chapter 40 Two Women Accompanying
Seeing the two women busy in the kitchen, Song Mo felt embarrassed to just sit there and went in to help, and that's when he fell into their trap.
He was being bossed around by the two women, doing everything from washing vegetables and chopping scallions to smashing garlic and handing out plates.
Cooking together is an activity that can easily foster a relationship.
Over time, the three of them became familiar with each other, and Song Mo readily changed his address for Fan Binbin to "Sister Binbin".
The kitchen was bustling with activity. The three of them worked for over an hour, preparing four dishes and a soup. The dishes looked quite appetizing when they were placed on the table.
Song Mo took a bite of the ribs and couldn't help but nod: "Great, Sister Binbin, your cooking is pretty good."
Fan Binbin smiled and said, "I learned this when I was filming 'My Fair Princess.' The conditions were really tough back then. Several of us actors shared a dilapidated bungalow and cooked for ourselves to save money."
She spoke of this past event in a very calm tone, as if she were talking about someone else's story.
But Song Mo could tell that those days were probably much worse than when he lived in a basement.
"How old were you back then?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.
"Sixteen or seventeen, I guess." Fan Binbin picked up a piece of shredded pork with garlic sauce with her chopsticks. "He's even younger than Song Mo is now."
Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Song Mo and suddenly laughed: "Then you two are quite alike, both of you have gone through hardships."
Song Mo picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, too embarrassed to say that he had only suffered for those two months.
Fan Binbin's life experience is actually quite legendary; she dared to go to Shanghai to study at the age of 15.
She became famous overnight after starring in "My Fair Princess" at the age of 17.
She has a wild spirit and an indomitable will.
Take today's incident of being surrounded in the supermarket, for example. If it were a typical girl in her early twenties, she would have been terrified and cried long ago.
Although she was nervous, she did not lose control of her emotions. She was able to protect herself and call her father immediately.
The three chatted while eating. Fan Binbin, a talkative person, shared embarrassing stories he had encountered while filming, which quickly won Gao Yuanyuan's high approval.
Fan Binbin's acting was slightly better than Gao Yuanyuan's at this moment, after all, she had studied acting for two years, but her acting style was still mainly based on staring.
When two mediocre people get together, it's like finding a kindred spirit in a humble, polluted place.
"Actually, I almost didn't get to act in 'Princess Pearl' back then." Fan Binbin put down her chopsticks and sighed. "Initially, I was cast as Ziwei and Zhao Wei as Xiaoyanzi. Later, the production team was worried that the two new faces couldn't carry the lead roles, so they asked me to play Jin Suo instead. I was so stubborn back then. I said I wouldn't play Ziwei, and I packed my things to leave. But the producer stopped me and persuaded me for a long time before I stayed."
"Is that so?" Song Mo asked, intrigued. "What happened next?"
"Later, I just played Jin Suo obediently." Fan Binbin smiled. "But to be honest, I was quite resentful at the time. Why was she replaced instead of me? So I competed with Zhao Wei every day on set. Once, we shared a dormitory and got into an argument over something trivial, and I made her cry. Looking back now, I feel quite embarrassed. I was young and immature back then."
Gao Yuanyuan listened with great interest: "I heard that conditions were extremely difficult back then?"
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
"That's right." Fan Binbin nodded. "When we were filming at the Chengde Mountain Resort, we filmed from summer to winter, and the lake was frozen over. Su Youpeng, that kid from Taiwan, had never experienced such cold weather before. He was dressed like a steamed bun, so we gave him the nickname 'Five Steamed Buns'."
Song Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"And there's also Li Mingqi," Fan Binbin continued, "the one who played Rong Momo. She's actually a really nice person. When filming the scene where she pricks Ziwei, she held the needle tip in her palm and touched Ruby Lin with the back of her hand, afraid that she would actually prick her. As a result, after the show aired, she was pelted with eggs in the street and was wronged to death."
"I heard she even wrote a short biography for Rong Momo?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fan Binbin said with great admiration. "When Teacher Li was figuring out the role, she even wrote down Rong Momo's background herself. Her husband died when she was pregnant, and her son died shortly after birth. Just then, the Empress was born and needed a wet nurse, so she entered the palace and protected the Empress like her own daughter. After she finished writing it, she said she immediately understood why Rong Momo was so ruthless."
The two women chatted enthusiastically, and Song Mo listened with great interest.
After discussing "My Fair Princess," Gao Yuanyuan became interested and talked about her experience filming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."
"We had a lot of fun filming back then," Gao Yuanyuan said, picking up a piece of pork rib. "There was a scene where we were on Ice and Fire Island. There were four actresses: me, Alyssa Chia, Chen Zihan, and Chen Xiuli. We were just making funny faces out of boredom. It was Alyssa Chia's bad idea, but I ended up making the most funny face. In the end, the photo was published by the media who visited the set."
"I've seen that photo too!" Fan Binbin laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Your expression was priceless."
"That's right," Gao Yuanyuan laughed herself.
"Is Alec Su particularly fun in your group?" Fan Binbin asked.
"Him," Gao Yuanyuan thought for a moment, "is quite serious about filming, but very quiet in private. However, there's something really funny about him. He plays both Zhang Wuji and his father Zhang Cuishan at the same time, and he often gets mixed up in the middle of filming, not even realizing it when the director yells 'cut'."
Song Mo found these behind-the-scenes stories even more interesting than TV dramas.
After discussing Gao Yuanyuan's next film crew, Fan Binbin didn't neglect Song Mo, and quickly steered the conversation to him.
"You signed with Ocean Butterflies? Is that A-Do's company?" She wasn't in the music industry and didn't know much about these things.
"Yes, I signed with Yanjing Ocean Butterflies, which is essentially a branch office," Song Mo said softly.
"That's pretty impressive. I heard that things will be much better after signing with a company. Sometimes I even think about signing with a company, because it's too tiring to rely on myself." She said this with a hint of envy.
Gao Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, "Everyone wants to sign with a company, but they don't think much of us. Unlike Song Mo, Ocean Butterflies practically begged him to sign with them."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. We just have the same goal," Song Mo said with a light laugh.
Fan Binbin looked at Song Mo in surprise upon hearing this, "I didn't expect Ocean Butterflies Music in Beijing to value you so much. Does that mean you'll be able to release an album very soon?"
She had overheard people talking about this on set before. Generally, newcomers who sign with a company can only endure hardship. Only those that the company particularly values can release an album in a short period of time. After all, releasing an album these days is not cheap. She had previously thought that Song Mo was also a poor newcomer waiting for an opportunity.
"It's still in preparation, but it's estimated to be released next year," Song Mo said.
Fan Binbin's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then you must tell me when the time comes. I'll definitely support you."
"Okay, I'll give you a signed copy later. It's very precious, so remember to keep it safe."
Fan Binbin was amused by his matter-of-fact tone: "You really don't hold back."
Gao Yuanyuan chimed in from the side: "That's just how he is. You'll see once you get to know him. He's incredibly shameless."
Song Mo protested, dissatisfied: "This is confidence, not shamelessness."
The two women exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Just as the three were chatting and laughing, the entertainment gossip section of Tianya suddenly became lively.
