Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

The two cucumbers Zhang Ze is holding are rare items here.

"I drove over 100 kilometers with my assistant to Casablanca last night to buy it."

"You have so much energy! I went straight to sleep after work last night!" Haiqing said enviously.

"Mmm, eating a cucumber right now feels so good! Why do I suddenly find cucumbers so delicious!"

"Heh, that's all an illusion. Once you go back to your country, you won't like this thing anymore!"

"Alright! You two were eating alone here, caught red-handed!"

Huang Jingyu walked by. This young man is in good physical condition and still has the energy to wander around.

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, big brother, could you give me some?"

He was too embarrassed to take the cucumber from Hai Qing's hand.

But he was very envious of what Zhang Ze had.

The two playfully wrestled for a while, and Huang Jingyu snatched half of the cucumber from his hand.

The three people sat on the steps, eating cucumbers without a care for their image.

Zhang Ze laughed and said, "Jingyu ate my cucumber, so you have to work for me, understand?"

"What kind of work are you doing?" Huang Jingyu asked worriedly, wondering if he would fall into a pit because of half a cucumber.

"Come dig for earthworms with me tonight! The soil for planting vegetables needs earthworms to breathe."

Huang Jingyu replied somewhat casually, "Hey, I'm just digging for earthworms! No problem, I used to dig for earthworms to fish when I was a kid."

"And collecting sheep dung!" Zhang Ze blurted out again.

"Ugh! Why would I pick up sheep dung? I won't do it, just thinking about it makes me sick!" Huang Jingyu shook his head like a rattle.

"We need sheep manure to fertilize the soil! There's no chemical fertilizer here, so we can only rely on organic fertilizer," Zhang Ze explained.

No matter how much Huang Jingyu refused, Zhang Ze dragged him out of the hotel that night.

Huang Jingyu walked reluctantly behind him, wearing a sun hat and black arm sleeves.

"Oh dear! Eating half a cucumber is a bit of a waste!"

"I only ate half a cucumber from you, and you made me pick up sheep droppings! Don't you have a conscience?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! My half-cucumber could save a life in this desert. What's wrong with your savior asking you to pick up sheep dung?"

"Is my life really that worthless?" he muttered to himself.

After leaving the hotel, the two found a small grove of trees nearby and started digging with shovels!

Because the film crew had more than 5 people, the area within a few hundred meters of the hotel was full of Chinese people.

Seeing the two behaving strangely, they all cast curious glances their way.

If there are familiar people, they will come over to say hello and chat for a few minutes.

The hotel is located in a small oasis, where earthworms are not hard to find.

After digging for earthworms for half an hour, the two began collecting sheep droppings along the road.

In Morocco, many people raise sheep and camels; these are the most abundant animals on the roads.

"Brother Ze, I never imagined in my life I'd be picking up sheep dung. You've really messed me up!"

"When I was little, my mom always said that if I didn't study hard, I'd only be able to shovel night soil when I grew up. I never imagined that even though I've done well, I'd still have to shovel night soil!"

Huang Jingyu was holding a military shovel and kept muttering to himself.

"Alright, don't be upset. Do a good job and I'll reward you with a tomato when we get back!"

"Really! You even have tomatoes?" Huang Jingyu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Alright! Just you wait and see! I guarantee I'll get you a whole big bag full!"

As soon as he heard there were tomatoes, he stopped grumbling.

The bags they were carrying weren't big; they were just ordinary plastic bags.

The two quickly filled two bags and carried them back to the hotel.

On the road, they saw two people carrying sheep dung, and everyone just smiled without saying a word.

They were already used to Zhang Zeneng's antics.

Back in his room, Zhang Ze mixed earthworms and sheep manure into the soil and then watered it again.

He now treats these vegetables like flowers.

Zhang Ze, who grew up in the countryside, is no stranger to growing vegetables. When he was a child, every household had a vegetable garden.

He has been growing vegetables with his mother since he was a child, so he has a lot of experience.

"Wow! Ze-ge, look! Isn't it sprouting here?"

Huang Jingyu squatted down to the side and exclaimed in surprise. He quickly went over and took a closer look.

"It really is! It's really sprouted!" He became somewhat excited.

I looked at the label, and it said green beans.

The tiny seed broke through the soil, revealing only a tiny green sprout.

"Grow up quickly! The responsibility of improving Africa's ecology rests on your shoulders!"

He happily sprayed some water on it.

Film crews are like big funnels; they can't hide any secrets.

The vegetables he planted sprouted, and the news spread throughout the entire film crew that very night.

Over the next few days, Zhang Ze took great care of these vegetables.

The weather in Africa is dry and the air humidity is low, so he found some tree branches to cover it.

Later, I felt that the temperature difference between day and night was large, and that night and day were four seasons apart, so I spent several days rummaging through the garbage dump looking for something suitable.

They eventually found a lot of materials and built a simple arched shed.

After a month of filming in this city, the twenty-odd styrofoam boxes actually grew quite well.

Today is the day the film crew moves to a new location, and everyone is busy packing and moving.

Zhang Ze, however, was somewhat perplexed.

"What should he do with all these dishes?"

We used styrofoam boxes because we needed to move the location around.

Surprisingly, more than half of the twenty-odd boxes of vegetables survived.

This piece, placed on the ground, is over ten square meters in size; such a large area would take up at least half the space of a truck.

But the production crew already had limited transportation capacity, and it was impossible to waste half a truckload of capacity for him.

He stood there, constantly thinking of a solution, but it was too late to ask the props team to weld an iron frame now.

Suddenly he heard a loud propeller sound coming from outside the house.

It turns out the film crew managed to rent a helicopter.

The film crew used three shooting methods: one was shooting with people carrying cameras, the second was shooting with drones, and the third was shooting with helicopters.

To achieve the desired filming effect, the director rented a helicopter for shooting.

Helicopters are too noisy, nobody likes flying them, and they always end up flying empty.

Since we're just killing time anyway, let's just pack his food; that way we can avoid wasting resources.

Zhang Ze quickly located the helicopter pilot, who was an American.

Upon hearing that Zhang Ze's request was of great interest, he immediately agreed.

"Jingyu, Yifang, and you, you guys help me carry these vegetables up to the helicopter!"

He called a few members of the foraging team and they started working.

We recruited people in the first place precisely for this purpose.

A dozen or so people each carried the load twice before it was all loaded onto the helicopter.

Zhang Ze tossed a pack of cigarettes to the helicopter pilot!

"Chinese smoking, you should try it, it's Chinese cigarettes!" he said to the foreigner with a smile.

When he came from China, he brought two cartons of cigarettes, which he mostly gave away.
