Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

That night, Zhang Ze lay in bed reminiscing about the passionate kiss he had shared with Zeng Lai earlier that day, smacking his lips in lingering pleasure.

Wow, the older women in the entertainment industry are really appealing!

The next day, during a break in filming,

The male actors sat together, smoking and chatting.

Zhang Ze didn't spend every day with the actresses on set; he interacted more with the male actors and crew members.

There were many behind-the-scenes staff from Hong Kong in the crew, and Zhang Ze would chat with them whenever he had free time, listening to them tell old gossip from Hong Kong.

Sometimes, when not filming, Zhang Ze would voluntarily help the crew with their work.

He can be seen handling everything from lighting and arranging set design, props, and sound recording.

He was always curious and wanted to be involved in everything.

They would even run up behind the director and try to learn some basic skills from him.

On set, Zhang Ze, the male lead, had absolutely no celebrity airs and could chat with everyone on set.

Sometimes when filming got tiring, Zhang Ze would even offer cigarettes to the extras.

During his month-long stay in Hengdian, Zhang Ze has established a reputation for being down-to-earth and a very nice person.

Gao Yang, who was filming a period drama at the Qin Palace next door, heard the extras' discussions.

Some extras even used the fact that they accepted the cigarette from Zhang Ze as a topic of conversation, showing off to their colleagues.

Zhang Ze is a very nice person, not at all like a celebrity. He even offered me a cigarette. I've been an extra for three years, and no celebrity has ever offered me a cigarette or sat down to chat with me.

For this reason alone, I'll be a fan of his forever.

With these kinds of comments circulating among the highly mobile extras in Hengdian, Zhang Ze has already established an image of being a kind and approachable person among them.

The other extras who had no prior contact with Zhang Ze also developed a better impression of him after hearing about him.

Public opinion can be a powerful force, and we shouldn't underestimate these hundreds of thousands of extras.

The true character of many actors is revealed through their private interactions.

After all, as extras, they get to have close contact with celebrities and ordinary people.

The words that come out of their mouths inspire a sense of trust.

Of course, there were also those who felt sorry for them and made sarcastic remarks.

These are just a drop in the ocean; they won't amount to much.

After sharing a cigarette with the actors, Zhang Ze picked up the script and began reciting his lines.

As the male lead, Zhang Ze has a lot of lines.

During breaks in filming, he would cram in his lines.

At this moment, Zeng Lai came over carrying a cloth bag, took something out of it, and stuffed it into Zhang Ze's arms.

Looking down, I found it was a bunch of snacks.

There are several kinds, including rice crackers, spicy strips, and crispy noodles.

"So much delicious food!" Zhang Ze exclaimed.

"You're cramming again. You can't be too stingy with memorizing lines. You should eat something good to boost your brainpower," Zeng Lai joked.

Zeng Lai is a veteran actor with his own unique method of memorizing lines, so he has no pressure when it comes to delivering them.

Zhang Ze, on the other hand, was a newcomer to the field and this was his first time playing a leading role, so his amount of lines suddenly increased dramatically.

I'm still using the same old stupid method of rote memorization from high school!

He felt a lot of pressure when it came to his lines, and Zeng Lai would often tease him about it.

Zhang Ze wasn't angry and said with a smile, "Sister Zeng Lai, you've been feeding me a lot lately, and I've gained several pounds!"

"If I get too fat to find a girlfriend, you'll have to take responsibility for me!"

Zeng Lai rolled her eyes at him, then playfully flicked a strand of hair from her forehead and said reproachfully, "You can't find a girlfriend because you're stupid and brainless, not because of your figure. I'm not taking the blame for that!"

"Let me ask you if it tastes good!" Zeng Lai asked playfully, holding up a bag of instant noodles in front of him.

"Delicious! I love this spicy flavor the most!" Although Zhang Ze was saying he was going to gain weight, his hands were moving quickly.

I've already opened the packaging and started eating.

After getting closer to Zeng Lai, Zhang Ze discovered that she was actually a little glutton.

Zeng Lai had to maintain her figure to lose weight, so although she could eat snacks, she could only eat a very small amount each time.

Despite her cravings, she wanted to try a few bites of everything. After she tasted the newest items, the rest ended up going to Zhang Ze, which resulted in Zhang Ze receiving a constant stream of snacks from Zeng Lai every day.

It made Zhang Ze feel like he was back in his school days, with a gluttonous female classmate who could eat and drink for free every day!

Filming of "The Legend of Shrimp Ball" is progressing steadily in a tense yet pleasant atmosphere.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the filming location moved from Hengdian to Shanghai. Zhang Ze met Zeng Baoyi again after a long separation.

The female reporter, played by Zeng Baoyi, only appeared later in the series.

Except for the first few days of filming when I stayed with the crew to shoot a few scenes, I left the crew to film other movies.

It's common for actors to work on two or three film sets at the same time, unless the director is very powerful and influential, in which case they would require the actor to focus on filming only one series.

The saying "time is money" is perfectly exemplified in the lives of actors.

Which popular celebrity doesn't have their schedule packed full by their management company?

Even Zhang Ze, a relatively unknown third-tier star who hasn't yet achieved mainstream success, would have other gigs arranged by his agent if he weren't the male lead in this drama.

On the set in Shanghai, Zhang Ze lay on a folding chair, head tilted back, catching up on sleep.

We filmed all night last night, only rested for noon, and continued filming in the afternoon.

After two or three consecutive days of intense filming, even Zhang Ze, despite his youth, couldn't keep up with the demands of the job.

After finishing the afternoon shoot, I took every opportunity to catch up on sleep whenever I had a spare moment.

In his sleep, Zhang Ze felt something teasing him; his nose, mouth, and forehead felt itchy.

As the sensations gradually became clearer, Zhang Ze opened his sleepy eyes and saw that it was Zeng Lai bending down with a mischievous grin, teasing him with her hair on his face.

Opening her eyes, she saw Zeng Lai's pretty face. Zeng Lai was wearing a black off-shoulder dress, her two white shoulders shining brightly against the black background. She looked aloof yet cute, elegant yet intimate.

Seeing Zhang Ze open his eyes, Zeng Lai grinned smugly and said, "Get up and start filming! If you keep sleeping, the director will cry."

"Zeng Lai, you owe me back my sweet dream! I finally got married in my dream and was about to go through the wedding ceremony! I was just about to lift the veil to see what the bride looked like, and you woke me up!" Zhang Ze took the opportunity to act shamelessly and try to blackmail Zeng Lai.

Zeng Lai just giggled and ignored his comment; their playful banter on set had become a regular occurrence.

Even the crew members are used to it and it has become a habit.

After filming a scene, Zeng Lai took out his phone and showed Zhang Ze an unflattering photo of himself.

Zhang Ze picked up his phone and saw that he was sleeping in a funny pose, and Zeng Lai had taken a funny picture of him.

Some of the photos show people standing next to or behind him making funny poses!

Zeng Lai, dressed in a gorgeous gown, should have been a dignified and elegant lady, but she struck a comical pose in stark contrast to Zhang Zexing, who was wearing a tattered t-shirt next to her.

"If you dare to make me angry, I will post these photos online for my fans to see."

"Don't blame me if you lose followers!" Zeng Lai waved his phone smugly.

Zhang Ze wanted to laugh upon hearing this, wondering who they were trying to blackmail!

Everyone has a trump card up their sleeve.

He then took out his phone and opened the photo album.
