Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

After Zeng Lai left, Zhang Ze's days on set became less joyful.

However, there is one advantage: Zhang Ze no longer has to film kissing scenes with Zeng Baoyi under Zeng Lai's nose.

If Zeng Lai had been standing next to him, Zhang Ze really couldn't imagine whether he could have continued acting.

Two weeks later, filming for "Shrimp Ball Legend" finally wrapped up in Shanghai.

When Zhang Ze finished filming his first leading role, he was so moved that he shed tears when the director called out "Filming wrapped."

Three months, more than 900 scenes.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand know how arduous it is!

When Zhang Ze finished filming, Zeng Lai, who was far away in Hengdian, had already joined the crew for several days and started filming "Mother's Heart".

When the press conference for "Mother's Heart" was held and Zeng Lai was confirmed to play the role of Liang's mother in the drama, it caused a great sensation in the entertainment industry.

Everyone was surprised and saddened that Zeng Lai was so young to be playing a mother role.

Although Zeng Lai wasn't a big star, her fame was in no way inferior to that of A-list celebrities.

For a time, there was much discussion about Zeng Lai playing the role of the mother.

What did Zeng Lai do to end up playing a mother at only thirty-something years old?

[Zeng Lai, a Buddhist-like figure, missed out on a decade of fame with Zhang Yimou's films, where he remained unknown despite his talent; a great beauty ultimately relegated to playing mothers] etc.

Zhang Ze was also somewhat surprised when he saw these news reports.

I never expected you to have such courage!

But most of all I felt was heartache.

He could imagine how upset Zeng Lai must have felt facing all this criticism from the outside world.

After filming wrapped, he immediately took a plane back to Hengdian.

When Zhang Ze arrived at the set of "Mother's Heart," Zeng Lai was chatting happily with Zhang Jiani, who played her daughter.

When Zhang Ze suddenly appeared in front of him, Zeng Li stared in surprise.

Zeng Lai covered her mouth in disbelief, then happily ran over, "Why are you here! Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I was just thinking of giving you a surprise! So I sneaked into the village, don't shoot!" Zhang Ze replied with a smile.

At this moment, the other members of the crew also saw Zhang Ze and all turned their attention to the two of them.

Xu Qing, with great tact, carried coffee and fruit to distribute to the crew.

"Who is this young man?" the famous actress Juanzi asked Zhang Jiani in a low voice.

"I don't know her. She looks like she's in the industry! She even has an assistant with her!" Zhang Jianni shook her head.

Although Zhang Ze is somewhat famous, he is not a big star. He has never met the other actors in the Mother's Heart drama, so it is normal that they do not know each other.

At this moment, Zeng Lai led Zhang Ze to the front of everyone for introduction.

Upon learning that Zhang Ze was also in the same industry, everyone greeted him politely, after all, people are obliged to help those who help them.

She was still holding the coffee that someone had given her!

Zhang Ze stayed on set for about ten minutes before asking to leave.

Zeng Li got up to see him off and walked with him out of the film set.

The two walked a long way, reluctant to part.

Seeing you happy makes me feel relieved!

"Did you rush over because you were worried about me?" Zeng Lai asked, tilting his head.

"Yes! I saw a lot of talk about it outside, and I was worried it would upset you, so I came!"

"Thank you, I'm not as fragile as you think!"

"Yes, yes, I underestimated Sister Zeng!"

Suddenly, Zeng Lai turned around and stood in front of Zhang Ze.

She raised her fair, jade-like arm and used her slender, long fingers to lift his chin.

With an alluring air, she said, "Don't call me 'sister,' please call me Aunt Zeng! I'm playing mothers now, and my daughter is about your age!"

"Handsome young man, would you like me to introduce my daughter, Jia Ni, to you as your girlfriend? You saw it yourself, Jia Ni is absolutely stunning, a beauty that could shame the moon and put flowers to shame..."

Zeng Lai was wearing a cheongsam at this time, with her long, beautiful hair piled up behind her head, looking like a graceful and wealthy lady.

Zhang Ze looked at Zeng Lai's captivating eyes and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

My mind is filled with Black Peony from "The Story of Shrimp Ball".

Zhang Ze suddenly wrapped his arms around Zeng Lai and hugged him tightly.

He whispered in her ear, "I don't like your daughter, I like you! Sister Zeng Lai, be my girlfriend!"

Suddenly embraced by Zhang Ze, Zeng Lai gasped in surprise and tried to struggle.

Hearing Zhang Ze's confession, Zeng Lai was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"He actually confessed his feelings to me! He definitely had ulterior motives!"

Zeng Lai felt extremely conflicted, with countless thoughts swirling in her mind, unsure of what to do.

Actually, she was quite flustered when she pretended to introduce Zhang Jiani to Zhang Ze.

She had a feeling that Zhang Ze's visit this time was not simple, so she took the initiative to mention introducing him to a girlfriend, someone her age who could be her aunt.

I just didn't expect Zhang Ze to be so unpredictable and not at all tactful.

That ball was passed straight to them!

In the chaos, Zeng Lai's composure crumbled. Her mind went blank; she didn't know how to react!

"Don't joke around. There are so many young and beautiful actresses in the industry, how could you possibly be interested in an old woman like me!" Zeng Lai whispered in Zhang Ze's arms.

"I don't like anyone else, no matter how pretty or young they are. From the first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you!"

"I'm over thirty, a full twelve years older than you, don't joke around!" Zeng Lai said somewhat flusteredly in Zhang Ze's arms.

"I'm not joking."

"I'm old enough to be your aunt!"

"Aunt Zeng, I like you!"

Zeng Lai blushed, then laughed angrily, scolding, "You shameless scoundrel, you pervert! You even prey on your aunt!"

Zeng Lai angrily punched Zhang Ze's back.

Zhang Ze cupped Zeng Lai's cheeks in his hands, gazed at her affectionately, and gently kissed her.

Zeng Lai did not dodge, but slowly closed his eyes.

About two minutes later, Zeng Lai, who was out of breath, pushed Zhang Ze away.

"Who taught you to kiss like that? You almost suffocated me!" Zeng Li wiped his mouth and rolled his eyes at Zhang Ze.

"Hehe, of course it was you, my master, who taught me!"

Zeng Lai's expression froze for a moment, then he realized that he really was the one who taught this guy how to kiss, and he said with a mix of embarrassment and anger.

"I taught him the passionate kiss according to the script. Who kisses like that normally?! His lips are practically swollen!"

"Then why don't you teach me how to kiss normally? I'll definitely learn well!" Zhang Ze pretended to be very serious, with a playful look in his eyes.

"Get lost! Teaching a disciple is like killing your master! I'm never teaching you again!" Zeng Lai shoved Zhang Ze, rolled his eyes at him, and walked towards the film set.

She was very shy, her fair cheeks flushed, and she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible!

Watching Zeng Lai sway his hips as he walked away!

Zhang Ze continued shouting with a smile.

"Master, could you teach me how to kiss again?"

"Aunt Zeng, don't go!"

Zeng Lai couldn't listen anymore, so he covered his ears and ran away.

Watching Zeng Lai's departing figure, Zhang Ze's lips curled into a smile.

Thinking to myself, "It seems like calling them Master and Aunt Zeng would be pretty exciting!"

But his happiness didn't last long before his expression changed.

He said in a somewhat panicked manner, "Damn it, this is bad..."
