Hengcheng is not very big in a strict sense, after all, it is a town.

Moreover, the main functional areas are mostly concentrated in one area, making it quite convenient to explore.

However, during his time on set, Mingbei didn't go out much.

Now that filming is nearing completion, and the weather has been alright these past few days, no longer gloomy, it's a good time to go out for a stroll.

His scenes in "Scarlet Heart" were basically finished, but at this point, he also needed to film scenes for other characters.

After all, the storyline of the Fourteenth Prince is not as important as that of the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince.

Judging from the proportion of content, he should barely be considered the third male lead.

There are still the male lead and the second male lead ahead of them!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have finished filming earlier than the other two.

The main filming location for "Scarlet Heart" was the Hengcheng Film and Television City. Even though they were filming a Qing Dynasty drama, they couldn't actually go inside the Forbidden City to film on location.

Although Hengcheng is not large, legends about creation myths are often passed down.

Therefore, there are quite a few film crews operating in this small area at the same time.

Besides this palace complex, there are other smaller film and television bases in the surrounding area.

As you walk along Mingbei Road, you can see many small film crews preparing to shoot.

"I heard that when short dramas became popular in later generations, this place could accommodate thousands of short drama production crews every day!"

Short dramas are relatively more convenient and much easier to assemble.

Even now, without short dramas, this is still the first choice for many film crews.

The set was complete, with everything one could want, and all sorts of people gathered, all wanting to recreate Baoqiang's former glory.

However, it is still very difficult for these people who are new to the industry or have only played minor roles for many years to become famous.

"But Hengcheng's ability to seize the opportunity presented by the rise of the domestic film and television industry is itself a miracle..."

Mingbei muttered to himself, feeling both admiration for the hardships faced by these people from all over the country and a sense that Hengcheng's rise was a miracle of China.

Sometimes, a single stroke of fate is far more powerful than a thousand efforts or countless schemes.

There was a group of people ahead, and when the group leader appeared, he was immediately surrounded by the others.

"Hey boss, boss, are there any more corpse scenes today? I'm a professional!"

"Brother Ma, I can do it too! Just ask me!"

"And me too, Old Ma, don't forget me!"

The group leader, probably used to seeing this kind of scene before, waved his arms and shouted.

"We need fifty people this time, eighty yuan a day, they can be back by evening, lunch included, so line up in front of me!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Soon a queue formed in front of Mingbei, and many of the people in the queue were eager for success!

"Sigh, luck is a tricky thing to predict. It's incredibly difficult for an ordinary person to become a sensation!"

Even he himself couldn't be sure how far he could go with this show after it aired.

Of course, with his solid foundation, his future prospects are definitely much better than those of extras.

Reflecting on the connection between the massive cast of actors and the city beneath his feet, Mingbei exhaled a puff of white breath, shook his head, walked past the group, and continued on his way.

I went outside and walked around halfway, and I saw some things that I hadn't paid much attention to before.

There are professional teams here, and of course, there are also some makeshift teams.

It seems like a film crew formed by a group of people with a lot of enthusiasm, wanting to make a groundbreaking film.

"By the way, is this a sign of an economic upswing?"

Mingbei didn't know, but looking at these people, he felt that more of them were full of hope.

"Whoosh!"

As he was muttering to himself, he didn't notice someone walking towards him.

The person over there was also walking with their head down, a black bag slung over their arm, and clutching their stomach.

Just as the two were about to collide, Mingbei reacted quickly and dodged by turning around at the last second!

But even though he managed to avoid it, there was one thing he hadn't anticipated.

The ground was still a bit slippery after the snow. After turning around, I lost my footing and fell straight to the ground!

"Bang!"

"oops!"

The scream didn't come from him; after all, he's a grown man, it wouldn't be that serious from a fall.

The one who spoke was the girl with a slightly round face. She turned her head to look and cried out after seeing Mingbei fall to the ground.

Are you alright?

She glanced at the distance between the two and roughly guessed what had happened.

He then hurriedly squatted down to inquire about Mingbei's situation.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, huh?!"

Mingbei didn't really care about falling down. Although he wasn't exactly thick-skinned, it was just a fall, nothing serious.

However, when he met the other person's eyes, he showed a surprised expression.

He was quite familiar with this person.

At this moment, Mingbei pulled down the scarf covering the lower half of his face, revealing his entire face.

When his face appeared in front of that person, it visibly jolted him!

"Slurp!"

The man's mind went blank for a moment, and as he leaned forward, his foot slipped!

Seeing that she was about to fall, Mingbei immediately reached out and steadyed her, preventing the dramatic incident of her falling on top of him.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, the two people fall together, and then there's a follow-up, and so on.

However, Mingbei took an unconventional approach, avoiding any close contact between the two.

"Thank you, thank you!"

After regaining his balance, the man quickly thanked Mingbei.

But when her eyes met Mingbei's, and she looked down in the direction of his gaze, her face immediately turned red.

Her actions just now also revealed a corner of what was inside the black bag in her hand.

As something a girl needs to use during her special period, it's still embarrassing to show it off under these circumstances.

"Are you alright? If you're okay, I'll be going now!"

"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry, I won't try to scam you!"

The girl smiled faintly, but then quickly composed herself, her ears turning red as she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"She's here too?"

After a while, Mingbei patted his bottom and got up, looking at the girl's departing figure with some surprise.

This person is probably still relatively unknown, otherwise they wouldn't have to personally go out and buy things.

"What movie is she filming here again?"

Scratching his head, Mingbei couldn't find a clue.

He is not very familiar with the time periods of many of the current works, so naturally he cannot make accurate judgments.

He didn't think much of it, even as the cold wind blew.

It was just a chance encounter, and Mingbei was a little sentimental; there might not be any further contact afterward.

With his hands in his pockets, he continued walking forward and soon came to a corner.

This is another, slightly larger base, which also contains some smaller palaces. Many period dramas are filmed here.

However, they wouldn't let you in during the filming, but there were quite a few people outside the entrance.

Mingbei also went over to join in the fun and casually asked a guy standing next to him,

"Hey buddy, what kind of movie are they filming in here?"

"You didn't know? They're filming a new version of 'Princess Pearl'!"
