Song Zhusheng asked curiously, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you two meet?"

Jiang Nan: "This is a long story."

Song Zhusheng: "Then let's get straight to the point."

Jiang Nan said solemnly, "I am his father, and he is my son."

Song Zhusheng: "... Are you the one who's sick, or am I?"

Jiang Nan: "What illness could I possibly have?"

Song Zhusheng: "Delirium."

Jiang Nan furious. "Fine, so you're really on Fu Xingli."

Song Zhusheng readily agreed, "Then there must be something wrong with my ears; I misheard."

Jiang Nan: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then finally explained, "My wife is his cousin."

Song Zhusheng was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he and Fu Xingli had this kind of relationship.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After chatting about Fu Xingli, they huddled in a corner, sharing short videos and laughing hysterically.

When Lu Ren received Zhu Xia's call, he was carrying the lunch prepared by the film crew.

"Hello? Sister Xia, what's wrong?"

Zhu Xia asked, "Has that little brat Jiang Nan arrived yet?"

Lu Ren replied, "We've arrived."

"That's good," Zhu Xia said. "What are they doing now?"

Lu Ren walked over, squinted at them, and saw that Jiang Nan and Song Zhusheng both had cell phones, but for some reason, they insisted on sitting side by side using the same phone.

Like a little chick, it made "hehe" sounds, its shoulders shrugging along with it.

Lu Ren replied, "Watching videos."

Zhu Xia casually asked, "What video?"

Lu Ren said, "A video of two middle-aged women arguing while grocery shopping."

Zhu Xia: "..."

She remained silent for a few seconds, utterly bewildered as to what misfortune she had suffered in her past life, or what wrong she had done to deserve taking on two such artists, as if they were still elementary school students.

I scrolled through some short videos; the first scene this afternoon included a scene with Song Zhusheng.

Before he went to the dressing room, he specifically told Jiang Nan, "This scene is quite important, and we might have to rehearse it several times. If you get bored, you can go outside for a walk."

This is a nationally renowned film and television city, with plenty of places to eat, drink, and have fun.

Jiang Nan nodded repeatedly.

Actually, he was quite interested in everything about the film crew.

Since he transmigrated into the book, although he has been working in the entertainment industry, he has never acted in a film or television series, so everything he sees is new and exciting.

When Song Zhusheng came out, he had changed into a moon-white robe with a cinched waist that accentuated his slender figure. Two jade pendants even hung from his belt. He wore a white jade crown and had a high-quality wig. From a distance, he looked like a young nobleman from ancient times.

Jiang Nan rested his chin on his hand, with the Little Black Ball perched on his knee.

[771, You know what, Little Song really suits period dramas.]

The Little Black Ball nodded in deep agreement.

Song Zhusheng plays a civil official who comes from a prestigious family, is exceptionally talented, and achieves the highest honors in the imperial examinations at a young age, thus entering the Hanlin Academy.

The full title of this historical drama is " The Beacon Fires Deceive the Feudal Lords ". It is a big-budget production and tells the story of the male lead's rise from an unfavored prince to the throne with the support of the female lead.

The character Qiu Xing, played by Song Zhusheng, is actually a devoted male supporting character who is the female lead's childhood sweetheart and has been secretly in love with her for a long time.

In the struggle for the throne among the princes, he sided with the crown prince.

After the male protagonist ascended the throne, he originally intended to continue to give Qiu Xing important positions, but Qiu Xing voluntarily requested to be assigned to a remote community.

A new emperor brings a new court.

Moreover, his beloved girl has already married someone else; staying behind would only bring him heartbreak and physical harm.

-

Jiang Nan, clutching Song Zhusheng's script that was worn and crumpled from repeated readings, hastily skimmed through Qiu Xing's ending.

Suddenly I understand why Song Zhusheng became so popular because of this role.

" The Beacon Fires Deceive the Feudal Lords " is being filmed and broadcast simultaneously. The production team has already filmed half of the episodes, and the first episode has been sent for editing. It will officially premiere this weekend.

Song Zhusheng had three performances this afternoon. Jiang Nan stayed for almost two hours. Finally, she got so tired of sitting that she stood up and went outside for a walk.

There were many food stalls along the street. Jiang Nan bought a small portion of takoyaki, which contained six small balls. He used a wooden skewer to stick them in and strolled around while eating.

As he passed a clothing store, he was drawn to a row of knee pads displayed at the entrance.

The boy walked over, touched it, and found it to be quite thick.

The waitress, a young woman, came out of the room and asked with a smile, "What would you like to buy?"

Jiang Nan asked, "How effective are these knee braces?"

The young woman, without blushing or panting, said, "Don't worry, both of our knee braces are pure wool, conform to the body's curves, and are very affordable."

"Pure wool?" Jiang Nan was surprised. She touched it carefully and found that it did feel very good. She was instantly tempted. "How much is this?"

The young woman held up five fingers.

Jiang Nan asked, "Fifty?"

The young woman. "... Two thousand."

Jiang Nan: "..."

Why are you holding up five fingers for two thousand?

Jiang Nan looked at the knee pads in her hand; they were pure black on the outside and white wool inside.

These knee pads would look really cool on a big shot's legs.

Thinking this, Jiang Nan gritted her teeth and asked, "Where's the payment QR code?"

The young woman pulled out her payment QR code from her pocket. "Here."

As Jiang Nan paid, she said, "Don't hold up five fingers anymore; it can cause unnecessary misunderstandings for customers."

The young woman humbly asked, "How should I hold it up? I only have ten fingers."

Jiang Nan spoke earnestly and carefully, instructing her, "Next time you wear slippers, lift both feet up too, and you'll have twenty fingers."

Miss; "..."

As the boy left the store and his figure disappeared around the corner...

The young woman was about to go back to play her game when her mother came in carrying food. "What did you sell just now? How come I made two thousand in profit?"

The young woman casually pointed to the knee pads outside, "Look."

The young woman's mother looked closely, then her expression suddenly changed. "How many did that customer buy?"

The young woman held up one finger, "One."

The girl's mother. "..."

"Wow, this knee brace is only two hundred yuan."

The young lady. "..."

She couldn't play the game anymore, so she ran over and picked up the small sign next to her knee pads.

The words "Pure Wool, 2000 Yuan" were written in large black watercolor pen on it.

Doesn't it say two hundred yuan on it?

Her mother, exhausted, pointed to the small dot between the second and third zeros and said, "It's 200.00."

The young lady. "..."

She dropped her phone and rushed out of the store, but the person from before was nowhere to be found.

-

When Jiang Nan returned to the set, Song Zhusheng had already finished filming.

His scenes for the day were completely finished. He removed his makeup and put his own clothes back on.

He stared at the bag in Jiang Nan's hand and casually asked, "What did you buy?"

Jiang Nan shook the bag and said, "These are knee pads I bought for my wife. She has leg problems, and I was worried that the temperature would be too low in winter and hurt her legs."

Song Zhusheng paused, then repeated blankly, "He... has trouble walking?"

Jiang Nan nodded, staring at the bag in her hand, unaware of her best friend's expression.

Song Zhusheng's lips trembled slightly.

--How old does someone have to be to be considered "having difficulty walking"?!
