The first place they visited was Yao Family Winery.
The owner of this distillery is said to be a descendant of a family of ancient brewers. By this generation, many of the traditional brewing techniques had been lost, so the craft can only be passed down through generations of this family.
The owner of the distillery received the news late last night that the TV crew would be coming to film here, and had already made preparations.
He watched Chu Yu and his companion walking towards the winery, his heart filled with anticipation.
He knew the show was popular, and if he could perform well on camera and gain attention, perhaps the art of handcrafted winemaking could continue to be passed down.
"Hello teachers, I'm the owner of the winery."
Chu Yu nodded and, led by the distillery owner, slowly walked into the Yao Family Winery, a place steeped in history.
The interior of the winery is simply and unpretentious, with wooden floors and tables and chairs that give it a calm and dignified feel. Several red lanterns hang from the wooden pillars, casting a faint glow.
"Please have a seat, everyone. We will now demonstrate the winemaking process to you live."
The production team also dedicated a separate shot to the distillery owner.
"A century-old vintage, rich and aromatic, from our Yao Family Winery..."
Just as Chu Yu and the other person were patiently listening to the lecture, a long queue had formed outside Yao Family Winery, which had started at some point.
These people are all here to audition for the role of a beautiful mother in the film crew.
The interview was originally scheduled to take place a few hundred meters away, but because there were so many tourists and it was so crowded, the queue inexplicably ended up here.
Some tourists had no idea what they were queuing for, thinking they were queuing to buy food, and were curiously looking around.
"Make way! Those who aren't having interviews, please don't crowd here!"
"The production crew is recording a live show ahead, everyone please don't walk this way!"
"What? Where are the celebrities?? I'm here!"
The crowd of tourists became increasingly chaotic as they pushed and shoved, spreading rumors that there were artists or celebrities on different sides, which made the crowd more and more agitated.
Half an hour later, Chu Yu and Xu Mengying, who had just finished watching the winemaking process, walked out of the winery.
The two, who had been enjoying themselves, stopped in their tracks upon seeing the chaotic scene outside.
The staff, already pushed more than 100 meters away, were shouting hoarsely, "Stop pushing! Stop pushing!"
Chu Yu: "?"
What are they all doing?
Xu Mengying had seen many such scenes before, but her fans were always very orderly when they cheered for her, and there was never this kind of crowding.
She reacted quickly and pulled Chu Yu back into the winery.
[Hahahaha, wow, the tourists here are going crazy!]
[Why do I hear some tourists still shouting " Legend of Ancient Love " or something like that?]
[Didn't you know? Chu Yu and his group's trip clashed with that of the film crew next door; it's because of both of them combined that things turned out like this.]
At this moment, the security team from the ancient town finally reacted and quickly ran over to organize the scene.
Brother Li, the assistant director of " Legend of Ancient Love ", was specially sent by the director to conduct on-site auditions for the actress playing the role of the beautiful mother.
He had a pretty good first two rounds of interviews.
Later, I suddenly needed to pee and went to the toilet. When I came back, I found myself stuck outside and unable to get back in.
Looking around, there was a sea of people, with tourists exclaiming and making noise, seemingly taking pictures of everyone with their phones.
Brother Li was thus blocked outside the crowd, unable to move an inch.
"Let me through! I'm the assistant director who interviewed you!!"
No one listened to this, and the tourists continued to excitedly take pictures everywhere.
Brother Li: "..."
And so, Brother Li began to drift along with the crowd, squeezing and pushing, until the town's security team arrived and began to manage the congested tourist crowd.
Brother Li finally found a chance to prove his identity and quickly grabbed one of the security guards, "Brother, do you know me? I'm the assistant director of the ' Legend of Ancient Love ' film crew next door. I just went to the restroom and got pushed over here."
The security guard gave Brother Li a serious once-over, clearly not recognizing him. "Excuse me, please follow the instructions on site."
Brother Li: "..."
What terrible things has he done?!
Chu Yu and Xu Mengying, on the other hand, were quite comfortable. Since they couldn't go out anyway, the two continued to eat and drink in the tavern.
Only after the security team had cleared all the tourists from the scene did the production crew inform them that they could leave the store.
Chu Yu and Xu Mengying exchanged a glance, then stood up in unison and began to walk out of the store.
Just as Chu Yu stepped out of the winery, he heard a familiar voice from across the street, "No, don't take me with you! I really am the assistant director of the film crew next door. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask. Would I lie about this?"
Because of the mixed crowd, many people fabricate identities to deceive the security team.
So at first, the security guards were indeed suspicious of Brother Li, but after hearing what he said, it seemed he wasn't lying.
The security team quickly dispatched one person to inquire at the film crew next door.
Brother Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, he turned around and saw Chu Yu standing on the steps.
Chu Yu wore a white Hanfu dress, the hem of which swayed in the wind. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Every now and then, she would lift a strand of hair, creating the atmosphere of a beautiful woman in ancient style.
The assistant director's eyes lit up immediately.
Found it!
Isn't this the image of the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms?
Just then, the security guard who had gone to ask someone at the neighboring film crew came over with a crew member.
