Chapter 223 He Shengming, playing Zhou Yafu
Yu Zheng's old face was squeezed in the middle, his eyes wide open, and there seemed to be a suspicious glint in the corner of his mouth.
Several staff members below were grinning foolishly, for some unknown reason.
The assistant next to him swallowed hard when he saw Jiang Bai turn his head away.
"You guys..."
Jiang Bai paused for three seconds, then put down the chicken leg, calmly walked over with the lunchbox in hand, and casually opened the door.
"Director Yu, and everyone else... are you all planning to come and inspect my meals?"
Jiang Bai asked indistinctly while chewing a mouthful of rice.
Upon seeing this, the group of people at the door all took a step back in perfect unison.
That expression practically screamed, "I didn't do anything!"
"Um... Ms. Bai Zhi, please continue, please continue."
Assistant director Lao Liu coughed lightly, but his eyes were fixed on the trembling piece of braised pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat in Jiang Bai's box:
"We just...just came to check if you were getting enough rest."
"He seems to be in good spirits, and has a great appetite. That's wonderful."
Yu Zheng looked at the steaming braised pork in Jiang Bai's hand, and then at Jiang Bai's breathtakingly beautiful face as he ate with extraordinary gusto. The hunger in his heart instantly exploded exponentially.
He has lived for so many years and directed so many plays.
For the first time, I realized that an actress could have such an irresistible allure when she eats.
No wonder the helpers were scrambling for food like madmen.
If it were him, looking at that face while eating, he could eat three more bowls of rice!
"Little White..."
Yu Zheng spoke softly, his voice weak, "This food...is it really that delicious?"
Jiang Bai tilted his head, the gold hairpin in his hair swaying slightly, and he pondered seriously for a moment:
"It's alright, mainly because the braised pork is tender enough and the quail eggs are flavorful."
"Director, if you don't mind, I have a little bit left in this box, would you like to try it?"
Yu Zheng stared at the braised pork, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.
Half a second later, his last shred of dignity as a renowned director triumphed over his instincts.
"No need! Do you think I'm the kind of person who steals actors' jobs?"
Yu Zhengyi sternly flicked his sleeve, turned to Xiao Wang, and roared:
"What are you waiting for! Go!"
"Go to that private restaurant near the film studio entrance and book two tables for me!"
"No, book three tables!"
"Bring along everyone in the crew who hasn't had enough to eat!"
"Damn it, I refuse to believe I can be driven mad by my own actors!"
The crowd cheered and dispersed in a flurry.
The area outside the lounge instantly became quiet.
Jiang Bai stared blankly at Yu Zheng's furious retreating figure, then looked at the lunchbox in his hand.
"What triggered that old fox? Is he going through early menopause?"
"Yeah, he's always cursing and swearing on set, how could he not complain!"
Jiang Bai shrugged, closed the door, and sat back down in his original seat with a clear conscience.
Looking at the few remaining boxed meals in his hand, he sighed.
"Sigh, should I be able to act more grief-stricken and indignant when filming starts this afternoon?"
He picked up the last piece of braised pork, a deep sadness flashing in his eyes.
"After all... a queen who hasn't had enough to eat is the loneliest."
Yes, he ate three boxed meals and he was still not full!
.......
Half an hour later, Yu was eating expensive private dishes, but he always felt that something was missing in his mouth.
His mind was filled with images of Jiang Bai devouring chicken legs.
"This is a ghost..."
While chewing on Kung Pao shrimp balls, Yu Zheng said indignantly to the assistant director:
"Old Liu, what's this kid's anatomy all about?"
"Why do I feel more envious watching him eat that cheap boxed lunch that costs a few dozen yuan than I am eating this meal that costs thousands of yuan?"
Assistant director Lao Liu sighed, gazing wistfully into the distance:
"Director, don't even think about it. This is called 'top-tier beauty with the power to make you want to eat.'"
"We're just a bunch of ordinary people. Teacher Jiang Baizhi... she's a gift from God to our crew, a real treat!"
Yu Zheng fell silent.
He decided that he must ask the stagehands to order more boxed meals tomorrow.
Not only to appease everyone, but mainly... he also wanted to try and see if he could experience the same satisfaction as Jiang Bai.
.......
1:30 PM, Kyoto Film Studio.
Even in the afternoon, the autumn sun was still quite dazzling.
Jiang Bai, holding up the hem of his coat, arrived at the filming location right on time.
"Little White's here! Quick, lights, fill light at position two!"
Upon seeing Jiang Bai, Yu Zheng immediately directed the people present to speed up the scene setup.
Jiang Bai nodded slightly, but before he could stand still, he caught a glimpse of a figure not far away being surrounded by three stylists who were fixing his armor.
"Who is this? Why does his back look so familiar..."
That instant.
Jiang Bai felt as if his heart had been violently squeezed by an invisible hand.
Boom!
The sound of his heart pounding violently against his chest made Jiang Bai's eardrums ache.
This is a burly man.
He was dressed in jet-black Han Dynasty iron armor and draped in a scarlet cloak.
With a ruthless and decisive air about him, he was bowing his head to accept the sword handed to him by the stagehand.
"This...this is the actor who plays Zhou Yafu?"
Jiang Bai was stunned.
An indescribable bittersweet feeling, mixed with extreme joy, overwhelmed Jiang Bai's will like a flood bursting its banks.
His breathing became rapid, and a blush quickly rose on his cheeks.
That was Zhang Yan's soul roaring and cheering!
In the cold and oppressive simulation, a reunion that had been awaited for thousands of years!
Today, I finally saw her general again!
[Ding! Friendly reminder: Host, please stay calm, your face is so red it's about to burn through your foundation.]
The way you look in your eyes right now... really makes you look like a kitten in heat.
"Go to hell with your spring fever!"
Jiang Bai roared with grief and indignation in his heart. An impulse to "grind ink for the general" and "mend the holes in his armor" was almost tearing his soul apart.
"I'm a man! I'm Jiang Bai!"
"My punches can smash through walls! How could I possibly blush and get flustered just looking at a scruffy, burly man?"
"System, how come the simulated emotional residue is so deep?! Ahhh!"
[Ding! He's actually quite handsome, it's okay to have a crush on him!]
Just as Jiang Bai was inwardly screaming in frustration, Yu Zheng walked over with the male actor, all smiles.
"Come on, let me introduce you."
"This is someone from our crew, He Shengming, who plays Zhou Yafu."
"Shengming, this is Empress Zhang Yan, Xiaobai, Jiang Baizhi, whom I've been telling you about for a long time."
