Chapter 736: Adding Scenes Last Minute
When he saw his cousin working on projects, she would always approve them and give them money. It was as if she did not lack money at all. She always spent the most money for the best things.
“We can save so here, too.”
Yao Jiahong took notes as Shi Jin spoke.
“I’ll take these savings and polish the costus and props. The clothes are a little rough now, and the props aren’t exquisite enough. We can’t be cheap on the costus. We also can’t be cheap on the scriptwriters, the original scriptwriter and the scriptwriter following the production team are already different. We have to find a screenwriter who can really understand the aning of the script. I have to keep a close eye on the director too. The story has to be logical, and the graphics have to be exquisite. I don’t want a bunch of empty things, and I don’t want anyone bringing money into the production team to stuff actors who don’t fit the role. I definitely don’t want flying pages everywhere.”
“What’s a flying page?” Yue Lanchen finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Asking the screenwriter to add scenes. Most of them are added at the last minute so a particular actor can get more screen ti,” Yao Jiahong explained.
“Oh, oh.” Yue Lanchen seriously sized up Shi Jin. Seeing that her face had beco distant and indifferent once she got down to business, he changed his opinion of her.
So this was what it was like to work on a project seriously. She had to save what she needed to save, but she would never be stingy on what she needed to spend.
He recalled the few dramas that Ti TV had been successful in. They all seed to be Shi Jin’s work, right?
After Yao Jiahong finished speaking, he saw that Yue Lanchen was still looking straight at Shi Jin. When he passed by him, he couldn’t help but remind him kindly, “Young Master Yue, watch your eyes. You aren’t afraid of , but aren’t you afraid of Master Fu?”
“Tch.” Yue Lanchen made a bored sound. He wasn’t afraid of Fu Xiuyuan.
However, Fu Xiuyuan’s well-defined face and cold eyes suddenly appeared in his mind. He still shivered.
No, why was he shivering? He wasn’t staring at Shi Jin because he liked her. He was just curious and probing.
“Give the test papers.” Shi Jin seed to be tireless. After discussing with Yao Jiahong, she now turned her attention to Yue Lanchen.
“Here.”
Shi Jin took the stack of papers and said calmly after reading them, “It’s alright. Keep it up.”
Yue Lanchen blurted out, “Let treat you to lunch. You’ve already helped look over so many test papers.”
“I’m not going out at noon.”
“What? You don’t have to go out. Just wait. I’ll be back soon.”
Worried, Shi Jin asked an assistant to keep an eye on him.
When the assistant returned, he said, “Shi Jin, Yue Lanchen is cooking by himself. He’s using the small kitchen.”
The production team usually ordered bulk packed lunches, but they also kept a small kitchen for the main actors to use. In order to maintain their figures, many main actors had special assistants to follow them to make special diet als.
“He cooks? Watch over him. Don’t let him blow up the kitchen.” Shi Jin had experienced it herself. Although it wasn’t enough to blow up the kitchen, she knew in her heart that everyone only ate her food out of consideration for her feelings.
She was a little hesitant. Should she eat the food that Yue Lanchen made later?
If she didn’t eat it, it would dampen his enthusiasm. If she ate it… she would be letting her stomach down.
She was indecisive all the way until lunchti.
Soon, Yue Lanchen brought over a few dishes and soup.
Coincidentally, Xiao Ming ca over to look for Shi Jin to talk about the scene just now. Shi Jin called out to him, “Xiao Ming, you ca at the right ti. Yue Lanchen has cooked. Stay and eat with us.”
“There’s such a good thing?” Xiao Ming sat down and picked up his chopsticks.
Yue Lanchen sat down as well and said, “Should we call Jian Liang?”
“There’s no need to call her. She’s gained two pounds for so reason these past few days. She’s already prepared chicken breast and broccoli for lunch. I don’t think she’ll co over if we call her.” Xiao Ming knew Jian Liang very well.
Yue Lanchen did not insist. He sat down and began to scoop rice, handing a bowl to Shi Jin.
Shi Jin thought that the dishes were not bad. The prawns were stir-fried beautifully, the tomatoes and eggs looked good, and there was even a sweet and sour pork.
This dish could be considered an advanced recipe.
Xiao Ming was a male artiste and was not as particular as female artistes. He imdiately started eating the sweet and sour pork ribs.
“Mmm, yummy!” His eyes sparkled as he ate. He scooped up more tomato and eggs and mixed it with the rice to eat.
A rare sincere smile appeared on Yue Lanchen’s face. “I might not be good at other things, but I’m very good at cooking.”
Shi Jin found it strange. He was a young master, a famous young master in the capital, but he could actually cook?
Wasn’t the skill points that the entire family had given him a little too strange?
She picked at the food skeptically, took a bite, and frowned. “You really didn’t order takeout?”
“What! Go and see. Go and see the bin in the kitchenette now! See if there’s prawn shells, if there’s tomato stalks, if there’s egg shells!”
Yue Lanchen was anxious. He grabbed Shi Jin’s hand and was about to walk out.
“I believe you, I believe you!” If Shi Jin said that she didn’t believe him, he might really bring her to the kitchen to take a look.
Only then did Yue Lanchen let go. “Why are you so ungrateful?”
Shi Jin’s eyes narrowed as she ate. This taste was indeed good. It was much better than the lunch boxes they ate every day.
She just found that odd. “How did you learn to cook?”
Shouldn’t he have nannies and professional chefs?
“In our family, my father and grandfather have always been good at cooking. My talent is innate. What’s so strange about that? On the other hand, my grandmother, my mother, and my sister don’t even cook well. Each of them can blow up the kitchen. You’re lucky today that I’m in a good mood and willing to cook. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have this good fortune.”
Actually, he did not say that last night, he went out to et a friend for his birthday and secretly bought these ingredients to cook for Shi Jin.
There was no need to say that.
“Then Shi Jin should be able to belong to your family.” Xiao Ming thought of Shi Jin’s at skewers and was speechless.
After saying that, he imdiately realized that this was not polite. He imdiately smiled at Shi Jin. “I didn’t an it like that.”
“I know what you an,” Shi Jin said. “Let’s eat.”
Yue Lanchen secretly watched Shi Jin eat. Although her actions were elegant and graceful, she did not reject his cooking. Instead, she enjoyed it very much. Only then did he feel a sense of accomplishnt.
The change in Yue Lanchen was visible to the naked eye.
Shi Jin only reported so details to Old Madam Bai, but she was already very surprised.
Old Madam Bai secretly contacted Yue Lanchen. “My dear grandson, I’ve given you so pocket money. When you’re on set, you have to learn to be more generous. Buy so food and drinks for everyone. Make more friends and learn more.”
