[Your ‘sweet Yun Liu constantly kept her eyes on the cameras. She always manages to precisely present her most beautiful side before the cameras, whereas Yan Tang and Shi Xiu behave more realistically. They talk and walk normally without any affectations at all.]

[Of course! They have confidence in themselves!]

[Hah, you say that’s confidence? They probably don’t know how to look good

before the cameras, so they didn’t bother! They’re just a has-been singer and a starlet who bought her way to fame!]

[Who are you calling a has-been? I told you; Yan Tang’s fans may be old, but they’re not dead!]

More and more bullet comments appeared on screen, and they grew more and more intense. The production team quickly switched the camera to the group who were cooking the food.

This group of young and middle-aged members was much more sedate. They harmoniously worked together and divided the work between them; some of them washed and sorted out the vegetables, while others chopped and prepared the ingredients, and the chefs were busy stir-frying things.

There was a faint smile on Ji Fei’s austere face as he worked; he was obviously in a good mood. Xiao Zhao chuckled, “Mr. Ji, go ahead and smile openly. We know you’re happy. You don’t have to hide it.”

Hai Hua teased, “You guys might not know this, but Mr. Ji had a passion for talent when he was young. If his students had good aptitude, he would pave the way for them at all costs and would see to their success. His students are lucky to have met him. ”

She suddenly sighed. “However, it’s hard to fathom a person’s mind. Some students would always remember his kindness, whereas others… Hmph! Some people forget their roots once they become successful!”

Ji Fei’s expression darkened, but he didn’t say anything. Mai Fen laughed and said, “I’m sure little Shi Xiu won’t be like them. I can tell that she’s a simple-hearted child.”

Ji Fei quickly nodded. Hai Hua smiled and added, “She definitely can’t go wrong with all of us watching her! Your little disciple will surely be filial in the future. Mr. Ji, you can’t forget us even if you’ve received filial piety from that little disciple of yours!”

Everyone laughed. Si Kun sighed. “I think that girl can also make some achievements in acting. I regret not keeping an eye on her, and she went and acknowledged Old Man Ji as her master. Old Man Ji, I never expected I would actually fight you for a disciple, seeing as our professions are worlds apart.. * sigh!

A smile appeared on Ji Fei’s face. He wasn’t good with words but was evidently laughing up his sleeves. To Si Kun, it was more of an insult than injury.

Thus, Si Kun snarled, “That does it! I have to pull this girl over to my side. I’ll introduce her to a few famous directors and let her act in a few more movies.

Hehe, Old Man Ji, let’s see who’ll win in the end!”

Xiao Zhao received the production team’s instructions through his in-ear monitors and smiled, saying, “Hey, don’t just fight over Shi Xiu. Mr. Si, why don’t you teach Yun Liu? I think that girl isn’t bad either!”

Si Kun was deveining prawns and accidentally used a little too much force when he heard this and broke the prawn’s ‘vein,’ “Tsk!” he grumbled.

Xiao Zhao continued, “Although Yun Liu hasn’t acted in famous dramas or films, she’s still quite popular currently. She probably just lacks opportunities.” And with that, Xiao Zhao rapped the plate that was before Si Kun with the spatula in his hand.

Si Kun looked up at Xiao Zhao and knew he couldn’t avoid the subject anymore, so he slowly uttered, “If the kids are willing to learn, we are naturally willing to teach them. However, in this industry, sometimes what’s important is talent and hard work.”

Mai Fen quickly washed the vegetables and drained the water before adding, “That’s right! In our eyes, every role is the same; whether it’s the main character or the supporting role, we act out the roles wholeheartedly. Some kids are quite intelligent and know how to act with just a little prompting, whereas some kids have questionable intentions and always try to advertise themselves, so they often can’t act well.”

Hai Hua chuckled, “Isn’t that commonly known as ‘putting on a facade’?”

Mai Fen nodded. “Kind of, but not exactly. Anyway, some things just can’t be taught. Take Shi Xiu, for example—she has never studied acting before. She only relied on her understanding of the script and the guidance of the directors and screenwriters. But she performed wonderfully. You can’t say her role was close to her real-life experience because it certainly wasn’t. Her movie character and real-life identity are miles apart, but the audience who watched the movie didn’t feel her performance was out of place. That is talent.”

Xiao Zhao scratched his head and glanced towards the production team. ‘I tried my best,’ he thought. ‘ICs not my fault they didn’t take the cue. What else could I do? Why don’t you guys inform everyone—that way we’ll all fully cooperate with you.’

The production team definitely wouldn’t do that because they had to make the show as realistic as possible..
