The splendor of the Film Studio in B City has led to the development of the entire city. Catering, accommodation, entertainment and tourism are readily available. But because of the proliferation of ma.s.s actors, it has also become “the paradise for lazy people, the paradise for lunatics and the world for bachelors”.
In fact, everyone is well aware of how difficult it is to become famous; understands that the distance to fame is more than just a hundred thousand miles. But still, everyone is willing to indulge in a lazy life one one side, while earning 10,000 yuan per hour as ma.s.s actors; to live like the legends that live forever in the mouths of others, but have never really made it in person. The combination of “Studio + ma.s.s actors”, which has been taken countless times by dreamers confidently, has also thrown these aspiring people off their horses time and again.
A lot of people have forgotten that ma.s.s acting is just a job, not a dream.
Ji Xiaonan and Wei Bao rushed through group after group of ma.s.s actors before finding Geng b.u.mei, who was buried in another crowd. Once the three met, they quickly found a restaurant for the long awaited chat.
Geng b.u.mei was in charge of ordering the food, while Ji Xiaonan took the role of telling Wei Bao about the so-called “big thing”.
Nanma meatloaf, Dongyang chicken ca.s.serole, pork with dried prunes, braised meat with dried prunes, Shanglu wonton, wonton soup, shredded turnip cake, zezi tofu and a dozen of cold beer.
The waiter finished serving the food, and telling of the “big thing” was also over.
Wei Bao"s mind was struggling to digest, and the chopsticks he held in his hand had forgotten to clip a dish.
Geng b.u.mei on the other hand had been busy all day and was hungry for so long, so his hands never stopped pinching food.
Ji Xiaonan picked up a beer bottle and served it to Wei Bao, “What are you waiting for, eat your food!”
Wei Bao bubbled up thoughtlessly, “What if the girl is already married?”
Hearing this, Ji Xiaonan paused from drinking his beer, and Geng b.u.mei"s chopsticks that were pinching the vegetables froze in the air.
The three looked at each other…..
c.r.a.p!
How could they have missed that detail!
Geng b.u.mei inserted, “No way, that girl looks very young, like a college student.”
Ji Xiaonan returned, “No, Kang Xi said she"s twenty-six!"
Twenty-six is actually not very old, but it is the age of late marriage.
Wei Bao added, “Maybe, she even has children.”
Twenty-six is the best age for women to give birth.
The three fell into silence again.
After a long silence, Geng b.u.mei said while munching on a meatloaf, "If that girl"s really married, what…. What do you think will happen?"
It was fine when it was just a thought, but as soon as it was out in the open, a heavy cloud rose over the three heads.
His Majesty in their house has finally found the one, but she turned out to be someone else"s. In line with his temper, the one who will suffer would never be the girl, but certainly the three of them.
With this in mind, both Geng b.u.mei and Wei Bao rested their hands on Ji Xiaonan"s shoulders, both with very serious expressions.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Wei Bao advised, “Lao Ji, if you really find out that the girl is married, don"t tell Kang Xi first, hurry up and pack your baggage and escape as far as you can!”
Geng b.u.mei nodded heavily, “That"s right!”
“Get lost!” Ji Xiaonan waved away the two men"s hands, “Why should I have to go far away?”
Wei Bao suddenly frowned, “No, going far can"t solve the problem, as long as you"re on Earth, Kang Xi will surely find you.”
Geng b.u.mei deeply felt the same, “Right! To leave Earth, Lao Ji, when the time comes, Xiao Bao and I will prepare a sum of money for you. Hurry and hire a rocket, then fly over the tundra and escape into outer s.p.a.ce.”
Their constant reminders scared Ji Xiaonan"s b.u.t.t, "The both of you, don"t scare me!"
