Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Shi Wei's impression of Shen Yao was very deep, because this was the only entertainment contact in her Moments (at this time the Male Lead had not yet appeared before the Female Lead).

She herself had already resigned and returned to her hometown Tao Yuan Village at the end of spring, originally thinking to relax her mood and wait until she recovered from this period before going to work, but unexpectedly, by a chance coincidence, after picking up a jade pendant at her old home she not only recovered her memories of her previous life first, but this jade pendant, after being refined and bound, actually contained a spiritual field space of extremely vast area inside.

Shi Wei's previous life was spent surviving in the Cultivation World; she was naturally cautious and careful, but ultimately still got caught up in a great power's dueling magic and unfortunately perished.

Now born in modern society and having obtained such an opportunity, she naturally would not go be an ox or horse anymore; she immediately filled the usable spiritual field space with all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and food seeds.

The post Shen Yao scrolled through was just one of the posts Shi Wei sent out daily, selling vegetables and fruits common in this season.

Since the distance between the two parties was not considered far, after Shi Wei packed them up, they were delivered to the hotel where Shen Yao was staying within just two days.

Shen Yao was busy sorting out the entire television drama's script with the screenwriter team from the beginning, busy every day to the point of not touching the ground; when she returned to the hotel and saw box after box of packed fruit, she was still a bit stunned.

The front desk's sweet voice reminded Shen Yao that these items before her eyes were her belongings, asking whether she needed help sending them to the guest room.

Shen Yao smiled and nodded, and also mentioned that she might borrow the hotel's kitchen a little later; of course, under normal circumstances the hotel's public kitchen definitely would not be lent out, but this hotel had long received all sorts of actors and stars, and inside it owned small kitchens that could be used separately, so Shen Yao's proposal passed smoothly in just a moment.

'Host, you want to cook?' The system was surprised, thinking to itself that the food here was not bad, at least most of the crew were quite satisfied.

'With so many vegetables and fruits, if you don't take them out openly to consume them, isn't that practically nailing yourself as having a ghost?' Even with a space, you can't use it like that—just one hotel has how many people? Who knows how many eyes are watching her.

However, the part taken out openly to consume would definitely only be a small portion; the remaining fruits could be shared with a few neighbors living nearby, and by the way help the Female Lead drum up some business, deepening the connection between the two.

That evening, Shen Yao simply made a bowl of light and refreshing vegetable noodles; they tasted good, especially the vegetables which were fresh, sweet, and had a good chew, and inside them carried a trace of vitality beneficial to the body; eating them often could not only strengthen the body but also beautify the complexion and replenish essence and qi.

Early the next morning, Jiang Han Zhou had just opened the door when he saw Shen Yao carrying a plastic bag, smiling like a flower.

Jiang Han Zhou:... Huh?

Shen Yao stuffed the plastic bag in her hand into Jiang Han Zhou's hands, indicating that the fruits inside were ones she bought back, the taste was not bad, and he could try them.

Jiang Han Zhou raised an eyebrow, "Author Shen, isn't this bribery?"

Shen Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment, "These fruits are not of high value; by bribery standards, they seem somewhat unworthy of Producer Jiang's status."

Jiang Han Zhou shook his head with a serious expression, "Bribery items do not depend on high or low value; however, Author Shen is naturally different from others. The fruits smell clean and sweet; a small gift in return—Author Shen need not decline."

Jiang Han Zhou was also generous, directly giving Shen Yao a box of especially expensive chocolate, an old foreign brand; eating it was not dry or astringent, and it melted in the mouth, a smooth enjoyment.

Shen Yao lowered her eyes to look at the chocolate in her hand, then turned around and returned to her room, continuing to send fruits to others such as the director, assistant director, screenwriter, and so on.

The core personnel of the entire crew, including the two male and female leads and several supporting actors, all received Shen Yao's fruit gift packages. Although the quantity of fruit sent out was not large, everyone who ate it gave a thumbs-up in praise, and even some greedy ones chased after Shen Yao asking for the link, planning to place orders and buy in large quantities.

Shi Wei:... Huh?

Looking at the friend request that had appeared on her phone, Shi Wei was somewhat at a loss as to what to do. She seemed to have done nothing, right? Even if it was promotion, it was only in Moments and within Tao Yuan County; other places were temporarily not under consideration (because she had to take into account the output of the spiritual field space). Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many orders attracted over.

Shen Yao's chat window popped up with a message: "Everyone in the crew thinks the taste is good and plans to order another batch to be mailed over here."

Shi Wei went 'oh' in her heart and her expression became clear; it turned out Shen Yao was helping. After thanking the other party, Shi Wei added this group of people's applications and handled the upcoming mailing issues one by one.

Why say otherwise? The people in the crew were Shi Wei's big clients. Unlike others who bought one or two jin, the crew started at double digits, and some could even reach over a hundred jin (this was Jiang Han Zhou slipping in private goods, seeking benefits for himself while also seeking benefits for his relatives and friends at home).

The remaining bit of inventory Shi Wei had left was directly bought up more than half by the crew; the only remaining tail didn't need Shi Wei to worry about, as old customers would come over to purchase it themselves.

Thus, Shi Wei's farming business that she operated officially took a big step forward.

…………

"Author Shen, good morning"

"Good morning"

"Author Shen, good morning"

"Good morning"

"......"

Another workday; Shen Yao held a cup of coffee and quickly came to the crew.

Tian Yu not far away had also stayed up all night, and was talking with the assistant director. The upcoming scenes were relatively fragmented and simple parts; he needed to return to the hotel to catch up on sleep, and the crew's filming here would be supervised by the assistant director.

"Do you understand?" Tian Yu's dark circles under his eyes were excessively heavy. If not for his good foundation, looking still fairly healthy, he might have been directly sent to the hospital to recuperate his body.

Assistant Director Kang Nian nodded, "Rest assured, I will personally watch over these few people at that time, absolutely not giving them a chance to act randomly."

The two were talking about the veteran actors in the crew, people who had acted for decades, each with their own unique set of views. Usually they loved to open their mouths to give pointers to newcomers. After all, newcomers had just entered the industry not long ago, their skin was tender and they were too embarrassed to refuse or retort. Besides, they had no backing behind them; even if bullied, they could only swallow their broken teeth.

The veteran actors finally seized this opportunity. Whenever they had free time, they would give long lectures in the crew (just a few extremely special ones, not representing that most were like this). After a long time, it would definitely cause a chorus of complaints.

Well, Tian Yu couldn't stand them idling around and stirring up trouble. When he was there, he personally supervised; when he wasn't there, he had Kang Nian be responsible.

The television drama "Palace Intrigue" had already been filmed halfway. In two more months it could wrap up successfully. They couldn't cause trouble at this time.

"You handle things, I'm assured," Tian Yu said, hearing this, and with a face full of satisfaction patted Kang Nian's shoulder. "Old Kang, we've cooperated for many years. For this drama, I place great hopes!"

The implication was that nothing could go wrong, otherwise the many years of reputation they had accumulated would be lost.

Kang Nian naturally understood the importance of this drama. The entire crew was wound up like a spring. Except for those few abnormal veteran actors, who was idling around with nothing to do?

Good brothers, for a lifetime!

The two good brothers who had been partners for nearly twenty years were moved to tears, all wanting to use this as a starting point to achieve something and create new glory.

The stumbling blocks appearing during this period were their common enemies.

Shen Yao smiled from afar and greeted Tian Yu and Kang Nian. Beside her, Screenwriter Zhao felt dizzy. He had filmed a big night scene last night and still had to revise the script at any time. His age was no longer young, and he couldn't stand being tossed back and forth like this.

"Screenwriter Zhao, you should also return to the hotel to rest," Shen Yao said, looking at Screenwriter Zhao's appearance. She thought to herself that if he fainted, it would be another accident. The crew had finally gotten things somewhat straightened out; they couldn't stumble in this aspect.

Screenwriter Zhao also wanted to return to the hotel. Taking the donkey down the slope, he said he would leave in a while. He still had some words to instruct a few junior screenwriters, and by the way, he also hoped Shen Yao could help keep an eye on things, especially regarding script revisions. Shen Yao's words were more effective than those of several junior screenwriters.

Shen Yao:...

Fine. Anyway, she didn't have anything to do today when she came over. It was a good time to see the operating situation of the entire crew. Besides, today's filming wasn't very important. It involved the Female Lead and a few passerby actors playing her family members. The total appearance time was less than half an episode. Even if unqualified, it could still be deleted and adjusted.

"Alright, all departments prepare, start filming!"

"Action!"

Inside the camera, the heroine was pleading with her biological father about her imminent entry into the Imperial Palace, moving him with emotion and convincing him with reason, emphasizing that she did this for the Clan, and the Clan must give its support.

The actor playing the heroine's father was also a veteran actor; this man didn't cause trouble, didn't hang out with the few others who ran amok in the production team, but just honestly performed his own scenes in the plot. However, he had one shortcoming: no obvious emotional ups and downs, making it easy for TV viewers to not get the point, commonly known as failing to arouse the audience's interest.

Assistant Director Kang Nian shouted "Cut," then called the two over to discuss the acting in public.

After such repeated adjustments, this scene finally passed; next was the screen time for the passerby actors, after all, the content being filmed was a family banquet.

The heroine was still the one being made things difficult for, the reason being there were wolves ahead and tigers behind; Qin Zi had married several wives, and her status here was truly awkward.

However, the heroine always had self-regulation ability, completely not understanding the yin and yang of these half-sisters, doing her own thing on her own, until the family banquet began.

What needed to be shown here was the heroine's attitude of remaining calm in handling matters and other people's petty behavior; palace intrigue, of course, mixed with family strife was indispensable.

It was just that the heroine acted like cotton; whoever hit her would find her soft and unresponsive, only making those who struck out more and more annoyed.

"Hmph! In front of Mother, Elder Sister is really too disrespectful to us sisters."

As soon as the cannon fodder sister spoke, one could tell the inside was full of thunder points.

"Younger Sister is thinking too much; I'm just pondering things," the heroine showed a perfectly timed smile, stood up to say goodbye to the Original Body's stepmother, giving the reason that Father had already spoken beforehand, and she should go over to pay her respects.

Wedding Guests:...

"Cut"

Kang Nian shouted again, then told the passerby actors to act with more force, to let the audience see the jealousy and unwillingness on their faces; after all, they were all daughters of Father, so why could the heroine enter the Imperial Palace to become an Imperial Consort, while they had to be married off to ordinary people's homes to be Zhu Guo?

Compared to the magnificent and wealthy Imperial Palace, they were simply envious to death!

Outsiders thought filming was interesting, but actually not; filming was tedious and boring, many scenes were shot over and over again until the most suitable one was selected to pass.

Shen Yao stayed in the production team for a day; when she returned to the Hotel, her legs and feet were a bit tired, so she simply drew water for a Hot Water Bath. She wore a comfortable long robe and sat at the workbench not far from the bed, busy with the article that needed updating today.

Below the updated article were fans' coquettish cuteness and verbal concern; Shen Yao picked a few to reply to, then closed her Laptop and stood up to move around.

Boom boom boom—boom boom boom——

The Room door was knocked on; Shen Yao raised her head and glanced, thinking who would choose this time to come find her.

Jiang Han Zhou:...?

Jiang Han Zhou saw Shen Yao in a sleeping robe and felt a bit embarrassed, but he still spoke with a firm tone to state his purpose.

Shen Yao:... Novel development?

Her new novel? It's still being updated now; isn't it a bit early?

Jiang Han Zhou said it wasn't early at all; these days he had stayed up late to catch up with Shen Yao's new novel, saying the content was novel in conception and had a sense of immersion, very suitable to be made into that kind of interactive game and anime; as for the most common TV Drama adaptation, it could be put in the back to be developed slowly.

In the middle of the night, a single man and woman sharing a room would lead to gossip (they weren't afraid of being talked about but afraid of trouble); they just simply stood at the Doorway and chatted for a while, then would formally discuss this matter the next day.

Hongshi Network naturally couldn't be bypassed, but there Jiang Han Zhou was responsible for communication; Shen Yao only needed to set her desired price, and everything else was no problem.

Desired price? Jiang Han Zhou was so generous? Although this person couldn't be called a miser in the circle, not everyone could take advantage of him.

Jiang Han Zhou smiled and said Shen Yao was especially different; she was a quite talented Wang Luo writer. Although if one wanted to buy the novel, one just needed to have a good relationship with the Platform, but one couldn't be sure the author wouldn't switch Platforms, or the author would become stronger and need the Platform's support; investing in advance was not a problem, cast a wide net to gather more fish.

Shen Yao didn't feel that after such a short few times of companionship, the other party would develop strange feelings; most likely he had taken a fancy to her author identity. Better to settle grievances than to tie them up; who made their two interests temporarily consistent?

After a very pleasant exchange, Shen Yao, when leaving, didn't forget to order a batch of Fruit from Shi Wei to bring back. The Gong Mo Production Team was the heroine's big client; Shi Wei's farming business could develop entirely thanks to the great help of the production team's big households.

Without Shen Yao specially instructing, the Fruit Shi Wei mailed over had extra new varieties; according to her meaning, these were free information; if she liked them, she could place another order to purchase.

Shen Yao:... Oh, so they were sample displays!

Shen Yao didn't just attend to eating herself; the people in the production team more or less all received Shen Yao's feeding. Some fruits perfectly hit certain people's preferences, and also made Shi Wei's sales soar again.

Shi Wei:... As expected, a Golden Thigh; making money in the Entertainment Industry is well deserved!
