Wang Yi followed his gaze and looked up. The wooden plaque above his head was illuminated by a circle of lights. Wang Yi read out the four characters "Shuibei Ancient Town".
As the name suggests, it can be understood as the unique urban style of each city, even a small town. It has witnessed the rise and fall of a place, and at the same time, it has sealed all the memories in the development process.
Her grandmother is a professor in the history department. When she was a child, she showed more interest in her grandmother's history than her grandfather's study of Chinese geography. Her grandmother would take her with her when she took students out for inspections every year.
Under the influence, she has a great interest in history and cultural heritage.
If she hadn't entered this industry of actors, she might have inherited her grandmother's mantle and entered the long river of history.
This is an ancient city, perhaps because the economy has not kept up with the development of the times. The city has not yet been commercialized, and it still retains its historical features to the greatest extent.
She had made a guide before coming here and hoped to take time to come here after work.
"How did you know I wanted to come here?" Wang Yiyi was very surprised.
"I don't know. I guessed it." Zhou Ze pulled up her mask, covering most of her face, "Let's go, there are not many people around now."
Even though he said this, he did not continue to move forward and spread his palm downwards. As soon as Wang Yi was in a good mood, he granted his small wish and then stretched out his other hand to hug his arm, "
Let’s go.”
Zhou Ze couldn't suppress the joy on his face. If he hadn't been wearing a mask, you would have seen that the corners of his mouth were so happy that it was hard to close them up.
Wang Yiyi was very self-aware and informed in advance: "If I want to buy a lot of snacks later, remember to stop me."
Zhou Ze looked at the dazzling array of small shops. Although he was skeptical, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."
In fact, he was already prepared, and in the end, amidst Wang Yiyi's scolding, he put all the leftover food in his stomach after buying too much from her.
After all, if she really wanted to do something, ten cows wouldn't be able to pull her back.
"Actually, I came here once with my grandmother when I was very young. Before I saw the sign outside, I didn't expect it to be here at all. When I walked in, it didn't seem to have changed." Wang Yi looked around excitedly, revisiting his old place.
, everything here is familiar yet strange to her, "Hey, look at that store, I was there when I came here. I don't know if it's still the previous boss."
"Go and have a look?"
When she came out again, Wang Yiyi specifically asked to go back to the entrance in a large circle. She wanted to leave a tacky photo of tourists here to compare it with when she was here when she was a child: "Last time
Come on, I took the photo right here at the door."
"Are the photos still there?" Zhou Ze took over this great task and clicked several times to find one that he could see.
"That must be at home. Grandpa has kept it well. I will send it to him later for him to see." Wang Yi looked through the photos on his phone. They were not as good as hers, but they were still satisfactory. He nodded and acknowledged him.
"Would you like to take a picture? My photography skills are almost professional."
It is better to obey orders than to be respectful, "Okay."
Anyway, when there was no one around, they stayed at the same spot for a long time as to who had better photography skills. Finally, they continued to walk back to the hotel with equally satisfied results.
In fact, he was not very satisfied. As soon as Wang Yi touched his slightly bulging belly, he couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "I told you to stop me. I will definitely get edema when I get up tomorrow. What should I do if I go to the camera?"
Zhou Ze felt bitter, obviously it was me who said that the two of us couldn't finish the meal. Wang Yi rushed out to order. He swallowed the words back in his stomach, "It doesn't matter, I eat more."
Wang Yiyi felt indignant and rolled her eyes at him: "You said it doesn't matter if you eat too much."
Zhou Ze put his big hand on the back of her head and rubbed it up and down. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Go back and go to bed early. If it's still swollen, I'll buy you an ice cream tomorrow morning and use ice cubes to reduce the swelling."
"Okay then." She was the one who couldn't control her mouth first. Now that the matter was over, Wang Yi curled her lips and said, "Oh, I hope it won't be too swollen."
Wang Yiyi was very affected, but she was not photogenic, especially since she ate something the night before, which would probably cause severe swelling the next day.
She has deeply foreseen that when the show is broadcast, the audience will hold a magnifying glass to observe her words and deeds frame by frame. A little earlier, during the filming tomorrow, the photos of the chance encounter will be circulated.
It is bound to cause a huge sensation, so she must stay in good condition and look good on camera.
"No." Zhou Ze looked around, pulled Wang Yiyi behind him, and crossed the zebra crossing, "I want to ask you something."
"you say?"
"Zhong Lu, Director Zhong, he handed me the notebook."
"I know, Sister Chun just told me." Wang Yi couldn't discern the emotion in his tone, so she looked up at his expression, "I told her that we have no intersection at work."
What she meant by this was that there was no need to accept it because of her friendship with Zhong Lu and Fu Yuchun. He accepted it out of favor or to avoid suspicion, so no matter what he decided, it had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, Zhou Ze cherishes his feathers, so he may not take a job that is not suitable for him because of her.
"That's not what I meant." It's true that Zhou Ze cherishes his feathers, but whether Wang Yiyi believes it or not, he can make some concessions, "I know the relationship between you, Zhong Lu and Fu Yuchun
, actually it’s okay.”
This is not the first time Jonglu has invited Zhou Ze to cooperate. The last time was seven or eight years ago.
At that time, Zhou Ze had just started to show his talents. Due to schedule and various other reasons, Jonglu's project died in its infancy. Zhou Ze had a better script waiting for him, so the cooperation was dropped.
After that, Zhong Lu never looked for Zhou Ze again. The two of them met on various occasions and could chat for a few words.
It happened that when Wang Yiyi returned to China, Zhou Ze heard that Wang Yiyi was looking for suitable scripts all over the world, and at the same time he heard that the new generation director Zhong Lu had a film of good quality, but he couldn't find a suitable actress.
As the protagonist, he found someone to casually mention the existence of Wang Yiyi in front of Zhong Lu.
As the saying goes, an unintentional influence can make a difference, Zhou Ze and he have known each other for so many years and they are just casual acquaintances, but within a few months of filming, Wang Yiyi became friends with their family.
Over the years, Zhou Ze has not deliberately sought confirmation. Wang Yiyi still does not know that such a thing happened. She regards Zhong Lu as someone who has shown her kindness.
No one can tell whether the director chose her because of Zhou Ze's relationship, or whether he really thought Wang Yiyi was suitable for the role, or whether it was a split between them.
