The film crew's location here is in the suburbs of Changsha, with mountains and water nearby, perfect for a stroll. The weather is also pleasant, around twenty degrees Celsius, ideal for exploring outdoors.
"Xun'er, how about we go on a picnic?" Lin Xiao said softly, holding Xun'er and kissing her on the cheek. He had no resistance when it came to his daughter.
"Okay! Picnic!"
Xun'er clapped her little hands gleefully, then pointed in a direction after a couple of claps, "Isn't that the old grandpa from TV? Papa, let's go, let's go!"
"Alright." Lin Xiao quickly took Xun'er over.
He was a veteran actor, a senior in the entertainment industry, with countless works. Most classic of all, many of his film and television clips had been turned into reaction memes. Even Lin Xiao, who had only recently returned to Changsha, had seen many of them.
"Hello, Grandpa!"
When they reached the veteran actor, Xun'er wriggled out of Lin Xiao's embrace and asked him to put her down. Once on the ground, she blinked her little eyes and politely greeted the old actor.
"Hello there."
The old gentleman quickly responded, "Hello... hello. May I ask for your names?"
"I am Lin Xiao, and this is my wife, Luo Qinghan." Lin Xiao introduced. "Mr. Wang, I've seen many of your works. The one that impresses me the most is 'Continue the music, continue the dance.' Your performance was absolutely brilliant!"
"Oh, you flatter me!" Mr. Wang waved his hand. "That was all in the past."
"Mr. Wang? Didn't you bring an assistant?" Lin Xiao looked around, as there seemed to be no one accompanying Mr. Wang as an assistant.
"Assistant? I do have an agent, but no assistant. I have hands and feet, why would I need an assistant? My agent can help me with small matters," Mr. Wang shook his head. "Besides, it's also about saving money."
A stark difference!
Lin Xiao was still marveling at this when Xun'er, in her childish voice, asked, "Grandpa, would you like to go on a picnic with us?"
"Me?"
Facing Xun'er's invitation, Mr. Wang looked at Lin Xiao and his wife questioningly.
"If you'd be willing to join us, Mr. Wang, that would be wonderful," Lin Xiao immediately said. Since Xun'er liked him so much, he couldn't refuse. He then looked at Director Chen, "Director Chen probably won't object."
"Of course not..." Director Chen quickly said, "Brother Wang, we won't be filming for now. You can have some free time and rest well."
"Alright." Mr. Wang seemed to take it in stride, shrugged, and said, "Then let's go. We can look around. I rarely come to Changsha anyway."
"Then, later, we can act as your guides and take you around Changsha for food and drinks. However, when it comes to sightseeing, we might not be able to help much. We ourselves rarely go out to see the sights," Lin Xiao said. "We're too busy with work and don't have the time."
"I understand, I understand... Mr. Lin, if there's an opportunity, please do be my tour guide. I don't have many hobbies, I just enjoy eating and drinking."
"Then, later, we can act as your guides and take you around Changsha for food and drinks. However, when it comes to sightseeing, we might not be able to help much. We ourselves rarely go out to see the sights," Lin Xiao said. "We're too busy with work and don't have the time."
