MTL - Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show-Chapter 52 'Livelihood' issues

On the West Street of the film and television city, there are densely packed houses next to each other. These houses are built by local people here, and they are specially rented out to the actors who stay here all the year round in the film and television city without a fixed crew.

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo quickly found the gate of No. 23 West Street, Film and Television City written on the note given by the program team.

This is a 4-story self-built house. The house occupies a small area, and it is closely adjacent to other houses on the left and right sides. The upstairs is a place to live, and the downstairs is a restaurant. The sign on the door says The words 'Heping House Small Restaurant' are written, and there is a row of small characters under these words, which say, 'Please come in for meals and accommodation, order hotline...'

Perhaps it was because Lin Cheng and Lin Momo arrived too late, the small restaurant on the first floor was closed at this time.

Lin Momo ran forward, leaned on the shutter door of the small restaurant and listened for a while, and then knocked on the door when she heard a sound inside.

—

In the small restaurant.

Because there is no business in the past few nights, the boss and the landlord here closed early. At this time, he was swiping his mobile phone in the store when he heard a rustling knock on the door outside, and the landlord frowned.

"Who? It's so late at night..." the landlord muttered, got up impatiently, and opened the rolling door at the door a little.

When he saw a cute little girl of a few years old standing at the door, the displeasure on the landlord's face was put away, and his expression became much gentler.

"Kid, what's the matter?"

"Hello," Lin Momo said hello to the other party very politely, and then explained the purpose of coming: "We are here to check in."

As Lin Momo spoke, she handed the receipt in her hand to the landlord: "This is it."

The landlord took a look at the receipt from Lin Momo, looked at Lin Momo, and then at Lin Cheng who was beside Lin Momo. Obviously, he already knew the identities of the father and daughter.

—The landlord usually doesn’t watch variety shows, but last week people from the show “Living with Dad” came to her store to rent a room upstairs, and installed equipment in it, and told her that this week There is a pair of celebrity father and daughter staying.

Although the landlord doesn't know the so-called star in front of him, but looking at these two people and the actors following behind him, they should be the right ones.

The landlord nodded, lifted the shutter door up again, and said to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, "Come in."

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo followed the landlord into the small restaurant, and came to a small room next to the cash register of the small restaurant.

"Give me your ID card." The boss asked Lin Cheng for his ID card to register, and then found a set of keys from the cabinet and handed it to Lin Cheng.

"The big one is the key to gate 307, and the small one is the key to your room."

"Come with me."

The landlord walked in front and led Lin Cheng and Lin Momo through the dining area of ​​the small restaurant to the back of the house.

There is a small staircase to go upstairs.

The three of them came to Room 307 on the third floor.

Pushing open the door, one can see a not-so-big living room with simple furnishings. Due to the relatively long lease time, these furnishings look a bit old, but overall they are clean.

There is also a small narrow balcony in front of the living room, which is full of clothes to dry at this time.

On both sides of the living room are six separated rooms, with room numbers posted on the door.

Lin Momo looked around, and their room was in the middle on the right.

Although he knew that the father and daughter came here to record a program, the landlord still habitually explained the precautions here to the two of them after introducing the situation of the room.

"I also opened the small restaurant downstairs. I don't do late-night snack business. It usually closes at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. When it is not closed, you can come in from the small restaurant. If it closes too late, you have to go from side to side. The alleyway on the right side of the building is going around here." Standing on the balcony, the landlord pointed to the direction of the two buildings next to him and said to Lin Cheng and the others.

"You can use some electrical appliances in the public area, but you can't use high-power electrical appliances in the room. If you want to cook for yourself, you can do it outside. Don't do it in the room."

"The furniture outside and these cabinets, if available, you can use as you like, but don't lock them."

"in addition…"

As the landlord said, he wanted to remind again, 'The bedrooms here are all separated by wood and plaster boards, and the sound insulation effect is not good. Parents, watch out for the children, and don't make noise and disturb other tenants', but he looked down at Standing next to Lin Cheng, the quiet and well-behaved Lin Momo, the landlord put away this reminder.

"Clean up yourselves, and find me downstairs if you have any questions."

"Okay, thank you."

…

After the landlord left, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were left standing in the house.

Lin Cheng put down his luggage and opened the door of Room 4, while Lin Momo poked his head in curiously.

The room is small, with white walls, and the furnishings inside are simple: two small beds side by side, a simple detachable fabric wardrobe, a small table just stuck between the small bed and the wardrobe, and some former tenants Storage boxes left behind.

Looking at the room, Lin Momo nodded solemnly, showing a satisfied expression.

"It's pretty good." Lin Momo whispered to herself.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly: "..."

Even the bullet screen in the live broadcast room is full of question marks and dotted at this time.

[Is this room okay? Looking at Xiao Momo's appearance, she seemed really satisfied. 】

[Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't see what's good about this room. 】

【Especially compared to other groups...】

In this issue, the actor Gao Yuankai got a job as the owner of a piano store and his residence is a flat floor in the city center; Bai Yulin got a voice actor, although he doesn’t live in the city center, but at least it’s a 120-square-meter commercial house; Duan Bei got a The first one is an intern reporter from a TV station, and they live in a staff hotel arranged by the TV station, and the conditions are not bad.

In the end, Zheng Chengye's family, let alone lived in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

In contrast, the living conditions of Lin Cheng's group do seem too 'down-to-earth'.

[This condition is slightly better than the place where Papa Lin and Momo lived in the previous few periods. 】

【Probably only Momo would think that such a condition is good...】

…

At this time, Lin Cheng thought the same way: probably only his daughter would be 'good' for such a condition.

Looking down at Lin Momo's satisfied face, Lin Cheng rubbed the top of Lin Momo's head with some distress and helplessness.

"go in."

The two entered the room.

Although the room is small, it is generally clean and there are not many things.

Compared with the places where I lived several times before, the only advantage of this place is probably that they don't need to clean it up.

Lin Cheng sorted out some cabinets and storage boxes in the house, kept the usable ones, and piled up the useless ones in a corner of the room, leaving a space for suitcases and passing people.

Afterwards, Lin Cheng cleaned the room briefly, and then checked the room carefully to make sure that the doors, windows and electrical sockets were safe, and that Lin Momo would not bump into anything in the room.

Lin Momo was packing her luggage.

Lin Momo spread out the sheets and quilts she brought, and took out the clothes and other daily necessities from her suitcase, and sorted them away.

After that, Lin Momo's eyes fell on Lin Cheng's box next to him.

"Dad." Lin Momo called out.

Lin Cheng, who was checking the room, heard Lin Momo calling him, so he stopped and answered, "What?"

"I can pack your luggage for you," Lin Momo said.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng originally wanted to say no, but when he thought that his daughter would help him clean up, Lin Cheng suddenly felt a little hopeful.

Finally, Lin Cheng nodded and said, "OK."

"Be careful when moving the suitcase." Lin Cheng warned.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Lin Momo opened Lin Cheng's suitcase and began to pack Lin Cheng's clothes and luggage.

Although they only lived here for a week, Lin Momo still carefully sorted the jackets, trousers, coats, socks and other small items, and then hung them neatly in the simple in the closet.

Then put other daily necessities neatly on the small table.

In the live broadcast room, looking at the father and daughter who were carefully cleaning up, many viewers expressed emotion:

[Every time I see Momo cleaning up the house, I have the illusion that she wants to live here forever. 】

【Haha, I feel the same way. 】

【Father, too, looks more and more alive. 】

This point is indeed very different from the painting styles of the other groups.

[I learned to clean up and fold clothes in parent-child variety shows...]

[I thought I was watching a life documentary, hahaha, I almost forgot that this is a parent-child variety show. 】

【Obviously so ordinary, yet so superior. 】

…

Seeing this comment on the bullet screen, Zhou Qi and Wang Xi, who were sitting in front of the computer at this time, also nodded in agreement.

Obviously their job is to keep an eye on the live broadcast room. If something unexpected happens, they can contact the company, contact the program team, or suppress the comments. As a result, both of them have become loyal viewers of the live broadcast room without knowing it.

"I seem to know why those passers-by viewers like squatting in Brother Cheng's live broadcast room." Zhou Qi murmured.

Wang Xi, who was eating supper at the side, nodded and echoed: "It's really good." Not only the top, but also the meal.

The number of online viewers in Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's live broadcast room has reached 500,000 at this time. Although there is still a big gap compared with other popular groups, there is one thing that is different from other live broadcast rooms: the viewing of Lin Cheng's live broadcast room The number of people is very stable, and there will not be too much traffic fluctuation even at different times.

It will not be like other live broadcast rooms, where the traffic is extremely high when there are designed programs "hot spots", the traffic is extremely high when fans vote together, and the traffic drops suddenly at other times.

Because of this, in terms of the comprehensive traffic ranking of the live broadcast room, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's live broadcast room seemed to be uncompetitive, but in fact they were slowly catching up with the other groups.

—

Here, Lin Momo had already packed their luggage, and began to worry about the issue of 'living'.

Lin Momo took out the pile of leaflets she picked up earlier.

The words on the flyer were densely packed, because the light in the room was too dim, in order to see the contents of the list clearly, Lin Momo had to carry the list into the living room and start studying.

There were all kinds of information on these lists, and Lin Momo didn't know which ones were true and which ones were false, so she spread out all these lists and put them on the coffee table, and began to compare them one by one.

Lin Momo ticked off the crew information that appeared in every chapter list, and put a question mark on the crew and information that rarely appeared.

After the first screening, Lin Momo circled the names of the crews that appeared on most of the lists in the rest of the list, and then drew five-pointed stars with consistent information.

So, after another round of screening, Lin Momo checked a total of 17 crews, and 36 casts drew stars.

Lin Momo copied the names of these crews one by one, the shooting progress, the number of scenes, and the number of extra performers needed in the small notebook she brought.

Lin Momo didn't know what the first-class, second-class and third-class and A-class and S-class... in the previous population were, and he didn't know who the starring stars were written on it, so they could only be divided according to the region.

Among them, the names and addresses of some venues looked similar. Lin Momo guessed that they should be in the same place or very close together, so they were grouped together.

Afterwards, Lin Momo picked out some key words from the information on the list and marked them in front of the name of the crew, such as: [Managing Fans], [Need a lot of people], [Earn a lot of money]...

Lin Momo wrote intently.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door, and two young girls came in talking and laughing.

"This time, Sister Qin is very reliable and has a lot of information resources, don't worry."

"It's fine as long as it's reliable. Let's take a look in a while and try to find someone who can join the group."

…

The two were talking, but when they saw Lin Momo in the living room, they were startled.

"Who is it!"

When it became clear that Lin Momo was just a child, the two girls relaxed, but they still looked at Lin Momo with puzzled faces and asked, "Little friend, where are you from?"

"I came with my father. We came here to shoot TV. We just moved in tonight." Lin Momo explained to the two of them.

"Group performance?" The two girls looked at the colorful list in front of Lin Momo and asked.

"Yes!" Lin Momo nodded.

"That's it..." The two girls stared at Lin Momo a few more times.

Before that, Lin Cheng himself was not well-known. Even though the first episode of "Living with Dad" gave Lin Cheng some exposure, it was far from being able to compare with Bai Yulin and Duan Bei's groups.

In addition, people in the film and television city are constantly busy all day long, so they rarely have time to watch variety shows. Therefore, at this time, the two girls did not recognize Lin Momo, nor did they know that they were recording a show .

I just thought to myself: People who come to the film and television city range from children of a few years old to seniors in their tens of years, there are all kinds of people, and it is not uncommon for them to bring their families with them, so I don't think it is strange.

Lin Momo was also looking at these two people.

—When the landlord brought them up, he introduced Lin Momo and the others. They lived in 307 before she and Lin Cheng lived in a total of 3 rooms.

One of the tenants was lucky and followed up with the crew to shoot in other places last week, but the things are still here.

The other family is a middle-aged couple. The two have stayed in the film and television city for a long time. The wife works in some restaurants in the film and television city during the day. My husband has been acting as a group performer. Although there are few filming sessions at night, the competition is small and the requirements are low, so the other party basically goes out to film at night and only comes back during the day.

Another room was occupied by two college students who had just graduated.

Lin Momo guessed that these should be the two young people living in Room 2 that the landlord said.

"My name is Momo." Lin Momo introduced herself to the two, and after thinking for a while, she grabbed a handful of candy from her pocket and handed it to the two, asking, "Sister, do you want some candy? This is from the landlady." mine."

Probably seeing Lin Momo's cuteness, before going upstairs, the landlord grabbed a handful of candy from the cashier counter of the small restaurant downstairs and gave it to her.

In Lin Momo's mind, these two people are her neighbors now.

When I lived in an old house with Liu Cuifang, the way to maintain friendly relations between neighbors was very simple, that is, you give me two oranges, and I invite you to **** family's food.

Seeing the candy offered by Lin Momo, the two girls waved their hands and declined, "No need, you can eat it yourself."

But facing Lin Momo's kindness, the two still smiled friendly towards Lin Momo.

Lin Momo put away the candies, and seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to sit and read on the sofa, she tidied up the lists on the coffee table, stood up from the sofa, and took a step back.

"Sister, sit down."

Seeing this, the two girls quickly waved their hands and said indifferently: "It's okay, the sofa is so wide, let's sit together."

Lin Momo nodded, moved to the edge of the sofa and sat down, continuing to sort out the information on her list.

—

After the two girls sat down, they took out the materials in their bags and began to discuss.

"I asked a senior sister to help me inquire about these materials, and they are basically accurate."

"These are the ones that have just started filming, and those that are about to start filming!"

"That is to say, so this is a good opportunity."

…

The two were discussing, Lin Momo sat aside and tried to keep quiet so as not to disturb each other.

However, Lin Momo subconsciously listened to the conversation between the two.

Here, seeing Lin Momo looking at them in confusion, the two girls smiled and joked, "Can you understand what we are talking about?"

Lin Momo shook her head, then nodded slightly.

"Are you talking about the crew information?" Lin Momo picked up her stack of lists and asked the other party.

"It's similar, but it's not the same." One of the tall girls said.

Those in Lin Momo's hand were lists for temporary group performances. Some retail investors who had just arrived, or who were not well-connected and could not rely on group leaders, relied on the above information to try their luck in various production groups.

In the hands of the two girls are the supporting role casting information, actor recruitment information and registration forms of some crews. If they pass the interview and are favored by a crew, they can join the crew to film.

Lin Momo couldn't quite understand the other party's explanation, and looked confused.

The girl pointed to her list again and reminded: "And, Xiao Momo, your lists are all expired."

"Well, I know, I'll just take a look." Lin Momo whispered.

—What can a child seriously look at.

Therefore, the two girls only thought that Lin Momo was having fun with the adult's list, and didn't care too much, and continued the discussion with their information.

After a while, Lin Cheng, who had tidied up the room, opened the door and came out.

"Momo, it's time for you to sleep." Lin Cheng said.

Hearing this, Lin Momo obediently replied "Yes", and introduced to the two girls, "This is my father."

"Momo, don't affect other people's work." Lin Cheng reminded.

"Oh", Lin Momo responded, got up from the sofa, hugged her list and said to the two girls, "Sister Mai and Sister Chen, good night", before returning to Lin Cheng's side.

Sitting here and chatting for a while, Lin Momo already knew the names of the two of them. The tall girl was called Shu Mai, and the shorter one was called Chen Manman.

After calling Lin Momo back, Lin Cheng said to the two girls again, "Sorry for bothering you."

Hearing this, the two girls quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no, Xiao Momo is quite obedient."

It wasn't until Lin Cheng took Lin Momo back to the room that the two girls looked at each other, and then began to discuss in a low voice:

"That was Momo's father just now? So handsome!"

"I also think that when she said that she and her father came here as a group performer, I wondered if his father was not too young, and the conditions were average. I didn't expect him to be so handsome, and he should look pretty good young."

"Just talking about looks, not acting skills, I think it's okay to be a male lead..."

In this regard, both of them were a little puzzled.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it.

After a few more gossips, the focus of the two girls returned to the few documents in front of them.

"Look how about this "Retrograde", it happens to be casting a supporting role, why don't we try it?"

"You can try it. However, the interview requirements for this show are probably not too strict, and I heard that the protagonist lineup is very strong, and many of them are from the 'national team'. We may not be able to be selected."

"Try it."

"also."

"What about this one? "Moon Hidden in Xijiang Night"."

"I know this, it seems to be a big IP, right?"

"That's right, and it's Starstone Entertainment's investment. It is said that it will be set in the first stage, and it is currently recruiting supporting roles."

"Really? Hasn't this drama been filming for more than a week? Why do you want to recruit supporting roles? Besides, there are so many young artists under Star Rock Entertainment, and there are still some who haven't debuted yet. There's no need to do casting in the film and television city, right?" .”

"Maybe it's to stir up the heat," Chen Manman said, paused, and then said: "But there is also a gossip."

"what news?"

"I heard that Xingshi Entertainment's original plan to win this IP was to support Sun Yimeng, and specially arranged for his senior Le Bai to make green leaves for the newcomers. As a result, the two seemed to be torn apart because of their roles and positions. It's the sweet pastry under the same agent, and the agent can't favor one another, so in the end it was changed to a two-male lead drama."

"Unfortunately, there are a few male and female supporting roles who became blamers and were dismissed by the crew. That's why they are recruiting actors again at this moment."

"It turns out that's the case, so it's no wonder. I heard on the Internet that Le Bai's manager seems to be quite powerful, and he seems to have a stake in Starstone Entertainment."
