Chapter 37: Food Acting Method
The crew of "Our Family" was the most harmonious crew that Director Wu had ever encountered since he became a director. There was no rushing, no fans, no actors asking the screenwriters to change the script or other messy things. The shooting had been very smooth.
The only minor trouble was that he had to come out from time to time to supervise the actors to control their mouths, so they could maintain a photogenic figure.
As a result, the hotel gym where the crew was located had been very hot recently. The actors of the "Our Family" crew went crazy after each shooting. The hotel staff was particularly moved to see how dedicated the actors were.
However, what the actors thought in their hearts was that as long as they burn the calories quickly, obesity would not be able to keep up with them. So tomorrow, they could eat more meals made by Tang Qiaoqiao.
However, Tang Qiaoqiao, the culprit, didn’t need to go to the gym to burn calories at all.
It was another day with a clear sky.
Tang Qiaoqiao and Chen Qing were going to film a scene of the two sisters coming to the city. The two of them rarely went to the city. They were shopping around with food stamps and cloth tickets, but unexpectedly, they met a few rogue gangsters in the alley. Then in the script, it was the hero's turn to save the beauties.
Although the plot was vulgar, it had been tried and tested.
The two young men who were arranged as rogue gangsters who would molest the sisters were just two young male extras. They had not graduated from acting school but just took advantage of their free time to take a part-time job in the crew.
Who knew if it was because Chen Qing's name was too big, or if Tang Qiaoqiao's shocking kick was too impressive. The two male extras couldn’t perform well at all. Director Wu was not satisfied with them. It's not that he disliked them, but their acting was too restrained, and their expressions were not realistic enough. Even though he scolded them, they were NG over and over again.
[T/N: NG simply stands for "no good." In short, a take marked as NG is not usable due to some mistake, or the director just doesn't like it.]
The two male extras became more and more nervous with the director's scolding. Their eyes didn't dare to look at Tang Qiaoqiao, their cheeks were flushed, and the male protagonist who was waiting on the side was delayed in getting his chance to play.
Tang Qiaoqiao also yelled "Help" over and over again. She felt that she had been screaming for a long time for no reason.
The temperature was high. Everyone was a little impatient after shooting for so long. When the director called to stop again, the atmosphere fell into anxiety. One of the male group extras lowered his head, and his shoulders twitched as if he was about to cry.
"When men have tears, they just flick them lightly. I am the one who was molested for a long time, but I didn't cry." Tang Qiaoqiao patted the boy's thin shoulders, "Well, let me show you my food acting method. You can try it later."
The two male extras & Chen Qing: 'What? How can acting have anything to do with food?'
Tang Qiaoqiao: "I will play with her."
"Me?" Chen Qing, who was named personally, pointed at herself, blinked, and became excited, "Okay."
Tang Qiaoqiao used Chen Qing as the object of molesting, and she was forced into the corner. Tang Qiaoqiao leaned on the wall with one hand, staring straight at the woman from top to bottom.
Chen Qing entered the play very quickly. She pulled her collar tightly with her hands and looked terrified.
"You...what do you want to do to me?"
Tang Qiaoqiao: 'Sister, are you rejecting or inviting?'
"You can't think of her as a big star," Tang Qiaoqiao said to the male extra, "but treat her as a kind of food."
Tang Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow. "Look at how white and tender her skin is. Like an egg that was just cooked and peeled?"
The male extras nodded. "Yes."
"And the taste on her body. Imagine that she will taste like the kind of fruit you like. In the face of your favorite food, don't you feel intoxicated? Don't you want to eat?"
The male extras' eyes began to show yearning. "Yes."
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Since you really want to eat, you won't show timidity."
Then, she gently rubbed the back of her hand against Chen Qing's face.
She laughed and said, "This little girl's face is so tender, let brother touch it." Chen Qing was already pushed to a corner by Tang Qiaoqiao. Looking at her focused expression, her heart suddenly jumped. 'Ah, I am okay with this.'
Tang Qiaoqiao explained intently, "At this time, the victim will definitely resist. So what should you do?"
Chen Qing immediately responded. Her little hands were like wanting to refuse but warmly welcoming. "Ya~ don't...... don't~."
[T/N: In the raw, she actually said "Yamete.... yamete" –like in anime, which means ‘stop~’.]
Tang Qiaoqiao: '...Movie queen, your nature has been exposed.'
"She resists you, but you can't back down because you are a rascal," Tang Qiaoqiao said, "Imagine if a little chicken resisted against you from eating it, it would be very novel and funny. If you think about it this way, you can act like a bully naturally."
Tang Qiaoqiao continued to demonstrate, smiling with contempt. "Look, this little village girl is quite spicy. I like that you played hard to get. If you follow this young master, I will protect you. You can eat and drink well in the city in the future."
The two male actors nodded as if they finally understood.
But then, they saw Chen Qing leaned her head gently towards Tang Qiaoqiao, looking shy while saying, "Qiaoqiao, then if I follow you, will I be able to eat sesame biscuits every day?"
Male extras: ???
The male protagonist off-screen: '... I seem to have become redundant.'
Director: 'Damn, Tang Qiaoqiao's weird food acting method actually makes a bit of sense.'
At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out on the set.
Tang Qiaoqiao looked up, only to see a group of fans holding signs with her name, leaning forward and back laughing.
"Qiao Bao's appearance is great! We are all your girlfriend fans!"
"Hahaha sister CP, I will support. Let's ask the director for a sister play."
"Big orange is set! This orange trend is very good!"
[T/N: "Orange" is another term for girl love(GL)/Yuri. The term came from a popular Yuri manga "Citrus"]
Chen Qing heard the fans scream wildly, and she put up the show again. She raised Tang Qiaoqiao's hand and bowed as if they were at a curtain call in a theater. "Thank you."
Tang Qiaoqiao was stunned. She thought that only the staff would be on the set, so she let herself loose. When did the fans come?
They couldn’t have watched the whole journey, right?
It's over!
After Tang Qiaoqiao and Chen Qing gave such an alternative demonstration, the atmosphere at the scene was much more relaxed. The male extras acted a little more relaxed. They thought about the method Tang Qiaoqiao taught them and found that it was really effective. As long as they regarded the two of them as their favorite food, not big stars, they finally dared to look at them directly.
So after two more takes, the scene finally passed.
After the filming of this scene, Tang Qiaoqiao could take a short break. The fans immediately gathered around her.
Tang Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"We visited the set to give you support." In order to give Tang Qiaoqiao a surprise, the fans only informed the agent, Brother Qian, in advance. They asked him to keep it secret.
This was the first time that Tang Qiaoqiao had close contact with fans. Fans were very excited, and some people even kept muttering, "I can't believe it. I actually saw Qiaobao. Alive!"
Tang Qiaoqiao laughed. Of course, it was live. She was not dead.
The fans babbled, "Qiao Bao, you wore so much on a hot day. Isn't it hot?"
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Fortunately, I have cooling stickers." She had cooling stickers on her arms and back, but the shirt on her back is still soaked.
The fans sighed, "You work really hard."
Tang Qiaoqiao chatted with the fans all the way and came to the support car prepared by the fans. A big Tang Qiaoqiao poster was hung on the pink car.
Two or three tables were put together in front of the car, and there were a lot of exquisite support gifts, such as drinks, fruit platter, and small electric fans with Tang Qiaoqiao picture, all for the crew.
"Qiao Bao, this is for you."
Tang Qiaoqiao took the hat that one of the sugar rabbits handed over, and her eyes lit up. There was a picture of a pink bunny cooking with a spoon in its hand. The rabbit was also wearing a pink chef uniform and a chef hat. The word "Qiao Bao" was written in the middle of the hat.
Dead. This hat was hitting her charming girl's heart!
Her fans were really little angels who know her the best.
The fan reminded in a small voice, "Qiao Bao, look at the back."
It turned out that this hat was double-sided.
Tang Qiaoqiao turned it over and saw a sudden change in style on the back.
It was the same pink rabbit, except that it was wearing a black narrow-sleeved tunic exercise suit. Its rabbit eyes flashed sharply, and it raised its feet high, wishing to kick into the sky.
Fans also thoughtfully put two imposing and powerful speech bubbles: "Ah hey!"
Tang Qiaoqiao: 'Are you the devil?'
A fan came with starry eyes. "Qiao Bao, do you prefer the image of soft outside and hard inside, or hard outside and soft inside? Next time, we will draw it and give it to you."
Tang Qiaoqiao was stunned by the question. She even thought for a few moments, but was there a difference?
Well, she would lay flat, no longer struggling.

Xiaoxiao, as the leader of the fan group, took the lead to introduce Tang Qiaoqiao to the merchandise, "Qiao Bao, these posters and roll-up designs are all made by us."
Tang Qiaoqiao looked at the exquisite layout of the booth and was moved to tears.
She saw the three big characters "Tang Qiaoqiao" on the roll-up banner at a glance. They were written in smooth calligraphy strokes, soft and rigid, and they weren't random photos.
She asked curiously, "Who wrote these words? It's really good."
Xiaoxiao: "It's a male fan in our group, but unfortunately, he couldn't get here this time."
Tang Qiaoqiao was surprised. "There are male fans?"
"Of course, there is one here." Xiaoxiao pulled a man wearing a mask from the outside, "He is the richest boss among us. He funds all the drinks here."
"You..." Tang Qiaoqiao pointed at him, and her eyes widened. "You are Mr. Zheng..."
"Yes, he is the little whip who rewarded you with 999 roses," Xiaoxiao answered first.
"Huh?" Tang Qiaoqiao was puzzled. Although he was wearing a mask, his sulky gold-rimmed glasses made her instantly recognize him. He was obviously Zheng Gongju. How could he become a little whip?
The man pushed his glasses and said, "My screen name is Little Whip in Qiao Bao's hand."
Do all the rich guys now like to play this way? Hearing his screen name, Tang Qiaoqiao understood. No wonder that a whip was prepared when the commercial was shot that day.
Tang Qiaoqiao gave Zheng Gongju a look, 'Don't worry, I won't say anything.'
Everyone had the freedom to pursue what they like. Who didn’t have a special hobby in modern society?
Zheng Gongju received her gaze, and his expression was calm, but the screams in his heart were about to overflow.
'I'm wearing a mask, but she can recognize me. I really am special to her.'
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't know Zheng Gongju's inner thoughts and saw that the fans were too busy to distribute these small gifts to the various staff.
She asked distressingly, "Have all of you eaten?"
"No!" The fans replied loudly and in unison.
They stared at Tang Qiaoqiao with eager eyes. Their real thought in plain view: 'Just waiting for your next words.'
Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly had an epiphany. "Your real purpose is to come to freeload food."
Fans: 'No, it's exposed.'
This time there were more than 30 fans. Tang Qiaoqiao thought about it and decided to make dumplings. As the saying goes, "Nothing easier and tastier than dumplings." The number of people was enough, so the folding speed would be fast. Making dumplings together can make the fans feel involved.
Tang Qiaoqiao usually feeds everyone so many times in the crew. This time when she wanted to borrow the kitchen, the logistics team easily agreed, and she could use the ingredients as she pleased.
Tang Qiaoqiao checked the ingredients in the kitchen and found a basket of fresh Spanish mackerel, so she decided to make Spanish mackerel dumplings.
The fresh mackerel was split into two large pieces along the back, the bones were carefully removed, and the flesh was scraped off the skin little by little. The skin was not used.
The fish was wrapped in gauze and chopped into a thin fish paste with the back of a knife. Pure Spanish mackerel fillings had a more woody taste. So a little fat must be added and mixed well to make the taste softer and more mellow.
Then she took the tender part of the leeks, not too much, just enough to mix it with Spanish mackerel to give a fragrance. There was no need for cooking wine to remove the fishiness. She just used water from boiling green onion, ginger, and pepper, and stirred clockwise so that the stuffing was completely mixed with the green onion and ginger water.
Tang Qiaoqiao made the dough and asked a few fans who could make dumplings to help roll out the dough. Some sugar rabbits were extraordinarily ingenious, and the rolled dough was thin and translucent.
The round dumpling skins rolled out quickly, and the rest of the fans did not wait. They all came to make dumplings.
Those who didn’t know how to fold dumplings are also ready to follow suit, such as Zheng Gongju.
He had already grabbed the position next to Tang Qiaoqiao and followed her with learning intention.
Tang Qiaoqiao knew that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so she didn't expose him. She only regarded him as an ordinary fan.
"Mr. Little Whip, let's first take a dumpling wrapper and dip it with a little water on the edge."
Tang Qiaoqiao's heart always complained about the shameful name, but Zheng Gongju's heart rippled when he heard it.
'Ah, this name is very nice when it comes out of her mouth.'
Yes, Zheng Gongju had a tremor hidden in his heart.
Although Tang Qiaoqiao wanted to follow a "cute and charming" personality set, Zheng Gongju discovered another hidden side of her as early as the moment she aggressively caught pigs in the show. He couldn't stop following her ever since.
Zheng Gongju swayed while continuing to learn.
Tang Qiaoqiao picked up a tuft of mackerel filling, closed the dumpling skins, squeezed the middle part, and then squeezed the mouth with both hands. A beautiful dumpling with a round belly was formed.
Zheng Gongju was dumbfounded. He swore that he only blinked his eyes for a second or two, but he couldn’t keep up with Tang Qiaoqiao's rhythm.
It's too fast.
"Qiaoqiao, you slow down." Not only him, but several fans could not keep up.
Tang Qiaoqiao patiently taught them over and over again and also wrapped the dumplings in various ways.
Finally, the fans decided not to harm those dumplings. Instead, they held up their mobile phones to take pictures of Tang Qiaoqiao from different angles.
This was the first team-building event of the Sugar Rabbits and Qiao Bao.
After a group of people were in a hurry, they finally made all the dumplings. The dumplings were cooked in three batches before they were served. Each fan could get more than ten white and fat dumplings steaming with thin and translucent skin. They could faintly see the milky white fillings mixed with emerald green.
Fans had come from all corners of the world. Some were simple and crude and only liked dipping their dumplings in vinegar, and some liked garlic mashed with sesame oil. Tang Qiaoqiao has prepared several different dipping sauces with heavier taste, and she also contributed an exclusive secret chili red oil, guaranteed to make people swallow their tongues.
Fans cherished the dumplings, which they made together with Qiao Bao. When the heat dissipated slightly, they took the next half of the bite. Their mouths were full of the fresh fragrance of Spanish mackerel, not fishy but delicate, overflowing with juice, and the unique flavor of leeks, which was indescribable. They rolled it again in the dipping sauce. The taste of red oil and garlic spurred the tip of the tongue—happiness in a simple form.
A fan who was in a hurry to eat was scalded and she jumped and panted. She said vaguely, "It's delicious, it's so delicious."
Everyone laughed.

"Boss, what else do you want to eat?" Li Ji was very tortured. He and Shen Yue had been sitting in the hotel booth for more than an hour and ordered a few foods, but Shen Yue only took a bite then put down his chopsticks. This was going to take out his life. The boss came out with him this time. If someone found him thin and sick when he went back, the guys in the company would have to beat him to death.
"Boss, how many bites do you eat? I didn't see you eating when we got off the plane." Li Ji persuaded him bitterly.
Why did it happen like this? The matter started when he received a call from Shen Yue that day.
Shen Yue called up and asked him if the company had any cooperation projects with others recently. He wanted to go out and investigate.
Li Ji was happy. The boss finally walked out of the haze of his life and wanted to focus on his career. He immediately reported several key cooperation projects to him.
However, before he finished, Shen Yue interrupted him and asked if they had any cooperation with Zhejiang Province.
Li Ji: "Yes ."
Shen Yue said without hesitation, "Be prepared. We will investigate this project."
Li Ji: He didn't seem to have time to introduce what it was.
All in all, the two of them flew to this city very quickly. However, Shen Yue didn't want to live in the five-star presidential suite prepared by the partner. He had to live in this four-star hotel in this remote suburb.
There was a film and television base next to this hotel, which led to a mixture of people nearby. Li Ji never let go of his heart when he moved to the hotel, and told the bodyguard several times that they must protect the boss's safety.
Li Ji's face was frowning because Shen Yue was not eating, while the person on the opposite side swiped his cell phone expressionlessly, with an overwhelmed heart.
Fans who participated in the crew support had shared a large section of the event on Weibo, with pictures, texts, and sincere feelings.
They not only met the real Tang Qiaoqiao, but also made dumplings with her and had team-building activities. They praised the dumpling as the best dumpling they had ever eaten in their lives.
Fans who couldn't be there were screaming in envy.
Shen Yue opened the photos posted by fans one by one. As long as there was Tang Qiaoqiao, he would stay in that picture for a while.
Who is the man next to Tang Qiaoqiao, and why did he make dumplings so close to her?
They ate dumplings deliciously, but he could only eat cold, greasy food here.
'Very good.'
At this time, there was a loud noise from the entrance of the hotel.
Li Ji craned his neck and looked over, only to see a woman walk in surrounded by a group of people.
'Hey, that woman is a bit familiar.'
'Damn it, that's Tang Qiaoqiao.'
Li Ji moved his neck slowly, and his gaze fell on Shen Yue's body, only to see him staring intently at the entrance.
'It turns out that there was an ulterior motive.'
