"Jiao Shou, can I stay in the zoo to play for a few days? I don't need to attend the meeting anyway, and I don't seem to be in the next episode."
Who would have thought that right before the film crew was about to leave the zoo, the lead actress Xiaomei suddenly asked Jiao Shou.
Actually, her role in this episode wasn't substantial, just a symbolic presence at the beginning and end, and her lines totaled two sentences. She didn't need to familiarize herself with the plot nor spend time filming; frankly, her part could have been played by a cardboard cutout.
Precisely because of this, she had plenty of free time on set to play with the animals. While others were filming, she would be squatting on the sidelines, teasing the monkeys. Most girls like animals, and the ones brought in for filming had been specially trained by Suming, able to be both cute and act like domineering CEOs, quickly capturing Xiaomei's tender heart.
