Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

"Is this the home of the heroine you're looking for?"

Zuo Zhizhi nodded, confused. "Is there any problem?"

"This is a huge problem!" They wanted to shake Zuo Zhizhi's head to see what she was thinking. "The heroine comes from a police family! Is such a luxurious community and such a luxurious villa really suitable?"

Zuo Zhizhi spread her hands and said, "What's the big deal? Who said that everyone in a police family has to be a police officer from beginning to end? Can't others go into business? What's more, the heroine has been suspended for some reason, so why bother about that!"

Seeing that the others were about to say something, Zuo Zhizhi took out the script and pointed at a few lines of text. "Look! The sofa the heroine sits on, the sports car she drives, and the supermarket she often goes to, which one can be afforded by a low-income person? So this is my reasonable speculation!"

"Besides, we didn't show the name of the residential complex when we filmed it. We were just borrowing the villa. It's totally fine!"

Seeing Zuo Zhizhi getting more and more excited, the others could only nod secretly, "Okay, sure!"

But this raises another question, "So we're filming here, and the property management..."

Zuo Zhizhi waved her hand, "Don't worry, I've already said hello!"

This villa was purchased by my brother alone. Unlike Zuo Zhizhi, a student who needs to ask her family for money, my brother has his own company and moved out early.

It's just that he lives in the city all year round, so the villa is empty.

When he heard that his sister was going to take a photo, he naturally chose to contribute his villa without saying a word, and took the initiative to ask if there was any other help he could provide.

Zuo Zhizhi unceremoniously listed a long list and asked him to coordinate it.

After all, I still have a lot of things to do here!

Although my brother's villa looks very luxurious, most of the things in it are unusable.

My brother's aesthetic is typical minimalist, with a uniform black, white and grey color scheme. If the walls of this world could be painted black, he would do it without hesitation!

I have never seen anyone as reserved as him, yet the rooms in his house are very normal!

However, since we are going to shoot the heroine's scenes here, it is naturally impossible to have such decoration.

Apart from the basic hard furnishings which cannot be changed, all the soft furnishings must be moved from other places.

Zuo Zhizhi looked at all the tables, chairs, sofas, wine cabinets, and even carpets and mirrors made by various masters. However, their aesthetic tastes were similar to hers, so she moved some spare items from home and decorated the place nicely.

Fortunately, in order to fit the character setting, this huge villa was fenced off, leaving only a few rooms, so that the extra things had a place to go.

In order to get the hang of it and to minimize the impact on others, their first scene was set in a villa, where several people, led by the heroine, gathered to review recent cases together.

Although the order is a bit reversed, it can still allow everyone to immerse themselves in the experience.

Next comes the filming of different cases.

The first scene is a hospital. It is very difficult to shoot in a hospital. After all, the hospital is crowded and busy, and it is difficult to make room.

However, Zuo Zhizhi took a different approach. Since the hospital was not an option, she decided to simply choose a sanatorium. A professional sanatorium like this would not have too many problems, and its structure was very similar to that of a hospital.

Of course, the most important thing is that my second uncle owns a nursing home, so I only need to choose the one with the least number of people suitable for filming and don’t have to worry about other problems.

Knowing that his niece wanted to shoot a TV series, the second uncle was very happy about it and readily agreed to the rental.

They even arranged for some nurses to come and train them. The students in the school only performed the roles of nurses based on their own feelings, which was definitely not as realistic as real nurses.

As a short play, it took almost a week to shoot all the hospital scenes. To be precise, it was to wait for Xu Mingzhu's last day.

After all, as the big boss behind the scenes, she needs to appear in various places, especially the scene of instigating murder in the hospital, which must be realistic and exciting, so it is impossible to use other scenes.

After finishing the filming of Xu Mingzhu's part, the second scene of the bar came.

When filming this drama, Zuo Zhizhi was a little embarrassed, but with the mentality that if I am not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed, she successfully completed the entire filming.

Because the bar was borrowed from Cheng Yixing's bar.

Zuo Zhizhi was not very familiar with the name Cheng Yixing. She only knew that he was a friend of her brother. It was only when she really began to understand him that he was closely related to Zuo Zhizhi's experience.

To be precise, Cheng Yixing found a mistress while he was married, and later sent the mistress into the entertainment industry and gave her a lot of resources. This mistress was Meng Wanqing, who had previously madly slandered Zuo Zhizhi.

Although the relationship was complicated and difficult to sort out, seeing that Cheng Yixing stood firmly on his side when the incident happened, he reluctantly accepted the matter.

After all, for Cheng Yixing, women can be replaced, but he only has one brother and only one sister. What's more, he has one sister each for each brother. This disobedient person actually offended them at the same time!

So there is no second possibility!

After Zuo Zhizhi's filming, Cheng Yixing took great interest in inviting Zuo Zhizhi and Xu Mingzhu to dinner, under the pretext of "apologizing", but in fact he was just continuing to hang out with his other friends.

"How do you say people with completely different personalities get together?"

"Maybe two people with different personalities got mixed up, so their respective friends also gathered together later!"

Zuo Zhizhi and Xu Mingzhu grew up together. They are inseparable and have very similar personalities and interests.

But the personalities of their brothers Xu Guifan and Zuo Yunting are very different.

Although the two did not become distant after growing up, their respective circles of friends surprisingly overlapped.

I really don’t understand!

Fortunately, it didn't have much impact on them. Zuo Zhizhi and Xu Mingzhu were not interested in their friends at all. Apart from the occasional polite nods and greetings when they met, they had no other interactions at all.

This time I came to Cheng Yixing's bar to film simply because I didn't know anyone else who owned a bar.

Fortunately, the cooperation was very pleasant and there were no problems.

The third case occurred in a residential area. It was a seemingly simple homicide case, but the crew denied the location Zuo Zhizhi had previously wanted to go to. Instead, they took the initiative to contact their own community and obtained permission to film.
