[ContrastTeamInADadW/BabyShow] Chapter 51.3 — Acting as an ‘Extra’


Looking at the group of people crowding in front of him to sell leaflets, Lin Cheng frowned slightly and instinctively nudged Lin Momo to stand behind him.

However, perhaps because she had experienced too many noisy and chaotic situations in her life before, Lin Momo didn’t seem frightened by the sudden swarm of people.

Lin Momo’s eyes lit up when she heard these people talking about ‘crew information’, but when she heard that these notes cost thirty or even forty yuan, the expectant expression on Lin Momo’s face instantly collapsed.

Lin Momo took Lin Cheng’s hand and said, “Dad, let’s just work hard together. We don’t need this.” 

Their total budget for living expenses this week was only 150 yuan. If they buy these small leaflets that these people were selling, they might starve to death on the streets!

Lin Cheng made a sound of agreement and left with Lin Momo—he had no intention of buying these little scraps of information either.

While on the plane earlier, Lin Cheng read the information Chen Yu had given him. Although it was not comprehensive, it nevertheless still had some reference value.

Seeing Lin Cheng leaving, the group of people shouted again as if they still didn’t want to give up, “Would you like the cheap one then? I have one here that only costs 10 yuan. It has information about the third-category crew just for you!”

“If you like, the electronic version will be two yuan cheaper.”

After hearing what the other party said, Lin Momo shook her head very firmly and continued to walk forward with Lin Cheng.

… …

Along the way, there were still many people selling similar flyers, and occasionally some people wearing work passes would go over to these people to buy some.

As the father and daughter walked farther into the Film and Television City, there were less and less people selling flyers until there were finally none.

The Film and Television City at night was much quieter than it was during the day.

The two of them wandered the streets of the Film and Television City for a long time. Because it was already dark and they could no longer see the surrounding scenery clearly, Lin Momo’s original excitement was gradually replaced by exhaustion and sleepiness.

“Are you tired?” Lin Cheng asked, his head lowered to look at Lin Momo.

The residence that the program crew had rented for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo was at the far end of the western quadrant of the Film and Television City. To get there, they had to pass through half of the Film and Television City.

This distance was not small.

Hearing Lin Cheng’s voice, Lin Momo seemed to wake up a little. She shook her head and said, “I’m not tired.”

However, when taken with Lin Momo’s dragging footsteps at this time, her words ‘not tired’ were not convincing at all.

Lin Cheng put down their luggage temporarily and squatted down to let Lin Momo get on his back.

But at this moment, Lin Momo’s sight fell in a certain direction and her expression lit up, and her eyes, which had been shrouded with sleepiness, suddenly brightened.

“Dad, there are small flyers over there like those people were selling!” Lin Momo said.

Before Lin Cheng could speak, Lin Momo already trotted towards the direction she had been pointing at.

Next to a bench by the roadside, there was indeed a colorful leaflet. Lin Momo looked around her, and after confirming that it was a list that no one wanted anymore, Lin Momo picked it up. 

This leaflet was exactly the same as what those people were selling.

Lin Momo ran back and handed the list to Lin Cheng with a face full of surprise. “Dad, look, they are really the same!” 

“Those people wanted us to pay! But we picked this up without having to pay any money at all!” Lin Momo was very happy with this.

… …

During the broadcast, many viewers started asking questions about the list that Lin Momo picked up:

[Is there such a good thing?]

[Could it be airdropped by the program team?] Someone guessed.

However, such speculation was quickly refuted by others.

[According to the usual behavior of the program crew, do you really think they will do this? ]

[Did someone else lose it then?]

[Maybe someone didn’t want it anymore.]

[Let me tell you, I have been to the Film and Television City before because of a production. There are quite a lot of small lists like this, some are real and some are fake. The ones thrown away are either fake, or they were already used up and the information listed there has expired.]

Lin Momo couldn’t see what the audience was saying over at the livestream, but she was able to notice by herself that the crew information and dates written on the leaflet was for today.

In other words, this recruitment information has passed.

“It’s expired…” Lin Momo stared down at the list, feeling a little disappointed.

But then Lin Momo soon raised her head and asked Lin Cheng, “Dad, although this information for today has already expired, the film crew mentioned her is still there, right?! Then can we follow what is said here and find them at their locations and ask them one by one if they want actors?”

Theoretically, although it was not efficient, the method Lin Momo said was indeed feasible.

Lin Cheng took the list and quickly scanned it to check the authenticity of the list.

After taking a quick look at it, Lin Cheng put the list away.

“Come up, I’ll carry you,” Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo.

Lin Momo shook her head, “I’m not sleepy.”

That was an unexpected ‘surprise’—because of the excitement of finding the leaflet, Lin Momo was not sleepy at all now.

Before Lin Cheng could say anything else, Lin Momo found a new target and ran towards the two other colorful leaflets by the flower bed.

Lin Cheng wanted to stop Lin Momo, but seeing Lin Momo’s cheerful look, he could only let her go, only reminding Lin Momo when necessary: ​​”Pay attention to safety” or “Don’t run too far.”

… …

Lin Momo was able to gather a lot of flyers along the way.

By the time the two arrived at the west side of the Film and Television City, Lin Momo already had a small stack of these leaflets in her hands, carefully cradled in her small hands if she was holding some big treasure.
