Super Zoo-Chapter 636 - 628: 24 Hours
If you're sick, you need to be treated, even if you're a complete stranger. If you start spiraling into depression, Su Ming won't hesitate to reach out and pull you back from the brink on the roof of a high-rise building. And what about a brother from the dorm?
They didn't expect Lin Mu to become famous or wealthy; they just wanted to cure him. So, while they all ate skewers, they decided that Lin Mu shouldn't quit his job for now. Su Ming would get him an annual pass to the zoo, and whenever he had free time, he should go to Demon Domain Taoyuan to practice acting with those little sprites or play with the crowd of actors who came seeking stardom.
The cure must continue, and the flattered beauties were Lin Mu's medicine.
Su Ming made a call to Xiangjiang, and it seemed Long Wu was at the gym with his son.
Long Wu's son was also in the industry, and Su Ming had seen his work. To be honest, his acting was quite average, and he didn't look as good as Lin Mu. If not for his father, he'd probably only get roles as an extra, the kind that's easy to forget.
It's said that he worked hard behind the scenes. With his family background, there was no need for him to struggle. He could've been like many second-generation rich kids in China, spending his prime years on models and minor celebrities, instead of sweating it out in a gym to stay in shape and risking injury to learn fight scenes from martial arts instructors.
Still, Su Ming always felt like he wasn't cut out for acting, and all that effort was misguided. It's just everyone's fate, he thought.
So Su Ming mentioned that a very good friend of his wanted to act and asked Long Wu to keep an eye out for him. This was the first time Su Ming had asked for such a favor, and Long Wu agreed without a second thought.

At first, Lin Mu and Yang Tao were a bit skeptical. Could Su Ming really pull strings with just a casual phone call to move such a big shot from Xiangjiang?
But when the living Wang Jin showed up in front of them, they were thoroughly convinced.
Wang Jin's The Great Fairy Tale wasn't finished yet, and he'd been staying at a hotel near the zoo. Su Ming made a call to his assistant, inviting Mr. Wang for skewers and to chat about something. Before long, Wang Jin arrived with two actresses from his crew.
Both actresses looked familiar, young, beautiful, and charming. Following a heavyset man late at night made Wang Jin look like a pimp.
How could we dine without the company of beauties?
After telling Wang Jin about Lin Mu's situation, without mentioning that he was "sick," Su Ming repeated the conversation he had with Long Wu. Wang Jin slapped his thigh, "Great, Sellin, you've been feeling off in today's scene. Just right, Mr. Lin can help test your acting for free."
The actress named Sellin cooed a greeting to Lin Sheng, asking for his consideration. Lin Mu didn't even wait for a director's call to start and instantly immersed himself in the role, radiating the charisma of a national heartthrob.
"Wow, Su Sheng, your friend is quite professional! He also looks great, has he been trained?" Wang Jin asked, surprised.
"Him? He's had quite the rich emotional history; he shouldn't have a problem with sentimental scenes…" Su Ming held back a laugh and said, "Mr. Wang, do me a favor. If you have a suitable role in your future productions, let him try it. My friend has dreamed of being an actor since he was little."
Seeing Wang Jin for the first time in person, Yang Tao was a bit worried he might refuse, so he chimed in, "We would greatly appreciate your effort, Mr. Wang, and payment for the film is no issue."
Wang Jin's plump hand waved dismissively like a panda's paw, "Su Sheng, don't worry. I can't promise lead roles, but a supporting role with lines is no problem. But not for this film. After all, why not use friends when you can for an acting job?"
They continued eating until past ten at night, exchanging business cards. Wang Jin, seeing that Su Ming had no intention of keeping the two actresses with them, cheerfully left with them. On his way out, he packed over a hundred skewers to take back as a midnight snack for the crew...
"That deadbeat always comes to mooch off us without paying," Hong Feifei grumbled.
Lin Mu was still in a bit of a daze, still intoxicated by the feeling that Sellin gave him. It wasn't that the actress was extraordinarily beautiful—she was just truly cooperative. That's how acting should be, after all: The male actor makes a move or expression, and the female actor immediately responds emotionally and physically.
"Old Su, is just saying it like that enough?" Yang Tao asked anxiously, "Shouldn't we formally invite him for a meal or something?"
"For outsiders, this kind of thing is difficult to arrange, no matter how much money you spend. For people inside the circle, it's just a matter of words." Su Ming didn't speak, but Wang Hao spoke from the side, "Old Su is a producer in the entertainment world, standing at the top of the pyramid, even higher than directors. Whatever Old Su says, Wang Jin will definitely take into account."
"Stop flattering me. I'm probably one of the smallest producers out there," Su Ming chuckled. Producers are ranked, too. His sole production was a low-budget film. In theory, he was at the top of the entertainment pyramid, but his influence was probably not as significant as that of a well-known director.
...
The series of mishaps triggered by a class reunion temporarily came to an end.
Half a week later, the zoo finalized the animals that would participate in the Disney movie shoot: led by lop-eared rabbits and red foxes, a total of fifty-two animals accompanied by five veteran zookeepers would fly to America on a charter flight.
Disney really wasn't short on money. It's said that they built a temporary mini-zoo in the filming city to provide these animals a home and even invited the International Animal Protection Organization to supervise, ensuring there would be no legal issues.
