At two o’clock in the afternoon, Henry Chapman’s scenes were successfully wrapped.
He changed into casual clothes from the morning and ca out.
Nora Scott, who still had scenes to shoot, was waiting for him outside the makeup room.
"Here’s your room key card, the car’s not available, you’ll have to take a taxi yourself."
She handed the room key card over casually.
Taking the card, Henry Chapman pulled his hood back up to cover half of his handso face, casting deep shadows over his eyes.
He said, "I want to watch a puppet show."
"Sure, go ahead."
Nora nodded, agreeing nonchalantly.
Henry Chapman asked, "Did you buy tickets?"
"..."
Completely forgetting about the tickets, Nora paused for a mont, then rolled her eyes and calmly said, "No need for tickets."
Henry Chapman asked again, "Then did you plan the route to sneak in without tickets?"
"..."
Nora was montarily taken aback by his question.
Then she raised her eyebrows, her crimson lips curled into a bright smile, "Don’t worry, I guarantee you won’t be caught. Worst case scenario, if we do get spotted, I’ll be the first to cover your escape, okay?"
"Okay."
Henry Chapman seed reluctantly satisfied with her promise.
He ca to Anchel because Nora said she had clues about the group from five years ago, and with nothing else to do, he decided to co and take a look.
He agreed to Greenhill Town, not only for Nora’s hyped "major production," but also for the "puppet show" promised by Nora.
To be precise, it’s a famous large-wood puppet show.
Local puppet shows mainly feature Qin opera. The performance is divided into three parts: first, the puppets performing on stage; second, the operatic singing from the puppeteers behind the scenes; third, the musical pieces affecting the emotions of the stage characters.
Greenhill Town hosts a renowned Trump Puppet Museum, showcasing the large-wood puppet show, where the old museum owner’s skills are legendary, rumored to bring puppets to life vividly, turning dull operas into lively performances. Before retirent, people from all over the country ca to see it.
In recent years, he has retired, and the disciples he trained aren’t as skillful, but it’s not an issue in keeping the Trump Puppet Museum going.
Having perford in "Fire," Henry Chapman was sowhat looking forward to this kind of non-material cultural heritage, so even though Nora cunningly scheduled his ticket for six in the morning, he still rushed over.
"You rest at the hotel first, we’ll head back after shooting, then we’ll have dinner together and go to the puppet museum," Nora instructed.
"Okay."
Henry Chapman put the room key card in his pocket, slightly bowed his head, pulling the hood further forward.
He tucked his hands in his pockets, turned around, and was about to walk towards the back door when his steps paused.
He looked back, assessed Nora, and comnted, "Your acting has improved."
"Really?"
Nora smiled, sowhat surprised.
"Keep it up."
He pulled his hand out, waved, and walked away.

In the afternoon, during the shooting break, Nora sat idly on the bench, chatting with Pedro Langley.
She took so photos, selfies, and shots of the crew working, and sent them all to Pedro Langley.
Pedro Langley was still that irritable Pedro Langley.
[Pedro Langley]: Listen to , stop taking selfies.
[Pedro Langley]: Even my two-year-old nephew takes better photos.
Nora was speechless and ignored him.
Putting away her phone, the casual chat of three staff mbers next door ca through clearly—
"Poor Clent Winter, just being used for Isabella Hart’s publicity."
"What happened?"
"Wasn’t yesterday Clent’s birthday? The program prepared a birthday celebration in the evening, just a formality to show the bond between guests. But in the end, Isabella Hart took photos with Clent, and imdiately posted them on Weibo."
"The photo made Clent look cute, his fans flocked to her Weibo to leave comnts, boosting her marketing for ’Searching for the City’s Secret’ by tens of thousands of fans."
"I heard from the next-door program staff that Isabella Hart deliberately took a photo of the two, Clent tried to avoid suspicion, even pulling another guest, but she managed to snap the photo strategically."
"Isn’t Isabella Hart a comic artist? Why did she co into the entertainnt circle?"
"Who knows. Her looks and age aren’t particularly favored in the entertainnt industry."
...
Listening to their conversation, Nora couldn’t help but think of Isabella Hart’s various actions.
This person...
seed to have been like this since five years ago.
Her targeting of Isabella at the comic expo wasn’t solely because of Isabella’s attitude at the ti, and her fans stirring trouble at the gateway of the museum.
Rather—
She recalled seeing Isabella on Mihua Comics, rembering Isabella’s various sneaky antics against peers.
Isabella always acted unscrupulously.
Back then, she debuted with a style mimicking Zero, Zero didn’t pursue any action, yet Isabella played the victim, inciting her fans to attack, sar, and subtly harm Zero.
