China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 349 "Legend of Lu Zhen" The wife's admonition recording second episode (please subscribe!)
"Director Chen, Dongyang Huanyu has a TV series that wants us to invest in. Our screenwriting department has evaluated it and it's pretty good. Do you think we should approve it?"

"Oh~ what book is it?"

"The Legend of Lu Zhen, a costume palace drama."

When Chen Dong heard this, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What is Zhao Liying busy with recently?"

"Zhao Liying..." Zhong Lifang was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, she answered: "It seems that she just starred in an urban emotional drama, and now she should be off."

"As long as she has time, I'll help her get the female lead role in Legend of Lu Zhen."

"Director Chen knew about this drama before?"

"I've heard a little bit about it. Yu Zhen's studio is in charge of filming it."

Zhong Lifang nodded, then reported on other work before leaving.

After Yang Mi left, Tang Yan and Zhao Liying are currently the second-tier stars in the company with the most hope of being promoted to the first-tier.

Once they take this step, their value and status will increase greatly, so even if they want to slack off, the team behind them will urge them not to slack off.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Liying, who had just finished filming for the previous crew, had to rush to the next crew for an audition before she had time to take a good rest.

The audition date is today.

She was called up to put on makeup at four in the morning and was a little sleepy now, so she planned to sleep in the nanny car for a while and ask the assistant to call her when they were almost there.

But just as she closed her eyes, her agent's cell phone rang.

When she heard that it was Manager Zhong calling, she instantly became a little more sober.

A few minutes later, the agent put down his phone and said directly to the driver: "Master, turn around and go back."

"What's going on, Sister Yue? Aren't we going to the audition?"

Zhao Liying's brain was still confused at this time.

"No, the company asked you to go back and prepare for an audition for another TV series."

"Another one? I haven't heard that our company has any new TV series projects?"

"It's not from our company. It's a drama produced by Yu Zhen Studio under Dongyang Huanyu."

Previously, "Palace" starring Yang Mi was filmed by Yu Zhen's studio. Although there were some unpleasant experiences between this drama and Tangren at that time, it has to be admitted that "Palace" was a big hit.

At present, Yu Zhen Studio plans to continue filming costume palace dramas. In fact, no one questions its profitability.

It’s just that the attitude of the higher-ups towards this kind of TV series about time travel to ancient dynasties is unclear. Even though "Legend of Lu Zhen" has fictionalized the dynasty, many things are afraid to be explored in depth. Therefore, Dongyang Huanyu did not eat alone this time, but wanted to bring in a few more producers with strong backgrounds to share the pressure.

It was in this context that Dongyang Huanyu’s investment proposal was delivered to the desk of Manager Zhong of Dongcheng Pictures.

Back to the present, when Zhao Liying heard that it was a costume palace drama produced by Yu Zhen's studio, her sleepiness receded like the tide, and she woke up instantly.

……

The release date of "Resident Evil 5" in China has been confirmed.

Director Paul did not choose the Lunar New Year holiday, or even the National Day holiday, but instead set the release date on September 9th.

As for why this day is chosen, it is because it wants to be released simultaneously with North America.

Because Liu Yifei is the lead actor in "Resident Evil 5", she had the obligation to promote the film when she signed the actor contract.

However, Director Paul not only hopes that Liu Yifei can cooperate with the film's promotion in China, but also hopes that she can go to Asia's second largest film market, Xiaori, to promote the film.

The news was directly rejected by Chen Dong before it even reached his wife's ears.

The reason for his refusal was not only that Liu Yifei was pregnant and he didn't want to make her too tired, but also because he had been making trouble recently and dared to make a fuss about the island issue. It was like he had forgotten the pain after the wound healed and was starting to make trouble again.

After get off work, Chen Dong reported to his wife as soon as he got home.

He even received a playful compliment: "Donzi, you did a great job!"

Later, Chen Dong learned from Liu Yifei that she had obtained the cover copyright of "That Girl Told Me" today.

This way, he wouldn't have to give her another ballad.

The second episode of "Extreme Challenge" is being recorded in Shanghai. Today is September 9th, which means Chen Dong will set off for Shanghai at the latest tomorrow night.

At that moment, Chen Dong also reported this itinerary to Liu Yifei.

"If you are interested in the recording, you can come with me to Shanghai as a family member."

Liu Yifei was indeed a little moved.

But when she thought about her job which was actually quite stressful, she resolutely refused.

Every time Chen Dong goes on a long trip, Liu Yifei helps him pack his suitcase, and it has become a habit.

Naturally, this time was no exception. Even if Chen Dong wanted to help, he was not approved.

"Don't drink too much at night. Even if you do, don't get too drunk... Be careful when recording the show, don't get yourself hurt... Remember to bring some gifts for your parents when you come back, don't come back empty-handed... Husband, remember?"

"Ah? Yeah, I remember them all."

"Then repeat it again."

"I……"

Chen Dong and his wife looked at each other for two seconds. With a quick thought, he took her into his arms and was gentle with her. In this way, he escaped the disaster.

In the evening, news from the opening ceremony of this year's Toronto Film Festival spread back to China.

Because two well-known directors sent their films to the competition, and top-tier stars such as Jackie Chan and Zhang Ziyi appeared at the opening ceremony, this year's Toronto Film Festival also attracted much attention in China.

The next day, Chen Dong came to the company in the morning to handle some work, such as explaining some general directions for the post-production of "My Love from the Star"... He returned home at noon to pick up his luggage and said goodbye to his wife and children.

I boarded the plane to Shanghai in the afternoon.

When Chen Dong left the Shanghai Airport, the car that came to pick him up was not arranged by the crew, but Hu Ge's car.

This is because before Chen Dong boarded the plane, he received a call from Hu Ge, who insisted on playing the role of host.

It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Chen Dong did not reject it.

"How did you know I was coming to Shanghai today?" Chen Dong asked after getting in the car.

"Listen to what Brother Bo said."

That's it!

Chen Dong nodded and changed the subject: "I heard that you haven't taken any more roles since you finished acting in "Xuan-Yuan Sword". Are you planning to quit the industry?"

"I'm not going to quit the industry, I still have to make a living as an actor, I just feel that I have too many shortcomings and I want to calm down for a while."

Hugo continued, "By the way, I am performing in a play now."

"Being able to calm down and improve oneself during the highlight period of life, instead of being impatient, is a very rare quality in today's impetuous entertainment industry."

He praised her first, but then Chen Dong changed the subject and asked, "But aren't you afraid that after you quit this time, you will be out of fashion when you come back?"

Hu Ge had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, so he answered it without hesitation: "...I think life is full of ups and downs, so why bother about temporary gains and losses? Even if I am really out of fashion when I come back, I will come to ask Director Chen for a meal, hahaha."

"You seem to be more open-minded now. It seems that the last car accident had a great impact on you."

"Yes, after going through the gates of hell, I realized that there is nothing in this world that I cannot accept."

This meal was eaten at Hu Ge's home. In order to thank Chen Dong for taking care of Hu Ge before, Hu's mother specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain him.

During the meal, he kept putting food into his bowl and was very enthusiastic.

So when Chen Dong returned to the hotel, he could only feel greedy when he saw Huang Lei and the others having a midnight snack.

"Director Chen, these delicious crayfish and beer, are you sure you don't want some more?"

"I ate too much this afternoon. I'm afraid I won't be able to digest what I eat." Chen Dong patted his stomach gently and continued, "Okay, I'll go back and take a shower first. You guys can take your time."

After returning to the room and washing up, Chen Dong chatted with his wife for a long time. Feeling sleepy, they said good night to each other and fell asleep peacefully.

Chen Dong slept soundly without being disturbed by the director team. It was around nine o'clock.

The second episode of "Extreme Challenge" has officially started recording.

At this time, Chen Dong and the other six people all changed into the suits prepared by the program team. Their identities in this episode were the heirs of a big family.

But there is only one ultimate heir.

The rules of the game are that the six of them need to compete for the right to be the heir through a "gold-grabbing battle".

"Have you heard the rules of the game clearly?" Yan Ming asked immediately after introducing the rules to the six people.

"can."

"Okay, let's get started."

"I'm suddenly so excited."

"Director, I didn't hear you clearly."

A deaf fool suddenly mixed in with a group of smart people.

Everyone turned their eyes to Sun Honglei.

Huang Lei stepped forward and joked: "Director, it's not that Honglei didn't hear clearly, it's that he didn't understand."

Sun Honglei immediately realized the meaning of this sentence, kicked Huang Lei in the air, and said unhappily: "Who are you calling a fool?"

A few people chatted and laughed for a while like good friends. Seeing that the show was effective, the director stopped listening to them and started to advance the game progress.

"Next, the six family heirs come over to draw lots. The numbers you draw will be the order in which you will enter the vault to obtain the gold bars."

After drawing lots, Wang Xun raised his hand and asked:

"Director, I have a question."

"speak."

"If the first person to enter takes all the gold bars, what will the people behind do?"

As soon as Wang Xun asked this question, everyone knew without any guessing that he must have drawn a very late number.

He showed it openly without hiding it, and the note clearly read 6.
The last one to enter the vault.

Before Yan Ming could answer, Huang Boxian comforted him, "Don't worry, the people ahead of us will at least leave you a piece."

"Brother Bo, how much did you win?"

"5."

Wang Xun laughed when he saw Huang Bo's number: "I think yours is also in jeopardy."

"Don't worry, you two. The later games are definitely designed for gaining and losing gold bars. On the contrary, I think taking more in the beginning may not be a good thing, because taking too much will be very heavy."

Huang Bo looked at Chen Dong who was encouraging them, and asked like Wang Xun: "Director Chen, how much is yours?"

"4."

Seeing that the topic was being discussed endlessly, Yan Ming quickly stepped forward to interrupt their discussion and at the same time affirmed Chen Dong's explanation.

"Okay, now let's go to the vault in order. Who draws number one?"

"I."

Sun Honglei quickly stepped forward.

And under the instructions of the staff, he walked towards the vault door.

He kept looking back every few steps, with a smug look on his face, which made everyone want to rush up and beat him.

"Oh my god, there is so much gold!"

When Sun Honglei arrived at the vault, his eyes lit up when he saw the golden gold bars piled up on the table.

And this is not an act, it is the real reaction of an ordinary person seeing so many gold bars.

“Are these gold bars real?”

Sun Honglei asked the question to the camera, then walked forward and picked up a piece. It felt very heavy. The next second, he used the traditional method passed down by his ancestors to check whether the gold bars were real.

The so-called folk method is to put it in your mouth and bite it with your teeth...

"It's so hard, can this really be a real gold bar?"

At first, Sun Honglei actually suspected that these gold bars were props, but now he is somewhat convinced that they are real gold bars.

I can't help but be surprised again by the generosity of the program crew!

While he was surprised, he did not forget to stuff it into his box.

Unfortunately, the box was too small, and even after it was filled, there were still many gold bars that could not be put in.

But it made him feel very distressed.

"No, I have to hide part of it. I can't let it get away from the five bad guys who want to steal my status as heir."

The second person to come in was Huang Lei. According to his intelligence, he didn't want to take too much, but when he saw the heavy, golden gold bars in front of him, he couldn't help but pack a box.

"Okay, leave some for the four people at the back."

Huang Lei smiled at the camera, then carried the box and left through the side door that Sun Honglei had just left.

Shen Teng is the third one...

Chen Dong is fourth.

When he left, there was only one gold bar left on the table.

"Director Chen really loves me. He even left me a gold bar. I am so touched."

Huang Bo looked at the only remaining gold bar and picked it up without hesitation and put it into his box.

As for what he had just said, that he would at least leave one for Wang Xun, he had already forgotten it.

……

After a day of game play among six people, Shen Teng was the one who finally won the position of heir!

Of course, this day was the worst for him, because not only was he robbed by Sun Honglei and cheated by Huang Lei, but he was also fooled by Chen Dong.

It almost broke the mental world of this 'big kid'.

He was the winner in the end, but in fact, his brothers also made compensation out of guilt.

At eight o'clock that evening, Mango TV broadcast the first episode of "Extreme Challenge".

Chen Dong and his five friends did not go out for dinner, but watched this episode together in front of the TV.

“This is quite different from the feeling of watching a movie or TV series in which you acted.”

"Of course they are different. Movies and TV series depict other people's lives, while variety shows depict our own lives."

……

"Go Fighting" is never lacking in popularity.

With the airing of its first episode, online discussions about this variety show are beginning to explode at a rocket-like speed.

Before midnight, two related topics had already appeared on the top ten list of Weibo's hot searches.

There is no doubt that this variety show imported from South Korea will not be well accepted in China, because so far, it has been a hit.

Nolan and others far away in the United States were also paying attention to the effect of the first episode of "Extreme Challenge" after it was broadcast, or to be more precise, they were waiting to see how much the daily box office of "Batman..." would increase the next day.

At the same time, those businesses that have long been eyeing "Extreme Challenge" and want to obtain the naming rights are collectively getting restless...
