Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

"Hey, when are you going to marry Oda?"

"We haven't discussed it yet, so we'll take it one step at a time. I don't think it will be too far."

"Ah? How far is not too far?"

"I don't know if you ask me that. I want to get married tomorrow. Can she get married tomorrow?"

In the elevator, Bai Lu started gossiping, but after hearing what Li Cheng said at the end, she felt that it was very true.

"It's here, it's here."

Fan Chengcheng, who had been silent the whole time, saw that the elevator had reached the third floor and motioned for everyone to go out.

"Did Brother Chen tell me which box it was?"

Zhou Shen turned around and glanced at Li Cheng who was holding the elevator door.

"It seems to be some hall, I forgot, Brother Chen sent it to the group."

Seeing that everyone had gotten off the elevator, Li Cheng naturally took his hand off the door frame and walked out of the elevator.

"I know. Come with me."

Bai Lu walked in front of the group, she knew where it was.

Open the box door

The door of the hotel's private room opens slightly, as if unveiling the prelude to a private space. Stepping into this luxurious private room with the theme of Kunming style, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge ink painting on the wall, with mountains and rivers in ink and clouds, as if the mountains and rivers of Yunnan are moved indoors. The green bamboo in the painting sways in the wind, and you can seem to hear the rustling sound, which adds a bit of liveliness to this quiet private room.

The light in the box is soft, and the crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling emits a faint yellow light, creating a warm and private atmosphere. The table is placed with exquisite porcelain, exuding a faint tea fragrance, and the tableware is made of Yunnan-style pottery with simple ethnic patterns painted on it, which not only shows the local characteristics but also is elegant.

The walls are inlaid with wooden carvings, and the delicate carving techniques show the profound cultural heritage of Kunming. The chairs are made of mahogany furniture, which is calm and comfortable to sit on, making people feel noble and peaceful as soon as they sit down. In a corner near the window, a pot of blooming Yunnan camellia quietly displays its beauty, as if it is a continuation of the scenery outside the window.

The air was filled with the faint fragrance of orchids, giving people a sense of tranquility and making them feel as if they were in a quiet courtyard in Kunming. The sound system in the box played soft folk music, and the melodious tunes made people feel relaxed and happy, as if they could temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of the world.

This private room is not only a place to enjoy delicious food, but also more like a small art gallery. Every detail reveals respect and love for Kunming culture. Private and luxurious, quiet and lively, people are intoxicated in this unique style.

"Ah! Here come you guys!"

Someone was already seated in the room, sipping tea and browsing on his phone.

"Brother Sha!"

“Satay!”

"Brother Sha!"

"Brother Sha!"

The four of them immediately greeted Sha Yi.

"Bai Lu has lost weight again."

"I'm trying to lose weight recently."

"Chengcheng, this is quite handsome."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"How was the Shen Shen concert?"

"is acceptable."

Sha Yi looked at Li Cheng behind him and said with a smile: "I was just watching your competition video, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Brother Sha."

Li Cheng hugged Sha Yi gently and stood behind the stool without sitting down.

Sha Yi looked at the four children who had not sat down and said, "Why are you all so polite? It's been such a short time since we last met, and you're already so polite? This is not like you!"

"Fan Chengcheng! Hurry and sit down!"

Fan Chengcheng was the first one to be called by Sha Yi. He nodded, found a seat and sat down, and motioned his assistant to sit down as well.

This time, Li Cheng did not sit next to Fan Chengcheng, but sat next to Sha Yi, leaving the seat next to Fan Chengcheng to Zhou Shen and Bai Lu.

When Sha Yi saw Li Cheng sitting next to him, he naturally reached out his hand, put it on Li Cheng's shoulder, and said, "When is the training camp?"

"I don't know. I'll wait for notification from above. The points competition hasn't been completed yet, and some teammates are playing overseas."

Li Cheng shook his head. His points race journey was over, but to be on the safe side, other members of the Chinese team were competing for points for the national team around the world.

"Give me some tickets then, and I'll take your sister-in-law and kids to the scene to cheer you on."

Sha Yi raised his eyebrows at Li Cheng and said in a low voice.

"Okay, just ask your assistant to contact my brother when the time comes."

Li Cheng looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Brother, do you have Brother Sun's contact information?"

"Yes, brother."

"Row."

Sha Yi patted Li Cheng's chest and said shyly, "Thank you."

"It's okay."

"What are you two talking about? You look so happy."

Fan Chengcheng looked at Li Cheng and Sha Yi who were chatting in the distance and asked.

"We didn't talk about anything, just asked what Da Chengzi was doing recently."

Sha Yi changed the subject again and asked, "I heard that you are playing Yan Ni's son in the drama you are filming now?"

"Yeah, Da Chengzi plays his son-in-law."

Fan Chengcheng nodded and pointed at Li Cheng.

"By the way, who are the actors in this drama?"

Bai Lu looked at Fan Chengcheng and Li Cheng.

"There are teachers Li Guangjie, Guo Xiaodong, Jiang Xin, Yan Ni, Zhou Jieqiong, Guan Xiaotong, Lu Yuxiao, Shi Yunpeng, and many more."

Fan Chengcheng put down the teacup in his hand.

"Your drama is called Noon Sunshine, right?"

"Yes, just like the Sunshine play."

After listening to this, Sha Yi smiled and said, "You have to shoot this drama well. Their TV dramas have all won awards, which will be of great help to you. Most people can't even get to act in such dramas."

"Of course I did. I auditioned several times."

When Fan Chengcheng thinks about the hardships he had back then and then thinks about being able to perform now, it’s really a huge improvement.

"I was endorsed by my superiors and Zhang Yi, and then Noon Sunshine found me."

Li Chengzhen didn't even have an audition, they just sent him a photo and asked him to act.

Fan Chengcheng was not jealous, but said: "Can you be the same as me? Not only did you pass the review quickly, but you acted well and were cheap. Who wouldn't want the show to be aired earlier?"

Li Cheng blinked after listening to this. Indeed, any TV series he starred in would be broadcast very quickly and would be easily approved.

"Oh, yes, Li Cheng's pay seems to be really not high." Bai Lu also suddenly realized this problem. Li Cheng's traffic is also very large, but his price is very cheap and affordable, and many directors are willing to use him.

"Da Chengzi is different from you. He chooses the scripts. He is not an idol, he is an actor!"

Sha Yi directly pointed out the key problem. Li Cheng can also act in those idol dramas and earn a lot of money, but Li Cheng doesn't even bother to watch them.

"Sha! What are you going to do with us?"

Bai Lu laughed angrily.

"What Sha said is correct! What is your masterpiece?"

Li Cheng responded directly and calmly picked up the teacup in front of him.

Bai Lu's face was full of black lines. She couldn't find any point to refute because although Sha Yi didn't win many awards, his roles were too well-known, such as Bai Zhantang, The Story of the Kitchen Team, A Little Joy and so on.

Last year, Li Cheng won the Best New Actor at the Asian Film Awards, the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Lotus Awards, was nominated for the Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards, the Best New Actor at the Huading Awards, and the Best Supporting Actor at the Magnolia Awards. In particular, he won the Best Newcomer at the Magnolia Drama Awards before his debut. His starting point was much higher than many of them. In addition, Zhou Nan and Bai Xiaochen, played by Li Cheng in the world, are very popular among the people. In particular, the role of Li Xun has won Li Cheng many fans.

For a moment, Bai Lu didn't know what her representative work was, or what role she played that was known to the people all over the country. If there was any, it was her real name, Bai Mengyan.

Fan Chengcheng lowered his head and dared not speak. What could he say? He is just a new actor, and he started late. It is not easy for him to transform. It is better for him to develop in a wretched way.

Sha Yi patted Li Cheng's shoulder with great satisfaction. Those characters engraved in people's hearts are the confidence of good actors like them!

Zhou Shen is not an actor, so he doesn’t know how to say it, but he also knows that Li Cheng’s acting is indeed better than Fan Chengcheng and Bai Lu, and this is a fact that everyone can see.

"You guys came quite early?"

Just after the box was silent for ten seconds, a voice broke the awkward and tense atmosphere.

"Yao Yitian!"

When Fan Chengcheng saw the person coming, he felt like his savior had arrived.

"Long time no see, Chengcheng!"

Yao Yitian hugged Fan Chengcheng with a smile.

"long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

When the Running Man director came to Li Cheng, he said happily: "Welcome to join the Running Man family!"

“I’m honored to be part of a show that I’ve watched since I was a kid.”

Li Cheng was happy from the bottom of his heart. Although the ratings dropped a lot after Brother Chao and the others were gone, Running Man was still a very popular program among the people, much better than Fanqie's program.

"Due to some reasons, Big Baby has been separated from us for a short period of time in the past few seasons, but she will come back later. She wants to spend more time with the children now."

Everyone nodded when they heard what Yao Yitian said. The big show a while ago affected many people. Although Dabaobe didn’t go, she still went to France!

Li Cheng frowned. He remembered that Dabaobe did not go to the show this time, but he could not change the fact that she went to France. He could only say that it was done by someone with ulterior motives.

"Hello!"

"Hello!!!"

Just after Yao Yitian sat down, the last two members of Running Man also arrived at the box.

After some greetings, Yao Yitian signaled the waiter to serve the food.

"Have you all read the script?"

Yao Yitian looked at his old friends who were really eating and drinking.

"Look, we'll follow your arrangements."

As the captain, Li Chen spoke first.

"Um, Yao Yitian, can I work within the framework of the script?"

Li Cheng raised his hand and looked at Yao Yitian.

"Okay, but don't deviate too much, otherwise we'll have to trouble everyone to re-record."

Yao Yitian is not that old-fashioned. If the effect is good, he also hopes that the guests can have some of their own performances, otherwise it would be too rigid if they just follow the script.

"it's not good?"

Li Chen looked at Li Cheng. He didn't like trouble.

"Chen, Li Cheng means to follow the script, but it is impossible for him to do whatever the director asks him to do. However, he will not deviate from the script, and he will not change the script!"

Zheng Kai is also worried. His old friend is too old-fashioned and a little dull!

"Oh, oh, I understand then."

Li Chen nodded. He now felt that Running Man was work.

Then, everyone ate while discussing how to present a better effect, without any greetings.

The lights in the box were soft, but they could not hide the seriousness and enthusiasm on everyone's faces. The air was filled with the aroma of coffee, but what was even more intense was the collision of creativity and passion. Yao Yitian's pen quickly moved on the paper, occasionally pausing, as if he was constructing the prototypes of each program in his mind. His eyes met with the guests from time to time, and they could both understand each other's persistence and pursuit of the program.

Program proposals were scattered on the table, some were circled, some were overturned. Every time an idea was proposed, a heated discussion ensued. Some guests waved their arms, trying to explain their ideas; others bowed their heads in thought, occasionally nodding to show their agreement. In the tense and tense atmosphere, there were occasional questions and rebuttals to the proposals, with high voices and passionate emotions.

Suddenly, Fan Chengcheng jumped up from his seat, waving a proposal in his hand. His eyes were burning and his tone was firm, as if he was holding the future of the entire program in his hands. His words were full of power, making everyone present feel his determination. The air in the box seemed to solidify at this moment, and everyone's attention was focused on him.

As the discussion deepened, the plan was gradually improved, every detail was repeatedly scrutinized, and every modification embodied the collective wisdom. Despite the differences of opinion, everyone understood that all this was to create a variety show that would satisfy the audience. As time went on, the discussion became more heated, but in the end, a unanimous opinion was born in the fierce confrontation of ideas. A satisfied smile appeared on everyone's face because they knew that they had found the answer.

"Then let's proceed tomorrow according to what we just discussed."

Yao Yitian thought it was almost done and signaled his assistant to put the plan away.

"Who are tomorrow's guests?"

Li Cheng looked at Yao Yitian curiously.

"One is Meng Ziyi, who is an old acquaintance of everyone, and the other is Cai Wenjing, who is an acquaintance of yours."

Yao Yitian did not hide anything.

"Li Cheng knows a lot of people!"

Zheng Kai looked at Li Cheng with a smile.

"There is no Brother Kai. Cai Wenjing is my eldest sister in Hao6. We were regulars on another show before."

Li Cheng hurriedly explained that this was not acceptable.

"Being a host is really good. I know a lot of people and it doesn't feel so awkward when recording a show."

Bai Lu actually also wants to be a permanent resident on Hao6. Not only is it safer than Running Man, it is also aired every week and the popularity will never drop. Even though Li Cheng is not recording much now, the Hao6 members will cue him from time to time in every episode.

"Li Cheng, I think your travel show on Ma Toilet is pretty good. Do you have a script?"

Yao Yitian looked at Li Cheng curiously.

Everyone present except Fan Chengcheng looked at Li Cheng, because they were also very curious. Now "Flowers in the Sky" would be on the hot search every day, and netizens were saying that the seven members of Beidou were like a pair of chopsticks, and any two of them could make a pair.

"No, but there is a mission. Before the show started, Brother Chao told us that this season is mainly for publicity. Flowers and Youth will show the audience the world and China. When we go out, we not only represent ourselves, but also our country!"

After Li Cheng finished speaking, everyone nodded. This sentence was absolutely right. Otherwise, how could the Silk Road Season of Flower Youth be so popular? Even the Central Bank praised it! (End of this chapter)
