China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 150 Yili, are you okay?

Because of her pregnancy, Ma Yili's weight has increased by about 30 kilograms, and she is much more afraid of the heat than usual. It is very difficult to turn around or change positions at will.

Ma Yili took a breath and said, "Huizi, please let me slow down first."

Looking at Ma Yili who was dripping with sweat, Chu Hui couldn't bear it. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, take a rest and I'll get you a glass of water."

After saying that, Chu Hui turned around and poured her a glass of warm water.

Ma Yili took a sip of water, calmed down for a moment, and then said angrily: "Huizi, you are such a bastard!"

Chu Hui knew that he had made a mistake first, and did not argue with Ma Yili. He also took the initiative to apologize to her: "Yili, you are right, I am a bastard. It is my fault. Please calm down and don't be the same as me..."

Seeing that Chu Hui had a good attitude in admitting his mistake and no longer smiled playfully, Ma Yili didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Ma Yili was almost rested, Chu Hui helped Ma Yili up and moved around a bit.

Ma Yili picked up her phone and checked the time. It was not even 9 o'clock, so she was in no hurry to leave.

Compared with classmate Xiaowen, who is smaller in stature, Chu Hui's broad embrace obviously makes him feel more secure than Xiaowen.

The way Ma Yili looked at Chu Hui was much gentler than before.

Chu Hui smiled and reassured: "Yili, what you said is a bit biased. I admit, I did go too far just now,"

Chu Hui hugged Ma Yili and asked with concern: "Yili, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

After hugging each other for a while, the two hugged each other again.

Although Ma Yili was reluctant to let go of Chu Hui, she was not a lover and would not be devoted to Chu Hui just because he made her feel comfortable.

Because he was worried about affecting the child in Ma Yili's belly, Chu Hui did not dare to ask her to meet again for the time being. Instead, he devoted his time and energy to the preparation of the drama "Snow Leopard".

Obviously, in Ma Yili's heart, Chu Hui's status cannot be compared with Xiaowen for the time being.

Compared with the previous trysts, this time with Chu Hui, Ma Yili was obviously more attached to Chu Hui because of the deeper communication.

There is no other reason, mainly because she and his Xiaowen are husband and wife, and they are the real community of interests.

Despite this, Ma Yili was still very awake and did not stay too long. As usual, she said goodbye to Chu Hui and left the rental house before 11 o'clock.

Ma Yili interrupted with a smile: "Come on, you know how to say nice things,"

"But you can't blame me entirely for this. If you want to blame it, it's because Commander Yima is too beautiful and charming..."

Ma Yili smiled and said: "Hey, you know how to care about me now? Why did you go there earlier! Cats cry and mice show mercy!"

Seeing that Ma Yili had no intention of leaving, Chu Hui also hugged Ma Yili carefully from behind.

Ma Yili had a big belly and was very tired whether sitting or lying down, so she leaned in Chu Hui's arms, closed her eyes, and felt Chu Hui's tenderness and thoughtfulness.

What's more, Ma Yili is still pregnant with Xiaowen's child. Even if one day the two of them cannot continue to be husband and wife, there is no way to change the fact that they are the child's parents.

As for the reputation of the drama "Yanjing Love Story", although it has begun to become polarized with mixed reviews, the ratings of the drama remain high, making major TV stations a lot of money.

The commercial success of "Yanjing Love Story" also gave Chu Hui a lot more time and freedom.

In fact, before "Yanjing Love Story" was even aired, it caught the audience's attention because of its all-star cast including Chu Hui, Li Chen, Zhang Yi, Li Xiaoran, Zuo Xiaoqing, Yang Mi, and Fan Shaohuang. In addition, the play covered hot topics often discussed by young people such as "Beijing drifters" and "older unmarried people", which successfully aroused the emotional resonance of this audience.

Especially in Yanjing, the drama "Yanjing Love Story" has received more attention and love.

After all, the drama "Yanjing Love Story" tells the story of Yanjing. The ratings of the drama in Yanjing are naturally more popular than elsewhere.

According to statistics, "Yanjing Love Story" achieved the highest ratings of 2.38% on the day it was broadcast in Beijing. Subsequently, its ratings continued to rise and reached a level of 4% on the fourth day of broadcast.

At the same time, the drama also topped the Baidu search list and became the most watched film and television work on the Internet.

How popular is this drama? The experience of the well-known scholar Xiong Peiyun is enough to illustrate the problem.

Xiong Peiyun posted an article on his blog, pointing out that the plot of the drama fell into clichés. Unexpectedly, he was immediately "besieged" by a large number of netizens and caused a stir.

Of course, the reason why "Yanjing Love Story" can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people has its own merits.

Xu Fan, a teacher at Communication University of China, believes that this TV series is significantly different from some previous so-called "youth idol dramas" about "the dreams of wealthy families". The fate of the characters in the TV series has a strong sense of life, making people empathize with it.

And those lines that seem witty and humorous, but can reveal a lot of bitterness and helplessness when savored carefully, also reveal the unspeakable secrets of many people.

Although "Yanjing Love Story" has achieved good ratings, what is less known is that before the show was launched, the TV station was actually not at ease.

Shen Huan from Jiangsu Satellite TV's promotion department said that arranging the show to be broadcast during prime time was "a relatively bold move."

She explained that Jiangsu Satellite TV's traditional audience is middle-aged and elderly viewers over 40 years old, but this TV series mainly targets young viewers between 20 and 30 years old.

"If we follow past rules, we will never air a youth drama in prime time as a new year drama."

"The reason we chose to broadcast the drama "Yanjing Love Story" this time was mainly because of the high ratings of "The Age of Naked Marriage" starring Chu Hui, which gave us confidence in this drama."

"If Chu Hui hadn't starred in it, we might not have chosen to broadcast the drama "Yanjing Love Story" during prime time, because he is not only popular with young audiences, but also with middle-aged and elderly audiences."

The various concerns on the TV station reflect from one aspect the objective fact that the current TV audience is older.

Under the influence of such factors, youth-themed TV dramas targeting young audiences have been in a slump for a long time, both in terms of creation and broadcast.

"Looking at the entire film and television industry, there are only a few creative teams that focus on youth dramas." An industry insider said that youth-themed TV dramas set in contemporary cities are almost a "rare breed."

February 7, noon.

Chu Hui Studio.

Chu Hui had just finished interviewing several actors for the play "Snow Leopard" and was about to go to dinner when he received a call from Ma Yili.

After the call was connected, Ma Yili asked with a smile: "Director Chu, where are you so cool?"

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "How can it be so good? I am still in the company and I am very busy. I have just finished interviewing several actors."

"I haven't had lunch yet..."

After a few pleasantries, Ma Yili asked with a smile: "Looking at how busy you are, Director Chu, you probably won't have time to meet me tonight, right?"

When Chu Hui heard this, he knew that what Ma Yili said was ironic, and hurriedly said: "Commander Ma, if you say a word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation! How can I not have time to meet you?"
