China Entertainment 1997

June 1st, Children’s Day

Today is Xiao Cao Li’s fourth birthday, and it’s the kindergarten holiday. The child is clamoring for KFC.

Cao Xuan didn't know why children still liked to eat this stuff when they had everything at home.

Maybe she was influenced by other classmates in the kindergarten. Anyway, she thinks KFC and other fast food are the most delicious, so she always asks her family to buy them for her.

However, Zeng Li disliked this food as unhealthy, so he did not allow his children to eat more. He only bought it once in a while as a reward.

The less you can get, the more you cherish it. Perhaps because of this, Cao Li has no interest in the delicacies and brand-name foods at home. She only likes the fast food and snacks that are strictly prohibited by her mother, and even secretly takes nutritious food carefully prepared by the chef. Exchange meals for spicy strips with classmates.

Cao Xuan sometimes heard Sun Lan say that the kindergarten teacher praised his daughter for being smart, but he didn't know whether the teacher was telling the truth or being sarcastic...

However, it was rare to celebrate a holiday and a birthday, so Cao Xuan fulfilled his daughter's wish and drove to KFC not far away.

The waiter looked surprised when he saw Cao Xuan wearing a mask, but Cao Xuan didn't care about anything else. He took out a note with what his daughter wanted to eat and started ordering.

"One order of French fries, two orders of Colonel's chicken nuggets, Mexican chicken tacos, sweet corn sticks..."

The child was very greedy and ordered all the food she liked, regardless of whether she could eat it. Cao Xuan let her go. After all, it was her birthday and there were so many people that it wouldn't be a waste.

In the end, I got a whole big bag. Cao Xuan paid and carried it away. Unfortunately today was Wednesday, otherwise it would have been cheaper.

"Sir, you are Cao..."

"Shhh."

Cao Xuan put his finger to his lips. The waiter understood, but still eagerly took out a pen and paper from the bar. Cao Xuan smiled, took the pen, signed his name, and waved away.

Not to mention how the waiter jumped up and down excitedly after he left, and then showed off to his colleagues.

Cao Xuan put away the fast food and went to a private high-end dessert shop in the capital to pick up the ordered birthday cake.

When he got home, Cao Li cheered happily when he saw the KFC and birthday cakes. Even the fat little Cao Yang sitting in the crib happily clapped along with his sister.

He was born at the end of last year and is now exactly half a year old. He is white and fat, like a lucky doll.

Hu Jing didn't know where she got the information from, and she insisted on having a double happiness, celebrating Cao Li's birthday and some kind of meat-opening ceremony for Cao Yang at the same time.

Cao Xuan knew about the three-month bath, the full moon, and the Zhouzhu. This was the first time he heard that there were any meat-opening rituals for children who were half a year old.

"Fancy!"

However, no one paid attention to his complaints. Even the person involved, Xiao Cao Li, watched curiously as the second mother played with his younger brother.

Hu Jing and the nanny brought a table of food, and then let little Cao Yang sit in the baby chair. The family gathered to watch. Cao Xuan complained, but when he saw this scene, he hurried back to the house to find a camera and start recording.

Cao Yang, who had become the center of attention in the room, had no idea what he was about to face. He was drooling and looking left and right with his head swaying.

Hu Jing ignored him, picked up a green onion, brought it to Cao Yang's mouth, and muttered something.

"This Xiaoqiong is so smart."

Cao Yang looked at the scallion that was brought to his mouth. He opened his mouth instinctively, but couldn't touch it at all. Then Hu Jing replaced it with a piece of garlic.

"Eat a small piece of garlic and you can pinch it and do math."

Cao Yang instinctively opened his mouth again, and then saw that the garlic that was brought to his mouth was put back by his mother, took an egg, and repeated the action just now.

"Eat an egg and you can pinch it and do math."

Cao Yang opened his mouth again, but still didn't touch it. Hu Jing muttered, "Eat some green vegetables, feel free," and shook her son again.

Cao Yang was anxious, and his little fleshy hands kept beating, but it was useless. He was tired of opening his mouth, and he didn't take a bite. There was big doubt in his little eyes.

What made him even more confused was that after his mother teased him, he didn't touch her once, but then he watched other people feast in front of him.

Cao Xuan, a father, couldn't help but feel sorry for his son, and then asked his daughter to feed him a bite of KFC's spicy chicken wings.

Not to mention, if I eat it once in a while, it tastes pretty good.

After eating, they cut the birthday cake and threw Cao Yang, who was full of anger, to the nanny. Cao Xuan and Dongxi Ergong took little Cao Li to the amusement park.

This amusement park called "Colorful Tower" is located in Fengtai. It was invested and built by a Xiangjiang company at the end of 2009.

If a knowledgeable person conducts several share penetrations, they will find that the legal person behind it is named Zeng. She is a retired middle-aged woman in Jingzhou. She has a daughter who is the famous movie star Zeng Li.

That's right, considering that it is sometimes inconvenient for his family to go to an amusement park with his children, Cao Xuan invested in building one himself.

Children can participate in whatever activities they like, and come and play whenever they want. If it is not convenient, you can also book the venue.

Children's Day is supposed to be the busiest time for major amusement parks, but the Colorful Tower is closed to the public due to repairs.

It was the same last year, and it will be the same this year. In the future, unless the two children get tired of playing, they will have daily malfunctions for at least several years...

The child didn't have much to think about. When he saw the amusement park, he took his parents to play and kept playing until he was tired. Cao Xuan then let Cao Xuan carry him back to the car and go home.

"Li Li is very happy today. He told me just now that he hasn't played with his parents for a long time."

Hu Jing was a little bit sad. She was born in the Cao family and lacked everything. The only exception was that she couldn't play in public like others, and she even had to avoid many things.

For example, on birthdays, many of Cao Li's classmates would invite their classmates to their homes to celebrate their birthdays, but the family could only decline Cao Li's proposal on the grounds that everyone was celebrating Children's Day.

Otherwise, it would be outrageous for the parents not to show up to celebrate their daughter's birthday, but if Cao Xuan appears, other parents may go crazy...

"She's already happy."

Zeng Li didn't have many other emotions. To be honest, compared to other ordinary children, little Cao Li's life was simply paradise.

Nothing is perfect in the world, and it would be too pretentious to dwell on it.

However, as parents, we still want our children to be perfect, so Cao Xuan suggested.

"When she gets older, she can try to go out and play. At the worst, she can invite more friends to provide cover."

Since Hu Jing was suspected of being pregnant and giving birth to a child, Cao Xuan has evolved to the point where a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Even if something is really photographed, he doesn't care.

He already has a golden body, and he doesn't rely on his girlfriend's fans to make a living. Apart from being in the headlines and being discussed by people who like to eat, it doesn't hurt him at all.

On the contrary, Zeng Li has always been on guard, not because he is afraid of delaying Cao Xuan or himself, but because he does not want his daughter to be exposed to the public. At least he hopes that his normal life will not be disturbed until he reaches adulthood.

After chatting about their children for a while, Hu Jing mentioned that she was planning to resume work in the near future and return to work at Fanxing.

Around the summer vacation last year, Hu Jing officially took a sick leave. She originally planned to go back after giving birth, but she was worried about Cao Yang being too young.

Hu Jing waited until her child was six months old, spent the first half of the lactation period, took a year off, and successfully lost weight. Hu Jing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Cao Xuan understood her mood very well. Zeng Li was similar to her at that time and also had to go to work.

I don’t really like working. The main reason is that I have been frustrated at home for a long time and I want to find something to do. I don’t want to become a full-time nanny.

"I'll say hello to the company, go back and review it, and pick a time to return to work."

After one year of medical leave, the company still retained the position of vice president for Hu Jing, but she was basically equivalent to a bare commander with no real power.

But this is okay, Cao Yang is still young after all, and Hu Jing has to focus a lot of her energy on her children. She is not in a hurry with her work. She will slowly gain power after her children are a little older.

Li Yan, the president of Fanxing Group, expressed his intention to leave this year to Cao Xuan, as if he wanted to return to his hometown to start a business.

Cao Xuan spent some words to retain the person. Although Li Yan was not outstanding in ability, he was a qualified housekeeper who managed the internal management of such a large group in a stable and orderly manner.

If Li Yan leaves, Cao Xuan really doesn't know where to find such a prestigious and good management CEO of Fanxing.

However, forcing him to stay was not a long-term solution after all. Li Yan returned home to start a business, largely for the sake of his elderly parents. As his parents got older, Cao Xuan could not stay for more than a few years.

Therefore, Cao Xuan intends to look for some more management talents, or simply put his own people in charge.

Among them, Hu Jing is his favorite candidate.

In terms of qualifications, Hu Jing is considered a veteran and has been the vice president for several years. There are really few people in the company who are more confident than she is in taking the position.

In terms of ability, Hu Jing has done well in recent years, and her supervisory work is impressive.

In terms of loyalty, his wife is Cao Xuan's best confidant in the company.

More importantly, although the president of Fanxing Group is the boss on the surface, he is actually more responsible for logistics and administrative management. The senior leaders in related business are responsible for their respective tasks, and Cao Xuan is always in charge.

Therefore, this first-in-command actually does the work of the second-in-command. He is more concerned about prestige and status, and does not have a serious need for ability.

Moreover, Hu Jing was previously responsible for supervision and was extremely familiar with all departments and branches of the company, which gave her a great advantage in taking over the position of president.

Of course, Hu Jing is the boss's wife after all, and her promotion may cause some executives to think that Cao Xuan is nepotistic.

But the key is that no one else will accept whoever takes the top position among the other senior executives.

For example, although Jiang Yue is in charge of the artist management business and is a veteran of the company, the proportion of her business is obviously inferior to that of film and television, theaters, variety shows and other businesses.

There is also Ding Ying. Although he is in charge of the film and television business, which is the company's most profitable department, his qualifications are not as good as Jiang Yue's, and his business proportion does not exceed that of variety shows and theaters.

If any one of them wins, it may cause strong dissatisfaction among others, and even lead to open conflicts and conflicts.

In this way, instead of letting a few executives fight to death, it would be better to directly let Hu Jing, who has a transcendent status, be the boss's wife, so that their resistance will not be so strong.

However, Cao Xuan did not discuss this idea with Hu Jing for the time being. Firstly, he was afraid that she would be under great pressure, and secondly, the matter had not yet been finalized.

If Li Yan doesn't leave, or if he finds a suitable outsider to parachute in as CEO, the Empress of the East Palace will be excited for nothing, so she'll wait until some of the facts are confirmed before talking.

Zeng Li is already a serious associate professor of Chinese opera, and Hu Jing has become the female president of Qianyi Group.

Official Cao suddenly felt that his reputation as a scumbag had become much more glorious...

………

On June 2, Cao Xuan, whose fatherly love still existed, took his daughter to kindergarten by car, and then went to a five-star cinema in Fanxing with Zeng Li.

Fanxing's new movie "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" officially premieres today.

This movie is Fanxing's first summer release this year. Cao Xuan happened to be free and came over to help out, while Zeng Li was invited by the good student Liu Tianxian to attend the premiere ceremony.

While walking on the red carpet, Cao Xuan saw Liu Tianxian, wearing a white dress and looking bright.

Today is undoubtedly Liu Tianxian's home court.

Liu Tianxian has participated in several movies before, Cao Xuan was in the C position in "Hurricane Rescue", the ensemble drama in "House of Flying Daggers" has many big names, "Three Kingdoms: Guandu" is similar to "House of Flying Daggers", Liu Tianxian is only one of the leading actors. one.

As for "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", the male lead Chen Yao may have more roles in the film, but it is definitely Liu Tianxian.

Let me talk about it here. In the entertainment industry, many people understand the number of roles an actor plays in a drama. They think whoever has more roles is the star of the drama.

This understanding is actually not completely wrong, most of the crew is like this.

But this explanation alone is not comprehensive. Strictly speaking, Ichiban refers to the core of the entire drama, usually the male and female protagonists, and supports the whole process of publicity and is responsible for the success and failure of the drama.

To put it bluntly, the audience is looking for the actor, who is the best in this drama.

For example, in "The Wandering Earth" of the original time and space, from the perspective of the scenes, the young brother and sister are the real male and female protagonists. However, whether it is to carry publicity or box office appeal, Wu Jing, who is a "guest star", is more in line with [Ichiban] position.

On the crew of "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", Chen Yao was almost a complete newcomer at this time, and 95% of the actors who came to see the movie were attracted by Liu Tianxian.

Apart from the adaptation of Cao Xuan's songs and the director Chen Hanzhu, basically 80% of the external promotional materials for this film are centered around Liu Tianxian.

So no matter from any angle, this can be said to be Liu Tianxian's movie, and the premiere is naturally her home venue.

Liu Tianxian also rarely changed from his normal routine and invited many acquaintances in the industry to come and help him.

I met my best friend Shu Chang from "Tian Long Ba Bu", my childhood friend Yao Beina, Xi Gong Qun Xian, several familiar star artists, and other classmates from the Chinese Opera Class 02.

Liu Tianxian has been in the industry for so many years, and his social circle has always been very fixed. Except for a few friends outside the circle, they are basically made up of Fanxing, old classmates and people he knows from filming.

Most people's friendships have continued, such as Shu Chang, Lan Xi, Zhang Li and other best friends, but some have also gone their separate ways.

For example, Liu Xian's wife in "Dragon Movie", the two had a good relationship at first, and they became the best best friends for a time.

But when Liu Xian's wife got married in 2006 and gradually faded out of the circle, the two parties interacted less and less, and the relationship faded.

There is also a good bestie of Liu Tianxian, who many people may not expect is Da Mimi.

When filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Da Mimi was still a newcomer, and the confrontation between the East and West parties was still brewing. The two people, who were similar in age at the time, had a relatively short honeymoon period.

To this day, if you can find blogs or news from that year, you can still see the two girls playing around, taking pictures with their faces close to each other, or holding hands and being interviewed together.

Unfortunately, time has passed and the two have long become enemies. Liu Tianxian didn't even send an invitation.

Even if she sends it, Damimi won’t come over.

On the one hand, she doesn't want to sell her face, but on the other hand, her new movie "The God of Wealth Inn" will be released in two days, and she is busy promoting it.

It is worth mentioning that "The Inn of the God of Wealth" and "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" are likely to form a rivalry between the same films.

Many media have begun to campaign for the third Fairy Honey War.

But fans on both sides are more restrained because neither is optimistic about the performance of their own movies.

Although "The God of Wealth Inn" has a good lineup, it is difficult for this kind of nonsensical comedy in Hong Kong to be particularly successful at the box office. In the past two years, its results have basically fluctuated around tens of millions, and rarely exceeded 100 million.

For example, "The Amazing Heroes" at the beginning of the year was also a comedy with a similar theme and took in 50 million at the box office.

Not to mention "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", a youth romance film, the only actor who is good at it is Liu Tianxian, and external box office estimates don't even reach 50 million.

Because of this, both parties were afraid of being slapped in the face, so they did not dare to shout easily.

Fans of Damimi would like to compare it to "Now You See Me", but Tianxian fans are not stupid, so naturally they are unwilling to accept the offer.

Fans of both companies are currently staring at the handicap, wanting to see how the movie performs. If it gains momentum, it will definitely become rampant. If it fails, then [take away Mimi/Sissi, we won’t date] .

Both companies are already very familiar with this kind of operation.

At the beginning of the year, two of Damimi's movies were released. "Wulin Gaiden" had a box office of over 200 million, and "Laughing in the River" had a box office of 150 million. It can be said that there are good news frequently.

Liu Tianxian's fans automatically entered pretend-death mode.

In the first half of the year, Liu Tianxian made a lot of achievements in the fashion field, winning several covers one after another.

The second part of "Three Kingdoms: Guandu", released in May, although the reputation is still poor, the box office will also exceed 300 million, which is not bad in Japan.

So it was the turn of Da Mimi’s fans to pretend to be quail.

Therefore, the two groups have long learned how to taunt each other when they have the upper hand, and become invisible when they are at a disadvantage. If there is a possibility of a head-on conflict, they usually stay on the safe side first and wait until the situation becomes clear.

Not only the two fans, but also Liu Tianxian and Damimi themselves have this tendency.

I have the upper hand, my Weibo is popular, and I go out for activities every day, which is like having a spring breeze on my face.

If you fall into a trough, you will reduce your appearance and post less on Weibo to prevent enemies from coming to the comment area to cause trouble.

In the previous two large-scale fairy honey battles, the two of them won one game each and barely maintained a tie.

Now no one dares to easily start the third war, otherwise if they lose, the balance will not be stable, so now it is more about a long-term confrontation, you come and I go, and compare the career achievements of each year, try to Avoid direct conflict.

As a result, a very interesting situation was formed. The outside world was crazy about the situation, and everyone was holding the bench and waiting to eat.

The two parties involved and the two fans were very cautious, taking turns taunting each other, and their words flew into the air, but they refused to start a life-or-death fight...

At the premiere of "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", some reporters secretly poked and provoked trouble, but Liu Tianxian refused to pick up the fight.

"We have no intention of competing with other movies at the box office. We just need to be ourselves."

Fans of Tianxian also said that the media has sinister intentions. Youth themes are inherently unpopular, so how can they be compared with those commercial movies.

They don't care about the box office, as long as they can watch Sissi make a movie.

However, within a week, Liu Tianxian and his fans regretted that they had said too much and could not go back to make amends.

Because of "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years"——

The box office was a blast!
