China Entertainment 1997

Around 7 a.m. the next morning, Cao Xuan woke up first, put on his clothes carefully, then opened the door and left the house.

"Hey, good morning."

At this time, the sky was only slightly bright and the moon had not set. Different from the several regular guests who were still sleeping soundly, many staff members of the program team were already preparing for today's shooting.

The director's face was red from the cold, and he drank hot water from a thermos cup to keep warm. There were also several little girls, three layers inside and three outside, all wrapped up like rice dumplings.

"Why don't you warm up first? They won't get up anyway."

Cao Xuan is quite considerate of his subordinates. The temperature in Miyun in January is not low. The coldest time period from early morning to sunrise is nearly minus 10 degrees Celsius.

"It's okay. Breakfast will be brought right away. Just finish it. What are you..."

The program team had its own work arrangements and could not change them at will. The director changed the subject and then asked about Cao Xuan's purpose.

Cao Xuan didn't insist. After doing too much management work, you know that you can't interfere in many things blindly. Otherwise, if you think you are doing something good for the people below, you may actually do bad things with good intentions.

If you really want to manage something, you have to investigate clearly in advance, know the inside story, weigh the pros and cons, and then prescribe the right medicine.

Seeing that the staff didn't have much grievances, Cao Xuan didn't worry too much and just moved his body.

"I usually do some exercise when I get up in the morning, such as running or something. Do you want to film it?"

"Shoot, definitely shoot."

The director pointed at Cao Xuan's camera to attract ratings, and immediately called a director and photographer.

Cao Xuan glanced at the slightly fatter figures of the two of them and reminded them tactfully: "Why don't you follow a car."

"No, I have good physical strength. I can go up mountains and down rivers without any problem."

The photographer was very confident. Cao Xuan didn't say much when he saw this. He stepped out of the yard and started stretching seriously at the intersection.

After warming up, Cao Xuan greeted the director and photographer and started running.

As soon as they ran, the photographer and director knew what Cao Xuan meant by asking him to follow the car just now.

Cao Xuan has been exercising for many years and has excellent physical fitness. He also runs regularly. His running speed is much faster than ordinary people's jogging, and he always runs at a constant speed in most stages. Those who are not strong enough will be quickly thrown away.

The photographer himself is a bit fat, and he was still carrying the machine. He could barely keep up for the first 1000 meters, but after 1000 meters he couldn't keep up. By about 1500 meters, the gap with Cao Xuan was obvious.

Seeing Cao Xuan's figure in the camera running further and further away, the exhausted photographer didn't even bother to slap him in the face, and pulled the director who was also panting.

"Huh...huh...call...call...call a car, cough cough."

Just as the director was about to pick up the phone, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound above his head. When he looked up, he saw it was a drone with the program team's logo on it.

The drone stopped in front of them, circled playfully twice, and recorded many close-up shots of the two of them panting from exhaustion. Then it took off and quickly caught up with Cao Xuan, flying above him to follow him.

"Come on, no... no need to call, just sit and wait for the bus."

As soon as the director saw this posture, he knew that the program team was aware of the situation and support was expected to arrive soon, so he simply sat down on the ground.

Cao Xuan ran for more than half an hour in total. The distance was not easy to calculate, about 4 to 5 kilometers. Later, the director rode an electric bicycle and took the photographer to follow him.

Although there was some cold wind in the morning, the air quality was good and Cao Xuan felt comfortable after finishing the run.

It was not easy to take a bath in the Mushroom House. Since I was going to leave in the afternoon anyway, Cao Xuan got some water and wiped himself.

After taking good care of his personal hygiene, Cao Xuan simply boiled water in the stove outside and roasted a few sweet potatoes for breakfast.

While he was busy working, Teacher Dahua and Teacher Huang were still sleeping soundly. Teacher He got up to go to the toilet and was startled when he saw Cao Xuan.

"Why are you up?"

"Well, I rarely sleep in when I'm not filming. I'm used to getting up early to exercise. I saw you guys sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you."

Teacher He was a little embarrassed and did not go back to sleep. He got dressed directly and woke up the other two at the same time.

Seeing that everyone was getting up, Cao Xuan simply went into the back room to light a fire and cook with Huang Sanshi.

"You are so diligent. There were so many people here before, but it seems that only Dong Zijian can compare with you."

"Who? Zijian, when did he come?"

Dong Zijian and Cao Xuan naturally knew each other. Strictly speaking, Sister Hua's son was considered a Fanxing artist, but he was signed under the Guolan banner.

Different from ordinary artists, Dong Zijian has a good mother, and he is one of the few newcomers like Fanxing who can talk to Cao Xuan.

"It was just the day before you came. You didn't stay too long. This kid has a lot of work in his eyes. He hasn't been idle since he came. He is very diligent."

"Zijian is good. He doesn't talk much, but he is very stable. He is rare among his peers."

Cao Xuan gave a relatively high evaluation. In fact, an introverted person like Dong Zijian is not as easy to impress others as an outgoing person like Dahua.

However, Dahua's character has advantages and disadvantages. Some people like it, and some people find it annoying. Dong Zijian's character is still relatively likable in China, and even if he doesn't like it, there is little resentment.

After praising Dong Zijian, Cao Xuan shook off the dough he had just cut and made no secret of his intentions.

"Actually, I'm not that diligent at home. I mainly attend shows and perform well to avoid being scolded."

"..."

Teacher He laughed. Cao Xuan was not ashamed, but proud: "This is a scheming Mr."

"Isn't he a scheming boy?"

"Put it down, I'm already over forty and I can't be young any more."

After chatting and laughing, we made breakfast, which was very simple, including noodles. The noodles were made by Cao Xuan, and the marinade was made by Huang Sanshi. Tomato eggs + green pepper shredded pork + old Beijing salty marinade.

After breakfast, it was almost 10 o'clock, and a few people were lying under the eaves to bask in the sun. Cao Xuan couldn't help but complain.

"When I watched your show, I thought I had to go to the fields. But when I arrived, I just ate and it was time to leave in a daze."

"Who said that? Didn't you chop wood? Save some and it will be enough for us to film the entire season."

Farm work may be arranged in the summer, but there really isn't much farm work in the winter, and the snow on the mountains has melted a bit. Ice sports like the first two episodes are not available, and the program team is too clever to make a living without rice.

In addition to cutting firewood, they originally planned to let Cao Xuan go to the market with them, but when they saw the crowd of people asking for photos in the village, they were afraid of causing a disturbance and had to give up for the sake of safety.

So after breakfast, the few of us could only lie down and bask in the sun, chatting from time to time, which was quite comfortable.

When I was bored, I heard a call. Teacher He went to answer it and came out with a smile not long after.

"We have a new guest, a girl."

"girl."

Dahua was very excited when he heard that a girl was coming. Teacher Huang was more concerned about what dish he ordered and was relieved knowing that it was not difficult to make. Cao Xuan was curious about who was coming.

Due to Fanxing's intervention in "Longing for Life", the guests did not change. In addition, Cao Xuan himself had one more episode, so he didn't know who was coming.

"It sounds familiar, but I'm not sure."

"We'll see."

The person who called me came faster than Cao Xuan originally, and appeared in front of everyone with his suitcase in less than an hour.

Zhao Xiaodao!

Teacher He was surprised and came forward to say hello. Huang Sanshi was not familiar with her, but he also showed his enthusiasm. On the contrary, Da Hua was more reserved.

This guy watches other people's releases. If he finds a female artist who is not well-known, he will easily make fun of them and get along with them.

If you find out that she is a popular actress, you will test her out first and get a rough idea of ​​her personality before deciding how to get along with her.

No one is really stupid in the entertainment industry. Dahua may seem silly, but he has his own reasons for every move he makes, otherwise he would not be so comfortable with Cao Xuan.

There are many fans and fans, but those who are good at flattering need to pay attention to their skills...

"Liying is here, have you eaten?"

Among the few people, the one who was most familiar with Zhao Xiaodao was Cao Xuan. The other party obviously knew that he was here, and he treated him respectfully when getting close.

"I haven't eaten yet. I just flew over from Magic City and came directly to our mushroom house."

"Then I'll make something for you."

Huang Sanshi didn't mind the trouble at all. He pulled up his sleeves and went to work. He found that the soy sauce was gone and he needed bean paste and some other ingredients for cooking at noon.

Asking the program team for a request, the program team deliberately made trouble and used the excuse that they had released a lot of money yesterday and raised the price very high. This forced Teacher He to decide to go to the small supermarket at the entrance of the village to find a solution.

To put it bluntly, the program team is a complete work.

He can't go to the market, but letting Cao Xuan go shopping at the canteen is also a highlight. He can't stay home and bask in the sun all the time.

Teacher He and others also know very well that under normal circumstances they should negotiate with the program team to negotiate the price, but now they actually offer to go to the canteen, which is obviously fishy.

Except for the cook Huang Sanshi, the others, together with the newly arrived Zhao Xiaodao, all went out to kill the canteen.

The name of the canteen is [Convenience Supermarket]. It is a typical village shop with a small area and sells a variety of goods.

The proprietress is a young woman in her early thirties. She has never taken her eyes off Cao Xuan since he walked in. Her eyes are so darting that they are literally shining.

Several people picked the necessities, and then Dahua suddenly became childish and fell in love with some novel toys. Zhao Xiaodao also picked some snacks, and even Teacher He bought some cooked food that he wanted to eat.

Once the bill was settled, the remaining funds of Mushroom House were indeed insufficient.

Cao Xuan: "..."

This is the routine that goes back and forth, using "financial distress" to make things difficult for celebrities and create gimmicks.

“You don’t have cash, don’t you know how to use WeChat and Alipay?”

Cao Xuan once again couldn't restrain his desire to complain. Even if their mobile phones were provided by the program team, they could still download the software. They just had to delete the software afterwards. If that didn't work, they would take the mobile phones away.

So, he took out his mobile phone, downloaded the payment software, and made sure that he could scan the code. Boss Cao waved his hand: "I'm treating you. Buy whatever you want."

The program team was a little dazed. The normal process involves celebrities swiping their faces or hiding some cash. Cao Xuan's operation was somewhat beyond their expectations.

This method is simple, but most celebrities don’t use it. Firstly, it’s troublesome to install and uninstall software, and secondly, they are afraid that the software is unsafe.

In comparison, swiping your face directly is easier and more interesting.

But Cao Xuan doesn't have such worries. He doesn't mind the trouble and dares to cause trouble from him. He can ask the hacker alliance to destroy Ya.

Backed by two major Internet companies, Box Games and Penguin, the security level of Cao Xuan's related software is unimaginable for ordinary people.

"No need to pay, I'll pay."

Cao Xuan gave him money, but the landlady refused to accept it, saying that Cao Xuan came here rarely and she didn't want the money.

"That won't work. It's not easy for you to make money."

Cao Xuan chatted with the proprietress for a while, saw the opportunity, scanned the code, and didn't know the price, so he simply handed over 1,000 yuan.

"It's too much, two or three hundred is enough."

"If it's too much, just keep it in the account. Teacher He and the others will come over later and deduct it from here."

The landlady couldn't compete with him, so she had to give up, and then tugged at the corner of her clothes a little shyly.

"Can we take a photo together? I was not at home yesterday and didn't meet you. When I was a child, I particularly liked your role as Jin Yanxi. You are my male idol."

"Haha, thanks to your love, it's okay to take a photo."

Although this sentence made Cao Xuan a little hurt when he was a child, he still satisfied the boss lady and refused to let him take a photo with her alone. He also called several other people over to take a photo together.

Returning to the Mushroom House, Huang Sanshi also made a meal, and Zhao Xiaodao started eating. Everyone also had a new topic surrounding her as a newcomer.

"The first time I saw Liying was in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III". They came to "Happy Camp" to do a show. At that time, Mimi told us that Liying would definitely become popular in five years. As a result, it became popular in five years. Not even."

Zhao Xiaodao has developed extremely well in the past two years. He has focused on the small screen and has released many works in succession with outstanding results. Among them, "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "Do You Know Should Be Green, Fat, Red, and Thin" were huge hits and topped the charts in the same period.

At the end of last year, Zhao Xiaodao and Qin Hao teamed up to try a reality suspense web drama "Silent City" adapted from a web text. It scored 8.4 on Time.com and has an excellent reputation.

It can be said that with Xianmi and Xianmi focusing most of their energy on movies, Zhao Xiaodao is the new queen of the small screen in recent years.

With Damimi withdrawing from Fanxing and Liu Tianxian, the first sister of the Buddhist family, she is now the real flag bearer among the female artists of Fanxing.

Even some radicals added the word "shadow" after Xianmi, which shows that Zhao Xiaodao is now gaining momentum.

Teacher He thought about the bun-faced girl he met for the first time. No matter how bold he was, he never imagined that she would reach where she is today.

"Liying has been very careful in its career planning in the past two years. It has not rushed to hit movies, but has taken root in the small screen and constantly consolidated its basic base. Last year's "Silent City" performed very well."

As the boss, Cao Xuan analyzed Zhao Xiaodao's career development: "The current situation in the film industry is complicated and the situation is hot. If you can stand firm on the small screen and accumulate strength, you can advance and defend in the future."

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Xiaodao with a pity: "You are less lucky than Yang Mi and Yifei. You didn't catch the good time to break into the film industry, but fortunately you are steady enough. You may not be able to accumulate accumulated experience in the future and catch up from behind."

Cao Xuan really felt that Zhao Xiaodao was a bit unlucky.

Previously, Fanxing's film resources were concentrated on Xianmi, and she, the third sister, did not get many good resources.

Finally, Yang Mi left, and it was her turn to take the lead. Now she is busy transitioning to the small screen and can't get away for the time being.

But when she finds time, she may not have enough time, just in time for the film and television winter, and the day of hitting the big screen will have to be postponed.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. As Cao Xuan said, Zhao Xiaodao is now much more stable in the original time and space. He is currently killing wildly on the small screen, and his momentum is not the same as that of Xianmi. After a few more years of saving, he may be able to win.

At that time, she switched to movies. With her huge popularity and national base, and the strong support of many stars, "a late bloomer" was by no means an empty word by Cao Xuan to comfort her.

"I actually like filming TV series, and fans also like to watch them."

Zhao Xiaodao herself has a relatively peaceful mind. If she had been anxious, she would have gone to the film industry long ago. Once Damimi left and her status among the stars soared, she would be even more stable.

She is not as ambitious as Da Mimi, and has no thoughts of leaving Fanxing for the time being.

Compared to Damimi, who is now focused on making money, Zhao Xiaodao now cares more about the title of "The First Sister of Fanxing".

Damimi failed to compete with Liu Tianxian, and she was unfortunately "out". If she could take the title of First Sister, wouldn't she have defeated Xianmi at the same time, and who would be the first person among the 85 flowers instead of her?

As the two mountains that have been weighing on their heads for nearly ten years, Xianmi and the others have no idea what they mean to these 85 flowers, and they can be called inner demons.

Just like countless Chinese singers want to defeat Cao Xuan, stepping on the fairy honey is the long-cherished wish of all 85 flowers.

Even some of Xianmi’s “good girlfriends” are no exception...
