The time soon came to the eve of the recording of the variety show.
Zhao Yao brought Uncle Wang and two bodyguards with him when he went to City H this time. The program team had their own homestay in the countryside for recording programs, but it was impossible for Zhao Yao to live with the guests who recorded the program, so the program team arranged for him The environmental conditions of the nearby homestays are at full value.
After arriving at the place, the director hurried over to greet him.
The director of "Leisure" is a middle-aged man with a strong body and a very enthusiastic personality. The bodyguard over there moved Zhao Yao and Uncle Wang's luggage into the B&B, and the director warmly invited Zhao Yao to drink tea at the place where the director team lived next to Zhao Yao, "Mr. Zhao, I have long admired your name."
Zhao Yao smelled the tea, the local tea smell is very special, "You are welcome, please tell me briefly about the current situation of the project."
The director also found out from other sources that this time Huihua sent people here to investigate the follow-up investment. Although he was the director hired by the project team, he chose to take over the project because he was fancy at the beginning. A lot of hard work has also been put in. If the investment is reduced, it means that it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect in the follow-up programs.
He tried his best to explain the overall details of the next project to Zhao Yao, but the latter simply nodded his head after listening.
After Zhao Yao heard this, he said that other things would be discussed tomorrow after watching the recording, and the director had to stop for a while, knowing that being too wordy might arouse Zhao's disgust. After Zhao Yao left, someone from the director team came up to ask about the situation, and the director said: "Well, now we can only see what Mr. Zhao thinks, this type of variety show is not very popular now, it's not that the guest group is not good, it's that Audience tastes vary too much."
After a while, the staff ran over, "Director, the guest's car has arrived at the gate of the village. Do we need to prepare for this recording in advance?"
"Record, let the camera crew prepare, and make up for the scene of entering the village." The director had no choice but to get up and go to work.
The official recording will be tomorrow, and Zhao Yao will go out with Uncle Wang after returning to the homestay.
He rarely came to this place in the countryside of City H, and the only impression he had was playing at his grandfather's place when he was a child. But the villages here are still a bit far from the places he used to go to. It can be said that one is in the south and the other is in the north. However, after entering the village, he heard a lot of dialects, which always made him feel a little close.
Uncle Wang is from City H, and I heard that he is the happiest person to come to the countryside here.
The two were walking on the road, and Uncle Wang was talking to him about the city H, "Speaking of which, the young master loved to pester his wife to go to the countryside every holiday when he was a child. Time to stay with you for a few days."
"Is there such a thing? I don't remember very clearly." Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, and he really couldn't remember clearly when he was a child, "I was only five or six years old at that time, right?"
"It's almost the same. At that time, the young master was still young. I still remember that the young master went to primary school. There were many things in the group during that time. Madam didn't have time to leave to accompany you to City H. The young master cried for a long time." Uncle said with nostalgia: "It is said that I have made an appointment with the children and we want to play together. But that period was a special period after all, and the security at the old house was also strengthened a lot, and their itineraries were also restricted, let alone Said to send you to City H."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Yao paused slightly, "Have I cried like this?"
Uncle Wang smiled: "The young master loved to cry when he was young, and there are many photos in the photo album at home. I will look for the young master when I go back."
Hearing what Uncle Wang said about these things, Zhao Yao had a vague impression, but he didn't really remember it at all. He has lived two lifetimes, there are enough things in his mind, and there are too many unpleasant things in his previous life. For him, it was almost thirty years ago when he was a child, so he has no time to recall those things.
The air in the countryside is very good. There are old houses with a sense of age everywhere, the telephone poles are not high, and clotheslines are pulled outside the yards of each household.
He walked casually, "It feels pretty good here."
The two walked near the entrance of the village unknowingly, and saw the director's team's car parked outside the village entrance, and the camera crew were already making preparations. Uncle Wang asked curiously, "Master, is this the recording site?"
Zhao Yao knows that the official recording will be tomorrow, and at this time it should be for the purpose of shooting some material, "It shouldn't be, at this point in time, the flying guests should come over, right?"
There are quite a few staff members near the director. Some people saw Zhao Yao and a middle-aged man standing on a high slope, so they reminded the director.
"Is that Mr. Zhao?"
"He is so far away from me, but I have a sense of urgency to be stared at by the leader."
"Didn't some netizens say that they had worked under Mr. Zhao's previous project team? Now rounding up, I have also worked under Mr. Zhao's project."
"I just took a peek at him. He is really handsome. He looks so white without makeup."
"Absolutely, this kind of handsome guy is actually an overbearing president. I thought that kind of overbearing president's novels were all lies!"
The director has a needle in his back, but he also directs other staff members to work. There are two flying guests in this episode, one is the director team invited Flow Xiaohua, and the other is a mysterious guest. The first person to come was Liu Xiaohua. This person was named Yang Mumu. She had acted as the heroine of several ancient puppet dramas and was very popular. After getting off the car, she took out the suitcase from the trunk, exuding a youthful atmosphere, "Wow, the air here is really good."
Behind the scenes of "Leisure" there will be some small tidbits of guests going to the village, and this section is to prepare for the tidbits. Uncle Wang saw the little girl at the bottom with sharp eyes, and then asked Zhao Yao: "Master, isn't this the heroine of the costume drama "My Stunning Lover" you watched earlier?"
Zhao Yao was a little surprised when he heard the words, he didn't recognize her in the modern outfit, after a closer look, he found that it was really that girl.
He had read some project materials, but he hadn't decided on the flying guest of this issue when he got the materials, and he didn't expect this girl to be there. The idol dramas that Yao Bai recommended to him were outdated, but many of the new dramas recommended by Xiao Ji were idol dramas played by Yang Mumu. He remembered that this girl did a good job in emotional dramas.
The director team sent staff to follow Zhao Yao, so Zhao Yao asked, "Does that girl have a new play to promote?"
The staff member said: "Yang Mumu? The TV series starring her and Bai Huan is about to air, and this time I'm here to promote it."
Uncle Wang suddenly realized, and asked privately, "What's your name?"
The staff was a little confused: "It seems to be called "Lovesick Tears"."
Why did the gold master's father care about this matter
Uncle Wang picked up the small notebook that he carried with him, and wrote down the title of the play, so that he can remind the young master to follow the show when it premieres.
The staff didn't dare to neglect the people around the boss, but they couldn't figure out what this investment had to do with the promotion of the new drama that invited guests? Does the gold master's father not like Yang Mumu
There seemed to be another car coming in the distance. Here, Yang Mumu had already entered the B&B ahead of time, and the director team zoomed out to focus on the new car. Zhao Yao stood a little further away, and the car was parked farther than Yang Mumu's car. Seeing a familiar figure, he turned his head and asked the staff: "Who is the guest behind?"
The staff heard the words and said: "Mr. Zhao, it's Pei Mingzhan."
Zhao Yao was taken aback, Pei Mingzhan
When did he accept this variety show
In addition to the staff of the director's team, there are also villagers who came to watch. Pei Mingzhan's itinerary this time is kept secret, and the program team's public release only said that there will be a mysterious guest in the new recording. Pei Mingzhan has acted in many TV dramas and movies, and has debuted for several years. His fans are of all ages. When some villagers here see that it is Pei Mingzhan, they ask around in surprise, isn’t this the actor who plays so-and-so
"Is my makeup smudged? I heard that Best Actor Pei is coming, so I got up early and put on some makeup."
"No flowers, no flowers, I really didn't expect that there would be a day when our small program group could invite the actor. The management is too awesome."
"Stop talking, I was shocked when I heard that Pei Mingzhan was coming. Didn't he fast-track?"
"It's true that I haven't accepted the event. I heard that in addition to the promotion of upcoming dramas in the itinerary for the past few months, it seems that we have a variety show schedule."
Pei Mingzhan just received a call from his manager Lao Ge in the car. This time, only his assistant Lele came to record with him. Lao Lao didn't come because of the studio. But along the way, there were many phone calls to explain this and that. At one time, I said to pay attention to the impact of words and deeds, and at another time, I said to reduce going out privately at night.
The two have worked together for many years, and these things have never been specifically explained, but this time the manager is like a frightened grasshopper, and he must explain what he has to explain. Before getting out of the car, Pei Mingzhan asked Lele: "Isn't this show a simple slow-running show?"
"Yeah..." Lele was also a little confused, that's what it said in the information.
But before he left, he was told by Brother Lao that he would follow his brother closely this time, and he had to follow him wherever he went, "Brother Lao is a bit inspiring, and it is a variety show. Brother Pei, you have recorded a lot of variety shows. Before Never explained it that way."
Pei Mingzhan felt that someone had a ghost in his heart, but it didn't matter, as he would know what the problem was at the scene.
The recording location is in the countryside of City H, which is a bit different from the suburban area where he lived when he was a child. The houses here are relatively old, and many characteristic old buildings are preserved. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the director's team at the shooting location near the entrance of the village, and there were still many people watching in the two places.
Is this recording started? Or do you want to shoot behind-the-scenes shots in advance
Pei Mingzhan glanced at the surroundings, and soon noticed the person standing on the slope directly in front of him, wearing loose light-colored casual clothes, looking straight at him.
Zhao Yao? Why is he here
Pei Mingzhan thought of Brother Lao's painstaking persuasion before he left, so he smiled a little, turned his head and said to Lele: "You don't need to listen to Brother Lao, I am the one who pays you."
Lele is still confused, what do you mean
When Zhao Yao saw Pei Mingzhan, he remembered the time when he went to the hotel with him some time ago. Some things were a bit unnatural in retrospect, and Pei Mingzhan was busy with work these days and the two didn't have much contact. He actually accepted Hui Hua's invitation to come to "Leisure".
In terms of Pei Mingzhan's worth, coming to this small variety show can be said to help the poor, and he has hardly participated in activities in the entertainment industry recently, and his work is all focused on his own company. Zhao Yao would choose to come here. of.
"Mr. Zhao, why don't you watch it from a different location?" The staff saw that Mr. Zhao was interested in these small clips recorded in advance, "Generally, variety shows will shoot some extras and keep them as a small theater and release them on the cooperation platform. Many audiences liked it, so the director made some recordings in the small theater of "Leisure" while he had time."
Zhao Yao saw a staff member below handing Pei Mingzhan a pocket mic. Obviously, this shoot mainly focused on the feeling of being on the variety show for the first time, and revealed some behind-the-scenes stories to the audience. The format of variety shows is different from TV dramas. It feels more casual and closer to life, but these things have behind-the-scenes requirements even if there is no script, so the story before filming is also what the audience is interested in.
Zhao Yao doesn't have much impression of "Leisurely", and it is because of Uncle Wang that he knew something about it in his previous life. However, "Leisurely", as a project with strong follow-up force, the audience group it has accumulated after word of mouth can not be ignored. On the one hand, it is a variety show The content is indeed made to be suitable for slow life. On the other hand, the program group releases materials in a relaxed way.
It's just that after coming for a while, the program group gave him a very different feeling. He has watched some links in the show, and it is indeed similar to the "Leisure" in his impression. If you look at the trajectory of the event, this project has always been under the name of Huihua Culture. Could it be that because the program's income is not ideal, Chen later put this Project transferred to another company
The staff stood beside Zhao Yao, and he saw Mr. Zhao's expression did not change. It was this expressionless face that made people feel more uneasy.
Isn't this a good way to record sideshows? President Zhao will not dislike the misuse of funds by their program group...
Several people stood for a while, and Pei Mingzhan had already been recorded entering the homestay.
The staff suddenly saw someone running over in a hurry. They looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Lele panted after running over, and after a break, said: "Mr. Zhao, brother Pei said that he will come to you after the recording."
"I'll talk about it after he's busy with the recording task." Zhao Yao said calmly, "How many days are you here for?"
Lele said: "The recording of the program will take three days, and Brother Pei will stay in City H for a few days after that. Does Mr. Zhao have any arrangements? I'll tell Brother Pei."
"H city?" Zhao Yao suddenly remembered that Pei Mingzhan is from H city, and he should go home when he comes here, "It's okay, let him work first."
"Is there anything else to do with the recording later?" Zhao Yao asked the staff.
The staff hurriedly said: "It will be fine after this recording, the official recording will be tomorrow."
-*
After Pei Mingzhan entered the B&B, he saw the resident MCs of "Leisurely". After a few people greeted politely, the program team recorded a few more shots, and the rest was to go upstairs to see the room.
"Brother Pei, the director said that he will add a shot of entering the door later, and maybe the feature film will be cut into it." The staff came over to talk to him about the content, "The main content is tomorrow, and the scene of moving in will be recorded today, and the feature film will be added tomorrow morning." recording."
Pei Mingzhan knew the arrangement of their program group, "Okay, just let me know in advance if there is something to do."
The staff breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden arrival of a big man like Actor Pei in their small temple made the entire program team treat it with great vigor. Besides Best Actor Pei, there is also Mr. Zhao watching from behind. The recording pressure of this issue is quite high.
Seeing that the director team was still adjusting the camera, Pei Mingzhan asked, "I just saw Mr. Zhao from Huihua. Is he your recording guest for this issue?"
"No." The staff explained: "Mr. Zhao is here to inspect, and will not participate in the recording of this issue."
It’s okay if Mr. Zhao comes to record. If there is some negative news on the broadcast, they can’t afford to go around. Although the editors of their program group don’t engage in show operations, the ability of netizens to discuss is not to be underestimated. , Finding faults in the eye of a needle often happens.
Mr. Zhao also has a lot of popularity on the Internet, but they can tell that Mr. Zhao's identity is not on the same level as ordinary Internet celebrities, and the pressure of public opinion in the follow-up is also different. In the past, some small fans came into the village to take sneak shots. But because Mr. Zhao came over, the bodyguards hired by the program team were guarding around the hotel early on.
"So that's how it is." Pei Mingzhan was stunned, no wonder Zhao Yao's name was not included in the guest list given to him by his manager, but with his fussy behavior, I am afraid that he should have known about Zhao Yao's coming to the scene in advance. Otherwise, it will not be repeated.
-*
Zhao Yao didn't go into the B&B to check the situation, and planned to wait for the recording of the feature film tomorrow. He took the overall process of this recording with the staff and knew that they would get up early tomorrow to go to the market to buy vegetables.
"There is a living market in the village, but it's quite far away." Uncle Wang also took a copy of the process to read, and he asked, "Master, do you want to eat rural food from H City? I will also go to the market tomorrow to buy some fresh ingredients."
Zhao Yao suddenly became a little interested. The rhythm of life here is different from that in the city. It seems that the whole person has slowed down when he came here, "I will go with you tomorrow to see, I haven't seen what the morning market is like. of."
Uncle Wang smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, let's go there together tomorrow morning."
The recent changes in Zhao Yao are obvious. Uncle Wang still remembers the impatience in his eyes when he opened his eyes when the young master got into a car accident a few months ago, and also remembers the tired look on his face when he came home from overtime late at night. There are empty beer cans on the table in the small living room, and documents in black and white are lying around, and the young master often calls his subordinates in a serious tone.
In the past, the young master would never waste time watching TV at home, he would even work overtime and stay up late to devote himself to work. For him, the happiest thing is that the project has achieved excellent results, but now the young master has reduced his working hours, and even chooses to let go of work problems and hand them over to capable subordinates, just like the entire project since the Qichen project. People change.
At the beginning, Uncle Wang was still a little uncomfortable, thinking that the young master had other plans because of problems within the group. But seeing his rhythm of life changing and paying more and more attention to his body, he realized that the young master had really changed his mind. This change is good, but the better it is, the more distressed he is.
It's because everyone has a competitive heart. In the Zhao family's environment, the young master knew at a young age that there would be no good future if he didn't fight.
Family property will not be left to those who are unprepared, and those who are eliminated will always be ridiculed by others. The more money and power, the more greedy they will be. But now the young master has changed, he started to live his own life instead of being immersed in endless work.
"Many young masters have already eaten the country dishes in H City, and the side dishes sent by Mr. Pei are the taste of this country." Uncle Wang carefully introduced Zhao Yao to the cooking methods in different places in H City. It was obviously just a few simple ingredients, but There are several ways to do it in H City.
Zhao Yao suddenly thought of Pei Mingzhan's method, "Are those Pei Mingzhan's methods made by my grandfather? I taste like my mother used to make them."
"That's right, the place we came to might taste better." Uncle Wang said.
Zhao Yao paused slightly, "That's right."
In the evening, the TV in the homestay was playing Zhao Yao’s new series. The guests from the program group next door had a small gathering. The director team had invited Zhao Yao, but Zhao Yao didn’t like that kind of scene very much, so he declined. I thought it was something I didn't do well, so I came to the door to apologize. Later, it was Uncle Wang who explained, and the director felt relieved and left.
"Master." Uncle Wang brought the regular warm water and pills, "I have to get up early tomorrow, so Master should go to bed early at night."
"Okay." Zhao Yao's sleep quality has improved recently. He thought it was slowly getting better, but it took a while for the medicine to take effect. Speaking of which, the night he slept the best recently was the night he went out with Pei Mingzhan. He thought that maybe he slept well because he was tired.
This is contrary to his previous situation. He belongs to the type that the more he works, the more energetic he is. However, the recent incidents on the live broadcast platform did not make him lose control of his work and rest. He also raised this issue with a psychiatrist, who asked him if anything else had happened during this time? It is said that the change of mentality in daily life will also affect the attitude of dealing with things, which may be related to this reason.
Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, and there was not much change, the only exception was Pei Mingzhan.
The matter of the live broadcast platform can be regarded as Pei Mingzhan's matchmaking, but Pei Mingzhan is very concerned about his working hours, and occasionally calls at night to say that the plan is late, Pei Mingzhan will always change the topic to reduce the topic of work, and occasionally talk Some things in the entertainment industry to relieve his boredom, after a while, he almost thought it was time to go to bed, and he was used to Pei Mingzhan's occasional phone call before going to bed.
Is this related to Pei Mingzhan
Zhao Yao couldn't figure it out.
Chen Xi sent a project status sheet for the new quarter, and Zhao Yao quickly read it. The return on investment was higher than the ideal value. He sent Chen Xi an [ok], then turned off VX and began to read Weibo.
On the other side, Chen Xi was just about to get off work, and when he saw Mr. Zhao's reply, he opened it excitedly. When he saw the [ok] expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked the secretary: "Our data this month is higher than last month, right?" ?”
The secretary knew which data he was talking about, so he said, "A few percentage points more."
Chen Xi looked at the content of the chat with a sad face, "Why does Mr. Zhao send this expression when his performance is average, but Mr. Zhao still has this expression when his performance improves." Doesn't Mr. Zhao have a little mood swings? For example, changing the emoticon package, or saying a few other words, which made him very disturbed.
-*
Mr. Zhao has no news about his itinerary recently, and the fans made a lot of emoticons with the dinner pictures they deducted from Actor Pei. The official blog of Huihua Culture has been harassed, and finally, with the permission of the leader, a Weibo of the work summary of Huihua Culture's quarterly meeting was posted. It is very formal and concise, except for Mr. Zhao in the accompanying picture—
[We've been urging you for so long, and you've finally made some progress!]
[Mr. Zhao who works hard is so handsome! Suit Mr. Zhao will always be my favorite!]
[You can ask the leader to add chicken legs, next time send more!]
[I didn’t expect that one day I would seriously read this work summary, which is less than a hundred words...]
[Thinking of Mr. Zhao's contribution in this work summary, fans of this business are very happy!]
The staff of Huihua's official blog looked at the gradually rising comments and likes with tears in their eyes, thinking that it would be better to post a work summary instead of three microblogs from other artists this day. This photo is still the weibo that he found out from dozens of photos to match Mr. Zhao's positive image.
There is a lot of entertainment here, because tomorrow we will be recording, and everyone just drinks some beer during dinner. The guests at the table saw that Pei Mingzhan left the table first, and asked the director team curiously: "I was shocked when I heard that Pei Mingzhan was invited, can all of them be invited? I heard that his studio has stopped accepting variety shows." .”
The director was also puzzled, but he still said boldly: "It's not because Huihua has face. I heard that Best Actor Pei has a good relationship with Huihua. This time he specially chose our show."
The resident guest Dai Ge asked curiously: "Why didn't Mr. Zhao come over tonight? I heard that Best Actor Pei has a good relationship with Mr. Zhao!"
"I saw them on the hot search a while ago." Another guest said, "Isn't the best actor Pei looking at Mr. Zhao's face? I saw Mr. Zhao's assistant running over to Mr. Zhao this afternoon." , but Mr. Zhao left after a short stay..."
I didn't say it clearly, but I always felt that the relationship between the two was a bit delicate.
"Mr. Zhao just came here today, and I'm tired all the way." The director is also a good person: "Everyone eats and eats, and I have to trouble everyone to work harder when I start work tomorrow..."
…
There were a lot of interesting content on Weibo at night. As soon as Pei Mingzhan came out of the hotel where he was socializing, he saw the mobile phone notification pop up and he paid special attention to the update information. He clicked on it and saw that Zhao Yao's account, which he followed a while ago, updated two microblogs, one was to repost a certain financial report, and the other was to repost a chicken soup for the soul of a certain emotional tree hole.
He quickly liked the two Weibo posts, and when he looked up, he saw the homestay where Zhao Yao lived.
There was a strong wind in the countryside at night, Zhao Yao felt a little cold, so he walked over and planned to close the window.
As a result, as soon as he reached the window, he saw Pei Mingzhan walking into the yard, and the two looked at each other.
The latter smiled slightly and raised his voice to ask, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
The author has something to say: Chen Xi: I am very nervous, I feel that I am not doing well enough.
