In the luxurious room, Zhao Zhikai opened his eyes until the phone on the bedside table vibrated.
The woman lying next to him opened her eyes and looked at it, then turned over and continued to sleep. Zhao Zhikai got dressed and left the bed, opened the heavy curtains, and connected the call from his confidant: "Hello, how's the situation?"
It was still dark in the distance of the city, and Zhao Zhikai's expression became more and more serious the more he heard it: "He, Zhao Changshuo, has really long hands, and he also discovered this project?"
After the confidant said a few words, Zhao Zhikai's face turned black with anger. Since Zhao Yao withdrew from the competition, Zhao Changshuo's speed of action became faster and faster. The people he sent to Zhao Changshuo's side were found out one by one, and now even the projects under him are also being targeted by Zhao Changshuo.
Among the four members of the Zhao family, only Zhao Changshuo and Zhao Yao were outstanding. Zhao Zhikai originally wanted to help Zhao Qizhen, but he didn't expect that Zhao Qi was really helpless. Caused a lot of trouble.
Veins appeared in Zhao Zhikai's hand holding the balcony railing. All this loss of control started when Zhao Yao withdrew from the competition, as if everything had been out of control since then. He asked, "What action has Zhao Yao made recently?"
The confidant said a few more words.
"You mean he cooperated with Pei's family to set up a live broadcast platform?" Zhao Zhikai frowned slightly, "Also, what's the current situation of the entertainment company he runs?"
Zhao Zhikai listened to his confidant's report in silence, and said briefly: "He, Zhao Yao, caused me such a big trouble, and just waved his hand and went about his own business in a blink of an eye? Didn't you say that he was building a team? If there is any spare person, find a way to squeeze one in."
Things are definitely not that clever, Zhao Changshuo reacted so quickly when Zhao Yao just quit
Zhao Zhikai thought to himself that he had been very cautious in planning these years, and Zhao Yao hadn't had access to his core resources in the first two years since he joined the group, so how could Zhao Changshuo figure out his situation? Either there are ghosts under his command, or Zhao Yao knows far more than he imagined, and thinking about it, the relationship between Zhao Changshuo and Zhao Yao has also become closer during this period...
Could it be that there is actually Zhao Yao's idea in it

The recording of the feature film of the variety show started, and before five o'clock, the resident guest Brother Dai got up.
"The others haven't woken up yet, let them fall asleep first." Brother Dai yawned and went to the yard to wash up. Their show didn't ask the guests to get up early, but the show recording started at four o'clock in the morning. The big-hearted guests just catch up on sleep and sleep until they wake up naturally, and some guests get up early to get busy in order to earn shots.
The program team does not have strict requirements, but if you want to buy some fresh ingredients in this village, you can only get up early and go to the morning market to buy vegetables. The program group does not include food and drink, it is all done by the guests themselves, so as the eldest brother among the resident guests, Brother Dai can only say that he gets up to buy things by himself.
It was dawn, and as soon as he arrived at the yard, he saw a figure standing in the corridor beside the yard.
Holding the mouthwash cup, Brother Dai asked in a daze, "Brother Pei?"
Pei Mingzhan turned his head and nodded to him, "Morning."
Brother Dai was very surprised. He didn't expect Pei Mingzhan to get up so early. The two had a conversation, and he asked, "Why did Brother Pei wake up so early? It's better to sleep more when it's cold."
"I went to bed early yesterday, are you going to the market later?" Pei Mingzhan asked.
Brother Dai replied: "Yes, do you want to go together?"
"Let's go, buy some fresh ingredients." Pei Mingzhan nodded.
The program team gave specific funds, and Brother Dai has been managing the money. As a domestic variety show cafe, Brother Dai has encountered many problems. He knows that the program group provides specific funds for entertainment. The two walked on the road for a while, and met many villagers who went to the market. Brother Dai came to the market twice and said: "The hawkers who come to the village to buy things sometimes have to go to several villages. It is early to come here. If If you don’t hurry, go there sooner, the good ones will be picked away, and the rest will be half good or not bad.”
When entering the market, Brother Dai saw a familiar figure with sharp eyes. He saw a soy milk stand in the distance. Mr. Zhao and his housekeeper were standing in front of the soy milk stand, as if they were buying deep-fried dough sticks. They are recording a program here, and it is not easy to go up to say hello when encountering such a situation, but there are already staff members following Mr. Zhao to deal with emergencies at any time.
Brother Dai intends to avoid Mr. Zhao and go to the other side.
"I haven't had breakfast yet." Pei Mingzhan stopped.
"Ah?" Brother Dai was stunned, and quickly realized that they got up early in the morning, and they lived on instant noodles for the first two periods. When Pei Mingzhan said this, the aroma of the hot soybean milk stall over there was really impressive. Can't go away.
When the staff of the director group got up early in the morning and were busy, they heard that Mr. Zhao was going to watch the recording today. As a result, the recording had just started, and there was news that Mr. Zhao planned to go to the market. So the director was exhausted. On the one hand, he let the recording work continue, and on the other hand, he asked the staff to keep an eye on Mr. Zhao, so that if something went wrong, he could solve it in time.
So when Mr. Zhao and Actor Pei appeared in the recorded surveillance video, the director's heart was in his throat, and he hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to ask, "What's going on?"
The staff over there said: "Mr. Zhao is buying soy milk..."
The director asked again: "How did brother Pei pass?"
The staff said: "Brother Pei and Brother Dai are hungry."
Director: "..."
Originally, Zhao Yao and Uncle Wang had bought breakfast, but the proprietress of the soybean milk shop habitually made it for dine-in food, and asked the little girl at home to bring it to a small table beside her. It was the first time for Zhao Yao to eat in this kind of small shop. The tables and chairs were not high, and his legs could only be bent on a small place when he sat down. There were boiled eggs in the hot soy milk. Just as he and Uncle Wang sat down, people from the program team came over from afar.
Oh yes, they are recording a show in the morning.
Zhao Yao's angle of view happened to be able to see the situation in the market, and he saw Pei Mingzhan walking with another person, who seemed to be buying breakfast.
Brother Dai was still thinking about the funds on the way here. The program team didn’t provide much funds, just enough to buy some meat and vegetables. At other times, they would go to the fields to do farm work, and the villagers in the fields would give them some specialties. These rules were not clearly stated by the program group, and it was up to them to do it or not, but if they bought some breakfast now, the cost of buying food would be a little less.
Although there is not much money for breakfast for two, ten yuan is gone after calculation.
When Pei Mingzhan saw Zhao Yao, he nodded and greeted him, and asked bluntly, "Can I have a meal?"
Zhao Yao paused while holding the soy milk bowl. Does Pei Mingzhan know that he is recording a program
Uncle Wang looked at Zhao Yao's face, and then ordered two more breakfasts with the proprietress.
Zhao Yao said: "Sit down."
Pei Mingzhan sat down unceremoniously.
Four people were crowded at the small table, and Brother Dai was immediately brought into this weird atmosphere.
At this small breakfast table, one is their guest of honor in this issue, and the other is the sponsor's father provided by the program group. Brother Dai looked at the hot soy milk brought by the proprietress, smelled it and suddenly felt that it didn't taste good. He always felt that he wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but the few people at the table didn't say anything, and started eating with breakfast.
Brother Dai was incompetent, so he could only look at the director team in the distance for help.
But the director avoided his gaze, slightly flexed his fist and gave him a cheering gesture.

When Chen Xi was at work, it happened that Yao Bai came to talk about something. Two days ago, he learned that Mr. Zhao was investing in another company and planned to form a new team. Now he is looking for suitable candidates. He also read the list sent by Yao Bai, some of which were for headhunters to look at, and some were not so easy to find.
"This team really should get it done sooner. Mr. Zhao himself is not a meddlesome person, but the investment projects are gradually increasing." Chen Xi still has some knowledge about these things, "It's okay, I'll help you check this matter."
The two of them had another discussion about the team, and then Chen Xi remembered something, "The filming of "Li Meng" is almost finished, is it okay to promote it during this time?"
Because of Mr. Zhao, Huihua Culture has increased its investment in "Limeng" a lot, and now the internals are particularly concerned about the situation of this project, and "Limeng" has been mentioned in several meetings.
"It's not bad, the filming will be finished in about a month, and the official blog is also releasing materials regularly." Yao Bai felt strange when he said this, "It's just that Shiyang Films is too quiet during this period, which makes me wonder I don't understand, you said that before the filming of the film, they tried their best to find trouble, but now they didn't move at all during the critical period, so they wouldn't be really cowardly, would they?"
Chen Xidao: "I'm also wondering about this, I'll ask someone to help you later."
"Do you have enough manpower?" Yao Bai knew that Chen Xi had been worrying about the manpower problem before.
"Mr. Zhao has recruited the entire company. Is there not enough manpower here?" Chen Xi said, "I don't know if you are familiar with this person. He used to be the vice president of Xingchen Culture. He just came here two days ago to take over. Regarding the project, he is familiar with the affairs in the circle, if there is no problem with you, I will ask him to come over and help you."
After all, Yao Bai didn't belong to this industry. Some dirty tricks in the entertainment industry are hard to guard against. Chen Xi also has this in mind, "This way you can also have time to be busy with Mr. Zhao's team."
"Alright, I heard you changed Zhang Qi's agent?" Yao Bai said.
"Isn't Xiao Liu too busy to bring Ji Heyu?" Chen Xi thought of Ji Heyu and felt that Zhao Yao really had a foresight. Xiao Ji was considered a gifted child before, but after studying systematically during this period, he can sing well. The level has improved significantly, and he has gained super popularity in the variety show "Voice", and directly won the second place.
Although it is not as good as the number of votes for the first place, but after leaving "Sound", his popularity has not decreased but increased. Many invitations have been sent to Huihua, and his popularity has risen to the front row of Huihua's contracted artists. Chen Xi sees The report sent by the secretary made me feel up and I don't know how many values it has.
But when these things were placed in front of Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao just said [ok] and settled down.
Yao Bai nodded: "Yes, Xiao Ji is too hot now."
While the two were talking, the secretary from outside came in and hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, something happened. The project we voted for Honeymelon TV has returned."
Chen Xi glanced at Yao Bai when he heard the words, and the two immediately understood the matter, "May I ask who quit? Check with Shiyang Films."

During the recording of the variety show, the director was a little worried. According to their original plan, a lot of material should be cut out of this part of the recording. However, because Actor Pei talked to Mr. Zhao from time to time, the scenes involving Mr. Zhao could not be used. As a result, this The lens is only half usable.
Mr. Zhao also came to buy groceries in the morning. The director couldn't understand why the domineering president was interested in buying groceries. I saw Mr. Zhao's accompanying butler was very particular about grocery shopping. He bought a lot of things from the beginning to the end of the market. . For this reason, Brother Dai and Film Emperor Pei also ran into Mr. Zhao in the market from time to time, talking a few words, buying vegetables for half an hour, and finally shooting for an hour.
Brother Dai is also in a complicated mood. Didn't it mean that the relationship between Pei Yingdi and Mr. Zhao is normal? Why can't others get in a half sentence when these two people are talking.
The director had to remind Pei Mingzhan: "Brother Pei, although our program doesn't have so many rules, we must give us some material for post-editing."
Pei Mingzhan was puzzled: "Didn't it take a long time to shoot in the morning? It didn't work at all?"
"No, I shoot a lot, but Mr. Zhao's lens can't be used." The director was so worried that he lost his hair, and the leader came to inspect it. It turned out that it was the first time that something that was filmed in a variety show was included in his shooting experience. The key is that the leader is still difficult to guess, and it is even more difficult to deal with.
Pei Mingzhan smiled: "This place is also small, I was negligent. But you can also discuss this issue with Mr. Zhao, he is very talkative, one or two shots is not a big problem, just cut the part where we talked All right."
The director had no choice but to ask the staff to ask Mr. Zhao, and got an answer that let them figure it out, and finally he was relieved.
After returning to the homestay, other guests also got up. The cooking was originally done by a young man among the resident guests. His cooking was average, but it was much better than other guests who had never been in the kitchen. But as soon as he arrived at the B&B today, Pei Mingzhan took over the job of cooking and asked others to assign him to do other work.
Brother Dai asked curiously, "Brother Pei, can you still cook?"
Thinking about actor Pei's family background, his salary has been constant over the years since his debut, and I heard that he still has a background to support him. Such a person can actually cook.
"Not many, but it's okay." Pei Mingzhan glanced at the artists standing in the yard, "The ingredients don't seem to be enough for so many people. Are there other ways to get them?"
"Yes, we will go to the field to help in a while and come back with some food." Brother Dai asked: "Brother Pei, what other ingredients do you need, just tell us later."
Pei Mingzhan simply responded.
Although the weather is cold, the sun is still a bit big today. Before departure, a guest was touching up his makeup. Brother Dai thought that he might not come back in time after going to the field, so he told his assistant a few words: "Brother Pei, if you need anything, call me later."
After finishing speaking, he explained, "I know you are a fan of Brother Pei. I will get you an autograph after the show is over. Don't bother others during the recording."
The assistant glanced at Pei Mingzhan, who was busy in the kitchen, and nodded.
The people who stayed in the homestay were Pei Mingzhan and Yang Mumu. Yang Mumu was the only girl among the guests, and it was not good to let other girls go to work in the fields, so she was asked to stay in the kitchen and do laundry for Pei Mingzhan. . Yang Mumu had also been in the kitchen more or less, and the work of washing vegetables was a bit quick, and the two of them quickly took care of lunch for several people.
"Brother Pei, can I put the dishes here?" Yang Mumu put the things down.
Pei Mingzhan responded and asked her to rest first.
Yang Mumu saw Pei Mingzhan who was fluent in knife skills beside him, and thought that men nowadays really live at home, and she didn't stick around beside her, so she just found a place to sit and rest if she wanted to rest. There were still a lot of management products. She moved a stool to a cool place, and when she was about to play with her mobile phone, she noticed a sneaky person standing at the kitchen door.
Because it is still recording, the staff here will occasionally move around, but generally it will not affect the normal shooting of the variety show. What's more, for a slow drama like "Leisure", under normal circumstances, there is no need for staff to remind, except for the situation where the cameras are placed everywhere to record the homestay, the rest of the situation is that the guests follow the camera when they go out.
Yang Mumu identified it carefully, and the person standing by the side of the kitchen didn't look like a staff member, but more like an outsider. She looked at it for a while, and when the man showed a side face, she realized that this man seemed to be Brother Dai's assistant.
When a group of people were talking in the living room last night, this assistant walked around a lot, and she was more or less impressed.
Yang Mumu paused for a while, wouldn't he
Pei Mingzhan came out halfway through cooking. Seeing Yang Mumu sitting in the yard, he asked her to go to the kitchen and watch for some soup. "I'll go next door to borrow some sauce, but there's no more here."
Yang Mumu nodded and said yes, glanced at the ingredients on the kitchen cabinet from the corner of the eye, thinking that Brother Pei had to make a big meal to use the ingredients that the program group did not prepare, but thinking about it, it was a bit unreasonable, this program group did not have any Will the next door neighbor still have the ingredients
The director who was sitting behind the monitor also became puzzled, and turned to ask the staff, "Isn't our material complete enough?"
In order to give the guests a chance to perform, the staff basically found all the ingredients that can be bought in the market, "It should be all there... What kind of ingredients does Brother Pei want?"

When Uncle Wang was cooking, Zhao Yao went to the place where the director team was lying. The staff carefully introduced to him various behind-the-scenes work, and also briefly talked about the links in the show. Impressed, he asked, "Why aren't these two games set up?"
The staff member was a little embarrassed and said: "Originally, our program is already casual enough. The director is afraid that the game will take up too many scenes, and putting the cart before the horse will affect the positioning of the program."
Zhao Yao briefly recalled the situation of watching this show in his previous life, and said simply: "I know the positioning of your show is problematic, but our own show is a low-consumption type, and the setting of game links does not need to be as large-scale as other variety shows. You can think about it." The method is to simplify the details of the game and try to turn it into a feature item of our program.”
The staff member was a little confused, so he asked, "Is that so?"
"You have to create a certain sense of expectation for the audience, and also let the audience have a general impression of our program. When it is broadcast for one or two episodes, the audience may find this program interesting, but when they talk about the details of this program, they will A concrete impression is missing."
Zhao Yao explained: "For example, competitive variety shows, audiences will look forward to their special game sessions, and food shows are looking forward to its unique dishes in each episode. Projects like "Leisure" that are positioned in rural life, one In the first few episodes, you can say that you will bring the audience to experience the feeling of the countryside, but after the same material is finished, the audience will get bored, then what will you compete with the same type of variety show?"
After hearing this, the staff conveyed the words to the director, who had mixed feelings in his heart, "Is this really what Mr. Zhao said?"
"That's right, Mr. Zhao also asked you to pay more attention to these. Mr. Zhao said that although the show can rely on the guests to make a name for itself, the long-term development still depends on the show itself. Let us make the show well." The staff member asked after finishing speaking : "Director, what do you mean by President Zhao's words?"
The director tapped him lightly with the script in his hand, "You are stupid, Mr. Zhao has already talked to us about the future, why don't you do it well?"
The staff suddenly realized.
"General leaders look at these things, or they will give you a vague answer for you to guess the holy will, or they will give you an answer after a few days." The director was worried at first, but he finally put it down after hearing Mr. Zhao's words. , "How can a leader come to talk to you about development? Generally speaking, they want to make a show seriously. Zhao always cares about this show, so he talks so much."
There are many rumors about Mr. Zhao in Huihua. Some people say that he is easy to talk to, and some people think he is too mysterious... Knowing that Mr. Zhao is coming to see the project, he can only inquire about the situation, but in the eyes of more people, Mr. Zhao He is a person who predicts things like a god and is difficult to get along with. Just because he does not come to the company for more than two days a month, and his attitude in handling projects is calm and decisive. In short, he was very flustered after hearing this, so he chose to do it when Mr. Zhao came here. A little welcome party.
In the end, when he invited Mr. Zhao, he was rejected by Mr. Zhao.
If he failed to guess the holy will, what he was facing might be Mr. Zhao's overall feeling about the whole program. He was flustered for a long time, but when Mr. Zhao said these words, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"Has Mr. Zhao gone back?" the director asked.
The staff said: "Boss Zhao said that he doesn't need to worry about other things, let us follow the plan."
When Zhao Yao came out of the room of the program group just now, he met Pei Mingzhan. He was still followed by the camera, as if he came out temporarily. Zhao Yao avoided him a little bit, and the two saw that they didn't greet each other. When Pei Mingzhan walked into Zhao Yao's homestay, Zhao Yao who followed behind frowned.
After returning to the homestay, Zhao Yao didn't greet Pei Mingzhan directly. When he saw that he was leaving with a small bottle of Uncle Wang's sauce and some other ingredients, he went to the kitchen and asked suspiciously: "Pei Mingzhan is here. do what?"
"Bring some sauces and ingredients." Uncle Wang explained with his usual expression: "Master, don't you like the little pickles made by Mr. Pei? When talking to Mr. Pei yesterday, he said that he would make more and send them over if he had time today, but the program The team didn't prepare the ingredients he wanted, so they came to me to get them."
Zhao Yao thought to himself, how does Pei Mingzhan know that Uncle Wang has sauce
-*
When Pei Mingzhan returned to the homestay, two of the guests who went to work in the field came back to pick up their things, and they were recording some commercials with the sponsor's products. Yang Mumu stood at the door of the kitchen, and when he saw Pei Mingzhan came back, he said, "I'm not very good at reading, I think that soup is almost ready."
Pei Mingzhan nodded, went in and put the sauce on the table.
Yang Mumu glanced at the bottle curiously, "Huh? Brother Pei, don't we have this kind of sauce?"
Pei Mingzhan tilted his head, "Really? I couldn't find it when I was looking for it just now."
Yang Mumu took out the sauce ingredients from behind the ingredient shelf, "It's too inside, no wonder you didn't see it."
"By the way, Brother Pei." Yang Mumu originally planned to go out, and then saw Dai's assistant sneaking into the hotel, "Did you know Dai's assistant? I think he is a bit strange."
