Chapter 51：

The time soon came to the eve of the variety show recording.

Zhao Yao brought Uncle Wang and two bodyguards when he went to H city this time. The program team had their own homestay in the countryside for recording the program, but Zhao Yao could not live with the guests who recorded the program, so the program team arranged for him again. Nearby homestays, the environmental conditions are pulled to full value.

After arriving at the place, the director hurried to greet him.

The director of "Leisurely" is a stout middle-aged man who is very enthusiastic. The bodyguard over there moved Zhao Yao and Uncle Wang's luggage into the homestay, and the director warmly invited Zhao Yao to drink tea at the place where the director group lived next to him, "Mr. Zhao, I have long admired the name."

Zhao Yao smelled the tea, and the aroma of local tea was very special, "You're welcome, please briefly describe the current situation of the project."

The director also learned from other channels that Huihua sent people 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 interested in this project. A lot of hard work has also been paid. If the investment is reduced, it will be difficult for the follow-up programs to achieve the desired effect.

He struggled to explain the overall details of the project to Zhao Yao, but the latter simply nodded in greeting.

After listening to this, Zhao Yao said that other things will be discussed tomorrow after watching the recording, and the director had to stop temporarily, knowing that being too verbose might arouse Mr. Zhao's disgust. After Zhao Yao left, the director team came up to ask about the situation, the director said: "Well, now we can only see what Zhao always thinks, this type of variety show is not very popular now, it's not that the guest group can't work, it's just Audience tastes vary so much.”

After the meeting, the staff came over and said, "Director, the guest's car has arrived at the gate of the village. Do you 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 to get up and go over to work.

The official recording is tomorrow. After Zhao Yao returned to the B&B, he went out with Uncle Wang for a walk.

He seldom came to the countryside of H City. The only impression he had was playing with his grandfather when he was a child. But the village here is still a bit far from where he used to go. It can be said that one is in the south and the other is in the north, but after entering the village, he heard a lot of dialects, which always made him feel a little closer.

Uncle Wang is from City H. I heard that he is the happiest person to come to the countryside.

The two were walking on the road, and Uncle Wang told him about H City as he walked, "Speaking of which, when I was a child, the young master liked to pester his wife to go to the countryside during the holidays. At that time, the wife was busy with work, and she always had to wait until the holidays. Time to accompany you to stay for a few days."

"Is there such a thing? I don't remember very clearly." Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, he really did not 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 when the young master went to primary school, there were a lot of things in the group during that time, and the wife didn't have time to walk away to accompany you to the H city. The young master cried for a long time." Wang Uncle said with a nostalgic look: "I said that I made an appointment with the children and wanted to play together. But after all, it was a special period during that time, and the security at the old house was also strengthened a lot, and their itineraries were also restricted, not to mention Said to send you to H city."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Yao paused slightly, "Have I cried like this before?"

Uncle Wang smiled: "Young master loved to cry when he was a child. There are a lot of photos in the album at home. I will look for the young master when I go back."

Hearing Uncle Wang say these things, Zhao Yao had a vague impression, but he really didn't remember it at all. He has lived two lifetimes, he has 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, and there is 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 there are clotheslines outside the yards of each household.

He walked casually, "It feels pretty good here."

The two walked to the entrance of the village unknowingly, and saw the director's car parked outside the entrance of the village, and the camera crew were already preparing. Uncle Wang asked curiously, "Master, is this the recording scene?"

Zhao Yao knows that the official recording will be tomorrow, and this time should be to shoot some material to use, "It shouldn't be, it should be a flying guest at this time, right?"

There were a lot of staff near the director. Some people saw Zhao Yao standing on a high **** with a middle-aged man, so they reminded the director.

"That's Mr. Zhao, right?"

"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 I worked under Mr. Zhao's previous project team? Now, rounding up, I also worked in Mr. Zhao's project."

"I just took a peek at him. He is really handsome, and he looks so white without makeup."

"Absolutely, this kind of handsome guy is still a domineering president. I thought that all kinds of domineering novels were deceptive!"

The director has a needle on his back, but he also directs other staff to work. In this issue, there are two flying guests, one is the flow Xiaohua invited by the director team, and the other is a mysterious guest. The first person to come is Xiaohua, this person's name is Yang Mumu, who has played the heroine of several ancient puppet dramas and is very popular. After she got off the car, she took out the suitcase from the trunk, full of youthful air, "Wow, the air here is so good."

Behind the scenes of "Leisure", some small tidbits of the guests going to the village will be inserted, and this section is to prepare for the tidbits. Uncle Wang saw the little girl underneath, and then asked Zhao Yao, "Master, isn't this the heroine of the costume drama "My Lover" you watched before?"

Zhao Yao was a little surprised when he heard the words. He didn't recognize him when he changed into a modern outfit. After a closer look, he found that it was really the girl.

He had seen some of the project materials, but the flight guests in this issue had not been determined when he got the materials. He didn't expect this girl to be there. The idol dramas Yao Bai recommended to him were outdated, but many of the new dramas recommended by Xiaoji were idol dramas played by Yang Mumu. He remembered that the girl did a good job in emotional dramas.

The director team sent a staff member to follow Zhao Yao, and Zhao Yao asked, "Does that girl have a new drama to promote?"

The staff said, "Is it Yang Mumu? The TV series she and Bai Huan starred in is about to air, and this time I came here to promote it."

Uncle Wang suddenly realized and asked in private, "What's your name?"

The staff is a little inexplicable: "It seems to be called "Lovesick Tears"."

Why does the gold master's father care about this?

Uncle Wang picked up the small notebook he carried with him, wrote down the title of the play, and reminded the young master to follow the play when it premiered.

The staff dare not neglect the people around the boss, but do not understand what this investment has to do with the promotion of the new drama with invited guests? Could it be that the father of the gold master doesn't like Yang Mumu?

There seems to be another car coming over in the distance. Here, Yang Mumu has advanced to the homestay ahead of time. The director team zoomed in and placed the camera on the newly entered vehicle. Zhao Yao stood farther away, and the car was parked farther than Yang Mumu's car. Seeing a familiar figure, he tilted his head and asked the staff, "Who is this guest at the back?"

The staff heard the words: "Mr. Zhao, it's Pei Mingzhan."

Zhao Yao was taken aback, Pei Mingzhan?

When did he take this variety show?

In addition to the staff of the director team, there are also villagers who came to watch. Pei Mingzhan's itinerary this time is kept secret, and the program team's announcement to the outside world only stated that there are mysterious guests in the new episode. Pei Mingzhan has acted in many TV dramas and movies, and he has been out for several years. The age group of fans includes men, women and children. When some villagers here see that it is Pei Mingzhan, they ask around in surprise, isn't this the actor who played whom?

"Am I wearing makeup? I heard that Pei Yingdi was coming, so I got up early and did some makeup on purpose."

"It didn't cost anything, I really didn't expect that our small program group would still be able to invite the best actor one day. The management is too awesome."

"Don't say it, I was shocked when I heard that Pei Mingzhan was coming. Didn't he rewind the circle?"

"It's true that I haven't picked up the event. I heard that in addition to the promotion of the drama to be broadcast in the itinerary in the past few months, it seems that we have a variety show schedule."

Pei Mingzhan just received a call from his agent, Brother Lao, in the car. This time, only his assistant Lele was recording with him. Brother Lao didn't follow him because of the studio. But along the way, I made a lot of phone calls to explain this and that. One said that I should pay attention to the influence of words and deeds, and the other said that I should not go out privately at night.

The two have worked together for many years, and these things have never been explained, but this time the agent is just like the frightened grasshopper, and it has to be explained. Before getting off the bus, Pei Mingzhan asked Lele, "Isn't this show a simple slow show?"

"Yeah..." Lele was also a little confused, that's what it said on the document.

But before he left, he was explained by Brother Lao, saying that he had to follow his brother closely this time, and he had to follow him wherever he went, "Brother Lao is a little excited, that is, a variety show. Brother Pei, you have recorded a lot of variety shows. Before I never explained that."

Pei Mingzhan felt that there was a ghost in someone's heart, but it didn't matter. He would know the problem when he arrived at the scene.

The recording place is in the countryside of H City, which is a little different from the suburb 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 off the car, he saw the filming site of the director's team in Zhileng near the entrance of the village, and there were many people watching at the two places.

Is this the start of recording? Or do you want to shoot a behind-the-scenes shot in advance?

Pei Mingzhan glanced at the surrounding scene, and soon noticed the person standing on the **** in front of him, who was 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, he laughed a little, turned his head and said to Lele: "You don't need to listen to Brother Lao, it's me who pays you your salary."

Lele is still confused, what do you mean?

When Zhao Yao saw Pei Mingzhan, he remembered that he went to the hotel with him some time ago. Some things were a little unnatural in retrospect, and these days, Pei Mingzhan was busy with work and the two didn't communicate much, but he didn't expect him. Actually accepted Huihua's invitation to come to "Leisure".

In terms of Pei Mingzhan's worth, coming to this kind of small variety show can be said to be poverty alleviation, and he has hardly participated in activities in the entertainment industry recently, and his work focus is all on his own company. of.

"Mr. Zhao, do you want to watch it in a different location?" The staff saw that Mr. Zhao was interested in these small clips recorded in advance, "Generally, variety shows will shoot some tidbits and save them as small theaters and release them on the cooperation platform. The tidbits released in the first episode are quite good. Many audiences like it, so the director took advantage of the time to let some newcomers to the small theater of Leisure."

Zhao Yao saw that a staff member below gave Pei Mingzhan a portable microphone. Obviously, this shooting mainly focused on the feeling of first arriving at the variety show, revealing some behind-the-scenes stories to the audience. The format of variety shows itself 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 shooting is also what the audience is interested in.

Zhao Yao doesn't have much impression of "Leisure", and he knew something in his previous life because of Uncle Wang, but "Leisure" is a project with a strong successor, and the audience group it has accumulated after its reputation can not be ignored. The content is really suitable for slow life, and on the other hand, the program team has a relaxed and moderate way of releasing materials.

It's just that after a while, the program team gave him a very different feeling. He has seen some of the settings in the program, and it is indeed similar to the "Leisure" in his impression. If we look at the event track, this project has always been in the name of Huihua Culture. Is it because the program revenue is not satisfactory, so Chen Xi later put this Has the project been transferred to another company?

The staff stood beside Zhao Yao, and when he saw Mr. Zhao's face, his expression didn't change.

Isn't this a bad way to record the footage? Will Zhao always dislike their program group's indiscriminate use of funds...?

A few people stood for a while, and it was recorded that Pei Mingzhan entered the homestay.

The staff suddenly saw a person running over in a hurry. It looked familiar, but for a while, they couldn't remember who this person was.

Lele gasped for breath after running over. After a break, he said, "Mr. Zhao, Brother Pei said that he will come to you after recording."

"He will finish the recording task." Zhao Yao calmly said, "How many days have you been here?"

Lele said: "The program was recorded for three days. After that, Brother Pei will stay in City H for a few days. Does Mr. Zhao have any arrangements? I'll tell Brother Pei."

"City H?" Zhao Yaocai suddenly remembered that Pei Mingzhan was from City H, so he should also go home when he came here, "It's okay, let him do it first."

"Is there anything else to do with the recording later?" Zhao Yao asked the staff.

The staff hurriedly said, "It's all right after this recording is over. The official recording will be tomorrow."

After Pei Mingzhan entered the B&B, he saw the resident MCs of "Leisure". After a few people greeted them politely, the program crew recorded a few additional scenes, and the rest was to go upstairs to look at the room.

"Brother Pei, the director said that there will be a shot of entering the door in a while, maybe the feature film will be cut in." The staff came over to him and explained the content, "The main content is tomorrow, the shot of check-in will be recorded today, and the feature film will be played when you wake up tomorrow morning. record."

Pei Mingzhan knew the arrangement of their program group, "Okay, just say something in advance."

The staff breathed a sigh of relief. A big man like Shadow Emperor Pei suddenly came to their small temple, and the entire program team treated them with great spirit. In addition to Pei Yingdi, there is also Mr. Zhao staring at the back. The recording pressure of this episode 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 the guest of your recording this episode?"

"No." The staff explained: "Zhao always came to inspect and did not participate in this recording."

It's okay if Mr. Zhao is here to record. If there is some negative news in the broadcast, they will not be able to eat and go. Although the editors of their program group do not engage in coquettish operations, the discussion ability of netizens should not be underestimated. , It often happens that there is something wrong in the eye of the needle.

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 that of an ordinary internet celebrity, and the pressure of public opinion in the future will be different. In the past, there were some small fans who sneaked in in the village to make candid photos. But because President Zhao came over, the bodyguards invited by the program team stayed around the homestay early.

"So it is." Pei Mingzhan was stunned, no wonder Zhao Yao's name was not in the guest list given to him by the agent, but with his fussing behavior, I am afraid that Zhao Yao was going to come to the scene. He should have known in advance. Otherwise, it will not be repeated.

-*

Zhao Yao didn't go to the B&B to see the situation. He planned to wait for the feature film to be recorded tomorrow. He took the overall process of the 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 the place is quite far away." Uncle Wang also took a copy of the process and looked at it. He asked, "Do you want to eat the country food of H city? I will also go to the market tomorrow to buy some fresh ingredients."

Zhao Yao was also a little interested. The rhythm of life here is different from the rhythm in the city, and it seems that the whole person has slowed down when he comes here, "I'll go see you tomorrow, I haven't seen what the morning episode is like. of."

Uncle Wang smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, let's go there tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yao's recent changes are obvious. Uncle Wang still remembers the impatience in his eyes when the young master opened his eyes when he was in 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, documents in black and white are everywhere, and the young master often calls his subordinates in a serious tone.

If it was in the past, the young master would never waste time watching TV at home, and he would work overtime and stay up all night. 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 his work problems to capable subordinates. People change.

At the beginning, Uncle Wang was still a little uncomfortable, thinking that the young master had other plans because of the problems in the group. But seeing his life rhythm change and paying more and more attention to his body, he realized that the young master really changed his original thoughts. This change is good, but the better it is, the more distressed he will be.

Everyone is competitive, and 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 the unprepared. Those who are eliminated will always be ridiculed and ridiculed by others. The more wealth and power, the more greedy it becomes. But now the young master has changed, he has started to live his own life instead of immersed in endless work.

"Many young masters have already eaten the country dishes in H City. The side dishes sent by Mr. Pei are the taste of the country." Uncle Wang carefully introduced Zhao Yao to different places in H City. It is obviously just a few simple ingredients, but There are several ways to change in H city.

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of Pei Mingzhan's practice, "Is that what Pei Mingzhan did from my grandfather's side? I tasted like what my mother did before."

"Yes, the place we came to may have a better taste." Uncle Wang said.

Zhao Yao paused slightly, "That's right."

In the evening, the TV in the homestay was playing a series that Zhao Yaoxin was chasing. There was a small gathering of guests from the program group next door. The director group came to invite Zhao Yao, but Zhao Yao didn't like that kind of scene very much, so he declined. Thinking that I didn't do a good job, I came to the door to apologize. Later, it was Uncle Wang who explained it, and the director felt relieved and left.

"Master." Uncle Wang brought warm water and pills. "You have to get up early tomorrow, so Master should rest early in the evening."

"Okay." Zhao Yao's sleep quality has improved recently. He thought it was slowly getting better, but after taking the medicine, it will take a while for the medicine to work. Speaking of which, the night he slept the best recently was the night he went out with Pei Mingzhan. He thought that maybe he was tired, so he could sleep well.

This is contrary to his previous situation. He belongs to the type that the more he works, the more energetic he is, but the recent events on the live broadcast platform have not caused him to lose control of his work and rest, but have a tendency to improve, and the quality of sleep has gradually improved. He also asked this question when he went to the psychiatrist, who asked him if anything else happened during this time? It is said that changes in mentality in daily life will also affect attitudes, which may be related to this reason.

Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, and it didn't change much, the only exception was Pei Mingzhan.

The live broadcast platform thing is Pei Mingzhan's connection, but Pei Mingzhan is very concerned about his working hours. Occasionally, he calls at night to say that the plan is too late. Some things in the entertainment industry relieved 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 understand.

Chen Xi sent a new quarterly project status table, 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 started 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 up excitedly. He was stunned when he saw the [ok] expression, 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 chat content with a gloomy face, "Why does Mr. Zhao make this expression when his performance is average, but when his performance has improved, Mr. Zhao still has this expression." Wouldn't Mr. Zhao feel a little fluctuated? For example, change the expression pack, or say a few other words, which makes him very uneasy.

-*

Mr. Zhao has no news about his itinerary recently. Fans have made a lot of emojis with the dinner picture taken from Emperor Pei. The official blog of Huihua Culture was harassed, and finally, with the permission of the leader, a Weibo was issued to summarize the work of the quarterly meeting of Huihua Culture.

[We have been urging for so long, and you have finally grown a little bit! 】

[Mr. Zhao, who works hard, is so handsome! The suit Mr. Zhao will always be my favorite! 】

[You can ask the leader to add chicken drumsticks, and post more next time! 】

[I didn't expect that one day I would seriously read this work summary of less than 100 words...]

[The fans of this business are very happy when I think of Mr. Zhao's contribution in this work summary! 】

The staff of Huihua's official blog tearfully looked at the gradually increasing comments and likes, thinking that it would be better to post a summary of work on the three Weibo posts of other artists this day. This photo is still a Weibo that he has screened from dozens of photos to find out the positive image of Mr. Zhao.

The entertainment is lively here, because we will be recording tomorrow, and everyone just drinks some beer during the meal. When the guests at the table saw that Pei Mingzhan left the table first, they asked the director team curiously: "I was shocked to hear that Pei Mingzhan was invited, can this be invited? I heard that his studio is no longer accepting variety shows. ."

The director was also puzzled, but he still said boldly: "It's not because Huihua has face. I heard that Film Emperor Pei has a good relationship with Huihua, so this time he specially chose our show to come over."

The resident guest Dai Ge heard the words and said curiously: "Why didn't Mr. Zhao come over tonight, I heard that the relationship between Pei Yingdi and Mr. Zhao is good!"

"I saw them on the hot search a while ago." Another guest said: "Isn't this actor Pei Yingdi looking at President Zhao's face? I saw Yingdi Pei's assistant running over to President Zhao in the afternoon. , but Mr. Zhao left soon after..."

I didn't say it clearly, but I always felt that the relationship between the two was a little delicate.

"Mr. Zhao just came here today, and I'm tired all the way here." The director is also a good person: "Everyone eats and eats, and we will have to work harder tomorrow when we start work..."

...

There was 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 push pop up that 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, had updated two Weibo posts, one was to repost a certain financial report, and the other was to repost a chicken soup for the soul of an emotional tree hole.

He quickly liked the two Weibo, and looked up to see the homestay where Zhao Yao lives.

The wind was strong in the countryside at night, Zhao Yao felt a little cold, and walked over to close the window.

As soon as they got to the window, they saw Pei Mingzhan walking into the yard, and the two looked at each other.

The latter smiled slightly and asked loudly, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

The author has something to say: Chen Xi: I am very uneasy, I think I am not doing well enough.
