The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 648 Worry
In Hangzhou at the end of April, spring is in full swing.

Jing Tian wore a white long-sleeved shirt inside and a thin sky blue jacket outside. There was a name tag on the back, and she looked youthful and beautiful.

Maybe it was because he had just finished exercising, there was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Liu Shishi was guessing in her heart, but when she looked down, she immediately changed her mind. This girl was probably eating spicy noodles.

Jing Tian noticed her gaze, wiped his lips, and felt embarrassed.

She and Liu Shishi are both foodies. When they are not filming, they keep a bunch of snacks in their bags to share with everyone, especially spicy strips, which you have to lick your fingers several times after eating.

Lu Yuan was puzzled by her words: "I'm sorry, sorry for what?"

"That thing about 'The Man from Macau'." Jing Tian hesitated.

Some time ago, the media revealed that Du Wenzhe was jointly banned by several first-tier TV stations in mainland China.

Although people in the industry do not have conclusive evidence, they can basically guess who was behind it.

Jing Tian happened to be the one who knew the real inside story. Because of Lu Yuan, she and Liu Shishi are now best friends, and they gossiped about this matter a lot.

She originally wanted to ask Mr. Lu to try harder and see if he could squeeze Du Wenze out and make his position clear, but she was rejected.

"Hey, what did I think?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just focus on filming your own drama."

Unless there is any principled mistake, no one has the ability to completely ban an artist unless someone from the relevant unit speaks up, such as Han Sanping.

Lu Yuan knew very well that, except for Dragon TV and Hunan TV, most TV stations' ban on Du Wenze was only temporary.

After "The Cliff" is broadcast, I estimate that the mystery will be solved in a year or two.

As for the big screen, his arms aren't that long, nor is there a need to do so.

The TV station's soft ban was purely a coincidence as "The Cliff" was about to start filming.

Hong Kong capital will not let Du Wenze get away with it unless he makes a principled mistake and seeks his own death during this period.

"When will the filming of 'The Man from Macau' start?" he asked casually.

Jing Tian said without hesitation: "Director Wang Jing is already filming. I don't have many scenes. He asked me to find time to go there so that we can finish the filming in one go."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Speaking of which, the people behind this are really willing to support Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhen Zidan, Cheng Long, Xie Tingfeng, and Zhou Runfa.
The status of the actors acting with her has improved step by step, but unfortunately, her own acting skills have not improved at all.

From this junior sister, Lu Yuan once again realized a practical truth: an actor cannot have things go too smoothly in the early stages.

Unless you are extremely talented, you don't have the time to fill your performance library, because you can't act out sadness if you haven't experienced it.

If one day this junior sister encounters a setback in love, or if she gets older or other things happen in her life, she will have a sudden realization and her business ability will have a leap forward.

Seeing Wang Baoqiang and others tearing off each other's name tags, Lu Yuan said something to her and walked straight over.

Liu Shishi stayed behind to chat with Jingtian in private.

She happily picked up the bag in her hand and said, "I brought you puffs from Beijing. It's the shop you often go to."

"Thank you!" Jing Tian took it with surprise, took out a piece, took a bite, and revealed the cream filling.

"Mmm, it still tastes the same, delicious."

She took her arm and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to some spicy noodles. Lu always won't let me eat them, so I secretly hid several packets."

Liu Shishi licked her lips, glanced at Lu Yuan, and seeing that the other party didn't hear her, she quickly agreed.

As she walked towards Jing Tian’s RV, she asked again, “How does it feel to be filming a variety show?”

"It's pretty good. After getting to know each other, I found that everyone is very easy to talk to, especially Sa Beining. Although he looks serious when hosting "Today's Statement", he is actually very funny and has a bursting sense of humor. He always has something to say. The other people are similar."

"Really? Tell me about it."

On the other side, Lu Yuan exchanged a few words with the two directors and stood behind the camera.

The scenes presented on the screen, whether it is a play or a reality show, will have the script set in advance, including the character settings.

The same is true for "Running Man".

Sa Beining is the host and is responsible for setting the pace, which is his old job.

Lin Gengxin is 1.86 meters tall. He trained his muscles specifically for the purpose of filming this variety show. He is the strongest man in the audience and the tallest. He stood aside like a wall.

Su Xin was the runner-up of Super Boy. After the champion Chen Chusheng was banned, he became the object of Hunan Satellite TV's support.

He is very popular and has countless fans. A few years ago, he beat up the neighbor Lao Wang who put a hat on him. He was almost banned by Tianyu, but Lu Yuan stepped in to rescue him.

Because of his decisive action, netizens praised him for being a real man, relying on his youth, flexible positioning and running very fast.

Xue Zhi signed Wang Baoqiang, Sha Yi and three others, positioning them as underdogs, focusing on being simple and honest, and also being a funny guy.

Jing Tian is naturally the face of the group, and she can be willful because she is pretty.

These people basically have their own fan groups, and their personalities are also targeted at different audiences.

Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the scene, where Sa Beining was chasing after Wang Baoqiang and fighting with him.

Just like filming a movie, the two people stood in their respective positions. After the photographer adjusted the angle, he shouted 321 and started running.

Where to run, how to hide, whether to fall down, and what to say are all planned in advance.

If there is a problem in a link, go back to the starting point and start over.

Of course, the guests can also express themselves freely and say something that suits their personality.

But usually you have to discuss it with the director or your teammates in advance, or at least inform the director.

Lu Yuan asked director Yao Yitian: "Did Jing Tian just get torn off?"

"Yes, she is always deceived by Sa Beining, but she still doesn't learn her lesson."

"Do you think she is suitable for this kind of program?"

Yao Yitian said with a smile: "It's quite suitable. Although she looks quiet and a little cold on the outside, she is actually carefree and straightforward on the inside. She says whatever she wants. She has left the other participants speechless several times during the recording. She often makes jokes. Moreover, her running posture is very inconsistent with her image. It is really funny."

When he said this, Yao Yitian himself laughed.

When he first learned about the list of candidates, he had a bad impression of the resource-rich actress Jing Tian because her acting skills were so poor.

It's just that when the recording of the variety show starts, it is discovered that the other party has no idol image, so the screenwriter sets up some punishment measures, such as showing no makeup, throwing water and so on.

She didn't care at all and just let things happen as they came.

It is no exaggeration to say that this point alone is enough to beat countless female stars in the industry.

Variety shows are different from movies and TV dramas. They can have character settings, but they must not float in the sky or think of themselves as stars. They must be down-to-earth and not play around. Putting on a stern face all the time will attract the most criticism.

Of course, you can't be too down-to-earth, as this can easily backfire.

Yao Yitian hesitated and said, "But Sa Beining has not been in the right condition these days. His spirit and energy are not as good as when we first started filming."

"Really?" Lu Yuan looked at the other person's figure.

"Card!"

The on-site filming came to an end, and Sa Beining was killed by Wang Baoqiang.

Wang Baoqiang walked over with a name tag in his hand and bared his teeth.

"Lao Lu!"

Lu Yuan bumped fists with him, and as if they were in sync, he asked the same question as Liu Shishi: "How do you feel?"

Wang Baoqiang was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Everyone speaks very nicely, has a good temper and is not arrogant."

Yao Yitian was speechless as he listened on the side. You are the most famous among the group, who dares to put on airs?

Wang Baoqiang took Lu Yuan aside to talk about his recent situation.

When his agent first received the invitation from the program team, he saw that the variety show was planned by PPS, and after inquiring about some other details, he turned it down without a second thought.

When it comes to streaming variety shows, in three words, they’re unreliable.

Later, Lu Yuan called. Wang Baoqiang ignored Song Ji's opinion and agreed without hesitation.

He and Lu Yuan knew each other from "Soldier Assault" and have been friends for many years with a very close relationship.

Last year, "Lost in Thailand" was a huge hit, and Lu Yuan gave him an additional 1000 million yuan on top of his original salary.

So when I signed the contract with Running Man, I didn’t even look at the amount of the pay, I just signed it.

Wang Baoqiang chatted for a few words and turned around to continue filming.

Sa Beining waited for a while and then came over: "Teacher Lu, how come you have time to come here today?"

Lu Yuan nodded in the direction of Liu Shishi: "She will be joining the crew soon, spend more time with her."

"The Cliff?"

"Correct."

"That's great. I'll definitely watch it on time when it starts airing. The quality of spy war dramas in the past two years is really poor."

"Thank you. I'm just worried that everyone will be dissatisfied."

"How could that be? Your starring role won't be bad." Sa Beining complimented.

I saw Liu Shishi looking at this side furtively not far away, and then she and Jing Tian got into the RV.

He asked, "Teacher Lu, you two have known each other for seven or eight years, right?"

"Ah."

"This relationship is really enviable." Sa Beining said sincerely.

Lu Yuan glanced at him and felt that his tone was not right, as if mixed with a hint of sadness. Combining it with Yao Yitian's words, he tried to test him.

"Why, you miss your daughter Ziyi, give her a call and ask her to come visit you."

Sabining shook his head and sighed.

Lu Yuan rarely saw a hint of disappointment on the face of this gifted student who was admitted to Peking University.

"Anything on your mind?"

Sa Beining pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should speak or not.

Considering Lu Yuan's personality, it seems that he has never heard him gossip about other people.

With this in mind, he told her frankly, "Teacher Lu, there is a high probability that Ziyi and I will not be together."

"No hope?" Lu Yuan frowned.

Although people in the entertainment industry are glamorous, people are divided into groups and things gather together. The circle of friends is actually very narrow, and you can only get to know people in the circle.

In this circle of fame and fortune, if you want to become famous you have to pay something. The familiar faces on the screen, those big stars, mostly have baggy lower bodies.

Take Zhang Ziyi for example. There is a lot of negative news about her. People in high positions simply look down on her and think she is unclean.

Sa Beining has a clean family background, is a CCTV host, and is not bad looking. Regardless of her financial situation, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Ziyi is the one who got a bargain.

"Yes." Since Sa Beining had spoken, he no longer hid it and continued.

"Her parents don't agree with us being together, but they are quite right. Ziyi is worth hundreds of millions, earns tens of millions for each movie she makes, and has fans all over the country and abroad. Compared to her, I am far behind. I work hard for a year and only make a few hundred thousand, which is not even as much as her in a commercial performance. We are not a good match and cannot be together."

There are beautiful women in books, but men without money are likely to be cheated on.

This is not the first time that Sa Beining’s love has been defeated by money.

His predecessor was Tu Jingwei. They were both CCTV hosts. They were a talented couple and were known as the perfect couple in the hosting industry in their early years.

As a result, in 08, a very wealthy tycoon pursued Tu Jingwei and spent real money on her.

Tu Jingwei had never seen anything like this before, so she broke up with him decisively.

After breaking up with Sa Beining, Tu Jingwei's car changed from a car worth hundreds of thousands to an imported BMW worth millions, and his residence changed from an ordinary residential area to a mansion worth tens of millions.

That winter, Sa Beining could only have sex with static electricity.

The so-called admission to Peking University is nothing compared to money.

Lu Yuan glanced sideways: "Love is ultimately a matter between two people. Does Zhang Ziyi think so too?"

"Ziyi is in a difficult situation on this matter."

"Embarrassed?"

Sa Beining was silent and said, "Ziyi cares a lot about her parents. People say she is ambitious, which is undeniable, but she has had a hard time these years.

Outsiders only know that she is an international star, but they don’t know that her original family is far worse than they imagined.

In the early years, when she was working on a film crew alone, her parents didn't ask much about her life. It was only after she became famous in the film and television industry that they remembered that they had such a daughter.

Her parents arranged for her brother Zhang Zinan, who was six years older than her, to be her agent.

Under the pretext of helping her manage assets and handle work matters, the actual purpose was to control and exploit her.

Ziyi is strong-willed outside and is aware of her family's intentions. However, as a child, as long as she has a little filial piety, she will be soft-hearted when facing her parents. In order to make the two elders happy, and probably to prove herself to them, she agreed.

But her older brother has no experience as a manager, and not only did he not bring her any benefits, he also made things difficult for her and held her back."

Lu Yuan nodded, this matter was heard by people in the circle.

A few years ago, Zhang Ziyi's poster was splashed with ink in public by a group of men in black, who also accused her of cheating people out of their money and seducing other people's husbands, thus getting her involved in the ink-throwing scandal.

Everyone was wondering whether this was a rumor or a misunderstanding.

As a result, Zhang Zinan did not find out the truth of the matter, and in a rage he sent a message full of insults and threats to Zhao Xinyu, a friend of Zhang Ziyi in the circle.

Who is Zhao Xinyu? She is the most famous socialite in Beijing. She has been friends with the Eagle King Fei Sunnan and others for many years and has a wide network of contacts.

Zhang Zinan ignored it and believed that she was the one spreading rumors, and the news was leaked by the media.

The fans cursed Zhao Xinyu's ancestors to the sky, and Zhao Xinyu was furious.

At the 08 Bazaar Charity Gala, she did introduce a wealthy businessman from Shanghai to Zhang Ziyi.

The wealthy businessman seemed to have gone crazy and gave Zhang Ziyi a lot of jewelry. A Tiffany necklace alone cost tens of millions. He gave her a lot of luxury goods in total.

As a result, in 09, their relationship was discovered by each other's wives.

But this matter was not revealed by Zhao Xinyu.

She was so angry that she decided to go all out and revealed everything about how the Zhang brothers and sisters had worked together in business to defraud a wealthy businessman of two hundred million yuan and how they had interfered in other people's marriages and become a mistress.

That year, Zhang Ziyi had to withdraw from the filming of "Snow Flower and Secret Fan", and even her product endorsements were abandoned.

It was not until this year that she made a complete comeback with the role of Gong Er in "The Grandmaster".

Seeing Sa Beining squatting aside and sighing, what else could Lu Yuan say? If no one wants to hold hands, then what about putting things in pockets?

He patted his shoulder and said, "Everything will be fine after Running Man is broadcast."

Seeing how confident he was, Sa Beining felt puzzled but did not ask.

Lu Yuan said to himself: "Running Man is well-known in China and has received good feedback from the audience. Most importantly, this variety show fills the gap in running variety shows in China. As the first to try it out, as long as the quality is good, it has a high chance of becoming a hit."

"Besides, this type of variety show can be made into a series. If it can become a national variety show, it won't be difficult to get tens of millions of yuan in salary per season."

"Tens of millions?" Sa Beining raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't know whether what Lu Yuan said was true or not, but a childish thought uncontrollably emerged in his mind.

If this variety show really becomes popular, it will be the biggest irony to the short-sightedness of Zhang Ziyi's parents.

He was named Sa Beining and was admitted to Peking University. He was a child of destiny.

Even if you just hang out in the entertainment industry, it is not a problem for you to be worth tens of millions.

Seeing that he suddenly became full of fighting spirit, Lu Yuan gave director Yao Yitian a look that showed he was satisfied.
