The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 689 Returning to Beijing
Beijing, Capital Airport.

The haze filled the sky, as if wrapped in a huge piece of gray silk, making it look particularly dull and depressing.

"Oh, the smog is getting worse and worse." Zheng Qian covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

Beside Zheng Qian, Lu Yuan looked up at the sky and subconsciously touched the mask on his face.

The trip to Thailand ended successfully and the group returned to China today. The flight from Bangkok to Beijing took four hours.

Xu Weifeng returned to the Magic City, and Lu Jing followed him to Beijing to rest for a few days.

She has been very busy recently, flying all over the country.

I have to fly to New York in a few days to watch several American TV series including "Game of Thrones" introduced by HBO.

Lu Jing was a person who always looked down at his phone. Occasionally, he would look up at the gray sky and agree with the people.

"The smog in Beijing is particularly severe this year. I heard from colleagues in the northeast that there is also large-scale smog weather in their area. In some places, the visibility is less than 500 meters, and in some places it is even less than 10 meters."

"It would be nice if it rained now." Lu Yuan pulled the suitcase.

The word "smog" has only been in the public eye for a few short years.

In 2008, the Beijing Olympic Games was held and air quality attracted much attention. In 2011, professional terms such as "haze" and "PM2.5" began to truly enter people's lives.

It was not until January this year that my country's Ministry of Environmental Protection officially included fine particulate matter into the air monitoring system, and the capital city thus began its journey to control smog.

As the three of them walked forward, Lu Yuan remained alert to his surroundings, especially the reporters who were everywhere.

At some point, he paused and was bumped.

He turned his head and looked at his cousin, and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Can you watch your way?"

Lu Jing rubbed his forehead, which was hurt by the collision, and did not answer. Instead, he talked about another matter: "Brother, Zhuo Wei exposed Yu Dong about the Peacock Princess giving birth."

"What the hell, Zhuo Wei dares to expose Fatty Yu's secrets?"

Lu Yuan was puzzled, but after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "It's probably Jin Qiaoqiao who secretly paid for it."

Before they went to Thailand, the news that the Peacock Princess, also known as Jin Qiaoqiao, had given birth to a daughter in the hospital spread like wildfire.

There has been a lot of discussion online about who the child's biological father is, but there is still no conclusion.

In fact, people in the circle have long known that Jin Qiaoqiao had been hooking up with Yu Dong two years ago.

It was just that Yu Dong had given notice in advance, and due to the other party's identity as the president of Bona Film Group, no one dared to offend him easily.

Furthermore, as a behind-the-scenes big shot in the entertainment industry, Yu Dong's popularity and topic value cannot be compared with those of entertainment stars.

Even if his information is exposed, it may not attract the attention of netizens, which is not worth the loss.

Lu Yuan guessed that this time, most likely, Jin Qiaoqiao wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to force Yu Dong to give her a status and officially take the position.

"He must have stuffed money into it." Lu Jingshen nodded in agreement.

"Zhuo Wei is not stupid. He can't afford to offend Yu Dong's background. I guess Jin Qiaoqiao made some promise to him. This time she might really become the boss lady of Bona."

"But then again, Jin Qiaoqiao is not a simple person. Yu Dong is not a pushover either. He cheated on his wife a lot in his last marriage, and the people who were exposed included Yuan Li and others. Did he make a mistake this time and get trapped by Jin Qiaoqiao?"

"Maybe." Lu Yuan said.

He knew that in addition to Yuan Li and Jin Qiaoqiao, there was also a female artist named Jiang who had an ambiguous relationship with Yu Dong.

In fact, neither Yu Dong nor Jin Qiaoqiao are good people.

One of them became successful and abandoned his wife, while the other did everything he could to curry favor with someone powerful.

It’s a pity that Yuan Li did not speak out, otherwise this drama would definitely be even more exciting.

I remember that Yuan Li and Yu Dong showed off their love in public at major film festivals and other public occasions, and squeezed out the original wife with her "means" and "strength".

For a time, the scenery is infinite.

But now it seems that it was just a waste of time to prepare wedding dresses for Jin Qiaoqiao.

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is playing in the living room.

Yaoyao is trying to intimidate her stinky brother.

"Qiqi, uncles in the countryside raise goats for their meat, not because they are as cute and smart as in Pleasant Goat."

"Yeah!" Zhou Qi bit into a bottle of Wang Wang crushed ice, listened carefully, and nodded repeatedly.

Yaoyao continued her popular science: "By the same token, we raise chickens to eat chicken, we raise ducks to eat duck meat, and we raise calves to eat beef."

"I know that raising piglets is also for eating pork." Zhou Qi drew inferences from one example.

"Yes." Yaoyao patted his head with satisfaction, rolled her eyes, and asked cunningly: "Then do you know why your parents raised you?"

Qiqi paused in sucking the crushed ice, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and slowly turned her gaze to her mother on the balcony, with a worried look on her face.

Lu Jia had no idea what her son was thinking. She was chatting with Liu Shishi and talking about private matters in the boudoir.

The washing machine purred.

Soon the washing machine stopped. Lu Jiaqi took out the clothes and shook them vigorously. The pink fluff danced in the sunlight.

She was just about to continue the topic with Liu Shishi, but saw Qiqi running over sobbing, hugging her thighs tightly and crying loudly.

"Mom, you and Dad don't eat clay pot rice, right? Don't eat clay pot rice, I will be good, woo woo woo."

"What clay pot rice?" Lu Jia was confused.

Qiqi cried and explained: "Sister said you raised me to eat clay pot rice, wuwuwu, please don't eat me."

After hearing this, Lu Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What a silly son.

Turning my head again, I saw my daughter lying on her back on the sofa, holding crushed ice in one hand, her right leg resting on her left knee, her white and tender feet dangling back and forth, looking very comfortable.

That lazy look made Lu Jia so angry that she couldn't help but complain like an old mother.

"This girl is either eating or playing all day long. No one eats faster than her. She studies very hard. She goes to cram school and asks for leave every few days. When she has a break, she watches TV. I've never seen her read a book seriously."

"Yaoyao is still young. It will be fine once she enters junior high school." Liu Shishi comforted her with a smile.

Lu Jia glanced at her and joked, "Why do you have the same tone as Xiao Yuan? He also said that. Does it mean that once you enter junior high school, it will become fine once you enter high school?"

Liu Shishi was speechless.

Lu Jia sighed and said, "If she is really stupid and can't learn, it's fine. The key is that teachers of various subjects say that she has a brain, but she just doesn't use it in studying. Students who are smarter than her work harder than her, but she just plays around all day."

Liu Shishi didn't know how to persuade her. She had never given birth to a child and had no idea how to raise a child.

She herself is a poor student and she only thinks that as long as the child is happy, it doesn’t matter whether he can learn or not. There is always something he likes. Just find the right direction and cultivate him carefully.

Yaoyao pricked up her ears, and when she heard her old mother slandering her, she immediately retorted.

"Mom, the teacher lied to you. Think about it, people who are smarter than me are working hard, so what's the point of me working hard? The gap will only get bigger and bigger. I can't catch up anyway, so it's better not to catch up in the first place."

Liu Shishi was stunned when she heard this, but she actually felt that what she said made some sense.

"You want to piss me off to death!" Lu Jia Lu Jia was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to beat her up. It was useless. This girl was really ruined.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Stop eating and go open the door."

"Oh." As long as Yaoyao is not allowed to study, she will be very well behaved. She is very happy to hear the noise and runs to open the door quickly. The golden retriever behind her sticks out its tongue and wags its tail happily.

"Uncle! Uncle is back!" she shouted excitedly.

Lu Yuan stood outside the door with a smile on his face. He ruffled his niece's hair into a messy shape, pinched her chubby cheeks, and looked her over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I haven't seen you for a few days, you've gained weight again."

Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Humph, uncle is lying, he is not fat."

Lu Yuan held a mysterious bag in his hand and shook it gently: "Guess what treasure this is?"

Yaoyao didn't guess. She was no longer a child who was so easily fooled. She rustled twice and licked her lips, "Big crab."

There is a saying among the people that "nine females and ten males", which means that the female crabs in the ninth month of the lunar calendar have plump roe, while the male crabs in the tenth month have delicious roe.

But in August, crabs have gradually entered their maturity period.

Especially the male crabs’ roe starts to become fuller and the meat becomes more delicious. Now is the right time to eat crabs.

Liu Shishi suddenly appeared in the field of vision, bringing with her a gust of fragrant wind, and jumped in front of him, saying happily: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back, so that I could pick you up."

"What's there to pick up? I haven't been gone for a few days. Yaoyao, go to the kitchen and get a bucket to hold the crabs."

"Okay." Yaoyao ran to the kitchen excitedly.

Lu Yuan changed his shoes, looked around the living room, saw Qiqi crying, and was too lazy to ask, so he collapsed on the sofa.

"Ouch, I'm so tired."

I got up very early to catch a flight to Bangkok. There was a strange noise from the cabinet last night and I didn’t sleep well.

"Where did you buy the crabs?" After hanging up the clothes, Lu Jia looked at her daughter who was playing with crabs with her butt sticking out.

"On the way back, I saw a vendor selling crabs on the roadside. They looked pretty big, so I bought a few pounds to try. Let's have crabs for lunch."

“Steamed or braised?”

"Steamed."

"."

Since he had nothing to do, Lu Yuan was enjoying Liu Shishi's massage while teasing his niece: "Yaoyao, is the drumstick the tastiest part of the chicken?"

"Ah."

"Then by the same token, are duck legs the tastiest part of a duck?"

"Ah."

“Do you know why legs are the most delicious?”

Zhou Yaoyao blinked, unable to answer, and shook her head.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Because of exercise. Regular exercise makes the meat delicious."

Yaoyao nodded as if she understood, and looked at her own thick legs and white arms.

"So what's so delicious about crabs?" Lu Yuan asked again.

"Crab legs." Yaoyao answered quickly.

Lu Yuan immediately showed a teachable expression on his face: "Then when we eat crabs later, the most delicious crab legs will be left to you, and the other unpalatable parts will be taken care of by us adults."

"Pfft." Liu Shishi suddenly realized what this guy was planning. She leaned her head on his shoulder, stared at Yaoyao, wanting to hear her answer.

Yaoyao frowned, feeling that her uncle was treating her like a fool. Although she was not so smart sometimes, crab legs had no meat.

With this thought in mind, she started to think, "No, I'm grown up now, not a child anymore. I can't always eat the best food. Leave the crab legs to my uncle and leave the rest to me."

"Ah, this." Lu Yuan was surprised. After not seeing him for a few days, did he get a new brain?
"Hahaha." Liu Shishi laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Brother-in-law Zhou Mingyuan happened to open the door and come in.

Lu Yuan repeated what Yaoyao had just said, which made him laugh out loud, and he kept praising his daughter for being so smart.

Zhou Mingyuan's dark circles became more and more obvious.

Since the mobile game "League of Legends" was launched, facing the millions of online players, a large number of small problems that had never been discovered in the game before have been exposed.

These days, he and his studio team have been keeping an eye on the data day and night, working overtime to fix bugs.

Zhou Mingyuan sat down on the sofa and said with a smile: "Xiaoyuan, this game is really popular. The total number of players has reached 3900 million, and the daily active users are stable at around 500 million, and it is still rising!"

"Oh?" Lu Yuan sat up straight and became interested.

On the day when "My Love from the Star" was released, relying on the influence of TV series, it was instantly pushed into the vision of tens of millions of viewers.

The female audience group quickly converted into female players.

They then teamed up with their girlfriends or boyfriends to play the game, and in a short period of time, the game became famous.

The number of active users on the first day reached an astonishing 750 million. Even though it declined in the following days, it still remained stable at 400 million daily active users.

Such data performance undoubtedly proves its status as a hit.

But the launch of the game was not without negative news.

The accusations on the Internet that "League of Legends" copied skills and imitated the gameplay of "League of Legends" have never stopped.

The chain of contempt in the gaming world seems to have extended to this game as well.

From "StarCraft" to "Warcraft", to "Dota" and "League of Legends", "League of Legends" is unfortunately at the very end of this chain.

But for the vast majority of players, "League of Legends" is still a game full of freshness.

After all, there aren’t many female players who actually play League of Legends.

In addition, compared to "League of Legends", the operation of "King of Glory" is simpler and the graphics are more refined.

It is particularly worth mentioning that this mobile game also cleverly incorporates heroic characters familiar to many players.

Most of the 32 heroes introduced in the early stage of the game are based on Chinese historical figures, such as Wang Zhaojun, Zhuang Zhou, Sun Shangxiang, Di Renjie, Bian Que, etc.

These famous figures in legends or history are not only easy for players to remember and accept, but also build a unique and rich worldview for the entire game.

Since its launch, "League of Legends" has topped the mobile game download list for several consecutive days, and its influence is evident.

Zhou Mingyuan said confidently: "If this trend continues, when we launch two character heroes and skins linked with My Love from the Star, even if the payment rate is only one-tenth, our turnover will easily exceed 100 million."

"In fact, the enthusiasm of these female players for the professor and Song Yiren far exceeded our expectations. The number of votes in the game alone reached 2000 million."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. Just by selling two skins, the revenue could exceed 100 million. Are mobile games so profitable?

Zhou Mingyuan smiled when he saw this. This was still his lowest estimate. Mobile games make money by selling skins.

He couldn't help but sigh, the linkage between film, television and games is a genius idea.

When the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" is released, the launch of Sun Wukong and related skins for marketing will bring in another huge amount of money.

“How is the progress of The Return of the Great Sage?”

"I can start dubbing after a while."
