Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 214 Be fair!
"Huh? Why is it so quiet?"

When Zhen Jiecheng woke up from his nap, he was stunned after a quick wash.

So I walked out of the bedroom and saw Cheng Hao sitting in the living room working.

The light yellow sweater matches her rosy face perfectly.

The buttocks that became fuller after giving birth squeezed the solid wooden chair, making the slim-fit trousers look like an amazing curve.

She has a dignified expression and a dignified sitting posture, exuding the temperament of a good family from the inside out.

Wait, something's wrong.

A little too good, too good!

Zhen Jiecheng subconsciously looked at the screen window.

The sunlight came through the screen window and hit Cheng Hao's face.

The position of the desk lamp has changed!
It just plays the role of fill light.

Hiss, the lighting arrangement effectively utilizes natural light. Although the techniques used are very basic, the combination is very reasonable and there is almost no fault to be found.

Combined with her makeup, outfit, and posture. Shit! What is this woman trying to do by doing this at home?
"Jie Cheng, are you awake?"

"Old Chen had something urgent to do and just left. He won't be back until the evening."

Cheng Hao's words interrupted Zhen Jiecheng's thoughts.

"Come, come, sit down, I'll pour you some herbal tea!"

Is this a new plot?
Who is Lao Chen?

Zhen Jiecheng reacted immediately and sat down to cooperate, wanting to see what this woman was up to.

"ah!"

Cheng Hao suddenly exclaimed.

He waited for Zhen Jiecheng to come over, turned around, stumbled, and bumped into him.

The herbal tea in the cup was also accurately poured onto his lower abdomen.

"Look at you. You're already a grown-up, but why are you still so irritable?"

"Can't you see I'm pouring tea? And you're still trying to squeeze in!"

Cheng Hao frowned and complained,

"A good pair of pants, all wet."

As he spoke, he patted his trousers. The already thin material seemed even more transparent due to the spreading water stains, making the black hollow lace inside even more conspicuous.

"Why are you still standing there? Help me dry it."

"You caused it, you are responsible!"

"Ah? Oh!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

Just wipe it!
Up and down, left and right, front and back.

Zhen Jiecheng was having a lot of fun wiping it.

"Can you wipe it or not?"

"Hiss, where are you wiping?"

"The more I wipe it, the wetter it gets!"

Cheng Hao's face flushed.
With eyes blurred and lips bitten,

"Forget it, I can't wear these pants anymore."

"Hmm~"

Cheng Hao, who was holding onto the sofa, tilted his head back, bent his waist, and let out a muffled groan.

In the evening, the four elders pushed the stroller back to the villa.

Zhen Hao was lying inside. When he saw Cheng Hao, he waved his chubby little hands and was very active.

Zhen Jiecheng lay on the sofa with drooping eyelids, looking even more listless in sharp contrast with his son.

"Baby, do you miss your mother?"

Cheng Hao picked up his son and gave him a kiss. Seeing his son grinning and giggling, he teased him more vigorously.

"Cheng Hao, come here!"

Cheng's mother called out from the kitchen.

"Come on~"

"What's wrong, mom? Is something wrong?"

Mother Cheng did not answer, but winked in the direction of the sofa.

"Is Jiecheng tired?"

"Yeah!" Cheng Hao nodded.

Things are different now. Now that the child is born, Cheng Hao has long let go of his biological mother.

"Mom, you're going to have a hard time in the next few years!"

"I plan to get pregnant with my second child before the end of the year. I want to have two more while I'm still young so that I can get back into shape after giving birth."

"Oh, by the way, Mom, let's make a seafood dish for Jiecheng tonight! Mom, you know what I mean!"

Although the new version is easy to use, you should use it sparingly to avoid aesthetic fatigue.

Cheng Hao understands this truth very well!

At the same time, as an outstanding graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, I always remember the motto of my alma mater: truth-seeking, creativity, and beauty.

Cheng Hao did it!
Strive for authenticity.

Be innovative.

Until perfection.

Not only did he not slack off in honing his acting skills, he also crossed over to the screenwriting profession, and got involved in lighting, props, editing in post-production, and so on!

It will truly greatly improve the comprehensiveness of artistic cultivation.

In this regard, Zhen Jiecheng is tired but happy.

It wasn't until the release of "Taken" was approaching that my busy life came to a halt.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Taiwan!

The publicity and promotion has been fully launched.

Even if Zhen Jiecheng had the ability to clone himself, he wouldn't have enough time to run all the way.

What's more, there is Korea, Japan and the most important voting base: the United States.

Chen Long specially took a leave from "The Forbidden Kingdom" and kept working non-stop at the age of 53. In the afternoon, he was recording a talk show in the United States, and in the evening, he appeared in an open-air promotional event. Yesterday, he appeared in Xinxiang, and the next day he flew to the West Coast to perform a set of drunken boxing.

Zhen Jiecheng couldn't help but feel ashamed of his lazy behavior.

"Jiecheng, don't worry! I have already comforted the mother and daughter, and prepared a press release in advance." "Even if there are paparazzi interviews later, she knows how to answer!"

The existence of Little Dragon Girl is a topic that cannot be avoided. Chen Long’s approach is to highlight the conflict and focus it on the conflict between him and Wu Qili.

Zhen Jiecheng didn't know what price Chen Long paid for this, so that Wu Qili could learn to say the right things.

Zhen Jiecheng didn't plan to understand the details. After all, as long as the operation is done properly, black and red are also red!

"Well, thank you for your hard work, brother."

"It's not hard, it's not hard! As long as the movie is successful, I'm willing to work myself to death." Chen Long panted and stammered, "Well, Jiecheng, I'm a little unsure."

"How about you give me some more encouragement?"

"Come on?" Zhen Jiecheng was happy, "Okay!"

“Die Hard 6 will be released on June 27th.”

"June 6th, it's Ratatouille."

"On July 7, DreamWorks' Transformers is released."

"July 7th, it's Warner's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

"On August 8, Universal will release Jason Bourne 3."

"August."

"Stop, stop, stop! Jiecheng, stop reciting. My heart can't take it!" Chen Long said with a bitter face, "Are you trying to encourage me? If you want to send me to the ICU, just do it directly. I'll call an ambulance in advance."

"Hahaha! Big brother, that's not necessary!" Zhen Jiecheng laughed, "You've been through so many ups and downs over the years, why are you still so timid?"

"Don't worry! The quality of the movie is there!"

"It doesn't matter whether we can beat these opponents or not. What matters is how much meat we can eat and whether we can get enough to eat."

"Then can we eat enough?" Chen Long asked.

"That depends on how big your appetite is!" Zhen Jiecheng looked at the calendar and turned a few pages.

On July 7, "Taken" was officially released.

On the 4th, Chen Long, who had just returned to Hong Kong from the United States, ignored the fatigue of the journey and flew to Beijing without stopping after finishing the Hong Kong premiere.

"Boss Han! You're worried!"

"No, no, no, it's all my responsibility." Facing Chen Long's gratitude, Han Shanping waved his hands and did not take credit for it.

Even though China Film Corporation took great pains for "Taken", not only did it organize the domestic premiere ceremony, it also deliberately postponed the release dates of "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" to avoid direct competition between the two and "Taken".

The premiere was a huge success, but no matter how lively it was, it couldn't fill the emptiness in Chen Long's heart.

After "Taken" was released nationwide, she went straight into Zhen Jiecheng's office, as if she could find solace and comfort in this way.

"Brother, stop flipping, you've flipped it hundreds of times!"

"Hey, I'm just watching it because I'm bored." Without even looking up, Chen Long continued to read the relevant reviews of the previews and premieres at home and abroad.

Compared with the polarized media reviews of the previous life, Zhen Jiecheng's adaptation is obviously much better.

The highlights are more prominent and the praises received are more.

The weak spots were made up, especially the "brainless" heroine.

So the criticism is mainly focused on the fact that "the film has no depth". But the problem is that this is a popcorn movie, and it doesn't need any depth!
So the criticism from the so-called American professional media is just for listening and not to be taken seriously.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Enter!"

"Director Zhen! Brother Long! The first wave of word-of-mouth has come out, and the audiences all say that it is very enjoyable to watch!"

Chen Long's assistant was particularly excited.
"It's not just in China! It's the same in America!"

"Neighbors haven't asked yet, but Korea has already applauded!"

"Everyone says this is a very special action movie! It's very unlike Chen Long, but also very Chen Long!"

Hearing this, Chen Long was very happy. He paced and turned in circles.

"Okay, big brother, stop wandering around! Go back to the hotel and rest. I'm going home to sleep too."

"Go home? Go home to what?" Chen Long grabbed Zhen Jiecheng's arm without thinking, "Come on, come back to the hotel with me today! We'll sleep in the same room!"

"Ah?" Zhen Jiecheng was dumbfounded.

"What? Don't worry, the room I booked is very big, with more than one bedroom. The soundproofing is also very good, so even if I snore it won't affect your sleep."

Zhen Jiecheng didn’t know whether Chen Long snored or not.

What Zhen Jiecheng knew clearly was that no matter how good the soundproofing measures were, they couldn’t prevent someone from knocking on the door!
"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Jie Cheng, look!"

Chen Long was filled with joy as he handed over a stack of documents that still smelled of clear ink.

Zhen Jiecheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned over.

These are the ratings and translated reviews from the three major American rating websites, namely: Rotten Tomatoes, MTC, and IMDB.

"Jie Cheng, the freshness index and popcorn index of Rotten Tomatoes are both very good, especially the popcorn index!"

The former, 88, is the score given by professional film critics, while the latter, 93, is the evaluation of ordinary audiences.

This score is indeed quite high for a movie that has just been released. No, it is very high!
"Brother Long, did you buy it?" Zhen Jiecheng asked subconsciously.

"Yes, I bought it!" Chen Long was very frank, "but I only bought a little bit, not much, mainly focusing on the freshness index."

"Jiecheng, what's that look in your eyes?"

"I bought it for fairness!" Chen Long said confidently, "They all bought it. If I don't buy it, then I will lose money, right?"

Well, that's fucking fair! That's fucking Hollywood!

Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"Brother Long, I have to criticize you!"

"If you do this, you will destroy the market balance!"

"Look, the freshness index is only 88. How can 88 be considered fair enough?"

"Jiecheng, what do you mean..." Chen Long leaned his head closer.

"It should at least be over 90! Also," Zhen Jiecheng tapped the file, "Brother Long, isn't it unfair to ordinary audiences that you focus on the professional media's ratings?"

"You are so wrong! Especially in America, discrimination is against the law!"

"You're right! Jiecheng, thank you for reminding me!" Chen Long smiled happily, "I'll go and brush up the popcorn index right now, emmm, to be fair!"

"and many more!"

"What's wrong, Jiecheng?" Chen Long asked puzzledly.

"MTC and IMDB want fairness too!"
