I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 86 Returning to Beijing and the New Movie
Cheng Sheng exchanged a few pleasantries with him, and then Liu Yifei offered her blessings.

"Director Cheng, I wish you continued success in your future creative journey, leading Chinese films to the international stage..."

Cheng Sheng suppressed a laugh; he had a feeling that Liu Yifei was reciting lines.

"Mom, can I stop studying?"

Suddenly, Cheng Sheng heard Liu Yifei complaining to Liu Xiaoli, clearly she couldn't continue reading either.

"You silly girl, is it so hard for you to say something nice?"

"Mom, this is so awkward."

"Feeling awkward? I think you've eaten too much. I'll teach you a lesson."

"What? The phone call is still going on! Director Cheng heard it."

"Ugh...you brat..."

"Director Cheng, I'm sorry, Yifei is young and doesn't know any better..."

"It's nothing... Pfft!"

Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh; he hadn't expected Liu Yifei to have this side to her.

It's worth noting that Liu Yifei is a goddess in the hearts of countless people. In front of the camera, she is untouched by worldly dust, fresh and refined, just like a fairy who stepped out of a game.

But her actions just now shattered the goddess image that Cheng Sheng had of Liu Yifei.

After finishing his call with Su Chang, Cheng Shenggang put his phone back in his pocket.

Ring ring ring!
The phone rang again.

Upon seeing that the caller was Zeng Li, Cheng Sheng immediately answered the phone: "Sister Li, Happy New Year."

"Director Cheng, Happy New Year! Hope I haven't bothered you!"

Zeng Li said.

“No problem, Sister Li, you’re being so polite with me. Don’t call me Director Cheng, just call me A-Sheng or Xiao Cheng,” Cheng Sheng said.

“Then I’ll call you Asheng. When will you be back after the New Year?” Zeng Li asked.

"Let's celebrate the Lantern Festival! I'll treat you to a meal when we get back to the capital!"

"Then I'll wait for you."

Cheng Sheng and Zeng Li chatted for a few minutes when another phone call interrupted their conversation.

"Excuse me, Sister Li, Mr. Han called me. Let's talk another time."

"okay bye."

"Hey, Mr. Han, Happy New Year! I was planning to call you to wish you a Happy New Year! I didn't expect you to call me first."

"Haha, Xiao Cheng, Happy New Year..."

An hour later.

Cheng Sheng ended his call with a bitter expression.

Since Su Chang called him, nearly twenty people have called to wish him a Happy New Year.

Zeng Li, Han Sanye, Fu Dalong, Zheng Guolin, Zhang Yang and Teacher Yang Chao, Qiao Shan, Liu Duanduan, Wang Zhi, Bai Baihe, and others.

He's almost numb from answering so many phone calls.

These people all had a good relationship with him, and they were calling to wish him a Happy New Year, so he couldn't just ignore them!

After dealing with Bai Baihe, no one else should be calling him anymore, since he's already called every acquaintance he knows.

However, Cheng Sheng himself still needs to call other people to wish them a Happy New Year.

"Principal, Happy New Year! May your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea, and may your life be as beautiful as the flowers blooming year after year!"

After getting through to Principal Xu Xiaozhong, Cheng Sheng smiled and offered his blessings.

"Xiao Cheng! I also wish you a Happy New Year. The recent online comments have been very detrimental to you. Do you want me to step in and help you?"

"No need. They're just clowns. The more fiercely we curse them now, the harder we'll slap them in the face later."

"Haha, good, this is the kind of good student that our Central Academy of Drama has cultivated. Temporary honor or disgrace is nothing. Only those who laugh last are the winners. I'll sit back and wait to see the show."

“Principal, I’ll be back at school after the New Year. We’ll be holding auditions for the new movie. If anyone in the school wants to audition, tell them to read about the history of the Three Kingdoms. It will be very helpful for them.”

"Reading history? Xiao Cheng, this audition you came up with is really novel. Don't worry, I'll have someone pass on the message in a bit."

"By the way, Principal, if the audition goes well, the new movie will start filming in April. It would be best if the school's investment of five million was transferred to the production team's account in March. I will send the account number to your phone then."

Cheng Sheng, being so supportive of the Central Academy of Drama, reciprocated by allocating a share of his new film to the academy. Although the share was small, the return was substantial. And with the money Cheng Sheng had previously donated to the school, a five million investment was a minor matter for the Central Academy of Drama.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone take care of it after the New Year, so it won't delay your turn-on time."

"..."

End the call with Third Master Han.

Cheng Sheng was really afraid that someone would call him again and prevent him from watching the Spring Festival Gala with his parents.

I turned off my phone without thinking, then went back to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala with my parents.

Even after the Spring Festival Gala ended, Cheng Sheng's parents were still sleepy, so he finally persuaded them to go back to their room to rest.

Cheng Sheng tidied up the living room and then went back to his bedroom to rest.

The next day.

First grade of junior high school.

Cheng Sheng woke up.

After washing up, I turned my phone back on and saw a lot of missed calls.

Looking at the caller ID, he realized that none of the numbers were ones he recognized. Clearly, someone had obtained his number through other channels and was calling to try and establish a relationship.

Cheng Sheng did not return the call, but instead opened the QQ group.

I noticed that people had already sent messages in the group early this morning, all of them New Year's greetings.

Cheng Sheng also casually sent a New Year's greeting to the group.

Instantly, people in the group kept replying, wishing Cheng Sheng a Happy New Year.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Sheng had no choice but to exchange messages with everyone for a few minutes before finally putting down his phone after being called by his mother.

finish breakfast.

Cheng Sheng went with his father to a temple in the mountains and offered incense to the gods there.

The deity in the temple was created by the villagers themselves. This deity is not a famous person, but a former celebrity in the village who made great contributions to the village, which is why he was worshipped as a deity by the villagers after his death.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, villagers come here early in the morning to burn incense and pray for the gods to bless Chengjia Village with peace and safety.

After offering incense, Cheng Sheng returned home with his father.

Then, in the second year of junior high school, I started visiting relatives with my father.

It wasn't until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that I managed to visit all my relatives.

Of course, the family also hosted relatives who came to wish them a Happy New Year.

Time flies.

The Lantern Festival ended quickly.

Cheng Sheng is finally going back to Beijing to start working on his new movie.

Back to my new home in the capital.

Cheng Sheng notified everyone in the studio to have Liu Meng help with preparations for the new film.

It must be said that the establishment of his personal studio solved many of Cheng Sheng's problems, and some behind-the-scenes work could be handed over to them.

With his own behind-the-scenes team, Cheng Sheng was able to focus on preparing for the actor auditions.

Three days after returning, the script had been approved, and Cheng Sheng also posted the requirements for casting the new movie online.

Audition requirements for "The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Kingdoms": Must be well-versed in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
