Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Of course!

If there's one thing that impressed He Weiran the most during these three months of filming, it's undoubtedly the unique working atmosphere at Huanyu, which is unlike anywhere else in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The film set operated efficiently, with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities and no waste of time or resources—this was reportedly all thanks to a producer named Monchi.

Regardless of their age, all artists are hardworking and resilient. No one would think of filming their own scenes first and taking up other people's time, nor would anyone think of adding scenes. Even if there are too many takes, they would fall into self-reproach.

Jiang Zemin's autocratic rule, while clearly distinguishing between superiors and subordinates, also possessed democratic characteristics, eliminating the unspoken rules that could arise from different levels of authority. From the script to the casting, the formation of the production team, and finally the filming and editing, everything proceeded incredibly smoothly.

This is the kind of entertainment industry working environment that He Weiran had hoped for twenty years ago.

She thought she had been stuck in the mud for twenty years and would never see it again, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and she found a new path.

The man in front of her is still so young, and it's no longer appropriate for them to be a couple. For example, during her live stream, many haters kept saying that she was old. The person who was gentle and polite in front of the camera didn't give any face to such haters.

"Sister He is 30 minus 10, which is perfect for the role of God's Love."

"My movie isn't for viewers to see a romance between an older woman and a younger man. If you're not satisfied, click the 'X' in the top left corner."

"Everyone says that male actors are in their thirties, which is their golden age. Does that mean female actors aren't in their thirties either?"

He Weiran thought to herself that she was not thirty years old at all; she was 38 this year. However, she had been getting beauty treatments for a long time and had never had plastic surgery, so her face had not collapsed.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I'm very happy to join Huanyu."

After thinking for just one minute, He Weiran gave her answer: she could still work in the Chinese entertainment industry for another twenty years, and Universe Entertainment was the company she chose for her next venture.

Xu Wenyi is currently leading a team of seven people: Nie Mingzhu, Shen Hanyi, Zhang Yangen, Wu Mingyue, and Chi Ziyou. There are two spots left, which will be reserved for amateurs trained in the "Actor Training Class".

Her main job is to mentor new actors.

He Weiran's agent is an employee of Fengmang, and did not switch companies like her.

So she was assigned to work under Ling Wushuang. The two had met many times and were already familiar with each other. They were also in the movie promotion period, so they quickly developed a good working relationship.

The people Ling Wushuang brought were quite a mixed bag.

There's no need to say more about Jiangxi Heng.

Next up are Lin Sen and Mel. These two originally had agents, but after being merged into Universe Entertainment, their agents were demoted to assistants. When asked why they agreed to this, they said it was because their brothers/friends didn't mind.

Next up was Fang Weiyang, who was sent to "My Home".

Finally, there's He Weiran.

Ling Wushuang joked, "I guess I now have both male and female artists working in film, television, and music under my command."

While "Breaking Illusions" was launching its city roadshow promotion, the neighboring film "Qin Xiaodong's Troubles" finally finished filming. Nie Mingzhu, who had been confined for more than half a year, let loose and became a trending topic as soon as filming wrapped.

The trending topic is #NieMingzhuateTenCows#.

"Are you kidding me?! I just went to a barbecue restaurant and ate a few plates of beef, how did this become such a big deal?"

This trending topic persisted until the main cast of "Breaking Through Illusions" and "Qin Xiaodong's Troubles" appeared together on the variety show "My Homeland." The two veteran MCs were still jokingly asking Nie Mingzhu, "Little Nie, do you want me to buy you some beef to eat?"

Nie Mingzhu: "..."

The show "My Homeland" has four MCs this season: the oldest is Shen Congqian, who comes from a theatrical family. He performed in stage plays when he was young and later became a famous actor. He is now semi-retired.

The second oldest is Huang Yingying, a versatile singer from the late 20th century. Due to family changes, she temporarily left the entertainment industry, but later returned to act in some dramas before becoming a regular guest on the show.

The third one is Xu Yanqing. He joined as a veteran MC in the second half of the first season. At first, netizens said, "Why add a pretty boy?" But later they found that Xu Yanqing really does more and talks less. He is also obedient and sensible, the kind of child that the older generation likes the most.

With Xu Yanqing's help, the two artists, both in their fifties, finally had their labor force.

In this season, Fang Weiyang joined the cast.

Netizens commented, "Finally, the production team has stopped abusing the elderly."

The production team: We're innocent! Where was there any mistreatment? We invited young people every episode!

The new young team consists of the main cast of "Breaking Illusions" and "Qin Xiaodong's Troubles". The day before departure, around noon, a member of the production team handed us a phone on the bus.

"You can order food from 'Homeland'. They'll go back to prepare the ingredients in the afternoon and cook in the evening. You can record until you leave next afternoon."

Without a word, Nie Mingzhu took the phone: "We can order food? Anything is fine?"

A staff member joked, "There might not be any beef."

Nie Mingzhu: So angry, she shoved the phone into Jiangxi Heng's hand.

Fans watching the live stream laughed, while uninformed viewers were confused. After being informed, they learned that Nie Mingzhu ate ten plates of beef after filming (this needs to be verified) and became a trending topic.

Jiangxi Heng asked He Weiran and Shen Hanyi if they had any dietary restrictions.

Female celebrities have quite a few dietary restrictions.

The two of them rattled off a whole bunch of dishes one after another, just like reciting a menu.

"There are many things I don't eat, like pig's heart, lamb liver, duck intestines..."

"I don't eat shrimp, I don't eat fish, and crabs? No, no, no, no..."

Jiangxi Heng summarized: "So, one of you doesn't eat offal, and the other doesn't eat seafood?"

The two people who were reciting the menu stopped abruptly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Nie Mingzhu, standing to the side, said, "Then you've missed out on too many good things."

Jiangxi Heng didn't ask Nie Mingzhu if she had any dietary restrictions; this person can eat anything.

Instead, the staff asked Jiangxi Heng, "Xiheng, we've asked everyone, is there anything you can't eat?"

The things Jiangxi Heng can't eat are a niche group in China, like that sticky natto.

He is unlikely to be seen in China.

"I know what Jiangxi Heng doesn't like to eat, onions! He couldn't eat dishes with onions when he was a child."

Jiangxi Heng glanced at Nie Mingzhu, his heart filled with turmoil.

Nie Mingzhu was saying that the original owner of this body couldn't eat onions.

As a person of mixed Chinese and French descent, Jiangxi Heng has been exposed to onions, a foreign ingredient, since childhood. How could he not eat them?

For example, the vegetable soup I ate as a child always had chopped onions in it.

There's also apple salad with shredded onions, fried onions, onion meat rolls... things he's eaten since he was a child.

The person who couldn't eat onions was his French father.

Jiangxi Heng shouted to 4399: "Do I really have no relationship with the original owner of this body?"

This guess is too far-fetched.

4399 was dumbfounded: [The host means that the original owner went to your world and became your dad?]

Jiangxi Heng couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Foreign names often have a high degree of overlap, and it's not uncommon for fathers and sons to share the same name.

His French father's name is Elias Martin, and Jin is his Chinese mother's surname.

His foreign name is his mother's surname, and includes his father's given name.
