A great director who grew up happily

Accompanied by the muffled sound of crackling and popping, Chen Jinnian actually made a pot of popcorn.

"Brother, let me taste it quickly." Zhao Jinmai urged

"Don't be impatient." He held the lid of the pot with one hand and shook the iron pot with the other to ensure that the corn kernels were fully heated. "Didn't you hear the movement inside? If I open the lid now, everything will fall apart."

"How long will that take?"

"It should be soon, just wait."

Although Chen Jinnian did not open the lid, the unique fragrance produced by the exploding corn kernels had attracted everyone's attention, including Huang Lei who was cooking. He came out of the house and waited by the stove in the yard.

The sound of the explosion gradually became smaller, until the two sporadic sounds disappeared, and Chen Jinnian put the iron pot on the ground.

As soon as you open the lid of the pot, the aroma fills the air.

"This is made with butter and it smells really good." Chen Jinnian exclaimed. He originally wanted to use corn oil, but after Huang Lei's reminder, he changed to butter, which is more fragrant.

Zhao Jinmai simply reached out and grabbed a handful of steaming popcorn, stuffing it into her mouth. This was the most delicious thing she had eaten in recent days.

"Can you be more ladylike?" Chen Jinnian said with a frown as he looked at her eating. "I don't expect you to be an idol in the future, but at least don't go straight for acting."

In response to his complaints, Zhao Jinmai confidently directed the criticism at Peng Peng.

"My eating manners are already very civilized. You didn't see how he ate."

Peng Peng, who was called, smiled awkwardly, and his hand that was about to take the popcorn stopped in mid-air.

"Haha, it's mainly because Teacher Huang Lei cooks delicious food. Brother Jinnian, let me try the popcorn you made."

Chen Jinnian's face straightened, "Brother, you can't call me brother, you are several years older than me."

"what."

Peng Peng was shocked. He always felt that since Chen Jinnian could be so close to Teacher Huang Lei, he was obviously his senior, so it should be okay to politely call him "Brother".

He hurriedly looked up and asked Teacher He for help.

"Peng Peng, I remember you were born in 94, so you are indeed a few years older." He Ling gave him an affirmative answer.

"Ah, then I am of the same generation as Mr. Huang Lei."

Huang Lei's face darkened, and he wanted to hit him with his slippers. "You unlucky kid, you've only been here for two days and you're already my peer. When you start recording the next season, do you want me to call you brother?"

After Peng Peng realized how outrageous what he had just said was, he laughed himself to death and trotted out of Huang Lei's attack range.

The film and television industry is market-oriented, but at the same time it still retains a considerable amount of big brother culture, emphasizing circles and personal relationships. With Peng Peng's current qualifications, he can only call Huang Lei a teacher.

Only when Peng Peng wins the Best Actor award, becomes a first-line actor, or starts his own company and becomes the boss, and has the right to speak, can he call Huang Lei "brother".

He Ling stood by and watched the fun. Huang Lei himself attached great importance to these things. Not only could he not call people by random names, he couldn't even call Lei Lei by his nickname.

There are only two people who dare to call Huang Lei "Lei Lei" in front of him, one is Huang Bo and the other is Hong Lei.

After Huang Lei caught Peng Peng and gave him a beating of love, He Ling acted as a peacemaker and came out to clean up the mess.

"Okay, it's getting dark, let's hurry up and cook."

"I'll let you go for now and talk to you tonight." Huang Lei said this and hurried back to the kitchen to check if the fire in the stove was still burning.

The dinner in the evening was very sumptuous, but everyone was a person who had eaten and seen it before, and had tried all kinds of delicious food. The praise was just to show support and create a show effect.

Li Xiaoran, who received the most praise, took a chopstick of each dish, ate half a bowl of rice, and then stopped eating.

Pan Yueming, who ordered a braised beef feast, only ate two slices of beef before his assistant outside the camera frantically reminded him not to eat any more.

Chen Jinnian was very hungry, but he really couldn't eat with so many people watching.

The last recording was not so outrageous, but this time the crew plus the two artists' teams, a total of thirty or forty people, surrounded the entire pavilion.

If Peng Peng and He Ling hadn't performed beyond expectations, a lot of food would have been wasted.

After everyone finished recording and came out of the pavilion, a car stopped at the door of the backyard and several staff members opened the trunk to distribute things.

"Thank you, Mr. He, for the coffee."

The sharp-eyed stagehand quickly called out, and then everyone else followed suit, applauding and expressing their gratitude.

Yu Hua was a little confused and asked Chen Jinnian quietly, "What is this for?"

"According to the crew's rules, the lead actor will treat everyone to drinks every day. Some new actors will also treat everyone to drinks."

This is the unspoken rule in the industry, but Chen Jinnian disagrees. In his opinion, a cup of coffee costs more than ten or twenty yuan, so instead of distributing it two or three times a day, it is better to convert it into a bonus.

He did the same thing in the crew. Members received monthly subsidies, so there was no need to win people's hearts in this way.

"Should we invite you then?"

"No, we're flying guests and we're leaving tomorrow, so we don't need a treat. Besides, Teacher Huang Lei and Teacher He Ling have obviously booked the entire day and night, so they don't need anyone else to treat us."

After a while, He Ling brought a few cups of coffee and handed them to Chen Jinnian and Yu Hua personally.

"The mushroom house is in a very simple condition, please bear with me."

"Teacher He, you're too polite. When Yidi went to record the show before the New Year, it was thanks to your care. When I'm free someday, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you."

"You're welcome. It's just something I can do." He Ling smiled kindly. Even without Chen Jinnian's relationship, he would still take care of Wang Yidi.

"Jinnian, let's talk for a moment. I have something I want to ask you."

"it is good."

The two of them took two steps to the side and turned off their hidden microphones.

"Before leaving, Teacher Zhang specifically asked me to ask you if you had any conflicts with him or Li Dan."

After hearing He Ling's question, Chen Jinnian smiled slightly.

Zhang Shaogang was able to seize the opportunity to clear his name when he was being blackened by the entire Internet. His ability to read people's expressions is really extraordinary. He was able to guess the general idea without even meeting the other person.

There are still many smart people in the entertainment industry.

"Teacher Zhang is a professor at our School of Journalism. We don't have any conflicts. It's just that in any industry, excess is harmful. I've seen him build tall buildings, entertain guests, and then see his buildings collapse. I don't want to get involved."

Chen Jinnian preached to He Ling frankly.

The development of the world follows certain rules. The rapper's destination is prison, the motorcycle blogger's destination is a small box, so it's hard to say what the destination of a talk show host will be.
