Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

A few days later, Zhao Cheng was relaxing in his office. Ever since his conversation with Director Luo, Zhao Cheng hadn't dared to stay in the office for too long. He'd basically just stroll around every day before returning to the office to rest for a bit, and then stroll around again in the afternoon. These past few days, Zhao Cheng felt like a street urchin, wandering around the city.

Zhao Cheng watched the newspaper report about the United States advancing rapidly while North Korea retreated step by step. He felt his blood boiling.

Every man dreams of going to the battlefield and making great achievements. If we were to name a battlefield that the men of the University of Tokyo really wanted to go to, then besides fighting the Japanese, there was only this war to establish the country. However, Zhao Cheng, born in peacetime, had no chance because he was too fat and could not pass the physical examination.

Zhao Cheng now has the opportunity to participate, but he is very hesitant. It’s not that he is afraid of death, but with his physical condition, it is difficult to kill him unless he seeks death himself.

The five senses, endurance, and explosive power have all reached the limits of human nature! In this case, as long as I don't stand still and let the shells fall on my head, it will be fine.

But Zhao Cheng was worried about his wife and children. He had a family and a career, so he had a lot to take care of.

But Zhao Cheng also knew that he had come here because he had no past. Although he had created a decent identity, he was afraid of being questioned.

I wanted to gain experience in the South and North Korean arena. That way, if things got tough, as long as I didn't try to get a high-ranking position, like becoming a small director, I'd be fine. High-level players wouldn't take me down, but low-level players couldn't beat me. That was the safest position.

"Oh, how can I participate in this safely?" Zhao Cheng scratched his head, feeling a little helpless.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you ask Lao Luo to ask me to come and see you?" Tian Dan's voice came from the door.

"Hey, since you're here, come in. What are you doing outside?" Zhao Cheng walked up to Tian Dan and pulled her into the office, then closed the door.

Tian Dan saw Zhao Cheng's expression and knew that Zhao Cheng must have called her over because he couldn't make a decision on his own. So she went over to Zhao Cheng's seat and sat down. She leaned her elbow on the table, her chin in her hand, and looked at Zhao Cheng without saying a word.

Zhao Cheng poured water for Tian Dan, and when he came back he found Tian Dan sitting in his seat with a smile on her face. He felt that he was a little too naive.

"Sister, I called you here because I have something to discuss with you!" Zhao Cheng put the water in front of Tian Dan and spoke after hesitating for a moment.

"Well, I guessed it. Tell me what you want to say!" Tian Dan smiled, picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly.

Zhao Cheng thought about it, took out the newspaper, and pointed the news about the North-South Korean War to Tian Dan.

Tian Dan saw the content in the newspaper, put it on the table after reading it, and continued to look at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng felt a little uncomfortable under Tian Dan's gaze and didn't know how to start.

"Okay, if you have something to say, just tell me now. I'm busy! Do you think everyone is like you, slacking off at work every day?" Tian Dan rolled her eyes at Zhao Cheng and said, leaning back in her chair.

"Sister, what do you think after reading this?" Zhao Cheng asked tentatively.

"What can I think? It has little to do with us. Let them fight their own battles. Do they dare to cross the border to fight us?" Tian Dan said.

It's no wonder Tian Dan couldn't see it. The UN forces were still south of the 38th parallel, encircling and suppressing North Korean troops, and hadn't yet truly turned north. So many people now assumed that the U.S. would at most reach the border and be done with it, and wouldn't cross it to attack us. Furthermore, the situation in the East didn't allow them to help North Korea resist the UN invasion.

"Aren't you worried they'll attack us?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously. In his opinion, Tian Dan was the ultimate female star of this era. The TV series essentially portrayed her as an all-around capable character, a true female star in TV dramas. It was impossible not to see the dangers of war.

"Is it useful to be afraid? All we have to do now is to prevent Da Piaoliang from crossing the border to attack us. What does their attack on North Korea have to do with us? And do you think our country has the strength to go to the North Korean battlefield to fight Da Piaoliang? We are not afraid of sacrifice, but we are afraid of dying in vain." Tian Dan said it calmly, but Zhao Cheng could hear the helplessness in Tian Dan's tone.

"Da Piaoliang will definitely cross the border. Even if the infantry can't get in, their planes will definitely not abide by the border agreement! This is even more troublesome!" said Zhao Cheng.

"If they really cross the border, I think we will most likely give in. After all, we are too poor, and there are still many places in the country that have not been completely liberated! We don't have that much energy to help North Korea!" Tian Dan's tone was no longer calm.

I came here just to let you know in advance. If what I suspected really happens, I hope to go to the battlefield!" Zhao Cheng stated his purpose in a firm tone.

Tian Dan was shocked by Zhao Cheng's words, because this was the first time Zhao Cheng had taken the initiative to do something. She had known that Zhao Cheng was usually a stubborn donkey that wouldn't budge even if she pulled him. The last time she went to Shanghai, Zheng Chaoyang and she tried to get him to go, but he refused. It was only after she had finally persuaded him and used some trickery that she managed to get him to go. Why was he suddenly going this time?

Tian Dan's hand touched Zhao Cheng's forehead. Zhao Cheng's impassioned speech was interrupted by Tian Dan, who asked angrily: "Talk properly, why are you hitting me?"

"You don't have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense? Are you going to the battlefield? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Tian Dan couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Cheng's expression.

"I'm not crazy! I'm preparing for a rainy day! I'm not kidding! If this war really breaks out, I will definitely go to the battlefield! This is the most basic quality of me as a Dongda student! I was too young to catch up when fighting the Japanese, but if I catch up this time, I must go! This is a foreign war! The temptation of opening a single page of the family tree, which Dongda man can resist such a temptation?" Zhao Cheng said.

Tian Dan couldn't help but stand in awe after hearing what Zhao Cheng said! Zhao Cheng was right. This was a foreign war, different from the domestic war. This was another Anti-Japanese War! As a Dongda student, I must not be timid in the face of foreign enemies!

"Let's not talk about whether this war can be fought. Even if it really happens and you want to go to the battlefield, what about Pingping? What about the two children?" Tian Dan looked at Zhao Cheng seriously, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

"Hey, I haven't thought about this yet. But even if a war breaks out, I don't think it will start tomorrow. There's always enough time! Pingping doesn't work now, so it's okay for her to take care of the two children at home for now! And I believe Pingping can definitely overcome the difficulties! But I hope you can go and accompany her when you are free, if conditions permit!" Zhao Cheng felt a little selfish. He left Pingping and the two children at home for his own ideals.
