Chapter 1
Tripzi, he definitely won't let Fang Zhengyi have a good life, but he still feels a little uncomfortable.On the day of the Weihua annual meeting, Cao Yuan found that Fang Zhengyi was a little strange, but he didn't go into it. First, because his heart was completely focused on Zhou Jin's signing, and second, because Cao Yuan always felt that Fang Zhengyi was a bit strange. Yat is not that bad.
Fang Zhengyi is the child of Cao Yuan's stepmother and younger sister. He called Cao Yuan his cousin. When he first came, his family was not very rich. He wore a suit of ill-fitting clothes. He said cousin.His appearance at that time has always been recorded in Cao Yuan's heart. It was a kind of self-conceited attempt to hide the deep fear and inferiority in his heart.And now the child is no longer a child.
Cao Yuan took a deep breath, reached out and rubbed the hair on the top of Zhou Jin's head, and said, "What gift did you buy me today?"
Zhou Jin smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you now. Did Brother Yuan buy me a present?"
Cao Yuan took out the paper bag in his pocket and handed it to Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin opened it and saw that there were two rings inside.Zhou Jin had never seen this kind of ring before. It was inlaid with a small glowing stone.Cao Yuan held Zhou Jin's hand, helped him put the ring on, and said: "You will be a big star in the future, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds. According to the rules here, the ring should be worn on the ring finger. Putting it on the ring finger means that two people are husband and wife. But if you wear it now, people will ask more questions, so wear it on the middle finger."
Zhou Jin felt that Cao Yuan's big hand was sharpening warmly on his palm, and he suddenly felt very moved. He gently held Cao Yuan's hand and said, "It's very beautiful."
Cao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't think it looks good."
"nice."
Zhou Jin blinked, he felt that the diamond was going to make his tears come out.Cao Yuan asked, "What about my gift?"
Zhou Jin took Cao Yuan's hand back to the bookstore and said, "I haven't had time to buy it for you yet."
There is a big sign on the door of the bookstore, which reads: "Wang Xiaoer, the author of "I and the General Unraveling the Battle Robe of Time Traveling", returns to the giant system after five years - "The Time Traveling Survival Manual" signing meeting will meet at Christmas."
Cao Yuan hugged Zhou Jin and kissed him, saying, "I like this gift so much."
The signings of "The Time Traveling Survival Manual" are full. This book is Wang Xiaoer's return to the masterpiece after five years. Many fans are very excited, and their goddess has finally returned.They hadn't graduated from college when they were chasing "I and the General Unraveling the Battle Robe". Now they are dragging their families and preparing to have a second child.
Cao Yuan and Zhou Jin arrived a bit late, and when it was Cao Yuan's turn, there was no one in the bookstore. Wang Xiaoer, who was wearing a mask, said in a low voice, "Hi, what do you want me to write for you?"
Cao Yuan was taken aback, the voice was cool and gentle, but definitely not a woman's voice.While Cao Yuan was still digesting the fact that his goddess was actually a male god, he looked up and found that he had seen the person who signed his autograph somewhere.
Wang Xiaoer paused for a while and saw that Cao Yuan didn't answer, so he raised his head, the two looked at each other, and Cao Yuan's mouth immediately grew wide: "You...you are..."
Wang Xiaoer also recognized Cao Yuan. He was about to make a silent movement when a man who looked like a bodyguard walked over. , revealing two small canine teeth. "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"You are, you are the professor, you are the physics professor."
Fortunately, Cao Yuan and Zhou Jin came late, and there was no one in the hall.Professor Wang Xiaoda simply took off the mask on his face and said, "Mr. Cao, long time no see."
Cao Yuan's mouth was half open, and he couldn't understand for a while, "Are you Wang Xiaoer?"
Wang Xiaoda nodded. He smiled at Zhou Jin who was standing beside Cao Yuan, then turned to Cao Yuan and asked, "Have you found the answer to your question now?"
Cao Yuan looked down at Zhou Jin, and nodded embarrassedly.
Wang Xiaoda smiled, and brushed Cao Yuan's book with a marker pen to write a line of flamboyant characters: "Life in the world is like a traveler suddenly."
"Why did you write this sentence for me?" Cao Yuan asked.
Wang Xiaoda smiled deeper, revealing the dimples at the corners of his mouth, "I think these two sentences are very suitable for time travelers, don't you?"

The title page of "Traveling Survival Manual": "The first basic rule of traversing: There are three results for traversing through wormholes formed by natural phenomena. The first one successfully reaches another time and space, and the second one is split into atomic form when passing through the wormhole. The third type successfully arrives at another time and space and then splits into an atomic form and transmits it back to the original place. That is to say, there is still reversibility in the successful crossing.”
Under the desk lamp, Cao Yuan closed the book and said, "Do you want to go back?"
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to your original world."
Zhou Jin shook his head, reached out to take Cao Yuan's big hand, and played with his fingers, "I don't want to, not at all."
"why?"
"Because there is air conditioning here."
"..."
Seeing Cao Yuan's darkened face, Zhou Jin burst out laughing. He stretched out his hand to hook Cao Yuan's neck, hung on Cao Yuan like a koala, kissed Cao Yuan's lips earnestly, and said : "I won't leave, really." These words were meant to comfort Cao Yuan, but they seemed to comfort himself as well.
The author has something to say: set up a flag
☆、Chapter 36 (Modified)
As shown by Cao Yuan's profound experience accumulated from studying "The Legend of Zibing" ten times, "Birds and Fish" successfully stepped on the audience's high point.The theme of two men chasing a woman is very popular, so the ratings of the show rose steadily once it was broadcast, and it surpassed all other dramas, becoming the most popular TV series before the Spring Festival.
The complex emotional entanglement of these three characters is also hotly discussed on the Internet. Fans from all walks of life took this opportunity to set off a bloody storm in the world. The theme is that Fang Zhengyi and Zhou Jin proposed to you at the same time. Would you choose? who.Although everyone knows that neither of these two handsome guys will propose to him, but the eternal topic of lust is something that people can't stop.
Fang Zhengyi's fans are as cold as he himself, and they sneer at Zhou Jin's enthusiasm. Their catchphrase is: "If Fang Zhengyi was not busy with auditions and didn't appear on the show, would it be Zhou Dafool's turn? Now Come to catch the heat again, what a face."
Zhou Jin's fans followed Cao Yuan, cursing passers-by with full firepower, and their catchphrase was: "Our family's Jinbao is beautiful." Good boy.
Fang Zhengyi's fans saw that they were weak, and Zhou Jin was indeed fairer than Fang Zhengyi, but so what, no matter how handsome he was, he would sometimes roll his eyes and pick his nostrils, so Fang Zhengyi's fans didn't know that he was from the Internet. From a dark corner, a lot of media came to capture Zhou Jin's photos, and then began to violently attack Zhou Jin's ears and big nostrils. In some pictures, the straight tiles behind the P were deformed.
The Internet is full of tears, but the show "Flying Fish and Birds" is really popular. The ratings of the first broadcast are only 0.9, and the ratings of both channels broke 1.0 on the third day, which has an impact of 1.2. momentum.
For the audience, whether the TV series is good or not is king, but for the TV people, the data with a few decimal places is their meal ticket.If the ratings are high, directors and actors will also be able to follow suit.Producers and investors with a bit more vicious eyes can still see a few good seedlings with potential, and Zhou Jin, as the second male lead, has several scenes in the play that are remarkable.
The scene that touched the audience the most was the scene where Zhou Jin stood in pain in the heavy rain after being rejected by Wu Yue. In the words of netizens, this crying scene was "I feel so pitiful, and my heart is broken when I cry."After these few dramas that tested explosiveness, several TV dramas that have already approved projects extended an olive branch to Zhou Jin, and all of them wanted Zhou Jin to play the leading role. At the end of the year, Zhou Jin finally soared into the sky. Turned over and sang.
But Zhou Jin rejected all the scripts that Zhao Hong had chosen for him. These scripts were good, but none of them he really wanted to act in.
In the past, Zhou Jin filmed movies to take responsibility and make a living, but what Zhou Jin wants now is to leave something on the TV screen, not to become a TV drama legend, but to make him As written in the novel, returning to ancient times, or going to another strange place, Cao Yuan can see himself on TV, a living self.
Also because of this small wish, Zhou Jin only wanted to act in "Twenty Years" directed by Wen. The protagonist of that play was him Zhou Jin and also Li Qi.
Zhao Hong sighed. He felt that since he brought Zhou Jin with him, the hairs on the top of his head were falling out faster and faster every day.He stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and said, "Xiao Jin, why are you so single-minded? Yes, I know that Director Wen is a good director, and the scenes he shoots are all good dramas, but it's not like him to mess around , look at the sword gut you photographed, what..."
"Sword gall and piano heart."
"Yes, it's the sword, the guts, and the heart. Before the filming, there were all kinds of compliments, bragging, what was the annual giant production, what was a well-produced drama, but the result? After more than half a year, I couldn't even get a quasi-broadcast certificate. Come down. There is no place to broadcast, so what's the use of filming?"
Zhao Hong paused, and then said: "Don't look down on these dramas, yes, I admit, they are all idol dramas, not nutritious, but the audience just like it. This is how the media industry is, what do audiences like? , you just give him whatever. Did you hear that?"
Zhou Jin sat in front of the desk with his head sideways. There were three scripts in his hand. The characters in each had different names, but when he looked closely, they all had the same face.Zhou Jin unconsciously turned the ring on his left index finger, and said, "I heard you."
"Then what are you thinking now?"
Zhou Jin looked up at Zhao Hong and said, "Brother Hong, I want to make a TV series that people will remember me." Zhou Jin pushed away the script on the table and said, "None of these are possible, but Director Wen The drama is okay. Director Wen showed me the script at the time, and I was really moved after watching it. Except for the emotional confusion of the characters, everything else is impeccable."
Zhao Hong said: "I also read the script. It's a good drama. I heard that the emotional line was specially written with a few more female characters in order to attract sponsorship. But it's useless to talk about it now."
"Why?" Zhou Jin asked.
""Twenty Years" has been stranded. Wenxin has driven all the investors away in anger, and he has no money."
Soliciting sponsorship for TV dramas is a hard job. The starting points of the two parties are different. The director wants to take money to fulfill his wish, and the investor wants to give money to promote his products. There are irreconcilable contradictions between them, and the way to solve them It is a compromise.It was the uncle who gave the money, so the only ones who bowed their heads were the crew.
Zhou Jin decided to help Director Wen, but he himself was just a small star, he worked hard to make a film and earned tens of thousands of dollars, so he had no funds to invest in Director Wen.
Cao Yuan noticed Zhou Jin's gloom. He sat on the sofa and watched "Flying Fish and Birds". Halfway through, he saw Zhou Jin sitting on one side and staring at the potted plants on the TV. He didn't know where his mind wandered.
"What's the matter?" Cao Yuan brought the potato chips to Zhou Jin for the first time.
Zhou Jin grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "I'm thinking about Director Wen."
"Director Wen? What happened to him?"
Zhou Jin replied: "The "Twenty Years" he was planning to shoot can't be done now, the investors have left."
"That's quite a pity," Cao Yuan paused while eating potato chips, and said, "It's a good luck that you didn't accept this drama. Which dramas did Brother Hong find for you?"
Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "They're all idol dramas, which are boring."
Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Jin's slightly frowned eyebrows, turned down the volume of the TV set, and said, "Do you know how many TV dramas are approved and started filming every year?"
Zhou Jin shook his head.
"At least [-] episodes of TV series are filmed every year, but less than one-third of them can be broadcast in the end."
"What about the rest?"
"What's left? The rest is just wasted. Investors' money was wasted, and the hard work of directors and actors was all in vain. But what can we do? This business is so cruel, there are only a few stations, plus There are only so many online channels, and so many dramas fight for these broadcast channels every year. Why is a big company a big company? It’s these joints that he has opened up. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the director, he’s just too smart If you don’t bow your head when it’s time to bow, you will be the one who suffers.”
Zhou Jin listened quietly, not knowing whether he understood or not.After a while, Cao Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed the hair on top of Zhou Jin's head, and said, "Don't worry about these things, are you going to the crew's celebration banquet tomorrow?"
Zhou Jin nodded, and said, "Yes, the crew posted a thick blog before, saying that if the ratings break 1.2 and the whole crew will broadcast live, Brother Yuan, I really don't want to go."
Cao Yuan laughed and said, "Why don't you want to go?"
Zhou Jin pursed his lips, suddenly he didn't know what to say to Cao Yuan.He was very anxious in his heart, but this anxiety did not know where it came from, like a dream of being late for school. He knew it was an illusion, but he couldn't help but sweat profusely. "I want to stay with you at home." Zhou Jin hugged Cao Yuan's neck with both hands, hung on Cao Yuan's chest, and rubbed twice.
Cao Yuan reached out and touched Zhou Jin's earlobe, and said, "You can't leave me for a day? What will you do when you join the crew?"
Zhou Jin didn't speak again, he buried his head on Cao Yuan's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Will Brother Yuan, who is in the crew, give me a visit?"
"Yes, I promise." Cao Yuan moved his hand from Zhou Jin's ear to his cheek, squeezed it maliciously, and said, "Why did it grow back, I wasn't so clingy before."
Zhou Jin chuckled, and grabbed Cao Yuan's clothes even harder. His knuckles turned white, and he pulled out a dent in the fabric. He wondered if he could grasp the time that was going backwards from him as long as he used his strength. .
On the day of the "Flying Fish and Birds" celebration party, Zhou Jin received a call from the real estate agency that had listed his villa before, saying that his house had found a buyer, and it was sold excluding taxes and fees and outstanding loans. 500.
Through Zhou Jin's observation of rice prices, he felt that 500 million was a huge sum, an astronomical figure.But for the increasingly popular TV drama market, the influx of hot money has made money worthless.
The number of episodes of a costume drama is generally about 200 episodes, and the cost of one episode is generally 4000 million.Calculated in this way, if you want to make a [-]-episode costume TV series, the cost will be at least [-] million.This is only the initial cost, plus the follow-up marketing expenses, etc., TV dramas with a cost of over [-] million are not a small number.Zhou Jin's small amount of steel is just a drop in the bucket.
But Zhou Jin didn't know about it. With money in his pocket, he happily ran to the celebration banquet of "Flying Fish and Birds", because he heard from Zhao Hong that Director Zhang and Director Wen were good buddies, and Director Wen would also go to the celebration banquet. .
The atmosphere at the celebration banquet was very good. Director Zhang was half-drunk, and he dragged the screenwriter Xiaohui to fight for hundreds of rounds. He shouted loudly: "Are you a brother? Are you a brother? If you are a brother, have another drink." " "The white one is strong enough, let's take a sip." "Is this bottle strong enough?"
After arguing for more than an hour, a person came into the private room, and Director Zhang yelled, "Don't drink now, Zhengyi is here, take a photo before drinking."
Zhou Jin looked up and saw that Fang Zhengyi came in wearing sunglasses. His clothes and hair were all meticulously groomed, and he refused to take off the sunglasses on his face when he entered the room.
Director Zhang began to direct: "Come on, Zhengyi is standing between Xiaojin and Wu Yue, that's right, just turn your body a little sideways, and get closer."
Fang Zhengyi walked in slowly, stood beside Zhou Jin, and turned slightly to get closer to Zhou Jin.Although the two stood very close, Zhou Jin could clearly feel Fang Zhengyi's tense body and extremely low air pressure.
Zhou Jin took a quick glance at Fang Zhengyi when Director Zhang was arranging other staff to take their positions, and saw a large bright red scar beside Fang Zhengyi's sunglasses, as if he had been beaten up.Zhou Jin took a closer look and found that there were also marks on his neck from being beaten. Although Fang Zhengyi tried to cover it with a high-necked shirt, some spots still came out.Zhou Jin remembered that when they found out that the person who broke the news was Fang Zhengyi, he asked Cao Yuan what to do, and Cao Yuan told him that he didn't have to deal with it.It turned out that Cao Yuan took care of it like this, speaking directly with his fists.
Fang Zhengyi left after taking the photos, without saying a word, and bowed to everyone before leaving. Director Zhang laughed and said, "What Zhengyi did is like a retreat after a curtain call."
Fang Zhengyi just smiled at the time, but Zhou Jin knew that he probably really had a curtain call.Sure enough, Fang Zhengyi posted a status on Houbo that night, saying that he wanted to go to the United States to study for a year.The fans were devastated, and even posted the hot topic "Zhengyi, don't leave" on the Internet, as if they were reborn. "Flying Fish and Birds" suddenly became Fang Zhengyi's last drama before further studies, and the topic was even higher.
After taking the photo, Zhou Jin stood guard outside the bathroom door of the hotel, nervously waiting for Director Wen to come in.Although he came to give money to others, he should be confident and confident, but Zhou Jin knew that giving money to someone as self-respecting as a literary director would be like slapping him in the face, so the process must be clever and the wording must be tactful.
Director Wen drank several glasses of wine, entered the bathroom a little drunk, pushed the door open, and bumped into Zhou Jin who was brewing feelings in the bathroom, "Hey, you are not that, that..."
"Director Wen, I'm Zhou Jin."
"Well, I know." Director Wen nodded, turned on the faucet a little staggeringly, and slapped the water on his cheek, "What do you want from me?" The cold water made Director Wen sober, He turned his back to Zhou Jin, silently looking at Zhou Jin through the glass mirror from the corner of his eye.
He thought in his heart that Zhou Jin was a good seed, but what was he doing here now?Laugh at him?Laugh at him for blowing up his new drama, laugh at him for not using himself.
Zhou Jin took a deep breath, clenched his hands hanging by his sides into fists, and said, "Director Wen, I want to invest in your TV series."
"what?"
Zhou Jin raised his voice and said seriously again: "Director Wen, I sold the house and invested all the money in your new drama."
☆、Chapter 37
Although the money was not much, it still moved Director Wen to tears.He has been in the circle for so many years, and he has gone through ups and downs. When he stood tall, he was sought after by everyone, but when he fell hard, he was left in the cold.There are beautiful things that make the icing on the cake every day, and this is the only time to send charcoal in a timely manner.
Zhou Jin looked at Director Wen's gloomy expression in the mirror, and then said, "Director Wen, my money is not for free. I have been studying and preparing your script for a while. I really think this show is worth making, and it's a pity to give up like this."
Director Wen turned off the faucet, turned to look at Zhou Jin, and said, "Thank you."
After Wen Dao said these words, he went out of the bathroom. His footsteps seemed to be more staggered than when he came in, and he almost knocked on the sink.
Zhou Jin later found out why director Wen left in such a hurry.When he is sober, so is the person. If he does not work hard, no one will work hard for it.Zhou Jin was able to sell his house for "Jing Twenty Years", so what else can he not do?Isn't it just to lower your head and laugh with you?As long as the money is given, he will do it.
In the second week after the "Flying Fish and Birds" celebration banquet, Zhou Jin received a call from director Wen, saying that he had found a sponsor, and once again sincerely invited Zhou Jin to play the leading role.
This time, Director Wen found more suitable sponsors than the previous ones. The previous ones were all small businesses with little money and low-quality products.But now the investor I'm looking for is rich and powerful, and if they don't want anything, they have to be strict. I just hit it off with Director Wen, and they hit it off to provide funds for Director Wen, and they want to make the drama into a movie. Each episode is an hour, and it will be broadcast every week. One episode, a total of six episodes, and it is the first time to adopt the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time.
The shooting method of filming and broadcasting while filming is widely used in foreign countries, but it is still in the testing stage in China.There is a great advantage of filming and broadcasting at the same time, that is, you can make adjustments at any time according to the feedback from the audience, which also leaves a way out for yourself.
For example, after "Twenty Years" was changed to a small movie mode, the cost of one episode was 1000 million as a base, so at least 6000 million was invested in shooting six episodes.If the ratings of this show plummeted after it aired, then the investors would be out of luck.However, if the mode of filming and broadcasting is adopted, once the ratings are not good, you can withdraw immediately, saving a lot of resources and reducing the risk of investment.
After Cao Yuan found out about this, he lifted Zhou Jin up and taught him a good lesson: "You're really good, you didn't even tell me about such a big deal as selling a house, what do you think of me? Do you recognize my husband?"
Zhou Jin is a very thin-skinned person. Although he likes Cao Yuan very much, he never calls Cao Yuan's husband. He always calls him Brother Yuan in a proper manner. , and then yelled softly.
He was so scolded by Cao Yuan, he was not scared, but his face turned red, "I admit it... I admit it."
"Recognize what?"
"Recognize your husband..."
Cao Yuan snorted in satisfaction and said, "Yes, you don't have my name on your real estate certificate, so you can sell it if you want, then your household registration book doesn't have my name on it, so you can leave as soon as you want?" He pinched Zhou Jin's little butt.
Zhou Jin snorted, and said, "Brother Yuan, didn't Brother Yuan say that the current housing market is uncertain, so you can sell it if you want?"
"Then you are big-hearted, investing millions just for fun?"
Cao Yuan gets angry when he thinks about it, is this guy spoiled by him, and he doesn't care about him more and more.In the past few days, he has always felt that Zhou Jin is always absent-minded, but in the end he sold the house without a word and invested in TV dramas.Is there anyone who invests like him?Don't do preliminary research, don't look at market analysis, and give people thousands of miles of money as soon as your head is hot.
"I only dared to invest in this drama because I knew it was directed by Wen. Didn't Brother Yuan also say that Wen was responsible for the famous director?" Seeing that Cao Yuan's face softened a little, Zhou Jin continued to speak persistently. : "Brother Yuan, the director of the text has already called me just now, saying that he has found an investor and let me play the leading role."
Cao Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he knew how much Zhou Jin wanted to make this drama, although the process of this drama was a bit tortuous, but it was done after all, it was a good thing no matter what.Cao Yuan's face brightened slightly, and he said, "A blind cat can catch a dead mouse." Cao Yuan paused, then reached out and rubbed Zhou Jin's soft hair, and said, "In the future, such a big event Remember to tell me, got it? Don’t be sold out and give back the money.”
"Yeah, I see." Zhou Jin rolled over flatteringly, and rolled into Cao Yuan's arms.
Cao Yuan couldn't get angry when he was made like this, so he could only bark his teeth at Zhou Jin and said, "Next time, see if I don't blow your ass open."
=============
Another week later, Zhou Jin was ready to officially join the crew.Cao Yuan still has to take Xiaodong and Xiaoxi with him now, it is impossible to follow Zhou Jin there, he can only send Zhou Jin to the airport and let it go.
When they arrived at the parking lot of the airport, Cao Yuan began to tell Zhou Jin a few words, "After arriving at the film crew, just do a good job in filming, and don't care about anything else. This time the conditions will be more difficult than before. I don't think there will be chicken legs in the box lunch. You will just order it." .”
Zhou Jin nodded, and slowly dragged the luggage out of the back of Cao Yuan's second-hand red car.Before the person left, he was a little bit reluctant.Zhou Jin looked up at Cao Yuan seriously, and said, "Brother Yuan,"
"Ok?"
"Brother Yuan, if I make money from investing, can we buy a new car?"
Cao Yuan was slightly taken aback.He has been talking about buying a car, saying that he wants to buy it or change it, but it has not been done until now.Now that Zhou Jin mentioned it like this, Cao Yuan felt warm in his heart. This guy loves to do it, and with just a few words, he can't let go of his heart.
"Okay," Cao Yuan rubbed the soft hair on the top of Zhou Jin's head again, and said, "When you make money, you can buy any car you want, and then I will take you to take the driver's license test. What is it in the 21st century?" You don’t have to have a license, but you can’t have a motor vehicle driver’s license.”
Zhou Jin grinned when he heard that, and nodded at Cao Yuan with crooked eyebrows, and said, "Well, good, I've wanted to learn for a long time."
Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Jin, and suddenly felt a little reluctant.Once Zhou Jin entered the film crew, it was impossible for him to come out for at least three months. From Zhou Jin's time travel to the present, where did the two of them have been separated for such a long time?In the past, he was a manager, and he would follow him wherever he went. Later, when Zhou Jin had no work to do, he could look up and down when he stayed at home.Now that Zhou Jin is going to a ravine where the birds don't shit, and he will go there for three months, Cao Yuan is really worried.This guy is small in stature and likes to put everything on his shoulders. He might be bullied if he doesn't look at it.
Cao Yuan coughed lightly, took the suitcase from Zhou Jin, pushed the lever and walked forward, and said, "Now you are also an actor with money in the group, no one dares to touch you. But you also want to Be smart, when you meet someone like Wu Xiangyu and Fang Zhengyi, hide as soon as you can, you hear me?"
"Brother Yuan, I know," Zhou Jin said, "This is not the first time I've been filming."
"Yes, it's not your first time." Cao Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "When you were filming for the first time, you were asked to flop and break your elbows, and when you were filming for the second time, you almost broke He was beaten to death by Wu Xiangyu, and Fang Zhengyi was provoked during the third filming. Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin, tell me what kind of physique you have." Cao Yuan stretched out his fingers and tapped Zhou Jin's forehead .
Zhou Jin suddenly threw the luggage trolley, stretched out his arm and hooked Cao Yuan's neck, wrapped his whole body on Cao Yuan's body, and then laughed foolishly, "Brother Yuan, you actually remember it all, you remember it all."
"Of course I remember, I don't have dementia." Cao Yuan turned his head slightly, put his cheek on Zhou Jin's cheek, and hugged Zhou Jin's waist with both hands, bringing his body closer to himself. "Take care of yourself, do you hear me?"
"I heard." Zhou Jin closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
The author has something to say: "Airports have seen more real kisses than wedding halls,
Hospital walls have heard more prayers than church walls"

☆、Chapter 38
Zhou Jin didn't do anything after he joined the crew, just immersed himself in studying the script and reciting lines every day.He takes this drama seriously.In his last life, he didn't live enough, wasted more than twenty years, and then died, leaving nothing behind.At that time, he didn't feel any regrets. He always thought that he was still young and had a lot of time in front of him.Now he understands that this is not the case. Time is a thing that becomes less and less every day, and no one knows what will happen in the next second.He must seize this opportunity and leave something behind before he goes.
This time the production team is not as rich as the previous ones. Director Wen knows that the funds are hard to come by, and every penny is spent wisely. He deliberately moved out all the 15-year-old antique furniture from Yujin at home, so that the interior scenery can be seen. It looks realistic, and the bloodstone pendant given by Fang Zhengyi was donated as a prop.
In the dressing room, Zhou Jin finished his makeup and changed into costumes, then took off the ring Cao Yuan gave him from his finger, and tied it around his neck with a red rope.
Makeup artist Xiao Le smiled when she saw it, but said nothing. She guessed that the ring must have been given by someone very important.She knew that the star was very concerned about this kind of personal privacy, so she pretended not to see it, and said, "Brother Zhou, take this with you." As she spoke, she handed Zhou Jin a red bloodstone pendant.
"This pendant is something Wen Daoqian told Wan Wan to take good care of. It's a real antique, and you can't buy it with money."
Zhou Jin was stunned when he saw the pendant. He recognized this pendant, and it was something he had been hanging on his body all his life.
"Brother Zhou, look, the authentic product is really different, the color is so correct." Meizhuang Xiaole said.
It was also a treasure in their place, with its true color and exquisite carving workmanship, and most importantly, this bloodstone pendant was the only thing his mother left him.
Zhou Jin couldn't express his feelings for his mother. He had never met his mother, but from the gossip in the palace rumors, he could more or less guess that his existence was not a happy event for his dead mother. .It seems that since he was born, he was hated by those who should have loved him unreservedly, and this cognition was deeply buried in his heart.
He carried this pendant with him, but he never looked at it seriously, because he didn't dare to look at it seriously, he was afraid that he would fall into this weird emotional vortex after looking at it for a long time.
Zhou Jin stretched out his hand and took the pendant.The pendant was cold, and it seemed that there were several small thorns on the skin of his palm. "Where did you buy Director Wen?" Zhou Jin asked.
"I don't know, I heard it was a gift from a friend,"
Zhou Jin lowered his head, folded his fingers together, and held the stone.The stone is smooth and moist, with a thick layer of paste on it.
"Brother Zhou is ready?" The staff came in and called.
Zhou Jin took a deep breath, hung the pendant on his waist with trembling hands, coughed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Get ready, come out right away."
Zhou Jin's first scene was a major one, in which his character Li Qi would confront the emperor head-on, and through this confrontation Li Qi realized that his father, the emperor, would never recognize him.
Li Qi's father is played by a well-known old actor, Ye Zhengqiu. He was born in a drama. After several years of playing tricks, he finally got a line, and then step by step, relying on his solid skills, he became a professional emperor. .
This scene is an interior scene, Ye Zhengqiu has already stood in the marked place, the yellow wooden bookcase behind him is a treasure that Director Wen has treasured for many years, and this time it is specially brought out as the background.Now that the lights are on, the composition of the whole picture is very antique.
After Zhou Jin took his position, the camera immediately moved over.Ye Zhengqiu flicked the props on the desk to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Look at the notes you wrote, you are full of nonsense, it is really ridiculous, rules are rules, not a joke like you."
Ye Zhengqiu had already performed his own routine. He stared slightly, his jaw retracted, and his tone was strong, with the air of an emperor. The moment he opened his mouth, everyone present was stunned.
The cameraman immediately moved the camera to Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin opened his mouth and recited the lines [-] times, [-] times, but rolled to the edge of his tongue and got stuck.
A huge incandescent lamp shone on top of Zhou Jin's head, piercing his eyes sorely, and the bloodstone hanging around his waist began to heat up slightly, and the heat gradually burned his legs, making him a little unsteady.He suddenly felt a strange airflow extending along the veins in his palm, extending into the blood vessels in his arm, and then directly impacting his Tianling Cap along the bones and flesh.He was familiar with this feeling, it was the feeling of the big bird landing on top of his head from the sky.
There is no longer a busy studio in front of him, and the sound in his ears is no longer the sound of mechanical turning. Zhou Jin feels that he is clearly in one place, but he is clearly standing in another place. His body and soul are divided into two halves. , floating in mid-air.
"Zhou Jin!" Director Wen yelled a cut angrily. He took off the earphones behind the monitor and said, "What's wrong with you? You're not in the mood at all."
Zhou Jin came back to his senses and quickly apologized: "
Fang Zhengyi is the child of Cao Yuan's stepmother and younger sister. He called Cao Yuan his cousin. When he first came, his family was not very rich. He wore a suit of ill-fitting clothes. He said cousin.His appearance at that time has always been recorded in Cao Yuan's heart. It was a kind of self-conceited attempt to hide the deep fear and inferiority in his heart.And now the child is no longer a child.
Cao Yuan took a deep breath, reached out and rubbed the hair on the top of Zhou Jin's head, and said, "What gift did you buy me today?"
Zhou Jin smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you now. Did Brother Yuan buy me a present?"
Cao Yuan took out the paper bag in his pocket and handed it to Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin opened it and saw that there were two rings inside.Zhou Jin had never seen this kind of ring before. It was inlaid with a small glowing stone.Cao Yuan held Zhou Jin's hand, helped him put the ring on, and said: "You will be a big star in the future, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds. According to the rules here, the ring should be worn on the ring finger. Putting it on the ring finger means that two people are husband and wife. But if you wear it now, people will ask more questions, so wear it on the middle finger."
Zhou Jin felt that Cao Yuan's big hand was sharpening warmly on his palm, and he suddenly felt very moved. He gently held Cao Yuan's hand and said, "It's very beautiful."
Cao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't think it looks good."
"nice."
Zhou Jin blinked, he felt that the diamond was going to make his tears come out.Cao Yuan asked, "What about my gift?"
Zhou Jin took Cao Yuan's hand back to the bookstore and said, "I haven't had time to buy it for you yet."
There is a big sign on the door of the bookstore, which reads: "Wang Xiaoer, the author of "I and the General Unraveling the Battle Robe of Time Traveling", returns to the giant system after five years - "The Time Traveling Survival Manual" signing meeting will meet at Christmas."
Cao Yuan hugged Zhou Jin and kissed him, saying, "I like this gift so much."
The signings of "The Time Traveling Survival Manual" are full. This book is Wang Xiaoer's return to the masterpiece after five years. Many fans are very excited, and their goddess has finally returned.They hadn't graduated from college when they were chasing "I and the General Unraveling the Battle Robe". Now they are dragging their families and preparing to have a second child.
Cao Yuan and Zhou Jin arrived a bit late, and when it was Cao Yuan's turn, there was no one in the bookstore. Wang Xiaoer, who was wearing a mask, said in a low voice, "Hi, what do you want me to write for you?"
Cao Yuan was taken aback, the voice was cool and gentle, but definitely not a woman's voice.While Cao Yuan was still digesting the fact that his goddess was actually a male god, he looked up and found that he had seen the person who signed his autograph somewhere.
Wang Xiaoer paused for a while and saw that Cao Yuan didn't answer, so he raised his head, the two looked at each other, and Cao Yuan's mouth immediately grew wide: "You...you are..."
Wang Xiaoer also recognized Cao Yuan. He was about to make a silent movement when a man who looked like a bodyguard walked over. , revealing two small canine teeth. "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"You are, you are the professor, you are the physics professor."
Fortunately, Cao Yuan and Zhou Jin came late, and there was no one in the hall.Professor Wang Xiaoda simply took off the mask on his face and said, "Mr. Cao, long time no see."
Cao Yuan's mouth was half open, and he couldn't understand for a while, "Are you Wang Xiaoer?"
Wang Xiaoda nodded. He smiled at Zhou Jin who was standing beside Cao Yuan, then turned to Cao Yuan and asked, "Have you found the answer to your question now?"
Cao Yuan looked down at Zhou Jin, and nodded embarrassedly.
Wang Xiaoda smiled, and brushed Cao Yuan's book with a marker pen to write a line of flamboyant characters: "Life in the world is like a traveler suddenly."
"Why did you write this sentence for me?" Cao Yuan asked.
Wang Xiaoda smiled deeper, revealing the dimples at the corners of his mouth, "I think these two sentences are very suitable for time travelers, don't you?"
===
The title page of "Traveling Survival Manual": "The first basic rule of traversing: There are three results for traversing through wormholes formed by natural phenomena. The first one successfully reaches another time and space, and the second one is split into atomic form when passing through the wormhole. The third type successfully arrives at another time and space and then splits into an atomic form and transmits it back to the original place. That is to say, there is still reversibility in the successful crossing.”
Under the desk lamp, Cao Yuan closed the book and said, "Do you want to go back?"
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to your original world."
Zhou Jin shook his head, reached out to take Cao Yuan's big hand, and played with his fingers, "I don't want to, not at all."
"why?"
"Because there is air conditioning here."
"..."
Seeing Cao Yuan's darkened face, Zhou Jin burst out laughing. He stretched out his hand to hook Cao Yuan's neck, hung on Cao Yuan like a koala, kissed Cao Yuan's lips earnestly, and said : "I won't leave, really." These words were meant to comfort Cao Yuan, but they seemed to comfort himself as well.
The author has something to say: set up a flag
☆、Chapter 36 (Modified)
As shown by Cao Yuan's profound experience accumulated from studying "The Legend of Zibing" ten times, "Birds and Fish" successfully stepped on the audience's high point.The theme of two men chasing a woman is very popular, so the ratings of the show rose steadily once it was broadcast, and it surpassed all other dramas, becoming the most popular TV series before the Spring Festival.
The complex emotional entanglement of these three characters is also hotly discussed on the Internet. Fans from all walks of life took this opportunity to set off a bloody storm in the world. The theme is that Fang Zhengyi and Zhou Jin proposed to you at the same time. Would you choose? who.Although everyone knows that neither of these two handsome guys will propose to him, but the eternal topic of lust is something that people can't stop.
Fang Zhengyi's fans are as cold as he himself, and they sneer at Zhou Jin's enthusiasm. Their catchphrase is: "If Fang Zhengyi was not busy with auditions and didn't appear on the show, would it be Zhou Dafool's turn? Now Come to catch the heat again, what a face."
Zhou Jin's fans followed Cao Yuan, cursing passers-by with full firepower, and their catchphrase was: "Our family's Jinbao is beautiful." Good boy.
Fang Zhengyi's fans saw that they were weak, and Zhou Jin was indeed fairer than Fang Zhengyi, but so what, no matter how handsome he was, he would sometimes roll his eyes and pick his nostrils, so Fang Zhengyi's fans didn't know that he was from the Internet. From a dark corner, a lot of media came to capture Zhou Jin's photos, and then began to violently attack Zhou Jin's ears and big nostrils. In some pictures, the straight tiles behind the P were deformed.
The Internet is full of tears, but the show "Flying Fish and Birds" is really popular. The ratings of the first broadcast are only 0.9, and the ratings of both channels broke 1.0 on the third day, which has an impact of 1.2. momentum.
For the audience, whether the TV series is good or not is king, but for the TV people, the data with a few decimal places is their meal ticket.If the ratings are high, directors and actors will also be able to follow suit.Producers and investors with a bit more vicious eyes can still see a few good seedlings with potential, and Zhou Jin, as the second male lead, has several scenes in the play that are remarkable.
The scene that touched the audience the most was the scene where Zhou Jin stood in pain in the heavy rain after being rejected by Wu Yue. In the words of netizens, this crying scene was "I feel so pitiful, and my heart is broken when I cry."After these few dramas that tested explosiveness, several TV dramas that have already approved projects extended an olive branch to Zhou Jin, and all of them wanted Zhou Jin to play the leading role. At the end of the year, Zhou Jin finally soared into the sky. Turned over and sang.
But Zhou Jin rejected all the scripts that Zhao Hong had chosen for him. These scripts were good, but none of them he really wanted to act in.
In the past, Zhou Jin filmed movies to take responsibility and make a living, but what Zhou Jin wants now is to leave something on the TV screen, not to become a TV drama legend, but to make him As written in the novel, returning to ancient times, or going to another strange place, Cao Yuan can see himself on TV, a living self.
Also because of this small wish, Zhou Jin only wanted to act in "Twenty Years" directed by Wen. The protagonist of that play was him Zhou Jin and also Li Qi.
Zhao Hong sighed. He felt that since he brought Zhou Jin with him, the hairs on the top of his head were falling out faster and faster every day.He stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and said, "Xiao Jin, why are you so single-minded? Yes, I know that Director Wen is a good director, and the scenes he shoots are all good dramas, but it's not like him to mess around , look at the sword gut you photographed, what..."
"Sword gall and piano heart."
"Yes, it's the sword, the guts, and the heart. Before the filming, there were all kinds of compliments, bragging, what was the annual giant production, what was a well-produced drama, but the result? After more than half a year, I couldn't even get a quasi-broadcast certificate. Come down. There is no place to broadcast, so what's the use of filming?"
Zhao Hong paused, and then said: "Don't look down on these dramas, yes, I admit, they are all idol dramas, not nutritious, but the audience just like it. This is how the media industry is, what do audiences like? , you just give him whatever. Did you hear that?"
Zhou Jin sat in front of the desk with his head sideways. There were three scripts in his hand. The characters in each had different names, but when he looked closely, they all had the same face.Zhou Jin unconsciously turned the ring on his left index finger, and said, "I heard you."
"Then what are you thinking now?"
Zhou Jin looked up at Zhao Hong and said, "Brother Hong, I want to make a TV series that people will remember me." Zhou Jin pushed away the script on the table and said, "None of these are possible, but Director Wen The drama is okay. Director Wen showed me the script at the time, and I was really moved after watching it. Except for the emotional confusion of the characters, everything else is impeccable."
Zhao Hong said: "I also read the script. It's a good drama. I heard that the emotional line was specially written with a few more female characters in order to attract sponsorship. But it's useless to talk about it now."
"Why?" Zhou Jin asked.
""Twenty Years" has been stranded. Wenxin has driven all the investors away in anger, and he has no money."
Soliciting sponsorship for TV dramas is a hard job. The starting points of the two parties are different. The director wants to take money to fulfill his wish, and the investor wants to give money to promote his products. There are irreconcilable contradictions between them, and the way to solve them It is a compromise.It was the uncle who gave the money, so the only ones who bowed their heads were the crew.
Zhou Jin decided to help Director Wen, but he himself was just a small star, he worked hard to make a film and earned tens of thousands of dollars, so he had no funds to invest in Director Wen.
Cao Yuan noticed Zhou Jin's gloom. He sat on the sofa and watched "Flying Fish and Birds". Halfway through, he saw Zhou Jin sitting on one side and staring at the potted plants on the TV. He didn't know where his mind wandered.
"What's the matter?" Cao Yuan brought the potato chips to Zhou Jin for the first time.
Zhou Jin grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "I'm thinking about Director Wen."
"Director Wen? What happened to him?"
Zhou Jin replied: "The "Twenty Years" he was planning to shoot can't be done now, the investors have left."
"That's quite a pity," Cao Yuan paused while eating potato chips, and said, "It's a good luck that you didn't accept this drama. Which dramas did Brother Hong find for you?"
Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "They're all idol dramas, which are boring."
Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Jin's slightly frowned eyebrows, turned down the volume of the TV set, and said, "Do you know how many TV dramas are approved and started filming every year?"
Zhou Jin shook his head.
"At least [-] episodes of TV series are filmed every year, but less than one-third of them can be broadcast in the end."
"What about the rest?"
"What's left? The rest is just wasted. Investors' money was wasted, and the hard work of directors and actors was all in vain. But what can we do? This business is so cruel, there are only a few stations, plus There are only so many online channels, and so many dramas fight for these broadcast channels every year. Why is a big company a big company? It’s these joints that he has opened up. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the director, he’s just too smart If you don’t bow your head when it’s time to bow, you will be the one who suffers.”
Zhou Jin listened quietly, not knowing whether he understood or not.After a while, Cao Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed the hair on top of Zhou Jin's head, and said, "Don't worry about these things, are you going to the crew's celebration banquet tomorrow?"
Zhou Jin nodded, and said, "Yes, the crew posted a thick blog before, saying that if the ratings break 1.2 and the whole crew will broadcast live, Brother Yuan, I really don't want to go."
Cao Yuan laughed and said, "Why don't you want to go?"
Zhou Jin pursed his lips, suddenly he didn't know what to say to Cao Yuan.He was very anxious in his heart, but this anxiety did not know where it came from, like a dream of being late for school. He knew it was an illusion, but he couldn't help but sweat profusely. "I want to stay with you at home." Zhou Jin hugged Cao Yuan's neck with both hands, hung on Cao Yuan's chest, and rubbed twice.
Cao Yuan reached out and touched Zhou Jin's earlobe, and said, "You can't leave me for a day? What will you do when you join the crew?"
Zhou Jin didn't speak again, he buried his head on Cao Yuan's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Will Brother Yuan, who is in the crew, give me a visit?"
"Yes, I promise." Cao Yuan moved his hand from Zhou Jin's ear to his cheek, squeezed it maliciously, and said, "Why did it grow back, I wasn't so clingy before."
Zhou Jin chuckled, and grabbed Cao Yuan's clothes even harder. His knuckles turned white, and he pulled out a dent in the fabric. He wondered if he could grasp the time that was going backwards from him as long as he used his strength. .
On the day of the "Flying Fish and Birds" celebration party, Zhou Jin received a call from the real estate agency that had listed his villa before, saying that his house had found a buyer, and it was sold excluding taxes and fees and outstanding loans. 500.
Through Zhou Jin's observation of rice prices, he felt that 500 million was a huge sum, an astronomical figure.But for the increasingly popular TV drama market, the influx of hot money has made money worthless.
The number of episodes of a costume drama is generally about 200 episodes, and the cost of one episode is generally 4000 million.Calculated in this way, if you want to make a [-]-episode costume TV series, the cost will be at least [-] million.This is only the initial cost, plus the follow-up marketing expenses, etc., TV dramas with a cost of over [-] million are not a small number.Zhou Jin's small amount of steel is just a drop in the bucket.
But Zhou Jin didn't know about it. With money in his pocket, he happily ran to the celebration banquet of "Flying Fish and Birds", because he heard from Zhao Hong that Director Zhang and Director Wen were good buddies, and Director Wen would also go to the celebration banquet. .
The atmosphere at the celebration banquet was very good. Director Zhang was half-drunk, and he dragged the screenwriter Xiaohui to fight for hundreds of rounds. He shouted loudly: "Are you a brother? Are you a brother? If you are a brother, have another drink." " "The white one is strong enough, let's take a sip." "Is this bottle strong enough?"
After arguing for more than an hour, a person came into the private room, and Director Zhang yelled, "Don't drink now, Zhengyi is here, take a photo before drinking."
Zhou Jin looked up and saw that Fang Zhengyi came in wearing sunglasses. His clothes and hair were all meticulously groomed, and he refused to take off the sunglasses on his face when he entered the room.
Director Zhang began to direct: "Come on, Zhengyi is standing between Xiaojin and Wu Yue, that's right, just turn your body a little sideways, and get closer."
Fang Zhengyi walked in slowly, stood beside Zhou Jin, and turned slightly to get closer to Zhou Jin.Although the two stood very close, Zhou Jin could clearly feel Fang Zhengyi's tense body and extremely low air pressure.
Zhou Jin took a quick glance at Fang Zhengyi when Director Zhang was arranging other staff to take their positions, and saw a large bright red scar beside Fang Zhengyi's sunglasses, as if he had been beaten up.Zhou Jin took a closer look and found that there were also marks on his neck from being beaten. Although Fang Zhengyi tried to cover it with a high-necked shirt, some spots still came out.Zhou Jin remembered that when they found out that the person who broke the news was Fang Zhengyi, he asked Cao Yuan what to do, and Cao Yuan told him that he didn't have to deal with it.It turned out that Cao Yuan took care of it like this, speaking directly with his fists.
Fang Zhengyi left after taking the photos, without saying a word, and bowed to everyone before leaving. Director Zhang laughed and said, "What Zhengyi did is like a retreat after a curtain call."
Fang Zhengyi just smiled at the time, but Zhou Jin knew that he probably really had a curtain call.Sure enough, Fang Zhengyi posted a status on Houbo that night, saying that he wanted to go to the United States to study for a year.The fans were devastated, and even posted the hot topic "Zhengyi, don't leave" on the Internet, as if they were reborn. "Flying Fish and Birds" suddenly became Fang Zhengyi's last drama before further studies, and the topic was even higher.
After taking the photo, Zhou Jin stood guard outside the bathroom door of the hotel, nervously waiting for Director Wen to come in.Although he came to give money to others, he should be confident and confident, but Zhou Jin knew that giving money to someone as self-respecting as a literary director would be like slapping him in the face, so the process must be clever and the wording must be tactful.
Director Wen drank several glasses of wine, entered the bathroom a little drunk, pushed the door open, and bumped into Zhou Jin who was brewing feelings in the bathroom, "Hey, you are not that, that..."
"Director Wen, I'm Zhou Jin."
"Well, I know." Director Wen nodded, turned on the faucet a little staggeringly, and slapped the water on his cheek, "What do you want from me?" The cold water made Director Wen sober, He turned his back to Zhou Jin, silently looking at Zhou Jin through the glass mirror from the corner of his eye.
He thought in his heart that Zhou Jin was a good seed, but what was he doing here now?Laugh at him?Laugh at him for blowing up his new drama, laugh at him for not using himself.
Zhou Jin took a deep breath, clenched his hands hanging by his sides into fists, and said, "Director Wen, I want to invest in your TV series."
"what?"
Zhou Jin raised his voice and said seriously again: "Director Wen, I sold the house and invested all the money in your new drama."
☆、Chapter 37
Although the money was not much, it still moved Director Wen to tears.He has been in the circle for so many years, and he has gone through ups and downs. When he stood tall, he was sought after by everyone, but when he fell hard, he was left in the cold.There are beautiful things that make the icing on the cake every day, and this is the only time to send charcoal in a timely manner.
Zhou Jin looked at Director Wen's gloomy expression in the mirror, and then said, "Director Wen, my money is not for free. I have been studying and preparing your script for a while. I really think this show is worth making, and it's a pity to give up like this."
Director Wen turned off the faucet, turned to look at Zhou Jin, and said, "Thank you."
After Wen Dao said these words, he went out of the bathroom. His footsteps seemed to be more staggered than when he came in, and he almost knocked on the sink.
Zhou Jin later found out why director Wen left in such a hurry.When he is sober, so is the person. If he does not work hard, no one will work hard for it.Zhou Jin was able to sell his house for "Jing Twenty Years", so what else can he not do?Isn't it just to lower your head and laugh with you?As long as the money is given, he will do it.
In the second week after the "Flying Fish and Birds" celebration banquet, Zhou Jin received a call from director Wen, saying that he had found a sponsor, and once again sincerely invited Zhou Jin to play the leading role.
This time, Director Wen found more suitable sponsors than the previous ones. The previous ones were all small businesses with little money and low-quality products.But now the investor I'm looking for is rich and powerful, and if they don't want anything, they have to be strict. I just hit it off with Director Wen, and they hit it off to provide funds for Director Wen, and they want to make the drama into a movie. Each episode is an hour, and it will be broadcast every week. One episode, a total of six episodes, and it is the first time to adopt the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time.
The shooting method of filming and broadcasting while filming is widely used in foreign countries, but it is still in the testing stage in China.There is a great advantage of filming and broadcasting at the same time, that is, you can make adjustments at any time according to the feedback from the audience, which also leaves a way out for yourself.
For example, after "Twenty Years" was changed to a small movie mode, the cost of one episode was 1000 million as a base, so at least 6000 million was invested in shooting six episodes.If the ratings of this show plummeted after it aired, then the investors would be out of luck.However, if the mode of filming and broadcasting is adopted, once the ratings are not good, you can withdraw immediately, saving a lot of resources and reducing the risk of investment.
After Cao Yuan found out about this, he lifted Zhou Jin up and taught him a good lesson: "You're really good, you didn't even tell me about such a big deal as selling a house, what do you think of me? Do you recognize my husband?"
Zhou Jin is a very thin-skinned person. Although he likes Cao Yuan very much, he never calls Cao Yuan's husband. He always calls him Brother Yuan in a proper manner. , and then yelled softly.
He was so scolded by Cao Yuan, he was not scared, but his face turned red, "I admit it... I admit it."
"Recognize what?"
"Recognize your husband..."
Cao Yuan snorted in satisfaction and said, "Yes, you don't have my name on your real estate certificate, so you can sell it if you want, then your household registration book doesn't have my name on it, so you can leave as soon as you want?" He pinched Zhou Jin's little butt.
Zhou Jin snorted, and said, "Brother Yuan, didn't Brother Yuan say that the current housing market is uncertain, so you can sell it if you want?"
"Then you are big-hearted, investing millions just for fun?"
Cao Yuan gets angry when he thinks about it, is this guy spoiled by him, and he doesn't care about him more and more.In the past few days, he has always felt that Zhou Jin is always absent-minded, but in the end he sold the house without a word and invested in TV dramas.Is there anyone who invests like him?Don't do preliminary research, don't look at market analysis, and give people thousands of miles of money as soon as your head is hot.
"I only dared to invest in this drama because I knew it was directed by Wen. Didn't Brother Yuan also say that Wen was responsible for the famous director?" Seeing that Cao Yuan's face softened a little, Zhou Jin continued to speak persistently. : "Brother Yuan, the director of the text has already called me just now, saying that he has found an investor and let me play the leading role."
Cao Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he knew how much Zhou Jin wanted to make this drama, although the process of this drama was a bit tortuous, but it was done after all, it was a good thing no matter what.Cao Yuan's face brightened slightly, and he said, "A blind cat can catch a dead mouse." Cao Yuan paused, then reached out and rubbed Zhou Jin's soft hair, and said, "In the future, such a big event Remember to tell me, got it? Don’t be sold out and give back the money.”
"Yeah, I see." Zhou Jin rolled over flatteringly, and rolled into Cao Yuan's arms.
Cao Yuan couldn't get angry when he was made like this, so he could only bark his teeth at Zhou Jin and said, "Next time, see if I don't blow your ass open."
=============
Another week later, Zhou Jin was ready to officially join the crew.Cao Yuan still has to take Xiaodong and Xiaoxi with him now, it is impossible to follow Zhou Jin there, he can only send Zhou Jin to the airport and let it go.
When they arrived at the parking lot of the airport, Cao Yuan began to tell Zhou Jin a few words, "After arriving at the film crew, just do a good job in filming, and don't care about anything else. This time the conditions will be more difficult than before. I don't think there will be chicken legs in the box lunch. You will just order it." .”
Zhou Jin nodded, and slowly dragged the luggage out of the back of Cao Yuan's second-hand red car.Before the person left, he was a little bit reluctant.Zhou Jin looked up at Cao Yuan seriously, and said, "Brother Yuan,"
"Ok?"
"Brother Yuan, if I make money from investing, can we buy a new car?"
Cao Yuan was slightly taken aback.He has been talking about buying a car, saying that he wants to buy it or change it, but it has not been done until now.Now that Zhou Jin mentioned it like this, Cao Yuan felt warm in his heart. This guy loves to do it, and with just a few words, he can't let go of his heart.
"Okay," Cao Yuan rubbed the soft hair on the top of Zhou Jin's head again, and said, "When you make money, you can buy any car you want, and then I will take you to take the driver's license test. What is it in the 21st century?" You don’t have to have a license, but you can’t have a motor vehicle driver’s license.”
Zhou Jin grinned when he heard that, and nodded at Cao Yuan with crooked eyebrows, and said, "Well, good, I've wanted to learn for a long time."
Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Jin, and suddenly felt a little reluctant.Once Zhou Jin entered the film crew, it was impossible for him to come out for at least three months. From Zhou Jin's time travel to the present, where did the two of them have been separated for such a long time?In the past, he was a manager, and he would follow him wherever he went. Later, when Zhou Jin had no work to do, he could look up and down when he stayed at home.Now that Zhou Jin is going to a ravine where the birds don't shit, and he will go there for three months, Cao Yuan is really worried.This guy is small in stature and likes to put everything on his shoulders. He might be bullied if he doesn't look at it.
Cao Yuan coughed lightly, took the suitcase from Zhou Jin, pushed the lever and walked forward, and said, "Now you are also an actor with money in the group, no one dares to touch you. But you also want to Be smart, when you meet someone like Wu Xiangyu and Fang Zhengyi, hide as soon as you can, you hear me?"
"Brother Yuan, I know," Zhou Jin said, "This is not the first time I've been filming."
"Yes, it's not your first time." Cao Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "When you were filming for the first time, you were asked to flop and break your elbows, and when you were filming for the second time, you almost broke He was beaten to death by Wu Xiangyu, and Fang Zhengyi was provoked during the third filming. Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin, tell me what kind of physique you have." Cao Yuan stretched out his fingers and tapped Zhou Jin's forehead .
Zhou Jin suddenly threw the luggage trolley, stretched out his arm and hooked Cao Yuan's neck, wrapped his whole body on Cao Yuan's body, and then laughed foolishly, "Brother Yuan, you actually remember it all, you remember it all."
"Of course I remember, I don't have dementia." Cao Yuan turned his head slightly, put his cheek on Zhou Jin's cheek, and hugged Zhou Jin's waist with both hands, bringing his body closer to himself. "Take care of yourself, do you hear me?"
"I heard." Zhou Jin closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
The author has something to say: "Airports have seen more real kisses than wedding halls,
Hospital walls have heard more prayers than church walls"
Swallowing this bowl of dog food with tears in my eyes, woof woof
☆、Chapter 38
Zhou Jin didn't do anything after he joined the crew, just immersed himself in studying the script and reciting lines every day.He takes this drama seriously.In his last life, he didn't live enough, wasted more than twenty years, and then died, leaving nothing behind.At that time, he didn't feel any regrets. He always thought that he was still young and had a lot of time in front of him.Now he understands that this is not the case. Time is a thing that becomes less and less every day, and no one knows what will happen in the next second.He must seize this opportunity and leave something behind before he goes.
This time the production team is not as rich as the previous ones. Director Wen knows that the funds are hard to come by, and every penny is spent wisely. He deliberately moved out all the 15-year-old antique furniture from Yujin at home, so that the interior scenery can be seen. It looks realistic, and the bloodstone pendant given by Fang Zhengyi was donated as a prop.
In the dressing room, Zhou Jin finished his makeup and changed into costumes, then took off the ring Cao Yuan gave him from his finger, and tied it around his neck with a red rope.
Makeup artist Xiao Le smiled when she saw it, but said nothing. She guessed that the ring must have been given by someone very important.She knew that the star was very concerned about this kind of personal privacy, so she pretended not to see it, and said, "Brother Zhou, take this with you." As she spoke, she handed Zhou Jin a red bloodstone pendant.
"This pendant is something Wen Daoqian told Wan Wan to take good care of. It's a real antique, and you can't buy it with money."
Zhou Jin was stunned when he saw the pendant. He recognized this pendant, and it was something he had been hanging on his body all his life.
"Brother Zhou, look, the authentic product is really different, the color is so correct." Meizhuang Xiaole said.
It was also a treasure in their place, with its true color and exquisite carving workmanship, and most importantly, this bloodstone pendant was the only thing his mother left him.
Zhou Jin couldn't express his feelings for his mother. He had never met his mother, but from the gossip in the palace rumors, he could more or less guess that his existence was not a happy event for his dead mother. .It seems that since he was born, he was hated by those who should have loved him unreservedly, and this cognition was deeply buried in his heart.
He carried this pendant with him, but he never looked at it seriously, because he didn't dare to look at it seriously, he was afraid that he would fall into this weird emotional vortex after looking at it for a long time.
Zhou Jin stretched out his hand and took the pendant.The pendant was cold, and it seemed that there were several small thorns on the skin of his palm. "Where did you buy Director Wen?" Zhou Jin asked.
"I don't know, I heard it was a gift from a friend,"
Zhou Jin lowered his head, folded his fingers together, and held the stone.The stone is smooth and moist, with a thick layer of paste on it.
"Brother Zhou is ready?" The staff came in and called.
Zhou Jin took a deep breath, hung the pendant on his waist with trembling hands, coughed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Get ready, come out right away."
Zhou Jin's first scene was a major one, in which his character Li Qi would confront the emperor head-on, and through this confrontation Li Qi realized that his father, the emperor, would never recognize him.
Li Qi's father is played by a well-known old actor, Ye Zhengqiu. He was born in a drama. After several years of playing tricks, he finally got a line, and then step by step, relying on his solid skills, he became a professional emperor. .
This scene is an interior scene, Ye Zhengqiu has already stood in the marked place, the yellow wooden bookcase behind him is a treasure that Director Wen has treasured for many years, and this time it is specially brought out as the background.Now that the lights are on, the composition of the whole picture is very antique.
After Zhou Jin took his position, the camera immediately moved over.Ye Zhengqiu flicked the props on the desk to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Look at the notes you wrote, you are full of nonsense, it is really ridiculous, rules are rules, not a joke like you."
Ye Zhengqiu had already performed his own routine. He stared slightly, his jaw retracted, and his tone was strong, with the air of an emperor. The moment he opened his mouth, everyone present was stunned.
The cameraman immediately moved the camera to Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin opened his mouth and recited the lines [-] times, [-] times, but rolled to the edge of his tongue and got stuck.
A huge incandescent lamp shone on top of Zhou Jin's head, piercing his eyes sorely, and the bloodstone hanging around his waist began to heat up slightly, and the heat gradually burned his legs, making him a little unsteady.He suddenly felt a strange airflow extending along the veins in his palm, extending into the blood vessels in his arm, and then directly impacting his Tianling Cap along the bones and flesh.He was familiar with this feeling, it was the feeling of the big bird landing on top of his head from the sky.
There is no longer a busy studio in front of him, and the sound in his ears is no longer the sound of mechanical turning. Zhou Jin feels that he is clearly in one place, but he is clearly standing in another place. His body and soul are divided into two halves. , floating in mid-air.
"Zhou Jin!" Director Wen yelled a cut angrily. He took off the earphones behind the monitor and said, "What's wrong with you? You're not in the mood at all."
Zhou Jin came back to his senses and quickly apologized: "
