Chapter 153 I Like the Words "Reciprocity"

Zhuang Yan said, "Zhilin, this matter was caused by you. Last time you made Dafei drink two bottles of white wine. Now we go, do you think it will be useful?"

Li Zhilin narrowed his eyes, "I won't go!"

Let him go to ask Lin Chudong? What kind of international joke is this?

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said nothing. He turned to find Shi Wei and told him about the situation.

Shi Wei immediately called Li Zhilin's boss.

In less than ten minutes, Li Zhilin received a call and was scolded. His face darkened.

"Director Zhuang, come with me."

Zhuang Yan nodded. In fact, he didn't want to go. Going to Dafei at this time would be embarrassing. Good things would not happen to him, but bad things would always happen to him.

Zhuang Yan is the director of the crew after all. It stands to reason that he has the highest status in the crew.

But with producers above him and big shots who can't afford to offend below him, it's really difficult for him to be a director.

……

Rest at noon.

Lin Chudong was having dinner with the actors. Everyone was in the same lounge. The main actors and extras were eating together. Even Lin Chudong and Liang Yin were sitting with the extras. They were having a great time.

This is a harmonious crew. There are no big stars. The biggest star is Da Fei, the boss and director. He is so down-to-earth. Compared with him, Li Zhilin is really different.

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from outside.

"Are you eating?"

Hearing this voice, everyone looked back and saw that it was Li Zhilin and Zhuang Yan!

The two main creators of "The True Colors of the Anti-Japanese War"!

Everyone knows the relationship between Li Zhilin and Lin Chudong. They are mortal enemies and have been in court.

In addition, these two dramas are both anti-Japanese dramas, so there is competition. Now he has such a sensitive identity, but he is still here. What is he doing?

Lin Chudong was stunned for a moment, "Do you two have something to do? Let's eat together. The food here is good."

Zhuang Yan's face was a little complicated. He looked around and found that compared with their side, the food of the main creative team was definitely better than that of Li Zhilin and his team.

But their big pot meal was treated equally. For ordinary actors and staff, this working meal was too luxurious.

Li Zhilin had a gloomy face and couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhuang Yan said, "Brother Fei, we are all neighbors. There is something here that needs help. We don't have enough extras. I want to ask you to borrow some. When you shoot the interior scenes, how about the extras lend it to us? We pay 200 a day, and you can still make a little money."

Before Lin Chudong could speak, a college student suddenly spoke. It was Hui Sang who had become famous for shooting videos before.

"We won't go. We will be cold and hungry in your place. Who cares about your 200 yuan?"

"Yes, we won't go!"

"This is still better. No matter how much money you pay, you won't leave."

Before Lin Chudong could express his opinion, these extras were not happy.

They are all ordinary college students, without a group leader, and they don't obey management at all. Now they listen to Brother Fei in the crew.

Zhuang Yan's face suddenly became awkward, "Everyone, we have made changes there. I didn't know the situation before. Now the treatment is very good, the food standard is the same as here, and everyone also has a red envelope."

"No."

"Yes, I won't go even if there is a red envelope."

"It's boring, I'm still waiting for the internship certificate."

"I still need to ask Brother Fei for advice on the law exam."

Don't look at these college students when they are acting. There is a clear stupidity.

But they are very smart at ordinary times, no worse than these old-timers.

Li Zhilin's crew had a bad reputation before, and was boycotted by all the extras in Jincheng. Now they want to come here to poach people, it's wishful thinking!

Li Zhilin gritted his teeth and said with a stiff face.

"Da Fei, these kids will definitely listen to you. We helped you last time, so you should give us back this time, right? We should give you a courtesy when doing things."

Li Zhilin was already speaking softly. He usually scolds whoever he wants in the crew. Apart from the big boss and the producer, when has he ever spoken to others in such a humble manner?

If the big boss hadn't spoken, Li Zhilin would never come.

Lin Chudong put down his chopsticks and said.

"That's a good point. I like the four words of courtesy and reciprocity."

"I think the two bottles of wine I drank from you last time were really delicious. Later I bought two bottles."

"Since you are here, I won't hide them. I'll lend them to you as an extra. If you can't drink them, forget it."

Liang Yin handed over two bottles of two-jin Mendaolu, exactly the same wine, with brand new packaging, and it was obvious that they were newly bought.

Li Zhilin's mouth twitched. This Da Fei is really vindictive!

This guy is too petty!

Must he retaliate?

Liang Yin crossed his arms, with a playful look on his face.

Da Fei still has a way. You, Li Zhilin, are awesome. You insist on forcing Da Fei to drink. Let's see what you can do this time!

Li Zhilin's face turned ugly, and he regretted making things difficult for Da Fei before.

Why must he be stifled? Wouldn't it be better to use a few bottles of beer? Maybe he can save face now.

Zhuang Yan said in a low voice, "Brother Fei, you see, we are all signed with the same co-production company. Give each other some face and don't make things difficult for others."

Lin Chudong sneered, "When you asked me to drink, why didn't you say you were afraid that others would be embarrassed?"

"This..."

Zhuang Yan was speechless. He was not in the right, so he naturally couldn't get the upper hand in words.

Li Zhilin gritted his teeth, "One bottle each, I drink!"

Li Zhilin picked up a bottle and handed it to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan had a bitter look on his face. Two kilograms of it would overwhelm a donkey. He wouldn't be able to drink it even if I beat him to death!

Lin Chudong didn't stop him. He was considered powerful if he could drink a bottle.

Li Zhilin picked up the bottle, took a few sips, then squirted it out and coughed violently.

The spicy feeling in his throat and esophagus made him extremely uncomfortable.

Damn it, it looked like Da Fei was drinking this stuff like water at first, but today when he drank it, it was like poison and it was hard to swallow.

Li Zhilin took a deep breath, picked up the bottle again, and took several sips. It took ten minutes, but before he drank half the bottle, he had already vomited once.

Zhuang Yan took two symbolic sips and couldn't drink it anymore. No one could drink the two bottles of wine. He originally thought of this method just to see Da Fei make a fool of himself, but who knew that Da Fei was a pervert and drank four bottles of wine in one go? catty.

Now it's their turn. How can they not be as good as Da Fei, who can't even drink until he vomits blood?

Zhuang Yan supported Li Zhilin and said, "Forget it, Zhilin, let's go."

This person must have admitted it, Zhuang Yan supported him and staggered back.

Liang Yin snorted, "You deserve it. Without the extras, they have to stop work, right?"

Lin Chudong said, "It's true that we have to stop work for a few days, but it won't mean that we won't be able to work anymore. We can still find extras."

"Ignore them, let's do our job."

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The progress on Lin Chudong's side has reached half, and the shooting is going quite smoothly.

And with these college students posting some funny videos online, "Bright Sword" has already become very popular before it even starts airing.

The behind-the-scenes of this drama were not released, but a bunch of college students made a behind-the-scenes outtake.

This is the first time I’ve seen a TV series that was riddled with extras. Da Fei’s marketing is really amazing.

During the lunch break that day, Cheng Huanhuan suddenly called.

"Brother Da Fei, are you busy filming?"

Lin Chudong: Sister Huan, what instructions do you have?

Cheng Huanhuan: Director Qiu wants to invite you to his new show. Will you take me with him? I've been idle for more than a month and I'm so anxious. For Sister Deng's sake, you have to take me, right?

Lin Chudong: ...No problem, didn't we agree before, when will Director Qiu's show be recorded?

Cheng Huanhuan: It should be three days later. You can come back now. If you want to take me on the show, don't you have to rehearse? Director Qiu said that if my popularity is high in the first episode, he will let me be the host later.

Lin Chudong: No problem, just wait for me. I will fly over tomorrow and I will make arrangements for the crew.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chudong began to arrange things for the crew.

During the two days when he was gone, the main plot would definitely not be able to progress, but we could shoot some scenery material and use it later when editing.

Other non-related personnel should just take it as a break. Taking two days off is nothing to Da Fei.

In the evening, Qiu Chengdong also called and confirmed the invitation to Da Fei to appear on the show.

This is a comedy variety show, mainly featuring cross talk sketches, with some well-known actors. It can be regarded as the "I Am the King of Singer" in the comedy world.

That program was so popular that Qiu Chengdong also wanted to copy it.

After all, comedy programs actually have a larger audience than song programs, and maybe the ratings can hit a new high.

The show is called "I Am a Comedian", and the competition format is similar to "I Am the King of Singer". There are several groups of starting comedians, and the audience votes to score points. However, what is more cruel is that one comedian is eliminated in each episode, and one comedian is eliminated in each episode. If you don't perform well, you will be eliminated directly.

This is CCTV and it won't give you so many opportunities.

After signing an electronic agreement with Liang Yin online, Qiu Chengdong generously gave two million and invited Da Fei at the market price, which made Liang Yin very satisfied.

Appearing on CCTV is usually for the sake of fame. Now that Dafei has gained both fame and fortune, the salary is indeed high enough.

After it was determined, the poster was made overnight. I didn't go to shoot it specifically. I asked for a photo of Da Fei and directly uploaded it.

In the promotional poster, Da Fei is in the C position, bigger and more conspicuous than others.

CCTV's programs, that is, news programs and party programs, are relatively strong. If we really want to talk about variety shows, they have to be local stations.

Therefore, Director Qiu must ride on the popularity of Da Fei when promoting this show.

Liang Yin looked at the photo with a happy face.

"Da Fei, this time we are finally the main ones."

…

Mao Feifei and Chen Ya just came out of the seafood market, bought some sea cucumbers, two salmon, turtles and other things, packed a suitcase, and then drove to the hotel.

On the way, Chen Ya said, "My dad specifically asked your leader to make an appointment with Director Qiu this time. The leader of your drama troupe has a lot of connections, so Director Qiu should give him face and not say bad things about my dad this time, right?" "

Mao Feifei gave a wry smile, "I wasn't angry that day. When did I say bad things about my dad? I owe everything I have today to my dad. This program "Comedian" is tailor-made for me. I will be on this program." It will definitely become popular!”

After all, Mao Feifei has been on the Spring Festival Gala and worked with Teacher Zhao. It would be a pity if he didn't show up on this show.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Qiu Chengdong was having dinner with a middle-aged man, and the two were chatting happily.

Qiu Chengdong was also polite to the other party. This was Jiang Lei, the leader of the Beijing Repertory Theater, his old leader.

Seeing Mao Feifei and his wife coming, Qiu Chengdong frowned slightly. In fact, he already knew the meaning of today's meal. Although he was still angry, he had to give it to the old leader.

Mao Feifei said, "Director Qiu, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble last time. You must forgive me. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine. If you don't feel relieved, you can just beat me!"

Jiang Lei said, "Yes, this kid just needs a beating and has a bad temper. Xiao Qiu, if he dares to show his teeth to you again, you call me and I will beat him!"

Now that the words have come to this point, Qiu Chengdong can't say anything else.

"Haha, that thing is over. Who is still young and frivolous? If you want to be on this comedian show, I will definitely give you the respect of the old leader. But there is no shady story in my show. How far can you go? It’s all your own business.”

Mao Feifei quickly accompanied her with a smile, "Thank you so much, Director Qiu. Don't worry, I have a few scripts in my mind. The scripts are very new. I just need this platform to show myself."

Qiu Chengdong said calmly, "Don't be too confident. Let me tell you in advance. In addition to several well-known comedians, I also invited Da Fei for this show. You also saw Da Fei's performance at the Lantern Festival Gala. Da Fei is a very strong player, he can write, direct and act.”

"Apart from him, several other comedians are also quite strong, and your reputation can only be regarded as average."

Mao Feifei said, "Haha, Director Qiu, the review system of the Spring Festival Gala still limits my performance. Besides, a person like Da Fei may have accumulated a lifetime of accumulation and created a good program. If he competes continuously, he won't be able to perform well." Probably better than a professional comedian.”

"I may not be confident about others, but I think it's pretty safe to eliminate him."

Qiu Chengdong didn't respond. This time it was to give the old leader face. Since he was so confident, let him go.

…

The next day, Lin Chudong explained everything to the crew and came to the capital.

Deng Siqing and Cheng Huanhuan picked up the plane.

"The two great hosts picked me up together. I was flattered."

Cheng Huanhuan said, "I can't help it. Now I rely on Brother Fei for a living, so I have to serve him well."

Lin Chudong smiled and said, "Sister Huan, can you do a skit? It's fine if I take you on the show. Don't hold me back if you don't let go."

He had seen Cheng Huanhuan's hosting, and it was actually pretty good, with sharp tongue and quick reactions.

But there is still a big difference between hosting a show and performing. Especially for a beauty like her, she is most afraid of being unable to let go.

Cheng Huanhuan said, "Don't worry, I'm too relaxed. You can let me do a kissing scene with you."
