After all the guests had finished their dinner, the director organized the recording of the show’s final segment, this episode of "Go, Eaters!" The filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was successfully completed.
Next was a dinner party for the directors and staff, and they brought along Lu Yun who was eliminated in the dinner challenge.
Of course, if any guest did not have enough for dinner, the director team also welcomes them to join the dinner.
Jiang Dao had a stomach full of soup and was so full that he couldn't eat any more. He said hello to Zhu Yao and ran to the resort's artificial lake again to stroll around and digest his food.
It was already dark by then, and simple-looking street lamps were lit up by the lake. The night breeze was also cooler than during the day. There was no one around, the birds had returned to their nests, the fish in the lake had stopped struggling, and the whole world seemed extremely peaceful and quiet.
After walking two laps, Jiang Dao felt that the pain in his stomach was no longer there, so he slowly ran along the shore of the lake.
There were no recording tasks next, and they would stay directly at the resort at night, so he didn't have to worry about his image and could finally run around freely.
…
At the same time, on a balcony somewhere in the resort hotel, Chu Yinlong leaned against the railing and looked far away at the artificial lakeshore dotted with street lights.
"I didn't realize that Xiaodao was working so hard." Tang Yao was holding a bottle of soda water and standing opposite Chu Yinlong. "He did eat a little more today. He should go for a run."
Chu Yinlong didn't say anything, still staring at the running figure by the lake.
Tang Yao laughed and said, "You're lucky. You came to help me out in an emergency, and you also caught a good newcomer. When does Director Mu plan to start preparing to shoot that script?"
"Not sure yet. He has two films on hand right now. One has just started preparations, and the other is about to start filming. As for the script... we have to wait, and I don't know how long it will take."
Chu Yinlong said, and after a moment's silence, he added: "Although Jiang Dao's temperament is very suitable for Little Gray Wolf, he doesn't seem to be willing to act. Moreover, as an artist who came from a talent show, I am worried that he will not be able to meet Director Mu's requirements... Let's wait and see. I have made an appointment with Director Mu to participate in "Taoyuan" and let him investigate it himself."
"Don't want to act?" Tang Yao looked strange, "Did you invite him personally?"
"Yeah." Chu Yinlong laughed, "I didn't expect to be rejected."
"It seems that the reputation of the movie king is not enough." Tang Yao laughed a few times with gloating, "It's really rare to see a newcomer who doesn't want to act. Weiwei is different. He said before that he lost an opportunity to act in a web drama and cried... Fortunately, he was notified yesterday that he didn't lose the role. He seems to be in good spirits today."
Hearing him suddenly mention Zhou Wei, Chu Yinlong asked: "You have so many friends, but you have to ask me to help Dahua take the position. Do you have any ulterior motives?"
Tang Yao was not polite: "Yes, Weiwei is a talented child who is willing to work hard, and I want you to take a look. If there is a chance, give him a hand. If there is no chance, forget it, and I won't force it."
Chu Yinlong thought for a moment and said, "There is no suitable one for him at the moment. Let him gain experience in online dramas first. It would be too stressful for him to go straight to the big screen."
Tang Yao laughed, "Why is it so stressful for him? We are both talent shows, so why are you attracted to Xiaodao? Xiaodao is not a professional artist either, so aren't you afraid that he will be stressed?"
"Jiang Dao?" Chu Yinlong glanced at the artificial lake and said with a smile, "He dared to challenge me on our first meeting. He was so disrespectful. Does he know what pressure is?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have no respect for your elders?" Tang Yao crossed his arms and pouted, "Do you really think of yourself as an elder?"
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows: "I have been in the industry for 20 years, but I am not an old generation?"
Tang Yao had nothing to say and gave Chu Yinlong a thumbs up.
…
After running around the artificial lake three times briskly, Jiang Dao slowly stopped, walked around again, and only turned back to the hotel when his breathing had almost calmed down.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Wei was waiting for him downstairs in the hotel.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Dao raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"Um..." Zhou Wei hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My agent just told me that you gave up the second male lead in Love?"
Hearing this, Jiang Dao couldn't help but frown.
This happened almost two days ago, how come Zhou Wei just found out about it?
Seeing Jiang Dao frowning and not answering, Zhou Wei bit her lip and said, "Although, I am very grateful for giving me this opportunity, but..."
"No 'but'," Jiang Dao interrupted Zhou Wei, "and there's no need to thank me. I just felt that the role wasn't suitable for me. I heard... well, I heard there was a kissing scene... I didn't want to do a kissing scene so soon, so I refused."
Although, the plot in the original book was that the female lead actress changed her mind at the last minute and was unwilling to film a kissing scene with the second male lead, and in the end the scene where the second male lead got drunk and forcibly kissed the female lead was deleted.
But Zhou Wei didn't know how the matter would develop later, so it was appropriate to use the kissing scene as an excuse at this time.
Sure enough, although Zhou Wei was a little surprised, he obviously believed Jiang Dao's words.
"I didn't come to you to ask why you refused." Zhou Wei whispered, "I just wanted to express my gratitude... But it's a pity that you just rejected this opportunity... How about adding each other as friends? If I encounter an opportunity that suits you in the future, I will tell you."
Add friends?
Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows.
He had basically figured out the communication equipment in this world on the first day he came here.
The social software called "WeChat" is used very frequently in this world. Basically, people who know each other and have some contact with each other in real life will add each other as friends on WeChat.
But how come… Zhou Wei and Jiang Dao are both newcomers from the same company and have participated in a talent show together, but they have never added each other as friends before?
It is impossible to verify whether Zhou Wei was too shy or the original owner Jiang Dao was too bad.
Jiang Dao felt in his pocket and found that his cell phone was not on him. He smiled apologetically at Zhou Wei and said, "The cell phone is in the room. I'll go back and get it."
Zhou Wei immediately said: "Then let's go together, I will go back too."
The two of them walked side by side to the door of Jiang Dao's guest room, and happened to meet Tang Yao coming out of Chu Yinlong's room next door.
"Hey, why are you two back together?" Tang Yao greeted with a smile, "Doesn't Weiwei live downstairs?"
"He left his phone in the room, so I came to find him and add him on WeChat." Zhou Wei had no intention of hiding anything.
Hearing this, Tang Yao smiled and said, "That's great. I'll add Xiaodao on WeChat too."
After saying that, he turned around and called out to Chu Yinlong, "Brother Long, join us!"
Jiangdao: ...
How come he is so popular all of a sudden after running around for a few laps?
Chu Yinlong has been paying attention to him for some inexplicable reason. Jiang Dao knows it, but why does Tang Yao also come to join in the fun?
"Go get your phone, we'll wait for you."
Seeing Jiang Dao standing there in a daze, Tang Yao urged him with a smile.
Helplessly, Jiang Dao had to go into the house to get his phone, and added Zhou Wei, Tang Yao and Chu Yinlong as friends one by one. Only then did Tang Yao feel satisfied and took Zhou Wei away, returning to the floor where the resident guests and staff stayed.
Jiang Dao ignored Chu Yinlong who was still standing at the door, and went back to the room and closed the door.
…
When Jiang Dao came out of the shower, he found that Zhu Yao had finished the dinner and was making a phone call on the balcony of his room.
After listening to a few sentences casually, Jiang Dao judged that the company's higher-ups must have assigned Zhu Yao another artist and asked him to focus his work on the newcomer for the time being.
Jiangdao lazily leaned into the armchair beside the bed and wiped his hair into a mess with a towel.
"Okay, I understand. Well, don't worry."
Zhu Yao quickly ended the call, hung up the phone, and sighed.
Jiang Dao wiped his hair and asked casually, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
He and Zhu Yao did not live in the same room, but as the agent, Zhu Yao took the other door card of the room. Coming here at this time shouldn't be for chatting.
Zhu Yao frowned and looked at Jiang Dao: "Put on your clothes."
Jiangdao looked down at himself, reached out to gather his open bathrobe, and casually tied the belt.
Zhu Yao had a blank expression on his face: "I asked you to change into pajamas! Don't dress like this, what if someone comes to see you, and you open the door naked?"
"Why are you naked?" Jiang Dao defended, "I'm wearing underwear and a robe."
Zhu Yao was silent for a moment, and finally resisted the urge to curse.
"I just received a notice from the company that you are invited to participate in the recording of "Taoyuan Dreamland". The schedule will be on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of next month, for two days and three nights."
He stated his purpose directly, but his tone was a little strange: "This program has been running for six years, and its popularity has always been high. It's a good opportunity. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Dao was surprised: "You didn't agree directly?"
He also thought that Zhu Yao would be fully responsible for all his work arrangements.
Zhu Yao pushed his glasses and said, "I should have agreed on your behalf, but I always feel that something is wrong. With the reputation and popularity of this show, they took the initiative to invite you... To be honest, your current status and works are not enough for them to pay attention to you."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Dao understood.
It was probably Chu Yinlong who recommended him, so a variety show with such a good reputation invited him.
I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Thinking about the conversation in the afternoon, Jiang Dao asked, "How much does this program pay?"
Zhu Yao: ...
Jiang Dao added: "If you pay more, I'll go. If you pay less, forget it."
Zhu Yao could no longer bear it: "You go! Even if you have to pay for it, you have to go to this show!"
Hearing the gnashing tone, Jiang Dao was amused: "Then why are you asking me?"
"I'm just worried that you've agreed to something behind my back that you shouldn't have agreed to." Zhu Yao said calmly, "But seeing as you're determined to retire, I don't think you'll rush to throw yourself at me."
Jiang Dao curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
Zhu Yao reminded him again: "It's best not to cause any scandals. Even if there are seniors who are willing to help you, you should be careful about your own behavior."
Jiang Dao looked at Zhu Yao solemnly: "Don't worry."
After giving a few more instructions, Zhu Yao left Jiang Dao's room.
Jiangdao threw the wet towel casually on the back of the armchair, took off his bathrobe, threw himself on the bed wearing only his underwear, and rolled over in the soft bedding.
Record a variety show, then record a variety show.
After recording today's variety show, he thought he had gotten a grasp of some of the tricks of this job.
Compared to the fighting on the battlefields he had experienced, this job was too easy for him and he could make money almost easily.
If that’s the case, why not do it?
