"Brother Kang, you're here. Please give me some justice. Gu Mo is so rude and called me an idiot again."
After hearing Zhang Jiakang's words, Liu Bowen immediately ran over to meet him.
Then, he saw He Jiaqian standing next to the great actor Zhang, and she also showed a flattering smile: "Hello, sister-in-law, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
In the first episode, Liu Bowen accidentally offended He Jiaqian because of his outspokenness.
When he returned to the company, he was scolded by his agent.
Before coming to Qingquan Village to record the fourth episode, his agent repeatedly reminded him that if he wanted to please Zhang Jiakang, it would be best to start by gaining He Jiaqian's favor.
Even if Mr. Zhang doesn't promote him, he can still become a familiar face.
"Hello, Bowen." He Jiaqian didn't have a very good first impression of Liu Bowen, so when she heard him praise her for being 'beautiful', she just smiled politely.
More importantly, she is now in her 40s and doesn't like people judging her by her appearance.
It is far better to praise her inner qualities than her appearance.
Of course, people have double standards.
If someone close to her praises He Jiaqian for her good looks, she will also be happy.
"Bowen, Gu Mo is also my younger brother. I have to be careful with him. So, to be fair, you should ask the director to preside over this matter." At this time, Zhang Jiakang patted Liu Bowen on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Then he led the way and walked towards where the guests gathered.
"Congratulations, Ren Ya. Your new drama "A Woman at Thirty" became a hit upon its first broadcast. Your performance in the drama is excellent. You might even win an acting award." Zhang Jiakang first greeted Ren Ya, the most popular female artist in the circle.
"Thank you for your blessing, Brother Kang. I wish you good luck." Ren Ya was very happy when she saw that her acting skills were recognized by the movie emperor.
Her new drama is a huge hit, and it has high traffic. Coupled with the recognition of actor Zhang Jiakang, this matter will definitely become a hot topic.
On the vast internet, many netizens are blindly following the opinions of Zhang Jiakang, an industry authority. Perhaps the conclusion that "Ren Ya's acting is good" will become the consensus among netizens.
Gu Mo stood aside as a spectator.
He believed that Ren Ya had a high probability of winning a major award in the TV drama category. After all, Mango TV, as the organizer, had a huge influence on the China Golden Eagle Awards!
Although Mango TV cannot make the final decision on which actor will win the grand prize, the judges of the TV festival understand the ways of the world and have their own preferences.
As long as the acting skills of the candidates are not too different, it will be easy for the judges to make the 'correct' decision.
Of course, this kind of thing is an unspoken rule, and the actors who benefit from it are secretly happy.
…
"Chen Ting, your acting skills are not bad either, keep it up." As a senior in the industry, Zhang Jiakang also encouraged the junior Chen Ting.
"Thank you, Kang."
"Li Lei, long time no see. Have you been unemployed during this period?" Zhang Jiakang made a joke. What he meant by unemployed was actually that Li Lei would not be needed as the live host in the second and third episodes.
"I haven't seen you, Brother Kang, since the first episode. I couldn't sleep all night. Today, I finally saw you and sister-in-law coming.
So I flew to Qingquan Village last night." When Li Lei said this, his tone and demeanor were just right, without giving people a sense of servility.
It sounds like a joke between friends.
However, the 'actor' Liu Bowen couldn't grasp this balance. When he was trying to please Zhang Jiakang, he acted like a lowly servant!
"Haha, you're not taking a plane! This is the countryside of Xingcheng, not a village in another province."
"Hehe." Li Lei looked like a primary school student who lied that he lost his homework but was exposed by the teacher in front of him. He looked a little embarrassed and laughed.
Then, Zhang Jiakang's eyes fell on Gu Mo. He looked him up and down and joked, "Hey, isn't this my brother Mo? You're so arrogant after not seeing him for a few days. You don't even say hello to me?"
Gu Mo: "Oh, it seems that I've been performing too well recently, which has put pressure on Brother Zhang. He has taken the initiative to ask me for my greetings? Don't worry, low-key mode will be activated immediately!"
Then Gu Mo straightened his back and glanced at Zhang Jiakang expressionlessly: "Hey, isn't this my big brother Zhang? You've been so upset for a few days? You're actually working as a bodyguard for Liu Bowen?"
At this time, Liu Bowen was standing behind Zhang Jiakang, and Zhang Jiakang could barely be interpreted as a "bodyguard".
After all, there are very few "bodyguards" like Han Li, the number one swordsman in Tiannan, who habitually protect others in front of them.
"You call this low-key mode?" Zhang Jiakang was so angry at Gu Mo's words that he laughed and questioned him with a smile.
"Don't you know I'm a natural contrarian?"
"Do you have the song 'Counter-Tune'? Sing it to me." As a seasoned veteran, Zhang Jiakang was good at playing dumb and deliberately made things difficult for Gu Mo.
Gu Mo immediately transformed into a rapper and gave Zhang Jiakang an impromptu rap.
"I always feel out of place in a crowd. When they laugh, I just want to cry.
The world says that you have to go with the flow to feel comfortable. But I was born to love taking the secluded path!
Zhang Jiakang was dumbfounded and immediately cursed: "What the hell? Is there really a song called "Counter-Tune"?"
"No, I just searched it on the computer."
"There's no computer here, are you kidding me?"
Gu Mo stopped teasing Zhang Jiakang and greeted He Jiaqian directly: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much more rosy and more beautiful.
It seems that people are in high spirits because of good things happening to them!"
He Jiaqian immediately laughed: "Haha, I've been eating well and sleeping well these days, so naturally I feel better."
Compared to Liu Bowen's previous greeting, she had only been polite and perfunctory. But when faced with Gu Mo's greeting, He Jiaqian smiled broadly, her attitude completely different.
The double standards of closeness and distance are fully displayed in her.
There was nothing she could do, it was because she had a bad first impression of Liu Bowen.
There was no way, because Gu Mo had vigorously promoted the process of her remarriage with Zhang Jiakang!
Gu Mo is her half-brother, how could He Jiaqian be rude to him?
…
"Let's go inside first. It's a bit sunny outside." Zhang Jiakang made a suggestion when he saw He Jiaqian holding a wet wipe and wiping away the sweat on her forehead.
Faced with this proposal, no guest would object.
Even Gu Mo wouldn't do that!
Next, a group of people walked into the living room of the small western-style building again. The six original guests of "We Are Divorced" gathered together. Perhaps this was the last time they appeared on the show together.
Zhang Jiakang had previously told Gu Mo privately that he would announce his withdrawal after recording this episode.
This boss always does what he says.
Even if he has to pay a certain price, he has to finish the variety show recording.
Of course, Zhang Jiakang is not stupid. He will wait until the end before announcing it to the public.
Everything has a beginning and an end!
