It was already late at night. Li Zhao didn't let Yan Ting have a midnight snack. He went to the kitchen to heat a cup of milk for him: "Drink the milk and go to bed early. I will report to the crew tomorrow."
"A new play?"
"One of the seven male supporting actors in the female lead's movie." Li Zhao smiled, "My schedule has been relatively relaxed recently, so I went to the movie industry to make some familiar faces."
In the past two years, the public has become increasingly repulsive to traffic actors. If young actors want to develop in the entertainment industry for a long time, they need more effort and opportunities, otherwise they will become firework sticks that cost ten yuan a bunch on the roadside. After burning out their own interests, they will be discarded as garbage.
The development path arranged for him by Strawberry Entertainment is what many young artists want to have but cannot have.
He acts with movie stars, takes on endorsements for high-end brands, and rarely accepts collaborations that won’t help his development.
"Leaving tomorrow morning?" Yan Ting paused slightly while holding the milk.
"Yes." Li Zhao nodded, "But most of the scenes were filmed in Beijing."
"Okay." Yan Ting looked at the corner of Li Zhao's mouth, then looked away. "You should go to bed early. I'll watch TV for a while."
"It's so late, why are you still watching TV?" Li Zhao laughed, "Go to bed."
"Tonight's episode of 'Tian Ge' has been updated to episode 5, and you will appear on the show." Yan Ting turned on the TV. "I won't be going to the company tomorrow morning, so I can stay up late."
Li Zhao: “…”
For the sake of tomorrow's makeup effect, he can't stay up late.
After Li Zhao returned to the room, Yan Ting turned on the playback function of the TV and played the fifth episode of "Tian Ge".
As a large-scale historical TV series, the emperor played by Lu Hao is remarkable and there is nothing wrong with him.
The famous minister played by Li Zhao's appearance and looks were very consistent with the beautiful posture described in history books as soon as he appeared on the stage. The director seemed to want to highlight this feature and gave Li Zhao a very beautiful slow shot.
The elegant young man with red lips and white teeth lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled, which was enough to make everything in the world pale in comparison.
Yan Ting pressed the pause button.
He quietly looked at the handsome young man on the large screen, took out the bottle of medicine from his coat pocket, and swallowed it with a blank expression.
"Tingting."
Yan Ting looked up and saw Li Zhao lying on the railing on the second floor with his upper body sticking out.
Yan Ting's face suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly, and the medicine bottle in his hand fell to the ground, with the pills rolling all over the floor.
"Go back, don't lie there." Yan Ting's voice was hoarse. He stared at Li Zhao blankly, and his voice became small and cautious: "Zhao Zhao, you step back."
Li Zhao had never seen Yan Ting show such a horrified expression. He took a step back obediently: "Tingting, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Yan Ting bent down and put the pills into the bottle. Before Li Zhao went downstairs, he put the bottle into his coat pocket. "The housekeeper said that the railing is a bit loose. It's not safe to lie there."
The room was too quiet, so he unpaused the show and let it continue.
"I forgot to take my phone." Li Zhao walked to the sofa, picked up his phone, stared at himself on TV for a few seconds, and said with a smile, "I tried several angles to take the shot of lifting the curtain, but I didn't expect to use the first set of lenses."
“It looks very nice.”
"Really?" Li Zhao touched his chin. "The director said that I am the most beautiful person in this drama, and I have as many costumes as the male lead."
"Really." Yan Ting nodded and reached out to help him straighten the shoulders of his pajamas: "Go to bed early."
"Then I'll go to bed first, and you shouldn't stay up too late." Li Zhao walked to the stairs, turned around and glanced at Yan Ting's coat pocket, then returned to the room in silence.
The housekeeper told him that every item in the house would be checked regularly to ensure the safety of every corner of the house.
He thought again of what Song Yu had said.
Tingting once witnessed her mother jumping from a high place at home.
From now on… he tried not to lie on the fence in front of Tingting.
"Tian Ge" is broadcasted in prime time on the national channels 1 and 8, and has a basic viewership rating. As long as the film is not earth-shatteringly bad, the rating will not fall apart.
Perhaps it’s because recent dramas are so bad that young audiences who have nothing to watch started to recommend the drama spontaneously after watching a few episodes of “Tian Ge”.
The costumes and props are very sophisticated, the actresses' makeup is not the same old modern makeup, the actors' acting skills are on point throughout, and even the extras are very serious.
After watching the 50th and 6th episodes, some viewers expressed their feelings that Lord Xu, played by Li Zhao, was enough to make women scream as soon as he appeared on the stage, which was in line with the description in history books as "a face as handsome as jade, with a beautiful figure".
Some people also praised Director Yang for his excellent casting. Even Song Yu in the play abandoned the domineering style and his acting skills soared like an elevator.
Fish fans were extremely moved. It was the first time that their little fish was not criticized for his acting skills but was praised. This was a revolutionary progress.
Of course, the most forwarded one is the animated picture of Lord Xu lifting the curtain of the carriage and smiling.
Countless people felt the excitement in front of this animated picture.
After the fifth episode was broadcast, the ratings of the sixth episode increased significantly and the network index also began to rise.
On some entertainment gossip forums, someone created a special plot thread for "Tian Ge". The animated picture of Li Zhao in the play attracted hundreds of replies.
1531L: When the crew of "Tian Ge" officially announced the cast at the beginning, I complained that Strawberry Entertainment dared to participate in any drama in order to promote newcomers. Now I want to repent that I shouldn't have doubted my boyfriend's acting skills and appearance.
1542L: The previous posters should be more reserved. A man can’t just be judged by his appearance, but also by his inner qualities. I am attracted by Li Zhao’s inner qualities, and I am okay with that.
1653L: A good director can really help an actor improve. Compared to “The Boss Girl”, Li Zhao’s acting skills and sense of camera are much stronger.
1710L: Song Yu looks much better in this drama. This is the charm of a good crew.
After the broadcast of "Tian Ge", it received rave reviews and the ratings have been rising steadily. In the current situation where the overall TV ratings are very bleak, after the six episodes were aired, the ratings had exceeded 2 points.
Such ratings would have been insignificant ten years ago, but now that online dramas dominate the market, "Tian Ge" has such high ratings just a few days after its launch, and it can almost secure the title of this year's ratings champion.
Moreover, this drama brought benefits to almost everyone. Not only the main characters, but also the supporting characters received great attention, especially Li Zhao, whose popularity was almost as high as that of the main character.
However, all of Lu Hao’s fans know that Lu Hao and Li Zhao have a good relationship and are artists from the same company. After Lu Hao signed with Strawberry Entertainment, he got two first-line endorsements, a movie directed by a famous director, and his fashion resources also improved a lot.
Lu Hao's fans did not dislike Li Zhao because of this. Instead, they had a good relationship with Li Zhao's fans and sometimes even helped Li Zhao with voting data.
Li Zhao joined the crew of "Seven Boyfriends", and everyone in the crew was very friendly to him. Although the atmosphere of the crew was not as comfortable as "Shadow of the Sky", the filming went smoothly.
In order to fit in with Li Zhao's character setting in the play, all of his clothes are provided by big brands, and his car is also a limited edition luxury car rented by the crew at a huge expense.
People in the crew called him Mr. Li every day, which made him feel like a rich young man.
A gossip reporter sneaked into the crew and was surprised to hear that everyone in the crew, including the female lead, was called Li Zhao Li Shao. He went back and wrote an article in a very eloquent way - "The poor orphan turned out to be the lost son of a wealthy family."
In this article, the reporter, speaking in the voice of an insider who witnessed everything that happened at the scene, wrote about a heroic and strong child, how he became a popular star, how he was discovered by a wealthy family, and finally how the father and son recognized each other and reached the peak of their lives.
After the article came out, it was discovered by some marketing accounts and reposted. The reason for reposting was that people could appreciate the wonderful article.
No one believed the authenticity of the article, but they were amused by the gossip reporter's amazing imagination. Everyone advised the reporter to change his career, saying that it was a waste of his talent to be a gossip reporter with such a good talent for making up stories.
For example, the famous Green River Literary City contains all kinds of touching stories. It would be a pity not to develop there.
The crew of "Seven Boyfriends" did not expect that they would become a hot topic because of a fabricated article.
Liu Fen joked with Li Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, you saved the crew some publicity money. I'll ask the producer to give you a red envelope later."
Li Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This story was so well-made that if he was not involved in the story, he would have almost believed it after reading the article.
He became famous for more than half a year after filming "The Boss". Even the national TV station started broadcasting TV series in which he participated. The ratings and reputation were good, but no one has come forward to say whose child he might be.
perhaps……
He was destined to come into this world alone.
The phone vibrated. Li Zhao turned it on and saw a message from Yan Ting.
[Yan Ting: When will you be back tonight? We have airlifted some fresh ingredients from home and will cook them for you when you come back. 】
The slight sense of loss in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
It doesn’t matter anymore, he has Tingting now.
"Mr. Li." The executive walked over with a smile, "Get ready, the next scene is yours."
"Mr. Li" is now the joke of the crew. Whenever someone calls him that, there will be a burst of laughter, and even the director can't help laughing.
Liu Fen is very kind to Li Zhao in private, but she has high demands when filming.
Li Zhao acted opposite her for a few days and learned a lot of useful things.
After shooting all the shots for today, the sunset had dyed the entire sky red, and Li Zhao said goodbye to the crew.
"Zhao Zhao, I heard that you asked for leave tomorrow?" Liu Fen still had to shoot two night scenes and looked a little haggard.
"Yes." Li Zhao nodded: "Fill in the college entrance examination application tomorrow."
Liu Fen was in a trance for a moment, then smiled: "That's great."
The word "college entrance examination" brought back her memories of her girlhood. At that time, she had a crush on the tall and thin class monitor. Later, she was admitted to the Film Academy. She has been working hard in the entertainment industry over the years and has long forgotten what that boy looked like.
It doesn’t matter who you liked at that time, but that kind of ignorant girlish heart is worth remembering.
"Have you decided which school to apply to?" Liu Fen smiled charmingly, "You are still young, don't fall in love in school, it will affect your career development."
"Sister Fenfen, stop joking." Li Zhao smiled embarrassedly, "I haven't thought about dating yet. As for school... I would probably choose Jingshi University. They have several majors, and I don't have to report to school every day. It is also related to film and television, which may be more suitable for my current situation."
"Alas, with your grades, if you don't enter the entertainment industry, you will also be a high-IQ elite." Putting aside Li Zhao's friendship with Strawberry and Canghuan executives, Liu Fen also has a good impression of Li Zhao. She nodded and said, "After filling in the major, don't disclose it to the media for the time being, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."
"I know, thank you Sister Fenfen."
After the online application process was opened, Li Zhao and Yan Ting sat in front of the computer and carefully compared the school and major numbers several times before submitting the information.
Looking at the successful submission notification, Li Zhao was a little dazed. He looked at the computer desktop and then at Yan Ting: "Tingting, am I really going to college?"
The dream that he once had to give up has finally come true today, and he feels a little dazed after the joy.
Yan Ting reached out and gently pinched his earlobe: "Do you feel it?"
"A little...itchy?" Li Zhao looked at Yan Ting in a daze.
"That's true." Yan Ting's hand gently passed over Li Zhao's shoulder and patted his arm. "During the two days you were filming, Jingshi University and Shuimu University called me several times. Both schools are trying to get you to join."
The information files of college entrance examination candidates contain not only the candidates’ contact information, but also the phone number of their guardians.
Li Zhao has no guardian and is busy filming, so he filled in Yan Ting’s phone number in the guardian information section.
Every year, the top-ranked candidates from all over the country are the objects of competition among the top ten prestigious universities. Sometimes, the competition between Shuimu University and Jingshi University for students has become a hot topic among netizens.
In the eyes of most people, students who are actively sought after by two schools at the same time are already winners in life.
"When the admission letter comes, I will hold a graduation banquet for you." Yan Ting thought about this question seriously, "Invite all your good friends."
"This...is not necessary."
"Yes." Yan Ting explained, "After college entrance examination candidates from all over the country get good scores, their families will hold a banquet for them. So I will host this banquet for you."
Li Zhao felt his chest was a little out of control, and he jumped a few times faster: "Okay."
Tingting is making up for what she once didn't dare to possess little by little.
On the afternoon of the day when he filled out his college entrance examination application form, the official Weibo account of the variety show that Li Zhao participated in released some promotional trailers.
Pear fans and the audience saw in the trailer that Li Zhao was suddenly attacked and fell heavily to the ground. The staff of the program team ran towards Li Zhao in panic.
Die-hard viewers of the show know that when a regular guest falls ill, a temporary guest fills in. But neither they nor other passers-by expected that the temporary guest was Li Zhao, and he seemed to be injured during the show.
"I slowed down the clip and found that Li Zhao was injured in one leg. Someone kicked him hard."
"Emmm, even if it's just a game, there's no need to kick so hard, right?"
"Li Zhao was just a temporary guest to help out, he wasn't trying to steal other people's resources, which guest would be so ruthless?"
"Combined with the pants and shoes worn by the guests in other clips, we have already locked on the suspect."
After watching the promotional trailer released by the program team, Xu Bei asked his agent to contact the program team in a corrupt manner and ask them what they meant by doing this.
The program said: "We just used the camera to faithfully record what happened during the filming of the program, and we did not target any guest."
Xu Bei was furious: "I think they want me to die and use me as a sacrifice to gain ratings."
He clearly didn't hurt Li Zhao in the slightest, so why should he bear such a bad name?
"Go tell the production team that I'm a member of the Xu family, and ask them to think carefully before doing anything."
At this time, he could only use this trick, even though he was extremely afraid of Xu Yanting.
But apart from his identity as Boss Cang Huan's distant cousin, there was nothing else that could make the production team back off.
The author has something to say: Zhao Zhao got the first place in the class.
The next day, Tingting's little schoolbag was filled with snacks, and he distributed them to all the children in the class with an expressionless face.
The teacher asked: Baby Tingting, why do you want to share snacks with everyone?
Tingting looked serious: Congratulations to Zhaozhao for getting the first place in the exam, let’s celebrate together with the general class.
teacher:……
