Chapter 607 Expected date of delivery, precursor to launch
After the nominations for the 34th Eagle Awards were announced, there was heated discussion for a few days, and then the popularity slowly subsided.
There are still two months until the Eagle Awards Ceremony, but netizens' attention is shifting quickly.
As for Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er's stay at home waiting for childbirth, it has long been forgotten by the public.
After that, the entertainment news that hit the hot searches was either that a certain top star had accepted a new endorsement.
A certain ancient puppet became popular, and the Explosive Emperor really exploded this time.
Mist Theater has another new drama that has a good reputation, and Prince Dou finally has a work that has a good reputation.
In order to compete with Fog Theater, Penguin Video also began to vigorously explore the suspense drama market and began to try to invest in film and television companies to shoot suspense dramas.
There has always been a market for suspense dramas.
Audiences who like to watch suspense dramas usually have higher requirements on logic.
Relatively speaking, the overlap between audiences who like to watch ancient puppets and those who like to watch suspense dramas is relatively small.
Therefore, while ancient puppets dominate the field of TV dramas, suspense dramas also have a separate world.
The success of Mist Theater, from a certain perspective, is a successful case of differentiated competition.
Since all video platforms are investing heavily in filming ancient puppets.
And Gu Ou also feels that it is very promising. It does not require a large investment. As long as you invest, even if the film is relatively average, there will be audiences who will like to watch it, and you will not suffer losses.
Moreover, once ancient puppets become popular, they usually make several actors famous.
Film and television companies in the industry also like to film ancient puppets and praise their own actors.
After all, ancient puppets do not have such high requirements for acting skills, and they are easy to admire.
Moreover, it is too easy for a hot actor to make money after he becomes famous.
Even if the pay is not high when filming a drama, as long as one movie is popular, the traffic will come, and you will be able to make a lot of money.
Therefore, the current TV drama market is the market for ancient puppets.
The three major video websites have formed a pattern. Basically every important period, there will be ancient puppets on the air.
This kind of TV drama environment has also led to viewers who have high requirements for logic and don't like to lick the screen to complain a lot about TV dramas.
Under such circumstances, Mist Theater emerged.
Saved viewers who like suspense dramas.
When costumed idol dramas fight each other on the main battlefield, Mist Theater unifies the audience who don't like watching costumed idols.
And this audience group is actually quite large.
In the past, film and television companies did not like to serve this audience group.
Because this audience group has high requirements for TV dramas, plot logic, and even acting skills.
Serving this audience group means spending more energy than the ancient puppets, but not getting as much as the ancient puppets.
However, when all film and television companies abandoned this audience group.
As long as a film and television company steps forward and produces an excellent work, it will be a direct massacre and capture this entire audience group.
"White Night" and "The Dark One" appeared under such circumstances.
In addition to Ark Culture, Wandou Film and Television, a subsidiary of Wandou Video, is also investing in suspense drama projects.
After all, Mist Theater is not an exclusive channel of Ark Culture. Wandou Video will also invest in other suspense dramas to enrich this suspense drama theme.
"Remaining Sins" is an exclusive drama produced by Fang Xing for the first quarter of this year at Mist Theater.
Moreover, Ark Culture has no other suspense dramas this year.
Wandou Video invested in the filming of "Black Begonia", which was broadcast in the second quarter of Fog Theater. The broadcast performance also suffered setbacks.
Douya.com scored 7.8 points.
Although it did not reach 8 points, in fact, if a TV series reaches 7 points, it means that the audience thinks it is good.
A score of 8 is excellent, a score of 9 is great.
And this "Black Begonia" can score 7.8 points, which shows that the audience thinks this drama is also an excellent TV drama even if it is rounded up.
Although "Black Begonia" is not as good as "White Night" and "The Dark One", if it is played in the Fog Theater, it can fully hold up the scene.
After all, we cannot require every play in Mist Theater to be a divine drama. This is unrealistic.
As long as the plot is exciting, the logic is self-consistent, and the audience can keep watching, it has been successful.
Moreover, there are not many TV series that can reach 7.8 points every year.
The performance of "Black Begonia" is not bad, and Wandou Video has also proved that it is capable of sustaining the Mist Theater brand without being produced by Ark Culture.
However, it also proves that the suspense dramas produced by Ark Culture are still unique and difficult to surpass.
therefore.
Whenever Gong Jianbin had the chance to meet Fang Xing, he would talk about the new drama at Mist Theater.
However, Fang Xing always refused directly and asked him to hold on until he had time.
Fang Xing is now concentrating on accompanying his wife during the pregnancy, and doesn't care about other things.
…
As major colleges and universities resume school, Zhong Keke returns to school to report.
Lu Xiang'er's due date is getting closer and closer.
The closer to the due date, the more the baby moves and becomes stronger.
Therefore, sometimes Lu Xiang'er would be kicked awake in the middle of the night and then fall asleep again.
Fang Xing had indeed carefully read the accompanying childbirth guide, so every time he found Lu Xiang'er awake in the middle of the night, he would ask, "Do you feel any pain? If you feel pain, tell her immediately."
Lu Xiang'er has been in a bad mood these days, because the bigger her belly will squeeze other organs, causing a lot of discomfort, especially going to the toilet is very troublesome.
Although she had endured a lot, Fang Xing found that she was stronger.
Normally she is like a child, laughing and joking, but when she touches her belly and talks to the baby, she suddenly gains a layer of maternal brilliance.
Both mothers live here for easy care.
When Fang's mother gets up every day to make breakfast, she will ask: "Do you feel sore and swollen in your back? If so, it's almost time to give birth."
Lu Xiang'er shook her head: "It seems not yet..."
In fact, she didn't know what so-called soreness felt like.
Although occasionally she would be kicked awake by the baby when she was sleeping, she felt fine and could continue to sleep in a daze.
In the group of pregnant women she joined at the hospital, some pregnant mothers were not feeling so well.
There was even a video posted of a pregnant mother kicking her baby in the belly. The kick was so exaggerated that she was so hard that the prints of her feet could be seen clearly through her belly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It almost deformed the whole stomach.
Every time Lu Xiang'er sees this kind of video, she will touch her belly and sigh: "Our baby is the best, I know I feel sorry for my mother."
Lu Xiang'er also showed Fang Xing the video she saw in the group.
After reading it, Fang Xing commented: "The children in this family are really annoying."
As the due date approaches, both families begin to prepare.
There are boxes after boxes of various maternal and infant products.
One of the boxes is for going to the obstetrics ward, and everything from baby milk powder to maternity pads to energy drinks is prepared.
Although hospitals usually have these things, it is still important to be prepared.
…
As the due date was getting closer, Fang Xing was thinking about whether to go to the obstetrics department of the hospital in advance.
However, Lu Xiang'er still wanted to stay at home.
Because being at home can make her feel more at ease. After all, being at home can give her more security.
The two mothers have a relatively stable mentality. After all, they are people who have experienced it and know what is going on.
According to them, pregnancy and childbirth are indeed a big event, but there is no need to be so nervous and just keep a normal mind.
Besides, medicine is so advanced now that only a few people encounter problems.
However, ever since Lu Xiang'er began to care about maternal and infant topics, various apps began to push related topics to her like crazy.
Among them are some topics about maternal and child trafficking and anxiety.
For example, postpartum problems and various diseases are very scary to watch.
When Lu Xiang'er first read these, she was still very nervous, but after reading more, she realized that these articles were selling anxiety.
Strictly speaking, there must be some sequelae caused by pregnancy and childbirth, but looking at the sample regardless of the base number is not objective.
Although Lu Xiang'er could understand these principles, when she was anxious, she would still seek comfort in Fang Xing's arms.
…
As time slowly comes to mid-September.
The due date is getting closer and closer.
One night, Lu Xiang'er was kicked awake again. When she sat up from the bed, she still felt a little pain, but only a little.
She looked back and saw Fang Xing sleeping like a sloth, and felt inexplicably angry.
She really wanted to kick Fang Xing awake, but in the end she couldn't bear it and had to sit and wait.
He considered kicking Fang Xing awake if the pain worsened.
However, after a while, the pain did not intensify, but subsided.
She lay down again and continued to sleep. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she felt a little pain again. She had to sit up again and feel it. Just like before, the pain slowly disappeared.
She had no choice but to lie down and continue sleeping.
In fact, I have been kicked awake in the middle of the night quite often in the past two months.
Lu Xiang'er usually counts the fetal movements and feels that there is nothing wrong with the baby, then continues to sleep and tries not to wake up the sleeping guy on the bed.
But, I woke up too many times tonight.
After being woken up by pain for the third time, Lu Xiang'er picked up the book on the bedside, turned to the section about labor pains, and read it carefully again, and then the pain disappeared again.
She had no choice but to lie down again, dazed, thinking that if she woke up again, she would wake Fang Xing up.
This time I slept until dawn.
Mother ordered breakfast outside.
Fang Xing turned over, looked at Lu Xiang'er first, and asked, "Did you sleep well? If you're still sleepy, just squint a little longer."
Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and said, "I woke up several times last night."
Fang Xing stretched out his hand to touch his belly and lectured: "Did you hear that? Mom is complaining about you. You should be more peaceful when you go to bed at night."
Lu Xiang'er shook her head and said, "It hurt a little last night."
Fang Xing suddenly became nervous: "It hurts? How does it hurt? Does it still hurt now?"
Lu Xiang'er shook her head uncertainly: "It seems to be okay, it doesn't hurt much."
Fang Xing didn't know how she felt now, so he continued to ask: "How do you feel now? Do you have the feelings written in the book?"
Lu Xiang'er shook her head and replied: "I counted the fetal movements. They are within the normal range, so there should be no problem."
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Then get up and have breakfast first. After breakfast, we will go to the hospital for a check-up and see what the doctor says."
"Okay." Lu Xiang'er nodded and sat up on the bed.
"Want to help you?" Fang Xing helped her kick her slippers over.
Lu Xiang'er shook her head and prepared to stand up on her own.
Fang Xing saw her body sinking and quickly reached out to support her.
While eating breakfast, Lu Xiang'er told her mother-in-law about her stomach pain last night.
Fang Ma analyzed it based on the experience of various people who had been there, but finally came to the same conclusion as Fang Xing just said, and went to the hospital for a check-up.
finish breakfast.
Fang Xing drove Lu Xiang'er to the hospital, and his mother went with him.
When I got to the hospital, I went to the obstetrician for a checkup.
After reading it, the doctor said directly: "Go to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the sixth floor for hospitalization."
Fang Xing was a little stunned on the spot: "Is this going to give birth?"
The doctor gave an approximate time: "The cervix has been opened, half a day if it's fast, one or two days if it's slow. However, it still depends on the specific situation."
Fang Xing felt that this situation was different from what was shown in the TV series.
In TV dramas, when giving birth to a baby, isn't it always the case that the amniotic water breaks, and then the baby is rushed to the hospital in a hurry?
Fang Xing stared at Lu Xiang'er for a while, thinking: It seems like the amniotic fluid hasn't broken yet.
The doctor added: "You have arrived at just the right time. You don't need to be so anxious about being admitted to the hospital at this time. You can take your time. There is still time to prepare. If I had to wait another half day to come here, I might be more anxious."
Fang Xing accompanied Lu Xiang'er to the obstetrics department on the sixth floor, checked in, and officially started waiting for delivery in the hospital.
The hospitalization process involved filling out a lot of forms.
The hospital rooms are all reserved in advance, so the process is relatively smooth.
Later, Fang Xing called someone to deliver all the prepared maternal and infant supplies.
The room where the baby was being delivered only had two beds, so only one person could stay with the baby at night.
Both mothers wanted to stay and accompany the childbirth, and the reasons were that they were experienced and experienced.
However, after discussing with Lu Xiang'er, Fang Xing decided to stay on his own.
The obstetrics department of the hospital has doctors and nurses, and they are actually not lacking in experience. Lu Xiang'er still hopes that the people who stay with her can give her more strength.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is still afternoon.
The two mothers hurried home and started making soup and cooking. Then they sent them to the hospital and began to persuade Lu Xiang'er to eat as much as possible.
"You must eat more. Only by eating more can you have strength."
"I have to hold on for at least another half day. Drink more soup and water. Don't go hungry."
In fact, Lu Xiang'er has no appetite.
At this juncture, I have no appetite either mentally or physically.
However, she also knows that she needs to eat to have strength, so she eats as much as possible.
However, I didn't eat much.
There are so many good dishes, but most of them are cheap in the end.
…
After ten o'clock in the evening, the lights in the obstetrics department begin to turn off.
Fang Xing was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep, so he pulled the two beds closer and lay down to chat with Lu Xiang'er.
Every few minutes, Lu Xiang'er would show a frown.
Fang Xing talked to her and helped distract her.
Lu Xiang'er silently persisted amidst the complicated emotions of about to have a baby and about to face the most thrilling difficulty in a woman's life.
"Can you fall asleep? If you can, just sleep for a while." Fang Xing saw that she was a little sleepy.
"I'm a little sleepy, but I probably can't sleep." Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips.
"Then close your eyes and rest." Fang Xing comforted.
Time passes slowly.
At around three o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Xiang'er finally couldn't stand the pain anymore and even started to lose her temper.
Fang Xing quickly called the doctor to check and then gave birth painlessly.
Under the influence of the anesthetic, Lu Xiang'er finally fell asleep, and then slept until she entered the delivery room at around six in the morning.
Fang Xing waited anxiously outside the door of the delivery room, sending a message to inform his elders to come over.
At this moment, Fang Xing felt that time seemed to pass very slowly, but also seemed to pass very fast.
Three hours later, I heard from the doctor that both adults and children were safe, and my thoughts returned to normal.
At the same time, I felt a sense of unreality. Are you really a father?
Fang Xing felt like he couldn't change his identity all at once, and he felt like he was in a trance.
It wasn't until I saw that crumpled and red little person wrapped in swaddling clothes that I truly felt the reality of this world.
