This chapter is definitely interesting. However, there is still one point that I haven’t revised yet. I’ll read it later. I’m sorry.

"By the way, are you at home or where?"
After talking about the main business, Liu Yan seemed to switch modes and chatted about some off-topic topics.
"Of course you're at home, what are you doing?"
"If you are at home, Sisi should be by your side. I haven't chatted with Sisi for a long time. Just give her the phone..."
When Zhong Yunqing answered the call, the phone was always on speakerphone. So before Liu Yan finished speaking, Sisi said:
"Why are you looking for me? I'm listening next to you..."
Then the girl grabbed the phone, turned off the hands-free and went to the balcony to chat.
Watching Sisi go to the balcony, Zhong Yunqing naturally did not follow her. He curled his lips without any trace, and then continued to write.
After all, I agreed to Liu Yan's sudden interview request, so the remaining two days were relatively tight.
Because according to the original plan, he planned to finish "Your Name" in the next few days. Then he would return to Yanjing and go to the military camp to rework it.
After all, the star this time is a special soldier, and he doesn't want the audience to think that he is perfunctory because of his own reasons.
Fortunately, he is not a military novice who knows nothing. At least he has served in the reconnaissance company of the troops stationed in Beijing, and has a good foundation in military theory, techniques and tactics.
About fifteen minutes later, Sisi came back from the balcony. But looking at her expression, she was obviously a little confused...
"Lao Zhong, let's go for an interview together in two days. Isn't this a bit rushed? I don't have time to prepare."
Seeing that her expression seemed a little unhappy, Zhong Yunqing immediately took her over and hugged her and responded:
"Okay, it's not as complicated as you think. This is still a crew-type interview. We just need to call Ying Bao and the other actors to come over and be on the show."
"As for what content should be discussed in the program, I will think about it carefully and communicate with the program team tomorrow."
Sisi saw that Yazi seemed confident, smiled and nodded, and did not continue the topic.
"Okay, since you've already figured out how to do it, I'll leave it to you to arrange it."
But Zhong Yunqing said this to her sister, only two days are really tight.
Fortunately, Liu Yan's invitation timing was clever. Most of the main cast members of the "Chef Fang" crew were in Hengdian at this moment. This saved him the need to notify each other one by one.
Zhong Yunqing also did not delay the remaining two important roles. Around nine o'clock the next morning, he called He Zhengjun and Yan Ni one by one.
After all, Liu Yan's program team was interviewing Chef Fang's crew, so it would really be inappropriate not to invite these two to participate.
Unfortunately, after receiving a call from Zhong Yunqing, both of them apologized for being unable to pull away.
At least this reason is true and not perfunctory at all.
All in all, at this time, both He Zhengjun and Yan Ni were equally concerned about Zhong Yunqing's network resources accumulated through co-participation in two hit dramas. Needless to say, they both cared about it.
He Zhengjun is indeed in the northwest region, starring in a drama with the theme of "grain separation", so he can't get away now that he's coming here.
Not to mention Yan Ni. Her current situation is different from that in her previous life when she finished filming Wulin Gaiden and had no filming for a period of time.
Influenced by the bad guy Zhong Yunqing, this actress participated in two hit dramas in a row, which allowed her to quickly break through among the actresses.
More importantly, the role of the prefect's wife as a good wife and loving mother has extremely successfully eliminated her image as shopkeeper Tong in Wulin Gaiden.
As a result, her acting career suddenly became much wider. Now she has a lot of film appointments...
Well, Zhong Yunqing didn't blame the two important characters for not being able to attend this interview. In addition to Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Jianing, he also took advantage of Qing'er's popularity and asked Yaya to come too!
As for the rush of preparation time that Sisi is worried about, in fact talk shows are much simpler than variety shows and do not require any special preparation.
For this type of program, before recording, the program team will generally design various processes during the recording process. The invited guests and hosts on the scene can just follow this process.
Of course, according to Zhong Yunqing's "old tradition", he certainly hopes to maximize the benefits as much as possible during the recording process, or on the basis of telling the truth.
Therefore, when it comes to designing the interview "script", he will definitely ask the program team to let him add some of his "private work".
After thinking about how to operate, he opened the address book, found Liu Yan's mobile phone number and called back...
…………
Two days later at two o'clock in the afternoon.
After working hard for a long time, the recording scene was set up and the recording of the show started in half an hour. After the participating chef and several girls reviewed the script with Liu Yan, they went to the dressing room to touch up their makeup.
Only Zhong Yunqing is left in the recording scene. He is looking at the "script" he participated in attentively in his seat and nodding slightly with satisfaction.
This modified recording site was actually the studio space of The Condor Shooting Crew. After finishing filming the morning scene, Director Li gave the crew a half-day off.
He and Lao Cai were sitting in the corner, whispering to each other...
There is nothing we can do if we don't take a holiday. Since "Huang Rong and Mu Nianci" and Yuan Hong, Yang Kang, have to take time to participate in talk shows, the only leading actor, Lao Hu, is "alone"!
After a while, the on-site staff set up the filming and recording equipment and began to greet the "audience" to enter.
There will be about 120 spectators here. Except for some extra actors hired to make up the number, more than half of the rest are basically the staff of the Condor Shooting crew.
After all, Hengdian has nothing to do during the holidays, so I might as well come to the recording site to join in the fun. After all, the actresses like Chef Fang are all very beautiful and eye-catching!
"Yun Qing, look who I brought here..."
Zhong Yunqing was looking at a question in the Q&A session, thinking about how to pretend to be smart for a while. When he heard Lao Hu calling him, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Um, why are these two girls here...
He put down the script in his hand and walked towards the two girls, one large and one small. Because it was none other than Li Xinru and Song Zuer...
"Brother Yunqing..."
"Well, why is little Zuer here?"
Zhong Yunqing walked over with a smile on his face, rubbed Xiao Zuer's little head. Then he looked at Li Xinru on the other side.
When the girl saw the confusion in Zhong Yunqing's eyes, she also smiled lightly, revealing two small dimples.
"We are here to talk..."
"Talking class? Why didn't you make a call beforehand?"
After listening to Zhong Yunqing's words, Li Xinru immediately explained:
"Shu Chang returned to Beijing for something. Before she left, she came to see me and asked me to take care of this little guy for the time being."
"She had no part to play this afternoon, and then she didn't take a nap, so she pestered me to bring her to play with you... I really had no choice but to take her to visit your class as I had a day off today..."
"So that's the reason." Zhong Yunqing nodded, then smiled and continued:
"Children of this age are all naughty and that's normal."
"By the way, where are Sisi and the others? Why is your set so weird? It doesn't look like filming, but more like preparing for a meeting?"
Zhong Yunqing nodded along with her words and was about to explain it. But then he thought that he would start recording the program soon.
So he rubbed Xiao Zuer's little head again, smiled slightly at Li Xinru and said:
"No, this is the Condor Shooting Studio, but today's situation is a bit special. Chef Fang and several actors before us will have an interview show later..."
Zhong Yunqing explained a little, then looked at the first row of the auditorium, and then at the two girls, one older and one younger, as if he had thought of something interesting.
So he smiled again and continued:
"It's better to come early than to come late. Since you guys have come here to catch up, don't leave in a hurry. Let's pretend to be the audience in the studio together during the recording. After that, we can go have a meal together.
How about rice..."
Directly here at the scene, uh, as an audience?
To be honest, when Li Xinru heard this, she was a little hesitant.
It's not that she doesn't want to give Zhong Yunqing face, but that she doesn't like variety shows and interview-type programs because she thinks they are too fake and boring.
But little Zuer is different. At this time, the little girl is at her most lively and active age.
So when Zhong Yunqing mentioned the interview, she immediately thought it would be interesting. So she grabbed Li Xinru's wrist and shook it and started acting coquettishly:
"Sister Xinru, let's participate together. I think this kind of program is fun..."
At this time, several girls came out after finishing their makeup. When Sisi took a look, she saw Li Xinru and Song Zuer standing next to her boyfriend... She immediately smiled and walked over.
Zuer’s little friend also saw her a long time ago. When he saw her coming, he ran over jumping:
"Sister Sisi, I'm coming to play with you!"
Sisi and Zhong Yunqing are indeed a "couple", and they greet little girls in exactly the same way.
I saw her looking at Xiao Zuer with a lazy expression:
"Come here and play with us, don't you need to film today?"
Xiao Zuer responded:
"No, we have a day off today. That's why we have time to come and play with you!"
"Oh, little Joey is so good"
"Everyone, make preparations. The recording of the program will start in five minutes. I have a small request for everyone present. I hope that everyone's mobile phones will be muted during the recording process. Thank you for your cooperation..."
Following the program director's words, Zhong Yunqing took several girls backstage to prepare. Li Xinru and Song Zuer were also placed in the first row of the audience.
Once again, we went on an interview show as a crew. The process was easy to design.
Let’s start by singing “Cooking Love” to warm up the show.
"Welcome Zhong Yunqing, Liu Sisi, and everyone from Chef Fang's crew."
"Long time no see, Liu Yan..."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Now everyone says that you are an all-around player, you are an actor, a director and a screenwriter, and now you are so good at composing music. "Rongcheng" was a hit all over the Internet some time ago..."
Zhong Yunqing smiled modestly:
"No, those songs are all composed randomly and cannot be considered elegant."
"Director Zhong, can I ask a question that has nothing to do with Chef Fang?"
"You tell me first and listen."
"That's right. I have a colleague who has always been a fan of your book. She asked me to ask you. Chef Fang's book was made into a TV series not long after he published it. Is your name based on this consideration?"
This is also a question that has been designed in advance. It is an established strategy to warm up the movie in the form of a novel. Talking about some details in advance in the talk show can also arouse the curiosity of book fans and passers-by. It will keep people paying attention.
"Well, actually I wanted to make a movie from the beginning, but the story line of Your Name is more complicated, involving body swapping, and a three-year time difference, which is quite brain-burning, so I wanted to publish a novel first to let everyone know
understand."
"But if the novel comes out first and everyone loses the novelty, won't that affect the box office? Isn't it a bit risky?"
"I don't think so. It's very simple. Novels only describe story scenes in the form of words, but readers need to understand them in order to generate imaginary images in their minds. Movies directly capture the author's imagination. I believe that I
readers will still be curious."
The task completed, Liu Yan did not continue to help Zhong Yunqing with publicity, but returned to the interview with Chef Fang.
"I heard that the actresses gained weight after filming this drama. Is it true?"
"This is true. I can only say that the food cooked by the stand-in chefs is so delicious. They eat more than half of the ingredients on the set every day.
Moreover, the kitchen props used in filming every day are all real objects. After cooking, we can start eating directly.
“It’s so interesting to have such a crew!”
…………
"Now comes the question and answer session."
The first one to get up was a boy.
"Director Zhong, I am a fan of your book. I am very curious as to why your new book is called "Under One Person"? It is just as everyone guessed. The prototype of Sister Baoer is Sisi, and you are a wife.
Is it strictly controlled?"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the audience in the audience laughed and whispered. The female host also couldn't help but smile.
As for Sisi, she has always been very curious.
"Well, how should I put it? I am the one who makes the final decision on all the important things in our family. I have no say in the rest of what Sisi says."
"Then what is a big deal?"
"The standard is determined by Sisi..."
"Director Zhong, you are the most honest person!"
"Director Zhong, you just said that the heroines in your books are all based on Sisi. Does that mean that the same goes for Feng Baobao in Under One Person? Are you also considering turning Under One Person into a film and TV show?"
"First of all, I want to reveal that Under One Person will be a very huge story in my mind. It will not be completed without four to five million words. And at my current update speed, it will take at least five years.
Only then will you be able to see the ending. So you talked about the issue of 'film and television', but it's too early to think about it now."
A female audience member stood up and asked:
"Why do you like Sisi?"
The girl spoke again:
"I thought you would honestly say it was because Sisi is beautiful..."
At this time, Zhong Yunqing rolled his eyes and was about to start saying something like "I'll die if I don't say anything shocking"...
"Actually, I am face-blind..."
"Face-blind? What do you mean?"
The host and Sisi beside him looked at him with puzzled expressions. The audience was also curious.
"I actually can't tell who is pretty or not. I like Sisi because her personality attracts me. I really don't know whether she is pretty or not..."
Isn’t Sisi beautiful? She’s blind? The whole audience was in an uproar!
Without him, this guy is too clumsy and too aggressive...
But unlike other people's laughter and scolding, Li Xinru looked at the scene on the stage, smiled, and thought in her heart:
Director Zhong is indeed a very interesting person...
