Huayu: When the director changed his major

I got up the next morning.

Zhu Zhu had already prepared milk for Cheng Xi.

Looking at the toast next to her, Cheng Xi smiled and said:

Good morning, Sister Zhu Zhu.

Good morning, Brother Cheng.

"Brother Cheng" was the term he used last night when they were deeply in love. Now, he hears Zhu Zhu's sexy lips softly calling him "brother."

Recalling the passion of last night, Cheng Xi's heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Zhu was dressed casually in a floral dress, holding a mug, sitting leisurely in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

This sense of relaxation is indeed very contagious.

I haven't felt this relaxed in ages. I really need to learn to live life to the fullest.

"I need to have a video conference later."

"Do I need to avoid it?"

"No need for that, they're just simple work reports."

Cheng Xi, carrying her laptop, went to the opposite side of Zhu Zhu and relaxed while eating breakfast.

Since Cheng Xi came to New York, she has held a video conference about once a month.

Each company should report on its current work progress and take some time to handle official business.

Cheng Xi has been in New York for over a month now. Besides filming, he spends his time checking on Li Xiaoran.

I have indeed become somewhat lax in my work.

The video conference started at 8 a.m.

It was exactly 8 p.m. in Yanjing, there was nothing that could be done, everyone had to accommodate Cheng Xi's schedule.

After finishing the meeting and official business, Cheng Xi still had to go to the film set to continue filming at 10 o'clock.

As everyone's avatars appeared on the laptop screen one after another, Cheng Xi tested the microphone and then said:

"Wentao, and everyone else, it's been a long time. Let's keep today's report brief so you can all go back and rest early."

"Okay, boss."

While listening to the reports from the heads of various branches, Cheng Xi also processed the work emails sent by Deng Jie in a split-screen mode.

Although Cheng Xilai became a hands-off manager in New York, the various tasks were still carried out in an orderly manner under Li Wentao's leadership.

After a month of anticipation, "Battle to the Peak" has finally premiered.

Unsurprisingly, it sparked heated discussions among netizens, given the large number of big names featured.

Cheng Xi, Yang Mi, Shen Teng, Gulnazar, and other public figures from various fields—the interactions between them are something many people are curious about.

Moreover, this is the first e-sports variety show in China, which has attracted many male gamers who love video games to watch.

This has created a large number of potential viewers.

It has a higher starting point than variety shows whose audience is mostly girls.

To expand its influence, "Battle to the Peak" premiered on Zuibai Video and was made available for viewing on major platforms the following day.

Since it's an e-sports themed show, major TV stations clearly weren't interested, so Cheng Xi simply decided to broadcast it online.

After all, the majority of the audience for this variety show is young people, and they rarely watch TV programs anymore.

On the night of its broadcast, "Battle to the Peak" topped the trending searches on various platforms, and the number of interactive bullet comments also reached a new high.

This was something that everyone expected from the beginning.

After all, no other show can invite so many guests.

In addition to the "Drunken White" series, participating celebrities and public figures also forwarded and recommended it on Weibo and other platforms.

"Battle to the Peak," which premiered on Zuibai Video, immediately became a hit.

The search volume for the theme song of "Honor of Kings" and its spokesperson, Gulnazar, is also soaring.

The numerous dramatic scenes in the film have left audiences thoroughly entertained.

For example, the initial self-introduction of his skill level and the contrast in the dehydration competition showed the audience what authenticity is.

For example, Yang Mi and Zhang Dada had a very frank and unfiltered banter, and Cheng Xi even served food to Olympic athlete Jiang Minhui on the spot, saying that he was optimistic about her and wanted to invest in her.

Furthermore, the interactions and conflicts between the various teams living in the villas also provide a lot of enjoyment for viewers who appreciate slice-of-life content.

The most discussed topics right now are analyzing and even ranking the skill levels of the various contestants. Fans of different idols are even fighting tooth and nail online to determine who is number one.

This further boosted the popularity of "Battle to the Peak".

“Boss, we’ve already started the second season of ‘Battle to the Peak.’ I think this show could be turned into a long-term program, with some of the audience’s favorite contestants selected as regular guests.”

"That's what Ma Hongjing, the person in charge of Drunken White Games, said."

He's been overjoyed lately.

The lawsuit with Tencent is currently stalled by the company's legal team, and the outcome is uncertain for the time being.

It seems like it's another messy situation, and we'll have to keep arguing about it.

However, the show "Battle to the Peak" brought a huge influx of traffic to "Honor of Kings".

After the broadcast of "Battle to the Peak" at 9 o'clock every day, there is a noticeable increase in the number of players coming to play King of Glory.

Although Tencent's "Heroes of the Past" initially came on strong, Cheng Xi's actions allowed it to weather the most difficult wave.

Now it's a situation where one side gains at the expense of the other.

Coupled with the unfavorable public opinion surrounding Tencent, Honor of Kings has now completely secured its position.

It can be said that it has weathered the biggest crisis since its launch.

How could this not invigorate Ma Hongjing, who had previously worried that the game might be gone?

"Okay, let's continue to see how the show goes. We can also continue to look for a cast for the third episode. I believe that as the show becomes more and more popular, it will encourage more artists to want to join."

These first batch of 20 artists have all received this windfall of popularity to varying degrees.

The biggest beneficiaries were, of course, Nazha, Yang Mi, Meng Ziyi, and Qiao Shan, who shared a villa with Cheng Xi.

The editors and directors were also very considerate, giving us a lot of interesting shots.

Of these teams, Cheng Xi's team is the most warm and harmonious.

Furthermore, there are many ambiguous relationships between Nazha, Meng Ziyi, Yang Mi, and Cheng Xi in the show, which many netizens have analyzed frame by frame.

There are all kinds of speculations.

Some moments between Cheng Xi and Gulnazar partially confirm previous speculations about the two.

Many expressed that they were deeply moved.

Others also gained a lot of followers, especially Olympic athletes and Ke Jie.

They don't usually get much exposure, but this time, thanks to the game, they've been seen by a wider audience who don't usually follow sports.

Li Wentao then went on to report on the progress of the filming and release of various films and television dramas.

The movie "The Unknown" is about to be released during the summer season.

TV series such as "With You" and "Nothing But Thirty" are also being filmed smoothly.

The highly anticipated new Mahua FunAge movie, "Hello Mr. Billionaire," has been in production for over two months.

The film's original shooting period was already very short, but Cheng Xi still demanded perfection.

As long as it can be released during the National Day holiday, that's fine.

Meanwhile, the number of users on ZuiBai Chinese website and ZuiBai video has reached a new high, and the theater attendance rate of ZuiBai Mahua is still climbing.

The number of celebrity endorsements for Zuibai Entertainment has also surged.

All aspects of the system's operation continue to improve.

While everyone was reporting on their work, Zhu Zhu was watching from the opposite side.

Zhu Zhu was very quiet and didn't make a sound, but her legs were restless, constantly rubbing against Cheng Xi.

When Cheng Xi could no longer bear it and announced the adjournment of the meeting, he directly executed Zhu Zhu on the spot in front of the window.

The two started doing eye exercises.

However, Cheng Xi didn't notice that her microphone was still on.

This made Deng Jie, who was still organizing the meeting, blush with embarrassment.

The phrase "younger brother and older sister" was passed on intermittently.

Moreover, the sounds of impact were incessant.

The bewildered Deng Jie didn't know whether he should turn off the computer or not. (End of Chapter)
