Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 328 Is Cao Jian out of ideas?

Cao Jian's performance at the World Cup opening ceremony made Xu Qing develop a liking for this handsome and radiant man.

But she also knew that this man was too outstanding, and it would be too difficult to have any future with him. Being lovers on set for a while was still a good option.

Therefore, they did not object to Cao Jian accepting Chen Hao.

However, she couldn't say this outright. She put her arm around Cao Jian's waist and said in a coquettish voice, "I was afraid of affecting you. Besides, does your girlfriend want us to stay together forever?"

"Can't you?"

Faced with such a bewitching beauty, Cao Jian didn't want to remain just a couple on set: "Tonight I'll show you what I'm capable of, and make you unable to leave me."

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

The conversation between adults was completely unreserved.

The scene being filmed that day was a scene where Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying were roasting frogs by a stream.

This scene was described as somewhat sweet in the original novel, depicting the romance between the male and female leads, but many adaptations, including the one starring Zhang Dahuzi, failed to capture it.

But Cao Jian really liked this part and insisted on filming it.

Furthermore, this scene includes Linghu Chong kissing Ren Yingying, and Ren Yingying carrying Linghu Chong on her back.

Boss Cao originally planned to win over Xu Qing while filming this scene, but she was too proactive and succeeded ahead of time.

Your back is so soft.

But as Cao Jian lay on Xu Qing's back, he felt even more strongly that this woman was indeed exceptional.

"I'm not bad in any other way either."

Xu Qing turned around and gave a charming smile, whispered something, and then immediately regained her composure and prepared to film.

Not far away, Chen Hao saw this scene and, while feeling envious, he was even more looking forward to his own role.

In the script, Yilin and Linghu Chong also have a scene together. When she hugs Linghu Chong, sparks might fly.

Xu Qing, as expected of a veteran actress, quickly turned cold and aloof after flirting with Cao Jian.

The scene was filmed very quickly, much faster than Cao Jian had imagined.

"Let's wrap up early today!"

Cao Jian had long wanted to experience just how comfortable Xu Qing's bed was, so he announced early that he was wrapping up work and taking two days off due to the heat.

As soon as it got dark, the two returned to Yanjing and arrived at the gate of a large compound guarded by soldiers.

Xu Qing simply greeted the guard, and the car drove in.

To be honest, although Cao Jian is rich, this is the first time he has been to a place like this.

He looked around at the rather unremarkable place from the outside and smiled, "You live here?"

"What? You think it's shabby? It's not as nice as your big villa."

"Broken? Do you think I don't know? People who can live here are not ordinary people. No matter how rich you are, you can't live here."

"You're right."

In the car, Xu Qing was already lying in Cao Jian's arms: "But if you want to stay, you can come often."

"Then it's settled."

Soon, the car stopped in front of a three-story building.

The exterior looks unremarkable, but the interior, while not luxuriously decorated, has a very heavy and historical feel.

"I'm going to take a shower."

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Qing untied her hair tie, intending to take a shower first.

"We'll shower together in a bit."

Cao Jian was already quite angry on the way, and besides, he didn't know how long a woman would take to shower, so he picked up Xu Qing and headed towards the bedroom: "I want to experience your bed first."

Soon, the large Simmons bed could no longer bear it and began to creak and groan in protest.
You look absolutely stunning!

Cao Jian lay on the bed, which had been tormented for a long time: "The bed is nice, but not as comfortable as you."

"Like it?"

Xu Qing felt a strange sensation all over her body. She really hadn't expected that this man, who looked so refined on the surface, was actually stronger than an ox.

"like."

"What if I really can't live without you?"

"Cold salad!"

"Are you trying to pull the rug out from under me?"

"I'm still wearing pants."

"Bad guy."

Xu Qing glanced at Cao Jian, who was naked, and asked, "If I wanted to follow you, would you be willing?"

"Of course I'd like to, you're so kind."

Actually, Xu Qing is only two years older than Cao Jian. It wouldn't be bad for her to follow him around and be a caring older sister.

Besides, this woman is even better than I imagined.

"you're good too."

Xu Qing kissed Cao Jian on the cheek: "If anything happens in Yanjing in the future, I'll protect you."

"Hey"

"Why are you sighing?"

"I think I should try my best to make you comfortable from now on."

"you're uncomfortable?"

Xu Qing glared at Cao Jian, then stood up and said, "Let's go take a bath together. I'll scrub your back."

"Let's have another scene of mandarin ducks playing in the water."

Cao Jian pulled Xu Qing up and they walked together toward the bathroom.

Although what I said earlier was a joke, it's not bad to have a rich young lady from a wealthy family looking after you.

Three days later, the scene where Linghu Chong takes over as the head of Hengshan Sect was finally filmed.

Because the Hengshan Sect Leader was killed by Yue Buqun on Mount Song, this was the last scene filmed on Mount Song.

"Little nuns, take off your hats!"

The assistant director, holding a megaphone, directed the "little nuns" playing the roles of the Hengshan Sect.

The girls, dressed in black robes and wearing hats, hesitated, unwilling to take off their hats.

Chen Hao glanced at Cao Jian in the director's seat, gritted his teeth, and took off his hat.

"What a pretty little nun."

Cao Jian couldn't help but praise Chen Hao's bald head.

The girl was already exceptionally beautiful, and even though she was dressed in a gray monk's robe and had her head shaved, her outstanding appearance and graceful figure were still undeniable.

"Even though she's bald, this girl is really pretty."

Seeing Chen Hao's expression, Xu Qing, who was standing next to Cao Jian, smiled and asked, "Are you tempted?"

"good."

Cao Jian couldn't say Chen Hao wasn't pretty, but if he praised her too much, he was afraid that Xu Qing, who was currently very much in love with him, would get jealous. So he could only say she was alright.

"I can tell from the look in your eyes that you're interested."

Xu Qing saw right through Cao Jian's thoughts in a single sentence.

"You saw it."

Cao Jian did not deny it this time.

Chen Hao's bald look really gives people a different feeling.

Cao Jian felt like he was about to transform into Li Zhi.

Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Hao noticed that the director was staring at him, and he suddenly felt a little smug.

It turns out he actually quite admires how I look now.
This scene isn't difficult; it's just that Yue Buqun stabs Master Dingxian to death with a needle. When the nun discovers that Yue Buqun killed her, she passes on the position of Hengshan Sect Leader to Linghu Chong on her deathbed.

However, Cao Jian's performance in this scene was excellent, perfectly capturing the shock, disbelief, and eventual resignation.

"Those subtle glances and expressions, she's definitely got a background in filmmaking."

Xu Qing and Chen Hao grew to like Cao Jian more and more the more they looked at each other.

While filming of "Swordsman" is progressing smoothly, "My Fair Princess" is becoming increasingly popular in mainland China.

The viewership rating has risen from 36% at the beginning of the broadcast to 45% and is still rising.

In recent years, there have been many dramas about people with queues in China, but those emperors with queues who caused harm to China have been whitewashed in many films and television series.

People even watched shows like "Kangxi's Private Visits" and "The Legend of Qianlong" and thought the Qing Dynasty was wonderful. Cao Jian's "Princess Pearl," although a period idol drama, boldly exposed the literary inquisition that has rarely been filmed, as well as Qianlong's extravagance and waste, and the suffering and misery of the people.

But these plots are all meant to showcase the frugality of the two commoner princesses and their spirit of daring to speak up for the people.

Moreover, these conflicts make the show even more entertaining.

This summer, "My Fair Princess" has become a phenomenal TV series.

"Little Cao is really amazing; he actually came up with the idea of ​​a folk princess."

At that time, "Princess Pearl" had just been broadcast in Taiwan and its ratings were also over 40%. Qiong Yao saw such a result and even slept with a smile on her face.

She has written many scripts and produced many TV series, but none of them have ever been as popular as "Princess Pearl".

"I'll quickly start writing the script for the second part, and we'll start filming in the second half of the year."

When Tsao Chien last visited Taiwan, Chiung Yao and Tsao Chien discussed the plot of the second season. At the time, she felt that it was a bit too early for Tsao Chien to be considering a second season.

Now it seems that Mr. Cao was confident.

Besides the sensation caused by "My Fair Princess" in mainland China and Taiwan, "Fly Me to Polaris" was finally released in Hong Kong.

Zhang Baizhi, appearing without makeup, is breathtakingly beautiful in this movie.

After the film's release, this newcomer was hailed by many Hong Kong media outlets as the successor to the next generation of "Jade Girl".

Compared to Zhang Baizhi's first leading role in "King of Comedy," she was incredibly pure and innocent in this film, captivating countless young men.

"I can't find a reason to be strong, I can no longer feel your tenderness, tell me where the starry sky is, is there an end there?"

The already popular theme song, "Star Wish," became even more popular after the movie's release.

Although this movie made many young girls cry in the theater, and the name "Onion Head" became very popular in Hong Kong for a time.

However, many Hong Kong film professionals felt that this film was seriously inconsistent with Cao Jian's previous screenwriting standards, and that the quality was really low.

I don't know if someone is a little jealous of this uncrowned king of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, but they actually said that Cao Jian may have run out of ideas.

They also said that movies like "Fly Me to Polaris" have no substance whatsoever, except for making young girls cry.

It could even be described as cliché.

Of course, the song is not bad, it's just that the singer's singing skills are average.

Cao Jian, who was in mainland China, had naturally heard such comments, but he simply scoffed at them.

This movie was originally intended to showcase Cecilia Cheung's beauty; there was no other purpose.

But since you want something with substance, wait until I go to Hong Kong soon, and I'll show you what substance really is.

"Honey, how come you're not angry at all about what those people in Hong Kong are saying about you?"

Although Cao Jian didn't care, Xu Qing was a little worried for him.

Why bother listening to the experts?

Cao Jian's current focus is entirely on making a good film of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

This is CCTV's first time directing a martial arts drama, and it's also the most important TV series she's directing in mainland China, so she has to take it seriously.

As a director who has read the original work many times, he has extremely high standards for everything from props and locations to every line of dialogue and every move in the fight scenes.

At this time, the crew had moved from Songshan to Hengshan to film the scenes of Liu Zhengfeng washing his hands of his past life and Linghu Chong being injured by Tian Boguang.

This scene was exactly what Chen Hao was looking forward to.

She had a scene with Cao Jian.

"Director, I don't have a deep enough understanding of this plot, and I'm afraid I won't be able to act it well."

But after several days of trying to persuade her, she wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with Cao Jian to discuss the plot.

"Didn't you read the original novel during your training? Linghu Chong was seriously injured while saving you, and you prayed for him to protect him. What don't you understand?"

Cao Jian glanced at the content to be filmed tomorrow and felt it wasn't difficult.

"My main concern is whether Yilin has fallen for Linghu Chong at this point, or if she is just grateful to him. If she expresses the wrong emotions, it will waste everyone's time."

Chen Hao's goal was to have a private conversation with Cao Jian. He whispered, "Why don't you tell me all about it after filming is over?"

"She must have already fallen for him, after all, Yilin has never been in contact with men before."

"Even if I like someone, I'm still a little unsure about how to express that feeling."

"Okay, then come find me tonight."

During this time, Cao Jian was captivated by Xu Qing's gentleness and planned to talk to Chen Hao later.

Anyway, this drama will be filmed for more than half a year, and Yilin's scenes will take more than three months. Are you worried about not having enough time to deal with her?
But since this woman insists on directing the play herself, then let's accept her.

Giving female actors direction is one of the things male directors love to do most.

Having just gotten rid of Chen Hao, Xu Qing came over and asked, "What did that girl just say?"

"Let me tell her tonight how to act in tomorrow's play."

"Oh?"

Xu Qing glanced at Chen Hao in surprise, also wondering how this girl had suddenly become so bold as to ask the director for acting advice.

Isn't this just offering yourself up for the taking?

In other film crews, it's always the director who asks for instructions, but in this crew, it's always the actresses who take the initiative to ask.

Handsome directors definitely have an advantage.

Xu Qing immediately smiled and said, "Then I won't come to see you tonight. Talk to her properly, don't disappoint her."

"Leprechaun."

Cao Jian slapped Xu Qing on the butt: "When have I ever disappointed anyone?"

On this day, the scene being filmed depicts Tian Boguang kidnapping Yilin, but being rescued by Cao Jian.

However, the two did not have any physical contact during this scene.

That evening, Cao Jian returned to his hotel room and had just taken a shower when he heard three soft knocks on the door.

Upon opening the door, one sees Chen Hao standing gracefully at the entrance, without a hat, and symbolically holding a script in his hand.

"come in."

Since everyone was already there, Cao Jian didn't ask any questions. He simply let the girl in, poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

Chen Hao was actually a little nervous, but the thought of being able to spend time with her admired director, idol, and boss helped her suppress her nervousness.

"sit down."

Cao Jian sat down next to Chen Hao and asked, "Is there something you don't understand?"

"Director, you said this morning that Yilin already likes Linghu Chong, but I don't know how to portray the feeling of liking someone."

When Chen Hao arrived, he had already thought about what to say; his words really sounded like he was there to discuss the plot.

"Have you ever been in love?"

"I"

Chen Hao was taken aback, then said, "I had a crush on you."

"That's good."

Upon hearing this, Cao Jian thought to himself, "I'm going to ruin another young girl tonight."

However, I've gotten used to it.

He didn't ask who she had a crush on, but said, "Since you've had a crush on someone, you should understand what it feels like to like someone. So, look at me and pretend you're Yilin and I'm Linghu Chong. Try to express your feelings through your eyes."

"Ah."

Chen Hao turned his head slightly, and his eyes met Cao Jian's.

I was a little embarrassed at first, but when I saw the handsome face of my idol whom I had liked since childhood, and remembered that his songs used to accompany me to sleep, I felt a surge of emotion.

Recalling his radiant appearance at the World Cup opening ceremony, her eyes slowly softened.

Cao Jian looked into Chen Hao's eyes and could tell that this girl really liked him.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere changed completely.

"boss"

Chen Hao suddenly noticed his boss's eyes drifting towards his bald head and asked, "Do I look ugly like this?"

"No, you are the most beautiful Yilin in my heart."

Cao Jian couldn't help but look at the bald girl because her appearance was truly unique.

Also, he didn't want it to be so fast.

We need to flirt a bit more before getting down to business.

But Chen Hao didn't feel it was fast. When she heard her boss say that she was the most beautiful, she slowly closed her eyes.
