This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 57 What are they doing next door?
This is not just an ordinary celebrity scandal; it is a disregard for historical pain and a desecration of national sentiment.
The person who caused the harm was not an ordinary celebrity; Zhao Yanzi was a household name and a superstar.

"My Fair Princess" made Zhao Yanzi a household name across China, and also made her the first truly homegrown super pop culture idol in mainland China.

Afterwards, she quickly solidified her position with her excellent acting skills and outstanding singing ability. Her unparalleled popularity allowed her to easily enter the film industry, and even the traditionally arrogant Hong Kong entertainment circle favored her.

Not long ago, the first Qiong Yao drama invested by CCTV, "Romance in the Rain", was broadcast on CCTV-8's prime time slot, and its ratings quickly climbed to the top of the same period.

Although "Shaolin Soccer," a collaboration with Stephen Chow, was not released in mainland China, it achieved remarkable box office success in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

The first-generation Super Blood Bull was truly top-notch, with absolutely no exaggeration.

No matter how good Fan Binbin's advertising is, how many businesses want her to be their spokesperson, or how high her endorsement fee is, people will always compare her to Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi, who is excelling in film, television, and music, can completely outshine Fan Binbin!
Even though Fan Binbin found a perfect boyfriend that everyone envies, she is still completely outclassed by Zhao Yanzi in this respect.

Her current boyfriend is a wealthy young master from Shanghai, she can't compare, she's completely incomparable!
However, the giant who made Fan Binbin feel despair and could only look up to him had fallen to the point of being hated by everyone overnight!

Not only have her former fans called for her to be banned outright, but even Hunan TV, which once made her famous, has publicly criticized her for her stance. The descendants of the Nanjing survivors have also jointly issued an open letter demanding that she apologize and atone for her sins!
To date, Zhao Yanzi has been feigning death, letting public opinion fester.

The smell of fresh paint still lingered in the Golden Whip Creek Inn after the renovation. The actors from the film crew sat together in the inn, discussing Zhao Yanzi's situation.

"Chen Yuan, Zhao Yanzi won't just collapse like this, will she?"

Wu Jin grabbed a handful of melon seeds from a plate on the wooden table and asked Chen Yuan, who was sitting next to him.

"It's not that she'll fall apart. The current public opinion is enough to destroy the career of any ordinary star, but Zhao Yanzi is not an ordinary star. At most, she will only be given a heavy lesson."

"Yes, their TV series is still airing and the man behind them is powerful. They have such high national popularity. As long as they formally apologize, their popularity will come back sooner or later."

Chen Hong spoke up, glancing at Fan Binbin sitting next to Chen Yuan, peeling oranges for him, and once again felt a strong sense of imbalance towards her.

Among the three beauties of "My Fair Princess," Fan Binbin was originally just a filler character. In the first season of "My Fair Princess," she did have her own storyline and romantic subplot.
In the second part, because he offended Qiong Yao, his role was cut, and he became a mere plot device.

Lin Xinru's career focus is on Taiwan, while Zhao Yanzi, who is at the height of her career in mainland China, makes a foolish and self-destructive move. Lin Xinru, who has always been suppressed, has become the most outstanding one among the three.

After "Legend of Seven Swords" airs, the mark of the little maid Jin Suo on her body will definitely be covered by the Blue Moon Palace Master.

Sigh, why is it that Fan Binbin's man can pave a glittering road for her?

If she marries Lao Chen, she will have to retire from acting to help manage his career and keep him from being harassed and seduced by other women.
Chen Yuan spoke earnestly to the actors signed to his company:

“In our area, whether you’re an actor or a singer, you can be praised as an ‘artist.’ While enjoying the adulation, you also carry a responsibility of ‘educating.’”

Public figures need to be careful with their words and actions. Any deviation in behavior can be magnified and turn into a serious social issue. Often, it's better to talk nonsense than to speak your mind directly.

"Only Zhao Yanzi can withstand this media storm right now; if another one of the same scale happened, she wouldn't be able to handle it."

Yang Xue, Sha Yi, An Zhijie, and Bao Qiang all nodded earnestly.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Jiao Enjun, who had just joined the cast, did not participate in the previous actor training camp. He looked at Chen Yuan, who was admonishing his artists, and realized that his impression of him was quite different.

Chen Yuan appears high-profile and confident in front of the media and the outside world, but unexpectedly, he is actually very cautious and meticulous.

Having grown accustomed to people who become arrogant and conceited after achieving some success and being praised by those around them, it's surprising to see Chen Yuan, now the highest-grossing director in mainland China, displaying no signs of pride or complacency. This composure is far beyond his years.

The scenery of Erlang Mountain and Laba River is beautiful, but it is a completely untouched natural landscape.

If Chen Yuan hadn't remembered that this place would later be developed into a popular national 4A-level scenic spot, and hadn't personally led a group there a few months ago...
The location scouting team would never come to such a remote and secluded place.

The film crew had to stay in a rural village nearby, where they had to cross a mountain to reach the film set. The village was 100 kilometers away from Ya'an City, and the crew had to rent a house from the villagers to stay there.

The village party secretary had been given multiple warnings from higher authorities, and the production team of the TV series "Legend of Seven Swords" had the opportunity to turn around the village's poverty situation and promote the beautiful Laba River.

If it's really developed into a tourist attraction, the whole village will be transformed into a super tourist destination!
The entire village has already held a meeting in advance to ensure full cooperation with the film crew.

Moreover, when film crews shoot here, villagers can participate in simple jobs such as extras and moving things, and the pay is quite good, which is also a considerable extra income.

The villagers were very hospitable, and even the village office was lent to the film crew.

This is the best house in the village, a traditional courtyard house built with blue bricks, converted from the former mansion of a local landlord.

Although Chen Yuan didn't mind his accommodations, he still needed to maintain the necessary dignity of a director, so he shared a room in the courtyard with Binbin.

The wife of renowned director Chen Kaige was not afraid of the hard training and did not mind filming in this poor and remote area. Since she gave Chen Yuan face, Chen Yuan also had to give her face, so he arranged for her to have a whole small room next door.

The other rooms in the courtyard were also given to the lead actors, director, and main creative team.

Chen Hong started acting in 85 and spent a lot of time living in the countryside, so she didn't find it difficult to adapt.

Chen Hong was quite satisfied with the preferential treatment Chen Yuan gave her.

It's truly impressive that a young person can maintain such caution and humility despite achieving such remarkable results.

After a busy day, I called Lao Chen to chat about what had been going on lately.

The cell phone signal was poor in the countryside, so the sound was intermittent and we didn't chat for long.
After glancing at the script for tomorrow's filming assignment a couple more times, Chen Hong turned off the incandescent light bulb and lay down on the creaking wooden bed.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, a beam of light shone on the side of her pillow.

The light shone through a small, finger-sized hole in an old wooden door that separated the room from the next one.

Chen Hong got up again, got out of bed, tore off a piece of toilet paper, crumpled it into a ball, and tried to plug the hole that was affecting her sleep.

Suddenly realizing that the room opposite was Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin's, her hand, which was crumpling up toilet paper, stopped abruptly.

It's getting late, and they're still not resting. What are they doing next door right now?
Should I take a look? But wouldn't it be impolite to do so?
I'm really curious!

I just glanced at it, then stuffed the wad of toilet paper in my hand into it, just to take a look!
Chen Hong held her breath, squatted down, and brought her face close to the door panel.

!!!

Her legs went weak, and she almost lost her balance!
During the day, Chen Yuan is so busy that he's like a spinning top that's being whipped and kept spinning. How come he still has so much energy at night?
