Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Afterwards, I went to the airport to pick up Director Xiao Yi from Hunan TV and personally arranged for him to stay in a three-bedroom apartment in Guancheng Beiyuan. Then, after half a day and a night of cooperation negotiations, we reached a cooperation agreement in a very, very, very pleasant manner.

Regarding the TV series "Fu Lu Shuang Quan" (福禄双全), Hunan TV invested 4 million yuan, Doubao Media invested 1 million yuan, Yang Che served as producer, and Liu Jiang served as executive director (Gong Ruofei was listed as the director). Xiao Yi paid Yang Che 5000 yuan per episode, totaling 140,000 yuan. On July 11th, when Yang Che saw Xiao Yi off, he gave her a jade bracelet worth 80,000 yuan.

Yes, Yang Che did not return to Jialin Garden that day, and he did not return again this month because Wang Feifei went to the UK to mix the new album.

On July 11, Zhang Yimou officially announced that Dong Jie would play the female lead in "Happy Times," and that filming would begin in Dalian on July 26. Immediately, this sparked a wave of criticism online, with many accusing Zhang Yimou of shamelessly pursuing publicity.

360 also gained more popularity amidst the criticism.

Zhang Weiping and Yu Wenhao were ecstatic; only the world where Zhang Yimou was injured had been achieved.

As for Yang Che, he took Gao Yuanyuan and drove her BMW back to Longcheng because his parents missed him.

That's how parents are. They're fine at first, but once you say you're going back from out of town, they start worrying about you so much that they want to call you eighteen times a day.

Yang Yuanchao and Wang Weiqing were even happier about Gao Yuanyuan's arrival than last time, and they were more relaxed around her.

Wang Weiqing would occasionally say, "Yuanyuan, help Auntie...", while Yang Yuanchao would call out, "Xiao Gao."

Gao Yuanyuan was enjoying herself and was more cheerful than at home.

However, the parents were very unhappy with their son's film "Car 44" and remained silent for a long time after watching it.

It wasn't until the father and son were in the villa's courtyard that Yang Yuanchao said, "Your father has worked in the public transportation system for most of his life, and you are also a child of a public transportation worker. How could you make a film like this? What will people think when they see it!"

Yang Che remained silent for a long time: "Dad, I did this to make people who see this film respect bus drivers. Think about it, think about it carefully."

"Furthermore, the female driver was dragged out of the car by the robbers, and the passengers remained indifferent... Aren't you portraying Chinese men as spineless?"

"Dad, something similar happened on a bus from Sichuan to Guangdong. The other 43 passengers on the bus were like they were blind. They were all from the same county in Sichuan."

Yang Yuanchao was shocked: "Is that really true?"

Yang Che nodded without speaking, and then, quite inappropriately, thought that the passengers on Japanese trains were the most indifferent group in the world, unable to hear or see.

Then he quickly threw that thing out the window.

Yang Yuanchao opened his mouth, then finally slammed his hand on the stone table and muttered a curse under his breath.

Yang Che stayed at his hometown for two nights and really wanted to stay longer. Gao Yuanyuan also wanted to, because Longcheng was really cool; in mid-July, you needed a blanket to sleep on the nights. But one of them had something to do, and the other couldn't stay away from home for too long.

Well... at home, each of them naturally has their own bedroom.

Although Yang Che was caught by his mother when he went to Gao Yuanyuan's room on the first night...

I returned to the capital on the evening of July 13th.

At the entrance of the aerospace compound.

Gao Yuanyuan held her boyfriend's hand reluctantly, saying, "Don't always wait for me to call you. It's not far for you to come to Fengtai. It's not like I'm some kind of horny woman."

"If love between two people is meant to last..."

Is it possible to spend every day together like this in this lifetime?

"What are you saying? You're the woman who's slept with me the most times in my life..."

"Oh dear, you know that's not what I meant."

"I know, I'll try my best to spend time with you."

Gao Yuanyuan pouted and went home.

After spending two intimate days at her boyfriend's parents' house, she felt wronged again.

How could she not want to be with him openly and honestly?

But she faced many obstacles, the biggest of which was her mother.

Standing in front of the building entrance, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly turned to look at the sky. The moon was bright and clear, almost full. That was good.

..........

Yang Che sped all the way to Guancheng North Garden, and then went to Ning Jing's house.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Ning Jing, with her hair down and still wearing the same black and white striped T-shirt pajamas from last time, jumped onto him without saying a word, laughing heartily.

Ning Jing didn't tell Yang Che that she was returning to Beijing today, but she was certain that he would come.

Yang Che responded as he carried her back into the house, then tossed her onto the sofa.

"I just drove all the way back from Shanxi Province."

Ning Jing just stared at him and smiled dreamily.

The two of them didn't say anything after that, they didn't care.

It was like heaven and earth igniting a fire, especially for Ning Jing, who wished she could meld him into her body.

It's quite pure.

After that, Yang Che went downstairs and bought a bunch of food. The two chatted idly while eating and drinking.

We talked about the opening ceremony of "The Grand Mansion Gate" tomorrow, the press conference for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to be held on the 16th, and the large-scale public support plaza events for the Olympic bid held across the country. Hmm, Yang Che's plan.

"Didn't you write a song about bidding for the Olympics?"

"I won't write it myself, but I will encourage everyone to write it. At the end of the month, there will be a meeting on how to mobilize people in the arts and culture sector."

Ning Jing threw down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, "Get me involved."

Yang Che was speechless: "I really came back from Shanxi Province, and I'm starving."

Ning Jing winked and said, "Then you eat yours, and I'll eat mine."

As he spoke, he went under the table to find something to eat.

Yang Che shuddered as he looked at the remaining chili peppers in her bowl and quickly said, "No need, no need to be so polite."

Yang Che finally ate about half full. This woman was too demanding. Unlike Xiao Yi, who was playing with fire, she was purely a genius.

The next day, July 14th, arrived in the blink of an eye.

Ning Jing was not just radiant, she was absolutely dazzling, and she was the center of attention at the press conference for the launch ceremony of "The Grand Mansion" held at Lingbao Hotel.

When people asked her why she looked so happy, she asked in return why she wasn't happy.

However, some people with ulterior motives noticed the way she looked at Yang Che and some of her subconscious actions, and they began to have their own plans. For example, Jiang Wenli, who had been through similar experiences, was one of them.

At 10 o'clock, an assistant director named Lin Mo, who also served as the host, took the stage. After a brief introduction, he invited producer Yang Che to be the first to speak.

"Hello everyone, I am Yang Che. The Grand Mansion Gate has a total of 40 episodes and a production budget of 1500 million yuan. The entire crew will move to Wuxi at the end of this month for a 5-month filming period."

After the standard opening remarks, the reporters in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. Something wasn't right. Wasn't there going to be a stand-up comedy routine today? How much fun would that be missing!
