Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

"I'm going to die! In broad daylight, like a donkey, how many...how many times has it already?"

Xu Yingfei's beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and her face, that seductive and shameless woman, was flushed.

"Ouch!"

Zhou Yang slapped her hard and explained, "I almost suffocated in the capital the other day~"

Xu Yingfei didn't believe her and said, "Didn't you hook up with the second princess of CTS?"

"The production team is watching too closely; there's simply no time to sneak out."

During the rock music festival, he stayed in a hotel arranged by the organizers. His days were filled with nothing but rehearsals. His teammates were in rooms next to each other, and various media outlets were blocking the hotel entrance. He had no time to sneak out to hang out with Gao Xiaoyu.

Lin Youyou, who had just come off the front line, was also exhausted and drenched in sweat. While resting, she kept glancing at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, her pretty face already flushed with embarrassment.

"Ring ring~"

Just as Zhou Yang was preparing to rush towards the summit with all his might, his cell phone, which was lying on the bedside table, suddenly rang.

"Yoyo, give it to me quickly~"

Seeing that he was multitasking, Xu Yingfei said with dissatisfaction, "Can't you finish what you're doing first?"

Zhou Yang slapped her again and laughed, "You do your thing, I'll take mine, we won't waste time on either~"

After saying that, he tapped the phone screen.

As soon as the call connected, Jin Ran on the other end said, as if taking credit, "Zhou Yang, I helped you with such a big thing, don't you owe me a favor?"

The latter was panting heavily.

"You're helping me? I heard from your CEO Gao that she made the decision on the spot?"

When Gao Xiaoyu made the decision to use three of Zhou Yang's songs, she called him to tell him the good news as soon as she left the office, but Jin Ran himself was unaware of it.

Sure enough, the person on the other end of the phone seemed somewhat unconvinced and immediately added, "Well... I personally delivered your work to Director Zhu. Even if you didn't get credit, you should at least get recognition for your hard work, right?"

"Yes, you've certainly worked hard. I'll treat you to...a big meal...another day..."

Zhou Yang felt like he was about to reach the summit, and he couldn't help but tense up all his muscles, making even his speech sound somewhat torturous.

"Hey, Zhou Yang, what are you doing? Making such a racket..."

Jin Ran belatedly realized that something was wrong with the other person; they seemed to be struggling to breathe and were busy with something.

"I was at the gym, just now I was... doing squats, yes! Squats..."

Zhou Yang came up with what he considered a suitable reason.

"A gym? That doesn't sound right to me. I think I heard a woman's voice?"

"Of course! Gyms have both men and women..."

Seeing that Xu Yingfei seemed to be struggling, Zhou Yang ignored the ongoing phone call and immediately said, "Youyou, it's your turn. Teacher Xu is tired."

To everyone's surprise, these words unexpectedly dispelled Jin Ran's suspicions. She assumed he was working out with the two women and subconsciously replied, "Oh, oh."

"You're calling me in broad daylight, not just to show off, are you?"

Jin Ran explained over the phone:

"Of course not. Post-production for 'The Temptation to Go Home' is basically complete. Next, Director Hu plans to take the show to various TV stations and video websites to inquire about pricing. He hopes you can come with him..."

As the absolute male lead of "The Temptation to Go Home," and a top star, coupled with the fact that Zhou Yang had just won the rock music festival championship not long ago, having him "in charge" undoubtedly gave Hu Dabiao, who was directing for the first time in his career, a lot of confidence.

"Hiss... Huff..."

Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, his soul and body both finding release in that instant.

It took him a while to remember to call, so he quickly said, "No problem, I don't have anything to do after that, I can just come along."

In addition to helping Sun Weiwei record three TV drama soundtracks a while ago, he also led a group of teammates to record three songs for a rock music festival.

Nowadays, Liu Jia and her "castrated" secondhand roses are receiving commercial performance invitations all over the country.

"Okay, I'll go tell Director Hu right away."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Youyou very thoughtfully handed him a cigarette and lit it herself.

A cigarette afterward had unknowingly become a habit for Zhou Yang.

At this moment, Xu Yingfei, who had already drunk her fill, was so exhausted that she lay sprawled on the carpet to rest, completely disregarding her image.

.

.

Half a month later, Hu Dabiao, along with Zhou Yang, Jin Ran, Xu Yingfei, and other main actors, embarked on the arduous journey of selling the film, carrying the newly produced sample.

His first stop was Shanghai TV.

As the saying goes, enemies are destined to meet.

The group had just gotten out of the van when they bumped into Tang Tian International and his entourage, who had just come out of the TV station building.

Among them was Xu Yingfei's ex-husband, Wei Han. It was easy to see from their eye contact that they both wished they could grind the other to dust, and the atmosphere froze at that moment.

The other party was the creative team of "The Republic of China in Flames of War". As a senior director in the industry, Hu Dabiao even took the initiative to go up and exchange a few words with the producer.

I learned upon asking that the period drama "The Republic of China in Flames" was also being broadcast on Shanghai TV.

Hu Dabiao felt a sense of foreboding. How could his "Going Home" compete with the other party?

When he met with the deputy director of the station, surnamed Liu, who was in charge of bidding for TV dramas, his idea was confirmed.

"Old Hu, the station just decided to make 'The Republic of China in Flames' a major production for September or even the second half of the year. All that's left is to sign the contract. What a mess this whole thing is..."

The deputy director regretfully provided a detailed account of the situation.

"Is that so?"

Hu Dabiao was immediately dumbfounded. If the TV series they had worked so hard to produce ended up on an unknown small satellite TV station or couldn't be sold, it would undoubtedly be a blow to all the main creators.

"Director Liu, why don't you... take a look at our sample first? Our drama is definitely no worse than 'The Warring States Period'."

Despite this, Hu Dabiao's words lacked any real confidence; as the director, he knew all too well whether the show was "good" or "bad."

"Alright, since you've brought it up, Lao Hu, I can't refuse, can I?"

After the deputy director left with the sample footage, Hu Dabiao immediately began to reassure everyone, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. Shanghai TV has cooperated with our CTS quite a bit, so there might be another opportunity."

Among all domestic TV stations, the leader is Hunan TV, which started with entertainment variety shows in recent years, followed by Qiantang TV, Shanghai TV, and Jiangsu TV.

The reason for choosing Shanghai TV as the first stop was not only because of past cooperation with CTS, but also purely to accommodate Zhou Yang, who was playing on home turf.

Although Hu Dabiao tried his best to comfort him, Zhou Yang could still tell from the deputy director's expression and tone when he left:

It seems the other side has already decided on its rival's "The Republic of China in Flames of War," and "The Temptation to Go Home" may have already been eliminated.

Sure enough, just as everyone was getting impatient waiting in the reception room, the deputy director who had just left returned.

Upon seeing this, Hu Dabiao hurriedly went to greet him and asked, "Director Liu, how is the situation?"

The latter shook his head regretfully and said, "Old Hu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the prime time slot in September has already been booked. I wonder if you've considered other time slots in September?"

"I'm sorry, 'The Temptation to Go Home' is only allowed to air during prime time."

Upon hearing the other party's request, Zhou Yang was the first to refuse.

Are you kidding me? In recent years, TV stations have already lost a lot of viewers to the three major video websites. It's no exaggeration to say that they are on the decline. If they throw their hard-earned dramas into midnight screenings, wouldn't they be doomed?
