A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 305 Variety Show Debut Accident

The next morning, Chen Jinnian drove with Wang Yidi to the Mushroom House in Miyun. The shooting location was not far from Shuxiang Yayuan, located to the north of the unbearable military training base, a total of one and a half hours' journey.

"Jinnian, why did the program team invite us?" Wang Yidi said a little nervously, because they didn't know the main creators of Mushroom House.

"Hey, they must be unable to find guest stars. They've already started filming, but they don't even have a complete outline or sponsors. It looks like a show that's going to flop. They have no exposure and no traffic, so they can only find people like us nearby to fill the gap."

Chen Jinnian knew that the first season of Mushroom House was difficult to produce and was filmed intermittently for a long time. It could not be compared with the popularity of the subsequent series.

So when he saw the invitation, the first thing he asked was which season it was, wondering if it was a wrong invitation.

"Then what are we going to do there? Do we need to work in the fields?"

"No, there's no point in working so hard all day and then having the whole program edited for you. Don't let the production team play you around. Don't believe a word they say."

After giving instructions to the naive Wang Yidi, Chen Jinnian drove into the village according to the navigation, and then saw someone leading two sheep in front of him, with a cameraman and staff filming next to them.

He rolled down the car window and slowly moved over, only to find that it was Chen Chichi who was talking to the camera.

"Hahaha, friends, let me tell you, Teacher Huang is a very bad person. He actually asked me to have a farmhouse lunch. What kind of farmhouse lunch is that? It must be a casual meal. If you follow my advice, you should eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at noon and at night. A small jump at noon, a big jump at night, and preferably another jump the next day. What do you call this? It's a triple jump."

As soon as he finished speaking, a horn sounded behind him, and he jumped up in fright.

In fact, Chen Jinnian didn't want to press the button, but a group of people were walking in the middle of the road, seriously affecting traffic and making it impossible to pass.

"Teacher Chen, I'm recording a program right now." He greeted the other person with a smile.

Chen Chichi bent down slightly to glance at him, thinking he was just an intruding fan, so he didn't pay much attention. "Haha, sorry, I'm recording a show right now, so it's not convenient for me to take a photo with you."

"What a coincidence, we are here to record the show too."

As soon as Chen Jinnian finished speaking, a staff member's face changed drastically. Recognizing him, he quickly picked up the intercom and shouted, "Director, something bad has happened. Today's second wave of guests has arrived early."

"Where have you been?"

"We've already driven into the village."

The film crew still in the yard suddenly jumped into chaos. One of the cameramen rushed out with his camera. No one expected that a guest would drive in by himself.

Shouldn't you contact the program crew in advance and have the makeup artist do your makeup before joining the crew?

There were four people chatting awkwardly in the yard. When they saw the crew's movements, they all looked over curiously, especially Dahua, who stood up excitedly and asked if baby had arrived.

Ever since they learned that a female guest was coming to the Mushroom House, the two old foxes, Huang Xiaochu and He Ling, have been leading the topic to Baby. They did this intentionally to create suspense for the show, but they were also trying to tease Dahua.

Soon, there was movement outside the door and Chen Chichi's signature laughter, but after entering the door, his laughter stopped abruptly because his boss Wang Zhonglei was staring at him hungrily.

Although Huayi is now declining, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. As the second boss of the company, Wang Zhonglei still controls considerable resources.

As a contracted artist of Huayi, Chen Chichi had only one reaction at this time, which was to run out quickly.

But before he could run, Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to attack, "You know it's me? Someone called yesterday and said the food I ordered was tasteless."

The seemingly joking words made Chen Chichi stand there awkwardly. Based on the other party's past reputation, it was difficult for him to be sure whether the other party was really joking or had taken it to heart.

Fortunately, two people arrived later and saved his life.

Chen Jinnian walked in carrying two suitcases, following Wang Yidi, breaking the tense atmosphere.

As a senior host, He Ling found the right opportunity to greet everyone and liven up the atmosphere.

Among them, Dahua immediately fell in love with the handsome Wang Yidi and took the initiative to extend his hand to try to get close to her.

However, when it comes to handshakes between men and women, unless the man is much older than the woman and is already in his twilight years, the woman must extend her hand first to show her consent before the man can shake hands.

So when Wang Yidi saw his frivolous behavior, he took a step back and hid behind Chen Jinnian.

Chen Jinnian also noticed the other party's behavior. He didn't know whether this artist, who was nearly 30 years old, was really naive or pretending to be stupid. He didn't have the energy to understand the gap between his public image and his real character, so he simply made the relationship clear and shook hands for Wang Yidi.

"Hello, Dahua, this is my girlfriend, Wang Yidi."

Dahua was stunned on the spot, his Mandarin system was overloaded, and he looked at He Ling with a pleading look.

He Ling introduced herself, "This is our talented director, Chen Jinnian. The movie he directed just became a huge hit at the box office, grossing 300 million yuan. Welcome to the Mushroom House."

"Teacher He, you're too polite. Just call me Jinnian. I'm just an ordinary student. The good box office results are mainly due to Mr. Qian and the crew. I don't deserve any credit."

After introducing themselves to each other, everyone locked up the two sheep that Chen Chichi brought, and then sat in the yard to drink coffee and chat.

Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to say, "Jinnian, I heard that your company has a lot of film applications and is currently setting up a special effects production company. Since you can't handle it all by yourself anyway, why not work with us at Huayi?"

After hearing this, Chen Jinnian tilted his head slightly. He didn't expect the other party to be so well-informed. But it was normal when he thought about it. Beijing was Huayi's base camp, and it was hard not to attract attention when a film company suddenly emerged in Beijing.

"You're joking. I was just making a small fuss. How can I compare it to your company? Besides, I've been spoiled by my parents since I was a child, and I have a lot of bad habits. I'm also very domineering when filming movies. I'd rather not film than allow a second voice to appear on the crew. So, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang."

He smiled and declined the other party's invitation. If it were before, it would certainly be a good thing to be able to cooperate with Huayi. He would certainly welcome someone to invest money. As long as he was the absolute controlling investor, there would be no problem at all.

But things are different now. Huayi insists on bullying the honest man Xiao Cui. After making fun of him in "Cell Phone 1", they still feel it is not enough and insist on filming "Cell Phone 2" to continue smearing shit on his face.

As a result, he got what he asked for. Cui Yongyuan reported the secrets of the hidden contracts and money laundering, which not only ruined Fan Xiaopang, but also made Huayi shaky, causing a major earthquake in the film and television industry and a large amount of capital withdrawal.

All of this happened not long after, so at this critical moment, he would definitely not touch a penny of Huayi's money. If his films or TV series were submitted for review in the future and were rejected because his left foot stepped through the door first, he would have no place to defend himself.

When Chen Chichi heard his soft yet sharp words, he quickly picked up the coffee and took a sip to calm himself down. He dared to talk to Mr. Xiao Wang like that. He was simply asking for death. Didn't he see that Master Huang didn't say a word even when his wife was taken advantage of? He was angry but dared not speak out.

Wang Zhonglei didn't expect such a lack of respect. He stood up with a sullen face and walked away.

"Oh no, there's been an accident."

The director of Mushroom House slapped his thigh, what he feared came true.
