China Entertainment's World of Light and Shadow

Chapter 22: The Kangxi Dynasty (Part 2) (6000 characters monthly ticket)

In the office of the chairman of Xunmi Group, Xunma Li Hong hung up the phone, looked at the assistant in front of her and said, "Who did you just talk about?"

"Director Liu Dalin calls you at the front desk. Since I don't have an appointment, I'm in the reception room now." Assistant Yuan replied.

"Did he say what he was here for?" Xunma Li Hong turned his eyes to the daily schedule on the computer and found that there was a regular high-level meeting half way through. He frowned slightly and said, "Tell Mr. Yang to host one for me first."

At the meeting, I will go and meet with Director Liu."

In the reception room of Xunmi Group, Director Liu Dalin was sitting upright on the sofa smoking a cigarette, his legs were shaking a little, and he was thinking in a panic, "It seems a bit too reckless to come directly, after all, it's 5 million." At this moment, the meeting

The door of the guest room opened, and a powerful working woman wearing a clearly customized women's suit walked in on high heels. Liu Dalin made up his mind and stopped being nervous. He got up and stepped forward and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Hello,

Mr. Li. I am Liu Dalin, the director of the Kangxi Dynasty."

"Oh, hello, Director Liu, no, isn't the director of "Kangxi Dynasty" Jia Lin? Has he been replaced?" Xun Ma Li Hong asked doubtfully.

"I have to explain this. I found Jia Lin to work with me on the drama "Kangxi Dynasty"," Liu Dalin explained.

"Oh, I understand. So why are you here today?" Li Hong continued to wonder.

"Hey, to be honest, this is a bit embarrassing. I'm here to attract investment. The previous partner insisted on letting Mr. Jiao Huang play the role of Kangxi." Liu Dalin said with a sad look on his face.

"That's the actor who plays Kangxi in "The Yongzheng Dynasty"? Isn't that great? No, isn't my son going to play the young Kangxi? Who will play the middle-aged role?" Li Hong asked.

"Hey, yes, that's Kangxi in "Yongzheng Dynasty". It has high ratings, but it is obviously inappropriate. Our drama is all about Kangxi in his prime. I searched for Jiang Wen, but Jiang Wen

There is no schedule. I told Lin Yi yesterday that we decided to find Chen Daoming to play the role of Kangxi. But when the role is changed, the investor will have to compensate, so why not ask for your help?" Liu Dalin said.

.

"Oh, I understand. Okay, just to tie it up. It's a small investment, and Xunmi can make up for it for you. I know Daoming is very selective when taking on roles." Li Hong said with a smile.

"There must be no problem with the script of our drama. Jia Lin went to ask Dao Ming today. It shouldn't be a big problem." Liu Dalin felt relieved after hearing Li Hong's accurate reply.

"Well, if Daoming doesn't answer, you can come back to me." Xunma Li Hong smiled mysteriously.

"Ah?" Liu Dalin looked confused.

At the same time, Chen Jialin sat on the coffee table in the living room of Chen Daoming's house with the script, watching Chen Daoming making tea, and said: "Daoming, I have a good book. It will start filming in March. The starring role has expired. Please come.

To the rescue."

"Drink tea first." Chen Daoming interrupted by handing Chen Jialin a cup of tea.

"Please read the script first. You and I are all good actors in "Kangxi Dynasty". You will play Kangxi. Gao Wa will play Xiaozhuang, Gao Lanchun will play Nalan Mingzhu, and Xue Zhongrui will play Suo'etu. Even your harem concubines,

I asked Jianqun to arrange for you to play the role of Concubine Rong, and I invited Ruping to serve as the maid beside you." Chen Jialin continued to persuade.

"Don't watch it, "Yongzheng Dynasty" is currently on the air. I don't want to compare with Jiao Huang." Chen Daoming said calmly, with a tone of rejection.

Seeing that Chen Daoming had made up his mind, Chen Jialin had no choice but to finish the tea, leave the script behind, and leave Shi Shiran.

As soon as he left Chen Daoming's house, Chen Jialin hurriedly called Liu Dalin to tell him that his invitation to Chen Daoming was not going well.

Liu Dalin was talking to his mother Li Hong about script shooting and investment income at this time. When he heard the phone ringing, he smiled apologetically at Li Hong and motioned for him to pick up. When he heard the bad news, he froze in a daze.

In situ.

After watching the scene, Li Hong roughly understood the reason and then said: "Daoming didn't answer, I think it's already dinner time. Call Jialin and ask him to bring Daoming out, and let's find a restaurant to eat and chat."

"

"Okay, let me book a hotel." Liu Dalin said happily.

"No, go to the Xunmi Hotel next door. I have an exclusive private room. I'll call Lao Du. Her family is so stubborn. It's okay. I'll treat him." After speaking with a smile, Li Hong picked up the phone and called

My sister, Lao Du, called me: "Sister, you didn't record the show. Come on, I'll treat you to lunch. I'll call you after a while to determine the location. Okay, I'll find a hotel."

On the 9th floor of the Xunmi Hotel near the Xunmi Group Building, Xunma Li Hong’s exclusive hospitality room number is 912. Xunma Li Hong picked up the phone and said, “Son, come to Xunmi Hotel 912. Mom will treat you and Mimi to dinner.”

"Oh, okay, Mimi is still practicing with Sister Li. Do you want to ask Sister Li to join us?" Wang Xun asked doubtfully.

"Farewell, it's just you and Mimi. The occasion is not suitable, and you, Mr. Chen, are here. Let Sister Li handle it on your own. Next time, mother will invite her to eat alone." Xun's mother Li Hong asked.

"Okay, I got it. I'm going to find Mimi." Wang Xun, who was in the study, put down the "Integrity of Performing Arts" in his hand, picked up his coat, walked out of the study to find Yang Mi, and then the two took a taxi to Xunmi Hotel.

Just as the two of them were setting off, Xunma Li Hongzheng and the hotel manager finished ordering the menu and said: "There are three ladies and four gentlemen in total for the meal, two of them are children and the rest are adults. Let's prepare these first. Let me have the red wine."

Bring the few bottles you saved and let them choose. Okay, let’s go get busy.”

The hotel manager bowed down and took the menu and went out to place an order. Liu Dalin was sweating a little, thinking why Chen Jialin didn't come yet. Mr. Li's aura was a bit too strong.

Xunma Li Hong's cell phone came to mind again. She glanced at the number and saw that it was an acquaintance. She smiled and answered the phone with squinted eyes: "Sister Du, we're here? It's the same place. Just come up." After the call, he put the cell phone aside.

, said to Liu Dalin: "Director Liu, Lao Du is coming soon, let's go and greet him."

Liu Dalin nodded in agreement, wondering who this old Du was. Until he saw the person coming at the door of the private room, he finally understood that it was this person, Dao Ming's lover - Du Xian.

The two girls hugged each other skillfully when they met. Afterwards, Du Xian was pulled down by Li Hong as the head of the table. Then Li Hong introduced Du Xian and Liu Dalin to each other. After the two shook hands, they stopped chatting. The scene suddenly became a little quiet.

Li Hong then brought a pot of tea and filled the teacups in front of Du Xian and Liu Dalin one by one.

Du Xian said jokingly: "Li Hong, you are such a big chairman, you even poured me tea yourself. Besides, this meal doesn't need to be so grand."

"Haha, I blame your family for this. Nao Nao accepted a role to play the young Kangxi, but the crew couldn't find anyone for the adult Kangxi. Why don't you kindly invite your family Daoming to come out?" Li Hong said with a grin.

.

"Ah? No, if Dao Ming doesn't want to pick it up, it's useless for you to find him." Du Xian didn't understand.

"It's okay. You just have to eat in peace and don't worry about other things. By the way, how is Mr. Du's health? My friend mentioned him to me last night," Li Hong continued.

"They are all old people's diseases. It's nothing serious. I just can't worry about the students." Du Xian said worriedly.

"It's been like this all my life as a teacher. Students are closer than relatives. Hey, sit down quickly, people will come soon to see what else you want to eat. Gege is so young, you are so cruel that you sent her to the rotten country.

"Li Hong said and handed the selected menu to Du Xian to let her see if there was anything she wanted to eat.

"Yes, as a teacher, you can't worry about your students. It's good for Gege to let her live in the country by herself. In the past two years, she has been independent and independent, and she has grown up quickly. Not all children are like your little prodigy, haha." Du Xian flipped through the menu.

said.

"You are not a child prodigy. I don't see any other friends now. If it weren't for Mimi accompanying me, I would have suspected that this child has autism." Li Hong said with a bit of Versailles.

"My father told me that this kid was wasting his time going to middle school. That time, Wenyou took Nao Nao to their laboratory, and a fourth-grade elementary school student was able to spot the problem of their mechanical experiment. It was really amazing.

"Yes." Du Xian picked up the hot towel and wiped his hands and said.

"He has been staying in his father's study since he was a child. Nao Nao reads books very quickly and his memory and understanding skills are not bad. He can memorize literary and professional secretaries. We also found it scary at first, but we got used to it after being frightened a lot.

.But this is fine, as long as he is happy. He said he wants to be an artist and does not want to do scientific research, and his father also supports him. I have no choice but to pave the way for him." Li Hong continued.

"Since ancient times, parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. If you want me to see children have their own way, we will provide conditions and not interfere too much." Du Xian reminded.

"Yes, I know." Li Hong nodded deeply in agreement.

As soon as the two people finished speaking, the door of room 912 opened again. As soon as Chen Daoming entered the door and saw his wife and Li Hong, he smiled and said: "Li Hong, you are arranging the Hongmen Banquet for me. If I don't answer, will I be able to leave?"

Are you out of this house?"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Li Hong quickly stood up and walked over and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't make trouble, there are outsiders here. Last time you played basketball but lost to your child's godfather. At that time, you promised

We have one condition, this is not for you."

"Oh, I'm blackmailing you. I didn't let you do this. I meant to charge you less for the clothing endorsement." Chen Daoming continued with a smile.

"Okay, you're here, come and take a seat. Director Chen, come in and take a seat as well. I have nothing to do with Jianqun and I won't be an outsider with you." Li Hong pulled Chen Daoming and pressed him next to Du Xian.

Watching the two couples whispering to each other, he said to Chen Jialin who was still standing at the door.

"Well, I have nothing to be polite to you. You have won away all the treasures in the family." Chen Jialin said complainingly.

"Hey, brother-in-law, it's okay for you to say this. Your Jianqun family took the initiative to share their good works with the sisters. What's the matter? Aren't you satisfied?" Li Hong said sarcastically.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. How dare I? I just think that next time, don't always take those with commemorative value. You don't collect them, they are just for daily wear." Chen Jialin said regretfully.

"Everyone likes good things, you have to share them. Tomorrow I will take Sister Du to Jianqun to sweep the goods and call you stingy. Haha, I will make you mad." Li Hong joked and turned to Du Xian and said

"Sister Du, let me tell you. There are 12 Republican cheongsams in Jianqun. They are made of serious silk. They are so cool to wear in summer."

"No, Li Hong, don't come. Once you come, you will be like a mouse moving." Chen Jialin also said with a smile.

Everyone present burst out laughing. At this moment, Wang Xun and Yang Mi pushed open the door and walked into the banquet hall. They were both dressed in all-white long Xunmi down jackets, with white hats and red scarves, and they were walking in the snow.

Like a little snowman, everyone looked at the two and continued to laugh.

"Nao Nao, are you dressed like this because your mother doesn't buy you any clothes? How can you wear Mimi's clothes?" Chen Daoming joked.

"Uncle, let me tell you, Xunmi Group's clothing is designed to be worn by both men and women in my age group. Hahaha." Wang Xun said while helping Yang Mi take off her coat.

"Hey, Mimi is already so tall. I'm going to catch up with you, Sister Gege." Du Xian stood up and walked to Yang Mi, pulling her to look at her carefully.

"Aunt Du, I also feel like I'm growing taller. Look, I'm taller than Nao Nao now." Yang Mi said in a sweet voice.

"Yes, taller than me. We competed again when we were 16 years old, and the orthopedic doctor said that I can grow to 187. He suggested that I play professional basketball." Wang Xun raised his eyebrows at Yang Mi. All he got was a white one.

Not to mention the feeling of pinching and rubbing his face with his tender little hands.

"Okay, you two have had enough. Just sit down quickly." Li Hong said seriously.

"Daoming, just accept this role. You see if Nao Nao has this image, I think it's not too much to play your teenage years." Chen Jialin hurriedly advised.

"Everything else is suitable. It's just that Nao Nao's eyebrows are too thick, while mine are light." Chen Daoming took a sip of tea and said.

"It's okay. I'll trim Nao Nao's eyebrows to match your eyebrow shape when the time comes." Liu Dalin interjected.

"Wait a minute, I haven't read the script, are you trying to fight me?" Chen Daoming's tone sounded a bit calm and self-defeating.

Li Hong quickly winked at the two directors and asked me to come. When Wang Xun saw this scene, he silently walked to the door of the banquet hall and called the waiter to serve the food.

"Brother-in-law, Director Liu just said that Jiang Wen was interested in this book. You don't want to act like a young Kangxi and end up looking like Jiang Wen when you grow up." Li Hong said seductively.

"Who? Jiang Wen? Bring me the script and take a look." After hearing Li Hong's words, Chen Daoming decided to read the script first.

Li Hong covered her mouth and snickered, because she knew the story of the two of them from "The Last Emperor" to "BJ Man in New York". As long as Jiang Wen was mentioned, this provoking method would definitely work. This is what she calls herself

The failure of a friend is terrible, but the success of a friend is even more heart-wrenching.

The scene was silent for a while, but the excitement returned after the dishes arrived. Du Xian chose a bottle of 1995 Burgundy red wine. After filling the wine, there was a bang. Chen Daoming slapped the table and said: "Okay, this book is good. This character is good.

." After saying that, he picked up the red wine glass and drank in it.

"Nao Nao, go home and look up the classics at night, and start going to the Forbidden City with me tomorrow to experience the characters." Chen Daoming suggested.

"Uncle, no problem. Mimi and I are both going, just in time to listen to your analysis of the characters." Wang Xun answered, picking up the shrimp in his hand, and then put the shrimp meat into Yang Mi's bowl.

"Yeah, yeah, just in time to see the snowy Forbidden City." Yang Mi agreed, chewing shrimp meat in her mouth.

"Then it's settled, I'll pick you two up tomorrow." Chen Daoming said with a smile.

"Well, I'm afraid that if you come here and see your godfather playing basketball at home, you won't want to go to the Forbidden City." Wang Xun said jokingly.

"Hey, it's too cold today. Let's go to the gym to play some time." Chen Daoming suggested with a smile.

"Okay, I haven't tried these new shoes yet. I will grow taller in two years. If you still want to use your height to abuse me, you can't do it." Wang Xun said proudly.

"Haha, let's just compete in shooting. Isn't it okay if we don't fight?" Chen Daoming said.

"Uncle, I don't do this to you. You have blocked me since I was a child, and you won't let me take revenge when I grow up!" Wang Xun said with a smile.

For a moment everyone laughed.

"By the way, Uncle Chen. The queen you choose must be pretty, otherwise the audience will think I'm blind. Don't choose an ugly one for Aunt Sumala like Mimi." Wang Xun smiled at Chen Jialin

said.

"Hey, you kid is still thinking about us. But it's hard to choose someone prettier than Mimi." Chen Jialin said a little sadly.

"Hey, I have someone. Just sister Zeng Li. We can also go to Hengdian together." Yang Mi raised her hand and suggested.

"Zeng Li? Who is it?" Liu Dalin asked doubtfully.

"Oh, our group has newly established a company - Chunyan Performance Agency, which is managed by her aunt Chunyan. The signed Chinese Opera teacher Chang is a student who is about to graduate." Li Hong said with a smile.

"The class of 1996? Remember, one of the eight great talents in Chinese opera. That Qingyi actor who has been acting since elementary school is the only one who has not taken up roles for four years. Li Hong, you can do it." Chen Jialin said with a smile.

"Hey, Nao Nao let me sign. I originally wanted to be trained as an advertising model. I am 170 years old, tall, handsome, and well-organized. Especially in modern workplace attire, I am very beautiful." Li Hong said proudly.

"Oh, more beautiful than you?" Chen Jialin said.

"Hey, it's not the same type. Who does it look like? The temperament is similar to Feihong, Nao Nao said. He said that if Yu Feihong, Zeng Li, and Tan Jing put together a song, they would become popular just by watching MTV.

"Li Hong smiled as she spoke.

"Yu Feihong's kind of temperament? It fits the queen's profile. Okay, I'll take her to Jianqun for a fitting tomorrow," Chen Jialin said.

"No problem, you can pick it up. Nao Nao has customized a movie for her, with the goal of becoming popular throughout Asia. When the time comes, I will make a cameo appearance." Li Hong suggested.

"Okay, there's no problem with making a cameo. Don't always talk about Xiaolin's winning in the future!" Chen Daoming agreed with a smile.

"You can stop talking this time. You'll have to lose next time." Li Hong looked directly at Chen Daoming. In the end, everyone couldn't stop laughing.

The meal passed in this cheerful rhythm. Chen Daoming drank happily and insisted on letting Wang Xun imitate him to test his feelings. Wang Xun and Yang Mi also performed the content they usually rehearsed for the two directors.

After a moment, he was praised by Director Liu. Director Chen, a southerner who was too drunk, said in a daze: "Mimi, this child is so smart, don't delay it in the future. I think Zhou Xun will get Mi Mi in the future."

Mi took over."

Yang Mi felt happy when she heard the compliment, and then stared at Wang Xun with her big and captivating eyes. Wang Xun understood instantly: "Yes, my sister Mi is now a reserve for the best actress."

"No, low-key, low-key. Let's talk next time when no one is around." Yang Mi lowered her head and pretended to be shy.

"Hey, Sister Mi, I have to say that your shameless look has a bit of my charm." Wang Xun teased Yang Mi.

"Hey, sister, you have such a bad temper, I'll hit you if you make trouble!" Yang Mi said and punched Wang Xun in the chest. Wang Xun didn't feel any pain at all. He paused for a second and then slowly fell down: "

Ah, I'm dead!" He tilted his head and pretended to be dead.

"Nao Nao's acting is a bit exaggerated, but Mimi's martial arts is okay." Chen Daoming commented pertinently.

Everyone laughed for a moment. When Wang Xun heard this, he quickly got up and pulled Yang Mi and cried: "You ruined my chance to be a good actor."

"Okay, cut, let's play. Look at the look in your godmother's eyes. You're going to be beaten." Yang Mi said with a look of disgust.

"Ah? No, Mom, please calm down, I'll hit myself!" Wang Xun looked at his mother's unkind eyes and started to hit himself, pretending to be in pain.

"Okay, don't be poor, I don't know you yet." Xunma Li Hong said with a smile.

The next morning, Wang Xun was pulled out of bed by Uncle Chen Daoming. Of course, Wang Xun did not let Yang Mi go. With my sister Mi’s character, could she not go out with revenge? So Zeng Li, who lived in Wang Xun’s house,

The beauty was so tragic. After the four of them had breakfast at Wang Xun's house, they slowly and leisurely started a day's tour of the Forbidden City around the walls of the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City in winter is still so majestic and beautiful, especially when it snowed last night. The rows of ancient palaces, with red walls and green tiles, reflect each other, and the roofs are also covered with a thick layer of white snow, as if

I put a white hat on the Forbidden City. The flowers and grass there were withered, but only the plum blossoms were still growing tenaciously, emitting a strong fragrance.

Uncle Chen Daoming directly read out a poem by Wang Anshi, "There are several plum trees in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance coming."

After Wang Xun finished listening, he said to Yang Mi, who was almost wrapped up in a ball in her down jacket: "Read more, otherwise when you see the beautiful scenery, you can only say "How beautiful", isn't it embarrassing?"

Yang Mi glared at Wang Xun, raised her hand and pinched his face sadly, and Wang Xun screamed and said it hurt before letting go. Seeing this scene, Zeng Li probably suited Zeng Jinyun more.

The four of them were walking like this in the Forbidden City. Sometimes it was Chen Daoming who was talking about the rise and fall of this dynasty, and sometimes it was Wang Xun who was popularizing his views on Kangxi from the original novel "Yueyuehe", Kangxi in "Kangxi Dynasty".

It is Kangxi who established great achievements. In "Yongzheng Dynasty", there is Kangxi who is well versed in the art of emperors. One has to embody great talent and strategy, and the other has to embody cunning and calculating. So they are fundamentally different. Uncle Chen Daoming deeply agrees.

At the end of the day, it was past dinner time. The four of them left the Forbidden City and randomly found a fly restaurant. They sat down and ordered four bowls of stewed stew and eight fire-roasted dishes. Zeng Li asked curiously: "Teacher Chen, what do you think about acting?"

That’s the most important thing?”

Chen Daoming said to the three of them seriously: "The most important thing for an actor is to have awe of performance, be strict with every detail, and never treat any role in any play casually."

"I have learned a lesson!" The three of them bowed to Chen Daoming together.
