Chapter 217: Dafeng begins broadcasting

If we talk about the most anticipated TV series in mainland China in 2005, it must be "The Night Watchmen of Dafeng".

"Drawing Sword" became popular because of its careful production, but the actors have little appeal to the audience.

The lead actor Li Youbin was not famous before this, and Zhang Guangbei, who played Chu Yunfei, had been silent for many years since playing the role of "Lü Bu".

This is not the case with "Dafeng Night Patrol". This drama is produced and written by Jiang Heng, who is responsible for the post-production special effects.

In terms of actors, the male lead Xu Qian'an is played by the popular young actor Huang Xiaoming, and his younger brother Xu Xinnian is played by another handsome man Chen Kun. The film also features a number of beauties including Gao Yuanyuan, Tang Yan, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Wang Ou, Qin Lan, Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Liying, etc., plus more than 30 veteran actors, the cast is incredibly strong.

It can be said that the show has become a hot topic online even before it was aired.

After the crew of "Dafeng Night Patrol" came to "Happy Camp" to promote the TV series, many viewers began counting the days until the TV series was aired.

July 7th, Saturday.

Zhao Liying went to the vegetable market early and bought spare ribs, beef, chicken and vegetables, and also bought some fruits to take home.

As a contracted artist of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, the company provides housing for Zhao Liying. The apartment she lives in is a large two-bedroom apartment near Chaoyang Park.

Generally, the houses provided by companies to unknown artists are definitely not this big, but iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are not short of money, and the company has also purchased a lot of properties. The houses provided to company executives and artists are all their own properties, and the standards for area and decoration are relatively high.

Zhao Liying took the things home, cleaned the house first, and then started cooking.

She wanted to hire Yu Yang, the company manager who found her among a group of girls, as well as an agent and an assistant assigned to her.

Because today is the day when the first TV series she participated in her life, "Dafeng Night Watchmen", is broadcast, she feels it is very memorable and wants to invite people who have helped her a lot to her home for dinner.

Zhao Liying was humming a little tune while cooking in the kitchen. At eleven o'clock, several invited guests arrived one after another.

Assistant Zhao Ru is a college graduate who loves to eat and is quite plump.

Looking at the dishes on the table, he lowered his head to sniff them, then rushed to the kitchen and said, "Wow, honey, the dishes you cooked smell so good!"

Zhao Liying smiled happily, "Really? I think it's okay. You always like to praise me!"

"It's really great. Whoever marries you will be blessed!"

"Hey, young people should focus on their careers. All I can think about right now is making good movies. Come on!"

"With your enthusiasm, you will definitely succeed!"

Soon, the agent Su Ying arrived. She was a fashionable woman in her thirties with a petty bourgeoisie look. She looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but smile.

I secretly despised her in my heart. If she were to treat us, we would definitely have Western food and drink red wine. If it wasn't for the so-called "memorable significance", she wouldn't come.

The company director Yu Yang was the last to arrive. He is now quite important within the company and feels that since Zhao Liying is valued by Jiang Heng, her future achievements will surely be more than that. He turned down a party and came to participate in the event here.

"Well, eat some fruit first, watch some TV, and there will be a dish!"

Su Ying said, "Hey, why make so much? We won't be able to eat much!" Zhao Liying smiled innocently, "Make more so that everyone can pick and choose. It's not a hassle. When I'm at home, I always help my mother cook!" After that, she rushed back to the kitchen.

The other three stayed in the living room and chatted.

Soon, the last dish was served and Zhao Liying invited everyone to the table to eat.

Immediately he said: "Well, tonight is the premiere of the first TV series I participated in, "Dafeng Night Watchman". To be honest, when I was working in sales in my hometown, I really didn't think that I could be an actor. First, I had never learned it, and secondly, I had no talent!
However, I never expected that Brother Yu would come to my hometown for an audition and select me to recommend me to the company, which gave me the honor of participating in this big-budget TV series, signing a contract with the company, and meeting Sister Su Ying and Sister Zhao Ru. During this time, you gave me selfless help, which touched me deeply. Here, I would like to express my deep gratitude. At the same time, I would like to thank the company's big boss, Director Jiang Heng, for not only signing me, but also providing such a big house for me to live in. I am really grateful!"

When talking about houses, Zhao Ru, Su Ying and Yu Yang's faces changed. Zhao Ru lived in a dormitory provided by the company, with several people in one house, and the living environment was far inferior to here.

Su Ying and Yu Yang are both married and live in their own houses, but they are small and remote, and cannot be compared with the one Zhao Liying lives in. They are so envious.

Su Ying sneered, "Director Jiang is really generous to provide such a good house!"

Yu Yang nodded, "Indeed, Director Jiang is a really good person. I heard that the company plans to buy land to build a commercial community, and then sell it to employees at a discount price!"

Zhao Ru and Su Ying's eyes lit up when they heard this. "Really? Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true. I saw the project plan at Mr. Du's place a while ago! So if everyone works hard, there will be a bright future for them!"

Zhao Liying quickly replied, "Yes, let us be grateful to Director Jiang and the company. May they get better and better. May the ratings of "Dafeng Night Watchmen" soar and continue to rise!"

"Yes, it's getting better and better, and the ratings are high!"

The four of them raised their glasses, drank, and then started eating and chatting.

Several people talked about the company, filming and things in the industry. Around two o'clock, Yu Yang left first.

Zhao Liying invited Su Ying to stay, have another meal in the evening, and watch the premiere of "Dafeng Night Watchmen" together, but Su Ying refused on the grounds that he had something to do at home.

However, assistant Zhao Ru happily stayed and went downstairs to buy a lot of snacks and drinks.

In the evening, I had a quick bite with Zhao Liying and gossiped about the company's affairs, then waited for the broadcast of "The Night Watchmen of Dafeng" on CCTV-8's Prime Time Theater.

The music for this drama was composed by Mai Zhenhong. His previous music for "The Chinese Paladin" was widely acclaimed, so the music for "Da Feng" and "The Chinese Paladin III" was given to him.

After the opening song, the TV series officially begins.

The first scene is Xu Qian'an, played by Huang Xiaoming, waking up in prison and analyzing his situation, followed by Xu Xinnian, played by Chen Kun, visiting him in prison.

Zhao Ru looked at the handsome Chen Kun on TV, dressed in white, and said frantically, "Ah, he is so handsome, really so handsome!"

Zhao Liying tilted her head, thought for a moment and said, "He is quite handsome, but in comparison, I think Director Jiang is more handsome!"

“Director Jiang is indeed very handsome, but he is too rich. The first thing I think of when I see him is money, and I often overlook how handsome he is! The one played by Chen Kun is different. He gives people the feeling of being poor but handsome, the kind that is so poor that only his handsomeness remains. It is very pure!” Zhao Ru said seriously.

Zhao Liying's expression was a little dull when she heard this. "Although, it feels like what you said is outrageous, but it also seems to make sense!"
