Chapter 27 Broadcast
In the hotel's private room, most of the crew members of "The Story of a Noble Family" were present, and the leading actors sat at the same table with Zhang Yuan.

Liu Guoquan did not come, saying that he did not like to make noise with young people. Li Dawei was different; he would be there whenever there was wine.

Although Zhang Yuan was the one treating, he gave up the main seat and sat Li Dawei in the middle of the table.

Not only that, he also gave other seats close to the main seat to senior colleagues such as Kou Zhenghai, Wu Jing, Huang Meiying, etc., making them like this polite junior even more.

Li Dawei remembered what his mother said. Zhang Yuan was indeed a man who knew how to act and react appropriately, and was well versed in the ways of the world and worthy of his association.

Shu Chang very rarely took the initiative to sit next to Zhang Yuan, although he felt a little shy and embarrassed.

Liu Qianqian also wanted to come over, but her mother grabbed her back like a chicken and held her next to her so that she could monitor her while she ate.

"Zhang Yuan, it's your treat today, so say a few words." Li Dawei took the lead.

Zhang Yuan raised his glass and stood up. At that moment, his cell phone rang...

"Sorry, I have to take a call." When Zhang Yuan saw that the caller was Fatty Zhao Decai, he quickly got up and walked out of the private room.

"Mr. Zhao, how are you these days?"

"Great." Zhao Decai on the other end of the phone hugged his secretary and said, "I called to tell you a good news."

"'Conquer' is airing tonight!"

Zhang Yuan looked at his phone. It was now mid-June.

He remembered that in his previous life, "Conquest" would not be aired for another few months. Apparently, because of his influence, this happened earlier.

Come to think of it, Gao Qunshu originally took a long time to sell it, and Zhang Yuan helped him save a lot of time.

Moreover, the original buyer was a female restaurant owner. Obviously, Zhao Decai, the coal boss, was more powerful, and having money made it easier for him to get through the links and broadcast the show ahead of time.

"Which TV station is it on?"

"Tianjintai."

What a coincidence... Zhang Yuan chuckled, what a fate, I happen to be in Tianjin.

"Congratulations then."

"Congratulations." Fatty Zhao could hardly hide his joy. He had been in the capital for a year or two, and this was the first TV series he had that could be broadcast.

He also informed his father to prove that he had spent his money in vain in the capital and had made a career.

After Zhang Yuan exchanged a few polite words with the other party, his tone became serious and he spoke again.

"Mr. Zhao, it's a good thing to broadcast it, but you have to be mentally prepared. The ratings may not be very high."

Zhang Yuan clearly remembers that the movie "Conquer" really became popular after it was broadcast on satellite TV.

The so-called satellite broadcast means being broadcast on provincial satellite TV stations. After several rounds of trial broadcasts, the performance of "Conquer" cannot be said to be mediocre, but it can only be said to be not far from being a failure.

But after it was aired on Jinling Satellite TV, the film suddenly exploded, with a huge advantage of more than two percentage points, completely crushing the big production "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which had not even taken "Conquest" seriously and had a better broadcast time.

In fact, many well-known TV series have had this experience, such as "Drawing Sword", "Snow Leopard", and "Soldier Assault", and their first broadcast results were not very good.

Zhang Yuan explained it to Fatty Zhao, but the latter was very confident and didn't take it seriously at all.

Back at the table, Li Dawei asked him what happened, and Zhang Yuan told him everything about the phone call.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses and congratulate Zhang Yuan for the broadcast of the movie he starred in!" Li Dawei took the lead, and the private room immediately became lively.

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan!"

“The ratings are going up.”

"Zhang Yuan is going to be famous!"

There were constant "happy songs" at the table, all wishing Zhang Yuan success.

"Yuan, which channel is this movie on and when will it be broadcast so we can take a look."

"Tianjin TV, the time is not very good, it will be broadcast at 11pm, and four episodes will be broadcast in a row."

Everyone at the table remembered it, and since the hotel was able to receive the Jinmen TV, they planned to go back and see Zhang Yuan's performance. Everyone was drinking and toasting, while Shu Chang, who was beside Zhang Yuan, picked up a piece of steamed yellow croaker belly for him like a young wife, carefully picking out the fish bones.

"Brother Yuan, don't just drink. It's easy to get drunk. Eat some food."

Zhang Yuan accepted Shu Chang's kindness with a smile. Just as he was about to take a bite, another pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared and picked up the completely inedible fish tail and put it into his bowl.

"Brother Yuan...eat some vegetables..."

He knew without even looking that it must be Liu Xixi who was causing trouble by holding her voice.

"Xixi, don't be like this." Shu Chang said angrily.

Liu Qianqian raised her chin and turned her head away. Then she secretly glanced at Zhang Yuan out of the corner of her eye and snorted softly. It was unclear who she was jealous of.

In comparison, although they are both little girls, it’s no wonder that Shu Chang is more popular in the crew because of her sensible appearance.

Moreover, this girl who is not only good at acting but also good at studying has a special ability, which is her talent for languages!

Not only foreign languages, but also dialects.

Shu Chang was born in Northeast China, her ancestral home is Chongqing, and she grew up in the imperial capital. She is gifted and can speak the dialects of these three places.

She also adapts to local conditions and uses Chongqing dialect when communicating with Chen Kun, who was born in Chongqing.

When communicating with Liu Xiaoli, Kou Zhenghai, Dong Jie and other actors who were born in Northeast China, his speech was full of strong local flavor.

When communicating with Li Dawei, he automatically switched to Beijing dialect.

Not only that, she also learned the Shanghai dialect from two old Shanghai actors, Wu Jing and Huang Meiying, as well as Xu Lu, who was from Northeast China but graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

In this way, everyone who sees her will kiss her.

Zhang Yuan, who lived two lives, was amazed at her academic excellence. She was really too strong.

Shu Chang didn't eat much during the whole banquet. He was always "serving" Zhang Yuan. Even when he went to other tables to toast, Shu Chang would follow him closely with the wine glass, almost never leaving his side.

"Brother Yuan, are you very familiar with Sister Shanshan?" Shu Chang asked with some confusion after Zhang Yuan had a good chat with an actor in the same group.

"I don't know her, but I like her very much."

Shu Chang's face fell for a second after hearing this, but he recovered instantly and no one noticed.

Zhang Yuan's answer was half true and half false. The actress he had just gone to chat with was named Luo Shanshan. This actress had never had any particularly famous roles before or after, and she had never won any major awards recognized by the industry.

In terms of appearance, she plays the fourth daughter of the Jin family in the drama. She has a small role and looks a bit ordinary compared to the other actresses in the same group who are competing for beauty.

Then why would Zhang Yuan be interested in getting to know him?
In 2023, a movie called "Fengshen Fengyun" earned more than 26 billion yuan at the box office.

And this Luo Shanshan is the co-producer of the film!

Although she did not achieve great success in the entertainment industry, she met Wenling wealthy businessman Wan Zhongbo a few years later and married him.

Wan Zhongbo is behind Didu Culture, which has participated in the investment of works such as "The Wandering Earth", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Hello, Li Huanying", "The Unknown", "Youth", "Dying to Survive" and so on!
What does it mean "It's better to marry well than to act well"? This person is an example of this.

Although this actress is unknown now, she will become a top-notch "thigh" like a pillar within ten years.

Of course Zhang Yuan had to find an opportunity to get close to her and also make plans for the future.

The meal lasted until nearly 10 o'clock, and everyone dispersed with exclamations of satisfaction.

After returning to the hotel provided by the crew, Zhang Yuan took a shower and then lay down on the big bed to rest.

Thinking of Shu Chang's "desire" for him today, Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the bed, gradually turned into a wooden shape.

"No, no, she's only 14, it's not easy for me to be sent to jail to cry behind bars..."

After promptly stopping himself from testing the "edge of the law", Zhang Yuan watched as the time approached 11 o'clock and planned to turn on the TV to take a look at his first TV series.

But just as I picked up the remote control, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Dong Jie, who was wearing a white lace dress, holding a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses, looking at him with a smile...
