Everyone was stunned to see Da Fei on TV.
This was CCTV-13, a news program.
Why was Da Fei appearing?
"Da Fei is hosting on CCTV?"
"That's quite a leap, isn't it? Isn't Da Fei a singer?"
"He's hosting a show with Sister Deng? Are you kidding me? How could Da Fei be qualified?"
"This isn't a legal program either. What's the deal with inviting Da Fei? Is he going to sing Luosha Haishi?"
"The producer has some serious guts. You can't just ride the coattails like this. With Da Fei's limited skills, he's not qualified to host a show on CCTV. It's ridiculous."
"..."
Liang Yin and the others were also shocked.
They hadn't been watching the show, but a friend had called to ask about it, and that's how they found out Da Fei was actually on CCTV.
They quickly turned on the TV, and it really was Da Fei!
Wang Zhi was full of shock, "Sister Deng must have pulled some strings for Fei-ge, right?"
Liang Yin was also dumbfounded, "Definitely."
"Do you think Fei-ge can handle it?"
"Maybe it'll work. Fei-ge's a quick learner."
"Today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month. The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and netizens are leaving messages on our program's Weibo, asking if we're releasing new programs and not taking a break for the New Year."
"Dear audience friends, I want to say, we won't take a break unless the Earth explodes, and we won't rest unless the universe restarts."
"In the wind, in the rain, on holidays, we are all here waiting for you."
"There are no four seasons, only two. If you watch, it's the peak season; if you change the channel, it's the off-season."
Da Fei's rhymes immediately made everyone in front of the TV burst out laughing.
Jia Lu pointed at the sign language interpreter in the lower left corner of the screen.
"Look, the sign language interpreter is cracking up!"
This was also considered a unique feature of the show, with a sign language host to help those with hearing impairments understand.
And at this moment, it became the show's comedic highlight.
"Da Fei is a rhyme maniac, haha, he must have gone crazy writing lyrics, and now he's rhyming on CCTV?"
"As expected of Teacher Da Fei, look, he even made the sign language interpreter crack up."
"Sign language interpreter: I'm a professional, I usually don't crack up, unless I really can't help it."
"This show is going for the comedic route, no wonder they invited Da Fei, even Sister Deng next to him can't hold back her laughter!"
"Why isn't Sister Deng speaking?"
"Da Fei said all the lines. What lines are left for Sister Deng?"
Qiu Chengdong and the others were immediately pleasantly surprised. That Da Fei was really something.
He'd written two poems online before that caused quite a stir, and later wrote a fable that was directly selected for the Chinese language textbooks.
Now he was hosting the program, and he was really on a roll. The jokes he told were explosive and the show's effect was great.
Cheng Huanhuan gave them both a thumbs up. Da Fei had some real talent!
He's worthy of being my best friend's man!
Deng Siqing's face also flushed slightly. Although her eyes were fixed on the camera, her peripheral vision was constantly on Da Fei.
Da Fei could actually host?
This man was truly versatile!
The entire program production team was very happy, except for Du Songming, whose expression was a bit ugly.
This guy is really something, isn't he?
He actually dared to go on a live CCTV program. What kind of mental fortitude does that take?
I haven't heard that he's ever studied hosting before?
His pronunciation is perfect, and he speaks at a moderate pace. If you ignore his previous fame, he really seems like an excellent host.
A singer is stealing his job. Who would believe that?
He was only filling in temporarily, but once you fill in, it means you can continue to fill in.
Even setting aside the advantage of being close to Sister Deng, this is a pretty good job.
With Sister Deng there, the ratings can be guaranteed.
But now, he's been cut off by a singer. He's so depressed!
And this guy is actually Sister Deng's boyfriend? Didn't he have a scandal with Lin Qiqi? …
"It's been snowing and the temperature is dropping these days, and it's going to drop in many places, though the extent varies."
"As long as it doesn't make you look too fat, consider putting on long johns."
"It's both folksy and elegant, trendy and local. It offers both emotional care and spiritual comfort."
"Hiding your true form, loose-fitting and appropriate. Among people, it's Lu Bu, among horses, it's Red Hare, among clothes, it's long johns!"
When this segment aired, Liang Yin and the others burst out laughing, not to mention the audience.
"Da Fei is so funny! He's reminding everyone about the cold weather in such a hilarious way. A rhyme-obsessed maniac; can't speak without rhyming, can he?"
"I don't think it's Da Fei who's funny; it's the sign language interpreter next to him. Look, she's about to break down, hahaha!"
"I am a sign language interpreter. Don't ask me why I can't laugh; if I were to encounter this program, I'd break down too."
"I didn't know Da Fei was a comedian! Is he going to be hosting the whole show? If so, I'll watch it every day while I eat."
"I don't recommend watching while eating, you might choke from laughing."
"Human rhyme machine! The merciless rhyming maniac!"
"..."
Sister Deng was trying hard not to laugh, and her eyes were filled with admiration and affection.
This man, he's amazing even as a host?
These jokes just come right out of his mouth?
The several chief editors were even more bewildered. These lines weren't written by them. They'd only written a few sentences to remind everyone to stay warm and prevent the cold, but when it came out of Lin Chudong's mouth, it turned into such a humorous joke?
Qiu Chengdong raised his hand, signaling him to proceed to the next step.
Lin Chudong said.
"My hometown, Modu, was the first to start the era of garbage sorting. The common people are very confused about garbage sorting. What exactly is kitchen waste, and what is other waste?"
"It's not difficult to distinguish. I'll teach everyone a mnemonic."
"If it's wet or dry, let the pig try it, and you'll know after one bite."
"What pigs can eat is kitchen waste. What will kill pigs is hazardous waste. And what pigs won't eat is other waste."
"Recyclable waste can be sold for money to buy pigs."
"Pigs must be thinking, I've given too much to humanity."
"It's said that pigs are treasures all over, and they contribute a lot to garbage sorting."
After the skit, Lin Chudong read a few news updates from the script. They were mostly about people's livelihoods, like whether young people should pay for medical insurance and whether the elderly should go to nursing homes – very down-to-earth topics.
Combined with Lin Chudong's rhymes, the show's effect was unprecedentedly good.
"This rhyming makes my scalp tingle. The name 'Human Rhyme Machine' is really fitting!"
"About 'A Pig Taught Me How to Sort Trash'…"
"If the show broadcasts like this, I'm not changing the channel."
"In the end, it's still Da Fei's literary skills that are too strong. Writing lyrics, writing poems, writing skits, it just comes naturally!"
"Da Fei, who doesn't sing, is actually so funny, rhyming in such a serious manner."
"Da Fei's hosting skills are also quite impressive. This is live, and he didn't say a single wrong word."
"..."
Qiu Chengdong saw the feedback on the show's ratings and the audience's stickiness, and immediately slapped his thigh in excitement.
"Great!"
This show was originally unremarkable, with no advantages other than Sister Deng as a point of interest.
But now, with Da Fei as the comedian, the show immediately became a hit!
As soon as the show ended, a phone call came from the station's leadership.
Qiu Chengdong answered the phone, being polite.
"Leader... you flatter me, I was just lucky, yes, Sister Deng's voice is bad, the next episode? The next episode... I'll study it again, and report back to you later!"
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Chengdong beckoned to Deng Siqing.
The two of them walked to the side, and Qiu Chengdong said.
"Sister Deng, are you and Da Fei really a couple?"
Deng Siqing's face flushed, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
With so many people watching, it would be a bit embarrassing to say they weren't.
Besides, there was nothing to be ashamed of; she liked Da Fei anyway.
Qiu Chengdong said, "Then can you help me talk to him, and ask Da Fei to broadcast for a few more days? Or, become a long-term guest?"
Deng Siqing was stunned, a look of surprise on her face, and she took out her phone to type.
"Da Fei isn't a professional host, and he doesn't live in Beijing, so it's not very convenient, right?"
Qiu Chengdong thought for a moment, "I'll talk to the leaders later about changing it to pre-recorded shows, or maybe a mix of pre-recorded and live broadcasts. Let Da Fei record several episodes at once, and then you can do a live broadcast when there's a hot news topic. What do you think?"
Sister Deng nodded and typed, "I'll ask him and let you know later."
Qiu Chengdong nodded. He needed to be polite when asking Sister Deng for a favor.
He couldn't just yell at Sister Deng just because he was the producer; that would be a death wish.
Qiu Chengdong said, "Let's give Da Fei a round of applause for the first episode!"
Everyone immediately applauded, "Awesome, Fei-ge!"
Da Fei's twenty-minute program made everyone look at him with new eyes. Aside from the jokes, his hosting skills were absolutely up to par.
Whether it was his reading speed or the standard of his Mandarin, he definitely met the standards of a qualified host.
Although he wasn't as strong as Sister Deng, his own fame, coupled with his knack for rhyming, would definitely create a refreshing effect.
Qiu Chengdong said, "Da Fei, want to grab dinner tonight? I'll call Director Sun, and we can have a few drinks?"
Lin Chudong said, "Maybe another time. I need to go get medicine for Sister Deng."
"Alright, you go ahead then."
Qiu Chengdong didn't directly mention the permanent guest spot. Since he and Sister Deng were together, it was better for Sister Deng to say it.
No wonder Sister Deng was always drinking with them before; turns out they were a couple. Da Fei sure was lucky.
Du Songming had already left, as staying here was just asking for humiliation.
Lin Chudong appeared on a CCTV news program, and his popularity skyrocketed.
Even Teacher Yan from the orphanage called him.
"Chudong, you've done well, you're on CCTV! Everyone saw you, the kids were so happy."
Lin Chudong laughed, "Teacher Yan, I'm just going as a guest."
"Are you coming back for the New Year?"
"No, I have to be on the Spring Festival Gala for the New Year. You'll be able to see me on TV."
"Oh, that's great! We'll be waiting!"
Although she really wanted Da Fei to come back, she immediately became happy when she heard he was going on the Spring Festival Gala.
In the eyes of the older generation, being on the Spring Festival Gala was a glorious thing.
Lin Chudong hung up the phone, and Cheng Huanhuan asked,
"Da Fei, who was that?"
"Teacher Yan from my orphanage. She raised me since I was a child."
Both of them were stunned. They hadn't expected Da Fei to be an orphan.
This was the first time they'd heard about his background.
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Let's go home after work."
Sister Deng took a deep breath and directly grabbed Lin Chudong's hand. The two of them walked out holding hands in front of the entire station.
Cheng Huanhuan, standing beside them, was dazzling, at least two hundred watts.
...
Back home, Lin Chudong bought some Honeysuckle and brewed it for Sister Deng to drink.
Normally, the heatiness wasn't a big deal, but Sister Deng couldn't speak, which affected her work, so it couldn't be delayed.
After drinking a bowl of the medicine, Deng Siqing felt a little better.
Cheng Huanhuan asked, "Da Fei, what did you buy this jar for?"
"Cupping. Simple and crude, but effective."
Cheng Huanhuan's expression changed slightly, "Isn't it a bit unsightly?"
After cupping, the back would be covered in marks that wouldn't disappear for a long time.
Lin Chudong shrugged. "Well, there's nothing I can do about that. But don't worry, it's almost winter, no one will see it. Just drink plenty of water and exercise, speed up your metabolism, and it'll be gone in a few days."
Sister Deng's face flushed slightly as she looked at Cheng Huanhuan, unsure of what to do.
Cupping required one to be bare-chested. Although she and Lin Chudong were also quite close, it was always when Lin Chudong was drunk, or when she pretended to be drunk.
Now, with both of them sober, they were about to perform such an intimate act, which made her feel very awkward.
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Don't be shy, Siqing. It's the same at the physical therapy clinic. Da Fei is a doctor; don't overthink it."
Lin Chudong also nodded. "That's right, Sister Deng. Just lie down, and I'll come in. I won't see anything."
It was already a bit awkward, and with these two saying that, it became even more awkward.
Lin Chudong prepared everything and then left the room.
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Take off your clothes. Don't be shy. Show Da Fei your assets. Doesn't he like big breasts? We can still let him see the size even when you're lying down!"
Sister Deng rolled her eyes. This girlfriend only knew how to come up with bad ideas. Could she be more reliable?
After taking off her clothes, Deng Siqing lay on the bed, not daring to move. She had a pillow underneath her, covering everything so that nothing could be seen.
"Da Fei, come in!"
Lin Chudong walked in, picked up a bamboo jar, and lit the alcohol cotton with his right hand.
After wiping a few times, he directly placed it on Deng Siqing's acupoints.
Deng Siqing's face immediately turned rosy, partly from shyness and partly from pain.
Cheng Huanhuan asked, "Da Fei, your cupping seems different from the norm. I see them cupping the entire back. Why are you doing it so far apart?"
Lin Chudong said, "I'm only working on a few key acupoints. The other areas aren't really useful."
"My cupping follows traditional Chinese medicine principles, not the usual health routines."
Cheng Huanhuan nodded, not quite understanding. "You're pretty good at traditional Chinese medicine, huh?"
"Yeah, I know a little."
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Then take my pulse, see how my body is?"
Lin Chudong nodded, "Sure, no problem."
After all the cups were applied, Cheng Huanhuan held out her hand.
Pulse-taking, of course, couldn't be done in the air. Lin Chudong was about to find a pillow or something to support it, when suddenly Cheng Huanhuan placed her wrist directly on Sister Deng's butt.
"Go ahead."
Sister Deng's face flushed red instantly. That crazy girl, she'd lost it!
Cupping for Sister Deng
Lin Chudong was a little embarrassed. These two were really good friends, and they didn't treat him as an outsider at all, did they?
Lin Chudong felt Cheng Huanhuan's pulse and began to examine it.
"You just have a slight menstrual irregularity. You've been eating less to lose weight, haven't you? You absolutely can't skip staple foods, or you might even lose your period altogether…"
The two of them were discussing the illness on Deng Siqing's beautiful butt, which made her speechless. It was so uncomfortable not being able to say anything, otherwise, she would have cursed Cheng Huanhuan!
The cupping marks on her back also made her afraid to move, but thankfully, it didn't hurt as much now.
Da Fei was really all-around.
A moment later, the cupping jars were removed.
Lin Chudong said, "Sister Deng, I bought some aloe vera gel. You can apply it. Although it doesn't do much, it can help promote metabolism and make these cupping marks fade faster."
Deng Siqing nodded.
A stream of cold liquid landed on her beautiful back.
Then, a pair of hands gently began to spread it.
Deng Siqing's whole body tensed up, her face flushed as if she were about to drip water. She clutched her pillow tightly, wishing she could bury her head in it.
How could Da Fei do this…
Deng Siqing was quickly imagining things in her mind, she had almost decided on the children's names.
Suddenly, those hands attacked her chest from under her arm.
Deng Siqing was startled and quickly turned her head, shrinking her body.
She saw it was Cheng Huanhuan, with a face full of mischievous smiles!
Cheng Huanhuan's hands were covered in aloe vera gel, and she was laughing hysterically.
"What are you getting so worked up about, thinking Da Fei was touching you? ...Ouch, you kicked me!"
That night, Lin Chudong slept in the guest room, while Cheng Huanhuan and Deng Siqing slept together.
The room felt very bright at night. With Cheng Huanhuan around, it seemed like they saved a lot of electricity.
Deng Siqing was also helpless. Even if this "lightbulb" wasn't there, she wouldn't have felt comfortable sleeping with Lin Chudong.
They hadn't been drinking, so it wouldn't make sense to sleep together without a clear understanding.
The next morning, Lin Chudong got up wanting to make breakfast, since he hadn't had a chance to show off his [Intermediate Cooking Skill].
It was a pity that when Lin Chudong got up, Deng Siqing had already prepared the porridge. Seeing him, Deng Siqing smiled and pointed at the dining table.
Lin Chudong said, "Thank you, Sister Deng."
Sitting at the table and looking at the lavish breakfast, he really felt as if he were at 'home'.
It was as if Deng Siqing's home was his home.
Cheng Huanhuan finished washing up, and the three of them ate breakfast together.
Looking at Lin Chudong with a teasing expression, Cheng Huanhuan said:
"Is it still your Sister Deng with the long legs? Don't let your eyes fall in!"
Sister Deng gave her a hard glare, which made Lin Chudong blush.
Deng Siqing was indeed a leggy beauty, with incredible proportions – long, straight, and white legs. It was hard for him not to stare when she was wearing a nightdress.
Cheng Huanhuan bared her teeth in annoyance. "Can't even speak the truth! By the way, Da Fei, Director Qiu asked Deng-jie yesterday if you could be a permanent guest."
Lin Chudong frowned slightly. "It's not very convenient, is it? This show airs every day, and I can't be in two places at once."
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Then move to Jingcheng. It's bound to happen sooner or later."
Deng Siqing immediately glared at her and stomped on her foot hard.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean, sooner or later?"
Lin Chudong was also a little surprised. "I'm doing fine living in Modu. Moving to Jingcheng would be too much trouble, and the company can't just move either."
Cheng Huanhuan said, "What I mean is, aren't you doing pretty well with your career in Jingcheng now? Maybe you'll be spending more time here in the future."
Lin Chudong nodded. "That makes sense. I'll think about it later."
Modu and Jingcheng have always been the places where entertainers in the entertainment industry are most concentrated. Of course, Jingcheng has even more.
If they moved, it wouldn't be impossible.
It's just that they're doing well in Modu right now, and there's no reason to move.
Maybe they'll move once he has more collaborations in Jingcheng.
"Sister Deng, is your throat any better?"
Deng Siqing shook her head.
Lin Chudong said,
"It probably won't get better so quickly. Drink another Honeysuckle in the morning. I'll go record the program and come back to check on you."
Deng Siqing nodded obediently.
Lin Chudong finished his meal and took Deng Siqing's car keys and left.
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Tsk tsk, you're just like a little wife now. Whatever he says, you listen."
"No one would think you're mute if you didn't speak."
Cheng Huanhuan widened her eyes, "How can you speak?"
Deng Siqing said, "Duh, if I don't speak, wouldn't I be mute? If I were mute, you wouldn't be able to take my position either."
Cheng Huanhuan rolled her eyes, "I'm concerned about you, you have no conscience, do you?"
"I found it's quite nice not speaking, Da Fei treats me like a patient, didn't you see yesterday when we walked hand in hand?"
Cheng Huanhuan said, "You two have already slept together, what's holding hands?"
Deng Siqing said, "That's different, this is voluntary, and in front of so many people, it's a very subtle change. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it."
After recording the show, Lin Chudong went home.
Cheng Huanhuan had gone to work, and Deng Siqing had put on her makeup and gotten dressed.
Lin Chudong was taken aback, "Sister Deng, are you going out?"
Deng Siqing took out her phone, opened the navigation, and showed it to Lin Chudong.
The navigation destination was a furniture market.
"Buying furniture? I'll go with you."
Deng Siqing nodded.
The two got in the car and soon arrived at the furniture market.
Both were wearing masks and sunglasses, so no one could recognize them. However, Deng Siqing's long legs were quite eye-catching, and she had a high rate of attracting attention.
Suddenly, Deng Siqing reached out and linked her arm through Lin Chudong's.
Lin Chudong was taken aback, thinking they'd seen someone familiar from CCTV. But after looking around, there didn't seem to be anyone they knew?
What was Deng Siqing doing...?
Looking back, the skin exposed above Deng Siqing's mask was already flushed, but she looked straight ahead, as if linking arms with Lin Chudong was the most natural thing in the world.
Lin Chudong took a deep breath, enjoying the intimate feeling of linking arms with Deng Siqing.
The two of them entered the furniture store, just like a newlywed couple choosing furniture for their new home. This feeling made Deng Siqing quite infatuated.
They slowed their pace, browsing carefully.
The salespeople nearby were all very enthusiastic. "Are you two looking for furniture? Come in and take a look. Just by looking at you, I can tell you're a newlywed couple. Our furniture has very low formaldehyde!"
"This young lady has such long legs; you're a perfect match. Come and see our furniture?"
"Young man, you're so lucky to have married such a tall wife. You really suit each other."
"…"
Hearing these salespeople's half-hearted compliments, Deng Siqing felt pleased. They wandered around, but didn't buy anything.
Later, no one praised them for being a good match, so they moved to another place.
Finally, Deng Siqing saw a piece of furniture she liked. She pointed at a wardrobe in front of them and looked at Lin Chudong.
Lin Chudong was stunned. "Sister Deng wants to buy a wardrobe? This one's quite nice."
Then, Deng Siqing raised her slender finger and pointed at him.
Lin Chudong was a little surprised. "You want to buy it for me?"
Deng Siqing nodded.
"This... is it really necessary?"
Deng Siqing nodded again.
In the end, Sister Deng still bought the large wardrobe. Then, she went next door and bought Lin Chudong a dozen sets of clothes, returning home with bags and bags.
Deng Siqing's money was more than enough; the wardrobe was delivered today.
After putting Lin Chudong's wardrobe in the room and arranging all his autumn and winter clothes inside neatly, Deng Siqing was finally satisfied.
Looking at the wardrobe, Lin Chudong was somewhat lost in thought.
This place seemed more and more like his home.
As Cheng Huanhuan put it, the property deed was almost in his name.
In the afternoon, the Spring Festival Gala's third review.
Deng Siqing's voice had finally improved a little.
The third review went smoothly. Lin Chudong met with Xu Feng again and even teased Da Fei a bit.
"I know how to sing Luosha Haishi. Maybe I'll do a cover someday, and you can give me some pointers."
Lin Chudong forced a smile. "You're pulling my leg. My song really doesn't have any hidden meanings. It's just a simple story that the internet is misinterpreting."
"Haha, look at how cautious you are!"
Deng Siqing walked into CCTV arm-in-arm with Lin Chudong, immediately sparking a wave of discussion among the crowd.
"Da Fei has really hooked up with a rich woman!"
"Is Sister Deng considered a rich woman? Does Sister Deng have money?"
"Guess. She's CCTV's top anchor. Even if she's not rolling in money, she's still a small fortune!"
"Da Fei is so lucky, Deng Siqing is both beautiful and rich. How come I can't find a girlfriend like that!"
"Do you have Da Fei's waist? Didn't you see him doing the obstacle course? That waist is amazing."
Sun Xuan said, "Da Fei, the program schedule will be announced after the third review. Don't forget to come to the rehearsals then, especially the third one, which will be recorded. The first two don't matter as much."
The third rehearsal is the closest to the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and a recording will be kept. If an accident occurs during the live broadcast, the recording of the third rehearsal will be switched to immediately.
Of course, there haven't been any accidents in so many years, it's just a precaution.
Who would dare to cause trouble on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala!
After the third review, Lin Chudong watched a few programs.
Suddenly, the appearance of a figure caught his attention.
"Director Sun, who's this?"
Sun Xuan glanced over and said, "Li Hongbin, an actor. He's not performing in the Spring Festival Gala, but his wife has a program, a short Peking Opera piece."
Lin Chudong immediately took out his phone and started searching.
Li Hongbin, an actor from the Jilin Provincial Drama Troupe, forty-five years old, from Changchun, Jilin.
After looking at a few of the plays he'd acted in, Lin Chudong's eyes immediately lit up.
The actor for Li Yunlong has been found!
This Mr. Li Hongbin, whether in appearance or in his speech and mannerisms, was similar to the Li Yunlong in the original work. He not only looked the part but also captured the spirit.
"Director Sun, I'd like to get to know him. Could you introduce us?"
Sun Xuan was taken aback, then said, "Sure, let's go."
The two of them went straight towards the audience seats.
Sun Xuan said, "Li Hongbin? Is he Zhang Xiaomin's husband?"
Li Hongbin quickly stood up, "Hello, Director Sun, it's me."
Sun Xuan said, "Let me introduce you. This is Da Fei, a singer and also a director. Last month's hit drama, Kai Duan, was directed by him."
Li Hongbin shook hands with Lin Chudong, "Hello."
Sun Xuan said, "You two chat, I have something else to do. I'll go and get busy."
After Sun Xuan left, Lin Chudong sat down beside Li Hongbin.
"Brother Li, I have a new script and I'd like to talk to you about it. I think you're very suitable for my male lead. I wonder if you're interested."
Li Hongbin frowned slightly, "A stage play?"
"No, it's a TV series, about the War of Resistance. My script is very good, but it's missing a leading actor, a soul character. I think you're particularly suitable."
Li Hongbin shook his head, "Forget it, I'm very disappointed with TV dramas, I'm not interested."
Lin Chudong frowned, "Brother Li, why don't you take a look at the script first? This drama definitely has room for you to shine, and it's full of positive energy..."
At this moment, a woman walked over and greeted Li Hongbin.
"I'm done, let's go."
Li Hongbin quickly stood up, "I'm sorry, my wife has finished reviewing, we have to go."
Lin Chudong said, "Brother Li, can I get your number?"
Li Hongbin shook his head. "No, I'm not doing it. Ask someone else. I'm not acting in dramas anymore."
With that, the couple left the studio.
Lin Chudong was baffled. Why would an actor refuse a role, especially without even hearing the details?
He wasn't a rookie director anymore. He had a hit under his belt, so he was sure many actors would audition if he put out the word.
However, if they couldn't find the right person to play Li Yunlong, the soul of the drama would be gone.
Lin Chudong thought for a moment and sent a WeChat message to Lin Qiqi.
"Qiqi, can you find out why Li Hongbin isn't acting in dramas anymore? Ask Sister Song if she knows him."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Lin Qiqi replied.
A few years ago, Li Hongbin filmed a war of resistance drama, in which he played an old Eighth Route Army soldier.
But it was a ridiculous anti-Japanese drama, full of individual heroism, tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands, and shooting down planes with Hanyang rifles. It was like a martial arts film by the end.
Not only that, but the drama also distorted history and made fun of great people. As soon as it was released, it was immediately criticized by the whole network.
Li Hongbin was also scolded badly and experienced a cyber violence, so he was no longer interested in TV dramas, especially war of resistance dramas.
Lin Chudong was helpless, this was too unlucky, the anti-Japanese drama was a pit!
However, his drama was definitely a good one, but Li Hongbin had already lost heart and wouldn't give him a chance to introduce it.
Lin Qiqi: Da Fei, Sister Song has his address and phone number, do you want them? Lin Chudong: Yes, I'll go and invite him personally later, Changchun, Jilin, right? Lin Qiqi: Da Fei, I want to go too, it's snowing in the north, I want to see the snow! Lin Chudong: Okay, I'll go back to Modu tomorrow, and we'll set off together.
Lin Qiqi: Hmm, hee hee.
Lin Chudong hosted "Everyone's Concern" once in the evening. This time, he was with Sister Deng. Sister Deng could finally speak, and the show's effect was surprisingly good.
Deng Siqing: Welcome to "Everyone's Concern." I'm the host, Deng Siqing, and this is our guest, Da Fei. We talked about the weather yesterday. Unexpectedly, the northwesterly wind is even stronger today, and there's been heavy snowfall in the northeast. Please pay attention to keeping warm.
Lin Chudong: It's so cold. It's so cold that if you're sleeping soundly in bed, everywhere outside the bed is a distant land, and everywhere your hand can't reach is a foreign country. Even going to the bathroom feels like a business trip to a remote border area.
Deng Siqing: Northerners rely on heating to keep warm, southerners rely on drinking congee to sweat. On the issue of keeping warm, netizens across the country have basically maintained a rare consistency: wearing long johns. Though the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you really can't go without long johns. By the time your mom urges you to wear long johns, the temperature might have dropped a few more degrees…
