Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 219 New Ideas

The car stopped in front of the villa. The bodyguard got out first, checked the surroundings, and then opened the car door.

Fu Yibai got out of the car, and the evening breeze blew in his face, carrying a slight chill.

Guo Zhenni came around from the other side, carrying his briefcase, and stood two steps away, waiting for his next instructions.

Fu Yibai glanced at her.

"Don't go back tonight."

"it is good."

When the door opened, the entryway light was on, and the sound of a television could be heard from the living room.

Liu Yan came out of the kitchen wearing a floral apron, her hair tied in a low ponytail, and a smile on her face.

"I'm back!"

"Perfect timing, the food is just ready."

Then she saw Guo Zhenni following behind Fu Yibai, paused for a moment, her smile didn't fade, but she looked her over more closely.

"Jenny's here too? Perfect, I'll cook a few more dishes."

Her tone was as natural as if she were welcoming an old friend; there was no surprise, no probing, just simple acceptance.

Guo Zhenni stood in the entryway, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Hello, Sister Yan."

"Don't stand there, come in and sit down."

Liu Yan turned and went back to the kitchen, but after taking a few steps, she poked her head out again.

"Oh, right, Binbin is here too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Binbin came down from upstairs.

She was wearing a silk robe, her hair was loose, she wasn't wearing makeup, and her skin glowed white under the light.

She stood at the corner of the stairs, looking down at the two people in the entryway, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile.

"You're back?"

His voice was languid, with a slightly hoarse quality, as if he had just woken up.

"Um."

Fu Yibai changed into slippers and walked into the living room.

Fan Binbin came down the stairs and walked up to him.

"You must be exhausted. Go take a shower first."

Fu Yibai grabbed her hand and squeezed it in his palm.

"Did you miss me?"

Fan Binbin rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything, but the smile on her lips betrayed her.

She turned her head and looked at Guo Zhenni, who was still standing in the entryway.

"Jenny, don't stand there."

There are slippers in the shoe cabinet, please help yourself.

Guo Zhenni responded nervously, bent down and took out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet to put on.

Fan Binbin sat down on the sofa, his gaze sweeping over Guo Zhenni before settling on Fu Yibai's face.

"Nice figure."

Fu Yibai sat down next to her and put his arm around her waist.

Are you jealous?

Why would I be jealous?

Fan Binbin slapped his hand away.

"Don't you have enough women around you? What difference does it make if you have one more or one less?"

"Go take a shower first, I'll go help Yan-jie."

After saying that, she got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Fu Yibai reassured Guo Zhenni to ease her tension before going upstairs to take a shower.

When he came downstairs after taking a shower, he had changed into a loose set of pajamas.

The atmosphere in the living room was much more harmonious than he had imagined.

The three women sat at the dining table, chatting and laughing.

"Come quick, the food's getting cold."

Liu Yan turned her head and waved to him.

Fu Yibai sat down next to Liu Yan and took a sip of soup.

"Home-cooked meals are still the best."

"Don't you like the food in Hong Kong?"

Fan Binbin picked up a piece of pork rib and put it into his bowl.

"Yeah, the food over there is too bland."

Fu Yibai picked up another piece of pork rib and ate it with great satisfaction.

Fan Binbin sat opposite him, resting her chin on her hand, her gaze sweeping over his face with a smile.

"I heard you're quite influential in Hong Kong."

"What's so impressive about it?"

"Still pretending."

Fan Binbin put down his chopsticks and leaned forward slightly.

"That scumbag Huang Gou has been running rampant in Hong Kong for many years."

I never imagined he would kneel down and apologize one day.

This is all over the industry now, everyone's saying that Director Fu has taken protecting his loved ones to a whole new level.

"Hmph, what's the point of kneeling down and apologizing? If it weren't for Yang Shoucheng's sake, I would have blacklisted him."

The thought of the yellow dog filled him with disgust.

However, the yellow dog's reign won't last long. After this incident, those Hong Kong producers or directors who want to make money in the mainland will actively distance themselves from him, since no one wants to offend the mainland market because of a yellow dog.

After dinner, the group sat on the sofa watching TV.

Fu Yibai, holding Liu Yan in his arms, asked in a low voice, "Is filming for Running Man Season 2 finished?"

"Yes, this is the last episode we recorded on the 10th."

"How are you feeling?"

"This time, everyone felt more familiar with each other and more relaxed."

Brother Chao and Brother Bo are so funny.

And then there's He Rundong; every time we have to play the name tag ripping game, it takes two or three of us to work together to beat him."

"Honey, how did you come up with this idea for the variety show?"

He's absolutely a genius.

Running Man really makes people shine.

Liu Yan is really popular now; I feel like her fame is almost catching up to mine.

Fan Binbin, who was standing nearby, immediately came over when he heard the two talking about Running Man.

"No way!"

Liu Yan waved her hand modestly, but couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Envious?"

Fu Yibai also pulled Fan Binbin into his arms.

"No, but Running Man is really interesting to watch on TV, and I'd really like to participate in an episode."

"That's easy. When we record the third season next year, we'll arrange for you to participate in an episode."

At this point, Fu Yibai paused, an idea popping into his mind.

"When the third season is being recorded, perhaps we can have the company's artists take turns participating in a few episodes."

The most flattering thing about Running Man isn't the games, but the name tag stuck to your back.

After one episode, the guests' names and images will be deeply imprinted in the audience's minds through repeated close-ups of their name tags.

This is more effective at boosting an actor's popularity than a few movies or TV series.

After all, most viewers rarely search for an actor's name when watching a movie or TV show.

When Fan Binbin heard that he could participate in Running Man, his eyes lit up immediately, but then he pursed his lips.

"But my schedule is pretty full next year, so I'll have to check the availability."

"It's okay, recording one episode only takes a day or two."

We'll discuss the scheduling later.

"Um."

The four chatted in the living room for a while longer. After Fan Binbin's groping and prodding, Fu Yibai could no longer hold back and took the three women upstairs.
