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

Chapter 519: The Progress of the Preparation for "Legend of Lu Zhen"

After Qi Yuan left, Fu Yibai picked up the phone on the table and dialed Chen Xi's number.

The phone rang five times before it was answered.

"Mr. Fu, I'm sorry, it was a bit noisy there, I didn't hear you."

Chen Xi's voice came through the receiver. The background noise was loud; people were calling out the venue's name, and others were moving things.

"It's nothing. Where are you now?"

"I'm in Hengdian."

"Oh, it's like this, I called to ask how the preparations for 'Legend of Lu Zhen' are going?"

When will it be able to turn on?

"Mr. Fu, I was just about to call you to report this."

Preparations for "Legend of Lu Zhen" are basically complete.

The director has already signed with director Li Huizhu.

In terms of casting, Zhao Liying plays Lu Zhen, Yang Rong plays Xiao Huanyun, and Bai Yu plays Gao Zhan.

"The second male lead, Gao Yan, and I did a resource exchange with Sugar Man Entertainment; they recommended an artist named Yuan Hong."

"Okay, you decide. Where's the filming location?"

"The situation in Hengdian has been coordinated."

The Qin Palace and the Ming and Qing Palace, the two main locations, have secured their availability and can begin set construction in early June.

The makeup and costume teams have been finalized, and Yang Rong has already confirmed the costume design sketches; she really likes several of Xiao Huanyun's looks.

"When will filming begin?"

"Tentatively scheduled for mid-June, the exact date will be determined based on the weather conditions."

"Okay, that's settled then. You go ahead and get busy."

When they returned to the villa in the capital in the evening, Yang Rong was teaching Zhao Ning to walk in the living room.

The little girl's two little hands were held by Yang Rong, and her two little legs trembled as she took a step forward, each step unsteady.

After taking three steps, she plopped down on the ground, paused for a moment, then looked up at Yang Rong and smiled.

Liu Yan was holding Jing Chen on the sofa, feeding him complementary food.

The little guy took a few bites and then started grabbing the spoon with his hands, getting pumpkin puree all over his face.

"You're back?"

"Um."

Fu Yibai changed into slippers and walked over, squatting down next to Yang Rong.

Zhao Ning sat on the carpet, looking up at him with her little face, stretching out her two little hands towards him, and making muffled "ah ah" sounds.

He reached out and pulled his daughter into his arms. The little girl immediately buried her face in his chest and rubbed against him. After rubbing, she raised her head and stared at him with her dark, grape-like eyes.

"dad."

The voice was very soft, with a slightly childlike quality, but the pronunciation was clear and distinct.

Fu Yibai was stunned for a moment.

Yang Rong chuckled beside her, "I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"Say it again." Fu Yibai looked down at his daughter.

Zhao Ning blinked, grinned, revealing her two lower front teeth, then reached out to grab his nose, without saying anything more.

"That's just how she is. She only calls out when she wants to. If you ask her to call out, she'll ignore you."

Yang Rong stood up from the carpet and patted off non-existent dust from her skirt.

Liu Yan wiped the pumpkin puree off Jing Chen's face with a wet wipe, and the little guy twisted and turned to avoid it, making dissatisfied whimpering noises.

Fu Yibai sat down on the sofa with Zhao Ning in his arms. When Jing Chen saw his sister being held, he immediately reached out towards Fu Yibai and made "hmm" sounds.

"You want a hug too?"

Fu Yibai stretched out his other hand.

Liu Yan handed Jing Chen over, and the little guy became well-behaved as soon as he entered his arms, leaning against the other side of his chest, clutching Fu Yibai's collar and yawning.

Yang Rong sat down on the single sofa next to her, curled up her legs, and smiled slightly as she looked at the three of them huddled together.

"By the way, Rongrong."

I called Chen Xi today.

Filming for "Legend of Lu Zhen" is expected to begin around mid-June. Get ready.

"Mid-June?"

Yang Rong looked at Zhao Ning with some reluctance.

"Rongrong, don't worry about filming. I can take care of Zhaoning."

Liu Yan spoke softly beside her, looking at Zhao Ning with tender eyes.

"She and I are very close, you don't need to worry."

"No need, Yi Bai has already bought a villa in Hengdian."

"When I'm filming, I have my mom take care of the kids there, so I can see Zhaoning after work."

"That's fine. If it's inconvenient for Auntie, I'll do it."

Zhao Ning is much more well-behaved than that brat Jing Chen.

"OK.

"But when do you plan to start construction?" Yang Rong asked.

"We'll see."

Liu Yan glanced at her son, who was almost asleep in Fu Yibai's arms.

"I don't really want to act right now."

If I ever feel restless at home, I'll ask Yibai to arrange some work for me.

A cameo appearance like last time would have been fine.

Fu Yibai looked down at the two little ones in his arms.

Zhao Ning had already fallen asleep, clutching his collar, her little mouth slightly pouting, her eyelashes long and thick.

Jingchen rested his head on the other side of her chest, closed his eyes, and breathed steadily and slowly.

"They're all asleep."

"Put it on the bed, so it doesn't weigh you down."

Yang Rong stood up and gently took Zhao Ning from his arms.

Liu Yan accepted Jing Chen's hand.

Two women carrying children walked upstairs, and Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, watching their figures disappear around the corner of the stairs.

The living room quieted down, with only the faint sound of the humidifier emitting white mist.

On the coffee table was half a bowl of pumpkin puree that Jingchen hadn't finished eating, and next to it was a small bottle of milk powder with a little bit left. Several baby toys were scattered on the sofa.

Fu Yibai picked up the remote, turned on the TV, tuned to Zhejiang TV, and turned the volume down to the lowest setting.

The latest season of "Running Man" is playing on the screen.

The regular MCs for this season are the same people as before, but Liu Yan's position has been replaced by Yang Mi.

Since they are all artists under the same company, Chenxi, and the sisters often interact on Weibo, the change of the permanent member did not cause any resentment among fans.

Yang Rong came downstairs and sat down next to him.

"Asleep?"

"Yeah, I didn't wake up even when I put her in bed. She's tired from playing today."

Yang Rong nestled into his arms and curled her legs up on the sofa.

Fu Yibai put his arm around her shoulder and gently stroked her shoulder with his fingers.

"Tell me immediately if anything happens during filming."

If you don't want to film anymore, you can also tell me.

These are all company projects; there's no need to push yourself.

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She responded softly, pressed her face against his chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat.
