Jiang Nian’s “My President Daren” exploded in hot search. Lao Wei saw it one step ahead of Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng was still filming at that time. Lao Wei looked with surprise and found that many people had reacted to the show. “Hahaha, what kind of sand sculpture plot”, “Hahaha, the mudslide heroine is really a shame to heroines, she was bought by five million, why couldn’t she hold out for 50 million?”, “Hahaha Ms. Yao, move quickly, we can’t wait”, “How good is this crew?”, “Hahaha, mother asked me why I laughed like crazy. Hahaha!”

……The style of painting was very strange, but it was highly praised.

He was quite surprised. He’d thought Jiang Nian and the few young masters were playing around. Even if they took some shots, the quality would not be too good. Besides, idol dramas were a dime a dozen now. It was not always possible to have a big explosion. Let alone a big explosion, even a small fire was difficult.

Of course, the big explosion he referred to included some of the TV dramas packed with popular young stars.

Lao Wei still didn’t quite believe that Jiang Nian was able to explode with an idol drama. So many praises must have come from the sailors invited by Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao!

While waiting for Zhao Heng to film, he couldn’t help but watch an episode with curiosity, and then the next, then the next. And then he eventually saw Ms. Yao throwing out five million checks thinking ‘It’s time’. And saw……the heroine’s shining eyes as she gazed at the five million and her heartfelt voice that stopped him in his tracks.

—Puchi!

The soda in his mouth sprayed the entire screen, whoops!

“Ahhhhhh!”

This was the first time he could not help laughing out loud, and then had to admit that the heroine was indeed a mudslide heroine, a wonderful work in the television industry, no wonder so many people shouted “Mom, save me, there’s a sand sculpture TV show here!”

In the final analysis, he still underestimated Jiang Nian’s ability.

When Zhao Heng was playing, Lao Wei was still coughing darkly, coughing and laughing, and tears filled his eyes. It was rare for him to react so dramatically as he got older.

Zhao Heng was quite surprised and asked him what happened?

Lao Wei wiped his face, “Go to Weibo and search it on your own.”

When “My President Daren” was first broadcast, Zhao Heng also helped forward the promotion, but his fans were limited, and the influence after reposting had not reached Bi Zheng’s. At this moment, he opened the Weibo hot search with curiosity, and actually saw “My President Daren” high up in the real-time hot search!

This must not be bought. Jiang Nian was so poor that she couldn’t afford it.

This means “My President Daren”……blew up?

Zhao Heng was no less surprised than Lao Wei. Although he knew Jiang Nian’s dedication and seriousness to this play, this was her first idol drama, and she also directed on her own. Her experience in all aspects was insufficient; it was already good to be able to have some popularity at all. Yet, it had become a hot search, and the discussion still continued to rise. The short-term click had already exceeded 200 million!

What this meant was self-evident.

Lao Wei said: “I didn’t expect Jiang Nian to still have some directing talents. She has a good beginning now. As long as she manages it well, it will not be too bad in the future.”

It’s just that web dramas weren’t mainstream, and it took time to shift to something else.

Of course, Zhao Heng was very happy for Jiang Nian. The first thing he thought of was that Jiang Nian no longer had to worry about funds. He couldn’t help bending his lips, and his resolute eyebrows were dyed with a touch of gentleness. He seemed even more polite and personable.

“Mr. Zhao, Wei ge, what are you talking about so happily?”

Li Ru, dressed in a cheongsam, came over, still holding the script in her hand and gently smiling.

Li Ru’s character in “The Spy” was a female teacher and colleague of Meng Tianwen played by Zhao Heng. She had always secretly liked Meng Tianwen and defended him her life when Meng Tianwen’s identity was soon discovered. This was a very good role. Of course, in real life, she also revealed some other feelings for Zhao Heng during the nearly two-month shooting schedule.

Seeing Li Ru coming, Zhao Heng politely said, “I’m sorry, I’m fine. I’ll go and call my girlfriend first.”

Li Ru’s smile stiffened for a moment, watching Zhao Heng walk to a quiet place on one side. Lao Wei’s face was flat and he didn’t seem to see anything. He cheerfully praised Li Ru for his good performance and finally left after reducing the embarrassment of Li Ru’s heart. She stood for a while, and returned to her resting place holding the script.

She was originally very dissatisfied with Zhao Heng, and did not understand why Director Li Tang chose a small actor to play Meng Tianwen as the male lead but, after contacting Zhao Heng, she couldn’t help becoming more attracted to him every time they acted together, whether it was his deep and handsome face, his rich acting skills, or his calm and restrained character in private. Most of the people in this circle were impetuous and vain. There weren’t many people clean and self-satisfied like Zhao Heng.

She could not help but be attracted by Zhao Heng and wanted to be close to him, but he had a girlfriend, which he had never hidden. Now, he kept his distance from her, which made her embarrassed, but also attracted her to him even more.

Li Ru didn’t want to give up on this. She had the right to pursue happiness. Besides, she didn’t think Zhao Heng’s girlfriend was better than her.

“Ru jie, you see, there is a small web drama that’s fired.”

Li Ru took the assistant’s mobile phone and glanced at it: “‘my President Daren’? There are many such small Mary Sue dramas, the hot search must be also be bought. The heat will fade before long.”

The assistant said, “No, Ru jie, I heard that this was taken by President Bi’s eldest sister. The whole crew is a special tyrant. The male lead’s casual clothes are hundreds of thousands. There are luxury cars, the heroine is also a mudslide, the discussion is really lively! I went to see a few episodes, really very pretty, although it is a drama, but it’s very different from the usual drama.”

Li Ru became concerned. Was this drama actually shot by the elder sister of President Bi? Who in their circle didn’t know President Bi? He came to visit the class a few days ago. She as a small female role, was barely able to say hello to Bi Zheng. That man was really outstanding, whether it was worth or looks. Who knew how many women sent him signals secretly as he walked along, but he just ignored it and kept his cold face.

If it was filmed by Ms. Bi, she should definitely support it.

Across the studio, Zhao Heng was talking to Jiang Nian, but Jiang Nian did not seem to be as happy as Zhao Heng thought. She seemed downright unhappy by the sound of her voice. He was quite confused.

“Are you unhappy?”

Jiang Nian said angrily, “Audience friends all said that I was rich and oily, that I was so rich and wealthy, but in fact I’m beyond poor! This is really the most malicious speculation on me!”

Zhao Heng: “………”

” It’s too much, don’t you think?!”

“……Yes?”

“Huh?”

“It’s too much.”

“Yes!”

Zhao Heng heard Jiang Nian complaining pitifully and felt soft inside.

***

Lao Wei and Zhao Heng knew that Jiang Nian’s “My President Daren” exploded. Naturally, Bi Zheng also knew. His younger brother, Bi Lei, ran into his room and danced in celebration. In addition to celebration, he(BL) put particular emphasis on ridiculing him for having no vision, saying, now that they were on fire, wasn’t he sorry that he didn’t invest?!

He couldn’t help but think of the saying, “You never know what you’ve got until it’s gone”!

And because that Weibo was posted on his account, he was now receiving a lot of congratulatory messages. He saw these messages with a sneer and didn’t reply.

“Our Jiang jie is awesome hahaha! Jiang jie is a genius!”

After taking an arrow to the knee, Bi Zheng did a specially dumb thing-hiding in the quilt to chase the drama!

He didn’t believe it. Just an idol drama, could it look as good as the outside world said?

…After about a few minutes, the mound under the quilt shuddered, and one could even hear the sound of smothered laughter.

He was shocked. He saw so many movies and TV shows but this was the first he saw such a mudslide!

Of course, he still couldn’t help but grit his teeth. This stupid kid actually stole so many things and offered them to his big sister.

“Bi Lei, roll in for me!”¹

Bi Lei ran away as soon as he heard something was wrong.

****

Compared with Bi Zheng, Zheng Hao’s life seemed not so good. After all, Bi Zheng only has one Bi Leii to show off in front of him. Zheng Ershao had a whole family. His grandfather, his father, his mother, his grandmother, and his brother all crowded together to watch “My President Daren” to ‘ha ha ha ha’ non-stop.

He didn’t know how many times he’d seen this scene.

Especially his grandmother, those dentures were laughed out who knows how many times!

His grandmother was also very happy, pointing at the TV and dancing, “You see, that’s me and my grandson.”

Then she worried, “Did I tip too little?”

Mother Zheng pressed Grandma Zheng’s hand said, “A lot, a lot. When you look at the barrage, you say that you are cute and that you have a vision, that guy is really handsome!”

This was good, and Grandma Zheng laughed out her dentures again.

Zheng Qi was a little shy. Although he was featured several times (after all, they didn’t have the money to ask for so many extras), it really felt strange to see himself on the screen. Especially the sharp-eyed barrage saying that ‘this little brother is very familiar, yeah, it really looks familiar but is also handsome!’

Jiang Nian paid special attention to them when they first appeared on the scene. Although they didn’t have the money to ask for group performances, they didn’t let anyone know who he was, so they also altered some small features with makeup and clothing. If you didn’t look closely, it was really impossible to see it was the same person. After all, they were all unknown passers-by. Who’d pay so much attention?

So, at this time, a lot of comments popped up saying that the coffee brother was very handsome and familiar, but they really couldn’t tell where they’d had seen him. Who would pay attention to the male lead’s driver?

Grandpa Zheng and Father Zheng are also very happy. After all, compared to Zheng Qi a few months ago, he was now a lot more stable and mature, and did not go out to confuse things. Of course, this change was most gratifying to his parents. However, they couldn’t help but sigh again, “Jiang Nian is kind and a talented good girl.”

Upon hearing praise for his elder sister, Zheng Qi immediately glanced at his elder brother: “Have you heard, Jiang jie is very good and talented. It’s just that some people have problems with their eyes and can’t see it.”

Zheng Ershao glanced at Zheng Qi: “Should you explain why the car so familiar?”

Zheng Qi: “……No, I don’t know.”

Zheng Hao touched his chin with one hand and looked at Zheng Qi with his legs tilted. He said, “Since my brother comes to calculate the bill with me, when will we calculate the rental fee?” 🙂

Zheng Qi turned his eyes and ran away. He is so poor, where can he afford the rental fee?

Father Zheng laughed.”Lao Er, don’t always tease your brother deliberately. See, he dares not play with you now.”

Zheng Ershao: “…Don’t call me Lao Er.”

Father Zheng laughed: “Lao Er, you really are a child. Didn’t you sneak out to help when Jiang Nian went to Apple Channel to sell copyrights? No one will laugh at you, so there is no need to hide.”

Zheng Ershao hummed: “It wasn’t me, it was Bi Zheng.”

Father Zheng patted Zheng Hao’s shoulders nicely and said, “Dad knows that you are all good children who care for your brothers.”

“………”

Zheng Hao stood up and left, ignoring his parents, his mother, and his grandmother constantly shouting Hao Hao behind him.

His family is so sad.

In fact, he was also surprised that the small net drama made by these stinks was so great. The heat was getting better every day. Even when he was at work, he could occasionally hear someone discuss “My President Daren”. He also secretly watched it, and it was rather good. However, every time he saw something familiar being worn by a certain male lead, he couldn’t help but want to be foolish.

The Bi family and the Zheng family were very lively. The Chen family was much better. Chen Xin watched the show several times with joy, and then wrote a report to his parents who were away from home all year round. This time, he wrote passionately about their lofty aspirations. Of course, he also highlighted the difficulties they encountered when filming this drama, and how they overcame them, to finally have today.

Chen Xin’s parents still felt bad for him, so they finally gave him pocket money again. This was really a lot of money for the often poor Chen Xin. He looked at those few bills and almost cried..

He did not expect that one day he could be a rich man again and experience the joy of being rich!

……And touched the empty purse again. Should he secretly hide some private money?

****

Some of the creators were floating on cloud nine. Of course, Chen Qing and Song Hanhan who starred were even more happy. Their Weibos had increased tens of thousands of fans, and continued to rise.

Therefore, when everyone was celebrating with joy, probably only Jiang Nian thought about the long-term future. The audience’s misunderstanding made her sad, so she could only emphasize to Chen Qing and Song Hanhan, they must be careful to explain to the audience friends-she is really very poor!!!

She also threatened, “You don’t want to change the global real estate into the national real estate or even the city real estate, right?”

Chen Qing: “…………”

Song Hanhan: “…………”

OK, they also want to see the world.

“Nandu Entertainment Weekly” had become more and more popular in recent years. Almost every time there was an artist who fired, they could always meet each other to shoot a magazine as soon as possible. This time was no exception.

Nandu Entertainment Weekly issued an early notice of this period of interview. Chen Qing and Song Hanhan attended the magazine shoot together. They also did an interview afterwards that was edited into clips and released to attract audience. The here here were all, “My President Daren, why so rich”, “My President Daren, anecdotes of the national gold father President Bi”, and so on.

The official Weibo of “My President Daren” reposted the promotional video of “Nandu Entertainment Weekly” as soon as possible.

[President Bi’s Wife] naturally waited on the front line after seeing it, and the audience friends who loved show were naturally curious. After all, this drama was not one-half a minute, and there were also speculations that after the filming of this drama, I am afraid that it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. After all, this was the eldest sister of the national gold lord father, President Bi, so it wasn’t really unusual. Now Nandu Entertainment Weekly got a first-hand interview, of course, it could not be missed!

Then things broke down a bit.

Everything else is good, they just can’t stand Chen Qing and Song Hanhan saying in unison that their crew is really poor! Their elder sister is really poor!

Netizens fried the pan! ²

[I don’t know]: “It’s just a small villa covering a thousand square meters, but it’s a name brand suit, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, and only a global limited Hermès. We are very poor, really poor. Boohoo!”

[Kaka]: “I heard the best joke this year. My President Daren said he was very poor and poor!”

[Passerby]: “Mom, come and see My President Daren is crying poor!”

[Ning ning]: “I think……poverty may limit my imagination, My President Daren is really poor.”

[Waves taste cents]: “Poverty ah. So, this is poverty, it was a poor cast ah.”

[Fish fish] : “Ah, hey, our president daren is really poor, don’t embarrass him!”

Almost a few moments ago, the reviews exploded, and there was a continuous upward trend. Everyone said that they had not seen such a poor crew, and their cognition was refreshed every day. If this was poor, what were they???

This was a question worth pondering.

Chen Qing and Song Hanhan didn’t quite understand why the host’s face suddenly twisted after saying that their crew was poor.

“You say your crew is poor, then your name brand suits and high-end watch……was it a fake set?”

Chen Qing blushed a bit: “…Because our crew was already poor enough and couldn’t afford the clothing at that time, so the styling teacher secretly took the elder brother’s things, we used them carefully as props, and returned immediately after wearing it! So it’s really not rich.”

Song Hanhan thought that in the future, they would buy real estate in the world and also seriously explained, “Yes, the reason we change every day is because we’re in a hurry every time we get clothes and can’t ensure it is the same every time……it really helped our savings not having to pay to rent.”

The host felt that there was something wrong with his cognition. Not only the host, but even the audience who saw the scene widened their eyes and seemed to hear it. What’s weird?!!

As for why Maserati today and Rolls-Royce tomorrow, wasn’t it because their prop masters were so smart, they didn’t grab the same car every time they commit a crime? They still had to confuse the owners with their division of labor: maybe, today, you take the clothes and I take the car, tomorrow, I take the clothes and you take the car, so things were naturally confused.

There was no way. After all, this was really too poor. Sometimes they would encounter various problems because of the need to play.

Moderator: “………!!!”

Netizens: “………????”

Are your styling masters and prop masters sacred? So rich?

……No, no, our prop masters and styling masters are also very poor. All the money is used to invest in Jiang jie’s filming. It is because there is no extra funds. So, they did what they could, you know?

“We don’t even dare to even NG in the crew, because the eldest sister said that NG consumes too much money and we could only eat steamed buns and pickles. We are really too poor! Don’t be confused because our villa is luxurious. We’re so poor that were even afraid to turn on the air conditioning and could only use fans.”

“We are really very poor, so poor that we couldn’t even afford extras. Most of them are guest appearances by the crew.”

“Yeah, we are really poor, so poor that we couldn’t even afford propaganda fees!”

Oh, shove it!

So how can you get Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao to help promote? Aren’t they your golden fathers? How dare you cry poor!

“No, no, of course not. Although Jiang jie has always wanted to find them to invest but, for various reasons, this matter has not been successful.”

……Except for secretly borrowing the clothes and car of the two gold master fathers, the two gold master fathers had no involvement in their crew except to come to intimidate their careful livers once!

As for why the two golden master dads Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao helped propagate, this was probably a trade secret, and they don’t know. [Goodness.jpg]

Of course, at the end of the final interview, Chen Qing and Song Hanhan wiped their sweat together and bowed deeply in thanks.

……Matters of the gold master fathers, all of that belonged to Jiang jie. Go to her if you have any questions.

Not only was the host stagnant for a while, even the netizens seemed to see the new world and fried again!

They knew for the first time that someone could be poor like this???

The audience who watched collectively was shocked: “………!!!”

The world once again refreshed their cognition.

So, this period of interview was naturally cut into a moving picture and hyped a lot. The popularity of “My President Daren” rose sharply again, occupying a hot search position. More sharp-eyed netizens started picking it apart. The more they picked, the more they felt that this crew was indeed a mudslide of mudslides!

This crew was very poor, so poor that every luxury item was real! No luxury item was fake, not even the global limited editions, let alone the mid-level villa. But they were truly really poor. They could only eat steamed buns and pickles, and the red carpet was washed and reused. There was no money to even invite group performance, real poverty! Being able to finish a play in such a poor situation, this legendary Jiang jie was really amazing.

[The president’s careful liver]: “Hahahaha, I said why the coffee brother is so familiar, isn’t that the little driver of the president?”

[I’m a mudslide]: “Hahaha you guys don’t say that, he’s also the gatekeeper!”

[Hard mudslide]: “What kind of god is this crew? Where the hell does this mudslide crew come from? What kind of character is the legendary Jiang jie? I have to see her!”

[I am poor]: “Am I the only one curious why they say that they don’t know why the gold master fathers helped promote? Is there anything we don’t know?”

[Five million hello]: “No, you are all wrong, this crew is so poor. That five million check is definitely a fake. I’m going to steal the check, don’t stop me!”

Oh, they almost forgot about it, five million, five million. Now the most important thing is five million!

Of course, there is also a weak voice saying, “Only speaking, do I think the clothes and cars of the President are familiar?”

Can it be familiar? As a national father, Bi Zheng’s popularity is still very high, and Zheng Hao’s was not low.

It would be discovered sooner or later!

****

There was a lot of enthusiasm on the Internet. After this interview was broadcast, “My President Daren” hit 300 million hits.

Jiang Nian was very satisfied. Although the comments were a bit confusing, she believed that everyone should believe that she was a poor person at this time. Her heart was about to fly, she was waiting for the gold master fathers to invest in her.

Her dream of buying property around the world was about to come true again.

And because of the popularity of her “Five Million”, several well-known video sites had contacted her and wanted to buy the broadcast rights.

Jiang Nian almost saw a wad of bills beckoning to her. She finally got rid of poverty and became rich and went to Sunshine Avenue!

Of course, it would be nice if her two golden thighs were good people.

Bi Zheng suddenly called and said, “Jiang jie, let’s meet.”

“………”

She was still surprised here, and Zheng Ershao also called: “Jiang jie, let’s meet.” ”

Jiang Nian: “………. I don’t know, I don’t know anything, I really don’t know anything????”

Bi Zheng & Zheng Hao: Hehe 🙂

This is all the pot of gold master younger brothers!

Footnotes

1. More accurate translation would be ‘get your ass in here’. 滚(‘roll’) is quite an interesting term in Chinese. Its literal meaning is ‘roll’ but its meaning is varied based on the context, though it’s always commanding movement. By itself, it can mean ’move’/’come here’, ‘leave’/’come here, now’, or even ‘gtf out of my face’/’get your ass over here’ based on how commanding/derogatory the speaker intends to be. In this context, it’s pretty commanding. Note: You’ll often see this word used with ‘overbearing president’ type characters..^
2. Like a drop of water in a pan of hot oil- bubbled, went ballistic, etc. Preferred the imagery here so I kept the literal translation. ^
