December 20th.

Twilight.

Yangcheng, Xingsheng Road.

Gluttonous Taishou Hotel.

Because of the reasons for taking leave to go out to take on dramas before, Liu Tao has been too busy in the past two or three months, and "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" has added drama to her day and night, and now it's okay, Lin Xiaoguang immediately took a flight to Yangcheng after filming "Human Life Matters" in the magic capital, and Liu Tao finally found an opportunity to "poison" Lin Xiaoguang, a foodie.

Although many people have heard of the restaurant introduced by Liu Tao, this does not prevent Lin Xiaoguang from eating delicious food.

This is an authentic private dish, the environment is acceptable, the production is commendable, but the price is also quite touching, if you want to eat enough, at least 300 yuan per person.

Of course, the meal cost of a few hundred yuan is not enough to make Lin Xiaoguang, a well-known actor, sigh with admiration.

But here, there is Liu Tao's personal sauerkraut fish that is the best in Guangzhou, and after eating the remaining soup base, she can't wait to pack it back and cook noodles by herself.

Also, the brown sugar steamed buns in this store are made by the beautiful proprietress of the store herself, and the taste is not bad.

There is one thing that makes Lin Xiaoguang feel particularly surprised, that is, Liu Tao's Cantonese is sloppy, which makes Lin Xiaoguang, a Guanggu person, a little embarrassed, mainly because Liu Tao has lived in Guangzhou for a long time before, and he also studied at Guangzhou University of Foreign Languages.

The fly in the ointment is that the young couple reunited after a long absence, and when they were eating in the box, they would call Liu Tao from time to time, Liu Tao had no choice but to eat while talking on the phone, which made Lin Xiaoguang look depressed on the side.

Seriously, it's normal for Lin Xiaoguang to feel depressed, the two of them have been together for a short time, and they have been separated for three months in the middle, and now they have come to Guangzhou from the magic capital, but they always watch Liu Tao talking to people on the phone in front of him.

Looking at Liu Tao, who was busy with business, but he couldn't interject at all, when he was helpless, Lin Xiaoguang took care of himself and filled a bowl of sauerkraut soup, picked it up and began to eat, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, put them in his mouth, chewed slowly, and could chew for half a minute in each bite.

Liu Tao was talking on the phone while holding the dishes, but Lin Xiaoguang lowered his head, his eyes did not communicate with Liu Tao at all, and he did not say a word.

Liu Tao sat across from him, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he made an excuse, hung up the phone, and asked, "Xiaoguang, what's the matter with you?

"It's okay, I'm happy. ”

"Then why don't you laugh?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiaoguang was stunned and asked, "Didn't I laugh?"

"No, since you came to Guangzhou, I haven't seen you laugh much. Liu Tao shook his head and said.

"Oh, maybe I've been too tired lately, and I just took another flight in the afternoon. "Lin Xiaoguang is duplicitous.

Liu Tao pursed his lips and stared at him for a while, but he still couldn't see anything wrong, so he gave up for the time being, picked up the spoon casually, and was about to serve him soup.

Lin Xiaoguang put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand and said, "Hey, no, no, I'll come by myself, and you continue to talk about your phone." ”

Hearing Lin Xiaoguang say this, Liu Tao understood everything at once.

"Xiaoguang, don't be angry, I promise, from now on, I won't answer a single phone, and I will concentrate on eating with you. Liu Tao happened to comfort Lin Xiaoguang with a good voice, and at this moment, a phone call signed "Brother Dong" came in again.

The phone rang a few times, Liu Tao first glanced at Lin Xiao's expression, hesitated to answer, and before Liu Tao could speak, Lin Xiaoguang saw her embarrassment, sighed, stopped eating, took out a cigarette directly from his trouser pocket, held it to his mouth, and said, "You take it, I'll smoke a cigarette." ”

Liu Tao was a little sorry, but he still shook his head helplessly, picked up the phone, and then said with a smile: "Hey, Uncle Dong, hello, my friend and I are eating out......"

"I'm really sorry, I may have to go to the capital next month at the latest, I hope you can understand......"

In order to dispel Lin Xiaoguang's concerns, in the middle of the call, Liu Tao simply turned on the phone speakerphone.

Lin Xiaoguang heard it, on the other end of the phone: "Xiaotao, you can think about it carefully, you have a good image, your image is given to you by your parents, if you can't perform, we can teach you, so our crew has equipped you with good actors such as Shu Lisheng and Liu Xiaoguo, and help you with the old and the new, if you leave Guangzhou and go to other places, you won't have such a good treatment...... ”

Good birds choose trees to perch, this is Liu Tao's life creed, besides, people go to high places, water flows to low places, just one Guangzhou, which can compare to the vast whole of China.

After a phone call, it took seven or eight minutes to speak, and Lin Xiaoguang also smoked three cigarettes in a row before he saw Liu Tao hang up the phone.

However, when Lin Xiaoguang saw Liu Tao turning on the speakerphone, the conversations with that "Uncle Dong" seemed to be basically work-related, so he didn't mind it so much.

"Are you really going to resign?" asked Lin Xiaoguang suspiciously.

Liu Tao nodded and said calmly: "Well, the Uncle Dong who talked to me on the phone just now is the producer of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", I told him a few days ago that I will leave Guangzhou next month at the latest. ”

"Then where are you going?" Lin Xiaoguang felt uncomfortable in his heart, although he had long known that Liu Tao would leave the crew of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he didn't expect Liu Tao to never mention it to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

"The capital. ”

"Beijing?"

"Hmm. A few days ago, I met a Taiwanese agent, and she said that if I follow her, I may participate in a Qiong Yao drama early next year. ”

Listening to Liu Taoyun's light answer, Lin Xiaoguang was angry, and said in his heart, I don't know anything about my boyfriend, so he hurriedly asked: "Is the Taiwanese agent a man or a woman?"

Staring at Lin Xiaoguang's concerned expression, Liu Tao said angrily and funny: "Of course it is reliable, besides, she is a woman, what do you have to worry about?"

Lin Xiaoguang said dissatisfiedly: "Why have you happened so many things recently, and you refuse to tell me?"

As Liu Tao's boyfriend, Lin Xiaoguang felt that he should have a little right to know about her situation, but unfortunately, out of a confidentiality agreement, every time Liu Tao talked to Lin Xiaoguang on the phone, he was talking about something that was not salty or light.

Facing Lin Xiaoguang's questioning, Liu Tao lowered his head and drank the soup, his eyes flickered a little, and he said in a low voice: "I won't tell you, it's not that I'm afraid that you will worry about it, and it will affect your filming." ”

After listening to Liu Tao's answer, Lin Xiaoguang felt a lot better, but he began to worry about her, and hurriedly asked, "That...... Is that Uncle Dong willing to let go? You signed a three-year contract with the TV station, how can you just leave? ”

Liu Tao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It should be willing, Uncle Dong is not embarrassed for me, he is a very educated old-timer, and he has been thinking of ways to keep me these days." ”

Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly asked, "What is the retention method?"

It turned out that last month, during the filming of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", Liu Tao was photographed by Taiwan's gold medal producer Yang Peipei, so Liu Tao began to resign from the crew of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" in the past few days.

As the producer of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", "Uncle Dong" - Dong Zhiyong has long known that Liu Tao has the potential to become popular, and he wants to keep her in every possible way.

So, Dong Zhiyong talked to her many times, whether on the set or on the phone, he told Liu Tao that he would focus on cultivating her and open a big drama for her every year, ensuring that she could have a monthly income of more than 20,000 yuan during the crew of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", but she still couldn't keep it.

Of course, the reason why Dong Zhiyong retained Liu Tao at such a cost is not only because she has the potential to become popular, but also because of the popularity of the drama "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang".

In other words, although the story structure of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" is very simple, the four brothers of "Guangzong Yaozu" under the traditional family of Xiguan married four foreign daughters-in-law, which triggered a series of stories.

However, this story is the most down-to-earth in the open sky of Guanggu at the beginning of the 21st century, like telling the story that will happen in your and my family.

After the broadcast, the ratings of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" once exceeded 40% in Guanggu area, creating a ratings myth, but few people know that this drama experienced many difficulties before it came out of the "mother's womb".

It can be said that Dong Zhiyong, as the first generation of producers, played a key role in the success of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang".

In fact, Dong Zhiyong's proud works in his career are not limited to "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang".

Catching up with the golden age of Guanggu's film and television industry, Dong Zhiyong was also a trendsetter.

In the producer's circle, he has worked hard to build his brand image and status.

For a successful producer Dong Zhiyong, actors are the key to the success of a play, he has been in the entertainment industry for decades, what kind of person will become popular, what kind of person deserves to be unknown for a lifetime, he can see through it at a glance.

Obviously, Dong Zhiyong admires Liu Tao very much and feels that one day, she can become the first sister of Zhujiang Terrace, or even the first sister of Guanggu Terrace.

However, Yang Peipei, a gold medal agent from Taiwan, is also very optimistic about Liu Tao, so she will recommend her to shoot Qiong Yao's new drama.

The showbiz is like this, whether an actor can be popular or not, in addition to acting skills, the most important thing is the eye edge, the so-called eye edge, that is, the audience edge, does not mean that a person will be able to become popular no matter how handsome and tall he is.

The audience is very mysterious.

It has nothing to do with beauty and ugliness, it has nothing to do with style, and the saddest thing is that it has nothing to do with acting. It seems that there are no specific details and methods that can be described, just a feeling, and Liu Tao can give people this innate feeling.

Contrary to Liu Tao, such as Jing Tian , Guan Xiaotong , Yuan Shanshan , etc., these actresses who are not popular with the audience in later generations, in terms of the resources they hold, their later status quo has not played the due effect of resources at all, and even Jing Tian's popularity depends on everyone gossiping about her resource background and becoming popular by "not being popular".
