Chapter 316: A huge job relying on the authorities!
Chapter 316: A huge job relying on the authorities!
"Dalin, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but if you called us here late at night to announce something other than some amazing deal, I would absolutely throw your room card away and leave you to feed mosquitoes all night."
As Su Xing spoke, he slapped his arm with a "slap" sound. When he took his hand away, the mosquito slipped away in advance, leaving only the mark of his slap on his arm.
Living in a small mountain village near the tropical rainforest with fresh air and picturesque scenery is nice, but there are too many mosquitoes, especially when they have to turn on camping lights outdoors at night. Even if there is a mosquito repellent lamp hanging nearby, it is not very useful.
Dalin originally thought that the yard outside was more spacious and the night breeze would be comfortable, so he did not choose his room as the meeting place. As a result, less than twenty seconds after he stood there, three mosquitoes kissed him.
Sorry to bother you, he was abrupt.
The nine people ran back to Dalin and Zhao Hao's room in shame. Although it was a bit crowded and they could only sit around two beds, at least they didn't have to feed the mosquitoes.
Dalin then began, "Everyone's tired today, so I'll cut to the chase and get straight to the point. I wanted to ask if you guys have any schedules after the Spring Festival. Since it's almost Chinese New Year, time is tight and we don't have much time to prepare, so I'm going to skip your management team and contact you personally. If the schedule is suitable, we'll discuss it in detail with the team."
"After the Spring Festival? There's no specific timeframe?" Zhang Yuan asked. "I'm not sure. I just got back from the holiday, so I probably won't be that hardworking, right? You'd have to ask someone if they're free after performing on the Spring Festival Gala."
Zhang Yuan glared at Wang Mouliang with a sinister look.
"The Spring Festival Gala is on New Year's Eve, not after the New Year. Yuanyuan, appearing on the Spring Festival Gala will not delay your schedule after the New Year." Wang Zhengliang's smile seemed harmless, but in fact, every word he said pierced Zhang Yuan's heart.
"Okay, stop talking, little mouth!" Zhang Yuan made a duck-mouth gesture.
"It's mid-January now, and things are set for early February after the Lunar New Year. We're really rushed. What's going on? Do you have any new work?" Su Xing said, unable to resist a joke. "Are you guys trying to seamlessly transition into Fast 3? Sometimes you should restrain your love. Don't you get tired of looking at all of us all the time? Even if you're not tired, I am. Distance creates beauty."
"It's not Quick 3, but there is indeed a job. To be precise, it can be considered a big job, a huge job. The specific time is not yet determined and it depends on the time of all of you, but the range must be between the end of the year and early March." Dalin explained.
Su Xing changed the subject: "But distance also creates gaps. I think the Spring Festival has given us enough time to breathe. We still have to tie ourselves up next."
"Look at you." Wang Yuexin gave him a look of disdain, and then immediately told Dalin, "I'm free, for sure. I haven't found any work for myself since the New Year."
"What is it about? Brother Lin and Brother Hao, you guys are great. Our Daqian has made it big and can get big jobs." Lu Hu was a little curious about what kind of job could be described as big by Dalin.
"Remember last year's 'Happy Back'? This is similar to that one, a spin-off of 'Kuaishou 2'."
"Although 'Happy Back' has been improved in all aspects, and we are grateful to the investors and local tourism bureau who sponsored us, this is not a huge improvement, right?" Land Rover was even more confused.
Dalin nodded in understanding. "Indeed, if we just consider it a quick spin-off, it's not a big deal. After all, our variety show isn't that big..."
"But what if I told you this 'local tourism bureau' should expand internationally? What if I told you this mission involves us traveling west to Europe as a 'cultural ambassador' to promote tourism and cultural exchange between China and the Bullfighting Kingdom on the fiftieth anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, ultimately having a cordial and friendly exchange with Grand Duke Alaric, the initiator of this event, in the Bullfighting Kingdom? Would that be considered a huge undertaking?"
"By the way, we've already reported this to the higher-ups, so this 'Cultural and Entertainment Ambassadors Group' isn't something we made up, but has been officially certified by both countries..."
"Why are you all silent? Are you stunned?"
As Dalin was talking, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. But when he saw that Lao Beibei had strange expressions and was quiet and not doing anything weird, he suddenly felt puzzled.
Because no matter how you look at it, such a huge event on a special official anniversary will not normally fall on the shoulders of a "civilian" organization like Daqian. It is impossible for such a variety show to be open to public bidding. CCTV has to shoot the show and choose the artists by itself, and they can't even get any relevant information.
As a result, the most unlikely thing actually happened.
God knows how Dalin convinced himself that he was not dreaming when he learned that the Bullfighting Kingdom, the initiator and organizer of this event, and the financial backer Alaric and his family business Larich had specifically asked Daqian and the Re-employment Men's Group to be in charge of this variety show.
The key point is that the above people actually agreed? !
Even if Larich had sponsored Fast 2 with a small amount of money because Yu Yu was from the Bullfighting Country and in order to open up the Porcelain Country market, they couldn't have given them a program that could easily rise to the level of both countries just for Yu Yu's sake, right?
Could it be that while observing the filming of Fast and Furious 2, they realized the potential of themselves and the old Beibeis?
Dalin couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up. It was impossible for a small-time Karami to guess what those big shots were thinking. The point was, this was a huge deal! And the exclusive sponsor, Larich, had given him too much!
So many that he wondered if Larich, the sponsor of Kuaifa 2, was a fake company with the same name.
Dalin and Zhao Hao couldn't understand why their brothers, who usually would yell like monkeys in a zoo at the slightest disturbance, were so calm and composed in the face of such great news.
But they didn't know that the brothers who seemed quiet on the surface were actually holding on hard, and they were so angry that the barrage in their hearts had already reached the sky, and they were holding on to the bed sheets tightly to prevent themselves from revealing their brothers' true identities.
If someone could read minds right now, the moment he stood before them would be the moment he became deaf.
"Aha, indeed, well, that's good news."
Finally, Yu Yu, who was considered by the brothers to be the most qualified and the one who should speak, spoke. He spoke in a heavy tone, enunciating each word.
In the blind spot of Dalin and Zhao Hao, Wang Yuexin had no idea how many times he had pinched Yu Yu's back, and the other brothers who tried their best to restrain themselves had secretly winked at him countless times.
Yu Yu knew what they were imagining. The key point was that this matter had nothing to do with him and he knew nothing about it. But he could guess that this was done by some stupid, rich and unscrupulous guy.
Apart from that cheap dad, no one else has the ability to make such a big fuss.
"The anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations is March 3th, right? I don't have much odd jobs, and I'm free after the New Year, so I can coordinate with my brothers." Finally, after learning what the specific work was, Yu Yu expressed his opinion.
Only after he made his statement did the others who had been unsure of what he meant and dared not say anything say that they also had time and could find a gap to travel abroad together.
After receiving affirmative responses from seven people, Dalin and Zhao Hao finally smiled. Zhao Hao even began to tease his brothers who were not so good at foreign languages that they had to cram with him for a while. This time they were traveling abroad on behalf of the motherland and going to the "Western Regions", so they had to perform well.
However, the brothers who usually would tease him about running away from home were acting out of character this time. Not to mention the most active Yue Lai and Yue Jiang Zhi, even Su Xing and Yu Yu, who were the most eloquent and the best at making jokes, just hummed and laughed awkwardly. This made the two of them feel a little embarrassed, thinking that they were too tired to digest this magical good news.
So they chatted briefly for a few more sentences and quickly ended the meeting, which Dalin had thought would last until late at night.
"Good night, have a good rest." The producer and director said to the brothers without moving.
"Okay, okay, good night, see you tomorrow morning." The brothers sat there and waved without moving.
The two sides looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
"What are you thinking, brothers? You're really stunned by the pie in the sky." Yu Yu stood up with a smile, "Let's go back to the nest. This is the room of our program leader."
"Oh yes, yes, I almost forgot, hahaha." The brothers laughed awkwardly, stood up quickly, said good night to Dalin and Zhao Hao again too enthusiastically, and left quickly with Yu Yu.
There were only two people left in the room that was originally crowded with people. They looked at each other and scratched their heads, feeling that these seven people were a little strange tonight.
After the seven strange people left Dalin and Zhao Hao's room, they followed Yu Yu and Su Xing directly back to their room. The moment they closed the door, Zhang Yuan and Wang Yuexin could no longer hold back their dancing, twisting their bodies and screaming.
It can be seen that they were bitten by mosquitoes all over their bodies after being outside for a while, and now they are very itchy.
"Xiaoyu, this shouldn't be you who did it, right?" Wang Zhengliang's intuition told him that this was not the surprise prepared by Yu Yu.
Yu Yu shrugged. "Although I usually like to show my support to my brothers, I really didn't know this time. My father did it behind my back."
"Grand Duke Alaric?" Lu Hu's eyes widened. "Oh my God, we're going to meet your parents? I'm totally unprepared, what should I do?"
Yu Yu felt that this sounded a little wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it: "What's wrong with meeting the parents? Haven't our families met each other? You haven't met anyone from my family, except Fiona."
"No, you're wrong. We've met before, on the TV news." Su Xing corrected. When Grand Duke Alaric ascended the throne, they had occasionally seen photos online and had met each other unilaterally. The fat and seemingly kind Duke still had Yu Yu's shadow in his eyes.
"Right now, he probably just wants to meet you, to get to know his son's friends who have known him for most of his life. This year is also a good time, so you don't have to be too nervous."
Yu Yu sighed, but he didn't finish his words. The Duke's desire to meet his son's friends was naturally not just a simple desire to get to know them. He was just a little wary as a father and a superior.
Chen Fusheng noticed something. He pressed Yu Yu's shoulder, looked seriously into his blue eyes that were good at hiding their true colors, and said cryptically, "If you have any questions, Yu Yu, you can tell us directly."
Yu Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled again: "Problem? Of course there is no problem, Brother Sheng, don't think too much."
You were never the problem.
