Amid the laughter of the reporters, Zhao Yongqi took the fruit platter in front of him and picked two grapes from it with a smile.

Holding the grapes in his palm, he smiled at the reporter who asked the question. Zhao Yongqi threw the grapes into his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Someone asked me which grapes are delicious, I will tell him that they are actually quite delicious. However, I am stupid and I really can't tell which one is better." As he said that, he spread his hands helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.

The reporter who asked the question was stunned, then smiled and began to applaud, and soon the applause formed a very perfect answer. The originally sharp question was given by Zhao Yongqi's clever answer.

Obviously, the queen and the imperial concubine sitting next to the "Emperor" were also satisfied with the answer, and just smiled and applauded gently.

Zhao Yongqi is proud, so there will be someone who feels like he is on pins and pins. The other supporting roles are fine, and he never thought of winning the position of the star, but Liu Wei's feeling is not very good. However, he is obviously much smarter than a reckless man like Jin Dongxian. Although he has been posing a face since he came in, as if everyone owed him millions, he was originally in this style, so he did not cause any misunderstandings.

Finally, at the end of the one and a half hours of press conference, Liu Wei was asked what he thought about playing with Zhao Yongqi, and no one asked any questions, which made his face more stern.

As for Zhao Yongqi, he didn't pay attention to Liu Wei sitting in the distance. For him, instead of spending his energy to pay attention to such people, it would be better to think more about how to deal with the reporters' weird problems.

After the press conference, there were naturally media entertaining the cocktail party, which was basically normal etiquette. Without the pressure of the camera, both the reporters and Zhao Yongqi and others were much more relaxed. Although there were still many reporters asking some questions around Zhao Yongqi, they were all messy gossiping problems, which made Zhao Yongqi exhausted and suffered a lot.

However, in this case, whether it is Xu Wenwei, Qian Qiming, the producer, or the investor, they are happy to see it. This 50-episode costume drama has an investment of up to 550 million, with an average of up to 1,100 million per episode. Compared with the Three Kingdoms, which only has less than 2 million per episode, it is simply a shocking masterpiece. It is said that the costume drama alone is up to 70 million, which is the largest investment in the costume drama since the emergence of TV media in China.

By the way, Zi Ye followed Qian Qiming's advice and spoke to the producer Lion and directly offered three million yuan per episode, which scared the producer almost in shock. Finally, after asking for a lot of prices and returning the money, the producer gave Zhao Yongqi a price of 1.5 million yuan per episode to bear all the taxes, which was considered to have won the contract. Calculated carefully, it was almost equivalent to giving Zhao Yongqi a pay of 1.8 million yuan per episode. Although he felt so painful, it was almost half less than the previous three million yuan, which was also a comfort.

In comparison, Xiao Baozi's pay is pitifully low, only 300,000 yuan per episode, and she still needs to file her own taxes. It's about 30 episodes, but after removing personal income tax, it's only 700,000 yuan. However, this has already made Xiao Baozi so shocked that she almost jumped up after getting the news from Zi Ye. You know, she worked so hard that she had only 600,000 yuan in movies for half a year before.

No matter what, Zhao Yongqi, who had no idea about money, just left it behind after listening to it, while Xiao Baozi pondered the characters more carefully. It was always a joy to everyone if they wanted to deserve the pay.

After the opening ceremony of the first day was completed, the crew officially started. They were already in the capital, and started directly from the Forbidden City, and filmed some trailers with the background of the imperial city. This stay lasted fifteen days.

What made Zhao Yongqi happy was that in addition to the staff sent by some senior executives and producers in the entire crew, almost all of them were crew members of the Three Kingdoms. Among the crews with thousands of people, almost most of them were "old friends" that Zhao Yongqi knew, which made him feel very relaxed. On the other hand, the crew this time was not as nervous as before the Three Kingdoms filming. Although there were still his trailers every day, there were only two or three shows, and there were often only one show, so naturally there were more opportunities for him to fish.

So, Brother Qi, who is not a good job, began to act as a temporary venue again. Every day, he watched a lot of lunch boxes running in and out, or he would work hard with the staff who built the set, which was also a beautiful scenery in the crew.

Half a month later, the crew will leave the capital as a whole and go to Dunhuang, Guazhou and other places in GS Province, where they will mainly shoot large scenes such as field battles, and will also be the longest stay for the entire crew. According to Xu Wenwei, it will take at least three months.

Zhao Yongqi, who came to the northwest for the first time, was really uncomfortable with the dry climate here. In addition, it was already May, and the climate began to get hotter and hotter, making people feel even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, both him and Xiao Baozi were considered people with strong adaptability. After two or three days, they gradually began to get used to it.

...

The crew's shooting base in Dunhuang is in the suburbs of Dunhuang City, about half an hour's drive from the city, which is a relatively remote location. However, because a large crew of five or six thousand people suddenly entered, ordinary people nearby also smelled business opportunities. Although the crew strictly prohibited idle people from entering and leaving, it did not prevent them from setting up stalls outside the crew. Various local snacks and some small daily necessities vendors appeared around the crew soon.

At noon that day, it was already the fifth day that Zhao Yongqi came to Dunhuang. He was bored, and as usual, dragged a huge black plastic bag, thinking about walking out of the garbage dump outside the crew. The plastic bag was naturally filled with the lunch box that the crew wanted to discard.

He threw two plastic bags into the garbage dump, turned around and returned to the crew, dragged two more Zhao Yongqi out. As soon as he walked back to the garbage dump, he found a thin figure who was flirting with the garbage dump.

When he saw Zhao Yongqi coming, the little beggar who looked thirteen or fourteen years old and just reached Zhao Yongqi's chest seemed to be shocked. He held a few lunch boxes containing messy leftovers and ran to the distance.

Looking at the child, he ran a few steps and looked back, and looked cramped, Zhao Yongqi sighed softly, without thinking too much, and turned around and left after throwing the garbage bag. Although the country is getting richer and richer, there are many poor children. GS itself is a relatively backward northwest region, so there are naturally more such children than the southeast coast.
