"The soft evening breeze blew gently, and I felt calm and lonely..." In a driving car, Xu Chuan hummed softly and recorded the song he hummed on his mobile phone.
This is one of the habits he developed after traveling through time.
Because sometimes songs come to his mind that he wouldn't normally think of, but he can actually sing.
Many of Xu Chuan's songs are created this way.
Cai Meng, who was sitting next to him, had long been used to this scene. She could often hear some melodies from Xu Chuan's mouth that she had never heard before.
After a while, when Xu Chuan put down his phone, Cai Meng said with a smile: "Brother Chuan, what do you think if others knew you were humming like this in the car and wrote a song?"
"What do you have in mind? Maybe others write songs the same way as me."
"That's impossible. If writing songs was that easy, everyone would become singers." Cai Meng said in disbelief.
"Maybe songwriting is just that simple. You can write it if you are bored. If you write well, I will praise you as a singer." Xu Chuan joked.
"I'm a singer now, and I still have a masterpiece." Cai Meng heard Xu Chuan's joke and said deliberately shaking his head.
"Why don't I know when it happened?"
"When I was selling Little Yellow Duck, didn't I sing "Ride on My Beloved Little Motorcycle"? This song became a hit."
"Hahahahaha, yes, yes, it's true what you said." Xu Chuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Cai Meng couldn't hold it back and started laughing. After laughing for a while, she continued: "Brother Chuan, why did Zhang Zhixi come here so well? I feel like I'm not holding back any good intentions."
"Who knows, everyone is already here, so we have to let them come to visit the class." Xu Chuan shook his head after hearing this.
At this time, ten days have passed since Xu Chuan held a meeting at Lujiao Media.
In other words, it is now the 17th day of the first lunar month, and February 21st in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, Xu Chuan is naturally filming the scene of Old A with the crew of "Soldier Assault" in Yunnan.
It is worth mentioning that the filming progress is faster than expected. The filming tasks that were originally expected to be completed in mid-March now seem to be completed in early March. This is an unexpected surprise.
It was at this time that Zhang Zhixi suddenly called Xu Chuan and said that she had just come to Spring City. She heard that Xu Chuan was filming nearby and planned to come over to visit the class.
Speaking of which, Xu Chuan and Zhang Zhixi have never met each other except for the last time they met at the "Chinese Drama Ceremony".
The only interaction between the two after that was probably during the Chinese New Year and holidays, when they would send each other messages to greet each other, and that was it.
Therefore, it was really strange for Zhang Zhixi to suddenly say that she wanted to come over to visit the class.
But again, she is here, no matter how strange Xu Chuan is, he has to pick her up in person. After all, Zhang Zhixi is a serious domestic entertainment first-line actress.
Of course, the most important thing is that the shooting location of "Soldier Assault" is quite special.
If Zhang Zhixi wants to go in, she really has to be led by Xu Chuan.
In this way, about an hour after coming out of the crew, Xu Chuan and Cai Meng stood at the door of Zhang Zhixi's hotel room.
After Cai Meng knocked on the door, the door was quickly opened by Zhang Zhixi's assistant.
Speaking of this assistant, he is actually an acquaintance.
At that time, Zhang Zhixi vowed to say something in front of Xu Chuan. Her assistant was a big fan of Xu Chuan.
At that time, Xu Chuan suspected that she was talking nonsense, and now he was even more sure that his original suspicion was correct.
Because this assistant who claims to be his biggest fan now sees him standing at the door, with a professional and polite smile on his face. He looked completely different from the last time he saw him.
But it didn't matter, Xu Chuan didn't think about exposing anything, he just knew some things in his heart.
After entering the room, Xu Chuan quickly scanned the room and realized that apart from the assistant, there was only Zhang Zhixi in the room.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Zhixi only brought her assistant this time. The rest of her staff are probably in other rooms.
"Teacher Xu, long time no see, have you missed me?" Zhang Zhixi was originally sitting on the sofa. When she saw Xu Chuan come in, she immediately got up and walked towards Xu Chuan.
After saying that, he took the initiative to give Xu Chuan a hug.
A faint fragrance came along with two soft touches, which made Xu Chuan's chest shrink back unconsciously. After a little hug, Xu Chuan quickly straightened up.
Zhang Zhixi could naturally feel Xu Chuan's movements. She smiled and said, "Sit, sit wherever you want. You came just after I took a shower. It's quite a coincidence."
When Xu Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but take a look at Zhang Zhixi's outfit at this time. She was wearing a white bathrobe like the one in the hotel.
I don't know if I'm wearing anything inside, but if I move around, it's probably going to be exposed.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan walked to the window, looked out the window and said, "This hotel is good, it's a good place to see the scenery."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhixi also stood next to Xu Chuan, looked out the window and said, "The night view is even more beautiful. I sat by the window and watched it for a long time last night."
After hearing this, Xu Chuan still looked out the window and asked, "I forgot to ask, what is Teacher Zhang doing in Chuncheng?"
"What else can I be busy with? I cut the ribbon for a real estate project yesterday, so it's not a big deal." Zhang Zhixi said with a smile. Ribbon-cutting is a kind of acupuncture. For an artist of Zhang Zhixi's level, the price of ribbon-cutting is not cheap.
After saying this, Zhang Zhixi continued: "What about you, is everything going well with the crew?"
"It went well before, but not so much today." Xu Chuan said casually.
"What's going on?" Zhang Zhixi was stunned when he heard this.
"As soon as those people in the crew heard that you were going to visit the cast, they didn't think about filming. They were just thinking about watching the goddess." Xu Chuan continued to talk nonsense.
The purpose of his nonsense was naturally to urge Zhang Zhixi to leave quickly and stop chatting.
"Hehehehehe~~" But after Zhang Zhixi heard Xu Chuan's nonsense, she immediately showed her iconic mouth-covering smile.
Seeing her smiling like this, the corners of Xu Chuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
You laugh so much that the collar of your bathrobe can no longer cover your key points.
"Teacher Xu, you have such a sweet mouth, did you get it from coaxing girls every day?" After laughing for a while, Zhang Zhixi said to Xu Chuan.
"No, no." Xu Chuan laughed dryly when he heard this, and then quickly changed the subject and said, "What about that, Teacher Zhang, why don't we keep your fans waiting."
"Okay, then you wait for me to clean up." Zhang Zhixi said and instinctively looked down at herself.
After seeing her collar being laughed at, she didn't do anything shy. Instead, she tightened her bathrobe very naturally in front of Xu Chuan.
While tightening her bathrobe, she blinked at Xu Chuan.
This seductive action made Xu Chuan feel a little wary.
However, although he was wary in his heart, he still smiled as usual and said, "Okay, my assistant and I will wait for you in the car."
"How long do you have to wait in the car? I'm still putting on makeup, so you can sit here with peace of mind." Zhang Zhixi said and directly pulled Xu Chuan to the sofa and sat down.
Then she said to her assistant: "Just in time, you and the executive broker go to buy some things for the visit. You need to have food and drink."
After giving these instructions, Zhang Zhixi said to Xu Chuan who was sitting on the sofa: "Can you put the things in your car? Why don't you trouble your assistant to accompany my assistant?"
Cai Meng could naturally see such an obvious action of pushing someone away, so after hearing Zhang Zhixi's words, she turned to look at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Cai Meng, "Go and help."
"Okay." Cai Meng nodded, and then went out with Zhang Zhixi's assistant.
After the two of them went out, Zhang Zhixi sat next to the makeup table and started to apply makeup on herself and said, "We are the only ones left now, aren't you afraid?"
"This sounds new to me." Xu Chuan said while sitting on the sofa and looking at Zhang Zhixi's gourd-like back.
After finishing speaking, before Zhang Zhixi could reply, Xu Chuan continued to ask: "I thought that A-list stars like you have their own makeup artists for their makeup."
"I did bring a makeup artist, but I just let them go and have fun. It's a rare trip to Yunnan, so it doesn't matter if they are always by my side." Zhang Zhixi said and began to pat her face.
After saying this, she continued: "Speaking of which, the last time I came to Yunnan was six years ago. The first thing I felt when I came here was that the air here is extremely fresh and the environment is really good."
Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not answer, waiting for Zhang Zhixi's next words.
"Unfortunately, when I come here this time, I can clearly feel that the environment here is not as good as before. The sky is not as blue as before, the mountains are not as green as before, and the air is much filthy than before." Zhang Zhixi said with a trace of compassion on his face. look.
With this expression of compassion, she turned her head and looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Have you been to Yunnan before?"
"No, just come here during filming." Xu Chuan shook his head.
"That's such a pity that you didn't get to see the most beautiful scenery here." Zhang Zhixi showed a hint of regret when he heard this.
Xu Chuan listened to Zhang Zhixi's strange words, thought for a while and then said with a smile: "Does Teacher Zhang care about environmental protection?"
"Of course, Teacher Xu, you may not know that I am one of the global environmental ambassadors of the International Federation for Forest Conservation." Zhang Zhixi said with a proud tone.
"Global Environmental Protection Ambassador, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xu Chuan immediately laughed after hearing this. Thanks to his experience on earth, Xu Chuan looked at these organizations and saw nothing different from shit.
But Zhang Zhixi didn't know what Xu Chuan was thinking. She thought Xu Chuan was intimidated by her name.
So Zhang Zhixi pretended to be modest and smiled: "Oh, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, whether it is an ambassador or an ordinary member, as long as we start from every little thing around us, it will all contribute to environmental protection, don't you think?" .”
"Tsk...Teacher Zhang's awareness is quite high." Xu Chuan clicked his tongue.
"I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't been able to fulfill my duties as an environmental ambassador. At least until now, I still haven't been able to persuade enough people not to eat meat." Zhang Zhixi shook her head.
"Ah? Don't want to eat meat?" When Xu Chuan heard this, a bunch of things immediately came to his mind.
“Did you know that raising livestock and poultry accounts for more than 14.5% of global greenhouse gases, so eating meat will increase carbon emissions and intensify the earth’s greenhouse effect.
Our country, China, is the world's largest meat consumer. If we eat more meat, the world will be warmer. Do you know how many wildfires there are in the world now because of global warming?
Do you know how many forests these wildfires will burn and how many small animals will be left homeless? All of this is actually inseparable from our eating meat.
Therefore, we must eat less meat, preferably no meat, in order to protect the environment. "Zhang Zhixi stopped putting on makeup and turned to look at Xu Chuan and said seriously.
While Xu Chuan listened to these familiar words, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhixi.
He just wanted to see if Zhang Zhixi believed what she said.
At the moment, it’s still a bit unclear.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan asked deliberately: "What if someone really can't eat without meat?"
"It doesn't matter, you can eat plant-based meat. Now the big technology companies in the United States are studying this and have produced results. The texture and taste are no different from real meat.
If we don’t talk about technology changing our lives, those companies in the United States have invested so much money in research on this just to solve our problem of wanting to eat meat.
Sometimes I have to lament that their structure is indeed the light of humanity. "Zhang Zhixi still looked at Xu Chuan with a serious expression and said.
"The light of humanity...ha." Xu Chuan really wanted to spit on Zhang Zhixi's face, but he held back.
Because Xu Chuan is now full of other things.
He remembered very clearly that starting from this time in 2019, there suddenly appeared a lot of things criticizing our country’s meat-eating.
At that time, relevant advertisements could be seen in subway stations, bus stations, and around major business districts.
There are many advertising slogans, and Xu Chuan can still remember some of them, such as "Less meat is my food", "Eat less meat, more longevity", "Change the world with every bite, vegetables, #我新pickyism" #", "Eat less meat and be a good role model for your children" and so on.
These are the slogans of print ads, and the slogans of video ads are similar to what Zhang Zhixi just said. Meat farming consumes water and so on, and damages the environment a lot.
Xu Chuan, the artist who endorsed this advertisement, also remembers Zhang Junmi, Zheng Kai, Huang Xuan and Huang Lei.
Of these four, except for Huang Xuan, who may be considered a vegetarian lover, the other three can be said to be lovers of all kinds of meat. You don't know how they have the nerve to say this.
Later, some ghosts and monsters appeared one after another, the most famous of which was Paperclip.
During that time, a lot of celebrities in the entertainment industry came out to persuade everyone to go vegetarian and eat artificial meat. The most well-known ones were Zhang Jingchu and Tao Hong.
Not only that, they also made a documentary called "Vegetarian" in an attempt to wash everyone's brains. This situation lasted until the beginning of 2022, when it finally subsided.
The direction of attack has also changed from eating meat and damaging the environment to the issue of food additives.
In the room, Xu Chuan thought for a while and then continued to ask: "Teacher Zhang, do you usually eat a lot of meat?"
"It is gradually decreasing." Zhang Zhixi did not directly answer Xu Chuan's question.
"Oh, do you think eating meat is bad?" Xu Chuan asked.
"Otherwise, eating meat is not good for the environment on the one hand, and bad for the body on the other. Do you think eating meat is a good thing?"
"Oh, that's not the case." Xu Chuan shook his head after hearing this, and then continued to test, "Are you ready to convey this concept to the public?"
"That's for sure. Speaking of this, I wonder if Teacher Xu is interested in making a contribution to the cause of environmental protection and the dietary health of our society?" Zhang Zhixi said along the pole.
"How to contribute?" Xu Chuan asked deliberately.
"We, the International Federation for Forest Conservation, are planning to shoot a set of public service advertisements recently. You can come and be our public welfare spokesperson, and together we can convey the concepts of environmental protection and health to the people of our country." Zhang Zhixi quickly introduced to Xu Chuan.
Before Xu Chuan could answer, Zhang Zhixi said, "Teacher Xu, I remember that when you attended the Suzhou TV New Year's Eve concert, you had some public opinion conflicts with some Korean artists on the Internet.
Many people say that you have no international influence and are inherently inferior to those two Korean idol groups. To be honest, when I saw these public opinions, I felt very uncomfortable.
You can be regarded as the leader of our young generation of domestic entertainment, just because your debut time is shorter. You don’t have international influence now, but there’s no guarantee you won’t have it in the future. "
When Xu Chuan heard this, he asked calmly: "Teacher Zhang, your environmental protection organization must be very influential internationally."
"I can only tell you this. We are an environmental organization supported by the United States. You don't have to worry about influence. Last time, I went to Africa with the organization. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will call you together.
We can work together to make our contribution to the international environmental protection cause. In this way, no one will be able to judge your international influence in the future. "Zhang Zhixi said with a smile.
When Xu Chuan heard this, his eyes blinked several times quickly.
At that time, he suspected that there was something strange about the public opinion on the Internet that suddenly insisted on his "lack of international influence".
Now it seems that this is a set of combination punches.
In addition, Du Wenyu's boss Zhang Shiliang wanted Du Wenyu to drag him to some private party at the beginning.
Now that I think about it, these people are planning to make themselves public officials.
I don’t know how many “first-line female stars” like Zhang Zhixi there are in Blue Star’s entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan continued to ask: "Teacher Zhang, who else did you find for this public service announcement you just mentioned? If there are too many people, it will be difficult for me to excel, don't you think?"
When Zhang Zhixi heard this, she thought Xu Chuan had taken the bait, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
I saw her say: "There are not many people, only seven or eight. Don't worry, you are the only male artist of your age."
"Can you tell me something?" Xu Chuan asked quickly after hearing this.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, just to put your mind at ease." After Zhang Zhixi finished speaking, he gave Xu Chuan a bunch of names.
After Xu Chuan listened and silently wrote down the name, he asked again: "Does our advertisement cover a wide range? Subway stations, bus stations, and high-speed rail stations cannot be ignored."
"Don't worry, this time in order to support environmental protection and convey a healthy diet concept to people in our country, the funds are very sufficient. The advertising coverage must be wider than you think." Zhang Zhixi said proudly.
"Oh, it's amazing. When will it come? You know we in this industry have to plan our time in advance." Xu Chuan continued to ask.
"Around April, because I will be 51 soon, people will eat a lot more meat when traveling. I would like to advise everyone not to eat meat when traveling, but to eat vegetarian and plant-based meat as much as possible to travel healthily." Zhang Zhixi said.
"I understand." Xu Chuan nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
After communicating at this point, Xu Chuan no longer wanted to talk to Zhang Zhixi. He even didn't want Zhang Zhixi to join the crew of "Soldier Assault".
It should be said or not, Zhang Zhixi seemed to think so too. Seeing that the communication was so smooth, she seemed a little reluctant to waste time going to some bullshit class.
