Chapter 339 of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been edited!

It's okay, there's plenty of time.

……

During a break in filming, Xiao Chen received a call from Wang Jinhua.

Wang Jinhua's voice was so excited on the other end of the phone that it almost cracked.

"Xiao Chen! I've seen the preview footage of 'Empresses in the Palace'! It's going to be a hit! Absolutely a hit!"

"Your portrayal of the emperor was absolutely amazing!"

"You seem to have feelings for everyone, yet you also seem to love no one. You brought that coldness and suspicion of an emperor to life!" "Let me tell you, once this drama airs, you're guaranteed to capture the hearts of viewers of all ages!"

Xiao Chen listened quietly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Wang Jinhua has already begun planning the publicity and promotion.

"I've already discussed it with Director Zheng; the publicity will mainly focus on you as the 'most handsome Emperor Yongzheng in history'!"

"Let's release a batch of your dragon robe stills first; they'll absolutely blow the internet away!"

"Furthermore, CCTV has already finalized the deal for prime-time broadcast! Few artists in China have that kind of prestige!"

The online hype has already quietly begun.

Discussions about "Empresses in the Palace" and Xiao Chen are gaining momentum on various forums and Weibo.

[Ahhh! Chen Ge finally has a new drama! And it's a period drama! His dragon robe look is so handsome it's making me swoon!]

[CCTV prime time? Awesome! As expected of my Brother Chen, always at the top!]

[Director Zheng Xiaolong and Xiao Chen—what an amazing combination! My expectations are off the charts!]

[To the person upstairs: I'm only concerned about how many beauties Brother Chen will ruin this time (doge.jpg)]

[I heard that Chen Ge's character, the emperor, is very suspicious and scheming? Wow, I absolutely love this captivatingly eccentric and beautiful character!]

Hurry up! Hurry up! I've already got my stool ready, and I've got my sunflower seeds and soda ready!

From the fleeting appearance of Xiaodouzi in "Farewell My Concubine" to Jack in "Titanic," and now to the emperor, this is truly the pinnacle of a character's development!

Am I the only one who sensed a tragic undertone in the stills? The emperor seems to look at everyone with deep affection, yet his eyes hold a cold, lonely depth.

While netizens were discussing it enthusiastically, Xiao Chen subtly changed the subject.

"Aunt Hua, there's one more thing."

"For the wine from the village featured in 'Back to Field,' can you find a reliable team to handle the entire process, from brand design to online sales?"

"The money will come from my account."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by Wang Jinhua's helpless yet indulgent voice.

"Now that you know about my great actor, you're destined to worry."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure it's taken care of perfectly."

The week of filming was intense and fulfilling, and before we knew it, it was the weekend again.

When Xiao Chen returned to the Mushroom House, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Dilraba were already there.

A large sheet of white paper was spread out on a small table in the courtyard, and several people were discussing it enthusiastically.

Mei Yanfang pointed to a hand-drawn sketch.

"I think this bamboo pattern is good; it's elegant and has a noble character."

Leslie Cheung shook his head.

"This landscape painting is also quite good; it captures the essence of our place."

Dilraba, meanwhile, was holding a paintbrush and carefully sketching a cartoon little farmer wearing a straw hat, looking adorable.

When they saw Xiao Chen return, all three of them looked up, their faces beaming with undisguised smiles.

"Ah Chen, you're back just in time! Come and see what we think of these packaging designs!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the four of them didn't linger and went straight to find the village chief.

Xiao Chen laid out all their achievements for the week.

"Village chief, we have contacted a professional branding team that can help the village with packaging design and trademark registration free of charge."

"Online sales channels have also been initially established. Once the first batch of fermented rice is produced, it can be put on the shelves for sale directly."

He paused, then pointed to the drawing in Dilraba's hand.

"As for the packaging, we want the children in the village to hand-paint it."

"The packaging of each bottle is unique, which is both a selling point and a way for the children to express their love for their hometown."

The village chief, a man well past fifty, had tears welling up in his eyes as he listened.

He excitedly grasped Xiao Chen's hand, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Good...good children...you are all good children..."

The news spread like wildfire throughout the village.

The villagers' enthusiasm was completely ignited.

I heard that the guests are really working hard to promote the village's wine, and everyone is full of energy.

The children were organized to spread out their drawing paper on the village's threshing ground and freely depict their hometown in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, the Mushroom House was greeted with wave after wave of "feeding".

"These are freshly laid free-range eggs from our farm, for the kids to have some extra nutrition!"

"Our homemade cured pork smells so good, you can't find it like this in the city!"

"The vegetables were just picked from the field; they're still covered in dew!"

"The freshly made tofu is so tender!"

The villagers carried baskets and winnowing trays, piling all sorts of ingredients into the courtyard of the mushroom house.

Reba tried to stop her, but an auntie simply stuffed a basket of sweet potatoes into her arms and said happily.

"Take it! Don't push it!"

Then he turned and ran, as if he had completed some glorious task.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui were both amused and exasperated; they wanted to give them money.

But the villagers put the things down and didn't give them a chance to speak.

Before long, a small mountain of debris had been piled up in the yard.

Xiao Chen looked at the ingredients scattered all over the ground.

He glanced at the show's director, who looked utterly dejected, and a wicked smile crept across his face.

He casually walked up to a camera and spoke into the lens.

"Director, did you see that?"

"This is what the people want."

"This wasn't something we asked for; the villagers were just too enthusiastic, and we couldn't stop them."

The director's voice came through the walkie-talkie, tinged with despair.

"Xiao Chen! Don't go too far!"

"According to the rules, these should all be included in your living supplies!"

Xiao Chen casually picked up a winter melon that was bigger than Dilraba's head and weighed it in his hand.

"Okay, you can include it."

"However, we'll have to choose any of the ingredients for dinner from here."

"otherwise……"

He paused, his tone full of innocence.

"We had no choice but to reluctantly return all the good intentions of these villagers."

This is simply a naked threat.

The director was at his wit's end. Looking at Xiao Chen's seemingly harmless yet incredibly cunning face on the monitor, he gritted his teeth and gave in.

"...Okay! Today it is!"

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui exchanged a smile and shook their heads helplessly.

This Ah Chen is really becoming more and more like a little fox.

Xiao Chen didn't dawdle. After picking out the day's ingredients, he put on an apron and went into the kitchen.

The knife blade struck the cutting board with a crisp sound, the hot oil in the pan sizzled, and the rich aroma of the dish quickly filled the entire courtyard.

Everyone sat around the table, enjoying an extremely sumptuous dinner, their faces beaming with satisfied smiles.
