Soon, the dishes were served. There were all kinds of them, all with Northeastern specialties, such as stir-fried pork slices, sweet and sour pork, which need no further explanation, stewed fish, and various kinds of seafood.

"Xiao Jiang, hurry up and try it." Zhao Shan urged, "The guests should pick up their chopsticks first."

Jiang Yu nodded and tried each dish. They were really good.

"Would you like a drink?" Zhao Shan had already opened the glass of wine.

"Teacher Zhao, let's not drink. I'm not very good at drinking. Let's just have a good chat."

"Okay, then let's have a good chat." Zhao Shan put down the wine again: "Ah, I still remember the first time we met. At that time, you had not yet been involved in the film industry and were suppressed by others. I didn't expect that in just a few years, you have become such a powerful person."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "At that time, I was just a young man who offended people all the time. It was normal for me to be suppressed. I am lucky to be where I am today. The rest is due to the care of some seniors in the circle. I can get to where I am today."

"That's a bit self-deprecating. You deserve to be where you are today because of your own efforts. Without your efforts and your talent, no matter how much others help you, you won't be where you are today."

"Hahaha, thank you Teacher Zhao for the compliment." Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Teacher Zhao, are you trying to get me drunk? You're praising me like that, and I feel embarrassed."

"These are all from the bottom of my heart." Zhao Shan smiled.

After this conversation, the scene fell into a very awkward atmosphere.

About two minutes.

Two voices rang out.

Jiang Yu (Zhao Shan): Teacher Zhao (Xiao Jiang), actually I came here today because I have something to tell you.

They both spoke at the same time.

The two people who were in sync were stunned, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Xiao Jiang, tell me your story first."

"Teacher Zhao, you should speak first. You are a senior in the circle, so it is not appropriate for me to speak first."

"Then let me go first." Zhao Shan smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, I have been thinking for a long time whether I should ask Xiao Bao to find you. I didn't expect you to come here today. So I won't be polite and will tell you directly."

"Teacher Zhao, please just tell me what happened. It sounds so serious." Jiang Yu said hurriedly.

"It's actually like this." Zhao Benshan said, "In recent years, the revenue of our Benshan Grand Stage has been decreasing. Before, it was supported by me and Xiaobao, but now..."

"As for me, I'm old now. I can't jump around on the big stage like those young people did before. As for Xiaobao, it's not appropriate for him to stay on the stage now. First, he has a huge fan base. If he does this, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the big stage. Second, he has other more important work now, such as filming movies, appearing on variety shows, etc. He doesn't have time."

"The reason why it turned out like this is because I couldn't bring out other people who could hold the scene, which led to this result. I thought I still had to bring up someone, so I came to ask you today to see how to bring up someone more appropriately."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows: "There are generally only a few ways to promote someone, variety shows, TV dramas, movies, and they appear frequently in front of the audience!"

Zhao Shan kept thinking: "With their status, they can only appear in variety shows that don't get much attention, which is meaningless. As for movies, they don't have enough box office. No one will invite them to star in a movie because the investment cost is too high. TV series is the best way."

"That's right." Jiang Yu smiled.

"But what kind of TV series should we shoot? Nowadays, TV series are all about handsome men and beautiful women, which is not good for them.

"Why would you want to shoot a TV series that you are not good at?" Jiang Yu said, "Shooting such an inappropriate TV series is just a waste of money."

“So what’s the shoot like?”

"The biggest feature of your place is the original rural life in Northeast China. Why don't you make TV dramas with this theme?"

"Rural area in Northeast China?" Zhao Shan looked confused.

"Yes, it's the rural area in Northeast China." Jiang Yu said with certainty.

"There won't be many people reading this kind of story, right?" Zhao Shan said, "This story is too difficult to write."

"You don't have to worry about that." Jiang Yu smiled slightly: "Isn't there a golden screenwriter sitting here? If you are willing, our two companies can work together. I will write the script and will not interfere in anything. How about just taking a share of the profits?"

Zhao Shan's eyes lit up: "Xiao Jiang, are you serious? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course it's true. You can come anytime if you want." Jiang Yu smiled, "But it will have to be postponed. I've been a bit busy lately, so it may have to be postponed until after the New Year."

"Hahaha, I know. With your current fame, you must have a lot of work. I saw your filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes before, and it was so great. You should be filming The Return of the Condor Heroes now, right? I can't wait."

"'The Return of the Condor Heroes' is indeed being filmed, but my scenes have already been filmed. My current job is more important than this TV series, which is the main reason why I came to see you this time."

"The main reason for looking for me?" Zhao Shan frowned. "What's your current job?"

Jiang Yu looked at him and smiled: "Teacher Zhao Shan, I am now the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. On behalf of the entire Spring Festival Gala program team, I extend an invitation to you. Can you accept the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala again after more than ten years and step onto the stage that only appears once a year?"

When these words were spoken, everyone except Song Xiaobao was stunned.

Since Song Xiaobao knew it in advance, his mood didn't change much.

Zhao Shan's eyes widened: "Wait a minute, you said, you are the director of the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Yes." Jiang Yu smiled and said, "That's why I want to invite you to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage again."

Zhao Shan slowly recovered from his shock, his eyes were a little complicated, and then he sighed: "Xiao Jiang, logically speaking, I should give you face, but you also know that the Spring Festival Gala director team and I have a big conflict. Because of this conflict, I have already announced that I will no longer participate in the Spring Festival Gala. Even if I go, you will be greatly hindered in the Spring Festival Gala."

"I know." Jiang Yu said, "So, before I invite you again, I have already removed all the obstacles."

Seeing Zhao Benshan's surprised and puzzled expression, Jiang Yu slowly spoke.

"Ha Wen, I have kicked you out of the Spring Festival Gala director team."
