Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 199 Fan Binbin and Xu Qing
The official part of the celebration banquet was over, and what remained was eating, drinking and networking.

Yang Xiaomi looked at Chen Xi with joy in her eyes: "Xiao Xi, is the spy movie that Director Zhang mentioned the one you told me about?"

Yang Xiaomi's eyes were full of expectation, but she noticed that Chen Xi's expression was not right. What did she realize immediately?
“It won’t be…” Yang Xiaomi couldn’t believe it. Could it be that her role was taken away by someone else again?
Who is it this time? Is it Liu Tianxian again? Or...

Yang Xiaomi unconsciously looked at Wang Luodan on the other side, who was following Chang Jihong and talking to Zhang Chen with a bright smile on his face.

Chen Xi said: "That's not the case, it's just that what I told you has nothing to do with this spy movie..."

"what?"

Yang Xiaomi was a little confused and said hesitantly: "Then..."

She wanted to ask what was going on, but looking at Chen Xi's expression, the other party seemed confused as well.

Chen Xi knew what her best friend was thinking and consoled her, "Don't think too much. The one I told you about is a costume drama. Director Zhang said it would be made into a series. You play a monster. I got it especially for you..."

"Monster?" The first thing Yang Xiaomi thought of was...

Chen Xi knew she would definitely think of something else: "A very beautiful one."

"Oh, Xiaoxi, you are so nice~" Yang Xiaomi hugged Chen Xi moved.

The latter patted Yang Xiaomi on the shoulder: "Of course, we are good friends~"

"As for today's spy film, I don't know what happened. Director Zhang never mentioned it. I think he just said it casually..."

"Oh~"

"Okay, don't think too much. I will definitely not let you be replaced this time. Come on, I'll take you to say hello to Director Zhang and deepen his impression..."

Yang Xiaomi nodded eagerly, lifted her chest deliberately, and then followed Chen Xi to find Zhang Chen.

After the interview session of the celebration banquet, all that was left was eating and drinking.

Zhang Chen suddenly became the focus. Many people came up with wine glasses to toast him. Wang Jinghua had just left when Chang Jihong came over from behind.

"Director Zhang is really a quick-witted person. What he said just now really made me feel relieved. I have long been fed up with the condescending attitude of those Hong Kong filmmakers."

Chang Jihong immediately praised Zhang Chen's behavior. After all, she was different from Wang Jinghua. Wang Jinghua had Hong Kong and Taiwan artists under her, but she did not.

"Sister Chang, thank you for the compliment. I was also pissed off just now~"

"Luo Dan has finally gained some fame through Black 2. I would like to thank Director Zhang for his support. I wonder if Director Zhang has time recently. Luo Dan would like to treat Director Zhang to a meal to express my gratitude."

Chang Jihong made the invitation with a smile, and Wang Luodan echoed him, behaving very well.

Zhang Chen waved his hands and refused with a smile: "Sister Chang, Miss Wang, don't be so polite. I'm just a small character this time, it's just a small favor. Forget about the meal, but I have something I want to trouble Sister Chang and Luo Dan for..."

"Oh? Director Zhang needs help from me? It would be my honor." Chang Jihong showed great interest.

In a circle, it is a good thing if someone is willing to bother you. You bother me and I bother you, and that’s how the relationship is established.

"I invested in a sitcom, which was filmed in Huairou. I wanted to find some celebrities to play guest roles in it, and then I thought of Sister Chang and Luo Dan..."

Chang Jihong smiled even more: "Director Zhang, you are too polite, you are not bothering me at all, you are giving me an opportunity.

Director Zhang is optimistic about the play, and he gave us a chance to show our faces for free. If we tell others about it, won’t everyone be scrambling to get their hands on it? Director Zhang thought of me, which is a recognition of my fame. I should thank Director Zhang.”

"Haha, Sister Chang, please stop flattering me. I'll take this as your agreement..."

"Of course I agree. Just let Director Zhang know when it's time. It's just a guest appearance. It won't take long anyway."

Seeing people looking over here, Chang Jihong immediately said, "Then I won't waste Director Zhang's time. If there is such an opportunity in the future, whether it is a movie or a TV series, please consider us..."

"Of course. Sister Wenli and Wang Luodan are both good actors. I will definitely look for you if there is a suitable role..."

Chang Jihong specifically mentioned movies, and the meaning is self-evident.

Zhang Chen was not stupid. He understood what she meant. She was just eyeing the role in the spy movie she mentioned.

But he certainly wouldn't give a definite answer now. In fact, he was just talking nonsense and he himself hadn't even decided what to shoot.

I was just mad and wanted to embarrass them!

What's wrong with the big Hollywood director? If you piss me off, I won't tolerate you!
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Chang Jihong left tactfully. Zhang Chen is now very popular, and she would be hated if she always monopolized him.

Chang Jihong and Wang Luodan left, and Chen Xi happened to bring Yang Xiaomi over, and the two groups connected seamlessly.

When passing by each other, Chen Xi and Chang Jihong greeted each other, but Yang Xiaomi and Wang Luodan behind them were like tit-for-tat, glaring at each other.

If eyes were weapons, the Earth would have been destroyed by now.

"Director Zhang, I told Yang Xiaomi that you reserved a role for her in Painted Skin, and she came here specially to thank you."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Yang Xiaomi immediately thanked him obediently: "Thank you Director Zhang for giving me this opportunity. I heard from Chen Xi that this role will run through the entire film, and I will definitely prepare well."

After listening to Yang Xiaomi's words, Zhang Chen touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "In fact, there was a problem with the "Painted Skin" project."

?

Now even Chen Xi was a little uneasy.

What the hell, I just boasted to my bestie ten minutes ago that I would definitely keep you safe, and now this is what happens?
"What happened to the project?"

"I went to see Mr. San yesterday. He felt that it might not be easy for Painted Skin to pass the review, and suggested that we wait..."

After hearing this, Chen Xi was speechless.

The review was a force majeure and there was nothing she could do about it.

And it was Han Sanping who said that. She looked at her best friend, not knowing how to comfort her. She just felt that Yang Xiaomi's luck was really bad.

Yang Xiaomi felt mixed emotions, and suddenly she learned an idiom, "ill-fated", but she still forced a smile: "No matter what, I still thank Director Zhang."

Zhang Chen nodded: "Let's see what happens. If we can start work in the near future, the role of the little bird spirit will still be yours..."

After all, Zhang Chen had promised Chen Xi, so he couldn't go back on his word.

Yang Xiaomi was already very satisfied to get Zhang Chen's promise.

Not far away, Fan Binbin came over with a wine glass.

When Chen Xi saw this scene, he consciously took Yang Xiaomi away.

Fan Binbin wore a long dress and had delicate makeup. She already looked like a queen in later generations and was very pleasing to the eye.

Walking closer, Sister Jiuyi said with a smile, "You are really popular. I don't know how many people have tried to get close to you in such a short time. I can't even find an opportunity to do so."

Zhang Chen smiled and touched his nose when he heard this: "Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Besides, do you still need to get close to me?"

The two had just spoken a few words when another beautiful figure walked towards them.

Sister Jiuyi knew that someone was coming to steal her business, because the person was Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's beauty is not the kind of stunning beauty. In terms of beauty, she is no match for Fan Xiaopang.

But she has a unique temperament, the temperament of a mature woman.

Intellectual, introverted, and with a hint of subtle charm.

Fan Jiuyi had no real evidence, but she was sure that something was wrong between Xu Qing and Zhang Chen.

"Binbin, you are so beautiful tonight~"

After Xu Qing came over, she didn't talk to Zhang Chen, but directly praised Fan Jiuyi.

"No way, Sister Qing is truly beautiful. I envy her for her temperament."

Sister Jiuyi immediately followed suit.

Zhang Chen stood nearby and could clearly hear two women praising each other, but he always felt a vague murderous aura lingering nearby.

Fortunately, at this moment a call suddenly came from the side. It was Feng Xiaogang who was calling him not far away.

"Uncle Feng~"

"Excuse me, you two~"

Zhang Chen felt as if he had been pardoned and hurried away with his glass of wine.

On Feng Xiaogang's side, Ge You and his companions smiled as they looked at Zhang Chen who was walking over and said, "How is it? Does the Shura Field feel bad?"

Zhang Chen did not try to hide it and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead: "Yeah, thank you Uncle Feng for saving my life."

Several old men nearby burst into laughter.

Director Chen looked at Zhang Chen in front of him with great interest.

That was how he felt about Zhang Chen before. Zhang Chen did have some talent, but he was not on the same level as him.

The reason for some contact was mostly because of Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang highly approves of this young man.

Moreover, his achievements are dazzling enough. At such a young age, before he even graduated, he has become one of the few billion-dollar directors in the country.

In fact, he achieved this achievement earlier than Feng Xiaogang.

The key point is that Feng Xiaogang is quite impressed by him.

Who is Feng Xiaogang? He is an old angry young man. Usually when he talks about other people, he is very angry and dissatisfied.

But he has a very good impression of Zhang Chen and often says that he is his little brother.

Plus, Zhang Guoli also recognized him, so Chen Daoming was quite curious.

Today, Zhang Chen's criticism of Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Yusen left a deep impression on me.

In fact, he has a very bad impression of these Hong Kong filmmakers.

There was no other reason, it was just because of a charity performance for disaster relief.

At that time, the organizer arranged for them to have dinner together. The restaurant waiter saw a first-line artist from Hong Kong and Taiwan and wanted to ask for his autograph.

The other party signed his English name.

The waiter wanted a Chinese one, but the other party bluntly said that he didn't know how to sign his Chinese name.

Chen Daoming was so angry that he left the scene immediately.

He feels that these Hong Kong stars have forgotten their roots.

Maybe it's because they have been working for foreigners for too long and they can't even get the most basic stance right.

When I heard Zhang Chen scolding them today, I suddenly felt refreshed, as if the anger that was pressing on my chest had been released.
