Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 339 Dinner Party
The next day, Yang Xiaomi kept looking at the watch until it was past four in the afternoon, and then she set off for Xingchen Entertainment.

This was something Chen Xi had specifically told him. Chen Xi's original words were, 'Director Zhang usually comes to the company at noon and leaves at night.' If you come to sign the contract at around five or six o'clock, which happens to be lunch time, you have an excuse to treat Director Zhang to a meal.

After Chen Xi said this, Yang Xiaomi immediately thought it was a good idea.

Although she has Chen Xi, it is still important for her to have a good relationship with Zhang Chen.

However, after arriving at the company, she found that things were somewhat different from what she had imagined.

As she expected, she came to sign the contract and accidentally met Zhang Chen. To express her gratitude, she invited Zhang Chen to dinner, and then they showed up at a nearby restaurant. Maybe they could even exercise together after dinner to deepen their relationship.

However, the reality is that when she arrived at the company, she found that there were a lot of people here.

There were people he knew inside.

"Teacher Zu Feng~" Seeing Zu Feng, Yang Xiaomi immediately went up to say hello.

This title is not just a courtesy, because Zu Feng is really a teacher, although he does not teach her.

Of course Zu Feng knew Yang Xiaomi and nodded.

Yang Xiaomi looked around at this time and found that Huang Xiaoming was also there, as well as Mr. Zhou, and a few other people she didn't know.

And Huang Xiaoming is speaking her lines.

"Director Zhang, we finally get to meet. Let's have dinner together tonight. I also want to talk to you about my understanding of Painted Skin~"

Ok?
Was this intercepted by someone?
She looked at Chen Xi anxiously, only to see him shaking his head slightly at her.

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, this is a special period. If I go out and get seen, I will definitely be interviewed..."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was not unwilling but had concerns, Huang Xiaoming immediately said: "Don't worry, Director Zhang, I know a private restaurant, the owner is my friend, if we go over there, I will ask him to clear the place, and I guarantee that we won't be disturbed~"

Huang Xiaoming was determined. Zhang Chen thought about it and finally said, "Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get together tonight. Let's go. Yang Xiaomi, you are here to sign the contract, right? Let's go too..."

Yang Xiaomi didn't know what to do, but when she heard Zhang Chen calling her, she immediately nodded obediently.

"Let's do business first, let's do business first~"

Since they had already agreed to have dinner in the evening, everyone went to sign the contract happily.

Yang Xiaomi is the last one, because she has the lowest status.

When it was her turn, she saw that there was no one around and was about to ask what was going on when Chen Xi spoke first.

"This bunch of cunning people..."

Chen Xi was amazed: "I was thinking of asking you to come later so that you could find an excuse to chat with Director Zhang, but I didn't expect that everyone had the same idea. Sigh, I can only say that everyone got together..."

After a pause, he continued, "Zu Feng is here to sign the contract, Huang Xiaoming is here with him, and Zhou Gongzi is an actor in Painted Skin. Today he came to visit Director Zhang. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky. With these people here, you will never have a chance to eat. It's not a loss to eat together now. At least you can get to know them..."

This time, Chen Xi has witnessed the strength of this group of elite people. They will not miss any opportunity.

After signing the contract, the group divided into several cars and headed to the private restaurant that Huang Xiaoming mentioned.

Huang Xiaoming had already informed everyone that the private restaurant would be closed today and not open to the public, and would only entertain Zhang Chen and his group.

At the door, the shop owner and a beautiful lady had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the car stop, they immediately came up to help open the door.

Huang Xiaoming got off the car and greeted people while introducing them to everyone.

"This is my friend. This restaurant belongs to him. If you like the food, you can come often. I can guarantee you absolute privacy."

When Huang Xiaoming was introducing them, his friend handed out business cards one by one and said, "Yes, yes, if you need to clear the place like today, just let me know in advance. It's absolutely no problem."

Being a celebrity affects many things you do, eating is one of them.

If you rashly appear in public places, it will easily cause congestion. Once you are recognized by fans, you will basically have no food to eat, and it will also affect your mood.

This kind of private dish that can clear the place just meets their needs.

After introducing the restaurant owner, Huang Xiaoming hugged another beautiful woman and said, "Director Zhang, this is my girlfriend Qin Lan. I had dinner with Director Zhang today, so I took the initiative to call her over so that she can get to know Director Zhang. She is also an actress, so if there is a suitable role in the future, she can think of us..."

After Huang Xiaoming introduced himself, Qin Lan immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Director Zhang, hello everyone, I am Qin Lan, Xiaoming's girlfriend."

Zhang Chen had noticed this person a long time ago. She had never been very popular in her previous life and only became famous because of her breakup with Huang Xiaoming.

She is really beautiful, but she has never starred in any particularly popular dramas. The most famous one she has is probably "My Fair Princess 3".

If she wasn't Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend, she would probably be an unknown person.

Zhang Chen only had two impressions of this woman in his memory. One was when Huang Xiaoming broke up with her, and the other was when she rejected the four proposals from the bad guy Lu Chuan.

"Ms. Qin, nice to meet you~"

Zhang Chen still remembers one thing. After he and Lu Chuan confirmed their relationship on "Nanjing Nanjing" in 09, when Lu Tailang wanted to film "The Banquet" in 12 but did not have enough money, Qin Lan actually took out her own savings to support him.

He is indeed a good person, but he is love-brained.

It was probably because of this incident that she saw through Rikutaro's true nature, which was why she rejected his proposals four times afterwards.

Not long after, Ning Hao and Cao Bingkun also arrived, and the group sat around a large table.

Some of these people I knew before, some I had never spoken to, but they were all well-known to each other. The ones with the least presence were probably Yang Xiaomi and Cao Bingkun.

But Cao Bingkun is different. Everyone knows that he is Zhang Chen’s good brother, so the only one who is embarrassed is Yang Xiaomi.

Everyone was chatting, but she couldn't get a word in and could only listen silently. It was a bit awkward!
However, this awkward situation was soon broken by Chen Xi: "Everyone, this is Yang Xiaomi, my best friend, who is still studying acting at Beijing Film Academy. In Painted Skin, she plays the role of the little fox. Teacher Xiao Ming and Mr. Zhou, please take good care of her. In Before the Dawn, she is the heroine. When the time comes, please ask Teacher Zu Feng to help her..."

"Easy to say, easy to say~"

"It turns out to be our junior sister..."

Most of the people present were from Beijing Film Academy, and they all started talking at once.

"Xiao Mi, why don't you toast everyone? Xiao Ming and Zhou Gongzi are the main actors in Painted Skin, and Zu Feng is in Before Dawn. He will be acting opposite you, so you can get to know each other in advance..."

"Okay, I'll toast to everyone. I hope that all the seniors and their mentors will give me guidance in the future..."

Yang Xiaomi stood up and toasted confidently, and her sheep-like voice easily left a deep impression on people.

Everyone responded loudly, and the atmosphere at the table became lively, but they also remembered the name Yang Xiaomi in their hearts.

Anyone who can be compared with the Chen Xi sisters will surely become very famous in the future.

After three rounds of drinks, we naturally started talking about movies.

Huang Xiaoming suddenly asked, "Director Zhang, I heard that you and Cheng Long are planning to collaborate on a new film?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."

Neither he nor Cheng Long had announced this matter to the public, and no one knew where Huang Xiaoming heard it from.

Huang Xiaoming chuckled, "I just heard someone mention it by accident~"

"We are planning to cooperate, but we haven't decided on the specific details yet. Oh, by the way, Haozi, do you want him to make a cameo appearance in your upcoming film "Racing"? "

Ning Hao was stunned: "Guest appearance? Cheng Long guest appearance?"

It does sound very tempting, "But what kind of guest role is it? There doesn't seem to be any suitable role..."

Zhang Chen also had a sudden idea and thought about it: "Can that Thai killer do it?"

In the locker room, the Thai killer moved between the cabinets, showing his powerful skills, which was not a problem for Cheng Long at all.

"Well... forget it... it feels a bit out of place."

Ning Hao thought about it for a long time and finally refused.

If Cheng Long joins in, his character will definitely have to be changed, after all, he doesn't look like a Thai.

But if you change your identity, many plots will have to change accordingly.

"Well, it's up to you. I just said it casually."

It is impossible to have a meal without drinking. Drinking will create a harmonious atmosphere.

Although Miss Zhou is a woman, she can drink quite a lot. Her smoky throat may have something to do with this.

Qin Lan, I’m from Northeast China. Is there anything that people from Northeast China can’t drink?

Huang Xiaoming was very active at the dinner table and took good care of everyone.

Qin Lan, like a little wife, sat quietly on the side helping Huang Xiaoming to pick up dishes.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and they really match each other perfectly in appearance.

Zhang Chen smiled and joked, "Xiao Ming, Painted Skin will start filming after the New Year in Yinchuan. You two won't be able to see each other for at least two months."

Before Huang Xiaoming could say anything, Qin Lan said, "It's okay. I'll visit the set as soon as I have nothing else to do."

"You two are such a loving couple~"

It can be seen that the two are now in their honeymoon period, and their every smile and frown is full of love.

"You have to treat her well~" Master Zhou obviously had a good impression of Qin Lan and temporarily acted as her in-laws' family.

Zhang Chen even wanted to say to him, if there is no major conflict, you two should just continue walking.

Compared with the two you found later, Qin Lan in front of you is really suitable for you.

After chatting for a while, Lao Cao complained about The Promise again: "It is said that the daily box office of The Promise has dropped to 10 million..."

When "The Promise" was first released, it was highly anticipated and the box office was incredibly high, reaching over 7500 million in the first week, breaking the record.

But then, as word of mouth spread, the quality of "The Promise" was gradually criticized and the box office plummeted.

After he said this, the scene suddenly became quiet for a moment.

It can be seen that everyone deliberately avoided mentioning this topic at first.

Huang Xiaoming and others are actors after all. Who knows, they might work with Director Chen someday. It would be bad to say bad things about them behind their backs.

What’s more, it was in front of another great director.

But after Cao Bingkun finished complaining, seeing that Zhang Chen seemed to have no reaction, everyone knew Zhang Chen's attitude.

Huang Xiaoming asked tentatively: "Director Zhang, have you watched The Promise?"
