Chapter 401 Goodbye Mr. Motoyama
When Zhang Chen returned to the banquet hall again, few people around him noticed that he had left, as they had already gone crazy killing people.

Various kinds of wine and food~
When we were in the crew, we might have been divided into factions, and we might have been hostile to each other or even had small conflicts with each other. Now that the crew has been disbanded, the conflicts no longer exist and we are all good friends.

Chen Xi brought Zhang Chen's glass of wine over and handed it to him: "Why did it take so long?"

"Is it long?"

Zhang Chen looked at the watch. It was only over twenty minutes, definitely not more than half an hour. Was it long?

It's not that he can't do it, but when it comes to seeking excitement, it just can't last too long.

Those who have been doing it for a long time are all just bragging.

"Oh, I drank a little too much, so I took a break over there~"

Zhang Chen made up an excuse and Chen Xi believed it.

Zhang Chen followed Chen Xi in toasting, chatting and laughing with everyone, and drinking until the glasses were dry.

When Zhang Chen was toasting, Master Zhou also came back.

The two people's eyes met and then separated immediately, and no one could tell anything.

Indeed, art requires frequent communication, and the more you communicate, the more proficient you become.

There were no rules at this moment, everyone started fighting without restraint, and everyone's faces were red and their necks were thick from drinking.

Cheng Er held Zhang Chen's hand and kept repeating the same thing:

"Director Zhang, thank you for giving me the opportunity to get started..."

Look, these are some lewd words~
And I gave you the chance to get started?
Wu Shixian, who was standing beside him, supported him with a wry smile on his face.

He also drank a lot, but it was obvious that he could drink much better than Cheng Er.

"How much did you drink?"

"About 700-800 taels. Xiao Cheng is a true character. He must have a lot of emotions today~"

Zhang Chen understood.

Cheng Er is a newcomer, and newcomers are usually very affected by the atmosphere of the wrap-up party, after all, it’s a farewell.

The atmosphere was good, the wine was there, and I had been feeling quite emotional recently, so I drank too much without realizing it.

The veterans in the crew are very open-minded about this.

They have been through countless crews and have become accustomed to it.

Get drunk today and then look for a job tomorrow.

Zhang Chen was infected by the atmosphere and drank a few more glasses unconsciously. There were really too many people toasting him.

When everyone saw that Director Zhang would not refuse any toast from anyone, no matter who it was, they naturally wanted to come over and make themselves known to him.

I drank too much after this one drink.

I feel a little shaky when I walk.

"Alright, alright, Director Zhang has drunk quite a bit today, let's stop here, you guys continue, but don't let Director Zhang drink any more~"

Chen Xi is now addressed as Mr. Chen Xi, so of course his words are effective.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was really in poor condition, those who came over to toast him changed their targets to other people around him.

Anyway, the cup has been picked up and cannot be put down until the drink is finished.

Zhang Chen sat on a chair, and several female celebrities around him served him diligently like young wives, one helped wipe his sweat, and the other poured water for him.
Among them, Fan Xiaopang is the most diligent~
Young Master Zhou was watching from the side and she also wanted to help, but was blocked by Fat Fan.

Young Master Zhou could vaguely feel Fan Xiaopang’s hostility. She didn’t know where she had let herself go, but Fan Xiaopang must have known something.

Li Xiaoran stood beside her with a look of envy on her face.

Compared with the two female protagonists in front of her, her status is not worth mentioning.

She only plays the role of a maid, how can she be a big shot?

During the entire filming of "Painted Skin", she had some ideas, hoping to hug Zhang Chen's thick legs.

It’s just that this thick leg was protected too well by Fan Xiaopang, so she couldn’t find any chance at all.

It is the same now. Director Zhang is drunk and it is time for him to show his courtesy, but the seats around him are firmly occupied by Fatty Fan and he can't squeeze in at all.

"Xiao Zhang, go drive and take Director Zhang back. Li Xiaoran, help send him back~"

Happiness comes so quickly, Li Xiaoran was hit by the lucky fruit.

It's Chen Xi~
"Oh, okay, okay, President Chen Xi, I promise to take good care of Director Zhang~"

Li Xiaoran stood up with a look of joy on her face, then moved closer to Zhang Chen, ignoring Fan Xiaopang's dissatisfied look.

What are you looking at? I received an imperial decree.
When Fan Xiaopang saw Li Xiaoran's expression, she became more and more dissatisfied, but she did not dare to lose her temper with Chen Xi.

Chen Xi is the third in command of Xingchen Entertainment. Everyone in Xingchen Entertainment knows that the only person who can make Chen Xi happy is Yang Xiaomi.

Chen Xi never gives face to other artists.

Li Xiaoran and the driver Xiao Chen supported Zhang Chen and walked out. Fan Xiaopang was a little angry. Why was it Li Xiaoran?

Everyone knows the relationship between her and Zhang Chen, but why did Chen Xi still specifically ask Li Xiaoran to take care of Zhang Chen?

Chen Xi seemed not to notice Fan Xiaopang's dissatisfaction. Of course, she did it on purpose.

Some time ago, the Hong Kong media was unable to win the fight, so they started to smear and spread rumors, saying that Zhang Chen was gay.

Although Zhang Chen himself doesn't care, the company cannot help but care.

The image of the company leader is the image of the company, and the face of the company leader is the face of the company.

So she specially arranged for Li Xiaoran to help send people off today.

The media was well-informed, so she knew without having to guess that there must be paparazzi lurking outside the hotel at this moment.

She specifically arranged for Li Xiaoran to go out and be photographed by paparazzi.

Didn’t you say that Zhang Chen is gay? Then I will arrange two beauties to take photos for you and the rumors will be self-defeating.

Sure enough, outside the hotel, Zhang Chen and his group were photographed as soon as they appeared.

Although Zhang Chen drank a little too much, he was not yet unconscious.

"What should we do, Director Zhang? There are paparazzi taking pictures of us?"

The driver, Xiao Chen, used his body to block Zhang Chen while reporting the surrounding situation.

Zhang Chen muttered: "Don't worry about them, let's leave first~"

The three of them got on the car one by one.

Across the street, three paparazzi kept pressing the shutter button.

"Did you take the photo? Who is that woman?"

"I look like Li Xiaoran~"

"Yes, it's Li Xiaoran, haha, this is big news~"

The three of them talked excitedly while pressing the shutter buttons quickly.

The opportunity to make money is just a moment, it depends on whether you can seize it.

The car was driving at a constant speed and the paparazzi did not drive after it.

The driver Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the paparazzi in the mainland are not as crazy as those in Hong Kong.

He had read a report a while ago that paparazzi in Hong Kong extended their cameras out of the car and took pictures of celebrities' cars by sticking their cameras against the windows of their cars while they were driving.

It's crazy!
I feel that if you are not a special forces soldier, you can't be a paparazzi~
Seeing that the paparazzi did not follow him, Zhang Chen gradually felt relieved.

As the car was driving smoothly and the alcohol was rising, Zhang Chen's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he eventually fell asleep while lying down. However, he was not lying on the seat, but on Li Xiaoran's thigh.

Zhang Chen had a dream at night and felt himself being wrapped in warmth.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon. The person next to me seemed to be still asleep, but why were the eyelashes of the sleeping person trembling slightly?

So... Zhang Chen remembered a popular saying on the Internet: Some people have already gotten tired of the tree-lined path that you long for, but Zhang Chen hasn't, so he walked it again in the morning.

……

A few days later, Wangfu Private Kitchen

Today is the day when Zhang Chen invites Uncle Benshan to a banquet.

"Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" is about to be released, and Uncle Benshan came here specially to promote it. He just landed in Beijing this afternoon.

After Zhang Chen learned the news from Teacher Fu, he immediately contacted Zhao Benshan.

The last time they met was before the New Year. They had a drink together and became much closer.

We agreed that Zhang Chen would treat us and we would have another drink in a couple of days.

It was originally agreed upon, but due to the rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, the drink was never carried out and has been delayed until now.

"Teacher Benshan, I've finally got you here~"

As soon as they met, Zhang Chen said enthusiastically that there were few northerners who didn't like Zhao Benshan.

Zhao Benshan followed Fu Donglai in and clasped his hands together happily as soon as he entered the door.

Li Xiaoran, who was specially called by Zhang Chen to liven up the atmosphere, also smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Benshan, I am Li Xiaoran, I like you very much~"

Zhao Benshan smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you. Hey, Zhang Chen, why didn't you see Ning Hao this time~"

Zhang Chen smiled and asked everyone to sit down, then said: "That guy can't come today. He is still filming in Qingdao. It will probably take about a week to wrap up. I will arrange a meal for him when he comes back~"

"Okay, that guy is also quite interesting, I like him~"

They are all comedians and they like each other very much.

"You kid, you made quite a fuss the other day. I heard about it even when I was hiding in the Northeast..."

Zhao Benshan talked about his disturbance at the Academy Awards again. Zhang Chen smiled bitterly, "I didn't think about it at first. I just wanted to show my support for Liang Jiahui and Zhou Xun. But those guys went too far. They pointed at Liang Jiahui's nose and scolded him. What could I do?"

Zhao Benshan clapped his hands: "Yes, we men can't be cowardly. I have seen those Hong Kong people. They are indeed quite arrogant. Brother is too arrogant. When he donated money to the earthquake, the waiter wanted his Chinese autograph, but he refused to give it to him. He doesn't know how to eat~"

It sounds like Uncle Benshan has long been dissatisfied with the arrogance of Hong Kong actors.

"That's right. If you ask me, those guys deserve to be scolded. Look, I yelled at them a few times, and they became quiet. They are all bastards~"

"Puchi~" Li Xiaoran chuckled and contributed expression to the scene.

She also knew what her role was today and did not interrupt casually.

She was so happy that Zhang Chen could call her out today.

Does this mean that I will be Director Zhang’s close friend from now on?

She didn't ask to replace Fan Xiaopang, she would be satisfied if she could snatch some soup from him.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore..."

Teacher Fu felt that this topic was a bit sensitive, so Zhang Chen changed the subject.

"By the way, teacher, Uncle Benshan, I helped contact Super Interview yesterday, and they agreed to help with an episode. Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"

"Super Interview? That's great, of course, it has to be there~"

"Super Interview" is now a popular talk show, and the sharp styles of Li Jing and Dai Jun are very popular among young people.

Originally, it would be difficult for a theme like "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" to be included in such a program, but with Zhang Chen's help in mediation, people were still very considerate and were willing to do an episode to help promote it.

"But there is no fixed script. You need to improvise. Of course, if there are any particularly sharp questions, we will communicate with you in advance~"

Zhang Chen has participated in "Super Interview" several times and knows their format.

There will be communication in advance, but generally not completely following the script. Often, some questions beyond the scope will be asked when the mood strikes, and at this time it depends on the guest's ability to react.

According to Zhang Chen's estimation, it would be difficult for Teacher Fu to participate in such a program, after all, he has been serious for too long. But it doesn't matter, because we have Zhao Benshan.

With Uncle Benshan around, we will definitely be able to control the situation.

Other people can go on the Spring Festival Gala without bringing any props. He forgot to bring props during the Spring Festival Gala but still handled it calmly. He also did it easily on "Super Interview". Could his pressure be greater than that of the Spring Festival Gala?
The meal was a great pleasure for both hosts and guests. Everyone drank in moderation this time as they had an announcement the next morning.

At the entrance of the private restaurant, Zhang Chen saw the group off to the car.

"Boy, when we go to the Northeast, I will entertain you~"

"Of course, of course. Uncle Benshan, don't feel bad when the time comes."

"What a joke! You can pick any place in the entire Northeast~" Zhao Benshan replied domineeringly.

After watching them leave, the two got into their own car.

Li Xiaoran is still with him.

These two days, the two of them are inseparable.

Chen Xi also specifically instructed that one will know the taste once one has tasted it.

She asked Zhang Chen to create more scandals with Li Xiaoran in the next two days as a way of clarifying the matter indirectly. Otherwise, he would be branded as a gay, which might affect his acquisition of Golden Harvest.

Zhang Chen did as he was told. No matter how big the world was, it was not as big as his acquisition of Jiahe.

What's more, it's not without gain. At least several new ways of playing have been developed.

Zhang Chen and Li Xiaoran also got in the car. The driver Xiao Chen drove the car out of the private restaurant, and the paparazzi outside took pictures in time.

It was still those three paparazzi. After they took the photos that night, they sold them for a good price on the same day.

Having tasted the sweetness, the three of them naturally continued their efforts. Not satisfied with a single profit, they prepared to do a follow-up shoot and strive to make it into a TV series.

Today, they were photographed again, the two of them going out together and heading to a restaurant.

Unfortunately, it is a private restaurant and the paparazzi cannot get in, so they can only wait outside.

Sure enough, they captured it again.

When he went out, Zhang Chen didn't notice the paparazzi hiding there, but he knew there must be some.

Sure enough, the next day, a photo of Zhang Chen and Li Xiaoran coming out of a private restaurant together appeared in the news.

There have been a lot of gossips about Zhang Chen these days, mostly about him and actresses.

Li Xiaoran talked the most, followed by Fan Xiaopang. Even Zeng Li and Xu Qing were dug up in the past.

The media seems to have labeled Zhang Chen a playboy.

Of course the one who benefited the most was Li Xiaoran.

Chang Jihong has never liked hype, so the artists under her have never been very popular.

But it's different now.

Li Xiaoran became very popular in a short period of time and became the most popular artist under her.

The announcement fees have increased significantly, and there are more contacts for commercial performances.

There are just no decent works online, and I don’t know how much traffic will be left after this wave of traffic is consumed.

As for Hong Kong, they are hoping that other news will take away the attention of the Academy Awards.

Zhang Chen's scolding of Hong Kong artists at the Academy Awards made them really lose face.

Now that Zhang Chen’s character as a playboy has been accidentally exposed, these guys immediately gave money to the media and asked them to report the matter with all their might.

Although it might expose the dirty water they threw before, who cares? As long as we can reduce the impact of the previous incident, it will be a victory.

Just when everything was going according to Chen Xi's plan, Chen Xi called Zhang Chen's cell phone again.

"Did you instigate the quarrel between Han and Han?"

"What kind of verbal fight?"

"That's good. Han Han and a guy called Bai Ye are quarreling, and now they are quarreling fiercely. When you and Lu Chuan had a quarrel two years ago, these two people also participated. Han Han helped us, and Bai Ye was on Lu Tianming's side. Now they are quarreling again. Do you want to take sides?"
