Chapter 162 Mr. Chen, Does Studying Hard Guarantee Success? (Please Subscribe!)

"Mom, what did you think of the movie?"

In a left-wing movie theater, Vivian Chow, who had just finished watching "The Devotion of Suspect X," looked expectantly at her mother.

"Yes, it's wonderful. I never thought that the leftists could make such a wonderful movie!" Zhou's mother nodded in surprise.

She is a single mother whose husband passed away from illness when their daughter was only a few months old. Since then, she has devoted all her energy to supporting her family and raising her daughter, and she has no time or energy to pay attention to movies.

The last time I watched a left-wing film was more than ten years ago, when it was "Liu Sanjie". Since then, I have heard many people around me say that left-wing films have been outdated for a long time.

This week is her birthday, and her daughter insisted on taking her to see a movie over the weekend. Not wanting to disappoint her daughter's filial piety, Zhou's mother agreed to accompany her to see "The Devotion of Suspect X".

It really gave her a big surprise!

“Happy birthday, Mom!” Vivian Chow then took out the gift she had prepared for her mother in advance.

When Zhou's mother saw how much effort her daughter had put in, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Meanwhile, in the same theater...

There are also three TVB trainees from this year.

They are Stephen Chow, Leung Chiu-wai, and Ng Chun-yu.

The three of them had also finished watching the movie, then looked at each other and exchanged a glance:
What are your thoughts after watching it?

"It's no wonder it won the Golden Bear; it's truly amazing."

"Yes, Mr. Chen is the mainland filmmaker I admire the most. His film certainly did not disappoint."

"Zhang Guorong's acting in this movie is also very good. It seems that the left wing is going to produce big stars... Huh, why is it so noisy?"

All three of them looked up at the same time, and saw that the characters in the movie had actually come out of the screen... no, they had walked in.

"Holy crap, Mr. Chan is in Hong Kong?!"

The three of them exchanged another glance, and each saw surprise and delight in the other's eyes.

The surprises and delights were equally overwhelming for Vivian Chow, her mother, and all the audience members in the theater.

“Mr. Chen! I’ve seen all your movies, I’m a big fan of yours.”

"Shi Hongzhe, you acted so well."

"Chen Jing, I've also seen you play Su Manqing."

"Mr. Chen..."

As soon as Chen Fusheng and the film's main cast walked in, they felt the overwhelming enthusiasm from everyone. He quickly went up on stage to take charge, otherwise what should have been a good thing would have turned into an accident.

"Was the movie good?" he asked, holding up the microphone.

The positive reviews I received were overwhelmingly positive.

He nodded and said again:

"Thank you, thank you everyone for supporting our film. Your support is our greatest motivation for creating."

"By the way, there might be some fans here who don't recognize me..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the crowd: "Yes, we all know him." "Who in Hong Kong wouldn't know Mr. Chan?" "..."

"Okay, even if you all know me, I still need to introduce myself. I am Chen Fusheng, the director of the movie you just watched."

"I just arrived in Hong Kong this morning. As soon as I arrived, I heard that the movie 'The Devotion of Suspect X' is very popular among our Hong Kong compatriots. I was very moved and grateful to hear that, so I immediately brought our film's creators to meet everyone. Luckily, we arrived in time. If we had been a minute later, you probably would have all left. So I think it's all fate. Don't you all agree?"

After receiving a positive response from everyone, Chen Fusheng knew that he had easily grasped the rhythm of the situation, so he continued:
"Now let's have our film's creative team say hello to everyone, let's give them a round of applause."

Wow!
Wow!
Zhang Guorong took the microphone from Chen Fusheng, stepped forward, and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Guorong. I play Shi Hongzhe in Director Chen's film 'The Devotion of Suspect X.' Also, I'm from Hong Kong. Before this, I've acted in movies and released albums. I guess some people here should recognize me..."

This round was just about introducing oneself, so the microphone was quickly handed over to the next person.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gong Xue. I play Chen Jing in Director Chen's film 'The Devotion of Suspect X.' When I came in just now, I heard someone say they'd seen me as Su Manqing. It seems they were viewers of 'Andhadhun,' which is also a film by Director Chen..."

"Hello uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, my name is Fu Mingxian. I play Lingling in Brother Chen's movie. I hope you all like it!"

After the main cast and crew members introduced themselves, they shared their acting experiences, their understanding of the characters, or gossip from the set. Before long, nearly twenty minutes had passed.

In order not to delay the normal operation of the cinema, this roadshow has come to an end.

"Alright friends, happy times always pass too quickly. In ten minutes, the next movie will be shown in this theater, so let's take one last group photo before saying goodbye."

When taking the group photo, Chen Fusheng recognized Vivian Chow because she and her mother were positioned relatively close to the front.

At that time, Vivian Chow was only a little over 14 years old. She looked very young and didn't know how to dress up, so she wasn't very eye-catching.

But Chen Fusheng knew she had great potential.
If Oriental Company had already opened a branch in Hong Kong by then, he might have been genuinely interested in signing her and training her.

Unfortunately, the company has not yet reached that stage.

"Mr. Chen, I'm a fan of yours. May I shake your hand?"

After the group photo, many audience members in the front row rushed to shake hands with Chen Fusheng one last time. To his surprise, Zhou Huimin also rushed up to him at some point.

"Of course, no problem. Judging from your appearance, you must still be a student. You should study hard so that you can have a bright future."

"Mr. Chen, does studying hard guarantee a successful future?" Zhou Huimin didn't know why she trusted Mr. Chen so much. She asked her biggest question as soon as they met, even though it was just a casual remark.

Then she glanced nervously in her mother's direction, as if worried about something, before quickly looking away and then looking expectantly at the person she admired.

Chen Fusheng originally intended to give a definite answer to this question without hesitation.

But when he saw Vivian Chow's earnest and eager eyes for a correct answer, he suddenly swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After thinking about it, he gave his answer:

“You have a very good image. If you feel that studying will not lead to a future, you may consider becoming an artist.”

Vivian Chow seemed to have been waiting for this answer, and suddenly smiled and said:

"I understand, thank you Mr. Chen. I will always be your fan. Also, my name is Vivian Chow!"

"Okay, Zhou Huimin, I wish you success in your studies."
