I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"it is good."

Seeing Li Xiaoran's expression, Cheng Sheng had no choice but to agree.

"Thank you, Cheng Sheng."

Li Xiaoran expressed her gratitude with joy upon hearing this.

"Xiaoran, congratulations."

"Sister Ya, congratulations to you too."

The two raised their glasses.

Cheng Sheng shook his head at the two women's happy expressions, picked up a glass of water, and said, "I congratulate you too."

……

While Cheng Sheng and his two companions were having dinner at the hotel, two reporters had already posted the news of their interview online.

The news went viral in less than half an hour, becoming the subject of discussion across the internet.

Good heavens, Hollywood is even more chaotic than China.

Cheng Sheng is right. Hollywood is rife with discrimination. So many big names from China go to Hollywood to try their luck, but who can actually establish themselves there?

Cheng Sheng was more clear-headed; he saw the dark side of Hollywood perfectly clearly.

[Hollywood, I think it should be "Hollywood Dirty" instead.]

[Hehe, the person upstairs is right, it's just that Hollywood is 'dirty,' I don't know why so many people in China want to go there.]

[That's right. I studied in the US myself, and the situation here is much worse than in China. You have to be careful about your safety at all times, and you don't dare go out at night, otherwise you might get shot and die without even knowing how.]

The person upstairs is right. The situation in the US is really bad. Security is nowhere near that of China, and many Americans view hardworking Chinese people as "rule breakers."

[A sober mind—Cheng Sheng.]

Cheng Sheng understood this point, which is why he was disappointed with Hollywood.

No wonder Cheng Sheng didn't want to develop his career in Hollywood; it turns out it's not a paradise for filmmakers at all.

[I wonder if domestic celebrities still want to develop their careers in Hollywood after seeing Cheng Sheng's interview.]

[Hmph! Top-tier celebrities in China still end up playing supporting roles in Hollywood, sometimes without even a few lines.]

[Development my foot! Even if domestic artists go to Hollywood, they'll only get minor roles; there aren't any good ones for them.]

Forget Hollywood, let's talk about something else!

[Hehe, Zhao Yazhi, Li Xiaoran, and Cheng Sheng met at the hotel. I wonder if there's some secret going on?]

[The person upstairs can just speculate; don't spread rumors. I'm afraid of people like you who believe everything you hear. The three of them met in public, not in a hotel room.]

I think that guy is a hater of Cheng Sheng; otherwise, why would he smear him?

[This is obviously a secondary account, here to stir up trouble. Don't let it affect you.]

【…】

The news has sparked heated discussions online, and people in the industry have also seen it.

"Mr. Wang, do you think Cheng Shengjian and the other person were really just chatting?"

In the office of Xiao Wang, the general manager of Huayi, Li Shuangbing sat on Xiao Wang's lap, looking at the messages on the computer.

"What? Are you curious?" Young Master Wang glanced at Li Shuangbing indifferently.

"Hmm." Li Shuangbing thought for a moment and nodded.

"I think you just want Chen Kai to make a new movie!"

Mr. Wang immediately saw through Li Shuangbing's thoughts.

"Mr. Wang, do I really have no chance with director Chen Kaige's new film?"

Li Shuangbing, whose thoughts had been exposed, showed no embarrassment but instead pleaded.

Young Master Wang sneered, "This matter ends here. Besides, the company has given you enough. Don't be greedy!"

Since Wang Jinhua left Huayi with a large number of artists, the two Wangs of Huayi have spent a lot of effort and resources to retain Li Shuangbing.

This year, in order to get her to renew her contract, he directly gave her an 80 million yuan renewal fee and even helped her land the second female lead role in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Forbidden Kingdom". Seeing that he had made President Wang unhappy, Li Shuangbing smiled charmingly and said, "President Wang, he is only doing it for Huayi's own good. If I can get the female lead role in Chen Kaige's new film, wouldn't Huayi be the one to benefit?"

"Give up! When my brother and I found out Chen Kai was making a new film, we contacted him, and he refused without even thinking about it," said Mr. Wang.

Li Shuangbing looked disappointed upon hearing this.

She really wants to star in the new movie co-starring Chen Kaige and Cheng Sheng.

"If the female lead doesn't work, the second female lead will do!" Li Shuangbing said, still unwilling to give up.

"Kneel down."

"Young Master Wang said coldly."

Li Shuangbing's voice trembled, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he slowly stood up from his lap, then knelt in front of him.

A few minutes.

Li Shuangbing covered his mouth and ran out of the office.

"Sis, are you alright?"

Seeing Li Shuangbing come out of the restroom, his sister Li Xue handed him a tissue and asked worriedly.

"fine."

Li Shuangbing wiped his mouth with a tissue and shook his head.

"Damn it, the Wang brothers don't treat you like a human being at all. I should have known better than to renew your contract with Huayi Company," Li Xue cursed.

“Alright, now that we’ve made our choice, we have to stick to it.” Li Shuangbing said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Sis, have you asked CEO Chen Kai about his new movie?"

"I asked, and Huayi can't get it."

Li Shuangbing clenched his fists and said.

"Hmph! I think Huayi didn't intend to let you get Chen Kaige's new movie. Otherwise, with Huayi's size, it would be easy for them to get it." Li Xue said unwillingly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this at the company, to avoid being overheard."

"Ah."

"Sister, I heard that Fan Shuangbing met with Chen Kaige."

As they left the company and got into the van, Li Xue said to Li Shuangbing.

"Oh, what happened?"

Upon hearing Fan Shuangbing's name, Li Shuangbing immediately became interested, after all, Fan Shuangbing was her rival.

“A reporter photographed Fan Shuangbing and Chen Kai meeting in a coffee shop, and the two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation,” Li Xue said.

Do you think Fan Shuangbing can land the role in the new movie?

Li Shuangbing frowned.

"I don't know, but judging from Fan Shuangbing's past hype tactics, if she had really landed the role in Chen Kaige's new movie, she probably would have already started hyping it up online. The fact that there's no buzz online means that Fan Shuangbing has clearly failed."

"Sis, should we contact Chen Kaige?"

“We don’t have much of a relationship with Chen Kaige, and Huayi has already contacted him. If we contact Chen Kaige again, Huayi might have something to say.”

"I heard Huang Xiaoming and Cheng Sheng are close, should we let Huang Xiaoming..."

Upon hearing Li Shuangbing's words, Li Xue immediately understood what she meant and interrupted, "That's probably very difficult. Huang Xiaoming wouldn't do something like that."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuangbing looked dejected and said, "The company is unreliable and has no connections. It seems that Chen Kaige's new movie project has no chance."

"Sister, don't be discouraged. After all, you still have the role of the second female lead in 'The Forbidden Kingdom'," Li Xue comforted her.

"Don't mention the second female lead to me."

Li Shuangbing's face contorted with rage as he spoke viciously.

Li Xue was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening. (End of Chapter)
