I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 59 The Big Simp Huang Xiaoming!

"Changchang, wait a minute, I'll call Scarlett right away."

Zeng Li naturally took such an important matter seriously, so she stood up and went outside to make a phone call.

Five minutes later, Zeng Li jogged back, her face full of excitement.

"Sister Li, how are you?"

"Tell me quickly, is it true?"

Zheng Guolin and Bai Baihe were even more anxious than Su Chang. After Zeng Li sat down, the two asked at the same time.

“I asked, and it’s true. Scarlett said that Spielberg is indeed going to make an Asian film, and he’s currently casting for it,” Zeng Li said excitedly.

"Changchang, you've struck it rich! This is the best opportunity to break into Hollywood. If you manage to establish yourself in Hollywood, don't forget about us!" Zheng Guolin said excitedly, his face flushed.

"Good heavens, that's Spielberg! Changchang, call him back right now and agree to audition," Bai Baihe said, linking arms with Su Chang.

Tong Yaya and Wang Zhi, who had been silent all along, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

First, a famous Hong Kong director approached her to play the lead role, and now Hollywood is asking her to audition.

Su Chang gets all the good things; they don't even get an audition notice from a small film crew.

If they received an audition invitation from Hollywood, they would probably faint with happiness.

Although Su Chang was also excited, she remained very calm at this moment.

Of course she was happy to go to Hollywood. You know, which domestic artist these days doesn't dream of breaking into Hollywood?
Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Gong Li, Chow Yun-fat, and others.

These predecessors all made it to Hollywood, but apart from Chen Long and Li Lianjie, the rest only made a brief appearance in Hollywood before returning to China to develop their careers.

Su Chang endured hardship from a young age, which fostered her cautious and meticulous personality.

She didn't want to rush into Hollywood only to be humiliatingly sent back to China.

She needs someone to support and encourage her, so that she can have the courage to strive in Hollywood.

And the best candidate...

Su Chang looked at Cheng Sheng at the main table.

She owes her current success to Cheng Sheng, and she really wants to ask Cheng Sheng's opinion on whether she should take on this movie.

However, she knew now was not the time to ask that question; she would have to wait until Director Cheng had time before she could approach him.

"Shanzi, I heard you went back to Director Cheng's hometown with him?" Wang Zhi asked Qiao Shan, who was eating.

“Yes!” Qiao Shan said, taking a bite of the pig’s trotter.

"Is Director Cheng's hometown fun? What relatives does he have?" Wang Zhi asked, a glint of light in her eyes.

"The scenery is nice, as for family... why are you asking that?"

Qiao Shan replied casually, but quickly realized what he meant and stared at Wang Zhi warily.

He wasn't stupid. Although he had only acted in one movie, he was aware of some of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

It's quite normal for some actresses to sleep with directors in order to get roles.

Moreover, some scheming female celebrities even set their sights on the director's relatives.

"I was just curious." Seeing that Qiao Shan had become wary, Wang Zhi was slightly disappointed and did not continue to ask questions.

……

"Swallow, what are you looking at?"

At another table, Huang Xiaoming noticed his crush staring intently at Cheng Sheng's table, glancing around repeatedly, and asked curiously. Zhao forced a smile and said, "I'm just a little envious of Cheng Sheng."

"Yes! I'm envious too."

Huang Xiaoming glanced at Cheng Sheng, who was talking quietly with Third Master Han, and said.

Cheng Sheng is definitely a winner in life. Before even graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, a single movie made him a legend, and now everyone envies and is jealous of him.

He is now hailed online as the fourth greatest director in China, even surpassing Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang. If Cheng Shengcai hadn't just entered the entertainment industry and lacked experience, he would have been ranked alongside Zhang Yimou.

"If one day I could sit at the same table with these big shots as him, I would die happy," Zhao said.

"Yanzi, you will definitely have your chance. Among the students from Beijing Film Academy, you are the most outstanding. Now everyone in the country knows you."

Huang Xiaoming really does have the traits of a simp these days.

However, Huang Xiaoming wasn't wrong; the three seasons of "Princess Pearl" made Zhao an overnight sensation.

Zhao's popularity peaked at 10 after the broadcast of "My Fair Princess". For nearly four years from 1998 to 2002, her popularity was far ahead of other actresses.

Back then, newspapers, magazines, and other media frequently featured her on their front pages; her image and name were practically household names.

"My Fair Princess" was not only a hit in China, but also overseas. After being broadcast in Vietnam, Thailand and other places, Zhao gained a large number of overseas fans.

Zhao rose to fame quickly with her role as "Little Swallow". Her popularity is reflected not only in the TV series' ratings, influence and popularity, but also in her achievements in music and film, as well as her commercial value and public welfare activities.

Therefore, among contemporary actresses, no one is more popular than Zhao.

Otherwise, she would not have been blacklisted in the future if she hadn't brought this upon herself.

Seeing that Zhao remained silent, Huang Xiaoming took out two movie tickets and said, "I bought two tickets for 'The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins.' Yanzi, let's go see the movie together after the celebration banquet."

"No, I have something to do tonight, you go by yourself!" Zhao refused directly.

Huang Xiaoming's face darkened, and he put the movie ticket back into his pocket.

Actually, he had been rejected by the goddess he secretly admired more than once or twice, but he just liked to fawn over her.

Halfway through the celebration banquet, amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, the host invited by China Film Group walked onto the platform.

These two guest hosts are not ordinary people; they were invited from CCTV.

"Thank you all for attending the celebration banquet for the box office success of the film 'The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins' distributed by China Film Group."

"The TV series 'The Origins of the Tang Dynasty' is Cheng Sheng's directorial debut..."

"With nearly 700 million yuan at the box office, wouldn't you say this movie is amazing?"

Upon hearing the host's words, the guests sitting below smiled and echoed, "Amazing, number one in the country."

"Okay, everyone, I heard you. It's number one in China. That's great. This movie has broken all the records in China."

"Now, please welcome the record-breaking cast and crew of 'The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins'."

"Director and screenwriter Cheng Sheng."

"Main actors: Zheng Guolin, Fu Dalong, Su Chang, Zeng Li, Bai Baihe, Qiao Shan..."

The two hosts expressed their gratitude on stage, exchanged a few words, and then invited the film's creators to come on stage to meet the guests.

clap clap clap!
Amidst enthusiastic applause from the guests, the creators of "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins" stood up and took to the stage in batches.

The coal mine owners were not left out either; at Cheng Sheng's invitation, they went up to the platform with him.

At that moment, the coal bosses recalled that scene in Venice and shouted in their hearts: "My friends, we are going to be powerful again!"
