This director is so innocent.

Chapter 106 Fan Xiaopang

The "Four Dan and Two Bing" was a concept created by Southern Metropolis Entertainment in 02, inspired by Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment.

At that time, the four most popular young actresses were selected: Zhao Yanzi, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Cairen, and Zhou Xun.

Later, in an attempt to capitalize on the hype, Wang Jinghua added her own artists, Bingbing and Fan Bingbing, to the list.

At the beginning, Zhao Yanzi was ranked first, with a status and fame far exceeding the other five.

It can be said that she outshone the other five. The true number one TV actress is not the one who is just hyped up by fans.

The reason, of course, was the wildly popular "My Fair Princess" and "Romance in the Rain" across Asia. After that, she entered the Hong Kong entertainment circle and collaborated with Stephen Chow on "Shaolin Soccer".

Although Zhang Ziyi had the boost from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at that time, she was still completely overshadowed by Zhao Yanzi, a top Asian pop idol.

Until Zhao Yanzi encountered that incident, her reputation among the public plummeted, and coupled with the poor box office performance of several films in a row, her status declined.

During those years, Zhang Ziyi starred in three hit movies in a row: "2046", "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", winning both the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster Awards and becoming the strongest actress among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses, respectively).

Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was no longer a threat and with no worries about her home front, she confidently went international, becoming Zhang Ziyi, and no longer had the heart to fight in the domestic competition among young actresses.

Although Zhou Xun didn't have any big productions during those years, others were racking up awards!

She has appeared at the Golden Horse Awards, Hong Kong Film Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, and Hundred Flowers Awards.

Although Xu Cai Ren didn't have any big productions or awards, she was a heartthrob in Beijing's elite circles, with a bunch of privileged young men fawning over her, making her position very secure.

He writes his own blog, and when he's in the mood, he'll ask Wang Shuo to write a script and make his own art-house short film.

Li Lianhua has always worked very hard, but that's all she's achieved; she hasn't made it in movies, television, or in awards.

But things changed after her sister, Li Xue, took over, with the $7000 million film "The Forbidden Kingdom" landing her a role.

Fan Xiaopang was in a similar situation to Li Lianhua before; the two were like chickens fighting each other, neither able to defeat the other.

But after leaving Huayi and opening her own studio, she could clearly feel that her resources were not as good as before.

Therefore, she wanted to find a new powerful backer.

Although this thigh is not big yet, it is a potential stock.

This potential star is none other than Su Jin.

After receiving the offer to star in "Painted Skin", she specifically had someone collect information about Su Jin.

She discovered a shocking secret: every film and television drama that Su Jin invested in made a fortune; not a single one lost money.

Making money with one film is possible, making money with two films is possible, making money with three films is possible, but making money with four or five films in a row is unbelievable.

Although she didn't know why Su Jin had such good taste, it didn't stop her from taking a gamble. Even if she lost, it wouldn't matter; she could just consider it a loss.

Of course, Su Jin is so beautiful, so it's not a loss. If she has good stamina and technique, she might even gain something.

Su Jin walked into the private room of the rooftop restaurant and saw Fan Xiaopang sitting by the window.

No wonder Fan Bingbing's authors are still writing about her even after she was caught evading taxes; her looks are just too stunning.

It also proves the old saying that values ​​follow appearance; if someone wasn't that good-looking, it would be strange if they wrote about her.

Fan Xiaopang wore a deep V-neck silk halter dress tonight, revealing her sexy collarbone and fair, rounded shoulders.

Her beautiful hair was casually tied up behind her head, and the view of her chest was faintly visible, which was very alluring.

Based on his years of experience, Fan Xiaopang probably wasn't wearing anything underneath, just a nipple cover-up. Looks like there's going to be a big battle tonight.

When Fan Xiaopang saw Su Jin come in, he immediately stood up, smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Director Su, I've heard so much about you."

""

"Hello, Teacher Fan." Su Jin was very gentlemanly, touching him and then putting him down immediately.

"Director Su, you're too kind. Just call me Bingbing."

"In that case, you don't need to call me Director Su anymore, just call me Su Jin." Su Jin said with some emotion.

Fan Xiaopang is really humble!

He's quite famous now, with a Cannes Jury Prize to his name, but honestly, he's still not good enough compared to someone like Fan Bingbing.

Fan Xiaopang smiled wryly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

After the two sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, ordered some dishes, and then Fan Xiaopang said, "Director Su, I heard you also sent invitations to Zhou Xun and Li Lianhua. How did it go?"

She didn't know Su Jin well enough yet, so it was better to call him Director Su for now, to avoid upsetting others.

"Teacher Zhou agreed."

"What about Li Lianhua?"

"We weren't meant to work with Teacher Li; we can only hope to have another opportunity to collaborate."

Fan Xiaopang smiled and felt relieved. As long as Li Lianhua didn't agree, that was good. Otherwise, if her good friend ascended to heaven while she was still stuck in the same place, that wouldn't do.

As for Zhou Xun? She's not on the same level as her, there's no need to compare.

"Director Su, try this foie gras, it's quite good." Fan Xiaopang picked up a piece of foie gras and placed it in Su Jin's bowl.

"Thank you." Su Jin frowned slightly, but still thanked him. He didn't like eating this kind of liver, and he didn't like pig liver either. He felt that it had a dry texture and didn't taste good.

"Director Su, who is the male lead, Wang Sheng?"

"Chen Kun".

"Why would you choose him?" Fan Xiaopang frowned slightly. In her opinion, a big production with a budget of 2000 million US dollars should definitely have a Hong Kong or Taiwan star as a safety net.

"He's suitable," Su Jin replied succinctly.

Seeing that Su Jin didn't say much, Fan Xiaopang stopped asking and instead inquired about the character of Madam Wang, Pei Rong.

"Director Su, what kind of person is the character of Madam Wang, Pei Rong?"

"She can be summed up in one idiom: a virtuous wife and loving mother, brave, steady, kind, and understanding."

Fan Xiaopang was a little puzzled. A virtuous wife and loving mother? Her appearance didn't quite fit the bill!

But she didn't voice her doubts.

What if Su Jin regrets it?

She didn't even sign a contract.

"When will you turn it on?"

"Late November or early December."

Su Jin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Will you still act in TV dramas in the future?"

Currently, the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses are focusing on the film industry and are not acting in television dramas. Although the two Bing actresses have acted in a few television dramas in recent years, their focus remains on the film industry.

"Probably not. These days, TV dramas don't add much value to people of our caliber, it's not worth it," Fan Xiaopang replied softly.

Actually, there was one more thing she didn't say.

If the other five go on to make movies, and she goes on to make TV dramas, wouldn't that make her seem outdated and behind the times? What would her fans think of her? What would the producers think of her?

"What if it's a really good script?"

"Director Su, you don't mean to ask me to act in a TV series, do you?" Fan Xiaopang asked back. She wasn't stupid. By connecting the sentences and thinking for a moment, she could understand what Su Jin meant.

"I have that idea."

"Are you starring in it? If you are, I can agree to it."

"You trust me that much?"

"Of course, if a Cannes Jury Prize winner like you can act in a TV series, why should I be ashamed?"

"Let's talk about the TV series later! The script isn't ready yet. I'll come back to you once I have the script."

"OK, I'll wait for your letter." Fan Xiaopang said, giving him a flirtatious wink.

"Try the foie gras, it's really delicious."

"Never mind, I don't like it."

"Then have a chicken foot—"

We finished eating around nine o'clock.

Inside the elevator, Fan Xiaopang said, "Director Su, have you driven your car? My assistant had an emergency at home and took my car. Could you please give me a ride home?"

Su Jin gave her a deep look and smiled, "It's my honor."

Half an hour later, we arrived at No. 8 Hesheng Xiaoyun Road, which is Fan Xiaopang's mansion in Beijing.

Fan Xiaopang said that to thank Su Jin for bringing her back, she invited him upstairs for a cup of tea.

Su Jin readily agreed.

"What would you like to drink? Tea, a soft drink, coffee?" Fan Xiaopang asked casually, putting down his bag.

"Mineral water." Su Jin looked around; in a word, it was chaos.

A few fashion magazines were casually placed on the dining table, a few dresses were hanging on the chairs, and there were a few clothes on the sofa.

The ground was quite clean, with no litter.

"Sorry, the house is a bit messy, I haven't had time to tidy up." Fan Xiaopang handed Su Jin a bottle of mineral water and said somewhat awkwardly.

"fine."

Su Jin took the bottled water, found a clean place to sit down, and chatted casually with Fan Xiaopang.

Suddenly, he felt as if his fingers had touched something.

Unable to resist my curiosity, I pulled it out.

Su Jin's face stiffened, and she quickly stuffed it back in.

Those were Fan Xiaopang's personal items, the kind he wore at the beach, the kind with a few strings.

He stuffed it in quickly enough, but Fan Xiaopang was still seen, and even though she had a thick skin, she couldn't help but blush.

After all, she's just a 26-year-old girl.

How can you not feel embarrassed when you see someone holding your underwear?

Su Jin's lips twitched twice, feeling extremely embarrassed. If she had known it was this thing, she wouldn't have been so impulsive.

"Um—I'm so sorry! I didn't expect it to be like this either." Su Jin smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at Su Jin, his eyes full of charm.

Su Jin sighed, "She's really a vixen."

Seeing that it was almost time, Fan Xiaopang stood up and said, "Let's have some red wine!"

"Ouch—"

Fan Xiaopang stumbled, his body swayed towards Su Jin, and he fell into Su Jin's arms.

He's supposed to be a performance student, but this fall was so unprofessional.

Despite her complaints, with a beauty in her arms, Su Jin stopped pretending. What was there to pretend for?

Others have already taken the initiative two or three times; it's his turn to take the initiative once.

Su Jin lowered his head and kissed her, and Fan Bingbing closed her eyes, looking as if she were ready to be taken.

Lips closed, tongues intertwined.

Fan Xiaopang's lips were very soft, unlike the delicate lips of most girls; they were slightly cool.

He didn't know when, but her bra strap had slipped down, and as he had guessed, she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

Su Jin gently stroked her back; it felt wonderful, so smooth and delicate, like peeling an egg, making it irresistible to touch.

"Hmm." Fan Bingbing closed her eyes and couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her body trembling slightly.

As the saying goes: "I'll crush the flowers and throw them before my lover, so he can sleep with me tonight."

The next day, in the morning.

A storm has swept across the internet.

Popular young actor Su Jin and A-list celebrity Fan Bingbing had dinner together.

"Shocking! Popular young actor Su Jin is in a relationship, and his lover is actually a top-tier celebrity."

"Unveiling the untold story of Su Jin and Fan Bingbing."

"Fan Bingbing's mysterious boyfriend has been revealed, and it turns out to be him."

The TV series "Struggle" is still airing and Su Jin is very popular online, no less so than Xu Sanduo.

The media went wild, spreading rumors about him and Fan Xiaopang so quickly that within half an hour, news of their relationship was everywhere online.

Tianya, blogs, Hupu, Douban, Sina, NetEase, 123.com —

Su Jin was completely unaware of all this, and entered the company humming "The people are really happy today."

Not long after I sat down, Zhao Shan knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, you're having an affair."

"What the heck?" Su Jin was taken aback and asked, "A scandal? Who am I having a scandal with?"

I had a fierce battle with Fan Xiaopang all night yesterday, and my head is still a little foggy.

Ok?

Fan Xiaopang?

Could it be a rumor about him and Fan Xiaopang?

"Boss, did you have dinner alone with Fan Bingbing last night? Someone took photos of you two having dinner together."

"Is it just a photo of someone eating?"

"Yes." Zhao Shan nodded, but a question arose in her heart.

The boss just said it was just a photo of the meal, but it seems there's more to it than meets the eye!

However, this is the boss's private matter, so she'd better not pry.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a photo of him eating; the rumors would be dispelled in no time. But if photos of him going to Fan Xiaopang's house were taken, things would be very complicated.

Could this rumor have been leaked by Fan Xiaopang?

But then again, it seems unlikely. Given Fan Xiaopang's status, there's really no need for him to ride on his coattails; it would only lower his own standing.

He's more likely just riding on Fan Xiaopang's popularity.

Wait a minute, could it be that Fan Xiaopang thinks the same way?

Although he is innocent, it's still best to explain.

Su Jin picked up her phone, just about to send Fan Xiaopang an explanation via text message, when she saw that her phone had received a text message from Fan Xiaopang, the content of which was very concise.

"I didn't spread the rumors. If you need to clarify, just let me know and I'll cooperate with you."

"Thank you, but I didn't spread the message," Su Jin explained to prevent Fan Xiaopang from misunderstanding.

I had just put my phone down when it rang again; it was Sister Xia calling.

"No, don't cry."

"No, I'm asking her to star in a movie."

"It's just a meal, don't overthink it."

"Sweetie, we're back in the capital. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Bye, bye-bye."

After hanging up, Yang Mi called back. This time, she wasn't so polite and directly said no, then hung up.

Behind them are Da Meiyuan, Architect Jiang, Tangtang, and Sister Ge.

Everyone who had ever discussed art with him called to inquire, and he was almost driven crazy by them. Only after turning off his phone did the world become quiet again.

"Boss, shouldn't we clarify this rumor?" Zhao Shan asked.

"Let the dust settle for a while, clarify tomorrow, and contact Fan Bingbing's side. The content should mention 'Painted Skin' to generate some hype."

"Should we announce it regarding Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming?"

"No, let's wait until the press conference for the start of filming of 'Painted Skin' to announce the news together. That would be more shocking."

OK.

After Zhao Shan left, Su Jin opened a webpage and searched for her own name. Goodness, it was full of gossip and rumors.

The writing became increasingly outrageous, starting with eating together, then progressing to a suspected romantic relationship, then to confirmation, then to years of dating, and finally to the absurd claim that the two were already married.

Damn it, why don't they mention that he and Fan Xiaopang have a child?
