Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Cheng Yuan is no unknown figure in the industry now; he is more famous than many directors who have been in the industry for many years and have made many works.

Buried Alive is absolutely stunning.

It not only won awards internationally, but also grossed over 30 million yuan at the domestic box office.

The key is that it generates a lot of buzz.

Cheng Yuan made tens of millions without any investment.

Who in the industry wouldn't envy that?

That kind of skill is so impressive that anyone in the industry would give it a thumbs up and say it's awesome, and they would also have to admit that it can't be copied.

Although the movie was quite controversial, anyone in the know could see that it wasn't directed by Jiang Wen.

When Cheng Yuan visited the set, he naturally didn't come empty-handed; he brought many drinks.

"Director Yu, hello, sorry to bother you."

Cheng Yuan smiled and shook hands with Yu Min.

"Director Cheng, welcome!"

Yu Min replied with a smile.

Zhang Jizhong isn't here today, and it seems Liu Xiaoli isn't here either.

The latter, in particular, immediately dispelled Cheng Yuan's anxiety.

"Director Cheng, hello, I'm Huang Xiaoming!"

Huang Xiaoming also came closer and greeted Cheng Yuan with a smile.

"Hello!"

Cheng Yuan smiled and shook hands with Huang Xiaoming.

This person is considered a veteran in the industry; at least when Cheng Yuan was reborn, he was quite popular.

However, his acting skills were somewhat inconsistent and fluctuating.

Many people joked that he acted in a good film, and then rewarded himself with a domineering CEO role.

Although they were in the same circle, Cheng Yuan had little contact with him in his previous life.

This person has an excellent reputation within the industry.

This may be one of the reasons why he has been able to thrive in the industry.

Of course, another reason, in Cheng Yuan's view, is that he is doing well in business.

"Director Cheng, hello, I'm Wang Jia."

Wang Jia said to Cheng Yuan with a smile, while Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Why are you getting involved?" Cheng Yuan said. "Should I call you class monitor?"

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

Many people looked at Wang Jia, knowing that she and Liu Yifei were classmates and had a good relationship.

I never expected him to have this other identity.

Afterwards, I got to know many people in the film crew.

However, Yang Mi, who plays Guo Xiang, was not seen.

In his previous life, Cheng Yuan and she didn't have much interaction.

Birds of a feather flock together.

In his previous life, he had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, but he was still a nobody. How could he possibly have much interaction with big names like Yang Mi and Huang Xiaoming?

Cheng Yuan spent half a day on set, and ate a boxed lunch there at noon.

In the afternoon, Liu Yifei finished filming her scenes ahead of schedule and wrapped up work.

She treated Cheng Yuan to a lavish meal.

However, besides Cheng Yuan, there are also Wang Jia and Huang Xiaoming.

The former was called by Liu Yifei, while the latter was something she actively sought out.

And the way it's done doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

He has a very good grasp of emotional intelligence.

This may be one of the reasons why he became popular.

"Are you two dating?"

Once everyone was seated in the private room, Wang Jia couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei and Cheng Yuan.

There's definitely something wrong with these two.

"You know, I wanted to live off her before, but she didn't want to," Cheng Yuan said with a smile. "Now I'm thinking of forcing myself on her, but she still doesn't want to. Class monitor, why don't you try to persuade her?"

Huang Xiaoming was stunned when he heard this. Is this how young people nowadays pursue girls?

How straightforward!

"He said I'm somewhat attractive and that he's taken a liking to me, and that I should find a way to fall in love with him." Liu Yifei pouted as she noticed everyone looking at her. "He also said that out of 1.2 billion people, he only gave me a chance, and that I shouldn't be ungrateful and narrow my path."

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jia couldn't help but laugh.

Who would confess their feelings like that?

Huang Xiaoming was stunned again. Are young people these days so hardcore when confessing their love to girls?

But why do I want to learn it?

This style is really classy.

"Then why are you so ungrateful?"

Wang Jia smiled at Liu Yifei. The two might not be dating, but their relationship was closer than that of ordinary classmates.

"My mom says I'm too young and won't let me date."

Liu Yifei said there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

I guess he's gotten thick-skinned from chatting with Cheng Yuan so much.

"I thought you looked down on me," Cheng Yuan said with a smile. "Your mother doesn't allow you to date, but from elementary school to university, your teachers must have taught you a principle."

"What's the reasoning behind that?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask, "Is this guy going to come up with another twisted logic to try and convince me?"

"When doing multiple-choice questions, it's better to choose the wrong answer than to leave it blank," Cheng Yuan said. "Besides, you're unlikely to choose the wrong one. There's only one correct answer; how could you possibly choose the wrong one?"

"You're as shameless as ever!" Liu Yifei laughed. "Does that mean I'm still obsessed with you?"

"Is there anyone else who wants to live off you?" Cheng Yuan laughed. "Tell me, who else? I'll go find them and fight them one-on-one."

"A one-on-one duel?"

Wang Jia looked at Liu Yifei, seemingly asking her to state her name before letting Cheng Yuan have a one-on-one fight.

She wanted to see.

"I'm a trained fighter," Cheng Yuan said. "Don't look down on me."

"Have you practiced martial arts?"

Liu Yifei was somewhat surprised; she had never heard Cheng Yuan mention it before.

"Although my practical Bajiquan skills aren't that great, in a real fight, even the action stars in the industry might not be able to beat me."

Cheng Yuan spoke calmly, and this was no exaggeration.

He practices every day now.

Of course, he wasn't doing it for his own fighting ability, but mainly for improving his physical fitness.

"boast!"

Liu Yifei pouted and said.

She was also a trained martial artist, so she naturally knew that most action actors in the industry were all show and no substance, but they weren't without real skills.

"Just say the word, and I'll go and fight someone," Cheng Yuan said. "However, if I accidentally kill someone, you'll probably have to come visit me in prison."

Huang Xiaoming listened from the side, unable to get a word in edgewise.

He really didn't know that this was the topic of your dinner party.

After all, I had just met Cheng Yuan, so it wasn't appropriate to interrupt with this kind of topic.

"A martial arts contest to choose a husband?"

Wang Jia couldn't help but say something.

"How's your movie going?"

Liu Yifei changed the subject. If this topic continued, it wouldn't be a matter of "contesting for a husband" anymore; it might even lead to a life-or-death separation.

She was well aware of Cheng Yuan's conversational skills.

As for killing someone?

It's not impossible if one's kung fu skills aren't up to par and one can't control the intensity.

She knew very well that real kung fu was a killing technique, which was different from routines.

How did Cheng Yuan learn this kind of kung fu?

"China Film Group and Qingdao Film Studio have submitted their submissions for review," Cheng Yuan said. "Once we get the film's approval, we'll send them to Cannes."

"Then I wish you success in winning the Palme d'Or."

Liu Yifei said with a smile, "The Palme d'Or is definitely one of the three most prestigious awards in Europe, even if it were awarded domestically."

There's only one in the country, after all.

If we're really talking about it, it's only half a Palme d'Or.

"Thank you for your kind words! If I win the Palme d'Or, I'll confess my love to you in front of the whole world."

Cheng Yuan looked at Liu Yifei and said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid I'll be ungrateful and end up making things difficult for myself?"

Liu Yifei didn't take it seriously, clearly thinking that Cheng Yuan was just joking.
