Entertainment: The Era of the Cantonese Circle

Wang Jing, knowing better than to compete with the beautiful women for the opportunity, stepped aside. Chen Yunfan, who was also standing to the side, asked, "Director Wang, you must have spent a lot of money hiring so many beautiful women, right?"

"Haha, I'm a very thrifty person. Their combined salaries didn't even exceed a quarter of the investment?"

"A quarter? A 20 million investment, and you only got so many beautiful women for 5 million?"

"If you have a good relationship with someone, you can get a discount; if you don't, you can find a sponsor!"

Wang Jing smiled and pointed to Tang Yan beside him, "I didn't pay her to come."

"The company behind her, Orange Lick Entertainment, was established last year and wants to enter the Hong Kong market. They are looking for projects everywhere. This time, they invested several million to get a share and a co-production title."

"I've worked with Gao Yuanyuan before. She wants to break into the Hong Kong market, and she wants a very low salary."

"And that Yang Xue..."

When it comes to beautiful women, Wang Jing becomes particularly energetic and recounts various details.

This movie didn't attract many male viewers to the theater; they were even embarrassed to admit their surname was Wang, the same Wang as the neighbor's.

As he compared the differences between beauties from mainland China and those from Hong Kong, Chen Yunfan remembered something.

In 04, during the filming of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws", a fight broke out between the actors.

Only the parties involved know the truth, but one thing cannot be denied: the reason this matter has caused such a stir is due to the conflict between the mainland and Hong Kong circles.

Chen Yunfan interrupted Wang Jing, reminding him, "I hope Director Wang can treat everyone equally. It wouldn't be good if something like the Little White Dragon incident happened again."

Wang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Of course I'll treat everyone equally. Haven't I already found quite a few mainland actresses?"

"Take Sister Jia Ling, for example. Although she is a Hong Kong actress, she was actually born and raised in mainland China."

Chen Yunfan nodded slightly.

Wang Jing is good at judging situations. Once he's learned his lesson, it's rare to see him make the same mistake twice.

While the two were chatting, a female reporter noticed Chen Yunfan next to Wang Jing.

Although women also like to look at beautiful women, there's nowhere as good as looking at handsome men.

After noticing Chen Yunfan, she immediately walked over to the two of them and asked, "Director Wang, is this handsome young man your new rising star?"

"Haha, how could I be qualified to praise him? This is our screenwriter, and he's also a producer. He can promote himself."

"A producer?" The female reporter immediately sensed there was news. "What films and television shows have they produced?"

"These are all unreleased films."

Chen Yunfan wanted to keep a low profile, but some people didn't want him to.

The male reporter who recognized him earlier noticed the situation and carefully examined the handsome young man. Then, recalling the title of "young producer," he remembered someone.

The male reporter immediately ran up to Chen Yunfan: "Mr. Chen, has 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' finished filming? When does Stephen Chow plan to release it?"

"It won't be that fast. We'll release more details later."

"Mr. Chen, is it very time-consuming for Stephen Chow to film movies?"

"You'll have the chance to see for yourself."

I had a golden opportunity, but before the male reporter could ask any more questions, other reporters nearby came over because they heard about Stephen Chow.

After many reporters moved to Chen Yunfan, some of the beautiful women were left without reporters, which made them curious about what had happened.

In the break room, seeing that Liu Jialing and Chen Yunfan seemed familiar with each other, a Hong Kong actress approached her and asked her something.

"Sister Jialing, who is this Mr. Chen? He's attracting so much attention from reporters."

"The producer of 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' and 'The Legend of Bruce Lee'. You should be able to see this in the entertainment news recently."

Several actresses nearby perked up their ears, their eyes lighting up upon hearing this information.

They had heard of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" and "The Legend of Bruce Lee," but since they couldn't reach those places, they didn't know much about them. Little did they know that the producer was right there in front of them.

Chatting with producers in their fifties or sixties might be interpreted as them currying favor, smiling obsequiously, and fawning over others in order to get opportunities.

Chatting with a young, handsome producer—this is about striving for and pursuing...

.......

the next day!

The crew of "Ocean's 8" held a blessing ceremony at the entrance of the hotel next door yesterday to start filming.

Chen Yunfan finished his prayers first and then hid to the side.

The professor Yi Xiaoxing, who was standing next to him, was startled when he saw the crowd blocking the way.

"Didn't we have a press conference yesterday? Why are there even more reporters here today than yesterday?"

"The food you ate yesterday is yesterday's food; the food you eat today is today's food."

On the table next to Chen Yunfan, there were several Hong Kong entertainment newspapers, all of which featured one of the actresses from "Ocean's 8".

With so many beautiful actresses, Hong Kong's entertainment newspapers certainly garnered a lot of attention.

Given that he seems to generate a lot of buzz, it's not surprising that so many reporters came today.

Fortunately, there was a fence around the perimeter, otherwise the reporters would have pounced on them like hungry dogs... which doesn't seem quite right.

"Hello, screenwriter Chen, my name is Gao Yuanyuan. There were so many people at yesterday's press conference that I didn't get a chance to greet you properly."

Gao Yuanyuan placed a plate on the table to the side. "I got some food over there, please try it."

"Thanks!"

Chen Yunfan casually picked up a bamboo skewer, stuck a piece of pork in it, and ate it.

Professor Yi Xiaoxing quickly got up and said sensibly, "Boss, I'll go get something else to eat."

"No need, Miss Gao has quite a lot of things." Chen Yunfan raised his hand and pressed his palm down.

"Haha, then I won't be polite."

Professor Yi Xiaoxing blinked and had no choice but to sit down. He smiled, picked up a piece of apple from the plate with a bamboo skewer, and chewed and chewed, making the atmosphere a little strange.

Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised. This young producer seemed different from the producers she had encountered before. How interesting!

Before she could say anything more to Chen Yunfan, some young actresses, who seemed to share the same idea, came over with their plates.

In no time, the table in front of Chen Yunfan was covered with things.

Professor Yi Xiaoxing, one of the two most attractive women in the garden, is in an awkward position. "The boss and the beautiful ladies are all looking for you, so please let me go. I'm just too much of an eyesore here."

The savior he had been waiting for had arrived.

Jing Tian also brought over a plate and was surprised to see the table. "Oh, it's all full."

"Fan-ge, you're too fast! I didn't even see you take it."

Chen Yunfan smiled and waved to the actresses around him, "It's all thanks to the help of you beautiful ladies."

"By the way, how were the two songs I gave you?"

"We've found Wu Lecheng; the recording is complete and in post-production!"

Seeing that Jing Tian was so familiar with his boss, Professor Yi Xiaoxing immediately stood up and gave her his seat when he saw that she didn't have a seat, and then left.

This time, Chen Yunfan didn't signal to him, and continued chatting with Jing Tian, ​​"So fast? Haven't you been studying with an acting teacher lately?"

"Yes! I study acting during the day and practice singing at night. I've been incredibly busy lately."

"If you want to pursue both careers, you'll be this busy."

The two chatted so familiarly and so blatantly, ignoring the others. The actresses around them tactfully left, keeping Jing Tian in mind.

She seems to have a very good relationship with Chen Yunfan. Is this "brother" a term of address, a real brother, or even a romantic brother? It's so hard to guess!

After everyone had left, Jing Tian realized, "How come they all left so suddenly?"

"We've run out of things to talk about."

Jing Tian is so naive, or rather, inexperienced. Chen Yunfan thought for a moment and still gave her a reminder, "In the future, when you're on set, talk less and observe more. Don't agree to anything easily."

"Brother Fan, why are you suddenly saying these things?"

"So you won't get sold out and still be helping the seller count the money. Where am I going to find a niece to compensate your uncle then?"

"Tch, don't underestimate me. I'm not that stupid." Jing Tian said, taking a grape and eating it.

Chen Yunfan asked with a smile, "What is 50,000 plus 50,000?"

Jing Tian was somewhat bewildered: "10!"

"What about 5 times 5?"

"25!"

"You still say you're not stupid."

Jing Tian retorted angrily, "What do you mean I'm stupid? 5 multiplied by 5 equals 25, doesn't it?"

"Take a pen and write it down again. Don't write 'ten thousand' in Chinese; write 'ten thousand' with four zeros."

"Hmph, fine, I'll write it. 5000 times 5000 million is just..."

Jing Tian went to the side to find a pen and paper, and after writing down the number, she realized that it was indeed not equal to 25, but rather 25 billion.

Stunned, she resorted to pleading, "That doesn't count, that doesn't count. Brother Fan, you're just focusing on the wording. Give me another question and I'll definitely be able to answer it."

"Haha! I'm not going out anymore." Chen Yunfan waved his hand.

"Just remember what I just told you: if you feel wronged, don't keep it to yourself, tell me."

Jing Tian nodded, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
