Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

It's quite a coincidence that "piracy" meets "legitimate" products.

However, according to the original timeline, the original creators should not have conceived the idea for Detective Chinatown at this point.

So, I stole it.

Besides, Mingbei is a scholar, a nationally recognized undergraduate student.

The "stealing" of a scholar is not theft.

Chen Sicheng, not knowing what to do, hurriedly ran out of the waiting room, looking as if he was about to burst out at any moment.

Let's go!

Mingbei didn't care about this; the two had no connection whatsoever, and he couldn't concern himself with other people's business.

The group entered the VIP room, found a place to sit, and prepared to order some food.

"what?"

During this process, Mingbei unexpectedly spotted a slightly familiar figure.

Tong Liya, who is slender and looks very thin in real life, is sitting in the corner, staring at the entrance.

"Yes, it should be like this when two people travel together..."

Although it's unclear exactly when they got together, it must have been after filming "Love Story in Beijing".

It's hard to determine the relationship right now, but it doesn't really concern Mingbei.

He was just wondering whether he should go and say hello, since she had also acted in The Vigilantes in Masks.

Liu Shishi was the female lead in that drama.

"never mind!"

After thinking for a moment, he abandoned the idea.

If someone is alone, and you suddenly approach them, they might think you're trying to pick them up!

However, although he did not take the initiative to go forward, Chen Sicheng returned a moment later and saw them, and actually came up to them directly!

"Hello, is this Mingbei?"

While enjoying the dumplings, Mingbei looked up in confusion, sensing the dumpling-making techniques, and met Chen Sicheng's gaze.

He nodded, still chewing on a fried dumpling filled with beef, and did not reply.

After confirming, Chen Sicheng's smile widened.

"Hello, hello, I'm actor and director Chen Sicheng, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

This scene puzzled Mingbei greatly. Logically speaking, he had some fame, but not a very high one.

She has only had one drama aired so far, so strictly speaking, she is still a newcomer.

Although Chen Sicheng is only moderately famous and can be considered a third-tier artist, there's no need for him to be so proactive!

Or has someone found out about my background?

But if that were the case, the news would have reached my ears long ago.

"I know Baoqiang very well. I heard you're preparing a suspenseful comedy film?"

Soon, Chen Sicheng revealed the truth, stating that he obtained the information from Bao Qiang.

It was only then that Mingbei remembered that he and Baoqiang had a very good relationship, the kind of brotherhood without any familial ties.

Bao Qiang has already agreed to act, so Chen Sicheng, as his brother, is naturally likely to have heard the news as well.

"Nice to meet you!"

Mingbei swallowed his food, wiped his mouth, and shook hands with him.

"I've long heard that Director Chen is a man of exceptional talent, and meeting him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

When he heard Mingbei address him as Director Chen, Chen Sicheng's lips curled up slightly.

He actually prefers the behind-the-scenes role of a director to that of an actor.

The ratings for "Love Story in Beijing" were actually quite good, and he became famous overnight because of it.

However, after he heard from Baoqiang that Mingbei suddenly wanted to make a suspense comedy, he had a strange feeling.

It felt as if something that originally belonged to me was about to leave me completely.

Film is also a field that Chen Sicheng has always wanted to enter.

But he's still in the early stages of his career, having just established himself in the television industry, so he's not planning to enter the film industry anytime soon.

I never expected that there would be someone even crazier than him!

A college sophomore, a twenty-year-old young man, dares to do such a thing?

In light of this, Chen Sicheng subtly inquired about Mingbei's background from Bao Qiang.

Baoqiang had no idea about Mingbei's background; he only knew that he had secured most of the investment for the film.

There will also be investments from some well-known celebrities, including Liu Yifei.

This made Chen Sicheng even more curious about Mingbei.

I was originally thinking of asking Baoqiang to help me make an appointment to see if there would be a chance to meet.

I never expected to run into you at the airport!

Sure enough, the VIP lounges at Shanghai's airports are frequented by some famous people!

"No way, compared to Director Ming, I'm far inferior!"

Upon hearing Mingbei's praise, Chen Sicheng appeared humble.

"I've heard Baoqiang give me a rough outline of the plot. Can we sit down and talk about it?"

"Of course!"

Mingbei smiled slightly, then gestured for the people from the company opposite to stand up and move to another seat to make room for them.

There are plenty of other locations nearby, just pick one of the others.

"Come on, Ya Ya, sit here too!"

Chen Sicheng called Tong Liya, who was behind him, over and greeted her as well.

However, Tong Liya seemed a bit reserved.

One reason is that Mingbei is indeed quite dazzling, so handsome that even girls might feel a little ashamed of themselves.

Furthermore, after watching the entire scene, she felt that Chen Sicheng carried a hint of humility.

It's a bit unlike the spirited and talented person I used to remember.

It's more like how I am when I'm with him.

She was in a subordinate position to Chen Sicheng, while Chen Sicheng appeared to be in a subordinate position to Ming Bei at this moment.

It's as if a food chain has formed.

"Hello, Sister Ya Ya," Ming Bei said with a smile and a nod.

"When I was filming with Shi Shi, she told me about the fun things you guys did together while filming 'The Vigilantes in Masks'!"

That's true; in her spare time, she does share anecdotes from filming.

However, at the time, the focus was more on Brother Hua than on Tong Liya, who had a relatively small role.

But for adults, these kinds of words can bring them closer, so she naturally went along with it.

"Really? I watched it too, Bu Bu. You guys acted so well!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Sicheng changed the subject.

"I heard from Baoqiang that filming for the movie is about to start?"

"Not so fast," Mingbei said with an apologetic smile to Tong Liya.

"The crew isn't even complete yet. This trip to Beijing is to see if we can find a suitable actor!"

"If all goes well, filming will resume after the Lunar New Year..."

Chen Sicheng seemed very interested in the movie; perhaps it touched a nerve.

So the questions kept coming up with details about the movie.

Mingbei chuckled inwardly at this situation, but he could actually understand it.

What he did also made people feel like he was living in the shadows.

The same goes for cell phones, and the same goes for this movie.

It was originally intended to be a work by Chen Sicheng a few years later; the idea might not have even been conceived yet.

But some inexplicable feeling still made him extremely interested in the movie Detective Chinatown.

Looking at Chen Sicheng's enthusiastic expression, Mingbei suddenly had an idea.

After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively began to speak.

"Director Chen is also a director. Why don't you come to my film crew and be my assistant director?"
