So what if I work with celebrities?

Xu Zan's first thought was Zhang Aijia, but she saw her not far away learning how to take photos from a photographer.

Could it be Hu Huizhong? Considering the recent gossip, this young lady might lose her composure.

But when they saw the hotel name written on the note, they realized who it was.

But Lin Qingxia's relationship is still far from settled, how could she possibly be his lover? He looked at Xiao Hei with suspicion.

Ke Shouliang reacted quickly, knowing that the boss didn't know which mistress it was. Just as he was about to come over and ask who it was, he saw Zhang Aijia come over with a fruit platter to feed Xu Zan.

"What should we do?"

"Will saying this offend Sylvia Chang?"

"Will the boss be unhappy if I don't tell him?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hei came up with a plan and whispered, "Boss, someone from Hong Kong wants to talk to you about work."

Sylvia Chang stopped what she was doing and asked curiously, "Xiao Hei, who is that? Are they making a movie?"

"This, this... it's..." Ke Shouliang stammered, sweating profusely. "It's that... what's it called again... um..."

"What? It's not some girl looking for Brother Zan, is it? Why are you stammering? Just say it straight!" Zhang Aijia fed Xu Zan a piece of watermelon and took a bite herself.

She didn't care about other people's opinions; after all, she was known in the Taiwanese film and television industry for her love of romance.

If you love someone, go for it; love them first, then worry about the consequences.

"No, it's just that someone really wanted to talk to Brother Zan about work, not Lin..." Xiao Hei saw the boss's look and wisely stopped talking.

"Lin?" Zhang Aijia turned to look at Xu Zan, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Is it Lin Fengjiao?"

Xu Zan knew this was intentional, after all, she had only met Lin Fengjiao a few times. She was still working at Ma's Film Company, and her fame was just beginning to rise; she hadn't yet reached the top tier.

For Xu Zan, Lin Fengjiao possesses a rustic beauty, unlike Zhang Aijia or Brigitte Lin, who appear more fashionable.

Sylvia Chang went to study in the United States at a young age, and her thinking was greatly influenced by hippies. Her behavior style was closer to that of Western girls. Especially after returning to the island, she was disciplined at a church school.

The product of the fusion of the devil and the angel.

Although Brigitte Lin did not study abroad, her family lived a relatively comfortable life from a young age, and she did not experience much hardship. Unlike Lin Fengjiao, who started working at a young age as a backup dancer in a dance hall.

She was discovered by Wang Xinglei and entered the film industry, so she lacks the temperament of a modern city girl.

There have always been rumors that the Ma brothers are favoring her, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not. Therefore, Xu Zan has never provoked her, since there's no reason to make an enemy of her.

However, none of the films invested in by the Ma brothers were big hits, and Lin Fengjiao's rise to fame was due to the favor of the famous director Li Xing. As for whether the Ma brothers made any efforts during that time, Xu Zan did not know.

"Alright, let's get back to filming!" Xu Zan didn't want to continue this topic and ordered the crew to get to work.

As everyone was heading back to their posts, he secretly pinched Zhang Aijia's butt, and the girl turned around and pouted angrily.

Filming for "The Eight Hundred Heroes" took two months, and all departments have aligned their work on the required granularity. Xu Zan also understands how to control the pace of a war film.

These are valuable experiences gained through spending money, so that we won't be caught off guard when making war movies in the future.

Who knows, they might be able to film some large-scale war movies or period war movies when they return to the mainland in the future.

Mainland China...

Xu Zan naturally saw no good news in Taiwan; according to the newspapers, it was no different from... hell.

Moreover, arts and culture have not only failed to progress, but have actually regressed by nine years. Just think about the changes in the film industry over those nine years!

So much so that a later film like "Romance on Lushan Mountain," which was considered very outdated in Taiwan, became a nationwide sensation in mainland China.

If I remember correctly, the film that truly opened up the mainland market was "New Dragon Gate Inn," and it was only then that the mainland market was truly valued by the Hong Kong film industry.

Therefore, we must mention another capable person, Wu Siyuan, who always manages to stir up a storm.

As soon as the crew of "The Eight Hundred Heroes" finished get off work, Xu Zan was besieged by reporters at the entrance of the film set.

"Director Hsu, could you tell us about your relationships with Hu Huizhong, Sylvia Chang, and Brigitte Lin?"

"I heard that the little gangster from Beilian is your childhood friend?"

"Are you toying with the feelings of female celebrities, or are you using your power to sexually harass them?"

"Some people say that you even tried to sexually harass Li Lihua back then?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zan wanted to jump up and beat up these reporters. Li Lihua was born in 1924 and is now fifty-two years old.

Although most female celebrities are well-maintained, Hsu Tsan is not so desperate as to be indiscriminate in her choices.

"These are all baseless speculations by petty people. I know that magazine is spreading rumors and causing trouble. Panda Entertainment will hire a professional legal team to sue any media outlets that spread rumors about me and demand that they publish an apology!"

The answer was very high-sounding, but how many journalists are afraid of going to court?

"The public has the right to know about public figures; it's not a matter of privacy. You should participate in the self-regulation movement initiated by the Film Association," the reporter said with a smile, adjusting his glasses.

"But the matter to be announced should be work-related, not a personal relationship issue. Moreover, several popular female stars are involved. This kind of baseless rumor is just for the sake of magazine sales, which is too despicable."

Xu Zan knew very well that public opinion sometimes doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; the earth is round, and one day it will backfire on him.

"Director Xu, I remember when you visited the set of 'Water Clouds,' was Qin Han's wife really on set?"

"Well, I don't know much about this. I was a newcomer back then and didn't know many people. Plus, I have face blindness and can't remember what people look like," Xu Zan said. "But there was a pregnant woman present."

Xu Zan didn't want to linger any longer, so he had Xiao Hei and several martial arts instructors clear a path for him, and then he led Zhang Aijia and the others into the car and left.

Once on the main road, Zhang Aijia nestled in Xu Zan's arms. "Brother Zan, what are you afraid of? What can't we say about dating?"

She couldn't resist teasing Xiao Hei, "You still haven't told me, who is this Lin?"

Ke Shouliang hunched his neck and pretended to be asleep, snoring loudly, but his ears were perked up to listen to the sounds behind him.

Xu Zan touched her stockings. "She's a friend of mine, also named Lin Fengjiao. She's a stuntman and wanted to ask if I could act in a movie!"

"Huh? A man? How can a man have such a name?" Zhang Aijia didn't believe it at all.

"Really, he's quite famous. He used to hang out with Bruce Lee!"

Zhang Aijia had no idea and planned to extract the answer that night, but she couldn't take it in the bathtub. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and hid in the guest room, refusing to open the door no matter what.

Xu Zan checked the time; it was midnight. After thinking for a moment, she made the call. It took about half an hour for the call to be answered.

"Feed? I'm Xu Zan."

"Ha~" Brigitte Lin yawned, "Brother Zan, you're back? You must be tired."

"Sigh, I don't know anyone in Hong Kong. It's so boring. I'm either filming or staying in the hotel every day."

At this moment, the door to the guest room opened a crack, and Zhang Aijia secretly listened to the phone call, but Xu Zan's voice was very soft. She pretended to go to the kitchen to get a drink of water, but she still couldn't hear him very clearly.

She finally opened her arms, her pajamas slipped down, she kicked them off with her feet, lay down on the sofa, and kissed...

"Brother Zan, Qin Han and I are really not like what you think. There's nothing between us. It's all just magazine rumors."

Lin Qingxia spoke hurriedly, when she heard a strange voice coming through the microphone, "Brother Zan? Are you alright?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I have a cat that's in heat for some reason. It's lying there whimpering, it's so annoying." Xu Zan patted Zhang Aijia's hair.

"Oh, what kind is it? Don't throw it away when I get back, okay?" Lin Qingxia said with a smile.

"A hairless cat!" Xu Zan said, glancing down at the cat's fair skin.
