Chapter 211 Chen An: Zhang Guorong? !
"I'll be the director?!" Chen Wei felt a little confused.

Even the cooking spoon in his hand fell down.

Chen An immediately caught it and put it back into the pot, then said, "That's right, Jiang Wen will be the lead actor, and I will write the script. It's a good opportunity for you to learn from him."

"Same as Director Diao?" Chen Wei asked without hesitation.

He knew about Diao Yinan's affairs; he had heard about it from Chen An.

What it means is to make yourself a tool like him.

"That's right. It's an opportunity after all. You go and try it first. I'll find someone else to take care of the shooting here this time." Chen An said after thinking for a while.

It's a good opportunity anyway.

Chen Wei fell silent after hearing this. Suddenly, an opportunity to become a director was presented to him. He was a little dazed for a moment.

Of course it’s not because he is just a tool like Diao Yinan, he doesn’t care about these things.

I just wanted to be a director.

Seeing that the other party began to remain silent, Chen An patted his shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully first. I will cook the remaining dishes."

Then he sent the somewhat dazed Chen Wei out of the kitchen and took over the next job.

Yu Jinghong and the other two also noticed that Chen Wei, who seemed a little absent-minded, came out and walked silently beside the table.

Originally, he just wanted to be Chen An's exclusive photographer, and this time, Chen An's graduation work was also his first important task.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly be asked to be a director? He had never thought about it before.

"What's wrong, Brother Wei?" Zeng Li, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.

Why did it suddenly become like this? What did the two of them talk about in the kitchen?

Chen Wei shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing, just thinking about something."

"Did he tell you about the director's matter?" Jiang Wen guessed what it was about and asked directly.

"Yeah, I'm confused for a moment." Chen Wei nodded.

It felt a bit out of his plan, as he had been acting according to it since the beginning.

He trained himself step by step from the Beijing Film Studio to become a qualified photographer worthy of Chen An.

Now he finally had the opportunity to officially serve as the other party's main photographer, and he was asked to be the director, which made him a little confused.

"What's there to be confused about? Let's try it first. It's not like he won't make movies in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities for photography." Jiang Wen seemed to have seen an incredible existence.

You guys from the photography department must be ecstatic about becoming directors, so why is it like this?

Even if Zhang Yimou didn't say anything, even Gu Changwei would be extremely happy when he saw it.

Jiang Wen saw that he had the same idea.

But Yu Jinghong and Zeng Li pricked up their ears curiously. What director?
What kind of director did Chen An ask Chen Wei to be?
When Chen An brought out the dishes, he saw the two women looking at him with curiosity.

After placing two dishes on the table, the two women came over to ask questions.

Chen An also explained the situation to the two of them, just thinking of sending them both in.

Especially Zeng Li felt that she had nothing to do every day and was slacking off all day.

"Okay, it's settled. Don't think about it. I'll write the script when the time comes, and you and Brother Jiang will be responsible for it." Chen An finally patted Chen Wei on the shoulder.

The matter was settled, and Chen Wei nodded and agreed.

Jiang Wen was also very happy. Things were settled and he came at the right time today.

With this interruption, the two women's focus was diverted.

A few days later, "Looking for the Gun" was officially released.

It just happens to coincide with the upcoming release of "Hero".

The other film was released when it was taken off the screen, so neither of them could touch each other.

After all, the other party's current publicity can be described as crazy. When Chen An promoted "Time and Space Clues", his ability was only half of the other party's.

Zhang Weiping's publicity can be said to be in full swing, although he has not achieved the same results as Chen An in terms of rumors abroad.

But the publicity was not exaggerated at all. The advertising fee for the CCTV trailer alone was estimated to be over 5 million. A premiere was held before the release.

Chen An, the screenwriter, producer and investor, was naturally present.

The media were also very curious about what this work, written by Chen An and starring Jiang Wen, was like and won the Cannes Golden Camera Award by a new director.

Although not many stars were invited, there were still quite a few reporters gathered.

They have been looking forward to this movie for a long time.

But there was one person who came in that Chen An was not expecting. He actually saw Zhang Guorong?!
Why is he here? !
Zhang Guorong's appearance also surprised everyone present.

"You called?" Chen An asked Jiang Wen curiously.

Jiang Wen nodded. "He has been in Beijing recently. I heard that he is receiving treatment in the hospital. I thought you two could be considered to have cooperated before, so I invited him."

Jiang Wen still admired Zhang Guorong who stole the role from him. He thought of giving it a try and unexpectedly the other party agreed.

Chen An was a little confused. Had the other party received treatment in Beijing?
Why don't you remember?
Zhang Guorong's appearance also brought the atmosphere to a climax.

There was a lot of cheering at the scene, as they didn't expect to see this Hong Kong superstar again.

"Director Chen, long time no see." Zhang Guorong greeted Chen An politely when he walked in front of him.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Mr. Zhang. Thank you for your support."

Although a little surprised, Chen An still said with a smile.

Afterwards, Zhang Guorong chatted with Jiang Wen for a few more sentences. The two actually knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other.

Still inferior to Chen An and Zhang Guorong.

After entering, Chen An asked curiously, "I've been abroad for so long that I didn't even know that Zhang Sheng was still in Beijing. Why didn't you notify me when you came so that I could treat you to a meal, just like in Hong Kong Island."

"My stomach problems are getting worse. I heard that the hospital in Beijing is the best in Asia, so I came here to try it. The results are pretty good."

Zhang Guorong said with a smile.

Chen An also knew that one of the reasons why the other party suffered from depression was because of stomach problems.

"Then you need to pay more attention and get more treatment. Zhang Sheng's health is more important."

"Thank you for your concern, but Director Chen, I plan to develop in the mainland. I wonder if you will welcome me?"

"Welcome, of course you are welcome. It's not just me. Your fans in mainland China will definitely welcome you too."

Although Chen An was a little surprised by what Zhang Guorong said, he thought it through.

Maybe this is the butterfly effect created by my own existence.

The release of "My Sassy Girl" and "A Clue" has made everyone see the potential of the mainland market today.

It cannot be compared with the declining Hong Kong Island and the always-not-so-good Taiwan.

Moreover, with Hollywood movies rampant in Southeast Asia, the dominance of Hong Kong films is also declining.

It’s no longer what it used to be.

The two of them did the same and found a place to sit down.

Zhang Guorong then said, "Then I hope we can have a chance to work together. I want to develop into a director now, and Director Chen is one of the best directors in the country. I also hope to learn from him."

After hearing what Zhang Guorong said, Chen An roughly understood that this was directed at me.

However, I can’t even imagine being able to bring Zhang Guorong into the company.

And I remember that his directing ability was pretty good. He showed great talent in the public service announcement "Smoke and Ashes".

"Mr. Zhang, our company just happened to be thinking of signing a director, but..."

Chen An didn't finish his words.

The two of them are acquaintances, but there are some things that do not require Chen An's special attention.

Although Chen An had a good opinion of him, the other party was not Chen Wei, so he still had to pay some price.

And Zhang Guorong also understood what Chen An meant.
