Chapter 279 Funeral (Thanks again for the votes brothers!)

January 2004, .

The sky in Hong Kong Island today is a bit gloomy.

Funeral of a Hong Kong Islander's daughter in the morning.

Countless media and fans who were watching and giving gifts surrounded the entire venue.

It’s a sad day for them, but also a day for the All-Stars to shine.

Almost all Hong Kong artists were present, both old and new generations.

Everyone was dressed in black, including Chen An, except that he only wore a black suit.

"It's Chen An!"

"It's really him. I didn't expect he would really come!"

"Even this big mainland director has come over, she must be very happy!"

"."

Chen An's appearance caused a lot of discussion among the media. They were a little surprised but not confused.

Because it had already been reported by the media, she asked her good friend Zhang Guorong to invite Chen An, her favorite director, to come at the last minute.

I just didn't expect the other party to actually agree.

As soon as Chen An got off the car, he attracted everyone's attention.

Wearing sunglasses, he glanced at the fans and media present, and could see the resentful looks of some Taiwanese media towards him.

With a raised corner of his mouth, Chen An waved at them with interest.

I just like the way you guys are angry but can’t get rid of me.

Then he turned and entered the field.

As he entered the venue, Chen An heard some faint sobbing sounds.

Although she had told her friends before not to be sad at my funeral but to be happy instead, some things cannot be just said.

He didn't come early, and there were already quite a few people inside.

I saw many familiar stars in it, it’s more complete than the Golden Horse Awards, so it means your gold content is not good!

The four kings of "The Rise of Sky" who were very well-matched together were all present, including big brother Fang Long. Almost everyone who could come from Hong Kong Island was there, and the scene was spectacular.

Walking around some young actors, such as those selling clothes and those who are into photography, I don’t know whether the queens and princesses from the mainland or Hong Kong Island are also here. I took a closer look and saw Zhang Guorong in the crowd.

The corners of his eyes were still slightly red and wet. He held a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't smoke it. His face was full of sadness and regret.

Chen An's sudden arrival attracted everyone's attention. Chen An took off the sunglasses on his nose and hung them on his collar.

He casually glanced at the people who were looking over.

"Director Chen, you're here. Thank you for coming."

Zhang Guorong was full of gratitude when he saw Chen An arrive as promised.

"It's nothing. You called me, so of course I had to come. And she said she was my fan, so of course I had to come and see her off." Chen An said that this was not necessary.

It was the other party who asked me to come here, just like when he invited me to dinner.

Just talking about my relationship with her, we are not even acquaintances.

Feeling the sad atmosphere at the scene, Chen An said nothing more and strode towards Zhang Guorong in front of him.

I don’t know if it was because Chen An, with his brows slightly frowned, had too strong aura or what, but everyone who was blocking the road made way!

Almost everyone present knew him, especially about the Golden Horse Awards. They knew he had a bad temper, so they decided to give him some space.

"How many nights have you not slept?"

Chen An walked over and patted the other person's shoulder. Looking at the severe dark circles under his eyes and the fatigue that could not be concealed, he probably didn't get much rest.

Zhang Guorong shook his head: "It's okay, there is a break."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Chen An didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't stop him anyway.

Chen An didn’t know many people, so he chatted with a few of them, and of course he mainly chatted with Fang Long.

The event ended quickly. Chen An had arrived late and was only there to attend the event. He planned to leave immediately after it was over. But he was stopped before he left.

"Director Chen, won't you stay a moment?" Zhang Guorong tried to persuade him to stay, but Chen An hurried over and was about to leave in a hurry.

"No, I'll be waiting for you in Beijing. I have a big project."

Chen An shook his head and smiled.

I just came here temporarily and don't plan to stay long as I have a lot of things to do.

"There are quite a few good young people here in Hong Kong Island. I would like to introduce you to some of them."

At this time, Zhang Guorong also wanted to introduce some younger generations to Chen An to help him get to know him.

Chen An smiled and said, "Are you talking about those two arrogant guys and those little girls?"

"Yes, you should have seen it just now." Zhang Guorong nodded.

After he said that, Chen An wanted to laugh even more. It's okay, but he was killed by that photographer. It's no use looking for me.

"No need, Zhang Sheng. They all have strong backgrounds, so why should I get to know them? They are so picky. Besides, I am willing to come here only because you asked me to, just like when I attended that dinner party."

Chen An refused without thinking and told the other party the truth.

Zhang Guorong had a worried look on his face and a wry smile. Chen An's words fell into his heart, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

It is probably unlikely that this young man in front of us can support the young people in Hong Kong Island.

"By the way, I remind you again to take good care of yourself, otherwise all your previous efforts will be in vain. Your project is not yet completed, and I, your black-hearted boss, am very worried."

"Um"

Zhang Guorong nodded, understanding that the other party was just joking and wanted him to take good care of himself.

"Besides," Chen An looked at the other person and said with a worried look, "I have a new project. I have estimated the initial funding to be 50 million US dollars. I will see whether to increase it later. I plan to ask you to be the male lead. Do you want to star in my movie?"

Zhang Guorong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, this time I am looking forward to breaking the box office record of Titanic in the Mainland. You are the male lead I have my eyes on, so you should keep in good shape."

"I try my best."

A rare smile appeared on Zhang Guorong's originally sad face.

He had always wanted to star in Chen An's movie, but unfortunately he never had the chance. Unexpectedly, the other party found him at this time.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

After saying everything he needed to say, Chen An patted the other person's shoulder, put on his sunglasses again, and left without looking back.

Zhang Guorong looked at the other person's back, which was straight and vigorous, and suddenly he was a little infected and felt a little better.

After Chen An left, a group of people surrounded him.

"How is Mr. Zhang?" asked Emperor Entertainment Group's boss Yang curiously.

Although Chen An and the Golden Horse champion had a big fight, most people in Hong Kong Island didn't feel anything. It was quite interesting to watch, and they also got to see the other party's strength.

The people behind the Golden Horse Awards had no way to deal with the other party and were laughed at by the mainland media and audiences for a long time.

Moreover, the other party is also very powerful and has a direct access to Hollywood. Now that Hong Kong Island is seeking to move north, Chen An is a very good choice.

Zhang Guorong looked at the people in front of him, especially the young ones that Ah Mei was taking care of, and shook his head and said:

"As expected, he refused. But he did look at you guys and praised you two for being so cool. It was quite interesting."

Chen Guanxi and Yu Wenle, who were mentioned, lowered their heads in embarrassment.

But it was just a pretense. Chen Guanxi didn't care at all. His resources had always been good, so he didn't need to know the other party.

"It seems that I thought too much. The other party came here specially today and thought we could have a chat."

Boss Yang shook his head. It seemed that this road was not going to be easy.

Zhang Guorong didn't say anything. He knew the reason why Chen An came, but there was no need to say it out loud.

What I wasn’t thinking about was the project that Chen An mentioned.
