Chapter 292 Half My Charm
When the plane landed in Hong Kong Island, the sky was already filled with night.
Rest first and continue shooting tomorrow.
Although they had just arrived, the filming was already ready, and Bale had already followed the crew who had gone ahead.
After arranging the hotel, Chen An went out.
I took a taxi. Hong Kong Island is not big, so we arrived at the destination in no time.
A hotel I've been to before.
When I opened the door, Fang Long and Yu Jinghong were already waiting inside.
There were also a few young people, two men and three women, who greeted Chen An when he came in under Fang Long's guidance.
"Hello, Director Chen!"
"."
Chen An looked at them, smiled and nodded.
It was a familiar combination with only one different person. Chen Guanxi was still there, and the other one was replaced by Wu Yanzu, who greeted Chen An with a smile. The two had met before at the Golden Horse Awards.
The woman Chen An also knows the famous models Gillian Chung, Zhang Baizhi and the daughter of the gambling king, He Chaoyi.
"Brother, you're making it so intense. I feel a little embarrassed." Chen An said with a smile as he closed the door.
Sat between Fang Long and Yu Jinghong.
Looking at the champagne in Yu Jinghong's glass next to him, he picked it up and took a sip to quench his thirst.
Fang Long narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying with a laugh: "Young people all regard you as their idol. If they want to get to know me, I can't refuse. Director Chen, don't be angry."
As he said this, he picked up the wine glass and was about to pour the wine. Chen An stretched out his hand to stop him, saying that he should drink less at his age.
"Why are you and I angry? It's more fun with more people. I know all of them."
Chen An shook his head and smiled, "I just don't understand why you all want to introduce them to me. I've already known them. For example, I met Yan Zu at the Golden Horse Awards."
Boss Yang of Emperor Entertainment Group also took great pains. After Zhang Guorong came, even Fang Long came.
Wu Yanzu smiled and said, "Indeed, I had the honor of meeting Director Chen there."
The first time we met was such a earth-shattering event. I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck.
Fang Long laughed heartily upon seeing this: "It's good that we know each other, hahaha!"
He is also very optimistic about Wu Yanzu. They starred in "New Police Story" together this time and he was very satisfied with the performance of this young man.
Now the Hong Kong circle is preparing to move north in a big way. Fortunately, the older generation can still hold up their reputation, but the younger generation still needs support. If they can get Chen An's approval, then they will be safe!
Yu Jinghong didn't say anything, just looked at Chen An quietly. He didn't show any expression. It seemed that these girls were not in his eyes.
"Hello, Director Chen. It's a rare honor to meet you. I'd like to toast you."
Seeing that Chen An didn't react and was still smiling, Zhang Baizhi spoke first.
He was very generous and drank a glass of wine directly.
Chen An nodded in response and took a sip of wine, "Zhang Baizhi, right? I remember your acting skills in "The King of Comedy" were very good at a young age."
He did know the other person, but not through the movies.
"Thank you Director Chen for the compliment. That was also Director Zhou Xingchi's good teaching. I was scolded a lot at that time."
After drinking, Zhang Baizhi smiled and was not affected at all. It seems that the legendary nightclub queen is real.
Then several young actors started talking for a while, and Chen An kept the same tone, praising this and that.
It doesn’t cost money to praise people anyway.
I feel that this photography genius looks arrogant but he is actually very polite when he speaks.
However, Chen An talked the most about Wu Yanzu. "Yanzu, you have decent talent, but I heard from the media that you studied architecture before, right?"
"Ah, yes. Later, my sister recommended me to be a model. Then, unexpectedly, Yang Fan was invited by a director to act in a movie, and that's when I started learning acting."
Wu Yanzu nodded and smiled as he recounted what had happened.
I originally wanted to develop a career in the construction industry, but later my sister persuaded me to become a model to earn some extra money. I was accidentally selected and inexplicably embarked on the road of performing arts. Damn, being handsome is important.
Chen An took a sip of wine, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang Long, this is what you call it. This is the treatment for handsome people. If I hadn't studied photography to become a director, I would have come to Hong Kong Island to have a look!"
Faced with Chen An's joke, Fang Long couldn't help but laugh and retorted: "What you said is true. Brother, I was also a handsome guy back then. I also looked handsome in the movies when I was young!" He actually didn't care about being scolded for his looks when he was young and not being able to become famous. Now thinking about it, he was really angry.
Fortunately, I found my own way and achieved success.
Now I don't care anymore.
After a few people chatted and laughed, several young people also discovered that Chen An, the young top mainland boss, did not seem to be as irritable as the rumors said. He overturned the Golden Horse Awards table without saying a word, making the previous selection a joke!
Although Chen An didn't chat with them much, they did chat a few words when they met.
In addition to Wu Yanzu and Chen An getting along well, Fang Long was quite happy, after all, these were young people he brought here specially.
Yu Jinghong was a little tipsy when drinking with Chen An, Fang Long asked, "How many days do you plan to stay? Let me take good care of you."
"I can't stay for a few days. I have to go back to the mainland as soon as the filming of Batman is finished. People have been urging me to do it. The space agency is almost calling me. I can't afford to delay."
"The Martian, right? The news reached Hong Kong Island before filming even started."
Chen An nodded. This year's two works tied him up and connected him seamlessly.
Fang Long's intention was exposed. "Is there a chance for them to have a cameo appearance? They all hope to have a chance to star in Director Chen's movie."
Chen An already knew the other party's intention, but he didn't get angry. He refused right away, "No need. The filming conditions there are very difficult. It would be hard to run up there and show a shot."
This is how it is at the dinner table. Only after you have had a good drink and chatted well can you talk about things. Chen An understood this when he first met those people.
Fang Long may have this idea, but it is mainly the people who approach him who have this idea.
Chen An didn't care about the person behind him, but Fang Long Chen An still gave him face. He always remembered that the other party was willing to star in his movie for a low pay.
"But." Chen An said with a grin, "Brother Fang Long, you and Jing Hong are going to guest star in Batman anyway, why not let Yan Zu guest star in it? It's not bad to arrange a guest star scene."
There happened to be a role for Chen Guanxi, so it would be nice to have Wu Yanzu play the role.
"Okay then, thank you Director Chen for your help, hahaha."
Although the deal didn't go through, it's not bad to have Wu Yanzu guest-star as Batman, and Fang Long is still very happy that he brought Wu Yanzu here himself.
I also understand why Chen An chose Wu Yanzu.
Chen An looked at Wu Yanzu who was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "No pay, how is it, Yanzu?"
"No problem. The pay for being able to star in Director Chen's movie is not important anymore."
Wu Yanzu's brows relaxed and he nodded happily.
"Hahaha, that's great. Come with Brother Fang Long tomorrow."
Chen An nodded and said with a smile.
Although he has been surrounded by good things since he became successful, everyone likes to hear good things, and Chen An is no exception.
When I came, I took a taxi, and when I left, Fang Long personally arranged for someone to take me back.
"You are such a great director. Everyone has to give you face and rush to meet you."
Being held in Chen An's arms, Yu Jinghong said softly.
I'm very satisfied with what I just consumed. It seems that the other party is not messing around in Hollywood.
Chen An, who was a little tipsy at first, now looked sober. "What's the use? I don't want to bother with it. They must be looking for someone if they want to go north. It makes sense for them to look for me."
"It's just that they don't know that I was blocking the way, and they just happened to find me. Sometimes I even want to laugh!"
Chen An picked up a bunch of the other person's hair and swirled it around in circles, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
"So you still agree?"
Yu Jinghong knew that Chen An had never been involved in the Hong Kong circle, so she didn't understand why he agreed to let Wu Yanzu make a cameo appearance.
"It's very simple. After chatting for a while, I knew that he was brought here by Fang Long. I don't give face to people who ask him to come here to help, but I am willing to give him face." Chen An turned his head and looked at the other person's eyes full of spring water and said, "Although I am blocking the way, it is also good for some people to accept him. He looks half as charming as me and has good qualifications. What's wrong with giving him a chance?"
Yu Jinghong burst out laughing and covered his mouth, "Yes, yes, you are the most charming, so pretty, women flirt with you wherever you go."
"You don't believe it? Then I'll show you later."
"Okay, I'll show you right away!"
