A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 399 Live Invitation

"Hello, teachers. Hello, teachers. I am Zhang Yixing. Sorry to bother you." After Zhang Yixing came in, he greeted everyone while bowing.

"Oh my god, why are you here?" Huang Bo asked in disbelief, and immediately stood up and hugged Zhang Yixing. "Aren't you very busy lately?"

"I'm quite busy. I just finished shooting a commercial nearby." Zhang Yixing explained, "I brought my team here for dinner. I happened to hear the waiter say that Brother Bo was here, so I came over to check on you. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Why bother you? We're all family." Huang Bo happily patted Zhang Yixing's shoulder, then helped him along and introduced him to everyone, "Come on, let me introduce you guys. This is my younger brother, and he's also the tentative male lead in my movie."

No one present didn't know Zhang Yixing. After all, he is one of the top idol artists in China and a darling of major capitals. They are all in the entertainment industry. It would be unreasonable not to know him.

However, the reason why Huang Bo introduced Zhang Yixing in this way was that he treated Zhang Yixing as one of his own, and he was implicitly telling others that he was now protecting him.

"Guo Xun, he's no worse than your male lead, right?"

"Well, standing next to you, he does look quite handsome." Guo Xun responded to Huang Bo's joke with a smile.

"Come on, ask the waiter to add a seat. We haven't seen each other since we finished taping the show in January. We need to have a good chat today. By the way, I'll introduce you to the directors at the table. Once you get to know them, it'll be easy to borrow any show you want in the future."

Huang Bo grabbed Zhang Yixing's hand and pushed him into his seat.

Chen Jinnian knew that Zhang Yixing was a member of the Men's Gang. Judging from the reactions of the two just now, the relationship between them was indeed very good. It seemed that the rumors that the big brothers personally handed resources to Zhang Yixing were not groundless.

First, Yan Wang personally guided Zhang Yixing to act in the hit drama "Mr. Good", and then Huang Bo guided Zhang Yixing to adjust his performance in front of the big screen. He really did everything he could to help.

Although he is currently a top artist, Zhang Yixing and youdi are actually quite polite. No matter who Huang Bo introduces, they always stand up and greet with a respectful look on their faces, leaving no room for fault.

As expected, artists who can remain popular for a long time all have top-notch hardware and software.

If Huang Bo is top-notch in all aspects except his appearance, then Zhang Yixing is an enhanced version of Huang Bo. Among artists of the same age, he has a talent that is visible to the naked eye.

"This is Guo Xun, Director Guo. You should have met him before." Huang Bo introduced them one by one.

Zhang Yixing quickly apologized, "Director Guo, I'm sorry, my schedule is really not suitable and I can't appear in your film."

That’s right, Guo Xun did invite Zhang Yixing, or in other words, he invited all the popular young artists. It’s not that Guo Xun was overestimating himself by inviting top-tier traffic artists, but it would be easier to raise funds with such artists joining.

The crew of "Shanghai Cannon" who are currently setting up the set have exactly the same idea as Guo Xing's original idea. Without the capital behind Lu Han, Director Teng would not have been able to raise more than 300 million yuan in funds.

"It's okay, it's okay. You have a schedule but I don't have any money." Guo Xun supported Zhang Yixing who was about to bow and apologize. He hadn't even paid Chen Jinnian's salary, so how could he afford to invite Zhang Yixing?

You should know that Chen Jinnian is now the second largest investor in The Wandering Earth. His total investment in funds, remuneration and production costs has exceeded 100 million yuan.

That’s right, Guo Xun is still short of money.

After Zhang Yixing and Guo Yun finished their greetings, Huang Bo turned his attention to Chen Jinnian. However, before Huang Bo could speak, Chen Jinnian took the initiative to introduce himself:

"Hello, Brother Yixing, I'm Chen Jinnian, a student at the Central Academy of Drama. I'm here to see the world today."

"Oh, oh, hello, hello." Zhang Yixing believed it and shook hands with him enthusiastically.

Huang Bo, the bad uncle, watched Chen Jinnian fooling Zhang Yixing with a smile. Not only did he not expose him, but he continued, "How about today's world show?"

"It's okay. Although I haven't seen the world, I have successfully helped other people see it. Alas, I am still too helpful." Chen Jinnian sighed and shook his head, silently picking up the teacup.

Everyone smiled knowingly, but Huang Bo suddenly turned sinister and angrily shouted, "I'm telling you, young people, don't be too impulsive."

Chen Jinnian smiled when he heard that, threw the teacup on the table, leaned back on the chair, and turned slightly to look at Huang Bo, "Aren't you angry enough to call me a young man?"

Zhang Yixing saw a hint of madness in Chen Jinnian's upturned mouth, and his eyes were full of aggression, as if he was choosing someone to devour. Even if those eyes were not directed at him, it was enough to make him shudder.

Chen Jinnian and Huang Bo's eyes were frozen, and the others were watching quietly. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Just when Zhang Yixing couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to intervene, Huang Bo suddenly laughed, "You act better than Yan Wang. He relies on his appearance to play the villain, but you are different. Your evil comes from the inside out."

Chen Jinnian also smiled and said, "I just played a personality freak, and it's still a bit affected. I can't handle it, so I subconsciously use the emotions at that time to replace them."

"You really dare to act. You are not afraid of ruining your image. You won't be able to take on many dramas then." Huang Bo reminded.

Everyone knows that playing a villain is a shortcut, but if given a choice, not many people would challenge this type of role. The better they act, the more harsh the criticism they receive. At the same time, villain roles will also affect commercial performances and endorsements.

Yan Wang is a living example. No matter how famous he is, it is useless because his commercial value is pitifully low.

"Someone has to act, and if I do it myself, I can control the costs."

After he finished speaking, Guo Xun looked at Chen Jinnian seriously, as if they had just met for the first time. "Is your acting so good that you can actually use Huang Bo's acting skills?"

"He was the one who caught my scene, but I almost didn't catch his scene." Huang Bo complained and took a sip of wine to calm his nerves. "The moment he looked at me just now, I felt that he really wanted to finish it. If you don't believe me, feel it, my back is wet. If I wasn't the best actor, the scene just now would have been ruined."

Huang Bo had been drinking today, and he suddenly felt like playing a trick on Chen Jinnian, so he said that line.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jinnian was so unsportsmanlike that he not only took over his role in seconds but also turned the tables on him. He was careless and did not dodge, and was almost overshadowed when he was caught off guard.

"Okay, stop acting." Ning Hao shouted. As a good friend who had worked together for many years, he didn't believe that Huang Bo couldn't take on Chen Jinnian's role, but he was still extremely curious about Chen Jinnian.

There are many people who can act and direct, but among those born in the 90s and 95s, Chen Jinnian is unique.

As a well-known director, he was naturally excited to see good actors in front of him.

Ning Hao asked Chen Jinnian, "We have a realistic drama to shoot next year. I wonder if you are interested."

As soon as the boss spoke, Wen Muye, who was standing aside, instantly became alert. He rubbed his confused head and knew which project Ning Hao was referring to.
