After ringing the doorbell, Zhu Chengcheng waited silently, just praying that the people inside could hear the first ring. Anyway, he would not dare to ring it again.
afraid!
I was afraid that any move I made would leave a bad impression on Director Chen.
I was afraid of disturbing others by ringing the doorbell continuously. After all, I was here to deliver gifts.
Huatian Entertainment is not on the same level as Capital Studios. They are so different. What's more, I am a local snake in Guanhai City, and I am even more trembling in front of Director Chen, who has a strong say in Capital Studios.
The door opened quickly, and two strong men in casual clothes opened the door. They were polite, but they had no intention of letting Zhu Cheng in.
"Are you Mr. Zhu Cheng, the vice president of Huatian Entertainment?"
"It's me, it's me. I heard that Director Chen is here and came here specifically to visit..." Zhu Cheng looked at the two people and smiled apologetically: "I said hello before."
The two looked at each other, stepped aside, and clearly divided their duties.
Someone walked around behind Zhu Cheng and said, "Please give me your coat. Someone will help you take care of it. In addition, I will register the gift for you and send it to you and Director Chen after registration."
Another person bent down and brought a pair of slippers very respectfully. When he handed the slippers to Zhu Cheng, he stared at his trouser legs and looked up and down: "Boss Zhu, please change your shoes. It's the rule in Director Chen's house. Please forgive me."
Zhu Cheng did as the two people said, and then, accompanied by one of them, went to the small tea room on the first floor for entertaining guests.
In the living room, Zhu Cheng met the famous Director Chen.
Different from the one who always looks like a suit and tie on TV, Zhu Cheng was a little surprised by Director Chen in reality.
Wearing spacious and comfortable pajamas, he looks older than on TV, but his eyes have exactly the same spirit. It can be seen that he is always much more relaxed at home than when he attends film festivals or press conferences.
At this time, he was sitting on the sofa watching TV. What was playing on the TV was Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin, which he filmed when he was young.
"Director Chen, Boss Zhu is here."
The man stood at the door and reported softly. Zhu Cheng took courage and walked in. He took a few steps forward and extended his hand with a smile.
"Hello, Director Chen! I have admired you for a long time, and now you have finally met the real person!"
Director Chen stood up, smiled kindly, shook hands with Zhu Cheng, and then sat at the tea table: "Boss Zhu, it's quite hard to come all the way from Guanhai."
"It's not hard, we have to collaborate in September. You were troubled by the theme song before, so you should have come here a long time ago."
The strong man outside brought in the gift that Zhu Cheng had brought in. He was polite, and then Director Chen waved his hand, and the two people closed the door and left.
"Drink some tea."
"Thank you, Director Chen."
Director Chen washed and made tea very casually. Zhu Cheng looked at the tea sets and tea pets on the table and praised them profusely.
This is his professional counterpart. He likes to tinker with these things in his spare time.
And he also likes to make tea for people who come to him for business. I don’t know since when, these bosses have to have a tea table and a tea set in their offices.
Director Chen's eyes were as if he could see through people's hearts as he poured tea for Zhu Cheng: "These habits are all passed down from the south. They know how to do business. Especially along the southern coast, every family has a tea table... Ha, it’s good. Drinking tea can keep you healthy. And a lot of tea is also passed down from there.”
Zhu Chengcheng was frightened and held the cup with both hands to thank him. This meant that Director Chen was casual at home, and this casualness also indirectly affected him. Otherwise, in a public place, Zhu Cheng would have to stand up and hold the cup to show respect. .
Seeing him like this, Director Chen's smile became even brighter and he couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of him from the land of Confucius and Mencius, Boss Zhu is so polite."
"It should be."
"Boss Zhu, you don't need to be so polite. We are all working together sincerely for the smooth start of filming of "Spherical Cloud" in September." Director Chen said with a smile: "There are many investors, isn't it Huatian Entertainment who helped contact them? "
"Director Chen is joking. He wants to cooperate with you through me. You are the key...Have all the investors agreed to invest?"
"It's settled, it's settled." Director Chen shook his head gently: "But it's much more difficult for investors to talk these days than before."
Director Chen didn't say clearly which period of time it was before, but it should be referring to the period when the coal boss was an investor.
Those people are really rich, and they just caught up with the trend of an era. How many people became rich overnight?
Director Chen laughed and said: "Investors more than ten years ago did not have as many conditions as they do now. They were promoting this and promoting that. Apart from naming female celebrities to participate in the show and asking us to help support them, there was nothing else. Asked for it.”
Zhu Cheng deeply agreed with this.
Those coal bosses have a deep sense of safety in production, because casual interference in production in coal mines can cause trouble.
"Boss Zhu brought so many things here, shouldn't he just be here to drink tea?" After chatting for a while about the movie in September, Director Chen narrowed his eyes and asked Zhu Cheng with a smile: "I see these things, they are better It’s a double portion.”
When Zhu Cheng heard this, he stopped hiding it and replied very politely: "I was talking to you on the phone before about the theme song of the movie. Didn't you say that it was the original author Qin Wuxiang who made the final decision? As a global civilization, Mr. Qin A writer who has to take time out of his busy schedule to worry about movies. I really admire him for being so dedicated, so..."
Zhu Cheng didn't expect to be introduced to Qin Wuxiang. Today he just wanted to meet Director Chen and gain a good impression of him. In addition, if he could make an impression on Qin Wuxiang through Director Chen, it would be a huge gain.
"So I would like to ask Director Chen to thank Teacher Qin Wuxiang for me, and I would like to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
The words sounded nice, but unexpectedly Director Chen shook his head: "Then I'm afraid Boss Zhu's trip will be in vain."
Zhu Cheng was stunned: "This..."
"To be honest, I haven't met Qin Wuxiang either. We only talked on the phone."
Director Chen expressed regret: "Not just me, no one has seen him. There is not even a photo, which is very strange. The person who can't even find a photo these days is the most..."
Halfway through his words, Director Chen pointed to the ceiling, closed his mouth, and shook his head.
After previously cooperating with Qin Wuxiang on a multi-unit movie with the main theme that was released during the National Day that year, Director Chen tried to check Qin Wuxiang.
But since he heard that not even a single photo of Qin Wuxiang could be found, he quickly asked people to stop their private inquiries.
Just like what he literally said, in this society, if someone doesn't even let you know their photos, there must be some important reason. People like them tend to make guesses and guesses. I'm afraid of myself.
Zhu Cheng was stunned when he heard this and hesitated, not knowing how to describe it accurately.
"I've heard a lot of outrageous rumors about Teacher Qin Wuxiang's private life... So where did these rumors come from?"
"That's the problem. There are many rumors, but not a single photo. The photos they took are all blurry, and many of them are just hype... But Qin Wuxiang never came forward to deny it, which caused the rumors to spread more and more widely. "
To put it mildly, it was a rumor, but everyone knew that the Qin Wuxiang mentioned by those women was himself.
It is so mysterious that only by seeing it with your own eyes and hearing the other person admit it can you be sure it is him. He is indeed worthy of the pen name "Wu Xiang".
"Then..." Zhu Cheng was a little disappointed.
"But Qin Wuxiang's phone number is owned by many people in the circle, and he doesn't mind communicating on the phone."
Director Chen is quite amiable in front of his collaborators, doesn't put on any airs, and is relatively easy to talk to, which is different from what some marketing accounts portray him to be.
What's more, there will be more cooperation with Huatian Entertainment in the future. Huatian Entertainment's new generation artist Fang Nianwei made this old senior see the hard-working spirit of actors in the era of Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom, and he was very pleased and optimistic.
Director Chen naturally likes the vice president of Huatian Entertainment because he loves his family.
So he took out his mobile phone and put on his reading glasses: "Use my phone to call him. Thank you on the phone."
He pointed to the gifts again, "I will keep these thoughts for you, and I will give them to him on the day of the launch ceremony... He told me that he would attend that day."
Then Director Chen's face became a little more solemn and he said: "I can't guarantee whether he will answer the phone or not. If he doesn't answer the phone, there's nothing I can do about it. He and I are in a cooperative relationship and we have to respect others... In addition, if he agrees , so that I can give you his phone number."
Zhu Cheng nodded repeatedly, concentrating and feeling extremely nervous.
Those who can make Director Chen respect from the bottom of his heart can probably be counted on one hand, and Qin Wuxiang is definitely one of them.
He was about to have a phone call with such a being... It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
So under Zhu Cheng's nervous gaze, Director Chen dialed Qin Wuxiang's cell phone number and turned on the speakerphone.
------------------
Qin Feng stretched and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, but yawned and wanted to lie down for a while.
Although the rented house is so big, Qin Feng did spend a lot of money to buy the bed, including many things that he couldn't see the price at all, and he would not be stingy.
Computer configurations, beds, water heaters, etc., these are things that outsiders would not notice at all. He will not save money. Although he is pretending to be poor to hide his identity, he still needs daily enjoyment.
The ingredients in the refrigerator are all high-end ingredients. The beef piled casually in the freezer has no outer packaging. Only an insider can tell that it is high-quality Wagyu beef just by looking at the texture;
That day, Xiao Wang found the delicious mangoes and the cantaloupe that he couldn't put down. What smelled like money was not only the labels and invoices that had been thrown away long ago, but also the quality that was equal to the value.
Just as he was about to take a nap, the phone rang.
He subconsciously took the phone and was slightly stunned, as if the ringtone was not coming from the phone in his hand.
He looked at the bookshelf, reached out and grabbed Qin Wuxiang's dedicated work phone, and looked at the incoming call notification.
"Director Chen's phone number?"
