This is too fantastical.
Chen Feng's first reaction was that it was a scam call.
Would the other party immediately say, "First, transfer me 5000 yuan, buy a plane ticket, and I'll fly over to see you"?
So, Chen Feng replied, "Are you Hua Zai?"
Behind him.
The two people who were eating both paused simultaneously.
They all looked up at Chen Feng.
Who?
Hua Zai?
Which Hua Zai?
Inside the phone.
That indeed very familiar Hong Kong accent said very seriously, "Yes, I am Hua Zai. I know you will be suspicious, because it's hard for you to believe me like this. Actually, we can video call. I also use WeChat."
Chen Feng: "..."
Can even video call?
It wouldn't be a prank, would it?
Is it real or fake?
The key is, this is too outrageous.
Could it be that Hua Zai also watches the variety show "What is an Actor"?
And just happens to like his performance?
And just happens to have time, and wants to be his assisting guest?
How big of a pie would that be, falling right on his head?
Chen Feng was suspicious and couldn't help but say, "Okay, video call. My phone number is my WeChat ID, let's add each other as friends."
"Okay, then I'll hang up first."
After speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
The other party was polite throughout.
It really didn't seem like a prank or a scam call.
At this moment, Rosa's voice came from behind: "Chen Feng, just now I heard you say something about Hua Zai? What's going on? Is Hua Zai in Yanjing?"
Chen Feng looked back at her.
At this moment, Rosa and Tong Gege had both stopped eating.
They were all looking at him.
Chen Feng frowned and slowly said, "Just now, a Hong Kong number called me, saying he was Hua Zai and wanted to be my assisting guest."
"Ah?"
Rosa was startled.
Tong Gege also looked bewildered.
Chen Feng shrugged: "I also think it's nonsense. I just don't know if this is a new scam tactic or if someone is pranking me. Anyway, he said he could video call, so let's video call."
"Let me see."
Rosa immediately stood up and walked to Chen Feng's side.
Tong Gege hesitated for a moment.
After sitting there and pondering for a while, she still couldn't resist her curiosity and also got up and walked to Chen Feng's other side.
The two girls' heads leaned in.
A fragrant breeze surrounded them.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng was not in the mood to pay attention to the two beauties beside him.
On his phone, he had already seen the friend request message.
Chen Feng immediately accepted.
An account with the nickname Hua Zai.
The profile picture was indeed a photo of Hua Zai.
But the account looked like it had just been registered.
Rosa, who was beside him, pouted: "This kind of thing is obviously fake. It's newly registered, probably a scam, not a prank."
As soon as she finished speaking, a video call came through.
Tong Gege, on the other side, said curiously, "It really is a video call. Let's connect."
Chen Feng didn't hesitate either and directly clicked to agree.
Soon, the video connected.
After the other party's video screen appeared, a familiar older man appeared right in the center of the video screen.
At that moment, all three of them gasped.
Oh my god!
It's really Hua Zai?
Rosa and Tong Gege instinctively shrieked, "Ah, it's really Hua Zai!"
"Oh my god, my idol. It's Hua Zai, it's really Hua Zai!"
Chen Feng: "..."
It's really him?
This matter just got even more magical.
Chen Feng himself was also blank-minded.
What's going on?
Could it be that his acting skills already have such a great influence?
To actually make Hua Zai personally call him, condescending to be his assisting guest?
In the video screen.
The aging Hua Zai waved his hand very kindly and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, and two ladies, hello, I am Hua Zai."
"Wow, Hua Zai!"
Rosa's eyes were full of stars, and she jumped with excitement: "Hua Zai, you are my idol. My name is Rosa, can you call me Rosa just once?"
"Hello, Rosa."
Hua Zai was approachable and didn't put on any airs.
Then, Tong Gege also tried her best to maintain a celebrity demeanor, waving her hand very politely: "Teacher Hua Zai, I am Tong Gege."
"Hehe, I know you, Tong Gege, an actress with both acting skills and beauty."
Tong Gege's eyes lit up with a smile as soon as she heard that, and she smiled sweetly at the screen: "Uncle Hua Zai, you are the film emperor in my heart."
"Hehe, you flatter me, you flatter me."
Hua Zai cupped his hands and smiled slightly.
Then he looked at Chen Feng: "Mr. Chen, can you believe that I am Hua Zai now?"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Chen Feng quickly smiled politely: "Teacher Hua Zai, your call... it caught me so off guard. I really, no matter how I think about it, I never imagined you would personally call me."
"I understand, I understand. Then... consider what I said."
Hua Zai said with a smile, "If you don't think I'll hold you back, I'm willing to be your assisting guest this time, how about it?"
"Teacher Hua Zai, if this is real, I don't need to consider it at all."
Although Chen Feng was excited, he wasn't so excited as to lose his mind, because the matter itself seemed strange.
Hua Zai?
He had nothing to do with him.
Why would he suddenly want to be his assisting guest?
Moreover, how did he know that he hadn't found an assisting guest yet?
Chen Feng looked at Hua Zai in the video suspiciously: "Teacher Hua Zai, may I ask, how did you know about me? Do you also watch "What is an Actor"?"
"Yes, I watch it too."
Hua Zai nodded frankly: "I watched from the first competition all the way through, and saw all your competition footage."
Chen Feng asked doubtfully, "Then how did you know I haven't found an assisting guest yet?"
"This..."
Hua Zai hesitated for a moment.
His hesitation further confirmed Chen Feng's guess.
Someone definitely helped.
Who has such great influence that they could get Hua Zai to show up and help?
It couldn't be Jiang Wen, could it?
Although he has some standing in the industry, he probably couldn't persuade Hua Zai, and besides, they probably don't have much connection, do they?
Who is it?
He couldn't think of anyone.
Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Hua Zai, just tell me directly. Who asked you for help? I guess you didn't come to me on your own initiative."
"Hehe."
Hua Zai chuckled: "Clever young man. However, don't ask, I won't tell you even if you ask. Now, I just want to ask you, are you interested in having me as your assisting guest?"
Chen Feng: "..."
As he hesitated, Rosa and Tong Gege, standing on either side, almost instinctively reached out and pushed him.
Such a good opportunity, why hesitate?
Who cares who helped.
Wouldn't it be better to agree first?
That's Hua Zai!
Chen Feng didn't hesitate for too long, just pondered for a moment before nodding: "Teacher Hua Zai, I am deeply honored that you can be my assisting guest. And I don't know how to thank you enough."
"No need to thank me. It's good that you agreed."
Hua Zai waved at Chen Feng with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this matter is settled. In three days, I will go to Yanjing. We can talk more when we meet, okay?"
"Okay."
Chen Feng also nodded: "Then see you in three days."
"Alright, goodbye, Mr. Chen, and two beautiful ladies."
"Goodbye, Teacher Hua Zai."
"Goodbye, my idol uncle."
The video call ended.
Chen Feng let out a long breath and looked around.
Tong Gege and Rosa both looked at him with strange expressions.
Today's events truly felt a bit fantastical.
