Evening.
Chen Feng returned to Longhu Yihe Villa alone.
Tomorrow, Rosa will go out with Tong Gege and leave Yanjing for a few days.
She will return for the three-way championship competition half a month later.
Before leaving,
Chen Feng expressed his gratitude to Tong Gege.
After all, she was righteous in helping, and even wanted to mobilize her boyfriend to support him, which was very kind of her.
However, Tong Gege was quite embarrassed.
She originally thought her boyfriend was definitely high-caliber, especially in terms of popularity; he surely wouldn't lose to Uncle Heitu and International Zhang, right?
But what happened?
He wasn't needed.
This Chen Feng is simply a mystery.
Even Hua Zai, the film emperor from Hong Kong, personally called him to be his assistant performer.
Although it sounded like someone was secretly helping him,
it still felt incredible.
With Hua Zai there, would he still need Xiaolu?
Even a fool would know how to choose.
He was completely outclassed.
...
Back at Villa No. 8.
Chen Feng took a shower.
Then he returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed, spacing out.
He couldn't figure out who was helping him.
Who had such great influence that they could invite Hua Zai to help?
The key was that when he asked Hua Zai, he was very protective of that person and didn't reveal anything.
This was strange.
Thinking carefully about the people he knew in this life, it seemed there was no one with enough influence to invite Hua Zai.
He was completely bewildered.
After thinking for a long time without success, Chen Feng simply stopped thinking about it.
Sleep.
Anyway, Hua Zai would arrive in three days.
He would talk to him then.
...
Time flew by, and three days passed quickly.
This morning,
Chen Feng had just finished breakfast when he received a call.
It was from Hua Zai.
After their video call, Chen Feng had saved his number.
He had arrived.
Chen Feng was a little excited too.
One must know that even in his previous life, Hua Zai was one of his favorite artists.
Hua Zai's movies had accompanied him throughout his youth.
Therefore, being able to meet Hua Zai, and even have him as his assistant performer, Chen Feng was already very satisfied.
He answered the call.
"Hello, Teacher Hua Zai?"
"Hey, it's me. Mr. Chen, I've already arrived in Yanjing. Oh, Yanjing is already so cool. Haha, Hong Kong is still scorching hot."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Teacher Hua Zai, Yanjing has officially entered autumn. It's cool in the morning and evening, but still hot at noon. Now is the most comfortable time of the year, you've come at just the right time."
"Haha, really? Then... Mr. Chen, do you have time to meet?"
"Of course, I'd be delighted."
"Alright, I'll share an address with you, come over. I'll also introduce you to a friend."
"Okay, I'll head out now."
"Okay, see you later."
He hung up the phone.
Soon, Hua Zai's shared address was sent over.
Chen Feng looked at it; wasn't this the film and television base in the suburbs of Beijing?
It was in Huairou.
He went there.
Meet a friend?
Could it be a director?
Chen Feng felt a bit of anticipation.
...
More than an hour later,
Chen Feng arrived at the Huairou Film and Television Base, following the instructions in Hua Zai's message. He twisted and turned through the base and finally arrived at a shooting location specifically used for explosions.
Before he even got close, he heard a rumbling explosion from ahead.
In an instant, thick smoke billowed.
Good heavens!
So intense?
Just as Chen Feng was looking around, suddenly the window of an SUV not far away rolled down.
"Mr. Chen? Over here."
Chen Feng turned his head to look.
Holy cow!
Hua Zai!
He finally saw him in person this time.
Chen Feng quickly ran over: "Teacher Hua Zai."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Hua Zai was wearing a black jacket and a hat. After showing his face to Chen Feng, he immediately put on his mask and sunglasses again.
Hmm!
He must have come secretly.
No wonder the film and television base was so quiet.
If anyone knew Hua Zai was here, the base would probably already be overflowing with people.
"Come, get in the car."
Hua Zai opened the car door.
Chen Feng immediately got into the car and sat on the other side.
"Teacher Hua Zai, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Chen Feng reached out his hand.
"Ahem, don't be so polite."
Hua Zai smiled and shook Chen Feng's hand, carefully observing him: "Hmm, not bad. You're a bit more sunny in person than on camera."
"Thank you, Teacher Hua Zai."
"Don't keep calling me teacher."
Hua Zai shook his head and smiled: "I know I don't have the qualifications to be a teacher. I feel my acting skills are not as good as yours. They are much worse than many actors in the mainland. So I'm really embarrassed to be called teacher."
"No, no."
Chen Feng quickly shook his head and said, "My calling you Teacher Hua Zai is a sign of respect for you as a person, not just for your acting skills. Teacher Hua Zai is the only person in the entertainment industry I like who lives a relatively real life."
"Lives a real life?"
Hua Zai laughed: "This is the first time I've heard someone describe me that way. To be honest, Mr. Chen, don't respect me too much. Because you don't know what kind of era I came from. When we were young, it was very dark."
"That's why I say Teacher Hua Zai is real. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't tell me such a blunt truth, right?"
"Haha, you rascal."
Hua Zai and Chen Feng exchanged smiles.
Just a few words instantly broke down the unfamiliar atmosphere between the two.
Hua Zai also felt comfortable with Chen Feng's words and actions from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, he was actually speaking his mind.
Ever since he was entrusted to be Chen Feng's assistant performer, Hua Zai specifically went online to watch the first few episodes of What is an Actor.
He carefully watched Chen Feng's performance.
After watching, he came to an astonishing conclusion.
This young man's performance felt like it had no technique; it was purely a kind of natural acting.
But this was illogical.
No matter how amazing Chen Feng was, he couldn't simultaneously possess the attributes of an Addict, a domestic abuser, and a cross-dresser, could he?
Especially the latest episode's cancer patient.
That was definitely acted out.
But the strange thing was here.
Even an old veteran actor like Hua Zai couldn't see Chen Feng's acting techniques.
It felt as if he himself had cancer.
Therefore, Hua Zai actually became curious.
After carefully studying Chen Feng's performances several times, Hua Zai decided to meet him in person.
To truly get to know this mysterious young man.
Today, he finally met him.
From his appearance alone, Chen Feng was similar to most young people who entered the entertainment industry.
He had a sunny and handsome appearance.
He had an advantage in height.
Other than that, there was nothing particularly special about him.
Who would have thought that once he was in front of the camera, his whole person would change?
In addition, the reason Hua Zai asked Chen Feng to meet at the film and television base was also a coincidence: an old friend of his happened to be filming there.
This old friend was Wang Jing.
A famous director from Hong Kong.
He had won the Wan Island Golden Horse Award for Best Director countless times.
Wang Jing and Hua Zai were friends.
The kind who would always help when asked.
Therefore, Hua Zai decided to let this old friend test Chen Feng's mettle.
To see if this young man was a born actor.
