Chapter 139 I'll dig up all the big and small snow for youAfter Chen An arrived, the dishes were served quickly and soon the table was full. "There's no need to have so much, Mr. Huang. It's such a waste." Chen An looked at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, which were obviously not cheap and filled up the entire table. Huang Zhonglei laughed and waved his hands, "It's my first time having dinner with Director Chen, so of course I have to make it look good." Chen An smiled and said nothing more. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Chen An picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and found it tasted really good, so he swallowed it. Huang Zhonglei kept talking, pointing at some dishes and introducing them. Chen An nodded and listened, but Huang Zhongjun frowned. What do you think others are? Bumpkins? Do I need you to introduce a meal to me? He interrupted his brother's endless talk, picked up the wine and clinked glasses with Chen An. Chen An also picked up the glass and took a sip with the other party. "Director Chen, I brought these two artists here today mainly to introduce them to you and to encourage you to have a good impression of them. If Director Chen remembers them and wants to work with them someday, it will be good for them. I hope you don't mind." "Why would I mind? How can I not be happy if you bring two beauties to have dinner with me? But I also have artists under my company, so I have to reserve roles for them. One of them even worked with Mr. Huang before, so I'm grateful for that." Let’s just eat. I just want a female lead, and you can discuss the rest among yourselves. "Hahaha, of course. We did have some cooperation with Miss Zeng under Director Chen, but she was more suitable. We made a lot of money relying on Miss Zeng's popularity. We have to thank her." Huang Zhongjun also said with a smile.
As the last film in Feng Xiaogang's comedy trilogy, Huang Zhongjun originally thought that the audience had grown tired of it and the box office would not be higher than "Party A and Party B". However, who knew that this last film "Never Ending" performed very well, earning 38 million, only lower than "See You Tomorrow". Chen An also knew about this. Zeng Li's first movie after "My Sassy Girl" naturally helped the box office, but he didn't expect it to be five million more than in the previous life. This shows her popularity. The two were also happy to let Feng Xiaogang shoot his art film "A Sigh", but the other party did not get what he wanted. His highly anticipated and painstaking work did not win any awards in China or Europe. Instead, it won the Best Film and some awards at the Cairo Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Africa that no one in China has ever heard of. If Ge Ge finds out about this, he'll probably be very happy. I've been working with you on comedies, but now you're making art films and dumping me. Well, if you don't want to take me with you, I'll find someone else. It's not bad to win the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award. Of course, the movie is good but his expectations are likely to be dashed. Huang Zhongjun didn't think of bringing the two over to replace Yu Jinghong, he just brought them over to meet each other. Of course, it would be better if Chen An couldn't help himself when he saw them, but unfortunately the other party was not that kind of person. "Director Chen, I think the female employee in charge of the team in the script is quite suitable for these two. I just brought her here for you to look for. Since you are the director, it will definitely be easier for you to make the decision." Halfway through the meal, Huang Zhongjun and Chen An, who had been chatting about random things for a long time, finally got to the point. The most important creator and investor of the entire project is naturally Chen An himself. If he agrees, it will basically be a done deal. Except for the male and female protagonists, all other characters in the movie, except the villains, can only be considered supporting roles. It would be good if the only ones with more roles could be squeezed into the group. This is also an opportunity for both of them. No matter what, it is a good thing to appear in Chen An's movie, especially in such a large-scale production in China. After hearing this, Chen An also understood what the other party meant, but he didn't want to intervene. He said that you guys can discuss it yourselves when the time comes. Turning his head to look at the two actresses on his left and right, especially the one on the right, Fan Xuexue, who was so beautiful, he immediately felt that it was not impossible. "Mr. Huang, you are putting me in an unfair position by asking me to choose between the two. It's a difficult decision for me to make." "Director Chen, you're joking. If you're satisfied with both, it would be easy to choose both." Huang Zhonglei said jokingly, with his hands on the table. Chen An shook his head. "I'm afraid that Director Zhang and Director Ren will come to my company and tear us all down." Seeing the other party's comfortable look, smiling and laughing, I will poach them all for you when the time comes. Lighting a cigarette, looking at the two girls and women beside him who were looking at him expectantly, Chen An thought that they were all good employees who could make money, especially Fan Xuexue, and it would be a pity not to poach them. He is capable and motivated, completely different from the salted fish at home. After thinking about it, I said, "Since Mr. Huang brought him here to see me today, let me give you a suggestion. It seems that Xiao Fan is the more suitable person." More suitable to work for me.
When Fan Xuexue heard Chen An's answer "eighteen years old", her joy was beyond words. Her little mouth curled up and her face was full of happiness. Li Xuexue was only briefly disappointed but she quickly covered it up without changing her expression. "Since Director Chen has taken a fancy to her, I will help her get it. Let's have a drink." Huang Zhongjun raised his glass again and clinked it with Chen An through the air. Chen An did not refuse and picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Afterwards, neither side talked about this topic anymore. The happy Fan Xuexue couldn't help but put food into Chen An's bowl. Chen An didn't expect that the 18-year-old Fan Xuexue was so sensible. In the end, there was still more than half of the food on the table. Chen An was already full and left first. After saying goodbye, he and Zhao Xiong went out first. After Chen An left, Huang Zhongjun said to the two of them, "Since he has recommended you, this role is basically yours, Fan Xuexue. As for Li Xuexue, you should continue filming the TV series first." "Okay, Mr. Huang." Li Xuexue nodded, but her face couldn't help but look disappointed. No actress would refuse Chen An's movie. Every heroine he stars in becomes a hit and becomes famous. Even if it's not the case this time, as long as they have worked together before, there may be opportunities in the future. Fan Xuexue looked at Li Xuexue who was a little disappointed and comforted her: "Sister Li, I was lucky this time. You will definitely have a chance next time." The two of them were not in the life-and-death competition that they would be in later. The two of them, who were both new to Huayi, had a pretty good relationship. Huang Zhongjun lit up his last cigarette before leaving and started smoking. Then he said, "Don't think too much. I brought you here today just to try it out. At least I'm happy with my choice this time." "The company has already started preliminary cooperation with him. You will have more opportunities if you follow the company in the future." At this time, Huang Zhonglei also said, "You are lucky this time. We wanted to cooperate with him before but couldn't find an opportunity. He is willing to say it today, which means you are lucky." "Director Chen, didn't you ignore these two people before?" Zhao Xiong, who was driving, asked curiously. He had also met the two brothers of the Huang family, but Chen An had always seemed to be indifferent to them before, but today they actually had dinner together. Chen An lay in the back seat, opened the window and let the wind blow to sober him up. "Before, if you didn't need anything from me, I naturally didn't want to pay attention to you." "Now he is willing to spend money to buy a cooperation. He is willing to spend 4 million US dollars to buy a share that others paid 2 million US dollars for. Naturally, I will not refuse the good intention." After hearing what the other party did, Zhao Xiong complained, "What a sucker." "Hahaha, you can't say that. I'm actually quite happy." Be happier, be happier, and then we will poach your employees. (End of this chapter)
