Zhang Yimou had the restaurant owner prepare a whole roasted lamb and then called down Jet Li, Tony Leung, and Chen Daoming.

Zhang Yimou introduced the person to everyone.

Shen Fang looked at the kung fu emperor Jet Li and the legendary emperor Chen Daoming, and shook hands with them very warmly.

"Brother Jie, I'm your fan! Uncle Daoming, I'm also your fan, a die-hard fan. My whole family are your loyal fans."

Chen Daoming laughed: "Whose fan are you anyway? You're a really handsome young man."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "I have many fans. Teacher Chen, you flatter me."

Zhang Yimou smiled as he looked at Shen Fang.

"My junior brother is quite remarkable. He's a student handpicked by Principal Wang, and also an investor in our film. He just turned 18 this year. Oh, and he's also the young master of Liangpin Shop, quite wealthy. He's very good-looking, and he's here to play a role."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziyi was secretly delighted. He was only 18 years old, an innocent young boy, easy to fool. She knew about Liangpin Shop, a high-end snack brand in China with branches in many places.

Shen Fang took out some Liangpin Shop products and distributed them to Jet Li, Chen Daoming, Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung, and Zhang Ziyi.

"I didn't bring anything else with me, but I prepared some snacks. Please have a taste, seniors."

Chen Daoming took the dried mango and looked at the familiar packaging.

"Oh, this is it. So it's your family's shop, Xiao Shen. My wife often buys this; it's quite expensive."

Jet Li smiled and said, "Bestore sells very well in Hong Kong. Many stores are hot sellers. It can be said to be the number one snack brand in the industry."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "If Uncle Ming likes it, I'll get you a super membership when we get back to Beijing so you can eat our brand's snacks for free."

Chen Daoming waved his hand: "That won't do."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm a huge fan of yours. I watched Kangxi Dynasty every day when I was in school. You played the emperor so well. Consider this my way of supporting you as a fan."

Chen Daoming smiled and said, "I can't accept a reward without merit."

Shen Fang seized the opportunity and said, "Then you can teach me more about acting. I'll become your apprentice as a way of showing my respect. Wouldn't that be fine? Qianqian, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian walked over and looked at Chen Daoming with a hint of social anxiety. They were both senior figures; her social anxiety was acting up again.

"Teacher Chen, Qianqian and I are about to go to Beijing Film Academy. Qianqian recently took on a role in a TV series as the second female lead. Could you please help us teach us how to act?"

Chen Daoming looked at Liu Qianqian and smiled: "Sure, you're a handsome man and a beautiful woman. With your looks, you're born for this. If you want to learn, I'll teach you wholeheartedly."

Shen Fang immediately smiled and said, "Then we'll call you teacher from now on."

Chen Daoming nodded: "Sure, why not? From now on, you two will be my two unlucky apprentices."

Zhang Yimou laughed loudly: "Oh, Daoming, today is a joyous occasion! You've accepted a disciple! So, shouldn't you treat us to dinner tonight?"

Chen Daoming smiled and said, "I'll treat, I'll treat. But you'll need to prepare a formal apprenticeship banquet. Poor apprentice, you haven't even presented your apprenticeship gift yet, you rich kid."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, after we return to Beijing, let's hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony. What do you think?"

Chen Daoming waved his hand: "I was just joking with you. You can just follow me and learn. There's no need for the apprenticeship ceremony."

Liu Xiaoli stood up and smiled at Chen Daoming.

"Since Teacher Chen is willing to accept our Qianqian as his apprentice, we must prepare a gift for the apprenticeship. Giving gifts when learning a skill is an old custom."

Shen Fang replied, "Yes, teacher, that's only right. I've also started a media company. You can invite your friends along, and we'll have a grand apprenticeship banquet. What do you think?"

Chen Daoming narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly, "Good lad, you just became my apprentice and you're already trying to take advantage of me? Fine, since you're my apprentice, it's only right that I help you. But it's a deal, you'd better bring me the membership card later, your master's wife really likes snacks."

Shen Fang patted his chest: "It's no big deal."

Shen Fang directly took the two cups of butter tea and handed one to Liu Qianqian.

Shen Fang bowed, holding the teacup: "Please have some tea, teacher."

Chen Daoming laughed loudly: "Alright, I'll take on a disciple today. Tonight's dinner is on me."

Zhang Yimou patted Shen Fang on the shoulder.

"Junior brother, you really have a good eye. Daoming knows a lot of people in the industry. No wonder you can run such a big business at such a young age. Daoming, you're going to enjoy life to the fullest with this apprentice."

Liu Qianqian also followed Shen Fang's example and offered Chen Daoming a cup of tea.

Chen Daoming drank it.

"This child seems a bit shy and cold."

Liu Xiaoli: "Teacher Chen, my daughter Qianqian is a bit slow to warm up to people, and she just came back from the United States, so she's a little socially awkward."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Teacher, Qianqian has a very lively personality in private, but she hides it. It's not easy for her to show."

Chen Daoming nodded and looked at Liu Qianqian: "Qianqian, that's very good. The most important thing for an actor is to have their own characteristics, and your characteristics are very obvious. You can be described as beautiful as an angel, and your personality complements you perfectly. Keep this natural quality of yours, and you will shine even brighter."

Liu Xiaoli asked doubtfully, "Teacher Chen, aren't entertainers supposed to be good at handling all kinds of situations? Won't this affect my daughter Qianqian's personality?"

Chen Daoming shook his head and smiled, "No, she's very beautiful, a natural cold-faced beauty. That's what creates the contrast. If she were always smiling, her goddess aura would dissipate. A beauty should be unique. If she were like an ordinary person, what would be the point of casting an actress? You need to cultivate that quality in her."

Zhang Yimou said, "That's right, Liu Yifei is born to do this. For actors, having their own unique temperament is very important."

Jet Li nodded and said, "There are many beautiful people, but the key is to be beautiful and unique."

Liu Tianxian stared blankly at everyone, saying, "What I'm saying is so profound, we don't quite understand. But I have a master now? It's none other than Teacher Chen Daoming! Woohoo, I'm about to take off!"

Shen Fang nodded to himself. No wonder Tianxian was different from the other young flowers; it seemed that she had received special attention in her cultivation.

The boss prepared the food and delivered it over.

Whole roasted lamb, along with several specialty side dishes: naan bread, butter tea, and mare's milk wine.

The group sat together.

Shen Fang poured wine for Lao Mouzi and the others.

Shen Fang downed a glass first.

Huang Bo also toasted all the seniors.

Let's eat!

Liu Qianqian tugged at Shen Fang's sleeve and pointed to the whole roasted lamb. Shen Fang understood and tore off a small lamb leg for Liu Qianqian.

Chen Daoming smiled at the two of them: "Two unlucky disciples, you seem to have a good relationship."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Qianqian is my sister. Isn't it only right for a teacher to take care of his sister?"

Chen Daoming nodded: "Very good, fellow disciples, love each other and support each other."
