Chapter 170 Director Chen’s Suggestions

Ning Ming's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me? He just said that about us!"

Qin Xiaoman frowned and glanced at him, then shook her head. "He actually said it very gently. I even felt that my acting was bad. So that's it. I think Director Qin is very good. I like him quite a bit myself, Bai Bai and Ning Ming."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any reluctance.

Only Ning Ming was stunned in the spot, unable to understand. Finally, he was so angry that he cursed angrily,

"Fuck, there really are idiots who enjoy being criticized. What's Qin Sheng? Pah!"

The recording finally ended at three in the afternoon.

Overall it went pretty smoothly. I just watched half of the actors' performance segments and that was it. Apart from Guo Xiaoming who targeted Qin Sheng with a compassionate heart and mocked him for not having any works, everything else was okay.

After the recording, Chen Kaige suggested that several directors have dinner together. Guo Xiaoming declined due to health reasons, but Qin Sheng didn't care and had a casual dinner with the two big directors.

During the performance, Chen Kaige saw Qin Sheng's expressionless face and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Xiao Qin, you have great composure. If I were younger, I would have lost my temper and walked out on the show."

"Oh, Director Kaige, that's really flattering." Qin Sheng waved his hand modestly. "I just need to earn money for milk powder. I have no choice. Besides, I'm afraid of being banned."

“…”

Zhao Wei and Chen Kaige were stunned at the time, looked at each other, and laughed, "You are really good at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but this situation is very normal in our industry. When you don't make any achievements, it is inevitable that people will use this to make trouble for you."

"For example..." Chen Kaige was clearly getting excited, using his own experience as an example. "Before I was nominated for the Palme d'Or, a group of foreigners asked, 'Hey, who is this Chen Kaige? Has he been nominated for any awards before?' Then they checked and found out, 'Oh, so he was just a runner-up, an unknown person.' But after I won, their expressions were so wonderful. It was so funny. When I left, I specifically asked the driver to hold the trophy and do a few laps to show off. It was so satisfying."

"I understand. I'll do it as soon as possible. It may be filmed during this period, but it may also take a long time."

Qin Sheng replied with a smile. Actually, he still admired Chen Kaige. This old man was the first person in the history of Chinese-language films to win the Palme d'Or. He was a pioneer and a trailblazer. Although his subsequent works did not perform as well as expected, such an achievement was enough for him to win the world with one award.

"oh?"

Zhao Wei couldn't help but interrupt at this time, "Are you really going to shoot it?"

"Really?" Qin Sheng nodded. "Why, Director Zhao Wei wants to invest?"

"No, no, no, idol, make some money first. Even though your TV series are great, movies are still different..."

"But the Korean wave is all the rage lately. For example, the recent films like 'Gambler' and 'Family Fun 2003' grossed over 400 million yuan each in China. You better think carefully before you act. Otherwise, by the time you're done with your baby formula money, Yuqin's going to make you kneel on the washboard when she gets home."

Korean Wave?

Qin Sheng thought to himself, that’s great, I might as well make up my mind and become an envoy to fight against Korea this time, isn’t that great?

"Actually, I think you should take some time to calm down. Why are you in such a hurry to make a movie?" Zhao Wei smiled and clinked glasses with Qin Sheng. She actually had good intentions. She had seen many directors who hoped to move from the small screen to the big screen, but ended up failing. She wanted to give Qin Sheng a wake-up call.

Qin Sheng took a sip and said with a generous smile, "It's okay, I've been prepared for this. Besides, didn't Director Chen just say that if you want to slap Director Guo in the face, you have to use your results. So even though Director Guo's face is small, I still want to slap him, and hit him hard..."

Kaige was choked by the beer and coughed several times. After that, he wiped his mouth and cursed.

"That's just nonsense, you little Qin boy, when did I ever order you to deal with Guo Xiaoming? I was advising you to take a long-term view before bullying those foreigners!"

"Is that what you mean?" Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow and pretended to understand. "I see. That's a shame. I thought Director Chen was suggesting that I knock Director Guo out and then drive my Rolls-Royce around his yard three times."

Ah...he is now putting his knowledge into practice?

The two of them burst into laughter at once.

"Hahahaha, you are such a petty-minded kid, hahahaha."
