…

Three days after its release, the film "Glass Time" was packed to capacity, receiving rave reviews. All the actors involved in the film were highly anticipated. Feng Zong, who had to rush back to Taiwan to film, only visited for one day to promote the film and flew back that evening.

The Hong Kong reporters asked many tricky questions to the other actors, and the mainland actors were particularly harsh in their words. Among them, the questions to He Chuan were particularly harsh.

"Director He Chuan, this film still retains Director Wang Shi's consistent style. So, what is your contribution? Is it just a co-credited credit to gild the industry?"

A middle-aged reporter in a neat suit, holding a recorder, asked provocatively. His tone was sharp, showing no regard for the young mainland director.

He Chuan slowly stood up and took the microphone handed to him by the staff. His eyes were cold, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and he said slowly:

"If you're nearsighted, I suggest you get glasses instead of standing here asking tasteless and mindless questions. Don't you see my contribution to this film? I don't mind if you buy a few more tickets and then go back and put on your glasses to watch it carefully."

No one present had expected that this fledgling director, who came to Hong Kong for the first time to promote his film, would be so arrogant and not afraid of offending these reporters at all.

Wang Shi quickly tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Hahaha, Director He is a top student who returned from studying abroad. I'll definitely be asking him for advice on all aspects of my professional work. This film is indeed very different from my usual filming techniques, so I welcome everyone to come and support it."

After hitting a snag with He Chuan, the reporters turned their guns on several mainland actors.

"Because Director He is from the mainland, are there more mainland actresses in the crew this time? I see that the actor with more roles in the film is not here. These two are considered extras, especially this beautiful girl who doesn't even have any lines. Are they trying to take advantage of this opportunity to hook a rich husband?" A young female reporter asked Huang Wenrong sarcastically.

Although this malicious speculation made people very uncomfortable, Huang Wenrong politely took the microphone and said with a decent smile:

"I'm very grateful to the crew for giving me this opportunity to come and learn together. Whether we're from the mainland or our compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, we're all Chinese. This play is a collaboration between actors from across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and with Hong Kong's return to China imminent, I think this was the original intention of the two directors in selecting the actors."

After she finished speaking, He Chuan led the applause, and the applause rang out in the venue. Many audience members also cheered for her answer.

After the interview, Wang Shi walked over to Huang Wenrong and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, please do me a favor and come to tonight's celebration party! Our drama is a big hit, and I plan to strike while the iron is hot with the second part. Your speech just now was also very impressive. Let's discuss the filming schedule tonight."

During their stay in Hong Kong, the crew had dinner every night, but Wen Rong never went. Huang Shao was currently in Hong Kong, so she had somewhere to go.

Seeing Wang Shi say this, Wen Rong couldn't refuse: "Okay, Director Wang, I will definitely be there."

Wang Shi spent a huge amount of money to hold a celebration banquet at the most famous hotel in Hong Kong, and invited many beautiful actresses and upper-class people to attend.

He not only wanted to celebrate the success of "Glass Time", but also hoped to attract more investment for the second film through this banquet.

Wen Rong stood in the dressing room, looking at Gao Fei, who was wearing a low-cut slit dress and was trying hard to push up her chest to make her cleavage deeper.

"Aren't you afraid of exposing yourself when you dress like this?" Wen Rong asked.

Gao Fei raised her head, a look of pride in her eyes. "Don't you understand? Men just like to see this. Director Wang is surrounded by beautiful women. He must have forgotten me after not seeing me for a few months. I have to work hard to get a good role!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wenrong and suggested, "Why don't you change into something else instead of wearing something so plain and simple."

"No, I'm fine this way." Wen Rong refused directly.

When the two arrived at the banquet hall, Gao Fei immediately turned on the radar to search for Director Wang.

Sure enough, Wang Shi was surrounded by several women. She quickly pulled Wen Rong over and called out, "Director Wang, we're here."

Wang Shi saw Gao Fei dressed so coolly and with a deep cleavage, and his eyes lit up: "Fei Fei looks very beautiful tonight!"

"How could that be? Director Wang has no shortage of beautiful women around him." Gao Fei pretended to be shy and squeezed away the woman on Wang Shi's right.

He Chuan saw the commotion over here and took the initiative to come over to remind him: "Director Wang, aren't we going to decide on the roles for the second part today?"

"Yes, yes, I have discussed this with Director He. How about you, Wenrong, play the second female lead in the next play?" Wang Shi said.

Before Wen Rong could answer, the woman on Wang Shi's left became unhappy and shouted in a long tone: "Director Wang! Didn't you agree to let me play the second female lead?" As she spoke, she rubbed Wang Shi's arm with her big white breasts.

Seeing this, Gao Fei also squeezed Wang Shi's hand and said coquettishly: "Director Wang, don't forget me."

Wang Shi was very pleased with the honey trap and waved his hand: "Let's all perform, let's all perform. Let a hundred flowers bloom."

The beauty on the left wasn't happy. She shook off Wang Shi's arm and said arrogantly, "Director Wang, I'm the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong! You know how popular the dramas I've filmed in the past two years have been. Either I'll be the second female lead, or if you want a hundred flowers to bloom, then I'll be the first female lead. Why should these two mainland girls steal my role?"

"Why? Because I'm willing to invest in this film?" A deep and powerful voice suddenly interrupted.

Everyone turned around and saw Huang Shao walking out of the crowd. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and looked particularly imposing.

Wang Shi's face suddenly changed when he saw Huang Shao appear, and he quickly flattered him enthusiastically: "Oh, Mr. Huang, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. This is the general manager of Sifang Group."

"Director Wang, you're welcome. I'm here to pick someone up." Huang Shao smiled faintly, but his eyes held an undeniable determination. "I've invested in your next film. Tell my secretary how much you want tomorrow. I want Wenrong to play the leading female role. As for this lady, it doesn't matter whether she plays the second female lead or not."

"Okay, okay, I understand what Mr. Huang means." Wang Shi nodded.

Huang Shao glanced at He Chuan and then took Wen Rong away, not wanting to make his personal relationship public.

After he had distanced himself from the crowd, Wen Rong asked quietly, "Fourth Uncle, why are you here?"

"He Chuan called me and said that your interview today was very good, and he wanted to strike while the iron is hot and release the news that you will be in the next movie. Wang Shi, that old lecher, has too many love affairs, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get a good role for you. So he asked me to come and invest." Huang Shao explained.
