Chapter 163 Following the Hammer's Path
After finishing her tea, Bai Nuan glanced at Wan Jinglun.
She then realized a detail: Director Wan never seemed to persuade anyone to drink.
Whether it was the last time he had dinner with her alone or this time he met with his old friend, he never ordered any wine, let alone persuaded the actors to drink.
This is quite rare in the circle.
Many male directors look down on actresses. They may be polite in words, but their eyes and attitude give people the feeling of an emperor choosing a concubine. During
a normal meal, some actors are asked to sing, dance, or play musical instruments... If you don't know, you might think they are performers hired by the restaurant.
It is also like listening to stories in a teahouse in ancient times. A man threw down a silver coin from the upstairs, shook his feet and shouted, "The girl downstairs, come here and sing a song for me."
This really cannot be called "respect".
Persuading people to drink or even forcing them to drink is a very common thing in the industry. Too many directors have this habit, but actors can do nothing when they encounter this situation.
How many people dare to have a meal with a director, and the director stubbornly says "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink" when he raises his glass to you?
No matter if you are really allergic or fake, if the director really raises a glass to you and you don't give him face, then no matter whether he has bad intentions or not, you will not have this role.
But Wan Jinglun has never been like this. He is very friendly when talking to people, not oppressive, and respectful to everyone.
This is probably the reason why many netizens are attracted by him even though he has not produced many works so far.
He is the only young director with this temperament in the circle.
"Thank you for your blessings. Don't be polite. Have a good meal. If you need anything, just tell us. There are employees outside." Han Yuan said to everyone with a smile after drinking tea.
Everyone agreed.
Maybe it was because Han Yuan and Yu Xin were very kind and did not look down on them as just small transparent people in the circle. After the initial excitement and tension, everyone calmed down.
I don't know if he received Bai Nuan's gaze, but Wan Jinglun, who was talking to Han Yuan, glanced in Bai Nuan's direction.
When their eyes met, he smiled naturally, and then signaled to everyone at the table, "Don't be restrained, eat as much as you want, and go lose weight after this meal. There are not many opportunities to let handsome Han cook for you, it will be hard to miss this opportunity."
Han Yuan laughed, "Jingluan, it's ok for others to say this, but you're asking for a beating if you say this. Just count, how many meals have you eaten at my table?"
"Isn't it because you are such a good cook? Otherwise, why would I come all the way here just for this bite?"
"Yeah, then I have to thank you for your kindness?"
"You're welcome."
The atmosphere of this meal was very good. At first, Bai Nuan and the others didn't dare to talk to Han Yuan and Yu Xin, but after getting to know each other, they no longer had this concern.
After the meal, Director Wan went downstairs with them.
"If there is anything, I will notify you in the group. You should pay attention to the group messages. If you encounter any problems, please contact me in time. You are the ones with the most scenes in the film, and you can't make any mistakes."
"Okay, Director Wan." "
Well, be careful on the road, and see you on the day of the makeup appointment."
After saying goodbye to each other, Bai Nuan and Zeng Qi got in the car.
"This Director Wan is different from other directors." Zeng Qi said.
Although he is not an actor, at the dinner table just now, he was just like everyone else and was not ignored at all.
Wan Jinglun took the initiative to talk to him about a show in country F last year. That show should be the most popular in the past two years, and many design works that are regarded as classics appeared.
Zeng Qi can certainly talk about this issue, but what surprised him was that Wan Jinglun was also very knowledgeable when talking about the design industry, and it was obvious that he was not just a superficial person.
Zeng Qi talked to him about a certain designer, and when talking about the other party's design style, Wan Jinglun had the same opinion as him!
This also made Zeng Qi like him more.
Having the same aesthetics, that is, good friends!
"Well, I think he respects people very much." Bai Nuan said.
"For example?" Zeng Qi looked over.
"He respects actresses very much. This kind of respect is not the kind of respect that just says women are first, but real respect." Bai Nuan sighed, "I rarely meet people like him."
Especially in her original world.
In the original world, Bai Nuan has seen all kinds of hypocritical hypocrites.
Some directors dress very tastefully, their hair and clothes are well-groomed, and they speak very elegantly. They also smile, and will ask about your preferences whether it is food or drinks.
But when there is no one around, they can do all kinds of dirty tricks.
For example, they secretly take advantage of taking photos, pour wine during meals, and even put ingredients in the wine.
There are also people who look like gentlemen on the surface, but actually put room cards in your clothes pockets.
Bai Nuan even met one. A group of people in the circle gathered for dinner, and after the meal, she saw a male aunt in the bag.
She was so disgusted that she even threw away her bag.
Others might be used to such behaviors and choose to swallow their anger, but Bai Nuan has never been used to it.
Fortunately, her luck is relatively good. Most of the directors who really do this are not famous. After being rejected and ignored, they did not do anything to her, but just turned to look for the next one.
This matter depends on both parties' willingness. For those directors, they are actually just casting a wide net.
You are not willing, but there are many people who are willing. They can hardly turn over a brand in a day, and they will not spend much time on one person.
Later, Bai Nuan became famous, had a say and a strong fan base. Under such circumstances, the directors she met often did not dare to do the same to her again.
It's the same in every industry. When you are a nobody, many people will bully you.
But when you stand at the top of the pyramid, you will find that everyone around you has a kind smile, and there is no bad person.
"It seems that you think highly of him." Zeng Qi said.
"It's OK... Hey, didn't you say you wanted to buy something on the way when you came? Where should the car stop?"
When Bai Nuan saw the car driving away, she thought of Zeng Qi's words and couldn't help asking.
Zeng Qi froze.
On the way, that was just a casual remark.
He just wanted to follow Bai Nuan and take a look at what Director Wan was like.
"...No, I wanted to buy some snacks. Now I'm full and don't need them."
He touched his stomach and said with a guilty conscience.
Bai Nuan looked at him suspiciously.
[He feels guilty? Humph, he must be bluffing me! ]
