"President Shen."
"Director Chen, Teacher Chen," Shen Fang greeted Director Chen and his wife.
To be honest, Director Chen is too pretentious. Shen Fang looks down on him; his whole family is no good. He's too pretentious, especially in that scene where Ah Se is eating.
Chen Kaige and his wife sat there, while their son stood to the side like a waiter. Then Director Chen said, "Eat," and Chen Feiyu took a bite like a lapdog. He then said, "This is the rule. What's with this high-class gentleman act? I don't know where he learned it from. He's such a show-off."
The son cheated on his girlfriend with a fan, and then pretended to make Chen Feiyu kneel on the ground, acting like he was disciplining him strictly. The video was then released, and Zhang Yi was still trying to persuade him, saying, "What, you still want to clear your name?"
Chen Hong, right? She became a mistress and tore into Ni Ping's relationship, ruining their seven-year romance. She just filmed a movie with Ni Ping, and the two of them got entangled. That's pretty amazing. Ni Ping and Chen hadn't had children for seven years. She was born with low sperm count, so she secretly went to the US to do IVF and got pregnant. She really went to any lengths.
Ni Ping spent seven years of her youth promoting you to fame. When Chen's father passed away, it was Ni Ping who arranged the funeral. At the funeral, Director Chen directly told Ni Ping that he could not let Chen Hong down.
That's enough! You can't be so unfair to Chen Hong, but you're doing right by Ni Ping? Seriously? To say such heartless things is just unbelievable.
Director Chen, with his proud and arrogant nature, only ever made one film, "Farewell My Concubine." But those in the know understand the true nature of that film; it's uncertain whether he even repaid the debt, given that his later works were increasingly mediocre. He lost money on every film he made, only managing to recoup his losses through real estate investment and other means, which is why he attracted continued investment.
"Mr. Shen, I've had an idea lately. The script is finished, the project is fantastic, a big production. We're planning to promote Chinese culture and let the American people see the elegance of the Chinese people, blah blah blah..."
Director Chen spoke eloquently, delivering a long and detailed explanation to Shen Fang.
The core idea is that I have a great project, it's awesome, I have the director and the project, all I need is money! I'm here to beg for investment.
"So, Director Chen, what's the story behind it? Could you tell me briefly?"
"The story goes like this, once upon a time..."
Shen Fang felt a chill run down his spine. This guy was aiming at Wuji, wasn't he? A bloodbath caused by a steamed bun? Good heavens, do you think I'm a fool?
Just as Director Chen was enthusiastically telling the story, Zhang Yimou patted him on the shoulder.
"Old Chen, this story just doesn't make sense. The whole thing started with a steamed bun? And that's what led to the rest of the story? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
Director Chen turned to look at Zhang Yimou: "You don't understand!"
Old Zhang Ziyi... I don't understand? I was just about to say a few more words when Shen Fang interrupted me.
"Director Chen, I don't think I'm interested in investing in your film." Shen Fang made the decision directly, not wanting to waste words with Director Chen.
Director Chen was dumbfounded. Who else could I be but Chen Kai?! A Golden Lion winner! A renowned director! A leading figure among Chinese directors! He's asking you for investment, and you won't invest?!
Seeing that Shen Fang went to greet Cheng Long and ignored him, Old Chen lost face and his face darkened. Now he hated not only Shen Fang, but also Zhang Yimou. If you hadn't said that one word, I would have definitely been able to swindle the money. In his eyes, Shen Fang was the kind of stupid person who was rich but foolish and came to him quickly.
"Old Chen, this story of yours is really no good. Is this another story you wrote? You should find Lu Wei to write for you," Zhang Yimou said earnestly.
Director Chen slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Yimou: "I've fallen out with him. Are you afraid I'll surpass you and steal your glory?"
Zhang Yimou?
"snort!!!"
Director Chen took Chen Hong's hand and went to the leaders to inquire about their well-being.
Chen Ting looked at Zhang Yimou speechlessly: "Why is he like this?"
Zhang Yimou smiled wryly: "It's always been like this. I thought it would have changed after so many years, but I didn't expect it to still be like this."
"Old Zhang, you should avoid associating with him in the future; he looks down on you."
"We were classmates..."
"What do you mean by being classmates? Do you even consider me a classmate? Anyway, you won't listen to me, so you'll suffer. Let me tell you, I'm not happy either, because I'm pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou's face lit up with surprise and delight. He carefully touched Chen Ting's belly and asked, "Again?"
Looking at Zhang Yimou's expression, Chen Ting smiled happily: "Isn't this the result of your hard work?"
Don't let my husband's age fool you, he's got it all in that area!!! Look, he's pregnant with our third child. This is such a waste of my time!!!
......
"Brother Long, it's been a long time."
Cheng Long laughed and hugged Shen Fang: "Brother Shen, long time no see. This is James, and this little boy is the male lead, Jaden Smith. Producer, Randy, and director, Phil Deman."
Shen Fang smiled and shook hands with the group.
Randy was very enthusiastic, looking at Shen Fang with a hint of ingratiation. He knew Shen Fang; in Hollywood, the producer held the most power on a film set. The director, lead actors, and so on were unimportant, because the producer was the core; everything—funding, advertising, editing—had to pass through their hands.
Randy knew that the Karate Dream project was initiated by the big shot in front of him.
