The scene flashed by so quickly that it was less that Gu Hanyin was deliberately glancing at Cen Yu, and more that he was trying to avoid the light.
The camera pans away the next second, and Cen Yu is finally able to eat a little bit of the food at the dinner party.
His teammates were about to speak up and tell Cen Yu to eat less, as this was not the occasion for him to eat whatever he wanted!
Then Gu Hanyin started eating... so I could only keep quiet.
Cen Yu felt his stomach was growling with hunger. To prevent his stomach from bulging out when he walked the red carpet or performed, he hadn't eaten anything all day.
That is, I drank a few sips of water right after I sat down.
After playing the role of a vigilante in the restroom for a while, he was even hungrier... Perhaps because the auction had come to an end and the live broadcast had been cut off, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more lively. Some people were already carrying wine glasses and walking towards Cen Yu's table, their target obviously being Gu Hanyin who was sitting there.
A middle-aged man sat down next to Gu Hanyin. "Director Gu."
Gu Hanyin put down her chopsticks and looked at the man beside her.
Although Cen Yu did not recognize the man, he guessed from his attire that he was either an investor or had a similar background. Sure enough, as soon as the man spoke, he asked about the candidate for "Qian Aige". He did not intend to force Gu Hanyin, but just wanted to see if filming could start smoothly within the year.
His voice wasn't quiet, but it wasn't loud either.
At that moment, the venue was noisy due to social interactions and music, so logically no one should have heard it.
But Cen Yu was certain that almost everyone's ears were perked up, eager to see what Gu Hanyin meant.
Gu Hanyin is young, and his last film was even nominated for the main competition. Although it did not achieve outstanding box office results, he is definitely one of the young directors in the industry. His new film is going to use a complete newcomer as one of the main characters, which is quite a gimmick.
If Gu Hanyin weren't the type of person who loves hype, many people would probably think that one of the main characters would have emerged from a talent show.
Male Lead 101
The investor held a glass of red wine, and Gu Hanyin also picked up her glass and clinked it with the middle-aged man's, saying, "There's some progress."
"Hmm?" The person originally thought that Gu Hanyin would say something like "didn't find one," "didn't find a suitable one," or "waiting for fate," but unexpectedly, this time it turned into a promising prospect.
Has a suitable candidate been found?
A flurry of thoughts suddenly raced through his mind—
Because he had a fairly good relationship with Gu Hanyin, he simply smiled and drank the red wine in his glass, then stood up and patted Gu Hanyin on the shoulder, saying, "It's good that there's progress."
"Waiting for your good news."
Gu Hanyin also picked up her wine glass, took a sip of the liquid, and placed it on the table beside her, right to Cen Yu's left.
The two were talking quite loudly, and after the middle-aged man left, someone brought his artists to greet Gu Hanyin.
Cen Yu glanced at him and realized that it was He Ci's enemy, and the people he brought...
He's a boy with a very special air about him.
After a second of careful thought, Cen Yu understood the person's identity.
He Ci's arch-nemesis is currently promoting a character who has played supporting roles in many big-budget productions recently, and has just landed the lead role in a fantasy S-level production.
The agent exchanged a few pleasantries with Gu Hanyin first, and then had one of his artists greet Gu Hanyin.
Gu Hanyin's attitude wasn't enthusiastic, but neither of them seemed intimidated... Cen Yu found it amusing, but she didn't expect He Ci to also come to this table.
He exchanged a glance with his arch-enemy before saying to Gu Hanyin, "Director Gu, it's been a long time."
He then said, "Sister Yu was just talking to me about filming with you."
The "Sister Yu" he mentioned was the actress who sat at the main table and won two rounds of Best Actress awards—she was the actress who was nominated for the main competition in Gu Hanyin's previous film.
As soon as He Ci finished speaking, Sister Yu walked over.
"Why didn't you come to our table?" She held her wine glass and sat down casually next to Gu Hanyin. "There might be headlines tomorrow saying we're at odds?"
Gu Hanyin raised his wine glass and clinked it against hers, saying, "It's quiet here."
Seeing this, He Ci's mortal enemy understood perfectly well that He Ci was trying to get close to them, so he simply brought up Sister Yu—the two of them couldn't just stand there like fools.
He understood the importance of knowing when to stop, so after saying goodbye to Gu Hanyin with his men, he hurriedly left.
He Ci glanced at the departing figures of the two people before saying to the boy band members he had brought, "I'll introduce you to some people as well."
Of course, He Ci couldn't possibly introduce them to big-name directors and producers; they weren't high-profile enough.
His main goal was to see if he could get some resources for variety shows or TV dramas.
When Mother Hen arrives, the chicks naturally follow her.
Cen Yu pushed his chair back slightly, preparing to blend into the crowd and toast and greet the people He Ci knew, when he noticed Gu Hanyin glancing at him again.
"...?" What's going on here?
Cen Yu was puzzled.
He was quite certain that Gu Hanyin had looked at him several times just now.
At this moment, Gu Hanyin finally put down his wine glass, turned to look at Cen Yu, and then stood up under the other's puzzled gaze.
"I'm sorry," Gu Hanyin said.
Then she came to Cen Yu's side.
He was tall, and even though Cen Yu wasn't short, he still felt a bit intimidated when Gu Hanyin suddenly approached.
Especially since Gu Hanyin's face didn't show much expression...
He looked down at Cen Yu's clothes, and finally reached out to adjust the decorative necklace around his neck—
The necklace seemed to have gotten caught on a button of the tweed jacket because Cen Yu's movements were too exaggerated while he was acting as a champion of justice in the restroom.
Gu Hanyin quietly reached out and straightened the necklace that was stuck on the clasp for him.
Then, taking a slight step back, she said to Cen Yu, "This is better."
He spoke as if nothing had happened, sat back down in his seat, and then turned to continue chatting with Sister Yu.
He Ci's hand holding the wine glass trembled for a moment as he watched this scene, while Li Yanxiao stood there, squinting at the scene.
Everyone thought this scene wouldn't be seen, since the live broadcast had already ended, and this place wasn't the main table, nor did it have someone like Mu Fengyin who would attract the spotlight. Even with two recently popular celebrities, that was all.
Unexpectedly, a post suddenly appeared on an anonymous forum—
[Anyone with connections, come on over! You're trying to get a big shot out of him! Isn't he the male lead in so-and-so's new movie?!]
In the blurry photo, which looked like it was taken with a landline camera, Gu Hanyin was looking down and straightening Cen Yu's collar.
Even though Cen Yu's profile was blurred, Gu Hanyin's expression and figure were clearly visible.
