Hearing this, Wen Wan smiled faintly.
"It's fine. The director and crew members are very caring towards me."
"And I also learned a lot from the filming process."
"At least for now, Hollywood's film production is still far superior to ours."
Chen Xiao nodded. "They've been ahead for decades. We can't surpass them in one day. Take your time."
"But that's the extent of Hollywood's reputation."
Chen Xiao smiled and jokingly said, "Hollywood's heyday was from the 1980s to the millennium. Back then, whether it was directors, screenwriters, or actors, the entire industry was working hard, and a wide variety of genres flourished, creating a thriving industry."
"But in recent years, Hollywood has clearly been struggling."
"Capital is only for making money, and it only focuses on commercial films. Even so, the quality of commercial films is getting worse and worse. In one or two years, not even a good movie can be made."
Chen 꼎 sighed and said, "In fact, the entire industry is in a downturn."
Wen Wan sat aside, listening quietly to Chen 꼎's speech.
She may not feel what Chen 꼎 said for the time being, but she has always believed in Chen 꼎's words.
Chen 꼎 looked up and grinned.
"So, if we want to make a push for an Oscar, we have to hurry up."
"We must find a way to make a breakthrough before the overall environment gets completely bad."
Wen Wan smiled bitterly: "Is there really a chance?"
"In fact, as someone in the industry, I know very well that Hollywood's judging rules have always been somewhat exclusive to outsiders."
Chen 꼎 was happy.
"Okay. That all depends on you."
"It's not really about excluding outsiders, it's just about excluding our country."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as the script is solid enough, even if it doesn't win the award, a nomination will be fine. When you retire in the future, this reputation will guarantee you a life of wealth and glory."
She smiled gently. Actually, she didn't care much about these false reputations now.
The money I earn is enough to provide me with food and clothing for the rest of my life.
However, she really enjoyed the feeling of working together with Chen 꼎.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Wen Wan shook her head. She had turned down an event and arrived early just to meet Chen 꼎.
I have to fly to Pudong early tomorrow morning because there is an event for 눑言놚 to attend there.
So, she is really busy now, even busier than Chen.
Chen got up, opened the door, and asked the waiter to bring some food.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't eat. I can just grab some snacks on the way..."
Chen 꼎 glanced at Wen Wan and asked, "Isn't this how you stay in shape?"
Wen Wan smiled bitterly, "Not really. Mainly because I'm busy with work and sometimes I just don't have time to eat. I'm used to eating a box lunch or snacks in the car."
"You have to eat well, though."
Chen Xiao said in a muffled voice: "You can't feel it now, but when you get older, all kinds of stomach problems and other diseases will come out, and you will suffer then."
Wen Wan was amused.
"Don't scare me. Even if I'm sick, you have to take care of me. You're the boss and I'm the employee."
"I'll take care of you! I'll take care of you for the rest of your life!"
"That's more like it."
These words made Wen Wan feel warm and a little excited.
After a while, the waiter brought the food. The quantity was not large and it was served on small plates, but each one was very exquisite.
"I haven't eaten tonight, so please come eat with me."
Chen 꼎 handed Wen Wan a pair of chopsticks, and Wen Wan did not refuse.
Then the two of them ate and chatted.
In fact, there was nothing important to talk about between the two of them. It was more like a gathering of old friends, sitting together and chatting about trivial matters.
Wen Wan would share some industry gossip or filming experiences, but more often than not, it was Chen who did the talking. Talking about health preservation, investment, the trivialities of life, and planning for the future...
Every time this happened, Wen Wan would secretly look at the other person with shining eyes.
Chen 꼎 at this time was also very charming.
Wen Wan's stomach was indeed small, so she only ate a few pieces of each side dish and then drank a bowl of lotus leaf porridge and felt full.
Most of the time, he was watching Chen 꼎 wolf down the eye protection.
After Chen 꼎 finished eating, Wen Wan handed him a tissue. Chen 꼎 wiped his mouth and raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch.
"It's almost time. You're still going crazy so early in the morning. I'll take you home so you can get some rest. You still need five hours of sleep."
"Um."
Wen Wan did not refuse.
Even if she only sat alone with Chen 꼎 for half an hour, she would be happy.
Taking advantage of the night, the two left the club through the VIP passage and walked towards the parking lot not far away.
Wen Wan also said that the movie would be released in a while, and she would be very busy then.
Fly around the world and promote everywhere.
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the domestic situation. Fei Xiao Media will be responsible for domestic publicity and promotion."
As he was speaking, Chen 꼎 turned his head and looked behind him in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Wan asked curiously.
"I always feel like someone is watching us?" Chen murmured. His sixth sense has always been very sharp.
Wen Wan's expression changed slightly: "Maybe he's a paparazzi."
"You know, since I returned to China recently, I've been followed by a lot of paparazzi every day..."
"It won't affect you, will it?"
Wen Wan was a little worried, after all, her identity was not very convenient.
A big star and a big boss having a secret meeting at night, this kind of hot topic is too easy to hype.
Chen 꼎 shook his head.
"It's okay. The security here is pretty good. There shouldn't be any paparazzi able to sneak in."
"Let's go. Maybe I saw it wrong."
He walked Wen Wan all the way to the car.
Wen Wan got in the car, rolled down the window, and for the first time, a hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes.
"You... take care of yourself."
"Don't work too hard! 놚... Get more rest!"
Chen 꼎 smiled and waved.
"I know."
"Have a safe trip! Text me once you've arrived safely."
"Um."
After watching Wen Wan leave in the car, Chen 꼎 withdrew his gaze and the smile on his face faded.
Soon, the driver Zhang Shun came over quietly.
"Let the secret guards check. Someone must have taken a secret photo just now."
"If they are paparazzi, confiscate their equipment, delete their photos, and teach them a lesson."
"yes."
"if……"
Chen paused.
“If it weren’t for the paparazzi…”
If it wasn't paparazzi, then there was only one possibility.
The other party is targeting me.
What is the Bai family, what is the curtain-puller.
"Whoever they are. Bring them all here."
"yes!"
Zhang Shun left quietly.
Chen 꼎 looked at the lights of the club in the distance and fell silent.
No matter who it is.
This is the sea of clouds.
It is your own base camp.
No force can dare to set foot in this place.
