Yan Hanxi, as the representative of the Yan family, was happy to bring He Jing to the banquet, treating it as a way to relax outside of his studies.
As soon as the renowned director Zhang Huanqing saw Yan Hanxi, he immediately came forward and said, "Young Master Yan's arrival has elevated my banquet by several levels. Thank you for raising my profile, Young Master Yan... Oh, and who is this?"
Yan Hanxi smiled and said, "Girlfriend."
He casually put one arm around He Jing's waist without her noticing, and it didn't elicit any resistance from her.
Zhang Huanqing remembered Yan Hanxi's good points. Nowadays, any movie with a bit of popularity and a decent script can achieve good box office results. However, "Qiong Xin" did not invite any young idols or popular actresses, and its subject matter was as serious as it could be.
He makes art films, aiming for awards. Art films are generally well-received but not commercially successful, having good reputations but no box office returns, and few investors are willing to invest heavily in them.
Yan Hanxi happened to invest, and even brought in several other investors to share the risk. As a result, before filming started, he racked his brains to cut corners in every aspect, but after the film was completed, half of the budget was still left.
In all his years as a director, he has never been this well-off. The money is non-refundable, so it can only be used for publicity and distribution.
Seeing that Yan Hanxi had brought his girlfriend, he immediately gave Yan Hanxi face and praised He Jing highly, saying, "She's so beautiful. Her temperament and her features are comparable to those of the newly crowned Best Actress, An Xiaoran."
Yan Hanxi smiled lazily: "My girlfriend doesn't like to compare herself to others."
Then, he introduced Zhang Huanqing to He Jing and gently patted He Jing's head: "Say hello to him."
He Jing smiled at Zhang Huanqing and extended her hand: "Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Zhang Huanqing also extended his hand. He was taken aback when he heard the title. He thought He Jing was an artist from some company or a young model, but it turned out she was not in the entertainment industry.
Admittedly, it's not only those in the entertainment industry who are glamorous, but He Jing seems to fit the atmosphere here too well.
For a moment, Zhang Huanqing couldn't help but have some thoughts.
It's such a waste that someone with such a face doesn't act!
Yan Hanxi exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhang Huanqing, then led He Jing elsewhere.
He Jing was wearing high heels today, and he didn't want her to stand for too long, as it would be tiring.
He Jing asked, "Is the movie 'Qiong Xin' good?"
Is it better than the Dragon Ball: Land movie?
Fans say that Dragon Ball Land is the luckiest novel to be adapted into a movie.
Yan Hanxi smiled and replied, "I haven't seen the finished film of 'Qiong Xin' yet, but the script is amazing. If Zhang Huanqing weren't an incompetent director, this film would definitely win an award."
"So what is it about?"
"If you're interested, I can ask Director Zhang for two seats at the preview screening and take you to see it together."
He Jing hesitated slightly: "Will this work?"
“Of course.” Although it’s usually difficult for the average person to get a seat at Zhang Huanqing’s film preview screening, as an investor, he still has that right. “Then it’s settled.”
Dating plan secured.
He Jing nodded: "Mm."
More and more guests arrived, and in the end, they were all recently famous actresses and movie stars. Apart from the lead actors, they were all big names.
Zhang Huanqing was determined to use the popularity to promote himself, and the actors were happy to make their presence known through Zhang Huanqing, so that they wouldn't be unable to change their image after filming too many bad dramas.
Among them, He Jing spotted it at a glance...
P.S.: I haven't decided who to see yet, so I'll leave it blank for now and see how I make it up tomorrow.
