Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 91 91. Still making a bet...I want your wife, can you give it to me?

Turning around, I saw Chen Kaige and Feng Gangpao.

"Director Pei, I've heard a lot about you." "Director Pei."

Chen Kaige's old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

"Director Chen, Director Feng." Pei Ran shook hands with them politely.

In the blink of an eye, the personal information panel about Chen Kaige and Feng Gangpao appeared in Pei Ran's eyes, but Pei Ran just glanced at it quickly and saw nothing of value.

"Director Pei looks really young, but his achievements in the film industry really make us older generations... feel ashamed." Chen Kaige spoke first.

"How could that be? I was just lucky."

"Luck? I don't think so. If it was really a luck, how could Director Pei dare to openly declare war on Director Feng's If You Are the One 2 at the sound engineer press conference?"

Chen Kaige's words sounded a bit sarcastic.

It was even weirder that it happened in front of Feng Gangpao.

Without waiting for Pei Ran to speak, Feng Gangpao spoke first: "What do you mean by declaring war or not? I think it's more like Director Pei is imitating me. He's going to find a few bad movies to criticize before the movie is released to attract people's attention and drive traffic to his own movie!"

After that, Feng Gangpao put his hand on Pei Ran's shoulder and said half-jokingly: "It doesn't matter if you use me to attract traffic, but since you imitate me, Director Pei should pay the copyright fee."

Pei Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

I was a little surprised that Feng Gangpao actually spoke up for me.

But since they were so kind, Pei Ran would naturally be more friendly. "Director Feng, tell me the amount for the copyright fee. I'll pay more. Who knows, I might use this method again in the future."

"Hahaha...you kid!" Feng Gangpao laughed, "Then I really just said it casually!"

"Whatever you want to say! I believe Director Feng will not make things difficult for a newcomer like me. Director Feng must also know my financial situation. In one word, poor."

"You're still pretending to be poor? The sound engineer has such high box office sales, and you're still pretending to be poor?!" Feng Gangpao was so angry that he laughed.

The atmosphere between Pei Ran and Feng Gangpao was unexpectedly harmonious.

Instead, Chen Kaige next to him was confused, and he looked at Feng Gangpao with a strange look.

Didn't we agree to come here together to suppress the arrogance of this arrogant young man, so that he would know that even if he wins a prize by chance, he still has to respect the older generation!

Traitor, traitor!!!
Chen Kaige's face turned red with anger. He found the right time to interrupt and said, "But I think this method is not suitable for everyone. Director Feng dares to use it because he has the ability to judge which movies are just bad movies that are made to make money, and the movies he made are far better than those bad movies."

"I don't know how to use it, so I can't say that I can definitely tell which movies are bad. Otherwise, when Orphan of Zhao is released, I will definitely find those bad movies that only use crooked methods to gain traffic and popularity, and give them a good scolding!"

"In this way, I think the box office of this movie will be able to go up even more!"

"Are you right, Director Pei?"

That's what I said.

It was almost like pointing out that Pei Ran was far from Feng Gangpao's level, and that he could only use unconventional methods to attract traffic for his own films.

Pei Ran smiled wryly, "Director Chen, what are you talking about? Haven't you used it before? I remember that the two of us were singled out by netizens for comparison a while ago, right? With such a huge wave of popularity, Orphan of Zhao didn't make over 300 million at the box office. What a pity, what a pity."

It's such a pity for the two of them. Chen Kaige was so angry that his face turned blue.

"That's because Orphan of Zhao was about to be released!"

"Really? Then next time when Director Chen's movie is about to be released, please tell me in advance. I will definitely scold you harshly then, if not for anything else, just to give you a chance to break the 300 million box office." Pei Ran grinned.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaige no longer even pretended to be kind.

He said sternly: "I don't need a new director who can only hype up scandals to help me. Instead of worrying about me, it would be better for this new director to learn how to make movies. I heard that he didn't even finish college and dropped out directly. The movies made by such a director... Humph!" "Then this new director can make high-grossing movies without any systematic learning. If he learns, won't Director Chen have to..."

Pei Ran didn't even finish his teasing words.

Feng Gangpao interrupted her and started to smooth things over. "What's the point of saying these things at the celebration party? The box office can only represent the audience's immediate demand for the film. It has nothing to do with the director. Maybe the first film didn't do well at the box office, but the second one will be a big hit."

"Alright, alright, Kaige, this is the celebration party for the movie you directed, everyone is waiting for you to come up and say a few words!"

Feng Gangpao pulled Chen Kaige and was about to leave.

Chen Kaige sneered at Pei Ran, "Director Feng is right. The first movie was just lucky to sell high at the box office. Who knows how much the second movie will do!"

Pei Ran can show his greatness when it comes to women.

But when it comes to men, what's the point of being generous?

Pei Ran continued along with Chen Kaige's words, "That's right. For a director like me who relies purely on luck, I dare not say how much the second film will do at the box office. I might end up like Director Chen. Apart from Farewell My Concubine, I can't produce any other masterpieces."

This is truly heartbreaking.

Feng Gangpao was very surprised.

This kid really doesn't mind making trouble.

He now regretted that he had nothing better to do than attend this celebration party, but he still had to stop them. He couldn't let things get out of hand and the two of them start fighting...

If I get photographed again, it will be so embarrassing!

So Feng Gangpao continued to smooth things over, "How could that be? Director Chen's films are so ahead of their time. It's normal that today's audiences can't understand them. When people's spiritual level rises in the future, they will understand that Director Chen is a treasure of the time."

Pei Ran was completely confused by these words.

I almost laughed out loud.

But he quickly suppressed his smile.

Seeing Pei Ran stopped talking, and seeing that Feng Gangpao's words really made him feel comfortable, Chen Kaige coughed a few times, "Director Pei, are you looking down on me?"

And Chen... is responsible for this death.

Making a martial arts film?

"How could that be? I was just giving an example."

"Hmph, how about Director Pei make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Isn't Director Pei going to release a new film during the Spring Festival? Let's make a bet and see if Director Pei's debut film is just a stroke of luck or if he really has the talent."

"Okay."

"Then let's make a bet... on whether this new video can surpass the sound mixer."

"Okay."

"If it exceeds, Director Pei can ask me for anything. If it doesn't exceed... then I don't want anything else. I just want Director Pei to take back what he just said."

Then I ask you for your wife Chen Hong, can you give her to me?
Just make a request...

Just this big talk!
