This actor has something

Chapter 269 Dinner Party
Wang Jing is well aware of the essence of Hong Kong directors' filmmaking, which is speed.

Zhou Huimin was still thinking about how to change the script, but Wang Jing only took a day and a half to bypass her and get all the male actors in the crew.

Looking at the male actors queuing up for autographs, Zhou Huimin's idea of ​​making major changes to the script gradually faded.

"Fatty, didn't you say you wanted to change Princess Taka to a supporting role? And there's also that so-called Murong Xian? Okay, let's just do it this way. Give these characters more scenes. I've also decided on the female roles. I'll play Jiang Yufeng, Yaya will play Su Ying, Reyiza will play Princess Taka, and Cui Bo will play Murong Xian."

When Wang Jing heard that his nickname included the word "death" again, he knew that Zhou Huimin was a little unhappy about his trying to get someone to sign the contract.

She was so unhappy that she asked for one of the two female protagonists. During the previous discussion, Zhou Huimin never mentioned the role of Su Ying.

But Wang Jing didn't want to argue anymore. For him, getting the show finished quickly was more important than anything else. Casting was just a small benefit, and at most there wouldn't be much money. The big money would come from selling the broadcasting rights after the show was finished.

Although it is indeed sad that one of the two female protagonists is missing.

Wang Jing was almost ready at this moment. Just as he was about to say "OK", he heard Zhou Huimin turn around and say to Liu Ying:

"Contact Yang Rong. I want her to play the role of Jiang Yuyan. Ask her if she can sign a contract with Yayue after our company is established. If she can, choose her. If not, find someone else. Oh, and remember to give Cui Bo a contract with Yayue."

"Okay!" Liu Ying nodded and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Wang Jing.

"no!"

Wang Jing seemed to be in a hurry, so his voice was a little loud. His voice instantly attracted the attention of all the male actors.

"Why not?" Zhou Huimin asked in a somewhat cold tone. She just wanted to teach Wang Jing a lesson to prevent him from doing anything evil again.

"I have already promised the role of Jiang Yuyan to someone else."

Seeing Zhou Huimin, who changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, Wang Jing cursed in his heart: Only women and villains are difficult to raise!
"Your promise wasn't mine. I don't care. It's settled. Go figure out how to explain it yourself."

After Zhou Huimin finished speaking, she was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Jing. She went back to the office on her own and slammed the door shut, which was obviously a sign of disrespect.

Wang Jing's face looked like a palette had been overturned, so colorful.

Damn! Is it so great to be rich and powerful?
He turned towards the male actors with a grim face. The commotion here was too eye-catching. A bunch of male actors were eating melons in a sneaky manner.

Noticing that Wang Jing turned around, everyone quickly lowered their heads and continued to read the contract, as if they wanted to read flowers into this standard contract.

Of course, there were also those who didn’t watch and were still happily chatting.

The only ones who dare to do this are He Daqi and Huang Xiaoming.

These two are the designated male protagonists, and Wang Jing can't control them. Moreover, Wang Jing has to come over to say hello and smile.

"Director Wang, please take care of me in the crew from now on."

Seeing Wang Jing coming over, Huang Xiaoming walked over very politely, bowed slightly, greeted him, and shook hands with Wang Jing enthusiastically.

"Take care of each other, take care of each other." Wang Jing's expression changed very quickly. In just a few steps, his stern face turned into a bright smile, as if he had not been cursing Zhou Huimin in his heart just now.

After shaking hands with Huang Xiaoming, Wang Jing turned to look at He Daqi cheerfully: "Qizi, can you please talk to Little Jew for me and let me play the role of Jiang Yuyan? I really promised someone else."

He Daqi shrugged innocently, "Director Wang, this is really difficult for me. I never asked about the role. Besides, it's just a role. At worst, when you make a movie in the future, you can just give the actress you broke your promise to this time the female lead, right?"

I don’t even know when I’ll be filming a movie! Wang Jing cursed inwardly, looking at He Daqi who was pushing and pulling, and felt a headache.

"Okay, you guys continue chatting, I'm going to go out and make a phone call."

Although Wang Jing cursed Zhou Huimin and He Daqi in his heart, he had a smile on his face and didn't look angry at all. He greeted them and turned to walk towards the stairs.

He Daqi didn't care too much about Wang Jing's slightly depressed back, and he continued chatting with Huang Xiaoming.

"Brother Xiao Ming, didn't you say last time that you were busy for the remaining months of this year? Why did you suddenly cut in line with Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wu Que?"

Huang Xiaoming asked back with amusement, "Daqi, you're not being honest. Didn't you say you were busy last time? How come we're on the same crew in less than a month?"

He Daqi laughed and didn't dwell on this issue any further.

The last time the two chatted at the awards ceremony, He Daqi was just talking nonsense.

Huang Xiaoming is not like that, his schedule is really that tight.

The reason why he was able to join the crew smoothly this time was that he postponed a movie. Fortunately, the investment in this movie was not large, and Huang Xiaoming was a smooth person. After covering the loss, he apologized and promised to join the crew immediately after the filming was completed. Only then did he squeeze out time to join the crew of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque.

He is not stupid. On one hand, it is a small-investment movie, and on the other hand, he is one of the two male protagonists in a popular project. Moreover, his partner is the popular He Daqi. Isn't it obvious what to choose?

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy.

In order to compete for the role of Yang Guo in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Huang Xiaoming almost used all his strategies. He even thought about announcing his relationship and trying to make himself famous.

What I didn't expect was that because he was usually sincere and humble, and he would say nice things when he met his seniors, he ended up getting the leading role in a hit drama for free.

Yesterday, not long after Yonghui Qiming announced that he would play Xiaoyuer, the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes immediately called him and said that he had been confirmed to play Yang Guo.

Is there double happiness?
Now Huang Xiaoming really thinks everyone is a good person, and he has been smiling since yesterday.

"Last time we chatted, I said I wanted to work with you. I didn't expect that less than a month later, it would actually come true. It feels like a dream. I feel so lucky to be able to work with you."

While chatting, Huang Xiaoming blurted out this sentence, and He Daqi didn't know how to respond.

Those who don't know might think this is flattery. Looking at Huang Xiaoming's sincere expression, He Daqi even wanted to change his words and call him "you".

Fortunately, the ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts and saved him from having to think about how to respond to Huang Xiaoming.

He Daqi smiled apologetically and took out his ringing cell phone to signal: "Sorry, Brother Xiao Ming, I have to take a call first. We can talk later."

"It's okay, just go ahead and do your thing. We'll be in the same crew for quite a while, and there'll be plenty of time to chat later." Huang Xiaoming moved aside and made a gesture of invitation.

He Daqi nodded and smiled, then walked towards Zhou Huimin's office with his mobile phone.

Seeing that the phone showed that it was Cheng Long calling, He Daqi had some guesses. He waited until the male actors were far away before he picked up the phone.

"Brother, why did you call me suddenly? Are you back in Beijing and want to have a drink with me?" He Daqi pushed open the door and entered Zhou Huimin's office while speaking.

"Qi Zai, you are very smart. I have indeed come to the city. How about it? Are you free to have a meal today? By the way, call the little Jew as well." Cheng Long asked casually.

"Um... today?"

"Yes, today. If you don't have time today, tomorrow is fine." Something's going on...

Especially since she asked me to call her Zhou Huimin...

He Daqi had already guessed what it was.

"Brother, wait a moment." After He Daqi finished speaking, he covered the microphone and looked at Zhou Huimin, who was smiling at him with her hands on her face. He asked, "Cheng Long said he wanted to treat us to dinner today. What do you think?"

Zhou Huimin thought for a moment, sneered and asked, "For Xie Tingfeng?"

"Probably."

"Hahahaha, go ahead. I want to see if he still has that arrogant attitude."

Looking at Zhou Huimin, who looked like she was calculating, He Daqi tutted his tongue, loosened his hand covering the microphone and said, "Brother, let's do it today. How can I put it off until tomorrow if you're treating me?"

He didn't mention at all that he had just asked others to wait, and that he wanted to ask Zhou Huimin for her opinion.

Cheng Long didn't seem to care at all. He laughed heartily and said, "Okay, come to my courtyard. I'll text you the address later."

"Okay, okay, that's it for now, um...bye."

After He Daqi hung up the phone, Zhou Huimin asked with a smile, "Where are we going to eat?"

"His home."

"Oh, the standard is quite high, it's a family dinner."

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was filled with haze.

The setting sun dyed the fruit basket in He Daqi's hand amber. The originally red apples in the basket now looked hazy and mysterious in the sunset glow.

He Daqi held a fruit basket in his left hand and two bottles of Fenjiu in his right hand. Zhou Huimin behind He Daqi was holding a set of Beijing Eight Pieces.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in front of the courtyard gate, both of them were full of admiration.

Cheng Long's courtyard house is located near Dongzhimen. It has three courtyards, and the first one is the back house and the gate.

The gate was open, and facing it was a large screen wall with brand new, shiny green tiles and freshly painted white walls. Set against the backdrop of the sunset, it looked particularly dazzling.

"This kind of courtyard will be really beautiful after renovation." Zhou Huimin did not rush in, but walked around the entrance of the courtyard with pastries in her hand.

He Daqi looked at the courtyard house in front of him and liked it more and more. He said softly, "The last time I had dinner with him, he told me that he bought eight courtyard houses. I wanted to buy one too, but it's a pity that buying one is too troublesome nowadays. Some courtyard houses cannot be renovated after purchase, so I never put it into action."

"Can we build a courtyard like this ourselves? Next year when we develop the community, we can build a quadrangle courtyard inside the community, and use the courtyard wall to separate the community from our house."

He Daqi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later. It seems that we are not allowed to build it now. We have to ask people, otherwise they might report it and demolish your house. Let's go in."

There was a gatehouse on the inside of the gate. The security guard hired by Cheng Long was sitting inside eating peanuts. He had just noticed He Daqi and Zhou Huimin, but because Cheng Long had greeted them and knew they were guests, he did not come out of the gatehouse.

He Daqi walked in and nodded at him with a smile, and the guard waved happily.

After entering the gate and turning left, you can see the hanging flower gate. On both sides of the hanging flower gate are two fish ponds made of black marble, which contain many koi.

He Daqi and Zhou Huimin glanced at each other casually, then carried their things and walked into the hanging flower gate.

Cheng Long came out of the main room with a big laugh. Seeing He Daqi and Zhou Huimin both carrying things, he said cheerfully and politely, "Come if you want to. Why are you bringing things? Isn't this being too formal with Big Brother?"

"These are all local specialties of ours. I wanted to bring them here so you can try them, big brother."

The three of them walked into the main room while talking.

At this moment, there was a large round table in the main room. The food had not been served yet. Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi sat beside the round table with expressionless faces.

When they saw He Daqi and Zhou Huimin following Cheng Long in, they both stood up.

Xie Tingfeng nodded politely, while Zhang Baizhi continued to have a blank expression.

He Daqi turned slightly and glanced at Zhou Huimin beside him.

At this moment, Zhou Huimin was smiling like a flower, which formed a sharp contrast with Zhang Baizhi opposite her.

This reminded He Daqi of when he attended the Golden Elephant Awards in April. The situation at that time was exactly the opposite of now. Zhang Baizhi was acting wildly on the stage, while Zhou Huimin sat in the audience with a stern face.

The world is unpredictable...

"Qi Zai, you won't blame me for inviting Feng Zai and Ah Zhi as well, right?"

Cheng Long wanted to pat He Daqi's shoulder, but suddenly remembered that He Daqi seemed to have periarthritis of the shoulder, so he changed the direction of his hand in mid-air and patted He Daqi's arm.

"That's not the case." He Daqi responded with a smile.

To be honest, He Daqi never took Xie Tingfeng seriously, or rather, he never cared much about people in the entertainment industry.

As a player who always wants to quit the circle, he doesn't want to make friends in this circle at all.

Cheng Long breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Daqi didn't look depressed.

He Daqi's sneer at the time: "Are you going to ban me?" made Cheng Long toss and turn and suffer from insomnia for more than a month.

Just now, He Daqi was sighing in his heart that the world is unpredictable, and Cheng Long was also sighing.

"It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I'm the host today, Qizi. I'll have Fengzi toast you a glass later. Let's let bygones be bygones..."

Dinner party, dinner party, the dinner comes first and the party comes later, but for the Chinese people, they often look at the party first and then the dinner.

Xie Tingfeng has really changed, which He Daqi can see. The way he speaks and acts now has a bit of Huang Xiaoming's flavor, which He Daqi did not expect.

It seems that suffering can really make people progress. In just ten days, the arrogance in the eyes of a popular young actor was smoothed away, and humility was embedded in his eyes.

Looking at Xie Tingfeng who bowed his head slightly and politely toasted him, He Daqi suddenly understood why Cheng Long was willing to help him.
