Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 357 I'm waiting for you in the car
After Li Binbin said "I do", Fan Binbin smiled playfully and glanced at Cheng Xi.

It looks like he's taking credit for it.

"Okay, with the two Binbin sisters joining, I'm not worried about Detective Chinatown 2 flopping."

Li Binbin: "Director Cheng, please don't do that. You haven't failed in any role yet. If you fail just because of your first collaboration with me, no one will want to act with me!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi burst into laughter.

This also attracted the attention of the people around, and they all looked towards Cheng Xi and Shuang Bing.

They all thought:

Director Cheng is really charming. It is rare to see these two rivals chatting and laughing together.

"Don't worry, the flop I'm talking about is a box office of less than 20 billion yuan."

As he said this, he winked mischievously at Li Binbin.

Li Binbin instantly felt that he was being seduced.

Whether it is this young and handsome face, or the 20 billion he said nonchalantly.

Is this the confidence of the number one commercial director?
Maybe such a capable and talented young man is also very good?
I just don't know if he has abdominal muscles.

Although Li Binbin was born in 73 and is now in his early 40s, his skin is still very well maintained and he doesn't look tired at all.

Especially the charm of a middle-aged woman, which does have its own charm.

But Cheng Xi didn't have any other thoughts about her, it was purely a business cooperation.

When it comes to happiness, he still prefers Fan Binbin who is in his early 30s.

Taste corrected.

It can also help me practice rope skills, what a great talent.

After a woman is forty, she is no longer her own goal.

Li Xiaoran was not yet 35 years old when she was dating me.

Fan Binbin: "Director Cheng, can Detective Chinatown 2 break the record of The Mermaid?"

Li Binbin also became interested after hearing this. She was also very interested if she could become an important supporting role in the number one Chinese film and television box office.

At this level, they have made almost all the money.

I value fame and status more.

Although Cheng Xi is confident, he will definitely not reveal it to them so easily. Could it be that the box office will increase by leaps and bounds in the future, and tens or even hundreds of billions will not be enough?

So Cheng Xi said while practicing Tai Chi:

"It all depends on the performance of the two Sisters Binbin. When the time comes, please promote it well for me."

"That would be great. When it's released, I'll tear it apart every now and then. The more ruthless the better. I'll give you two red envelopes then."

Li Binbin: "Director Cheng is really good, using us two to hype himself up."

Fan Binbin: "No problem, I can tear some people apart and get paid, so why not? It's a good opportunity for me to satisfy my urge to curse people out."

Li Binbin: "Tsk, are you really willing to fall for this?"

Fan Binbin: "I think you are scared. You have never won before."

Cheng Xi listened to the two people arguing with each other and wanted to ask when the two of them would come together to beat me up.

I promise to keep you company.

So he said cryptically:
"When are you going to take me with you, you idiots?"

Li Binbin didn't have any physical contact with Cheng Xi, so I didn't realize it at first.

But Fan Binbin understood Cheng Xi, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he pinched Cheng Xi again:
"You're thinking that!"

Looking at the two of them playing dumb, Li Binbin thought carefully about what Cheng Xi had just said and spat at him:
"You're really brave enough to think that, but I don't want to do that!"

"But does Director Cheng have abdominal muscles? If he does, I'll consider it."

After saying that, he actually reached out and touched Cheng Xi's abdomen.

You say it was intentional, but it also seems like a joke. Li Binbin got the degree of this just right.

As soon as Li Binbin put his hand on it, he felt it was hard.

Just when she wanted to touch it again to feel it, Fan Binbin reached out and pulled her hand away:
"Don't touch me, these abs are mine."

Cheng Xi was standing next to him, also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

I am a party involved, but I feel like an outsider.

Li Binbin knew it and was very brave. She even dared to kiss and touch Chen Kun's legs in front of many cameras at the press conference.

Touching Cheng Xi's abdominal muscles is a basic operation.

"Tsk, give it back to you. Director Cheng has so many girls watching him, you can't keep him."

Then he said to Cheng Xi:
"Director Cheng, you're so tough."

"I mean the abs."

After saying that, Li Binbin picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Cheng Xi, then ran off to socialize with other people.

"Humph, why are you being so coquettish in front of me?"

After Li Binbin left, Fan Binbin said directly, and then added:
"How about it, thanks for my assist?"

Cheng Xi nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll give you some credit."

However, given Cheng Xi's current status, it would be foolish for him to refuse anyone he invites.

It just makes things a little more interesting.

When Fan Binbin heard what Cheng Xi said, he slowly leaned forward, pressed against Cheng Xi's arm, and whispered:
"Well, I haven't been lately. Do you want to go upstairs like last time?"

"I'm busy. I have a lot of people to entertain."

The last time was when Li Yitong was asked to stand guard.

When Cheng Xi thought of that time, he also felt like doing something.

But Cheng Xi glanced at Reba and Nazha who were chatting with people not far away, and suppressed the desire.

After all, the two beauties are here, so I can't make it so obvious.

Fan Binbin: "How much time can I take up of you? Just a few minutes."

Cheng Xi: “.”

After provoking Li Binbin, he is now provoking me. He is addicted to the method of provoking others.

"Seriously, I have something important to do tonight. How about we wait for me in the car later?"

"In the car?"

When Fan Binbin heard this in the car, his body trembled slightly again.

She still remembers the last time in the parking lot.

At this moment, I can almost feel Cheng Xi's marker pen moving on my skin.

Then he scratched the back of Cheng Xi's hand with his fingernails and said:
"Then I'll wait for you. If you don't come, you're a dog."

After saying this, Fan Binbin shook her red wine glass and hips, blending into the countless guests.

Cheng Xi saw that no one was looking for him for the time being, so he stretched out his hand and greeted Deng Jie.

Deng Jie saw it and immediately left the guests who were trying to curry favor with her and came to Cheng Xi:

"Boss, you're looking for me."

"Well, let Zhu Zhu wait for me in the reception room in half an hour."

Deng Jie said "OK" and turned around to look for Zhu Zhu inside and outside the villa.

Originally, Zhu Zhu's status was not high enough to qualify for the celebration banquet, and her name was not on the invitation list prepared by the public relations department.

It was added by Cheng Xi on purpose.

After arranging this matter, Cheng Xi strode to Reba and Nazha.

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a while. When Ermei came today, it was Cheng Xi who personally went to the airport to pick her up.

At this time, Reba and Nazha were happily chatting with Yang Zi and others.

Reba was the absolute focus among the crowd.

Now she is the absolute top female star except Fan Binbin.

Yang Mi has now been left far behind in terms of movie star status and fashion resources.

Even her proud 30 million followers on Weibo are not as many as Reba's nearly 50 million.

Although there is some Zuibai management involved, it cannot escape the feeding and exposure of various resources. Coupled with the absolute weapon of being the spokesperson for League of Legends, Reba has an unusually balanced ratio of male and female fans.

Compared to celebrity idols who often have 80% to 90% female fans, their commercial value is much more substantial.

Seeing those old friends chatting and laughing, Cheng Xi felt more relaxed and less defensive about socializing.

"What are you all talking about?"

Hearing Cheng Xi ask this, all the girls covered their mouths and laughed.

Only Yang Zi said carelessly:
"We were just discussing where Li Binbin was touching. If Reba doesn't intervene, he'll run off with someone else."

Hearing this, Cheng Xi touched his nose with a little embarrassment.

"I can't help it. It's just too charming. It's my fault."

Everyone: “Tsk~”

Yang Zi: "Director Cheng is here, so I might as well interview him. How does it feel to be the number one box office director in China?"

Cheng Xi pretended to think:

"Well, I did have that feeling before, but unfortunately I'm used to it now."

Cheng Xi acted funny twice and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Reba: "Brother is still as shameless as before."

Yang Zi: "Brother and sister, I should have realized by my freshman year that something was wrong with you two."

Yang Zi's words sparked another round of discussion.

Cheng Xi asked Reba:

"How many days will you be back this time?"

"I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he also felt emotional. There is no end to making money, but people are getting busier and busier.

There's no way around it. Once you get there, you'll be pushed around.

It is very difficult to let go of a lot of things and stop.

"Well, don't get too tired, make sure to rest!"

"Yes, I will!"

Reba had already stood up at this time, holding Cheng Xi's arms with both hands, looking reluctant.

"Naza, what about you?"

"I took a week off to rehearse the graduation play."

Cheng Xi thought about it and realized, yes, Nazha is also going to graduate.

Even the three little ones, Zhou Ye, Tian Xiwei and Cheng Xiao, will be in their third year of high school in the second half of the year.

Time flies by so fast.

Looking at Ermei happily chatting with her friends beside me, I wonder how Nazha’s strategy is progressing.

He hasn't reported to me recently, and it feels like he has surrendered to Reba.

Could it be that Nazha has become a double agent?
Can she handle it with her intelligence?
Cheng Xi looked at Ermei's face and thought about the drama between Shuang Bing and Yi Dai just now.

Otherwise, I can also arrange a play with Reba and Nazha as the dual stars.

Beautiful stories between women, such as the one in "The Botanist's Daughter" starring Li Xiaoran.

Those who use public resources for personal gain should speed up the conquest of Nazha and let them come openly.

If I were to be the director and direct the play for them, wouldn't everything be natural?

At this moment, Cheng Xi had bad images in his mind.

Uh, you'd better be sober and don't think too much about it, it's easy to get arrogant.

There are so many people here, don’t make a fool of yourself.

If the two beauties from the Western Regions performed together.
I believe it will also be able to attract the audience's attention.

It can’t be released in China if it’s done like this!
We have to think of a way to arrange this script so that it suits the aesthetic tastes of the Chinese people.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Well, I was thinking about movies. How about arranging an award-winning movie for you and Nazha?"

Reba said in surprise:
"Winning an award is great, of course. All I need now is a masterpiece!"

Nazha said a little confusedly:

"Brother, can my acting skills win an award? Will it hinder my performance?"

Cheng Xi looked at Nazha's silly expression.

Others would be happy to have resources, but only she would consider whether she would mess up the show.

If everyone in the entertainment industry could be so self-aware, the film and television industry wouldn't have suffered such a cold winter later.

When Yang Zi heard this, she said with a bit of envy:

"Director Cheng, when will you arrange for me to make a movie that can win an award? It doesn't even matter if it wins an award or not. I want to make a movie too."

"Hahaha, don't worry, just finish filming 'Yu Zui' first. When I have some free time, I'll write a script specifically for you. Then you can give full play to your role."

When Yang Zi heard this, she became excited.

You came to Zuibai Entertainment just to get Director Cheng's good resources.

There is still hope with Reba. She has realized that Cheng Xi is not interested in her, but is very good to Reba.

He only treats me like a friend out of friendship. If I don't show my unique value, I will probably be the same as other artists in the company in Cheng Xi's eyes, nothing special.

I don't want to remain unknown in the new wharf.

Seeing Reba become so famous so quickly, it’s impossible not to feel a little jealous.

You know, when she was a freshman in the dormitory, Yang Zi was still a big star in everyone's mind.

And now everyone's attention is on Reba.

"Okay, Director Cheng, this is what you promised me in front of Reba, and Nazha and the others heard it."

"You, I, Cheng, never lie to women, okay?"

They chatted about their recent work and gossip, and Cheng Xi went outside the villa again and chatted with the guests by the swimming pool for a while.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Deng Jie came to Cheng Xi and whispered:
"Boss, Miss Zhu Zhu is already waiting for you in the reception room."

Cheng Xi nodded.

When the others saw this, they also knew that Cheng Xi must have something wrong.

So everyone drank a glass and let him go.

Zhu Zhu had been waiting in the reception room for more than ten minutes.

When Zuibai Entertainment invited her, she initially thought it was because she had worked with Director Cheng in "The Empress of China".

So I sent myself an invitation.

It was only when I arrived at the celebration banquet that I realized how high the standard was today.

It seems that my status is not enough to squeeze in.

However, she was also a worldly-wise person and quickly integrated into the social interactions.

Especially with the actors I had worked with before, such as Andy Lau and Fan Binbin, they started chatting and laughing happily.

The connection between Fan Binbin and Andy Lau was established in "The Empress of China", and the connection between Fan Binbin and Andy Lau was established even earlier. Her first time on the big screen was when she collaborated with him in "What Women Want".

That was four or five years ago.

But I still wonder why I was invited here.

Not to mention, Director Cheng’s personal secretary invited her to the reception room, saying that Cheng Xi wanted to see her about something.

This made her even more curious.

Is Director Cheng going to invite me to act in a TV series again?

Oh, I won’t guess anymore. We’ll know everything when Director Cheng comes.

Thinking of this, he picked up the wine glass, leaned back on the sofa, and drank it in small sips.
