Chapter 10 Zhang Chen's Thoughts
Chapter 10 Zhang Chen's Thoughts
Why do people like to talk about things while drinking? Because when the alcohol enters the stomach and enters the blood through the capillaries in the stomach, the body will quickly enter a state of tipsiness.
In this state, people are most talkative and often make witty remarks.
There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and 55 of them sing and dance after drinking. The Han is the exception, they only know how to brag.
Cao Bingkun thought Zhang Chen was bragging.
"Come on, tell me, who do you want to be the heroine? Zhao Yanzi or Fatty Fan? Or Mr. Zhou?"
Zhang Chen laughed when he heard this. He was indeed a little drunk, but not to the point of talking nonsense.
"Lao Cao, let me ask you, is there a student named Che Xiao in your college class?"
"Che Xiao? Yes, she is a senior from the 00 level, but she has already graduated."
Zhang Chen slapped his forehead. When Lao Cao said that, he remembered that the college and vocational classes at Beijing Film Academy were two-year programs. Che Xiao was from the class of 00 and had already graduated.
"Why, heroine, you want to find him?"
Zhang Chen nodded.
"Why her?"
"What's up with her?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious, do you two know each other?" Cao Bingkun's face was full of gossip.
Zhang Chen shook his head.
"Then why did you think of looking for her? You don't want to pursue her, do you?"
"How could that be? I haven't even met him."
"Actually, I think it's okay to pursue her. She's very beautiful."
Zhang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense! Do you need to tell me that Che Xiao is pretty? The coal boss has personally certified it."
"Is there anyone in our Beijing Film Academy who is not pretty?"
"Haha, that's true. Beijing Film Academy doesn't have much else, but it's full of handsome men and beautiful women. Do you know her? Her parents are both in the industry. Her mother is a first-class actress in the General Political Department Repertory Theatre, and her father played the role of the Golden Horned King in Journey to the West. How about it? Do you want to give it a try? I can introduce you to someone."
"Why, you two know each other well?"
"Of course, I, Cao, am also the number one figure in my college class." When talking about this, Cao Bingkun immediately looked arrogant.
"Then let's make an appointment. Let's find a time this afternoon. How about that?"
"No, are you serious?" Cao Bingkun had the illusion that he was slapped in the face for bragging.
"of course."
"Uh... bro... are you always so direct when pursuing girls?"
"What about chasing girls and talking about movie protagonists? Is there anything else in your mind besides hormones?"
……
At dinner time, in a teahouse near the Chaoyang Theater in Haidian, Zhang Chen and his friend were bored, drinking tea while waiting.
"Why did you meet in such a place?"
"She said she was watching a play nearby, so I decided to book the venue here. She can come directly here after the show."
As they were talking, the bell at the door rang twice, and then footsteps came towards the private room where they were.
The two people in the room perked up.
Then the door curtain was lifted, revealing Che Xiaolai standing outside, but she was not alone, there was another girl outside.
"Senior sister is here, please come in. Hello, beautiful lady, please come in too~"
Cao Bingkun stepped forward to say hello, looking like a lackey.
After letting the two people in, Zhang Chen stood up and took out two new teacups and filled them with tea.
"Please take a seat."
"Thank you."
The two of them walked in, nodded politely to Zhang Chen, and then sat down.
Che Xiao is very tall, estimated to be about 1.7 meters tall. Coincidentally, the girl next to her is also not short, so the two of them look about the same height.
Zhang Chen thought the girl looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. Cao Bingkun next to him spoke first: "My beautiful lady, why do you look so familiar to me? Did you play that girl in "The Beauty and the Beast"? "
The girl smiled brightly when she was recognized. Che Xiao then introduced her, "This is my friend Zeng Li. We watched a drama performance nearby today and came together after the show. Do you mind?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind. How can I mind meeting a beautiful woman? Wait, Zeng Li? Are you Zeng Li? Zeng Li, the most beautiful woman in the Central Academy of Drama?"
Zhang Chen covered his face. Lao Cao's acting was too exaggerated. This guy must have recognized the other person as soon as he entered the door. He had heard the name Zeng Li from Lao Cao many times before.
Zeng Li waved her hand and smiled: "What about the most beautiful girl in the Central Academy of Drama? That's just a joke from my classmates."
Che Xiao seemed to have noticed something and took the opportunity to joke, "Cao Bingkun, I didn't realize you know so much about beauties."
"No, no, it's the senior sister who is more famous."
Cao Bingkun waved his hands embarrassedly, knowing that his little trick had been seen through.
"Oh, I was so happy to see you, I forgot to introduce you. This is my buddy, Zhang Chen from the Directing Department, Class of 02, and our junior. He has admired you for a long time, and he begged me to introduce you to him."
Cao Bingkun kept talking nonsense, and Zhang Chen really wanted to kick him, but it could be seen that he and Che Xiao seemed to have a really good relationship.
Fearing that Che Xiao might misunderstand, Zhang Chen quickly explained: "Senior sister, don't listen to his nonsense. Actually, I recently wrote a movie script and wanted to invite you to be the heroine, but I don't know you, so I asked Lao Cao to introduce you."
"Hahaha~" Cao Bingkun laughed heartlessly beside him: "It's like this, I was just joking just now."
"Movie script? The leading actress?" When Che Xiao heard it was a movie, her eyes immediately lit up. Not only her, but also Zeng Li next to her had a different expression.
Very few students who graduate from art schools can directly appear on the big screen; most of them start on the small screen.
What's more, she is the heroine.
Zeng Li is a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama in 96. It has been several years since she graduated. She has appeared in some TV series and has some representative works with good ratings, such as "Beauty and the Beast", but she has never appeared in a movie.
Che Xiao also knows her own business. Although she has starred in a TV series, it has not been broadcast yet. Moreover, she was able to perform in this role entirely because of her mother's face. Now someone suddenly comes out and tells her that he thinks she is suitable for the heroine of his movie. How can she not be moved?
But they are not rookies and although they did not show it on their face, they still had to maintain basic vigilance.
"Can I take a look at the script first?"
"of course."
Zhang Chen took out the script and handed it over. Cao Bingkun did not forget to flatter his brother: "This script is amazing. Yesterday, he and I went to meet Professor Fu from the Directing Department. Not only Professor Fu, but all the teachers in the room praised it highly and are already helping to prepare the crew."
"Really?"
"It's true, of course it's true, truer than pearls."
Cao Bingkun's witty remarks made everyone laugh. Zhang Chen discovered that this guy would always come up with witty remarks whenever he saw a beautiful woman.
"Let's read the script first."
The private room fell silent, leaving only the sound of flipping papers. Zhang Chen stood nearby and watched quietly.
Frankly speaking, if we only look at her image, Che Xiao is not suitable for the role of Sarah. Her image is more intellectual, which is very suitable for roles such as female white-collar workers, female executives, and independent women. There is still some gap between her and Sarah in the movie.
But if Zhang Chen wants to attract investment, the heroine of this play must be Che Xiao.
As a native of a coal-producing province, Zhang Chen is naturally familiar with what happens in the coal-producing province.
The most regrettable thing was the major counterfeit liquor case in 98. The blending of industrial alcohol caused 27 deaths and countless people became permanently blind. It directly hit Fenjiu hard and it took more than ten years to recover.
But the most gossipy thing is of course the luxurious wedding held between the richest man in the coal-producing province and actress Che Xiao in 2010.
It is said that the wedding cost 5000 million RMB, including a convoy of 200 luxury cars, 500 banquet tables, 9999 red lanterns, and food costs of RMB per table.
Everyone present will receive a red envelope of 500 yuan.
The scale was unprecedentedly grand. It can be said that before Huang Xiaoming's century wedding that cost 200 million yuan, the wedding of Li and Che Xiao was the most luxurious wedding in China.
Naturally, Zhang Chen also paid attention to such big news back then. Not only that, he even learned about it in detail.
So he knew that a few years later, in order to create an opportunity to meet Che Xiao, the richest man Li spent 200 million to ask Uncle Long to arrange a dinner party.
Look, how arrogant!
This is exactly what Zhang Chen was thinking.
Since Mr. Li, the richest man, can spend 200 million to organize a dinner just to get to know his goddess, he can definitely spend 200 million to invest in a movie to make his goddess happy.
Of course, the two of them probably don’t know each other yet, but that doesn’t matter.
From what Mr. Li did later on, it was clear that Che Xiao was his ideal type. Zhang Chen believed that even if the two had known each other a few years earlier, they would still have had a chemical reaction.
