Chapter 466: Chapter 467 The Secrets Between Me and Stars (6)
The host finally came back to his senses. Perhaps because he realized that he was a superfluous existence to Wu Lefeng, he was a bit embarrassed and dissatisfied. He did not wait for Wu Lefeng to speak and rushed to say: “Okay, let’s congratulate this lucky Mr. Chu and his… his two girlfriends with a round of applause.”
Amidst the applause from the audience, the host announced that the movie was going to start playing soon and let us leave the stage. The transition from climax to dull was so abrupt. Although there were so many people who had mistresses these days, it was still surprising and unbelievable that one would publicly announce that they had two girlfriends. It was no wonder that the atmosphere suddenly became so dull. People just didn’t have similar experiences and didn’t know how to express their feelings.
But one person was obviously an exception. When the pretty female lead Tong Feifei walked by my side, she said coldly with a voice that was clear enough for us to hear, “Humph! Just one shameless man met another shameless man!”
Shameless man? What did she mean? And who was she talking about?
“Xiao Fei!” Her female manager reprimanded her. She snorted disdainfully while glaring at Wu Lefeng, then suddenly quickened her pace and stepped off the stage. The female manager nodded at us apologetically and quickly followed her.
A shameless man met another shameless man? Was she talking about me?!
When I finally reacted, Tong Feifei had disappeared from my sight. However, I was self-aware, so I did not feel angry. Instead I looked at another ‘shameless’ man with interest.
Wu Lefeng coughed embarrassingly and said self-mockingly, “The young people nowadays generally have a bad temper. Please don’t keep it in mind, Mr. Chu. If you don’t mind, please go to the lounge for a while. My assistant Avril will let you know the details of the dinner.”
It’s just a meal, so what details are there to talk about? Some dinner etiquette?
While I was confused, I followed the female assistant named Avril. Wu Lefeng did not follow us. When I looked back, I noticed that he was standing at the door talking to Mu Rui.
“Wait a minute.”
The director, Hu Yan, who had just gotten rid of the person in charge of the cinema called out to us and trotted to us. However, after this odious-looking short fat man arrived before us, he did not say anything. He only squinted his small eyes and looked at the three of us up and down, making me feel very disgusted.
People could not decide their own appearance, so having an ugly appearance was not his fault. But I just couldn’t stand him looking at Liusu and Dong Xiaoye with such eyes. Moreover, I also couldn’t stand him pretending to be sophisticated. His every move, every word and deed showed signs of contrivedness, like an actor who worked hard, but his acting skills were really bad.
Obviously, the shrewd and capable female assistant Avril didn’t like Hu Yan either. She didn’t deliberately conceal it, and asked Hu Yan impatiently: “Mr. Hu, is there something you want to say?”
“No.” This man’s reply made me speechless. If he didn’t have something to say, why did he want to stop us?
Avril frowned and said, “In that case, I will take Mr. Chu and the two young ladies to the lounge…”
Before she finished speaking, Hu Yan interrupted and said calmly: “Okay, I’ll go with you too. It’s not convenient to talk here. ”
This time it was not just me who was speechless. Didn’t he just say that he didn’t have anything to say?
No wonder the movie made by Hu Yan was difficult to understand, because he himself was a person who was difficult to understand. He deliberately sent away his assistant, making it look like he wanted to plot something secretly with us, but in the end, he just sat in the lounge, drinking tea and listening to Avril telling me about the evening arrangements.
Although he didn’t speak, he was not quiet. The sound of him smacking his lips made me and Avril almost crazy. It was so annoying! On the other hand, Liusu and Dong Xiaoye seemed to admire everything this director did. No wonder people often say that comparing with other people only leads to extreme anger. If it was me, the two women would have trampled me under their feet already.
The so-called “dinner arrangement” was a bit of a misnomer. It was actually just to tell us how to get out of the cinema without getting the attention of the reporters. Dinner with Wu Lefeng was a publicity event arranged by the organizer. However, no one wanted to be surrounded by all kinds of cameras during the meal. This was also the condition proposed by Wu Lefeng. The organizer had no objection to it. After all, when the winner of the event was revealed, the purpose of the promotion would already be achieved. As for the details of the dinner, making it mysterious would be more attractive, and it would also make the audience look forward to the next similar event.
In order to avoid any disturbance, we didn’t need to go back to the previous screening hall. We could go to the VIP hall to watch the movie “Fickle Love”. We gladly accepted it. When Avril finished explaining, Hu Yan on the other side put down the teacup and suddenly Said: “Mr. Chu, is it convenient to talk a few words alone?”
Although I didn’t admire Hu Yan, he was a well-known director. So when he said that he wanted to talk to me alone, I was somewhat surprised and honored, “Sure, but…”
Hu Yan seemed to like to interrupt others, “Avril, you can take the two ladies to the VIP hall first.”
“Wait—” I wondered: “Can’t they listen?”
Hu Yan smiled slightly and said mysteriously: “I said very clearly, and I think Mr. Chu also heard it very clearly, I hope we can talk alone.”
I did not like this guy’s tone of voice. It was so domineering and demanding. Why should I accept it? Just because he is famous? If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t want to ruin the atmosphere in front of Liusu and Dong Xiaoye, I wouldn’t agree to his request at all.
I really didn’t understand the psychology of fans. Hu Yan was neither handsome nor had a good reputation, but Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were very excited. I believed that if I refused, they would be the first ones who got angry with me. In the end, I had no choice but to accept it. Anyway, I was also curious about what this director wanted to tell me, this ordinary man.
Before leaving, the two women kept mouthing to remind me not to forget Hu Yan’s autograph. Hu Yan could also tell what they were saying, so he quickly signed on a movie poster and handed it to them without any hesitation, making those two foolish fans very excited.
“Sit.” Hu Yan leaned on the sofa inelegantly after Liusu and Dong Xiaoye left, looking very tired. He lazily pointed to the sofa opposite him, then tore a bag of potato chips, handed it to me, and said:” Want some? ”
“No, thank you, “I shook my head and sat down, “Mr. Hu, what is it that you want to talk to me alone?”
“I just have a question,” Hu Yan grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed it into his mouth, “Do you want to be an actor?”
“What?” His words were so shocking that I thought I had misheard what he had just said.
“I’m sorry, maybe telling you in this way won’t make you feel excited or motivated.” Hu Yan sat upright and swallowed the potato chips. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, assumed a serious expression, and said, “I want to know if you want to be a star? A superstar who will surpass Wu Lefeng in fame, fortune and status.”
I felt that he was joking, even though his expression was very serious. , “Mr. Hu, stop pulling my legs. My girlfriends are still waiting for me to watch a movie together.”
“Do you think I’m joking?”
“Are you not?” I chuckled, “Asking me to become an actor? What kind of joke is this? I have never learned to act, and I can’t act…”
“You can,” Hu Yan cut me off. “Not only can you act, but your acting skills are also very superb. Everyone’s reaction on and off the stage earlier is enough to prove this.”
My heart trembled, and the cold sweat oozed out from my forehead, “Mr. Hu, what do you mean by this?”
“The girl who came on stage first is not your girlfriend, is she? And the one who came on stage later should be your real girlfriend.” Hu Yan said casually, as if he had no interest in debunking this lie.
Without waiting for me to argue, he continued: “There is no need to talk about what I think is bad acting, but I think there are three kinds of good actors. One is that they can play any role you give them and deceive the audience. But this kind of actor lacks creativity, and they always rely on the script. However, roles are just roles in the end. Although this kind of actor can give life to the roles assigned to them, there is no soul in those roles at all. Therefore, this kind of actor can only be regarded as the inferior ones, and they can be found in all the acting schools. For example, Tong Feifei in this movie is this kind of actor…”
I always thought that Hu Yan was an overrated director, but I did not expect that in front of an outsider like me, he frankly admitted that Tong Feifei’s acting skills were not excellent. My impression of him immediately changed slightly. After all, honest people normally would not be disliked by other people.
