Chapter 484 Han Fei's Movie (4000 views, please vote)
After leaving the zoo, Han Fei received another call from Li Xue. She had not found any information related to the owner of the shrine, but they had found information about Boss Gu.

That man was a local tyrant in the county. He later disappeared unexpectedly, but the charitable foundation he established before his death was preserved and has now grown many times over, becoming a well-known charitable organization in Shanghai.

In order to completely sever Boss Gu's roots, Han Fei inquired in detail about the charity organization, and as a result, he made an even more astonishing discovery.

After Boss Gu's death, the charitable foundation was on the verge of dissolution due to insufficient funds. It was Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical that provided a sum of money to help it through this difficult time.

But from that time on, the charitable foundation that originally belonged to Mr. Gu became affiliated with Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical. In recent years, they have been committed to helping orphans and disabled children, and have launched many medical projects to treat children's mental illnesses and congenital brain defects. Most of these projects are in cooperation with private hospitals built by Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical itself.

What surprised Han Fei the most was that the charitable foundation also had dealings with the private plastic surgery hospital built by Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals, and many disabled orphans had received free treatment and physical restoration at the plastic surgery hospital.

"Li Xue, who is the person in charge of their charity organization?" The private hospital of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals has been abandoned and all the data has been destroyed. If we want to find out the secrets, we may have to consider obtaining information from other angles.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to donate some money to them and see how they actually use it." To investigate some matters, Han Fei decided to spend a "little" bit of money. If they really used the money for good deeds, he, the donor, would accumulate merit, which he could use to upgrade his shrine. If his merit didn't change, it meant there was definitely something fishy going on behind this charitable foundation, and they might be doing something shady for the Immortal Pharmaceuticals.

“The person in charge is named Kong Dongliang, but he’s probably very busy. If you donate too little, you might not be able to see him.” Li Xue made it very clear on the phone: “I advise you not to use this method.”

"It's alright, my money isn't so easy to take." After acquiring the Soul Trading feature from the Level 3 Shrine, Han Fei would always have a strange feeling. As long as someone took his things or became involved with him, they would be subtly influenced.

Han Fei also wanted to try it out and see if it was just his imagination, which is why he made this decision.

Since he's going to accumulate good karma through donations anyway, he might as well choose this one; perhaps he'll even get some unexpected benefits.

After hanging up the phone, Han Fei felt very strange. The police had not found any information about the owner of the shrine, and Han Fei still did not know the owner's real name, as if the other party's name was truly unspeakable.

Will the unspeakable things in the deeper world also disappear in reality?

Looking back, it seems that Fu Sheng was in a similar situation. People only knew him as the chairman of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals, but did not know that the chairman had an older brother.

As the sun set and the streetlights came on, Han Fei was about to go home when he suddenly received a call from Director Zhang.

Filming had finished. Han Fei initially wanted to pretend he hadn't seen it, but considering he might have to work with Director Zhang again later, he hesitated for a long time before finally answering the phone.

"Sigh, it's so troublesome for people with social anxiety to answer the phone; it involves going through layers of psychological maneuvering."

As soon as he pressed the answer button, Director Zhang's voice came through the phone: "Han Fei, did you have some kind of conflict with Bai Xian?"

"No," Han Fei said, somewhat surprised.

"Then why did he book a plane ticket overnight to go abroad as soon as he heard that he was going to attend an event with you?" Director Zhang said earnestly, "You two are the actors I value most. If there are any conflicts, we can put them out in the open and talk them out."

"I have a very good relationship with Brother Bai. A few days ago, we even did a heroic act together, and Brother Bai took me home in the end."

"Are you sure nothing unpleasant happened between the two of you? Bai Xian has changed his phone number and cell phone number to avoid you. I thought he was emigrating yesterday." Director Zhang's "The Suspense Novelist" hasn't been released yet. If there's a conflict between the lead actor and the leading supporting actor, it might affect the box office.

"Something unpleasant?" Han Fei thought for a long time and roughly understood the reason: "Director Zhang, I know what happened."

"Tell me about it, and I'll help you find Bai Xian and resolve your conflict. He should still give me face," Director Zhang said confidently.

"Here's what happened. On the night of the event, Brother Bai drove me to the suburbs to track down the murderer. Later, we found a suitcase in an abandoned building. I felt something was strange, so I asked Brother Bai to take out his phone and film the whole unpacking process."

"and then?"

"We opened the box and found a corpse." Han Fei said this, and then there was complete silence on the other end of the phone: "Director Zhang? Are you still there?"

After a long pause, Director Zhang finally spoke: "Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel like I understand Bai Xian a little better."

“Think about the logic carefully. If I didn’t suspect there was a corpse hidden inside, why would I go and open the box? Since you guessed there was a corpse inside beforehand, why would you be afraid after seeing the corpse?” Han Fei tried to reason with Director Zhang.

"Han Fei, you are an excellent actor in the horror genre, but you must understand that not everyone is as good as you." Director Zhang could already picture Bai Xian's expression at that moment. "Come to Baixiang Pavilion tonight. The CEO of Xingyu Entertainment and Bai Xian will also be there. Everyone has worked hard filming, so it's a good time for everyone to get together and relax."

I'm afraid I won't have time tonight.

“You need to balance work and rest. You’re not a superman; you can’t always be on edge.” Director Zhang smiled helplessly. “I worry about other actors’ lack of self-discipline, but I worry about you being too self-disciplined, leading to excessive physical and mental stress. Come on, the boss of Xingtu Entertainment also wants to meet you. Although they are a top-tier entertainment company, they don’t have any noteworthy artists left. Besides an action star who just can’t seem to become famous no matter how much they promote him, they only have Xia Yilan, who is known as a pretty face in the industry. If you go there now, it will be a godsend, and you can definitely secure a very good contract.”

"Xia Yilan?" Han Fei had been in the world of memories for a long time, but he had not forgotten this woman.

When she was young, she had undergone a full range of treatments at the plastic surgery hospital of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals, which seemed to have stolen someone else's face. She was unimaginably beautiful when she was young, and she was able to enter the ranks of near-first-tier actresses based on her beauty alone. Unfortunately, she later fell to the second tier due to a lack of works and her advancing age.

She rarely takes on acting roles now, mainly participating in various events to maintain her public profile. Han Fei had even met her once at a preview screening of a previous film festival.

The fastest way to investigate a plastic surgery hospital is to contact patients who have received treatment there.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After leaving the zoo by taxi, Han Fei headed to Baixiang Pavilion, located at the intersection of the smart city and the old city.

This hotel features a variety of entertainment facilities, combining the technological feel of a smart city with the unique atmosphere of old Shanghai.

After giving his name, the waiter led Han Fei directly to the top-floor private room.

The owner of Xingtu Entertainment attached great importance to this private gathering with Director Zhang, spending a lot of money to book the largest private room, which not only has a place to eat, but also private cubicles and various entertainment facilities, so you can have as much fun as you want.

As soon as the door opened, music and singing came out, showing that the soundproofing of the private room was excellent. No matter how noisy it was inside, it couldn't be heard outside.

"Han Fei is here!" Director Zhang waved Han Fei over directly: "President Li, without exaggeration, this young man is the most outstanding young actor I have encountered in the past ten years."

Director Zhang was generous with his praise for Han Fei, because he felt that no amount of praise was too much: "Four stories high, even stunt performers felt it was dangerous, but he just jumped down in a flash, and his emotions and acting skills exploded at that moment! You can watch suspense novels; from the moment he stood on the balcony, it was destined to be a classic shot."

Mr. Li was not tall; he was a mature middle-aged man with a beard. He was dressed very formally, and when he saw Han Fei coming over, he took the initiative to get up and shake hands with Han Fei.

In the eyes of most entertainment company executives, actors are just tools. They can make you famous if they want to, and ruin you if they don't. Few are as sincere as Mr. Li. However, this also shows that the internal situation of Xingtu Entertainment is not very optimistic.

"From 'Twin Flowers' to 'The Suspense Novelist,' you are truly the fastest-improving actor I have ever seen." President Li was very enthusiastic, and Han Fei also wore a professional smile.

As Han Fei walked toward the dining table, he immediately spotted Bai Xian and sat down next to him. "Brother Bai, your new phone is pretty cool."

"Brother, please let me go. Every time I close my eyes, I see that scene from back then. I can't even eat meat now, and my stomach is full of acid." Bai Xian held his wine glass, appearing very elegant on the surface, but inside he was extremely flustered.

"It can't be that bad, the body is still quite intact."

"You mean you've seen incomplete ones too?"

"I've probably seen every shape you can imagine." Han Fei was still a bit socially awkward; he didn't like being in crowded places, so he could only chat with Bai Xian: "What exactly did Director Zhang call us here for?"

“StarMap Entertainment wants to collaborate with Director Zhang, betting the company’s fate on their next film. Sigh, they’re a veteran entertainment company, it’s a pity they’ve fallen to this state.” Bai Xian quietly pointed to the entertainment room and the booths next to it: “See those young people? StarMap has been pushing them, but they’re hopeless. Their acting skills are terrible, but they’re all quite arrogant.”

Only Bai Xian, a veteran actor, could say these things. He had been nominated for Best Actor several times and was on the verge of becoming a top-tier star.

"I remember Star Entertainment used to produce some A-list actors, didn't it?"

“The truly talented actors leave when their contracts expire. I feel like they’re trying to get you to sign long-term contracts through collaborations now. You need to be careful. They’re begging you now, not the other way around. Don’t back down if they offer too little.” Bai Xian was an experienced person and knew the ins and outs of this.

"Han Fei, I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon." Xia Yilan walked down from the small stage in the private room; she was the one who had just been singing.

This woman is over thirty years old, but every move she makes is still very attractive; her beauty seems to transcend time.

Upon smelling that familiar, stench emanating from the depths of his soul, Han Fei already knew who had come.

He greeted Xia Yilan politely with a smile on his face.

"Don't be so formal. Maybe we'll film our next movie together." Xia Yilan sat down next to Han Fei very naturally. "I really envy you guys. Judging from the pre-sales of 'The Suspense Novelist,' it's already doing very well. It has broken the pre-sale record for suspense movies. You're definitely going to be a huge hit."

Xia Yilan took the tea off the table and replaced it with wine: "President Li wants to collaborate with Director Zhang on his next project, taking advantage of the popularity of 'The Suspense Novelist' to challenge himself with another suspense drama."

“Suspense dramas aren’t easy to make. You have to start polishing the script. You’re only seeing the popularity of suspense dramas now, but you don’t think about how much effort we put in to create a good work.” Bai Xian didn’t touch the wine glass on the table. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to Han Fei, basically reminding him to stay sober and not to sign the contract in a daze.

Bai Xianren is a very nice person, but his worries are unnecessary.

In the private room, only Han Fei could completely ignore Xia Yilan's beauty. He knew exactly how Xia Yilan got that face, and more importantly, he could smell the stench emanating from her.

"You don't need to worry about the script. We adapted it based on real events." President Li walked over with a smile after hearing Bai Xian and Xia Yilan's conversation. "A few years ago, when there were major breakthroughs in biotechnology, there was a surge in cosmetic surgery. People kept pursuing the limits of beauty. At that time, many unregulated cosmetic surgery clinics also appeared, which led to some tragedies."

Han Fei originally had no interest in Mr. Li's movie, but after hearing what Mr. Li said, he slowly raised his head: "The suspense movie you want to make is related to plastic surgery?"

"Yes, real fear doesn't necessarily come from ghosts and monsters, and plastic surgery can't change a person's mind."

"If your company is going to make a film, the female lead won't be Xia Yilan, will she?" Han Fei asked, looking at Xia Yilan.

“Yilan has always been the second female lead, and this time we want to give her our full support, but we are currently lacking a male lead who can act alongside her.” President Li sensed that Han Fei was interested, but he seemed to have completely misunderstood Han Fei’s interest.

Han Fei nodded: "If Director Zhang agrees to film, I can also come and help you."

Filming is secondary; Han Fei's main goal is to investigate the truth. If he can use filming as a pretext to communicate with Xia Yilan, he should be able to truly uncover her inner secrets.
