Full-time actor

Chapter 225 [52] Meeting Zhou Xingchi twice!

"The people coming to us now are President Wang Yongde of the Central Academy of Drama and Secretary Hao Rong of the Performance Department..."

"Of course, there's also Chen Yu, who just won the Berlin Film Award this year!"

"Currently, he is still a freshman in the Department of Acting at the Chinese Theater Academy!"

"..."

Following the introductions of Miao Miao and Jing Wei, Chen Yu followed the school leaders and walked to the auditorium of the venue. Although the red carpet lasted less than a minute, Chen Yu still felt the pressure doubled.

This was the first time he had met the dean of the Central Theater Company. The old man seemed very kind and kind, mainly because he was said to be retiring this year.

Chen Yu also knew his successor, Liu Guofu, the examiner of their major exam last semester.

Entering the venue, he also saw his seat.

Sure enough, he was not sitting with the performance department class. He was in a row with Jiang Wen and Xia Yu, and Zhou Xingchi and Wang Zhongjun were sitting in front of them.

But Chen Yu was sitting at the far end, with Xia Yu on the left, and then Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and others.

It can be seen that this is also based on seniority.

Fortunately, he knew Xia Yu very well, not to mention Jiang Wen.

"Congratulations, junior!"

Xia Yu smiled at Chen Yu, and Jiang Wen couldn't help but come closer: "Where is your little girlfriend?"

"behind!"

Chen Yu pointed in the direction of the performance department, and Xia Yu's eyes suddenly widened: "School girl?"

"Look what you're making a fuss about!"

Jiang Wen patted Xia Yu and said, "Isn't this our tradition in dramas?"

"This is called keeping the rich water from outsiders' fields!"

"..."

No problem.

Chen Yu looked at the two of them, this is really a tradition.

Jiang Wen is about to get married to Zhou Yun, and Xia Yu's girlfriend, Yuan Can, will also be a "model couple" in the industry in the future, although they broke up several times due to interference.

"Okay, this tradition must be maintained!"

Xia Yu also made a joke, and the commendation meeting officially began at this time. None of the three people liked this tone, but there were many reporters present, so they could only listen to it.

It is nothing more than a glorious resume of drama within the narrative.

I’m not going to brag about it, but the performance department of China Central Television really doesn’t sound too exaggerated. Given its strength on paper, which school’s performance department can compete?

After finally getting through the speeches of many leaders, the next step was the commendation session.

All invited graduating students from China Drama will receive medals and honorary certificates of “Outstanding Graduates of Chinese Drama”.

Chen Yu was actually lucky enough to get one.

He is the only one among these people who has not graduated yet but has received this honor.

After everyone took a group photo, the school anniversary event also kicked off. It was nothing more than Chinese opera students performing various performances there.

There were various interactions on stage during the period, and Chen Yu was of course invited to the stage several times.

"Tell me about you, Liu Yuan tried every means to hold this school anniversary for this Berlin Best Actor!"

"It's really hard for him!"

Jiang Wen looked at Chen Yu who had just finished his performance and walked off the stage, laughing.

Chen Yu also found it difficult to break down: "I really didn't expect this limelight!"

Fortunately, the school anniversary only lasted for more than 2 hours, and then there was free time for everyone.

Chang Lilima took Chen Yu to meet a group of old artists who graduated from the Chinese Opera. On this occasion, of course everyone praised him; and Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li had met them last time in Berlin. They exchanged a few words with each other again.

"Chen Yu!"

At this time, Wang Zhongjun suddenly shouted to Chen Yu. Chen Yu walked to Huayi and greeted the big and small kings and Zhang Yongli from Taihe.

"Master Xing said he recognized you!"

Wang Zhongjun smiled, and then Chen Yu looked at Zhou Xingchi beside them and shouted: "Master Xing!"

"Well, I recognize you!"

Zhou Xingchi spoke Cantonese and Mandarin and smiled at Chen Yu.

Wang Zhongjun, who was next to him, immediately came up to him and said, "Master Xing recognizes you, you are really going to be popular!"

"No, that can only mean that the celebrity is paying attention to the film and television industry!"

Chen Yu was modest there, but Zhou Xingchi shook his head: "Well, no, it was Sister Fang who told me!"

"She called me last time and told me that she met an actor in the Mainland who is very good at kung fu and asked me if there are any roles suitable for you in the new film. I looked at your resume and can only wait until next time!"

Zhou Xingchi shook hands with Chen Yu, and Chen Yu suddenly realized that it was Mei Yanfang who told him.

"As seniors, you should support the younger generations. Sister Fang's tradition!"

"But now that you have won the Berlin Film Award, and the school praises you so much, there should be no shortage of resources!"

Zhou Xingchi smiled slightly, and Chen Yu nodded: "Well, I will thank Sister Mei in person!"

"You actually even know Sister Mei, that's amazing!"

Wang Zhongjun looked at Chen Yu with admiration. Mei Yanfang was the absolute eldest sister in Xiangjiang circle.

And she is the only one who can be called Sister Fang by Zhou Xingchi.

"No, Sister Mei takes care of it!"

"Come on!"

Zhou Xingchi patted Chen Yu's arm, and Chen Yu smiled: "Yes, thank you Mr. Xing!" With that, Chen Yu walked back to Jiang Wen.

This was just a greeting from Zhou Xingchi in front of Anita Mui. He probably wanted to let himself know that Mei Yanfang had helped him in this way.

Chen Yu did feel a sense of gratitude in his heart.

After all, just like the Golden Rooster Award, the other party really kept me in mind.

Moreover, if Zhou Xingchi had not told this matter, Chen Yu might never know about it in his life.

Soon, the school anniversary was over.

Many of the artists here are very busy, and being able to squeeze out such a few hours is enough to show their respect for their alma mater; China Drama cannot rely on them, so they greeted one by one, and soon everyone disappeared in the big hall. In the auditorium.

Chen Yu wanted to keep the appointment. After talking to Liu Yifei, he took a taxi and drove towards the place where he had made an appointment with Mei Yanfang.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Yu arrived at the Hong Kong-style restaurant he had agreed with Mei Yanfang.

Mei Yanfang hasn't arrived yet.

Chen Yu casually ordered a drink and waited there.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mei Yanfang walked in with a white-haired man, chatting and laughing. Who else could it be if it wasn't Master Xing?

"Is he the heavyweight guest that Sister Mei wants to introduce?"

It's really heavyweight.

"Yu Zai!"

Mei Yanfang saw Chen Yu as soon as she came in, and immediately waved her hands to greet him. Zhou Xingchi was obviously stunned, and then smiled a little.

"What's wrong, you two?"

Mei Yanfang looked at Chen Yu and Zhou Xingchi who were smiling, but she introduced herself: "This Liao Ji restaurant is opened by my friend!"

"I just met Master Xing this afternoon!"

Chen Yu immediately told Mei Yanfang about being in the drama, and Mei Yanfang laughed: "Really? What a coincidence?"

"Sister Fang, you are very fond of Yuzi!"

Zhou Xingchi pursed his lips, and Mei Yanfang hurriedly said: "No, Yuzi's family works very hard. Didn't I tell you last time that many people were still doing kung fu on the rooftop at 1 o'clock in the morning!"

"And I speak Cantonese very well. Now I am the Berlin Best Actor. Isn't it more than enough for acting?"

"How about it?"

Mei Yanfang patted Zhou Xingchi on the arm: "Are you considering a new movie?"

"Okay, consider it, definitely consider it, for your sake, you have to consider it!"

Zhou Xingchi was a little convinced. The two of them were talking in Cantonese, and of course Chen Yu understood them.

He thought Zhou Xingchi was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that the next sentence would be directly directed to him: "Come to my place tomorrow and let's talk about the characters!"

"what?"

Chen Yu really didn't expect that Zhou Xingchi would give Anita Mui so much face.

You know, the outside world's reputation for Zhou Xingchi has always been very bad; either his character is not good, or he regards wealth as his life, so he doesn't have any friends around him, but in fact, he still has friends in the circle, but his personality Because of that, I just don’t want to contact you.

Mei Yanfang is definitely one of them. When she passed away in her previous life, Zhou Xingchi attended her funeral and said many times that his favorite song was Mei Yanfang's, and he liked all her songs.

"Thank you then, Xingzi!"

Mei Yanfang smiled heartily, and Chen Yu immediately said to Mei Yanfang: "Sister Mei, I really don't know what to say!"

"Don't feel any pressure!"

Mei Yanfang took a picture of Chen Yu, showing her elder sister style.

At this moment, Chen Yu really felt an indescribable feeling; because even if he was a reborn person, he could not reverse her life.

He was terminally ill and there was nothing he could do.

“Order food, order food!”

Mei Yanfang snapped her fingers, and then handed the menu to Chen Yu and Zhou Xingchi: "You can order whatever you want to eat!"

The two of us ordered some casually.

Chen Yu suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "Sister Mei, are you planning to hold a concert in the imperial capital this time?"

He also spoke in Cantonese.

"No, the concert was originally approved, but because of SARS, it had to be postponed!"

"My agent doesn't have time to come to the mainland, and I happened to have an appointment with Director Zhang to sign a contract, so I came by the way!"

In just a few sentences, countless information is revealed.

Chen Yu did know that if she did not die next year, the last movie in her life would be Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers". She was the first actor to be cast in Zhang Yimou's film.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou filmed it too late, and Mei Yanfang was too ill to continue filming.

The concert in the Imperial Capital also became her own regret during her lifetime.

In the Mainland, she was banned for 5 years for singing "Bad Girl"; she finally got unblocked and got approval for two concerts in Magic City and Beijing. Last year, she held one in Magic City, and Imperial Capital was originally scheduled. It will start singing next March.

Unexpectedly, we encountered SARS again.

Later, due to her health and the preparation for the SARS charity performance in Hong Kong, her illness worsened, so she had to hold a final farewell performance in Hong Kong; therefore, this performance in the Imperial Capital became her unfulfilled "swan song"!

"Sister Mei, are you and your brother the same agent?"

Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, mainly because she had just mentioned that her agent was unavailable.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Are you a fan of Leslie's movies?"

Mei Yanfang grinned. Her tone was actually teasing. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, can you help me? Can I get an autograph?"
