Full-time actor

Chapter 487 [52] Yifei comes out, one is worth two?
"Brother, why are you so persistent?"

In a private room of South Beauty in the imperial capital, Jiang Wen was laughing and cursing in his familiar voice.

Zhou Yun next to them was chatting quietly with Liu Yifei about interesting things in the circle.

Yesterday, Chen Yu told Jiang Wen on the phone that he wanted to invite her daughter to film a movie, but Jiang Wen flatly refused. So Chen Yu had no choice but to return to the capital and invite the "couple" to get together.

Old Jiang’s daughter, whom Chen Yu had seen many times in the media in his previous life. She was a very beautiful Chinese-French mixed-race girl with a very unique name - Jiang Yilang!
Sounds like Jiang Tailang.

After that, Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun had several children, and their names were more bizarre than the other, Cilang, Ma Hu... Of course, Jiang Wen's real name was not much better, Jiang Xiaojun, and his brother Jiang Wu was called Jiang Xiaobing, and they all grew up in the military compound.

Jiang Yilang is currently 11 years old, which makes him very suitable for Chen Yu's new film.

"You didn't ask your daughter's opinion, how do you know she disagrees?"

Chen Yu was smiling, Jiang Wen glanced at him and said nothing.

"This requires her mother's consent, right?"

Chen Yu pointed out the biggest crux of the problem.

Chen Yu actually knew something about the relationship between him and his daughter; from the media in his previous life and after getting along with Jiang Wen in this life, he was able to infer some things.

"I don't really want her to go down this path!"

"Do you understand?"

Jiang Wen picked up some food and spoke slowly. There was nothing to hide between him and Chen Yu.

"It's different, brother, I really can't find a suitable one!"

"Just consider it a favor for me. If she doesn't want to, I'll just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Chen Yu clinked his beer glass with Jiang Wen's. This was already an exception. All his colleagues knew that Chen Yu did not drink. He insisted on doing so even at celebration banquets and other occasions.

It was outrageous that he could have a drink.

"It's really inappropriate..."

Jiang Wen sighed, drank the small cup of white wine in front of him, and then said: "Some things, once you take a step forward, there is no turning back!"

It doesn’t mean that Jiang Yilang will never act again just because he helps Chen Yu play a role.

The probability of this is very small.

Many actors are bound to acting for the rest of their lives once they step out. Jiang Wen actually doesn't want his daughter to show up in public, but this is not his business. This is just his idea as a father.

"Brother, I think your idea is wrong!"

Chen Yu suddenly whispered in his ear: "After you divorced your ex-sister-in-law, did Yilang come under the care of her mother? Will she have to go to France?"

"Well...she has to go to France soon!"

Jiang Wen’s ex-wife Sandrine is French, but unlike ordinary French women, she has loved Chinese culture since she was a child. She is a senior sinologist and a complete expert on China.

Her main research topic is China's Taoist culture, and she is very obsessed with it and has published many papers on Taoism.

She had been doing research in China before, met Jiang Wen, got married and had a child, and is now a teacher at the University of Paris, so Jiang Yilang had to follow her.

"I think filming can strengthen the relationship between you and your daughter!"

The media all know that there is a rift between Jiang Yilang and Jiang Wen, the father and daughter. Their parents are divorced, and the child is still young and hasn't seen him all year round, so their relationship must be bad.

"Come on!"

"I asked her if she wanted to be in a movie, and she shook her head and said no!"

Jiang Wen felt that Chen Yu had found the wrong person: "Brother, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't help you. Why don't you find someone else? Isn't it easy to find a 10-year-old girl?"

"It really won't work. You'll know when you read the script!"

"It's a difficult role to fit in, but what you just said is wrong. Your daughter said she doesn't want to make a movie, so she probably doesn't want to make your movie. Who likes to be watched by their dad every day? Children definitely don't want to be controlled by others!"

"What the hell -"

Jiang Wen felt that this guy's words were really hurtful, but after thinking about it, he felt that they did make some sense.

"You think so. If she really agrees to film, will you come to visit the crew?"

"You're talking nonsense! I only see you a few times a year!"

"Her mother doesn't have time to look after her..."

"Isn't this enough?"

Chen Yu spread his hands and said, "No matter if we have time or not, we should respect the little girl's opinion. If she really wants to, it's actually a good thing. You two can see her more often, and you don't need to take so many photos every time you see her!"

Jiang Wen met Jiang Yilang very seldom. Every time he went to Paris to visit her, he would see new changes in his daughter, which made him very happy. So he took a lot of photos with a digital camera, and after returning to the capital, he would print them out and keep them at home. Sometimes when he missed his daughter, he would take them out and look at them.

This matter is no secret in the circle.

Anyway, Chen Yu has already used all the tricks he can to deceive people.

The only difficulty at the moment is that Jiang Wen’s ex-wife, the little girl Chen Yu, seems easy to fool.

If it really doesn't work, then forget it. He just thinks that the little girl Jiang Yilang is quite suitable for his film.

That face is quite classy and suitable for the big screen.

Jiang Wen was somewhat moved by Chen Yu's frequent meetings. To be honest, the person he was most worried about in his life was his daughter. If he could film with Chen Yu, wouldn't they be able to meet anytime and anywhere? !

"When the time comes, you can just post a supervisor or something—"

"and many more!"

Jiang Wen suddenly came to his senses and said, "Boy, are you trying to get me to be the producer?"

"It's just a figurehead, who told you to take it seriously?"

"For your daughter's sake, if Yilang doesn't want to act, you'll lose your position as producer!"

Jiang Wen: “…”

Is this guy serious?

"Go ahead and fight me. If you really don't agree, then I'll give up!"

"Just shoot this one movie. If she doesn't want to be an actress in the future, isn't it up to you?"

There are many people who made movies when they were young and then worked in other industries when they grew up.

"Okay, then I'll ask her opinion!"

“My daughter is very independent!”

Jiang Wen is a complete daughter-slave to his daughter. Although he is a rough man, he is as humble as a bastard in front of Jiang Yilang. You can tell from the interview that he is bullied by his daughter in various ways.

When facing the media, he talks endlessly about his daughter.

Of course, many people in this circle who have daughters are like this, Zhang Yimou, Han Sanpin... they are all similar.

I have not been around since I was a child, and I always feel like I owe you a lot.

"I'll go out and make a phone call!"

Jiang Wen said this to Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun didn't think much about it and watched Chen Yu and him walk out in cahoots.

"I'm so secretive when I'm talking to my daughter on the phone!"

Zhou Yun complained to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei knew about Jiang Wen's family and felt the same way: "My dad used to call me like this when I was a kid!"

"Are you afraid that your father's current wife will find out?"

"maybe!"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I can understand him now!"

Outside the door, Jiang Wen had already called his daughter Jiang Yilang. Looking at Director Jiang, who was used to being arrogant in front of others, he was now visibly nervous and uneasy. "Brother, can you stop shaking your hands?"

Chen Yu teased, Jiang Wen wiped his pants with his hand and glanced at him: "Am I shaking?"

"No, tell me now!"

Chen Yu urged, the call was already connected.

"Yilang, I'm Dad!"

Chen Yu, who was standing nearby, almost burst out laughing when he heard Jiang Wen speaking in a gentle and humble voice, but he still had to control the expression on his face.

"I know!"

A slightly cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, is mom here?"

"Did you make mom angry again? She has been crying for a while!"

"..."

Jiang Wen was sweating. Jiang Yilang didn't know about their divorce yet.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have made this call!"

Jiang Wen covered the microphone and looked at Chen Yu unhappily.

Chen Yu shrugged and quickly signaled him to get to the point. He didn't ask you to reminisce about the past...

"Dad has a friend who wants to invite you to make a movie. Are you willing?"

"I don't want to!"

Jiang Yilang answered straightforwardly. Jiang Wen next to him spread his hands towards Chen Yu, as if to say, "Did you hear that?"

"Okay, Dad will just ask you!"

"Which friend of yours?"

Jiang Yilang suddenly asked.

"Chen Yu, the one that dad told you about, the one who is very popular in China right now!"

"Chen Yu?"

Jiang Yilang muttered the name, and when Chen Yu was a little desperate, she said, "I'll ask my mother!"

"Ah? You agree?"

Damn, what’s wrong with you?

Jiang Wen looked at Chen Yu with a look as if to ask, why did my daughter change her mind after hearing your name?
"how could I know?"

Chen Yu also looked puzzled. Of course, he was not so narcissistic as to think that his charm was great enough to allow him to be so popular.

"No, but I've heard of his name!"

"Well, he is quite famous in China!"

"Then discuss it with mom. If you really want to take the photo, call dad!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Yilang's tone was still very cold. Jiang Wen felt helpless and had to hang up the phone.

"I called you, but I don't know if it will work or not!"

Jiang Wen looked helpless, and Chen Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I owe you a favor. Let me invest in your next drama!"

"Really?"

Jiang Wen understood what was going on after hearing this.

One phone call in exchange for an investment in a drama, this is a good deal.

"You said so. My daughter didn't shoot, but you did!"

"Yes, I said so!"

The two of them walked into the private room one after the other. Liu Yifei couldn't help but come up and ask, "Is it done?"

"No, it's not that easy!"

"No, we have to keep looking..."

Chen Yu drank a sip of wine in a depressed mood, and then ate for a while. Then Jiang Wen received a call from his ex-wife.

"You guys go ahead, I'll call you when the time comes..."

Jiang Wen now feels a headache when he sees the call from his ex-wife.

But Chen Yu asked him for help, so he couldn't refuse his brother.

"Anyway, leave this to me. I'll do my best to get it done for you, okay?"

Jiang Wen had said so much, Chen Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only leave with Liu Yifei.

"Sister Yun, are you leaving?"

The two people greeted Zhou Yun and then got into the car.

"The little girl disagrees?"

In the car, Liu Yifei asked.

"I don't know. The little girl really didn't want to take the photo. But when she heard my name, she was quite interested!"

"Just blow it..."

Liu Yifei stretched out her slender fingers and poked Chen Yu's temple.

"Really, I also wonder, how can an 11-year-old girl know me!"

"I know you are normal..."

Liu Yifei didn't think it was strange: "So what do you say now? Director Jiang disagrees, or the little girl's mother?"

"It should be... her mother!"

Chen Yu was guessing, and Liu Yifei's dark eyes turned, and she understood a little: "Then I understand!"

"Leave it to me, I'll help you get this done!"

"Aha?"

Chen Yu had a black question mark on his face: "You?"

"What? Looking down on me?"

"No no!"

Chen Yu waved his hands hastily, his face full of desire to survive: "Even if I look down on everyone in the world, I will never look down on my wife..."

"Virtue~~"

Liu Yifei smiled and said calmly: "I just think that this little girl looks a lot like me. I'll ask my mother to go with me to her house to have a chat!"

"..."

Damn, is this possible?
But this is indeed a good idea!
