Chapter 400 Don’t care about your deeds

at the same time.

Feng Xiaogang drove his Ford Tempura to the entrance of the Beijing People's Art Theatre and resisted the urge to honk the horn.

These days, driving a car is certainly something to brag about for ordinary people, but the Beijing People's Art Theatre has also produced many big stars. Showing off a Ford Tempest here inevitably raises suspicions of bluffing in front of Guan Yu.

So he rolled down the car window, struck what he considered his coolest pose, and waited for Xu Fan to come and join him.

What he didn't know was that Xu Fan had already arrived at the gate, but needed to mentally prepare himself before coming out immediately.

Feng Xiaogang immediately called Xu Fan to tell him about joining Yuanmeng.

But as he talked on and on about the gift Zhang Yan had given him and the bright prospects after joining Yuanmeng, Xu Fan didn't feel much joy. Instead, he felt a sense of suffocation and irritability.

After all, she had once coveted Zhang Yan, but later, due to unforeseen circumstances, she chose to give up.

Although she knew that even if she didn't give up, she would most likely lose to Chen Hong, who would fantasize about being a loser?

So that feeling of resentment lingered like a leech, and with Zhang Yan's continued success, it grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Of course, this does not mean that she will give up on Feng Xiaogang.

On the contrary, she now has to act like a virtuous wife in front of Feng Xiaogang so that she can at least secure the status of a famous director's wife in the future.

So after adjusting her mindset, the moment she stepped out the door, her eyes were full of joy and admiration, especially when she saw Feng Xiaogang, her steps were as joyful as a young girl's.

"Are you anxious?"

Xu Fan walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door, and said while fastening his seatbelt, "I originally wanted to come out earlier to wait for you, but something came up and I was delayed."

"It's okay."

Feng Xiaogang waved his hand domineeringly: "I used to come by bicycle, and it was embarrassing to wait too long. Today is different; I'd love to stay a little longer."

He wasn't usually a sophisticated person, so Xu Fan didn't feel surprised or uncomfortable like Director Chen's ex-wife when he heard this.

Instead, she covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "You can say that after we buy our own car."

"Don't worry, we'll have a house and a car—we'll be just like Zhang Yan and Chen Hong, living in a villa, driving luxury cars, and flying thousands of miles a day!"

Feng Xiaogang chatted away with great enthusiasm the whole way, and Xu Fan's worries were somewhat relieved by his outlook on the future—Zhang Yan was good, but he wasn't someone she could hold onto; Feng Xiaogang was a better fit for her.

As for whether Feng Xiaogang noticed Xu Fan's intentions?
It would be a lie to say that you didn't notice anything at all, but in this industry, if you don't even have this much 'magnanimity,' then you have to be better than everyone else.

Feng Xiaogang doesn't think he can do that now, so it's best to remain ignorant and judge by actions rather than intentions.

The two drove to the dormitory area of ​​Beijing Film Studio, where Ge You was already waiting at the gate. However, Han Sanping was also there.

"Oh, Director Han!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Xiaogang quickly opened the door and got out of the car, bowing as he took the initiative to greet him.

"Haha, Director Feng."

Han Sanping was also more polite than before, and took the initiative to shake hands with Feng Xiaogang, saying, "Your trip to Tianjin this time was quite remarkable, truly a place where fish can leap freely in the vast sea and birds can soar in the boundless sky!"

Feng Xiaogang quickly replied modestly, "I don't deserve such praise; I appreciate your kind words."

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. It was indeed good to have a powerful backer. He had never seen Han Sanping be so polite when he was with Dingli.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Han Sanping prepared to leave: "I won't keep you any longer. See you in Tianjin in a few days." "Then it's settled. I'll be your greeter then."

"Haha, no need for welcoming guests. Come with me to check out the 'Gan Shijiu Mei' crew. I heard they're trying to blend the action movie styles of mainland China and Hong Kong."

The script for "The Book and the Sword" is ready, but Andy Lau is still busy with the upcoming film "Heaven and Earth" and is expected to be able to find time to film in mainland China until the end of August.

This is the first major project led by Han Sanping after he took over Beijing Film Studio. Naturally, he hopes to make it as perfect as possible, so he plans to take the opportunity of attending the wedding to learn from the August 1st Film and Television Base.

Feng Xiaogang and the others got into the car only after Han Sanping left.

As Feng Xiaogang started the car, he exclaimed to Ge You, "Youzi, this time I'm finally going to take off! By the way, do you remember that gathering in '91? Back then, Zhang Yan and I were at the very back, while Wang Shuo and Li Chengru were sitting in the middle. Who would have thought that just a few years later, the seating arrangement would be completely reversed?"

Ge You couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when he recalled that gathering from years ago.

Back then, if he hadn't been known as the son of Ge Cunzhuang, he probably wouldn't have even had the chance to sit at the bottom of the table. But now he's a renowned Cannes Film Festival Best Actor winner.

Zhang Yan, who was underestimated by Wang Shuo at the time, made an incredibly brilliant turnaround, even acquiring Wang Shuo's hard work and completing a complete transition from the old to the new.

However, Ge You remained calm and reminded him, "This revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard, you must not get carried away."

"Don't worry, don't you know my temperament?"

Feng Xiaogang slammed his horn and said, "The reason I asked you to come to Tianjin is because I was afraid I wasn't important enough—with a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor like you here, our film can definitely be launched as soon as possible."

"Let's not flatter each other since we're all family."

As the two were talking, Xu Fan suddenly interrupted, "I heard that Gong Li and Zhang Yimou are also in Tianjin. It seems that Zhang Yimou is doing well in Hong Kong. Do you think he might join Yuanmeng?"

"This……"

Feng Xiaogang had never really paid attention to this before. After all, in his preconceived notions, even if Yuanmeng were a leader in mainland China, it couldn't compare to the allure of Hong Kong, the Hollywood of the East.

But when Lung Wu and Andy Lau went to Tianjin to pay their respects, his thoughts changed somewhat—perhaps the big fish in ...

After considering all this, Feng Xiaogang became a little apprehensive. He was full of confidence in competing with Zhang Guoli, but the thought of competing against the then-dominant Zhang Yimou...

He didn't go to fulfill his dream to be subservient to others!
After thinking for a moment, he said to Xu Fan, "When you see President Chen later, please ask around for me. It's not easy for me to ask about this myself."

"Okay, I'll try asking."

Since their interests were intertwined, Xu Fan naturally wouldn't refuse to help gather information. Moreover, she was also a little curious whether Gong Li would join in the dream-fulfilling process.

…………

Film base.

Gong Li was in a state of anger that only grew stronger the more she thought about it. She carefully considered the meaning of Zhang Yan's words. Wasn't he saying that Chen Hong was treating her like a tool?

Or rather, the 'Trophy Man'.

That's practically like not treating yourself like a human being!
How dare she underestimate me like that?!
Gong Li gritted her teeth in hatred. She knew that Chen Hong and Zhang Yan's wedding was just a few days away, and Chen Hong was still trying to deceive her and play with her. Wasn't she afraid that the fake would become real and backfire?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Naturally, she was unwilling to suffer in silence, but when it came to retaliating, she couldn't find Chen Hong's weakness.

After all, the other party is a ruthless person who can even 'lend' her fiancé.

What should I do?!
