Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

"Thank you, thank you everyone for coming!"

In Theater Two, on the stage, Ye Chong and a group of the main creators nodded their thanks to the audience.

The premiere of "The Unknown" has ended.

The social scene in the entertainment industry is just beginning, on the fourth floor of the hotel next to Sunshine Cinema.

Champagne towers were erected, the spacious hall was brightly lit, and four long tables were filled with all kinds of food. Guests entered and left one by one.

"Teacher Tian, ​​haha, please come in."

"Mr. Shi, you really don't have time? Oh dear, you're making it seem like this young Ye doesn't know any manners. Next time, next time you must let me do my best to be a good host!"

"I have a class. Oh, you should have said so earlier. Zhu Yawen, go see Professor Cui off."

After Ye Chong finished greeting the guests, he glanced around and realized that there were only a few people left.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. You can't rush things."

"Oh my, now you've figured it all out, but I bet you're just all talk and no action?"

A distinctive, sweet voice rang out. Ye Chong turned his head and saw a girl wearing a mask and a white floral dress looking at him charmingly on the red carpet in the aisle.

"Hey, stop watching! You've been watching for two years and you're still not tired of it?"

"Little potato." Ye Chong felt a warmth in his heart, and the next moment he grinned, revealing a憨憨的 (simple and honest) smile: "I can't get enough of looking at you, I could look at you for a lifetime and still not get enough!"

"You're such a chatterbox!" Yifei wrinkled her nose, then crossed her arms and glanced at him sideways. "Oh dear, I'm hungry. I wonder if any kind soul will invite me to get something to eat."

"I……"

"I'll do it!" With a sweet shout, Chen Zhixi rushed out and grabbed Yifei's hand.

"Huh? X2"

"Yifei is hungry, and you won't let her in! You're punished by facing the wall for three minutes!"

After saying that, Chen Zhixi pulled Yifei away.

"No way!" Ye Chong clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm picking up girls?

"Old classmate! You're here!"

A skinny monkey came running from a distance; it was Shi Weicong.

"Let's go in, I need to talk to you about something."

Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chen Zhixi sent Yi Fei away so that I could handle these matters first?

She's so lazy!

The two arrived at the center of the reception and raised two glasses of champagne.

Ye Chong glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself that today's banquet was a waste.

"bite--"

"Speak."

Shi Weicong gave him a strange look: "You seem to be in a hurry?"

"What the hell is it to you!" Ye Chong glared at him irritably.

Although this guy was two years older than him, he was always joking around and never serious. After he transferred to the directing department, this was the only guy he really got along with.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Shi Weicong pouted, teasing but not forgetting the important matter: "You promised me before, hmm, do you remember?"

Ye Chong frowned. Had he made any promises to this person?

Wait, could it be...?

"Come on, come on!" Ye Chong's disdain instantly turned into friendliness: "We're all classmates, would I make things difficult for you? Forget about being the assistant director, I'll support you to be my cameraman."

"Then please let me go. I'll go lick Xiao Xiao's boots!"

Ye Chong looked at him with disdain: "So you do know you're a simp!"

"Same to you!"

At this point, the two exchanged a glance and burst into lewd laughter!

In the distance, Yi Fei, Cui Xinqin, and Chen Zhixi were chatting.

Although Chen Zhixi is from the Central Academy of Drama, she is a social butterfly, especially since this is a party for the film "The Nameless".

"Hmm, I feel like their smiles are so lewd." Yifei twirled a small cake between two fingers, taking small bites, but her eyes remained fixed on the scoundrel in the distance.

Cui Xinqin and Chen Zhixi exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding.

"Yifei, have you been busy lately?"

"Huh?" Yifei snapped out of her daze, put the small cake in her mouth, and then picked up a tissue from the table to wipe her mouth.

The soft, murmuring sounds, combined with the bulging little steamed buns, made them adorable from every angle.

"I've been reading a script lately, and those lines are spoken by a spinster in her fifties or sixties. It's so annoying!"

"Pfft..."

Although they had met before, they hadn't had a detailed conversation. Now that they had a real interaction, Chen Zhixi understood what made this girl so adorable.

Simple, innocent, or rather, naturally unwilling to engage in any scheming or backstabbing, living a very authentic life!

Hearing this, Cui Xinqin chimed in, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your sister hope."

"Hey, hey, hey." Chen Zhixi waved his hands repeatedly: "How can you ask me this? I wouldn't dare to show off my limited skills in front of you."

"Hehehe, don't flatter me, this girl Sisi..."

The three chatted for a while until Ye Chong and Shi Weicong finalized the contract details and came to the group.

"What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a lot of fun. Hello, Teacher Cui."

"Hello, Ye Chong, you've made something of yourself."

Ye Chong smiled shyly: "What are you saying? No matter how successful I am, I'm still your student. It's just that you're busy and I didn't ask you to supervise the production. Otherwise, if you saw the show I acted in, you would definitely criticize me again."

"Hehehe...you're still so quick-witted!" Cui Xinqin was pleased by his flattery. She glanced at Yifei and didn't intend to stay any longer: "Good directing, keep up the good work next time."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher."

"I won't bother you any longer."

"Huh?"

"Ahem." Chen Zhixi coughed and waved to the two of them. "I'm leaving too. There's pudding over there. Bye-bye! Teacher Cui, wait for me..."

"Hmm..." Yifei rolled her eyes, then suddenly turned and walked away: "I want to eat pudding too."

"Ahem!" Ye Chong coughed and stood directly in front of her.

"Liu Yifei, can we talk about something?"

Yifei looked at him suspiciously, wondering what he was up to.

Although the two had a fight last time, it didn't leave a rift, but an invisible awkwardness still lingered between them.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Chong took a deep breath, surprisingly not engaging in small talk, but instead straightening his expression and inviting, "There's a play on September 15th, are you coming? If you are, I'll let you know at the end of August, we're in a tight schedule."

"your?"

"mine."

Yifei blinked, looking at the man who was so entangled with her, a man whose eyes were filled with honesty and expectation.

He seemed to have changed; he was no longer in a hurry or impetuous, and his entire demeanor exuded composure and order.

"If I don't come, my mom won't agree. The casting for 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' is coming up soon, and she..."

"You live for yourself, don't you?"

Yifei frowned.

She didn't like Ye Chong's words, but Ye Chong's tone was very calm, without the slightest hint of sarcasm.

"My mom's opinion is my opinion. Do you really think she doesn't consult me ​​before making decisions?"

Ye Chong pressed on, "So you're saying you won't come? Then I hope you will."

"But I..."

"I hope you come." Ye Chong repeated the sentence to himself, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, as if it were a casual chat between old friends.

"..." Yifei let out a long breath, pursed her lips, and turned her head away.

"Can……"

"Thanks."

Meanwhile, at the reception following the premiere of Huayi Brothers.

The king frowned as he listened to his subordinate's report.

"You mean, the audience at their premiere gave it rave reviews, not a single negative one?"

"That's right!"

"How is that possible? Film critics can be bribed, but can all the audience members also be bribed?"
