Chapter 83 Rich People's Hobbies

After the contract was signed by the crew, artist and studio, Shen Lang officially joined the "Black Gold" crew to play the role of Zhou Chaoxian!
In the evening, in order to celebrate Shen Lang's joining, Mai Xiongxiong specially invited the main staff and leading actors of the crew to have dinner and sing.

When we arrived at the hotel, we found that the two leading actors, Liu Dehua and Chen Jiajun, were not there.

Mai Xiongxiong said, "Boss Xiang is going to a banquet with Mr. Liu and Miss Chen today. We don't need to wait for him. Let's eat!"

When everyone heard this, they felt a little envious.

It’s not about the meal. Who hasn’t eaten a meal?

For an actor, his life in front of the public should revolve around his work.

But in fact, the lives of actors are the same as those of ordinary people. They also have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and have social interactions.

Big names like Liu Dehua have connections in every industry! Why?
Isn’t this just this kind of interpersonal communication?

But what no one expected was that Chen Jiajun was obviously just a newly debuted, almost amateur actor, so why did Xiang Huasheng take him out?

"Pretty girls are perfect for livening up the atmosphere at the table. There's nothing special about them!"

The speaker is Li Jiqun, a veteran actor from Wandao. He started out as a crosstalk actor with great acting skills. He is also a well-known veteran in both Mainland China and Taiwan!
When everyone heard this, they all laughed in approval.

At this time, Li Jiqun stood up with a glass of wine and said, "Teacher Shen, come on, I've heard a lot about you. I'm also a famous villain. Let's have a drink together!"

Shen Lang picked up the wine glass and said, "I'd like to ask Teacher Li for more guidance!"

Mai Xiongxiong laughed and said, "Teacher Li, you don't know how much effort I put into inviting Mr. Shen. I flew all the way to the capital just to invite Mr. Shen. It will be absolutely wonderful to have him act with you!"

Li Jiqun smiled when he heard this, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

Because he has been filming in the mainland for many years, he is relatively familiar with mainland actors.

He had heard of Shen Lang before. His most famous role was undoubtedly Kong Jiawen, a domestic violence man who left a deep impression on people.

Even after watching the movie, he had to admit that Shen Lang was indeed very talented in playing that kind of hysterical role.

Later I heard that this guy had recently filmed a few popular scenes, in which he played either a corrupt official or a pervert.

But after reading the script of "Black Gold", he didn't believe that Shen Lang could handle the role of Zhou Chaoxian.

why?
Zhou Chaoxian's character has too many facets in the script.

Not to mention that he is vicious and ruthless, the key point is that he is not a gangster who loves to fight and kill. He is very smart. After being plotted against by Minister Hou, played by himself, he immediately started to plan a counterattack.

He was crazy about women and would often beat and scold his wife Cui Miaoxiang. Whenever he was unhappy, he would just look at her and Cui Miaoxiang would become as obedient as a cat.

But he is more loyal than other gangsters in movies. He does not despise Choi Miaoxiang's past, and he will kill anyone who dares to insult his wife without hesitation.

It is already difficult for an actor to control the two faces of a character in a play, let alone such a complicated character as Zhou Chaoxian.

So is there anyone that Li Jiqun thinks is qualified to play the role of Zhou Chaoxian?

Yes, that is... himself, Li Jiqun!

"Teacher Shen, to be honest, I really want to play your role!"

"Who knew Director Mai wouldn't even give me this opportunity!"

Shen Lang was surprised and asked, "I remember you have filmed many gangster movies and played many gangster bosses in them! Why?"

"Yeah? Why? I asked Director Mai the same question at that time!" Li Jiqun's face was full of resentment!

"Guess what Director Mai told me?"

Shen Lang became interested: "What did you say?"

Li Jiqun said: "Director Mai said that the Zhou Chaoxian in his mind should be tall and handsome..." Shen Lang: Am I right?
Li Jiqun continued: "It also needs to give people a sinister and cunning feeling at first glance!"

Shen Lang: ...!
"He also has to be very manly, have severe kidney deficiency, and love to play!"

Shen Lang: Xiongxiong is not good at judging people, we need to look at them separately. He is manly, but has severe kidney deficiency. Haha, he likes to play...!
At this point, Mai Xiongxiong said aggrievedly: "Teacher Li, it's not that I don't want you to play Zhou Chaoxian, but I think your image is more suitable for Minister Hou!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone at the table laughed.

The character of Minister Hou started off strong but ended up being extremely unlucky. He was very powerful in the early stages but ended up being extremely despicable.

Considering that he had played a eunuch before, his image, temperament and acting skills are indeed more suitable for the role of Minister Hou.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and both the hosts and guests were having a great time. When they returned to the hotel after singing, Shen Lang found a Bentley parked at the hotel gate.

He didn't care at first, but then a middle-aged man in his forties got out of the car, opened the door and said, "Miss Chen, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jiajun got out of the car.

Seeing so many people in the crew all watching her get off the luxury car, Chen Jiajun was a little embarrassed and said, "Director Mai, Teacher Shen, Teacher Li..."

At this time, the middle-aged man turned around and saw the crew.

Shen Lang didn't know this person, but when Mai Xiongxiong and Li Jiqun saw him, they both took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Mr. Luo!"

"Mr. Luo, long time no see!"

After Mai Xiongxiong shook hands with the visitor, he introduced him to Shen Lang beside him: "Teacher Shen, this is Mr. Luo Yihui, the chairman of Hong Kong Island Pearl Group!"

Hearing this name, Shen Lang suddenly realized that Luo Yihui was a real estate tycoon in Hong Kong Island. He had a keen eye for investment and was a Hong Kong tycoon who had risen rapidly in recent years.

And I heard that this person has many girlfriends, and most of them are well-known actresses in the entertainment industry.

He looked at Chen Jiajun and seemed to understand something.

"Mr. Luo, this is Mr. Shen Lang from the mainland..."

Before Li Jiqun finished his introduction, Luo Yihui said enthusiastically: "I know Teacher Shen. I heard from many mainland friends that Teacher Shen is very popular recently!"

Shen Lang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Luo, I've heard a lot about you!"

After shaking hands, Luo Yihui took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Lang: "Teacher Shen, when you come to Hong Kong Island in the future, you must look for me. I will definitely give you a very satisfactory reception!"

"Hahaha……"

How satisfied are you?

Mai Xiongxiong and Li Jiqun smiled meaningfully.
Shen Lang, a gentleman, despised people like them: "Okay, I'll definitely bother you then!"

After the greetings, Luo Yihui said to Chen Jiajun in front of everyone: "Miss Chen, you are tired today, how about I help you up to rest?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him showed imperceptible facial movements. It’s good to be rich, you have so many little hobbies.

After all, Chen Jiajun had just entered the entertainment industry, and in front of so many people, she blushed when she heard this: "No, no need, Mr. Luo, it's getting late, I can go up by myself!"

Luo Yihui felt regretful when he heard this, but it would be embarrassing to keep pestering her in front of so many people, so he just smacked his lips and said, "Okay then! Miss Chen, I'll call you tomorrow!"

"No, that's not necessary. The crew will start filming tomorrow! I don't have time..."
