Chapter 349 - 349 Director Gu!
"..."
Xu Yunxiao was taken aback.
Is this the first time she's shown concern for him?
Of course.
On some previous occasions, she had spoken up for him too, like when he was bullied at grandma's house, where she occasionally couldn't help but retort, or when her mother mentioned him, she would also have a few words for her mother.
But that wasn't really concern in the true sense of the word.
And now.
Even though the tone of her voice wasn't very good, it was genuine worry about him drinking too much for his health.
When did she start to truly care about him?
Right now, Xu Yunxiao's heart was also very complicated.
Since that Qixi Festival Valentine's dinner, she had been trying to slowly accept Qin Feng, and her plan wasn't to progress this quickly...
"My wife's concern is the happiest thing in the world, worth toasting to!"
Qin Feng, eyes filled with happiness, tilted his head back and downed a full glass of Moutai.
"You're insane! I told you to drink less!"
Xu Yunxiao grumbled dejectedly.
"I'm happy, that's why!"
Qin Feng poured himself another glass.
The party was lively.
Everyone was gathered around Luo Hongyan and Qin Feng, continuously offering them drinks.
Of course.
Most of those toasting Qin Feng were girls.
Previously, they had all been attracted by Qin Feng's perfect upper body muscles.
While they were excited,
At this moment,
A few people arrived at the banquet hall.
The screenwriter and director warmly welcomed them as soon as they saw who it was: "Rare guests, rare guests! What kind of wind has blown Director Gu here? Please, have a seat, have a seat."
Director Gu, Gu Wenping.
He's a top-notch director in the country, having even made two films internationally known and very successful.
In the history of national box office records, four of the top ten belong to Director Gu.
He is also currently the biggest name among directors, from Dongxing Entertainment, one of the three major entertainment companies in the country.
Gu Wenping was in his fifties, with hair slicked back, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He looked quite artistic, but his every move carried an arrogant air of "I am invincible", especially now having had a little to drink, which made him look all the more smug.
"I say, Xiao Guan, coming to Dragon World without saying hi, don't you take me seriously?" Gu Wenping said with a laugh.
"How could I dare? I was afraid you'd be busy. Besides, I'm just a small fry, not fit to greet you," the screenwriter quickly replied with a flattering laugh.
He was one of the top screenwriters and directors in the country.
Even if he didn't make movies often, he was very famous, but he was nothing compared to Gu Wenping.
Gu Wenping obviously wasn't there to find him, and didn't bother much with him, instead turning his lecherous eyes towards Luo Hongyan and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Luo, I've long admired your reputation, haha."
Luo Hongyan shook his hand lightly, then tried to withdraw it.
But as she pulled away, he grasped it tightly, taking the opportunity to cop a feel before she managed to pull it back.
"Ha-ha, Miss Luo, you are truly beautiful, with such good looks and such a fine figure, it's a pity to only sing. Are you interested in making movies?" Gu Wenping said with a smile, "I'll tell you straight, I'm currently preparing a film with an investment of ten billion, and I'm just missing a Female Lead. I think Miss Luo is perfect for the role!"
"Ten billion?!"
Hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment, eyes shining with excitement.
The highest investment for a movie in the country had been around five or six billion. With ten billion, it wouldn't be just a big production but a mega production!
"The other actors sought are at least a dozen of the country's top stars!"
Gu Wenping bragged once more.
Hearing this, the screenwriter's eyes widened.
A ten billion investment, top stars, plus Director Gu's direction, that would definitely make for an epic, epoch-making classic!
"Miss Luo, this is a great opportunity!"
The director excitedly said.
The others also thought it was a good chance.
Whether TV drama stars, singing stars, or variety show stars, they often slowly transition into the film industry.
Because these days, whether it's earning money or personal honors, nothing beats the big screen.
Except for a few.
Luo Hongyan's popularity is surging, and if she takes part in such a big production, her popularity will surely soar!
"I'm sorry."
Amidst everyone's gaze, Luo Hongyan politely declined, "I currently have no plans to do movies, I just want to sing."
"What?"
People looked at each other, feeling it was a pity to waste such an opportunity.
Gu Wenping also found it incomprehensible.
In the past, those stars would beg him for a role in his films, but now that he has made the offer himself, he was being refused?
"Miss Luo, rest assured, the payment is not an issue, I will discuss it with the investors. I believe with my influence, I can negotiate a top star's fee for you," he said again.
But Luo Hongyan still shook her head in refusal.
Qin Feng noted this and was quite satisfied with her.
She is a star.
But one of the rare ones who still remember their original aspiration.
Many people often get lost in the entertainment circle, whether due to social niceties or the blinding allure of fame and wealth.
But she didn't.
Her heart was always focused on music.
Gu Wenping, face unable to hide his frustration after being rejected repeatedly, said to her again, "How about this, Miss Luo, we can go to the next room and talk it over slowly. Of course, if you don't want to act, I won't force you, but inviting you next door for a meal, that's doable, right?"
While saying this, Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by *.
His eyes, like those of a wolf, roamed over Luo Hongyan.
Actually, offering her a movie role was secondary; what he really wanted was her sensuous body.
With his status, he had already 'cast couch' numerous women.
Some were newcomers eager to get roles, some were famous female stars.
Over time, he began to become "picky".
If they didn't have significant fame, he couldn't be bothered; the more aloof they were, the more he enjoyed it.
Luo Hongyan had been on his radar since she came to Yanjing.
Once in that private room, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted?
Someone like a star, afraid of scandal being leaked, would definitely not go to the police.
"How about it? Just a meal, that shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Gu Wenping smiled as he spoke again.
"I'm sorry."
Luo Hongyan refused again, "This is our celebration banquet, so I won't be going over."
"Oh?"
Gu Wenping, once again refused in front of so many, his expression turned icy.
Plus, he had been drinking, and was feeling even more annoyed, he said in a deep voice: "Luo Hongyan, I'm warning you, don't take kindness for weakness! Do you know, with just one phone call, I can make it impossible for you to survive in this industry!"
Complete silence!
No one dared say another word.
It was inevitable.
His standing in the circle was very high, far beyond what they could match.
"Cough cough."
At this point, Qin Feng coughed twice, breaking the silence, and said, "That sentence, why does it sound so familiar?"
Everyone's eyes turned towards him, including Gu Wenping.
Qin Feng continued, "Some time ago, someone said the same thing to Miss Luo, but guess what? I think, luckily I'm patient, or else that person might still be lying in a hospital bed right now."
While speaking, he turned his gaze towards the director.
