Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 127 Victory Celebration Banquet

"The success of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' today is inseparable from the hard work and dedication of everyone present."

After the actors took turns toasting at the main table, Director Hu came to their table and sat down between Xu Jinyan and Hu Ke, adding a chair between them.

"We filmed for more than four months, enduring rain in the desert, doing action scenes with wire work, and even experiencing a major accident. But we made it through it all."

"I won't say more. This toast is for everyone. May we all have great things to come and a long and successful journey!"

Everyone drank it all up, and the wine was enjoyed to the fullest!

Director Hu poured himself another glass, then turned to Xu Jinyan and said, "Brother, I won't say more, it's all in the drink! I'll drink mine, you can drink as you like!"

Xu Jinyan smiled, clinked glasses with him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Han watched from the side, clicking her tongue in amazement. She went to toast Director Hu, but Director Hu came over specifically to toast Jin Yan.

Seeing Jin Yan being led away by Director Hu, a thought flashed through my mind: This is what a true man should be like!

Perhaps it was because of their different majors, or perhaps because their statuses were so different, but he felt no jealousy at all. Instead, he hoped that Jin Yan would do better and better!

From then on, I finally had a powerful backer in the entertainment industry.

Director Hu pulled Xu Jinyan aside and asked, "Brother, I won't beat around the bush. Everyone knows about your relationship with Teacher Lin Yuan. What did he think of the production?"

Upon hearing his words, Xu Jinyan understood that he had his eye on "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

He laughed and said, "Director Hu, why don't you go ask Lin Yuan?"

Director Hu didn't mention that he didn't even have his contact information, but simply said, "I'll ask him myself. Teacher Lin Yuan will definitely be very polite."

"...Yeah, that's true."

Director Hu: "I just wanted to get some information from you, my brother."

"I won't lie to you, there are a lot of people eyeing 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' right now."

"If Lin Yuan, the director of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' is not satisfied with my filming, to be honest, I would be too embarrassed to even ask him."

Xu Jinyan nodded: "Then I'll let Director Hu know for sure, Lin Yuan is... satisfied with the drama you directed!"

Seeing Xu Jinyan's thumbs-up, Director Hu was immediately excited, and his face, which was already flushed from drinking, turned even redder.

"but……"

Xu Jinyan deliberately looked around, then leaned close to Director Hu and whispered, "Some people have also tried to talk to Lin Yuan about the copyright of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' through me."

"I won't say who they are specifically, but I'll mention one you can definitely guess—Canglan."

"To be honest, I wanted to agree to the conditions offered by Canglan on Lin Yuan's behalf."

Director Hu's expression turned sour again.

He wasn't unaware of the conditions offered by the four major companies, conditions that his studio absolutely couldn't afford.

Xu Jinyan watched Director Hu's changing expression and felt satisfied.

Although the decision has been made to continue working with Director Hu, it is necessary to let Director Hu know that Lin Yuan values ​​loyalty and keeps his promises, as well as the interests sacrificed as a result.

As for copyright, I'll pay for it!

Xu Jinyan: "Please rest assured, Director Hu, I am just a messenger. I will not comment on who Lin Yuan collaborates with."

"My relationship with Lin Yuan... is completely untainted by any self-interest."

"Even if I had to choose, I would still prefer Director Hu; you made a really good film."

Upon hearing Xu Jinyan's words, Director Hu forced a smile and patted his arm to express his gratitude.

He's an adult, and it's hard for him not to be tempted by huge profits.

Even if Lin Yuan ultimately doesn't choose to cooperate with him, he wouldn't be too surprised.

He composed himself and said with a smile, "Jinyan, let me introduce myself to you..."

Xu Jinyan looked at the big-nosed man walking over and laughed, "Director Hu, there's no need for you to introduce him."

He stepped forward, shook hands with the man, and said with a smile, "Is there anyone in China who doesn't know Brother Jackie Chan?"

"I loved watching my older brother's movies when I was a kid."

Jackie Chan laughed heartily: "Be careful, movies are all made up. I heard from Director Hu that you have real kung fu skills."

Xu Jinyan glanced at Director Hu and said helplessly, "Director Hu, I kicked you because I didn't have time back then, it really wasn't intentional!"

"How can you repay kindness with enmity, saying I know kung fu?"

Director Hu smiled without saying a word, and even claimed that he didn't know martial arts?

The three started chatting, their hearty laughter occasionally punctuating their conversation, drawing the attention of many onlookers.

In such social settings, people mainly aim to build connections. If they can also get close enough to say a few words to a big shot, the trip will be even more worthwhile.

Right now, the three core members of the group are chatting together, and many people are getting restless.

Seeing this scene, Mao Xiaotong suddenly felt a little dazed.

Jin Yan's words reminded her of their first encounter, which took place in a similar social setting.

The only difference is that Li Lianjie was replaced by Cheng Long, director Yu Shan was replaced by director Hu, and Zhao Liying... was replaced by Xu Jinyan, who was with her and Lin Gengxin back then.

This has been less than a year...

Li Yitong leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You're so charming, aren't you?"

Mao Xiaotong couldn't help but nod.

She was stunned for a moment, her cheeks immediately turned red, she glanced at Reba, and seeing that she wasn't paying attention to her, she pinched Li Yitong hard.

"Are you trying to die?!"

Li Yitong chuckled: "Tell me all your little secrets."

Mao Xiaotong looked at her suspiciously. "What little secret?"

Li Yitong didn't know what it was either, she just pointed to the red wine on the table.

Why did she toast him just now? And when did she spill wine on him?

She felt that everyone she knew had some kind of secret.

She's the only one who doesn't!

Oh, there's one too. Jin Yan knows about her pica, but that's something she mentioned in an interview.

She wants one too!

Mao Xiaotong understood when she saw her pointing to the red wine.

I can't recommend roles to just anyone, but I can talk to Li Yitong, who played Huang Rong...

The two whispered to each other for a while, not noticing that Dilraba had already left, nor that Xu Jinyan had also gone out a short while later.

Li Yitong exclaimed in shock, "Really?!"

Mao Xiaotong nodded: "Anyway, you've already played Huang Rong, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Li Yitong looked at her with a complicated expression: "Jinyan really is..."

……

……

Mao Xiaotong came out of the restroom and walked back in a daze, still thinking about what had just been said.

But after walking for a while, we realized we had gone too far and arrived at the end of the buffer corridor.

Just as she was about to turn back, she inadvertently heard a sound coming from the dimly lit corner.

It seems like... be careful with your words.

She subconsciously softened her breathing and slowly approached, only to hear the panting of a man and a woman.

She widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and was about to leave when she heard:

"That's about enough, don't let anyone find out."

That's Dilraba's voice.

"It's okay, I can hear anyone getting close. Are you really not staying tonight?"

Dilraba: "I really have a flight tonight, and I have a gig to do tomorrow."

Xu Jinyan sighed deeply: "It's happening again. What am I supposed to do?"

Dilraba chuckled and said, "You can take care of it yourself at the hotel!"
