386: Chapter 380: eting Xing 386: Chapter 380: eting Xing “Chen…
Young Master Chen…”
Seeing Chen Hai about to walk away again, Li Qingxia grew anxious.
She had always kept Zhou Xingxing’s request in mind.
Given the current filming pace, the liquor advertisent could likely be finished by the afternoon.
Back on Tai Island, she was in a hurry to return to the film she was working on—there was a good chance she would need to rush back first thing tomorrow morning.
It wasn’t easy to wait until Chen Hai, the big boss, ca over, and he seed quite approachable!
Seizing this rare opportunity, she naturally wanted to fulfill her promise to Zhou Xingxing and ntion his matter to Chen Hai before her.
“Do you have another matter, Miss Qingxia?” Stopping in his tracks, Chen Hai turned around, smiling as he asked.
“It’s like this, Young Master Chen, I have a good friend who has a matter he’d like to discuss with you!”
“I don’t know if you could take so ti out of your schedule to et him?”
Li Qingxia was a bit nervous, her heart fluctuating as she tentatively spoke to Chen Hai.
“Your friend?
Is he also from your circle?
Male or female?” After a slight pause, Chen Hai casually responded.
“A man, his na is Zhou Xingxing, quite a well-known figure in the circle!” Li Qingxia quickly replied.
Hearing her say this, Chen Hai slightly furrowed his brow.
A male artist, relying on Li Qingxia’s favor to et him—if nothing unexpected, he surely had a favor to ask!
He wasn’t running a charity, so naturally, he was sowhat displeased with these kinds of requests.
Looking at Li Qingxia in front of him, who was nervous and full of hopeful anticipation, Chen Hai remained silent for a long while.
“Out of respect for you, Miss Qingxia, alright, I’ll give him a chance!”
“Tell your friend, if he really wants to see , let him co to the Regent Hotel tonight at eight.”
“Also, remind him that I won’t wait if he’s late…”
After considering it for quite a while, Chen Hai finally nodded, agreeing to her request.
For the next few days, he indeed had so free ti while in Xiangjiang.
eting Li Qingxia’s friend was, in fact, quite a minor matter.
His hesitation stemd only from his dislike for such favors.
“Thank you, Young Master Chen, thank you, Young Master Chen…” Li Qingxia quickly said gratefully.
“If you really want to thank , just perform well and help wrap up this shoot quickly!” Chen Hai lightly nodded and casually replied.
He turned and walked away, heading in the direction of Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang.
“Mm!” Li Qingxia nodded firmly.
“Director Wang, I’m in a good state right now.
Don’t waste ti, I’m going into water, let’s start shooting imdiately…”
After opening the thermos and gulping down several mouthfuls of chicken soup, Li Qingxia wiped her mouth and shouted directly at Fatty Wang.
Generally, the film set is where the director reigns supre.
However, in the entertainnt circle of Xiangjiang, Li Qingxia still had significant clout.
She didn’t need to be overly polite with Director Fatty Wang!
After all, her urging Fatty Wang to start filming wasn’t unreasonable; she simply wanted to get the work done quickly.
“If you’re really in a good state, Sister Qingxia, then alright, we’ll start shooting now!”
Director Wang naturally had no objections.
After all, Chen Hai, an overwhelming big boss, was still present, and he likewise wanted to demonstrate his proactive side in front of Chen Hai.
Before coming here, Chen Hai was curious and sowhat expectant about what an advertisent shoot scene looked like.
But after watching it for a while, he felt that the filming of the advertisent was just so-so!
Often, a small shot required half a day of preparation and many repeated takes to be considered truly complete.
After staying for a while and feeling a bit bored, Chen Hai greeted Fatty Wang.
Then, he and his subordinates turned and walked back the way they had co.
…
In the room at the Regent Hotel,
Lazily sitting on the sofa, Chen Hai raised his wrist to check the ti.
It was now exactly eight o’clock in the evening, yet he still hadn’t seen any sign of Li Qingxia’s friend.
“I’ve already reminded Li Qingxia, ‘I won’t wait if he’s late!'”
“The ti is up, but no one has shown up.
What does this an?
Are they fooling around with ?”
“Xiaohang and Mingjian have gone to Langui Fang to have fun.
Maybe I should just go there too…”
Feeling annoyed, Chen Hai muttered to himself.
Normally, he had little interest in places like Langui Fang!
However, since the person he was supposed to et hadn’t shown up, if he continued to just sit and wait in the hotel room, what would that make him?
“Dingling, Dingling, Dingling…” Just as Chen Hai stood up, the room’s phone suddenly rang.
After hesitating a mont, just as he was about to head out, he eventually went over to the phone and picked up the receiver.
“Young Master Chen, I apologize.
The Zhou Xingxing I ntioned to you had called at seven o’clock to say that he had arrived at the location!”
“He searched for a long ti there but just couldn’t find the nineteenth floor.”
“After asking him in detail, I finally realized that Zhou Xingxing had gone to the wrong place.
He rushed to the Regent Hotel instead of the Regent Inn.”
“He is currently on his way to your location, but it still will take him a bit more ti to get there…”
Through the receiver, Li Qingxia’s voice, full of apologies, had already reached Chen Hai’s ears.
“How could he get the place wrong?
That Zhou Xingxing is really sothing…”
With a stern face, Chen Hai was quite dissatisfied and complained.
He had already inford Li Qingxia about his location, and she must have relayed it correctly to Zhou Xingxing.
A Regent Hotel and a Regent Inn, with completely different nas.
Zhou Xingxing, being a native artist from Xiangjiang, still getting them confused, left Chen Hai truly speechless.
However, if that was indeed the case, as long as Zhou Xingxing wasn’t deliberately shrugging him off.
And since Li Qingxia had already called multiple tis to apologize,
after so thought, Chen Hai decided not to pursue the matter further, changing the subject, “Miss Qingxia, how’s the advertisent shoot going?”
“It’s almost completely shot.
I’ll be heading back to Tai Island first thing tomorrow morning!”
“Regarding Director Wang’s end, we still need to do the dubbing and so late production, which will probably take another couple of days to finish.”
Hearing Chen Hai say this, Li Qingxia slightly relaxed, hurriedly speaking to explain.
“Going back so soon tomorrow morning?
You’re really rushing it?”
“Yes, I have a movie that’s being shot over there.
Once I get back, I won’t even have ti to rest—I’ll have to rush to the set imdiately!”
“You’ve worked hard, Miss Qingxia.
Rember to let know if you’re visiting the mainland anyti, so I can have the chance to properly host you!”
…
After exchanging pleasantries with Li Qingxia, Chen Hai hung up the phone.
It had only been about ten minutes when finally, the doorbell in the room rang.
It looked like the Zhou Xingxing who had gotten the location wrong had finally made it here.
He let him wait for a minute or two, until the cigarette in his hand was finished, before Chen Hai walked to the door and opened it.
“I’m sorry, Young Master Chen.
I missed the ti and ca a bit late…”
At the door, Zhou Xingxing, carrying a large backpack, was drenched in sweat, his complexion sowhat flushed.
Seeing Chen Hai, he bowed deeply several tis in apology, explaining himself.
The nineteenth-floor guest room here at the Regent Hotel certainly has an elevator going directly there.
Seeing Zhou Xingxing like this, Chen Hai sowhat doubted whether he had climbed several flights of stairs in a hurry.
“Zhou Xingxing, right?
I’ve heard about you from Miss Qingxia.
Co in!” His expression slightly softened, Chen Hai invited him in and then closed the door behind him.
In front of Chen Hai, Zhou Xingxing appeared quite restrained.
Sitting on the sofa, he seed rather restless.
“Tell !
What do you want to see for?” Without indulging in small talk, Chen Hai got straight to the point.
Zhou Xingxing didn’t respond imdiately but picked up the large backpack beside him and opened it.
The backpack mainly contained box after box of videotapes.
“Young Master Chen, these videotapes are so movies I shot previously.”
“If you have so free ti, you can watch them to pass the ti and maybe give so feedback!”
Taking the videotapes out of the backpack one by one and neatly arranging them in front of Chen Hai, Zhou Xingxing grinned awkwardly and explained.
“Did you co to see just to have watch your movies?” Chen Hai huffed, clearly displeased.
“You, being such a significant figure, surely have valuable ti!”
“I showed you my movies just hoping that you could see my worth.”
“Actually, my real intention is to ask you to invest in , specifically to buy shares in my Starlight Company!”
Soone like Zhou Xingxing, who isn’t eloquent in real life, surely couldn’t say things very smoothly.
Seeing Chen Hai’s expression looking not too pleased, he quickly spoke up, honestly laying out his true intentions.
While speaking, he also took so docunts out of the backpack and handed them to Chen Hai.
The docunts outlined the current rough situation of Starlight Company.
Chen Hai hesitated for a mont after taking the docunts, then began to look through them.
“Your Starlight Company was established and then fild a movie?”
“Although the movie has been fild, there are so controversies with the cinemas and it hasn’t been officially released?”
“Up to now, your company has been running on fus with no revenue?”
“From these docunts, the company’s liquid assets are just around a hundred thousand, roughly, and it might declare bankruptcy at any ti!”
“With such a failing company, you want to invest?
How do you propose that?”
After scanning the content on the docunts, Chen Hai roughly looked them over.
He looked dissatisfied and threw the docunts in front of Zhou Xingxing with a snort.
