The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 117 The Night Banquet

"Is it really not rude for me to dress like this?"

Tang Xin was wearing a white V-neck shirt dress, looking at the rearview mirror to check her makeup.

Chen Jingxing showed a helpless smile: "You have asked this question a hundred times. In my opinion, not only is it not impolite, but it is also grand enough. You are not going to an award ceremony."

"Of course I know it's not an awards ceremony, but I've always had a haunting image in my mind."

"What picture?" Chen Jingxing turned the steering wheel and drove into the side road.

Tang Xin couldn't help laughing: "Haha, what I've been thinking about is the dinner party in "The Great Gatsby"."

"My dear, I'm afraid you will be very disappointed."

"Will they bring their families, too?"

"It should be." Chen Jingxing looked at the road conditions and said, "When you invite, you can just say family members or good friends."

"Then I'm really curious about Luo Chen and Hu Ge's girlfriend."

Chen Jingxing shook his head: "I don't know about Hu Ge, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Luo Chen's girlfriend, if he has a girlfriend."

Tang Xin felt slightly disappointed, and immediately turned to look at Chen Jingxing: "Why do I feel that you are a bit like a big boss in the entertainment industry now? You can invite so many celebrities to the party."

Chen Jingxing made a surprised expression: "Did you just find out now? All I talk about with people now are billion-level projects. Don't laugh, it's really billion-level projects."

"Gravity" is rounded to one billion.

"Okay, but when we go in later, we won't be embarrassed to find that someone releases your pigeons."

"Does anyone dare to let the big guy in the entertainment industry dove? Block him!"

While the two were talking, the car had already stopped in front of a building.

Tang Xin looked up at the two brightly lit floors in the middle of the building. Even the curtains couldn't hide the bright lights: "I don't seem to see any signs?"

Chen Jingxing explained: "It's a private club recommended by Xu Wenshen. In fact, it's also a restaurant. It's more suitable for gatherings with friends or classmates, but there is no signboard outside."

This gathering was actually initiated by Chen Jingxing, or at the suggestion of Xu Wenshen.

Because after "Signal" was finished, Chen Jingxing did not stay to have dinner with the lead actors and crew members—in fact, most of the crew members of "Signal" would also join the crew of "Source Code", but returned to the capital non-stop to start "Signal" Source Code".

Xu Wenshen suggested that it is better to invite the leading actors of the two crews to have a dinner together, which is equivalent to a combination of "Signal" wrap-up dinner and "Source Code" starring meeting dinner.

Chen Jingxing also considered that he would discuss the Mekong River project with Guo Fan, so he also planned to invite Guo Fan along the way.

But Xu Wenshen thought that since he wanted to invite Guo Fan, he might as well invite other directors who went to the US exchange class.

In this way, what was supposed to be a simple meet-and-greet dinner with the leading actors turned into a star party held by the "big guys in the entertainment industry".

Now that he had reached this point, Chen Jingxing broke the jar and suggested that those who participated in the dinner could also bring their family members or friends along.

In fact, Chen Jingxing himself was taken aback, he didn't expect that he had only been making movies for a year, and he had already joined or even formed such a big network in the movie industry.

The actors who collaborated in "Signal" and "Source Code" include Luo Chen, Lei Jiayin, Hu Ge, Wan Qian, Liu Lin, Wu Yue, etc., as well as their family members and friends.

In addition, Chen Sicheng took his wife Tong Liya and his love general Liu Haoran.

Lu Yang brought several leading actors in his upcoming movie.

Guo Fan also brought his wife.

Only Ning Hao and Xiao Yang are alone, without family and friends.

It can be said that if this lineup gets out, it will be enough for the entertainment media to write two days of manuscripts.

Chen Jingxing first brought the leading actors of "Signal" and "Source Code" to meet with several other directors one by one, introduced each other, and then exchanged contact information.

This is a very rare opportunity for several actors, such as Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian, who can only be regarded as second- and third-tier actors. For them, the value of this party is immeasurable.

In the entertainment industry, resources mean power.

And most of the directors at this party are able to decide the ownership of resources or part of the resources.

Their position in the pyramid is second only to studios and distributors.

Even directors with personal brand value like Chen Jingxing and Ning Hao are producers of resources themselves.

And Luo Chen and Hu Ge are also very grateful to Chen Jingxing. Although Luo Chen is one of the top streamers, traffic is only a bargaining chip for resources. For him, only by getting closer to the resource distribution center of the entertainment industry can he really give him the courage to give up the bargaining chip of traffic.

Although Hu Ge is also a national idol and a first-line actor, he really has no status in the film circle, and this party knocked on the door of a circle for him.

Moreover, the quality of this circle is quite high. Needless to say, Ning Hao, Chen Sicheng and Guo Fan both have films with hundreds of millions of box office results, which can be said to be the vanguard among young directors. Lu Yang and Xiao Yang also have films that will be released soon.

He couldn't help but rejoice at the decision he had made. Before the filming started, the director gave him such a big gift, which was considered a considerable support.

This is actually Chen Jingxing's original intention. He is more optimistic about the actors who have already cooperated with him and will cooperate with him.

But the movies I want to make in the future may not have suitable roles for them, so it's better to expand this circle for them and see if they can win resources from other directors.

The restaurant mainly provides Japanese and Western food. To be honest, Chen Jingxing personally has no appetite. Of course, this is not a place for everyone to fill their stomachs. It is a social place in itself.

After Chen Jingxing saw Tang Xin chatting enthusiastically with Guo Fan and Lei Jiayin's wife around a small table, he looked away at Guo Fan with peace of mind.

"Old Guo, you have to prepare well. Chairman Qin has no objections now, but you have to reassure Director Liu Changhong."

Guo Fan was a little distressed and nervous: "I'm not afraid of other people, but Director Liu represents the Ministry of Public Security after all... and after all, it's an investment of 2 million yuan. Are you so relieved of me?"

It's not like you haven't shot bigger productions before. Chen Jingxing acted confidently: "Don't worry, you can follow my advice. The more exciting the better, the more Hollywood the better. Director Liu absolutely likes it."

Ning Hao said: "I've heard about the Mekong River project. It was originally said that the Ministry of Public Security wanted to bid for it, but later it was directly produced by China Film. I really didn't expect that the story of the Mekong River movie project was provided by you."
