The world of film and television begins from childhood

Qiao Yingzi replied: "I don't know, it's not confirmed yet. Anyway, I don't care. I just want to meet my old classmates. I have an appointment with Tao Zi. I will pick her up and we will go together."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "I'll let Hong Fei take you there when the time comes."

Because he had read so many novels that he was infected by them, he asked for help and found a retired special forces veteran.

This veteran is Hong Fei. He joined the army at the age of 18 and served for more than ten years. He is a veritable soldier king.

Zhou Chen also spent a lot of money to hire Hong Fei to work as his bodyguard and driver. The annual salary is higher than that of ordinary company executives.

"No need, Sister Yun can just take me there, no need to trouble Brother Hong."

Qiao Yingzi shook her head and refused. Zhou Chen also arranged a female driver for her, so she didn't want to trouble Hong Fei.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhou Chen did not insist. After all, they were in Yanjing and nothing would happen.

Chapter 272: Pity Must Be Hateful, Secret Lover

"okay, I get it."

Zhou Chen hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

The person who just called him was from the prison, saying that his adoptive father Zhou Guodong was terminally ill and would not live long, and wanted to see him before he died.

Zhou Chen’s first reaction was to refuse, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally decided to go meet Zhou Guodong just to put an end to it.

Zhou Chen came to the prison infirmary and saw Zhou Guodong.

At this time, Zhou Guodong looked haggard, emaciated, and extremely scary. He had changed drastically since the last time Zhou Chen saw him.

Zhou Guodong has been in prison for nearly three years. In such a short period of time, he has become like this. It seems that he will not live for many more days.

"You came."

When Zhou Guodong saw Zhou Chen, a light flashed in his cloudy eyes and he seemed to become a little more energetic.

"Ah."

Zhou Chen responded with an indifferent expression.

Although Zhou Guodong looks pitiful now, he is really not pitiful at all.

poor person must have something mean!

There are so many hateful things about Zhou Guodong that simply calling him a scumbag is not enough to describe him. He is not qualified to be a husband or a father, and he has not even been a good human being.

No matter how pitiful such a person is, Zhou Chen will not show any mercy to him.

"There should be nothing between us anymore. What do you want from me?"

Zhou Guodong said weakly: "Whether you admit it or not, I am your father. This cannot be changed."

"It's just that I never thought that the person who would destroy me in the end would be you. But now I don't feel angry at all, on the contrary I am very relieved. The more outstanding you are, the more successful I am, because you are the one I brought into this world, hehe."

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged. This was all nonsense and he would not take it to heart at all.

"As father and son, I have only one request, and I hope you can agree to it."

Zhou Chen still didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly. He didn't believe that a dying man would speak kind words.

A person like Zhou Guodong was so evil when he was alive. Do you really expect him to wake up when he is dying? That is just deceiving yourself.

"I hope that after I die, you can bury me with your mother. She is the person I owe the most in my life, so I want to make it up to her and accompany her after I die."

"You are really dreaming. It's impossible."

Zhou Chen refused mercilessly, "You are the person my mother least wants to see in her life. If you want to make it up to her, stay away from her and never get close to her."

Zhou Guodong said hurriedly: "I, your mother and I have been married for more than ten years. You, you can't do this."

Zhou Chen ignored him, just looked at his watch and said calmly: "Sorry, I have a meeting later, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he walked out regardless of Zhou Guodong's calls, and stopped when he reached the door.

"You are right about one thing. No matter what, we are still father and son. Don't worry, after you leave, I will take care of your funeral and keep you away from my mother. You will never have the chance to see her again."

After leaving the prison, Zhou Chen sat in the car, thinking of what had just happened, with a sneer on his face.

"Let's go back to Chenying Entertainment."

"Okay, boss."

The reason why I went to Chenying Entertainment again today was because a superstar was going to join Chenying today. Chenying had spent a huge amount of money to invite him. He was a triple-talented star in film, television and music, a true superstar.

With such a heavyweight superstar joining the team, the boss Zhou Chen of course had to show up in person to sign the contract as a sign of respect.

The signing ceremony was very grand and all media were invited to attend. The ceremony ended with the moment when Zhou Chen and King Liu shook hands and hugged each other.

Nannan’s first birthday party was held in a five-star hotel. Zhou Chen did not invite too many people. He only invited some close friends or friends with whom he had a cooperative relationship. The rest were relatives from Qiao Yingzi’s family.

But even so, there were more than thirty tables set up, and the scene was very grand.

Friends who can come here are basically celebrities. The red envelopes and gifts given by these people are very valuable. The gifts alone are probably enough to buy several houses in Yanjing.

The grand birthday party lasted for several hours. Zhou Chen, as the protagonist, was even numb from toasting.

For him, hosting banquets is more tiring than going to work, but he has to do it because it is an opportunity to build up his network. If he wants to make his career bigger and stronger, there are some things that he has to grit his teeth and do even if he doesn't like them.

After the first birthday party, Qiao Yingzi started working again, still at the astronomical research institute funded by Zhou Chen.

Because of Zhou Chen, the wealthy boss behind the scenes, the research institute has developed very well. Even though it is burning money every day, Zhou Chen is still happy to continue supporting it.

It's not just because Qiao Yingzi likes it, he himself is also very interested in it and would go over to take a look many times.

Zhou Chen knew that he would be able to live countless years in the future, so he needed to use some interests to kill time, whether it was starting a business, studying astronomy or setting up a research institute.

Qiao Yingzi's love for astronomy is far greater than Zhou Chen's. Once she enters work mode, she becomes even more crazy and often neglects sleep and food because of work.

Even though Zhou Chen tried to persuade her many times, the effect was not very good, so he had to let Nannan go over to interrupt Qiao Yingzi's work.

"Hello, Wang Yidi, what's up?"

"Boss Zhou, I heard that the company is preparing to prepare a big-budget movie recently, but the female lead has not been decided yet?"

When Zhou Chen heard what Wang Yidi said, he immediately understood what she meant, so he asked, "Are you interested?"

"Of course I'm interested. With a production worth over 300 million, there's probably no actress in the industry who wouldn't be interested. Boss Zhou, we've known each other for more than ten years, and I took the initiative to come to you. Shouldn't you take better care of me?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Yidi seemed a little nervous. It has been a few months since she joined Chenying Entertainment, and she has already found out clearly that the next movie will be the one with the largest investment since the establishment of Chenying Entertainment.

The investment of more than 300 million is real investment, not false reporting, and this is just a preliminary plan. It is very likely that more than that will be spent on filming.

Such a huge production is definitely one of the top ones in the country. I wonder how many people are trying their best to get in.

Wang Yidi knew that she had no background in Chenying Entertainment for the time being, and the person she was most familiar with was Zhou Chen, so she approached Zhou Chen, hoping to join the crew through Zhou Chen's relationship.

She felt that as long as the big boss Zhou Chen agreed, it would be a sure thing. For this reason, she had already thought of countless countermeasures.

Zhou Chen was quite surprised by Wang Yidi’s words. He was so straightforward.

Of course he knew about this movie, because he wrote the script. It was a very popular movie he had seen in the world of All Is Well. The project of this movie was approved a year ago, but it had not started shooting yet.

This movie is very expensive because it requires a lot of special effects, and for Chenying Entertainment, it is absolutely impossible to make any mistakes.

"Wang Yidi, we are old classmates, so I will tell you the truth. The male and female protagonists of this play have already been decided, so you are not eligible for the female lead. However, since we are old classmates, I will discuss with the director to see if there is a role suitable for you."

Wang Yidi was not surprised when the heroine was rejected. She is also an entertainer who has been in the industry for several years. She knows very well that the heroine of such a big production, unless it is a vase role, will definitely not look for those who do not have enough qualifications Female artists, because it is difficult for them to hold the scene.

She just said that to Zhou Chen on purpose, wanting to make Zhou Chen pay attention to her. Now Zhou Chen said that she could consider her other roles, which made her overjoyed.

For her, appearing in such a big-budget movie, even if it is just a supporting role, is definitely a great qualification.

"Of course there is. Of course there is. Boss Zhou, are you free today? I'll treat you to a meal. Please don't refuse me again. I've invited you so many times. We're old classmates. You can't refuse this little bit of face, right?"

"Well, then, tonight."

When Wang Yidi heard Zhou Chen's agreement, she immediately shouted happily: "That's settled. I'll reserve a seat now and Weixin will notify you later."

"it is good."

Wang Yidi hung up the phone and shouted excitedly: "Sister Hua, help me put on makeup quickly, I must take him down today."

Song Cuihua asked cautiously, "Didi, are you really going to attack Mr. Zhou? I've heard that Mr. Zhou is not a good person. It is said that he can even kill his own father. If you anger him, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wang Yidi said with a smile: "That's because you don't understand him. Zhou Chen is a little cruel, but he would never treat his friends like that."

Song Cuihua hesitated and said, "But if your father knew about this, then..."

Wang Yidi's father is the president of a listed company. In just a few years, Wang Yidi was able to gain a foothold in the entertainment company. In addition to her own efforts, her father also helped her a lot.

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how could he possibly know?"

Wang Yidi is a little afraid of her mother, but she is not afraid of her father at all.

"Okay, stop nagging me. If I can win Zhou Chen this time, I won't have to worry about not getting acting offers in the future, so think of something good."

Song Cuihua was helpless. Although she was Wang Yidi's agent, in fact, most of Wang Yidi's affairs were handled by her mother. She did not have much say in front of Wang Yidi.

Zhou Chen came to the place Wang Yidi mentioned. It was a private room in a five-star hotel. When he arrived, Wang Yidi had already arrived.

"only you?"

When Zhou Chen saw that Wang Yidi was the only one in the huge private room, his eyes flashed.

Wang Yidi smiled and said, "Why, who else do you want to see?"

"No, it's just a meal, there's no need to make it so grand. Oh, that's right, you're a big star now after all, it's easy to be exposed if you're outside."

Wang Yidi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a big star. I've only played a few small roles. I've always dreamed of playing the leading role in a big movie. I don't know if Boss Zhou is willing to give me a chance."

Zhou Chen came prepared, and when he heard Wang Yidi's straight-forward question, he replied truthfully: "The roles of the heroine and the second female lead have been decided, and the third female lead, if you want, you can give it a try." try."

"Female number three?"

Wang Yidi raised her eyebrows. She had no hope of playing the female lead. What she really wanted was the second female lead, so when she heard about the third female lead, she was a little dissatisfied.

Zhou Chen said: "Although you are the third female lead, in fact, apart from the female lead, the second and third female leads have almost the same amount of roles. The difference is that the image of the second female lead does not suit you, while the image of the third female lead is more suitable for you."

Wang Yidi looked at Zhou Chen with suspicion: "You didn't lie to me?"

"Do you think I have to lie to you? You are an artist in our company. If we don't use you, should we hire someone else?"

"Right."

"Well, female number three is female number three."

"Haha, others who want this role don't have a chance, but you got it."

Wang Yidi suddenly stood up, walked to the seat next to Zhou Chen and sat down, resting his elbows on the table, his chin on his palm, and looking at Zhou Chen closely.

"Zhou Chen, you are more mature and handsome now than before. Qiao Yingzi is so lucky that you have always stayed with her."

Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi were both prominent figures in Chunfeng Middle School. Their marriage was a legend in their class.

Especially after Zhou Chen achieved this honor, it was even more amazing. Now Zhou Chen has become one of the most famous students since the founding of Chunfeng Middle School.

How could Zhou Chen be frightened by Wang Yidi's teasing? He looked into Wang Yidi's eyes calmly.

"What you saw was me accompanying her, and what I saw was her accompanying me. Love is mutual. You haven't met that person, so you don't understand."

It has been ten years since Zhou Chen came into this world, and he has been married to Qiao Yingzi for five years. Although Qiao Yingzi has some problems and a difficult mother, he has never regretted being with Qiao Yingzi.

Zhou Chen is very grateful to Qiao Yingzi because Qiao Yingzi will spend her whole life with him, but he cannot spend his whole life with Qiao Yingzi.

Wang Yidi: "I don't understand, can you teach me?"

This was an obvious provocation, but Zhou Chen remained indifferent.

"I've been busy all day. I'm a little hungry. Let's eat first."

"Hmph." Wang Yidi snorted in dissatisfaction.

There were two of them dining together, but Wang Yidi ordered more than a dozen dishes, so much so that most of them were still left after they finished eating.

They didn't eat much of the food, but they drank a lot of red wine, especially Wang Yidi, whose face turned red and his eyes were blurry.

"Wang Yidi, where do you live? I'll have someone take you back."

Zhou Chen supported Wang Yidi, who was pulling him like an octopus, and asked.

Wang Yidi's eyes were blurry, and he held Zhou Chen's neck with both hands: "I have already booked a room here, and I'm not going back today. Please take me back to my room."

Zhou Chen: "How about I ask the waiter to take you upstairs?"
