China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 117 Night Banquet (Part 1)

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

Tang Xin was wearing a white V-neck shirt dress and looked in the rearview mirror of the car to check her makeup.

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

"Of course I know it's not an award ceremony, but there's always a lingering image in my mind."

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

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

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

"Will they bring their families as well?"

"Maybe." Chen Jingxing said while looking at the traffic: "When inviting, just say family members or good friends."

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

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.

"Then I'm really curious about Luochen and Hu Ge's girlfriends."

After Chen Jingxing saw Tang Xin, Guo Fan and Lei Jiayin's wife chatting animatedly around a small table, he calmly looked back at Guo Fan.

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

Lu Yang brought several of the leading actors from his upcoming movie.

It can be said that if word of this lineup spread, it would be enough for the entertainment media to write articles for two days.

In fact, Chen Jingxing himself was shocked. He didn't expect that he had already joined and even formed such a big network in the film industry after only one year of filming.

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

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

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 in box office, and can be said to be the vanguard among young directors. Lu Yang and Xiao Yang also have films that will be released soon.

But the movies they want to make in the future may not have roles that are suitable for them, so why not expand the circle for them and see if they can get resources from other directors.

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

Chen Jingxing explained: "It is a private club recommended by Xu Wenshen. It is actually a restaurant. It is more suitable for gatherings of friends or classmates, but there is no signboard outside."

Although Hu Ge is also a national idol and a first-line actor, he does not have much status in the film industry, and this party opened the door to a new circle for him.

Chen Jingxing made a surprised expression: "Did you realize it now? The projects I talk to people about are billion-level projects. Don't laugh, they are really billion-level projects."

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

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.

In the entertainment industry, resources mean power.

And Luo Chen and Hu Ge are also very grateful to Chen Jingxing. Although Luo Chen is one of the top people, traffic is just a bargaining chip to fight for resources. No matter how famous the traffic is, it cannot compare to the resource coffee. For a traffic like him who is in the process of transformation

To be honest, only getting closer to the resource allocation center of the entertainment industry can truly give him the courage to give up traffic as a bargaining chip.

Xu Wenshen suggested that it would be better to invite the leading actors from the two crews to have a dinner together, which is equivalent to a dinner for the wrap-up of "Signal" and a dinner for the main actors of "Source Code".

This is actually Chen Jingxing's original intention. He is relatively optimistic about the actors he has collaborated with and will collaborate with in the future.

Guo Fan also brought his wife.

"Gravity" should be rounded to one billion.

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

"Okay, but when we go in later we won't be embarrassed to find someone letting you off the hook."

Xu Wenshen thought that since Guo Fan was invited, it would be better to also invite other directors from the exchange study class in the United States.

Only Ning Hao and Xiao Yang were alone, without family members or friends.

Tang Xin looked up at the two brightly lit floors in the middle of the building. Even the curtains could not cover the bright lights: "I don't think you saw any sign?"

Chen Jingxing first took 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.

Because after the filming of "Signal" was completed, Chen Jingxing did not stay to have dinner with the leading 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 without stopping to start "The Signal".

The filming of "Source Code".

"Does anyone dare to let the entertainment industry boss's pigeon fly? Block him!"

He couldn't help but feel lucky once again for the decision he made. The director gave him such a great gift before the filming of the movie even started. This was already a considerable level of support.

In this way, what was originally a simple meeting and dinner for the leading actors turned into a star party held by "big names in the entertainment industry".

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

In addition, Chen Sicheng brought his wife Tong Liya and his beloved general Liu Haoran.

Now that it had reached this point, Chen Jingxing gave up the idea and suggested that those attending the dinner could also bring their family members or friends.

Most of the directors at this gathering can decide the ownership of resources or part of the resources.

"Lao Guo, you have to be well prepared. Director Qin doesn't have any objections now, but Director Liu Changhong has to reassure him."

Guo Fan was a little troubled 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 200 million, so you can trust me so much?"

It's not like you've never done a bigger production before. Chen Jingxing pretended to be confident: "Don't worry, just follow my plan. The more exciting the better, the more Hollywood the better. Director Liu will definitely like it."

Ning Hao said: "I have heard of the Mekong River project. Originally, the Ministry of Public Security was bidding for it, but later it was directly produced by the National Film Company. I really didn't expect that you provided the story of the Mekong River movie project."
