Chapter 54 First Encounter, Treating Guests
By all accounts, Han Dongjun should be considered Dilraba's junior. There are really a lot of actors from the three major drama academies in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Lin Gengxin, who was previously mentioned, was Dilraba's senior. Meng Ziyi, Chen Yao, and Nezha all graduated from Beijing Film Academy.
As for actors from the Central Academy of Drama, it goes without saying that the previous drama, "Hello, Old Times," featured two actors from the Central Academy of Drama as leads.
On the contrary, it would be rare for someone not to have graduated from one of the three major drama academies. For example, Yang Yang, the male lead of "Goodbye My Princess," came from the PLA Academy of Arts.
Chen Jingyuan didn't dwell on this matter much.
"I'm heading to the set of 'Goodbye My Princess,' do you want to come with me!?"
"If you're free, let's have dinner together later!"
After chatting with Chen Yao for more than ten minutes, Chen Jingyuan extended an invitation directly.
It was almost 4 p.m., not far from dinner time.
"Okay, okay!"
"Yaoyao, let's still go with Brother Jingyuan and get a big meal."
Meng Ziyi pulled Chen Yao aside and was the first to agree.
"I never said I couldn't go together!"
"There's still time to have a meal."
Chen Yao said with a hint of helplessness, "I had already asked for leave a long time ago."
Although she didn't have much free time because she was honing her acting skills for the role, Jingyuan had helped her a lot before.
A supporting role helped her make her debut and secure good conditions from the sugar man.
A meal is definitely essential!
The two quickly got into the Mercedes-Benz that Chen Jingyuan was riding in, and soon arrived at the "East Palace" film set.
After Chen Jingyuan got out of the car, he attracted the attention of many people in the crew.
During the initial planning stages, many members of the production team knew that Chen Jingyuan was the producer.
"Director Chen!"
"Director Chen!"
...
Upon seeing Chen Jingyuan, the crew members all spoke up.
"Please help me unload everything from the bread cart."
Chen Jingyuan instructed the staff.
"OK."
"no problem."
...
The crew members immediately sprang into action.
It's obvious that Director Chen bought this as a reward for the entire crew.
Chen Jingyuan's gaze fell on the filming scene not far away.
Dilraba, dressed in red and wearing a headdress, exuded an exotic charm.
Both Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao have their eyes on the filming of "East Palace".
Although "Goodbye My Princess" is a web series, its production quality is in no way inferior to that of a TV series.
"Let's hold off for now!"
"Let's welcome Director Chen first."
Wu Jinyuan suddenly spoke up after filming the scene.
He already knew from his assistant that Chen Jingyuan had arrived and had brought quite a few things.
Many actors were taken aback, but fortunately they quickly realized who Director Chen was.
Upon hearing this, Dilraba immediately lifted her red dress with both hands, turned around, and jogged towards Chen Jingyuan.
The two hadn't seen each other for quite some time.
Dilraba didn't care about her makeup and chose to hug Chen Jingyuan.
This was the second hug Chen Jingyuan had received, but it felt completely different.
Meng Ziyi's hug signifies dependence, while Dilraba's hug signifies longing.
"Reba, lots of people are watching."
Chen Jingyuan murmured softly, but Reba hugged him even tighter and showed no intention of letting go.
Although Dilraba is not very famous yet, there are still quite a few paparazzi in Hengdian.
It's inevitable that they'll be photographed!
At this moment, Chen Jingyuan gave Xiao Qiao a look.
"The director and Ms. Dilraba have known each other for a long time, and it's been quite an exciting time since we last met."
Qiao Yujie immediately understood and spoke up.
"Indeed, it's been a long time since we last met."
"I was so excited to see my friend."
...
Wang Tingting and others from Tianhe Studio echoed this sentiment.
They weren't fools; naturally, they helped the director cover for him at this moment.
It's obvious that the director doesn't want this relationship to be exposed.
For a celebrity like Dilraba, the best option is to admit that she doesn't have a boyfriend.
Friends are fine, even close friends are fine, but boyfriends are not.
Of course, Chen Jingyuan was also thinking about himself; he genuinely didn't want to appear in the entertainment section.
Reba naturally understood the difference between good and bad, knowing that this was for her own good, and that's why she slowly let go of his hands.
The two people embracing did not notice the change in Meng Ziyi's expression behind them, which clearly showed some unhappiness.
Meng Ziyi couldn't quite explain her inner emotions; she just felt a tightness in her chest.
She could sense that Jingyuan and the exotic beauty in front of her had a special relationship.
Chen Yao seemed to notice the change in Meng Ziyi's expression and took her left hand.
Meng Ziyi finally came to her senses and managed a weak smile.
"Reba, these are Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao."
"Xiao Meng and Xiao Chen, this is Dilraba."
...
Just then, Chen Jingyuan turned around and introduced Meng Ziyi and the other person.
"My two sisters, I am Dilraba."
"You can call me Sister Reba."
...
Dilraba smiled and spoke to Meng Ziyi and the other person.
She had already learned from Zhang Yunlong that Meng Ziyi and Chen Jingyuan had an unusual relationship.
But seeing Chen Jingyuan so open and honest now put my mind at ease, especially after seeing Meng Ziyi.
After being mentored and nurtured by Yang Mi, Dilraba has begun to transform into a star.
Their exotic features, combined with their unique temperament, create a special charm.
This completely overwhelmed Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao; at least, Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao still seemed quite inexperienced at this moment.
"Sister Reba, I'm Chen Yao, a friend of Brother Jingyuan."
Chen Yao spoke first, his words carrying a lot of warmth.
"I am Meng Ziyi, a good friend of Brother Jingyuan."
On the contrary, Meng Ziyi's words seemed a bit stubborn.
Chen Jingyuan had no intention of participating in the conversation between the three women; instead, he chose to follow director Wu Jinyuan to get to know the cast and crew.
He wasn't there when the casting was being done, so there's no way we could have gotten to know each other.
Apart from Zhang Yunlong, I've only seen the information about many of the other actors.
"This is the male lead, Yang Yang!"
"Director Chen!"
Yang Yang quickly greeted him, as the producer held a very high position.
Even with his extensive experience, director Wu Jinyuan could only act very kindly towards Chen Jingyuan.
Not to mention Yang Yang, who has not yet become a top star.
Of course, even if one becomes a top star, one would not easily offend someone like Chen Jingyuan.
Besides Yang Yang, many actors, even those playing supporting roles, came up to make their faces known.
Who knows, maybe the next project will offer an opportunity.
"Xiao Qiao, go and contact the nearby hotels."
"I'm treating the entire crew tonight."
After meeting with the many actors, Chen Jingyuan made a direct announcement.
The easiest way to integrate into the film crew is undoubtedly to treat them to a meal, even though it may cost some money, it's worth it.
"Thank you, Director Chen!"
"Thank you, Director Chen!"
The crew members present all wore expressions of excitement.
No one could refuse a free meal.
Director Wu Jinyuan was naturally not going to spoil the fun, since it was just dinner time anyway.
Fortunately, there were no night scenes scheduled for that evening, so it wouldn't interfere with the filming process at all.
