Chapter 80 Joining the group, treacherous and vicious, and elegant

They are all middle-aged people who have worked in society for many years. Things are going smoothly, naturally, and the atmosphere of the dinner is harmonious with each other's business compliments.

The only one was Miss Singapore, Chen Jiajun. Maybe because she had just entered the industry, she was a little reserved and didn't talk much during the meal.

As the only two women at the table, Gu Jialan must take into account the feelings of Chen Jiajun, who is also a woman, so she smiled and asked, "Miss Chen is from Singapore? Chinese?"

Chen Jiajun nodded politely and said, "Yes, I was born in Singapore and later went to Canada to study, majoring in British literature!"

Mai Xiongxiong said: "Our Miss Chen is not only beautiful, but also a master of literature in the UK. She is talented and smart!"

Gu Jialan was surprised and asked, "How did Miss Chen end up in the entertainment industry?"

Chen Jiajun smiled shyly: "Last year, I accompanied my friend to participate in the selection of Miss Lion City. Unexpectedly, my friend failed, but I won the title! Then I was spotted by a scout and came to Hong Kong Island to film!"

"This is Miss Chen's second movie. I'd like to ask Mr. Shen to take care of her when the time comes!" Xiang Huasheng said with a meaningful smile.

Shen Lang thought Xiang Huasheng was talking about taking care of the newcomers, so he didn't take his words to heart. He just nodded and smiled politely at Chen Jiajun.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Jiajun saw him looking at her, her face became hot and her hand holding the red wine glass was shaking slightly. Even the red liquid in the glass was creating ripples due to the shaking.

……

Three days later, Shen Lang flew to Wanwan Island.

As soon as he checked in, the girls at the front desk who spoke Taiwanese brought Shen Lang's photo and asked him to sign it.

The assistant director in charge of reception smiled and said, "You and Liu Dehua are the most famous in our crew. The hotel manager called Mr. Mai early in the morning to negotiate, saying that the female employees in the hotel want to ask you for an autograph and take a photo with them. Look!"

Shen Lang naturally would not refuse the fans' request. He smiled and signed autographs and took photos with everyone.

As soon as Shen Lang left, the young girl in the hotel lowered her voice and started discussing excitedly.

"It doesn't look as bad as it does on TV!"

"I'm a bit handsome. When we took the photo, I put my hand on his chest..."

"Really? Really? What does it feel like?"

"Solid as a rock!"

"I'm so envious. Why can't I squeeze in next to Teacher Shen? I'm so angry..."

Shen Lang had just arrived at the floor reserved by the crew, but unexpectedly, the first person he met was not the director and the producer, but Liu Dehua who had been waiting there for a long time!
When Liu Dehua saw Shen Lang, he stood up from the booth on the first floor and came out to greet him.

"Teacher Shen! You must have worked hard on the journey. Please take a seat, please take a seat!"

The two sat down and ordered some drinks. Shen Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, thank you very much for your financial help before!"

Liu Dehua laughed loudly and shook his head, "Teacher Shen, I should be the one to thank, right? The box office of the movie Crazy Stone has reached 80 million now. After deducting all the expenses, even now, I can still get more than 30 million."

"An investment of three million, a return of ten times, this is the fortune that Teacher Shen has brought me!"

Shen Lang smiled: "You can't say that. Peng Mo has found so many investors, and everyone has read the script, so why did you still invest in this play? This shows that you have a good vision!"

Liu Dehua personally handed the coffee from the waiter to Shen Lang and said, "No, my vision for choosing scripts is not as good as my vision for choosing actors! My biggest mistake was to invite you to star in it!"

Just then, director Mai Xiongxiong came back from outside.

Seeing Shen Lang, he greeted him warmly, then turned to Liu Dehua and said, "Mr. Liu, some local friends want to invite you to dinner. They all helped the crew... What do you think..."

Hearing this, Liu Dehua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get ready and set off!"

Mai Xiongxiong said: "Okay, Mr. Xiang is waiting for you downstairs!"

Looking at Liu Dehua's back, Shen Lang felt so sad.

This guy is a superstar in singing, an award-winning actor in acting, and has made a fortune from investments. He is surrounded by people wherever he goes. He is definitely a winner in life.

Just now, I was feeling a little smug because the assistant director mentioned me and Liu Dehua together as the two big names in the crew. Now thinking about it, I almost want to cover my face.

After Liu Dehua left, Mai Xiongxiong said, "Teacher Shen, although the crew has already made a preliminary decision on your role as Zhou Chaoxian!"

"But the process should still be..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shen Lang already understood what Director Mai meant.

That’s right, I think you, Shen Lang, have good acting skills, and I also want to take advantage of your current popularity, but you have never played a role like Zhou Chaoxian, so I’m still a little worried!

The politeness of middle-aged people is that when others say three points, you should add the other seven points.

"Director Mai, after I went back that day, I felt stressed after reading the script. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to play Zhou Chaoxian well. It's great that you said that. I just want to try my hand at acting. Please give me some advice!"

"Oh, oh, I don't dare!" Shen Lang's knowledge and tact moved Mai Xiongxiong very much. "Teacher Shen, you are so polite. You are more humble and polite than many celebrities I have met! I really like working with you!"

In the studio, Li Qiu, who was specially invited by Gu Jialan, was putting makeup on Shen Lang.

She has now almost become Shen Lang's [exclusive makeup artist].

There are rumors in the industry that Li Qiu’s understanding of Mr. Shen Lang’s face has reached the point where he can change his look at will.

After Teacher Li's makeup, Shen Lang perfectly fits the character in the script no matter what role he plays.

Li Qiu didn't believe it at first, but when doing makeup for others, she never felt as comfortable as when she was doing styling for Shen Lang.

Finally, she also felt that maybe her horoscopes were compatible with Teacher Shen, and that Teacher Shen was the man destined to be with her in this life.

The destined man said at this time: "Teacher Li, the character of Zhou Chaoxian should have a sallow complexion, what do you think?"

"Hmm..., why is that?"

"Because Zhou Chaoxian suffers from severe kidney failure in the drama!"

"Ah, that's it!"

"Teacher Li, the corners of the eyes need to be sharper!"

"why?"

“Because this character is very fierce!”

"Ah! That's it!"

"Teacher Li, give us some more elegance! Here are the eyebrows!"

"Why..., forget it, I won't ask!"

"That's fine, right?" Shen Lang nodded repeatedly.

After putting on makeup, Shen Lang tried on the suit brought by the crew.

When he just walked out of the dressing room, Mai Xiongxiong's eyes lit up: "Teacher Shen's eyes, this, this looks very fierce! But..."

"But in the midst of its ferocity, it also strikes me as treacherous!"

"No, no, Mr. Shen's original temperament still has a hint of shrewd elegance!"

"It is said in the industry that Teacher Li Qiu is the best at putting on makeup for you. I didn't believe it at first, but now I am convinced!"

The assistant director also looked at Shen Lang in disbelief and said, "Teacher Shen, this look makes me feel like I'm seeing the 15K big brother from Hong Kong Island before I even start acting!"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Director, which scene do you want to try?"

Mai Xiongxiong flipped open the script in his hand and pointed to the second page, saying, "Let's go to this scene, the one where Zhou Chaoxian and the judge are having a massage!"
