Chapter 901 - Persuasion to Act in a Movie! (1/2)

“Eh?”

Li Huawen was stunned. He turned to look at Fang Qiu and asked in surprise, “How do you know?”

“Because of Hero Yang Yizhi.

“Some time ago, Director Chen said that he would make a movie about Hero Yang Yizhi. He was the first one that came to my mind. It seems to be true,” said Fang Qiu.

“Yes, that is Director Chen Xiaogang.”

Li Huawen nodded and added, “Since you have guessed that he wants to meet you, you should also have guessed his purpose, right?”

“To make a movie,” Fang Qiu answered.

“What do you think?” Li Huawen smiled and asked, “Are you interested?”

“I’m a doctor.” Fang Qiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, “I’m neither an actor nor a star. It’s a bit unprofessional for me to perform at the New Year’s Gala and act in a movie.”

“Are you sure you’re not a star?”

Li Huawen glanced at Fang Qiu and said resignedly, “Let me tell you something. You’re more famous than a star now. Some people said that this year is the year of Fang Qiu, and I also think so! Look at how popular you are this year. If you weren’t a doctor and didn’t compete with stars for a job, those stars would have united to crack you down a long time ago!”

Hearing that, Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

“From your performance on the program, it seems that you respect Yang Yizhi very much. Director Chen Xiaogang chose you because of your respect for Hero Yang Yizhi and your talent showed in the variety show.”

While pulling Fang Qiu out, Li Huawen asked again, “Are you really not interested in acting?”

“Not interested.”

Fang Qiu shook his head again.

He majored in medicine, and he was a hidden guru in Wulin. Why did he act in a movie?

During the talk, they walked out of the Central Television and got in Li Huawen’s car.

Twenty minutes later.

Led by Li Huawen, Fang Qiu came to a tea room hidden in the corner. It looked simple, but it was extremely exquisite.

The two of them came to the early reserved room together and saw the famous director Chen Xiaogang and his personal scriptwriter Zhao Rulong!

“Welcome.”

As soon as Fang Qiu and Li Huawen entered the door, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately rose to greet them and said, “Nice to meet you!”

Fang Qiu hurriedly returned a salute.

“Please sit down.”

Zhao Rulong echoed and led Fang Qiu and Li Huawen to the table to sit down.

The four people in the room were all seated.

“I can hear Fang Qiu’s name at least three times a day. Today, I finally have the honor to see him. He is indeed a talented young man!”

As soon as they sat down, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately began to praise Fang Qiu.

“Director Chen, you’re flattering me,” Fang Qiu said humbly.

“No, no. Now, everyone in the country knows Fang Qiu!”

Zhao Rulong gave a loud laugh and added, “A talented man can’t hide his brilliance.”

Fang Qiu smiled.

They praised him so much the first time they met that he felt embarrassed.

At this time, Director Chen Xiaogang glanced at Li Huawen. Li Huawen shook his head gently.

Chen Xiaogang’s heart sank after he received the signal.

He asked Director Li to sound out Fang Qiu’s attitude toward playing a role in his film. Now it seemed that Fang Qiu was unwilling to act in a movie.

It seemed that he had to play the second trick.

Immediately, Chen Xiaogang sighed deeply. As he poured the wine for Fang Qiu, he said in a low and miserable voice, “Brother Fang Qiu, I am really envious of you. With such a great reputation, you can still restrain yourself and know what you want.

“I’m now overwhelmed by my reputation, close to death. Look at me. I haven’t made any good works for so many years. Although I’ve always wanted to make a good work for the public, the material is hard to find!

“Brother Fang Qiu, to tell you the truth, I invited you here today because of the variety show that you participated in earlier.” Director Chen Xiaogang frowned and sighed bitterly as he grabbed Fang Qiu’s hand.

His expression was sincere, and his voice was miserable.

Seeing this scene, Director Li Huawen was dumbfounded.

The name of Chen Xiaogang would make all the celebrities in the entertainment circle shudder and scramble for him. If they were to see what Chen Xiaogang looked like now, their eyes would pop out from their sockets.

A big shot in the entertainment circle took the initiative to come here for a meal and praised a newcomer as soon as he sat at the table. After that, he even began to cry for sympathy.

“What is he going to do?

“To persuade Fang Qiu to put on a show by touching him with misery and reasoning with him with the truth?

“What’s more, why did he touch Fang Qiu’s hand?

“Does he have any moral integrity?”
