While having lunch, Zhang Zhong received a call from Shen Jian and asked him if he was free to have dinner together in the evening.
"Of course it's okay to eat, but do you have anything to discuss here?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"Can't I have dinner with you if I have nothing to do?" Shen Jian said with a smile. They have already become very good friends after knowing each other for so many years, so Shen Jian and Zhang Zhong have always been very casual when talking to each other.
"Big Star Shen invites me to dinner, why not? What I mean is, if you have nothing else to do, come to my house for dinner in the evening." Zhang Zhong said.
"I'd love to eat at your house, but two friends are here today, so it's not convenient for me to go to your house."
"Well, let me tell you why you were so kind as to invite me to dinner. It turned out that you asked me to accompany you." Zhang Zhong joked.
Shen Jian said quickly, "No, no, no, who dares to ask you to accompany guests? Most of them are people you know, Guan Bao, Li Xuenian, Teacher Li, and a few friends in the industry. It happens that there is a crew filming here, let's go together If you want to have a meal with someone, let them accompany you."
"Don't give me a high hat. I won't accept your trick. Send me the address later and I'll go directly there in the evening."
"Okay."
…
"Is that the voice of Brother Shen Jian?" Xu Yuhan was next to Zhang Zhong and vaguely heard the voice on the phone.
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Well, it's him. He's going to treat me to dinner tonight. You can take care of Pengpeng at home."
Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Just in time, Sister Hong asked me this morning if I wanted to go shopping in the afternoon. I was thinking it would be bad to leave you alone at home. Now, let's go separate ways."
"Why do you want to leave me alone at home? You can't take me with you when you go shopping?"
"Last time we went shopping together, it was better for you and Brother Liu Feng. Halfway through the shopping, we ran off to drink tea. It was as if we had not gone." Xu Yuhan curled her lips and said. She was quite complaining about the last shopping trip. .
Zhang Zhong shrugged, "Okay then, I'll let Xiaoqin see you off."
Xiaoqin is one of the few women in the security team. Generally, Xiaoqin is responsible for Xu Yuhan and others when they go out alone.
As for going shopping, Zhang Zhong was actually willing to go shopping with them, but he felt very tired every time he went shopping with them.
It’s not that men don’t like shopping, it’s just that their hobbies and interests are different. If the clothes in the mall were replaced with things that men are interested in, maybe men would be better able to shop than women.
For example, at the World Science Fiction Convention at that time, there were many girls who did not pay much attention to science fiction and accompanied their partners there. Their mood was actually similar to that of boys when they went shopping with them.
"Oh, don't let Sister Hong buy too many things for Pengpeng." Zhang Zhong asked again.
They went shopping together more than once or twice. Hong Yujiao often bought a lot of things for Pengpeng. This situation got better as they became more familiar with each other, but Zhang Zhong still warned her again.
"I know." Xu Yuhan smiled.
"You should also buy less." Zhang Zhong added.
"It depends on the situation." Xu Yuhan tilted her head, "If you come across good-looking clothes, there's nothing you can do about it."
Zhang Zhong shook his head helplessly. Xu Yuhan is also a relatively frugal person, but she is not very rational when it comes to buying clothes. Some clothes cannot be worn even after they are bought home. Zhang Zhong even knows that she has one Except for wearing the skirt once when I tried it on in the mall, I never saw her wearing it again.
Ding dong.
The phone rang. Zhang Zhong picked it up and saw that it was from Shen Jian. It had the address for dinner tonight.
This time it’s a new restaurant called Xiangli Folks.
…
The name Xiangli Folks sounds like a small hotel, but the reality is as expected by Zhang Zhong. The hotel only has one floor, and the sign at the door looks like a small food stall.
However, after walking in, it feels like a different world and the area is quite large.
"This place is quite hard to find." Following Shen Jian as he walked into the restaurant, Zhang Zhong looked around the inside of the restaurant and said with a smile.
"Even though this place is small, everything is authentic." Shen Jian said with a smile.
Zhang Jian nodded. If the food in this kind of place is not delicious, there is no need for Shen Jian and the others to come.
The two walked inside for a while before Shen Jian opened the door of a private room.
Seeing Zhang Zhong, everyone in the room who had been sitting and chatting stood up.
Zhang Zhong took a quick glance and saw that most of them were acquaintances, including Guan Bao, Li Xuenian and the previous executive director of "The Soul-Breaking Gun".
There were two other people whom Zhang Zhong knew although he had never met them before. They were both big stars who often appeared on TV.
One is Luo Yu, who is about the same age as Shen Jian, but unlike Shen Jian, Luo Yu has acted in various genres, such as the Emperor of Vision and the Emperor of Acting. He has a wide range of acting skills.
Zhang Zhong has always felt that Luo Yu is a bit similar to Ge You on Earth. Not only do they look alike, but Luo Yu can also feel Ge You's feeling, that calm and down-to-earth feeling.
The other one is Feng Ziyan, who is of the same generation as Li Xuenian, but compared to Li Xuenian, Feng Ziyan appears more on the small screen. He also won the title of The Emperor before, but now he mainly acts in some life dramas.
"These two..."
When Shen Jian was about to introduce them, Zhang Zhong waved his hand, "I don't know Teacher Luo and Teacher Feng. Shen Jian told me that friends were coming, but I didn't expect it to be you two."
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, we are very surprised that you can come today."
Then Zhang Zhong greeted several other acquaintances, and everyone sat down again.
Before Zhang Zhong came, everyone was chatting about things in the circle, which director had a new play, which actor had made some news recently, and so on.
Now that Zhang Chong is back, naturally we can no longer talk about such topics.
They are all practitioners in the film and television industry. Only Zhang Zhong is from the literary circle. Naturally, the ones they can talk about are Zhang Zhong's previous novels that were adapted into film and television dramas.
However, except for Luo Yu and Feng Ziyan, everyone here has cooperated with Zhang Zhong, so it is easy to find topics.
Li Xuenian said with a smile, "I just met the literary director Wen Jinjiang some time ago, and we talked about the filming of "Ten Little Indian Boys". We both felt that several years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Shen Jian took over the conversation, "You have to thank me for this. I was the one who pulled the strings at that time, otherwise we wouldn't have had that cooperation."
Hearing that he sounded quite proud, Guan Bao teased, "I remember that time you introduced me, you probably wanted to get a role for yourself, but it's a pity that I didn't get anything out of it after all the work."
"What you're saying, how do you think "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" came about? If it weren't for me, you'd be wrong."
"You made a lot of money from "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood," right? You make it sound like you worked hard for me."
"I was originally going to play Xu Sanguan, but ended up playing He Xiaoyong."
