Chapter 309 Familiarizing Yourself with the Script!!
The next day, Chen Le bought plane tickets and took Zhou Yifeng back to the mainland. As planned, he arranged for Zhou Yifeng to stay in a house near the film crew.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Chen Le asked with a smile.
Zhou Yifeng nodded immediately without the slightest hesitation.
The mainland is nothing like Hong Kong, where land is incredibly valuable.
If this were in the city center, even a tiny room would cost at least several thousand yuan a month in rent!
Not to mention such a big house, that's something Zhou Yifeng wouldn't even dare to dream of!
Moreover, since this is the film crew's house, most of the filming equipment that Chen Le used when filming "Summer's Trouble" was left here, and Zhou Yifeng can use it directly!
But... with so many valuables, plus this house, Zhou Yifeng asked with some concern.
"The rent here shouldn't be too expensive, right?"
"Don't worry about that. The crew provides food and accommodation. You can stay here for free during filming."
Chen Le shook his head and explained.
Hearing this, Zhou Yifeng finally felt relieved, since he really didn't have much money left.
Just as the two were talking, someone knocked on the door, then came in, looked around, and finally fixed their gaze on Chen Le, asking respectfully, "Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Chen Le?"
Chen Le nodded.
"I'm."
Immediately, the man took out two gilded invitations from his pocket and handed them to Chen Le.
"This is from Mr. Zhang. It's tomorrow night at 8 PM at the Jinlong Hotel. Please be sure to attend on time."
After saying that, the man turned and left, leaving Chen Le and Zhou Yifeng looking at each other in bewilderment.
After the man left, Zhou Yifeng stepped forward, pointed to the invitation, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
When Chen Le opened the invitation, he saw that there were two identical invitations, and guessed that it must be that Old Zhang asked him to bring Zhou Yifeng along.
After all, as a respected figure in the film and television industry, Mr. Zhang has always taken good care of the younger generation. This banquet not only allows Chen Le to promote his new movie, but also gives Zhou Yifeng a chance to appear among those important figures.
Therefore, image is also a crucial factor.
Thinking of this, Chen Le looked up at Zhou Yifeng and suddenly asked, "Do you have a suit?"
Zhou Yifeng was taken aback, not expecting Chen Le to suddenly ask this question. After thinking for a moment, he said uncertainly, "I think so..."
"never mind,"
Zhou Yifeng shook his head and continued,
"Probably not. It's okay, I can rent one."
"That won't do,"
Chen Le shook his head and placed the invitation card aside.
The difference between a custom-made suit and a rented one is huge.
"I'll call a few friends and we'll go buy it together."
After saying that, Chen Le made a phone call and called Zhang Zihao and Chu Yaoyang out. One reason was to buy Zhou Yifeng a suit together, and the other was to let Zhou Yifeng get to know the other people in advance, and to see if Zhou Yifeng could sign with Happy Twist.
Soon, the two drove over, and upon entering, they were taken aback to see Zhou Yifeng sitting on the sofa.
They knew that Chen Le had hired a new actor in Hong Kong, but they didn't expect him to be so young, looking no more than twenty years old. Could he really act well in the movie?
However, the two didn't say much. After all, Chen Le had a sharp eye for people, and this time would be no exception.
"They've arrived, let's go."
Chen Le patted Zhou Yifeng on the shoulder and stood up to speak.
The four of them then went to the mall together and began to choose suits.
After browsing around, Zhou Yifeng had his eye on a few items, but the prices made him hesitate.
Surprisingly, the suits here are no cheaper than those in Hong Kong.
Just as Zhou Yifeng hesitated, Chen Le's voice came from behind him.
"Pick with confidence, I'll pay."
Even so, years of habit still made Zhou Yifeng subconsciously walk towards the discount section. After glancing at the prices, he couldn't help but gasp.
Even the discounted suits cost nearly three thousand yuan, which used to be half a month's salary for me!
After much deliberation, Zhou Yifeng finally picked out a suit that was reasonably priced. He was about to try it on to see if it fit, but the shop assistant stopped him.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but we do not offer try-on services for discounted suits."
The shop assistant explained with a smile, but that smile was full of contempt.
Hearing this, Zhou Yifeng stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to leave or stay. He could only try it on himself and, seeing that it was about right, decided to take the set.
Just then, Chen Le stepped forward, and Zhou Yifeng gave an awkward smile and explained,
"This set looks about the same, so I won't try it on. It's only a few hundred yuan anyway..."
"How will you know if it fits if you don't try it on? It's okay, try on whichever one you want."
Chen Le smiled and patted Zhou Yifeng on the shoulder, then winked at Zhang Zihao behind him.
Zhang Zihao understood immediately, took out his phone, and sent a message.
A moment later, the clerk's phone rang. When he answered it, he was met with a barrage of insults.
The shop assistant's expression went from calm to astonishment, and then to displeasure. In just a moment, the shop assistant put on a smiling face and bowed and scraped as he spoke to Zhou Yifeng.
"Sir, please come in. Please feel free to try on any of the clothes you like..."
Zhou Yifeng stood there, bewildered, wondering what Chen Le had done to cause such a complete change in the shop assistant's attitude.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean complexion rushed in. He first shook Chen Le's hand and exchanged pleasantries.
"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry, this was due to my poor management..."
After saying that, Mediterranean gave the shop assistant a severe dressing-down before turning to Chen Le and bowing obsequiously.
"Please wait a moment. I'll come personally this time and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
After saying that, Mediterranean said to Zhou Yifeng, "Sir, please come with me."
Zhou Yifeng nodded somewhat awkwardly and followed the bald man into the store.
Watching Zhou Yifeng's retreating figure, Chen Le smiled slightly. That's more like it.
A moment later, the Mediterranean-looking man came out, carrying large and small bags, and smiled obsequiously at Chen Le.
"Mr. Chen, these suits are all quite nice, but they need a few alterations. I've already arranged for someone to do it as soon as possible."
Chen Le nodded, glancing casually at the suits the Mediterranean man had picked out. They were indeed quite nice, but custom-made suits would suit Zhou Yifeng better; it's just a matter of time…
Thinking of the banquet tomorrow night, Chen Le frowned slightly and then asked, "It has to be tomorrow. Can you do that?"
"Yes, it's just a matter of working overtime. Don't worry, I can definitely do it!"
Mediterranean patted his chest and assured him.
Chen Le nodded without saying anything, then turned to Zhou Yifeng, who had just come out, and said, "Go back and familiarize yourself with the script first. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow afternoon."
Zhou Yifeng nodded and then took a taxi away.
