130: Tang Yan: Wow, Mimi, you two are meeting your parents so soon!

Hearing Wang Baoqiang's words, Chen Le shook his head with a smile. "Your own hard work and talent are also very important. Without your talent and effort, I wouldn't count as much of a talent scout."

Huang Bo, standing to the side, also laughed and said, "That's right, Baoqiang. You are certainly lucky, but without talent and effort, it would have been very difficult to get to where you are today."

"I've watched Baoqiang's progress every step of the way; I've seen all his hard work. It takes both talent and effort to reach this point." At this moment, Zhang Songwen also spoke up with a smile.

Wang Baoqiang was deeply moved by their words.

"By the way, Director Chen, I heard you filmed this movie specifically to get Baoqiang an award. Is that true?" Huang Bo asked curiously.

"It's true. I've already had people submit this film to major domestic and international film festivals. As long as he can win one award, it will be enough to prove Baoqiang's acting skills." Chen Le nodded with a smile, admitting it.

"In that case, given Baoqiang's acting, winning an award definitely won't be a problem," Huang Bo said with a smile.

After seeing Baoqiang's performance in Mr. Tree, he had been completely won over by Baoqiang's acting.

He was very confident about Baoqiang winning an award... At a brand event, Yang Mi was participating in an activity.

This event was something the studio had taken on; she happened to be interested, so she came.

Currently, Yang Mi was wearing a magnificent black gown and high heels, looking like a proud black swan.

As she walked through the event venue, people would occasionally come over to greet her.

After all, as a popular actress today, Yang Mi's status was no longer comparable to what it was a year ago.

Just then, she suddenly spotted a familiar, elegant figure.

"Tang Yan!" Yang Mi called out subconsciously.

At that moment, Tang Yan, also dressed in a beautiful gown, heard someone calling her, and the voice sounded very familiar.

She turned around and saw Yang Mi, a happy smile instantly appearing on her face.

"Mi Mi, why are you here too? What a coincidence!" Tang Yan was very happy; she hadn't expected to run into Yang Mi at this brand event.

After all, they were usually quite busy, especially Yang Mi, who hardly had any time to rest throughout the year.

"Yeah, what a coincidence. This is an event my company took on; I didn't expect you to be here either," Yang Mi said with a smile.

Meanwhile, the two great beauties standing together immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing this, Yang Mi took Tang Yan's hand and, with her long legs, led her to a corner with fewer people.

Even so, many people's eyes still followed them.

"Mi Mi, I heard your boyfriend filmed another movie recently called 'Hello, Mr. Tree.' The box office was 57 million, but the key is the investment was only five million. Did you know about that?" Tang Yan asked curiously.

"I know! Old Chen filmed that movie just so Wang Baoqiang could win an award." Yang Mi nodded and then continued, "Old Chen originally thought it would lose money, but it ended up not only breaking even but also making quite a bit."

As Yang Mi spoke, she couldn't stop smiling.

"Really? I felt Wang Baoqiang's acting was so good. That Mr. Tree was so tragic, and he played it so realistically that I almost cried," Tang Yan said in surprise.

"It really was tragic. I didn't quite understand it at first, but I got it after hearing Old Chen explain it later," Yang Mi said with a smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Is your Old Chen off filming a new project now?" Tang Yan looked at Yang Mi and asked.

"I think so. His company seems to be filming a new TV drama, and he's gone there to oversee things." Yang Mi nodded.

"Speaking of which, you guys have been dating for so long now. Have you met the parents yet?" Tang Yan suddenly asked with a grin.

She was more interested in their relationship than their careers.

"He met my parents." Hearing this, Yang Mi's face turned slightly red.

"And you? When are you going to meet his parents?" Tang Yan asked back.

"Probably during this Lunar New Year." Yang Mi was too embarrassed to say more.

"New Year? Is your progress that slow?" Tang Yan was a bit surprised.

"It's fine, I think this pace is actually quite fast," Yang Mi said, feeling a bit bashful.

As the two chatted, Tang Yan became more and more gossipy, even asking how many times a week they did it and so on.

This left Yang Mi with no idea how to answer, so she could only change the subject.

Meanwhile, after Chen Le finished his meal with Huang Bo and the others.

He was really bored at the company. Now that the company was on the right track, there was nothing to worry about.

As long as he wasn't filming a movie, there really wasn't much for him to do.

Thinking of this, Chen Le decided to go chat with Old Wang.

So he went to the Beijing Film Academy and headed to Dean Wang's office as usual.

"Old Wang, I've come to catch up with you." Chen Le was holding a box of tea leaves.

After all, he couldn't come empty-handed every time; that wouldn't be right.

"You're really idle lately. Don't you have a new movie to film?" Dean Wang looked at Chen Le with a face full of helplessness.

"I really don't right now. Director Xu Gang is filming the new project, so I'm definitely going to rest as much as I can!" Chen Le nodded with a smile.

"What kind of project is Director Xu Gang filming? Are you comfortable leaving it to him?" Dean Wang asked curiously.

"A TV drama," Chen Le replied.

"A TV drama? Then that's normal." Hearing it was a TV drama, Dean Wang's curiosity vanished instantly.

After all, the requirements for a director in a TV drama are indeed not that high.

"By the way, hasn't that movie of yours won any awards yet? It's been a while, and there hasn't been any news," Dean Wang asked with a laugh.

"No rush, it's not like there won't be even one." Chen Le waved his hand.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer.

Chen Le was eventually sent away by Dean Wang on the grounds of being busy with work.

Not long after leaving the Beijing Film Academy, Chen Le received a call from a somewhat unfamiliar number.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Ning Hao.

He immediately remembered who it was.

He answered the phone, and Ning Hao's voice came through.

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Ning Hao. Do you remember me?" Ning Hao's voice was respectful as he asked.

"Ning Hao, I remember you. Is there something you need from me?" Chen Le asked curiously.

"It's like this, Director Chen. I'm preparing to film a new movie recently, and I'd like to invite Zhang Songwen from your company..." Ning Hao asked very politely.

Hearing this, Chen Le understood immediately.

"Sure, he happens to have no filming scheduled lately." Chen Le readily agreed.

"Really? Thank you so much, Director Chen." There was a hint of pleasant surprise in Ning Hao's voice.

Originally, he thought it would be difficult. After all, as one of the leads in lost in thailand, even if Zhang Songwen's fame wasn't as great as Wang Baoqiang's, it was still quite high.

Logically, Zhang Songwen should be very busy, and even if he were to take a role, it would be for a Great Director's film.
