Chapter 409 The Xiang Family's Move
Speaking of Chu Yaoyang, that kid...
Chen Le only chatted with Wu Jiang for a while, and then the kid disappeared somewhere.
Hopefully, this guy isn't out flirting with girls; he'll do something productive...
As Chen Le walked, he watched Zheng Tianming chatting and laughing with others, secretly mocking him.
Although Zheng Tianming was a well-known director, in Chen Le's eyes at this moment, he was nothing more than a dog of the Xiang family.
He bites whoever the Xiang family tells him to bite.
However, although Zheng Tianming held little importance in Chen Le's heart, the Xiang family was something Chen Le had to take seriously.
The Xiang family is, after all, the most powerful family in Hong Kong, with terrifying influence. Even Chen Le has to admit that the Xiang family is still his biggest rival in business.
Thinking of this, Chen Le couldn't help but think of Wu Jiang, whom he had just met.
Wujiang is a prime example.
Chen Le knew from his previous life that not only in Wujiang, but also in Hong Kong, many actors were forced to film Category III films because they couldn't get roles due to financial constraints.
Even so, these actors still did not give up their dreams of becoming actors.
Although they filmed Category III films, their acting skills continued to improve; in fact, each of them was quite good at acting.
Many of these people proved themselves in later generations.
Some of them even became award-winning actors!
Chen Le's heart stirred. If he could sign these people, wouldn't he have a pretty good cast of actors?
After all, these people are all good actors, and their salaries are definitely not high.
Chen Le thought to himself, if he could really sign these people, wouldn't his movie take off?
However, this matter needs to be considered carefully. After all, although these actors have good acting skills, their reputations are not very good. If they are signed rashly, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.
Chen Le pondered to himself that this matter still needed careful planning.
However, the thought of having a group of actors with good acting skills and good looks, and whose pay is not high, made Chen Le feel excited.
Just then, the entire venue suddenly went dark.
Chen Le was stunned, not knowing what had happened. The next moment, he saw the screen in the hall suddenly light up.
On the screen, what appeared was none other than "The Legend of Fengxian" starring Xiang Xiatian!
Chen Le frowned slightly, secretly sneering to himself.
As expected of the Xiang family, they've gone to such lengths to promote their son.
You should know that this is a banquet hosted by the Xiang family, and all the attendees are prominent figures in Hong Kong.
The Xiang family is actually openly advertising their son here; that's quite a bold move.
Chen Le sneered inwardly, but he didn't say anything more. After all, this was a matter for the Xiang family and had nothing to do with him.
However, Chen Le was somewhat curious about how well Xiang Xiatian's "The Legend of Fengxian" was filmed.
Chen Le's gaze fell on the screen, wanting to see how Xiang Xiatian's "The Legend of Immortals" was.
Just as Chen Le was about to test Xiang Xiatian's acting skills, a figure suddenly darted out from the side and came directly to Chen Le's side.
"Brother Le, you're here too." Chu Yaoyang appeared next to Chen Le with a funny face and greeted him with a smile.
Chen Le rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Where did you run off to, you brat?"
Chu Yaoyang chuckled, scratched his head, and said, "Brother Le, I'm just going to meet some new friends."
Upon hearing this, Chen Le was immediately furious. Making new friends? This kid can't resist beautiful women; he must have been nowhere to be seen just now.
Judging from this, he probably got the WeChat contacts of a lot of beautiful women again.
Chen Le was somewhat helpless and was about to scold the kid when Chu Yaoyang quickly pointed at the screen and said, "Brother Le, isn't this a promotional video for The Legend of Immortal Sealing?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Le's gaze returned to the screen.
It has to be said that the Xiang family really went all out to promote Xiang Xiatian. This promotional video is even more impressive than the ones they released before.
On the screen, the protagonist, played by Xiang Xiatian, was shirtless, revealing his eight-pack abs, surrounded by lightning, exuding a cool and edgy vibe.
Looking at the special effects on the screen, Xiang Xiatian's muscles did look real. Although he didn't understand why he was so easily defeated by Bai Zhi that day, judging from his physique, if Bai Zhi hadn't intervened, he probably would have suffered a bit at the elevator entrance that day.
It must be said that although Xia Tian is the heir of the Xiang family, his physique still shows a degree of dedication from an actor.
And what followed was a magnificent and epic battle!
Countless cultivators flew through the air and burrowed underground, unleashing a variety of spells; the whole scene was quite breathtaking.
Chen Le couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This promotional video looked pretty good, but he wondered what the actual video would be like.
In comparison, the promotional video for "A Chinese Odyssey" that Chen Le filmed earlier seems rather small-scale.
However, Chen Le didn't care at all.
After all, his film "A Chinese Odyssey" and "The Legend of the Immortals" are not the same type at all.
"A Chinese Odyssey" focuses on comedy and absurdity, while "The Legend of Fengxian" focuses on fantasy and action. If you were to forcibly compare the promotional video with "The Legend of Fengxian", it would be somewhat inferior.
Chen Le thought to himself, it seems that he needs to strengthen the promotion of "A Chinese Odyssey".
However, just as Chen Le was about to look away, he suddenly realized that something seemed off about the scene on the screen.
Chen Le was taken aback. After taking a closer look, he realized that the images on the screen were starting to repeat!
That's right, it's a repetition!
The promotional video that was just playing for about ten seconds has started playing again!
Chen Le was a little confused. What was going on?
Shouldn't this promotional video be several minutes long?
How come it ended in just over ten seconds?
Thinking about this, Chen Le couldn't help but feel speechless. What exactly was going on with Zheng Tianming?
Both promotional videos are so short, what was he thinking?
Chen Le shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the Xiang family was quite interesting.
Just then, Zheng Tianming came up to the stage and was very satisfied with the reaction of the guests below.
Seeing Chen Le's shocked expression made him even more smug.
Zheng Tianming had no idea what Chen Le was thinking; he only thought that Chen Le was shocked by his promotional video.
Thinking about this, Zheng Tianming couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.
Chen Le, Chen Le, who do you think you are?
You think you can compete with me with your low-budget film?
It’s ridiculous!
