Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 348 347. Jennifer: “Didn’t you say you listened to me?”

There were many people in the lively cocktail party, and there were different circles. Many people were squeezing into circles that did not belong to them.

Chen Li'an has been following Chuan Jianguo for a while and found that he can talk to him in every circle and has friends.

A businessman became an actor and later ran for election. He is quite similar to Chen Li'an in that they both like to be multi-faceted.

It's just that Chuan Jianguo later became the boss of the United States, and he was much more powerful than Chen Li'an. Chen Li'an probably wouldn't even be able to become the chairman of the Artists Association in his life.

Later, many people on the Internet laughed at Sichuan Jianguo, saying that he was very unscrupulous, but there were a few people who were better than him. He was a rich man worth billions of dollars and was the boss of the United States. There were really few people who were better than him.

When Chen Li'an recalled Chuan Jianguo's glorious deeds, Chuan Jianguo also noticed him and came over immediately.

"Hello, I am Chuan Jianguo."

Chen Li'an looked at Chuan Jianguo and wondered why he came to him, but he stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, nice to meet you."

"Have you heard my name?" Chuan Jianguo asked with a smile, looking a little surprised and a little complacent.

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "I've heard of it. I've seen the movie you acted in. Your performance was very good, but I didn't know you were a businessman before."

Chuan Jianguo said with a smile: "Family business, actually I prefer to be an actor."

Chen Li'an clinked glasses with Chuan Jianguo and said, "I also like to be an actor. I like the feeling of being on stage and being the center of attention."

"Then we are very similar, and I also like the feeling of being in the spotlight!" Chuan Jianguo's eyes lit up, as if he saw a close friend.

Chen Li'an smiled slightly, guessing that saying this would make Chuan Jianguo happy. This guy really likes to be in the spotlight and has a natural performing personality.

Chen Li'an has only seen one person who can post dozens or hundreds of updates a day. So far.

"I just heard you talking about Miss Universe?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Chuan Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, I have some shares. This is the largest beauty pageant in the world."

"Why not let China join Miss Universe?" Chen Li'an looked at him and said, "If there is no Oriental face, it will not be worthy of the title of Universe."

Chuan Jianguo was a little speechless. He originally wanted to say that China was too backward, but he still held back.

However, competitions like Miss Universe do depend on the strength of the country. After all, it cannot be held without money.

Chen Li'an looked at Chuan Jianguo, who was speechless, and said more on this topic. If there is an opportunity in the future, he could try to cooperate. The beauty contest and his own cultural brand are actually quite complementary.

Chuan Jianguo is quite curious about Chen Li'an. He is very curious about how Chen Li'an has become famous all over the world in just over a year. This makes him envious.

Regarding this point, Chen Li'an really has nothing to share, except that he has created some relatively high-profile works of art. There is capital behind the controversial topics, plus some coincidences and the fame brought by scandals.

Chen Li'an had read Chuan Jianguo's encyclopedia before and knew that this guy had been squeezing into the political arena in the past two years, and that he had repeatedly jumped between several parties, quite like the American Lu Bu.

However, Chen Li'an still gave Chuan Jianguo some small suggestions.

"What you lack is a professional marketing team. You need packaging and topics. Celebrities have their own personalities, and politicians also have their own opinions. Of course, the most important thing is that you need to understand what the people like."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he clinked glasses with Chuan Jianguo and said: "If you are really interested, we can have a good chat another day. I know a few very professional talents. We are the same kind of people. Maybe we will become very good friends. I and You also like to cross borders, I am also an excellent businessman in my country, and we will have many common topics."

Chuan Jianguo was immediately interested and said to Chen Li'an, "Of course, I'm glad to meet a friend like you tonight."

Chuan Jianguo actually checked the information about Chen Li'an. He originally wanted to study how Chen Li'an became famous, but after checking, he found that this guy is too similar to himself. He is very successful as an actor and even more successful as an artist. The key is that he seems to be very good at business. .

Chuan Jianguo suddenly thought that it would be great if Chen Li'an could become his partner, so he asked tentatively: "Are you interested in being Miss Universe in China?"

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows and coughing, and said, "Do you have any plans to let China join?"

"Of course! We need a Chinese partner!"

"Stop talking, after drinking this glass of wine, we will be good friends from today on!"

Ding~

The sound of the clinking wine glasses made Chen Li'an feel very pleasant. The drink tonight was not in vain.

After a while, Ji Fa came over after chatting with a few friends. After saying hello to Chuan Jianguo, he took Chen Li'an to the other side.

"Who was that Huang Mao just now?" Ji Fa asked curiously.

Chen Li'an joked: "The future boss of the United States."

Ji Fa rolled his eyes at Chen Li'an, thinking that he was deliberately teasing him and not paying attention, so he said: "I will take you to meet a few friends, and they will come to support the event tomorrow."

"Okay, that's a potential customer." Chen Li'an agreed with a smile.

Chen Li'an wasn't very good at socializing, but with Ji Fa's assistance, it went smoothly. The chat ended after more than ten minutes.

Chen Li'an breathed a sigh of relief. He still didn't like this kind of occasion. He took a glass of wine and went to sit on the sofa in the corner.

But when I walked over, I found that Jennifer was also here, and she was alone. Her original male companion was missing.

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and then took the initiative to say hello. Jennifer glanced at him and felt that he looked familiar. She nodded and then remained silent. She seemed to be in a bad mood.

Chen Li'an didn't even think about taking the initiative to stick up to her, so he just sat aside and drank wine leisurely, only glancing at Jennifer from time to time.

When Chen Li'an set his eyes on Jennifer for the third time, Jennifer finally couldn't help it anymore, looked at him and asked: "Do you want to know me? If you want to know me, be bold instead of sitting there hesitating."

What a straight shot. Chen Li'an was a little surprised that Jennifer's personality was so different from what he imagined, so he smiled and said, "The East values ​​subtlety."

"This is America, not the East, and being subtle won't do anything." Jennifer replied quickly, as if she was losing her temper.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Why doesn't it work? Don't we already know each other now? And we have begun to discuss the differences between Eastern and Western cultures."

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Jennifer choked for a moment and then couldn't help but laugh. Her depressed brows relaxed, but she still said stiffly: "I don't even know your name, so I don't count as acquaintance."

"Chen Li'an, an artist." Chen Li'an immediately added, then slightly raised his chin to indicate that it was her turn.

Jennifer's eyes widened a little, and she seemed surprised that Chen Li'an didn't recognize her. She was Jennifer Connelly!

But what was even more surprising was that the man opposite said that he was Chen Li'an. Jennifer made her debut in a British TV series. She had also watched the news these days, but she didn't remember what Chen Li'an looked like.

After all, in the whole incident, Chen Li'an only showed his face twice, and he was the one who picked out the general among the dwarfs in the group of protesters and pushed him to the stage to attract public opinion.

Seeing Jennifer's surprised look, Chen Li'an couldn't help but laugh. I'm so embarrassed that I won't tell you that I know you.

Jennifer saw Chen Li'an smiling, and then she realized that this guy did it on purpose. She resisted the urge to kick him, snorted and turned her head away from him.

Men are all the same! It’s nice to say it’s subtle!

Chen Li'an no longer took the initiative to talk to Jennifer, and just sat there drinking. Sometimes being too proactive is not a good thing.

The two of them just sat there without saying anything for several minutes.

Jennifer looked at the male companion who came with her in the crowd in the distance and was chatting with a woman, and she was smiling happily, and she felt even more unhappy.

Her male companion is the object of her ambiguity. The two met this year. The ambiguity came quickly, but problems will inevitably arise when this ambiguity does not quickly turn into feelings.

Chen Li'an also followed Jennifer's gaze at this time, and he probably understood why Jennifer was in a bad mood tonight.

Jennifer also noticed Chen Li'an's gaze and looked away not wanting to be laughed at by him.

Jennifer was indeed a little upset. The wine in the glass was quickly finished. Just as she was about to get up to get a glass, there was an extra glass of wine in front of her.

Chen Li'an pushed the wine glass in front of her and said, "Drinking when you are in a bad mood is actually of no use."

Jennifer glanced at him without saying anything. She just picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and was about to leave. He would not comfort a lovelorn girl.

But as soon as I got up, I heard Jennifer say: "Drink a drink with me."

Chen Li'an turned to look at her and said, "If you're doing it to piss off your boyfriend, I'm not interested."

"He is not my boyfriend!" Jennifer said this with a feeling of gritted teeth. She looked at Chen Li'an waiting for her answer and said: "I just want to find someone to have a drink with me. Don't you have a female companion too? ?”

"If it's a drink as a friend, of course it's okay." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he looked at her, but still didn't sit down.

Jennifer glanced at Chen Li'an secretly and said, "My name is Jennifer Connelly. Are we considered friends now?"

Chen Li'an sat down with a smile and said, "Of course, nice to meet you, Miss Jennifer."

I'm not happy, you're not a gentleman at all. Jennifer complained in her heart, but now she really wanted to find someone to have a drink with, and Chen Li'an's inactive behavior really made her less defensive.

Chen Li'an called the waiter to get two glasses of wine, handed her one, clinked the glasses and said, "This is our first drink as friends."

Jennifer finished the drink in one gulp, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "You can start the second cup."

After Chen Li'an finished his drink, he said: "If this is how we drink, we should go to a bar or open a separate bottle of wine."

Jennifer stood up immediately and said, "It just so happens that I don't want to be here anymore, let's go."

Now it was Chen Li'an's turn to be speechless, and he just left like that?

Looking at Chen Li'an who was sitting still, Jennifer felt a little angry again for some reason. Did this man think too little of her? Other men didn't know how proactive they were when they first met her!

However, Chen Li'an's behavior made Jennifer feel a little competitive. She looked at him and said, "You're not going to say Oriental subtlety again, are you?"

Chen Li'an smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course not. I was just thinking about where to go for a drink. I just came to New York and I'm not familiar with it yet."

After saying that, Chen Li'an stood up, walked to Jennifer, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, the rest of the time will be at your discretion."

Finally, you acted like a gentleman. Jennifer suddenly felt much more comfortable. She thought you were so cold!

Looking at Chen Li'an's bent arms, Jennifer stepped forward without hesitation and asked: "I know a place, come with me."

Chen Li'an and Jennifer disappeared quietly at the reception. Matthew and Chuan Jianguo, who wanted to chat with Chen Li'an, searched around but couldn't find them.

When Ji Fa later received a call from Chen Li'an and found out that he and Jennifer had run away, she was furious. Originally, she had planned to spend a crazy night with Chen Li'an.

"Damn bitch!" Ji Fa held the phone bitterly and couldn't help but muttered: "Then don't blame me for going to find Bo Qing."

The fragrant and soft Baiqing is the best!

Chen Li'an on the other side was really confused when he saw Jennifer driving wildly. Isn't she a pure and beautiful girl? Why are you so wild!

Also, is this drunk driving?

Chen Li'an looked at Jennifer and wanted to persuade her to drive slower, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that she would go against her will and directly kick the accelerator and die with him.

As expected, foreign women do not have soft tempers. Chen Li'an couldn't help but think of Sophie Marceau. The image on the screen is also that of a pure and beautiful girl, but in fact she is also extremely wild.

Jennifer drove very fast and arrived at the destination in ten minutes. When the car stopped, Chen Li'an breathed a sigh of relief, but looked a little puzzled at the scenery outside.

Where is this? It doesn't look very wealthy, and there's no bar here.

Without any explanation, Jennifer took Chen Li'an out of the car and walked toward a small apartment building on the roadside.

Chen Li'an was following her, too lazy to ask so many questions about whether he could still sell himself.

This is New York, not Myanmar.

Soon Chen Li'an followed Jennifer to an apartment. She skillfully took out the key under the carpet at the door, then opened the door and went in.

Chen Li'an also followed in, but he smelled a musty smell. It seemed that no one had lived in this apartment for a long time.

Jennifer turned on the light and ran to open the window. The cold wind of the winter night blew in, but Jennifer did not feel cold. She fell straight on the sofa in the living room, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "The wine is in the kitchen and in the refrigerator." There’s ice.”

Chen Li'an said speechlessly: "I am a guest, right?"

"Didn't you say you listened to me?"

"oh."
