Superstar Growth Handbook

Xia Chen was startled, did they know their father?

Not only Xia Chen was surprised, but even Chen Ran was a little surprised. He knew a lot about elders and youth, but he didn't know there was such a thing.

The person who made the tea continued, "It looks like it, but the temperament is different. Xia Handong was so romantic when he was young, really." The person shook his head while talking, and everyone laughed after hearing it.

The man in Tang suit looked at Xia Chen and asked, "Who is your mother?"

Xia Chen replied, "Chen Bizhu."

The man in Tang suit nodded, "Oh, Second Miss."

Xia Chen nodded. Xia Chen's mother was the second young lady of a wealthy family in the last century. After she got married, many people still called her that.

The person who laughed first waved his hand and said to Xia Chen, "Sit and talk."

Xia Chen nodded, with a calm attitude, sat next to the man, and thanked: "Thank you."

The man smiled slightly, and said, "Your arrogance is quite similar to your mother, not bad." The second lady is famous for her arrogance, but she is more coquettish than Xia Chen, that's why she dared to speak in the 90s To do something that no other woman dared to do, to resolutely divorce Xia Handong, and to take the two children abroad, how cool and unrestrained.But yes, the second lady has a good life. She came from a wealthy family and grew up spoiled since she was a child. During the Cultural Revolution, the whole family moved abroad and came back when things subsided. So it can be said that in this life, she has never suffered at all and was praised. The person in the palm of my hand will marry a wealthy family even after growing up, so she doesn't have to worry about making a living, and her temperament is not comparable to that of women from ordinary families.

Xia Chen smiled lightly, with a polite and demeanor, "Thank you."

At this time, the man sitting in the middle waved to Chen Ran and said, "You sit down too."

Chen Ran nodded, and said to the man who smiled softly, "Second Uncle, Xia Chen will leave it to you."

Xia Chen was startled, it turned out that this person was Chen Ran's second uncle.

The second uncle nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Go."

Chen Ran nodded, and sat next to the man, with a respectful and close attitude, the two were like relatives, but if they were brothers, the man was a bit older, and if they were fathers, he was a little younger, so I don't know who they are what relationship.

The person who was making tea handed Xia Chen a cup of tea and said, "Come, have a taste."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, took it, and said, "Thank you."

The second uncle smiled and said, "This is Chen Zhengdao. If you are a media player, you can just call him Uncle Chen." He listened to Chen Ran and took good care of Xia Chen.

Xia Chen nodded, and said to Chen Zheng, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Chen Zhengdao smiled, pointed to the tea, "Drink and have a look."

Xia Chen nodded and drank it slowly, feeling the sweetness and fragrance in his mouth, smiled and said, "I don't know much about tea, I just think it's quite delicious."

Chen Zhengdao chuckled, poured another cup for Xia Chen, and said, "Just drink it if you like it."

At this time, the chess game over there was over, and one of them got up and sat next to Xia Chen, spinning two balls in his hand, and asked, "Which way are you planning to go?"

Xia Chen replied, "Sing."

The man nodded, and said a word.

The second uncle dutifully introduced, but his words were teasing, "This is Zhang Changping, who has opened several broken movie theaters, so don't pay him too much attention."

Xia Chen smiled lightly, and said to Zhang Changping, "Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Changping smiled, ate a mouthful of peanuts, and said, "Come find me when the movie is going to be made."

With sharp ears, Chen Ran heard it immediately, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, Xia Chen sings, you should give me this opportunity, I happen to have a few movies going on right now."

Zhang Changping snorted softly, threw the peanut shells on the table, "No one dares to stuff me."

Chen Ran smiled and flattered him: "How dare you, it's Mi Lan's movie, and I will go abroad to participate in the competition, so I have to rely on Uncle Zhang to guide me."

Hearing Mi Lan's name, Zhang Changping smiled and said, "That's about the same."

Chen Ran nodded and said, "It's natural."

While talking, the second uncle patted Xia Chen on the shoulder and asked, "Can you play chess?"

Xia Chen nodded, and said, "Knowing how to walk is not considered good at going down."

The second uncle smiled, pointed to the person who had been sitting by the chess, and said, "That's Zhao Ming, a stinky chess player. He usually has no hobbies but likes to play two games of chess. You can play two games with him."

Xia Chen knew that the second uncle wanted to help him, so even though he was not good at chess, he still made it. He walked up to Zhao Ming and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'm not good at chess, please forgive me."

Zhao Ming didn't raise his head until he saw someone approaching him, and said, "It's okay, I like what you said."

The second uncle laughed when he heard it, and joked, "You still think about it after how long it's been."

The others also laughed when they heard it, "That's right, that kid is right, he really knows how to play." "That's right, only that stinky chess piece is more serious."

After Zhao Ming heard this, he opened his eyes wide and said like a child who was eager to argue: "If you know the rules, you know the rules. He dares to say that you can do it!"

The others all smiled when they heard this, and said, "It's all right, I can't beat you, go play your chess, and let's drink tea."

Zhao Ming snorted, looked at Xia Chen, and said, "Play chess."

Xia Chen nodded and smiled lightly, feeling that Zhao Ming was like a child.

After a while, neither of them moved, Zhao Ming yelled, "Why don't you come down?"

Only then did Xia Chen come to his senses, and said, "Me first?"

Zhao Ming nodded, "Zhanhong does not take the lead, black moves first."

Xia Chen nodded, realizing that he was playing black chess, "Go here, go now." Saying this, Xia Chen picked up the cannon and went between the opponent's pawns.

Zhao Ming frowned slightly, but walked out without saying a word.

Now Xia Chen couldn't eat anymore, so he had to bring the other cannon out.

Zhao Ming shook his head and got out of the car.

Xia Chen stepped forward with his pawns, wanting to double-cannon, but before Xia Chen had time to deploy the chess, he was quickly generaled, and it was still a dead game.

Xia Chen watched for a long time, and the other party only used one army and one horse to eat him to death, leaving no room for him.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "I lost."

Zhao Ming nodded, and said in a disgusted tone, "Leave the car early, pass the road, don't shoot lightly!"

Xia Chen really doesn't know how to play chess very much, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm laughing."

Zhao Ming said: "I'm kidding! But you don't play chess well, but your chess skills are pretty good."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, a little shy.

The second uncle heard it, and said: "Could it be! You also have times to praise people."

Zhao Ming choked, "What a rare thing, what am I talking about! You old and cunning people are not good at chess!"

The second uncle heard it and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you, or I won't be able to go back today."

After Zhao Ming heard this, he stood up and wanted to continue arguing with his second uncle. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a male voice sounded probing, "President Meng? I'm Cai Chong."

The man who asked Chen Ran to sit there just now raised his head, looked outside the door, frowned slightly, and said, "Come in."

Everyone looked over, a fat middle-aged man walked in, followed by a beautiful woman, Xia Chen looked, she had seen it before, but forgot the name, and danced tonight with.

Cai Chong smiled flatteringly at everyone, then walked to Meng Xuanlang's side, and said, "Mr. Meng."

Meng Xuanlang raised his head slightly, glanced at Cai Chong calmly, and said, "Sit down." Meng Xuanlang's tone was light and his movements were slow, but it just gave people a sense of pressure. Pressure to be on top.

Cai Chong shuddered in his heart, and sat down slowly, but he didn't dare to sit all the way, so he leaned half of his buttocks on the chair, looking quite unconfident.

When the woman saw it, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she was helpless, there was no way, this man was so devoted to him, and he was willing to spend money to praise her, that's why she was willing to stay by his side.

As soon as Cai Chong sat down, there was no one standing in the room, except for the woman who followed, but Meng Xuanlang didn't speak, and Cai Chong didn't dare to ask the woman to sit down.What's more, this room is not small, and there are many seats, and it can seat nine or ten people, but with Xia Chen, Chen Ran and Cai Chong who just arrived, there are eight people at once, plus everyone They didn't sit next to each other, so there was no place for him, Cai Chong would never dare to ask these people to squeeze him, so he could only let the woman stand awkwardly.

Although the woman herself felt embarrassed and angry, she didn't dare to say it out. She could only stand there obediently, but her eyes were still watching. Every time she saw someone, she felt startled.

Not to mention Meng Xuanlang, Huatian's behind-the-scenes boss, even Chen Zhengdao, a media tycoon, is also there, as well as the world-renowned fashion designer Zhao Ming, and the film emperor Zhang Changping. Zhang Changping owns thousands of movie theaters, distributed There are his movie theaters all over the country, even abroad, and the movies released in China have to go through his hands. The name of the movie emperor is not called for nothing.

However, the woman looked at Xia Chen, who was sitting there calmly, drinking tea from time to time, or talking to the people around him.Seeing the woman, she frowned slightly. He had seen this boy, the one who sang with Tao Xingzhi. At first he was a little surprised that a newcomer who hadn't made his debut actually cooperated with Tao Xingzhi, and it was the finale. Now it seems , this young man is unusual.

Xia Chen saw the woman's gaze. Although he didn't recognize her, he had met her a few times. Xia Chen nodded slightly and smiled.

The woman was startled, and then smiled, but Xia Chen didn't see the second uncle talking in his ear, and he turned his head to listen, but he didn't see the woman's expression.

"You know that woman?"

Shaking her head, Xia Chen said, "I've seen it a few times backstage."

The second uncle nodded and said, "Less contact."

Xia Chen smiled and didn't say yes or no.

The second uncle looked at it with a smile, and said, "Just like your mother, she has a lot of ideas."

Embarrassed, Xia Chen lowered her head and smiled.

The second uncle didn't say anything more. It's a good thing for young people to have their own ideas. It's normal for the old people to keep talking. If you suffer a few times, you'll know it. It's useless to talk.

Cai Chong looked at Meng Xuanlang flatteringly, and said, "I heard that you are here, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be here."

Meng Xuanlang smiled lightly, and asked: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Cai Chong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "It's nothing serious, I just heard that Huatian is going to make a movie, and I plan to invest and make some money with you."

Meng Xuanlang glanced at Cai Chong lightly, and Cai Chong was terrified by just such a glance.

"A movie can only earn tens of millions at most. Why is Mr. Cai interested in earning such a small amount of money?"

Cai Chonghan was like rain, and tugged at the standing woman, "Then I'll just say it, see if there is any suitable role for Yanran."

Seeing that she was mentioned, Yan Ran revealed a gentle and beautiful smile, looked at Meng Xuanlang, and said, "Mr. Meng."

When Yan Ran mentioned me, someone gave a soft smile, which was different from the smile when Xia Chen came in, this time it was an obvious sneer.

Xia Chen looked at Zhao Ming, and it was Zhao Ming who laughed.

Zhao Ming was very childish, and he was not afraid of being overheard, so he said to his second uncle, "I got it from Ge Ji before, but this time I'm looking for Lao Meng, and I don't care about his acting skills, just keep going."

Everyone laughed and said nothing.

Yanran naturally heard it too, with an embarrassed smile on her face, and she couldn't get angry, so she just continued to stand there. She had already sat down and prepared herself mentally before she came, but there was no way, if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, she had to have a She is not good at acting, so she can only rely on big directors, high investment and big lineups to show herself.

Meng Xuanlang smiled lightly, condescending, "When the time comes, you can ask Chen Ran to fill out a form and try it out. If Ge Ji agrees, I have no objection."

Cai Chong twitched his lips and smiled, and said, "Yanran went to Director Chen's place before, but Yanran was not feeling well that day, so she didn't perform very well, and Director Chen was not very satisfied."

Meng Xuanlang listened, nodded, and said lightly: "That's nothing to do. I can't decide this matter. I'm an investor. Ge Ji is the decision maker. He has the final say."

When it comes to this point, Cai Chong can't go on talking, so he can only laugh along with embarrassment.

Seeing this situation, Yan Ran was extremely annoyed, she lost her wife and lost her army, she didn't get the play, and she had to stay with Cai Chong today.And she also believed Cai Chong's drunken rhetoric, thinking that he could really win a role, and vowed to tell them that she was definitely in the crew, now it's all right, it's a big joke!

Seeing that Cai Chong was silent, Meng Xuanlang glanced at him sideways and asked, "Is there anything else Mr. Cai wants to do?"

Cai Chong understood immediately after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Meng Xuanlang nodded and said, "En."

Cai Chong pulled Yan Ran away, passed by everyone smiling and waved, passed by Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming suddenly said, "Don't you consider changing your name?"

Cai Chong stopped, startled for a moment, and then realized that Zhao Ming was looking at Yan Ran.

Yan Ran smiled, thinking that Zhao Ming was planning to help her, and flatteringly said, "What good advice does Mr. Zhao have?"

Zhao Ming blinked, waved his hands, and said, "You'd better go."

When Yan Ran's face changed, Cai Chong also frowned, and pulled Yan Ran away.

After the two left, the atmosphere in the room changed, becoming more comfortable and peaceful, without that repulsive atmosphere anymore.Xia Chen felt deeply.When he was studying abroad, he was often excluded by foreigners, so he was very sensitive to this atmosphere.

The second uncle looked at Zhao Ming and said, "Why are you so polite to ask someone to change your name?"

Everyone also looked over curiously.

Zhao Ming sighed, looking quite sad, and said: "The name is good, but someone ruined it."

Everyone burst into laughter, Chen Zhengdao looked at Zhao Ming, and said, "Your temperament is exactly the same as when you were a child, and you really have grown back from living!"

Zhao Ming said the same thing as Chen Zheng, and ignored him, with a sad expression on his face.

Chen Zhengdao smiled, walked up to Zhao Ming, and said, "Play two games of chess, be happy."

Only then did Zhao Ming pay attention to Chen Zheng, lowered his head, "Yes."

The two started to play, and the others continued to talk and drink tea.

Zhang Changping looked at Xia Chen and asked, "Bi Zhu is still abroad?"

The second uncle heard this, and looked at Zhang Changping quite playfully.

Xia Chen nodded and said, "Well, go abroad with my third brother."

Zhang Changping narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was remembering, and said, "How many children are there in your family?"

Xia Chen replied, "Five."

Zhang Changping smiled after hearing this, and said: "Xia Handong is really romantic, but this life is not worth living."

Xia Chen nodded, his father was indeed romantic, there were five children, one father and four mothers.

Zhang Changping continued to ask: "Who is in charge of your family now?"

Xia Chen said, "My elder brother."

Zhang Changping frowned slightly. The eldest son of Xia should be Xia Chen's third brother, and he was the one who inherited the family business. How could it be Xia Kui?

"Why doesn't your third brother inherit the family business?"

Xia Chen was a little surprised. Zhang Changping seemed to be quite interested in his family's affairs, and said, "Third brother likes painting, but not interested in family business."

Zhang Changping nodded, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Has your mother remarried?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked over.

Xia Chen was also taken aback. He said why Zhang Changping cared so much about his family affairs. It turned out to be because of his mother. Xia Chen was a little bit dumbfounded. However, it has been eight years since his mother and father divorced. It would be nice if he could find another family.

"No, but my mother has lived abroad for a long time, and I'm afraid she won't return to China in the future."

Zhang Changping lowered his head, sighed, and said softly, "Overseas, abroad, and abroad again!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Second Uncle patted Zhang Changping on the shoulder, and said: "Second Miss said that one is the same, if you don't want it, you don't want it, you better don't worry about it, and how many years have passed, you, hey."

Zhang Changping snorted lightly and did not speak again.

Xia Chen was a little surprised, but she didn't know that her mother had known them for many years.

"Second uncle, are you and my mother old acquaintances?"

The second uncle shook his head, and said, "I don't care if I'm an old acquaintance, but you Uncle Zhang and Uncle Chen do. In the past, the three of them and the Lu family were well-known big families in this city. On weekdays, four The family contacts are quite close, so we got acquainted with each other. Our family and the Zhao family only got to know each other later."

Everyone like them has a deep concept of family status for centuries, and the people they usually come and go with are of similar family status. Even if they go to a new place, they will quickly find people of similar family status to communicate with, just like a group.

Xia Chen nodded, understood.

"Ring ring ring---"

Suddenly, Xia Chen's cell phone rang, Xia Chen took out the cell phone, it was the elder brother calling.

Xia Chen looked at the crowd and said, "Pick up the phone."

Everyone nodded, then played chess and drank tea.

Xia Chen walked to the corner and said, "Hey, brother."

Xia Kui's steady voice came and asked, "Where have you been?"

Xia Chen said: "Chen Ran brought me to meet some seniors."

Xia Kui felt relieved and said, "Well, call me if you're fine."

Xia Chen smiled and said, "I'm already this old, so there's nothing to worry about."

Xia Kui's tone was full of doting, "How big is it, it's not even twenty."

Xia Chen hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll call you when I'm well, goodbye."

Xia Kui said, "Okay, bye."

Xia Chen hung up the phone and went back to his seat. Zhang Changping had just faintly heard the word "big brother" and asked, "Your big brother?"

Xia Chen nodded: "Yeah."

Zhang Changping asked, "How does your elder brother treat you?"

Xia Chen smiled, and found this Zhang Ping very interesting. He liked his mother, and even cared about him.

"Very well, my elder brother is very kind to me."

Chen Ran also got involved when he heard it, saying: "When Xia Chen was about to sign a contract with Hua Tian, ​​his elder brother personally checked it."

Zhang Changping nodded and said, "That's okay."

Everyone laughed and joked: "Old Zhang, why don't you just recognize him as a godson!"

Xia Chen was a little shy and embarrassed, and kept shaking her head.

Zhang Changping did the same, shaking his head, frowning slightly, "This is successful!"

When everyone saw it, they stopped joking about it and talked about other things.

Meng Xuanlang looked at Xia Chen and asked, "Are you ready for your debut?"

Xia Chen nodded, facing Meng Xuanlang, he couldn't help but straighten his back, and replied earnestly, "There will be a press conference the day after tomorrow."

Meng Xuanlang nodded, looked at Chen Zhengdao, and said, "Zhengdao, watch more then."

Chen Zhengdao shook his head, Meng Xuanlang's expression changed, and he said, "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhengdao made a slow move, and said, "It's not a big deal, that Yu Wanyi from your company was photographed having sex with an old man."

Chen Ran's expression changed, and he frowned.

Xia Chen was shocked when he heard that, Yu Wanyi? !

Meng Xuanlang glanced at Chen Ran, and Chen Ran smiled wryly.

This is really not a big deal, if it is, Chen Zhengdao is a family friend with their Chen family after all, and Chen Zhengdao will definitely notify in advance, but now it is just a female star's private matter, it is not a big deal for Chen Zhengdao and Meng Xuanlang.

This is undoubtedly bad news for Xia Chen who debuted the day after tomorrow.All the media will pay attention to this matter tomorrow, and when Xia Chen is arranged to debut, everyone will only think that this is diverting attention and will not pay more attention to Xia Chen.

Chen Zhengdao went on to say: "This magazine is already being printed, and the online version is also being prepared. Everyone will know about it tomorrow morning."

Meng Xuanlang frowned, this matter is a foregone conclusion, it is impossible for Chen Zhengdao to withdraw all the news, it would be a huge loss, and it is already early in the morning, even if it is revised and remade, it is too late.

"Also." Chen Zhengdao looked at Meng Xuanlang, and said, "Xingyun's company also arranged for a newcomer to debut, and they put in all their efforts to praise him again, and he also sings, about the same age as Xia Chen."

Chen Ran's expression turned even worse.

Meng Xuanlang looked at Chen Ran, angrily, "Is that what you do?"

Chen Ran lowered his head and said seriously: "I will handle this matter well and minimize the impact as much as possible." It was his investigation that was not good, so Xing Yun didn't know that he had hidden a card.

Now I can only think of a way to remedy it.

Meng Xuanlang nodded, stood up, and said, "I'll go back first."

Chen Ran nodded and sent the man to the door.

Seeing that Meng Xuanlang had left, the rest of the people saw that it was not too early, and they were about to leave.

Before leaving, Zhang Changping said to Xia Chen: "If you want to act, tell Chen Ran, I will prepare it for you here."

Xia Chen nodded gratefully, "Thank you."

Zhang Changping nodded, glanced at Xia Chen, and said, "Look carefully, you are still more like Bizhu."

Xia Chen rubbed her head, smiled, and said, "My father said that too."

Zhang Changping smiled after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving first, we'll get together another day."

"Yes." Xia Chen waved his hand, "Goodbye."

Everyone left, only Chen Ran and Xia Chen were left. Chen Ran frowned in a low mood. He took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Find Yu Wanyi and ask her to come and see her right away!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Ran hung up the phone, his face full of anger.

Xia Chen patted Chen Ran and comforted him, "Will there be any impact on the postponement of the debut?"

Chen Ran frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "If it's just Yu Wanyi, it's okay to postpone it. The most important thing is that there is Xingyun! There are only so many people's attention. If you turn your attention to Xingyun's newcomer, then the rest If you can notice your body, you will lose a lot, just like giving half of an apple to others, you will lose yourself."
