Chapter 414: Eating melons till he became dumb

It is not surprising that "Three Guns" was shortlisted for Berlin.

Ever since "Buried" failed to achieve any success in Berlin, Li Chen has never been to Berlin again.

Even though Berlin invited him many times, Li Chen declined.

Zhang Yimou has long been indifferent to this. Rather than saying that "Three Guns" was shortlisted for Berlin, it is better to say that Berlin's red carpet and attention require China's national master.

Zhang Yimou headed back to Li Chen's villa.

After getting off the car, Chen Ting felt more and more aggrieved and had even deeper resentment towards Zhang Weiping. He was determined to force the man to leave the vampire as soon as possible.

"Look at where Director Li lives. Our place is even smaller than his parking lot!"

Zhang Yimou neither refuted nor was surprised by the woman's words.

There is no essential difference between women and men.

Who doesn’t like houses and money?

Liu Yifei and Li Chen stood at the door, watching Zhang Yimou approaching from afar with a young woman following him.

Liu Yifei's smile remained unchanged, but her lips moved up and down: "Who is she? Director Zhang's daughter? Why has she changed?"

Although she has never seen Zhang Yimou's daughter, she has seen photos of Zhang Mo, who had just made her debut as an editor and subtitler for "Three Shots".

The ages match, but the looks aren't quite there.

"Don't talk nonsense, that's not Director Zhang's daughter, just follow my lead and call her that."

Li Chen was shocked. If Miss Liu mistook Chen Ting for Zhang Mo, Zhang Yimou's face would probably turn green on the spot.

Li Chen saw the two people slowly approaching and suddenly realized something.

It seems that Zhang Yimou has made up his mind to join me.

Liu Yifei was curious. From what her fiancé said, he knew the woman's identity.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei took the initiative to greet him: "Director Zhang, welcome."

"Director Zhang." Liu Yifei greeted Zhang Yimou with a smile on her face.

The two of them looked at Chen Ting at the same time.

Both parties nodded.

Zhang Yimou introduced them directly: "Li Chen, Yifei, let me introduce you, this is my wife Chen Ting."

Liu Yifei's Qi-cultivation skills are obviously not as good as Li Chen, a freak who has lived two lives.

There was a huge wave of shock in his heart, and the expression on his face showed it without any concealment.

She unconsciously turned her head to look at her fiancé, but Li Chen's expression didn't change at all.

She also took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Ting and said with a smile: "Welcome, Ms. Chen."

Liu Yifei was screaming in her heart: "Is he a human? How did he do that? The guy opposite is Zhang Yimou! Zhang Yimou!"

Chen Ting is one or two years older than Li Chen.

When Li Chen entered Beijing Film Academy, Chen Ting had already dropped out.

Not to mention that Liu Yifei was very excited.

Even Zhang Yimou, who was already over 50 years old, was shocked by Li Chen's performance.

He really is worthy of being a person valued by the higher-ups. His shrewdness and way of dealing with people are indeed extraordinary.

If it were someone else, even if they were better than Liu Yifei, they would not be like Li Chen who showed no emotional fluctuations at all.

The word "Ms. Chen" made Chen Ting feel relieved.

"Hello, Director Li, I have heard a lot about you."

Li Chen gently bumped into his dazed fiancée and said with a smile, "Don't stand at the door, let's go in and talk, please."

Liu Yifei finally came back to her senses: "Yes, please come in, Director Zhang, Ms. Chen."

Li Chen looked at his fiancée with amusement and approval in his heart. She reacted quickly enough.

What he got in return was a fierce glare from Miss Liu.

Such explosive news, once it breaks out.

It will definitely cause a huge earthquake in the entertainment industry. Compared with the marriage of her master Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ziyi's scandal is simply not worth mentioning.

I guess Miss Liu was shocked to the point of having experienced all the shocks she would ever have in her life today.

Especially when Zhang Yimou said that Chen Ting was already a mother of three children.

Miss Liu has lost the ability to think.

My head is buzzing.

All kinds of random thoughts in the little head.

This is too good at hiding things, this is too good at giving birth, it is true that old age is still strong
Miss Liu couldn't help but secretly glance at the man next to her.

But it made her ashamed again.

Li Chen still looked calm and composed, as if the sweet words he had said to her before, which were not love words but better than love words, really came true.

What does anyone else have to do with me except you?

Zhang Yimou himself felt embarrassed when talking about these things, and Chen Ting was even more tense.

Liu Yifei was too embarrassed to look at the old man and young wife opposite her, and just stared at her fiancé with her clear eyes.

"Xiaoting told me that since I have decided to join you, it is not good to hide this from you. After all, you are the boss." Zhang Yimou calmed down his awkward mood and became calm again.

Li Chen just listened quietly without expressing his opinion.

Chen Ting hurriedly said, "Director Li, my husband and I are worried that our family affairs will be exposed in the future and will affect the reputation of your company. So after thinking it over, we feel that we cannot hide it from you."

Li Chen nodded and smiled, "Ms. Chen is just like Director Zhang. Just call me Li Chen. There's no need to be so formal."

The more calm Li Chen acted, the more uneasy Lao Mouzi and his wife became.

It takes a very strong heart to sit in front of them without any hesitation. "I know the situation. Since we are going to be family soon, I will speak directly. Director Zhang and Ms. Chen, please don't be so formal."

Liu Yifei became completely mute and couldn't speak at all.

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "You are almost my boss, so you have to listen to me even if I am wrong."

Chen Ting also said: "Director Li, please don't call me Ms. Chen anymore, just call me by my name."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Director Zhang is a senior. It's disrespectful to call him by his name. You should just call him Ms. Chen."

"Let's not get hung up on the name. I have two personal suggestions."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "You said, Li Chen, I came here today just to hear your opinion."

Li Chen thought for a moment before saying, "First, the matter of the child cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it anymore."

"Like Ms. Chen just said, your child will soon be transferred to a public school, and his identity is a big problem. I suggest that you two get the certificate immediately, register your household registration first, and then pay the fine."

Li Chen's words directly hit Chen Ting's heart.

Chen Ting nodded hurriedly in response, almost crying.

Li Chen's next words made her even more grateful.

"I can help with that, but it's hard to hide it. After all, having more children than allowed is illegal."

With Li Chen's connections and financial resources in recent years, it would not be difficult to hide the fact of his marriage.

Han Yu, who just signed a contract with Shanghai Film Group and Yinghuang, has been secretly married for many years without anyone knowing.

It depends on how strong your relationship is.

But it is difficult to conceal the extra births.

Chen Ting stood up excitedly.

"Thank you Director Li, thank you Director Li."

Liu Yifei was completely stunned. A single sentence could make someone cry. Apart from her fiancé, probably no one else could do that.

Zhang Yimou pulled Chen Ting to sit down and comforted her, "Don't get excited, listen to Li Chen."

Chen Ting glared at Zhang Yimou and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"It's nothing to thank for. It's just a small thing."

"This is also for the sake of Zhang Weiping's breaking up. Zhang Weiping will make a fuss about this matter. Paying a fine will be a small matter, but Zhang Weiping's reputation will definitely be damaged."

"Besides, actively accepting a penalty and passively being punished are two different things."

"We took the initiative to admit this matter. We have the initiative. If it was exposed passively by others, it would be hard to say."

Zhang Yimou frowned slightly: "Are you saying that he will take the initiative to expose this matter?"

"No way? I've worked with him for so many years. Even if he doesn't care about the relationship, he should at least care about the money."

Liu Yifei also thought that it would not happen, and even Chen Ting felt that Li Chen was worrying too much.

"Director Zhang, you underestimate the complexity of human nature."

"Judging from your partner's consistent style, he is not a hypocrite, but a real villain."

"Without you, he won't be able to make any progress in the film and television industry."

"Do you think he can let you, a cash cow, leave him without a care in the world?"

This made Zhang Yimou silent.

Over the years, Zhang Weiping has been very greedy and has offended almost everyone.

Especially the unfair terms signed in "Curse of the Golden Flower", which is even more unfair than Farewell My Concubine.

As a result, very few people from the industry came to Zhang Yimou's premiere.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just suggesting that if you two simply want to have a secret marriage, then it's easier to do."

"But the fine has to be paid sooner or later. After all, the child can't be hidden."

Zhang Yimou and his wife looked at each other.

Everyone felt that what Li Chen said made sense. It is true that having more children than allowed cannot be concealed, but perhaps no one would pay attention if ordinary people broke the law.

If Zhang Yimou just ran a red light, he would probably make the headlines the next day.

What's more, it wasn't just one baby, but three.

By then, he, Lao Mouzi, will definitely become the topic of conversation and laughter for audiences across the country.

"As for the second point, Zhang Weiping owes you film remuneration. That's easy to handle. I suggest you take legal action to resolve it."

"You mean the lawsuit?"

"There is no other way except to go to court. You and the other two don't have to meet in court."

"Or do you think it's just a matter of moving your mouth, can you take it back?"

Before Zhang Yimou could say anything, Chen Ting said, "Director Li is right. If we could get it back, why would we have to wait so many years?"

Li Chen glanced at Chen Ting and thought to himself, this is another Chen Hong.

He glanced at Miss Liu beside him again, and it was just the pot calling the kettle black.

Who doesn't have tracheitis?

It seems that all big directors are like this.

Of course, the client Bald King is not among them.

Liu Yifei was sitting nearby and was devastated by what she heard.

The Zhang Yimou in front of him was even poorer than Zhang Hanyun under Li Chen.

If Zhang Hanyun hadn't joined her fiancé's company, the mortgage loan would have been enough to crush her.

But the distance between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Hanyun is probably not enough to describe even the distance from the Crystal Palace to the Guanghan Palace.

Is this still the national master who is as famous as her fiancé?
