Chapter 129: Chapter 129 getting drunk
One of them was director Gong, who was a famous Big Shot in the industry. The movies he had filmed had all been box office sales, and many of the actors he had selected had become popular with his movies.
Chi Luoxi was very happy. Director Gong’s assistant, Xiao Li, had called her and specially invited her out for dinner to discuss the filming.
This kind of mealtime was equivalent to an interview. Chi Yuexi understood that.
Now, when it came to acting and activities, many of them did not sit down for interviews in the office. Most of them were decided directly over a meal and tea.
Since it was a rare opportunity, Chi Luoxi attached great importance to this matter and specially dressed up.
She had changed into a V-neck Sleeveless Floral dress, and her hair was tied up. She looked generous and capable, and she even had on exquisite makeup.
These big-name directors had seen all kinds of actors. If they didn’t make it special, they might even leave an impression.
She didn’t know how many people she had invited for dinner tonight, but there might be a few other actors present. Chi Yuexi grabbed her handbag and took a taxi to the Golden Leaf hotel.
According to little li FA’s location, he was in Room 808 of the Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor.
Chi luexi arrived at the door and took a few deep breaths to adjust her state of mind. She tried not to be too nervous.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door. There was no response after a few knocks. Chi Yuexi increased her strength and was about to knock on the door again. To her surprise, the door opened directly from the inside.
The person who opened the door introduced herself as someone who was on the phone with her assistant, director Gong, Xiao Li.
“Hello, Mr. Li. I would like to ask if there will be many people eating tonight?”
Chi luexi thought that since they were still at the door, it would be easier for her to know more about him if she asked. Moreover, it would definitely be more casual if she asked Xiao Li directly.
“Not much. It’s not convenient to talk if there are too many. You know that our director Gong is usually very busy. Many famous actors are rushing to be in the movies he’s in.”
Chi Luoxi didn’t say anything else. Xiao Li was telling the truth. A great director never lacked outstanding actors.
If the conversation went well tonight and he had the chance, he could shoot a movie and his acting career would be more complete and comprehensive.
Chi luexi followed Xiao Li and entered the room. She realized that it was more like a suite than a large private room. She took a turn and arrived at the door.
This was Chi luexi’s first time meeting such a famous director alone and she was a little nervous. She tried her best to calm down and followed Xiao Li into the private room.
Chi leixi glanced over. Indeed, there were not many people. There were only two men in the room. The man with a slightly bald head and a lean figure should be director Gong. Chi leixi had seen him on television before.
A refined-looking young man was sitting next to director Gong. He was looking at director Gong respectfully as if he was listening to his superior’s instructions. He might be another assistant.
The two of them were talking when they turned around and stopped talking when they saw Chi Luoxi.
Assistant Xiao Li hurriedly walked up to director Gong and introduced him,”
“Director Gong, this is the actress, miss Chi Luoxi, whom we’re having an interview with tonight.”
“Miss Chi, this is our director Gong.”
Chi Luoxi stood at the door and bowed respectfully to director Gong. She greeted him politely,””Hello, director Gong! I’ve long heard of your great name!”
Director Gong’s eyes were sharp as he quickly sized Chi Luoxi up.
Having dealt with all kinds of beautiful female celebrities all day long, director Gong was already tired of those vulgar and gaudy female actors who tried to please him. When he happened to see an innocent-looking girl, his eyes lit up.
Director Gong had seen Chi Luoxi on television and felt that she was very different from her real life.
This pure and beautiful dress looked much better than the characters in movies. She was tall, had smooth skin, and had a distinctive face. Director Gong couldn’t help but be secretly happy.
Seeing Chi Luoxi walk in with a shy, innocent, and honest look, director Gong stood up with a smile.”
“Come, come, come and sit here, miss Chi Luoxi. You’re much more beautiful in person than on TV! Don’t be so formal, we’re all in the entertainment industry, and the director and the actor are family. Come and sit. ”
Just these few people? Chi luexi was a little worried.
It would be livelier with a few more people, and it would be a little awkward to talk with just a few people. After all, they were not familiar with each other.
“Have a seat. I’ll go and order.” Assistant Xiao Li echoed director Gong’s words and pulled out the chair beside him, gesturing for Chi luexi to sit down.
Chi leixi understood what Xiao Li meant. Of course, she knew the rules of the film industry. However, if the director went overboard, she would rather not take on the show than go against her principles.
With this thought in mind, Chi luexi was no longer worried. She knew that she had the right to make decisions regarding anything related to her.
When one was socializing outside, one sometimes needed to flatter, cater to, and put on an act. However, there was a limit to everything. It was a matter of principle that one could grasp.
Chi leixi smiled graciously and walked over to sit beside director Gong.
Director Gong smiled with satisfaction when he saw that Chi Luoxi was obedient and knew how to do it.
Chi luexi sat down and put her handbag aside. She looked at director Gong politely and said,”
“Director Gong is a busy man. I’m lucky to be able to have a meal with you today, so this meal is on me.”
“Miss Chi, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. This hotel is owned by a friend of mine. I can sign the bill. If you want to treat me, we’ll do it another time. Ah, we’ll talk about it another time.”
As the two of them were talking politely, the waiter served a few dishes and a bottle of wine.
Chi Luoxi usually drank a lot of red wine, but she had no say in accompanying her boss this time. She could only try her best to drink less and control her alcohol tolerance so as not to drink too much and delay things.
The hotel’s environment was elegant and high-end, and the dishes were also high-class. However, Chi Yuexi was not in the mood to carefully distinguish the taste.
All she wanted to do was to carefully accompany Mr. Gong and hope that he would settle the matter of filming the movie as soon as possible.
Chi luexi also knew the rules of drinking. After three rounds, she took the initiative to raise her glass, stood up, and looked at director Gong respectfully.
“Director Gong, this is Chi Luoxi’s first time eating and drinking with you. Thank you for your support. Let’s drink first!”
After saying that, Chi yaoxi lifted the wine glass and gulped it down in one go.
“Well done, miss Chi. I can tell from the way you’re drinking that you’re a heroine!”
Director Gong gave Chi luexi a thumbs up and patted her bare shoulder.
Chi Luoxi was rather disgusted by such intimate actions. As the two of them were not familiar with each other, physical contact would make her feel conflicted and disgusted.
However, on such an occasion, Chi Luoxi only felt a little disgusted. On the surface, she still laughed and did not show it.
Chi Luoxi had just sat down and had only taken a few bites when her assistant, Xiao Li, deliberately teased her,”
“Miss Chi, there’s a rule when it comes to toasting. You can’t just drink one glass. At least good things come in pairs!”
