"Xiaocui's boyfriend?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the atmosphere in the private room fell briefly silent, whether it was the directors or actors, they all turned to look at Producer Yang, with rather odd expressions on their faces!
They all knew what Producer Yang had in mind, and now with the sudden appearance of Xiaocui's boyfriend, it seemed Producer Yang's hopes were about to be dashed!
"Eh? Isn't he that guy from the other day?"
Just then, one of the actors got a clear look at Ye Feng's face and immediately expressed his surprise!
Following that remark, the rest of the directors and actors also recognized Ye Feng!
The last time they were shooting an outdoor scene in an alley, they had seen Ye Feng before. But back then, Ye Feng was dressed in plain mainland clothes, hardly noticeable. Now, Ye Feng was dressed in a well-fitting, handsome suit, and under the dim lighting of the private room, they almost didn't recognize him!
Remembering how Ye Feng had almost beaten Manager Wang's face to a pulp last time and single-handedly took down more than a dozen thugs, the directors and actors present were filled with awe!
Seeing their astonished expressions, Producer Yang's brows slightly furrowed. He hadn't been on set last time and hadn't met Ye Feng, he didn't recognize him and didn't know about Ye Feng's considerable skills!
Even though the other party was indeed Xiaocui's boyfriend, Producer Yang didn't care one bit!
"So, you're Xiaocui's boyfriend, eh! But I haven't heard Xiaocui mention you, do you know where this gentleman is employed?"
While saying this, Producer Yang looked Ye Feng up and down, with a tinge of a sycophantic smile!
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile, "I've only been in Hong Kong for a short time, I don't have a job yet!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Producer Yang's lips curved slightly upward, realizing he was dealing with an unemployed vagrant. With this in mind, he regarded Ye Feng even less:
"You're still young, it's alright not to have a job! Unlike us men with careers, faced with enormous daily pressure! Whether it's securing funds for the film crew or getting investors to invest, just dealing with those multimillion-dollar sums can drive one crazy!"
Producer Yang's words sounded like complaints, but in reality, he was showing off his successful career, his wealth, and his influence!
After boasting for a while, he then said:
"Xiaocui, come sit over here, let's have a good chat about the film crew business today!"
Producer Yang then called over to Xiaocui, but Xiaocui just shook her head:
"No need, I... I'll just sit with my boyfriend!"
With that, Xiaocui, her cheeks flushed, took Ye Feng by the hand and headed towards the couch!
Seeing the couple approaching, whether it was the directors or the actors, everyone got up to offer their seats, their expressions filled with respect toward Ye Feng!
Producer Yang was a bit surprised, but he assumed these people were giving up their seats out of respect for him, and didn't think much of it:
"Alright! Now that everyone is here, let's bring out the drinks. I'm paying today!"
At these words, the crew cheered joyfully, and after Ye Feng sat down, the corner of his mouth revealed a playful smile:
"Since Producer Yang is so generous, why not start with a few bottles of red wine to warm things up?"
Red wine?
Upon hearing this, the disdain was evident on Producer Yang's face, thinking him an unsophisticated bumpkin, clamoring for red wine as if he had never tasted it in his life!
However, the other party's lack of sophistication only highlighted his own lavishness. With a grand wave of his hand, he declared:
"Of course you can! Just order away, these are all trifles!"
For Producer Yang, a few bottles of red wine were nothing at all, and the small amount of money certainly didn't bother him!
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng gave a slight smile, called the waiter over, whispered something in his ear, and then returned to his seat!
"I ordered three bottles of red wine, not sure if that'll be enough?" Ye Feng said to everyone with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the venue was dumbfounded, each secretly scorning Ye Feng for his unsophistication!
With the director and the main creative team present, there were over a dozen people, how could three bottles of wine possibly suffice!
Producer Yang even curled his lip, his disdain for Ye Feng reaching its peak:
"Little brother, this must be your first time in such an upscale place! How could three bottles of wine be enough for us to drink? Have the waiter bring ten more! It's on me, no need for you to save me money!"
Upon hearing Producer Yang's lavish words, everyone seated was enthusiastic, all praising the magnanimity of Producer Yang!
Ye Feng also slapped his forehead and said in admiration:
"Producer Yang is really generous, it's my fault for being inexperienced! I'll have the waiter bring more right now!"
Saying this, Ye Feng called another waiter over, whispered a few words to them, and the person hurried away!
Soon, two waiters came in carrying thirteen bottles of red wine!
Producer Yang immediately picked up a bottle and looked at it, noticing it was all in French and seemed unfamiliar. Still, it didn't seem to be from a high-end winery. He said,
"I must say, little brother, you really lack exposure! What's there to savor in these small winery productions! If we are drinking, it should be from high-end wineries like Lafite. Drinking this kind of wine is just lowering our standards, isn't it?"
Mockingly, Producer Yang then turned to Xiao Cui:
"Xiao Cui, let your boyfriend get out more and see the world! Luckily, there are no outsiders here, or ordering this kind of low-grade wine would only be a laughing stock!"
Producer Yang was continuously undermining Ye Feng, mocking his taste and perspective, trying to diminish Ye Feng's image in Xiao Cui's eyes!
But just as he finished his piece, the waiter who brought the wine said weirdly:
"Ahem... Sir, this is indeed a dry red wine produced by Lafite Winery!"
Huh?
Producer Yang was taken aback, then asked incredulously, "Really? I've tried famous labels like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Lafite. This is the first time I've seen this one!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression became even stranger:
"Sir, the ones you mentioned are merely the most common beverages from Lafite Winery! However, these red wines are specially produced for the 600th anniversary of Lafite Winery, named after Mr. Segur who made Lafite famous internationally! Each bottle is priced at 120,000 yuan!"
Gasp!
The waiter's words instantly created a dead silence in the room. As everyone listened to the waiter, it was as if they were choked, their faces frozen stiff!
Gulp!
Everyone swallowed hard. Twelve thousand a bottle, meaning 1.56 million for thirteen bottles!
And their drama group was just a modest one, with a total investment of just over ten million yuan, and now, just the cost of the wine alone had taken up a tenth of the investment budget!
Thinking this, the director and actors at the venue all turned their gaze towards Producer Yang, whose face changed color from white to green, from green to purple, from purple to red, and then from red back to white!
In that moment, Producer Yang's face was like a rapidly changing mask, utterly comical!
