Chapter 214: I Really am a Fisherman

Translator: Aristophaneso

Ren Penghui and Yan Zekun were also brothers in arms. After graduation, they’d headed to Beijing and were lucky enough to somehow secure roles, and since then they’ve gradually accrued fame. Of course, their fame was not anything on the level of huge stardom, and they could be described as B string celebrities. Chu Xian had seen them in some somewhat popular movies, and their acting was decent. Both actors were typical tough manly men, and since this particular movie would be filled with many fighting scenes, Dean Ke had invited these two, and both would play male supporting actors. Since Ren Penghui’s physique was quite like Chu Xian’s, he would play his role in the movie.

Yan Wenwen was unquestionable the female lead of the film.

“Hello, hello!” The fact that Chu Xian recognized them immediately clearly made a good impression.

“Come, Chu Xian. This is Assistant Director Ma, and these others you also know!” Duan Ke continued to introduce, but when he spoke the words Assistant Director his expression was unnatural.

Chu Xian smiled cheerfully. All he knew was that Duan Ke had said he would find a rather famous director to come direct with him, and it looked like he had not been able to secure that.

But Chu Xian did not really care who the director was. He thought that there was a lot of evidence that famous directors did not necessarily direct movies that sold tickets, and had no doubt that an up and coming director might be able to do what a more established one could not.

“Right, Big Brother Duan, who is our lead?” Chu Xian asked as he sat down on the couch.

“It’s Feng Huo. He’s quite popular right now, and it was not easy for me to get him to join us!” Duan Ke smiled as he replied.

“Feng Huo?” Chu Xian was quite surprised. Feng Huo was an incredibly popular young actor right now, and both online and on television it was very common to see his face.

“Brother Duan, you’ve really worked hard this time. All the people you’ve found are popular celebrities.” Chu Xian said with a chuckle.

Just Feng Huo and Yan Wenwen alone cost over ten million rmb. Many film budgets were topped by the expensive salaries of the actors and actresses.

“Haha, I’ve done my best!” Duan Ke smiled. “Brother Chu Xian, I still remember your ten million rmb investment. Rest assured, I am confident we will earn back that capital!”

Chu XIan nodded and patted his shoulder. “Okay, I am also confident in you!”

“Chu Xian, you are an investor?” Yan Wenwen, Ren Penghui, Yan Zekun and some of the others were quite astonished when they heard this piece of news.

“En, Director Duan convinced to join this endeavor!” Chu Xian smiled at them. “Since you all are here in Hai Qing, I’ll show you around as a local and take care of you all!”

“Good, good. We can take it easy and relax today. Tomorrow we’ll officially begin.” Duan Ke nodded happily.

“It’s only 1 pm right now. Do you all want to go out?” Chu Xian asked.

“Where can people like us go? Is there some sort of hidden or low key entertainment area?” Yan Wenwen asked with a somewhat bitter gaze.

“Eh, you’re right.” Chu Xian chuckled. There were also disadvantages to stardom. “There are a lot of fun places in Hai Qing, but there are quite a few people in most of those places. If you want to have some fun, I know a resort. It’s one of the higher quality places in Hai Qing, and has beaches, entertainment, and leisure activities.”

Duan Ke did not say much and turned to look at Yan Wenwen and the others. “What do you think? If you are up for it, we can go and play. Tomorrow, we’ll be out at sea for a longer time!”

“Of course, no problem.” Ren Penghui and Yan Zekun both nodded and turned to look at Yan Wenwen.

“Okay, I also love swimming and the beach!” Yan Wenwen smiled cheerfully and nodded.

“Alright, since we’re all looking forward to this, Chu Xian will be our host today. We can have a good time this afternoon, and tomorrow we will begin working!” Duan Ke laughed and turned to look at Chu Xian.

Duan Ke had also just started to build a relationship with these celebrities, and if he could build some rapport right now, it would be tremendously helpful when they were filming.

“Oh that’s right. Xiao Tiao, can you go call Feng Huo and ask him if he’s coming?” Duan Ke called to a young man on the side.

“Yes, Brother Duan!” The young man named Xiao Tiao nodded.

“I’ll go get us some cars!” Chu Xian said to Duan Ke, then called Old Huang.

Since there would be more and more mermen in the future, Chu Xian had decided to buy a couple of cars. Sword Two and the others learnt very quickly, and were also far better at controlling their bodies compared to humans. They’d only taken two days to learn how to drive, and then all Chu Xian had to do was use some money to get some driver’s licenses.

Very soon, Xiao Tiao returned with a young man in sunglasses and a middle-aged agent.

“Director Duan, where are we going to play? Is the fisherman here, ah, I’ve almost died of boredom today!” Feng Huo saw the gathered group and called over cheerfully.

Duan Ke was somewhat unhappy at Feng Huo’s words, but still lifted in response. “Come, Feng Huo, I’ll introduce you. This is my friend and collague, and one of the investors in this movie.”

“En?” Feng Huao looked at this handsome young man about his age and was confused. “You are the fisherman? I didn’t know you were also an investor in the movie. Hehe, how impressive, really impressive!”

Chu Xian frowned slightly and was somewhat unhappy. He ignored the actor and called out to the crowd. “Everyone, we’ll wait for ten minutes. The cars are almost here!”

“The cars aren’t here yet? Come on, I thought they were waitnig for us.”

As soon as Chu Xian finished speaking, Feng Huo shook his head and interjected. “I’ll call my friend over to pick me up. My friend is nearby. That’s right, where are we going? Give me the address and I’ll meet you there.”

As Feng Huo spoke and took out his phone, the agent beside him smiled apologetically to Duan Ke.

Duan Ke did not say a word, and just smiled and nodded.

Very quickly, a BMW 7 Series stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and a young man waved over to Feng Huo.

Feng Huo called back and turned to look at Yan Wenwen. “Wenwen, do you want to go together?”

“No, I’ll go with Director Dan and the others.” Yan Wenwen shook her head.

Feng Huo opened his mouth and then shook his head. “Alright, I’ll wait at the resort for you all.”

“A celebrity is actually this arrogant?” As Feng Huo walked over to the BMW, Chu Xian frowned a little and turned to Duan Ke.

Duan Ke laughed bitterly. “Not only is he a famous young actor, his family is also not simple. His father is a business man and has a lot of influence. He was awarded a medal and knighted by the Queen of England for Anglo-Chinese trade. He’s incredibly rich, and has incredible status.”

“Only this much and he’s so arrogant?” Chu Xian laughed disdainfully.

Duan Ke heard his words and couldn’t help but chuckle. From the moment he had met Chu Xian and seen his direct actions, he had known that Chu Xian could not be a simple man. Duan Ke even though that Chu Xian might have ties to the underworld.

But after the two of them became close, he felt that Chu Xian was a very good friend.

Otherwise he would not dare to build a relationship with Chu Xian.

And so, despite how incredible Chu Xian’s disdain was, Duan Ke did not think he was joking.

Although Chu Xian himself did not realize it, his character had also gradually changed. That young boy who doubted himself and was even somewhat cowardly and completely transformed into a strong, confident, and sweepingly commanding man.

After fighting with poachers, killing sharks, crashing into Japanese fishing ships, and killing people in Thailand, his mindset had gradually transformed.

If it had been an earlier him facing a matter like this one with Feng Huo, he could only have smiled and gritted his teeth, but with the current Chu Xian, his way of dealing with matters was completely different.

Yan Wenwen, Ren Penghui, Yan Zekun all heard Chu Xian’s words and were astonished, and strange emotions filled their eyes.

“The cars are here, let’s get going!” At that moment, Chu Xian saw the three Benz S600 driving over and called out to the others.

“Boss!” As Chu Xian and the others walked over, Old Huang, Sword Two and the others were already standing outside and calling out respectfully.

Chu Xian nodded and then called back to Duan Ke and the others. “These ones!”

The gathered people were somewhat stunned. The three Benz were not at all surprising, after all none of these people were ordinary salary workers, but the bald drivers were somewhat terrifying. If you looked just at their appearance, you would never expect them to be simple chauffeurs.

“En, en. Wenwen, come sit with us. Penghu, Zekun, you two can go in another one!” Duan Ke said.

The people nodded, and Yan Wenwen brought her agent and boarded the same car as Chu Xian and the others.

Yan Wenwen was a very curious girl, and ever since she’d laid eyes on Chu Xian had found him incredibly mysterious. She sat in the car and looked over, and she could not resist asking. “Chu Xian, what is it that you do?”

“En. I guess I’m a fisherman!” Chu Xian chuckled. “I also have an aquarium store and a goldfish store. If you’re interested, you can take a look and I’ll give you some.”

Chu Xian smiled as he spoke. Yan Wenwen always looked very beautiful on television, with her 165 cm height and here beautiful black hair split in the middle, highlighting her forehead, she looked like a goddess. Very few people could pull of this hairstyle.

And Yan Wenwen was even prettier in real life.

“You sell goldfish and aquariums?” Yan Wenwen looked at him in astonishment.

“What? Can I not? Haha, what is it you think I do?” Chu Xian laughed and looked over at Sword Two behind the wheel. “You don’t think I’m part of the triad do you?”

Yan Wenwen laughed somewhat awkwardly. “Your men are somewhat terrifying!”

Chu Xian laughed. “I really am a fisherman. These are the brothers that head out to sea with me.”

As they spoke, the car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Golden Dragon Resort.

“One of my friends owns this place. The environment is quite good!” Chu Xian exited the car and introduced the place.

The people nodded, and followed Chu Xian inside.

Golden Dragon Resort could be considered a high quality resort even in the national field. It was fully equipped with all the most modern amenities, and it was brand new. The environment was very nice.

Since the summer holiday had just ended, the resort was comparatively empty, with only between 80 and 100 guests currently at the resort.

“Let’s go find Feng Huo!” Duan Ke said.

Chu XIan nodded and agreed. Duan Ke made ap hone call, and very quickly they saw Feng Huo at the swimming pool, swimming with a group of four to five young men.

“Hey, Director, Wenwen, come swim!” Feng Huo saw them walking over and called out.
