Chapter 1161: Times have changed (5k! Asking for monthly votes!)

Zheng Baosen took out his cellphone, sent a message to someone, and then picked up his glass.

"It’s a rare opportunity, come on, let’s have a drink first."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Baosen brother."

Yang Ni was good with words.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

Zheng Baosen had an it’s-no-big-deal attitude, and at the same time motioned towards Pei Yunxi.

Pei Yunxi also picked up her glass.

Zheng Baosen was clearly a man who liked, no, loved a good drink, and drank a hearty sip, sighing with satisfaction and enjoyment.

"Mr. Zheng, can we start serving the dishes now?"

The waiter came in and asked.

"Wait a bit, someone hasn’t arrived yet."

Someone else?

Yang Ni, who also took a sip of the wine, put down her glass, turned her head, and asked, "Baosen brother, who else is coming?"

Zheng Baosen didn’t explain and put on a mysterious smile, "You’ll find out soon."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ni didn’t ask any further and had the waiter bring in a bottle of yogurt and placed it in front of Pei Yunxi.

"Yun Xi, I heard that ’That Blue’ has already grossed over ten billion worldwide? Tsk, you might be the youngest female actress to ever enter the ten-billion club, impressive indeed."

Zheng Baosen has spent his life making movies, and probably all his films combined haven’t reached such a box office total, but part of the reason is the limitation of the times, as well as the types of films.

Regardless of his reputation, it is undeniable that he was a representative figure of the Gangcheng film industry’s golden age.

"Yeah, Yun Xi might really set a record, not only unprecedented, but it seems the future newcomers might not catch up either. One movie has made it into the ten-billion-yuan club, and ’That Blue’ has only been released for half a month. With this momentum, there’s a good chance it could take the top spot in box office history."

Yang Ni followed with a sigh.

Currently, the highest box office record in the film history seems to be just over twenty billion, less than thirty billion US Dollars.

’That Blue’, which has been released for just over half a month, has already caught up to half of this record.

Although conventionally, after the first two weeks, the pace of box office growth tends to slow down, the performance of ’That Blue’ has been so fierce that some professional film critics have asserted that ’That Blue’ becoming number one in film history is a done deal.

The youngest female leading actress in film history at twenty-something.

This is even more insane than winning an Oscar.

"I heard that those foreigners were utterly stunned when they watched the movie. Yun Xi, you truly are the pride of our Chinese actors, haha."

As he spoke, Zheng Baosen raised his glass again, "Yang Ni, let’s toast to her together."

Yang Ni couldn’t refuse.

Pei Yunxi couldn’t refuse either.

"Mr. Zheng is too kind. I’m just doing what an actor should do. The film has achieved such good results thanks to every staff member involved in the shooting."

Zheng Baosen nodded vigorously, judging from the half-drunk bottle of liquor, it was clear that he could hold his drink.

"I agree with you. Making a movie is like building a precise machine; every link and part is important."

"Baosen brother, that’s a vivid analogy."

Yang Ni teased.

For a female star, the main task at the dinner table is to enliven the atmosphere, and she was quite adept at it.

"It’s vivid, haha, these are the insights I’ve gained from a lifetime of making movies. Back in our days, even extras put in a lot of effort. Some guys even risked their lives for the effect. But it’s not possible now. Those guys are old and can’t put in the same effort."

Speaking of the decline of local cinema, Zheng Baosen also felt a touch of melancholy and helplessness.

"Hey, Yang Ni, why haven’t you touched your drink yet?"

With composure and a charming smile, Yang Ni said, "Isn’t someone still on the way, Baosen brother? Let’s take our time with the drinks."

Zheng Baosen seemed quite satisfied with this response, and habitually narrowed his eyes and pointed meaningfully at Yang Ni.

"You’re considerate, right, let’s drink slowly, no rush hah."

His voice indeed had a unique flavor.

Zheng Baosen didn’t make it difficult for the two young people, but his own pace of drinking was still relatively fast. The dishes hadn’t been served yet, and his glass was already near empty.

Yang Ni, needing a favor, did the server’s job well and attentively continued pouring wine for him.

Zheng Baosen squinted his eyes, his gaze meandering down her enticing body curves.

The private room door was pushed open.

The waiter led someone in.

"Dongxu, you’re late. You have to take a penalty drink," said Zheng Baosen.

Just like Pei Yunxi, Yang Ni, who was pouring the wine, turned her head instinctively.

Upon seeing the person, Yang Ni was caught off guard, not expecting Zheng Baosen’s guest to be her ex-husband Wei Dongxu.

However, she didn’t show any reaction, withdrew her gaze, placed the bottle down after pouring the wine for Zheng Baosen.

The entering Wei Dongxu obviously also saw his ex-wife dutifully pouring wine for another man and also kept his composure, explaining to Zheng Baosen with a smile, "My daughter insisted on coming out with me, it took me a while to coax her."

Zheng Baosen smiled and gestured, "Come, have a seat."

Then, as the host, he naturally instructed the standing Yang Ni, "Pour one for Dongxu, too."

To be honest.

The atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward now.

But fortunately, none of those present were ordinary people. They had exceptional mental resilience and adaptability, and so Yang Ni poured the wine without any sign of discomfort into the glass handed to her by Zheng Baosen.

Zheng Baosen passed the glass back to Wei Dongxu.

"Although you have a reason, you still have to take the penalty. Half a glass, is that fine?"

Wei Dongxu was also quite generous, without saying much more, picked up the glass and downed the drink.
