Chapter 1189: Who Are We Meeting?
“Did the recording proceed smoothly?” Han Zhuoli took Lu Man’s luggage from her and held her hand.
“It went very smoothly. With Dad around, everyone was especially polite to us,” Lu Man said with a smile.
Han Zhuoli thought to himself, If I were there, those people would definitely have been even more polite.
They headed to the carpark and then sat in two separate cars.
Han Zhuoli said to Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei, “Dad, Mom, I’m bringing Lu Man along to meet some of my friends, so we won’t be heading home for dinner tonight.”
“Alright,” Xia Qingwei replied with a smile.
“Who are we meeting?” Lu Man asked Han Zhuoli in curiosity as she got into the car.
She already knew that group of Han Zhuoli’s close friends.
“Yan Zhiqing, Beicheng’s younger sister.” Han Zhuoli explained, “Previously, she had always been filming overseas, so I never had a chance to introduce you two to each other. She had just finished a shoot and came back, so Beicheng is planning to meet her. I remembered that both of you are actors, so I wanted to introduce you two to each other.”
Lu Man’s eyes lit up in surprise. “Yan Zhiqing!”
If she were to say who was the most successful artiste to make it internationally, Lu Man felt that it was definitely Yan Zhiqing.
Most of the media would say it was Cao Jingcheng, and that was because Cao Jingcheng had a lot of experience and had been working for many years in the international film scene.
However, he had at most been only a second or third male lead in films.
On the other hand, Yan Zhiqing was only in her fourth year of university right now and had too little experience in the film industry, so they wouldn’t consider her.
Yet, in fact, even if she had just entered the film industry, Yan Zhiqing had already starred in Anubis and was even the main female lead in it.
For a Chinese actor, this was a first.
Of course, one couldn’t deny the impact of Yan Zhiqing’s family on her career.
Probably because of Yan Zhiqing’s family, no matter how great her career was, many people were still rather biased against her.
They felt that it was only because of her family that she was able to achieve the success she had. It was all because of her family giving her all the support behind her back that she was able to receive everything without much effort.
Without the Yan Family, she never would have been able to get a shot at those shows.
Perhaps it was because they were unwilling to admit defeat, perhaps it was out of envy, or perhaps it was even purely because they wanted to stand out amongst the crowd, but those keyboard warriors who were so drunk on feeling like they were the only ones who were “woke” completely ignored Yan Zhiqing’s acting skills.
Lu Man had watched the first film of Yan Zhiqing’s, which had been given an award. She acted extremely well.
There was a type of actor who was as if they naturally born to be in this career. Their acting skills seemed to come naturally from within their bones. Even just a simple lifting of a hand was filled with drama.
Purely from their lines or aura, it was like one couldn’t really tell if they were acting.
However, when you compare it with others, they would easily beat down the other party.
Lu Man had watched Yan Zhiqing’s show before. She had always dreamed of being able to shoot something with her one day.
She never expected that she could actually meet Yan Zhiqing tonight.
While she still didn’t have a chance to film something with her, it was still very amazing that she could have an opportunity to get to know her first.
Han Zhuoli saw that Lu Man was filled with so much anticipation and excitement. Suddenly, he felt a little jealous.
When she saw him at the airport today, she wasn’t even this excited.
“You like Yan Zhiqing that much?” Han Zhuoli asked.
“I mainly just want to get to know her first. Right now, I don’t know many people in the same industry. Most of them are just acquaintances. If I could be friends with someone in the industry, that would be great,” Lu Man explained as she smiled.
“I knew that you admired her, so when I heard that she was coming back today, I told Beicheng that I’ll bring you along.” Han Zhuoli lifted his chin a little, trying to earn some credit.
“I know that you think about me the most.” Lu Man held his right hand, which didn’t have to hold on to the steering wheel.
“Zhiqing used to have a bit of a spoiled princess’ temper, but she’s still a good person inside, just a little stubborn, that’s all. However, something not too great happened to the Yan Family too, so she seemed to have grown up a little.” Han Zhuoli smiled. “If you got to know her a while before, you probably wouldn’t have liked her that much. But right now, she’s pretty nice.”
