Chapter 513 There Is an Acquaintance in the Photo

Akina Nakamori stayed in the studio until nearly twelve o'clock before leaving. After she left, Zhou Yan did not leave in a hurry, but went to Building 3 to develop the photos in the camera.

The film inside only took a total of twenty-two photos. The first fifteen were all taken at the party, nothing special, not even Zhou Yan was taken.

The other four photos were taken from the main road. Judging from the buildings appearing in them, they should have been taken near the CCTV building. There is nothing worthy of attention in these photos, not even a few people appear.

But the remaining three photos made Zhou Yan narrow his eyes.

All three photos capture a scene of a man and a woman hugging each other.

Because of the angle, the woman cannot be seen in any of the three photos, and the man cannot see his entire face, only half of his profile.

Seeing this side face, Zhou Yan felt a little familiar.

He soon remembered that this profile looked a lot like Huang Hexiang.

Huang Hexiang is Gong Li's husband. They have been married for less than a year, but they have not held a banquet yet.

Zhou Yan was also not familiar with Huang Hexiang, so he couldn't determine that the person in the photo was Huang Hexiang based on a profile picture.

The location where the photo was taken is unknown, but it looks like it should be Yanjing. The house in the upper left corner is of Yanjing architectural style, and it cannot be Xiangjiang anyway.

The time should be very recent.

In the photo, Huang Hexiang and the woman are both wearing winter clothes, which matches the current season.

Besides, these photos and the photos taken today are all on the same roll, so they are definitely not too far apart in time. It is normal for a tabloid reporter like Zhu Songming to consume several rolls of film every day.

It stands to reason that the possibility of photographing Huang Hexiang in Yanjing is relatively small.

Huang Hexiang is a native of Shicheng. He is engaged in the tobacco business and usually spends a long time in Xiangjiang.

How could he appear in Yanjing and be photographed by Zhu Songming?

If it was really Huang Hexiang, Zhou Yan would be really difficult to deal with.

Although the woman's appearance was not visible in the photo, Zhou Yan was certain that she was not Gong Li. There was a huge difference in stature between her and Gong Li.

It's really Huang Hexiang, and the photos were taken recently, which means Huang Hexiang is having an extramarital affair.

But it was hard for Zhou Yan to tell Gong Li about this kind of thing.

It would be fine if Gong Li divorced Huang Hexiang decisively after knowing this.

But if Gong Li not only didn't divorce after learning about this, but also went to quarrel with Huang Hexiang, then Zhou Yan would lose Gong Li as a friend.

Zhou Yan has seen many such situations in reality.

Zhou Yan even had a dark thought, that is, Gong Li may not have known about Huang Hexiang's extramarital affair, but she just didn't expose it.

There are many situations where couples turn a blind eye, especially a combination like Gong Li and Huang Hexiang, an actor and a businessman.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan put the photo away. He decided not to tell Gong Li about it and wait until tomorrow to find out more about it before making any plans.

Mainly, he still regards Gong Li as a friend. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't care at all.

Anyway, Gong Li also helped him a lot when he was on the set of "Raise the Red Lantern".

I still hope this person is not Huang Hexiang.

However, the more he looked at this profile, the more he felt like it.

…

The next morning, Zhou Yan called Gong Li.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he called Gong Li Yanjing's home phone number. Unexpectedly, the call was actually connected.

"Hello, who are you?" came Gong Li's lazy voice, who must have just woken up.

"I, Zhou Yan, Sister Li."

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice, Gong Li laughed, "Brother, you are so well-informed. You already knew it just two days after I came back."

Zhou Yan also laughed, "I'm still not well-informed, otherwise I should have known when you just arrived in Yanjing. Sister Li, when did you return to Yanjing?"

"I've been back to my hometown for a few days. I just came to Yanjing the day before yesterday. I was thinking about asking if you were in Yanjing and hanging out with you. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call. Give me a call at this time. What's the matter? Something?"

Gong Li is from Quancheng and often goes back when she is not filming.

"Sister Li, will you stay in your hometown for the New Year?"

"This year is different. I can't celebrate the New Year in my hometown, so I went back to see it before the New Year."

Gong Li is now married to Huang Hexiang. Naturally, she will go to Lion City or Xiangjiang to celebrate the New Year. It is impossible to stay at her parents' home to celebrate the New Year.

"Oh, is my brother-in-law going back with you this time?"

"He went back, but he only stayed in Quancheng for one day. There was business in Yanjing, so he came over in advance to handle it."

Hearing Gong Li say this, Zhou Yan felt something bad in his heart.

It sounds like the man in the photo is probably Huang Hexiang.

Zhu Songming is really good at taking pictures, and he was able to take pictures of Huang Hexiang.

An ordinary tabloid reporter might not be able to recognize Huang Hexiang.

Zhou Yan smiled and asked, "When will you serve the wine? I'm still waiting to drink your wedding wine."

Gong Li and Huang Hexiang did not hold a banquet, but Gong Li had told Zhou Yan before that they were planning to set up a few more tables later and invite familiar friends to attend.

"It depends on the situation, probably next year. Haha, I want to ask you, when can I drink your wedding wine? Are you not young this year?"

"Twenty-six, it's still early."

"Oh, you're only twenty-six."

Although she had always called Zhou Yan little brother, Gong Li was still very emotional when she heard that Zhou Yan was only twenty-six.

All in all, they have known each other for six or seven years.

After such a long time, Zhou Yan is only 26, which is about the same age as when she was filming "Raise the Red Lantern".

In the past few years, Zhou Yan has developed really fast and has become a great director.

Suddenly, Gong Li's eyes flashed to the scene of Zhou Yan standing at the door of Qiao's courtyard with a bag of sunflower seeds. At that time, Zhou Yan was a somewhat mature and sunny boy who didn't know much about acting. Bring her with you.

"Although you are only twenty-six, you still need to get married early. As for the wedding banquet, you are definitely indispensable. I'm afraid that a great director like you won't have time to come."

"As long as it's not a big deal, sister Li, if you invite me to a wedding banquet, I will definitely be there."

"I remember what you said. In fact, I have a good time. I haven't worked much in the past two years. However, your brother-in-law is quite busy at work, and we rarely see each other." At this point, Gong Li smiled again. Get up, "He did well this time. He stayed with me for such a long time and made my mother very happy."

Gong Li's father passed away the year before last, so now Gong Li is very concerned about her mother's feelings.

She was even able to marry Huang Hexiang because of her mother, to whom she had promised to get married before she was thirty.

It was Zhang Yimou who couldn't give her a promise, so she turned to someone else and got married in a hurry.

Hearing what Gong Li said, Zhou Yan decided not to tell anyone about the photos for the time being. He just smiled and invited Gong Li, "Sister Li, do you have time today? Come to my studio to play for a while?"

"Okay." Gong Li immediately agreed, "I haven't been to your studio yet. I just happened to go there today for a stroll. I'm going to wash up now and go there right away..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Yan heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone, "Who is it?"

"Zhou Yan, he knew that I came to Yanjing today and invited me to sit in his studio."

Hearing Gong Li talking about Zhou Yan, Huang Hexiang greeted the phone with a smile, "Hello, Director Zhou."

"Hello, Mr. Huang." Zhou Yan did not call his brother-in-law, only Mr. Huang.

"I wonder where Director Zhou's studio is. Do I have the honor to visit it?"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's a great honor that Mr. Huang is coming. My studio is right next to the North Third Ring Road. It used to be the old state-owned electronics factory. Sister Li should know the location."

"Well, I know it's there, and it's easy for us to go there."

"Are you coming over in the morning?"

"We'll be there soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you two here."

After hanging up the phone, Gong Li looked at Huang Hexiang curiously, "Why are you interested in meeting Zhou Yan with me today?"

Although Huang Hexiang didn't say it explicitly, Gong Li could feel that Huang Hexiang was not very interested in people in the entertainment industry.

Obviously he was able to be with Gong Li because of Gong Li's celebrity status, but after getting married, Huang Hexiang was a little reluctant to have Gong Li have too much contact with people in the entertainment industry.

Normally, when Gong Li wants to meet her friends in the entertainment industry, Huang Hexiang would not take the initiative to join her.

Today was unusual. He actually said he wanted to go to Zhou Yan's studio.

"Zhou Yan is a great director and musician. I am also very interested in him. Have you been familiar with him before?"

Huang Hexiang only knew that Gong Li and Zhou Yan knew each other, but he didn't expect that they had a good relationship.

"He's familiar. I usually call him my little brother. When he played Chen Feipu, we had a scene opposite each other. During that time, I practiced with him for a long time. Later, when we were filming "Farewell My Concubine", we also worked together."

"That's right." Huang Hexiang nodded, "I didn't expect you two to be so familiar."

"There's a lot you don't know. This little brother of mine is very interesting. I'll know when I see you soon."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

…

It was just half past ten when Gong Li and Huang Hexiang arrived at Zhou Yan's studio.

After meeting, Zhou Yan took the initiative to shake hands with Huang Hexiang and said, "Mr. Huang, I have admired you for a long time."

"Director Zhou, you're welcome."

When Zhou Yan shook hands with Huang Hexiang, he was also observing Huang Hexiang's face.

The shape of the face is secondary, the main thing is the glasses Huang Hexiang wears.

In the photo, although it is from the side, you can see that the man is wearing a pair of gold thin-framed round glasses, and the glasses Huang Hexiang is wearing today are gold-colored thin-framed round glasses.

Now Zhou Yan can basically conclude that the person in the photo is Huang Hexiang.

I just don’t know who the woman Huang Hexiang is holding is also a female star in the entertainment industry?

After asking the two of them to sit down, Zhou Yan personally poured them two cups of tea, and then he sat across from them holding the teacup.

"Sister Li, Mr. Huang, how long do you plan to stay in Yanjing?"

"We are going to wait until Saturday to go to the Lion City." Gong Li said.

Zhou Yan nodded, "I have to rush back to celebrate the New Year."

"Yes." Huang Hexiang looked around Zhou Yan's office, and then asked with a smile, "Is the entire electronics factory your place now?"

"Well, all the employees of the electronics factory have moved out some time ago."

Gong Li exclaimed, "We just took a look down there. This electronics factory is quite large and has many buildings. It would be incredible if it were developed."

"Only three or four buildings are currently in use, and no major renovations have been carried out. If I had known you were coming in advance, I would have invited you to come to the party last night."

"What party?" Gong Li asked.

"It's our studio's annual meeting. Most of them are our studio's own programs, small and small."

"Don't be modest. Your studio can produce a perfect concert with just one orchestra. How could it be a small show? If I had known, I would have contacted you in advance. It's a pity that I missed such a good concert." Party. You too, even if you don’t know I’m in Yanjing, you should tell us in advance.”

"I was afraid that you would be busy, so many people didn't say anything, and if I shouted too much, I wouldn't be able to sit here."

"I don't care about others. Anyway, you must call me next time."

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Definitely."

The subsequent chat was basically between Zhou Yan and Gong Li, while Huang Hexiang just sat next to him with a smile and rarely spoke.

Zhou Yan and Gong Li were reminiscing about old times, and they basically talked about things related to movies. Huang Hexiang didn't understand much, and even if they sometimes interjected a few words, they couldn't get to the point.

But when it came to Zhou Yan filming "Space Traveler" in Hong Kong, Huang Hexiang was very enthusiastic and asked Zhou Yan a lot about the filming situation in Hong Kong at that time.

Then Huang Hexiang naturally brought the topic to the return of Xiangjiang this year.

Zhou Yan didn't know if it was an illusion, but Huang Hexiang seemed to be inquiring about information from him.

This made Zhou Yan feel strange. Why did Huang Hexiang want to inquire about information from him?

In other words, why did Huang Hexiang think he could get information from him?

Did Huang Hexiang simply think that since he lived in Yanjing and was at the feet of the emperor, he should be able to hear some news?

Or does Huang Hexiang know something about his family background?

The key is his background, Gong Li doesn't even know.

Zhou Yan avoided all inquiries from Huang Hexiang and did not make any response.

Not only was Huang Hexiang not annoyed that he didn't get any news from Zhou Yan, but he was very happy.

Because he came to the conclusion from Zhou Yan's reaction that Zhou Yan's identity was really as strong as the rumors said.

If Zhou Yan had no background, it would have been impossible to avoid all the core issues just now.

Usually, the less inside information you have, the more you like to talk about these things with others.

Zhou Yan didn't want to talk, so he probably knew something.

Today Huang Hexiang took the initiative to come with Gong Li to meet Zhou Yan, naturally not because of Zhou Yan's status as director and composer, but because of the rumors about Zhou Yan's background.

If the rumors were true, then he would naturally want to have a good relationship with Zhou Yan.

Although Zhou Yan didn't want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him now, he didn't care. How could people have a heart-to-heart relationship with him the first time they met.

Anyway, Gong Li has a good relationship with Zhou Yan, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. (End of chapter)
