Chapter 20 Acquaintances
Chapter 20 "Acquaintances"
After Xia Shang sent Angelina away, he returned to his previous life trajectory. Although he lacked some excitement and fun, he felt very exciting. After the editing of the film footage of the film that was advanced for a week, the post-production of the film "Blair the Witch" was finally coming to an end. As a result, Xia Shang gave him a sigh and couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
However, on this day, Xia Shang, who was making the final sprint for the post-production of the film, was suddenly interrupted by a strange phone call. Xia Shang pressed the call button on his phone with a question. At the same time, a man who made Xia Shang feel familiar and unfamiliar came from the opposite side of the phone: "Hi, my dearest Xia, long time no see, I wonder what you are busy with recently?"
After hearing this voice, Xia Shang was stunned. Who was this person? He seemed to be very familiar with him, but he couldn't remember who the other party was for a moment, so he frowned and asked curiously: "Sorry, who are you?"
"Ah, my dear Xia, you actually forgot your good brother Kane. This is so heartbreaking." After hearing Xia Shang's words, the other party couldn't help but howl loudly. It was so sad and heartbroken.
At this moment, after seeing the other party's reaction again, Xia Shang could be 100% sure that the other party knew him, but he didn't know who the other party was. After hearing that the other party became Kane, Xia Shang couldn't help but start to recall the memories in his mind, hoping to find information about the other party.
Sure enough, just a moment later, Xia Shang searched for the answer in his mind and knew the other party's identity. He was indeed an acquaintance of his own, named Kane Johnson, an alumnus of the Southern California School before Xia Shang, but he was from the business department, and Xia Shang was from the director department.
Although the business school at the University of Southern California is not as famous as the School of Film and Television, it is at least one of the famous universities in California. Kane, as a top student in the Department of Business at the University of Southern California, also has his own real talents. However, in addition to being interested in business, this guy is more interested in the profession of film producer. The reason why Xia Shang met him and became good friends was also due to a very accidental opportunity.
Xia Shang, who had already figured it out in his heart, couldn't help but smile. It's been almost a month since he came to this world, and he was basically busy. He either wanted to write scripts or shoot videos, or even made videos. Xia Shang had even forgotten that he had a past.
"Hey, hey, Xia, why don't you stop talking? You're not really hit by me." Kane Johnson on the other side of the phone hadn't heard Xia Shang's echo for a long time, and couldn't help but scream again.
Of course, Xia Shang didn't remember Kane Johnson very much at this moment. After all, Xia Shang had already had Xia Shang, so he definitely couldn't say that, so Xia Shang also laughed, "How is that possible, dear Kane, I've been too busy lately. What about you, Kane, why did you suddenly call me today if you have time?"
Kane Johnson heard Xia Shang say this and immediately turned into joy: "Haha, I can't call you if I'm fine. You have to know that you are my best friend, I think of it..."
"Stop, Kane, to be honest, I'm really busy. If you have anything to do, you can just say it." How could Xia Shang believe Kane's nonsense? Although he is friends with Kane, he is definitely not the best. Moreover, Kane Johnson has Jewish blood and a typical profit-seeking personality. I'm afraid that only US dollars or gold is his favorite.
Moreover, Xia Shang has no time and no intention to talk nonsense with him now. The post-production of "The Witch Blair" is about to end. Now Xia Shang puts work first.
"Okay, Xia, you are still like this, and it has not changed at all, but there is something to come to you today." After hearing Xia Shang's words, Kane Johnson stopped his reminiscence and told Xia Shang the purpose of his phone call.
It turned out that Kane Johnson's family opened a cinema, and his father George Johnson was also the owner of a famous cinema chain. Influenced by his father, Kane had the dream of being a film producer since he was a child. After graduating in Southern California at the end of last year, Kane began to beg his father to become the owner of a cinema. After several months of hard work, George Johnson finally agreed to hand over a cinema not far from Hollywood to Kane for management.
After Kane got this prime cinema, he felt very happy. He thought it was time for him to make great achievements, so he wanted to find someone to celebrate it well. However, who made this guy not very good at ordinary people? After thinking about it, he realized that in Los Angeles, in addition to his relatives, there was only Xia Shang, an enthusiast, who was the only one who was an enthusiast, so he called Xia Shang.
After hearing Kane's explanation, Xia Shang couldn't help but find that this guy had definitely hidden himself in the past. The memories of Kane Johnson in his mind did not know that he had more than a dozen cinemas at home, but this guy was really lucky and became the owner of a cinema.
Originally, Xia Shang wanted to reject Kane Johnson's invitation, but he was really busy today, but after thinking about it, he still agreed.
...
When Xia Shang rushed to a bar near Hollywood according to the agreed time and place with Kane, he found that there was a white man in a suit and ties waiting for him at the corner. After a moment of recollection in his mind, Xia Shang recognized that the white man was Kane Johnson, his old acquaintance.
Just when Xia Shang discovered Kane Johnson, Kane also discovered him. He was still dressed in casual casual outfits, suitable and casual matching made him look very charming. After seeing Xia Shang, Kane put down the wine glass in his hand and ran to Xia Shang quickly. After hugging him tightly, he laughed and said, "My dearest Xia, you are here. Do you know I am waiting for you?"
"Oh, okay, Kane, you know, I don't like hugging men, you won't forget it." Xia Shang pushed Kane who was hugging him to the side, and then reappeared and greeted him.
"Ah? Of course I know, who made me happy today, I forgot that you are still as strong as before." Kane looked at Xia Shang with resentment, and then invited him to the seat he had booked.
It was not until this time that Xia Shang carefully looked at the old acquaintance, who was almost the same age as him, with white skin, male eyes, a typical white European and American man, with a good appearance and not too tall figure. However, Xia Shang looked at Kane Johnson in a black suit, white shirt and tie, and didn't feel a little weird.
"How is it? Xia, does my outfit look like a film producer? If I add a pair of glasses, it would be even better. Unfortunately, I am not myopic." Seeing Xia Shang looking at him, Kane Johnson put on a pose that he thought he was very handsome and said narcissistically.
"To be honest, Kane, after seeing you like this, I realized that you have not changed, and you are still so vulgar." After seeing Kane's appearance, Xia Shang looked at him casually, as if I don't know you. When he saw a narcissistic person, Xia Shang had never seen such a narcissistic person.
"Oh, you can't do this. I'm so sad when you say this. Wouldn't you praise me for a few words?" Kane said sadly after hearing Xia Shang's words.
Xia Shang just smiled at Kane's words, and did not take it seriously. He didn't hear any sadness in Kane's words. Xia Shang stopped Kane, who wanted to continue joking. He picked up the wine glass and touched Kane for a while, then congratulated and said, "Congratulations, dear Kane, congratulations on getting what you wish. Did you call me here today just to show off your power?"
