Chapter 161 I like you, it's your honor
Lu Man looked at Chen Yan, rolled his eyes, and continued,
"Privately, if I have any thoughts about you, you must try your best to cooperate."
"After all, I am also a normal woman and I have romantic needs."
"As for the rest of the time, just treat us as just friends."
"You should..." She hesitated for a moment, "Hmm. How should I do it? How should I do it?"
"Don't feel any psychological burden."
"After all, I can't possibly give you the 'status' you want."
"You should have your own normal life."
"Well...from now on, you will be my little man behind me!"
"Sister, I'll support you!"
After hearing what Lu Man said, Chen Yan finally understood what Lu Man was talking about.
He looked up at her in surprise...
It's a bit unbelievable.
Although Lu Man said a lot of things, he sounded nagging.
But in fact, in the final analysis, what she meant was that she wanted to maintain an ambiguous relationship with Chen Yan underground without affecting Chen Yan's life or being jealous of Qiaoqiao.
The reason she used was: she was a star and couldn't fall in love. She couldn't make it public. So she just enjoyed something like this with Chen Yan.
This reason seems... quite reasonable, and it does seem like it is "wronging" Chen Yan.
But how could Chen Yan not know... this was the girl sacrificing herself for him.
She just said this because she was afraid of putting herself in a difficult position and having trouble choosing between her and Yu Qiaoqiao...
She is usually funny and dramatic. But after her favorability reaches [like], she becomes so thoughtful?
Perhaps sensing the emotion in Chen Yan's eyes, Lu Man snorted again and said proudly,
"What are you looking at?"
"Feeling wronged?"
"I'm telling you, it's your honor to be liked by me, the future superstar!"
"When I get tired of playing with you, I'll kick you away. Hehe , you won't even have time to cry by then."
Chen Yan knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and hugged her, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't worry. I won't let you kick me away."
"Don't ever think of getting rid of me."
Lu Man was held in Chen Yan's arms again, and a hint of sweetness gradually appeared in her heart.
Just as Chen Yan thought, Lu Man made this decision not for the reasons she mentioned, but entirely for Chen Yan.
If Chen Yan wasn't too greedy, she wouldn't want to have an unclear relationship between her and Chen Yan.
But, there is no way...
Who made Chen Yan have Yu Qiaoqiao by his side?
Lu Man also wanted to completely leave Chen Yan's world.
But...at least now, she couldn't do it.
Whenever she thought about leaving Chen Yan, her heart ached.
And if Chen Yan was asked to leave Yu Qiaoqiao and be with her, she also understood that her position in Chen Yan's heart was not as high as Yu Qiaoqiao's.
Such a request would only make the relationship between the three people even more ridiculous and awkward.
Having already been tortured once, Lu Man really doesn't want to go through this again.
Therefore, all she could do was compromise...
Although she also knew that this compromise was too humble and would probably only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
But... let's leave it at that for now. If I can stay with this man for a while longer, then I'll stay with him for a while longer...
As a star, it is indeed not suitable for me to have a public relationship or get married.
Let’s talk about it later…
Let time solve everything...
At least at this moment, my heart is at peace, comfortable and sweet...
Lu Man felt at ease as she leaned her head gently on Chen Yan's shoulder.
Just like that, the two of them hugged each other and were affectionate for a while.
It wasn't until Lu Man's assistant knocked gently on the door that they were awakened.
"Sister Man. The break is over. It's time to shoot the next scene."
Lu Man got up from Chen Yan's arms. She glanced at Chen Yan, rolled her eyes, and said to Chen Yan, "Little man, check if my makeup is messy or my clothes are messy."
Chen Yan stood up, walked around Lu Man twice, and said, "Big star. Her makeup is not smudged, and her clothes are not messy. It just seems that there is a wet spot somewhere."
Lu Man's face turned red and she quietly reached her hand down, her heart filled with shame.
'It must have gotten wet when that bastard spanked me just now!'
"Why didn't I fight back then?"
“It’s so embarrassing!”
As a result, when , Chen Yan gently touched her shoulder and said, "When I hugged you just now, I seemed to drool a little. But it's okay."
Lu Man: ? ?
She stepped on Chen Yan's instep, "Hmph!!"
"Hiss!" Chen Yan felt pain, covered his foot, and said innocently, "What's wrong again?! Did I say something wrong?"
Lu Man glared at him with a red face, "It's okay! I just suddenly don't like you!"
After saying that, she took a deep breath, her face returned to the cold and elegant look she always had in front of outsiders, and she opened the door.
The assistant outside the door may have heard Chen Yan's cry of pain, and looked inside the door curiously, and then saw Chen Yan squatting on the ground, covering his feet.
She looked at Lu Man with some concern and asked in a low voice, "Sister Man, Mr. Chen...is he okay?"
Lu Man's aura was fully revealed, and she was very cool and beautiful. "It's okay. He accidentally sprained his ankle. Don't pay attention to him. Let's go."
After saying that, she walked on her slender legs towards the venue for the next scene.
The assistant looked at Chen Yan curiously again, said "Oh...", and hurriedly chased after him.
Chen Yan squatted in the lounge, holding his feet, with a question mark on his head, "What did I say? Why did I get stepped on? This is too much bullying!"
"This idiot! He steps on and bites people all the time! He is simply a violent person. Does every masochist have a sadist heart?"
"horrible."
After verifying that there was no problem with Lu Man's emotional certainty and that it would not have any impact on her filming progress, Chen Yan's trip to the crew came to an end.
Then, he checked the time and watched a few more filmings in the crew. After confirming that his behavior today had no impact on Lu Man, he left the crew contentedly.
On the way back, Chen Yan was still affirming himself: It seems that it was right for me to take the opportunity to let Lu Man experience the feeling of heartbreak before filming.
She can use this deep impression to seamlessly connect into the play, making her performance more vivid.
My plan of killing two birds with one stone was a complete success.
but……
This approach always has drawbacks.
After all, Lu Man was filming a heart-breaking movie, and he could let her experience the heart-breaking experience.
Filming fatherly love, I... well, I can barely be her father for a few days. Let her feel the broad fatherly love.
But...if she's filming a kidnapping scene, what should I do? I can't help her kidnap someone, right?
Or, if you are shooting a murder scene, you can't just find someone for her to kill.
Chen Yan felt that he had to find a way to improve Lu Man's performance potential.
This little actor is usually quite good at acting. Why can't he act like this in front of the camera?
You have to think of a solution yourself.
After all, this girl is the girlfriend chosen by the system. In reality, she is already very close to me. I should work hard for her dream...
However, that’s all later.
I want her to realize her dream, so the first thing I should do is to settle the matter with Song Chuang and arrange the distribution of her first film...

…
The next morning, Chen Yan and Song Chuang met again at the tea restaurant they had met last time.
This time, the two of them obviously became much closer.
After all, the fact that they were able to go for a second appointment already shows how much they value and think about this cooperation.
If they don't want to cooperate, there's no need for them to talk again. They will politely refuse over the phone.
After they drank some tea and ate a few desserts, they started talking about business.
Song Chuang asked first, "Mr. Chen, I wonder what you think of my previous plan?"
Chen Yan smiled and shook his head, "I don't feel very well."
Song Chuang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Chen Yan to reject the plan.
Then...why do we still want to talk?
He asked tentatively, "Is there a problem?"
Chen Yan said, "I feel... this plan is too conservative."
He said, "Look at my plan."
As he spoke, Chen Yan took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Song Chuang.
Song Chuang took the document and read it curiously.
When he saw it, he was a little confused.
Because this plan is a bit... weird.
This plan positioned this distribution company as a company that specializes in distributing films in which Lu Man participated.
In addition to Chen Yan's investment of 40 million yuan, accounting for 80% of the shares, and Song Chuang's 20% of the shares, there are a bunch of dividend incentive plans listed above.
For example, the company set up a distribution team specifically for Lu Man's films. The higher the box office of Lu Man's films, the higher the dividends the distribution team gets.
This is actually a normal industry term.
But there are some additional rewards below which are fantastic.
In addition to the normal company dividends, the issuing team will also receive a large cash bonus based on the team's expenses. This does not consider profits at all, only expenses.
This is what surprised Song Chuang.
For example, the total cost of distributing Lu Man’s film was 50 million, but the box office was only 200 million.
The distribution company received a box office share of 60 million, but the actual profit was only 10 million.
In addition to taking out a portion of the 10 million, such as one or two million, to distribute to the distribution team, Chen Yan will also take out 20% of the 50 million: 10 million, to distribute to these teams.
In this plan, Chen Yan promised: As long as these expenses are reasonable, can help the box office, and are not deliberately wasting money, then he will take out this part of the dividends!
When Song Chuang saw this clause, he was completely stunned.
Because... this is totally unreasonable!
Companies need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure! Try to make as much money as possible while also trying to save as much money as possible.
Why is it that Chen Yan's company wants to spend as much money as possible? !
Is it possible that someone will reimburse him for the money he spends?
He felt it was unreasonable.
Therefore, Song Chuang looked at Chen Yan in surprise and asked, "Mr. Chen, I don't quite understand this clause."
When Chen Yan was making this plan, he had actually already prepared a draft in his mind and knew how he would explain it.
So he smiled and asked, "Mr. Song, what do you think is the purpose of my establishing this company?"
Song Chuang hesitated for a moment and said, "In order to...distribute Lu Man's film."
Chen Yan nodded , "Yes."
He said, "Then what do you think is the purpose of my releasing Lu Man's film?"
Song Chuang: ...
"High box office?"
Seeing that he understood, Chen Yan stopped keeping him in suspense. He nodded and said, "Yes. It's for the sake of high box office!"
“To be honest, I don’t really care how much money a movie makes.”
"What I care about is whether I can make Lu Man famous."
"As long as I can make Lu Man famous, I'm willing to spend any amount of money!"
At this point, Chen Yan said proudly, "So, don't save money for me! As long as it can boost the box office, just spend as much money as you can!"
"If you can spend 100 million, don't save me 50 million!"
"You can spend 500 million. Don't save me 300 million!"
"And I..."
Chen Yan looked into Song Ge's eyes and said, "As long as you spend money reasonably and don't spend it recklessly or cheat me, I will give you 20% of the dividends."
Song Chuang was shocked by Chen Yan's heroism.
Nowadays, it's very rare to find someone willing to spend so much money on a woman!
And I saw one today!
and……
Other companies use profit as their KPI, but this company is the only one that uses spending as its KPI!
This is simply...
So shocking!
Even Song Chuang, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, felt a little slow in the brain for a while.
I don’t know whether the future of this new company is good or bad!
Should I join this company?
Chen Yan watched Song Chuang daydreaming and did not disturb him.
He had guessed all this when he made the plan.
However, his reasons are also very good. For a company that does not care about profits and only wants to have high box office, it is reasonable to calculate individual performance based on expenses instead of profits.
Even though Song Chuang felt that this company was weird, he didn't think that he had any other purpose.
As for whether he would agree...
Chen Yan believed that he would definitely agree.
Why do people go out to work?
Make money.
And what is the purpose of starting a business?
Still making money.
And now, there is a way for him to make money quickly in front of him, how could he not agree?
He just hasn't figured it out yet. After a while, when he calculates his annual income, he will definitely agree.
After the meal, Song Chuang did not chat with Chen Yan as much as he did last time, but first proposed to go back and study the plan...
