Chapter 180 Lu Man: So you like to play this kind of game~
Shasha, who was standing next to Director Teng, was trying to persuade him.
"Director Teng, please don't be angry. Didn't Sister Man behave well before? She just can't find the feeling now."
"She felt bad because she didn't take a good photo. So don't blame him."
After hearing what Sasha said, Teng Yufei looked at Lu Man and sighed slightly.
Lu Man was one of the company's bosses, and he could not "beat" or scold him, and he even dared not say harsh words to him.
So he could only complain to Sasha, "I know she's under a lot of pressure too."
"But this drama is a female-led drama after all, and now the crew's filming plans have all been delayed because of her."
"You said she couldn't get into the situation. How can we shoot this scene?"
Sasha frowned and said in a low voice,
"I came here these two days to solve this problem."
"But... there is no good solution right now."
She said, "Sister Man is not a professional actor and has never studied acting before. So she relies purely on her talent for acting. It can be said that she uses an experiential acting style. With this acting method, the deeper the actor's involvement, the better the effect."
"She might have been in a bad mood before. So she easily embodied the feeling of a broken heart and her performance was outstanding."
"But these past few days, she couldn't find that feeling."
"So, the most urgent task now is to let her find the feeling of being heartbroken."
"I've been taking her to watch TV dramas about heartbreak every day to help her build up her emotions."
After hearing this, Teng Yufei was speechless.
He looked at the shooting plan in his hand and said, "Then I won't say anything else. I'll adjust the shooting plan and give her half a day off."
"Help her regain her senses as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, our play will be in real trouble."
Shasha nodded quickly, "Okay, Director Teng."
Chen Yan was listening to their conversation not far away, thinking about something.
Lu Man can't find the feeling during filming these days?
Is it because of...what happened a few days ago?
Chen Yan pondered for a moment.
I think that should be the case.
Last time she was on vacation, I took her on a shopping spree. Our relationship improved by leaps and bounds, and we even learned several moves.
With her current favorability level close to 160, there is absolutely no problem in saying "in love".
This obviously ruined her mood.
So that she can no longer experience the feeling of "broken love".
After all, she is not a schizophrenic. It is impossible for her to cry while filming and then smile when sending WeChat messages to herself after filming.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan also had a headache.
If you say this play is not important, then nothing else matters.
Chen Yan didn't care about this little money. He just lost it. Anyway, the system would give him double the cash back.
But the thing is, this play is crucial.
This is the first film produced by Morning Dew Pictures, and the entire entertainment and film and television circles are watching.
It is also Lu Man's masterpiece that proves herself to the industry.
And what’s more important is... this play is also related to Chen Yan’s cashback of several hundred million.
So Chen Yan had to take it seriously.
He began to ponder.
Is there any way to help Lu Man regain the feeling of a broken heart?
Chen Yan looked at Lu Man while thinking of a solution.
As he thought about it, Chen Yan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Lu Man's hand.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: Hey, there is a way.
He went over this method in his mind and thought... if this method is used well, it can even be cleverly combined with the "verification of 10x cashback rule"!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan no longer waited and strode over.
Suddenly, they saw someone walking towards them, and Teng Yufei and Shasha couldn't help but look up.
When they found out it was their boss, they quickly suppressed their previous emotions and greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Chen. Why are you here?"
"Mr. Chen."
Chen Yan smiled and shook hands with Teng Yufei, then said, "It's okay. I just happened to be passing by here, so I came to take a look."
After that, he casually asked, "Did the filming go smoothly these two days?"
Teng Yufei certainly wouldn't say anything bad about Lu Man in front of Chen Yan, so he quickly said, "It went smoothly, very smoothly. I think there will be no problem in completing it according to the plan."
Chen Yan didn't expose her, but just nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Chen Yan chatted with the two of them for a few more words, and then said he was going to find Lu Man.
In fact, everyone in the company already knew about the relationship between Chen Yan and Lu Man.
That’s what happens in the entertainment industry.
So Teng Yufei was not surprised and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Chen, Miss Lu Man has no shooting plans this morning. You can go out for a walk."
Chen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Okay."
After leaving the two of them, Chen Yan came to Lu Man.
Lu Man actually noticed Chen Yan as early as when Chen Yan and Teng Yufei were chatting.
It’s just because she didn’t take good photos these past two days, so she didn’t have the face to come over.
Now seeing Chen Yan coming over, she sat on the chair, looked up at Chen Yan, and said angrily, "You're here? Did Director Teng say something bad about me?"
Chen Yan walked up to her, smiled and touched her head, and said with a bit of doting, "How is that possible? You are the boss of the company, how dare Director Teng say bad things about you."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, Lu Man was immediately happy.
She rubbed Chen Yan's palm happily, smiled complacently, and showed her two little canine teeth, "He knows what's good for him. Wait for him to get a chicken drumstick!"
Xiao Tao, the assistant at the side, lowered her head and coughed twice, then reminded in a low voice, "Personality, personality, Sister Man."
Lu Man: ...
Lu Man slapped Chen Yan's hand away, raised his head slightly, and looked at Chen Yan with a stern face, "My head is not for casual touch."
Chen Yan smiled. He felt that Lu Man's dramatic expression became more and more interesting the more he watched.
After all, they had to consider the impact on the crew, and they were not comfortable chatting. So when Lu Man learned that the director gave her a morning off, she went to the lounge with Chen Yan and Xiao Tao to eat and rest.
And after Lu Man left.
The people in the crew were also discussing quietly.
"Lu Man...is she dating that Mr. Chen?"
"That should be it? I seemed to see them behaving a bit intimately just now."
"No wonder she has been having trouble filming recently. It's a joke for her to be filming a breakup as someone who is in love."
"Yeah. That's true. But it's hard for us. Repeated NGs are like killing someone with a blunt knife. It's too tiring."
"I feel like if this continues, our show will fail."
"Not necessarily. Maybe... Lu Man will get back to his normal form in the afternoon?"
"How is that possible! Can we find it just like that in this state? There's no chance!"
While the crew was discussing in a low voice, Chen Yan, Lu Man and Xiao Tao also arrived at the lounge.
Arriving at the lounge, Chen Yan said to Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, go buy us some food."
Lu Man, who was standing by, opened her mouth to say, "Can't we order takeout?"
But when she thought that Chen Yan might do this because he wanted them to be alone, she immediately stopped talking.
After all, who doesn’t like to be alone with someone in love?
Lu Man thought a little shyly...
…
After Xiaotao left, Chen Yan closed the door and locked it.
Lu Man watched Chen Yan's actions, her heart pounding.
She felt... Chen Yan must be planning to do something bad again.
Well... who doesn't want to do bad things?
Just don't go too deep.
Thinking of this, Lu Man raised her head, then looked at Chen Yan with affectionate eyes and said, "Come on~ Let's hurry up, otherwise Xiao Tao will come back later and it will be embarrassing."
Chen Yan, who had just closed the door, was confused: ???
What does “come on” and “hurry up” mean?
I closed the door because I was afraid that... the sound of me "explaining the play" to Lu Man would be heard outside and cause misunderstanding.
Is Lu Man overthinking?
Although Chen Yan was looking at Lu Man and was actually a little eager, but... Chen Yan could only control his heart.
Because he knew that with Lu Man's current state of mind, if he tried to do something interesting with her again, she would not be able to make the movie.
She is a loser who even a bunch of great gods can't help!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan walked to Lu Man, tapped her head, and said, "What are you thinking about all day? I closed the door just to prevent others from disturbing us. "
Lu Man leaned on Chen Yan and laughed, "I know. I'm also afraid that they will disturb me."
Chen Yan: ? ?
How come it's even weirder!
This little goblin...
Chen Yan coughed twice, slapped away Lu Man's hand that had already reached out to his leg, and then said seriously, "Ms. Lu Man, please be respectful. I am here to communicate with you as your boss."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, Lu Man was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of "So you like to play this kind of thing"~
Then, she suddenly showed a charming smile on her face, and then stretched out her slender hands, put them around Chen Yan's neck, sat on Chen Yan's legs, and said to Chen Yan coquettishly, "Okay, boss, I understand."
"So~~ do you want to work first, or do you want to..."
She swallowed the last two words and winked at Chen Yan charmingly~
Chen Yan only felt an electric current running from his back all the way to his whole body, stimulating him so much that goose bumps appeared all over his body.
What's going on! What's going on!
Manman, there's something wrong with you!
There is something so wrong with you!
Chen Yan felt like he was going crazy.
Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship, this little devil has been letting herself go, flirting with me in all kinds of ways. I feel like I don't have enough blood every day.
Besides, I'm really here to talk about serious matters!
I'm not here to flirt!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan hurriedly persuaded himself in his mind.
You must restrain yourself, restrain yourself!
Don't let yourself be seduced by this little devil.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and then helped Lu Man to the chair again.
Then he stood up and said to Lu Man righteously, "Lu Man! I really want to talk to you about serious matters! Be normal!"
Seeing Chen Yan was serious, Lu Man suddenly turned into a cute little kitten. She sat on the chair, pouting, looking at Chen Yan pitifully, "Oh~then go ahead."
Seeing Lu Man's adorable expression, Chen Yan's heart couldn't help but be moved again.
He felt like he was finished.
It seems like I'm really stuck in it...
Suppressing his feelings again, Chen Yan said to Lu Man seriously, "Manman, have you had trouble filming these days?"
When Lu Man heard Chen Yan talking about filming, she immediately understood what it was about.
She looked at Chen Yan and asked fiercely, "Did Director Teng complain to you?"
She bared her two canine teeth and said angrily, "I knew he would say bad things about me! It's just a shot that was NGed more than 40 times and still not passed. As for complaining?"
Chen Yan: ? ?
One shot was NGed more than forty times?
Chen Yan looked at Lu Man with a caring look.
It is indeed a big weight.
Director Teng really has a good personality. If it were me, I would have exploded a long time ago.
At that moment, Chen Yan suddenly had a bold guess in his mind: The reason why [Potential Photo Paper] judged that Director Teng was more suitable for this movie was not because of his good personality and his tolerance for Lu Man, right?
If it were any other director, they would have been pissed off by Lu Man’s level or just dealt with it.
Only Director Teng was willing to try again and again and speak up for Lu Man.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was even heavier.
Everyone has the responsibility to carry the weight!
He looked at Lu Man and said, "It wasn't Director Teng who filed the complaint. I heard people talking about these things, so I asked around."
"But I really didn't expect you to be able to do more than 40 NGs. You are simply a genius."
Realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, Lu Man quickly covered her mouth with her hands and smiled embarrassedly at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan ignored her and said, "Actually... I came here this time specifically to help you regain your acting feeling."
"Help me get my acting job back?" Lu Man looked at Chen Yan in surprise.
She didn't remember that Chen Yan could act.
Chen Yan nodded, "Yes."
"I have studied the acting styles of your actors, such as method acting, experiential acting, expressionist acting, etc. I have also done a detailed analysis of your acting skills."
As he spoke, Chen Yan silently added in his mind: For example... I just checked Baidu.
He said, "Because you are not a professional actor, you act according to your feelings. If you fit the role, you act well. If you don't fit the role, you act badly."
“If your mood is similar to the character’s, you will act well. If your mood is not similar to the character’s, you will not act well.”
“This is actually a standard experience.”
Lu Man looked at Chen Yan with big eyes, a little confused, "Oh...Is that so."
She really didn't expect that Chen Yan actually seemed to understand acting.
And Chen Yan continued, "So you and I... um, had a fight a while ago. You were in a bad mood, which fits the heroine of the movie. So you acted very well."
"But now, since you've reconciled with me, you went on a date with me a few days ago and went shopping with me."
"Also..." Chen Yan paused, looking at Lu Man vaguely, "Those things happened."
"So, your mentality is wrong. You can't act well."
Chen Yan, "This is because you are in a state of passionate love, not a state of heartbreak."
"Your mentality is different from that of the heroine in the movie. Your performance will never fit in."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man nodded and said, "I feel that what you said is right. I also discovered this. But...how to deal with it?"
Chen Yan took two steps in front of Lu Man and said, "It's very simple. Just let you find the feeling of being heartbroken again."
"To find the feeling of a broken heart again..." Lu Man muttered this sentence quietly, and then had a bad feeling in his heart.
She thought for a while, then suddenly raised her leg, looked at Chen Yan angrily, and said, "You are not going to find a third sister for Qiaoqiao and me, and then let me experience the feeling of heartbreak!"
Chen Yan, who had always been serious, lost his composure in an instant and almost vomited blood.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I don't have that idea!"
Suddenly counterattacking and teasing Chen Yan, Lu Man immediately regained her complacency and said, "Okay, then what method do you want to use?"
Chen Yan: …
This little goblin is really my enemy ...
Chen Yan coughed twice and returned to his serious state. He said, "Actually, the method is very simple. That is to give you a stimulus, so that you can regain the feeling of being heartbroken, and then do not destroy this feeling, and act with this feeling."
Lu Man asked, "How do you experience it?"
Chen Yan began to "explain the play" to Lu Man, "Think carefully about it, what does it feel like to be heartbroken?"
Lu Man looked at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan gestured and said, "Isn't it like a red-hot wire that pierces through the heart and twists and twists?"
Listening to Chen Yan's description, Lu Man's mind suddenly had a picture, and her hands couldn't help but clench.
Seeing Lu Man's reaction, Chen Yan nodded slightly and continued to preach.
"Or, it's like a piece of your heart has been cut out."
“It still works, but it always feels like a piece is missing.”
"You may not feel it at ordinary times. But when you think back, you find that, oh...it turns out that you are no longer complete."
Chen Yan’s words are actually not new, but his metaphor is particularly detailed.
So listening to his analogy, Lu Man couldn't help but feel as if there was a wire or a knife piercing her heart, cutting out her heart.
It was a physical discomfort.
It's like even if you don't hear the sound of fingernails scratching on a blackboard, when you hear someone describe it, your hair will stand on end involuntarily.
Seeing Lu Man gradually getting into the situation, Chen Yan nodded again.
Then he stretched out his right hand towards Lu Man.
Still immersed in that uncomfortable feeling, Lu Man looked up at him blankly. Then he reflexively stretched out his right hand.
Chen Yan held her fair right hand with his right hand, and then put his left hand on her watch.
This watch was bought by Chen Yan and Lu Man together last time.
It was the most expensive of the dozens of gifts, a Vacheron Constantin series watch worth more than 600,000 yuan.
Chen Yan touched Lu Man's watch and asked curiously, "Do you like it?"
Lu Man didn't understand why Chen Yan asked this question, so she just nodded.
Chen Yan said, "Hmm," "As long as you like it."
As he spoke, he took the watch off Lu Man's wrist.
Lu Man looked at Chen Yan's actions with some confusion.
I don’t know what Chen Yan is going to do.
