Chapter 479 Parents Forced Marriage

However, although I know that the Xu brothers are talking nonsense.

However, people in the industry still don't understand the purpose of the Xu brothers' change of schedule.

After all, in their opinion, the big production "Shangyang Fu" could not be afraid of Chen Yan's small production.

So, from the very beginning, they subconsciously ruled out this answer.

After that, no matter how they thought about it, they could not get the real reason.

Among them, some people have raised the question in groups or on WeChat Moments whether the release date of "Shangyang Fu" was postponed in order to avoid "The Journey of Flower".

However, it was quickly denied by others, so this statement did not spread.

But things will not change .

The day after "The Story of Yanxi Palace" was rescheduled, Chenlu Pictures also released a brief statement saying that "The Journey of Flower" would also be rescheduled.

And...the changed time happened to be the day after "Shangyang Fu" was rescheduled.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes became a little amused for a moment.

After all, Morning Dew Pictures' purpose of provocation was too obvious.

Everyone was waiting for the attitude of the Xu brothers.

The result, to everyone's surprise, was that... the Xu brothers changed the schedule again.

Moreover, this time, four parts were revised at once.

All projects that conflict with Morning Dew Pictures have been rescheduled to new dates.

Some even gave up their prime time slots.

The whole circle was in an uproar over this.

After all, if one play is an accident or a coincidence, then all the plays will give way. This can be regarded as solid evidence that the Xu brothers are really avoiding Morning Dew Pictures.

Could it be that... the Xu brothers who have dominated the film and television industry for twenty years are really no longer able to do so?

Or...are all these works of Morning Dew Pictures hits?

All of a sudden, everyone in the circle who had connections started asking for specific information.

The internal preview of Morning Dew Pictures was not kept secret, so all parties soon learned something surprising: that is, several dramas released by Morning Dew Pictures this time were all rated S or above on the satellite TV stations, platforms, and theaters where they were released.

All satellite TV channels, platforms, and cinemas have listed these dramas as projects with the potential to become big hits.

This shocked many people.

Four more hits? This must be a lie, right?

My own company has to work hard for five or six years to produce one hit, but Morning Dew Pictures can only pick up three or four at random?

And to everyone's surprise.

Chenlu Pictures was really tough. Even though the Xu brothers kept avoiding it, on the next day, Chenlu Pictures still changed the broadcast dates of all the dramas again.

It was changed to the same date as the four projects of the Xu brothers.

Now, everyone knows Chenlu Pictures’ intentions: they are determined to target the Xu brothers, and no one’s advice will work.

Many people shook their heads slightly, thinking that Chenlu Pictures' move was a bit irrational.

After all, the entertainment industry is so risky. Who doesn’t have low periods and failed projects?

Although Morning Dew Pictures is so aggressive, don’t forget that it still has seven or eight projects on hand.

Once any of these projects go wrong, the Xu brothers will definitely launch an attack against them.

I wonder if the Xu brothers have also thought of this.

So after two postponements and still being deliberately targeted by Morning Dew Pictures, they gave up on rescheduling again and started concentrating on preparing these projects.

It fully demonstrates the demeanor of an industry leader.

However... inside Xu Brothers Pictures, things are not as calm as they appear on the outside.

Xu Brothers Pictures, Chairman’s Office.

Xu Zhaorong lit a cigar, smoked it with his eyes squinting, and listened to his brother complaining.

Xu Zhaoqing, "Fuck Chen Yan and Lu Man. Are they sick?!"

"Give him face, no shame?"

"We deliberately gave up our time, but they were so aggressive that they insisted on confronting us head-on!"

"Do they really think that we can't beat them?"

Hearing his brother's words, Xu Zhaorong nodded and said, "It's true that we can't compare."

Xu Zhaoqing's expression froze. He looked at his brother with a bit of disbelief and asked, "Brother, it can't be that bad, right?"

"I watched the finished film. It's actually pretty good."

Xu Zhaorong asked, "Which one do you think is good?"

Xu Zhaoqing said, "The Legend of Hao Lan. And Love and Destiny is also good."

"Of course, my favorite is "Fortress of the Demon City". I think it will definitely create a precedent for domestic science fiction films."

When talking about this, Xu Zhaoqing became a little excited.

He said, "Brother, you haven't seen that book or that movie."

"I tell you, it concentrates all the elements of fire."

“Although it’s science fiction, at its core it’s a romance film.”

"Plus family and country feelings, war, and action."

"I can find only one comparable film in the history of film."

Hearing his brother's praise, Xu Zhaorong's expression became a little strange.

But seeing his brother making a similar comparison, he curiously asked, "Which one?"

Xu Zhaoqing said proudly, "Titanic!"

Xu Zhaorong: …

Xu Zhaoqing said confidently, "Look, do the cores of these two works look similar?"

“They all look like disaster movies.”

“They are all the core of romance movies.”

"There are touching love stories, as well as patriotism in times of disaster and crisis."

"The most important thing is that there is always a handsome guy as the leading actor. This can trick countless girls into going to the cinema."

After hearing his brother's mysterious words, Xu Zhaorong stopped moving for more than ten seconds.

After a while, he slowly uttered a few words, "Are you crazy?"

He looked at his brother with an incredulous expression, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

After Xu Zhaoqing said these words, he actually didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.

But just because he's a little bit stupid doesn't mean he can't read people's expressions.

Especially towards his brother, he knew his brother's character too well since he was a child.

The fact that he said this clearly showed that he had a different opinion.

So, Xu Zhaoqing stopped talking immediately.

Xu Zhaorong took a few deep breaths, then put the cigar on the table and said earnestly, "Zhaoqing, don't say these words outside."

"Otherwise... I'm afraid of others..."

A question mark slowly appeared above Xu Zhaoqing's head:?

Xu Zhaorong: …

After a moment, Xu Zhaorong said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Let's continue chatting."

He said, "Since Chen Yan doesn't want to let us go."

"Then let's give them a hand. Let them win a few games first."

Xu Zhaoqing whispered, "It's not certain that we will lose..."

Xu Zhaorong ignored the fool.

He said, "Anyway, we've already made the money. What's the big deal about losing some face?"

"As long as we can continue to produce quality works and the actors we work with remain united with us, we will not fail."

"Business wars last a long time. Only the one who wins in the end wins!"

After hearing what his brother said, although Xu Zhaoqing had different opinions, he still nodded and agreed.

Then, he asked, "How do we operate those films?"

Xu Zhaorong picked up the cigar and said nonchalantly, "Promote "Shangyang Fu" as usual. Let's give up the other ones for now."

He paused, "Oh. Don't just give up. You can talk to the broadcasting platforms and theaters and ask them to invest resources."

At this point, he glanced at his brother and said, "Use the same rhetoric you just used. That state."

Xu Zhaoqing: …

"good……"

…

There is no impenetrable wall in the circle: especially when facing Yang Rou, a woman who holds grudges.

The news that the Xu brothers were dead soon reached Yang Rou and Chen Yan through certain channels.

After learning that the Xu brothers had decided to go all out, Chen Yan was very satisfied.

After all, what he needed was for the Xu brothers to give up.

Only in this way can Chen Yan continue his plan with Yang Rou.

They prepared a series of tricks for the Xu brothers, just to take over the company in one fell swoop.

Chen Yan Company.

After Yang Rou finished reporting everything she needed to report, she looked at the man in front of her who was much younger than her.

Ever since she drank Chen Yan’s “water” last time, Yang Rou found that she seemed to be different.

The specific manifestation is that I am full of energy every day and have plenty of physical strength. It seems that I can climb 18 floors in one breath without feeling tired.

Oh... this is because it's an elevator.

However, at least Yang Rou would not feel particularly tired after handling official duties for a day.

During this period, she had been wanting to ask Chen Yan about the secret, but she didn't know how to start.

Now, seeing that Chen Yan was in a good mood, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Chen, I feel very well these days."

Chen Yan looked up at her and smiled, "Then... congratulations."

Chen Yan's unconventional answer left Yang Rou speechless.

She was silent for a while, then tentatively said, "Since I fell asleep in your office."

Chen Yan blinked his eyes, which were full of confusion. "Is that so?"

"Then...it seems that you really haven't rested enough."

"I just took a nap in my office and felt better. That means you are too tired."

Seeing that Chen Yan was impervious to criticism, Yang Rou shut up.

She felt that she shouldn't have spoken.

She was not good at speaking to begin with, and Chen Yan easily shut her up with just a few words.

At this moment, Chen Yan was almost laughing madly in his heart.

He thought Yang Rou's personality was really interesting. She was obviously curious about what happened that day, but because she was quiet and didn't like to ask questions, she kept it to herself.

As a result, I couldn't hold it in, and no matter how I asked, I got no results.

If she had obsessive compulsive disorder, she might jump off the building...

After chatting with Yang Rou for a few more sentences, Chen Yan let her leave the office: Now Yang Rou was always ambiguous towards Chen Yan, and Chen Yan wanted to win her over, so playing hard to get was the best way.

It would be especially convenient if she had the "physical strength pills and energy pills" to keep her company.

After thinking about Yang Rou, Chen Yan couldn't help but think of Yu Qiaoqiao who also took the [pill].

Compared to the "physical strength potion" and "energy potion" given to Yang Rou, the [physical fitness pills] that Yu Qiaoqiao took are a good thing.

The first two are one-time supplements. Once you finish the supplement, that's it.

The latter acts directly on the body, permanently increasing a person's physique.

If put into the game, the first two are red and blue bottles, and the latter is attribute points.

From this, we can also see the preciousness of [Constitution Potion].

During this period, Chen Yan had been secretly feeding Yu Qiaoqiao this potion.

And the effect is very obvious.

Although Yu Qiaoqiao was pretty in the past, she was actually always thin and small.

Except for certain parts of his body, he was just a skinny guy, looking malnourished.

But now, with the improvement of the [Constitution Potion], her health is obviously getting better.

Not only is there a bit more radiance, but skin is also more radiant and plump.

That natural beauty gradually emerged.

As a result, her personality gradually became more outgoing. Sometimes she dared to take the initiative to look at Chen Yan or call Chen Yan.

Occasionally, Chen Yan could see her humming a song and happily going downstairs to water the flowers in the flower bed.

Looking down from the upstairs, it seems like life is peaceful and quiet.

Thinking about Yu Qiaoqiao like this, Chen Yan missed her a little. So he called her and said he would go home for dinner tonight.

After a moment, Yu Qiaoqiao replied with a cute cat making an "ok~" gesture.

If this had happened in the past, she would never have posted it.

She has a mild social phobia, so she will just reply with the actual content and will never reply with emoticons.

That was "too cute" for her. Insecure.

After reading the text message from Qiaoqiao’s boss, Chen Yan put down his phone.

As a result, just as he put down his cell phone, it suddenly rang again.

Chen Yan looked at the phone strangely.

Then... he was stunned for a moment.

Because, that was his mother's phone number...

When Chen Yan first rented a house, he actually had very close contact with his family, and his father, Lao Chen, was his landlord for a period of time.

At that time, Mr. Chen was proud every day that his son had founded a game company, and he also gave a lot of support.

As a result, later, when Chen Yan's business grew bigger and bigger, his parents had less and less contact with him.

Perhaps because they were worried about affecting Chen Yan's work, the old couple, apart from calling him once a month, only let Chen Yan come home for dinner during the holidays.

When they returned home for dinner, the old couple kept talking about Chen Yan's career, obviously because they were afraid of putting pressure on Chen Yan.

Normally, they would try to contact Chen Yan as little as possible so as not to create a burden for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan only occasionally learned from his old friends that Old Chen was now very powerful. He acted calm and nonchalant in front of Chen Yan, but in the village everyone wanted to talk about Chen Yan all the time.

The same goes for Chen Yan's mother. When she chats with neighbors, she always mentions Chen Yan.

The only problem is that they have been worried about Chen Yan's lifelong affairs.

No matter how rich you are, how much wealth you have, how famous you are, or how many people know you.

When you reach a certain age, your parents will definitely worry about your marriage, and then they will think of ways to ask you in a roundabout way whether you have a partner and when you plan to get married...

This seems to be something that can never be avoided.

Therefore, in the past two years, whenever Chen Yan went home or called, he would always be asked questions by his parents.

Ask Chen Yan if he has found a girlfriend.

Ask Chen Yan when he plans to get married.

What can Chen Yan say...

He dared not say anything.

So, he could only stammer and not say anything.

Every time this happened, although his parents didn't say anything, one could see the obvious worry and sadness on their faces.

Chen Yan was also very distressed.

After all...it's not that he doesn't have a girlfriend. He has several...

So, he couldn't get married.

He couldn't satisfy one girl and then disappoint the other girls...

Therefore, every time his parents talked about this topic, Chen Yan felt overwhelmed.

He felt that even though he had a fortune of hundreds of billions, he could not avoid the pressure of being forced into marriage.

And every time he made fun of himself like this, his father Lao Chen would always say quietly: Even if you have a net worth of hundreds of billions, what’s the use if you don’t even have someone to inherit it?

Therefore, Chen Yan could only:

While recalling what his parents had done in the past two years, Chen Yan answered the phone with trepidation.

The call was connected, and Chen Yan's mother's voice came from the other end of the line, "Son. Are you busy?"

Chen Yan said, "Not busy. Mom. What's wrong?"

Chen Yan's mother said, "Oh. It's nothing. I just saw that it was noon, so I called you to ask if you had eaten."

Chen Yan didn't believe his mother's tricks at all, so he said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."

At this time, Lao Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Chen Yan, how can you say that? We called to show our concern for you, what could be the problem?"

Chen Yan: …

"Oh. I ate it. So... hung up?"

"Ahem." Lao Chen coughed twice, then said, "Since you've eaten, I'm just asking casually."

"I'm just asking casually."

He said, "Your mother and I have really liked that female star in your company recently. What's her name..."

"Lu Man..." Chen Yan's mother said softly.

Old Chen said, "Oh. Yes. Lu Man."

"Can you take us to see him?"

After hearing what his parents said, Chen Yan became alert.

He asked, "Have you seen any news or gossip again?"

Old Chen and Chen Yan's mother quickly denied it, "No. Don't talk nonsense. We are just chasing stars."

Chen Yan: …
