Chapter 487 Yang Rou: I like you, Chen Yan.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Chen Yan always feels that Yang Rou today is different from the past two days.
For example, in the past two days, even though she tried to hide it, I could still feel that she had a vague sense of rejection towards me.
But Yang Rou didn't have that feeling today.
Maybe because of those jokes?
Or maybe it was because the two of them were in a confined space?
Chen Yan didn't know.
He felt that more observation was needed.
The elevator door slowly closed. Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou and asked, "Sister Rou, do you seem to be in a good mood today?"
The expression on Yang Rou's face was a little cold.
She glanced at Chen Yan calmly and said, "Not bad."
'fine?'
Good is good, bad is bad. Fortunately...what the hell.
Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou.
After entering the elevator, Yang Rou and Chen Yan stood side by side, so from Chen Yan's point of view, he could only see Yang Rou's profile.
Yang Rou's profile is very beautiful. She is obviously in her thirties, but perhaps because she has no children and does not like to laugh, the years have not left many traces on her face.
Her skin looks white and tender, like a girl in her twenties.
She wore light makeup today and had thin eyebrows, which made her originally cold and serious face look much softer.
The lips are a light brown color, probably the Armani 520 that is very popular recently.
Chen Yan had eaten it on Lu Man's mouth two days ago.
It's delicious.
Perhaps because his eyes fell on her lips, Chen Yan suddenly discovered a detail that is usually difficult to notice: the curve of Yang Rou's mouth corners was slightly upward.
Chen Yan recalled Yang Rou's usual self.
Because of her serious expression, Yang Rou usually keeps the corners of her mouth downwards, giving people a feeling of being kept at a distance.
But today the corners of her mouth are raised, which shows that she is in a really good mood.
Chen Yan felt something was wrong.
You know, Yang Rou was not like this in the previous month.
Could it be that last night's parent-child activity really caused some changes in her?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan directly turned on his [inner earphones], wanting to eavesdrop on Yang Rou's inner thoughts.
The surrounding environment gradually faded away, and the only thing that appeared in Chen Yan's ears was Yang Rou's slow and steady heartbeat.
In the previous month, Chen Yan eavesdropped on Yang Rou's thoughts several times. Her heartbeat was a little "chaotic" and she could only sigh in her heart.
But this time, Chen Yan felt there was hope.
Sure enough, along with the sound of heartbeat, Yang Rou's voice rang in Chen Yan's ears.
"Is Xiao Chen Yan peeking at me?"
"Sure enough, the makeup Nuannuan put on me is very effective."
"Beheading men?"
"It's really 'cutting'. Little Chen Yan's eyes can't be pulled out."
As Yang Rou spoke her inner thoughts, Chen Yan also saw that Yang Rou seemed to be showing off deliberately, and she pursed her lips slightly, making the curve of her lips become more beautiful.
Chen Yan: …
At that moment, Chen Yan actually felt like crying with joy. It wasn't because of Yang Rou's touching words.
But...the former Yang Rou is back!
You know, in the past month or so, Yang Rou never teased Chen Yan in her heart again.
Of course Chen Yan felt that “it’s all over, it’s all over”, but he didn’t expect that now, the teasing started again?
The inner voice gradually faded away.
Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou's face again.
For some reason, Yang Rou's face seemed to be more lively and beautiful.
Chen Yan couldn't help but praise, "Sister Rou, you look really good today."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou's heart couldn't help but rise slightly, but she quickly controlled it and replied coldly, "Mr. Chen, please respect yourself."
Chen Yan: …
If Chen Yan had not eavesdropped on Yang Rou's inner thoughts, he would have mistakenly believed that Yang Rou was still rejecting him.
But seeing Yang Rou's face become cold again, Chen Yan was really a little crazy.
What on earth is this woman playing at?
Why is my heart back to normal, but my behavior so distant?!
Chen Yan felt that all this must be related to the mother-daughter activities of Yang Rou and Yang Nuannuan last night.
He wondered what happened last night.
This is what caused Yang Rou to change like this.
Just as Chen Yan was thinking this, the elevator stopped on the 17th floor: the film and television company.
Yang Rou nodded distantly and coldly at Chen Yan, then got off the elevator.
Having seen Yang Rou's condition in the elevator just now, how could Chen Yan give up like this?
So, he followed her down the elevator.
Yang Rou found that Chen Yan had followed her. She suppressed her laughter and turned back with a cold expression. "Mr. Chen, do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Yan had already found an excuse. He nodded, "Yes. I wanted to talk to you yesterday about the promotion of "Disguise". But you left work early."
"It's a good thing I met you now. Let's chat together."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou was obviously stunned for 0...5 seconds, then she nodded again and walked towards the office with Chen Yan.
Arriving at the office, Yang Rou opened the door, then gestured to Chen Yan to do it himself, and then she went to the window and opened it.
Chen Yan didn't consider himself an outsider and sat on the sofa casually.
After opening the window, Yang Rou returned to the desk and took the notebook that the secretary had given her to record matters.
There were several sticky notes on the notebook, all of which were problems encountered after she left, or things that needed to be dealt with this morning.
Sure enough, it said that Chen Yan talked to her about the promotion of "Disguise".
Yang Rou looked up at Chen Yan, a little confused: Could it be... I am being too sentimental? Did Chen Yan really come to me for work?
At this time, Chen Yan also sat up straight and spoke slowly.
He actually just wanted to stay with Yang Rou for a while longer, and it would be better if he could handle some official business at the same time.
So, next, the two of them started a series of discussions about increasing the publicity of "Disguise".
Because they both were not optimistic about the Xu brothers' "Love and Destiny", and they were both optimistic about their own drama, so their ideas were actually similar.
The only problem is that Yang Rou is also worried that the market for "Disguise" is relatively small, and if the publicity is increased, it will easily squeeze the profits.
But... in Chen Yan's opinion, he doesn't make money from these projects. If spending money can improve the performance of this drama, why not do it?
Therefore, with the approval of the big boss Chen Yan, Yang Rou signed a contract to increase the publicity of "Disguise".
Money is always the most effective way to create momentum.
With tens of millions of dollars invested in publicity, the popularity of "Disguise" skyrocketed. It began to dominate major charts and media.
People who knew about this drama or didn’t know about it before now all know that this drama is going to be broadcast.
With its exquisitely crafted costumes and props, actors with acclaimed acting skills, and the rare theme of spy warfare in the Republic of China, "Disguise" became a hit before it was even aired.
However, the film and television industry has been a bit cold-eyed about all this.
When Chen Yan first entered this circle and rewrote the rules of the circle with his own rules, everyone was a little surprised.
Later, every time Chenlu Pictures released a new project, Chen Yan would invest tens of millions of dollars in it, and everyone gradually got used to it.
At most, they would say sarcastically: Isn’t it just a little money?
Or, secretly curse: I have invested so much, let’s see how much you will lose if you fail.
It’s not that other investors saw Chen Yan’s operation and thought they had found a way to success, so they also followed Chen Yan’s example and started to invest heavily. Then…
That’s all.
Not everyone has a golden finger.
So, now that we see Chen Yan spending money on publicity again, everyone has tacitly accepted that this is "Chen Yan's rule" and is no longer surprised.
What they are more curious about now, or what they are concerned about, is Chen Yan’s enemies: the Xu brothers.
Because, facing Chen Yan's aggressive and aggressive approach, the Xu brothers seemed to have no reaction at all.
Even... the publicity plan for "Love and Destiny" was further reduced.
You know, the Xu brothers invested a lot in their projects in the past.
As a result, it has now disappeared.
This anomaly has gradually led people in the industry to speculate: Could it be that... the quality of "Love and Destiny" is not as good as expected again?
No way.
After two consecutive S-level projects failed, what happened to the Xu brothers?
Compared with the rise of Curious Morning Dew Pictures, it is obvious that the Xu brothers are about to fail, which makes everyone more eager to watch.
Many people began to discuss the failure of "Love and Destiny" and "Shangyang Fu".
So, gradually, some people began to speak out after the fact, saying that it was not suitable for big screen stars to switch to the small screen.
It is believed that this kind of character setting that violates the age rules of actors is very unlikable.
These were the reasons that countless viewers criticized "Shangyang Fu" during its release, and now they are applied to "Love and Destiny" without any incongruity.
Anyway, the film and television industry is like this. As long as you succeed, there are ten thousand reasons for your success.
If you fail, there are ten thousand reasons for your failure.
It all depends on everyone.
Just like that, "Disguise" became popular outside the circle before it was aired, but "Disguise" and "Love and Destiny" were released when people in the circle didn't pay much attention to them.
In less than three days, the superiority of the two dramas was clearly distinguished.
"Disguise" successfully took over the popularity of "The Journey of Flower" and became the TV series with the highest ratings during the same period.
And because of the subject matter, the word of mouth has exploded.
It has become the best-reviewed spy drama in recent years.
After its success on the big screen, Morning Dew Pictures released two hit movies in succession to prove its strength on the small screen.
[Chaoyang Project], just as its name suggests, is rising like the morning sun.
But the Xu brothers were in trouble.
Another S-level project failed.
Everyone was wondering what was wrong with them.
In fact, perhaps because the influence of these two TV series was so great, some viewers paid attention to the production company, the Xu brothers, and began to wonder if they had started to produce only bad movies.
However, perhaps to dispel everyone's doubts, the Xu brothers suddenly took action.
They directly followed Chen Yan's publicity model and began to buy channels and media on a massive scale to promote their next project, "Magic City Fortress".
The publicity was so strong that no other film could match it except the one directed by their company's partner Director Zhang.
This kind of publicity with unparalleled confidence, coupled with the remaining glory of the Xu brothers, made many people a little skeptical for a while: Could it be that... the two previous works of the Xu brothers were just testing the waters?
Their finale work is actually "Magic City Fortress"?
A great science fiction movie.
Have there been any popular science fiction movies in China?
It seems not.
So... the Xu brothers are aiming to establish their own school?
In addition, the leading actor of "The Fortress of Devil City" is a top traffic star with many fans.
Who knows, it might really become a big hit?
For a moment, everyone began to wait and see.
Meanwhile, while the Xu brothers were busy with all sorts of things, Qindao and Chenlu Pictures were also holding celebration parties.
Two consecutive film and television dramas were huge hits and made a lot of money, which was enough for all companies to celebrate.
At the celebration party, Chen Yan generously took out 20 million in cash and distributed it to the employees.
With the development in the past two years, the film and television company has grown to about 200 people, which means that each person can get 100,000 yuan.
This is just the bonus given by Chen Yan himself.
Project performance, project dividends, and year-end bonuses have not yet been calculated.
Lu Man, the company's leading star and executive director, and Zhao Xiaogu, the actress who became an overnight sensation with the drama "Flower Shallow Bone", also came to the scene and interacted with the employees.
Therefore, this celebration banquet was held in a lively and joyful manner.
The celebration banquet was held at the Gemini Hotel. After the banquet, Chen Yan invited Yang Rou to sit upstairs.
Yang Rou did not refuse and followed Chen Yan to the sky garden on the 7th floor.
The sky garden is usually not open to the public, so there are not many people.
The two of them came to the chairs at the railing and sat down, staring at the brightly lit night scene outside in a daze.
Since the second day of the mother-daughter activity, Yang Rou has changed significantly. She seems to be no longer so resistant to Chen Yan, and she no longer keeps her distance from him.
Although nothing had happened with Chen Yan, there was clearly a spark between the two of them.
During this period of time, Chen Yan has been trying to understand what happened between the mother and daughter that night, but even when he used the [Inner Earphones], he did not get the results he wanted.
So, taking advantage of the fact that both of them had been drinking tonight, Chen Yan wanted to tentatively ask what had happened that day.
Thinking of this, he slowly said, "Sister Rou. I remember that more than a month ago, you and Nuannuan went out for activities."
"What did you do that day?"
Hearing Chen Yan's question, Yang Rou smoothed her hair and put it behind her back. Then she smiled coldly, "Mr. Chen, are you so curious about what happened that night?"
Chen Yan denied it, "I'm not curious. I just asked casually."
Yang Rou asked back, "If I remember correctly, you asked me this at least twice during this period."
"Besides, it's been so long. If you weren't really curious, why would you ask?"
Chen Yan stopped talking.
Yang Rou glanced at him.
The cool night breeze ruffled her hair.
She spoke slowly, "Nothing happened."
"My mother and I just went to have a meal together."
She said with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, "I haven't gone out to eat with Nuannuan for a long time."
"In the past, I always pursued my career. I wanted to take my career to the next level."
“A lot of things were overlooked.”
"For example, family affection. For example, love."
She paused and said, "We talked a lot that night."
"She said I should live for myself. I shouldn't look ahead and behind. I shouldn't put so much energy into my career."
"As a woman, you should have your own family and your own love."
Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou, and there was a smile in Yang Rou's eyes.
"In the past, I actually had some feminist thinking. I thought, why should women be inferior to men? What men can do, we can do too."
"If men can do a good job, we women can do it well too."
"If men can make good movies, we women can make them too."
"If men can succeed in their careers, we women can also succeed in our careers."
"Now that I think about it, career is not the most important ."
“The most important thing is the people around you.”
Chen Yan was silent for a while, then asked, "So... you came to your senses after that day?"
Yang Rou nodded.
She leaned her hands on the chair behind her back, looked up at the sky, and said, "Yes. I came to my senses later."
"I have a crush on you. I kind of like you."
“That’s the truth.”
After hearing what Yang Rou said, Chen Yan was stunned.
He looked at Yang Rou and opened his mouth several times. He had never expected that Yang Rou would confess at this time.
But Yang Rou looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I think... you should have known it a long time ago, right?"
I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol, but Chen Yan always feels that Yang Rou in front of him is a little hazy.
In the moonlight, it seemed covered with a faint, blurry veil.
He nodded.
"I have a little guess."
Yang Rou lowered her head and smiled.
She laughed a lot tonight.
Chen Yan looked at her and asked carefully, "So you...so what have you been doing this month..."
Yang Rou followed his words and said, "Why have I been so hot and cold towards you in the past month?"
Chen Yan nodded vigorously, "Yes."
Yang Rou blinked at Chen Yan and said, "I face my feelings, but that doesn't mean I want to be with you."
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped Chen Yan's chest, "You are such a playboy. Who would dare to interfere in your affairs?"
"You should first sort out the relationships with the people around you, then talk about it."
Chen Yan made it clear.
So this is the crux of the problem.
No wonder I always feel like something is weird.
At this time, Yang Rou's gaze was a little distant.
She seemed to have returned to that night when she and Yang Nuannuan had finished their meal and walked side by side on the beach of Qindao.
At that time, Yang Nuannuan asked Yang Rou, "Mom, do you like Chen Yan?"
Although when Yang Nuannuan asked her out, Yang Rou knew that tonight would be the first time the mother and daughter would talk about Chen Yan.
But when I heard my daughter ask this question so directly.
She still felt a little embarrassed.
What she didn't expect was that before she even spoke, Yang Nuannuan said, "Actually, I like Chen Yan, too."
"I know how you feel."
"He is so outstanding and mysterious. He seems to have an incomparable attraction to women."
Hearing her daughter's frank words, Yang Rou couldn't help but stop and look at her. She felt even more embarrassed.
Because this is actually a scandal.
The mother and daughter fell in love with the same person at the same time.
What is this?!
