Chapter 499: Just Be So Arrogant
In the office, Lu Man looked like he was constipated.
Looking at the top of the Weibo post, which really had his own name and avatar, Lu Man didn't know what to say.
She looked at the Weibo post again.
As a result, I was surprised to find that not only did Chen Yan post on Weibo, but he also added a "struggle" emoticon at the end of the text.
This... is exactly the expression that Lu Man is most used to making.
In other words...the Weibo posts by Chen Yan even captured her habits very well.
Lu Man couldn't help but look at Chen Yan, and opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to express it.
Finally… all the words turned into one sentence, "Chen Yan… you are really becoming more and more experienced in being a bad person."
Hearing Lu Man's complaints, the other two women in the room couldn't help but laugh.
Just now, Sister Meili and Yang Rou actually noticed the number that Chen Yan used to post on Weibo, so they had such strange expressions on their faces.
At that time, their thoughts were similar to Lu Man's, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.
Now, Lu Man spoke out their real thoughts, and they felt inexplicably refreshed.
However, in the face of Lu Man's "accusation", Chen Yan said nonchalantly, "I'm doing this for your own good, Manman."
"Think about it. Your external persona is the boss of the company. If our company declares war, you will definitely be the one to come."
"If I use my own account to post, won't your image collapse?"
“What will others think of you?”
Chen Yan also started to play around, and even deliberately pinched his throat and imitated other people's words, "Ah. That Lu Man . It must be a personality. It's just an advertisement. If you want to talk about who is in charge, you still have to look at Chen Yan and Yang Rou from Chenlu Pictures."
Lu Man thought about it for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense."
Chen Yan smiled and clapped his hands, "Right~"
“So, I must use your account to post it.”
"and……"
He coughed and added, "I don't have many followers on my account. No one reads it."
"!!?" Lu Man came back to his senses and stared at Chen Yan, "This is the real reason!!"
"Hahaha." Chen Yan smiled but did not answer.
When the two were playing, it was not convenient for Sister Meili and Yang Rou to interrupt.
Now that the two of them had played around, they started talking to each other.
Yang Rou said to Chen Yan with a serious expression, "Mr. Chen, your approach... is a little irrational."
"You've put us in a difficult position."
“If the results are not satisfactory, it will be difficult to step down.”
She is a relatively rational woman.
When Chen Yan posted on Weibo, she felt it was inappropriate.
However, she also knew that Chen Yan had already sent the message, and it would be useless even if she snatched the phone and deleted it.
That's why she waited calmly for Chen Yan and Lu Man to finish their interaction before she spoke up to remind Chen Yan of the consequences.
After she finished speaking, Sister Meili also sighed and continued, "Yes. That's right, Mr. Chen. This kind of information will really have a great impact on Lu Man."
"If it works, maybe she'll become famous overnight. Most of the glory of 'Wandering Planet' will also belong to her."
“Whenever anyone mentions this movie, they will talk about Manman’s rage and the gambling incident on Weibo.”
"Then I was impressed by her confidence and the credit she brought to the film."
"but……"
"If it doesn't work."
Sister Meili looked at Lu Man with sympathy, "It seems I need to prepare an insulated iron pot in advance."
Lu Man: ...
“Ahhhh!”
Lu Man was also a little crazy.
She didn't expect that the trouble would eventually happen to her. She was indeed unhappy with the Xu brothers, but... she was just unhappy.
It's not to the point of ruining one's own star path.
Seeing her like that, Sister Meili patted her gently and said, "I was just kidding. Manman."
"It's not that serious actually."
"Your character is here. Even if you fail, it's actually a good publicity."
"When the time comes, the worst that can happen is we can just do some crisis public relations."
After hearing what they said, Chen Yan coughed and said, "I say, shouldn't you guys have some confidence in me?"
"When have I ever been wrong?"
After hearing Chen Yan's words, the women gradually calmed down.
They couldn't help but recall Chen Yan's "battle record".
Indeed, Chen Yan has never failed since he started his business.
In the film and television industry, his vision is even sharper than Yang Rou's.
All the projects he was optimistic about were successful.
but……
Even so, the three women still didn't quite believe it, and this time Chen Yan could prove his vision.
This is like a trader who has never failed in stock trading and has made 100 million yuan from 100 yuan.
And in the new project, he made 10 billion, far exceeding everyone else's earnings.
As a result, he said that he could make another 10 billion from his next project.
This...how can anyone believe it?
After all, sometimes, the ceiling of the industry does not depend solely on ability, but on the right time, place and people, all of which are indispensable.
Just like "Dying to Survive", its success was accidental and cannot be replicated.
Even the director, actors and company don’t know how to get such a high box office.
Finally, Chen Yan said that he could still do it.
How can anyone believe this?
So, the three women looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Finally, it was Yang Rou who spoke first, "I will go back and supervise the post-production of Wandering Planet first. I want to avoid going on business trips."
Sister Meili also said, "I'll also take a look at Lu Man's Weibo controversy and see if I can do anything."
Lu Man, "I..."
"Chen Yan. Let's have a good chat!"
After Yang Rou and Meili left.
Lu Man closed the door angrily, then came to Chen Yan, sat on Chen Yan's legs, tightly clamped Chen Yan's waist, looked at Chen Yan with a pair of beautiful almond eyes, and asked, "Chen Yan. You really don't want to hurt me, right?"
Chen Yan held her buttocks with one hand and scratched her nose with the other hand, and asked, "Why would I harm you?"
Lu Man pouted and rolled her eyes, "Maybe you're attracted to another female star and want to flatter her. So you want to get me out of here."
Chen Yan, "Just read out Zhao Xiaogu's ID card. You two are the only female artists with names in the company."
"Okay! You really think so." Lu Man's face turned into a bun with anger.
Chen Yan smiled and pinched it, "What are you thinking about."
"How could I be interested in someone else's woman? You are my baby."
Lu Man was not fooled by Chen Yan's sweet words. She counted on her fingers, "Me, Qiaoqiao, Zhao Ying, He Mengxue, Yang Rou..."
After hearing what Lu Man said before, Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little flustered.
Then……
He heard Lu Man continue to count on his fingers, "Sister Meili, Sister Fenghuang, Song Chuang, Cheng Tianxiang..."
Chen Yan: ? ?
"Those guys behind are going too far."
"Great! As expected, Zhao Ying, He Mengxue, and Sister Rou are all like this!" Lu Man looked at Chen Yan with a sly smile, as if she had caught Chen Yan's mistake in his speech.
Seeing that he was exposed, Chen Yan quickly waved his hands, "No, no. I was wrong."
Seeing Chen Yan's flustered look, Lu Man rolled her eyes and said with an expression of letting go of everything, "Your love is like a flyer, everyone has a share."
"Who knows how many women you have found in private."
"But I don't care."
"Anyway, I'm not your real girlfriend."
"I can't even take the moral high ground."
Seeing Lu Man's grievance, Chen Yan reached out and held her hand.
He was about to say something, but Lu Man interrupted him and said, "Don't be sentimental or make promises again."
"Those things are fake until they are actually realized."
"I just wanted to ask you..."
Lu Man's expression gradually became serious. She looked at Chen Yan and asked softly, "Are you really confident this time?"
"If you mess up if you play like this, I'll be really finished."
Chen Yan pointed three fingers at his face and said, "I swear, it's really okay."
Lu Man gently stretched out her soft body, hugged Chen Yan softly, and whispered, "Then I will believe you."
"Anyway...you gave me all this."
"If I lose, the worst that can happen is that I'll go back to Shanghai, find a job, work from nine to five, and be pretty happy."
"If I meet a handsome guy on another blind date, I'll piss you off to death. Hehehe."
Hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan angrily slapped her buttocks, "You actually still want to find a handsome guy?!"
"Is it that I can't lift the knife anymore, or that I can't move my waist?"
Lu Man herself has a masochistic physique. When Chen Yan patted her like this, her cheeks suddenly turned red and she looked at Chen Yan with affectionate eyes.
When she heard Chen Yan's words, she giggled and twisted her body twice, "I think you can't do either of these two~~"
"Hiss!" Chen Yan sucked in a breath. Men can't stand being told they can't do it, so he picked up Lu Man as she cried out, and said, "Okay. Then I'll show you if I can do it!"
After closing the office door, the young man and woman who had not seen each other for a long time began their familiar exploration of each other's "copy"...
…
While Chen Yan and Lu Man were "laughing and talking happily", the internet was in an uproar because of Chen Yan and Lu Man.
Just like Chen Yan said: He has too few followers on Weibo, so posting this kind of news declaration of war will not have much effect. But Lu Man is different.
As one of the few top stars in the country, as one of the few first-line female stars in the entertainment industry, as an actress, female producer, and female boss who has just become popular again with "Dying to Survive".
Lu Man's influence on the entire Internet is enormous.
So her Weibo post directly set off the entire Weibo community.
Regardless of whether you are her fan or not, or whether you follow her or not, when she made such an "arrogant" declaration of war, everyone immediately went to Weibo to watch the show.
As a result, Weibo crashed within a short period of time and many people were unable to open the Weibo app.
The programmers at Weibo also stepped up to repair the server six minutes later, temporarily increasing the bandwidth and memory, which allowed the onlookers to enjoy the fresh melon.
As the Weibo account was repaired, the data of Lu Man’s Weibo post began to rise exponentially.
Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand…
In just a dozen minutes, the number of people who retweeted, commented on, and liked this Weibo post exceeded 30,000.
In less than half an hour, the number of people interacting in the three ways reached 70,000.
Moreover, it is still continuing to rise.
Among these comments, the most popular ones are:
"Sister is so domineering."
"Sister Man is awesome. Sister Man spoke my mind!"
“Although I don’t know how The Wandering Planet will turn out, I will definitely go and support it. Not for anything else, but because I can’t stand the way the Xu brothers look down on domestic films.”
"Hmm...am I the only one who wants to watch Lu Man stew himself in an iron pot?"
It must be said that although the Xu brothers occupied the moral high ground in their propaganda a few days ago, and used righteousness to make it impossible for netizens to refute, the public's eyes are sharp. Everyone knows that the Xu brothers are looking for excuses and evading.
But... they didn't know how to refute it.
And now, someone finally stood up to refute, and of course they started cheering as if they had found an organization.
Moreover, the most feared thing about this kind of online verbal war is that someone will say "If you can do it, come on." Then it will fall into the vicious circle of "who is more idle and bored".
But Lu Man is different.
She is not only a first-line female star in the circle, but also the boss of a large company throughout the year. She is also one of the leading actors in "Dying to Survive", a movie that broke the box office record of domestic films.
So, once she said this, it was like the final word, hitting the Xu brothers on the head.
Shocked by Lu Man's arrogance and confidence, netizens also commented, forwarded, and liked the post in support.
However, compared to the cheers and encouragement from netizens, the opinions of insiders in the entertainment industry are somewhat different.
"Is Lu Man crazy? Another 4 billion movie? Then she'll be the only actress in the industry with a 10 billion box office. Does she think she's a god?"
"Yes. Besides, 'Dying to Survive' has already received high praise and box office. Wouldn't it be better to just keep quiet and make a fortune? Why do you have to make such a fuss? You'll die if you don't make news."
"There are too many unexpected factors in the 4 billion box office of "Dying to Survive". The domestic film market is simply not that big. Lu Man must have been getting carried away recently."
Because of the huge success of "Dying to Survive", Lu Man's status in the entertainment industry has been greatly improved, but there are also many people who are envious and jealous of him.
They knew Lu Man's development history very well, so they were even more dissatisfied with Lu Man's achievements.
"Lu Man just relied on the two greats Chen Yan and Yang Rou. It's nothing special. And even if it's Chen Yan and Yang Rou, there's no guarantee that they can make another movie with a box office of 4 billion."
"I really want to see Lu Man fall. She has been so successful in the past few years."
"I know Lu Man. She has always been very arrogant. She was lucky to have "Dying to Survive". If she can have another movie with such a high box office, I will stand on my head and eat shit."
No matter what, whether it was positive news or negative news, Chen Yan had already helped Lu Man to spread the news, so there was no way to salvage the situation.
Everyone is waiting for the moment when "The Wandering Planet" is released, wanting to see whether someone will live broadcast eating shit upside down, or whether Lu Man will stew himself in an iron pot...
…
At this time, in Qindao, Fenghua Building, Chen Yan’s office.
After having sex with Lu Man for a few times, Lu Man left Chen Yan's office satisfied.
Before leaving, she also asked Chen Yan to go home and fight again tonight.
It has to be said that as he grows older, Lu Man's ability to endure becomes stronger and his fighting ability becomes stronger.
After fighting with her, Chen Yan was also very satisfied, and he felt so proud and happy that he shouted: "Five hundred more rounds!"
However, it is working hours after all, so Chen Yan cannot waste too much time. He can only temporarily suspend the fight with her and continue the fight in the evening.
After seeing Lu Man off, Chen Yan sat on the sofa and rested for a while.
Then he came to the safe.
Opening the safe, Chen Yan took out a dozen photos.
These photos are all valuable projects taken by Chen Yan using Xiao Ha's Polaroid camera.
And the top photo of these photos is a document titled "Wandering Planet Project Plan".
Chen Yan picked up the photo and turned to the back to look at it.
【Movie: "Wandering Planet"】
Star rating: six stars.
Box office: 5 billion+
Evaluation: A cross-era work in the domestic film market. It combines the film industry with patriotism. It is perfectly integrated with the collective moral values and values . It is a rare masterpiece.
When Chen Yan was selecting projects for the Chaoyang Project, he was also extremely shocked when he discovered this film with a Polaroid camera.
Because this film's reviews and box office are higher than "Dying to Survive".
This made Chen Yan doubt his luck: This luck is too good. He actually dug up two big hit movies in one go.
However, this also made him pretend to be so cool today.
Now, the reason why Chen Yan took out this photo paper to look at it was that he wanted to confirm that his pretentious behavior did not affect the box office of "The Wandering Planet".
After all, he suddenly felt like showing off and didn't think too much about it. He just felt that there would be no problem.
If it really affected this epoch-making work, he would have to commit seppuku to apologize.
Fortunately, there was no change on the back of the photo paper.
It even increased by 400 million compared to the original 4.6 billion+.
Sure enough...the gimmick is useful.
Just as Chen Yan was thinking this, suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Chen Yan put down the photo and put it back into the safe. Then he locked the safe and picked up his phone to look at it.
The phone displayed an unfamiliar number, which belonged to Tiandu.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.
He didn't have many friends in Tiandu. Just Song Chuang and Jiang Xiaoyun. But Chen Yan had both of their numbers saved.
So, whose number is this?
While thinking, Chen Yan answered the phone.
The call was connected, and a man's steady voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Xu Zhaorong, I believe you should know me..."
Chen Yan frowned deeply.
The eldest of the Xu brothers?
Why did he call himself?
Declare war? Or... make peace?
