Chapter 928: Just right, raw rice? Cooked rice?
Chen An had no plans in the afternoon, so after dinner he stayed at home with Da Meitao to watch TV and chat with her. Of course, the most important thing was to slowly get her used to this ambiguity.
Da Meitao was also very cooperative. Seeing Chen An shamelessly resting his head on her thighs, she decisively used both hands to press wildly on his head until he fell into a deep sleep. Only then did she relieve the depression in her heart!
It was not until the evening that Chen An woke up from his sleep. When he looked up, he saw Da Meitao sleeping soundly with her chin supported by one hand. The only pity was that she didn't drool, otherwise she would have been like Doudou and left a black history!
"Yeah, you're awake."
"You didn't even wake me up. Are you exhausted?"
"No!" Yang Tao looked out the window. It was already dark. "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat tonight."
"I've made an appointment with Jiao Yang to get to know the crew tonight and chat about some things!"
"Well, then, will you come back to stay at night?"
Chen An looked embarrassed, and after a while he sighed, "Taozi, I don't think I am Liu Xiahui. I can always hold back my inner impulses while holding a beauty like you, but are you really ready to face everything?"
Yang Tao really wanted to say that she was ready, but when she looked into Chen An's eyes, she swallowed the words back in an instant!
"I am too possessive and a little petty. You are not my woman yet. I can understand some things from a rational point of view, but once... anyone who stops me is my enemy!!"
Yang Tao was very annoyed. She understood what Chen An meant. Although Director Xue didn't say anything clearly in the morning, with this guy's intelligence, he must have felt it. The reason why he restrained his desire was that he didn't want to put himself in a dilemma!
Feeling Da Meitao's soft red lips, Mr. Chen was stiff for a few seconds at first, then he began to respond, and after a while his hands started to become dishonest!
Yang Tao felt a little guilty and wanted to compensate the little man who protected her, so she acquiesced to his actions! !
The experienced driver naturally knew how to seize the opportunity. Feeling that Da Meitao was aroused and her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, he decisively pushed Yang Tao away!
"Hey, I, I'm going to wash my face!!"
Watching Chen An's flustered movements, the expression on Yang Tao's face changed from confusion and loss to a smug smile. "You little bastard, let's see how long you can endure this. No matter what the future holds, the matter has to be done now!"
He looked down at his palm and gestured secretly. When he thought about the huge amount of investment he would receive in the future, he felt a little excited and expectant...
After washing his face with cold water, Chen An couldn't help feeling depressed. If this woman keeps her hands dirty, she will suffer the consequences next time!
When Chen An and Jiao Yang arrived at the restaurant entrance, the crew was already waiting there, three men and four women. Apart from Director Liu, the other two men were probably the producer and the screenwriter.
As for those women, Chen An had also read their information. The leader was a popular first-line star and also the heroine of the drama. The other three also played different roles in the drama.
There is never a shortage of beautiful women in this world, but unfortunately Chen An is not interested in these women.
After a simple introduction and greeting, Hong entered the box surrounded by the crowd. Chen An did not hesitate to sit in the main seat. As for whether anyone would be dissatisfied, Chen An really didn't care.
The entertainment industry is a huge world of fame and fortune. Whoever has the ability to make people make money and become famous will be worshipped as a ancestor. Chen An is not only a financial sponsor, but also has resources in his hands. It is conceivable how dynamic it is for these people.
As for Jiao Yang's identity, no one was surprised. Chen An's suggestion was already implicit. Some even went so far as to directly assign him to a financial position. After all, there were so many ways to make money in filming. The props and venue fees, and even the lunch boxes of the crew could make a fortune.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, we finally got down to business...
"Mr. Chen, I was drinking with some old friends a few days ago, and we talked about you. Several friends praised you very much, especially the work "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality". Two of the old friends even had a dispute over it!"
Hearing the producer's words, Chen An smiled faintly and asked, "I wonder what the dispute is about?"
"My two good friends have their own strengths and have experienced the filming of many ancient costume fantasy films, but one of them is more optimistic about the future of the animation market. Although the domestic industry has been booming in the past two years, it is still far behind Hollywood in terms of technology. Some works will be wasted because of this!"
Upon hearing this, I became very interested in this person. After all, in the next few years, the popularity of animation will even exceed that of the film and television drama market. Moreover, the most important point is that there are more ways to make money from producing animation, and all kinds of peripheral licensing fees can make a lot of money!
Just as he said, many excellent works are very popular when made into animations, but after being adapted into TV series, they are somewhat disappointing. The reason is still technical problems.
"Mr. Wang, I am still very optimistic about the future of the animation market. After all, technology changes life. Mobile phones are updated and iterated quickly, and their functions are becoming more comprehensive. People's lifestyles and entertainment methods are becoming more diverse. The animation market, film market, and TV drama market will all benefit greatly from this!"
"Mr. Chen really has a unique vision. I'm sure my good friend will be very happy to hear about it!" As for introducing the two parties to each other, he did not say much. After all, this requires the premise of cooperation.
In Shuxiang Yayuan, after Chen An left, Yang Tao was alone and very bored. She wanted to have a casual dinner, but she actually received a call from her cousin Su Qing.
Yang Tao naturally knew the reason why her cousin came to find her. At home, Su Qing and Duan Xifeng played the role of mediator and liked to smooth things over. Duan Xifeng, in particular, was a complete sycophant at home. There was no way to make the yin stronger than the yang, and he was also a dutiful and filial person.
Soon there was a knock on the door and Yang Tao walked over and opened it.
"Taozi, why did you move in here? I just went to your house and found that the door lock had been changed."
"Sister, come in first and talk!"
Su Qing changed her shoes and walked in. After a quick look, she found that the decoration of this house was much better than her own. It was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on it. This kind of house was most likely not rented.
"What are you drinking, sis?"
"Boiled water will do. Taozi, stop being busy. I came to you for something important."
Yang Tao put down the water cup and sat next to Su Qing, her tone still a little depressed, "What did Director Xue ask you to convey?"
Su Qing couldn't help but smile, "Why are you still angry with your aunt?"
"Sister, please judge for me. She doesn't understand anything and just disagrees and denies my choice. I'm not a child anymore. Even if I was blind about what happened with Li Wei before, do I have to be blind forever?"
"Or because one relationship is unreliable, she denies all relationships, and then follows her wishes, finds an old man to marry, and lives a boring life every day."
Su Qing quickly patted Yang Tao's hand to comfort her, "Auntie is impatient and may not have thought carefully before speaking, but she is definitely doing this for your own good!"
"Sister, I know this. No mother would deliberately cheat her daughter. But what if she is wrong? I will have to live my future life by myself. What should I do then?"
"But there is such a big difference between you two, can you really be happy in the future? Taozi, you have to understand that whether it is an old man and a young wife, or vice versa, most of them don't have a good ending."
Yang Tao knew it in her heart, but as a human being, she always had a sense of luck. Why couldn't she be an accident?
"Sister, I understand what you said, but there is one thing I know even more clearly. I will go on the path and the person I choose even if I have to kneel down. I will swallow the bitter fruit myself. But if this choice is made by someone else, even if it is my own mother, the result will only be worse!"
After hearing Yang Tao's words, Su Qing knew that persuading her at this time would not have any effect at all. No matter if it was because she was being too stubborn or their relationship had really reached that point, if she wanted to effectively stop it, she had to understand it first.
"I support you on this point. Only the parties involved know clearly about emotional matters. Tell me about him. What kind of young man is he? He can make our Taozi so infatuated that he even dares to confront Auntie!"
Being teased by Su Qing, Yang Tao was a little embarrassed, but this was exactly her purpose. Su Qing came to gather information, and she actually wanted to use him to express her feelings for Chen An and her determination. If possible, she didn't want to make things a fait accompli!
Yang Tao recounted the story of how she met Chen An, including their interactions and recent events, adding some exaggerations to the story.
Su Qing was surprised at first, but then her face changed drastically when she heard that. No matter whether it was that beast Li Wei who went to the hotel to cause trouble or who later intercepted her cousin.
Especially yesterday's encounter with a perverted pervert. If Chen An hadn't happened to ask his cousin to go out and play, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He would have been lucky to be insulted. The biggest possibility was that his life was in danger. After all, there have been too many similar news reports.
"Taozi, with so many things happening, why didn't you tell your family? What if someone really targeted you? What would your aunt do if something happened to you?"
"It's okay, sister. This is the place he arranged for me to live. My safety is guaranteed."
"Or else..."
Yang Tao interrupted directly, "I won't go back these few days. The ideas engraved in my bones can't be changed overnight."
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh. From her cousin's perspective, she didn't quite support Yang Tao's risk-taking. After all, a woman's youth is limited, and thirty-two years old is the last tail of youth. If she can't grasp it, she will really be an older leftover woman, and she won't have many good choices in the future.
But from a woman's perspective, if there is such a man around her and they both have feelings for each other, if she gives up without giving it a try, she may regret it for the rest of her life...
"Taozi, I won't say much about your relationship with him. After all, it's up to you to experience the joy and pain. But you have to understand that we are a family. No matter what happens, don't always carry it alone. If your aunt is not feeling well, you can tell me and your brother-in-law!"
"Thank you, sis!"
"You're talking nonsense again!"
"By the way, sister, you must not have eaten yet. There are vegetables in the refrigerator. Eat before going back."
"Okay, Xifeng happens to be working overtime today, so I'll ask him to pick me up later!"
Meanwhile, Chen An was a little depressed to find that he seemed to have become a fat sheep in everyone's eyes. After President Wang, everyone started to strike up a conversation with him and build relationships with him, introducing all kinds of outstanding projects and showing off their connections. Some even asked him directly for advice on the script and how to portray the characters!
Of course, these people are not stupid and will not join in the fun with some junk projects. After all, with a powerful financier like Chen An, there is no one who does not want long-term cooperation. If they only want to do a one-time deal, they are destined to only hurt themselves.
Jiao Yang's situation is a little awkward, not because of his identity, but mainly because he is still in the social circle. Everyone can see Jiao Yang's attributes at a glance!
Of course, what depressed Jiao Yang the most was Chen An's popularity. The expressions of those women, who seemed to want to eat him alive, made him speechless. He also began to worry about his best friend. The competitive pressure was too great and Taozi had no advantage at all.
In the bar, Lan Weiwei was holding a glass of juice, listening to exciting music, and chasing away the man who had approached her so many times that she couldn't remember the first time.
I couldn't help but sigh softly, and even couldn't help but laugh at myself. I knew it was impossible, but I couldn't help but have naive thoughts. In such a vast sea of people, how could there be any fate? Others were just waiting for the rabbit to come to them, so what was I? Looking for a needle in a haystack?
At the door of the bar, Chen An walked straight to the bar counter and determined Lan Weiwei's position with the corner of his eye.
After the drinking party, Chen An originally planned to return to the hotel to continue training Yang Zixi. Unexpectedly, Chen Hao received news about Lan Weiwei. It was still the bar where they met before, drinking juice alone.
With her mentality, it is impossible that she is here to pick up rich men. Even if she is bored, she would not choose this place. The answer is very clear.
This saved Chen An the trouble and he could return to the Magic City as soon as possible to deal with the New Year. After all, compared to other people, he had a rather stressful New Year.
After ordering a glass of wine, Chen An took out his mobile phone and adjusted the camera angle to observe Lan Weiwei's situation. The angle was just right. When she was about to leave, it would be the time for him to take action.
He waited for more than two hours for a glass of juice. When he looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Lan Weiwei sighed. Either he had made a wrong judgment, or it just happened that he didn't come today. After all, even if he was a second-generation rich boy, it was impossible for him to hang out in nightclubs every day!
