485: Chapter 485 Director Yu's Genius Idea
Actually, right after the Spring Festival Gala ended last year, Director Yu had tried to invite Lin Chuyan, but the latter didn't agree, so Director Yu had been thinking about how to bring it up more appropriately.
Ever since he heard that Lin Chuyan's marriage proposal was successful, a brand-new idea appeared in Director Yu's mind. He couldn't stop thinking about it, and the more he thought, the more he felt it would definitely succeed.
Lin Chuyan had originally thought that Director Yu would at most let him and Ruan Xingyu sing a love song together on stage, show some affection at the Spring Festival Gala, or something like that. Who knew it wouldn't be that simple.
The next day, Lin and Ruan didn't go anywhere. The two of them just stayed in bed, cuddling each other for the whole day.
When they were finally hungry and wanted to go out to find something to eat, it was as if Director Yu had timed it perfectly—the phone rang immediately.
Lin Chuyan was mentally prepared for this call. After picking up, he was just about to say something when the other party spoke first.
After simply congratulating Lin Chuyan on his successful marriage proposal, Director Yu got straight to the point.
One question completely stunned Lin Chuyan.
"Xiao Yan, have you ever thought about how you should hold your wedding?"
Lin Chuyan: "Huh?"
Brother, you're being a bit too nosy, aren't you?
Director Yu explained: "I mean, what if I could let you get married at the Spring Festival Gala?"
Lin Chuyan: "Huh?"
He didn't understand. What did it mean to let him get married at the Spring Festival Gala?
Director Yu explained more clearly: "What if you wore a suit, Teacher Ruan wore a wedding dress, and you sang a song together on stage..."
Lin Chuyan immediately followed up: "marry me today!"
"What do you mean?"
"A song I just finished writing."
"That's great! Then you have the song, don't you?"
"Wait, let me process this..."
Lin Chuyan always felt the scene described by the other party was a bit familiar. Where was it from?
He remembered. Didn't Nicholas Tse and Dong Jie do something similar in a past life? Although theirs was fake, when he saw Nicholas Tse holding Dong Jie's hand and singing 《Life Together》 when he was a child, he thought they were actually married...
Did Director Yu want him to do it for real?
The other party continued to tempt him: "Don't think about it, let's just settle on this! What other requests do you have? Feel free to bring them up. Not just the duet, I can also have the host wish you a harmonious union for a hundred years and early birth of a child."
Director Yu even started to imitate the tone of his good buddy, Zeng Jie, and it was quite vivid: "Next, this couple has known, understood, loved, and guarded each other, walked through wind and rain together, and now they have finally achieved a positive result and entered the hall of marriage. Let us invite Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu, wishing them a harmonious union for a hundred years and an early birth of a child!"
Director Yu felt he was truly a genius, especially with the "early birth of a child" part—this also implicitly aligned with the country's current policies.
Also, once this operation was out, the ratings for this year's Spring Festival Gala would be stable, the topic would be there, and his reputation as Director Yu would be completely established. It was definitely killing several birds with one stone.
Lin Chuyan, anyway, couldn't sit still anymore: "Is... is it really possible?"
"I am the director. If I say it's possible, then it is. Of course, the main thing is that this operation doesn't violate any regulations. How about it? Let the people of the whole country witness your love and your happiness at the Spring Festival Gala. Isn't this the best wedding? Look, those century weddings held by celebrities in the entertainment industry—to put it bluntly, isn't it just spending a lot of money to make it luxurious? Think about it yourself, which one can be considered a true century wedding? Xiao Yan, you definitely want to give Teacher Ruan the best wedding, right? Besides, this doesn't affect you inviting friends and family to hold another one later!"
A devil, this is simply a devil.
Who the hell could handle this! Especially for someone like Yanzi who likes to show off his affection.
Lin Chuyan even thought further: If he scheduled la la land for the Spring Festival Movie Season... then they would be showing off their affection at both the Spring Festival Gala and the Spring Festival Movie Season...
Lin Chuyan was tempted, completely tempted, but he didn't forget what his mom told him—this matter still required listening to his wife.
He had it on speakerphone, and Ruan Xingyu heard everything clearly.
Turning his head to look—Ruan Xingyu was nodding frantically!
Lin Chuyan knew what to do: "Director Yu, this is a great idea, I am very grateful. Then it's settled?"
"Alright, I'll call you when it's time for rehearsals. I know you're busy, so except for the final dress rehearsal and the recording of the backup tape, the other times can be arranged freely."
After hanging up the phone.
The young couple looked at each other, unable to stop smiling. They were originally planning how to hold the wedding, but they didn't expect it to be perfectly solved all at once.
Ruan Xingyu: "Director Yu has you completely figured out!"
Lin Chuyan: "Wasn't it you who was nodding your head like crazy just now?"
"Did I?"
So Lin Chuyan started to imitate her, even adding some details of an actor's performance, and the expression on his face looked very impatient.
Ruan Xingyu had nothing to say, so she changed the way she communicated with him: "Careful, I'll complain to Mom and say you bully me every day."
"What kind of bullying? The kind in bed?"
Lin Chuyan aimed at the moment she was about to strike, and when he was about to get beaten, he immediately changed the topic: "By the way, you can start picking out your wedding dress."
Ruan Xingyu's hand changed angle, lifted up, and touched his face: "Hee hee hee, okay, I will choose it myself. You don't need to follow and give suggestions for this."
Yeah, Yanzi likes to play like this, this is what you call being figured out.
After eating, the two went to Yanyu Film together.
Lin Chuyan didn't have much time; he was going on a business trip tomorrow, and Wu Yue called him to come over and take a look before getting off work.
The reason was simple: during the time Director Lin was filming in Hollywood, the company moved.
The original office locations for Lin Chuyan Studio, Yanyu Film, and the Yanyu Charity Foundation were in a park in the suburbs. It wasn't that it didn't work, but there were many problems.
First, it was too remote. He didn't mind, but for the employees, the commute was a bit too long, and it wasn't convenient for guests to visit.
Second, it was too crowded. As the business expanded and more people were hired, they really couldn't stay there.
This time, it was equivalent to moving everything to an office building in the city center, which felt quite prosperous.
Lin Chuyan was here to familiarize himself with the location.
"Brother Yue, which floor?"
"Two floors in total, the sixth and eighth floors are both ours. I'm waiting for you on the eighth floor."
"You really know how to choose numbers. With you in charge on the eighth floor, I can rest easy."
"Hahaha! Just wait at the parking lot elevator entrance, Xia Zhi is going down to pick you up."
This time it was the real boss and the boss's wife visiting.
Lin Chuyan practiced flat management on weekdays and was generous enough to the people below, often sending red envelopes in the group. The employees rarely saw him, so they called "Boss" and "Boss's wife" very enthusiastically.
Wu Yue introduced it to him as they walked.
"The eighth floor is reserved separately for the film industry side. Don't look at the many empty seats now, we will definitely continue to hire people later."
"This row is all meeting rooms. There is a separate place to show movies in the front, and a lounge further ahead."
"I redid your rehearsal room. It's soundproofed and connected to the gym, which is also on this floor, but it's on the right-hand side of the elevator. You can go take a look in a while."
Lin Chuyan was very satisfied, but he had another idea: "Brother, I'm going to Chengdu tomorrow. If the conversation goes well, we might need to register another company."
"You mean... an animation company?"
Lin Chuyan nodded.
If the other party was really the person he thought of, then it must not just be a one-time cooperation. The best approach was to establish a new company and completely pull him over to become one of his own people.
