518: Chapter 518 I Want Them All
Lin Chuyan's seven consecutive concerts in Seoul finally concluded successfully amidst the waves of fans shouting "Oppa." After the show, he promised the fans he would definitely return before planning his trip back.
However, humans are social animals after all. The Korean media had been contacting him repeatedly through the concert organizers, hoping to conduct an interview. Before the concerts started, he could use rehearsals as an excuse to decline social engagements, but now that the performances were over, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Although he could have just ignored them and left, the media had been quite polite to him these past few days, giving him plenty of face. If he just left like that, it would seem quite impolite. Thinking about how his next few movies would also be released there, all things considered, he had the organizers arrange a small media meet-and-greet.
The reporters' questions weren't deliberately difficult; perhaps it was because both sides had maintained a friendly relationship, or perhaps they knew how uncomfortable the Los Angeles reporters had been made by Lin Chuyan's retorts, so they didn't dare to ask for trouble in front of him.
Reporter: "May I ask Mr. Lin Chuyan, are there any plans to hold concerts in Seoul in the future?"
Reply: "This tour was mainly to give back to the fans who have been silently supporting me. In the future, my work focus should still return to the film industry. However, my starring films 'la la land' and 'new police story' will both be released here, and I should come over to promote the new movies then."
Reporter: "During this trip to Seoul, was there anything special that left a deep impression on you?"
Reply: "I've basically been busy with work these past few days. I have five more concerts waiting for me back home in a few days, so I really haven't had time to go sightseeing. However, the enthusiasm of the Seoul fans really left a deep impression on me. I want to take this opportunity to thank them again for their support. Also, I want to tell the fans: please remember to live well and study hard, because your own life is the most important thing."
Yanzi still didn't forget his original intention, always keeping in mind to make the fans study hard.
Subsequently, the questions gradually became gossipy, and Lin Chuyan patiently answered some of them. Once time was up, the half-hour meet-and-greet concluded.
Besides the media meet-and-greet, he also met with a director of an entertainment company and a group of girl group members.
Meeting the director was relatively relaxed; the two sides just exchanged pleasantries, added each other on WeChat, and discussed the possibility of future cooperation.
But facing the girl group members, he really couldn't handle it. First impression: everyone had a great figure. Second impression: he couldn't tell who was who at all. And, Yanzi was once again drowned in shouts of "Oppa." Fortunately, he stood firm and didn't lose himself. A strange thought even popped into his mind at an inappropriate time: If Big Brother were here, he would surely be very happy... No, wait, Big Brother must have experienced similar scenes before...
Ending his travels in a foreign land, Lin Chuyan embarked on the journey home.
He was still alone at home because Ruan Xingyu was away on a business trip. There were many events at the end of the year, and it was said that after she finished attending the events, she had to go to the Magic City to try on a wedding dress. As for photos of the wedding dress, Lin Chuyan hadn't seen a single one to this day.
He didn't plan to rest either; he put down his luggage and went out again—this time to check the rough cut of 'la la land' and the completed special effects.
As the director, if he didn't participate, the editing work couldn't proceed smoothly. However, there shouldn't be any major problems; after all, before he left, he had already given detailed instructions on many edit points. The same applied to the special effects; they had fully communicated about the desired effects beforehand.
The editor was even more excited to see Lin Chuyan than seeing his own father.
"Teacher Lin Chuyan! You've finally come! Please, have a seat! Come, let's see what needs to be changed?"
Lin Chuyan didn't drag it out, and the two started watching the film in the small room.
After watching it once, they immediately started reviewing it again and began making changes. The editor finally felt reassured: as long as it could be changed, it was fine; the scariest thing was not knowing how to change it.
Lin Chuyan also finally felt relieved: the overall situation was good, the things that needed changing were just minor issues, and the special effects were even better than he expected. With this, the progress could move forward a bit more.
Both were in a good mood, so naturally, they had the inclination to chat idly.
"Teacher Lin Chuyan, 'la la land'... is a bit awesome..."
The editor had watched, reviewed, and edited it repeatedly these past few days; honestly, he was almost sick of looking at it, but he still had to admit that this film was truly badass.
"Hahaha, just a bit?"
The editor thought to himself that he was afraid of making him proud, but he still lowered his noble head in front of the client: "I feel like this film could win awards."
Lin Chuyan stood up and patted the other person's arm: "One week, can you finish the changes?"
"That's enough, if it's just this level of changes."
"Very good!"
Lin Chuyan was very satisfied: in one week, his concert would also be over, just in time to take the final cut to find Boss Yang.
As the final stop of the entire "Soul Power" tour, Lin Chuyan naturally gave it his all, once again pouring all his energy into it.
However, on the third day of the concert, just as he was preparing to go home after it ended, Ruan Xingyu suddenly sent him several photos via WeChat.
Opening them, Yanzi was immediately incredibly excited.
Wedding dresses, it was wedding dresses!
Not only Western-style wedding dresses, but there was actually a Chinese-style phoenix coronet and robes?
Attached to the photos was a message from Ruan Xingyu: "I tried them on during the day. Two Western-style ones, one Chinese-style one. Which one do you think looks better?"
Good, good, good. Yanzi was so excited he almost didn't watch where he was going, and Xia Zhi had to tug at his clothes twice on the way to the parking lot to remind him to watch the road.
Getting into the car, he reopened the photos to admire them slowly.
The first one was a more modern-style wedding dress.
The classic round-neck design perfectly highlighted her slender neck, and her delicate collarbones were faintly visible under the neckline. Under the lights, her skin was as warm and smooth as mutton-fat jade, emitting a soft luster. The slim, straight skirt fell naturally from the waist, with simple and smooth lines, slightly flaring out at the hem, looking natural and elegant. She had loosely pinned up her long hair, with a few strands falling naturally on both sides of her cheeks, adding a touch of gentle and moving charm. The veil was as thin as a cicada's wing, falling gently from the top of her head and extending to the back of the skirt, full of dreaminess and liveliness.
The second wedding dress leaned towards a vintage style.
The overall color was ivory white, and the fabric was covered with delicate dark patterns. The lace patterns were intricate and exquisite, exuding a rich vintage charm. The lantern sleeves hung naturally from the shoulders, with tightened cuffs also decorated with lace, possessing a subtle beauty. The upper body fitted her figure, highlighting her slender waist, and the skirt below the waist fanned out in a large A-line, with layers of ruffles making her look radiant.
However, in Lin Chuyan's eyes, the best-looking one was the set of phoenix coronet and robes.
The bright red silk brocade with gold weaving was rich and vivid in color. The cross-collar top had pipa sleeves, with delicate ruyi cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs and collar, and the edges were inlaid with exquisite gold trim. The xiapei (cape) hung naturally from her shoulders like two golden streams, embroidered all over with peony patterns symbolizing auspiciousness and wealth. The most attractive part was the coronet; it was too complex and gorgeous for Lin Chuyan to describe in words. He only felt that Ruan Xingyu's makeup was exquisite, her lip color was like vermilion, and after putting it on, she looked full of noble aura.
Choose? Choose what?
Lin Chuyan typed back frantically: "I want them all!"
