Chapter 17: Domination routine

"It just so happened that we chatted for a while about the change in the attitude of the hero, Xiaojun. You can also listen to it and see if there is anything wrong. Chengan, you can continue to talk about your understanding."

Lou Qiao quickly returned to the topic, and a group of people re-entered the script.

There were also disagreements on the way. Yu Xing looked at Yan Chengan and said his understanding and ideas in a gentle but reasonable way. The director and screenwriter frowned and asked him to simulate the scene and character status directly in the box. Yan Chengan also said it. just come.

The protagonist Xiaojun, a cowardly, inferior but also kind and eager for light, is pushed into the abyss step by step by the people and the environment around him, and finally becomes a murderer who kills several people in a row and is feared by the media.

Such a person, after a series of tragic events in the past, his mentality and spirit have been beaten again and again, is resisting murder a vengeance for revenge, happy and at the same time pitiful, pathetic and self-loathing?

Or the excitement, madness, and expansiveness of the transition from being bullied to dominating the life of the bully?

In the end, how did he feel when he gave up killing the last man and was shot dead in front of the police and a crowd of acquaintances?

Director Lou Qiao is a very casual person. When he thinks the taste is right, he directly changes the script. The three chatted about the script, and the more they chatted, the more excited they became. They kept taking notes, and new ideas appeared from time to time.

Agreed with each other, refuted each other, struggled together, hesitated, excited, and satisfied, director Lou Qiao, screenwriter Zhu Feng, and actor Yan Chengan chatted together for more than three hours on the relatively simple script, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

However, it is indeed quite late. Lou Qiao had been on a cross-border flight for several hours in a row, and discussed it with high excitement for four hours. When he went back, he probably had to sort out some of the thoughts just now, and he was indeed a little tired.

He gained a lot tonight. After a discussion, he got a lot of new inspirations and pictures, which made him more and more satisfied with Cheng Cheng'an, the settled male protagonist.

If you have ideas, courage, and spirituality, you can do it with one click! It's the male protagonist he wants!

It was agreed that the main creators and a few main actors would have a chat with the script next time, and everyone left this very private teahouse.

After seeing off the director and screenwriter at the door, Yu Xing looked at Yan Chengan beside him, and gradually forgot what Su Man said just now, and was in a good mood.

"I think you talked very well tonight. The director and screenwriter recognize you very much. The next filming should go smoothly."

Yan Chengan watched the car they rode go away, with no pride on his face, and his speech was still calm: "The filming has not officially started, everything is still unknown. I can only say that the book and team of this movie are very good. I will do my best.”

Yu Xing was more satisfied with Yan Chengan's attitude, and naturally believed that he would go all out.

As a well-connected broker with a good family background, Yu Xing is not short of money or ordinary good seedlings. He wants to present a talented actor who truly has a masterpiece and has absolute influence in the industry! A movie star who can leave a name in the history of film!

And Yan Chengan is the person he has seen over the years who has the most potential to go to the final position with him.

Therefore, he will not let Yan Chengan randomly pick up bad dramas and business activities that will affect his image, and will not pressure him to do cheap jobs, but will only let him concentrate on choosing and filming, and improving himself.

As long as Yan Chengan follows the current development trend, shoots more characters with good reputation, and meets one or two directors who can make the best performances, the future will be bright.

At this moment, Yan Chengan glanced at his phone and said to Yu Xing, "I still have something to do here, you should go back to rest first, it's been hard work today."

Yu Xing smiled: "It's not hard."

"However, what are you doing so late, do you want Ah Qiang to follow you?"

Yu Xing attaches so much importance to Yan Chengan, so he naturally cares about the whereabouts of his artist in the middle of the night, so he proposes to let his assistant and bodyguard Ah Qiang accompany Yan Chengan to handle matters.

"No, I'll go back to the apartment. Su Man said before that she went to my apartment. I'll go see if she's back."

Yan Chengan replied to him, the tiredness seemed to have eased a little, and he sent a message to Su Man asking where she was now.

Hearing this, Yu Xing naturally remembered Su Man's inexplicable words just now, and the dissatisfaction he usually concealed was a little unhappy.

Yu Xing didn't want Yan Chengan to have any opinion on him because of this woman, and he didn't want to repeat Su Man's words about his work as an agent, and remind him euphemistically from another angle.

"I don't care about your relationship. I just remind you to fast forward to the group. Your relationship is too sticky, which may affect the role of the protagonist. After all, the contrast is too great. You should carefully ponder the script."

"Don't affect the director team's impression of you and your work just because you are in a relationship."

Hearing this, Yan Chengan also raised his head and glanced at him, his emotions seemed to have not completely separated from the role of the protagonist just now, and his tone was not very good compared to his usual tone: "It's not filming now, it's impossible for me not to be an actor. The life of a normal person. Moreover, I think you should also believe my attitude in doing things, I have not affected filming because of my personal life.”

Yu Xing also voluntarily broke his promise and was silent for a while before explaining from a different angle: "It's because I attach too much importance to this drama, so I worry a lot after all."

"However, even if it's not from your point of view, I should remind you. There is still a lot of media attention for the actor in Director Lou's new movie. She is an outsider. If you are too close outside, the chances of being filmed are still high. , and it will easily affect her normal work and life."

Without Su Man's knowledge, Yu Xing brought up this "suggestion" that he only put forward in front of Yan Chengan in advance, and once again succeeded in making Yan Chengan pay more attention.

Yan Chengan remembered the media and Su Man's personality, and nodded earnestly to show that he understood: "I will try my best not to let her be photographed, and to prevent her identity from being exposed too much to the public eye."

"But there's no need to hide it too much to avoid the media, it's meaningless. I just want to ask you to help me watch. If there is really bad media or someone who wants to expose her specific information and affect her life and work, help to block it. ."

"I think ordinary love media should not pay too much attention to it, and they have to dig deeper."

"You can list the fees anyway."

Yu Xing's heart sank, and his mouth was full of promise. Knowingly, he didn't ask Su Man whose money was spent on the pile of luggage and gifts, and where did the money come from.

After Yan Chengan left, Yu Xing remembered what Su Man had just said, and Yan Chengan's attitude towards her, and took out his phone again and again.

Yan Chengan attaches more importance to this lover than he originally thought, so he should attach more importance to Su Man, and he should ask Su Man what he said tonight.

When Yan Chengan hurried back to the apartment, it was pitch black as soon as he entered, is Su Man going back?

He touched the switch of the light, and saw it lit up in front of him.

Yan Chengan looked at the packaging box and gift bag with a long dragon, and the petals that he didn't know where it came from, and his mind was blank for a moment.

Who can tell him where Su Man learned these things!

It was already after twelve o'clock in the morning, and Yan Chengan walked upstairs following the gift a little wearily, and backed away after just two steps. As if appointed, he picked up the gifts on the ground one by one and carefully held them in his arms.

This strange routine has not become rustic yet, but Yan Chengan just finds it a little funny and cherishes it very much.

Pack everything up and take it upstairs, dismantle them all before going to wash.

Yan Chengan didn't hear any sound in the apartment, and then looked at the gifts that were placed on the ground. It is estimated that Su Man came to his apartment to put these gifts away, and then went back first if he didn't come back.

It wasn't until he picked up the gift and went upstairs that he saw the laptop on the sofa that was not turned off, but Su Man was already leaning on the sofa and fell asleep.

About as soon as he got off the plane, he went straight to the apartment. Su Man was still wearing the suit he had seen at the airport before, but he took off the black windbreaker and put it on himself.

On weekdays, she always raised her head, looked alienated and cold, and the imposing Su Man curled up in the corner of the sofa at this time, making her look much smaller.

I don't know if it was because I was too tired, or I had an unhappy dream. Even if she fell asleep, Su Man frowned slightly, her lips were tightened, and she looked very serious and serious.

There is still a guest room in the apartment, Yan Chengan put the gifts that were already piled high and could not be taken down gently on the ground, and squatted down to look at her.

After softly calling twice, Yan Chengan couldn't help but take advantage of this rare moment to take a closer look at his girlfriend. There seems to be some faint dark circles right now, probably because I work until I often stay up late.

At first glance, her sleeping appearance was a bit fierce, but Yan Chengan felt that she also looked fierce, obedient and soft, just like how she felt when she was hugged.

Yan Chengan remembered her usual indifferent expression, her workaholic nature, and her recent series of behaviors, and wanted to scratch her nose and let out a breath. She reached out her hand and stopped again, turning to gently brush the light wrinkle between her brows.

Forget it, rest well and sleep well.

Yan Chengan looked at the piles of packaging bags and gift boxes on the side, could not bear to disturb her sleep, picked her up with the gentlest movements and walked to his bed.

However, when he hugged Su Man, the person in his arms had already noticed it and slowly opened his eyes.

Su Man, who was really tired and sleepy, found that Yan Chengan had returned and was holding himself in his arms. Although his eyes were open, his brain was still a little unresponsive. He thought it was an ordinary day in 2021, after they had been married for many years.

So, she plunged her head deeply into Yan Chengan's chest again, and asked affectionately and lazily, "Are you back?"

Yan Chengan felt that she was leaning against his chest and the breath that came from her, and her body froze for a moment. In response, he hugged Su Man and walked to the bedside, and put Su Man down.

"I'm so sleepy, help me take off my clothes."

Su Man probably also noticed that he was still restrained by annoying clothes, and was a little impatient. Why did I fall asleep without taking off my clothes? No wonder I always felt uncomfortable sleeping just now.

There have been a few times in the past when she worked at home late and fell asleep accidentally. When Yan Chengan came back temporarily, he saw her and took her back to bed to rest.

Out of the habit of being an old husband and wife, Su Man also instructed him while tearing off his clothes impatiently.

Yan Cheng'an's usually not very happy face appeared overwhelmed, her pupils dilated significantly at that moment, until Su Man had torn off her second button, Yan Chengan urgently held her hand and was touching again The moment she reached her hand, she released it as if she was scalded.

He coughed heavily, and his voice was hoarse because of the inexplicably dry throat.

Although the two of them have been dating for almost a year, due to various factors such as personality and busyness, they have not had particularly close contact.

So, what happened to Su Man tonight!

Yan Chengan, who was inexperienced in essence, was a little flustered. He wondered if Su Man was drowsy or what...

I feel that my husband is different from usual. Su Man's eyes widened a little unhappily, then slowly regained his senses, got up and looked around.

This is not the home of her and Yan Chengan in 2021, and Yan Chengan in front of her is even younger. Yes, he was reborn. It seems that I just got off the plane, and I came here... to make a gift for Yan Chengan?

Su Man finally came to his senses. It wasn't after they got married, and the relationship between her and Yan Chengan was not that close. Facing such a situation, Su Man was a little dazed for a while, and his brain was also a little slow.

"By the way, what did you do when you went abroad. Why did you suddenly bring so many things back?"

Yan Chengan saw that Su Man seemed to be expressionless now, but he was actually in a dazed state, but he wanted to cover up his hot cheeks and body, so he turned around and went to the bathroom in the bedroom, and quickly went to take a photo. Shoot cold water to calm down his hot head, and ask her across a wall.

Su Man remembered that he had earned his first pot of gold, and he hoped to share the joy with his beloved, and he was also sorry for the neglect of him that he had not contacted him for so many days when he went abroad this time.

The most important thing is that Su Man has also figured it out. Anyway, the two of them are going to get married in the end. Su Man, who has no problem with getting it all at once, doesn't care too much about his behavior just now. He gets up and walks to the bathroom door step by step. Seeing that Yan Chengan got up for no apparent reason, he ran to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, it was a big winter.

"I went to play with the stock and made some money. Just wanted to buy you a present."

While washing his face, Yan Chengan glanced at Su Man, who was staring straight at him, while pretending to be calm and casually looking for topics: "Why did you suddenly think of buying so much, I won't spend all the money you earn. "

Although he didn't unpack each one just now, he still saw a few items in the bag. It seemed that there were scarves and ties of his favorite brand, as well as a brand specializing in suits.

In any case, it is not a small sum.

If Su Man emptied his nearest wallet because he bought him gifts, he would also think about how to subsidize her back.

Although Yan Chengan is very picky about his acting and business resources, he does have a good image, a good reputation, and a bright future. Coupled with Yu Xing's very powerful contacts, he has won a number of people who actually surpassed his current status and popularity in the past two years. Endorsement, good income.

Sometimes there is no good role for him, Yan Chengan will also take the time to translate some foreign language documents, and invest in the manuscripts of physical magazines to earn some extra money.

And Yan Chengan is also a family member who has several courtyard houses in the capital, and doesn't care much about money.

"Not much money, and I just want to give you money."

"As long as you're a little bit happy, I'm happy, and you bought the right gift."

Su Man looked at Yan Chengan who wiped his face in front of the sink, his cold face wrinkled slightly, then recovered, and honestly expressed his inner thoughts.

Whether it's sharing joy or apologizing for his usual neglect of him, what Su Man wants most is to express her concern.

She let Yan Chengan know that maybe she didn't give him the meticulous care in life like some other girlfriends and wives, but she also tried very hard to maintain the relationship between the two.

She is a person who desires many things besides love. She often can't respond to him in time and accompany him, but she actually values ​​him.

This intention cannot be faked.

After being reborn once, what Su Man began to learn was to express her deepest feelings and concerns in words and actions. Move the position of family and lover one step further in her life.

It's not for his family, his agent, friends, fans, etc. to see that Su Man doesn't care about Yan Chengan, or that he only has his own career in mind, only Yan Chengan is hot.

What she cared about was Yan Chengan's feelings and her own feelings. She no longer wanted to leave so many regrets with a thin layer of film between them like last time.

Yan Chengan paused while holding the towel, his mind and heartbeat slowly calmed down, and he felt a little inexplicable when he heard Su Man's remarks about wanting to give you money.

In this world, there will be no one who does not like the person who is close to him or her to show importance and love to him/her.

He hung the washed towel back on the towel rack, walked out and rubbed Su Man's head.

"I ask you honestly, and you answer honestly."

"Have you read some weird novel or TV series recently, or did you learn it from someone?"

Su Man naturally shook his head and saw Yan Chengan lowered his head, a clean and extremely handsome face facing her. Looking at her carefully, she revealed a little doubt.

"Then why have you suddenly become so-"

Yan Chengan paused, looked at the big-name gifts on the ground, and suddenly thought of a word, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that although it was outrageous, it fit perfectly.

"Becoming—a bit domineering president?"

"In the past few years, the domineering president in the novels that many people like to read, usually looks indifferent, but suddenly says to the other protagonist that he loves you, I want to spend money for you, and buy and buy for you. Unpredictable overbearing president."

Yan Chengan leaned in front of her, and his face returned to his calm, revealing a playful smile. There was not a single flaw in his facial features and skin, and only the figure of Su Man was printed in the extremely bright eyebrows.

The faces of the two were so close that they could feel each other's breath. Su Man didn't expect Yan Chengan to suddenly use such a description.

In fact, she rarely reads online romance novels, especially in 2021, the domineering CEO novels that seem to be less popular than they used to be, not her favorite style.

With such divergent thoughts, Su Man felt that Yan Chengan should know her preference for reading, and was a little puzzled by his description. But soon, her attention was shifted to Yan Chengan's face so close.

I just feel that Yan Chengan looks better and better, so that she can see her heart.

It seems that she can suddenly understand why the cold, unpredictable and domineering presidents in Yan Chengan's mouth want to buy and buy for her lover, and they will go against her usual personality and say that she loves you, because it is love, it is love.

Whether it's a domineering president or just any ordinary professional, he can't bear the feeling of liking and loving.

So, Su Man's seemingly cold face also looked at him seriously, and even directly held up Yan Chengan's face that was facing her with his head down, and asked him.

"I seem to hear it, you are making fun of me. But you also answer me honestly, do you eat this?"

"Would you be happy?"

Yan Chengan's eyes darkened for a moment, looking at the fair-skinned and delicate facial features of the girl in front of her, her eyebrows raised slightly, earnestly asking for an answer, and her unbuttoned collar that was so loose. Finally, he couldn't help but kiss him directly.

He swallowed what he didn't answer.

"Of course I'll be happy."

Originally thought that Su Man would be a little shy, at best he gave him a light and restrained response like before. Unexpectedly, this time Su Man also directly greeted him and gave him an extremely enthusiastic response.

Even, some anti-customer-oriented.

At the door, the two of them kissed so intensely and lingeringly that they stopped after a long while. Su Man and Yan Chengan were breathing a little bit quickly, but their eyes were brighter than ever when they looked at each other. They could hear each other's heartbeat, and the unspoken love and ambiguity in their eyes.

But at this moment, the mobile phone in Su Man's bag suddenly rang, and it seemed that someone had sent her a WeChat message.

Su Man was not sure if there would be any important news, so he walked over and picked up the phone and returned to Yan Chengan. Yan Chengan exhaled softly, although he didn't intend to look at it, he just caught a glimpse of the name and avatar on the chat log interface, and was stunned.

His agent - Yu Xing.

Su Man looked at the message from Yu Xing and said that she wanted to talk to her about Yan Chengan and what she said today.

"I didn't even know that Yu Xing would contact you privately. What did you guys say today?"

Yan Chengan leaned against Su Man and asked casually in a more hoarse voice than before, only to see Su Man squinting and raising his chin slightly back to him.

"I asked him to focus on his work. The two of us have no connection. The only common connection is you."

Su Man took off the topic with a few understatements, but the colder than usual tone also made Yan Chengan hear some of her attitude.

At this time, Yu Xing hadn't done much, so it was impossible for Su Man to let Yan Chengan resign his agent for no reason.

Yu Xing's professional ability and work attitude are nothing to say, and he is enough to care about Yan Chengan. But hypocritical, snobbish, unrighteous and extremely utilitarian.

Facts have also proved that Yu Xing and Yan Chengan are indeed not business partners who can go to the end for a long time.

Since he wanted to talk to her, he just let them open up.

Realizing that Su Man was too lazy to continue this topic, Yan Chengan's feeling that was about to boil just now gradually calmed down. road.

"It's too late now. Are you going to sleep with me or take you back to your apartment?"

Su Man also looked up at the clock on the wall: "It will be two o'clock before I come back after you've delivered it. I won't go back today."

Yan Chengan looked at Su Man, who didn't seem to have said anything great at all, and was suddenly pulled by her hand.

"So, just give me fifteen minutes to look at the gifts I've chosen."

Su Man took his hand, blinked her eyes, and said solemnly.

"I picked them one by one carefully, and I brought them back from abroad, so just take a look!"

Yan Chengan also tried her best to put aside all the messy thoughts in her mind, nodded, and followed her every time, just like in the past and the future.

"I carefully select every gift, and it must be suitable and practical for you to use..."

Yan Chengan really seldom watched Su Man talk so much. The originally chaotic brain, the state of not knowing where to go, slowly returned to these gifts with Su Man's introduction.

Su Man has indeed changed. Although sometimes the contrast and "straight ball" can make him feel a little caught off guard and don't know how to react, it brings him a good feeling more often.

She seems to be more real and vivid, and more willing to share her heart and feelings with him.

It seems that his emotions are more and more easily influenced and occupied by her, and he likes it.
