make do

Charlie pretended not to understand the awkwardness between the two, and kept calling Lu Xuyi and Yan Chen to drink.He can't interfere with other people's family affairs.However, since both of them can sit on the same table today, the problem between them must not be too big.

Charlie has something important to do today, and the interview with Lu Xuyi is not only because of Yan Chen's opinion, but also a series of issues about the contract details, and it would be better for them to negotiate.

This is Yan Chen's first time accepting a Hollywood film, although the contract between the crew and each actor is not much different, but Yan Chen is different after all.There are not many actors in the entire entertainment circle who can win Charlie's favor, and Yan Chen happens to be one of the very few.

Besides, all the directors, screenwriters and producers in Hollywood knew that Yan Chen didn't like Hollywood movies.This time, if Charlie wanted to use one sentence to describe it, the Chinese phrase—green smoke from the ancestral grave was just right.

Therefore, if it is other actors, Charlie will not give people the opportunity to negotiate at all.The contract is there, sign it if you like it, and leave if you don’t. There are many actors who want to play this role.

Hollywood's movie scripts are not short of people, what they lack is just a good actor who suits them well.

Lu Xuyi always didn't like to talk around corners, so he directly asked for anything.While thinking, Charlie bargained with Lu Xuyi.Perhaps because he is not very proficient in Chinese, Charlie could barely cope with it at first, but later, he simply switched to English.

But just because Charlie speaks English doesn't mean that Lu Xuyi will accompany him to speak.At the negotiating table, the most taboo thing is to follow the negotiating partner's wishes.Charlie's Chinese is not good, and speaking English does not mean that Lu Xuyi's English is not good, but even if Lu Xuyi is good at English, he can't speak English to Charlie.

The two of them are one Chinese and one English, and they go back and forth.It was Charlie who surrendered first.

"Oh, God! Please spare me! Yat! I know your English is very good!"

The smile on Lu Xuyi's face remained unchanged: "Mr. Charlie's Chinese is not bad either."

"Okay, okay! I admit defeat!" Charlie shook his head helplessly, and raised his hands pretending to be wronged.

At this time, the smile on Lu Xuyi's face became more sincere.Although this opportunity is indeed rare, as a manager, especially as Yan Chen's manager for seven years, Lu Xuyi can't help but want to maximize his benefits.After recovering, Lu Xuyi was also a little surprised. He didn't know whether he should say it was an occupational disease or a habit.

However, if you don't want to deceive yourself and others, the explanation of habituality is obviously more reasonable.

In Charlie's eyes, Lin Xia, the leading actor in "Sea of ​​Stars", must be Yan Chen, so even if Lu Xuyi made so many requests, he can still accept them.But everyone has the psychology of wanting to take advantage, and being able to take advantage is always very satisfying.Unfortunately, this time the opponent is Lu Xuyi.

After chatting for so long, Charlie didn't see any slack and concession from his expression, so he simply gave up.Originally, when he came to negotiate this time, he also showed full sincerity.And Lu Xuyi's conditions were not too outrageous, and they were similar to what he had expected.Anyway, he could accept it, so he simply followed the trend, which would make Lu Xuyi feel a little more guilty.

Sure enough, as soon as Charlie conceded defeat, a flash of apology flashed across Lu Xuyi's eyes.Charlie doesn't care, he just wants to show grievances.

It was Yan Chen who broke the silence.When the two were negotiating, he didn't interrupt, he just sat quietly and let the two of them fight with each other.

"Now that we've settled the deal, let's have dinner! I heard that Mr. Charlie likes Sichuan cuisine, so let's try it out today!" Yan Chen picked up his wine glass, toasted Charlie from the air, and glanced at Lu Xuyi inadvertently , the corners of his lips curled up quietly.

Charlie readily raised his wine glass and toasted Yan Chen, without Yan Chen saying hello, he skillfully picked up the chopsticks and began to fight against the plates in front of him.

Neither Yan Chen nor Charlie seemed to be affected by the negotiation just now, they should eat and drink.But Lu Xuyi couldn't help being annoyed.

Maybe he really got used to it, so today's negotiation is no different from the previous ones. Lu Xuyi is still as aggressive as ever and won't budge an inch.It was clear that everything was fine, and the contract was successfully negotiated with Charlie, maximizing the benefits he had been pursuing.But for some reason, he always felt uncomfortable.

It's like a divorced wife who sees her ex-husband with a woman and she goes and scolds that woman for no reason.In the end, the ex-husband broke up with the woman, but the wife couldn't be happy anyway.

While chatting and laughing, Yan Chen also noticed Lu Xuyi's low pressure, he moved to Lu Xuyi's side without leaving a trace, snatched the last chopstick of fish-flavored eggplant from Charlie who was busy gobbling it up and put it in Lu Xuyi's bowl inside.

Lu Xuyi was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head stupidly.His slender black hair is no different from the past, soft and smooth.The same gold-rimmed eye sockets rest on the bridge of his straight nose.A pair of slightly moist peach blossom eyes are covered by the lens, and only half of the color can be seen from the side.Her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had encountered some difficulty.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Chen asked in a low voice, suppressing his churning heart.

A magnetic voice, familiar yet captivating.Lu Xuyi woke up quickly, suddenly found Yan Chen's face close at hand, and leaned back fiercely.

The back is straight, the eyes are full of shock, and the fists are already ready to stop at the sides, a standard posture of resistance.

Yan Chen was deeply hurt by his series of defensive actions, and his eyes were bloodshot uncontrollably.Perhaps out of breath, a stream of dark red blood flowed down from his nasal cavity.

"Clap! Clap!"

"You...you have a nosebleed!" Lu Xuyi suddenly stood up from his seat, reached out and pulled a few napkins, directly blocking Yan Chen's nosebleed that was still bubbling down.

"Bang!" Yan Chen slapped Lu Xuyi's hand blocking his nostrils away, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

The dark pupils stared quietly at Lu Xuyi's blank eyes. After a long time, Yan Chen turned around and smiled at Charlie: "Sorry, Mr. Charlie. Excuse me." After speaking, he left the box without giving Lu Xuyi a look.

Yan Chen's warm liquid still remained on Lu Xuyi's index finger, and his body remained in the same posture just now.

It wasn't until the door of the box closed with a "click" that Lu Xuyi dared to slowly look away and look at the red mark on the back of his fair hand.There seemed to be a hole in the heart suddenly, and the cold wind rinsed and poured it in.It was cold and painful.
