"President Xu?" Chu Dong looked at Xu Jiuyan in surprise, but did not distance himself from Tang Yan, "I didn't expect...you care so much about the assistant."
Tang Yan took the initiative to take a step back, he was a little uncomfortable looking at Chu Dong's face at such a close distance.Afterwards, he looked at Xu Jiuyan and said to him, "Mr. Xu, what coffee and dessert do you want."
As he spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Xu Jiuyan.
Xu Jiuyan glanced at the coffee in Chu Dong's hand, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his tone remained calm: "Did you buy it for him?"
The seemingly casual question has a sour taste.
When Chu Dong had a meeting last time, he felt that Xu Jiuyan's attitude towards Tang Yan was a bit subtle, but now he felt it was more obvious.He is a smart man, he glanced at Tang Yan, raised the corners of his lips on purpose, and said mischievously: "Assistant Tang has always liked me very much, last time I supported me to accept "Cloud Island" in front of so many people, and bought me a cup There's nothing like coffee."
Tang Yan felt that this person spoke strangely, but he couldn't tell what was strange.He didn't want to make the situation too embarrassing, so he said, "I bought an extra cup, because Mr. Chu Dong would be too tired from the meeting." His tone was polite and flat, and he nodded slightly at the two of them before leaving.
The unhappiness in Xu Jiuyan's eyes became more obvious. He frowned slightly, looked at Chu Dong and said, "You are an artist, don't get too close to others, lest you invite people to gossip. You don't need me to teach you this truth, do you?"
"Really?" Chu Dong blinked, and said innocently, "But before, the company thought I was too bad-tempered and asked me to treat fans better. Am I wrong?"
"Is he your fan?" Xu Jiuyan chuckled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "He stays by my side every day, but I've never heard of it."
He bit the words "stay by my side" a little bit harder, which was a bit of a declaration of sovereignty.
Feeling his hostility, Chu Dong's eyes darkened slightly, and after a while he smiled and said, "No matter what, thank Tang Yan for me, after all, when everyone is against me, he is the only one who understands me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Jiuyan pursed his lips, feeling a little upset.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him, he has been paying more and more attention to Tang Yan recently, especially when Chu Dong is present, he always has a sense of crisis.
Maybe it was because he was too busy with work, Xu Jiuyan explained in his heart, but his brows could not help but frown.
a few days later.
The International Film Festival held the awards ceremony as scheduled. Before that, many people predicted that "Cloud Island", a literary and artistic niche film, was aimed at winning awards. At worst, it could get a few nominations, and maybe even get some original works. Screenplay awards and stuff like that.
However, during the live broadcast that night, a scene that stunned everyone happened.
As a film with a small investment and a short shooting cycle, "Cloud Island" won six awards at the film festival, from "Best Screenplay" to "Best Actor", and the entire crew swept almost all awards.
As soon as the news came out, it caused quite a stir.And Chu Dong, as a new actor, was immediately on the hot search, and most of the comments praised him, and of course there were also many black fans.
"What's the use of winning an award, this movie will definitely be released."
"It's just good luck. Xu's media will lose money investing in this movie."
"Wait and watch the joke, I don't know what the people of the Xu Group are thinking, let him take this kind of film during the Lunar New Year."
However, although many people have no expectations for the box office of "Cloud Island", this film has attracted a lot of attention because of its award-winning. Many people who originally planned to watch commercial films plan to buy tickets to watch it, which is considered a one-off Windfall.
One month before the film's release, Xu's Group held a regular meeting of shareholders to discuss countermeasures for the company's current financial situation.Although after Xu Sheng was arrested, the company has an upward trend thanks to the efforts of Xu Jiuyan and Tang Yan, but there is still a big gap.
In this regard, some people said: "If our company's investment in the Lunar New Year file this time is a commercial film, this gap may be filled."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their attention to Tang Yan, with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
Tang Yan knew that before the movie was released, some people would have objections, so he didn't explain much, but just let everyone believe in Chu Dong.
Autumn passed quickly, and winter came in a blink of an eye, and "Cloud Island" was screened on Christmas Eve.
When it was released, many people in the Xu Group were paying attention to the real-time box office of the movie. Most of these people were waiting to see Tang Yan and Chu Dong's jokes.
There was a high-profile 3D sci-fi film released at the same time, and several large-scale commercial films, and "Cloud Island" seemed a bit abrupt in the middle.
As most people expected, the box office of "Cloud Island" on the first day was not ideal, only ranking No.5.
The shareholders of the Xu Group shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this was a complete failure of investment.
"Why did you trust Tang Yan at the beginning? This movie is destined to lose money."
"If I knew it earlier, I should have stopped Chu Dong directly. If he acted in that sci-fi film, our company would have made a lot of money."
"It's all Tang Yan's fault."
Everyone in the secretary's room laughed happily.Originally, when "Cloud Island" won the award at the film festival, they were worried that the film would suddenly counterattack, but judging from the current situation, there is a 90.00% chance that the film will hit the street.
Tang Yan was also a little confused about the box office. It stands to reason that what he saw in the pop-up window would not be wrong, so where is the problem?
Christmas, the company holiday, he lay in bed thinking about it.At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Tang Yan got out of bed and put on cotton slippers, and went directly to open the door without changing her pajamas. Zheng Junqi stood at the door in light-colored casual clothes, holding warm bread and coffee in his hand, and said to him: "Merry Christmas .” The tone was calm and polite.
Tang Yan glanced at his glasses and knew that this was Zheng Junqi with a gentle personality, so he invited him in to sit down.
The air conditioner was turned on in the room, Zheng Junqi took off his coat and shoes after entering the door, and closed the door with gentle movements.
"I'm going to buy breakfast." Tang Yan said while going to the bathroom to wash, "Don't bring me these next time, or I will become more and more lazy."
Zheng Junqi smiled, put breakfast on the table, glanced at his computer, and asked, "Did you stay up late again last night?"
Tang Yan brushed his teeth and said vaguely: "Well, there is a Christmas event plan that needs to be changed."
After washing up, Tang Yan glanced at the breakfast, and thought that it really was Zheng Junqi with a gentle personality.
Zheng Junqi of these two personalities will bring him breakfast on weekends, but the gentle one will usually bring him hot coffee and bread, and the scumbag one will bring him soup dumplings.
When he was sitting down to eat breakfast, Zheng Junqi walked up behind him, stretched out his hand, and caressed his temple with his slender fingers.
Tang Yan was slightly taken aback.
"Don't always stay up all night," Zheng Junqi gently rubbed his temples with just enough force, and the temperature of his fingertips was slightly cool, "Don't tire yourself out since it's the weekend."
Under Zheng Junqi's pressure, Tang Yan's drowsy head really improved a lot.
"Thank you, Xiao Zheng." Tang Yan said while biting the bread, "Do you want any presents for Christmas?"
Zheng Junqi was stunned, "Gifts? No need..." He usually doesn't have many friends, and he's not used to receiving gifts, but another personality will get back a lot, but he knows very well that none of them belong to him.
"It just so happens that I'm free today." Tang Yan thought for a while, "I'll treat you to a movie, and then I'll accompany you to buy some clothes, how about it?"
As a straight man, this is already the most sincere gift he thinks.
Zheng Junqi's eyes fell on the top of Tang Yan's head, and slightly raised the corners of his lips at an angle that he could not see, and replied after a long while: "Okay."
"Do you watch literary films?" Tang Yan asked casually.
Zheng Junqi gave a low "hmm".
So, Tang Yan bought a movie ticket for "Cloud Island", just as he also wanted to see how the movie was going.
After shopping, he changed his clothes and went out with Zheng Junqi.
Today is Christmas, and there are many couples on the street. The two big men seem a bit out of place when they walk together.Coupled with their outstanding looks, they quickly attracted the attention of many people.
After the movie started, Tang Yan quickly focused on the movie, while Zheng Junqi cast his eyes on him from time to time.
"Cloud Island" is a very beautiful love movie, and most of the people who watch the movie are couples.Zheng Junqi looked around with a little joy in his heart.
The movie was more exciting than Tang Yan imagined, especially when Chu Dong's face appeared on the screen, it caused many girls on the scene to scream. Tang Yan couldn't help feeling: "Chu Dong is really attractive."
He is a natural actor, and his performance in front of the camera is amazing.
Zheng Junqi looked at him and said casually: "You like him very much?"
"It's not bad." Tang Yan smiled, "At least when he was in the movie, I liked it."
The movie lasted nearly two hours, and there was nothing boring in the whole process. After the movie, many people were discussing the plot, saying that this movie is definitely worth watching several times.
Tang Yan couldn't understand why such a good movie only ranked No.5 at the box office on the first day.
When the two walked out of the theater, Zheng Junqi glanced at Tang Yan's pensive look, and asked, "Still thinking about the characters in the movie?"
Tang Yan shook his head, "No, let's go pick out clothes, and then have lunch."
There are many men's clothing stores in the shopping mall. After Zheng Junqi chose a suit, he went to the fitting room. Tang Yan walked around the store and suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door.
Chu Dong was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, feeling very depressed.
The film did not do well, his agent kept comforting him, and the trolls on the Internet celebrated like a carnival.Although he never cared about other people's voices, his mood was inevitably affected, so he wanted to go out for a stroll alone.
When passing by a men's clothing store, he saw Tang Yan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Immediately, Chu Dong couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, the boredom in his heart eased a lot, he walked over to greet him: "Meet you again."
"Why are you alone?" Tang Yan asked.
"I'm in a bad mood, so I went shopping alone." Chu Dong took off his mask, and immediately attracted the attention of the shop assistants, who came forward to ask him for his autograph.
After he finished signing, he asked Tang Yan: "Are you alone too? Mr. Xu didn't let you work overtime?"
Tang Yan was stunned, "No, I seldom work overtime recently." It's true that he doesn't have much work recently, and most of the time it's Xu Jiuyan who works overtime, which makes him feel a little bit sorry.
"Have you watched the movie?" Chu Dong stared into his eyes and asked expectantly.
Tang Yan nodded, "Look."
"Really?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Tang Yan took out two movie tickets from his pocket and said to him, "Here, I just watched it."
When Chu Dong saw the two tickets, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes, and he asked casually, "Two people read it?"
"Yeah." Tang Yan put the ticket back in his pocket and pointed to the fitting room, "He's trying on clothes."
"It just so happens that I want to buy a scarf recently..." Chu Dong strolled around the store, scanning the shelves selling scarves, "Please help me to have a look too."
Tang Yan looked at the scarves on the shelf, and casually pointed to a bean paste-colored knitted scarf, "I think that one looks good, and it matches your skin tone."
Hearing this, Chu Dong took off the scarf, looked at it in his hand, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips, walked up to Tang Yan, and put the scarf around his neck.
Tang Yan froze for a few seconds, "What are you doing?"
"Although the movie hit the market," Chu Dong said to himself, "thank you for persuading Xu Jiuyan to let me take this movie. It is very important to me."
Tang Yan reached out to pull the scarf, "You don't need to buy this for me, I'm just thinking from the company's point of view..."
"Really?" Chu Dong looked at him and said seriously, "But... anyway, you were the only one who stood by my side at that time."
Tang Yan's hand paused for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Are you disappointed?" Chu Dong suddenly looked up into his eyes, his usual arrogance and coldness no longer existed, with a trace of careful inquiry, "I... didn't get good grades as you expected."
He thought he had finally met someone who understood him, but he couldn't live up to his expectations.
Chu Dong also heard during this time that Tang Yan was gossiped a lot by people in the company because he supported his choice.
Tang Yan originally wanted to say something to comfort him, but the two looked at each other for more than five seconds.
He froze for a moment, and his eyes stayed on the column of life fortune.
[Life fortune: I will get out of the trough in the near future, usher in a new peak, and create a box office record for literary films. 】
Tang Yan's hands trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Dong thought he had guessed right, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said in a low voice: "Although Zhang Shuo comforted me, saying that there will be another time if I fail, but...maybe I really have to change it in the future. My own willful temper..."
"Do not change."
Tang Yan's firm and calm voice stunned Chu Dong.
"It's too early to say it's a failure."
Tang Yan raised the corners of his lips, the color of his lips matched the scarf, and the small mole on the corners of his lips was light and seductive, which made Chu Dong roll his eyes unexpectedly.
His slender fingers holding the scarf tightened slightly, and he felt like a rabbit was jumping around in his chest.
"Xiaoyan, what do you think of my windbreaker..."
Zheng Junqi came out of the fitting room, and in the middle of speaking, he got stuck in his throat.He saw a tall and handsome man wearing a scarf on Tang Yan, and Tang Yan still had a smile on his lips, and the atmosphere between the two seemed particularly harmonious.
Zheng Junqi tightened his fingers hard, and then let go after a while. He strode forward, looked at Chu Dong, and said coldly, "This is your friend?"
Chu Dong felt Zheng Junqi's hostility, but he didn't panic in the slightest. He continued to fasten the scarf carefully.
Tang Yan scratched his hair, and replied: "Our company's artist...is the male lead in the movie just now, you should still remember?"
Zheng Junqi glanced at Chu Dong's face, and suddenly remembered that Tang Yan praised the actor's charm when he was watching a movie, and his complexion became even worse.He said in a deep voice, "Xiaoyan, didn't you say you were going to buy clothes with me?"
Tang Yan took a serious look at Zheng Junqi's clothes, and praised: "It looks great, I think your legs look longer after wearing them."
Zheng Junqi said blankly: "I think you are perfunctory me."
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, unable to tell which personality Zheng Junqi in front of him was.His cold face seems to be a gentle personality, but his tone of voice is childish, like a scumbag.
"It's really perfunctory." Chu Dong withdrew his hand tying the scarf, looked at Zheng Junqi and said, "You don't look very good in this suit."
Tang Yan's eyes widened for a moment, what's the matter with this Chu Dong, every time he speaks bad words to other people.
After careful calculation, Chu Dong has already provoked Chi Yinan, Xu Jiuyan and Zheng Junqi all over.
"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Yan hurriedly smoothed things over, and took off the scarf around her neck, "I really don't need this, I'm not used to wearing scarves. Jun Qi, if you think it looks good, just buy it."
Zheng Junqi took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the jealousy in his heart. Fortunately, Tang Yan didn't accept Chu Dong's gift, so he felt better.
"I like it very much." Zheng Junqi glanced at Chu Dong expressionlessly, and said to Tang Yan, "Thank you for the gift you gave me."
The word "gift" is particularly heavy.
Disappointment flashed in Chu Dong's eyes, but he has always been a proud person. He tightened his grip on the scarf slightly, watching Tang Yan accompany Zheng Junqi to buy clothes, and put the scarf back to its original place in silence.
Before leaving, Tang Yan glanced at Chu Dong, and felt that it was not good for him to refuse others like this, so he stepped forward to pick up the scarf, sighed, and said to Chu Dong: "I bought this for you, and I will give it to you in advance. Congratulations to your box office hit."
Chu Dong froze in place, and his feeling of loneliness suddenly improved.Although he didn't quite understand why Tang Yan wanted to celebrate his box office success, he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, pretending to dismiss it and said, "I don't really like this either."
Tang Yan paid the money, packed the scarf and handed it to him, and said to him, "Thank you for creating income for the Xu Group, keep it. If you think it's not enough...you can ask the manager of the artist department."
After speaking, he followed Zheng Junqi out of the clothing store.
Chu Dong looked at his back, muttering "who needs this kind of thank you" in a low voice, and couldn't help but put the scarf around his neck.
"Does it look good?" he asked the clerk next to him.
The clerk always thought that Chu Dong was a bad-tempered star who liked to play big names, but he didn't expect him to have such a gentle side, so he blushed and nodded vigorously, "It looks good!"
After Christmas, the company held a regular meeting.
Ji Ruyun seized on the poor box office performance of "Cloud Island" and planned to question Tang Yanxing.
In the secretary's room, Zhen Xiaoyu, Zhong Li and others were also drinking coffee and discussing.
"You said, will the chairman's wife use this matter to directly fire Tang Yan?"
"I think it's very possible. After all, "Cloud Island" failed so badly, and the chairman's wife has been unhappy with Tang Yan for a long time."
"Who made him pretend to be so powerful every day, this is bad luck."
At this moment, one of the secretaries casually checked today's box office data, then he was stunned, his eyes widened slowly, and he uttered a sentence of "Fuck" with real emotion.
The others looked at the secretary one after another, wondering, "What's wrong?"
"This data...is it wrong?"
The man carefully handed his mobile phone in front of everyone.
Today's box office data shows that "Cloud Island" ranks first, and there is a faint tendency to shake off No.2.
Everyone was stunned.
In the conference room, Ji Ruyun said to Xu Jiuyan: "You have also seen the box office of "Cloud Island", do you have to ask the person who made the decision to explain to everyone? Well, you apologize to the board of directors, and Chu Dong will hide it for a while. As for Tang Yan..."
"Let him take the initiative to step down as an assistant."
Ji Ruyun looked at Tang Yan with a hint of disdain on her beautiful face.
Xu Jiuyan looked at her calmly. A few seconds later, he turned on the projector, which showed the box office curve of "Cloud Island" since the early hours of last night.
Drive low and go high, rising steadily from the fifth place in the ranking. At around nine o'clock today, it has become No.1, completely getting rid of the previous decline.
When the data chart appeared in front of the shareholders, the people who had been looking down on Tang Yan were stunned.
"how can that be?!"
"When did you overtake to the first place?"
"What happened, why did you suddenly counterattack?!"
Xu Jiuyan looked at the crowd and said slowly: ""Cloud Island" has a good reputation. When it swept the film festival, it attracted the attention of many people. In addition, everyone spread it by word of mouth... Is it difficult to counterattack? Why don't you watch it? How about watching the discussions on Weibo?"
Everyone turned on their mobile phones in disbelief, and found that the news of "Cloud Island" was overwhelming on Weibo, basically they were sincerely recommended on Weibo after watching the premiere, and many film critics said that this is a seriously underrated movie. movie of.
Ji Ruyun's hand trembled, and the phone almost fell on the table.She showed disbelief in her eyes, and said to herself: "How could this happen? How is this possible? Did the box office falsify..."
"Of course it's not a fake." The corners of Tang Yan's lips rose slightly, with confident eyes in his eyes, "This number will continue to rise, and it will become the most eye-catching movie in this year's Lunar New Year, and it will create a miracle."
Tang Yan's voice was calm and firm, resounding in the huge conference room.
Those who had doubted him before could not say any words of doubt at this moment.
After Christmas, the New Year's Day holiday soon ushered in.
From zero o'clock on New Year's Day, Tang Yan's words came true.
The box office of "Cloud Island" is like a rocket, directly throwing off the No.2 Shitiao Street, and has repeatedly reached the top of the hot search list with its excellent graphics and outstanding acting skills of the actors. Everyone who has watched it praises it Can't stop talking.
Chu Dong's fans increased by 500 million in just a few days, which is a very scary number.
After the first day of New Year's Day, the total box office of "Cloud Island" has approached [-] million.
And the cost of the film is only in the millions, so all investors can make a lot of money.Among them, of course, is the Xu Group.
A week ago, some people predicted that the box office of this movie might not even reach [-] million.
The stock of Xu Group has risen a lot accordingly, which can not only make up the gap left by Xu Sheng, but also create a large profit.
All those who were waiting to see Tang Yan's jokes were stunned by this shocking reversal.
In the early morning of the second day after New Year's Day, Xu Jiuyan took a shower after working out. While drinking coffee, he was very satisfied with the praise of "Cloud Island" in the financial section of the newspaper.
The report wrote: "Choosing to let the popular artist Chu Dong act in a literary film by an unknown director, or to release it in the Lunar New Year file, for a company like Xu's Group that has just experienced ups and downs, it is simply too difficult. It was a risky move, but it won very well, which makes people have to admire the eyes of investors."
"It's really admirable." Xu Jiuyan pondered for a moment, raised the corners of his lips, took a sip of coffee, and was about to send a message to Tang Yan, but his eyes stopped on the entertainment gossip section of the newspaper.
A report caught Xu Jiuyan's attention.
"When the popular actor meets a same-sex lover privately?She actually put on a scarf for him with her own hands! "
The accompanying picture shows Chu Dong wearing a scarf on a tall man in a clothing store.
Xu Jiuyan frowned slightly, and was about to call Master Chu Dongxing to inquire about the crime, but his hand suddenly shook, and the coffee almost spilled out.
That "same-sex lover" wearing a red scarf...why does it look so familiar? !
The author has something to say: Xiao Chu, the tool man: I am just an ordinary Shura field manufacturing machine.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Tang Yan took the initiative to take a step back, he was a little uncomfortable looking at Chu Dong's face at such a close distance.Afterwards, he looked at Xu Jiuyan and said to him, "Mr. Xu, what coffee and dessert do you want."
As he spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Xu Jiuyan.
Xu Jiuyan glanced at the coffee in Chu Dong's hand, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his tone remained calm: "Did you buy it for him?"

His tone was polite and flat, and he nodded slightly at the two of them before leaving.
The unhappiness in Xu Jiuyan's eyes became more obvious. He frowned slightly, looked at Chu Dong and said, "You are an artist, don't get too close to others, lest you invite people to gossip. You don't need me to teach you this truth, do you?"
"Really?" Chu Dong blinked, and said innocently, "But before, the company thought I was too bad-tempered and asked me to treat fans better. Am I wrong?"
"Is he your fan?" Xu Jiuyan chuckled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "He stays by my side every day, but I've never heard of it."

The International Film Festival held the awards ceremony as scheduled. Before that, many people predicted that "Cloud Island", a literary and artistic niche film, was aimed at winning awards.

Zheng Junqi's eyes fell on the top of Tang Yan's head, and slightly raised the corners of his lips at an angle that he could not see, and replied after a long while: "Okay."
"Do you watch literary films?" Tang Yan asked casually.
Zheng Junqi gave a low "hmm".
So, Tang Yan bought a movie ticket for "Cloud Island", just as he also wanted to see how the movie was going.
After shopping, he changed his clothes and went out with Zheng Junqi.
Today is Christmas, and there are many couples on the street. The two big men seem a bit out of place when they walk together.Coupled with their outstanding looks, they quickly attracted the attention of many people.
After the movie started, Tang Yan quickly focused on the movie, while Zheng Junqi cast his eyes on him from time to time.
"Cloud Island" is a very beautiful love movie, and most of the people who watch the movie are couples.Zheng Junqi looked around with a little joy in his heart.
The movie was more exciting than Tang Yan imagined, especially when Chu Dong's face appeared on the screen, it caused many girls on the scene to scream. Tang Yan couldn't help feeling: "Chu Dong is really attractive."
He is a natural actor, and his performance in front of the camera is amazing.
Zheng Junqi looked at him and said casually: "You like him very much?"
"It's not bad." Tang Yan smiled, "At least when he was in the movie, I liked it."
The movie lasted nearly two hours, and there was nothing boring in the whole process. After the movie, many people were discussing the plot, saying that this movie is definitely worth watching several times.
Tang Yan couldn't understand why such a good movie only ranked No.5 at the box office on the first day.
When the two walked out of the theater, Zheng Junqi glanced at Tang Yan's pensive look, and asked, "Still thinking about the characters in the movie?"
Tang Yan shook his head, "No, let's go pick out clothes, and then have lunch."
There are many men's clothing stores in the shopping mall. After Zheng Junqi chose a suit, he went to the fitting room. Tang Yan walked around the store and suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door.
Chu Dong was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, feeling very depressed.
The film did not do well, his agent kept comforting him, and the trolls on the Internet celebrated like a carnival.Although he never cared about other people's voices, his mood was inevitably affected, so he wanted to go out for a stroll alone.
When passing by a men's clothing store, he saw Tang Yan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Immediately, Chu Dong couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, the boredom in his heart eased a lot, he walked over to greet him: "Meet you again."
"Why are you alone?" Tang Yan asked.
"I'm in a bad mood, so I went shopping alone." Chu Dong took off his mask, and immediately attracted the attention of the shop assistants, who came forward to ask him for his autograph.
After he finished signing, he asked Tang Yan: "Are you alone too? Mr. Xu didn't let you work overtime?"
Tang Yan was stunned, "No, I seldom work overtime recently." It's true that he doesn't have much work recently, and most of the time it's Xu Jiuyan who works overtime, which makes him feel a little bit sorry.
"Have you watched the movie?" Chu Dong stared into his eyes and asked expectantly.
Tang Yan nodded, "Look."
"Really?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Tang Yan took out two movie tickets from his pocket and said to him, "Here, I just watched it."
When Chu Dong saw the two tickets, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes, and he asked casually, "Two people read it?"
"Yeah." Tang Yan put the ticket back in his pocket and pointed to the fitting room, "He's trying on clothes."
"It just so happens that I want to buy a scarf recently..." Chu Dong strolled around the store, scanning the shelves selling scarves, "Please help me to have a look too."
Tang Yan looked at the scarves on the shelf, and casually pointed to a bean paste-colored knitted scarf, "I think that one looks good, and it matches your skin tone."
Hearing this, Chu Dong took off the scarf, looked at it in his hand, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips, walked up to Tang Yan, and put the scarf around his neck.
Tang Yan froze for a few seconds, "What are you doing?"
"Although the movie hit the market," Chu Dong said to himself, "thank you for persuading Xu Jiuyan to let me take this movie. It is very important to me."
Tang Yan reached out to pull the scarf, "You don't need to buy this for me, I'm just thinking from the company's point of view..."
"Really?" Chu Dong looked at him and said seriously, "But... anyway, you were the only one who stood by my side at that time."
Tang Yan's hand paused for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Are you disappointed?" Chu Dong suddenly looked up into his eyes, his usual arrogance and coldness no longer existed, with a trace of careful inquiry, "I... didn't get good grades as you expected."
He thought he had finally met someone who understood him, but he couldn't live up to his expectations.
Chu Dong also heard during this time that Tang Yan was gossiped a lot by people in the company because he supported his choice.
Tang Yan originally wanted to say something to comfort him, but the two looked at each other for more than five seconds.
He froze for a moment, and his eyes stayed on the column of life fortune.
[Life fortune: I will get out of the trough in the near future, usher in a new peak, and create a box office record for literary films. 】
Tang Yan's hands trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Dong thought he had guessed right, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said in a low voice: "Although Zhang Shuo comforted me, saying that there will be another time if I fail, but...maybe I really have to change it in the future. My own willful temper..."
"Do not change."
Tang Yan's firm and calm voice stunned Chu Dong.
"It's too early to say it's a failure."
Tang Yan raised the corners of his lips, the color of his lips matched the scarf, and the small mole on the corners of his lips was light and seductive, which made Chu Dong roll his eyes unexpectedly.
His slender fingers holding the scarf tightened slightly, and he felt like a rabbit was jumping around in his chest.
"Xiaoyan, what do you think of my windbreaker..."
Zheng Junqi came out of the fitting room, and in the middle of speaking, he got stuck in his throat.He saw a tall and handsome man wearing a scarf on Tang Yan, and Tang Yan still had a smile on his lips, and the atmosphere between the two seemed particularly harmonious.
Zheng Junqi tightened his fingers hard, and then let go after a while. He strode forward, looked at Chu Dong, and said coldly, "This is your friend?"
Chu Dong felt Zheng Junqi's hostility, but he didn't panic in the slightest. He continued to fasten the scarf carefully.
Tang Yan scratched his hair, and replied: "Our company's artist...is the male lead in the movie just now, you should still remember?"
Zheng Junqi glanced at Chu Dong's face, and suddenly remembered that Tang Yan praised the actor's charm when he was watching a movie, and his complexion became even worse.He said in a deep voice, "Xiaoyan, didn't you say you were going to buy clothes with me?"
Tang Yan took a serious look at Zheng Junqi's clothes, and praised: "It looks great, I think your legs look longer after wearing them."
Zheng Junqi said blankly: "I think you are perfunctory me."
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, unable to tell which personality Zheng Junqi in front of him was.His cold face seems to be a gentle personality, but his tone of voice is childish, like a scumbag.
"It's really perfunctory." Chu Dong withdrew his hand tying the scarf, looked at Zheng Junqi and said, "You don't look very good in this suit."
Tang Yan's eyes widened for a moment, what's the matter with this Chu Dong, every time he speaks bad words to other people.
After careful calculation, Chu Dong has already provoked Chi Yinan, Xu Jiuyan and Zheng Junqi all over.
"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Yan hurriedly smoothed things over, and took off the scarf around her neck, "I really don't need this, I'm not used to wearing scarves. Jun Qi, if you think it looks good, just buy it."
Zheng Junqi took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the jealousy in his heart. Fortunately, Tang Yan didn't accept Chu Dong's gift, so he felt better.
"I like it very much." Zheng Junqi glanced at Chu Dong expressionlessly, and said to Tang Yan, "Thank you for the gift you gave me."
The word "gift" is particularly heavy.
Disappointment flashed in Chu Dong's eyes, but he has always been a proud person. He tightened his grip on the scarf slightly, watching Tang Yan accompany Zheng Junqi to buy clothes, and put the scarf back to its original place in silence.
Before leaving, Tang Yan glanced at Chu Dong, and felt that it was not good for him to refuse others like this, so he stepped forward to pick up the scarf, sighed, and said to Chu Dong: "I bought this for you, and I will give it to you in advance. Congratulations to your box office hit."
Chu Dong froze in place, and his feeling of loneliness suddenly improved.Although he didn't quite understand why Tang Yan wanted to celebrate his box office success, he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, pretending to dismiss it and said, "I don't really like this either."
Tang Yan paid the money, packed the scarf and handed it to him, and said to him, "Thank you for creating income for the Xu Group, keep it. If you think it's not enough...you can ask the manager of the artist department."
After speaking, he followed Zheng Junqi out of the clothing store.
Chu Dong looked at his back, muttering "who needs this kind of thank you" in a low voice, and couldn't help but put the scarf around his neck.
"Does it look good?" he asked the clerk next to him.
The clerk always thought that Chu Dong was a bad-tempered star who liked to play big names, but he didn't expect him to have such a gentle side, so he blushed and nodded vigorously, "It looks good!"
After Christmas, the company held a regular meeting.
Ji Ruyun seized on the poor box office performance of "Cloud Island" and planned to question Tang Yanxing.
In the secretary's room, Zhen Xiaoyu, Zhong Li and others were also drinking coffee and discussing.
"You said, will the chairman's wife use this matter to directly fire Tang Yan?"
"I think it's very possible. After all, "Cloud Island" failed so badly, and the chairman's wife has been unhappy with Tang Yan for a long time."
"Who made him pretend to be so powerful every day, this is bad luck."
At this moment, one of the secretaries casually checked today's box office data, then he was stunned, his eyes widened slowly, and he uttered a sentence of "Fuck" with real emotion.
The others looked at the secretary one after another, wondering, "What's wrong?"
"This data...is it wrong?"
The man carefully handed his mobile phone in front of everyone.
Today's box office data shows that "Cloud Island" ranks first, and there is a faint tendency to shake off No.2.
Everyone was stunned.
In the conference room, Ji Ruyun said to Xu Jiuyan: "You have also seen the box office of "Cloud Island", do you have to ask the person who made the decision to explain to everyone? Well, you apologize to the board of directors, and Chu Dong will hide it for a while. As for Tang Yan..."
"Let him take the initiative to step down as an assistant."
Ji Ruyun looked at Tang Yan with a hint of disdain on her beautiful face.
Xu Jiuyan looked at her calmly. A few seconds later, he turned on the projector, which showed the box office curve of "Cloud Island" since the early hours of last night.
Drive low and go high, rising steadily from the fifth place in the ranking. At around nine o'clock today, it has become No.1, completely getting rid of the previous decline.
When the data chart appeared in front of the shareholders, the people who had been looking down on Tang Yan were stunned.
"how can that be?!"
"When did you overtake to the first place?"
"What happened, why did you suddenly counterattack?!"
Xu Jiuyan looked at the crowd and said slowly: ""Cloud Island" has a good reputation. When it swept the film festival, it attracted the attention of many people. In addition, everyone spread it by word of mouth... Is it difficult to counterattack? Why don't you watch it? How about watching the discussions on Weibo?"
Everyone turned on their mobile phones in disbelief, and found that the news of "Cloud Island" was overwhelming on Weibo, basically they were sincerely recommended on Weibo after watching the premiere, and many film critics said that this is a seriously underrated movie. movie of.
Ji Ruyun's hand trembled, and the phone almost fell on the table.She showed disbelief in her eyes, and said to herself: "How could this happen? How is this possible? Did the box office falsify..."
"Of course it's not a fake." The corners of Tang Yan's lips rose slightly, with confident eyes in his eyes, "This number will continue to rise, and it will become the most eye-catching movie in this year's Lunar New Year, and it will create a miracle."
Tang Yan's voice was calm and firm, resounding in the huge conference room.
Those who had doubted him before could not say any words of doubt at this moment.
After Christmas, the New Year's Day holiday soon ushered in.
From zero o'clock on New Year's Day, Tang Yan's words came true.
The box office of "Cloud Island" is like a rocket, directly throwing off the No.2 Shitiao Street, and has repeatedly reached the top of the hot search list with its excellent graphics and outstanding acting skills of the actors. Everyone who has watched it praises it Can't stop talking.
Chu Dong's fans increased by 500 million in just a few days, which is a very scary number.
After the first day of New Year's Day, the total box office of "Cloud Island" has approached [-] million.
And the cost of the film is only in the millions, so all investors can make a lot of money.Among them, of course, is the Xu Group.
A week ago, some people predicted that the box office of this movie might not even reach [-] million.
The stock of Xu Group has risen a lot accordingly, which can not only make up the gap left by Xu Sheng, but also create a large profit.
All those who were waiting to see Tang Yan's jokes were stunned by this shocking reversal.
In the early morning of the second day after New Year's Day, Xu Jiuyan took a shower after working out. While drinking coffee, he was very satisfied with the praise of "Cloud Island" in the financial section of the newspaper.
The report wrote: "Choosing to let the popular artist Chu Dong act in a literary film by an unknown director, or to release it in the Lunar New Year file, for a company like Xu's Group that has just experienced ups and downs, it is simply too difficult. It was a risky move, but it won very well, which makes people have to admire the eyes of investors."
"It's really admirable." Xu Jiuyan pondered for a moment, raised the corners of his lips, took a sip of coffee, and was about to send a message to Tang Yan, but his eyes stopped on the entertainment gossip section of the newspaper.
A report caught Xu Jiuyan's attention.
"When the popular actor meets a same-sex lover privately?She actually put on a scarf for him with her own hands! "
The accompanying picture shows Chu Dong wearing a scarf on a tall man in a clothing store.
Xu Jiuyan frowned slightly, and was about to call Master Chu Dongxing to inquire about the crime, but his hand suddenly shook, and the coffee almost spilled out.
That "same-sex lover" wearing a red scarf...why does it look so familiar? !
The author has something to say: Xiao Chu, the tool man: I am just an ordinary Shura field manufacturing machine.
