Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

Chapter 108 Chen Yan's Toughness

The two were chatting animatedly in the private room when there were two knocks on the door, and then Chen Yan pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yan started smiling: "You're chatting, huh?"

Huang Xiaoming immediately became serious, stood up and very respectfully extended both hands to shake hands with Chen Yan.

Chen Yan glanced at him; he was stiff and seemed quite reserved.

"Brother Xiaoming."

Huang Xiaoming was immediately shocked and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Hey, Director Chen, please don't call me that. Just call me Xiaoming."

Chen Yanping smiled and then naturally sat down next to Liu Yifei: "Hehe, okay, then I'll call you Xiaoming, and you don't need to be so formal, just call me Chen Yan."

After saying that, Huang Xiaoming visibly relaxed, nodded, and smiled, "Okay."

After Chen Yan sat down, Huang Xiaoming took his seat and poured Chen Yan a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

Chen Yan accepted it with a smile.

She rubbed her stomach, the subtext being clear: she was starving.

"Zhang Jizhong held my hand and talked to me for a while, and I couldn't leave." As he spoke, he picked up the menu and began to draw skillfully.

She quickly grabbed a bunch of items that Liu Yifei and she liked, then turned to Huang Xiaoming and asked, "Did you two order anything before I came?"

Liu Yifei looked utterly dejected, her eyes filled with resentment as she glanced at Huang Xiaoming: "No..."

"6

"Hey, look, we agreed it was our treat, so you should have chosen first." Chen Yan thought the two of them had already ordered, but it turned out they were really hungry and waiting for him to come and order.

Huang Xiaoming said gently, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm not a picky eater."

Chen Yan handed the list to Huang Xiaoming, indicating that he should choose some of his favorite foods.

Huang Xiaoming took it without hesitation, carefully looked at the amount Chen Yan had ordered, and added some more as appropriate.

In the end, Chen Yan took the order and placed the food. After all, the two people in the room were both quite famous, and if either of them were exposed, no one would be able to eat tonight.

During the meal, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Yan chatted for a while and became quite familiar with each other. Both of them exuded goodwill and wanted to get to know each other.

Chen Yan readily suggested, "Xiao Ming, I'll call you if there are any suitable roles in the future."

Huang Xiaoming's acting skills and character are both excellent, and he is also very generous. Apart from being a bit love-struck and getting carried away when playing domineering CEO roles, there is nothing else to criticize.

Huang Xiaoming smiled excitedly, "Then I'll eagerly await good news!"

Men are all ambitious, and Huang Xiaoming was not content to just be a rising star who could outshine everyone on set.

So, when Huang Xiaoming had the opportunity to become a shareholder in Huayi Brothers in his previous life, he didn't hesitate at all and directly bought the maximum of 180 million shares that Huayi Brothers had allocated to artists at the time.

With dividends and continued investment, he even held more than 600 million shares at his peak.

"Okay." Chen Yan clinked glasses with Huang Xiaoming while holding a beer.

The two understood each other without saying a word.

Only Liu Yifei didn't understand anything and just kept eating.

When I got back, Liu Xiaoli gave me a lecture, saying that eating this late at night would easily make me fat, and it was also hard to digest.

Liu Yifei didn't refute, she just smiled foolishly to the side.

Chen Yan interjected, "Auntie, my flight is tomorrow morning, I'll be going straight back. If you and Qianqian need anything here, just give me a call."

Liu Xiaoli then turned away and told Chen Yan to go back and get some rest.

This time, Chen Yan didn't say anything to Liu Yifei, but just glanced at her silently and left.

He was in a hurry to go back to help Liu Yifei, because Yao Beina's medical report was about to be released, and the result was probably not good.

The next morning, Chen Yan packed his things and headed straight to the airport.

After two days of travel, Chen Yan was a bit tired, and his face looked slightly weary. He fell asleep as soon as he boarded the plane.

Thankfully, I caught up on some sleep, and my complexion returned to normal after I got off the plane.

Upon arriving at the school, they picked up Yao Beina, who looked somewhat anxious.

"Chen Yan, thank you. I only heard from Qianqian that you went to Jiuzhaigou with her yesterday. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered you."

Upon hearing this, Yao Beina discussed with Liu Yifei whether she would go alone or find a classmate to accompany her.

However, Chen Yan was still worried. It was a matter of life and death, and it was better to keep an eye on things personally. So he asked Liu Yifei to reassure Yao Beina, saying that Chen Yan was originally going back anyway.

Chen Yan comforted her, "It's okay, Sister Bei Na, I was going to come back anyway."

Yao Beina pursed her lips, then sincerely thanked them, "When Qianqian comes back, I'll treat you to dinner. You can choose any place you like."

Chen Yan chuckled and said, "Okay."

When she arrived at the hospital, Yao Beina was still a little hesitant. She went back and researched a lot of information and found that the probability of her having breast cancer was very high.

Chen Yan looked at Yao Beina and said, "Beina, don't be afraid, it's okay. The chances of recovery are high for any illness in its early stages."

"Besides, maybe it's just a false alarm and nothing will happen." Although Chen Yan said this, he knew in his heart that Yao Beina was definitely the worst-case scenario.

Yao Beina twitched the corner of her mouth and gave a wry smile: "Yeah, that's right! Maybe I'm just scaring myself."

If things go really badly, then her upcoming musical "Jinsha" might be canceled.

This was the scene she least wanted to see. She secretly made up her mind that if it wasn't too serious, she would hide her illness and secretly go to rehearsals.

Upon receiving the report, Yao Beina was devastated and felt utterly defeated even in front of the doctor.

Seeing Yao Beina's listless appearance, the doctor reassured her, "Your condition is still in its early stages. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, there shouldn't be any problems."

"You just can't overwork yourself, you need to get plenty of rest."

Chen Yan accurately captured the conflict on Yao Beina's face when the doctor said those words.

"Sister Beina, your health is the most important thing; everything else is trivial."

The doctor nodded approvingly: "Yes, this young man is absolutely right. He must actively cooperate with the treatment."

"Okay." Yao Beina walked out of the department dejectedly.

Chen Yan helped her pay the bill and pick up the medicine. When he came back, he saw Yao Beina sitting on a chair outside the department, looking dejected.

He walked over and sat down next to her.

"Sister Beina, the doctor said that maintaining a good mood every day is also beneficial for recovery."

Yao Beina looked up in surprise, tears already streaming down her face.

She sniffed and quickly wiped her nose with her hand: "No, I'm just a little sad."

"Can you not tell Qianqian?" Yao Beina's subtext was that she didn't want Liu Yifei to tell her parents.

Chen Yan's expression was kind, but his tone left no room for refusal.

"Can't."

Yao Beina asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Chen Yan shook the bag of medicine in his hand: "Because this is a big deal, you can't handle it on your own."

So he would tell Liu Yifei, and if she chose to keep it from her family, Chen Yan would also have Liu Yifei tell Yao Beina's family.

"Okay, I'll tell her." Yao Beina lowered her eyes and looked down.

Chen Yan spoke softly, "Sister Bei Na, are you afraid you'll miss that musical?"
