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

After the movie started, Liu Yifei's emotions were noticeably more stable, and she often laughed out loud during the movie.

She would even occasionally put herself in the shoes of the female lead, thinking about how she would handle certain scenes if she were the one playing the role.

The final conclusion was that I had overthought things; if my opponent were Teacher Ge You, I simply couldn't bring myself to do it...

What Zhang Guoli said next brought tears to the little girl's eyes.

"Yan Shouyi, your phone is connected to your mouth, and your mouth is connected to your heart. When you pick up your phone, you don't always say what you truly mean..."

"Hey, you guys have a lot of shady stuff on your phones. If this keeps up, those phones won't be phones anymore, they'll be hand grenades!"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yan with red eyes, her small eyes constantly darting into Chen Yan's pocket.

"What do you mean, checking up on me?" Chen Yan teased the girl, mimicking Zhang Guoli's accent from the movie.

Liu Yifei pouted, turned her head away, tears welling up in her eyes, and refused to utter a single word of truth.

Then I saw Chen Yan's long, slender hands with distinct knuckles reach out, holding the cell phone that Chen Yan often used in his palm.

Liu Yifei beamed with joy and took it to open it.

Chen Yan immediately suppressed his anger: "Idiot, watch it later. If the patrol finds you playing on your phone, they'll think you're secretly recording pirated content."

When Chen Yan arrived, he saw people collecting equipment one by one, but no one came to collect Chen Yan's equipment, so Chen Yan did not take the initiative to hand it over.

Besides, could I really do such a thing? If I got caught, Feng Xiaogang would scold me for the rest of my life.

Liu Yifei chuckled, then stood there dumbly, arms crossed, holding her phone, and continued watching the movie.

But then the girl broke down again because she saw Zhang Guoli kissing a female graduate student. This man, who was highly respected and always stood on the moral high ground to lecture Yan Shouyi, had also cheated on her.

Liu Yifei glared at Chen Yan again. This time, Chen Yan was truly speechless. He shrugged and said, "Who knew that Feng Xiaogang would film these kinds of real-life situations every day?"

Why couldn't you have taken a better picture?

Later in the play, Zhang Guoli's on-screen wife yells, "What kind of aesthetics graduate student is this? You're a slut!"

Zhang Guoli continued to argue with Ge You, "I did book the room, but I didn't go up... We met at a coffee shop instead, and discussed things..."

The audience burst into laughter at these words, but Liu Yifei couldn't laugh.

Zhang Guoli then turned his head to one side, looking aggrieved: "Sleeping in the same bed for over 20 years, I'm starting to get a little tired of it..."

The audience erupted in laughter and thunderous applause once again. Chen Yan glanced at the little girl and thought, "Wow, her lips are so pouty you could hang an oil bottle on them."

Zhang Guoli sighed and said, "Agrarian society was better back then. Transportation and communication were not developed at all."

He fiddled with his phone for a moment and sighed, "Now, it's so close, so incredibly close, it's suffocating."

Liu Yifei felt dizzy again; the phone in her palm started to get hot, and her mind went blank.

After thinking it over carefully, the girl nudged Chen Yan and handed the phone back to him.

Chen Yan looked surprised. "What's wrong?" You're not checking up on me again?

I can withstand any investigation, feel free to investigate!

The time to show loyalty has come. There can be no hesitation now, or you will be defeated!

Liu Yifei looked aggrieved. She didn't know what was in her heart. She wanted to see it, but she was afraid that if she pushed too hard, Chen Yan would become like Zhang Guoli lamented, making him feel suffocated.

At this point, Chen Yan didn't care about the media anymore and simply put his arm around Liu Yifei's slender waist.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm not afraid of being investigated. I like it when you investigate. You are my anchor. With you watching over me, I can always stay clear-headed."

Chen Yan wasn't lying. He had suddenly transmigrated to 2002, starting all over again. In this world, Chen Yan was a young man who had achieved fame and was full of vigor.

But he's always floating. Despite winning so many box office hits and awards, he's never truly grounded.

But only when Chen Yan is with Liu Yifei does he feel that he is real and alive.

A slight blush instantly crept onto Liu Yifei's cheeks, making them look so pink and tender that one wanted to take a bite.

She lowered her head, stroked Chen Yan's phone a couple of times, pursed her lips, and then smiled as she put the phone into her pocket.

Leaning back in her chair, Liu Yifei continued to watch the movie intently. This time, she was no longer wary and no longer subconsciously swapped the male characters in the movie with Chen Yan.

She knew that Chen Yan was different from them.

There was another beautiful woman in the room who cared even more about Chen Yan, and that was Fan Bingbing.

Whenever she had to film an intimate scene with Ge You, her head would instinctively turn towards Chen Yan.

But eight out of ten times, all I saw was Chen Yan whispering something to Liu Yifei, even when Liu Yifei covered her eyes after seeing intimate scenes between herself and Ge You.

Chen Yan, on the contrary, laughed at her and teased her.

When Fan Bingbing turned back with a bitter smile, she met Zhang Guoli's gaze.

"What is Bingbing looking at over there?" Zhang Guoli asked, glancing in that direction as well.

Fan Bingbing quickly covered it up, saying, "It's nothing, I just checked to see if anyone was recording with their phone. I'm also worried that pirated copies might get leaked and affect the box office."

This excuse is really lame. There are many people patrolling the set at irregular intervals, so why would she, as one of the main creators, need to keep an eye on things?

Zhang Guoli followed Fan Bingbing's gaze and saw Chen Yan and Liu Yifei.

His sharp mind instantly connected the dots: "Since ancient times, Chang'e has loved young men," it seems Fan Bingbing prefers a young and handsome director like Chen Yan.

No wonder he brushed off Feng Xiaogang's attempts to curry favor with him so dryly.

Didn't you see that Xu Fan wasn't even staring at her anymore? He must have realized that Fan Bingbing wasn't interested in Feng Xiaogang.

"It's so good to be young," Zhang Guoli said with a profound sigh at the end.

His expression was strikingly similar to that of the character Fei Lao he played in the drama.

Fan Bingbing was stunned for two seconds before she came to her senses. The big screen had already gone black and the show had ended. The female host went back on stage and began to take control of the show.

The applause continued, and the crowd escorted Feng Xiaogang back to the front of the stage. This time, Feng Xiaogang was even more confident, and the audience's feedback was the best proof.

He even glanced in Chen Yan's direction first, a smug look on his face, as if to say, "See? What do you have to fight me with?"

But Chen Yan didn't even look in his direction; instead, she started whispering to Liu Yifei.

"Are you hungry? Let's grab something to eat after this is over?" Chen Yan was starting to regret it. There really wasn't much to see today. If he wanted to watch a movie, he could take Liu Yifei to the cinema; maybe that would be quieter.

"Okay." Liu Yifei has rarely gone out with Chen Yan lately. As long as she can spend more time with Chen Yan, she doesn't care what they do.

After a fairly successful press conference, everyone's attention was focused on the rivalry between Feng Xiaogang and Chen Yan.

Front-page headline: "Feng Xiaogang publicly stated at the press conference that 'Cellphone' will crush 'Crazy Stone,' director Chen Yan jokingly retorted: He looks down on Director Feng if he doesn't crush 'Crazy Stone'!"

Directors Chen and Feng clashed at the press conference! Who will be the ultimate winner in the Lunar New Year film season?

After finishing their meal, Chen Yan took Liu Yifei home and then saw that Ning Hao had gone crazy, making more than ten phone calls to him.

When Chen Yan called back, Ning Hao's first words were, "Bro! Are you crazy?"
