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

Chapter 98 The Walking Clothes Hanger

On December 12, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli arrived in Beijing with an assistant.

Liu Xiaoli felt uneasy about letting Liu Yifei come back on her own last time, so this time she insisted on going with her.

Assistant Zhang Lingzhi is one year older than Liu Yifei. She has a round and lively face and is very meticulous in her work.

She took care of all the arrangements for her return flight, luggage, and clothes. She is also very close to Liu Yifei, and the two get along like friends.

After getting off the plane and arriving at the exit, Zhang Lingzhi immediately spotted the tall and handsome Chen Yan in the crowd.

She nudged Liu Yifei gently beside her and gestured towards Chen Yan with her lip, indicating that Director Chen was over there.

Liu Yifei immediately followed the gaze and saw Chen Yan waving at her.

She happily raised her little hand in response, but when she saw a large crowd looking over, Liu Yifei, who was surrounded by people, lowered her arm again.

They were afraid that if a bunch of people rushed up, it would be difficult for them to leave.

Liu Xiaoli saw this but didn't say anything. Chen Yan had already passed her test in her heart, and in some matters, she even trusted Chen Yan's choices more.

Chen Yan strode forward, first glancing at Liu Yifei, who was wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, and then chuckled softly.

Then he took the bag from Liu Yifei and went to take the luggage from Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie, please give it to me."

Liu Xiaoli smiled gently: "Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Chen."

"It's alright." Chen Yan easily picked up the two people's luggage and walked out first, leading the way for the others.

Liu Yifei secretly clung to Liu Xiaoli's arm, lowered her head, and followed her out the door.

Once in the car, Liu Yifei immediately took off her hat and other accessories and threw them away.

"Ugh! It's so hot! It seems like nobody at the airport recognizes me. Maybe I shouldn't bring this next time?"

"Are you sure? If you had taken everything away just now, it would have been completely blocked off instantly," Chen Yan replied casually.

It seems this young lady doesn't yet have a clear understanding of her popularity.

It's alright, he'll know how many fans she has soon at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

In the past two days, Chen Yan has seen online that Liu Yifei's fans have spontaneously started calling for votes.

Many influential fans even held giveaways in the comments section.

The previous winner of this year's Hundred Flowers Award was Fan Bingbing from the movie "Cellphone".

The two fan groups were also engaged in a fierce online battle, but Fan's fans were clearly less aggressive than Liu Yifei's.

Ultimately, the real power of the person being criticized comes down to their own strength.

Liu Yifei is, after all, a leading lady with a box office of 200 million yuan, and several of her TV dramas have achieved impressive ratings.

Therefore, there is a subtle trend of suppressing Fan.

When they got home, Chen Yan was the one who carried the things inside.

"Auntie, I've had someone clean the house. You should rest now," Chen Yan said softly, putting down her things.

Liu Xiaoli looked around and found that it was indeed clean and tidy.

Then he thanked him again: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Chen."

"It's alright, Auntie." Chen Yan smiled shyly. If he didn't show his abilities now, when would he?

A son-in-law should try his best to impress his mother-in-law and be extremely attentive to her.

Zhang Lingzhi, who was standing next to her, was speechless. So this is how a famous director acts when meeting his mother-in-law.

Chen Yan took his leave, and Liu Yifei came out to see him off.

I hadn't even had a chance to say a few words to Chen Yan.

The two of them now stand at the door, their eyes meeting, as if they have a thousand words to say.

Chen Yan went up to Liu Yifei and patted her head. "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Okay," Liu Yifei replied obediently.

Liu Yifei suddenly remembered and raised her voice, "Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, I have a really nice neighbor in Wuhan, she's an amazing singer. Didn't you want to find someone to sing? Would she be suitable?"

After a moment's thought, Chen Yan realized who it might be.

He asked to confirm, "What's her name?"

"Yao Beina".

"She's six years older than me, and she was always the one who played with me when I was little." Liu Yifei recalled this friend with eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance for her childhood.

"Okay, now that the awards ceremony is over, let's meet sometime." When Chen Yan thought of this girl, his first impression was that she had excellent singing skills, insisted on performing despite her illness, and donated her corneas on her deathbed.

During Yao Beina's illness, Liu Yifei visited her multiple times through intermediaries and made phone calls to express her condolences, indicating a close personal relationship.

Liu Yifei must have been heartbroken when she passed away, losing a childhood playmate and a dear friend.

"Okay!" Liu Yifei nodded with a smile. She was so happy to see her good friend again.

Chen Yan reached out and pinched her soft, adorable cheeks. It seemed that she had lost a lot of her baby fat due to her busy filming schedule, and was already showing the beginnings of a great beauty.

"Then I'm leaving."

Liu Yifei nodded reluctantly, watching his departing figure until he was out of sight before turning back.

Back inside, she was met with teasing from Zhang Lingzhi, "Qianqian, your soul has run away with someone, hasn't it?"

Liu Yifei blushed instantly and retorted, "No way!"

Zhang Lingzhi chuckled.

The next day, Chen Yan arrived at the Liu family's building on time.

Because the two houses are so close, they're actually just across the street, less than a five-minute walk apart.

Chen Yan arrived early and saw Liu Yifei struggling to choose a dress.

The clothes were delivered a long time ago.

Chen Yan glanced at it and immediately said, "Let's choose the light green one."

Liu Yifei's eyes widened. "This one? Do you like this one?"

Chen Yan sat down and said leisurely, "Yes, this one looks good and suits you. The black one is too somber and not suitable for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony."

Liu Xiaoli then came over. "I told her to wear the light green one, but she insisted on agonizing over it for ages. If she kept dawdling, it would get dark soon."

Chen Yan stood up and said with a smile, "Auntie, no rush, take your time."

Zhang Lingzhi covered her mouth and laughed behind her.

Liu Yifei could only compromise, saying, "Okay, okay, this one will do."

As she spoke, Zhang Lingzhi swiftly stepped forward, picked up the dress, and said, "Let's go, Qianqian, let's go change."

The two walked up to the second floor, and Liu Yifei glanced back at Chen Yan halfway up.

Chen Yan smiled and waved to her, indicating that she could go without worry.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know where this girl got her taste from."

But then, as if remembering something, the smile on his face gradually faded.

Chen Yan immediately changed the subject, saying, "Auntie, I think Qianqian is smart. Most of those pretty clothes are cumbersome and heavy to wear. She chooses the comfortable ones herself. She's very shrewd."

Liu Xiaoli laughed out loud and agreed, "That's right, that little devil."

A short while later, Liu Yifei, dressed in a gorgeous gown, slowly descended the stairs, holding onto the railing.

Wearing a light green feather dress adorned with colorful and delicate flowers at the chest and waist, paired with a simple silver necklace and matching earrings, Liu Yifei's skin appeared even more fair and radiant.

Chen Yan was stunned.

Shortly after, Liu Yifei walked up to Chen Yan and gently spun around.

Am I good-looking?
