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

Liu Yifei noticed the awkward silence and immediately tried to ease it, since it was her birthday party and things shouldn't be too tense.

"Chen Yan, you only gave me a bouquet of flowers?" After saying that, she smiled and looked behind him. She had already seen the backpack behind Chen Yan.

Zhu Yawen laughed heartily: "That's right, Director Chen, we all bought big gifts for Qianqian."

Shuchang immediately replied, "You're one to talk! That huge Lego set of yours, Qianqian will have to keep building it until her birthday next year."

Zhu Yawen scratched his head: "It's not that difficult."

"No way, I'll definitely finish assembling it in a few months." Liu Yifei said, raising her slender, white arm.

"Forget it, I don't believe it..." Shu Chang retorted without any politeness.

The handmade gift she gave her last time, Liu Yifei hasn't even taken it out to play with in over a year.

Amidst the noise, Chen Yan slowly took out a notebook and a box.

Liu Yifei took it blankly, first opening the box on top, which contained a pink gemstone hair clip shaped like a cartoon puppy.

The girls around gasped in shock. This pink gemstone was crystal clear and large, and it didn't look cheap at all.

"Mmm!!!! So cute!" Liu Yifei immediately tucked it into her braid.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Liu Yifei swayed it a couple of times and looked down at the gemstone hair clip carefully.

"Isn't it beautiful!" she then looked up at Shuchang and asked excitedly.

Shuchang exclaimed confidently, "It's beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Hey, Xixi, you have another one in your hand." Then Shuchang saw the notebook that Liu Yifei was holding.

"Oh right, there's another one. What's this?" It looks like an ordinary notebook, made of kraft paper, and it feels nice to the touch.

"Open it and take a look," Chen Yan said, raising an eyebrow.

He thought to himself that this girl was really easy to please; it seemed that even if he only gave her a hair clip today, she would be overjoyed.

Liu Yifei said "Oh," opened the book, and closed it in fright after seeing the first page.

"What is it?" Jiang Yiyan frowned and leaned closer, but was suddenly pulled back by Zhou Yang.

"What are you doing, Yangyang?" Jiang Yiyan asked Zhou Yang irritably.

Zhou Yang just smiled faintly, "Yan Yan, don't push forward, you almost stepped on me just now."

Jiang Yiyan could only purse her lips. She had no intention of stepping on her. It was clearly because she was afraid that Jiang Yiyan would get involved with Chen Yan that she had been targeting her.

After reading it, Liu Yifei leaned close to Shu Chang's head and whispered, "It's a movie script."

Shuchang immediately received the signal.

"Ah, I'm afraid this is really not something we should see. You should study it in private, Qianqian."

Jiang Yiyan replied sarcastically, "What is it? We can't see it yet, it's such a secret."

Zhou Yang grabbed Jiang Yiyan's arm tightly. "Let's eat quickly, I'm starving! Yan Yan, are you hungry too?"

"Let's go, let's eat!" Zhu Yawen also stepped in to smooth things over.

Jiang Yiyan was suddenly pulled away, and after turning around, she muttered under her breath, "Tch, who cares to look..."

"Tsk... Yangyang, pull me gently, my arm is about to break." Jiang Yiyan even thought that Zhou Yang was possessed by a ghost today, otherwise why would he keep pulling her?

"Oh, really? Then I'll be gentler." Although Zhou Yang said that, he didn't lessen the force in his hands at all.

Jiang Yiyan rolled her eyes, which Luo Jin happened to see. Luo Jin turned to look at Zhu Yawen, and the two exchanged a glance, both sighing inwardly.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

The meal turned into a chaotic mess, with Liu Yifei completely distracted, her mind already on her notebook.

She only saw a few words: Wonderland script.

She instantly thought of the original Alice in Wonderland book she had read in the United States. This book was Liu Yifei's favorite. Just thinking about being able to play Alice made her lose her appetite and wish she could fly back to her bedroom immediately.

Shu Chang naturally knew Liu Yifei's thoughts, so she took over the role of entertaining the guests at the dinner table.

Chen Yan was also very amused; this girl really wore her heart on her sleeve.

Liu Xiaoli finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Qianqian, eat your food properly."

"Aww." Liu Yifei finished speaking, looked up and chuckled.

After seeing their friends off, Chen Yan and Shu Chang stayed behind.

Liu Yifei immediately brought the script from her room: "Ah! It really is Alice in Wonderland!"

Liu Xiaoli and Shu Chang also moved closer, their eyes widening the moment they touched the script.

Shu Chang looked at it for a while, then looked up at Chen Yan, shook her head, and said, "Chen Yan, you're so generous! No, Brother Yan, Brother Chen! You're too extravagant!"

Liu Xiaoli's face was also full of complex emotions. She finally knew what had made her daughter lose her composure so much.

She lived in the United States with Liu Yifei for five years, and she knew how big the market was for the script of "Alice in Wonderland".

Moreover, this script could never be filmed in the country because the special effects simply wouldn't be up to par.

Halfway through the movie, Liu Yifei suddenly shouted, "Chen Yan, are you really letting me act in this?"

Chen Yan: "Otherwise what? The script has already been delivered to you."

"This script is expected to have an investment of over 5000 million yuan. It will be filmed in Hollywood by China Film Group, with the best special effects team, Sony, in charge of production. I will personally direct it."

When Chen Yan finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"50 million!?" Shu Chang only earned about 5000 last time because she drank some meat soup with Chen Yan. This time, Chen Yan actually gave Liu Yifei a huge project worth 5000 million.

"Ah!!!" Liu Yifei screamed in surprise, then ran over and hugged Chen Yan under her mother's astonished gaze.

If Liu Xiaoli hadn't been there, Liu Yifei would have wanted to go up and kiss Chen Yan.

That's amazing! You can even act in Hollywood now.

"This is the best gift I've ever received!" Liu Yifei's eyes sparkled; no girl could resist the allure of becoming a fairytale princess.

Chen Yan pinched her fair cheeks, which were full of collagen.

"I'm glad you like it." Chen Yan said gently.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei blushed instantly. She then realized how rude she had been, rushing into a boy's arms while her mother was still there.

She turned around awkwardly and embarrassedly, ran back to her mother, and nestled into her mother's arms like a fledgling bird returning to its nest.

"Mom, I'm so happy! I had such a wonderful birthday!" Liu Yifei blinked her big, bright eyes and began to use her cuteness to charm Liu Xiaoli.

I tried to get my mom to forget what had just happened; it was too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoli changed her usual serious mother image, hugging her daughter with one hand and brushing the stray hairs from her daughter's temples with the other.

"As long as you're happy, Mom is happy."

When Liu Yifei looked again, Liu Xiaoli's eyes were already filled with tears.
