endless city

The next morning, as soon as An Yan arrived at the company, he was taken directly to the president's office on the [-]th floor by his agent. Chang Lin said nervously, "The chairman ordered you to come here and wait for her as soon as you arrive at the company."

An Yan looked back at Chang Lin: "Do you have any gossip? Is my mother very angry?" Thinking of this, he felt a little headache again. He was severely scolded by his grandfather yesterday. Thick couldn't hold it anymore.

Chang Lin said: "When I received her call, she was at the airport, and she just asked me to bring you to wait for her, and she had something to discuss with you. She didn't seem so angry... right?"

An Yan said with a bitter face: "That's not necessarily true. The calmer my mother is, the more angry she is. This time, because of me, her photos have been posted. She must be regretting that she didn't pinch me when she gave birth to me." Die..." An Yan said while dexterously compiling a SOS distress message, choosing Xu Shaoqian as the recipient.

At this moment, Zhou Bizhen suddenly pushed the door open, An Yan hurriedly put the phone back in his pocket, got up and poured a cup of hot coffee, put on a bright smiling face, ran to Zhou Bizhen in a doggy manner, and said with a smile : "Mom, you're back. The long-distance flight has been exhausting. Come on, I'll pour you a cup of coffee, drink it while it's hot, and refresh yourself..."

Zhou Bizhen glanced at him calmly, took the coffee he handed over, turned around and sat back at the desk to take a sip, then looked up at An Yan and said, "Sit, don't stand."

Mom's expression was too calm, it was the calm before the storm.

An Yan lowered his head: "If you want to scold, just scold, you must have been suffocated along the way..."

Seeing An Yan's head bowed obediently, Zhou Bizhen was helpless, but suddenly felt distressed, and couldn't help but sighed softly in her heart, and said: "Your grandfather should have trained you, and I came back in a hurry, not because of Swearing at you... that's fine, sit down and talk, I have something serious to tell you."

An Yan immediately beamed with joy, sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Bizhen took a sip of hot coffee before she said, "This incident is actually not your fault alone, it's just that the appearance of An Luo and An Ze at the awards ceremony just gave those people a suitable opportunity. Although your identity has always been kept secret in the entertainment industry, many people who have business contacts with our An family know that there is a second young master in the An family. If these people want to take the opportunity to discredit you, your life experience The background is so clear that it doesn’t even need to be checked.”

An Yan was startled, "You mean, that post wasn't necessarily posted by someone in the entertainment industry?"

Zhou Bizhen nodded, "This is just my guess. Your grandfather has a stubborn temper and has offended many people in business, so it is possible that he is missed by others. That person seems to know you very well, otherwise he wouldn't have given you a lot of money. All your grandfathers and uncles who immigrated abroad have been picked out."

An Yan suddenly shuddered, "Who is so perverted?"

"Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, and I can't find any evidence." Zhou Bizhen frowned, "The key now is how to deal with the aftermath. I have already asked the public relations department to say hello to the TV station. Tonight's variety show will involve Considering your background, how to restore your image depends on yourself."

An Yan bowed his head in silence for a moment, then raised his head, smiled and nodded: "Well, I see."

Zhou Bizhen also smiled at her son's smiling face, "Also, it's a good start for you to win the Newcomer Award. In the future, you can just focus on developing in the film industry, and you don't need to shoot TV dramas. Although the drama of the prince and princess can Attracting younger fans won't do much good for your future acting career."

An Yan nodded immediately, "Well, I also want to try something different."

Zhou Bizhen said: "That's just right, strike while the iron is hot this year, and produce at least two films, and I will personally check the script for you." Then he looked at Chang Lin, "Chang Lin, I sent your script by email last night. Did you bring it?"

Chang Lin immediately took out the printed script in his bag and said, "I brought it."

Zhou Bizhen said: "These two plays are heavily invested in projects this year. I have some friendship with the producers, and they will give priority to my actors. The script is too thick and I can't finish it for a while. You can briefly tell An Yan about the play. , to see which one he is more interested in."

Chang Lin nodded, pointed to one of the scripts and said: "This is a large-scale police film. The heroine has been confirmed to be this year's actress Ai Yun. The cast has a huge lineup, and there will be many first-line stars joining. The role reserved for you is The sunny, upright and passionate young policeman is the No. [-] male protagonist throughout the play."

An Yan looked down at a few pages of the script carefully, put it down after a while, and picked up another one, "What about this one?"

Chang Lin concluded: "This is a sci-fi movie with popular elements such as alien invasion and protection of the earth. It is a large-scale production film shot in 3D throughout the process. There will be many special effects and action scenes. The heroine also You are a queen-level popular star, and your role is the captain of the Global Alliance team, and you are also the leading actor."

An Yan simply scanned a few pages of the script, looked up and asked, "Why don't you find other artists in the company?"

Zhou Bizhen explained: "Shaoqian is not suitable for this kind of passionate role. Guoyuan's schedule has already been arranged. There are only a few first-tier stars in our company. Other second-tier stars can't support this kind of big production scene."

"Isn't there still You Jia?" An Yan said while flipping through the script, "Although I can act, it's obvious that You Jia is more experienced and famous than me. I just started acting in movies last year, what should I say?" He's also a newcomer, so it doesn't count for such an all-star crew, does it?"

"..." Zhou Bizhen was speechless.She finally wanted to be an eccentric mother, but An Yan became upright.She had never had direct contact with An Yan in terms of work before, and she did not expect that An Yan would be so stubborn when it comes to filming.

Seeing her mother's uneasy expression, An Yan quickly smiled and said, "I know my mother is giving me the right to choose first, but I already have arrangements for this year's drama, and two movies are enough for me to be busy."

Zhou Bizhen asked in surprise, "Do you have arrangements?"

"Two movies?" As an agent, Chang Lin felt deeply frustrated.

An Yan said with a smile: "Endless City 2, don't tell me, you guys even forgot this? The big-budget sci-fi film I collaborated with Shaoqian, the sequel to Endless City, I still count on passing this one." Another award for the movie."

Chang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course I haven't forgotten this one. The screenwriter is still revising the final script. I will sign the document for you after the salary is negotiated. The filming of this movie will probably start in June next year... the first half of the year Aren't you idle?"

An Yan shrugged and said, "I'm not idle. Senior Jiang Xuening is back and wants to make a movie with an ancient theme. I'm very interested in this theme and want to try it out."

"Jiang Xuening?" Zhou Bizhen frowned, "I've heard about her coming back, but the investment in her movie was very little, and it was just a small movie to explore the waters. Although Jiang Xuening was once popular After all, it is her first time to be a director, and no one can guarantee her director's level."

"It doesn't matter." An Yan waved his hand with a smile, "I have acted in modern cities and future science fiction, but I have never acted in ancient costumes. I don't know what I would look like in ancient costumes." An Yan tilted his head and imagined For a moment, "Surely he's handsome too?"

"..." Zhou Bizhen felt a little reconciled, "The two scripts in my hand have invested more than tens of millions!"

An Yan put the script back on the table, "I know, these two scripts are very good, the director is also one of the best, and the cast is strong. If I go to act, the results will definitely not be too bad. But I still want to give Jiang Xuening a try." The costume drama from..."

Speaking of this, An Yan smiled and looked at Zhou Bizhen with a flattering look in his eyes.

"Are you okay? Mr. Zhou?...Mom?"

Zhou Bizhen's heart softened instantly, "Jiang Bining...is she sure she wants you to be the hero?"

"That's not true. But it's more or less the same. The film is still in preparation, and I should be asked to audition soon."

"Audition?!" Zhou Bizhen's eyes widened, "With your current fame, you still have to go all the way to the audition? Could it be that you didn't perform well and you still have to pack it up and send it back to me?!"

An Yan smiled and said: "Just audition, what are you afraid of, your son will not be returned."

Zhou Bizhen was silent for a while, "Are you determined to act in that ancient costume drama that is not favored at all?"

An Yan raised his hand, "Yes, he is determined, loyal, and will never change until death."

"..." Zhou Bizhen rolled her eyes helplessly, "Okay, you can try ancient costumes, as you have never acted in ancient costumes, and this is also a selling point." After a pause, she said bluntly, "That's the decision. Go back first and prepare for the show tonight."

"Yeah." An Yan and Chang Lin got up and left together. When they reached the door, they turned around and said, "Mom, don't be too tired just after getting off the plane. Go to the next door to sleep for a while to refresh yourself. I'll see you again on the evening show." Son's most handsome performance." Speaking of this, he deliberately saluted his mother.

Zhou Bizhen had no choice but to say, "Okay, get the hell out!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou!"

It wasn't until the office door was closed that Zhou Bizhen leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.

Unexpectedly, when she finally let go of her strong personality and planned to be an eccentric mother in the eyes of outsiders, and took the initiative to help this son, this son had already learned to walk step by step with a straight back through countless stumbles.

He does not need it.

He no longer needs help from others.

It is An Yan's pride to disdain to rely on her mother's nepotism to enter such a big production crew.

Especially after posting on the forum, he doesn't want to rely on the help of his family, he just wants to act in his favorite movie.Because he knew very well that even if those crews entered, he, who was not famous and qualified enough, would only attract criticism again.

He may not know whether he can act well in that film that is underestimated with little investment, but at least he likes the subject matter and he dares to try it.

Zhou Bizhen never thought that An Yan had changed so much silently before he knew it.

This son has finally... grown up.

Zhou Bizhen couldn't help opening the drawer and took out a photo that had been kept inside.

In the photo, the little An Yan is wearing a thick white down jacket, just like a cute big bear. He is standing in the snow, his body is crooked and posing in a strange shape, holding a big snowball in his hand. He was grimacing towards the camera, with a bright and brilliant smile on his face, more dazzling than the winter sun.

The corners of Zhou Bizhen's lips finally raised slightly.

She firmly believes that one day, this son will make everyone who loves him proud of him!
