How to Raise a Superstar

The New Year is coming soon, and following the tradition, Zhou Anyan sent invitations to most of the celebrities and wealthy businessmen in S City, inviting them to participate in the New Year's Double Meeting that night.Among them, Liang Xiang and Luo Meiling came early in the morning. Hong Kong people don't celebrate the Spring Festival, and their New Year is New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar, so they came to join in the fun because they thought it was interesting.It wasn't just him who came, there were others who had more or less connections with him.

Zhou Anyan entertained a few specific people, and entrusted the rest to the company's department managers.He went to Ji Chen's lounge alone, knocked on the door, "Ji Chen?"

Ji Chen hid in his room and ate something secretly. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he was so scared that he almost choked.While patting his chest, Zhou Anyan had already opened the door, "What are you doing?"

Ji Chen stared at him with tears in his eyes, lowered his throat and coughed, what he ate was mung bean cake, the kind with a lot of powder, and now half of it was stuffed in his mouth, unable to swallow it for a while.Zhou Anyan had no choice but to pour him a glass of water, "Hungry?"

"You can't eat too much during the performance, so as not to accumulate food and burp." Ji Chen cooperated with warm water, managed to swallow the pastry in his stomach, and immediately gave the other party a supercilious look, "You have attended so many parties, and you still don't know about it ?”

Zhou Anyan thought, why don't I know, I used to give Wen Qian something to eat, but now his first concern is Ji Chen, "Don't steal these things, I brought hot snacks. Made in the kitchen at home. "

Ji Chen's eyes lit up, "Is there any clam soup?"

"There's no soup, lest you get nervous and want to go to the toilet." Zhou Anyan opened the lid of the lunch box funny, "But there are fried clams, I know you like it."

Ji Chen has been forbidden to eat this kind of fried food these past few months, but Zhou Anyan is the big boss, no one dared to say no to the food he delivered to Ji Chen, so Ji Chen happily moved his chopsticks .

However, when facing delicious food, he still shows restraint, even if he is hungry, he only eats half full.After eating, Ji Chen brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth again, then hugged Zhou Anyan not to let go, "An Yan, I'm so nervous."

"Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious, even if you can't sing well, it doesn't matter." Zhou Anyan looked around, "Why are you alone here, where is Dongming?"

"Dongming and the make-up artist went to dinner." Ji Chen felt unwilling, "Knowing that I'm starving here, but still going to eat with great fanfare, it's too much."

Zhou Anyan was amused, "Aren't I here to accompany you?"

Ji Chen buried her head in his neck, "So it's still best for you."

Zhou Anyan couldn't help but rubbed his head, "Such a big man, why does he like to act like a baby so much. I didn't think you were childish before, but now I find that you are younger than Xiaoheng."

Ji Chen took a bite of him and rubbed the flesh on his neck, before letting go after a while, "Has Xiao Heng left?"

"Let's go, the plane in the afternoon."

"how about you?"

Zhou Anyan replied, "I will stay and wait until New Year's Eve before going back."

Ji Chen thought for a while, "Then I'll just stay at Dongming's house. Anyway, Ji's family doesn't welcome me, so let Dongdong and Dongming cook for me then."

Zhou Anyan showed surprise, "Didn't I tell you? Of course you will go to the capital with me. Otherwise, where else do you want to go? Your brother can't come back from abroad, and I don't feel relieved if you leave alone."

Ji Chen was dumbfounded, what?

Zhou Anyan kissed him, "I probably really forgot, I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently." After a pause, he straightened his collar for Ji Chen again, "It just so happens that you also meet my grandpa. Our family is very kind, Just treat it as fun, don’t worry.”

After that, he started to pack up the leftover food from Ji Chen's meal, turned it into a bag and threw it into the trash can. "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and come to me after you finish your performance."

Ji Chen nodded blankly.

Until Zhou Anyan left, Ji Chen was still immersed in the news just now and didn't react.He originally thought that going on stage and doing things that were not his main job were enough to make him nervous, but he didn't expect that there would be another thing that made him even more nervous, Zhou Anyan actually wanted to take him home?

So you're going to meet your parents?He's not ready for such a quick move...

Thinking that he was facing Zhou Anyan's elders, Ji Chen's scalp couldn't help but start to tingle. Those old men and women have the most old-fashioned thinking, just like his parents, who are regarded as scum by Ji's family even if they are actors. He was exiled from Ji's family without asking, but what's wrong with him, at least he is more motivated than the other dude cousins.

But the current situation is probably worse than that time. They are homosexuals, and the concept of love accepted by non-mainstream society. Coming from Zhou Anyan's family, they definitely won't have a good impression of him.

In fact, Ji Chen thought too much, Zhou Anyan has no plans to expose the relationship between the two of them.He took Ji Chen back, on the one hand, he was worried that Ji Chen would stay in S City alone, on the other hand, he wanted to introduce some of his friends to the other party, so that Ji Chen's interpersonal relationship would not be too narrow.

When Dong Ming came back, he saw Ji Chen's absent-minded look, "What's wrong? Are you fainted from hunger?"

Ji Chen supported his forehead, "No. I'm not hungry, An Yan brought me something to eat."

Dong Ming frowned, "Didn't eat too much, don't forget that you will be on stage later." If something went wrong at that time, it would be Ji Chen himself who would be ashamed.

"Of course I know." Ji Chen muttered, repeatedly pressing the TV remote control in his hand, the TV was the live broadcast of the party, he had watched it countless times during the rehearsal. "Dongming, if you want to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, what gift should I give?"

"Whose elder are you meeting? Zhou Anyan's?" Dongming reacted very quickly.

Ji Chen puffed up her cheeks and didn't speak.

"Don't pretend to be cute, this trick won't work for me." Dongming said, "Are you going to meet your parents? The progress is really fast."

"But I'm a little worried. I haven't been getting along well with the elders, and my parents hate me."

Dongming smiled gloatingly, "You just hate it."

Ji Chen was restless for a few minutes, unable to calm down, but when the time finally came, he went to the stage with a murderous look.

While he was performing on stage, Zhou Anyan was standing in the studio, his eyes fixed on Ji Chen in the center of the stage.

Ji Chen put on makeup and changed into a new costume.As soon as he appeared on the stage, it seemed that he was the only one left in the whole scene, making the rest of the people around him a foil. On the stage shrouded in mist, the young man with exquisite facial features could be seen faintly, and every move revealed a kind of confusion. and mysterious.

The prelude was very short, Ji Chen stared straight ahead, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and the stage lights fell on him, drawing distinct shadows on his face.As the music sounded, he gradually danced his body, not the softness of a woman, but fully showing the strength and charm of a man.

When the first verse of the lyrics ended, Zhou Anyan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and said to the person controlling the sound effects on the stage, "Don't use the recording."

Although he told Ji Chen that lip-syncing was not good, he actually prepared two plans for him. If Ji Chen didn't perform well due to nervousness, the recording would be replaced immediately.

Su Wenqian was scheduled for the next two shows, and he was still in the studio at this time. His smile was not good-looking, "You are planning carefully for him."

Zhou Anyan glanced at him, "You are all actors in the prosperous age, of course I will consider for you and try to be as foolproof as possible. When you first appeared on stage, I also did this for you."

Su Wenqian let out a soft oh.

Zhou Anyan continued to stare at the display screen. Ji Chen's singing was really good, and his dancing was also good. It can be seen that he has spent a lot of time practicing these days.

At this time, Dongming walked in, first greeted Su Wenqian, and then stood beside Zhou Anyan with a proud face, "Mr. Zhou, Ji Chen is not bad, right?"

Zhou Anyan glanced at him, "You did a good job."

Dongming laughed, "Ji Chen is the person with the most potential I have ever managed. Of course, his hard work is rare for ordinary people."

Zhou Anyan knew how hard Ji Chen worked. He used to be at Zhou's house and saw Ji Chen sitting on the sofa in the living room every day, watching the characters in the movie over and over again, and the script was the same. He read it over and over again until he memorized the lines by heart.But he was still very happy to hear Dongming say that, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

After a while, Zhou Anyan remembered that Su Wenqian's performance was about to start, and turned his head again, "Wen Qian, it's your turn to prepare."

Su Wenqian stroked his hair, "An Yan, do you have any plans after the party?"

Zhou Anyan said, "I'm going to send some guests off, and then bring Ji Chen back. Today is New Year's Eve, and Ji Pan isn't here. Everyone should have a meal together."

Su Wenqian stared at him, "If you don't mind, let me join."

Zhou Anyan finally looked at him at this time, "Aren't you going back to accompany your parents?"

Su Wenqian paused, "My parents are going to my younger brother's house for the New Year this year. I'm alone at home with nothing to do. I wanted to invite you over a long time ago."

Zhou Anyan thought for a while, "Don't you still have a girlfriend? You've been so busy with work recently, you probably rarely contact her. While you're resting, don't neglect her."

Su Wenqian's expression changed.

Zhou Anyan didn't see the change in his face, he just looked back at Ji Chen's performance, he felt that he might be a little cold, but if he really took Su Wenqian, this little thing Ji Chen would definitely have trouble with him when he went back.Besides, he had already thought about it a long time ago, so he couldn't be so unclear as Su Wenqian.His unclear performance before hurt Huang Hui, and now he can't hurt Ji Chen no matter what.

Sure enough, after Ji Chen stepped off the stage, he rushed to look for him excitedly. Seeing that there was no one around Zhou Anyan, he dragged him into an empty room backstage, and asked with a smile, "How is my singing?"

"It's great." Zhou Anyan said sincerely, then bowed her head and kissed him again, "It's amazing."

Ji Chen eagerly kissed back. After the singing, he was very excited and just wanted to share this feeling with Zhou Anyan. For a while, he also forgot the distress of being told to see his parents just now, leaving only full of pleasure.

"Okay." After the kiss was over, Zhou Anyan leaned against his shoulder and smiled softly.His hand stroked Ji Chen's back, as if stroking a clingy cat.

"I'm leaving, the party isn't over yet."

Ji Chen kissed his neck, "Then I'll wait for you."

Zhou Anyan said, "If you feel tired, you can go home first. I'll ask the kitchen to cook dinner, and let Dongming and Dongdong accompany you."

Ji Chen said firmly, "I will wait for you."

So Zhou Anyan smiled, "Okay."
