At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Zhenzhen talked about another thing.

"There's something I want to tell you, don't be angry."

"You're giving me a heads-up in advance, so I guess it's something that could easily lead to misunderstanding. In that case, it's probably your family arranging a blind date for you."

Ye Zhenzhen covered her mouth with her hands. "You're amazing! I didn't say anything, but you guessed it all."

After watching the original drama, if Qin Fan couldn't guess this, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

"Tell me about his background. Let me hear how powerful this rival is. Next time I return to the Magic City, I'll be prepared to face him head-on."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just a meeting. I have no choice. The blind dates my mom introduced to us are all people we, small-time local tycoons from the urban-rural fringe, can't afford to offend. Even if I'm reluctant, I have to consider my parents' feelings."

"If I accidentally offend someone and it affects our business, I will be guilty of a great sin."

Qin Fan frowned, "Did your mother really say that?"

"what happened?"

"Oh, it's okay. I mean, your mother must have gone to great lengths to get you on a blind date."

Ye Zhenzhen deeply agreed, "That's right! I was pushed so hard that I had no choice but to agree to meet my parents. I told you this in advance because I was worried you might misunderstand."

"As for who my blind date is, what their job is, or what their family background is, I don't know anything about that. My mom told me to meet them first, have a chat, and see if we're compatible."

Of course we get along!

According to the original drama, David had already fallen in love with Ye Zhenzhen when she was studying for a doctorate abroad, and he chased her all the way from abroad to China.

Qin Fan even suspected that this blind date was also designed by David.

In the original drama, this blind date was quite weird.

According to what Ye Zhenzhen's parents said later, this blind date was first proposed by David's mother, who found a middleman to intercede, and Ye Zhenzhen's parents reluctantly agreed because they couldn't save face.

In other words, Ye Zhenzhen's parents were actually not very satisfied with David's family, and a series of bloody events that followed also proved that her parents' dissatisfaction was justified.

There is something illogical here. Since they can't save face, it means they don't want Ye Zhenzhen and David to be together. Then why don't they make it clear to Ye Zhenzhen before the blind date?

In order to get Ye Zhenzhen to go on a blind date, her mother even lied that David's family was richer and more powerful than her own family and they couldn't afford to offend them. For the sake of her parents' business, she had to go even if she didn't want to.

Ye Zhenzhen was a soft-hearted person. Knowing the situation, she went anyway even though she was reluctant.

What's even more bizarre is that when Ye Zhenzhen got together with David later, her parents regretted their decision and felt that it was not appropriate to marry into a family like David's. They tried to get Ye Zhenzhen to break up with David several times.

Her previous behavior showed that her parents were very satisfied with the blind date, so they deliberately lied and tricked Ye Zhenzhen into going on a blind date. However, her subsequent behavior suddenly showed that they were dissatisfied. This is particularly contradictory.

I really want to ask, what do this couple think of their daughter's lifelong affairs?

What they did was too frivolous!

Ye Zhenzhen was a little panicked after not hearing Qin Fan's voice for a long time.

She quickly said, "Qin Fan, if you don't agree, then I won't go. As for offending that family, our Ye family is not something that anyone can bully. It shouldn't be a big problem."

.......

684: The fall of Ye Zhenzhen, the face-obsessed girl!

Qin Fan smiled and said, "I'm not angry. I'm just wondering how I can politely reject the blind date without offending it. How about this? I'll find someone to go on the blind date with you."

Ye Zhenzhen was very puzzled. "I haven't even met him yet, how do you know he will pursue me? Do you have the ability to predict the future?"

"Think about it, the other family is richer and more powerful than yours, and they even took the initiative to ask your mother to arrange this blind date. Obviously, they've investigated you before, and it's not ruled out that they've already contacted you, but you just didn't notice."

"At the very least, they must have seen your photos, and the whole family must have been relatively satisfied, which is why what happened later happened."

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly understood, "You mean, they didn't set this blind date because they were attracted to me, not my family background?"

"Correct."

"If that's the case, shouldn't I ask my mom to tell me about their family situation as well? That would be fair."

Qin Fan was speechless. "Why would you even think about fairness? What I want to tell you is that this blind date was probably a premeditated plot."

"He knows you, but you know nothing about him. This way, he has countless ways to make you like him. Even if it doesn't reach the level of love, at least he will make you identify with him."

Ye Zhenzhen felt uneasy after hearing what Qin Fan said, and followed up with a question, "Then how can we verify whether the other party had a premeditated plan?"

"It depends on the situation. One situation is that the blind date partner is a stranger. You have never met this person before, but he knows everything about your preferences."

"From the way they dress to the way they talk and behave, to ordering your favorite dishes and chatting with you about topics that are basically of interest to you, in this case, you should be alert."

"After all, we're strangers. How could we possibly have such similar interests and hobbies? Often, when two people get along so well, it's probably because one person is catering to the other's preferences."

"In another case, you've met your blind date and you seem quite familiar with them. This situation is really hard to judge. After all, you're acquaintances and have a certain understanding of each other. It's best to wait and see how things progress."

"Suppose, after seeing you, this person pretends to be surprised and says he didn't know he was going on a blind date with you. Then, in front of you, he calls his mother and tells her that the blind date is not going to work."

"When you think it's just a coincidence, he will take the initiative to ask you out for dinner, and you will most likely not refuse."

"After that, he'll find a series of excuses to get close to you, like saying he just came back from abroad and isn't very familiar with the Magic City, and he wants you to do him a small favor and owe you a small favor."

"After the work is done, treating you to a meal to express gratitude is actually pursuing you."

Even though Qin Fanren was not in the Magic City, he was still very unhappy when he heard that Ye Zhenzhen was going on a blind date. How could he just watch his woman being taken away by someone else?

Therefore, Ye Zhenzhen was given a thorn in the heart in advance. When Ye Zhenzhen met David and found that he was exactly the same as Qin Fan described, she would immediately think of the word premeditated.

It would be really weird if I had any feelings for David!

Ye Zhenzhen's thoughts gradually became clearer.

"In general, if I'm meeting a stranger, I'll see if he's deliberately trying to please me in some small details. If he's an acquaintance, I'll see if he continues to pester me after the blind date. Is that what you mean?"

"You've summarized it perfectly. As long as it meets the criteria I mentioned, it's basically certain that the other party planned to meet you."

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly asked playfully, "Speaking of which, how come you're so skilled at this? Tell me the truth, how many girls have you tricked with this method?"

"With my conditions, there are plenty of women crying and throwing themselves at me. Why would I need to lie? You underestimate my charm."

These words really touched Ye Zhenzhen's heart. She fell in love with Qin Fan because of his stunning looks, and after learning about Nan Li's existence, she was still willing to be his lover.

There’s no way, the love of those who love looks is so simple and direct.

Just look at his face. I don’t care whether he has other women or not. I don’t care about that.

"That's true. Now, every night before I go to bed, I have to look at your photo before I can fall asleep. I set the photo of us together as my wallpaper."

"Won't you get bored if you see it too much?" Qin Fan asked curiously.

"I never get tired of watching it! I'm going to stop talking to you because my work schedule is almost up."

"Love you, bye!"

Ye Zhenzhen hung up the phone, jumped out of bed and went to wash up.

Qin Fan put down his phone and continued to sleep while hugging Xu Hongdou.

……

Two days later, Lin Zhijie brought the crew of "A Little Dilemma" to Dali. After a simple lunch, he rushed to Yunmiao Village alone.

Qin Fan owns a film and television company called Star Pictures.

Lin Zhijie is a gold medal director and producer under Star Films, responsible for the drama "Little Willingness".

Some time ago, Qin Fan noticed that Xingmang Pictures was about to shoot an urban drama - "The Dilemma of Love". He found that the plot outline of this drama had many similarities with the plot setting of "A Little Willingness".

At that time, Qin Fan wanted to take this opportunity to film the story of "A Little Willingness".

So he revised the script of "The Dilemma of Love" and changed its original name to "Little Willingness".

In the teahouse in the courtyard, Lin Zhijie handed the script he brought to Qin Fan for review.

"This is the script for Xiao Shede you gave me last time. I asked the writing team to optimize the plot. Please see if there is anything else that needs to be revised."

Qin Fan had a photographic memory, so he flipped through the script very quickly and finished reading the plot in less than twenty minutes.

“There are quite a few changes here.”

"The original script was too fragmented. We were worried that the audience wouldn't be able to accept it halfway through, so we simply pointed out from the beginning that these were two worlds: one was the real world, and the other was Nan Jianlong's fantasy world."

"As for the previous plot, we can insert it in the form of flashbacks and recollections. This way, the audience will be more receptive."

"Is this the suggestion from the film review team?" Qin Fan asked.

"Yes, I have to say that the existence of the film review team is still positive. They have a deeper understanding of the market than the editorial team and are better able to grasp the audience's preferences. Some of the suggestions they put forward from a business perspective are very helpful to us."

Seeing him speak so highly of the film review team, Qin Fan casually asked, "There should be quite a bit of controversy, right?"

.......

685: Acting as yourself!

Lin Zhijie laughed. "Of course there are controversies. You know, writers tend to be a bit arrogant. More than once, the editorial team has privately criticized the film review team, saying they're obsessed with money and lack any artistic talent."

Qin Fan closed the script. "I founded Starlight Pictures to serve Misha's overall strategy. The fashion and entertainment circles are inextricably linked. As long as Starlight Pictures can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, Misha's influence will rise to a new level."

"The entertainment industry is at the forefront of trends. Whoever can control this area will have an advantage in the direction of popular trends. This is what I value and is also Misia's future development goal."

"Whether the films produced by Star Pictures are a hit and profitable should be considered behind this strategy. What you need to do is to find ways to expand Star Pictures' influence both inside and outside the industry, not how much money it makes."

It was the first time that Lin Zhijie heard Qin Fan’s positioning of Starlight Pictures, and he suddenly realized it.

Lin Zhijie's question came again, "If that's the case, why did you still film Xiao She De? This drama has little to do with fashion, right?"

"Don't you think education issues are more likely to spark discussion these days? Frankly, they're just trying to capitalize on the buzz. Starlight Pictures wants to establish itself in the film and television industry, so they can't turn every film into a commercial, right?"

Of course, Qin Fan would not tell him that the purpose of filming Xiao Shede was to educate Nan Li and let her see how outrageous her performance was in the play.

Lin Zhijie nodded in understanding.

Qin Fan continued, "There's basically nothing wrong with the plot. The overall style alternates between light and dark, focusing on the conflicts in the real world while the fantasy world is peaceful and full of happy families. The contrast is so strong that just reading the script gives me goosebumps."

"I also think this script is very good and I can't wait to film it."

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Zhijie said goodbye and left. He still had to go to the village committee to discuss a series of filming issues with Secretary Li.

Not long after Lin Zhijie left, Yan Peng suddenly came to the courtyard.

"Brother Fan, I've been looking for you for a long time. Turns out you were hiding here drinking tea."

Qin Fan glared at him angrily, "Didn't I tell you to learn skills from Old Ye? Did you sneak away again?"

After all, Yan Peng is his brother-in-law. Even though Qin Fan has no hope for him, he still gives him a chance and lets him learn from Ye Jinyan.

Ye Jinyan has been a leader in the real estate industry for decades, so his abilities should not be underestimated. However, as he grows older, his emotions become more important than his desire to make money, which is why his performance is so poor.

If Yan Peng follows him and studies hard, he will definitely learn a lot of useful things.

"Of course not. I'm studying really hard this time. Eh? What is this?"

As he spoke, Yan Peng took a sip of tea, saw the script on the table, picked it up and flipped through it.

At first I didn't take it seriously and just took a look.

But after watching for a few minutes, he gradually became attracted by the plot.

Qin Fan didn't disturb him. He drank tea and chatted with his girlfriends on WeChat.

An hour later, Yan Peng scratched his head.

"Why does this book look so familiar? Especially Peng Yan and Yu Lan's family. Peng Yan is lazy and Yu Lan is a pushover. They are quite similar to ours."

Qin Fan thought, how could they not be similar? It was just a script created by your family, and even the names of the male and female protagonists were their names reversed.

"What do you think of this book?"

"Very exciting. Is this the scene you're going to film?"

"Yes, we are already doing the preliminary preparations."

Yan Peng suddenly became interested. He lay on the table, stretched his head forward as far as he could like a pug, and stared at Qin Fan with his big eyes.

"Brother Fan, what do you think of me? I'm the real-life replica of Peng Yan in the drama. Why don't you let me play Peng Yan in this drama?"

"You're not a professional, do you have the acting skills? This drama has a huge investment. If you mess it up, where will I go to cry?"

"I'm acting in my true colors! In this world of film and television, what actor can act more realistically and more touchingly than I can in real life?"

Yan Peng pointed to a scene in the script and said, "Look at the scene where Yu Lan and Peng Yan are arguing. Yu Lan pointed at Peng Yan's nose and cursed him for several minutes without taking a breath. After the argument, she locked him out. It's a true portrayal of Tian Yulan and me!"

"If I were to act this out, being able to play the role to the bone would be a piece of cake. I would definitely portray a henpecked husband to perfection and leave the audience mesmerized..."
