Chapter 11
, I'll give you both.
"Heh... It's Brother Zheng! Are you kidding me? Really? He'll even take me to the movies?" After saying that, Wan Qian went back to folding clothes.
However, Xu Zheng noticed that Wan Qian's hand trembled slightly as she folded the clothes. He also noticed the change in how the girl addressed Lin Yu.
He remembered that before Lin Yu went in to comfort her that day, she always called Lin Yu "Director." But since that day, although the girl still called him "Director" in front of Lin Yu, she had changed it to "him" when chatting with them behind his back! Or she would directly call him Lin Yu by his name.
For Xu Zheng, an experienced person, this was pretty obvious. Wan Qian had clearly developed feelings for Lin Yu, but without external encouragement, these feelings might be nipped in the bud by the cruel hand of time. So he was going to give this pretty girl a hand. If things really worked out, he would be the matchmaker between Lin Yu and Wan Qian, wouldn't that be a huge boost? In his mind, Lin Yu was definitely a high-quality stock!
"Of course it's true. I overheard it by accident, but he seems embarrassed to tell you, so he's still hesitating in the next room!" Xu Zheng said with a smile.
"Alright! I'm just letting you know. Whether you go or not is up to you. I'm leaving now!" Xu Zheng said and left Wan Qian's room.
Wan Qian, who had been focused on packing her clothes, suddenly sat down next to her luggage and started daydreaming.
Wan Qian's initial feeling towards Lin Yu was just curiosity. After all, Lin Yu was already quite famous at the time, having made a movie with a budget of 300,000 yuan that grossed nearly 10 million yuan.
So when she heard from her sisters that Lin Yu was casting for his new movie, she, who had just finished filming "The Golden Cangue", went to audition at the Beijing Film Academy with half curiosity about Lin Yu and half a try-it-out attitude.
The moment Wan Qian saw Lin Yu, her first impression was how young the director was! He was even younger than she had imagined, and quite handsome as well. In fact, compared to the already famous directors, Lin Yu's appearance was on a completely different level. So, Wan Qian couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
Then, during the audition, Lin Yu not only didn't kick her out for her somewhat impetuous words, but instead gave her an audition opportunity. Keep in mind, this was for a movie! She was a complete novice when it came to film, and Lin Yu was clearly looking to cast people from the Beijing Film Academy. She really didn't have high hopes, just taking it one step at a time. She never expected that Lin Yu would actually choose her. At that moment, she thought Lin Yu was a pretty good person.
Later, during the filming of "Lost in Thailand," she watched Lin Yu handle all the big and small matters of the crew with ease, and she felt that Lin Yu was a very talented person.
Finally, when Lin Yu was filming the scenes with Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang in the small house, she felt that the director had high expectations for her because of Lin Yu's strictness. She didn't know if she was wrong, but that was what she thought at the time.
It wasn't until she got too into character that Lin Yu called everyone away, and then went back to comfort her, only to appear clumsy and awkward, that she actually found Lin Yu somewhat endearing.
"I have to say, Lin Yu is quite attractive to young girls, both in terms of his personality and his appearance."
"But... I think I'm two years older than him!" Wan Qian thought to herself as she sat next to her luggage.
At this moment, Lin Yu was completely unaware that Xu Zheng had already set him up on a blind date. He was still conceiving the filming plans for the future. Of course, Lin Yu would not allow characters like Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf or smartphones to appear in the movie.
The next scene he's considering is the one on the train. Of course, it's impossible to actually film a train. Most scenes involving trains, planes, and the like are just empty shells; actual filming is rare, though not nonexistent.
Lin Yu wasn't in the mood for actual filming; he was thinking about whether to find an abandoned train carriage to renovate or to build a "sample" train carriage.
While he was engrossed in writing and drawing, Wan Qian, who had secretly slipped in at some point, looked at the two tickets next to Lin Yu's table and couldn't help but smile.
"Hey!"
"Wow! When did you get here?"
Looking at Wan Qian so close to him, Lin Yu almost tumbled under the table.
Seeing Lin Yu's disheveled appearance, the young lady couldn't stop laughing.
"Heh... So focused? What are you doing?"
"I'm thinking about how to shoot the next scene!" Lin Yu said slowly after calming his wildly beating heart, having sat up straight again.
"What scene is it?"
"Why are you asking this? Haven't you finished filming? Shouldn't you go home and rest for a couple of days? You're not waiting for the wrap party, are you? It'll still be about two weeks. Don't worry! I'll let you know when it's over. You've been working so hard these past few days, and I heard you basically jumped straight into this project, just finished one TV series and came straight here. Now that it's finally over, you should rest for a couple of days..."
Watching Lin Yu spout his typical straight-male language, Wan Qian felt helpless: Does he really have no emotional intelligence at all?
"Huh? Are these tickets for the premiere of 'Hero'?" Unable to bear it any longer, Wan Qian interrupted Lin Yu.
"Oh, this? Someone just gave it to me. I'm still considering whether to go or not."
"How could I not go? It's the Great Hall of the People! I've never been there before, let alone watched a movie there!"
"You want to go?"
"Mmm! I want to go!"
"Here, these two are for you. You can invite your girlfriends to go see them together. No need to thank me, consider it a reward. After all, your performance was really good; it surprised me a bit," Lin Yu said with a smile.
They didn't notice Wan Qian's face gradually darkening.
"You... Hmph! You big idiot!" The young lady, provoked by Lin Yu's blunt words, pushed away Lin Yu's hand that was handing her the ticket and stormed out of Lin Yu's room.
???
"Are you crazy?! I gave you a ticket and you're still cursing at me? What the hell?"
Completely bewildered, Director Lin was utterly unaware of the problem with his actions, instead clinging to the wishful thinking that his painstaking efforts had been wasted...
