He Yi'an, what do you know?
Chapter 84 He Yi'an, what do you know? (Bonus chapter for the previous donations)
"Sissi, what are you looking at?"
Liu Xiaoli pushed open the door, carrying a cup of hot milk: "It's time to drink your milk. Don't pay attention to what's being said online, just focus on playing your role well!"
"I know, Mom!"
"Weren't you just looking at online comments? What were you looking at?"
Liu Yifei quickly hid her phone behind her back: "N-nothing."
Liu Xiaoli looked at her suspiciously: "Was that a message from He Yi'an?"
Liu Yifei's face flushed instantly: "Mom, how did you know?"
"Do you think I wouldn't read your expression?" Liu Xiaoli handed her the milk. "What did he say?"
"I congratulated him on winning the award, and he just gave a normal answer," Liu Yifei said softly.
Did you invite him to visit the set?
"Invited."
"What did he say?"
"Mom, they're busy making movies abroad—"
Liu Xiaoli was speechless. She really wanted to tell her silly daughter that she felt guilty every time she told a lie, and then automatically lowered her voice.
She didn't even need to ask any more questions to know that he was definitely lying.
But since he was her own son, she was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's invite him again. I have something I want to talk to him about when he arrives."
Liu Yifei looked up: "What is it?"
"Regarding the film," Liu Xiaoli didn't elaborate, but simply instructed, "Don't worry, it's nothing else. Just focus on filming and don't get distracted."
"Oh." Liu Yifei nodded, but she didn't really think so.
During this time, she truly experienced what the entertainment industry is like.
The unrealistic expectations that existed before have long been shattered, and her mother, having encountered too many people with ill intentions, has become even more protective of her.
Having met many other people living behind masks, Liu Yifei felt that He Yi'an, her friend who often bullied and annoyed her, was becoming more and more real.
After seeing that her mother had really left, Liu Yifei took out her phone again and opened the message sent by He Yi'an.
Look at the contents above.
"That rascal, he's always thinking up naughty ideas—"
After thinking about what Liu Xiaoli had just said, she sent He Yi'an a message: "He Yi'an, can you come visit me on set?"
After sending the message, Liu Yifei suddenly felt something was wrong. It seemed a bit too forward. She wanted to delete it, but found that it had already been sent.
So she quickly typed another line: "Changchang is also in our production team. Actually, she misses you!"
After the message was sent, Liu Yifei breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, before she could even put down her phone, she quickly received a reply: "Oh, Sisi wants me to visit the set, huh? Since you've already said so, of course I'll come. Besides, I have something for you."
Seeing that this was clearly only a reply to her first message, Liu Yifei pouted: "Who wanted you to visit the set? It was Mom who asked—"
However, after seeing what He Yi'an had given her, Liu Yifei felt a warmth in her heart and quickly typed, "What is it?"
"It's a secret. You'll find out when the time comes."
"Hmph, just trying to be mysterious." Liu Yifei said this, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
So she posted another message: "Then be careful on your way. You've been all over the news lately, overshadowing mine. Remember to disguise yourself when you come, or you'll be surrounded by reporters."
"Don't worry, I have experience."
Liu Yifei stared at the screen, hesitated for a moment, and then typed another line: "He Yi'an, you're really amazing."
After sending the message, she immediately flipped her phone face down on the table, her heart pounding.
A moment later, my phone vibrated.
She turned it over and saw that He Yi'an had replied with three words: "It's alright."
Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and posted another message: "What do you mean 'not bad'? You're the best director at Venice!"
"So what? In your eyes, I'm still the same He Yi'an who brings you books and comes to visit you on set whenever you ask."
When Liu Yifei saw the message, she was stunned for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat.
She recalled some things that happened when she first went to the set of "The Story of a Noble Family", and the scenes of He Yi'an teaching her some precautions, supporting her with the director and producer, and giving her books and writing down acting methods.
I remember how he dared to argue his case and forcefully fight back when everyone attacked him.
She remembered his constant encouragement and support, his comforting words, and his gentle trust in her.
Although she and He Yi'an had barely seen each other since the time they met on set, Liu Yifei felt as if news of him was everywhere.
Then think about everything you've suffered during this time, and how everyone around you is fighting and arguing fiercely for their own interests.
She genuinely felt that growing up wasn't fun at all.
The adult world is so complicated, it's not pure at all.
It wasn't even as genuine as the things He Yi'an said when he deliberately tried to annoy her.
So, everything still comes down to comparison!
Without comparison, Liu Yifei, who has always lived in a honey pot, really thinks that the world is just like the one around her?
"He Yi'an," she murmured the name, then looked down and typed, "You promised to visit the set, come back soon."
After sending the message, she added, "I—you have no idea how much I've missed you since you started getting all the news. I've nagged you about it so many times."
After sending that sentence, her face turned bright red, because it implied that she was being unfairly blamed.
"I understand!" However, He Yi'an replied to the message again instantly.
"What do you know!" Liu Yifei suddenly became a little frustrated and continued typing, "Why aren't you replying to the messages about Changchang? Aren't you already friends?"
Liu Yifei waited expectantly for He Yi'an's reply, but a moment later, her phone vibrated.
I opened it and took a look.
"You don't need to explain, I understand!"
"Ahhh~" Seemingly recalling the playful smile on He Yi'an's face when he said those words, Liu Yifei blushed slightly. "He Yi'an, what do you know?!"
Outside the dressing room, Liu Xiaoli stood at the door, about to push it open, but upon hearing the noise inside, her expression became thoughtful.
"Could it be that He Yi'an is too busy and Qianqian couldn't invite him?"
He Yi'an is now the best director at Venice, a status that is incomparable to what he was before.
However, after carefully recalling the details of her relationship with He Yi'an, Liu Xiaoli estimated that it probably wasn't him.
At least He Yi'an doesn't seem like that kind of person.
During this time, she truly came into contact with and understood the film industry, only to discover that movies and TV series are completely different things.
-
It seems that none of the people around her have any contact with anyone in the film industry.
The film industry is too closed off.
Nowadays, the only truly influential film directors in the Chinese entertainment industry are Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige.
As for the other older generation, they are either teaching or have stopped making films, while other film directors are either too bad, underground directors, or directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It's impossible to touch it.
After going around in circles, she realized that the only person she could contact was He Yi'an.
And He Yi'an just happened to become the Best Director at the Venice Film Festival.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoli really couldn't believe that He Yi'an could win the award, but he did.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoli did not open the door.
Now that my daughter is grown up, all I need to do is shield her from things that shouldn't be there. As for the friends she made before, we can continue to get along with them.
You can't cut off everything, or you'll end up making enemies.
To put it more bluntly, if she could get along well with He Yi'an, it would definitely help Qianqian's future.
He had always taken good care of Sisi. Although he showed some signs of inappropriate behavior, he never did anything out of line. He was a reliable child.
Most importantly, besides being a director, he is also the owner of Langyuan, so there is still a significant difference in their status.
Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
