It was already completely dark, and under the dim street lights, the two of them walked and chatted leisurely.
When the two arrived at the door of a coffee shop in the town, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped.
He pointed to an electronic locker at the entrance of the store and said with a smile, "I have prepared a gift for you. It's in that locker."
"Really? What is it?"
"You're not allowed to look at it. I will only give it to you if you guess it."
Lin Yuan covered Liu Yifei's eyes with his hands and took her to the locker.
The fingertips felt warm, like touching the finest jade; it was the feeling of caressing her skin.
"Is the door open?"
Her words interrupted Lin Yuan's reverie.
"Well, it's already open. Take your guess."
"What is it? What could it be? Of course it can only be lilies!"
Liu Yifei said the answer with a smile while pulling away Lin Yuan's hands that were covering her eyes.
"I guessed it right!"
"How do you know?" Lin Yuan seemed a little frustrated.
"How can you not smell such a strong lily scent? If you want to deceive me, covering my eyes won't be enough, unless you block my nose as well!"
"Ah, what a miscalculation!"
"It's okay, I like your gift very much."
Liu Yifei smiled and picked up the bouquet of white lilies, which was in perfect harmony with her temperament.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Yeah! Satisfied!"
"Is that enough?"
"Ah?"
Lin Yuan smiled evilly and punched the locker hard with his fist.
"Bang!"
With the vibration, a platinum strawberry necklace hidden on the upper edge of the locker fell off.
"Since you are already satisfied, I won't give this to you."
"Ah? There really is more!" Liu Yifei shouted in surprise.
Lin Yuan smiled, took off the necklace, opened the clasp, and stretched out his hands to her.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was going to help her put it on, Liu Yifei cooperated by rolling up her long hair, revealing her swan-like, slender, white neck.
His hands gently touched her neck, and the faint warmth made Lin Yuan's hands tremble slightly. He failed several times before he succeeded in fastening the clasp.
"It looks really good and suits you very well." Lin Yuan smiled to cover up his gaffe.
"Isn't this expensive? Did you buy it with your Fast and Furious earnings?"
Liu Yifei, who was born into a wealthy family, obviously knew what she was getting. This necklace costs at least five thousand US dollars, which is enough to buy a used car in North America.
But Lin Yuan was not rich; he just had a little income.
He smiled but didn't answer, his eyes full of doting, silently telling her that it was worth it.
"A bouquet of flowers is great, I'm already very happy! Don't waste your money; you earned it by risking your life. Let's return it?"
"I really like your nagging."
"I like your head!"
"It's okay. I'll make a lot of money. I'll be so successful that I won't even care about this little bit of money anymore."
"Let you go first, I'll catch up with you soon!"
"Well, I believe you. It's a bit windy outside, let's go in and have some coffee."
After all, it was early winter and the temperature at night was still a bit low.
The two pushed open the door of the coffee shop and found a seat.
"I'll buy two cups of coffee. You stay here and don't move." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"What? Taking advantage of me!" The celestial being immediately found something wrong.
After all, she studied in the country and has some common sense.
"How childish! Why do you men like to play the father-son joke so much? Do you want me to call you dad too?" she said contemptuously.
You even understand this? Lin Yuan was a little surprised, but a sense of dissatisfaction rose in his heart.
"I don't mind if you call me that at some point in the future."
You don't understand this, right?
"What's the meaning?"
She really doesn't understand…
No, Lin Yuan suddenly found that her ears were red.
This was embarrassing. He originally thought that Liu Yifei didn't understand.
But...
She! Listen! Understand!
Just out of girlish modesty, she pretended not to understand.
But her red ears betrayed her mercilessly.
What to do?
Of course, we can only pretend to be ignorant even though we know the truth.
Lin Yuan was very thick-skinned and quickly adjusted his mindset. He thought:
If a girl often listens to a man's dirty jokes, then there is a high probability that she and the man will become the protagonists of the dirty jokes.
The same is true in reverse. She will be my woman sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if I accidentally tell a dirty joke!
So Lin Yuan replied confidently: "Children should not ask questions about adults!"
The celestial being was furious when she heard this answer, but she couldn't expose it, so her face turned even redder.
Just then, someone pushed the door open in the coffee shop.
When Lin Yuan saw the person coming, he waved to him to come over.
The person who came was Director Cohen, and Lin Yuan had also made an appointment to meet him here tonight.
"Do you have anything important to do? Then I'll go back first." Liu Yifei stood up and planned to take the opportunity to leave.
But Lin Yuan reached out and held her.
"It won't hurt to watch. You'll be meeting directors regularly in the future. I'll take you home when we're done."
"Is it appropriate? Will it not disturb you?"
In fact, Liu Yifei was also quite curious about how actors talked about work with directors.
"If it were anyone else I would find it inappropriate, but you are not someone else."
This answer obviously satisfied her, and she sat aside with a smile without saying anything more.
After Director Cohen sat down and Lin Yuan introduced each other, they began to discuss work directly.
Director Cohen said, "I have reviewed your proposal and script revisions with Director Johnston, and he is very satisfied."
Lin Yuan was naturally not surprised by this.
He knew the negative aspects of the film's reputation after its release, so he just made targeted changes.
This includes the fact that many viewers were dissatisfied with the plot in which the Tyrannosaurus Rex was killed by the Spinosaurus.
You know, the Tyrannosaurus Rex can be regarded as the signature of the "Jurassic" series of movies and is extremely popular.
How dare Director Johnston let the protagonist, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, be killed by a random soldier?
Most viewers expressed their disapproval.
In the reboot "Jurassic World" more than ten years later, the director specially arranged for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to smash the Spinosaurus fossil skeleton when it appeared, which was considered to be a way to vent the anger of that scene.
"I believe that if the movie can be modified according to your plan, it will be a big hit!" Director Cohen added.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, then asked, "Thank you for your affirmation, but it can't be all good news, right? There are always various difficulties when trying to do things."
Director Cohen nodded and blurted out a series of words:
"Yes. The biggest obstacle is additional investment, but Universal Pictures will never pay for your plan."
"Simply put, we're out of money."
"So no matter how good your plan is, it will just have to be shelved."
"After your calculations, how much additional investment is needed?" Lin Yuan asked.
"10 million dollars!"
