When Jiang Mochen returned home to cook dinner, Yan Qingchi told him about this. Jiang Mochen was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "What a coincidence."
"Yes. Since Guan Mei has already spoken to Director Fu, I'll go and see her tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask Zhang Quan to drive you there."
"Okay."
Fu Minzhi chose a coffee shop. When Yan Qingchi arrived, there was no one there. The owner of the coffee shop was a young lady who looked to be in her twenties. When she saw him come in, she greeted him and led him upstairs. When Yan Qingchi arrived on the second floor, he saw that Fu Minzhi was already there. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa by the window, looking at some drawings.
The young lady gestured for him to go ahead and left. Yan Qingchi took out his phone to check the time. He was indeed not late. In fact, he was 20 minutes early. It was just that Fu Minzhi was even earlier.
He walked over and sat down opposite Fu Minzhi. Only then did he realize that Fu Minzhi was looking at the short story that he had drawn for Qi Qi.
"I didn't expect you to be MRQ." Fu Minzhi saw that he had sat down and did not bother with formalities. He went straight to the topic and started talking about the drawing. "To be honest, I actually feel more relaxed knowing that it was you."
Yan Qingchi smiled and did not say anything. Of course, he knew what Fu Minzhi meant. He was an actor, but not a very good one. However, Fu Minzhi was a director, a very good director.
"So, I want to invite you to draw again. Your manager should have told you that I have a new drama that is about to start filming. You can come and audition for the male lead. If you are not suitable, I can also give you a supporting role."
This was indeed a very tempting offer. Not all great directors would publicly audition for their roles. Sometimes, they would already have a suitable candidate in mind, so they would only send out audition invitations to those they thought were suitable for the role. Now that Fu Minzhi had given him this invitation, Yan Qingchi felt that it was indeed very tempting. Especially since the other party had promised that even if he was not suitable, he could still be given a supporting role.
However, Yan Qingchi was a little helpless. "I'm sorry. First of all, since you already know that I'm a MRQ, you should know who this MRQ represents. These drawings are all for Qi Qi, my child. Therefore, I can't draw for other children. This goes against my original intention. Secondly, "Yan Qingchi smiled regretfully," Your offer is indeed very tempting, and I'm also very tempted, but I won't accept any movie contracts this year. So even if I really want to participate in your movie, this schedule is really not suitable. "
Fu Minzhi was a little confused. "What are you going to do this year? Why can't I act? "
"I'm not feeling well, so I need to rest for a year."
Fu Minzhi looked him up and down. "Forgive me for being blunt, but I think you look much healthier than I do."
Yan Qingchi smiled. "Do you think I need to lie to you about this? What's your status? If it wasn't because I had no other choice, why would I refuse to accept your contract? "
Fu Minzhi did not say anything else. Yan Qingchi was right. She knew her status all too well. Therefore, when she found out that the other party was actually Yan Qingchi, she felt that this matter would be easier to resolve. After all, it might not be easy for a director to convince a freelance artist, but it was much easier for a well-known director to convince an actor who had just debuted. Therefore, if Yan Qingchi was not really feeling unwell, he had no reason to reject her. If he rejected her, who knew when the next big director would be willing to give him such a guarantee?
Fu Minzhi felt a little annoyed. At this moment, the cafe owner served the coffee.
As she was about to put it down, Yan Qingchi said softly, "Sorry, I don't drink coffee."
The young lady was stunned for a moment. She did not expect him to reject her so directly. "This is the specialty of our cafe."
"Thank you, but I really don't drink coffee. Just give me a glass of water."
The young lady took the coffee back and nodded. "Okay, please wait a moment."
When Fu Minzhi saw that she had left, she continued, "Okay, then let's not talk about the movie. Right now, I'm just Yan Yan's mother. I'm asking you to write a story for my child. Are you sure you can't agree? Yan Yan's birthday is coming up. He really likes the stories you've drawn. I also think that your drawings are very educational and full of childlike interest, so I want to give them to him as a birthday present. Are you sure you can't agree? "
"Actually, if you want to give Yan Yan a birthday present, why don't you draw it yourself?" Yan Qingchi was a little confused. "Even if your drawing isn't exquisite enough, Yan Yan will definitely like what you drew for him more than what I drew for him."
"I don't have the time." Fu Minzhi said, "You also know that in our industry, it's always very busy. Especially when I'm in charge of a studio. My schedule is packed. Even sitting here talking to you today is also because I've squeezed out some time, so I can't do anything about it."
"Then you can record the story you want to tell him as an audio file and let him listen to it as a bedtime story. Wouldn't that be great too?"
Fu Minzhi smiled and shook her head. "I haven't been in contact with children's books for too long, so I don't have this concept in mind. I can't think of anything suitable to record for him."
"Since you think he likes my drawings, you can record the stories in my drawings for him."
Fu Minzhi was stunned for a moment. She did not expect this to be possible.
"You and Bo Feng are divorced and you're usually very busy. Even if Yan Yan can't see you, he will definitely miss you. So, if you record some bedtime stories for him as a birthday present, not only will it make him happy, it will also let him feel your love and care for him. At the same time, when you're not by his side in the future, your voice will accompany him. Wouldn't that be great too?"
This was indeed a great idea, and it would not take much time. Fu Minzhi felt that this was a great idea. Most importantly, she would not be by Bo Yan's side for a long time. If Bo Yan could listen to her voice, it would indeed be another form of companionship for him.
"You're right. Thank you." Fu Minzhi looked at the person in front of her. Yan Qingchi was still the same as when she first met him. He had a gentle smile on his face and was calm. He was not overjoyed by her generous offer, nor was he regretful about missing out on this opportunity. This kind of calm gentleness was indeed very suitable for the male lead of her next movie, but unfortunately, he was not available.
Fu Minzhi also felt a little regretful. In the beginning, when she did not know Yan Qingchi, she did not have a deep impression of him. She only felt that he was very good-looking and popular. Because she did not think highly of young male idols, she did not want her movie to be associated with him, so she rejected her friend's recommendation.
But in the two subsequent meetings, whether it was at his home or now, he always said the most appropriate things and did the most appropriate things. He did not go against his principles because of her fame, nor did he constantly persuade her because her schedule was not suitable. In fact, he even gave her some good suggestions.
At this moment, Fu Minzhi removed her previous prejudice against him. Even though she did not know how Yan Qingchi's acting was, Fu Minzhi felt that his attitude was very good. Whether it was as an actor or as a father, his attitude was very good.
