"Have a seat." Chen Yiyang motioned for the two to sit down.
Then he carefully observed the two.
Can these two play lovers?
Chen Yiyang scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "You played siblings in Yu Nianqing's drama, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen," Guo Qiling answered Chen Yiyang.
The two appeared somewhat nervous in front of Chen Yiyang.
It's just that the legends about Chen Yiyang are too intimidating.
Moreover, his series of brilliant achievements are even more frightening.
These two certainly didn't want to say anything wrong that might annoy Chen Yiyang before they figured out his temperament and thus bid farewell to the entertainment industry forever.
"Can you two perform a short scene for me to see?" Chen Yiyang, this outsider, could only think of this method.
Fortunately, while these two were shy in speech, there was no ambiguity when it came to acting.
They immediately performed a scene of a stern elder sister lecturing a mischievous younger brother in Chen Yiyang's office.
"Amazing." After watching, Chen Yiyang immediately applauded.
These two really had the sibling vibes.
And it clearly looked like they were real siblings.
Truly amazing.
Deng Wen, the director, might just be into this, deliberately letting a pair of siblings play as lovers.
Anyway, it's a light comedy, so the comedic atmosphere will slightly dilute the incestuous feeling.
Instead, it might attract people to this on-screen couple.
Damn, why does it feel like I have some issues too?
Chen Yiyang seriously and thoughtfully pondered.
These two might indeed have no issue starring in a romantic comedy.
But it merely poses as no issue.
There are so many male actors in the industry; finding another male actor isn't impossible.
Yu Nianqing hasn't aired yet, and even if it has, Guo Qiling as a supporting role wouldn't be too popular, right?
So why not find a first or second-tier male star to further stabilize the show's baseline ratings?
Chen Yiyang couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Therefore, he courteously asked Guo Qiling and Song Tie to go back and rest, saying he would think about it.
That night, while staying at home playing games, Chen Yiyang received a call from Zhang Yuling.
"I heard you bought a house in Lin'an, I specially came over to check it out, is that okay?"
"Of course, you're welcome." Chen Yiyang immediately said, "When are you coming over?"
"Right now."
"Huh?"
"Yes, I'm already in Lin'an. Came here with some friends for something, then thought of you."
Zhang Yuling and Chen Yiyang could be considered old friends.
Chen Yiyang always had a good impression of Zhang Yuling; this girl interacted well with people and had abilities.
They might have plenty of opportunities to collaborate in the future.
No matter how slow Chen Yiyang was, he wouldn't believe Zhang Yuling would suddenly give him a call after arriving in Lin'an, saying she wants to visit.
According to Zhang Yuling's usual ways, she'd start contacting and scheduling before coming to Lin'an.
So Chen Yiyang asked, "Are you coming over alone or with friends?"
"Bringing a friend over, you don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all, just come over."
Originally, Chen Yiyang was thinking about asking the villa's young accountant to find someplace else to stay for the night.
No need for that now.
Best let her stay obediently in her own room.
Called the villa's steward to prepare some simple supper.
Chen Yiyang waited in the villa for less than an hour before Zhang Yuling arrived.
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see." Chen Yiyang and Zhang Yuling embraced briefly.
Then turned to look at the person beside Zhang Yuling.
"Grandpa Yu, why are you here too."
"I heard from Yuling you're a hidden collector in the country, so I shamelessly tagged along," Grandpa Yu grinned and shook hands with Chen Yiyang.
Grandpa Yu, Yu Qian, was quite famous domestically.
His side job was performing crosstalks with Guo Qiling's father.
His primary business was collecting and raising animals.
A rather intriguing person.
Despite the age gap between Grandpa Yu and Chen Yiyang, they got along quite well.
Mainly because, in order to find hidden treasures, Chen Yiyang learned a lot of knowledge, which Grandpa Yu happened to excel in.
Initially, Zhang Yuling could interject into their conversation.
Before long, Chen Yiyang directly asked Zhang Yuling to find the young accountant to have fun with, while he took Grandpa Yu to tour his collection room.
"Is this a Warring States Crystal Cup?" Grandpa Yu, worthy of being Grandpa Yu, immediately recognized what most would think was a glass cup.
"Yes, that's it."
"This wouldn't happen to be the one from the Lin'an Museum."
Grandpa Yu's voice noticeably shook.
He knew Chen Yiyang's background wasn't simple, but no matter how not simple, he couldn't have moved things from a museum to his house, could he?
"Not that one, this thing is from my personal collection, one in the museum, one with me."
"Impressive." Grandpa Yu gave a thumbs-up.
"What is this?" Grandpa Yu quickly looked at the Four-armed Guanyin Statue.
"A Four-armed Guanyin from the Qing Dynasty that Nepal presented to the Qing Dynasty Royal Family, which I bought back from the United States," Chen Yiyang said.
"Back when the country was chaotic, those American adventurers managed to take a lot of artifacts from us. It's great to have one returned."
Grandpa Yu nodded.
Then he turned his head to see a batch of Western Xia relics and the book "Pearl in the Palm," which Chen Yiyang had recently brought back from Russia.
"I remember the original of this book is in the Russian Oriental Research Institute?" Grandpa Yu carefully examined if Chen Yiyang's book was a replica.
"Officially, it's still there, but before long, it should catch fire over there, and I'll have rediscovered the original copy here."
After Chen Yiyang said this, Grandpa Yu stood in respectful awe.
This network, this background.
Even more exaggerated than the rumors in the film circle.
"A Russian friend helped me get it, I have some small businesses over there."
"Can't be selling arms, right." No matter what, Grandpa Yu couldn't figure out why those Russians would prefer to let dragons burn warehouses than to sell those things to Chen Yiyang.
"Haha." Chen Yiyang chuckled twice. Didn't expect Grandpa Yu to guess correctly.
Grandpa Yu felt a bit afraid to continue looking here.
Afraid of seeing something earth-shattering and then being silenced.
However, the collection at Chen Yiyang's place was too rich, making him reluctant to leave, so he continued to look around.
Japanese noble short swords, European medieval helmets, Ancient Dian Kingdom's Shell Storage Vessel, extremely rare Pan Gu Tong Bao, Tang Dynasty silver plates, Japan-Korea Annexation Commemorative Medal, Wang Mang's single-edged sword.
Grandpa Yu realized that Chen Yiyang was indeed a genuine personal collector who only bought what he liked.
Moreover, what he bought were very rare, extremely scarce items outside.
The richness of these artifacts was comparable to some small museums.
And the average quality was very high.
"Originally, I brought a Qing Dynasty Snuff Bottle, planning to give it to you. Now, it seems a bit inadequate." Grandpa Yu said, taking out a Qing Dynasty Snuff Bottle.
