Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 158 Dao Heart Broken
It can be said that every popular female star has experienced being slandered by pornographic rumors.

Rumored romance is even easier.

Isn’t Liu Yifei enough of her inexplicable love affairs?

She plays the piano and basketball. It is only because of the lack of job opportunities and exposure in the past two years that the media has let her go.

Now another mysterious man has been exposed. Liu Yifei has neither paid attention nor responded.

Liu Ye had just finished filming a scene and it was her turn to go on stage next. She had no time to read this kind of gossip.

But the love affairs of beautiful girls always attract so much attention. After this news broke, it attracted a lot of attention within two days.

People were discussing who this mysterious man was.
However, some sharp-eyed netizens noticed something strange about the photos:
"This car looks so familiar. Isn't this Land Rover owned by director Li Qiutang? It's the car he drives most often." He must be a fan of Li Qiutang, otherwise he wouldn't pay attention to such details.

With this said, more and more movie fans think that the mysterious man is Li Qiutang.

Then an extra who claimed to have filmed in Hengdian broke the news: "It's too hot in Hengdian now. According to my buddy there, the people in Time are sleeping during the day and filming at night. This should be the director and actors having breakfast together after filming. It's no big deal."

Since the real person did not respond, this statement was accepted by many people, especially Liu Yifei's fans.

Is it worth publishing a news story that the director and actors had a meal together after filming?

If you have the time to pay attention to an actor filming on a TV set, you might as well pay attention to Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi. The two of them were fighting on "Perfect Match". Isn't that more interesting than "In Time"?
However, Li Qiutang's fans are also thinking about a question. If Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei were really together, they would seem to be a good match.

After Liu Yifei appeared on the show, she realized that she had underestimated the difficulty of "In Time".

Although she did a lot of homework before filming, she still found it very difficult to face Liu Ye, Zhang Guoli, and Tom Hiddleston from the UK.

Li Qiutang would talk about her.

"How come? Is it that difficult?!"

"Don't just stand there."

"You don't put your heart into it at all, and your understanding of the characters is superficial!"

"I gave you a few months to do my homework, and this is how you show it to me? I took dozens of pages of notes, but what's the point?"

But what can she do? After talking about Liu Yifei, Li Qiutang still had to explain everything to her one by one.

Fortunately, the colleagues in the crew are all very nice. Liu Ye, Zhang Guoli and others also help Liu Yifei analyze the characters and the plot. When not filming, they take her through the scenes over and over again.

"Yifei, you have a problem," Zhang Guoli discovered when rehearsing a play for her, "When you know you didn't perform well, you will touch your forehead unconsciously. If you correct this problem, the audience will notice it and it will ruin the play."

"Is there?" Liu Yifei was unaware of this subconscious action.

"Yes, it's very obvious." Zhang Guoli held the script in one hand and touched his forehead with the other. "This kind of action is fine once or twice, but the audience will know it after more times. Come on, let's do it again."

Liu Yifei knew that Li Qiutang said this for the sake of the play. He was the director and was responsible for hundreds of people in the crew and an investment of 1 million yuan. The pressure was enormous.

But knowing is one thing and understanding is another.

Liu Yifei certainly didn't agree with Li Qiutang's words that she wasn't serious and couldn't act, but she didn't dare to talk back on the set, so she could only argue with Li Qiutang in her heart:
"You said I can't act, but when I was acting, you were still working as an assistant for others with a broken film on your back."

"I didn't take my wounds seriously, and you were the one who asked me to treat my injuries. Now you are the one who says I don't take my wounds seriously. You have said all the good things, so what can I say?"

"Humph! You said you liked me, but you said that in front of so many people. I don't care about my dignity!"

"I won't hold your hand next time."

Then he cursed Li Qiutang in his heart.

But after scolding Li Qiutang, he still had to go and perform obediently.

On this day, perhaps Liu Yifei couldn't follow the play, and Li Qiutang said a few words to her, which made her feel really uncomfortable. After the play, Liu Yifei locked herself in the room and ignored everyone.

Her assistant had no choice but to come to Li Qiutang for help.

Li Qiutang came to the door of Liu Yifei's room and waved to let everyone go: "Come on, let me talk."

"Can you do it?" asked the assistant director.

"What can I do? I said that to people on the set, and I have to comfort them. You guys should go and have a rest." Li Qiutang even drove away Liu Yifei's assistant.

After everyone left, Li Qiutang knocked on Liu Yifei's door: "Yifei, it's me, open the door."

Liu Yifei knew from her room that there were a bunch of people outside. She only heard Li Qiutang say outside, "Hello, room service."

Liu Yifei chuckled. What a bad excuse!

Li Qiutang said again: "Yifei, I'm the only one outside, please open the door. After all, I'm the director, please give me some face."

With a click, the door opened.

Liu Yifei said: "The director came alone to knock on the actress' door. Is there such a rule in the crew? What will happen if someone sees it?"

Li Qiutang smiled and slid into Liu Yifei's room, saying, "A director shouldn't knock on an actress' door, but it's only natural for a boyfriend to knock on his girlfriend's door."

Then he pulled Liu Yifei's hand and asked, "Are you angry with me?"

Liu Yifei shook off his hand and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"You know what it's like when you work on a film set. You have two different faces on and off the set."

Liu Yifei said: "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself. I didn't act well and delayed the progress of the crew." The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.

Li Qiutang also sat cross-legged next to Liu Yifei: "No one blames you."

"But I blame myself." Liu Yifei was about to cry, "I've acted in quite a few dramas, how come I still act like this? When I watch the replay, I feel like I can't act."

Liu Yifei's confidence in acting has been basically shattered in the past few days. He can't achieve the same precision and depth as Liu Ye and Zhang Guoli.

Li Qiutang said: "Liu Ye and Teacher Guo Li are basically the best actors in the country. It's normal that I can't compare to them."

"But after all, we were filming together, so I would compare, and my colleagues in the crew would also compare, as I had so many scenes with them."

"How about I call your mother to accompany you?"

"No." Liu Yifei refused, "I don't want my mother to see me like this."

"You know you don't look good like this, don't you?" Li Qiutang took out two tissues and handed them over. "You're so old, and you're still crying."

"I didn't cry," Liu Yifei said stubbornly, "The air conditioner was too strong and it blew into my eyes." She also sniffed.

"Okay," Li Qiutang smiled, "Do you want something to eat? I'll go get it for you."

"No, just sit with me for a while."

"Okay, I'll sit with you for a while." Li Qiutang sat down again.

"Why are you sitting so far away? Do you think I would eat you? Come over here and sit."

Li Qiutang moved her butt closer to her.

"Come closer. Didn't you say you like me? Why don't you dare get close to me?"

Li Qiutang moved a little closer, and their shoulders were pressed against each other.

Liu Yifei put her arm around Li Qiutang and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Am I particularly useless?"

"How can I like you if you are useless?"

"Hateful." Liu Yifei nudged Li Qiutang.

After sitting for a while, Liu Yifei suddenly said, "I'm hungry."

"Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

"No, there are instant noodles in that bag. Boil some water and make me a box."
