Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 169: Just play the role of a vase!

"Xixi, listen to me." Li Qiutang certainly had a reason, "You see, I can't use your ID to register, so I can only use mine. One ID can only book one room. I asked the front desk to give me a room with better conditions, and they gave me this room."

"Can't you get a twin room?"

"I didn't think so much at the time. I just decided to get a room to sleep for one night and set off on my journey tomorrow morning. I'm really sleepy now. I want to take a shower and go to bed first." Li Qiutang drove for 10 hours today. This was more tiring than filming 10 hours of drama. He was really dying.

After saying this, Li Qiutang ignored Liu Yifei, took out some spare clothes and toiletries from her bag, and went into the bathroom.

Liu Yifei sat on the bed, listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom, at a loss. Was the progress too fast? I'm not ready yet. What if he force me? What does that feel like? Will it be more comfortable than doing it myself?

Liu Yifei walked around the room and saw the safety equipment placed on the bedside. Her face turned red. What should he do? Should he give it to her or not?
When Li Qiutang came out of the shower, she saw Liu Yifei sitting on the sofa pretending to read a book.

"I'm ready, you wash it."

Liu Yifei put down her book and saw her boyfriend was only wearing a pair of shorts with his upper body naked. She said, "Put on some clothes!"

"He's just shirtless. You've seen it before." It was so hot filming on the set that Li Qiutang and the photographer often went shirtless.

"It's the same on the set as in the hotel."

Li Qiutang didn't listen to her: "Hurry up and take a shower. I'm so sleepy."

Liu Yifei carried Li Qiutang on her back and took out her spare clothes from her bag, put them in a small plastic bag, and ran into the bathroom.

Liu Yifei didn't wash her hair today, but she took half an hour to wash it.

When she came out, Li Qiutang had fallen asleep, and Liu Yifei could even hear his breathing.

After a 10-hour car ride, you probably don't have the energy to think about that kind of thing.

Liu Yifei is now hesitating whether to go to bed or spend the night on the bench.

But seeing how soundly Li Qiutang was sleeping, most of her worries were dispelled. She quietly lifted the quilt, quietly got into bed, quietly covered herself with the quilt, and turned off the light.

She tried to lie close to the edge of the bed, with a forearm's length between her and Li Qiutang.

Li Qiutang sleeps very soundly, so nothing should happen.

The next morning, Liu Yifei woke up in Li Qiutang's arms.

Liu Yifei is now resting her head on one of Li Qiutang's arms. The arm passes through her neck and is placed under her chest. Liu Yifei is nestled in Li Qiutang's chest.

When Liu Yifei woke up, Li Qiutang was still asleep.

She was almost scared to death. How did she fall asleep in his arms? Also, there was something pressing against her under the quilt. Even though Liu Yifei was a virgin, she knew what that was.

So embarrassing.

Liu Yifei wanted to slowly leave his arms and get up without waking up Li Qiutang.

But how could Li Qiutang, who was pretending to be asleep, let her leave his arms?

She used her hand, which was resting on her head, to push Liu Yifei onto her body.

"what!"

The two men came face to face.

"Good morning." Li Qiutang wanted to peck the girl's lips gently, but the girl turned her head away and refused: "No, it's smelly."

"I don't mind your breath."

"I'm talking about you!" Liu Yifei said, "You're pretending to be asleep."

"If I don't pretend to sleep, how can I see you sleeping? Fairy sister, your sleeping posture is not very good." He patted her butt as he said this.

"Let me go, I want to get up." Because Liu Yifei was more aware of the thing pressing against her.

Li Qiutang helped Liu Yifei get up.

Liu Yifei secretly estimated that even if it was not as large-scale as the movie that Shu Chang showed her, it should still be of very high quality.

Shu Chang said that everything in the movies was fake, and few normal people were like that. Shu Chang had experience, and she had secretly taught Liu Yifei this knowledge.

The two of them washed up separately and went out for breakfast together.

Even though they didn't break the last layer of window paper last night, they did sleep in the same bed after all, and the two seemed to be closer.

At 9 o'clock, the two of them set out on a self-driving trip again. "This is not a self-driving tour at all!" Liu Yifei complained.

"How is this not a self-driving tour?" Li Qiutang said.

"I saw other couples on self-driving tours play while driving, but we just drove and didn't play at all!"

It seems reasonable.

Li Qiutang said, "More than a hundred people are waiting for us to start work in Yu City, sister. If you want to play, we can go out when I'm on vacation."

"Don't regret what you said."

"Liar is a puppy."

After getting her boyfriend's assurance, Liu Yifei started the project of talking to and feeding the driver from the co-pilot's seat.

The two talked about everything from daily life to industry gossip, as well as astronomy, geography, elephants, ants, and Crayon Shin-chan.

Liu Yifei shared with Li Qiutang her thoughts after reading the book after receiving the role of Lan Xin: "I kind of understand now. You are satirizing capitalism, and the prototype of the character Lan Xin should be Yang and He."

"Okay, it's not in vain to read so many books. I'm absorbed in them." Reading history books is definitely better than reading chicken soup and spiritual meditation.

It's okay to drink a sip of chicken soup occasionally to refresh yourself.

"You're amazing." Liu Yifei admired Li Qiutang a little. "After watching In Time, who would say you don't have the author's expression?"

As a pure academic, Li Qiutang made his debut with genre films and pursued audiovisual stimulation, which was regarded as not doing his job properly by many critics. Although Li Qiutang's camera language is relatively serious and advanced, such as the long shot at the beginning of "No One in My Eyes" and the black-and-white shot at the end that paid tribute to his predecessors, there are still many critics in the industry who say that Li Qiutang's films pursue simplicity of story and audiovisual stimulation, which is a relatively low-level film thinking.

"She doesn't have Quentin's life, but she has Quentin's disease." Many veteran movie fans commented on Li Qiutang in this way.

But Li Qiutang anticipated how she would be treated after In Time: "Many people will not like this movie."

Liu Yifei was puzzled and said: "I think it's very good. It has expression, story, and audio-visual stimulation."

Li Qiutang shook her head. "If only it were that simple. This movie has exposed too many people's scars. I'm sure I'll be criticized badly after it's released."

But he also said: "If they scold me, I will not shoot? Their scolding just proves that I am doing the right thing to shoot."

Liu Yifei doesn’t understand why her boyfriend is so pessimistic about the future.

Somehow, we got to talking about Liu Yifei's career plan. Liu Yifei is very clear that her ideal is to be a performing artist, and she hopes to achieve more in acting. This achievement does not mean that she has to be famous, but she hopes to play more different roles and explore acting.

Li Qiutang supports her ideal, but from the perspective of director and market, she said: "If you want to be an artist, wait until you are 40."

Liu Yifei was of course not convinced, and Li Qiutang explained for her: "It's good to have long-term ambitions, but the path ahead is also important. The reality, whether there are plays suitable for you in the external market or whether you have the ability to impact the performing arts in your 20s, determines that it is unlikely that you will become a performing artist now.

"You know what role I think you'd be best suited for?"

"what?"

"A top-notch commercial film vase that relies on star power and charm to win."

No actor with ideals would like to be told this. Seeing that Liu Yifei was about to get angry, Li Qiutang said, "Listen to me.

"Don't underestimate this title. Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci, are they good at acting? Have they won any prestigious acting awards? But they are the dream lovers of movie fans all over the world. Another one is Angelina Jolie, she has acting skills, but she is definitely not the best, but she is the most popular actress in the world. They often play vases and supporting roles. They rely on their personal star power and personal charm."

Then, Li Qiutang used domestic actors as examples: "The Hong Kong actresses, Qiu Shuzhen, Guan Zhilin, Zhang Min, what acting skills do they have? At most, they can win the Best Newcomer or Best Supporting Actress award, but they are the eternal goddesses in the hearts of the audience."

"It's not easy to play a vase."

Liu Yifei listened to it, and she knew in her heart that if the two were not in a relationship, she would never hear such words from anyone else.

"You are young now, your acting skills are immature, and you don't have enough experience. Just hone your skills slowly and play big vase roles or heroines that you can handle. When your acting skills mature and your experience is rich, there will naturally be roles suitable for you, pushing you to the throne of the best actress."

"If you only pursue success, you won't be able to perform well and will be scolded by the audience. Now you have "In the Mood for Love", but you still can't perform Man Yu's style."

"I don't have a director like Wang Jiawei." Liu Yifei said stubbornly.

"You have a boyfriend like Li Qiutang." Li Qiutang said shamelessly.

Liu Yifei laughed and scolded: "Why are you so annoying? You always flatter yourself." Then she handed her water cup to Li Qiutang.

"Don't feed me water. What will I do when I go to the toilet later?" But Li Qiutang still took a big sip.
