Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 188 The whole body is soft, but the mouth is hard
Liu Yifei considers herself neither a jealous woman nor a petty woman.

She knew that when people were out socializing, they could not avoid acting.

Li Qiutang said that he and Zhang Yuqi simply took a photo together, and she believed that this kind of thing was normal no matter where it happened.

But she just couldn't help but think about it.

Of course her statement that Zhang Yuqi's breasts were pressed against Li Qiutang's face was an exaggeration. In fact, in the photo taken last night, apart from a fan holding the idol's hand, there was no sign of intimacy between the two.

But she just couldn't help but think about it.

"This is probably the taste of love, sweet and sometimes sour." Liu Yifei thought.

Faced with this sour feeling, Liu Yifei sometimes feels a little bit inferior.

Her fame at a young age and her beautiful appearance - she knew she was good-looking - made it easy for her to be liked by others, especially the opposite sex. This situation sometimes made her not care much about the affection expressed by the opposite sex.

When you can easily gain the love of others, you probably won't cherish this love.

But for some reason, she cared a lot about Li Qiutang's love for her, and was even a little worried about losing Li Qiutang's love.

Liu Yifei is not very old, but she has seen a lot of breakups and reunions in this circle.

Some couples have no feelings for each other and just play around separately, some have feelings for each other but both like to play around, and there are a lot of couples who live together but are physically together but spiritually apart.

There are few sincere people in this circle, and even fewer who are loyal to their lovers.

Liu Yifei is at the age where she yearns for romantic love, and she doesn't want her love to become something she hates.

On the other hand, she believed in her boyfriend.

But in the following days, she would call Li Qiutang every night to ask him what he was doing. If Li Qiutang was working, he would simply tell her who he was with and what he was doing. If he was not working, he would chat with her on the phone for a long time.

Li Qiutang understood Liu Yifei's behavior very well and didn't find her annoying. They were in the passionate love period, so how could she find the fairy sister annoying?

That day, a department manager from Autumn Pictures came to report to Li Qiutang:
"Manager Wang of China Film Group wants us to book a screening of '刺陵'."

"Why did he sponsor "刺陵"? Is he worried about the box office?"

"Who knows? He called me a few times and said, 'Please cover the show. It doesn't cost much. I had no choice but to agree."

China Film Group is the producer and distributor of "刺陵", so it is reasonable for Manager Wang to ask Autumn Films to book out the entire theater for support.

This kind of assignment of tasks is particularly common in the film and television industry.

"If it's covered, just go and see it. It's a company benefit." There's nothing you can do about it. It's a given and you can only accept it.

"He also wants you to watch it, saying that he wants to talk about something after the movie."

"Why can't we talk about anything alone? Why do you insist on asking me to go to the movies?" But there was no other way. The little ghost was pestering her, so Li Qiutang had to go and accompany him.

Autumn Pictures booked a screening of "刺陵" at a theater near the company, and I watched it with Manager Wang.

Manager Wang talked a lot about the luxurious cast of this movie, including Jay Chou and Lin Chi-ling, two of the most popular stars, plus Chen Daoming. It is also released during the Lunar New Year holiday, so it is sure to be a big hit.

"To be honest, this is also my first time watching a movie."

About 50 minutes into the film, % of the employees of Autumn Pictures left the theater.

The employees didn't know that this was an assignment from China Film Corporation. They thought it was a company-year-end welfare activity to watch a movie, and if it wasn't good, they could just leave.

Manager Wang was a fairly honest man, and seeing that the situation was getting awkward, he invited Li Qiutang to go to the bathroom with him, saying that they should take a break.

Manager Wang was smoking in the restroom and apologized to Li Qiutang with a smile: "I'm sorry, this is my first time watching it too, I didn't expect it to be so bad, and it's causing trouble for your company. So, I'll pay for half of the cost of booking the theater as an apology, and buy some drinks and snacks for everyone."

Li Qiutang felt that this was unnecessary: "Every failure makes you wiser. Who hasn't seen a few bad movies?" The boss had left, and the employees didn't want to watch it anymore. In the end, only three people in the entire theater insisted on watching the entire movie.

A financial officer said that the money had been spent and it would be a waste if she didn't finish reading it.

The other two are Jay Chou fans and they said it was good after watching it.

Li Qiutang told Liu Yifei about this as a joke that night. Liu Yifei laughed and said that Li Qiutang deserved it: "Manager Wang is not a bad person."

"If there's anything good about this film that's worth praising, he won't apologize to me."

"Is it really that bad?"

"I can only say it's too much to watch. Jay Chou and Lin Zhiling have no acting skills at all. They are complete amateurs. This movie is just to make fans spend money."

Liu Yifei said: "My assistant said she wanted to watch "Three Shots Surprise", she likes Xiao Shenyang."

"Good luck to you." Li Qiutang did not try to persuade Liu Yifei, but waited to see what would happen.

"It's weird," Liu Yifei said. "How bad can a Zhang Yimou movie be? It's also a comedy version of 'Blood Labyrinth'. I really want to see how he will change it."

The next night, Liu Yifei shared with Li Qiutang the experience of watching "Three Shots" with her assistant: "It's really that bad." She felt guilty.

There are a few funny jokes, but the story as a whole doesn't make it into a movie. Even a professional filmmaker might not be able to tell that this was adapted from "Blood Simple".

Powder sex adaptation.

Li Qiutang told Liu Yifei that he and Cao Ping had just reached an agreement on a bank loan of 3000 million yuan for next year.

The money will mainly be used for the company's project development next year, such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and the adaptation of "Temptation of Wife" in cooperation with Mango TV. More than half of the script of this drama has been completed.

In fact, Liu Yifei was not interested in and did not understand most of the things about company operations, but she still liked to listen to Li Qiutang talk to her like this.

However, Liu Yifei understood that her boyfriend was too tired, and suggested on the phone that he find another CEO to manage the company for him. Cao Ping is good at making dramas, but she herself is not good at management.

"You just act as the chairman and be in charge of the overall command."

But Li Qiutang said that he is not considering looking for a CEO for the time being: "Although the chairman's position is higher than the CEO, his power is not necessarily greater than that of the CEO. Although I am the founder of the company, if I encounter a strong CEO and he wants to compete with me for power, I will have to work hard."

The chairman of the board of directors is the shareholder representative and the most visible leader of the company.

But the CEO is the one responsible for the company's overall business, and stories of power struggles between CEOs and chairman are not uncommon.

Even if the chairman is a major shareholder, he cannot do whatever he wants.

The CEO is not a dog who can be summoned and dismissed at will, and cannot be fired easily, otherwise it will place a heavy burden on the company's operations.

Therefore, the founders of many companies shoulder both the duties of chairman and CEO.

"It will only be tiring in the first few years of starting a business. When the time is right, I will find a CEO I can trust. Then I will no longer be involved in the company's affairs and will focus on making films and accompanying you." Li Qiutang has a strong desire for control on the set, but he does not love power in his life or in the workplace.

"Who wants you to accompany me? I'm not a three-year-old child." Liu Yifei said.

"I don't know who said a few days ago that she missed me and wanted me to go with her..."

"I didn't say that, and I don't know who said it." Liu Yifei denied it.

"You are soft everywhere except your mouth."

"Pooh."
