Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 203 New Year
Not to mention the entire Northeast, just Fengtian alone has produced many celebrities.

Many of them, whether they knew each other or not, would come to visit Li Qiutang's home.

They didn't sit for long. They would put down their things, say hello and leave. Those who were a little more familiar would sit down and have a cup of tea, and then leave. Even if the Li family invited them to eat, they would not eat.

On the third day of junior high school, Qin Lan came to Li Qiutang's house. After all, Qin Lan was different from other fellow villagers. The two of them knew each other the earliest. Li Qiutang's famous work also relied on her full assistance. Li Qiutang still had to be more open to her.

The parents also knew that this girl had helped their son so selflessly when he had nothing, so no matter what Qin Lan said today, the Li family of three would keep Qin Lan at home for dinner.

Qin Lan had no choice but to agree.

Li Qiutang said: "I went to Teacher Fan Wei's place yesterday. He is spending the New Year in Fengtian this year."

Qin Lan said: "Teacher Fan Wei hasn't spent the New Year in Fengtian for several years."

Li Qiutang laughed and said, "He told me that he wanted to come back because he was old. As soon as I heard that, I knew he was talking nonsense."

Qin Lan and Father Li, who was sitting on the side, also laughed. Father Li asked, "How old is Fan Wei?"

Qin Lan said, "He's about 60. I remember that Teacher Fan was quite old."

Li Qiutang said: "Not 60. Teacher Fan just looks old. From my impression, he seems to be born in the 60s, so he is at most 50 years old."

As they were talking, someone knocked on the door and a voice came from outside: "Is Director Qiu Tang home?"

Li Qiutang went to open the door and the person who came was a manager of Beilian Film Company, which was formerly the Liao Province Film Studio.

"Manager Wang, come on, come on, sit down at home."

Li's parents also stood at the door and asked him to come in, but Manager Wang did not come in. He said a few words to Li Qiutang, put down a bottle of wine and left.

This is what's happening these days.

"It's embarrassing for us."

Qin Lan said: "This shows that Qiu Tang has a lot of face. Now he has become a big director, so many people come to him."

Li Qiutang said: "I don't want them to come to me and not let me spend the New Year in peace."

If you don't interact with each other normally, what effect will it have if you give each other gifts or say a few words during the New Year?

As we were talking, it was time for dinner.

It was a common meal at home, and Qin Lan was easy to deal with.

Qin Lan was not so ignorant as to mention Lu Chuan at this time. She knew that the two of them looked down on each other. Li Qiutang looked down on Lu Chuan for being half-baked and pretentious, while Lu Chuan looked down on Li Qiutang's movies for being thoughtless and without depth.

On one side was her boyfriend, and on the other was her fellow villager. When the two were arguing online, Qin Lan was caught in the middle and simply did nothing.

I'm not going to act as a middleman or talk about relationships. There are many people in the circle who look down on each other. Zhou Xun doesn't get along with Li Bingbing and Zhao Yanzi, so what.

"Are you used to eating this?" Mother Li asked Qin Lan.

"It's delicious. You're such a great cook."

The four of them talked about it at the dinner table. Mother Li meant that when traveling, they were both friends and fellow villagers, so they should interact more often. Not to mention that they were in the same industry, so they should help more: "If there are any plays, you should introduce them to them."

"She has no shortage of roles to play," said Li Qiutang.

Qin Lan smiled and said, "If you say there is a shortage, it is quite a bit."

"Look, what I said." said Mother Li.

Li Qiutang said: "Okay, I will definitely find you if there is a play." He was willing to give Qin Lan a role.

"Hey, Xiao Qin, have you found a partner?" Li's mother asked. "Yes," Qin Lan said.

Li Qiutang interrupted and said, "She's doing fine, don't ask too much. Her boyfriend is also a well-known talent in the circle." The last sentence sounded awkward.

"That's good, that's good." Mother Li was mainly worried about her son's bad luck in love.

After dinner, Li Qiutang sent Qin Lan back home. Qin Lan took what he had just said at the dinner table seriously and said with a smile, "You said so. You want to find me to film a movie."

"I said," Li Qiutang said with a smile, "the company is going to produce a play after the new year, and the leading role was taken away by the investor long ago. Do you mind playing a cameo?"

"It's okay to make a cameo appearance, do you want to shoot it?"

"I don't have the time. I have to focus on the post-production of In Time."

"Who is the investor? How can he take the leading role away from you?" Qin Lan knew how much control Li Qiutang had over the crew. "Who will play the leading role?"

"Liu Yifei." Li Qiutang said, "The investor specifically wanted her to play the role, no one else would work.

"Don't look at me like that." Qin Lan's eyes were already a little strange, as if she knew something. "I discussed the cooperation at the annual meeting. The boss's daughter is a fan of Liu Yifei, and they paid for her to chase stars. Then I saw that Liu Yifei was suitable, and she also has time next year, so let's shoot it."

Qin Lan temporarily believes that Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei are innocent.

It’s the eighth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye, and work will begin after the Autumn Film Year!
Liu Yifei is here too!

"You're still coming to work." Even Cao Ping was surprised. He knew he was going to stay at Autumn Pictures.

"I've finally mastered my job, but I haven't been hired as a full-time employee yet." Liu Yifei really wants to experience the life of an ordinary office worker. She took the subway to work today.

After all the employees arrived, Cao Ping gave everyone a red envelope of 200 yuan each, and gave a speech on the first day of the new year.

"Boss Cao, why didn't Director Li come?"

Liu Yifei laughed first, and Cao Ping then said, "Director Li is still in Fengtian serving as best man and driving the wedding car. He will be back in a few days."

This made the employees laugh.

This is no joke, Li Qiutang is really serving as a best man and driving the wedding car.

During the holidays, Li Qiutang attended three wedding banquets, otherwise he would not have driven back as they needed his money.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, one of his high school classmates got married. He served as the best man and also donated his own car.

This caused the mother to say, "You are busier than me to have three drinks during the New Year."

Being a best man for a classmate, it is inevitable to be used for face. This is normal. They are friends since childhood, and Li Qiutang also actively cooperates.

"Let me introduce to you my best man, Li Qiutang. He is now a director at Yanjing. He is a great director and a talented person. You should all know him if you have watched movies. He has worked with Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, and he just finished filming a movie with the fairy sister Liu Yifei.

"If I wasn't getting married today, would you be able to see him?"

People from Northeast China are very concerned about their reputation and love to brag.

Li Qiutang cooperated in bragging, but actually it wasn't really bragging, she was just telling two interesting stories from the entertainment industry to satisfy other people's curiosity.

For example, Liu Yifei is a hundred times prettier in person than in photos. “She’s actually not photogenic.”

For example, there are indeed female celebrities who knock on doors in the middle of the night, "and even male celebrities who knock on doors."

In the entertainment industry, only those with money are powerful, and only those with resources are powerful. In the eyes of movie company bosses, those with money but no resources are just fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. "Even if you have 1 million, they will find a way to spend all your money without letting you find out."

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Qiutang left Fengtian and went to Shanxi Province. He signed several contracts that he had negotiated before the New Year and returned to Yanjing on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month with some money.
