Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 213 Get him!
When the earthquake occurred in Qing Province, Li Qiutang was attending an industry event in Ludao, and Liu Yifei had already returned to Yanjing.

Three days later, Autumn Pictures and Li Qiutang personally donated 100 million yuan each to the Children's Fund for earthquake relief, and Liu Yifei also donated 50 yuan.

There is something a little unusual about this year's donations. After making their donations, many celebrities chose to post their donation receipts online to prove that they had indeed donated the money.

Even Zhang Yimou had to post the invoice to prove his donation after donating money on behalf of the crew of "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Fan Bingbing's studio even filmed the entire process of delivering their supplies into the disaster area, and uploaded the video to the Internet for netizens to monitor.

It was all caused by Zhang Ziyi’s donation fraud at the beginning of the year.

Liu Yifei felt that this kind of self-validation was not a good thing and she was unwilling to do it.

But Li Qiutang didn't think it was a big deal: "Will our love for the disaster area be discounted if we show our donation receipts? Will the children in the disaster area not receive our money?"

"But this is awkward. I don't donate money or things for show. I have to show them the receipts to prove that I really donated."

"That can't be helped. We are public figures and everyone is watching us."

Although Liu Yifei was reluctant to do so, the official Weibo account of the movie "In Time" still posted the donation invoices of Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei online.

It is normal for the director and the heroine to donate money together, and it does not arouse suspicion.

On the evening of the 25th, the two arrived in Shanghai one after another to attend today's Bazaar Charity Gala.

Li Qiutang didn't want to come at first, but when he thought that participating with Liu Yifei would also be considered as early publicity for "In Time", he agreed to the organizer's request. Liu Yifei also wanted him to accompany her.

Under the banner of the crew, he openly held hands with Liu Yifei on the red carpet. It felt pretty good.

"Yifei, look here!"

"Yifei, take a look here."

"Yifei, on the right."

"Director Li, take a look to the left."

The red carpet reporters shouted the two people's names and the flash lights flashed.

Li Qiutang was not used to the atmosphere of flash lights and felt a little uneasy on the red carpet. On the contrary, Liu Yifei tried her best to meet the needs of reporters with various poses and angles.

"I rubbed you."

After taking photos on the red carpet, the two walked into the backstage. Liu Yifei asked him, "How do you like this dress?"

Liu Yifei customized three suits for Li Qiutang, and this was the first time he wore them.

"Fortunately, I have never worn such expensive clothes in my life. These clothes are more valuable than me."

Maybe because of his ordinary background, after Li Qiutang made money, he only spent money on transportation and accommodation. That Land Rover cost him 175 million yuan that year, and he lived in a long private room in a five-star hotel apartment. In other aspects of his consumption, Li Qiutang did not act like a rich man at all.

He doesn't even look at luxury goods. On the contrary, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli are willing to spend money on luxury goods.

Of course, Li Qiutang doesn't buy luxury goods, but he started a business and opened a company, which costs more money than any luxury goods.

Liu Yifei said, "It's not your money, so why do you feel bad about it?" This was because there were not many people at their table, so Liu Yifei dared to say this, "Tell me what you earn so much money for, but you don't even buy yourself a nice set of clothes."

"I'm saving up to get married and find a wife." Li Qiutang's words killed Liu Yifei.

"You...you, tsk." Liu Yifei really couldn't do anything about him.

He also said, "I will buy your clothes from now on."

I don't know where she saw this, but she thinks it makes sense that a girlfriend should be responsible for her boyfriend's clothes.

Liu Yifei even leaned close to Li Qiutang's ear and whispered, "I'll even pack your underwear and socks for you."

Li Qiutang was about to speak when someone called him, "Director Qiutang, you're here too."

Li Qiutang stood up and said with a smile: "Bingbing, you come to this charity party every year."

Fan Bingbing said, "Well, let's do our part." He looked at Liu Yifei, "Yifei looks so beautiful today."

She didn't think much about the two of them coming together. It was a normal thing for the director to take the heroine everywhere to promote the new film.

Coincidentally, Fan Bingbing was also sitting at this table, right next to Li Qiutang.

Fan Bingbing came today not only for charity, but also for the release of her new film "East Wind Rain", and she and director Liu Yunlong came together to promote the film.

The three of them had just sat down and hadn't talked for a few words when someone came to Li Qiutang and asked if he could borrow her hand to talk. He also said to Liu Yifei, "I borrowed your director."

Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing had a good chat, not about work, but about girly topics like beauty and weight loss.

Fan Bingbing recommended his commonly used cosmetics and skin care products to Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei introduced some precautions about sports and fitness to Fan Bingbing.

The two chatted happily, and Fan Bingbing even said that he would invite Liu Yifei to visit her hometown in Qingdao after this busy period: "Qingdao is more fun than Yanjing. Yanjing is not interesting."

"Yifei, what are you busy with recently? What drama are you filming?"

"We want to make a romance film, what about you?"

Fan Bingbing smiled and said, "After this party I have to go to Shanxi Province to film a play directed by Kai Ge. Time is too tight." It can't be said that he didn't show off, but he didn't have any bad intentions either.

"It's great to be able to act in a play directed by Kai Ge." Liu Yifei agreed.

"It's really enviable that you can act in "In Time", and work with so many great actors." If he could choose, Fan Bingbing would choose "In Time" without hesitation.

Liu Yifei also said: "What's good about that? There are so many movie stars and seniors. My confidence in acting collapsed in the first half month after joining the crew. I cried every day, blaming myself for being too stupid, not being able to keep up with them, and delaying the crew's progress."

Fan Bingbing had filmed a scene with Li Qiutang before, and she asked Liu Yifei: "Did the director scold you?"

"Scold, of course I should scold him, he didn't even give me face when my mom came to visit the set."

"I'll help you talk to him later." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

The two were chatting happily until Liu Yifei's good friend Jiang Yiyan came to see her.

Of course, best friends were very happy to meet each other. Liu Yifei left Fan Bingbing and talked to Jiang Yiyan aside.

Liu Yifei and Jiang Yiyan talked about their new film and wanted Jiang Yiyan to visit the set. These are the only people Liu Yifei has a say in in the circle.

"Okay, I'll definitely come to see you then. What's the name of your new play?"

Liu Yifei did not hide it from her: "It's called The Beauty Inside, and it's directed by Xue Xiaolu."

"The teacher Xue Xiaolu from our school?"

"Yes, she also revised the script." Liu Yifei said, "How have you been lately?"

Jiang Yiyan is very popular in Orange Sky. She has received a lot of resources in the past two years. Her performance in "Nanjing! Nanjing!" is outstanding.

Jiang Yiyan's career is going smoothly now. Although she lacks big directors and big productions, she still has many dramas to shoot throughout the year and is considered a young actress with a strong reputation.

"You are still the best," Jiang Yiyan still envied Liu Yifei for being able to get a blockbuster like "In Time". "I also went to audition, but our great director Li didn't want me and said we were just classmates." Jiang Yiyan was originally an actor strongly recommended by Orange Sky and entered the casting group of "In Time", but was eliminated by Li Qiutang himself.

Jiang Yiyan knew that Liu Yifei and Li Qiutang came together today, and she also knew that they were here to promote their new film, but she joked, "You are so close to him, why don't you tell him what good films you have, just keep up with your classmates."

"What are you talking about? Who is close to him?" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Oh, Fairy Sister is so charming, it should be easy to deal with her." Jiang Yiyan just teased Liu Yifei, completely unaware that her joke was actually true.
