Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 227 Love affair exposed?

Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei's birthdays are only one day apart, but unfortunately, they cannot celebrate their birthdays together this year.

Li Qiutang was going on a business trip, and Liu Yifei had nothing to do that day, so she took her agent, assistant, and mother out for dinner.

Although it was a bit regrettable that she didn't have a sweet date with her boyfriend, Liu Yifei is not a pretentious person and is still very happy with her mother.

Liu Xiaoli also gave her a beautiful Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, which Liu Yifei liked very much.

Li Qiutang also called Liu Yifei that day and said that he would make up a date and give her a gift after he returned to Yanjing.

Liu Yifei is not an ignorant person. Li Qiutang missed her birthday, and she also missed Li Qiutang's birthday.

She also told Li Qiutang: "You should also go eat something delicious tomorrow. It's okay to eat casually at other times, but you should eat something good on your birthday.

"When you come back, I have a gift for you too."

At midnight that evening, Liu Yifei and her group came out of a restaurant. The birthday boy Liu was very happy. He drank some wine and chatted and laughed with his agent's assistant.

Liu Yifei started at 2pm and the headlines were posted at 10am.

"Liu Yifei meets a mysterious man at night! Their relationship exposed!"

"Liu Yifei holds hands with a mysterious man on her birthday, so sweet and loving!"

"Yesterday was Liu Yifei's 23rd birthday. Some netizens took photos of Liu Yifei dining at a high-end Korean restaurant late at night. At midnight, Liu Yifei walked out of the restaurant with a mysterious man. From the photos, we can see that the man is of medium height. Liu Yifei held hands with him and had a cordial conversation."

In the photo in the report, Liu Yifei and the man next to her were indeed walking very close, and their hands seemed to be touching, but it was late at night and the photo was not clear, so it can be said that they were holding hands or not. (Fans should know which photo it is)
Liu Yifei never responds to this kind of thing, she just feels bored.

But don't forget that Liu Yifei's agency, Red Star House, has changed hands and is no longer the makeshift team it used to be. Although the reorganization of Red Star House is progressing slowly, it still has no problem handling such small matters.

But then again, an ambiguous photo isn't worth the agency issuing a statement, which is a bit of an overreaction.

It is not convenient for Red Star House to take action, but Red Star House can instruct some fans to come forward.

Red Star House first understood the general situation last night, and after knowing that such reports were pure nonsense, it authorized the big fan to explain the situation.

There is no need to use the Internet army to attack and slander others. It is fine for them to just serve as a mouthpiece for artists and management companies.

Of course, cleaning the floor is another matter.

Soon, fans posted the original pictures provided by Red Star House on important platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, and explained the situation.

"This is the original picture. Last night was Yifei's birthday. She took her mother, agent, assistant and others out for dinner. Liu Xiaoli was next to Yifei. The entertainment reporter cropped the picture randomly for the purpose of reporting."

"I found some Reuters photos. This man is the new agent assigned to Liu Yifei by Red Star House. He has only been in the industry for a few years and joined Yifei's team this year. His Weibo name is XXX. He often posts about his interactions with Yifei. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

"How did they tell that they were holding hands? I couldn't tell anyway."

This is the first wave. As for the second wave, Liu Yifei’s new manager was a nobody on Weibo. After this incident, he posted a Weibo the next day:
"I'm sorry to let you know me in this way, hahaha. Last night was Yifei's birthday. Several of us staff members had dinner with Aunt Xiaoli and Yifei. Everyone was very happy and drank some wine together. At that time, I was walking next to Yifei. On the other side of Yifei was Aunt Liu Xiaoli, and behind her was the assistant. I have just entered the industry, and it is my honor to join Yifei's team this year. The recent report is actually a misunderstanding. Please don't spread rumors. Thank you."

The microblog was not long, but it had a great effect. Liu Yifei didn't even know what was happening online. She was busy preparing for the next two days of her birthday.

She even posted a selfie with her parrot on Weibo on the evening of the 26th, captioning: "Oh my, I love you so much."

On the 28th, Liu Yifei went north to Xidu again to participate in this year's Changchun Film Festival.

She didn't have a film nominated, but she was an invited guest and would go on stage to present the award.

The first public media meeting before the release of "In Time" will also be held after the film festival.

The director, male and female protagonists, director of photography and executive producer Huang Jianxin of the "In Time" crew will all come to the Changchun Film Festival to meet with the media.

"The next crew to walk onto the red carpet is our In Time crew. We see the film's director Li Qiutang, and the leading actors and actresses Liu Ye and Liu Yifei. Welcome to the Changchun Film Festival. In Time is..."

There will be no red carpet interview session today.

Liu Yifei openly held Li Qiutang's hand and waved to the audience and media on the red carpet.

This year's Changchun Film Festival won four double-yolk eggs in the categories of Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Cinematography and Best Newcomer. It can be said that awards are given to everyone who comes.

Li Qiutang watched from the meeting and shook her head, saying to Huang Jianxin, "This is ridiculous."

Huang Jianxin also despises this kind of behavior, but there is no way around it. When awarding prizes in China, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of pork-picking.

The next morning, the crew of "In Time" held a media meeting at a hotel. Dozens of media outlets gathered at the scene. Together with invited guests, there were more than sixty people at the meeting, and the scene was quite good.

Li Qiutang also learned that the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" would also hold a press conference in this hotel in the afternoon.

The main creators came on stage and after a brief self-introduction, the male and female protagonists stayed on the stage to be questioned by the host.

The host's first question was: "I heard that the relationship between your two characters in In Time is very different. Can you tell us what the difference is?"

Liu Yifei and Liu Ye looked at each other, and were both wondering what the relationship between Yang Peng and Lan Xin was.

Liu Ye gestured for Liu Yifei to answer. She scratched her head and said, "It's hard to say what the relationship between me and Brother Ye is in the movie. Generally speaking, we are a couple, but our interactions are very different from those of a couple. To be precise, it should be a partnership, but we have some feelings for each other, so it can be considered ambiguous." She looked at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye agrees with Liu Yifei's statement: "There is a little ambiguity, but it is more of a partnership, or even a comrade-in-arms relationship fighting side by side."

The host should know that Liu Yifei had been in a low ebb before, so he specifically asked her: "When the crew asked you to play in "In Time", how did you feel? What did your mother think? What did your friends around you think?"

Liu Yifei said, "I'm very happy. My mother and friends around me are also happy for me. Because we had three rounds of auditions for In Time, not including the physical fitness test, it really took a lot of time and energy. After it was finally confirmed that it was me, I felt that all this time and energy was finally rewarded, and I'm very happy."

After the two actors finished sharing, the host invited the director to come up and asked him at the beginning: "Can our "In Time" meet you during the Lunar New Year holiday?"

Li Qiutang still didn't dare to promise: "Let's try."
