Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 267 You Are So Domineering

Liu Yifei's plan was perfect. She first flew to the clouds, then contacted Li Qiutang's assistant, asked him to take her to the crew, sneaked into Li Qiutang's room, and waited for Li Qiutang to return to the room after the show. She would find the right time to give him a surprise, even a scare would do.

But despite all her calculations, she had overlooked one thing - the crew's change of location.

After Liu Yifei landed in Yunzhong, she called assistant Li Qiutang and was told that the crew of "Pifu" had finished filming in Yunzhong and moved to Yangcun Film and Television City in Tianjin two days ago.

Liu Yifei went to Tianjin again. That night, in the hotel room, Liu Yifei was ridiculed by Li Qiutang.

"You idiot, you should inquire in advance before creating a surprise." Isn't this the misalignment of granularity?
"You're still laughing! I'm doing this for you." Liu Yifei felt that her behavior was embarrassing.

It was indeed for Li Qiutang, but it was also really funny.

Because they came to see Li Qiutang in secret, they did not alert the crew. Even Huang Xiaoming did not know that Liu Yifei was in the crew hotel at that moment.

As the saying goes, a short absence makes a new marriage better. The two hadn't seen each other for two months and they rolled into bed without saying a few words.

Li Qiutang still has to start work tomorrow. If she achieves a great breakthrough today, she will feel bad about not being able to be with Liu Yifei tomorrow.

Let’s use the old method.

After 40 minutes, Liu Yifei lay in her boyfriend's arms and asked him, "How long are you going to shoot?"

"About half a month."

Liu Yifei calculated the time and said, "Then when you finish filming and return to Yanjing, I'll ask Shu Chang to come out and talk with us. She's going to start a new play next month."

"Okay, I'll try my best to persuade her, as long as she listens. What drama does she want to start?"

"In the second part of 'Palace', she played the second female lead."

Li Qiutang listened and said softly, "Yu Zheng's play is also good."

From a market perspective, Si Yatou is really good at making dramas. It would be a good thing if Shu Chang could cooperate with Si Yatou for a long time.

Li Qiutang would not tell Shu Chang what she said next: "If you ask me, Shu Chang's problem is not her weight. Her management team is too incompetent. Is her manager still her relative?"

"Yeah. I haven't heard her say she changed it. There's nothing she can do. Xiao Shu grew up in that family. How can she let go of it?"

That’s why emotional debt is the hardest to repay.

Li Qiutang said, "You have to repay a favor, but you can't say I ate a meal at your house, so I have to repay you for my whole life. That's a bit too much."

But Shu Chang's family affairs were not something that two outsiders, Liu Yifei and Li Qiutang, could interfere in.

"Her cousin made at least 7 or 8 million from Shu Chang, if not 10 million. According to the money, Shu Chang has paid it back."

But as I said before, emotional debts are the hardest to calculate and the hardest to repay.

But now we are not discussing Shu Chang’s agency contract, but to persuade her not to have plastic surgery.

"She is pretty, has good acting skills, and became famous early. If she is open to taking on roles, she will definitely have no problem finding work."

Just as Liu Yifei was about to respond, Li Qiutang said, "It's still that guy who teases me."

The "Three Drops" incident had a huge impact. Also, because they didn't want to give a share to their agents and wanted to make more money themselves, they contacted the film producers privately without going through their agents, which also damaged the industry's reputation.

But these things happened five or six years ago, and the negative impact should have been eliminated.

In April this year, Yang Mi openly stated on Weibo that she was filming 4 dramas at the same time to create the character of a hard-working woman.

"And you still don't apply to a professional college." Li Qiutang added.

Of course, there are many people outside the academy who have achieved success in the entertainment industry, but for most people who want to enter the industry, it is recommended to apply to the three major academies. There was one sentence that Liu Yifei was embarrassed to say, but for the sake of her good sister, she decided to say it.

"Dear, if the company needs any suitable plays, please consider Xiao Shu. She always says she has no roles to play."

Apart from asking him to go slower and gentler, Liu Yifei rarely asked him for anything.

"I thought that was something else. If she wants to recognize me as her brother-in-law, I will definitely take care of her." This was not a big problem in Li Qiutang's view. If there were resources, they would definitely stick to their own people, and Shu Chang was obviously one of them.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "She will definitely recognize you." Then she wanted to kiss Li Qiutang to show her gratitude.

But Li Qiutang refused: "Go brush your teeth."

"Humph!"

Liu Yifei obediently went to brush her teeth. Just as she turned on the water, Li Qiutang came in and also brushed her teeth.

Then the two of them tossed around again. Liu Yifei went to take a shower and blamed Li Qiutang for getting something on her: "Why are you so annoying!"

"Let's take a bath together." The two of them had never taken a bath together.

Liu Yifei refused and closed the bathroom door.

Li Qiutang also took a shower later, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms until dawn.

The next day, Li Qiutang went to the crew to start work. Liu Yifei slept until the afternoon and went out shopping in disguise. No one noticed her because no one could have imagined that Liu Yifei would appear in a film crew that was about to collapse.

Just like no one could have imagined that the Hong Kong horror film "Far Cry" starring Yang Mi would sell so well.

The film cost only 400 million yuan, but the pre-sale tickets on the premiere day were sold out in one hour, setting a record of 2400 million yuan for a domestic horror film in its first weekend.

It fought off strong competitors of the same period such as "Wu Xia" and "Butterfly on the Shoulder", and earned more than 5000 million yuan in box office in more than a week after its release.

The industry actually doesn’t understand why this film sold for so much money.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the bees.

After the huge success of "Palace", Yang Mi became famous all over the country. "Far Cry" is Yang Mi's first big screen work after "Palace". The craziness of her fans is so amazing that even theater managers are amazed.

"At around 200am, the screening room was packed with more than people, all students in school uniforms, talking about Yang Mi all the time."

"During a self-organized ticket-sharing activity on Weibo, a 'bee' said that he watched Far Cry six times in three days just to support his idol."

Some cinema managers are looking forward to "The Great Warrior" which will be released next month, because the lead actor of "The Great Warrior" Han Gen is also an idol with a huge number of fans, and the cinema believes that his fans will also boost the box office of "The Great Warrior".

"But why don't my fans buy my tickets?" Liu Yifei asked her boyfriend.

"Why don't you buy your ticket?" Li Qiutang felt that Liu Yifei was a bit pretentious. "In such a quiet April schedule, for a low-budget romance like The Beauty Inside, your fans raised your fans to over 4 million in the first week. What else do you want?"

"If it's released during the summer, will there be more?"

"You're a little greedy." Li Qiutang said with a smile, "But we can try to put "Introduction to Architecture" in the summer schedule next year."

"That requires Boss Li's approval."

"I don't need to interfere with the release date of a movie with a budget of 10 million yuan. You can discuss it with the crew and the company will cooperate with you."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "There's no need to interfere. You're so overbearing."
