The next day, in the early morning, after the couple got up, they went to the consulate with Zeng Ni and Lu Tao to apply for visas.
Similar to applying for a visa to Japan and South Korea, applying for a visa to travel to Southeast Asia in China usually takes no more than three days to review.
During peak travel periods such as non-holidays, you can often successfully apply for a visa within one day.
In this era, not many people go abroad. If the motherland's economy continues to boom for a few more years, once the number of people traveling abroad increases significantly, I'm afraid it will be necessary to make long-term reservations in advance to go abroad.
The couple's visa application was quite smooth this time. The rest of the team members are all the original members of the brilliant era who followed the couple in Japan and South Korea. All the team members except Li Hu are here.
Huo Wenxi is on the other side of Southeast Asia, so Li Hed doesn't need to go with him this time.
Chu Xuan originally planned to fly to Macau that day once the visa was processed.
Chen Musheng, Zou Zhaolong, An Zhijie and Liu Yi have already been attending the film festival in Macau for several days, and he is eager to go there early to meet and chat with these companions who are also teachers and friends.
However, as the director and producer of "My Star", I am returning to China after being abroad for a month. It seems a bit unreasonable not to go to Century Culture to investigate the specific situation of "My Star".
So, the couple decided to stay in Beijing for another day and invite the crew to have a meal with them to express their gratitude.
The staff of the production team have been taking good care of this drama in the past few months. Now that we have some free time, it is just right to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our colleagues.
It happened that when I finished applying for the visa, it was already approaching lunch time.
Invited by Liu Yifei's phone call, Century Culture's chairman Li He, "Star You" post-production manager and chief photographer Long Fei and his team, deputy director Lu Chuan, and performance director Huang Lei all accepted the invitation and came to Shangri-La.
Let’s have dinner together in a private room of the hotel restaurant.
"Thank you, teachers." Liu Yifei stood up and made a toast, with a smile on her face full of gratitude.
"Teacher Li, Da Fei, Lao Lu, Brother Lei, and brothers and sisters, thank you for taking care of "Star You" over the past few months." Chu Xuan expressed his gratitude and then drank with everyone present.
Next glass of wine.
Needless to say, Li He was a senior producer who worked with Kong Sheng in the early days. In the past few months, Lu Chuan and Huang Lei have visited the company from time to time to check on the post-production process and provide guidance. In the editing concepts and visual effects art drawn up by the couple,
Under the framework of the concept, the filming progress of "Star You" will be so smooth.
After Li He sat down and ate the food, he said: "The promotion has already started, but "The Sky" is still in theaters, which will inevitably affect its popularity. The promotion plan has not yet been fully launched. We will wait until "The Sky" is released on December 1.
After that, we and Mango Channel will start to focus on promoting "Star You"."
There is a husband and wife in "The Sky", and there is also a husband and wife in "Star You".
And "Sky Curtain" is still being released, and the company has been following up on the promotion.
If the company promotes "Star You" at the same time, then there will be a conflict in publicity, and it will be self-defeating, which is not appropriate.
Originally, it was expected to promote "Star You" in November, but the company did not expect that the release of "Sky Curtain" would be postponed. This disrupted the company's promotion plan for "Star You" and could only reduce the overall promotion of "Star You".
The publicity plan will be carried out in December.
Chu Xuan nodded and understood what was going on. This was something they had discussed a long time ago. He said: "The best thing is to broadcast "Star You" after New Year's Day."
Hearing this, Lu Chuan said: "The current publicity is used as a basis. We will vigorously promote it in December and then broadcast it in January. This is also very appropriate."
Liu Yifei took a bite of her food, put down her chopsticks and said: "Our movie will be released globally on the 25th of this month, and will be released globally on December 25th. Then the press conference and celebration banquet for the release are unavoidable, and the Six Princesses of CCTV have always wanted to
An exclusive interview for our film would definitely take several days."
Chu Xuan added: "What we mean is to finish all the movie matters, and then focus on "Star You". Then we will hold a press conference, and then Mango Channel will arrange to broadcast it."
"Then you can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind." Huang Lei suddenly said this with a joking expression on his face.
"Oh~" Li Hed suddenly smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, understand, understand. I will communicate with Mango Channel on the specific date of the broadcast in January. We will talk on the phone later."
"Okay." The couple agreed.
"That's right." Long Fei didn't know what he thought of, and his face showed some interest. He put down his chopsticks and looked at the couple: "Mr. Chu, Producer Liu, "Full House 2" has already started broadcasting, and it can be said that there are no signs of it.
, but the timing of the broadcast is very clever, it happened to be when Producer Liu was stirring up public opinion about women's rights in South Korea."
"Really?" Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other, each of them had some interesting feelings.
"We never regarded it as a rival, but their management probably wanted to re-ignite the Korean Wave and launch an idol drama that they are most popular with. They just happened to encounter our "Star You", and they have always regarded us as their rival by default.
"Li Hun expressed his amusement.
Then, he added: "But I guess I saw that the voice for women's rights in South Korea was too strong, and Producer Liu is a core figure in it. If this momentum is added to the drama "Star You", their "
"Full House 2" was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of public opinion, so Blue Channel aired it in advance, without confronting us or airing it after us."
Huang Lei understood and said: "That means that they want to take advantage of the blank market period for idol dramas that have not yet been aired, and intend to get a wave of good results first to prove that there are still Korean idol dramas.
market, then even if the later broadcast of "Star You" becomes a hit, it will not stop their plan to revive the Korean Wave."
"Probably." Chu Xuan nodded, picked up some shredded potatoes with chopsticks, and said, "Just like "Sky Curtain" was released first, even if "Avatar" was released later and became a big hit, "Sky Curtain" also proved the feasibility of domestic science fiction.
Sex and commerciality, no matter how awesome "Avatar" is, it can't stop domestic capital from developing domestic special effects themes and motives."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li He said "hmm" and nodded: "Ignore it, we just do our best. They are doing Korean Wave here, and we can also go to them in the future.
There’s a Hua Liu going on there.”
Li He looked at Liu Yifei, raised his eyebrows and said, "With Producer Liu's current popularity and influence in South Korea, wouldn't it be simple to export reverse culture?"
Everyone laughed and looked at Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling a highly respected sense of honor in her heart.
Just like that, we briefly talked about "Star You" and chatted freely while eating and drinking. Everyone was very happy.
When night fell, the couple said "thank you" again in the final reunion cup, and everyone left happily, making an appointment to meet again next time.
…
Macau, hotel.
As soon as the couple got up early, they went straight to the airport with Zeng Ni and Lu Tao to fly to Macau. After getting off the plane, they rushed to the hotel without stopping.
I received a call yesterday. My mother missed them very much and said that she would come from Shenzhen to Macau to see them today to express her love for them.
As the couple's agent, the company's public brokerage business phone number has long been changed to Liu Xiaoli's business mobile phone number.
The Macau Film Festival's invitation to the couple also came from Liu Xiaoli's side.
As for the hotel accommodation arranged for the couple by the film festival, Liu Xiaoli could easily come to the hotel and get the room card.
Liu Yifei knocked on the door of her room. When the door was opened and she saw her mother, she immediately jumped forward with great joy and hugged her mother tightly: "Mom! Have you missed me?"
"What do you think?" Liu Xiaoli asked back, her smile full of longing for her daughter.
"Mom." Chu Xuan greeted cordially.
"Sister Li." Zeng Ni and Lu Tao then greeted.
Liu Xiaoli first looked at Zeng Ni and Lu Tao nodded slightly, then looked at Chu Xuan a few times, and then glanced back and forth on the faces of her son-in-law and daughter, but the next moment her expression changed.
She put on a straight face, folded her hands and said coldly: "You can do it, you can do whatever you want when you go abroad, right? Do you really think those capital tycoons are jealous when you do evil in Japan and South Korea? They caused such a big battle.
, if you are plotted by some big shots, you will be doomed! The outside is not as safe as in the country, you are such a big person, don’t you have any idea in your heart? "
Liu Yifei was originally filled with joy to see her mother, but when her mother suddenly changed her face and said such teaching words, she quickly suppressed the smile on her face.
Then, Liu Yifei moved sideways and hid behind Chu Xuan, her hands wrapped around Chu Xuan's waist from behind, her head slightly poked out from Chu Xuan's right shoulder, and she looked at her mother with a pair of careful eyes, mixed with some naughty expressions.
This move made Chu Xuan want to cry without tears. This Liu Yifei... She was the one who caused this. Now she knows how to hide after being scolded. She also hides behind him and lets him face the female devil alone. This daughter-in-law is
Very unreliable.
Liu Xiaoli was also amused by her daughter's actions, and the corner of her mouth could not help but raise a little, but she immediately stopped it, pretending to be very stern, scolding Chu Xuan: "You too, you don't care if she's not sensible.
Do you dare to touch such things as women’s rights? You even let people attack the Blue House. Do you know that you are really the one who would have been hanged and beaten in the old society?”
Hanging, Lingchi... Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh, and Liu Yifei's body behind him also trembled, thinking that she was also amused.
"Mom, I can't control it at all. With the rise of this feminist movement, she is like a queen. She wants me to wash my feet and massage her feet, and also wants me to buy three meals a day. I have no say at all, otherwise she will call her feminist
Fans come to beat me, what do you think I can do?" Chu Xuan said with an innocent face.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately punched him in the back, and heard two "hum" sounds.
Liu Xiaoli didn't hold back, she stretched her face and smiled. She glanced at her son-in-law who couldn't help but laugh, and then glanced at her daughter's cunning face on her son-in-law's shoulder. Then she sighed and said helplessly: "After all, my wings have hardened and I started to fly."
If you lose yourself, something will happen sooner or later."
"Oh!" Liu Yifei pulled out from behind Chu Xuan, gave her mother another hug, and comforted: "Isn't it okay? Many viewers in Japan and South Korea support and like me. I don't think I did anything wrong.
These are all what I want to say, and the media themselves want to amplify it. That is a problem of their social environment. I am just doing my own business."
"Sister Li, with such luck, it's only fitting that Sissi will become an international superstar." Zeng Ni helped and spoke for Liu Yifei.
"Yes." Chu Xuan also said helpfully: "This is also because my mother taught me well. Without my mother's guidance, Sissi would not be so good and speak convincing words that symbolize the brilliance of women."
"Oh!" Liu Xiaoli separated from her daughter and glared at Chu Xuan: "To tell you that, Sissi triggered the feminist movement, do you blame me?"
Liu Yifei made a "puff" sound, and Zeng Ni both looked like they were holding back their laughter, and both looked at Chu Xuan with teasing eyes.
"No, no, no." Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put his arms around his mother's shoulders and comforted him: "Mom, can you please turn this over? Since it has already happened, there is no point in talking about it anymore. It's better to just go with the flow and move on.
Later, Sissi was promoted to win the Asian market in one fell swoop.”
Liu Xiaoli glanced at him and said nothing in annoyance.
Chu Xuan continued: "Isn't your biggest wish to cultivate Sissi to be even more brilliant? Isn't this opportunity coming now?"
"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly.
Liu Xiaoli glared at her, and she quickly acted very well-behaved.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other vaguely, with a hint of interest appearing in the corners of their eyes.
"Hey." Liu Xiaoli sighed again, and then said seriously: "Before anything like this happens again, remember to discuss it with me, okay? Don't make me worry, okay?"
"OK." Liu Yifei smiled and raised her right hand to make an "OK" gesture.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that his mother was relieved, Chu Xuan also relaxed and joked: "I should take you with me this time, you didn't see the TV
The spectacular parade scene in the news is so shocking. You will definitely be proud of Sissi. It triggered such a big event that shocked the past and the present. Sissi's name will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."
"Come on." Liu Xiaoli waved her hand and said in an educational tone: "Every tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. You are lucky this time, but it may not happen next time."
Chu Xuan said: "The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. They are rotten trees. Qianqian is like a huanghuali, the kind that even a tornado cannot blow."
"Hahaha..." Liu Yifei and Zeng Ni laughed heartily. Even Lu Tao, who had never known amorous feelings, was amused by Chu Xuan, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
Liu Xiaoli also laughed, raised her hand and pulled Chu Xuan's face, saying: "Your mouth is really comparable to that of Zhuge Liang, who quarrels with other scholars. No wonder you can say such things on an island country's talk show
What you said was widely praised by the domestic media as a textbook-level answer, and it’s really yours.”
She has also seen news related to the island country's talk show. The performance of her daughter and son-in-law was likened by the media to "one civilized and one military", which made her feel gratified.
Although she is worried that her daughter is taking a feminist direction, the waves her daughter has made in South Korea and the feminine charm she has shown through her hard-fought performance in the island country make her a very honorable mother.
However, it is still dangerous for the daughter and son-in-law to make such a move. As a mother, she should be criticized on the surface. One is to show authority and motherly love, and the other is to fear that the daughter and son-in-law will really become inflated and miss the original intention.
Now it seems that the daughter and son-in-law are a bit inflated in terms of their recent performance. She can feel that the son-in-law is okay. It is probably that the female power has nothing to do with the son-in-law being a man, so she cannot feel the vanity brought by this momentum.
.
If this happens, I'm afraid I won't have to join forces with my son-in-law to suppress my daughter.
However, the wedding is coming soon, and this family fun needs to be considered in the long run.
"Zou Zhaolong and his friends live across the street, please go over and say hello," Liu Xiaoli said.
"It's just opposite, let's go." Liu Yifei pulled Chu Xuan and walked out. It had been some time since she had met the crew, and the couple were looking forward to meeting them.
