In the past, when talking about some serious matters, if Chu Xuan was not around, Liu Yifei would feel like she had lost her backbone.
But now, with Chu Xuan's guidance when she was on the set of "The Condor", the recognition of the teachers on the directing team, and now the teachers' encouragement, coupled with Chu Xuan's support, she is confident to shine.
Chu Xuan left temporarily, but she still talked endlessly about her ideas in the office and described her inner world's imagination about [immortal].
It was also because of this concentration that Liu Yifei temporarily forgot about her birthday due to her current affairs and hard work.
However, Liu Yifei may have forgotten that Chu Xuan, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua, the three people who care about her, naturally keep this matter in their hearts.
The 25th is getting closer and closer, so we need to arrange things in advance.
After telling Liu Yifei a white lie, Liu Xiaoli asked Wang Jinhua to wait at the elevator entrance while Chu Xuan came to the dubbing room of the company.
"Teacher Zhang."
In the company's dubbing room, Chu Xuan opened the door and stood at the door and shouted softly.
Teacher Zhang, the supervisor of the dubbing room, heard the sound and looked up. He smiled when he saw it was Chu Xuan. He took off his headphones, paused the video playing on the TV, took a USB flash drive from the table, stood up and walked towards Chu Xuan.
"Mr. Chu, your dubbing and edited videos are all in this USB flash drive. Each type of video corresponds to a folder in the USB flash drive. I have named them all."
Chu Xuan took the USB flash drive and looked at it for a few times, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
These days, he and Liu Yifei were working on the script at the company. During this period, he would either use the excuse of "going to the bathroom" or the excuse of "Sister Hua wants to see me for something" to sneak out and prepare a surprise for Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei is very sensitive to him, and her magical sixth sense is like she can see into the future.
It's not easy to do things under Liu Yifei's nose.
Fortunately, Liu Yifei was distracted by being immersed in the world of "Zhu Xian", and he finally completed the surprise.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. Now that you are busy, I will take the first step."
"Mr. Chu, you're welcome, please go slowly."
Chu Xuan stuffed the USB flash drive into his pocket and turned around to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, there was suddenly a person behind him, which startled him.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Chu Xuan took a step back.
Liu Xiaoli and Sister Hua were obviously waiting at the elevator entrance, but now they appeared here mysteriously.
Liu Xiaoli crossed her arms with a half-smile expression on her face. She lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the USB drive in Chu Xuan's hand that had not yet been put into his pocket.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan understood Liu Xiaoli's intention to follow him quietly, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Auntie, don't be curious, you will know in a few days."
Liu Xiaoli let go of her arms and walked towards the company door while holding onto Chu Xuan's shoulders. Wang Jinhua looked at them with a smile at the door.
"Video?" Liu Xiaoli guessed, and she met up with Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua and headed for the elevator.
Chu Xuan smiled at her and said nothing.
"Dubbing?"
The elevator door opened, and Liu Xiaoli guessed again.
Wang Jinhua felt amused and walked in, followed closely by Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli.
The elevator door slowly closed, Wang Jinhua smiled slightly and said: "Your aunt is like a little girl, full of curiosity."
Hearing Wang Jinhua's words, Chu Xuan nodded to Liu Xiaoli with a smile on his face.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said: "It's my daughter's birthday, and her boyfriend is planning a surprise, or he won't let me know about it. Now that I know, of course I'm curious. Besides, the three of us are acting together, and you two know the whole plan.
, I only know a little bit about it, so it’s not fair.”
She glanced at Chu Xuan again, "It seems like it's better to be a sister. Tell her everything. I don't know anything."
The elevator door opened, and Chu Xuan walked out holding back a smile.
Wang Jinhua followed him out and joked: "Sister Li, you used to be jealous of Chu Xuan because of Qian Qian, but now you are jealous of me because of Chu Xuan. You are so jealous."
Chu Xuan, who was walking in front, couldn't hold back and laughed loudly.
Liu Xiaoli smiled broadly and stretched out her right hand to grab Wang Jinhua's shoulder. Wang Jinhua's teasing made her a little interesting.
Chu Xuan suppressed his laughter, turned around and said, "Auntie, don't be jealous, can I tell you when I get to the hotel?"
He turned around and stepped into the commercial car and got in.
Hearing this, Wang Jinhua's eyebrows rose with joy, and Liu Xiaoli's smile did not diminish, and they got into the car together.
The business car started slowly and headed towards the hotel.
--Shangri-La hotel.
Although this hotel is not the number one hotel, it is also one of the top ten hotels in Beijing. Last year, the joint press conference of Bright Times and Xinlang was successfully held here.
Entertainment companies have a lot of business dealings. People who come to the company to talk about cooperation will basically have a team of assistants. Regardless of whether the cooperation is successful or not, arranging food and accommodation in advance is a way of hospitality and looks grand.
The beginning of the Bright Era was at the beginning of this hotel. Wang Jinhua, for the sake of good luck, asked the Bright Era to negotiate a long-term business cooperation with this hotel.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.
In front of the hotel, two sports cars, one red and one blue, slowly stopped.
Two male greeters stepped forward to open the door, and four girls got out of the two cars, either wearing sunglasses or hats.
The two greeters got into the sports car and drove to the hotel parking lot, and the four girls walked into the hotel.
"Where are the people from Chu Xuan?" Su Chang opened the revolving door and walked into the lobby. Suddenly, a blast of air-conditioned wind blew on her face, which was very refreshing. She looked left and right.
"Probably not here yet." Cheng Hao took off his sunglasses and put them on his V-shaped collar.
"Let's go get a room first, the presidential suite!" Liu Tao pushed his sunglasses on his head and walked excitedly towards the front desk.
"Chu Xuan said just tell him his name." Jiang Xin put the hat on her head and put it on backwards.
Chu Xuan asked them to come a few days in advance to help decorate and take care of the scene, striving to make everything in the style Liu Yifei likes.
As friends, they agreed immediately and made a small request: a meal and a presidential suite.
For Chu Xuan, this was indeed a small request. He asked his friends to help. Naturally, he also wanted his friends to have a good time, so he agreed.
"Liu Tao, Cheng Hao, Su Chang..." The girl at the front desk's eyes lit up.
Jiang Xin pouted, "Don't you recognize me?"
"Hello, it's a presidential suite. Chu Xuan said just give him his name, right?" Cheng Hao put one hand on the tiles at the front desk and asked with a smile in her eyes.
After hearing what she said, the girl at the front desk raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, as if she thought of something and then suddenly realized for a moment.
The girl at the front desk picked up her workbook, flipped through a few pages and glanced at it.
"You are coming to the banquet on the 25th, right? Mr. Chu has reserved a presidential suite in advance, which should be for you, but I need to call to confirm."
The girl at the front desk picked up the landline phone.
As soon as the call went out, a cell phone ringing sound came from the door.
The lobby was empty, and the voice was clear and loud.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound, and saw Chu Xuan, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua walking over with smiles on their faces.
Chu Xuan raised his cell phone. Upon seeing this, the girl at the front desk put down the phone and raised a professional smile on her face.
"Give them the key card."
"Okay, Mr. Chu." The girl at the front desk politely said "Mr. Wang" to Wang Jinhua and "Hello" to Liu Xiaoli.
The girl at the front desk handed over a room card, and Cheng Hao took it on her behalf.
"Sister Hua, Aunt Liu." The four girls said sweetly.
"Sister Hua!" Cheng Hao and Wang Jinhua hugged each other.
"Are you okay?" Wang Jinhua patted her back.
"It's okay, but I think it's better to be your artist back then." Cheng Hao said fondly.
"The door to the splendid era is open to you at any time." Wang Jinhua smiled back.
Chu Xuan raised his lips slightly and joked: "Then you should also ask my opinion."
Cheng Haoxiao looked at Chu Xuan with a smile, shook his head and said: "I don't ask for your opinion, I ask for Qianqian's opinion."
Everyone was happy when they heard the words.
Wang Jinhua nodded slightly at Su Chang and others and said: "Long time no see, they are getting more and more beautiful."
This is not a polite statement.
Seventeen-year-old Su Chang, twenty-two-year-old Jiang Xin, and twenty-four-year-old Liu Tao are indeed beautiful in Wang Jinhua's eyes.
"Sister Hua, you are getting younger and younger." Liu Tao smiled, Su Chang and Jiang Xin nodded in agreement.
Wang Jinhua shook her head and glanced at Liu Xiaoli, "Your Aunt Liu is getting younger and younger."
Su Chang nodded, "Yes! My mother said Aunt Liu is absolutely beautiful!"
Cheng Hao, Liu Tao and Jiang Xin glanced at Liu Xiaoli and wondered if it was because Liu Xiaoli had been so relaxed and happy this year. It did feel like she was growing against the grain.
"Aunt Liu is really young." Cheng Hao praised.
Liu Xiaoli was still happy when she received praise from her juniors, whether it was polite or sincere.
She pinched Su Chang's face and said, "Changchang, why have you lost weight again?"
Su Chang wrinkled his nose and smiled playfully, "Last year I filmed "Lotus Lantern" and this year I filmed "Jingwei Reclamation". I was exhausted from filming two costume myth dramas in a row."
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Why do I think you are showing off?"
"That's right." Liu Tao, Cheng Hao, and Jiang Xin nodded teasingly.
Chu Xuan took two steps forward and said a few words to the girl at the front desk.
He turned back and said, "You go up and put your luggage first, I will come down to find you later."
"Okay." The four girls waved to Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli, laughing and walking away.
Chu Xuan watched them for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Auntie, I'll take you to see the surprise."
Hearing this, the corners of Wang Jinhua's lips raised slightly.
Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly and said: "Let's go."
As a mother, she was really curious about what Chu Xuan, her boyfriend, would give her on her eighteenth birthday.
Wang Jinhua is not a "good person" either. These days, she is always tempting her with things that Chu Xuan has been preparing for half a year, things that are unique in the world, things that you can't even imagine.
Although Wang Jinhua was trying to whet her appetite, the more Wang Jinhua said this, the more curious she became.
I mentioned this matter to Chu Xuan in the morning, but Qian Qian happened to be here, so she couldn’t ask more questions.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was willing to take the initiative to say that she wanted to see what it was.
She followed Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua to the hotel warehouse, where gifts were stored specifically for Chu Xuan in a separate warehouse.
She spent about ten minutes watching Chu Xuan show off his gifts and listening to Chu Xuan's plan.
Although she hadn't finished reading the gift yet, she already understood it in her heart.
She walked out of the warehouse, smiled and said, "Okay, if you are serious, Sissi will be very touched."
Wang Jinhua glanced at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Sister Li, on the night of Sissi's birthday in a few days, how about we follow Sissi to see the surprise arranged by Chu Xuan?"
Liu Xiaoli nodded and said expectantly: "I have to go, I want to see Sissy's reaction."
Hearing this, Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan looked at each other vaguely, each with a hint of smile.
The designer from the decoration company arrived, and Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli took the elevator to the lobby.
Chu Xuan took the elevator to the floor of the presidential suite and called Cheng Hao and Su Chang out.
The group of them and Chu Xuan were walking in the corridor of the hotel while listening to Chu Xuan's words.
When they took the elevator to the lobby floor, they already knew exactly what kind of help Chu Xuan asked them to do.
Chu Xuan and his party met with Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua in the lobby. The designers of the decoration company were listening to Liu Xiaoli's opinions.
"Gold, pink, purple." Liu Xiaoli said.
"Then we will focus on these three colors." the designer said.
"Are there any decorative lights that look like cherry blossoms?" Chu Xuan came over and asked.
"Yes, this hall is fifty meters long and 30 meters wide. We can arrange a total of twelve ceiling decorative lights in three rows, which will look like cherry blossoms when shining on the ground." The designer replied.
"I want a crystal lamp, birthday people like crystal." Chu Xuan elaborated on the request.
"Okay." The designer nodded.
The people who know Liu Yifei best are her mother and Chu Xuan. Wang Jinhua, Cheng Hao and the others have no say in how the hall is arranged.
Cheng Hao, Liu Tao, Su Chang and Jiang Xin listened to the requests made by Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli, and imagined what the hall would look like after the decoration was completed based on their requests.
At this moment, although they are Liu Yifei's good friends, they are still very envious of Liu Yifei.
As a girl, it is a very happy thing to have someone to protect you and also carefully prepare a big birthday party as a surprise.
At least, they have never heard of or seen such a banquet.
Chu Xuan set a precedent, and this precedent fell on Liu Yifei.
They more or less want to have such treatment, but unfortunately, there is only one Chu Xuan in this world.
And those who enjoy such treatment, although they know nothing about their birthday, are still very excited now.
——The Brilliant Era.
The office room where the director team is located.
The sun began to set, and only Liu Yifei was left here.
She took a pen and wrote quickly on the paper, and she drew various patterns on the paper.
She is happy to be immersed in the world of Xianxia, and she longs for being able to construct elements of the world based on her own imagination.
Influenced by her mother, she wanted to be an artist since she was a child.
Although she knows that she is still far from these three words now, she is still young and there is still a long way to go in the future, right?
"Click~" The pencil broke.
Liu Yifei was suddenly startled, and felt a little frightened.
She stretched and looked around. The teachers were all gone.
She looked at her watch and said, "It's almost 6 o'clock."
Liu Yifei murmured, her eyes bulging slightly as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Brother Xuan, why haven't you come back yet?"
She picked up the phone and was about to call Chu Xuan when the door lock rang and Chu Xuan opened the door and walked in.
"Why did you come back?" Liu Yifei frowned, pretending to be unhappy.
Chu Xuan smiled gently, stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said: "On the way back from Bieyuan, I stopped by to do something important with Sister Hua."
He told a white lie.
Liu Yifei blinked, stretched out her hand to pinch Chu Xuan's face, and said naughtily: "Why don't you give me a call and say something after taking so long?"
Chu Xuan hugged her waist and picked her up, "I forgot for a moment, please pay attention next time, I'm sorry."
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and hugged his neck, "I just thought of a lot of good ideas. I think the world of "Zhu Xian" will definitely be exciting."
In front of the door, Chu Xuan put her down, took her hand, opened the door and walked out.
"Then I'll listen to you tell stories when you go home."
