Not knowing how long she had slept, Liu Yifei suddenly opened her eyes.
The bedroom is extremely bright, and the weather is very sunny today.
The sun is overflowing and the sky is endless blue, which seems to indicate the beauty that is about to unfold today.
Liu Yifei stretched her curled up body, pushed away the quilt in her arms, picked up the mobile phone under the pillow and took a look.
She didn't go to bed until four in the morning, and now it's only early eight in the morning. She woke up after only four hours of sleep, which was different from her usual daily routine.
However, when a person keeps thinking about things that can cause great fluctuations in his mood, he will often wake up from his sleep unconsciously, which is normal.
Although she only slept for four hours, Liu Yifei didn't feel sleepy at all. When she thought of the birthday Chu Xuan had prepared for her today, she couldn't help but reveal an unusually happy smile.
She quickly got out of bed and put on her slippers, found a random set of clothes in the closet and changed into them, then trotted out of the bedroom.
Her mother was reading a book on the sofa, and Liu Yifei knew at a glance that her mother was waiting for her to wake up.
"Mother."
"Brush your teeth, wash your face, and go to the hotel to dress you up."
"OK."
Liu Yifei walked into the bathroom to wash up and briefly combed her hair.
She jumped and trotted out, her silky hair swaying. She didn't look too delicate, but her natural beauty didn't need any decoration.
"Let's go." Liu Xiaoli put down the book in her hand and stood up from the sofa.
Liu Yifei took her mother's hand, changed her shoes with her, turned the doorknob and locked the door.
The world outside the door was a bit brighter than inside, and the sunny weather made her feel even happier.
Under Liu Xiaoli's smiling eyes, her daughter jumped down one or two steps from time to time, her happy expression palpable.
My daughter is happy, and as a mother, she naturally feels joyful.
The green belt in the community made the corridor slightly shady, and Liu Yifei arched her eyebrows in relief.
When she was passing by a corner, she suddenly bent down and blew a quick breath on the grass.
White dandelions move in the wind, floating and blooming like fireworks.
In her eyes, this was like celebrating her birthday.
Occasionally, residents in the community pass by and greet acquaintances with a smile.
In her eyes, the friendly smiles of passers-by seemed to be blessing her.
Occasionally, there is a breeze blowing, the green leaves are swaying in the wind, and the birds are singing happily.
In her eyes, it seemed to be cheering for her coming of age.
Brother Xuan is right, if there is beauty in your heart, there will be love everywhere in the world.
With a soft smile on Liu Yifei's face, she and her mother arrived at the gate of the community and got into the nanny car that came to greet them.
--Shangri-La hotel.
When Liu Yifei got off the bus at the hotel entrance, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
Even if my mother didn't say where the birthday party would be held, she could guess that it was this hotel.
Bright Times had business cooperation with this hotel, and she knew about it.
She had been here many times with Chu Xuan before.
It's just that today's hotel seems a little different.
Above the hotel door, on the LED monochrome screen, text scrolls - [Happy 18th birthday to Ms. Liu Yifei!]
Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose, puffed her cheeks slightly, and looked at her mother with a smile in her eyes.
Liu Xiaoli smiled back, "Chu Xuan did it."
Liu Yifei shook her mother's hand and asked, "Is he in the hotel now?"
Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't know."
Liu Yifei snorted, "Hiding it to me again, he must be in the hotel!"
Liu Xiaoli raised her lips slightly, took her daughter's hand, pushed open the revolving door and walked in.
"Liu Yifei, happy birthday." The two girls at the front desk bent down slightly and congratulated Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Thank you."
The front desk clerk wished her a happy birthday?
It must be Chu Xuan who did it again!
She murmured in her heart and felt very sweet.
"Happy birthday." In front of the elevator door, two waiters came out and congratulated Liu Yifei.
"Thank you." Liu Yifei smiled lightly and walked into the elevator with her mother.
The elevator door opened and we arrived at the lobby floor.
Outside the spacious gold-encrusted hall, eight male and female waiters were setting up a sign-in wall and the like.
Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli came around the corner, and the waiters turned their heads when they heard the noise.
"Liu Yifei, happy birthday."
"Happy birthday……"
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you."
From the hotel entrance, to the hotel front desk, to entering the elevator, to exiting the elevator.
Chu Xuan's meticulous arrangements had already surprised her before the banquet started.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
When she and her mother walked into the hall, the sound of fireworks exploding shook her eardrums.
"Happy birthday!!"
Liu Yifei looked around and saw that Su Chang, Liu Tao, Cheng Hao, Jiang Xin, Hu Jun, Li Zhiqi and others were hiding on both sides. They looked like they were waiting for her to come.
"You scared me to death!" Liu Yifei patted her chest and let the fireworks fall on her head, smiling broadly.
She glanced at everyone, then clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you, brothers and sisters, thank you friends."
Although her birthday was hidden from her friends because of Chu Xuan, she was very happy when her friends were able to be there on her birthday.
"Look, how is the layout? Do you like it?"
After hearing her mother's words, Liu Yifei walked forward while looking at the hall.
In the hall, there are six long tables tens of meters long arranged on both sides. There are three rows of long tables on the left and right. The long tables are covered with golden cloth. At first glance, these long tables are where food and wine are placed.
There are eight small tables on each side of the six long tables. Next to the small tables is a three-quarter round purple sofa. Each sofa can seat six or seven people.
Between the large chandeliers on the ceiling, there are a total of twelve shining pink crystal decorative lamps. The decorative lamps are rotating, and the pink cherry blossoms shining on the ground are also rotating.
There are also various small decorations on the walls on both sides, with only three colors: gold, purple, and pink.
These three colors are her favorite colors.
The layout here can be said to be completely based on her preferences.
On the wall of the auditorium in the hall, in the projected image, the subtitles "Happy 18th birthday to Ms. Liu Yifei!" are clearly visible.
The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth curled up slightly. She had the urge to cry. From the moment she entered the hotel to the present, she could feel Chu Xuan's heart and love in every decoration she saw.
At this point, a deep touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Go to the room and have something to eat first, and then start putting on makeup and hairdo." Liu Xiaoli pulled her daughter's hand.
Liu Yifei nodded, waved to her friends, turned around and followed her mother out of the lobby and to the elevator entrance.
The elevator door opened, and Wang Jinhua walked out with her assistant, He Jiong, and Xie Na.
It was Chu Xuan's suggestion to ask He Jiong and Xie Na to be the host of one inside and one outside. The two of them were also very considerate and agreed immediately after seeing that the schedule was okay.
The main reason was that there were many guests at the banquet, and the class was quite high, which did not damage He Jiong's status as a popular host in the industry.
Of course, being on good terms with Chu Xuan was also one of the main reasons why He Jiong came.
"Sister Hua!" Liu Yifei shouted.
"Teacher He, Sister Na." She waved hello to Huang Bo and He Jiong.
"Happy birthday." He Jiong and Xie Na said with a genuine smile.
"Thank you." Liu Yifei said sweetly.
Wang Jinhua stroked her head and said kindly: "You go up and get ready. I will come up with Teacher He later to discuss the process with you."
"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded in agreement and immediately asked: "Sister Hua, where is Chu Xuan?"
Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli looked at each other and smiled. She said mysteriously: "Chu Xuan is preparing a surprise for you somewhere. He said he can't see you until the surprise is ready, otherwise you will disturb his train of thought."
A smile appeared in Liu Yifei's eyes, avoiding me and preparing a surprise for me?
She hummed and walked into the elevator with her mother in a very happy mood.
Wang Jinhua, He Jiong, and Xie Na came to the hall and said hello to everyone chatting with each other in the hall.
Wang Jinhua looked at Jiang Xin and said, "Jiang Xin, how about you and Xie Na being in charge of welcoming guests and hosting guest sign-ins later?"
Jiang Xin looked confused and pointed at herself, "Me?"
Wang Jinhua raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said: "I heard from Chu Xuan, do you want to join the Brilliant Era?"
Hearing this, Hu Jun, Li Congcheng and Xia Yu glanced at Jiang Xin.
Hu Jun knew Jiang Xin best. He waved his hand and said: "Standing at the door to sign in, you are a person of the brilliant era."
Jiang Xin was awakened by Hu Jun's words. Her eyes lit up and she raised her hands and said, "Sister Hua, I'll go!"
Seeing this, Hu Jun and Chen Hao all raised their eyebrows and smiled.
"Come, follow Sister Na." Xie Na waved and led Jiang Xin out of the hall.
Wang Jinhua and He Jiong walked towards the front podium, chatting about the process.
Hu Jun, Li Zhengtong, Cheng Hao and others were sitting on the sofa at the nearest table in front of the door, chatting among themselves.
There were many guests coming, so naturally someone needed to say hello, and Hu Jun and the others were just the right ones. Cheng Hao and the others, as friends of Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan, had come a few days in advance, so they took advantage of the opportunity to join the Bright Times team to help.
A group of first-line artists came to open up the banquet, and the style of the banquet was invisibly elevated by several levels.
For the Brilliant Era, this can be regarded as a kind of card.
As for this banquet, when Cheng Hao and the others arrived a few days ago, they had no idea that Chu Xuan would have such a big party. Chu Xuan didn't say anything about it, and the invitation letter didn't mention who was invited.
Today, after hearing Hu Jun and the others talk about it in detail, they realized how valuable this banquet was.
Artists account for the majority, but there are also many big names.
In particular, some investors and big directors will also be present, and they are really surprised.
They felt that Liu Yifei's birthday party was an unprecedented presence in the industry.
Not only were they surprised, the media were also surprised.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Some invited media, under the control of Xie Na and Jiang Xin, began to arrange machines at the door.
The time has not yet come and the media are temporarily not allowed to enter.
Participating in the photographic recording of a birthday party, these media outlets have never had such an experience.
With the list given by Brilliant Era in advance, their horizons were really broadened.
The level of luxury of the lineup on the list is no less than that of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and even more so.
In addition, in order to hold this birthday party, Bright Times has booked the Shangri-La Hotel's housing department for a day. Guests can use the invitation letter to change their room card at the front desk to stay for free.
All they could say was that they were so proud.
Not to mention the banquet and hall decoration, the cost alone is estimated to be 1.8 million.
"Really awesome." Xinlang reporter marveled.
"The glorious era is magnificent! We can also stay in a five-star hotel for one day." The assistant grinned.
"It's really grand. They also gave us a big red envelope. We have to report it well tomorrow." The photographer adjusted the lens and said.
"The person behind this banquet is Chu Xuan. If it is reported tomorrow, they will probably have a scandal." The assistant said.
"So what if there is a scandal. The affairs between the two of them are semi-public in the industry. Many of their fans have vaguely inferred it. They have been together in so many movies and TV dramas. Everything is a mystery, unless
They made it public on their own or were photographed by their colleagues in really intimate photos, otherwise the scandal would probably have ended in nothing." Xinlang reporter said.
"You said that Chu Xuan spent so much money just to have a birthday party for Liu Yifei. What was he doing?" the photographer muttered.
Reporter Xinlang raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's true love."
The assistant raised his eyebrows, "Is there true love in the entertainment industry?"
Reporter Xinlang asked, "If it wasn't true love, would Chu Xuan dare to hold a birthday party for Liu Yifei in public, invite so many big shots to witness it, and let us reporters take pictures for the whole country to see?"
The assistant suddenly said, "That's true, but by doing this, the weaknesses of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will be exposed. If these two people don't get married in the end, it will be a big scandal, and it will be difficult to end it."
The photographer touched his chin and said, "I have a hunch that there will be big melons today."
Reporter Xinlang shook his head, "Whether there is a big melon or not, it is enough for us to take pictures of some big names entering the party. With so many people attending a birthday party, it is a very magical and eye-catching big melon in itself."
The photographer nodded, "Today we can only shoot but not interview, but tomorrow we will have an exclusive interview with Liu Yifei."
Reporter Xinlang smiled, "Our company has a cooperative relationship with Bright Times, which is good. It's not easy to get Liu Yifei's exclusive interview rights, but I hope it's best to call Chu Xuan here for the interview. I'm more interested in Chu Xuan."
interested."
The assistant nodded slightly, "Chu Xuan is so mysterious. Apart from appearing on "Happy Camp", he has never appeared on any program, never been interviewed on any TV, and has not even been interviewed on paper. What kind of star is this? I am convinced.
.But such a person became the vice chairman of Brilliant Times within two years of his debut, which is amazing."
Sina reporters and photographers nodded.
The banquet starts at six o'clock and the ceremony is held at seven o'clock.
The media arrived early, and some guests were not there yet.
There was nothing to take pictures of, so Xie Na and Jiang Xin reluctantly fell into the eyes of the media. Hu Jun, Li Congtong and others who were wandering inside and outside the door finally gave them a surprise.
A group of A-list entertainers serve as receptionists. This team is a perfect match. It would be a pity not to do something to promote it.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon, when guests started arriving one after another, that the photographers changed the subjects of their photos.
Ning Hao, Huang Bo brought "Crazy Stone" cast member Guo Tao and others...
Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen, Jiang Yiyan and some classmates, senior brothers and sisters from the same school...
Yang Mi, Yang Rui, Zhao Dan, Meng Guangmei and other cast members of "The Condor"...
Lin Zhiying, Gao Hu and other cast members of "Dragon"...
Cai Yinong, Li Guoli, An Yixuan, Peng Yuyan and other cast members of "Sword"...
The guests entered the venue one by one, those who were familiar with each other began to communicate, and those who did not know each other also began to say hello.
As Chen Musheng, Cheng Long and Xie Tingfeng and other people from "New Police Story" walked into the hall, the scene fell silent for a while, and everyone stood up to say hello.
As soon as they sat down, big shots and big shots came hand in hand.
Li Lianjie, Hong Jinbao, Liu Dehua...
Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong...
Until nearly six o'clock, Wang Jinhua and a person walked side by side, talking and laughing.
The media reporters were excited, "Han Sanping is really here!"
Han Sanping, the founder of Chinese cinema.
When they got the list, they didn't believe that this person would show up at a birthday party.
Who would have thought, it's really here.
"Why do Wang Jinhua and Han Sanping have such a good relationship? I've never heard of it." The assistant muttered in a low voice.
A reporter from the other side came over and said, "I heard that China Film Group is a shareholder of Bright Times, and Han Sanping is the vice chairman of China Film Group. It seems that Bright Times is planning to open a theater, maybe there is some cooperation with China Film Group."
Xinlang reporter suddenly realized, "Brilliant Times is so awesome. It also has shares in Xinlang Micro-Entertainment and the support of Huaying. Its fundamentals are much better than Huayi."
The reporter shook his head, "This has nothing to do with us. Business matters are left to business reporters. Anyway, I only know that Han Sanping came to attend Liu Yifei's birthday party. No one dares to mess with Liu Yifei in the future, and no one in the circle dares to criticize her.
It really took off.”
The assistant nodded and sighed: "This Chu Xuan really loves Liu Yifei. A birthday party will bring Liu Yifei to the top."
The photographer touched his chin, "Let me try to understand Chu Xuan's thoughts. Does Chu Xuan want to smooth over his and Liu Yifei's worries, and then enjoy the entertainment industry with peace of mind?"
Reporter Xinlang patted him and said, "What are you thinking about! Hurry up, it's six o'clock, we can enter the venue, go grab a good seat and wait for Liu Yifei to appear."
A group of media people walked quickly towards the lobby, and the security guard at the door let them go.
The hall was very lively, full of guests and friends, and there was only one person waiting.
