"Everyone who is welcoming relatives and friends, please note that the flight from Beijing to this station has arrived. Thank you..."
At noon the next day, passengers at Xiangjiang Airport were coming and going.
Unlike the weather in Beijing where the weather is several degrees below zero, everyone wears down jackets and other winter cotton-padded clothes.
Today's temperature in Hong Kong is 17 degrees, and most of the people here wear a singlet and a coat.
There were piles of people greeting relatives and friends outside the passage, and some of them were holding cards representing their status. The cards were written in English, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese to show that those being greeted could see them immediately and come to join them.
On the advertising light boards on both sides of the passage, a variety of advertisements and celebrity images are eye-catching, including the endorsement advertisements of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei - Go to Weiyu to open a new world.
But what deserves more attention is the pre-show screen of the Olympic Games and the slogan - Huaguo Xiangjiang welcomes you.
"Look at our advertisement."
The family of three and the team were walking in the passage, having basically finished handling the matters in the capital, and finally arrived in Xiangjiang today feeling relaxed.
Seeing her advertisement, Liu Yifei pulled Chu Xuan's hand.
Chu Xuan turned his head and looked, and Liu Xiaoli and his team also turned their heads and looked.
The Micro Entertainment endorsement was accepted the year before last. At that time, I took a lot of graphic photos and promoted it online and offline. I didn't expect that the Micro Entertainment operation team could promote it to Xiangjiang. This business expanded quite quickly.
Liu Xiaoli said: "This endorsement is good. I will talk to Mr. Cao about renewing it when it expires next year."
When celebrities accept endorsements, it is something that needs to be carefully considered. If you go in the high-end direction, you will be too far away from the people. If you go in the low-end direction, the product will often have problems and affect its reputation.
In general, most endorsements need to attract people to buy the product in order to reflect the commercial value of the star. However, no one can guarantee the quality of the product. After all, there are no absolutes in the world, so accepting endorsements requires careful consideration.
But Weiyu's endorsement is different. It does not require the public to spend money, but everyone can see the two of them on the login interface when they log in to Weiyu. Their images have always been the same since the endorsement.
Page cover.
As the number of Weiyu users increases and a large number of new ones are added every day, the national popularity of Chu Xuan and Qian Qian will only get higher and higher.
Therefore, she is quite satisfied with this endorsement. There is almost no risk of affecting her reputation, and she does not let the audience spend money. She just logs in to Weiyu every day. Subtly, it will only make the two children more popular among the people.
That's pretty good.
"How long ago was the last time we came to Xiangjiang?" Liu Yifei held Chu Xuan's hand and recalled the last time we came to Xiangjiang.
Chu Xuan recalled for a moment and said: "The premiere of "New Police Story" in the second half of 2004."
"Oh yes!" Liu Yifei remembered and nodded.
Three years have passed before I knew it, and coming back after three years feels like a world away.
Three years ago, she and Chu Xuan were still inconspicuous little stars, but who could have imagined the achievements they have now three years ago.
But when she came to Xiangjiang three years ago, it brought her a lot of good things, and a smile appeared on her face just by recalling them.
"Mom." she shouted.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter.
"You know, during the Chinese New Year in Xiangjiang that year, we went out together to buy new year's goods. You bought in front, and Chu Xuan and I quietly held hands behind." Liu Yifei said in a lively and authentic manner, and said something that Liu Xiaoli had no idea about.
thing.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. At that time, he and Liu Yifei were still secretly in love, and he still had a certain sense of fear towards Liu Xiaoli.
Liu Yifei was very courageous and liked to pursue excitement. She carried Liu Xiaoli behind her back and forced her to play a hand-holding game with him on the street.
This is quite funny when I think about it.
Liu Xiaoli didn't know about this, but after hearing what her daughter said, she could imagine the general picture after just a little thought.
She was shopping in front, and the two children were secretly holding hands behind?
Hearing that her daughter's tone was showing off, she said, "Why, you don't learn how to fall in love at a young age, and you still want me to praise you?"
Liu Yifei pursed her lips, knowing that her mother said this on purpose, but she also cooperated and acted as if she was scared.
"Good scolding." Chu Xuan supported Liu Xiaoli.
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and reached out to pinch Chu Xuan's waist.
"Same for you!" Liu Xiaoli criticized Chu Xuan again.
Chu Xuan shut up, and Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed.
"Auntie." Chu Xuan said, "My biggest gain from dating is that I really can't figure out how there is such a good mother-in-law in this world."
Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly and agreed: "I can't understand how my mother can be so good. I thought she was the best mother in the world, but I didn't expect that she could be so good."
Chu Xuan thought that his beautiful words had reached their peak, but he didn't expect that Liu Yifei would go even further.
"Right?" Liu Yifei shook Chu Xuan's hand, then turned to look at Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and the others.
Chu Xuan, Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and others suppressed their laughter: "Yes, yes."
Liu Xiaoli couldn't laugh or cry. The two children looked at her and said a few words, then turned around and cooperated in a tacit understanding to please her. Based on her love for the two children, these sweet words were really irresistible to her.
Although it is an exaggeration, it is comfortable to listen to.
But seeing the two children unite against her, she also wanted to fight back: "Since I am so good, why are you still holding his hand?"
Liu Xiaoli lowered her eyebrows and looked at her daughter and Chu Xuan's hands clasped together.
When Liu Yifei heard this, she said to Chu Xuan: "Let's break up for a minute."
She let go of Chu Xuan's hand, came to her mother's side, and put her arms around her mother's arms, very intimately.
When Zeng Ni, Lu Tao, and members of Luo School's middle team saw this scene, they felt that this family was really having fun.
"Sister Li." A shout came from outside the passage. It was the person who came to greet the crew and was also Tang Jili's assistant.
Tang Jili often brought this assistant with him to Bright Times, and Liu Xiaoli also got to know him. After saying hello, she took Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and the team out with Assistant Tang Jili.
"Chu Xuan? Liu Yifei?" The square was crowded with people. People who got close took a few glances and realized that there were actually two big stars next to them.
This girl speaks Cantonese and seems to be a local from Xiangjiang.
If it was Xiangjiang three years ago, no one would know who Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were.
But it is very different now. "New Police Story" in 2004, "Sword" in 2005, "The Condor" in 2006, and "Struggle" in 2007 this year.
One work is circulated in the Hong Kong market every year, giving Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei a good reputation in Hong Kong.
The most famous one on Baodao is "The Immortal Sword", while on the Xiangjiang side it is "The Divine Condor".
But it’s not as good as the overwhelming praise for “The Condor” in mainland China. “The Condor” is half black and half red in Hong Kong.
Liu Yifei VS Li Ruotong, Chu Xuan VS Gu Tianle.
Between these two pairs, Xiao Longnu and Yang Guo, there is still debate about who is better and who is better.
The old version of "The Condor" is very sentimental, and its advantages in this regard are unmatched by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's version. Therefore, the voices supporting Li Ruotong and Gu Tianle's version of "The Condor" were louder in the past two years.
However, as the promotion of Weiyu came to Hong Kong, Weiyu, a social networking site, gradually opened up the market. Originally, all the people in Xiangjiang were using overseas social networking sites, which were gradually replaced by Weiyu.
After two years of fermentation, I can learn more about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei on Weiyu, and when I log in to Weiyu, I can see the handsome and beautiful cover backgrounds of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
As a result, there are more and more voices supporting Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's version of "The Condor", and the acceptance of it by the people of Xiangjiang is also getting higher and higher.
Nowadays, the fame of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in Xiangjiang is naturally incomparable to that of big names, but they are still on the first or second tier.
Hearing this girl call out the names of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, some tourists nearby looked curiously and took pictures with their mobile phones. There were also friends traveling from the mainland who said hello excitedly.
"Hello." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei waved their hands. The situation of passers-by watching was much different from that on the mainland, but it was a huge change from the lack of attention when they came to Xiangjiang three years ago.
There was a nanny car and three business cars waiting on the roadside. Liu Xiaoli took Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and Zeng Ni into the nanny car, and the others followed Assistant Tang Jili and got into the business cars respectively.
"See, you have succeeded in the mainland, and you have also taken a step in Xiangjiang." Liu Xiaoli said to the two children as the vehicle started and set off for the hotel.
She saw the scene just now. Although the Bright Era did not regard Hong Kong and Taiwan as its main battlefield and did not attach much importance to the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, she was still very pleased that the two children who came to Hong Kong were treated differently from those three years ago.
of.
Chu Xuan helped Liu Yifei smooth her hair and freed her hair from her collar, and said: "This shows that our works are not bad, and we must focus on our works in the future."
Liu Yifei put her hand on Chu Xuan's shoulder and nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly, others would only think about how to take advantage of the situation to open up a bigger situation, but these two children only thought about their works, and their mentality was as stable as ever.
The vehicle passed through the streets and alleys and arrived at the hotel where the crew was staying.
"Hey, this is the hotel we stayed in three years ago, right?" Liu Yifei got out of the car and took a look.
"Yes." Liu Xiaoli confirmed and walked in with Assistant Tang Jili.
"Full of memories." Chu Xuan said, taking his suitcase from Zeng Ni.
"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded and looked at everything in the hotel lobby. Scenes of the past seemed to appear before her eyes.
I secretly fell in love with Chu Xuan, celebrated the New Year with Chu Xuan for the first time, celebrated Chu Xuan’s 20th birthday, and cried when I saw Chu Xuan for the first time...
"When this silly girl celebrated my birthday, she secretly got some fireworks. I was wondering why there were fireworks over Victoria Harbor since it wasn't a big day that night." Chu Xuan walked into the elevator.
"And there were fireworks?" Liu Xiaoli didn't know about this. She only knew that her daughter celebrated Chu Xuan's birthday alone.
Now when Chu Xuan mentioned this matter, she said in a jealous tone: "I have never been treated like this in my life. I raised this daughter in vain."
As the elevator went up, Chu Xuan, Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and Luo Xiaozhong laughed.
Liu Yifei hugged her mother's arm tightly and leaned on her shoulder to comfort her.
She turned around and looked at Chu Xuan quietly, stretched out a hand and spread her fingers, and then slightly clasped them into a circle.
Chu Xuan instantly understood that Liu Yifei was talking about a surprise for his mother-in-law's 50th birthday, and he nodded.
When the elevator reaches the corresponding floor, a group of people get out of the elevator and walk onto the carpet corridor, and each take their cards and go back to their rooms.
Assistant Tang Jili was waiting at the elevator, waiting for everyone to put away their luggage and take them downstairs for dinner.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei swiped their cards and entered the room. This was the second time the couple lived together outside the home since "Legend of Red Flame" in Hengcheng. Liu Xiaoli didn't say much. It seemed that they had completely acquiesced and got used to it.
The rooms are either the family-style layout of Hengcheng at that time, or they are more luxurious executive suites.
This is a little uncomfortable for them who have stayed in more comfortable hotels.
"Change clothes, it's a bit hot." Liu Yifei came to the bedroom and opened her suitcase to look for spring clothes.
The temperature difference between Beijing and Xiangjiang is huge, so they all wear very warm clothes.
I was still in the adaptation stage when I got off the plane, but now I feel a little too hot when I get to the hotel.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei changed their clothes to adapt to the weather here. Taking off their thick clothes also made them feel much more relaxed.
"Let's go down to eat first. Director Tang and Brother Chenglong are waiting. Come back and tidy up after dinner." Chu Xuan zipped up his brown leather jacket.
"Okay." Liu Yifei put on a black women's windbreaker. The windbreaker was a long one with the tail falling to her calves. The inner layer was a white knitted sweater.
"What you're doing..." Chu Xuan looked at it: "It's a bit rusty."
Liu Yifei flipped the hair on the back of her head to make it flow down her back better.
Hearing what Chu Xuan said, she winked at Chu Xuan with her right eye and teased her. After fixing her hair, she stretched out a finger and put it on Chu Xuan's chin: "Handsome guy, I'm attracted to you."
Chu Xuan took her hand and walked out the door: "Then come with me."
After waiting in the corridor, Liu Xiaoli also changed her clothes and came out. A white and black silk coat was draped all over her body, and the hem of her clothes was fluttering as she walked.
"Liu Tianxian." Chu Xuan suddenly thought of this word.
Liu Xiaoli made a "puff" sound, and immediately smiled through her newly arranged appearance. She raised her hand and pulled Chu Xuan's ear.
Liu Yifei was also overjoyed. This long-lost title awakened her memory.
Although some viewers today call her that on the Internet, no one knows that this is the nickname Chu Xuan gave to his mother in this hotel three years ago.
The family came to the elevator, met with Assistant Tang Jili, and prepared to go downstairs for dinner.
It was not appropriate to bring Zeng Ni and her team with them, so Liu Xiaoli asked them to order their own meals in the hotel.
"Director Tang, big brother!" There were only two people in the box, Tang Jili and Chenglong. Perhaps to facilitate communication, Tang Jili and Chenglong did not call anyone else.
Assistant Tang Jili closed the door and left.
"Xuanzai, Xixi, Xiaoli." Chenglong and Chu Xuan came into a bear hug, and Chenglong squeezed Chu Xuan's biceps as usual.
"Okay, keep it up." Chenglong patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder.
"I filmed in Gansu for more than a month. I rode horses and practiced equestrian skills every day in the bright sun. It was a good exercise." Tang Jili laughed and told the story about Chu Xuan that he had learned from Wang Jinhua.
"That's good." Chenglong nodded and called the family to sit down: "Sit down, sit down, there are just the five of us, and we didn't ask anyone else to come. It's hard for your family to come to Xiangjiang, but don't blame me for not treating you well.
"
"Brother, you're welcome. Having you and Director Tang here is the greatest honor for us." Liu Xiaoli said, sitting down with Chu Xuan and Qian Qian.
"Come, eat, you must be hungry too." Tang Jili said, the food was already on the table, the wine was poured, and they were waiting for this family to arrive.
The family left for the airport in the morning and had something to eat while waiting for the flight. After flying to Xiangjiang and then to the hotel, they were really hungry all the way.
Chu Xuan raised his red wine glass: "Thank you, brother and Director Tang, for your hospitality."
Everyone raised their glasses together and took a sip.
"Director Tang, don't you have to audition today?" Liu Yifei asked. The two bosses of the crew were entertaining them here, and she was curious about the situation there.
"The audition for the small role will be handled by the casting director arranged by Ying Huang." Tang Jili said while picking up some vegetables.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded in understanding.
Except for the two of them and Cheng Long as the leading actors, the rest of the roles are handled by Ying Huang. This is the rule that has been set in the cooperation.
In the end, important roles still need to be checked by Tang Jili and Chenglong to prevent British and Huang actors from entering. This is also the premise of this regulation.
But for small roles that have little impact on the movie, Tang Jili and Chenglong gave up the casting rights completely to Ying Huang for the sake of human sophistication.
This is Cheng Long's movie, and it has the chance to be released overseas. The value of a small role is estimated to be high, and Ying Huang will definitely get a lot of benefits.
"Finally you are here." Chenglong picked up the wine glass and said: "Get ready for this month. Have you read the script? There are a lot of action scenes, and some stunts need to be practiced carefully."
"Okay." Chu Xuan picked up the wine glass.
"This is necessary." Liu Yifei said while holding the wine glass.
"As long as you can endure the hardship, you will definitely be able to complete the actions that Old Tang and I have designed for you. Work hard, I believe you can do it," Chenglong said.
When he worked with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei on "New Police Story", he was very satisfied with Chu Xuan's professionalism.
He also heard from Tang Ji that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei never used stunt doubles when filming, and Liu Yifei did all her Wia scenes by herself, which he admired very much.
In the movie "At the Gate", Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are the male and female protagonists, and the action scenes can be said to be from beginning to end. To make the audience enjoy watching, the actions must be cool and handsome, and the corresponding difficulty is very high.
Based on his and Tang Jili's understanding of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, they also believed that the two of them would not hold back and would work conscientiously and diligently to complete each scene.
