"Come on, let's raise a toast to the birthday boy today!"
In a private room of Dai's Restaurant, there were more than a dozen people sitting, including men and women, some middle-aged people in their forties, and some young people in their teens!
However, looking at their red faces, they had obviously drunk a lot of wine. The person who just spoke was the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the table.
And the birthday boy he was talking about was a girl sitting not far from him. She had long flowing hair and a fairy spirit. If ordinary people outside saw her, they would definitely scream and go crazy.
Because this girl is none other than Liu Yifei, the heroine of the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" which was broadcast on the TV station at the beginning of this year and caused a huge sensation...
Not only that, last year the casting of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", in which Zhang Dahu was the chief producer, became known throughout the country. Liu Yifei was the obvious choice as the little dragon girl. Unlike the controversy surrounding the male lead, her selection can be said to be
greatly awaited!
However, there was no real joyful smile on Liu Yifei's face at this time. If the people in the private room were still awake, they would definitely be able to tell that she was forcing a smile.
Sitting next to Liu Yifei is her mother Liu Xiaoli.
Liu Xiaoli naturally noticed what Liu Yifei was thinking, and gently patted the back of her daughter's hand under the table, and said with a smile: "Producer Chen, our Sissy is still young, so I drank this wine for her.
Bar!"
Producer Chen had a confused smile on his red face: "Sister Li, you can't say this. In our industry, how can you do it if you don't know how to drink? Look, everyone sitting here is from our industry.
Boss, ask Sissi to toast everyone, so that we can develop better in the industry in the future, right?"
Others also spoke up: "Yes, Sister Li, although Sissi is so popular now, the industry is changing so fast. Maybe someone new will emerge tomorrow to replace Sissi's position in the industry.
!”
Everyone spoke up one after another, causing Liu Yifei, who was sitting there, to show a hint of impatience on his face. Then he excused himself to go to the toilet and walked out of the private room.
"Haha, as expected, I have become famous and my temper has gotten louder. I haven't even entered the film industry yet. If I entered the film industry, we people who make TV series would not be taken seriously!" Someone started to say something weird.
what.
"Old Liu, haven't you Bona Pictures made some big moves recently? Originally, I wanted Miss Liu to have a drink with you and let you connect with me, but it seems that I don't need this favor now!
"
"Brother Liu's company, Bona Pictures, is really powerful. It has only been established for four or five years, but it has already established relationships with Fengge Media in Hong Kong and Phantom Media in North America. It has produced some good movies in the past two years.
The box office is even more impressive, last year there were two Bona Pictures movies in the top ten domestic box office!"
"That's why I said that there is no talent in the country. In the 1980s and 1990s, the largest film and television company in the country was Tangting Culture. In the past two years, Tangting Culture has produced fewer and fewer films. Instead, some new domestic films have been produced.
Movie companies are starting to pop up."
Everyone was chatting about the current gossip in the domestic film and television industry. Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting aside, apologized and said she was going to see Liu Yifei, and then walked out of the private room.
After coming to the bathroom, I saw Liu Yifei standing there boredly texting.
"Mom, when will things end here? They are still waiting for me over there!" Liu Yifei said coquettishly after seeing Liu Xiaoli.
Liu Xiaoli said dissatisfied: "I asked you to join your Qi Ye (Qi Ye means foster father, everyone knows about the review~) company, but you insisted on trying to make a career on your own. If you had listened to me,
Is it still used like this now?”
Liu Yifei took Liu Xiaoli's arm and said coquettishly: "Don't I want to prove myself? Besides, I originally promised you that I would come back after finishing college in North America. You have to come back, godmother, then
You don’t even listen to my advice!”
Liu Xiaoli clicked Liu Yifei's forehead and said: "Silly boy, you don't know anything. I'm not thinking about you. Women have to have their own careers no matter what. Moreover, your father Qi said at the beginning that you are a
Good seedling..."
Liu Yifei knew that if Liu Xiaoli continued talking like this, there would be no end, so she quickly interrupted: "Mom, let's finish this quickly. I finally understand that those people are not very capable, but their tone is quite loud."
, as if they have the final say in the domestic entertainment industry!"
Liu Xiaoli nodded and said: "Yes, it was indeed my mistake today. That Producer Chen is just a TV series producer who has only become famous in the past few years. Just when you came out, they actually said that you are Mr. Qi's company."
No way, it’s really ridiculous!”
Liu Yifei also asked curiously: "I have never asked Mr. Qi about this. How come after entering the new millennium, Tangting Culture's self-produced works began to decrease, and the directors under it were also
Were all the actors and actresses sent out?"
Liu Xiaoli said: "I heard your godmother say something. What you, Mr. Qi, seem to mean is that a monopoly of one company is not very beneficial to the development of the domestic film industry. Only when a hundred flowers bloom and compete can the domestic film industry be promoted."
Let’s really prosper!”
"So that's it!" Liu Yifei nodded suddenly.
"Okay, don't think too much about Mr. Qi's affairs. Hurry in, have a few words, and end it as soon as possible!" Liu Xiaoli finally said.
Liu Yifei nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, yes!"
When the mother and daughter returned to the private room, they were still discussing matters in the domestic film industry.
"Let me tell you, our Chinese-language films have now become the second largest film market in the world. There is still some contribution from Tangting Culture, but Tangting Culture is weak in its successors. With Wu Jianye's retirement, there is no
It was only through the collective strength of our domestic filmmakers that we developed the film industry to where it is now!"
"By the way, some time ago Beixue Film Company seemed to have announced that they had invited Hollywood's top star Tom Cruise to join their new film, right?"
"Yes, I still have some relationship with their boss, Mr. Li Xiangbei. Sissy, do you want me to introduce you to him?"
Liu Yifei picked up her tea cup, and Li Duo said with a smile: "Then I'd like to thank Producer Liu first!"
Producer Liu looked at the tea cup in Liu Yifei's hand and said with a smile: "Qian Qian, your thank you is not sincere, you have to use a white one anyway!"
"Brother Liu, I drank this wine for Sissi. After all, this child is not 18 yet!" Liu Xiaoli said quickly from the side.
Producer Liu's face changed and he said: "Sister Li, the child will always grow up. You always protect her like this, she will never grow up!"
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "As a mother, of course I hope that my children will always be as happy as children. Brother Liu must also think about his daughter the same way!"
Producer Liu's expression changed slightly, then he laughed and said, "That's exactly what Sister Li said!"
After speaking, Producer Liu just took a sip of the white wine in his glass and put down his glass. The atmosphere at the wine table became a little awkward because Liu Yifei didn't drink.
Seeing this, someone quickly said: "We have almost eaten. I think we will have the next show. I have already reserved a seat in the eighth space. After several renovations in the eighth space in the past few years, the environment is still the same."
Very good!”
When the others heard this, they also nodded.
Then he stood up and left. It can be seen from the group of people leaving that the two people at the core of this banquet were the previous producer Chen and the other just the producer Liu.
The crowd surrounded the two people and walked out of Dai's Restaurant. No one was checking out at the bar. Liu Xiaoli took one look at the situation and had to ask the waiter at the bar: "How much?"
Liu Yifei took out a black card with gold edges from her bag and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll do it."
After speaking, he handed the black card to the waiter.
When the waiter saw the black card, he also showed a shocked expression. Since its establishment, Dai's Restaurant has become a famous high-end restaurant chain in the country. It has its own branches all over the country. Last year, Dai's was ranked among the unicorn companies in the country.
The restaurant’s valuation is RMB 10.3 billion!
They have also launched their own membership system, but this waiter has been working here for several years. He has seen a lot of platinum cards, gold cards, and silver cards, but this is the first time he has seen a black card like this that can waive the bill.
.
"Ms. Liu, I'm sorry, we have to check the customer information first!" the waiter said quickly.
Liu Yifei nodded.
After a few dozen seconds, the waiter handed the black card to Liu Yifei with both hands and said: "Welcome Miss Liu to visit us next time!"
The two mothers and daughters walked out of the restaurant, and Liu Xiaoli asked: "This black card?"
"Snatched it from Yiyi!" Liu Yifei said happily.
Liu Xiaoli asked no more questions.
"Sister Li, let's go. Xiao Zhao has already booked a private room in the Eighth Space, and several big guys from the industry will come soon, just in time to introduce some resources to Sissi!" Producer Liu said with a smile.
At that time, he was already a little shaken by drinking. After finishing speaking, he came over and put his arms around Liu Yifei's waist.
Liu Yifei's expression changed, and she avoided Producer Liu's hand and said: "Producer Liu, I'm sorry, I have something else to do tonight, so I won't be with you!"
Producer Liu opened his mouth, glanced at Liu Yifei dissatisfied, and said, "Didn't your mother tell you about Beixue Film Company just now?"
Liu Yifei glanced at Liu Xiaoli doubtfully.
Liu Xiaoli then whispered to Liu Yifei what had just happened.
Producer Liu said with a proud smile: "Sissi, now you know the importance of connections, as long as you follow us to the Eighth Space today, I will arrange for you to meet Tom Cruise in the next two days!
"
Liu Yifei smiled and shook her head and said: "Thank you, Producer Liu, but I'll forget about it. I still have some friendship with Tom. When he comes to Yanjing, I will call him myself!"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed after hearing this, obviously not believing Liu Yifei's words.
"Sissi, it's not a good thing to be so vain at such a young age. Although Tom Cruise will often come to China to film movies in the past few years, it's not like anyone can get to know him if he wants to!"
Squeak!
With a sound, a 2002 Tesla T3 stopped in front of everyone, and a young man wearing a T-shirt and jeans walked out, walked straight to Liu Yifei, and first said hello to Liu Xiaoli: "Aunt Liu!
"
After Liu Xiaoli saw him, a smile appeared on her face and she said, "It's Yiyi, why did you run over here?"
The person who came was none other than Wu Nianyi!
At this time, Wu Nianyi was already an eighteen-year-old boy. He had perfectly inherited the advantages of Wu Jianye and Zhu Jia. He was 180cm tall and his handsome appearance was comparable to that of the so-called young stars nowadays.
.
Wu Nianyi said helplessly: "Xinxin and Ling'er are not the only ones who want to make me look good if they don't take Sissy over. What can I do?"
Ever since he was young, Wu Nianyi has always been unable to do anything about these girls.
Then Wu Nianyi said to Liu Yifei: "Okay, eldest lady, let's go. If you don't go, they will have to eat me!"
Liu Yifei then showed a bright smile and said: "I know."
Then he said to Producer Chen and Producer Liu: "Producer Chen, Producer Liu, I'm really sorry, my friend came to pick me up, so I won't go to the karaoke bar!"
Producer Liu's face looked a little ugly and said: "Sissi, you have to think about it. It's okay for young people to have friends of their own, but you are now one of the most famous actresses in the country. With someone like this
When young people are together, it is easy to cause scandals, and a young man driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is not worthy of your status!"
Tesla T3 is a civilian car with a market price of only over 120,000!
Without waiting for Liu Yifei to reply, Wu Nian glanced at the so-called Producer Liu. He had nothing to do with girls like Wu Luoxin, Liu Yifei, and Zhao Ling'er, but that didn't mean that he would spoil others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the title of Demon King when he was a child.
.
"Who are you? You're pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here. What's wrong with me driving T3? It's none of your business!"
"You..." Producer Liu's expression changed again. He didn't expect this young man to be so arrogant. He hadn't heard anyone talk to him like that for a while!
"Liu Xiaoli, is this young man who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth a friend of yours, Sissi? Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, Liu Yifei will never be able to enter the film industry in the future!"
Producer Chen, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Today's young people really have no quality at all. Sister Li, Sissi's future is very bright now. Regarding Sissy's private life, you have to manage it well.
Otherwise, if all the cats and dogs come here, it will affect Sissi’s future!”
Wu Nian kept shouting: "What are you doing? You are in your forties and you can't even speak human words clearly. I really wonder if you have grown up eating straw these years!"
"you!"
That’s it, the two most powerful people on this occasion were mercilessly sprayed by Wu Nianyi!
"Humph, Liu Xiaoli, I can tell you right now, your Liu Yifei will never want to meet Tom Cruise!" Producer Liu tried hard to maintain his demeanor.
"Haha!" Wu Nianyi chuckled, looked at Liu Yifei, with a playful expression on his face, and said, "You just eat with these idiots just to see Tom?"
Liu Yifei showed a helpless smile and said: "No, it's just that they just took the initiative to introduce Tom to me!"
"How funny!" Wu Nianyi said disdainfully, then took Liu Yifei's hand and left the scene.
