When Chen Feng heard about this, he realized that his boss had neglected his duty. He had asked them not to bring anyone here, and he also said that nothing would happen if he took care of them.
As a result, nothing happened to Li Yixue and Li Dazhi now, but he didn't take much care of them either.
However, he was the boss after all, so he could not take the initiative to admit his mistakes. He just said to Li Yixue: "Will you finish filming tomorrow? Then your performance is really good. I thought it would take at least two or three days for you to finish filming. You are like this
The performance was very good.”
Hearing Chen Feng's praise, Li Yixue felt better. Chen Feng rarely praised others, so it was really rare to get his praise this time.
"Thank you. As I said just now, the reason why the filming went so smoothly this time was mainly due to the care of directors Landa and Marcia. Otherwise, it might really take two more days of filming."
"Well. Although you don't have many roles in this drama, if it is filmed well, it will help to increase your reputation around the world."
"Yeah, I know. So, I put in 100% of my efforts during this filming."
"It's good that you know. Don't underestimate your small role this time. If you play it well, you can also excel. This is equivalent to a stepping stone for you in Hollywood. As long as you have a good start, you will be successful in Hollywood in the future.
The development here will get better and better. Of course, you don’t have to be too anxious to take the international route. Your main career focus now should be on the country, and you can’t be too ambitious."
"Well, boss, you have the final say, and I will listen to you."
Li Yixue seemed very obedient. In fact, it was okay for her to be disobedient. Of course, it was impossible for her to disobey the boss Chen Feng. She knew very well what the boss Chen Feng had given her.
Nowadays, she has been recognized as the first of the four domestic actresses. Her popularity and net worth have soared, and her number of fans has more than doubled. Now she is able to be directed by a world-class director like Marcia.
Playing a role in a movie, even if it's just a small supporting role, is an opportunity that countless actors in China can only dream of.
She knew very well that all this was given to her by the boss Chen Feng. Therefore, even if she was dissatisfied with the boss Chen Feng, it could not shake her determination to cling to his golden thigh.
"Okay. Just make sure you know what's going on. I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow. I'll also book your plane ticket. By the way, do you plan to stay here for a day or two or go back right away?"
Li Yixue said helplessly: "I have to go back immediately, tomorrow night at the latest. I have already backlogged a lot of announcements in China, including an endorsement advertisement worth 50 million. I can't keep putting it off like this."
"Oh, is that the shampoo commercial?"
"Yes."
"Fifty million in two years is a bit low. However, you haven't completely stabilized your reputation in China yet. You are still a little short of becoming a first-line star. You have to keep up your efforts."
Chen Feng's words are not without purpose. Although Li Yixue became famous this time because of Huang Rong in "The Condor", her popularity began to slowly decline after a burst of noise. Although the speed is very slow, it is true that
It is declining. The reason is very simple. Li Yixue did not release a popular work immediately. If she can take advantage of the situation and release a hit album or something, her popularity may be stable. It is a pity that she is not very interested in singing now, Chen
Feng has not thought about letting her develop in the music industry for the time being. This matter has been delayed like this.
This also leads to the fact that her price for some brand endorsements is not very high, especially those traditional brands.
Originally, based on the popularity of her role as Huang Rong, she could have risen to the ranks of super-A-list stars, but without the blessing of a second popular work, she was still a little behind. Specifically reflected in the endorsement fees for product endorsements compared to
For super A-list celebrities, it's still a little bit behind.
Of course Li Yixue herself knew this, and she was not angry at Chen Feng's comments. She just said: "So, boss, I need your help and give me more resources, so that I can take advantage of this year's relatively strong momentum to make another breakthrough."
We will try our best to reach the top line before the end of the year."
Chen Feng said: "It's only one month before the Spring Festival. How is it possible for you to reach the top within one month? I asked you before if you had any ideas for an album, and you said no. Otherwise, I would have done it a month in advance.
If you release a music album in two months, it might already be top-notch by then."
"I know that too. But I really don't have any good songs in my hand now. In the past two or three years, I haven't had any good inspiration in music creation. I don't like singing songs written by others, so I just keep singing like this.
The fish is down.”
This was the main reason why Chen Feng failed to release a music album for her before. Even if Chen Feng was willing to "tailor-make" a few songs for her, she was unwilling. What could Chen Feng do?
"You are a bit stubborn in this regard. Can't singer-songwriters sing songs written by others? No one stipulates this. If all singers think like you, there will be no truly good singers in this music world.
.”
Li Yixue smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, this is my obsession and persistence. Please be considerate of me."
"Okay. Let's not talk about it. The Spring Festival is only a month away. If you want to get ahead of the curve, the only chance is the Spring Festival Gala. If you can go up to sing a song, perform a show or something during the Spring Festival Gala
, if you can impress people, maybe you can reach the top line."
"The boss is worthy of being a boss. He thought of this method all at once. That's true. But it's just over a month before the Spring Festival Gala. Is it still too late? I heard that the Spring Festival Gala crew's program should have been finalized by this time.
Already."
"It all depends on people. In the second half of this year, you Huang Rong deserve to be the most popular king in our entertainment industry. Logically speaking, you should be invited to the Spring Festival Gala. I haven't received the invitation yet. Either someone is blocking it, or it's the crew.
Bian hasn't sent you an invitation yet. I asked Su Qian to go to PR and try to get you to attend the Spring Festival Gala with Jiang Xiaobai. Guo Jing and Huang Rong attending the Spring Festival Gala together will be a gimmick for this year's Spring Festival Gala, don't you think?
"
"Are you with Xiaobai? I think... He is still a little bit shy. If I go to the Spring Festival Gala with you, I think the Spring Festival Gala program team will have no problem. They will definitely be able to attend it for us. Let's go up and sing together.
The song "You're Always the Best in the World" is very suitable for the occasion."
"It's impossible for me to go to the Spring Festival Gala. If I wanted to go to the Spring Festival Gala, I would have gone a long time ago. The program team of last year's Spring Festival Gala invited me to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but I refused."
"Ah, why? Wouldn't it be nice to go to the Spring Festival Gala?" Li Yixue asked in surprise.
Chen Feng said in a very pretentious manner: "I find it troublesome."
Li Yixue: "..."
"Okay. This time I will ask Su Qian to try to let you and Jiang Xiaobai attend the Spring Festival Gala together. There should be enough time. After you go back, communicate with Su Qian and Jiang Xiaobai."
"Yeah. I understand."
"That's it. You finish filming the remaining scenes tomorrow. I'll have someone come over tomorrow morning and pick you up when you finish filming. You don't have to worry."
"Okay, boss."
"See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow……"
Before Li Yixue could finish speaking, Chen Feng had already hung up the phone. This made her feel angry again.
Chen Feng was in a hurry to write the script. When he was in the middle of writing, he was suddenly interrupted by Li Yixue, which was very unpleasant.
In the evening, even his routine phone call with Miranda was shortened.
As a result, when Miranda called, the call lasted about the same time as before and was not shortened. The reason was that Miranda said that she suddenly received a call from Chen Feng's mother Zhao Xiaolan at noon today.
The content of the phone call was very simple, just asking about her recent situation. I heard that she was filming, and Zhao Xiaolan also told her to pay attention to safety outside.
Zhao Xiaolan didn’t know English, and Miranda didn’t know Tang dialect. On this call, Zhao Xiaolan had a translator relay the call.
Zhao Xiaolan's call made Miranda confused and a little worried. Even if Miranda reacted slowly, she could tell that Zhao Xiaolan, Chen Feng's mother, didn't like her very much. In addition, she also realized that Zhao Xiaolan was here.
Mei Jianguo has been with her for so long, and she has not even played with her for a day, and it seems that nothing can be said. In addition, she has not taken the initiative to call Zhao Xiaolan, which seems to be a little inappropriate.
Especially this time, Zhao Xiaolan, an elder, called her in turn, making her even more aware of her rudeness on this issue.
Moreover, during Zhao Xiaolan's call with her this time, she felt that some of the content was not conveyed clearly because of the translation. Therefore, Miranda wanted Chen Feng to go to Zhao Xiaolan to inquire about the news and ask Zhao Xiaolan what the mother really thought.
.
Regarding matters related to the relationship between "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", no matter how busy Chen Feng was, he could only listen and follow Miranda to find a solution.
Of course, Chen Feng knows his mother's true thoughts better than Miranda. The purpose is to get him to get rid of Miranda and then get along with Beyoncé. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Beyoncé poured into his mother. Anyway,
Elaine Chao is now very satisfied with Beyoncé and doesn’t care about her skin color at all.
To be honest, this makes Chen Feng feel very magical. Chen Feng can be sure that the main reason why Elaine Chao fell in love with Beyoncé was not because she gave birth to a granddaughter, but that Ella Chao probably saw dignity and virtuousness in her.
due to various advantages.
To be honest, Beyoncé is a few steps ahead of Miranda when it comes to her personality, mainly in how she treats people.
I’m afraid of comparisons in everything. In this comparison, Miranda really has a lot of shortcomings in being reluctant to Beyoncé. In addition, she has already given birth to a child with her own son. As a relatively traditional older generation in China, Zhao Elaine naturally prefers Beyoncé.
Onse, the possible future daughter-in-law.
As for why Zhao Xiaolan took the initiative to call Miranda this time, Chen Feng couldn't figure out the specific reason. During the call with Miranda, the two of them pondered and discussed each other for more than half an hour, but there was no definite result.
Finally, at Miranda's request, Chen Feng was asked to ask Elaine Chao personally.
Chen Feng was also curious, so he hung up Miranda's phone first, and then called his mother, who turned off the phone. Look at the time now, it's 10:30 pm. It's really 10:30 pm here in Los Angeles
Not counting Taiwan, after all, the sun doesn't set until eight o'clock. In Datang, it's probably around eight-thirty in the evening. At this time, most people can't have fallen asleep.
But Zhao Xiaolan may have turned off her phone early because she had to take care of her children. Or her phone may have run out of battery.
After waiting for a few minutes, he called again, but the message still prompted him to shut down his phone. This made Chen Feng certain that the call would be unreachable tonight.
So, Chen Feng called Miranda who was waiting and told her. She had no choice but to ask Chen Feng to contact Zhao Xiaolan tomorrow, and then call her at noon tomorrow to inform her of the result.
So, not long after Chen Feng got up the next morning, he gave his mother a call, and this time the call was connected.
But before Chen Feng opened his mouth, Zhao Xiaolan shouted angrily and asked: "You are such a big boss, why are you free to call me today?"
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed. He hadn't contacted her much in the past few days. However, he was able to adjust his mentality quickly and said with a smile: "Mom, I've been busy these days, so I haven't contacted her much.
However, I know that nothing will happen to you at Beyoncé’s house, and it’s not like I don’t care about you.”
"Huh! Let me forget it. You won't even forget that your daughter is here. How long has it been and you haven't come to see her? How did you become a father?"
This is really... indistinguishable. In his heart, he says that it is impossible not to have this child, but it is nonsense to say that he loves and cares about the child now. After all, this child is completely a child to him.
Accident.
"Mom, I really have a lot of things these days, so I didn't go over to see the kids and you. After I've been busy for a while, I'll go see you. How do you think tomorrow will go?"
Zhao Xiaolan said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Come over today. Let's have a meal together at noon and talk to you about something by the way."
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "What's the matter? Can't we talk on the phone?"
"I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone. Just come over at noon." Zhao Xiaolan said impatiently.
"Okay, okay, then I'll be there at noon."
After all, she was his mother. Seeing that she was a little angry, Chen Feng couldn't resist her. He could only go along with her.
It's just that Chen Feng is a little nervous in his heart. It always feels like it's not a good thing. However, I guess it's not about letting him break up with Miranda. She has already persuaded him before and knows Chen Feng's attitude, so she won't be solemn about it again.
Mentioning the matter.
But apart from this matter, what else could happen? Chen Feng became entangled in his heart.
After Zhao Xiaolan agreed with Chen Feng, she immediately hung up the phone.
Chen Feng was so distracted by his mother and Miranda that he had no intention of continuing to write the script for "Game of Thrones" all morning, and he didn't have to wait until noon. At half past ten, he went out.
