Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 258 The amount of Qian begins to rise

December 12, Beijing International Airport.

Liu Xiaoli saw from a distance Liu Yifei wearing a black down jacket and a baseball cap, walking towards her.

If he wasn't wearing sunglasses in addition to the mask, covering his face more tightly than others, how could he look like an artist?

Not only did he not have any bodyguards, but the only person following him was his assistant named Li Jing.

Li Jing, a graduate from a prestigious university, is still unmarried in her 30s. She is fluent in Chinese, Japanese and English. She is very smart and capable in both her personal and professional life.

Liu Xiaoli knew that Huanxin Company offered her a seven-digit annual salary to be Xixi's personal assistant, not including the year-end bonus. They must have valued Liu Yifei very much to do so.

However, Liu Xiaoli has never been able to get used to the other party.

The reason is, just like now.

As soon as she got in the car, Li Jing said with a smile: "Auntie, there's really no need to bother you to come pick us up in person. Didn't the company assign us a special car and a driver this year? President Qi said that we can use it at will, whether it's for private trips or official business. I can take Yifei home directly."

This is what makes Liu Xiaoli unhappy. In front of her as a mother, she always mentions the company and Mr. Qi, making her precious daughter seem as if she has really become a member of the new company.

This is really unreasonable.

Fortunately, Li Jing rarely mentioned Chen Nuo, which made her barely tolerate it.

There was a time before when Liu Xiaoli was actually somewhat satisfied with Chen Nuo. She even thought about bringing him and her daughter together.

But ever since Twilight was released and became a huge hit, she had completely given up on that idea.

The reason.
At that time in Tokyo, when Chen Nuo was negotiating the contract with Robert, Will and others from Summit Entertainment, Liu Xiaoli heard it clearly.

In these few days, Liu Xiaoli didn't know how many times she had calculated it with a calculator.

At first she just wanted to know how much 3% of $15 million would be after deducting taxes?

After a few days, she started to calculate 4 million.

When she went out today, she started counting 5 million.

Because I read in the newspaper that Twilight's North American box office is approaching 3 million US dollars, and it is almost certain that the global box office will exceed 5 million US dollars.

So, when Liu Xiaoli saw the number calculated on the calculator, she was stunned for a long time even though she had seen a lot of things and knew some famous people who had been on the Forbes list.

She knew very well how easy it was for Chen Nuo to make money.

The contract only signed for two months, and I heard from Xixi that in the end Chen Nuo only took more than a month to finish filming.

As a result, as of now, this movie can earn him 4000 million US dollars after tax, which is equivalent to more than 3 million yuan in RMB?

Now is an economic crisis!

The whole world is in mourning and in a state of despair.

Earned more than 3 million in just over a month! ?

Ha ha.

Liu Xiaoli felt that it was not possible for her to have such a man as her son-in-law. She was not strong enough and did not have such blessing.

She was afraid that once she entered her house, one day she would be buried in a pit dug by her good son-in-law with a smile, just like those foreigners.

Maybe one morning I was a little grumpy when I woke up and called his name a little loudly, so I might be forced to drink a bowl of medicine that evening.

Liu Xiaoli feels that she is only in her 40s and has not lived enough and has not yet had a grandchild.

So, she recently began to feel that Liu Yifei's future husband might not need a big career.

The key is actually to be a good person, simple and not too scheming.

Also, you must be filial.

This is the most important.

"It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway." Liu Xiaoli responded indifferently after hearing what Li Jing said.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Then I'll drive, Auntie, you chat with Feifei."

Liu Xiaoli was not polite either, "Okay, thank you for your help."

I exchanged seats with Li Jing and sat in the back seat of the Land Rover Discovery that she had just bought in China.

Liu Xiaoli immediately asked the questions that she had been worried about for a long time, "Xixi, why are you so anxious? Didn't you just attend the Golden Horse Awards last night? Why did you come back alone?"

"I saw on the news today that Chen Nuo, Fan Binbing and the others went to Hong Kong to watch the show. Why didn't you go? Didn't they invite you?"

Before Liu Yifei could say anything, Li Jing, who was fastening her seat belt in the front, laughed and said, "Auntie, how is that possible? The relationship between Mr. Chen and Feifei is really unusual. You think too much."

Liu Xiaoli ignored the lackey and asked Liu Yifei directly: "Xixi, is it true?"

Liu Yifei hummed and said, "I was called, but I don't want to go."

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoli observed Liu Yifei's expression, "Are you unhappy about not winning the award? Xixi, you are still young, don't be anxious, we were not like that before..."

"No, Mom, that's not it." Liu Yifei interrupted, "I'm really happy for Sister Binbing for winning the award this time. It's just that I have other things to do and I have to come back."

Liu Xiaoli asked, "What's the matter? Wait a minute, we have agreed this time that you have to come back for at least half a year. Please don't tell me that Tanzania is short of people and you are going there again."

Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "No. Mom, I will probably stay for a long time this time."

Liu Xiaoli immediately patted her chest, feeling relieved, and said, "That's good, don't scare me. Well, this time you stay in China peacefully, let your company help you run things, shoot more movies, and get more good endorsements."

"Especially in Japan, the popularity has finally risen, and we can't let it fall again. I think an endorsement of Sony electronics is not enough, and I will try to get another endorsement from Panasonic or Mitsubishi."

Li Jing then interrupted and said, "Panasonic did approach us. But Mr. Qi felt that the conditions offered were not good enough, so he did not let us sign. We are still negotiating. But the SK II issue has almost been negotiated."

Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up immediately. "SKII? Have you negotiated? Oh, how is it going? Are you going to be the spokesperson for Japan or Asia?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Of course it's the Asia spokesperson, Auntie."

Liu Xiaoli smiled brightly, "Asia. The last brand ambassador they signed for Asia was Zhou Xun."

"Yes, that's right. But the contract we signed this time is very long and the terms are very good. It can be said that they are very optimistic about Feifei's future. In another two years, maybe it can be upgraded to a global endorsement."

"Not only that, several big Chinese and Japanese brands have also contacted the company recently, and President Qi is negotiating terms with them."

Li Jing not only drove steadily, but also spoke fluently. Every word she said made Liu Xiaoli feel refreshed. "Good, good, good." After listening to her, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but say three good words in a row.

"Jing, go back and thank Mr. Qi and Mr. Chen for me. Thank them for taking care of Xixi."

"Xixi's potential is definitely huge. Look, hasn't it been proven by facts now? She can make a name for herself not only in China, but also in Japan. Those people on the Internet are talking nonsense!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoli really felt that the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for many years was finally released.

Who says Liu Yifei can't be successful outside of China?! A few years ago, she was so angry at the sarcastic comments in newspapers and on the Internet that she didn't have a good meal for several days.

Li Jing said with a smile: "Auntie, now people on the Internet are all praising us. If there is some negative news occasionally, President Qi will ask people to deal with it immediately. The group of Internet trolls our company has are not a joke."

It was still "Boss Qi" and "Company", but Liu Xiaoli actually found it quite pleasing to the ear and said with a smile, "That's good. Hey, Jing, does our Xixi have any new dramas to shoot this year? How has Boss Qi and the others arranged it?"

Li Jing said: "Yes, Auntie, first of all, we have to build a country in a few days."

Liu Xiaoli was surprised and asked, "What is Mr. Han Sanping filming recently?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, you know that we have a very good relationship with China Film. This time, President Han has gathered a group to make a movie, and President Chen wants us to fully cooperate. So not only Yifei, but all the artists and directors in the company will make cameo appearances. But there is no money, it is a pure friendly performance. Haha, it can be regarded as a favor from President Chen to China Film."

Liu Xiaoli doesn't care about money because she knows what the movie Founding of a Republic is about, and she is more concerned about another aspect.

"Have you decided on the role? Do you have any lines?"

"Of course there are lines, and the role is that of a female reporter. I'm in the same role group as Zhang Ziyi, and I'll be joining the crew to start filming soon. But it won't delay anything, and I estimate we can finish filming in one day."

Liu Xiaoli was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She patted Liu Yifei's hand and said, "So you came back for this, right? Why don't you tell mom?"

Liu Yifei didn't say anything the whole time. She just looked out the car window, giving people the impression that her mind was not here at all.

After hearing what Liu Xiaoli said, she turned around and said, "Mom, no. We didn't go to shoot Mr. Han's play until the 15th. I came back this time to have an audition with Director Zhang tomorrow."

Liu Xiaoli was surprised. "You still want to audition? Which Director Zhang?"

"Director Zhang Yimou."

In the second half of 2008, almost every day was restless for female students in art schools across China.

From Beijing to Shanghai, from Nanjing to Chengdu, from Guangzhou to Jinan, all art schools, big or small, that have performance-related majors have been circulating a piece of news that sounds very unreliable at first glance since October.

A new drama directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Chen Nuo is currently looking for a female lead among major universities.

When this news first started circulating, no one believed it.

Because it's too outrageous.

It can be said that outrageous mother opened the door for outrageousness, outrageous as hell.

Who was the most popular director in China in 2008?

Zhang Yimou.

Who was the most popular actor in China in 2008?
Chen Nuo.

These two answers were so indisputable in 2008 that they were like two steel nails hammered into a wooden board by a nail gun, with no gap left for any other option to exist.

Zhang Yimou's fame comes from the fact that he made the Chinese people proud in front of the whole world.

Chen Nuo's fame comes from the fact that he made Asian actors proud in front of the whole world.

At the same time, he also produced the highest-grossing movie in Chinese history, which overturned the ship that had been sailing for more than ten years.

It is almost impossible to find directors and actors more popular than these two in China, or even in Asia this year.

So what do these two people mean to the 17 or 18-year-old female college students who have not yet graduated from art schools?

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a legend or myth.

What does it mean to be the leading female role partner with Chen Nuo in Director Zhang's new play?

It means that when Sun Wukong was worshipping Patriarch Bodhi as his master, he suddenly found a bald man kneeling next to him, that is you. Then, I don’t know if you look good without hair on your head, but you caught the eye of the Great Sage, so he said to the Patriarch, "Master, why don’t you take him in as well? He will be my junior apprentice."

Or, from a female perspective, after Monkey King made a big fuss in heaven and was conferred the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Victorious Buddha, he came back on a colorful cloud and would marry you, a plain-looking village woman who might even have a big black mole on the corner of her mouth, and would also take you to the Wuzhuang Temple to meet the earthly immortal who would feed you a ginseng fruit.

From now on, you will jump out of the Three Realms and be no longer within the Five Elements.

What are the big flowers and small flowers from the next village, and the sweet girls from heaven on earth, who are they?

A genuine celestial being is here, who dares to act rashly?

Such a fantasy appears in the mind of almost every girl who wants to venture into the entertainment industry.

Apart from those random fantasies, from the most realistic and utilitarian perspective,
Who are the actresses in "Mou Girls"? Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.

Who are the actresses who have played opposite Chen Nuo? Well, it seems that there is only one Cannes Film Festival winner.

The rest is just so-so.

So why can't it be me this time?

Yeah, why can't it be me?
Yuan Shanshan asked herself this question more than eight hundred times. She believed that Yang Mi felt the same way, including Wang Meng, Duanmu, and even all the girls in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy in 05. Who didn't think so?
Otherwise, why would everyone, who are already seniors in college and should be showing off their talents, return to the small world of school and waste an actress's most precious 20-something years?
Isn’t it because of the rumor that director Zhang Yimou’s people will come to Beijing Film Academy to select people in the next two days?
"Shanshan, are you sure it's these two days?"

Yang Mi was the last to come back, having just arrived at school the day before yesterday.

Because she is actually still filming in Hengdian, and she is playing the leading female role in a costume drama!
As soon as the news came out, I asked for three days off from the crew and returned to school. After waiting for two days, I had to go back to Hengdian tomorrow, but there was still no news, which made me extremely anxious.

Yuan Shanshan looked up at the sky and said nonchalantly, "I'm not sure."

Yang Mi was furious for a moment.

Indeed, she had only heard Zhang Xiaofei talk about this on the Internet. It had nothing to do with Yuan Shanshan.

However, seeing that her roommate clearly regarded her as a competitor, she couldn't help but said angrily, "Are you afraid that I will compete with you for the leading role?"

Yuan Shanshan nodded openly and said, "That's right! You've already played the leading female role, and you're still trying to snatch it from us. Do you really need to do that?"

Yang Mi suddenly choked up and laughed angrily, "How can this be the same?"

ps: The amount of Qian in these chapters is probably a bit high. If you can't stand it, go and take a breath of oxygen.
