Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 315 Scenery
It was a little after eight in the morning, and the room wasn't very dark.

Even when the lights are off, it doesn't affect visibility much.

Liu Jing even saw that, in his panic, the little lion's towel slipped down to his waist.

He suddenly felt a pang of heartache; his eyesight was too good, and several bruises came into view.

I didn't black out last night, but under the influence of alcohol, my outburst was still emotional.

Sisi's eyesight was also good, and she said with a wistful expression, "Liu Shishi, keep my little light bulb company."

When it comes to the light bulb, she only feels slightly superior in front of the little lion.

After being trained by her younger brother for more than half a year, she has also upgraded her skills. She used to put ten in a cage, but now she puts seven in a cage.

She was even secretly pleased, as Tang Yan and Liu Shishi were the worst off.

Xixi wasn't surprised that Liu Shishi wasn't playing the woman in yellow.

She was quite surprised when the other party snatched the role of the woman in yellow. How could they be so desperate as to play a role I'd already played? They're determined to go down this path to the bitter end.

"The People's Congress is about to convene, and power lines in several areas of Yandu will be under maintenance. Your light bulb isn't broken, it's just a power outage, nothing to be alarmed about."

As a long-time resident of Yandu, Xiao Shizi frequently pays attention to notices from the neighborhood committee and the street office, especially regarding water and power outages, and always makes preparations in advance.

She has lived like this since she was a child, but Sisi doesn't have this awareness.

In Sisi's opinion, if the water and electricity are cut off here, I'll go stay over there. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and we have multiple places to live.

"The milk isn't hot anymore, you can drink it cold." Sisi took a few cartons of milk, along with some toasted bread and fried eggs—that was her breakfast.

"Senior brother, are you listening?" The little lion snorted. Senior brother is trying to play dumb again. I'm not going to let you have your way.

Liu Yifei is giving me a hard time, and I can't do anything about it for now, so I'll take it out on you.

“The lights are all off, so of course Zhou Zhiruo will give them to you,” Qianqian said, laughing out loud.

Her happiness stemmed from two reasons: Liu Jing had just made a vow to the lamp, and then the lamp went out, which meant it was about to come true.

That jerk always boasts that he doesn't interfere with casting, but Liu Shishi has presented him with a difficult problem, and she really wants to see Liu Jing in a dilemma.

Beauty or principles, which would you choose?
Liu Jing sighed. He was indeed pretending to be confused, and if he kept pretending, he could get away with it.

Zhou Zhiruo is played by Yuan Shanshan, and this information has already been announced on the official website.

Replacing the other party isn't difficult, but how can I then claim to be fair and just in front of women?

"Don't talk while eating or sleeping." Liu Jing glared at Qianqian, clearly gloating.

"Shishi, our family rule number one is 'Don't talk while eating or sleeping,' do you remember that?" Qianqian said with a smile.

Liu Shishi, who had been acting like she was about to die, was now standing up straight, which she found quite amusing.

With those photos in hand, the little lion was in her palm.

However, this method depends on the person, and it only worked on Liu Shishi.

Sisi guessed that if Yang Mi were treated like this by her, she probably wouldn't care so much.

Looking at his aloof demeanor, she suddenly felt a surge of desire. He'd drunk too much last night; she'd let him pose in a hundred different positions when he was sober.

As she thought about it, Qianqian smiled and stared straight at Liu Shishi.

The little lion snorted softly, looking a little uncomfortable, and wrapped the towel around itself even tighter.

She silently grumbled, "What kind of bullshit family rules are these? You're the one who talks the most."

This family rule was something she had been taught since childhood. She usually didn't talk much during meals, and with Liu Yifei present, she was even less inclined to speak.

"Sigh!" Liu Jing sighed inexplicably, and the two girls surnamed Liu fell silent.

He sighed, of course. The two, seemingly harmonious, harbored a deep-seated discord in their eyes. Clearly, besides last night's threesome, something else had happened that he was unaware of.

Liu Jing sighed silently, wondering how other people's harems could be so harmonious.

For example, in a certain county, an official's wife raised children for her husband's mistress and also helped him find second and third wives.

For example, a local tycoon built a large manor where his wife, mistress, and children all lived together.

For example, a senior executive of a certain company manages dozens of mistresses in a militaristic manner and is said to frequently promote a "wolf culture".

For example, in a certain country, there is a capitalist family that has illegitimate children and mothers-in-law everywhere.

such as……

"I'm done eating, you guys continue." Sisi wolfed down her food, saying she was full while munching on a banana.

She is always punctual. She had an appointment with Wang Xiaoping in the morning to discuss matters related to "Empresses in the Palace".

With the National Day holiday over, she should get busy again.

These are all minor matters today. Filming for "Painted Skin" will begin on December 5th, and she will be joining the crew for training.

She bought five or six foxes, intending to raise them and observe them daily.

A week later, "The Holy Flame" was released in Japan and South Korea, and she still had to go out to promote it.

Sissi's popularity in Japan and South Korea is definitely among the top three, even among Chinese actresses, including those from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

A Grammy Award is enough to elevate her to god-like status among Japanese and Korean audiences. They always treat artists who achieve success in the United States with special regard.

South Korea went even further, with some claiming that Liu Yifei has Korean ancestry...

Liu Jing has already decided on the promotional themes for Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia: Grammy superstars only fit for bit parts, trillion-dollar female CEOs being humiliated, national goddess returning to the palace for the second time, and Li Lianjie being beaten so badly he dared not join the production team...

All of this promotional material was prepared by Liu Jing. He had also given instructions to Li Lianjie, but not to the others.

If anyone else dared to promote this, Sisi would be more than willing to cooperate; she'd be doing you a favor by not crippling you.

Besides preparing for "Painted Skin" and promoting "The Sacred Flame", Sissi also has another thing to do: establish the Scenic Charity Foundation.

Last year, she wanted to donate her salary from "The Forbidden Kingdom" to the One Foundation, which was truly out of sincerity.

Later, due to Cheng Long's interference, the matter was dropped.

Cheng Long later explained, "I only want to do charity myself. I don't want to rely on others or be morally blackmailed. I have my own charity foundation. I don't solicit donations or beg for alms. All the money is earned by myself."

These words deeply moved Sisi. After traveling around the United States, she suddenly had the idea of ​​establishing a charitable foundation.

Liu Jing, of course, supported it; his intentions weren't as pure as Qianqian's.

On the day the Fengjing Charity Foundation was established, he planned to announce that all of his salary for the film "The Sacred Flame" would be donated to Fengjing Charity, and that for every movie ticket sold for all the films he directed in the future, 0.1 yuan would be donated to Fengjing Charity.

"Drive carefully on the road. It's cloudy today, so bring some warm clothes," Liu Jing instructed.

"I know, I'm not a child anymore." Sisi said impatiently, picked up her bag and walked to the door, then turned back to get her coat.

She didn't care at all whether anything would happen if she left the two of them at home.

It has happened countless times without her knowledge.

The little lion sighed inwardly; her senior brother and Liu Yifei were the normal couple. If Liu Yifei hadn't taken the photos, she might have already broken up with her senior brother.

What you consider commonplace may be something others feel they lack.

Things you take for granted often make others envious.

Liu Shishi came to Baiyujing yesterday not to show off or provoke anyone, but because she really had something to do.

She would certainly support her senior's directorial debut.

On the opening day, she brought her parents and grandparents, who don't usually watch movies, and the whole family went to the cinema to see "The Sacred Flame of Yin and Yang".

On National Day, she took her classmates to watch "Yin Yang Sacred Fire Order" for the second time.

During the holiday, Lao Cai brought Hu Ge and Yuan Hong to Beijing, and she took her colleagues to see the movie three times.

This was Cai Yinong's first time watching. Little Lion was watching Zhang Wuji, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong and other colleagues were watching Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, while Lao Cai was watching the woman in yellow.

The three female leads in "The Sacred Flame Order" had so many scenes, but none of them were as stunning as the woman in yellow who made a brief appearance.

The more stunning Liu Yifei's yellow dress was, the more topics of conversation there were, and the more uncomfortable Liu Shishi felt.

The day before yesterday, she visited Lao Cai's house to announce her withdrawal from the role of the woman in yellow.

Before she could even speak, Lao Cai told Xiao Shizi that he had an idea about how the woman in yellow should make her entrance, and asked Xiao Shizi what she thought.
The little lion fell silent. Wasn't this Liu Yifei's appearance scene in "The Return of the Condor Heroes"? This is making me want to keep following her around!

As she was choosing her words, Lao Cai started talking about the descendants of Nuwa again.

Then the little lion got angry and went berserk, saying, "Cai Yinong, don't force me, I'll quit Sugar Man, okay?"

Yesterday, Lao Cai contacted her, saying he wanted to go to Baiyujing, and Little Lion readily agreed.

She felt she couldn't rely on Lao Cai; if she wanted to peacefully refuse both roles, she had to rely on her senior.

Cai Yinong had mentored her for several years and treated her exceptionally well. She didn't want to cause a scene if there was any other way.

When the little lion arrived at the scene, there were many people and it was very lively.

She suddenly realized that she had no chance to speak anymore.

Last night and this morning, after being threatened by Xixi, she not only had to refuse the two roles, but also had to win over Zhou Zhiruo.

Little Fairy? Impossible. From now on, I am just Liu Shishi.

"Shishi, Qianqian likes to tease people, but she doesn't mean any harm. If she does anything, don't take it to heart." After Liu Jing finished eating and drinking, Liu Shishi across from him ate slowly and deliberately, like a kitten.

Liu Shishi smirked coldly. "She took advantage of my drunkenness, posing me in a hundred different ways and taking so many photos. Ha! And you still say she didn't have any bad intentions? Liu Yifei isn't some angel; she's a demon."

Seeing that the little lion wasn't responding, Liu Jing vaguely understood what had happened. "What did Qianqian say to you?"

"It's nothing, I just think it through." The little lion swallowed the rest of the bread and finished his yogurt in one gulp.

"What have you figured out?" Liu Jing asked in surprise.

The little lion stood up, walked towards his senior brother, leaving the bath towel on the spot, and said, "I've come to terms with it."

Liu Jing held her on his lap, touching the bruises with pity, "Does it still hurt here?"

The little lion, who had been holding on, could no longer bear it and choked out, "The heart in the back here is aching."

"I'm sorry, I drank too much last night and was a bit rough," Liu Jing apologized, hugging him tightly.

The little lion couldn't hold back; tears streamed down his face, his grievances flowing freely through them.

“Last night…” Liu Jing stroked his smooth back, wanting to explain.

"I've forgotten about last night," Liu Shishi interrupted, not wanting to bring up that humiliating incident.

"I'll take care of everything. As long as you're okay, no one can bully you, including Qianqian," Liu Jing promised.

He wiped away the little lion's tears, which made the scene even more heartbreaking, giving the impression of him bullying an innocent woman.

The little lion blushed, turned its head away, and clearly felt the change beneath it.

"Senior brother, I want to go to the master bedroom."

Let alone going to the master bedroom, even if it were to go to the heavens, as long as Liu Jing has the ability, he would grant her wish right now.

On the bedside table was a photo of Xixi, her two fingers made into a scissor shape, pointing directly at Liu Jing.

Suddenly, as if divinely inspired, he thought of last night again.

With the arrow already on the bowstring, the little lion had something else to say: "Senior brother, I won't play the woman in yellow anymore, I want Zhou Zhiruo."

This time she didn't say that she would let her senior brother handle the arrangements, but he readily agreed, "Okay, leave this to me."

On the same day as the release of "The Sacred Flame," the production team for "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" was officially established, with a projected investment of 50 million yuan. The main cast and crew were also announced. The executive producer was Gao Yuanyuan, the supervisor was Liu Jing, the directors were Yu Min and Zhao Jian, Zhu Yilong played Zhang Wuji, Zhang Tianai played Zhao Min, Yuan Shanshan played Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Liying played Yin Li, and Gulnazar played Xiao Zhao…

The casting principle is to use newcomers for the main roles and well-known movie stars for other roles.

In addition to the personnel, several time points were also announced.

On November 1st, the main actors will begin a four-month training program, while the training periods for other important actors will vary. The training is mainly divided into two parts: martial arts training and acting training tailored to specific roles.

On November 20th, all roles were officially confirmed.

On March 5th, the production team will hold a commencement ceremony at Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain. The filming period will last four months, and it is expected to wrap up in July.

This was the first attempt at industrialized film and television production, so Chunqiu attached great importance to this production.

Even before the production team was officially formed, CCTV had already expressed interest in purchasing the film.

Sponsors and advertisers flocked to the place upon hearing the news, practically breaking down the gates of Chunqiu.

With the National Day holiday over, the selection process for the remaining roles in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has officially begun.

Whenever a role is cast, the production team announces it on the official website, which also serves as a form of promotion for "The Sacred Flame".

On October 12, the production team announced that Yang Rong was confirmed to play Ding Minjun, and Yan Kuan, Wallace Chung, and Qiao Zhenyu auditioned for the role of Yang Xiao.

Several actors who performed well in the casting process have been officially cast.

Ma Sichun plays Ji Xiaofu, Zhang Meng plays Yang Buhui, and Li Nian plays Zhu Jiuzhen...

On October 15th, the leaders of the six major sects were confirmed: Yu Chenghui will play Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhou Haimei will play Abbess Miejue...

The role of Abbess Miejue was originally intended for Kathy Chow, but due to her health issues, Sun Mengquan continued to play the role.

On October 16, the Fengjing Charity Foundation was established, founded by Liu Yifei and Liu Jing.

Liu Yifei donated all of her earnings from "The Forbidden Kingdom" to a charity fund, and Liu Jing followed suit by donating his earnings from "The Sacred Flame".

Chunqiu and Jiahe jointly stated that for every ticket sold for the "Sacred Flame Token," one yuan will be donated to the fund.

He also pledged that for every movie ticket sold for any film directed by Liu Jing, 0.1 yuan would be donated to the foundation.

Liu Jing never expected that the establishment of the Fengjing Charity Foundation would make Xixi famous.

The popularity value, which had been stagnant for a long time, broke through 90 points and reached 91 points.

So this makes them a top-tier team?

Liu Jing was puzzled. "I paid more money, so why is everyone praising Qianqian? This isn't fair."

Sister Li was very happy. Fengjingfeng, the two of them are finally welded together. Why didn't I think of that before?

She decided to reward Gao Yuanyuan properly because it was Gao Yuanyuan who suggested the name.

After quickly finishing her business in the United States, Sister Li returned to China immediately.

There are many shady dealings in charitable work, and this foundation cannot be tainted by others; she must personally oversee and manage it.

On October 18, the production team issued another announcement: Yang Mi will play Yin Susu, Qiao Zhenyu will play Yang Xiao, and Yan Kuan will play Zhang Cuishan.

On October 21st, "The Sacred Flame" surpassed 10 million yuan at the box office. The official website announced that several actors from the film version will reprise their roles in the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," with Ni Dahong reprising his role as Fan Yao and Xu Shaoqiang playing Cheng Kun…

On October 24th, the cast for the four Dharma Kings was finalized: Reyizha will play the Purple-Robed Dragon King, and Jin Song will play the Golden-Haired Lion King…

On October 27th, the Xuanming Elders were played by Ji Chunhua and Du Yuming, along with the Six Heroes of Wudang...

It was also announced that Yuan Shanshan was unable to play Zhou Zhiruo due to scheduling conflicts.

The casting of the new Zhou Zhiruo will be handled by producer Gao Yuanyuan.

Every two or three days, the production team releases casting information, which helps maintain the popularity of "The Sacred Flame".

This publicity and hype strategy was all devised by Big Beard. Now that he's left, Gao Yuanyuan slightly adjusted the plan and continued implementation.

The bearded man was so angry he almost shrunk his mustache, pulling out quite a few hairs, but he couldn't speak out publicly. No matter what he said, everyone would think he was just trying to get attention.

As the box office of "The Sacred Flame" surpassed 200 million, the bearded man suddenly stopped being angry.

He carried two boxes of gifts and, accompanied by his wife, paid a visit to Sister Li, who had just returned from abroad.
-
"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Spring and Autumn Pictures was filled with cheers.

Yesterday, October 28th, marked the end of the theatrical run of "The Sacred Flame".

This afternoon, near the end of the workday, General Manager Wen generously gave every employee a red envelope.

Is there anything happier than receiving a company bonus?
It doesn't matter how much or how little, the important thing is that I've received a bonus. The company has good things going on, so I'm still thinking about work.

"Sis, how much is in your red envelope?"

"It's empty. The boss is so stingy."

"Did you clip your nails?"

"Sis, you're so dirty-minded."

"I'm not stingy with them; I gave them several hundred million this afternoon."

"Then you really need to use QQ."

"Really several hundred million."

"I believe he has the capacity."

Snapped……

Liu Jing couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his hand on the table, pointed to the door, and shouted, "You two, get out..."

He was looking at the analysis report on "The Sacred Flame" and the box office details.

Gao Yuanyuan reclined on the sofa, while Bai Bing cracked sunflower seeds and chatted idly.

As they chatted, the conversation above ensued.

On September 28, "The Sacred Flame" was released simultaneously in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It ran for 31 days before being taken off screens.

With a domestic box office of 2.33 million yuan, it is second only to Transformers' 2.82 million yuan and is currently ranked as the champion of domestic films.

It grossed HK$3287 million in Hong Kong and NT$1.7 million in Taiwan, ranking first among Chinese-language films and fifth among all films.

The first four films were Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Transformers. Now, Hong Kong and Taiwan are completely dominated by Hollywood.

Many people suggested extending the key's validity period, but Liu Jing refused.

In the last two days, the domestic box office was just over a million yuan. Pirated and bootleg versions had been around for a long time and were impossible to control. The box office eventually broke 200 million yuan, entirely thanks to the establishment of the Fengjing Charity Foundation, which encouraged many people to watch "Woman in Yellow" a second or third time.

The hype has died down, and even if the season is extended by two months, the box office won't increase much.

Moreover, with "Lust, Caution" releasing on November 1st, "The Warlords" on December 12th, and "Assembly" on December 20th, all strong competitors, there's no need for further delays.

Both of those big-budget productions wanted to avoid "Lust, Caution," and Liu Jing was sensible enough not to run into it.

At the 64th Venice International Film Festival, which concluded in September, "Lust, Caution" won the Golden Lion Award, and no other film dared to be released at the same time as it.

As clips from the screenings leaked out, the audience's excitement surged like they were on a hormone-fueled spree, with everyone eagerly anticipating the moment when Paperclip would catch the spy.

The box office performance in Japan and South Korea was also good. In just half a month, the film grossed nearly 20 million yen, and the Korean film grossed over 10 million yen.

The film is distributed in Southeast Asia by Golden Harvest and is currently being shown in theaters.

[With the film "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Yin-Yang Sacred Flame" finished its theatrical run in China, Jing Tian's bond skill has taken effect, resulting in a double return on her overall rating and a settlement of 60.6 Entertainment Energy.]

This was the system message Liu Jing received last night, and he was so excited he couldn't sleep. He got up from his bed in the middle of the night and headed straight for the Beijing Film Academy campus.

The casting event for "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" really spurred Jing Tian on; so many contestants were better actors than her.

She was utterly crushed by Mi Lai's newly risen arrogance.

Shame spurs courage. After the military training ended, Jing Tian lived and ate at the school, focusing all her energy on her studies.

The outside world's turmoil and Xiao Zhao's praise and fame seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Sisi went to Suzhou to attend the Golden Rooster Awards and also to discuss a project; she wasn't in Yandu.

The little lion has been very obedient these past two days. His senior brother went against his principle of "fairness and impartiality" and gave Zhou Zhiruo to her.

On the night the official website announced Yuan Shanshan's withdrawal from the show, she also went against her own principles, as her senior brother pulled strings for her. After all, her senior brother pulled strings for her.

When Liu Jing arrived at the Beijing Film Academy, the school had already locked up, but that didn't stop him; he simply climbed over the wall.

Jing Tian also made an excuse to slip out of the dormitory. She had taken sick leave and could have left through the main gate. But she refused and insisted that her brother Jing climb over the wall again, finding it very exciting.

Liu Jing was very excited, and to express his excitement, he took Jing Tian to eat at the night market.

Jing Tian refused, saying, "Let's take the final step and go back to Jinglan Palace."

Liu Jing was completely bewildered. This time, he genuinely wanted to have some fun with Fu Guihua, not just to have fun with her. He wanted something pure and simple, not something risqué.

He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. When he arrived at the company early in the morning, the first person he met was General Manager Wen.

Liu Jing hugged President Wen tightly, as if they hadn't seen each other for eight years. President Wen was terrified, thinking his nephew had gone mad again.

Of course, he wouldn't tell President Wen how incredibly powerful the Fortune Flower's skills were.

To share his joy with everyone, he decided to give red envelopes to all employees and key members of the production team.

Mr. Wen agreed. His nephew's first film grossed over 200 million yuan. There's no reason not to celebrate.

"We'll talk about our own things, you can look at yours." Gao Yuanyuan certainly wasn't going out; it was almost time to get off work, and she wanted to organize a get-together.

There are no new members today; Bai Bing next to me is a veteran member.

Gao Yuanyuan was very happy, not only because of the box office performance of "The Sacred Flame Order", but also because Sister Li had a talk with her.

Spring and Autumn is about to establish a film and television investment department, and she will be in charge of the new department, with an initial allocation of 500 million yuan.

"Sister Yuanyuan, Fu Dalong won Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards the day before yesterday. Sister Zeng Li is amazing, both her ex-boyfriend and rumored boyfriend won Best Actor. Some netizens say there's a shortcut to winning Best Actor: date Zeng Li, it's a mystery." Bai Bing smiled, she didn't want to go out, she was definitely going to attend the party that night.

“Someone’s obsessed with winning Best Actor, he can give it a try.” Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Liu Jing, who was still fixated on winning Best Actor.

"Haha..." Bai Bing laughed so hard she almost fell over; she understood the joke.

"Xiao Bai, get out!" Liu Jing slammed his hand on the table. Was this some kind of rebellion?

"Sister Yuanyuan, did you watch the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony? There was another tie for Best Actress. I loved the little expressions on Qianqian's face when she read out the names." Bai Bing pretended not to hear.

"No award can be won without a tie. No award can be won without a tie. These two awards, well, it's hard to explain," Gao Yuanyuan mocked.

"It's a pity about Zhu Yuanyuan. I think her performance in 'The Dog' was better than Liu Jialing's," Bai Bing said regretfully.

"The Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster Awards are open to artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so we should set an example."

"Sister Yuanyuan, we've submitted our application for this year's Golden Horse Awards. The judging panel and process won't be made public this time, there must be something going on. After all, 'Lust, Caution' won the Golden Lion, and Ang Lee is a Taiwanese director."

"It's hard to say, Hong Kong and Taiwan awards have never been friendly to mainland China."

The two were chatting when Liu Jing's phone rang.

"Don't talk, it's Lao Yang's phone call." Liu Jing said in surprise.

"Old Yang?" Bai Bing asked, puzzled. Which leader?

"Yang Mi's father." Gao Yuanyuan smiled. Was there a new member tonight? No, Yang Mi was an old member.
