Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 390 Couple Outfits Again

With a whoosh, chairs were pushed back, and many people stood up to look at Qin Lan.

Li Qiutang heard everything Lu Chuan said. He rushed over to Qin Lan's side and shielded her behind him.

Huang Xiaoming also stepped forward, since he had been mentioned before. He extended his hand and said, "Director Lu, don't talk nonsense."

Li Qiutang was much less polite, pointing her finger at Lu Chuan and yelling, "What kind of skill is it to bully a woman!"

Lu Chuan retorted, "Who did I say? Did I say her? Don't be so quick to assume it's about me!"

Li Qiutang didn't want to argue with him at all: "You know what you mean, and so many people here heard it, so stop pretending to be confused!"

"Before criticizing others, take a piss and look at yourself. Without her, could you have finished filming 'Nanjing! Nanjing!'? The crew was short of money, so they forced actresses to drink with them. You're the only director in the world who would do something like that! Before, you were thanking her with tears in your eyes, but now you're ungrateful. Who's the ungrateful one here?"

"You...you..." Lu Chuan wanted to refute Li Qiutang, but the words wouldn't come out.

Someone stepped in to mediate: "That's enough, that's enough. He's had a few too many drinks, he's just talking nonsense."

But Qin Lan wouldn't let Lu Chuan off the hook. After Li Qiutang finished speaking, she continued to curse, pointing at the two people opposite her: "Don't think I don't know that you two have been hooking up for a long time. You've been cheating on me behind my back. Is that all you've got?"

Even a clay figure has a temper. When Qin Lan and Li Qiutang scolded him like that, Lu Chuan couldn't stand it and was about to come up and hit them.

"Come on, let's see who can get out of this room today!" Qin Lan wasn't afraid at all, and casually picked up the ashtray on the table to smash it.

Lu Chuan was pulled away: "Say less, say less. He's had too much to drink. Where's his assistant? Have someone take him back."

Qin Lan was not about to admit defeat. Before the fight even started, she smashed the ashtray at Hu Die's feet.

"Ah!" Hu Die screamed in fright and immediately burst into tears.

Perhaps frightened by Li Qiutang and Qin Lan, Lu Chuan also cried, and explained to those around him, "I didn't say anything to her, did she have to?"

Seeing that Lu Chuan still wouldn't stop talking, Li Qiutang said again: "You're a grown man, crying and sobbing. Do you even know what a man you are? You spend a woman's money and then turn around and curse others. If you lay a hand on me today, I'll respect you more."

"Qiutang, stop talking. Why are you arguing with a drunk person? Hu Die, take him home. What a mess this is today."

But Li Qiutang insisted on leaving first: "No, let's go. Eating at the same table with such a petty person will only dirty my chopsticks." After saying that, she pulled Qin Lan and left first.

Huang Xiaoming followed behind.

He left Lu Chuan's furious roar behind him: "I'm going to blacklist you! I'll make it impossible for you to move an inch in this industry!!"

Li Qiutang didn't drink. He drove the people to their destination, with Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan sitting in the back. Their assistants followed in Huang Xiaoming's car.

Although Huang Xiaoming didn't join Li Qiutang and Qin Lan in criticizing Lu Chuan, he did stand up to protect Qin Lan.

Qin Lan turned her head to look out the window, neither speaking nor crying, but she seemed somewhat downcast.

Based on Li Qiutang's understanding of her, he knew she wouldn't cry over something like this. However, wanting to lighten the mood in the car, he said, "Why mess with Northeasterners? Which Northeastern woman is easy to mess with?"

Qin Lan laughed and said, "I could scold someone like him for a whole day and night without repeating myself."

Li Qiutang said, "I have a baseball bat in my trunk. If you're still not satisfied, you can go back and beat him up."

Huang Xiaoming said sternly, "Stop teaching her! She's taking it seriously!"

Qin Lan said, "If I kill him, I'll go to jail. I won't do it. Can I smoke in your car?"

"Come on."

Qin Lan took out a cigarette from her bag, lit it, opened the window, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke out the window.

Li Qiutang took Qin Lan home first, and Huang Xiaoming sat in the front. Li Qiutang said, "The publicity for 'The Invisible Guest' is going to be difficult. You should be prepared."

Huang Xiaoming knew what Li Qiutang was referring to and said, "Just follow the production team's plan. How can he retaliate?" "It's precisely because we don't know what he'll do that we're in a difficult position."

"He might not necessarily retaliate," Huang Xiaoming said.

Li Qiutang retorted, "What would you do if you were in his shoes? Didn't you hear him say he was going to blacklist us and make it impossible for us to survive in this industry?"

"That was just said in anger; he doesn't have that much power."

"So he'll definitely take another approach; he's not exactly a magnanimous person."

As they were talking, they arrived at Huang Xiaoming's house. Since Li Qiutang hadn't eaten well at dinner, Huang Xiaoming invited her to his house for another meal.

"You can't cook, what are we going to eat?" Li Qiutang refused.

When I got home, Liu Yifei was already back, slurping noodles, with a plate of washed fruit next to her bowl.

"What, you're not even getting a meal when you go to see the director?" Li Qiutang brought over the fruit platter to eat.

"I've been eating a lot lately, do you think I'm going through a second puberty?"

"You're 27, and you're still going through puberty?!" Li Qiutang thought she had a mental lapse. "You're just training too hard, so you burn a lot of calories and eat a lot. Where's Mom? Isn't she home?"

"I've gone to Tianjin, I'll be back tomorrow." He said, pushing the bowl towards me, "No need, you eat it."

“Noodles? I’d rather die than eat them.” Li Qiutang would never eat noodles or frozen dumplings unless she starved to death.

"I don't know how to make hand-pulled noodles, but you should try some, it's delicious."

Li Qiutang resolutely refused, and Liu Yifei even said that this was a bad habit of his.

The next day, the first press conference for "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was held as scheduled.

At the press conference, the production team released the latest dynamic poster and announced the start date for the film: "Filming will begin in mid-to-late June."

The release date was also announced: "December 18, 2015, see you during the Lunar New Year holiday!"

Zhang Zhao said, "This is a common practice for Hollywood blockbusters. Setting the release date during the preparation period helps the production team to move forward steadily and efficiently, and also gives the audience a clear expectation."

Regarding box office revenue, the executives said they hoped it would reach 20-25 billion yuan, but Wang Changtian later added, "If that's not enough, we'll include overseas box office revenue as well."

However, Li Qiutang then complained about being poor: "20 billion! Those bosses should give me more budget. I don't have enough money right now."

The most anticipated part was naturally the reveal of the cast, but the "Mojin: The Lost Legend" production team wanted to keep the audience in suspense, so they only revealed one actress today: "I think you've all guessed it, let's welcome Liu Yifei, who plays Shirley Yang!"

Liu Yifei walked gracefully onto the stage in a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a blue denim dress, standing next to the director. Only then did everyone realize that Li Qiutang was also wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans.

The two are wearing matching outfits again! They're not hiding their relationship at all.

Even the press conference host remarked, "Hey, I noticed that Yifei and the director's outfits match so well today."

Liu Yifei's face turned visibly red, and the fans in the audience were practically screaming themselves hoarse.

This could be considered a tacit official announcement between the two.

When talking about the role of Shirley Yang, Liu Yifei naturally expressed her gratitude to the producers and the director for their trust. She also mentioned that she has extensive experience in action films and is confident that she can play the role of Shirley Yang well.

When asked about Lu Chuan's version of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", Li Qiutang was not very polite and said directly: "I think we are not the same kind of directors. I have never lost at the box office, so I am not worried."

The host was clearly taken aback by Li Qiutang's bluntness and tried to brush it off with a laugh: "It seems our director Qiutang has a lot of confidence in 'Mojin: The Lost Legend'. I'm even more looking forward to the movie now."

After the press conference for "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was held in the morning, the media received news in the afternoon that "Lu Chuan will also be holding a press conference for 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' tomorrow morning!"
