Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 445 Dreaming of Fighting Someone
Youth films are incredibly popular, and "Fleet of Time" continues to be a box office hit during the Lunar New Year season. As of now, "Fleet of Time" has surpassed 500 million yuan in total box office revenue, seemingly poised to become the champion of the Lunar New Year (December) season, which surprised everyone.

Shu Chang and Lin Gengxin have become incredibly popular again.

The huge success of "Fleet of Time" has further fueled the popularity of youth films.

Although Liu Yifei's team has almost explicitly stated that they will not accept youth films, many scripts for youth films are still being submitted. This genre is very lucrative, so the production companies are willing to pay high salaries, which is why they dare to submit scripts – what do they mean by not accepting them? They just want the salary.

But Liu Yifei's team really means it when they say they won't accept the offer!

Liu Yifei never accepts roles based on money, no matter how much it costs.

Liu Yifei's team is so arrogant. "Lucy" had a budget of $4000 million and grossed $4 million worldwide. "I'm an international star, why would I make a youth film here? How pathetic!"

There is indeed a hierarchy of disdain in the film and television industry, with idol dramas and youth films at the bottom. This is an industry reality that must be acknowledged.

Despite the global box office success of "Twilight," the industry still held it in contempt, with even the lead actor feeling he was an idiot for starring in the film.

How could Liu Yifei, who is at the height of her popularity and arrogance, possibly accept a youth film?

Even if the other party is the sequel to the blockbuster "So Young", even if the production company offers a sky-high contract of 5000 million yuan - the production company must be crazy. Youth films are all about high returns on low investment, how dare they offer Liu Yifei such a high salary.

Although it's called a sequel, "So Young 2" has absolutely no connection to Zhao Yanzi's "So Young".

Even the original novel being adapted wasn't a sequel to the first film; the production company added the title "So Young" to capitalize on the popularity of the first film.

The behind-the-scenes team has also changed. Zhao Yanzi is no longer there, and they are not even willing to be listed as producers. The production company has also changed.

It can be said that "So Young 2: Never Gone" is a completely new film.

This title is so pretentious.

Liu Yifei had no reason to accept this movie.

But the production company still didn't give up, because getting Liu Yifei meant making money in a sense, and with the current top star Wu Yifan on top of that, the production company didn't know how they could lose!
The producer hired by the investors may have come from BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent). When talking to Liu Yifei's team, he kept talking about traffic and data. It's possible that these two concepts are trendy and he learned them.

Traffic and data are certainly important, but when discussing film contracts and release dates, shouldn't we be more realistic and talk about how excellent and promising our work is?
Liu Yifei's agent originally didn't want to meet with this producer and had already made it clear that there was nothing more to talk about.

But he couldn't resist the film company's repeated invitations, and the salary they offered was indeed very high, so he agreed to meet and talk.

"Wu Yifan is the most popular celebrity right now."

"Aren't Lu Han and Li Yifeng the most popular?"

"Same here. Wu Yifan and Lu Han used to be in the same group, and they both have extremely high popularity. We finally managed to secure his schedule."

But what does this have to do with Liu Yifei? No matter how popular she is, she's still a newcomer.

"We really don't have time next year." This sentence has been said countless times. "We have felt your sincerity, but Yifei has made it clear to us that she will not be taking on any new roles next year."

To put it bluntly, "So Young 2" was not enough to make Liu Yifei make an exception.

But the producer still kept the script: "I really hope Yifei will seriously consider our production team."

Liu Yifei has returned from Thailand. She was exhausted these past few days, but she is still full of energy!

Because she needs to start preparing for her wedding!
Does every girl dream about her wedding from the time she can remember?

Although Liu Yifei's story wasn't quite that exaggerated, she did start dreaming about what kind of wedding she would have when she was around fifteen or sixteen years old.

This silly guy woke up very early in the morning, and without even washing up, he took out his phone to search online for how to plan a wedding.

There are a huge list online, it's dazzling.

Li Qiutang lay beside her, fast asleep. Liu Yifei was suddenly a little angry when she saw him sleeping so soundly. "I'm so excited about preparing for the wedding that I can't sleep. I'm researching and searching for information and guides. And you, you're sleeping like a log, as if it's none of your business."

Liu Yifei was filled with rage and, driven by a vicious impulse, raised her hand and shouted, "Go to hell!"
Li Qiutang was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt someone slap her, which startled her awake.

He saw Liu Yifei lying beside him.

"Ah, why am I awake? What time is it?" Li Qiutang was still half asleep. He thought that what he had just experienced must have been a dream, but the slight pain in his body made him doubt that it was a dream. Maybe he was sleeping too soundly and the pain was getting worse.

Liu Yifei glanced at her phone: "5:20, did you have a nightmare?"

"It seems so. I dreamt I was fighting with someone and got slapped." Li Qiutang sat up, took a sip of water, and wanted to lie down and continue sleeping, but Liu Yifei stopped her.

"I can not sleep."

"If you can't sleep, try to sleep. It's still dark outside." Li Qiutang really wanted to sleep.

But Liu Yifei wouldn't let him sleep!

"Get up, I'm looking at the wedding preparations, can you give me some feedback?"

Li Qiutang lay with her eyes closed and said, "You're worrying too much."

Before he could finish speaking, he received another punch from Liu Yifei: "You don't care about anything, and now you're telling me I'm worrying too much."

"Tsk, there are professional wedding planning companies. We can focus on the big picture and let go of the details. If you do everything yourself for such a big event, what are you doing worrying about for nothing?"

This is probably the difference in thinking between directors and actors. Directors are often more like product managers, needing to coordinate and manage various departments of the crew to fulfill their requirements for the film, while actors' performances are more about themselves.

"Ya Wen and Yang Mi are both experienced, as are Deng Chao. Just be more talkative and ask a few more questions."

Why didn't you ask?

"I'm going to sleep a little longer." He said, then ignored Liu Yifei.

"My mom listens to everything I say about your parents' opinions on the wedding," Liu Yifei said, but all she heard in response was her husband's snoring.

Liu Yifei was a little angry.

Liu Yifei knew that Li Qiutang was right, but she couldn't help but overthink and do more, after all, it only happens once in a lifetime.

So she stared at it until dawn.

"Did you go thievery night? You look so listless." Liu Xiaoli noticed her daughter's dejected state while eating breakfast.

"I didn't sleep well."

But the son-in-law seems to be in good spirits. Could it be...?

Li Qiutang quickly said, "She woke up at four or five o'clock yesterday and sat there by herself looking at the wedding preparations. The more she looked, the more anxious she became, and the less she could sleep."

Liu Xiaoli laughed: "What's there to be anxious about? Once the date is set, we can leave the rest to the planning department. There are certain rules and regulations for these kinds of things, so we just need to do our jobs well."

“What did I tell you?” Li Qiutang said.

Liu Yifei pouted and didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Li Qiutang went back to work, while Liu Yifei had a magazine shoot today. The two drove away from home separately.
