Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 450 Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage

Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing both said they could bring in investment for "Mirage," and that bringing in three to five million yuan shouldn't be a problem.

But now that he's a new director and Li Qiutang is assisting him as a producer, his attitude has immediately changed, and he doesn't want to invest anymore.

If they don't want to invest, they don't want to invest. Anyway, the company never thought about actors bringing their own investment.

Li Qiutang carefully compared the actors' schedules and their suitability for the roles, and eliminated Gao Yuanyuan as the first one.

Gao Yuanyuan has a full schedule. She has obviously acted much less in recent years, but she is not suitable for suspense films like "Mirage". Gao Yuanyuan is more suitable for art films or family films.

Li Qiutang personally called Gao Yuanyuan and made no attempt to hide anything, saying that it was a mistake on the part of the production team that they had sent scripts to five or six actresses. In addition, more than a dozen well-known actors who had approached them said they could play the role, but there was only one. "This kind of work that offends people can only be done by me, the producer."

Gao Yuanyuan on the other side understood what she meant: they didn't need her.

If you don't need it, then you don't need it. After marriage, Gao Yuanyuan's ambition for her career isn't as strong anymore, which is a bit of a pity, but it's alright.

The second person Li Qiutang eliminated was Hao Lei. Hao Lei is actually a naturally gifted actress; she is very talented and has excellent acting skills. However, Li Qiutang had to eliminate her due to market considerations.

Xin Yukun was an unknown new director, and the film "Mirage" was quite mind-bending. Li Qiutang wanted to choose a more well-known actress to attract audiences to the cinema.

When he was filming "The Invisible Guest," he knew that after using Xi Meijuan to support the acting and pacing, he needed to find Huang Xiaoming to pair with her to help sell tickets.

Hao Lei is clearly not that kind of actor.

After deciding on this idea, the female lead could only be chosen from several top actresses.

As she was thinking, it was almost time to get off work, so Liu Yifei sent him a WeChat message asking if he was coming home for dinner today. She said if he wasn't, she wouldn't cook for him.

Li Qiutang packed her things and left early to go home for dinner.

This time, Yao Beina listened to her best friend and family and stopped all work early to recuperate. She managed to control her illness and, although she was not fully cured, was able to live a normal life.

The attending physician was optimistic about her condition, saying that as long as she maintained a healthy lifestyle and an optimistic attitude, and cooperated with active treatment, the disease could be controlled and the patient's lifespan could be greatly extended.

However, there was a downside: the doctor advised her not to have any plans to have children.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The latest medical check-up results were very good, so Liu Yifei and several of her friends in Beijing threw her a small party.

Once her health improved, Yao Beina wanted to return to singing, but she still faced opposition from her relatives and friends.

The day after Yao Beina's health party, Jay Chou and Kun Ling held their wedding in the UK.

The wedding was like a fairy tale, with a castle, a church, a wedding dress, and flowers, but onlookers joked that the wedding was more about fulfilling Jay Chou's princess heart!
"Look at what others are doing!" Liu Yifei is now paying extra attention to and being particularly sensitive to these kinds of things. Jay Chou's wedding was extremely romantic, and Liu Yifei wanted it too.

She saw a Chinese-style wedding online yesterday and said she wanted one too.

"I'll do it, I'll do it! Whatever kind of wedding you want, I'll do it for you." At this point, never argue with your wife; whatever she says goes.

Two days later, Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi officially announced that they had registered their marriage.

Liu Shishi said, "We are very happy."

Regardless of the circumstances, this is a joyous occasion. No matter how much the two fan groups usually fight, no malicious fans would dare to stir up trouble at this time.

Last year, a large number of celebrities announced their relationships and marriages. Yang Mi got married, Liu Yifei was proposed to by Li Qiutang, and now it's finally Liu Shishi's turn in "Chinese Paladin".

Of course, I wish you well.

The next day, Liu Yifei was working out of town when she was asked, "Did you know that Liu Shishi got married?" She hadn't checked Weibo the day before and had no idea about it, but she reacted quickly: "Got married? Oh, congratulations!"

"Do you have anything to say?"

"This is a great joy in life, congratulations!"

The reporter actually wanted to ask her when she was getting married. Since the proposal was successful, the next step would naturally be to get married and have a wedding.

Upon learning the reporter's intention, Liu Yifei laughed and said, "Just ask! I'm a married woman now, so there's nothing I can't answer."

So what are your plans for the wedding?

"The date hasn't been set yet," Liu Yifei replied sincerely. "I still need to discuss it with my family."

The reporter was very interested in her "married life": "Is there any difference between your life before and after the proposal?"

“You know, I’ve realized that life still needs a sense of ritual. Rituals might seem a bit fake or deliberate at first glance, but they’re definitely necessary. Qiu Tang threw me that birthday party, invited so many of my good friends, and then proposed. Through that ceremony, I felt a sense of responsibility towards him. I realized I would become his wife, build a family with him, and be responsible for him. That’s a big change before and after the proposal. It’s not that I didn’t feel this responsibility when we were dating, but that ceremony strengthened that sense of responsibility.”

In fact, Liu Yifei only needed to give a simple two-word answer to fool the reporter, but when faced with a reporter's question, she would always think carefully and then answer the other party sincerely.

Sometimes sincerity is indeed a killer move. Liu Yifei answered so earnestly that the reporter couldn't bear to set a trap for her and instead returned to her work.

#Liu Yifei wishes Liu Shishi well# It was a beautiful story, but this news didn't stay on the trending topics for more than a few hours before it was overtaken by the news of Chen He's infidelity.

Last July and August, they were still showing affection for each other on a TV show, and today they say they've been divorced for more than half a year. Isn't this just playing with the audience?
His "good man" image has completely collapsed.

It's strange, but every time a celebrity breaks up or their "good guy" image collapses, a large number of fans say they no longer believe in love.

Li Qiutang had no time for such gossip; he was currently accompanying Ye Ning and Chen Guofu to entertain several international film distributors.

A month after filming wrapped on "Mojin: The Lost Legend," Wan Da began preparing to sell the international rights.

If Li Qiutang hadn't been holding back, Wan Da would have arranged for international distributors to visit the set and watch the film during filming.

Li Qiutang has a certain international market presence, but when it comes to carrying the international market, it has to be Crystal Liu.

Liu Yifei is much more famous abroad than Li Qiutang.

A European distribution manager recognized Liu Yifei immediately upon seeing the character poster for "Mojin: The Lost Legend": "I know her, Lucy."

The global box office success of "Lucy," which grossed over $4 million to $5 million, was no accident.

The simplest and most straightforward way to explain "Mojin: The Lost Legend" to foreigners is to say that it's the Chinese version of "Indiana Jones," and to explain Shirley Yang is to say that she's the Chinese version of Lara Croft.

Tomb raiding movies inherently possess a mysterious and thrilling atmosphere, which is actually quite popular with film producers.

The negotiations went very smoothly; the publisher wanted to buy out the distribution rights for the entire European region in one go, offering $300 million.

Li Qiutang thought she had misheard: $300 million to buy out the copyright for the entire European region?

The director, producer, and executive producer—the three most influential figures in the entire "Mojin: The Lost Legend" crew—are here with you, and you're only offering $300 million?
Calling Li Qiutang over with $300 million is unnecessary!

"I think you should reconsider." Ye Ning was also dissatisfied with the price.

But Li Qiutang ignored her and pushed back her chair, saying, "I'm going outside for some fresh air." Then she walked away.
