Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 589 Difficult to coax
Did you make those two dishes?

"Humph~"

"You did it, so you should say so."

"Humph~"

"Then you can't blame me." Li Qiutang started to shift the blame. "It really didn't taste very good. I was poisoned so you could remarry."

Liu Yifei asked, "Is it really that bad?"

"You ate some yourself too. If it was so delicious, you shouldn't have left so much food on those two plates. It's such a waste to throw it all away."

Liu Yifei said, "It's my first time doing this." She sounded rather aggrieved.

Why did you suddenly want to cook?

"To experience life, you have to experience the whole thing. I am Zhu Xiaoyan now, how can I not know how to cook?"

Li Qiutang began her performance: "Oh, so you didn't learn to cook for me, but to experience life. I see, your husband isn't as important as some other person in your heart."

After saying that, he angrily walked away quickly. Liu Yifei chased after him, both annoyed and amused: "Why are you so petty? What do you care why I'm learning to cook? In the end, it's you who's eating it, isn't it?"

"Hmph~" He even became arrogant.

Liu Yifei continued to coax her husband: "I'm learning to cook now for acting, but after filming is over, I'll still cook for you."

"Hmph~" Hard to coax.

Liu Yifei quickly caught up with her husband's pace: "Just like when I was a kid, I wanted to be a dancer like my mom, but in the end, you got the better deal."

"Explain yourself! How did you get off easy for me?" Li Qiutang hadn't quite grasped the situation. Learning to dance was something she did when she was a child, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Li Qiutang.

"Those high-difficulty moves, weren't you the one who enjoyed them the most?" Liu Yifei said with a suggestive smile. "Last time you even wanted me to do the splits, and you actually thought of that..."

"Why are you talking about this?" Li Qiutang quickly grabbed her hand, interrupting her nonsense. "It's not like I'm forcing anyone to do something I don't want to do." Liu Yifei was having a lot of fun herself.

"Not angry anymore?" Liu Yifei laughed. "It's just cooking a meal, you're making a big deal out of it."

Li Qiutang shamelessly said, "We men have emotions too, so why can't we throw a tantrum?"

"Okay, okay." Liu Yifei felt more and more that her husband was sometimes childish.

The couple walked slowly hand in hand when Li Qiutang suddenly said, "Don't cook so many dishes in the future. There are three of us in the family. If we cook five or six dishes every meal, we can't possibly finish them all. Experiencing life should be done in a certain way. When I'm at home, my parents and I only have two dishes per meal. When I come home for vacation, they cook two more dishes that I like."

"Okay, I'll be careful from now on."

“We live a normal family life now. You need to manage your monthly living expenses well. Don’t go shopping at imported supermarkets like before. How many times can your little allowance go there?”

"I know what I'm doing."

Actually, it's good to let Liu Yifei experience life like this. More than one person, including friends and fans, has said that Liu Yifei is a true lotus flower, and even now that she's almost 30, she's still like that.

Let alone life at the bottom, she probably doesn't even know what life is like for an ordinary middle-class family.

For her, experiencing ordinary family life through the role of Zhu Xiaoyan is also a good thing.

In fact, many celebrities have this problem. When you stand at a high position for a long time, you naturally can't bend your back anymore. Even many celebrities from ordinary families will have this problem after they have been famous for a long time.

Li Qiutang knew that many celebrities, when they closed their doors, were just ordinary people, not living a life of extravagance as the outside world imagined. But celebrities' material conditions were much better, and with that foundation, they couldn't be too ordinary.

Li Qiutang then asked, "Have you found a job yet?" Liu Yifei had previously said that she wanted to find a job on her own and fully experience the life of an ordinary working-class person.

"No, it's really hard to find a job these days." It's not that it's hard for her, because she can't submit her resume with her real name. "I definitely can't work for my own company, and other companies might not even want me."

Li Qiutang didn't intend to interfere with her job search and was even a little gloating. But on the third day, Liu Yifei excitedly told Liu Xiaoli and Li Qiutang that she had found a job.

I work as a yoga instructor at a gym owned by a friend.

"Huh? You can do this?"

"You underestimate me. I've been practicing for several years, so teaching a beginner is no problem."

"Do you have a license?"

"No."

"You're working without a license."

"There are plenty of people without licenses, I'm not the only one."

"Then how do you explain to the students that you're a coach?"

"I told them I was just experiencing life, and the trainees understood. I'll start working tomorrow."

The next morning, Coach Liu went to work full of enthusiasm.

The National Day holiday was kicked off with "I Belonged to You," which grossed 7400 million yuan, a respectable result.

The following day, "Mission Milano," "L.O.R.D.: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties," and "Operation Mekong" were released in theaters, officially kicking off the National Day free-for-all.

"Operation Mekong" was only a participant in the investment in the fall, so the fall was just "doing what was expected" and not very active in the film. It only accounted for 30% of the share. How could the fall be expected to be active?

Of course, they remained professional, and Qiu Tian did not cut corners on "Mekong River," providing all the necessary help and resources.

The return for "Mekong River" was a box office of 3897 million on its opening day, which, to be honest, is quite average in terms of numbers.

But this did not affect the confidence of the two production companies. Both Bernard and Qiu Tian believed that "Mekong River" was of high quality and that it needed time to improve.

But the worst off wasn't "Operation Mekong," but "Mission Milano," which was highly anticipated before its release. Wong Jing really hasn't changed his ways, using the same formula as "From Vegas to Macau" to deliver another terrible film, swindling 2280 million yuan from viewers on its opening day.

This show has received rave reviews!
"It's rotten no matter how you look at it."

"Has the Heavenly King been bewitched? How could he act in such a terrible movie?"

"Wang Jing is getting worse and worse; now he can only make a hodgepodge of things."

"If Huang Xiaoming really can't do it, he should quit. What kind of rubbish is he acting!"

Even the movie next door, "L.O.R.D.: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties," has received three stars, with some saying it's "watchable," while "Mission Milano" is all one star!
This is one of Huang Xiaoming's shortcomings, as Li Qiutang pointed out: he's too easily swayed and soft-hearted, making many friends and agreeing to anything people say.

I don't believe Huang Xiaoming can't see that this is a terrible movie. Whoever acts in it will die. Wah Gor is from Hong Kong, his roots are there, there's nothing he can do. Why would Huang Xiaoming do this favor and ruin his own acting career? Doesn't he know that he has flopped too many movies in the past two years and needs a masterpiece to salvage his reputation?

He knew this, so he went to find Li Qiutang again.

His fans, ordinary netizens, and even his staff all suggested to him, "Why don't you try to find director Qiu Tang again?" Everyone knows that Li Qiu Tang can make a good film about Huang Xiaoming, and he knows it himself.

But the first thing Huang Xiaoming wanted to say to Li Qiutang was not to recommend himself for a role in Li Qiutang's new film, but to ask him: "Do you think I should take on 'Nirvana in Fire 2'? All my staff members advised me not to."

Li Qiutang poured tea into Huang Xiaoming's teacup and said inscrutably, "You just want to use me to express your own thoughts."

That's true, but Li Qiutang added, "I'm currently working on two films, one an art film and the other a science fiction film. My staff, even my screenwriter, have advised me against it, but I'm a rebellious person by nature. I'm the boss, and I can do whatever I want." Li Qiutang was amused by her own words.

“Sometimes you really have to learn from Yifei. She does what she wants to do, and she won’t listen to me.”
