Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 620 Sit Over Here!
It may be a coincidence, or it may be destiny.

Liu Yifei received her new ID card on Valentine's Day, which means that after three years since 2014, Li Qiutang has finally restored Liu Yifei's nationality.

Making this happen was fraught with difficulties both domestically and internationally. In the United States, Li Qiutang truly hired the best lawyers and accountants to help her get things done.

In China, Li Qiutang still had some influence among the leadership, but even so, they only gave him the green light in certain aspects and it still took him three years to complete all the procedures.

"Did I take a bad ID photo?" Liu Yifei was a little dissatisfied with her ID photo.

Li Qiutang leaned over for a peek and said, "Hmm, it's not good-looking."

Liu Yifei disagreed and punched Li Qiutang: "I'm incredibly good-looking, okay!"

"Fine, fine, you're incredibly beautiful." Li Qiutang walked away. "I can't even agree with what you say."

"Where are you going again?" Today is Valentine's Day, and Liu Yifei wanted to create some romance with her husband, so she even prepared her outfit.

"I'm going to check out the set of 'The Wandering Earth'."

"Hmm," Liu Yifei said coquettishly, "Can we not go today?"

But Li Qiutang said, "Just one look, I'll be back soon."

In fact, Liu Yifei also knew that the closer the start date of "The Wandering Earth" was, the busier Li Qiutang would be. For several days after the start of filming, Li Qiutang slept in the studio.

"Give me a kiss." Liu Yifei opened her arms.

Li Qiutang had no choice but to go over to his wife again, hug her, kiss her, pat her waist, and coax her, "Be good, I'll be back soon."

Liu Yifei laughed and said, "Can you stop coaxing me like a child?" On the one hand, Liu Yifei doesn't fall for this, but on the other hand, she is happy to hear it. On the other hand, she sometimes thinks it's a bit childish.

Li Qiutang pinched her butt and smiled, "I'm leaving now, wait for me to come back."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes coquettishly and let him leave.

Li Qiutang drove to the prop workshop of "The Wandering Earth," where Li Guangjie, who played Wang Lei, the captain of the CN171-11 rescue team in the film, was trying on his protective suit.

This protective suit is very troublesome to put on; it takes four to six people an hour and a half to help him put it on. The staff are currently helping him tighten the screws.

Upon seeing Li Qiutang arrive, Li Guangjie awkwardly waved to him and said with a smile, "Please forgive me for being unable to perform the full ceremony due to my armor."

The staff member objected, saying, "Don't touch it, it's not done yet."

Li Guangjie laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I won't move."

The two of them stood there talking.

Li Qiutang said, "You can't move around too much. This outfit is a treasure of our crew; we can't afford to damage it. How does it feel?"

Li Guangjie said, "I've been tricked by you."

"What's wrong?" Li Qiutang asked. He hadn't participated in Li Guangjie's audition; he had only selected him from the final three candidates.

"I heard you were making a sci-fi movie with a space station and spacesuits to wear, so I came here. I thought that even if I couldn't be an astronaut, playing one and wearing a protective suit would be a dream come true. But when I got to the audition, I found out that I don't go to the space station; I stay on the ground."

Li Guangjie continued, "If I'm not going to space, then I'm not going. Having a protective suit is good enough. Later, when it was my turn, I met Zhixi again and asked her how heavy the protective suits were, saying they were too heavy and inconvenient for me to move around. She held up four fingers, and I thought 40 kilograms would be okay."

"When I came for the makeup trial today, I found out that this dress weighs 40 kilograms, or 80 pounds! That explains why I had to do the makeup trial so early."

The physical effects artist in charge of designing the protective suits said, "It's to give you time to work out. After all, only actors can adapt to props; props can't adapt to actors."

Li Qiutang laughed after hearing this: "There's nothing we can do about it. This outfit is really cool, isn't it?"

Li Qiutang had seen the clothes before, but this was the first time he had seen an actor wear them; he wasn't there when the crew members tried them on.

"It's really cool, especially that gun, it's so stylish." Heavy as it may be, the clothes are undeniably cool.

After getting dressed, Li Guangjie stretched his arms and legs; they were indeed very cumbersome.

According to the work schedule, the main actors will have to come to Huairou or Qingdao for makeup tests in the next two weeks. If they are suitable, there will be no problem. If they are not suitable, they can go to the gym. If the actors need to be replaced, there will be time for the production team to make adjustments.

Having reviewed the preparation of many props, Li Qiutang instructed the crew to be extremely careful when shipping them to Qingdao.

Some props were too expensive, and the crew didn't have backups. "Don't worry, director, we bought the best cargo insurance in the industry, so they will definitely be transported to Qingdao safely."

"Cargo insurance is for claims. If the props are damaged, there's no time to redo them even if you pay compensation. It's always better to be careful."

If the prop workshop at Oriental Movie Metropolis weren't still incomplete, Li Qiutang really wouldn't have placed the production of the main props in Yanjing and Hengdian.

"We need to notify Hengdian as well."

"clear."

She said she would be back soon, but Li Qiutang stayed in the prop workshop for more than an hour before returning to the hotel.

Liu Yifei had read dozens of pages of the book and was almost asleep while waiting. She had lost all interest in being intimate with her husband on Valentine's Day.

Knock, knock, knock. A knock came at the door.

Liu Yifei knew her husband had returned and replied, "Coming!" Then she muttered, "He didn't bring his room key again. Ugh!"

She was greeted with a large bouquet of bright red roses. Having spent the entire day on set, Li Qiutang only had time to show her affection in the evenings.

"Ah, thank you, honey." Liu Yifei happily accepted the flowers, then turned hostile, "Is this another case of getting a bargain from a flower shop on Valentine's Day when they couldn't sell their flowers?" Li Qiutang had done something like that before.

"Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, yes, yes, why wouldn't I want flowers?" She wasn't particular about such things.

Not only were there flowers, but there were also gifts.

Li Qiutang then took out a flat gift box and presented it: "Take a look."

"Oh—why are you being so attentive this year?" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"What kind of talk is that? Giving your wife a gift on Valentine's Day isn't considered being attentive. Open it and see if you like it."

"You're just trying to coax me." She said, opening the gift box.

Inside was a pair of diamond earrings. (The author couldn't quite describe them, but they were the pair she wore with her white dress at the event in Jiangcheng.)
"Ah, so beautiful." Liu Yifei held the earrings in her hands. "Help me put them on."

"I don't know how." Li Qiutang had put necklaces, rings, and bracelets on women, but never earrings.

"Oh dear, since you gave it to me, of course you should help me put it on."

Li Qiutang had no choice but to take an earring and gently pinch his wife's ear.

"Hehe." She was a little sensitive.

"do not move."

"Ouch—it hurts." Li Qiutang really didn't know how to wear earrings.

"I told you I didn't know how," Li Qiutang gave up. "You do it yourself, and I'll see when you've put it on."

Liu Yifei took the earrings and headed to the bathroom.

"Put it on here, why go to the bathroom?"

But Liu Yifei didn't care, went to the bathroom, and closed the door.

A short while later, Liu Yifei emerged, her footsteps clicking loudly.

High heels, a black bodycon skirt, and Liu Yifei's naturally large, wavy hair...

Who can bear this!
"How is it? Does it look good?" It was also the first time Liu Yifei had dressed like this, and she was a little shy and embarrassed.

“That’s a bit of a foul,” Li Qiutang said, shaking her head.

"You haven't told me yet whether it looks good or not."

“What else is there to say?” Li Qiutang patted her thigh. “Why don’t you come sit over here and let your husband take a good look at you?”
