Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 628 A son-in-law is half a son
There are several well-known acting coaches in the industry, such as Zhang Songwen, whose courtyard is very famous, and Li Qiutang often goes there to drink tea; Tian Yu, who is Teacher Wang of Xia Luo, is also quite well-known in the art exam and acting training industry; and Wang Chunzi, a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, who has served as acting coach for many large groups.

However, when the production team of "The Wandering Earth" was looking for an acting coach for Zhao Jinmai, they chose Liu Tianchi from the Central Academy of Drama.

Zhang Songwen and Tian Yu's training sessions tend to favor actors with some acting experience, but Zhao Jinmai knows nothing!

Liu Tianchi, as an academic teacher who teaches students from scratch, knows better what a complete novice is like, so she is more suitable for Zhao Jinmai.

Poor Xiaomai joined the crew more than a month before filming started. In order to wear that protective suit, she had to undergo rigorous physical training every day, run around the industrial park every day, and attend Liu Tianchi's acting classes. Even so, she still had to find time to review her studies because she would be taking the high school entrance exam in two months.

She's only 14 years old!
Li Qiutang visited her every few days in Qingdao and felt that this girl really had the same spirit as Liu Yifei when she was young. She clearly didn't understand anything, but she still gritted her teeth and charged forward.

Liu Tianchi also has his own job, teaching Zhao Jinmai three times a week, each time for about two hours. Li Qiutang does not interfere with Liu Tianchi's teaching of Zhao Jinmai.

Zhao Jinmai certainly couldn't understand!
Even though she was young, she knew that if she accepted a role, she had to finish the job, so she didn't complain.

When Li Qiutang has free time, she also tells Zhao Jinmai about Han Duoduo's story of "The Wandering Earth" to help her understand the character.

Zhao Jinmai asked Li Qiutang to buy her a copy of the original novel of "The Wandering Earth", but Li Qiutang said no need: "The movie story is not completely unrelated to the original novel, but it is completely different. It's useless for you to read it."

Zhao Jinmai didn't care and insisted on reading it, so Li Qiutang had no choice but to print out a few A4 sheets for her. "Oh dear, this novella isn't even worth buying. Just download a pirated copy online and print it. The production team shouldn't waste money on such trivial matters."

After reading it, Zhao Jinmai found that, just as Li Qiutang had said, the novel and the movie script had absolutely nothing to do with each other in terms of story!

Li Qiutang was in seclusion in Qingdao preparing for her new film, until she was startled by the news of Bai Baihe's "one-finger Zen" incident, and realized that she had been in the Oriental Movie Metropolis for more than ten days.

Bai Baihe is arguably the most sought-after actress in recent years, and one of the few actresses who can drive box office success.

No one expected this to happen to her.

Although it was later confirmed that she had agreed to divorce her husband in 15, such a scandalous affair still seriously affected her work.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a disaster. From then on, Bai Baihe lost her box office appeal, and audiences no longer trusted her.

From box office queen to scandalous leading lady, it all came down to just two photos.

This photo was leaked by Zhuo Wei, and I don't know why it wasn't bought out.

Or rather, Zhuo Wei really does have some paparazzi professionalism; he dares to expose juicy stories, unafraid of offending people, and doesn't pretend to blackmail artists for buyouts.

Bai Baihe's incident has nothing to do with Li Qiutang, but it reminds him that he hasn't seen his wife for over a week and doesn't even know where Liu Yifei is now.

So, he picked up the phone and called his wife.

The person who answered the phone was her assistant, Cindy, who said that Liu Yifei was currently in Shanghai, attending Bulgari's new product exhibition. Although she had an endorsement deal with CICC, she still received an invitation from Bulgari.

"Is there anything you want me to tell her?" Liu Yifei is currently at the event.

"It's nothing, she's fine as long as she's at the event," Li Qiutang said before hanging up the phone.

I don't know who spread the rumor, but Liu Yifei is pregnant.

In a recent interview on the show "Now I'll See You," Liu Yifei said that having children depends on timing and fate. However, despite this, rumors continue to circulate that she is pregnant.

She's been missing for over four months, something must have happened.

No, she disappeared for four months to film "The Butterfly Lovers". It's an art film with a long filming period and not that much attention. How could that make her pregnant?
Even if she's pregnant, it's perfectly normal, she's been married for a year and a half.

But female celebrities getting pregnant is always a hot topic, and reporters love to follow this kind of news.

Liu Yifei attended a Bulgari event today, wearing a white dress and looking slender, effectively refuting pregnancy rumors. She even stated, "Even if I were pregnant, it wouldn't be surprising news."

By the way, her dress today wasn't very nice; I wonder who chose it for her.

After the event, Liu Yifei was told by her assistant that her husband had called. Liu Yifei called back, but the phone rang for a long time before being answered.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Who is it? Aren't you going to check the caller ID? Me," Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Oh, is something the matter?"

"You called me and asked if I was okay." Liu Yifei knew what her husband was thinking. "After being cooped up in Qingdao for more than ten days, have you almost forgotten you have a wife?"

"You're being too distant. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"I still have half a day of work tomorrow, I'll come see you after that."

Li Qiutang retorted stubbornly, "I'm enjoying myself in Qingdao all by myself, I don't need you to come with me."

Liu Yifei said, "I wanted to come, okay? I wanted to see my husband who works so hard for the family and the company, okay?"

"If that's how you put it, then I'll reluctantly let you come."

"What a character." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes over the phone, then said, "I have something to tell you. My mom recently told me she wants to buy some financial product with a 13% return."

Hearing this, Li Qiutang could tell that her mother-in-law had probably been scammed, and said, "What kind of investment has such high returns? It's obviously a scam. Is it an online investment platform?"

"Yes." Liu Yifei didn't understand these things, so she came to ask her husband.

This is just P2P.

"I work hard all day long to run my company. What is my annual return? Don't invest. You're greedy for their interest, but they want your principal. If they run away with your money, where will you find them?"

Liu Yifei also said, "That's what I said too, don't touch these things. My mom probably wasn't sure either, so she told me that."

Li Qiutang added, "Your mother is the same. It's fine to buy houses, shops, and office buildings all the time, why does she get involved in these things?" Liu Xiaoli's financial management skills are not very good, buying houses is the safest option, and she does it the most.

Li Qiutang had no interest in real estate, but his mother-in-law made a fortune by taking advantage of the real estate boom in recent years.

Li Qiutang knew that buying a house wouldn't be a loss, so she didn't say anything.

But it's best to avoid other financial products.

"I guess they were fooled by someone."

Li Qiutang's first suspect was Godfather Chen, a troublemaker who was currently engrossed in playing with his dogs at his estate. But who knew what he had said to Liu Xiaoli?

He didn't say much about Godfather Chen's affairs, only instructing Liu Yifei to keep a close eye on her mother.

“A son-in-law is like half a son. Sometimes my words don’t carry any weight. You have to say it.” Liu Xiaoli only has one child, and Li Qiutang doesn’t have a brother-in-law either, so his words do carry weight.

"You speak first. If your words don't work, then the son-in-law will step in."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.
