Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 303: A Thousand Miles of Time is the Most Worthwhile Bet
On March 23, Liu Shishi continued her day of freeloading with the film crew.

Xiao Liu was still working behind the scenes, observing and learning from the team collaboration that Xiao Yang had orchestrated.

The phone rang.

After she answered the phone, Yang Mi's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Senior Sister, I've finished filming."

"I'm on my way to the film set (my dear). I brought you some souvenirs. Wait for me."

Xiao Liu, “…”

That's right. Yang Mi started work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and continued working for more than ten days until the opening banquet of "Dearest".

Returning to the Prankster 2 team on the 14th, it's not surprising that filming wrapped up in a little over a week.

Before she took her first long vacation and slacked off, the 20-episode TV series was already halfway through production.

We'll film all of her scenes again after the New Year; the TV series will be completed very quickly.

As for why the big secret came straight to her after filming?

The biggest surprise for The Secret Now is (Those Years), Liu's next work.

Liu Shishi casually made a few comments and hung up the phone.

As Li Wenyu walked over after finishing a scene, she laughed and said, "You little rascal, instead of focusing on your career on (my daughter's) set, are you seeing any results from the behind-the-scenes collaboration here?"

Liu Shishi hurriedly replied, "Yes, definitely. I feel I've learned a lot more than when I observed and learned from the crews of 'Gone with the Wind' and 'The End of the Road'."

She's just freeloading and hanging around here.

We definitely need to make our stance clear.

Xiao Liu smiled sweetly again and explained, "Tang Wei has been promoted from assistant director to associate director. After all, she has four years of theoretical coursework."

"The competition within the company is too fierce, and she also wants to make a breakthrough in the new field of directing."

The internal competition within the company is now more than just fierce.

From Tang Yan to Tang Wei, Zhang Li, Zhang Meng, and so on.

Many of them are just second- or third-tier companies within the group that are not worth pursuing.

Of the four leading actresses, only one is not from Shi Guang.

All eight beauties had to be transformed into twelve beauties, and the place was basically packed with people.

Liu Yifei, Mao Xiaotong, Nina Dobrev, Reyza, Blake Lively, and others are all candidates for the Twelve Beauties.

A whole bunch of people are vying for the title of one of the Twelve Beauties?!

Strictly speaking, in terms of achievements, Blake Lively is still the lead actress in "The Wolf of Wall Street".

That female lead is just a pretty face, but she's definitely a representative of that kind of role.

How does one portray a vase in a (minor character) story?

With the airing of three seasons (The Big Bang Theory) and the continued support of streaming platforms.

She's vying for the top spot among the rising stars, and her competitiveness is on par with Liu Yifei's.

There are also Zeng Li, Yang Xue, Guo Zhenni, and others who have experienced a surge in popularity.

However, her subsequent rise to fame and career was far less smooth than Jiang Qinqin's.

So, is Tang Wei really planning to immerse himself in directing after being pulled up by Liu Shishi?

This is also a great opportunity for Tang Wei to direct a few good works.

Once a new production team is assembled, she can be given priority to play the female lead.

Old Li chuckled, "Alright, you can control it yourself."

After all, there's still plenty of time, and there's no rush to film (those years).

Besides, Liu Shishi is only 20 years old, which is very young. Most people at this age are still playful.

Dear crew, the next take isn't about Lao Li and Da Meiyuan.

The two had no work assignments at the moment, and Da Meiyuan quickly removed her makeup and came over. "I've been reading what you said (Return to the Ming Dynasty) for the past few days. It's hundreds of thousands of words long, much longer than (The Lost Tomb).

"The kind of story about a modern person traveling back to the Ming Dynasty and getting promoted and made a fortune is quite enjoyable."

"You mean this is the drama king of 07-08? That's so unexpected."

When Lao Li first mentioned the upcoming period drama "King of the New Year" to those around him, he replied that it had only just started airing.

Things are different now. After the book was released on New Year's Day, the author updated very quickly, going from 4000 words to 9000 words per chapter.

After a few months, it had already represented Zhu Houzhao's imperial power by going south to the south.

They clashed with the gentry and civil officials.

This involves the power struggle and conflict between the emperor and his officials.

Then, the emotional storyline bursts forth together.

The thrills are indeed delivered in a series of progressively satisfying moments.

As for the competition that Lao Li handed over to Yang Mi, Zhang Xinyu, and Liu Yifei (online post).

That was a short story, and it's already finished.

Old Li nodded with a smile, "Long novels are indeed becoming more and more popular. The female lead in 'Back to the Ming Dynasty,' Han Youniang, has a delicate and pretty appearance, like a girl from a modest family."

"She's young, which seems quite suitable for Xiao Liqin."

The original story is definitely not suitable for junior high school students.

However, when Li Qin played Han Youniang at 17 or 18, her appearance wasn't as stunning, but her acting skills were decent.

Their approachability is passable.

If a super production is handled well, it could allow Li Qin to debut in a major drama and become a national virtuous wife.

Of course, Liu Shishi could also play this type of role.

From Da Meiyuan to Quan Zhixian, everyone is sporting a bare-faced look with long, straight black hair, looking just like a high school senior.

If Xiao Liu were to play a high school junior or senior, it would feel perfectly natural.

It's just that even the lead actress from "You Are the Apple of My Eye" didn't make a cameo appearance; she went off to become a director.

(Hui Ming) maintains the highest standards and quality control in its production.

It's nothing more than a modern version of "My Love from the Star" or "In the Name of the People".

This held no appeal for Liu Shishi, who had previously played the lead role in Goblin.

After directing "You Are the Apple of My Eye," Liu is now filming "Search."

Her directing career is going more and more smoothly.

Tong Liya said that after filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend," she will take a year and a half off to relax and have some fun.

After a few jokes, Da Meiyuan said happily, "So, will we still have a celebration banquet for (Gone with the Wind) when it breaks 700 million in mainland China? It's broken 700 million in mainland China and 800 million nationwide."

"This is all thanks to the extended screening."

Today is Friday of the eighth week that John Wick 3 has been released in theaters nationwide.

Old Li laughed and said, "Go ahead and do it. Good results should be shown off when the time is right."

After breaking 7 million nationwide, the momentum waned, for example, yesterday, Thursday, the national box office was only over 400 million.

Even if it generates another 10 or 20 million this weekend, it will be difficult to break 8 million in the end.

Reduce the number of films that should be shown.

In contrast, the twelve zodiac animals are relatively stable.

…………

The day's work is over.

When Li Wenyu was arranging for the team to finish work and go home.

Yang Mi has already brought Zhang Xinyu to Liu Shishi's nanny van to get acquainted and curry favor with her.

Especially after learning that (the search result) was also directed by Xiao Liu.

The Big Secret is so eager to take its place.

After the usual flattery and compliments, the senior secretary asked curiously, "Senior Sister, how much wealth do you have now? Moutai's market value was still 120 billion in March."

"Surprisingly, it didn't fall back much; Yunnan Baiyao continues to create mini-peaks."

"Sister Bingbing and Sister Xin must be making too much money."

The post-Lunar New Year drop in Moutai prices was miraculously saved by the lingering effects of The Voice of China.

Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste probably sold quite well in March 2007.

The commercials featuring Da Meiyuan have started airing on various TV stations, including Time Video.

It's perfectly normal for people like Yang Mi and Zhang Xinyu to be curious about Liu Shishi's (the eighth or ninth sister) wealth and health.

Liu Shishi was stunned for a few seconds, "I made less than 6000 million in the stock market, with a net profit of 185%."

"However, the charity fund he asked me to donate to has made a profit of 5000 million in just five months."

The Hang Seng Index is truly bizarre.

Riding the wave of national power, they simply made easy money.

Liu Shishi also knew that when she donated the money, she made sure that the proceeds would go to the charity fund.

Whether the profits are insane or not has little to do with her.

To make a fortune from Apple stock, you'll have to wait until Steve Jobs actually launches the iPhone.

It wasn't just a press conference held in January of this year. Leaving aside the small amount of money, Liu Shishi boasted again, "I'm still waiting for (Those Years) to be a box office hit and for its reputation to improve."

"Wait for Sister Bingbing to announce to the whole internet that she's giving me, the director, a huge red envelope and a villa."

"It's so impressive to have money like that."

My teeth are a little sore from the honey.

Zhang Xinyu is in a similar situation; after all, she is still far from being financially independent.

In her excitement, the senior secretary offered to massage Xiao Liu's shoulders, saying, "Senior sister, can we copy your homework? Just a little bit, please."

Liu Shishi was both amused and exasperated. "You didn't buy Moutai or Yunnan Baiyao? You're asking me about making money; it's not something you can just casually talk about."

"One wrong move could have a huge chain reaction, and I can't afford the consequences."

Her relationship with her best friend has always been alright.

It's not as close as her high school best friend relationship with Jiang Shuying, but it's still second to none.

This was also the first time the top secret agent had asked for information.

But the chain reaction was too much for Liu Shishi's small shoulders to bear.

Once the news gets out, a bunch of people rush to buy something, causing a slight shock that crashes some people's stocks.

If only celebrities are wiped out by a crash, that's one thing, but if ordinary people and ordinary stock investors are affected, then things will get really messed up.

Nobody knows if, after you see yourself making ten million a month by using 20x leverage to buy the Hang Seng Index, a group of people will immediately switch to 100x leverage.

Then there's the risk of going bankrupt and borrowing money to speculate on the Hang Seng Index, leading to financial ruin, suicides, and even jumping off buildings or into the sea.

The 87 stock market crash, the 97 Asian financial crisis, and then the 08 financial crisis.

How many people died?
Although Liu Shishi didn't know about 08, she started buying Hang Seng Index shares.

Old Li had given her detailed instructions several times.

Yang Mi hurriedly slapped herself twice and laughed awkwardly, "When Moutai broke 800 billion, I gritted my teeth and bought 500 million worth."

"We're currently 50% profitable, but we don't know when the price will drop."

"Or when I can earn more. I also bought 500 million worth of Yunnan Baiyao shares. I only got on board when the total market value exceeded 200 billion, following the trend."

Xiao Liu shrugged, "When you realized the opportunity, you didn't have Quan Zhixian's boldness, so you could only miss it."

Tencent's market capitalization has now exceeded HK$600 billion.

Jeon Ji-hyun's initial investment of 1 million won in 2004 grew to over 6 million won.

This is a classic case that is well-known to countless people in the industry.

If you hear about, see, or sense a trend, but don't invest heavily to seize it, you'll miss out.

Of course, Jeon Ji-hyun is a role model in the entertainment industry.

The true representatives of entrepreneurs are Li Wenyu, Zhou Hongyi, and Lei Jun.

These companies hold more than 11%, 5.1%, and 4% of Tencent's shares respectively.

These assets, like Jeon Ji-hyun's, have increased sixfold in market value.

The chief secretary nodded repeatedly, "I'll listen to you. I'll save up money now and wait to invest heavily in Renren or Video Media when they go public."

Liu Shishi, “…”

Xiao Liu couldn't help but think to himself, "You might as well wait until time is far away and then place a big bet."

The only problem is that Qianli's toy division is unlikely to go public.

Li Wenyu's actions at the Qianli branch were so shrewd that even she, someone whose college entrance exam score was probably only 200-300, understood what was involved.

Arms trade.

The influence of military industrial groups on this planet extends to a very complex range of things.

As they chatted, Zhang Xinyu suddenly asked curiously, "Senior Sister, why do I suddenly realize that you seem to have become a little bit more like an older sister?"

Da Mi Mi, "???"

Is this even allowed? What time of day is this?

Liu Shishi wouldn't be foolish enough to undergo surgery to transfer fat like she did.

Xiao Liu immediately became arrogant, "Don't you all see who's been playing all day?"

Even if she fully evolves into Sister C in a while, she still won't be as good as Yang Mi or Zhang Xinyu now.

But she can help Lao Li realize his dream of having no choice in what he drinks.

…………

A few days later again.

June 3.

The production team of (Dearest) is operating smoothly, and the overall production is already more than halfway complete.

Old Li returned to the capital with Da Meiyuan, Liu Shishi, He Qing, and others.

He has finished filming his solo scenes in (Dearest).

Normally, it's a purely dramatic scene, and Lao Li immersed himself in the film crew for half a month before filming wrapped up.

They were all taking their time and shooting steadily.

These days, the brilliance on the big screen is coming to a minor end.

On the small screen, the first and second rounds of rebroadcasts of "Chinese Paladin 3" and "Descendants of the Sun" were shown.

This also allowed the public to enjoy the wonderful performances of several leading actresses.

Yang Mi and the other two beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, along with Liu Yifei, have further increased their popularity on the internet and their public image.

When Lao Li was on the rooftop of the media headquarters building, he saw that many lights had also been turned on in the branch offices not far away. He sipped his hot tea and said with a smile, "A lot of people have moved to the branch offices?"

Fat Bing laughed, "Not too many, not too few. Some on the 6th to 9th floors are okay, but I still want to go to a big office."

It's just a few steps away.

Popularity soared with the global bombardment of games like Hot Iza and John Wick 3.

But she knew she had no advantages and there was no way she could just get on Lao Li's list and go work in the big office.

Cai Shaofen also went to the branch office; this Afen mainly went there with Zhang Jin.

Among the male stars, there are Wen Zhang, Zhang Jin, and Wang Chuanjun.

It's not just that the artist wants to live in a more spacious place; you can stay on the sixth to ninth floors.

Sometimes, even with a group of assistants sharing a ten-square-meter space, it's not enough for them to sit down.

Then, when you're just calling a friend, guests have to go to the public waiting area, which isn't very private.

Old Li took another sip of tea and sighed, "I need to rest for two days before I have to go to the grasslands to visit the set. Xiao Tong has been calling me many times."

"(Dear) It is estimated that filming will wrap up in early April, and post-production will be completed in mid-April to push it out for the May Day holiday."

"This pace is a bit too rushed."

Tong Liya led a team to the grasslands to film outdoor scenes.

They've been gone for more than 20 days.

Liu Shishi has been collecting debts for her for over ten days.

Fat Ice thought for a moment and then retorted, "You're a weirdo too. Do you need to do public relations and medical research to achieve beverage freedom?"

“I’m still young myself, but Sister Xin would love to help you take care of one.”

Li Jiaxin is 37 years old this year.

Putting aside the stunningly beautiful and mature woman in the "friendship mutual assistance template" of Sister Qing.

Ah Xin was the one who most desperately wanted to save lives; it was just that Lao Li had always relied on traditional Chinese medicine for prevention.

She had ideas but was too embarrassed to speak them up.

People's thoughts change a lot at different ages.

So when Fat Bing first learned about a certain thing, she felt that it shattered her worldview.

Xiao Liu took medicine for a month and a half, as well as other physical therapies such as moxibustion and massage.

The milky scent on her body grew stronger and stronger.

Fat Bing couldn't resist the urge to complain.

She and Lao Li are the same age, only 26 this year, living in the mid-to-late 00s.

For people born in the 10s, it's really not that big.

I guess I was just a kid and not mentally prepared.

Lee's Toys' transformation into a military industrial group has gone astray.

Xiao Liu's path of dedication to scientific research is truly unique and extraordinary.

Li Wenyu, "..."

He didn't want to take the blame, but now it seems he can't shake it off.

Because He Qing is also dedicating himself to scientific research, he will only have a maximum of two months.

Sister Qing will also have a sweet aroma.
