Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

The Spring Festival Gala has come to an end.

But the aftereffects of the Spring Festival Gala have only just begun!
The 2008 Spring Festival Gala achieved record-breaking viewership, with its signal reaching more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.

Chinese people all over the world can basically watch this year's Spring Festival Gala!
The disaster relief segment of the gala resonated strongly and became one of the most heartwarming parts of the Spring Festival Gala.

The programs on the Spring Festival Gala have also become a hot topic of discussion.

The most heated discussion was about Zhao Benshan's "Torchbearer"!
If you were to say it was bad, it wouldn't really be bad; it was just average, about the level of a typical Spring Festival Gala skit.

The problem is that the performer of this skit is Zhao Benshan, the king of Spring Festival Gala skits!

People have extremely high expectations for Zhao Benshan's sketches!

Therefore, this time it was also completely devastated.

Zhao Benshan also had his own unspeakable grievances.

Fortunately, although Zhao Benshan's show wasn't outstanding, there were other shows that helped him out.

The most obvious example of this is Liu Yifei's sword dance.

This program, which was added at the last minute, received rave reviews.

The ratings curve doesn't lie; when Liu Yifei appeared on stage, the ratings showed a significant increase.

The crowd gradually returned to normal after Liu Yifei finished her performance.

The influence of the Spring Festival Gala has also begun to extend to Liu Yifei's films.

"Liu Yifei is so cool!"

"Forget about those foreigners, I want to learn it after seeing it!"

"Liu Yifei's sword dance was the best performance of this year's Spring Festival Gala, and I won't accept any arguments against it!"

"I originally wanted to criticize the Spring Festival Gala production team, but I'll let it go since they invited Liu Yifei."

"Let's go to Liu Yifei's movie premiere today!"

"We must support it! No Chinese film has ever topped the North American box office before!"

"I've already snagged two tickets for the best viewing area on Maoyan!"

"I'm so lucky, I only managed to get a corner seat in the first round!"

"I've already left for the movie theater!"

……

Online, the harsher the criticism of Zhao Benshan, the more exaggerated the praise for Liu Yifei.

This wave of attention flowed smoothly to Liu Yifei.

On Maoyan, every screening of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" has been sold out!
This is a scenario that has never occurred since the Cat's Eye system was first implemented.

This situation was also posted online by reporters.

The hashtag #DunhuangCodeSoldOut# has been trending on the front page.

It was a full house!

Because audience members took photos at the cinema, and the theater was packed!

Although "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" did not hold a premiere, Liu Yifei and her entourage randomly appeared in various cinemas in Beijing on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Although Liu Yifei had only slept for a few hours, she was still full of energy!

Accompanied by the cinema manager, Liu Yifei arrived outside the screening room of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road".

The big screen was showing Liu Yifei's fierce battle against the bandits.

There were gasps of surprise from the crowd.

"Teacher Liu, we have already increased the number of screenings, but every show is still sold out. We are preparing to increase the number of screenings even further."

The cinema manager was also somewhat excited.

The revenue that a blockbuster movie can bring is unimaginable.

Liu Yifei's random appearances in cinemas will further encourage moviegoers to go to the theaters.

As the movie ended and the audience prepared to leave, Liu Yifei suddenly appeared on stage.

"Ah! Consort Liu!"

The crowd immediately became excited.

"Please, everyone, return to your seats. Sorry to bother you for a moment!"

Liu Yifei took the microphone and began to take charge of the situation.

The audience members were well-mannered and sat back down with excited expressions.

"Thank you, thank you everyone! I am Liu Yifei, and I am here today to express my gratitude for your support of 'Dunhuang Code: The Light of the Silk Road'!"

Liu Yifei bowed to the audience.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Liu Yifei, can we see your sword dance live?" A bold young man in the middle shouted.

His request was quickly met with a response from the entire audience!

A chance to see Liu Yifei's sword dance in person!

"Of course, but due to time constraints, I can only demonstrate a short segment!"

Liu Yifei did not refuse.

They had even anticipated this before they came, so they carried their precious sword with them at all times.

Liu Yifei took off her coat, revealing that she was wearing the same outfit she wore on the Spring Festival Gala stage!
"Wow!"

Everyone became excited.

The stage in a movie theater is naturally incomparable to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

But for Liu Yifei, that was enough.

Footage of Liu Yifei performing a sword dance at the movie theater was quickly uploaded to the internet.

Countless artists envy and are jealous of those people's good fortune.

Then everyone called out to Liu Yifei, asking where her next stop would be.

Enlight Media quickly issued a statement saying that Liu Yifei's schedule was randomly selected, and theoretically, any cinema in Beijing could be a potential venue.

As a result, moviegoers have been urging theaters to increase the number of screenings of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road".

Tickets are extremely hard to come by.

If you can't even buy a movie ticket, how can you expect to see Liu Yifei live?

Major cinema chains naturally wouldn't turn down money, and within the scope permitted by policy, they will maximize the number of screenings.

Liu Yifei also activated the endless flash mode.

One minute they were in a movie theater in Dongcheng, and the next they were in a movie theater in HD District.

Performing sword dances in the movie theater has also become a regular part of Liu Yifei's repertoire.

Stimulated by Liu Yifei's flash mob performance, the box office of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" exploded!

However, Liu Yifei really works hard under this system.

Hu Ge and the others wanted to help Liu Yifei, but unfortunately, their influence was too weak.

Even when they went on a promotional tour as a group, they couldn't compare to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei leaned back in the van seat, looking exhausted.

"Sisi, let's rest for a bit."

The assistant looked at Liu Yifei with some pity.

Liu Yifei opened her eyes and smiled slightly. "I'll just rest in the car. I don't want to disappoint my fans."

Despite her gentle and mild-mannered demeanor, Liu Yifei is actually very opinionated.

Even the assistant couldn't do anything about Liu Yifei.

I had no choice but to report to Chen Siyuan.

"Is Sisi still doing a flash mob?"

Liu Xiaoli also looked at Chen Siyuan with concern.

The antique clock on the wall just struck the hour.

It's 11 p.m.

Chen Siyuan nodded.

He had just received a message from Liu Yifei's assistant.

"Siyuan, why don't you talk to Qianqian? Even if you're doing promotional work, it can't be done in a day. Your health is the most important thing..."

Chen Siyuan hugged Liu Xiaoli, "Have you noticed that Qianqian has grown up!"

Liu Xiaoli was taken aback when she heard this.

“In the past, Sisi would just do whatever we arranged, but this flash mob was Sisi’s own idea!”

Chen Siyuan was also somewhat moved.

Liu Yifei, who had always lived under his wing, has learned to soar on her own after the Spring Festival Gala.

"I respect Sisi's choice!"

Everyone has the right to choose, including Liu Yifei.

Chen Siyuan looks forward to Liu Yifei's growth!
