Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 229 So this is a husband-and-wife business!

The premiere is about to begin.
The two women parted ways and went to their respective seats.

The most important people at this premiere were undoubtedly the two kung fu kings.
The entire premiere focused primarily on the two of them, using their interaction to boost viewership and promote the film.

Liu Yifei was positioned at the edge of the stage, and the camera only occasionally focused on her, with even less screen time than Li Bingbing. This was undoubtedly due to Huayi's intervention.

Huayi's stingy behavior only reflects the company's inherent stinginess.

For Liu Yifei, it not only had no impact, but it even allowed her to happily slack off.

After all, she no longer needs to care about this level of exposure.

At the end of the premiere,
Zhang Liangying took the stage and sang "HEROES," the ending theme song from The Forbidden Kingdom.
This song features rap, a genre that Zhang Liangying isn't particularly skilled at, and it didn't generate much buzz.

But what can you do when Huayi gave so much?
After the premiere,
As a global premiere ceremony

At least they showed the full movie of The Forbidden Kingdom once, and the noise gradually subsided.

"The work is finally finished!"

As soon as Liu Yifei entered the private room of the hot pot restaurant, she immediately took off her mask and happily stared at the hot pot broth that had just been served, where small bubbles were gradually rising.

Zhang Liangying was standing next to her, typing on her phone, seemingly replying to someone's message.

The two of them had changed out of their glamorous formal wear and back into their usual casual clothes, finally giving Liu Yifei a chance to relax and let her hands rest on her shoulders.

I didn't hear a reply from my best friend.
Liu Yifei turned her head and glanced at her: "Who are you texting with?"

Zhang Liangying said without looking up, "My boyfriend asked me why I didn't go to the cocktail party after the premiere."

Liu Yifei knew that Zhang Liangying's boyfriend, Feng Ke, was also Zhang Liangying's manager.
Therefore, she had no doubts about why her boyfriend would care about Zhang Liangying's work.

She looked at her assistant with a puzzled expression: "There's this part too?"

"Yes!" the assistant replied immediately. "The company declined, saying that there were no worthwhile relationships to maintain at the party."

"Oh."

Liu Yifei nodded.

Zhang Liangying held the phone, slightly taken aback.

There were quite a few people at the party.

Entertainment industry moguls like the two kings of Huayi Brothers, Hollywood directors, and stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li, etc.

A cocktail party of this scale,

Is it really true that they have no interpersonal relationships worth maintaining?

She even felt a little envious of Liu Yifei's carefree situation.
Having your own mom as your agent is such a great way to protect yourself!

She sent text messages for a while before putting down her phone.

Liu Yifei was still staring at the hot pot broth when she noticed her actions: "Finally finished talking?"

"I guess so," Zhang Liangying said somewhat awkwardly. "He heard that I had dinner with you and asked me to ask you if Gu Bei still has any songs similar to Love Story."

Liu Yifei immediately thought of "Let it Go".

However, this song was written by Gu Bei specifically for her, perfectly matching her state of mind; she was his most precious treasure.

Her motivation to improve her singing skills now is so that she can sing this song better in the future.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Zhang Liangying waved her hand, then looked at Liu Yifei with a wistful expression, "You've kept me in suspense for so long, now you should be able to tell me, right?"

"Didn't you just mention his name?"

Liu Yifei said with a slightly shy expression.

"Who? Gu Bei!"

Zhang Liangying was startled and almost jumped up from her chair. She said excitedly, "I didn't expect that the rumors about you and Gu Bei were actually true! I originally thought it was just the media making things up again, and I didn't even call you to ask."

I absolutely love Gu Bei's song "Love Story," especially the line... "Why are you looking at me like that?"

As Zhang Liangying spoke,

I noticed that Liu Yifei's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed.
It exuded a faint aura of danger.

"What's wrong with me?"

Liu Yifei looked slightly puzzled.

"You didn't see the look in your eyes just now."
Tsk tsk tsk... That's a bit scary, like the disdain from the empress in a palace drama.

Zhang Liangying looked at Liu Yifei and shook her head, "Originally, I still had some doubts..."
Seeing that you get jealous so easily just because I praised your boyfriend, I finally believe in your relationship.

Our Little Dragon Girl has truly fallen in love this time!

"Jealous? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Liu Yifei raised her face slightly.
Absolutely refuse to admit a single thing!
"Shall I praise him a little more?" Zhang Liangying said with a smile, "Gu Bei..."

It's just the beginning.

This earned him a light punch from Liu Yifei.
Zhang Liangying touched her arm: "You're hitting much harder than before."

The two played around for a while before starting to eat.

"By the way, did you receive an invitation to the opening ceremony on the 29th?"

Liu Yifei was thinking about the press conference at the end of the month, so she naturally wanted her best friend to come over.

"No, your Gu Bei made quite a big fuss this time."

Zhang Liangying shook her head. "I heard that quite a few big names in the film and television industry will be attending, and some major projects will be announced. I'm not in the film and television industry, so naturally I'm not qualified to get in."

After a pause, she smiled and looked at Liu Yifei: "But now that I know the boss's wife, getting an invitation shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Liu Yifei has been teased about it a few times, and now she's immune to it.

She looked at her assistant and said, "Send an invitation to Liangying in the name of the studio."

She then explained to Zhang Liangying, "I will be joining the company under the name of my studio, so you have to keep this a secret for me for now!"

"So this is a husband-and-wife business!"

Zhang Liangying immediately became interested.
She is currently discussing setting up a company with Feng Ke, but unexpectedly Liu Yifei beat her to it and directly set up a husband-and-wife shop with Gu Bei.

"What kind of husband-and-wife shop is this?!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at her, "I didn't ask for any shares in his company. It's just that his company holds shares in the studio. We're just business partners."

"He offered it to you and you didn't want it?" Zhang Liangying asked, puzzled.

"I don't want to!"

Even if we were to get married in the future, let alone just be boyfriend and girlfriend now, I wouldn't want anything that isn't mine.

Liu Yifei stated firmly, "He worked hard to establish and operate the company, so the profits naturally belong to him."

The studio is the result of my work; it belongs to me.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liangying showed a thoughtful expression.

Why are Liu Yifei and Gu Bei's accounts completely different from Feng Ke's?

Before she could think it over carefully,
Suddenly, Liu Yifei's assistant said, "Boss, have you forgotten? The studio's shares are held by Director Liu, and Director Liu owns shares in the company."

Director Liu... isn't that my mother, Liu Xiaoli?
Liu Yifei sighed and rubbed her forehead.
My assistant ruined my plans!
