Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

As a self-proclaimed foodie who has lived in Beijing for several years, Liu Yifei knows exactly where to find good food.

Because Wu Yang's eating habits were similar to hers, she took Wu Yang directly to a private restaurant hidden in a hutong.

The two are public figures after all, and they were on a private date, so they wanted to avoid being followed by paparazzi.

The venue for a date is especially important, and luckily this private restaurant is a private room only.

The service staff were highly professional, and there were no instances of celebrity worship or leaking personal information.

The private room was air-conditioned, blocking out the heat from the outside.

The two leaned against each other, eating and whispering sweet nothings.

Wu Yang mainly did the talking, while Liu Yifei responded. Occasionally, Wu Yang would say something outrageous to promote the development of their relationship.

Whenever this happens, Liu Yifei either ignores him shyly or punches him.

Wu Yang is left-handed, so he put his right arm around Liu Yifei's shoulder without affecting their ability to pick up food.

"Oh dear, filming will start again in another two weeks. I was thinking of going up north with my mom to escape the summer heat."

After eating and drinking their fill, the two snuggled together. Liu Yifei looked up at Wu Yang and complained in a coquettish tone.

"Since you ruined two scripts your agent picked out, I'll naturally make it up to you. How about you arrange a summer team-building trip, have your mother take the team to escape the heat, and we can be together for two months after filming starts?"

Wu Yang glanced down at Liu Yifei, who was smiling, and then his eyes lit up as he came up with a brilliant idea.

"You wish! I know you too well; you're just trying to get rid of my mother."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, picked up the juice on the table, and took a sip.

Wu Yang chuckled: "Then tell me, what am I thinking?"

Putting down her juice glass, Liu Yifei looked at Wu Yang's mischievous grin and reached out to gently pinch his ribs.

"Hiss... Spare me, heroine!"

As their relationship grew closer, even when Liu Yifei was at a loss for words or shy, she would take action.

They're not as reckless as they used to be; now, the punches and kicks feel more like an expression of love.

Regardless of whether it hurts or not, Wu Yang would immediately beg for mercy each time, firstly to give her a way out, and secondly to provide her with sufficient emotional value!

"I'll tell you, I..."

Before she could finish her warning, Wu Yang had already covered her mouth with his.

Wu Yang, pretending to be inexperienced, encountered Liu Yifei, who was genuinely inexperienced, and could only guide her movements.

After a heated exchange, Liu Yifei grabbed Wu Yang's mischievous hand, her pretty face flushed, and leaned back in her chair to take a deep breath.

Faced with the murderous aura in his eyes, Wu Yang chuckled and slapped his right hand, which had just ruined the atmosphere, with his left hand.

"You're quite skilled at it?"

Liu Yifei had her right arm around Wu Yang's neck. Although her eyes were still a little watery, her expression was fierce.

Liu Yifei had learned about Wu Yang's past indirectly, and it turned out that he did not have a clear romantic relationship during his four years at the Beijing Film Academy.

He's been in Hollywood for nine months and hasn't been linked to any romantic relationships.

But his kissing skills and physical abilities just now didn't seem like those of a clueless novice.

"Have you forgotten my profession? In class, we constantly analyze films. Domestic films are lacking in this area, but foreign films don't shy away from it!"

The original owner was indeed a novice, but Wu Yang was a seasoned veteran who had seen it all.

Even if they are the same age and time travelers, the consultations in 2025 far exceed those in 09.

It's hard to say whether it involves time travel; we can only attribute it to foreign movies!

Liu Yifei grew up in the United States and is naturally familiar with foreign films, so although she was not satisfied with the answer, she did not delve into it further.

"I'll let you off this time, but if I find out you've been doing something bad behind my back, you're dead!"

Liu Yifei released Wu Yang's neck, stood up, straightened her messy T-shirt, and took out her makeup box from her bag to touch up her makeup.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer? It's not easy to have a date today."

Wu Yang was reluctant to leave, especially considering the sweltering heat outside and the abundance of tourists.

This place is still the best for dates. There's food and drinks, air conditioning, a private environment, and most importantly, no one to bother you.

"Weren't you going to look at houses? I've already made an appointment with the real estate agent."

Liu Yifei actually wanted to stay with Wu Yang a little longer, but Wu Yang's hands had already started to wander, and she was really afraid that Wu Yang would take advantage of her here.

Liu Yifei was really looking forward to her first time, but she didn't want to choose this place.

But if emotions get too intense, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, so I think it's best to leave as soon as possible.

"All right!"

Haste makes waste, and good things come to those who wait!

Wu Yang got up to pay the bill, and then followed Liu Yifei, who was fully armed, out of the alley and into the G-Class.

After wandering through the streets and alleys, we arrived at a villa area that was somewhat deserted.

……

Wu Yang stood in the hotel's underground parking lot, watching Liu Yifei drive away.

In one afternoon, Wu Yang visited two independent villa areas, which truly broadened his horizons.

You don't know how low your official rank is until you go to the capital; similarly, you don't know how little money you have until you go to a detached villa area.

After nine months, Buried has sold distribution rights to more than 100 countries, plus licenses for various audio-visual products, and box office revenue in China and the United States, bringing its global total to $4842 million.

After deducting the cost of 2000 million, the net profit was 2842 million, and Wu Yang's 10% profit has already been received.

After taxes, Wu Yang has a total of $220 million in disposable wealth.

Converted to RMB, it's only a little over 1500 million, while today Liu Yifei took Wu Yang to see two independent villa areas.

The former is located in Haiding District, with an area of ​​over 1500 square meters and a total price of 5500 million yuan.

The latter is located in Shunyi District, with an area of ​​over 2500 square meters and a total price of 3500 million yuan.

I knew Liu Yifei was arrogant, but I didn't expect her to be this arrogant!

However, these two independent villa areas are indeed very good, with complete security, greenery, environment, and supporting facilities, which are very attractive to Wu Yang.

Moreover, starting this year, housing prices in Beijing have taken off completely, and by the peak in 2017, they will have increased at least three to five times!

"Bought it!"

Wu Yang made up his mind, but when he thought about the money in his pocket, he knew that even if he wanted to buy it, he could only do so by taking out a loan.

The exorbitant interest rates, in turn, fueled Wu Yang's poverty mentality.

In his previous life, he was a lowly laborer earning 3500 a month, and he wasn't going to change his mindset so quickly.

Fortunately, before returning to China, he signed a contract with Leonardo DiCaprio for "Manchester by the Sea," contributing his talent and script for $800 million, plus 20% of the global revenue.

Even after taxes, he would still receive $500 million, which, combined with his existing $220 million, would amount to approximately $5000 million.

As for "Love Like a Bouquet", although it has also completed the signing with China Film Group and Huayi Brothers.

However, the total investment for this film remains at 30 million yuan, with China Film Group investing 3000 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the share, Huayi Brothers investing 1500 million yuan at a premium, accounting for 1500% of the share, and Wu Yang contributing both the script and the cast, accounting for 20% of the share.
