Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

As an Oscar-winning director, Wu Yang, having gained the approval of his American father, enjoys superior treatment.

Liu Yifei, who recently became a wife, appeared at the event the next day. Even with light makeup and a very conservative dress, she still outshone everyone else!

She outshone several top actresses of the same type!

Today, Liu Yifei possesses both the charm of a mature woman and the youthful charm of a girl. Coupled with her radiant appearance and the currently showing movie, she ignited the entire audience as soon as she stepped onto the stage.

Extremely popular and sought-after, that's a perfect description of Liu Yifei.

The heads of major international brands have all focused their attention on Liu Yifei.

Various commercial performance and brand collaboration invitations followed one after another.

Their endorsement fees are even comparable to those of the "Four Dan Actresses and Two Bing Actresses," leaving other post-85s actresses far behind.

He has several second- and third-tier brand endorsements that haven't expired yet, making the brands he endorses extremely happy.

Many people sent invitations to Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei was originally a Buddhist, and after she and Wu Yang had consummated their marriage.

She seemed very clingy, not wanting to be separated from Wu Yang for even a moment, and even wanted to bring Wu Yang along when attending events.

This has led second- and third-tier brands to want to invite Liu Yifei to their year-end promotional events.

They could only grit their teeth and keep raising Liu Yifei's appearance fee and related benefits.

With Liu Yifei's current popularity and influence, she can help second- and third-tier brands upgrade their status.

Merchants are profit-driven; they won't do business that loses money.

……

March 1, 2010, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! Cancel all of them! I don't want to go out for the next few days!"

Holding invitations from various brands, Liu Yifei leaned against Wu Yang with a look of utter despair.

Faced with the pleading looks from Liu Yifei's management team, Wu Yang simply closed his eyes and rested.

Yesterday was the Lantern Festival. Wu Yang and Liu Yifei practiced a few moves together and went to bed a little late.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, Liu Yifei's management team, led by Taozi, came to block the door.

Liu Yifei is currently in the "morning grumpiness" phase, while Wu Yang, although not in the "morning grumpiness" phase, is still very unhappy about having her sweet dreams disturbed.

In fact, Wu Yang knew in his heart that Liu Yifei just didn't want to be separated from him and was just throwing a tantrum.

Because on March 5th, which is five days from now, Wu Yang will lead his team to the United States to do post-production work on the film.

Once the two are separated, they won't see each other for at least several months.

Because Liu Yifei's brand recommendation events are already booked for three months from now, and that doesn't even include the script invitations.

If you take on a role during this period, the separation could last for six months or even a year.

Having reached the point of deep infatuation and enjoying each other's company, Liu Yifei naturally didn't want to be separated from Wu Yang.

If it weren't for her management team relying on her for their livelihood, and if it weren't for Liu's mother's dissuasion, she would have wanted to give up everything and run off to America with Wu Yang.

In the previous week, Wu Yang had already accompanied her to ten brand promotion events in Beijing.

Now, there are no invitations from the capital, and the nearest one is in Tianjin. Today is the opening day of Wu Yang's film studio.

She had no choice but to ask Wu Yang to accompany her again, so her face was full of resistance.

But it was she and her mother who decided to entrust all their schedules, except for accepting roles in dramas, to their management team.

Since a contract has already been signed, as a public figure, one cannot simply break the contract.

At 7:50 a.m., Wu Yang and Liu Yifei bid each other a reluctant farewell outside the villa.

"You'd better keep a clean record when you go to America. If I see any more scandals about you, you're dead!"

……

"Thanks, boss!"

The title "boss" originated with Pang Hai, because Wu Yang's age was similar to that of Pang Hai and the others.

The entire studio was empty except for the accountant auntie who only appeared at the end of the month.

There is only one receptionist stationed at the studio, while Wu Yang and his eight behind-the-scenes team members basically operate in unison.

So in private, these eight people followed Pang Hai in calling Wu Yang "Boss," which made their relationship seem very close.

At work, we call him Director Wu again, as this formal title sounds more respectful.

Because Wu Yang brought them back to the capital the day before the Lunar New Year, by which time the studio had already closed for the holiday.

Today, on the first day of work, Wu Yang gave everyone a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan as a New Year's bonus.

So the accountant, Aunt Li Chunxia, ​​and the receptionist, Zhang Lan, also joined in the commotion.

The entire studio serves only Wu Yang, so the annual meeting is very simple.

There are no filming plans for the time being this year. Wu Yang will be taking the entire team with him on this trip to the United States.

Post-production costs are also part of the film investment, now that a mature behind-the-scenes team is available.

Wu Yang naturally wouldn't turn away the income he had earned, after all, this team also needed to be supported.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think more about these brothers.

As soon as the meeting ended, Li Chunxia happily went home with a red envelope. Ten thousand yuan in 2011 still had considerable purchasing power.

As an accountant, Li Chunxia's monthly salary is only 5000 yuan, but last year's year-end bonus from the studio was just double her salary, which made Li Chunxia very happy.

Moreover, Zhang Lan, who only earns 3000 yuan a month, is now sitting at the front desk, completely excited.

Pang Hai and the others were also very excited, not because of the New Year's red envelopes, but because of what would happen in five days.

They were going to follow Wu Yang to America to continue making money, which was the main reason for their excitement.

Pang Hai was busy booking plane tickets, while Wang Hui and Zhang Qiang were discussing their plans to travel abroad.

Makeup artist Wang Huihui and lighting technician Li Yu were a couple when they were studying at the Beijing Film Academy.

Wang Huihui joined the company first, and then introduced Li Yu to join the company afterward. The two of them just turned 23 this year, one year younger than Wu Yang, but they are already planning to get married.

"You've been hanging around me for five times now. If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, spit it out."

Wang Hao, the script supervisor, is a man of few words. Although he is conscientious at work, he is very quiet in his daily life.

It is said that he failed to make a name for himself despite his outstanding professional skills because of his personality.

However, his homeroom teacher appreciated this personality, so when Tian Zhuangzhuang was selecting behind-the-scenes personnel, he specifically recommended Wang Hao.

This gave me the opportunity to participate in Wu Yang's film, and I seized the opportunity to successfully sign a contract with the studio.

They had known each other for over a year, and Wu Yang was very confident in Wang Hao's work abilities.

This personality trait sometimes makes him seem unsociable, which gives Wu Yang a headache.

Today's opening meeting was not very important. The reason everyone stayed was just to get together after the New Year.

Wu Yang and editor Zhao Xiaoguang were just discussing editing matters when Wang Hao came and wandered around here four times.

Each time, he hesitated to speak, and then returned to his workstation in a sullen mood.

When he came to Wu Yang's side for the fifth time and once again showed a hesitant expression, Wu Yang could no longer hold back.

"Boss, I have a friend who's a very talented screenwriter. He's written a great script and is currently seeking investment. I'd like to ask you for help."
