Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

Chapter 108: How Much Did the Golden Horse Awards Sell?

April 9th, 11:00 AM.

September in Taiwan is unbearably hot. The scorching sun blankets the entire Taoyuan International Airport, and the air in the plaza in front is distorted by the heat.

Of course, there was also a beautiful sight to behold: those Taiwanese girls in short skirts and V-necks were incredibly confident and stylish, making them a sight to behold in the square!

"Keep watching, keep watching!"

"Hiss!"

In the ticket hall of the front square, Yi Fei, heavily armed, was sitting on her suitcase, holding Ye Chong's ear with one hand.

"Sister, spare me!"

"Hmph!" Yifei irritably let go of him.

When celebrities travel, they naturally need to disguise themselves in order to avoid causing a sensation.

Despite being dressed very conservatively, Ye Chong's eyes began to wander around.

"Ouch—" Ye Chong rubbed his ears, looked up with a wronged expression, "Sister, I was just looking at outfits, I'll give you some recommendations later."

"Me?" Yifei pointed to her nose, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Do I need to be picky about my taste?"

Ye Chong scratched his head and turned to look at Liu's mother beside him: "Has she always been this confident?"

Liu's mother rolled her eyes: [Don't ask me.]

Fine.

Ye Chong sniffed and said no more.

In his past life, the most he saw of Yifei were black and burgundy down jackets, or leaked photos of her in jeans.

Not to mention the Golden Eagle Goddess—everyone was completely silent!

Just as Ye Chong was lost in thought, Ang Lee's assistant walked in, wiping sweat from his brow. "Director Lee, Director Ye, the car is here."

Behind them, Li An stood up and beckoned everyone to walk outside.

"Let's go!" Ye Chong bent down and patted Yi Fei's leather drum. The latter wrinkled her nose and handed him her suitcase.

The group began to move.

The reason for making things so complicated was that Ang Lee received news that the airport's underground parking lot was already full of media.

If Ang Lee were traveling alone, it wouldn't be a problem for him to give an interview, but as the host, he brought a bunch of guests with him!

At noon, the group arrived at the Kodak Hotel.

In the lobby on the first floor, Ye Chong saw off Li An's assistant and then turned to walk towards the restaurant.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, all four actors were already seated at a large round table.

Ye Chong went straight to Yi Fei's side and sat down, glancing at Liu's mother's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Hmm — no expression.

He's been trying to win over his mother-in-law lately, but so far there's been no progress.

Liu Xiaoli was determined. Although she wouldn't interfere, she wouldn't fully accept Ye Chong until he changed.

"Here, eat!"

Yi Fei nudged the rice in front of Ye Chong, her face showing a faint indifference.

Ye Chong couldn't understand why she was upset. He looked around but couldn't find anyone to gather information from.

He picked up a slice of carrot and put it in Yifei's bowl, then leaned in and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yifei glanced at him but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Huang Bo, who is usually quite emotionally intelligent, suddenly interjected.

"Director Ye."

"Um?

Ye Chong frowned and looked over. Huang Bo, who was opposite him, seemed oblivious to his displeasure and continued to ask, "How much did our film sell for?"

"2400".

Everyone present froze in shock!

"Ten thousand? US dollars?"

"What else?"

Ye Chong rarely acted so mischievously.

Everyone here is one of our own, and this isn't something to hide or be ashamed of.

"Who bought it?"

Ye Chong glared at Huang Bo.

That's a secret.

Huang Bo stammered twice and didn't dare to say anything more.

The $2400 million price tag was actually a package deal, including the rights to screen in Europe and America and the rights to adapt the film.

The European-style narrative pace and the fashionable and novel subject matter make this film very popular.

A rather bland lunch.

At 2 p.m., Ye Chong learned the reason for Yi Fei's little mood.

"Are you leaving?"

At the entrance of the Kodak Hotel, Ye Chong blocked Yi Fei's luggage, confronting the mother and daughter.

"Hmm!" After a nap, Yifei's emotions were much more stable.

Why?

Yifei pouted and gave him a reproachful look.

"Because 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' is coming out, you idiot!"

"How long?" Ye Chong had a bad feeling.

"December, I guess?" Yifei tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I'm going back now for two reasons: first, to prepare for the two endorsements I already signed, and second, to prepare for the roadshow in October."

After saying that, Yifei stood on tiptoe and patted Ye Chong's big head: "Be good, come find your sister again when we get back to the capital."

"I----"

Ye Chong wanted to interact with Yi Fei a bit more, but after glancing at Liu's mother out of the corner of his eye, he had no choice but to bend down and pick up Yi Fei's luggage.

"I send you."

Yifei pursed her lips, and a gentle smile slowly spread across her eyes.

Liu's mother behind him also looked much more relaxed.

If Ye Chong were to persist during this period, even without Liu's mother, Yi Fei would be disappointed in him.

They're not children, do they have to be inseparable?

They have already pushed back many things, all of which are debts owed by the former Red Star Dock.

At 3 p.m., Ye Chong saw the mother and daughter off onto the plane.

On the way back, he sighed several times in the car.

At that moment, he desperately wanted to take out a cigarette and smoke it, but he couldn't.

The rumors circulating outside that my sister smokes are actually false.

They were just doing it for the film crew; they weren't actually addicted to smoking.

At least in the years they've spent together, he's never seen Sisi smoke.

"I've quit smoking and drinking, it's a small matter."

Quitting smoking is a minor matter; Yifei's future development is the real issue.

Yifei had no choice but to go back today; the brand was pressuring her urgently.

Actually, she could go back in a few days, but no one dared to persuade her, and Ye Chong was the least likely to persuade her.

Firstly, she had run away from home in the first place, intending to reconcile with him.

Secondly, there are her endorsements.

In this life, the fairy sister has not yet made a name for herself in the fashion world. Not only does she have few endorsements, but they are also mostly small, insignificant brands.

Fashion resources, to some extent, determine a female star's true status. Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing have fought quite a bit over fashion resources!

Looks like I need to think of something.

That night, the crew fell silent.

Without Yifei, Ye Chong couldn't be happy, and the crew was also lifeless.

At seven o'clock the next morning, someone knocked on Ye Chong's door.

The awards ceremony was in the evening, so Ye Chong didn't want to waste the daytime.

"Director Ye." Shen Ze walked in carrying a brand new document.

Ye Chong took the document, turned around and sat down on the sofa, while Shen Ze picked up his cup and started making coffee.

"Kung Fu Hustle, A World Without Thieves, Election ————"

These films are strong contenders for this year's Golden Horse Awards.

"Front—" Ye Chong glanced at Shen Ze, who was walking over with a cup of coffee.

In its previous life, "Kung Fu Hustle" won two major awards. It's worth mentioning that Stephen Chow didn't appear in that previous life.
