Run, Best Actor!

Happy birthday, Mimi!

Having not seen him for a long time, Liu Kaiwei tried his best to appear gentle and refined, saying, "I ordered 9999 roses for you. Do you like them?"

Yeah, this guy really spent money this time.

They actually bought 9999 red roses and decorated various places on the set of "Tiny Times," adding a unique touch to the already extravagant atmosphere of the film crew.

Uh, Y~Mi~

To be honest, it's a bit of a hodgepodge.

However, it seems Guo Jingming quite likes it, as he's grinning broadly.

"Thank you, but what brings you here?"

Yang Mi tried her best to make her tone sound natural.

"What are you saying? I'm your boyfriend, how could I not come to your birthday party?"

Liu Kaiwei smiled gently.

However, Yang Mi felt nauseous upon hearing this.

"Oh, this is so sweet!"

Xie Yilin grinned mischievously, "Honey, you just won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, and now you've received such a heartwarming gift. Aren't you happy?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes twitched slightly.

For the first time, I found this silly, big-hearted woman quite annoying.

With great effort and acting skills, Yang Mi smiled gently and said, "I'm happy, how could I not be? Hey, Yilin, Caijie, Biting, it's my birthday, have you prepared any gifts for me?"

"Of course we're prepared!"

Having been in the industry for several years, Guo Caijie has high emotional intelligence. She subtly sensed that Yang Mi's expression was a little off, so she pulled Xie Yilin aside and said first, "But you know, Mimi, the three of us are far less wealthy than you right now, so we pooled our money to prepare a gift for you."

"Yes, I hope you like it."

Guo Biting replied.

The three of them then took out a gift box and handed it to Yang Mi.

The gift box wasn't big, about the size of a palm.

Yang Mi curiously took it and opened it, discovering it was a pink women's watch.

"A Rolex, a gold watch!"

It was Xie Yilin again, who couldn't keep anything to herself at all, introducing her to Yang Mi as if she were taking credit.

"Thank you, my three dear sisters! This watch must be quite expensive, right?"

Yang Mi asked gratefully in return.

"That's right, we each contributed over 50,000 yuan!"

"I can't be more outspoken," Xie Yilin replied.

"Oh dear, that's really too much trouble for you."

Yang Mi's voice was filled with sincere gratitude.

Although the total price is only around 100,000 yuan, it is indeed a large sum of money for Guo Caijie and her two friends.

Because these three people are actually paid quite little now.

The three of them combined are not as tall as Yang Mi.

Even though Guo Caijie is now a somewhat famous singer, and has won the Best Newcomer Award for Taiwanese Idol Drama, and was also nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the 45th Golden Bell Awards.

But when he came to the mainland, his salary was still withheld.

Not to mention, Guo Biting transitioned from modeling to acting, and Xie Yilin "upgraded" from variety show comedian, so their pay is even lower.

In addition, a large portion of their salaries goes to their management company, leaving them with even less in hand.

At the same time, as artists, their daily expenses are also high, so the three of them have never been very wealthy.

It's probably because Yang Mi brought each of them a Burberry trench coat when she came back from England last time.

When I got back and checked, wow, a set costs twenty or thirty thousand!

Moreover, Yang Mi is very generous on set, always eager to spend money on meals and shopping.

Guo Caijie and the other two felt awkward about refusing, so they pooled their money to buy Yang Mi an expensive gift for her birthday.

Yang Mi really likes the watch.

This is the brand, she thought to herself, and she immediately started to complain.

Rolex, especially a gold watch, gives off a very strong sense of familiarity.

Did you watch too many gangster movies when you were in your hometown?

Are you worried that I won't have any belongings when I "run away" in the future?

Of course, this is a joke.

Yang Mi was deeply grateful that her three girlfriends bought her such an expensive gift.

Moreover, it wasn't just the three of them; most of the main creators of the "Tiny Times" crew prepared birthday gifts for Yang Mi.

Similarly, since I received favors from Yang Mi while filming together before, this is a return gift.

Relatively speaking, it's not very valuable.

Yang Mi isn't picky; as long as the sentiment is there, it's fine.

The more expensive gift here is the one given by director Guo Jingming.

Uh, it's a Prada bag...

Well, Director Guo really likes the domineering CEO trope and believes it can cure all ills?

Fortunately, Yang Mi knew Guo Xiaosi's orientation and wouldn't misunderstand whether he was interested in her.

Yang Mi, for some reason, opened the gift she received on the spot, leaving her "real boyfriend" Liu Kaiwei standing aside.

As Yang Mi continued to unwrap the gifts, Liu Kaiwei's expression gradually darkened.

Although roses are beautiful and expensive, they can only be seen on the day they're displayed, making them more like a one-time decoration.

In terms of price, it's not even as expensive as the watches that Guo Caijie and the other two gave them as gifts.

It's not as practical as the bag Guo Jingming gave me.

Yang Mi silently unwrapped the gift, which was actually an indirect slap in his face.

In the past, Liu Kaiwei would have definitely exploded.

However, Liu Kaiwei always behaved very well in front of outsiders, and this time he came to try his best to win back Yang Mi's heart, so he was still silently enduring it.

The main issue is that Yang Mi is different now.

With the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress secured, Yang Mi can now publicly declare herself a talented actress, and few will disagree.

If you want to refute this, go and prove the Golden Eagle Award's prestige first!

This situation actually widens the gap between the two.

Liu Kaiwei was very flustered.

He's genuinely afraid that Yang Mi will disregard everything and announce their breakup publicly.

After that, "The Summer of Love" would just be stuck in our hands!

For Yang Mi now, it's no big deal; she doesn't need this one more project.

Even though the producers, Huanrui and Mei Ah Entertainment, are dissatisfied, they won't criticize Yang Mi too much now, considering the Golden Eagle Award.

Especially since Huanrui already has a guaranteed minimum—the upcoming drama "Swords of Legends" starring Yang Mi and Liu Taile, which is a sure hit, so even if "The Summer of Love" flops, it won't be a big deal.

As for Mei Ya, Yang Mi is destined to leave the Hong Kong entertainment circle now, so how can anyone control her?

But this result was something Liu Kaiwei could never accept.

The previous movie, "HOLD LOVE," was a box office flop because Yang Mi didn't participate.

The main distributor was also stubborn, scheduling it for release at the same time as "The Dark Knight Rises," only four days earlier than that film.

Unsurprisingly, on its fifth day of release, the movie "HOLD LOVE" suffered a box office collapse, with daily earnings falling below one million...

The original timeline was able to rake in over 26 million yuan at the box office on its opening day thanks to the "Wei-Mi Love" movie, and the final box office exceeded 40 million yuan.

In this timeline, the total box office was cut by more than half, and has not yet exceeded 20 million.

Compared to investing, it was an absolute disaster.

Liu Kaiwei, as the producer, is largely to blame and will likely never be able to hold that position again.

Even more seriously, he might not be able to act in movies anymore.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot give up this relationship now.

There were too many gifts, and Yang Mi didn't open them all. She asked Sun Ting to keep the rest for her and take them back to her room to continue opening them.

"Thank you all for your kind wishes. I'm truly happy to have this birthday!"

Facing the entire crew, Yang Mi clasped her hands together and thanked everyone.

"Honey, this is also to celebrate that you just won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress."

Guo Xiaosi responded with a smile, "That's great news! It's a real morale booster for all of us!"

That's right! The movie starring the newly crowned Golden Eagle Award-winning actress will definitely sell better than before when it's released!

After the controversy surrounding the replacement of the role of Gu Yuan, this good news truly pulled the atmosphere of the "Tiny Times" crew out of its slump.

If there hadn't been so many people around, Guo Jingming would have loved to hug Yang Mi and give her a passionate kiss!

Well, thankfully he didn't do that, otherwise Yang Mi might not have reacted so strongly...

"Yes, thank you again everyone!"

Yang Mi smiled sweetly, "Well, I just got back today, please allow me to tidy up a bit, and we'll continue our hard work tomorrow!"

Okay, I understand.

Guo Xiaosi glanced at Liu Kaiwei with a suggestive look in his eyes, "Mimi, you should rest well today. We'll continue filming tomorrow."

"Okay, Director Guo."

Yang Mi nodded gratefully to Guo Xiaosi, then pulled Liu Kaiwei away.

This brought smiles to the faces of many members of the crew.

However, these people were wrong.

Back in her hotel room, Yang Mi's expression immediately changed. "Hey, Liu, what are you doing here?"
