Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

After "Our Times" was officially submitted for review, Xu Heng had nothing to do for the time being.

So he attended classes for a few days, while also preparing for the final exams.

Because of the school closure, the final exams for this semester were also postponed, and the final performance was also canceled, but we still need to prepare a performance.

Liu Yifei was also preparing for a performance, so much so that they met twice in the rehearsal room.

Every time they met, Liu Yifei was accompanied by a male classmate, Zhu Yawen.

Because Liu Yifei frequently took leave, the homeroom teacher specially arranged for Zhu Yawen to partner with her in rehearsing the program. Liu Yifei had mentioned this to him.

Xu Heng even remembered the rumor from his previous life that Zhu Yawen had a crush on Liu Yifei.

And Zhu Yawen, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, refuses to let anyone sit on the bed that has been made.

Jiang Yiyan, who was also in the same class, sat down for a moment, but he immediately pushed her away without any politeness.

He didn't mind at all that Liu Yifei was sitting.

Later, Jiang Yiyan subtly implied on a show that Liu Yifei often skipped classes, which made the "Fairy Sister" roll her eyes on the spot. Maybe that was the reason.

Xu Heng also noticed that Zhu Yawen's gaze towards him was a little strange, but he naturally didn't take it to heart.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On Tuesday, August 19th, Liu Yifei went to Shacheng to record the "Happy Camp" program.

Xu Heng continued to attend classes and prepare for exams at school, and there was still no news about the censorship of "Our Times".

However, the domestic entertainment industry has been anything but peaceful during this period.

First, on July 25th, the TV series "Beach," invested in by popular mainland actor Li Yapeng with 8 million yuan and co-starring with his girlfriend Zhou Xun, was broadcast.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes starring Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun aired in February of this year. Although it received a lot of criticism after its broadcast, it was still very popular, and the attention given to the "Jing-Rong romance" goes without saying.

The film "The Beach" also boosted tourism in Sanya.

Then, on the last day of last month, July 31, Jay Chou released his fourth solo album, titled "Ye Huimei," which is his mother's name.

Now, 20 days after its release, sales have exceeded 150 million copies across Asia.

On August 7th, the "Most Beautiful Smile in Hong Kong" poll was held, and Zhang Guorong, who passed away in April, won first place without any controversy, once again sparking a wave of remembrance.

On August 14th, Sina Entertainment reported that Gong Li was spending time with Sun Honglei in France, and that she was suspected of going through divorce proceedings with her current husband.

On August 14th and 15th, David Tao held two solo concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

On August 16, Mayday held a comeback concert in Taiwan, attracting more than 40,000 attendees, breaking Michael Jackson's record for the most tickets sold for a concert in Taiwan.

On the same day, 53-year-old Liu Xiaoqing was finally released on bail after being detained for 422 days. Major media outlets in mainland China rushed to report on it, and paparazzi from all walks of life sprang into action. The future famous paparazzi Zhuo Wei became famous overnight for taking photos of Liu Xiaoqing after her release from prison.

A few days later, on August 24th, Liu Yifei returned to Beijing after recording Happy Camp and attended the press conference for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" held at the New Century Hotel in Beijing.

Apart from Zhang Dahuzi and Liu Yifei, no other main actors were present, including Xu Heng.

Zhang Dahuzi stated that the post-production of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" will be completed around October, and it could be released to audiences as early as December this year.

Liu Yifei also received significant attention from reporters.

When the interview time arrived, they were immediately surrounded by reporters.

"Yifei, you just finished recording Happy Camp, right?"

A reporter asked.

"Yes, I just finished recording the day before yesterday, and then I returned to Beijing."

Liu Yifei spoke in a very calm tone, her voice even a little soft.

"Is this your first time on Happy Camp? How does it feel?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"It's my first time, and I think it's quite fun and interesting."

Liu Yifei continued her reply.

"Do you have any talents to showcase?"

The reporter then asked.

"I sang a song."

Liu Yifei smiled a little shyly.

"What song did you sing?"

The reporter became curious.

"A new song that hasn't been officially released yet is the theme song for the movie 'Our Times,' which I starred in. The song was created by the movie's director, Xu Heng."

Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed again.

The reporters were all stunned.

"You mean Xu Heng not only directed a movie, but also composed a theme song for it?"

Another reporter asked.

"Yes."

Liu Yifei nodded.

What she didn't mention was that Xu Heng also wrote a song for himself.

She hasn't listened to the song in its entirety yet; only a few lines of lyrics appeared in the movie.

Today is the press conference for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," so she can't do too much promotion for Xu Heng's movie, at least not proactively...

"Xu Heng can write songs?"

The reporter then asked.

"yes!"

Liu Yifei nodded again, her expression one of utter certainty.

"Did he write this specifically for you?"

This question is clearly malicious.

"It's the theme song of the movie, but it's just suitable for the female lead to sing."

Liu Yifei glanced at the reporter, but she was used to this kind of thing.

"So what do you think of this song?"

"If you want to know, you can listen to it yourself after the 'Happy Camp' program airs, and the same goes for everyone else."

Liu Yifei's tone was no longer polite.

"Yifei, why didn't Xu Heng come today?"

Another reporter next to him asked a question.

"It's probably because the movie is currently under review, and he also has classes and exams to take."

Liu Yifei's tone returned to calm.

Do you think Xu Heng's film will be a success?

"I think this movie is very good, and I recommend it to all interested viewers."

Are there any intimate scenes in the movie?

"There weren't any scenes that I felt were particularly intimate."

"Not even a kissing scene?"

"Of course not, this is a campus youth movie!"

"Tomorrow is your 16th birthday, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"I hope to have a happy birthday, and I hope everyone can be happy too."

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"We'll have classes and rehearsals as usual tomorrow because final exams are coming up soon."

"And what about your relationship with Xu Heng?"

"I've answered this question many times already; we are very good friends!"

Would you play the role of Little Dragon Girl?

"Has the casting for Little Dragon Girl not started yet?"

Do you think you're suitable to play Little Dragon Girl?

"I think I'm quite suitable."

"..."

"..."

Then the next day, when the news came out, Zhang Da Hu Zi was furious.

Yesterday was the opening day of the first International Radio and Television Expo, and executives from film and television companies across the country and media gathered in Beijing, which is why he specifically chose to hold a press conference yesterday.

As a result, the amount of content about Xu Heng's new movie in these reports almost surpassed that of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and the key point is that he paid for the travel expenses of those media outlets and reporters!

Even though the production crew paid for it, he still felt he was losing out!

That's why he didn't invite Xu Heng to the press conference yesterday, even though Xu Heng is definitely the most popular actor in his "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" series right now!

The other actors, including the two male leads, are now far less popular than Xu Heng!

Moreover, he had a feeling that even if he invited him, Xu Heng might not agree...
