Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

I enjoyed the meal quite a bit.

After the meal, Cheng Yuan and Huang Xiaoming exchanged contact information.

"Want to walk with me?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and looked at Liu Yifei.

Huang Xiaoming and Wang Jia made an excuse and left first.

Liu Yifei nodded and did not refuse.

"When are you going back?"

As the two strolled along the road, Liu Yifei casually asked...

Her assistant followed at a distance.

A very perceptive young girl.

"tomorrow."

Cheng Yuan answered very readily.

He has indeed booked a flight back to the capital for tomorrow.

"Isn't your movie already finished?" Liu Yifei said. "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why not stay and enjoy yourself for a few more days?"

"You're reluctant to let me go?" Cheng Yuan said with a smile. "If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day?"

"Who's sad to see you go? Who wants to be with you day and night?" Liu Yifei said. "Cheng Yuan, how can you be so shameless?"

"They say online that to pursue girls, you need to be bold, meticulous, and thick-skinned," Cheng Yuan said. "Being meticulous is harder, but I can still manage to be bold and thick-skinned."

"You really like me?"

Liu Yifei suddenly stopped and looked at Cheng Yuan.

"Of course."

Cheng Yuan said it very frankly, looking directly into Liu Yifei's eyes without flinching.

"So what do you like about me?"

Liu Yifei gave up, turned her gaze elsewhere, and then asked.

"Beautiful!"

Cheng Yuan answered quickly as well.

"There are plenty of girls prettier than me in the industry," Liu Yifei said. "Then you must like every single one of them."

"Who's prettier than you? I haven't noticed," Cheng Yuan said. "In my eyes, you're the prettiest."

Liu Yifei lowered her head and remained silent. Regardless of whether Cheng Yuan was telling the truth, she was still very happy to hear it.

"If they find out, won't you start falling for someone else?"

Liu Yifei suddenly looked up again, and looked at Cheng Yuan with a smile.

"How could that be?" Cheng Yuan said. "Nobody is as pretty as you."

"Even the most beautiful woman will grow old and lose her looks!" Liu Yifei said. "So, when I get old, will you fall for someone else?"

"By the time you grow old and lose your beauty, I may already be dead," Cheng Yuan said. "In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful. Besides, it started with your looks, it was our personalities that made us compatible, it lasted because of your kindness, and it ended with your character."

Liu Yifei is not only beautiful, but also has a fascinating soul.

She's not the kind of ethereal fairy who doesn't live a life of seclusion in private.

"It begins with appearance, is based on personality, lasts on kindness, and ends with character."

Liu Yifei muttered something, but didn't say anything more.

"By the way, where's Auntie?" Cheng Yuan asked. "Isn't she on set?"

"She went to Shanghai," Liu Yifei said. "Didn't 'Chinese Paladin' air?"

"That show was really popular. By the way, Tangren Media wants to sign you?"

Cheng Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Hmm!" Liu Yifei said, "However, my mother probably won't agree. I have my own management company."

"Then be careful," Cheng Yuan said. "Or remind your mother and the others to be careful; Tangren is probably going to do something nefarious to you."

"No way?"

Liu Yifei looked at Cheng Yuan with some surprise.

She has been so well protected that she has clearly not yet experienced the dark side of the entertainment industry.

"If you can't have it, destroy it; that's common in the entertainment industry," Cheng Yuan said. "Where do you think my doubts came from?"

Liu Yifei remained silent.

The fact that Cheng Yuan is facing such strong criticism must mean that there are companies in the industry pushing him from behind.

As for which company it was, she had heard about it.

"I'll remind Mom and them," Liu Yifei said. "Thank you!"

"Don't be so polite with me," Cheng Yuan said. "You should also be mentally prepared and not pay attention to what people say online. They might even say you're a man."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei was immediately dumbfounded.

Am I a man?

Aren't they just blatantly lying?

"You seem unconcerned about what others say about you?"

Liu Yifei looked at Cheng Yuan. When he was questioned, she thought of comforting him, but she found that Cheng Yuan didn't care at all.

"If I care, wouldn't I be falling into their trap?" Cheng Yuan said. "You shouldn't care either. Just do your own thing and let them talk."

"Um!"

Liu Yifei nodded.

"Tomorrow... I'll take you?"

After walking in silence for a while, Liu Yifei spoke.

"No need," Cheng Yuan shook his head and said, "It won't interfere with your filming. Just treat me to hot pot when you come back to the capital after you finish filming."

"Okay," Liu Yifei said. "Are you in a hurry to go back to class? I heard you go back to school whenever you have time."

"Learning more won't hurt," Cheng Yuan said. "However, I'm mainly going back this time for company matters."

Cheng Yuan was in a hurry to go back, mainly because of the movie "Crazy Stone".

The script for this film has been finalized.

"You're so busy, why did you come?" Liu Yifei said. "We're almost done filming."

"How could I not keep my promise?" Cheng Yuan said. "Besides, it won't delay anything."

Liu Yifei laughed when she heard this.

The two strolled along the road, chatting casually.

Walking side by side, Cheng Yuan didn't even think about holding hands.

Some things can't be rushed.

After an unknown amount of time, the two returned to the hotel and went to their respective rooms.

The next day, Cheng Yuan returned to the capital.

"Have you received your share of the profits from 'Buried' yet?"

Cheng Yuan looked at Hou Hongliang and asked a question he was concerned about.

With an investment of five million yuan for "Crazy Stone," Cheng Yuan didn't want to have to pay for it out of his own pocket again.

It seems he can't come up with that much money now.

After receiving the revenue share from "Buried," he still had to pay his director and screenwriter fees, as well as the investment costs for "The Hunt."

He personally paid for it first.

Personal and company accounts should obviously be kept separate.

"We've arrived, nearly 20 million," Hou Hongliang said. "We have plenty of funds, so investing in 'Crazy Stone' is naturally not a problem."

"Why are there so many?"

Cheng Yuan looked at Hou Hongliang with a puzzled expression.

The box office of "Buried Alive" was only over 30 million, and the revenue sharing box office was at most a little over 10 million.

Nowadays, film producers can get 30% of the revenue, but that depends on how unscrupulous the distributor is.

"The box office revenue sharing from Hong Kong Island was also transferred over."

Hou Hongliang clearly understood why Cheng Yuan was so puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuan suddenly understood.

Doesn't the domestic box office include Hong Kong and Taiwan?

China Film Group also has distribution capabilities in these two regions.

Normally, movie revenue sharing doesn't arrive this quickly; this was only because Cheng Yuan went to Han Sanping to plead poverty.

"Are you planning to produce 'Crazy Stone' yourself, or...?"

Cheng Yuan then looked at Hou Hongliang.

"I'll hold down for now," Hou Hongliang said. "The company is short-staffed right now."

Cheng Yuan nodded.

Hou Hongliang had only been there a short time, and since then he had been busy with the "Hunting" project, so he naturally neglected his work at the company.

However, Cheng Yuan Film and Television is no longer the small, insignificant entity it once was.

Although it is not large in scale now, and is pitifully small, it has all the necessary functions.
