Actor: My Entertainment Era

The couple plans to take a good rest next year and return to theater acting.

After Liu Yifei finished filming "Wang Xiaofang", she returned to the theater to report on filming, but Zhang Yuanjun was not ready yet. He still had another film to film after "Redemption".

"John Wick 2".
Thanks to the domestic market, the first film sold a global box office of US$1 million, making this low-cost action film a classic case of making a big difference with a small amount.

The approval of the second part officially announced that Zhang Yuanjun has become the second Chinese actor to have his own series in Hollywood after Jackie Chan.

Even if there is no sequel, Zhang Yuanjun is still the most successful Chinese actor in Hollywood after Jackie Chan, but it is different with an exclusive series.

In the past, when he was in Hollywood, he was considered second-tier at best. He could play a passable supporting role in a big production, or a leading role in a small-budget independent film.

With the exclusive series, Zhang Yuanjun can expand his international influence more quickly and even become a world-class business card.

A business card that allows him to truly gain a foothold in Hollywood, and a business card for the country in the world of entertainment.

Never underestimate the influence of a world-class star.

To put it bluntly, fortunately Jackie Chan is patriotic. If he were not patriotic, with his influence around the world, if he said one or two bad words about the country, the consequences would be very serious.

"John Wick 2" will start shooting in March and will be released in February 3. This was decided early on.

Therefore, after Zhang Yuanjun finished filming "Redemption", he would fly to the United States for a month and a half of action training.

Zhang Yuanjun finished filming "Redemption" in Fengtian on the morning of the 29th, returned home in the afternoon, and boarded a plane to Los Angeles with his wife at noon on the 30th.

On the second day after landing, I joined the team of "John Wick 2" and started training, training for nearly 10 hours every day.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Xiaoli, her father and her mother Zhang arrived in Los Angeles on the same plane.

Liu Yifei went to pick it up.

Counting this year, Zhang Yuanjun has not spent the Chinese New Year with his parents for three years after his marriage, and he is already being scolded as an "unfilial descendant." So this year, both parents are asked to come to Los Angeles, and it doesn't matter whether they go to your house or mine. , just be together.

Liu Yifei is out of work and has given all the staff around her holidays, but Xiao Zhao still has to follow Zhang Yuanjun. If her boss doesn't take a break, she basically can't take a break.

"Xiao Zhao." Zhang's father must have known this assistant who has been with his son for more than ten years. "When will your family come?"

Zhang Yuanjun asked Xiao Zhao to bring her family to Los Angeles to celebrate the New Year.

"We'll be there tomorrow." Xiao Zhao said with a smile, "My dad said he wanted to have a few more drinks with you."

"Okay, okay." Dad Zhang agreed with a smile.

"Yifei, how long will it take to film the third child?" Zhang's mother asked.

"It takes more than three months, shooting and editing at the same time. The time is very tight." Liu Yifei said, "He is training every day now."

The family chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. After settling everything, Liu Yifei went back.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei came to the hotel to visit their parents after training in the evening.

Naturally, I was told by my parents: "I was told to take a year off. I just finished filming a movie. I stopped for two days and then joined the cast again. You are 30 years old, so you should cherish your body."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "After filming this movie, Sissi and I will not take any roles this year. This movie was decided last year. Hundreds of people are waiting for me to start working and have dinner. If I say I won't act, won't we act?"

Not to mention that there are hundreds of people in the crew waiting to start work, the global distribution agreement for "John Wick 2" has been signed, and theaters all over the world are waiting for your film. If Zhang Yuanjun doesn't start filming, the theater managers will skin him alive.

Zhang Yuanjun stayed in the hotel talking with his parents until night.

The next day, Zhang Yuanjun continued training.

On this day, Xiao Zhao's parents and husband arrived in Los Angeles, and the eldest Zhang family and his second son also landed in the evening.

More than a dozen people are preparing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

There is no 30 this year, New Year’s Eve is on the 29th.

Even though we are far away from overseas, the Chinese New Year atmosphere is still very full. Not to mention Chinatown, even many shops opened by foreigners will hang up red lanterns and put up red letters to please the Chinese people. However, since more than 90% of Beverly Hills are white, the atmosphere is a bit bad.

Early that morning, several housewives went to shopping malls and Chinatown to purchase various ingredients.

My 3-year-old niece Zhang Xu can already run around the house and talk louder than anyone else.

"Come on, come on, little auntie, give me a hug." Liu Yifei chased her, but the little girl wouldn't let her hold her and ran around the room.

"Ah-hahaha!" In the end, Liu Yifei caught her and rubbed her in her arms.

"Do you like my little aunt?" Liu Yifei teased her by holding out a red envelope.

"like."

"Then give your little aunt a kiss." Liu Yifei leaned in and said, "Kiss me and I'll give you the red envelope."

Zhang Xu hugged Liu Yifei's face and kissed her.

"I want it here too." Liu Yifei switched to the other side.

Zhang Xu also kissed her and received the red envelope with satisfaction.

"Yifei loves children so much, it would be great to have one herself." Sister-in-law Li Ying said with a smile.

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "I will definitely give birth, as an aunt, just prepare a red envelope."

Zhang Leping said: "The red envelope has been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for you."

While talking, Zhang's mother and Liu Xiaoli came back. Zhang Leping said to the two elders: "We were just talking about the third child having a baby this year."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "I have already said that I would have a baby. They are busy with work."

Zhang’s mother took over the message: “After filming this movie, I’ll take a break and give birth to a baby.”

Liu Xiaoli put down the things in her hands and said, "Your mother has been a grandmother for several years. I haven't become a grandmother yet. The bracelets in my drawer are almost rusty."

Zhang Yuanjun interjected: "The bracelet will rust, so you bought a fake."

"Hahahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

Liu Xiaoli gave her son-in-law a funny look.

Zhang Yuanjun changed the subject: "I can give birth at any time if I want to. Our family's top priority right now is the second child. The second child, the second child."

Zhang Yuanying was sitting in the living room eating snacks. When she heard the third child calling, she said, "Bring one back next year."

"You say that every year!" Zhang Yuanjun pointed at his sister and teased, "I also want to be an uncle and sit on the table as soon as possible."

"You are sitting at the table, where can the boss sit?" Zhang Yuanying said with a smile.

Zhang Leping said: "Hey, don't seduce me. If you really want to bring one back next year, I will let the third child sit at the table.

"I have already thought of the words for the toast. I just said that this is a twin brother. He is closer than a real brother. I will see if he dares to drink."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I have hidden a bottle of good wine for 30 years, just waiting for you to bring your brother-in-law back to drink. It's up to you."

She was the only one in the whole family who was not married, so Zhang Yuanying had no choice but to live with it.

Of course, Xiao Zhao was not let go. She is basically half of the Zhang family. She was calm: "Next year Yuanjun and Yifei will rest, and I will also rest. I can give birth."

"That's even better. Next year will be a happy year for our family." Elders look forward to having children and grandchildren in their house.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "What do you mean you can give birth after I rest? It's like I, the boss, am squeezing you."

The whole family talks and laughs, cooks New Year's Eve dinner together in the afternoon, and celebrates a lively New Year together. (End of chapter)
