China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 680: Mother-daughter night talk and Renren.com's big move [two in one]

Jiangcheng, Donghu Villa, is the Donghu Villa where Liu Yifei’s grandmother lives, but it is not the same house. It was bought by Liu Xiaoli later as her residence in Jiangcheng.

"The last dish is ready."

In the villa, Liu Xiaoli came to the dining table carrying a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup.

"Aunt Liu, I'm here."

"Be careful, it's hot."

Sun Yi stood up and took it, then placed the soup steadily on the dining table, just where Liu Yifei could reach it with just a raised hand, causing the little girl to grin happily.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips, took off her apron, sat down, and immediately picked up a piece of pork ribs for Sun Yi.

"Xiao Yi, you are usually busy, so eat more."

"Thank you Aunt Liu."

The two of them had just participated in two promotional roadshows in Jiangcheng today, and after the show, they went straight to the East Lake Villa.

Speaking of which, Liu Yifei hasn't seen her mother Liu for a long time and misses her very much.

The roadshow grouping arranged by Sun Yi this time was a bit of a private benefit. On the way back to Beijing, he took Liu Yifei home with him to visit, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

"Mom, you eat too."

"Aunt Liu, that's enough, that's enough."

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoli kept picking up food for the two young people, smiling. She looked in very good condition, completely free of the depression that Liu Yifei had felt after just joining Starry Sky.

You know, during that time, she felt like she was no longer needed by her daughter.

But since taking over Liu Yifei's charity foundation, Liu Xiaoli seems to have found a new direction in her life. She no longer dwells on trivial matters and puts all her attention on Liu Yifei. Instead, she focuses on charity activities and travels around the country with the team every year.

Wherever there is a disaster or difficulty, she is there. Every time she helps others, she feels a great sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Moreover, she regards these charitable activities as accumulating virtue and blessings for her daughter, which makes her even happier.

As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. Although she has entered her 50s this year, she still has black hair and not many wrinkles on her face. She actually looks like she is getting younger and younger.

Sun Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks after almost finishing his meal.

"Aunt Liu, I wonder if you and Uncle An have time during the Chinese New Year. My parents want to come meet you and have dinner together."

It was said to be a meal, but in fact it was just the parents of both sides coming together to discuss the lifelong affairs of the two young people.

Traditionally speaking, this kind of thing should be done by a matchmaker who brings the two families together, but Sun Yijue and Liu Yifei were in a completely free love relationship and there was no matchmaker at all.

Another thing is that this matter has been delayed for nearly half a year, and Sun Yi now personally came to the door to talk about it, which also means to express his sincerity.

As a man, you must be more proactive.

He had just finished asking the question and Liu Xiaoli hadn't answered yet, but Liu Yifei made some big movements. Her little face turned red. Then she quickly lowered her head and covered herself with her hair, pretending to be like, "It's none of my business, I'm just eating."

Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly, obviously very satisfied with Sun Yi's initiative.

"We have time. Xixi told me a few days ago. I have also coordinated with your Uncle An. We both have time."

"cough, cough"

"Xixi, eat slowly. No one in your family is going to snatch this from you. What are you doing~"

Sun Yi turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei who was concentrating on eating. Although he couldn't see the expression on her face at the moment, the red tips of her ears said it all.

I laughed secretly in my heart.
Didn’t you say you were going to regret it?
After all this fuss, I have already discussed it with my family!

Liu Yifei wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Who would have thought that her mother would sell it to her directly.

"Oh, Aunt Liu, I have something else to trouble you with. I wonder if it's convenient for you."

"Hey, why are you talking about whether it's troublesome or not? Just tell me directly."

"It's like this, Aunt Liu. I want to buy a house in Jiangcheng, but I'm not very familiar with this place. As you know, Xixi and I are usually very busy and don't have time. I wonder if you can help me?"

When Liu Xiaoli heard that they were going to buy a house in Jiangcheng, she was of course happy. Who doesn't want their children to be closer to them even after marriage?

He nodded with satisfaction and agreed happily:
"Don't worry, just leave it to Auntie. Although Auntie is old, she can handle this matter."

"Oh my, Aunt Liu, you don't look old at all. When you and Xixi stand together, they look like sisters. You can't tell they are mother and daughter at all."

"Hehehe~~This kid is talking nonsense~"

Liu Xiaoli let out a laugh like an auntie.

As long as she is a woman, she will be happy if you compliment her on her youthful appearance.

At this time, Liu Yifei finally couldn't help it. She raised her head and pouted at Sun Yi, her beautiful eyes full of contempt.

Shoot, shoot hard~
Hey, I would!

That night, Sun Yi slept in the guest room on the first floor. Liu Yifei helped him make his bed and gave him a long goodnight kiss while Liu's mother was away.

Before leaving, he gave Sun Yi another mysterious look, then turned around and happily went up to the master bedroom on the second floor, which was Liu Xiaoli's room.

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, so they must have some personal matters to talk about.

Liu Xiaoli was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. After Liu Yifei finished washing up, she fiddled with her little slippers and jumped directly onto the bed, hugging Liu Xiaoli's waist as she did before.

"Mom, when did you wear reading glasses?"

"My vision has been a little blurry since a while ago. I just got it matched."

"Well, why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Yifei had a look of heartache on her face and clung tightly to Liu Xiaoli's arms.

"What can I tell you about this? Isn't it like this when people get old? Silly girl, you are still your mother, so I am really not old."

"No, mom will always be young in my heart."

"Haha~"

Liu Xiaoli smiled and shook her head, put down the book, gently stroked Liu Yifei's head, and said with some emotion:
"Oh, in the blink of an eye, you are already 25 years old this year, a grown-up girl, and you are about to get married and start a family."

"I won't get married. I want to be with my mother forever."

Liu Yifei hugged Mother Liu's arm and said with a firm face.

Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Liu Xiaoli smiled repeatedly, raised her hand and tapped Liu Yifei's forehead, and said earnestly:
"Stop talking nonsense. I can't say that mom can accompany you forever. A woman's best years are only a few years. Don't learn from me."

"When you were young, your mother stopped you and protected you because she was afraid that you would get hurt. Now you are older and have your own choices."

"I have watched Sun Yi grow up over the past few years. His looks, talents and abilities are all top-notch. He is a good match for my daughter."

When Liu Yifei heard her mother say that Sun Yi just barely passed, she laughed happily.

Little did she know that Liu Xiaoli was just saying this to make her happy, which was basically a positive move followed by negative. She changed the subject and continued:

"Since you have chosen him, you must learn to understand him, accept him, and tolerate him. Don't get angry all the time. Got it?"

Liu Yifei's face turned red with shame, her eyes rolled around, she pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Known daughter Moruomu.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but understand her. She knew that her daughter was just embarrassed, so she didn't say anything more. Instead, she mentioned the Chinese New Year.

"You have to be on the Spring Festival Gala on the 30th, so don't bother with that. Go celebrate the New Year with Sun Yi, and come back after the second day of the New Year."

"Ah~ What are you doing, Mom? You don't want me anymore~"

Liu Yifei hugged Liu Xiaoli's arm and made a lot of noise for a while.

"It's only a matter of time. Just adapt in advance."

"No, I want to spend the New Year with you and grandma."

Liu Xiaoli felt amused when she saw her daughter's insincere expression.

"Really don't want to go?"

"No!" "Is that a sure thing?"

"That's right!"

"Is it really accurate?"

"real!"

"Okay then, don't go. Come back for the New Year."

"ah??!!"

Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli blankly, thinking,

Why don't you play by the rules?

It was not until she saw the mysterious smile on Mother Liu's face that Liu Yifei reacted and started to act coquettishly.

"Mom~ You're annoying~"

"Hehehe~"

The mother and daughter chatted from their childhood to the present, and continued until late at night.

Liu Yifei yawned loudly and got up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Go back to sleep." Liu Yifei pursed her lips and answered innocently.

Mother Liu smiled and nodded, then asked, "Where are you going to sleep? Not downstairs, right?"

"Mom, what are you talking about~"

"What are you talking about? You know it in your heart. Although I really want to have a grandchild, you must not cause any death for me before we get married."

"Oh, Mom, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to sleep with you today."

Liu Yifei went back into bed with a blushing face.

Brother, I'm sorry~
At breakfast the next day, Sun Yi came out with a pair of panda eyes, which made Liu Yifei laugh heartlessly.

After returning to the capital, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei began to get busy again.

Liu Yifei began to frequently participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, and at the same time started the astronaut's physical adaptability training, preparing for the formal participation in astronaut professional training after the new year.

Sun Yi began to deal with the company's year-end summary.

Today, Star Sky’s revenue has increased significantly compared to previous years. "New World" is still in theaters, and in just one week, the box office has exceeded 3 million yuan.

The film is also set to be released overseas simultaneously. The first batch will be in Asian countries including Japan and South Korea, which are regions where Star already has the distribution capabilities.

The North American region is going to be handed over to North American Star, which will focus on theatrical screenings in Chinese and black areas.

This type of film is what they prefer.

As for the European region, it is basically a matter of discussing copyright buyout, because even if there is a profit sharing, it is not necessarily much more profitable than a buyout, and the human and material resources invested will have to increase accordingly, which means that the loss outweighs the gain.

As for "Pacific Rim", the profit from this film alone is equal to Star Sky's entire year income last year, not to mention that Star Sky also released "Hidden in the Dust" and "Beijing Meets Seattle" last year.

After deducting the production investment of "Gravity" and all the company's expenses, Star Image's year-end surplus was at least over 100 million US dollars.

Sun Yi was thinking about how to spend the money.

After all, it won't give birth if you keep it in your hands.

However, before he had long to think about it, the money suddenly came in handy.

"Director Sun, long time no see."

"Brother Xing, don't be like this. You start making fun of me as soon as we meet."

"Is what I said wrong? Who in China dares to say anything about you unless they are big directors?"

"."

"Hahaha~~"

The person who came to see Sun Yi was Wang Xing, who said that he wanted to discuss an in-depth cooperation with Sun Yi.

"Renren has been online for five years and now has 5 million active users, accounting for 1.8 percent of all Chinese Internet users. Moreover, Renren is no longer just an SNS social networking site."

"We have dabbled in personal blogs, self-media, and even games and entertainment, and are building an ecological chain that is unique to Renren."

Wang Xing took Sun Yi to visit the brand new headquarters of Renren.com. This was a newly built headquarters building that Wang Xing applied for subsidized land for technology companies from the Beijing Municipal Government after IDG completed its third round of financing.

"We have already developed the WeChat app you mentioned to me before, and have even done three rounds of internal testing. The response has been very good, and it will be officially launched in two days. How about it? Are you interested in being a spokesperson again?"

"Brother Xing, are you sure you only want me?"

"Of course not, I definitely went there for my brother's wife~"

"."

"Haha, we have done market research. Although you are a big director, your influence in the minds of young people is still several levels lower than that of my sister-in-law."

Sun Yi smiled bitterly. Although he knew this would be the result, he still felt a little uncomfortable when Wang Xing said it so bluntly.

But think about it, it's nothing, being defeated by your own wife is not a big deal~
Because of Sun Yi, Liu Yifei has always been the top spokesperson for Renren.com, so this time, he did not refuse and directly agreed on behalf of the girl.

Are you kidding? This is WeChat. It will be the most popular app in China in the next 20 years. No one can live without it.

Sun Yi has thought it through. When he opens the software interface, what he sees is not the Earth, but the fresh and refined face of his wife. How wonderful that would be. It makes him happy just thinking about it.

"However, the main reason I invited you here today is not this."

"Oh?"

"As you know, we are going to go public in the United States. We will probably start the roadshow after the Spring Festival. At present, investors are still optimistic about our website, but ordinary Americans know relatively little about us, and publicity alone is very inefficient."

"Ah."

Sun Yi nodded to show that he understood.

Stocks are divided into primary market and secondary market.

In the primary market, large investors can exchange a package of stocks for shares, which is called subscription, or exchange shares for a package of stocks, which is called redemption. It is difficult for small and medium-sized investors to participate, as generally there are various large funds and investment banks in the primary market.

In the secondary market, both large and small investors can trade shares at market prices. Here, they generally deal with ordinary retail investors, small funds and other investors.

The price of a stock not only depends on the participation of the primary market, the secondary market is also very important, after all, there are many people involved.

“So, I want to open up a gap in entertainment.”

"entertainment?"

"Yes, it's movies and various film and television works."

Movies and TV shows? Social networking sites?

These two need to be linked.

Sun Yi's brain started thinking very quickly and he guessed the answer in just a moment.

"Brother Xing, are you saying you want to create a website similar to Netflix?"

"Correct!"

Wang Xing snapped his fingers and nodded excitedly.

"Netflix is ​​the largest online film and television website in the United States, but their Internet social attributes are still somewhat lacking."

"Renren is the opposite. We are unique in China's Internet social networking, but we lack corresponding film and television content."

"So, Brother Xing, you want my Starry Sky Image to cooperate with Renren as a provider of film and television content?"

"That's right. We will use Renren Video as our platform, and Starry Sky will provide the content. Together, we will create an online streaming platform that surpasses Netflix!"
