China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 919 Chinese New Year
Leonardo DiCaprio's status in the hearts of movie fans worldwide is beyond doubt. With him joining the cast of "World War Z," as long as James Wan performs at his usual level and doesn't intentionally kill himself, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Having settled James Wan's new ideas, Tom took the opportunity to chat with Sun Yi about the preparations for "Superman".

While Sun Yi was busy with his wedding, he served as one of the executive producers representing Starry Sky, keeping track of the production team's progress throughout the entire process.

"The initial location scouting for the film is complete. The first scene was set in San Diego, California. Warner Bros. has leveraged their local advantage by obtaining a free filming permit through the California Film Commission, along with a 25% tax credit. These two items alone will save the film tens of millions of dollars in budget."

Although it sounded a bit strange to hear the word "native" coming from Tom, a native-born American, Sun Yi nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Warner Bros. invested the majority of the money in the movie "Superman". Starlight, including its director's share and film investment, only accounted for 35% of the total. But it saved some budget, which is good.

The studio shooting portion of the film has been finalized, taking place at Starry Sky's Huairou Digital Studio, which will indirectly generate another source of income. Combined with Starry Sky's special effects company, it's really hard to say whether Sun Yi or Warner Bros. will ultimately profit more from this film.

"How are the two lead actors doing?"

"Warner Bros. has conducted producer auditions and has initially agreed with your suggestion. Currently, Henry Cavill and Elizabeth Olsen are the top choices for the male and female leads."

"Okay, I'll tell Alan when I get back. March, I think. After my honeymoon ends, filming will officially start, and he can confirm the schedules with the actors."

"Okay, boss."

Tom, who knows where he learned it from, pulled out a small notebook from his pocket and scribbled a couple of notes, which made Sun Yi both laugh and cry.

He really wanted to remind Tom that, as the CEO of Starry Sky North America, he shouldn't act so undignified when he's out in public.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I realized that this guy might only act like this in front of me.

They showed it to him specifically.

Just then, boarding announcements in both Chinese and English rang out in the waiting area. Liu Yifei gently patted Sun Yi and said with a smile, "Look at you, you've turned this into a meeting. It's time for them to board."

Sun Yi then realized what was happening and chuckled awkwardly.

What was supposed to be a farewell party turned into a work meeting.

However, the bond between the group was extraordinary, and no one would hold a grudge about it.

After giving the three a warm hug, Sun Yi watched them leave the waiting hall. A short while later, a red and white Bombardier took off.

"Let's go home. Tomorrow is the New Year. It's a new house, so we should tidy it up a bit, just to show our appreciation."

"Okay, you take care of the floor, and I'll take care of the cabinets."

"Okay!" "By the way, honey, did I tell you? You looked amazing today, absolutely stunning, especially your overall aura."

"What kind of temperament? Tell me."

"She has that alluring scent of a young married woman."

"Hmph! So what do you want to do?"

"you!"

"Huh?" "Pah! I'll beat you to death."

"Oh no, someone's murdering her husband!"

"Don't run!!"

Who would have thought that such a renowned director and star would utter such vulgar and offensive words day after day?

It's just that the VIP lounge offers a high level of privacy; otherwise, if someone took a picture of them, people might think the couple was having marital problems.

They've only been married for two days!

On New Year's Eve, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei slept until they naturally woke up and lingered on the big bed in their new house for a while before slowly getting up.

The sunlight outside the window was perfect, illuminating the large red "double happiness" character that had not yet been removed from the window frame.

"Honey, today's schedule is packed!" Sun Yi said, smiling at Liu Yifei in the mirror as he shaved.

"Okay! Let's go to my mom's for lunch first, then go to your mom's for a red envelope in the afternoon, and then go back to our 'new map' to stay up for New Year's Eve!"

Liu Yifei, dressed in fluffy loungewear, was combing her hair, her face radiant with happiness. In just a few words, she had clearly planned out their first Spring Festival after marriage.

On the Liu family's side, Liu's mother personally cooked a large and sumptuous family feast, all of which were hometown flavors that Liu Yifei loved to eat.

"Wow, it smells so good, Mom! What did you make?" Liu Yifei had barely entered the door, her shoes still on, when her eyes glanced towards the kitchen. Sun Yi, carrying various gifts in her hands, also sweetly called out, "Mom!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled broadly, pulled Sun Yi to sit down in the living room, and even made him tea herself.

"Oh, Mom, I can do it myself. You've already worked so hard to cook so many meals for us."

"It's no trouble at all. I'm so happy that you can come back for dinner!"

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and son-in-law, her wrinkles brimming with smiles.

At the dinner table, Liu's mother kept putting food on the couple's plates, while her maternal grandmother and aunt subtly gave Liu Yifei advice on the trivialities of married life.

The atmosphere was warm and peaceful, filled with the feeling of home.

In the afternoon, Liu Yifei personally drove Sun Yi to visit his parents.

Sun Yi didn't dare to relax at all, keeping a close eye on the road conditions.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a couple of drinks with his uncle at noon, and that there were far fewer cars on the road on New Year's Eve, he would never have agreed to let Liu Hanhan drive himself.

When filming "Edge of Tomorrow," not only Tom Cruise, but also Sun Yi were left with a psychological scar.

As soon as the car entered the yard, Sun Xiaomei came running out to greet it, shouting as she ran:

"Uncle, Auntie~ My brother and sister-in-law are here!"

"You're already a junior in college, why are you still acting like a child? Can't you be a little more mature?"

Sun Yi expressed his concern for his cousin's future, but unexpectedly received a glare from his wife.

"What's wrong with being a child? It's great, we'll be 18 forever, right, Dandan?"

“Yes, sister-in-law is right!” Sun Xiaomei hid behind Liu Yifei and made a face at Sun Yi triumphantly.

To be honest, the two sisters are now closer than they are to Sun Yi.

As soon as I entered, I saw Zhang Qin wearing an apron coming out of the kitchen. Her face lit up with a smile when she saw Liu Yifei, and she grabbed her hand, asking her with concern, "Qianqian, are you cold? Are you hungry?"

Comrade Lao Sun followed behind with a smile.

Upon seeing Mr. and Mrs. Sun, Liu Yifei immediately greeted them sweetly, "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"

"Hey~" Old Sun grinned from ear to ear, and pulled out two thick red envelopes. "Here you go, Qianqian! This is your and Sun Yi's New Year's money! I wish you a happy and harmonious new year."

"And may you have a son soon!" Sun Xiaomei shouted from behind, her voice unusually loud, making Liu Yifei blush slightly and feel embarrassed to accept the red envelope.

"What are you standing there for? Take it." Sun Yi nudged the girl, and seeing that she was still hesitant, he immediately took it with a grin. "Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom! I wish you both good health and all the best!"

Then, without any hesitation, he stuffed the red envelope into his pocket, which made Zhang Qin laugh and scold him for being spineless.

After paying New Year's greetings, Zhang Qin went back to the kitchen to continue her work. Liu Yifei volunteered to help, but was firmly refused. In the end, she had no choice but to join Sun Xiaomei in making dumplings.

The two agreed that one would wrap a piglet and the other would wrap a rabbit.

When they were wrapping the dumplings, they looked quite professional, but when they were eating them, Sun Yi couldn't recognize a single one.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is hard to evaluate, but the atmosphere of family reunion was still very heartwarming.

As soon as midnight struck, everyone wished each other a Happy New Year again. Then Sun Yi and Liu Yifei returned to their new house with all sorts of delicious food and drinks they had "scavenged" from both families. It is a custom that newlyweds must stay up all night in their new house on their first New Year.

The lights in the villa came on one by one. The two put down their things, smiled at each other, and simultaneously collapsed onto the sofa in the living room.

"Phew, after a whole day of running around, I'm finally home." Liu Yifei leaned her head on Sun Yi's shoulder and sighed contentedly.

"Yes, we're home." Sun Yi hugged her, his chin rubbing against the top of her head. Looking out the window at the deepening night and the dazzling lights of thousands of homes, he felt a peaceful sense of happiness.

This year, the entire holiday was spent in Beijing. There was no novelty of traveling far, but there was the most down-to-earth warmth. Surrounded by the love of both sets of parents, and resting peacefully in our own little nest, from the spotlight of the wedding hall to the quiet embrace of our own world, the change in status and the trajectory of our lives have been steadily and truly realized in each home-cooked meal, each blessing, each return home and each departure.

Outside the window, the New Year's bells seemed to be ringing faintly in the distance; inside, the newlyweds embraced tightly.

Suddenly, Sun Yi, affectionately known as "Wife," lowered his head and planted a kiss on Liu Yifei's smooth forehead. "Happy New Year!"

Liu Yifei smiled and returned his sweetest smile, "Happy New Year, honey. Let's celebrate like this every year from now on!"
