China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 956 Liu Tianxian's 'Using Public Office for Private Gain'

The first day of filming didn't last long, as it mostly revolved around Sun Yi's scenes. Although Liu Yifei was also there, she mainly came to readjust to the rhythm of filming, so the two returned to the hotel early.

In the room, Liu Yifei had removed her makeup and was wearing a soft cotton nightgown. She sat cross-legged on the bed with a moisturizing face mask on her pretty face, and another mask, already opened, was placed at her feet, clearly prepared for Sun Yi.

Now that you're in work mode, you'll inevitably be dealing with various makeup looks every day, so you definitely need to strengthen your skincare routine.

Especially Sun Yi, who used to be a director and didn't care so much, but now he uses makeup to perform across different age groups, and he has to wear heavy makeup every day, which can be seen from the fact that it takes him two or three hours to do his makeup. So he must take good care of himself in this regard.

From the day they got married—no, from the day they got together—everything about Sun Yi, inside and out, from top to bottom, belonged to Liu Yifei. Nothing could be wrong with her!
Just as Liu Yifei was preparing to add some more "ingredients" to her husband, the bathroom door opened.

Sun Yi, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out while drying his hair amidst a cloud of steam.

"Ugh, this hair is so uncomfortable to wear!"

Sun Yi vigorously rubbed his hair twice, muttering a complaint under his breath.

To be honest, he had acted in quite a few plays before, but wearing a wig was a first for him.

In his earliest roles, he was always bald.
"Tch, you can't even last one day? If you ask me, you should try everything, wigs, heavy makeup, special costumes, you should try them all, that way you can understand how hard we actors work."

ha??!!

Where is this going?

Sun Yi never expected that his casual criticism would resonate with Liu Yifei, who stood up for the actors.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Hey, Liu Yinghou, we've never treated you badly when we were filming together, have we?"

"You dare! I'll tell Mom!"

Liu Yifei responded with her neck stiff.

The "mother" she was referring to, according to my naiveté, was definitely not Liu Xiaoli, but rather Empress Dowager Sun.

Sun Yi was completely defeated.

Seeing his helpless expression, Liu Yifei's lips curled up beautifully.

He then patted his thigh and beckoned to Sun Yi, "Come here~"

"what?"

Sun Yi was puzzled.

"Oh, I told you to come over, so I did~" Liu Yifei replied in a sweet voice, "Do you think I'd eat you? Lie down!"

Sun Yi lay down on Liu Yifei's lap as instructed.

My first impression was that she smelled wonderful, a unique body scent that blended with the fragrance of her shampoo. Then I noticed how soft she felt; the area on the back of my head that I touched was very elastic and soft.

"do not move!"

Immediately afterwards, Sun Yi saw Liu Yifei carefully pick up the face mask that had been prepared in advance, gently apply it to her face, and then gently massage it, smoothing out all the edges and corners.

"You've been wearing makeup all day, so makeup remover alone isn't enough. You also need to moisturize and hydrate, and I'll apply some nourishing products later, otherwise it's easy to damage your skin."

At this moment, Liu Tianxian was incredibly gentle.

Her careful and earnest demeanor made Sun Yi feel as if he had no other desires but to have such a wife.

Liu Yifei had no idea what Sun Yi was thinking at that moment. In her opinion, taking care of her husband was simply a matter of course.

Looking at her masterpiece, she clapped her hands in satisfaction, then picked up the script and let Sun Yi lean against her lap to read it.

Judging from what I saw on set today, and given my husband's current performance, it will be my turn to act alongside him in a film in three days at most. So, I need to familiarize myself with the script more.

According to the script, the two should be two completely different types of people.

One is a thirty-something-year-old who is still drifting aimlessly through life, a street thug who doesn't care about tomorrow and is at best a gang leader.

The other is a cheerful, lovely young woman with a great appearance and figure, a good character, and a respectable job. Her only problem is that she has a gambling father. Even so, when her father is seriously ill and has accumulated huge debts, she does not back down. Instead, she resolutely takes on the role of taking care of her father with her frail shoulders.

It was because she took on her father's huge debts that she came into contact with "Sun Yi," a gangster boss in charge of collecting debts. Her feelings for Sun Yi gradually changed as she went from initially disliking him and being forced into contact with him, to slowly seeing his clumsy concern and inherent kindness.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei recalled Sun Yi's performance during the day and imagined the scenes between the two of them.

After thinking for a long time, she still felt something was missing. She wiggled her legs and woke up Sun Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed and was almost asleep.

"Husband! Husband!"

"Hmm~ What's wrong?"

"Your performance during the day."

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No!" Liu Yifei shook her head, put the script aside, and said very seriously, "On the contrary, I think it's too real, so real that it doesn't seem like acting. Every detail, the way you walk, the nonchalant and calculating look in your eyes, the stern and authoritative look when you put on a stern face, and the way you eat. Anyway, it's so real that I don't even know how to act with you."

"I'm just afraid that my acting is too obvious, especially compared to you."

With Liu Yifei's current acting skills, she has no problem getting the lead role, and might even be a bit overkill. But the problem is that you have to compare her to her co-stars. Once you compare them, you can see who is better.

Liu Yifei clearly didn't want to fall too far behind Sun Yi; she couldn't let her husband's acting skills hold her back too.

She mustn't be called a pretty face!

After hearing the girl's reason, Sun Yi chuckled, "Ha, it's not that mysterious."

He truly hadn't expected Liu Yifei to think of this.

However, what he said wasn't wrong. It was basically a natural performance. He had seen and even come into contact with many people like that in that era.

Of course, that was all in the past.

Sun Yi certainly couldn't tell Liu Yifei this reason; he could only explain it from the perspective of acting.

“Honey, acting, at its core, is about ‘understanding’ and ‘presenting’ – understanding why the character became him, understanding the era and environment he lived in, and understanding his fears and desires.”

"As for presentation, it doesn't rely on skills, but on the accumulation of life experiences, observation, and the process of breaking down and integrating into your own body what you've seen, heard, or even imagined about the people living at the bottom of society."

Liu Yifei nodded as if she understood, and tried to speak, but didn't ask, as if she was organizing her thoughts.

Sun Yi climbed off her lap and sat down next to her. "Have you forgotten? I don't want you to become famous at a young age. I was an extra in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'. Even before that, I spent a lot of time in the real world while I was in school."

"You've only worked on one show, 'The Return of the Condor Heroes.' You talk like you have so much experience~" Liu Yifei pouted and muttered under her breath.

To be honest, she was a little resentful.

It's not her fault that she became famous at a young age. Besides, she only had a minor role in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". I know exactly what she did after that!
"Uh"

Sun Yi was at a loss for words; he couldn't very well reveal his "origins."

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something interesting. She picked up the script and started flipping through it. After a moment, she pointed to a certain scene and, with a hint of coquettishness, said to Sun Yi:

"Honey, look, according to the script, we're going to film 'daily life as a couple' next week, you know, the kind where we live together and gradually discover each other's good points, right?"

“Hmm~” Sun Yi nodded hesitantly. According to the filming plan, that was indeed the case.

Liu Yifei blinked her big eyes and looked at him expectantly, "Then take this week to experience what it's like for young couples or ordinary married couples in Northeast China during that era, what they did together, and find that real sense of life!"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up as she spoke, and she even seemed to have a little excitement about using her position for personal gain.

"Ah?"

"What do you mean, do you agree or not?"

"Uh, yes, yes."

Liu Yifei:
