China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 978 Reunion in the Star System

"Who's coming?"

"Holy crap, it's Sun Yi and Liu Yifei!"

"Those two? Weren't they saying they wouldn't be attending this year's Golden Rooster Awards? They actually came!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, camera, quick, aim it!"

The car door slid open slowly, and Sun Yi stepped out first, bowing slightly. Then, turning slightly, he naturally extended his hand, taking the hand of a slender woman wearing a silver gauze glove, and ushered her female companion out of the car.

Wearing an ice-blue, starry-sky-themed floor-length gown, Liu Yifei shone like a pearl nurtured in the deep sea, radiating a warm and dazzling light under the lamplight.

She nodded slightly, gently adjusted her skirt with her other hand, then took Sun Yi's arm, raised her head, and her pretty face blossomed with that perfect smile that countless movie fans remember.

Intellectual, generous, and beautiful.

As the old saying goes, conduct cultivates one's character, and learning cultivates one's personality!
Over the past few years, Ms. Liu has grown and gained more experience. In addition, she has been involved in major projects with Sun Yi and has met and known top people in the industry. In terms of demeanor and experience, she is no longer the "ordinary girl" she used to be.

Now, whenever she's not alone with Sun Yi, she has an impeccable air about her whenever she's out in public.

I don't know about other things, but in recent years, there have been more and more netizens criticizing Sun Yi for "stealing a good cabbage" (a Chinese idiom for marrying into wealth).

After a brief moment of surprise, the media area erupted into an even more intense commotion and gasps.

Countless cameras that were originally pointing at other celebrities suddenly turned to the newly appeared couple.

It's no wonder the reporters were so surprised. This couple, who are arguably the most popular celebrities in the mainland entertainment industry, were absent from the opening ceremony and related events of this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Coupled with the controversy surrounding the previous Golden Rooster Awards, all sorts of speculations and rumors have been rampant.

Some say they deliberately made up an excuse not to attend because they were busy negotiating important projects in Hollywood; others speculate that they were dissatisfied with the previous Golden Rooster Awards and deliberately did not participate as a form of protest; and some low-class gossip tabloids even secretly fabricated some melodramatic stories about "relationship changes" and "being busy with their own things".

On the way here, Sun Yi casually checked his phone for news related to the Golden Rooster Awards, catching up on recent events. When he saw the outrageous comments about why he and Miss Liu were absent, he just scoffed and swiped past them.

The previous ones had some basis in fact, but the last one is utter nonsense.

Relationship troubles? Busy with their own lives? He's still busy with his relationship with the "Fairy Sister," how could he have time to go out and do other things? Nonsense!

Besides, now that he's in his position, leading the ever-growing entertainment behemoth Starry Sky Pictures, and holding multiple roles as a top director and film investor, he no longer needs to pay attention to what these media outlets are fabricating for KPI purposes.

My Great Qing Dynasty... no, I mean my own starry sky has its own national conditions, how can others question them?
The two walked hand in hand into the red carpet rest area with ease.

"Boss! Boss lady!"

"Director Sun, Yifei!"

A series of surprised and delighted voices rang out.

As soon as the two entered the inner area, a whirlwind suddenly formed, with people constantly gathering around them in circles.

"When I heard the noise outside, I thought, 'Who's here, making such a commotion? Could it be my Director Sun and Yifei?' Hey, it really is."

Zhang Yi was the first to greet him with a smile, immediately launching into a blatant act of flattery.

Sun Yi was speechless, while Miss Liu giggled and covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

"Zhang Yi, could you be any more disgusting?"

Zhou Xun rolled her eyes, speechless, thinking to herself, "How come I never realized this guy was so shameless?"

"Exactly!" Gao Ye also stood firmly on the side of the big sister Zhou Xun. After criticizing Zhang Yi, she immediately pulled Liu Yifei along and started a small conversation among the girls.

The celebrities from the Starry Sky Group met their boss and his wife again after nearly a month, and they all gathered around to greet them, creating a lively atmosphere.

Zhang Yi leaned closer to Sun Yi, lowered his voice, rubbed his hands together, and asked with a hint of urgency, "Boss, we've been waiting for you to come back. Um... how's the 'Mekong River' project going? Have you heard anything from Director Yu Kun? I've been thinking about it a lot."

"The Mekong River? Yu Khun? What does that have to do with you?"

Seeing how impatient he was, Sun Yi wanted to tease him, so he pretended to be surprised.

Zhang Yi was indeed dumbfounded. "No, no, isn't this our company's big project for next year?"

“Oh, right, that’s right, it is indeed a big project for our company next year.” Sun Yi nodded with feigned seriousness. “Yu Kun is still doing interviews on the front lines in Nanyun, saying he wants to dig out the most authentic stuff. What’s wrong, why are you curious about this?”

"This, I..." Zhang Yi scratched his head, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

Sun Yi smiled and teased, "Brother Yi, the project is fine, but you haven't been cast as the male lead yet."

"Huh?! No!" Zhang Yi was instantly dumbfounded, his face immediately falling. "No... Boss, you can't do this! I've been preparing for so long, even..."

"What to practice?"

Sun Yi asked curiously.

Zhang Yi glanced around and lowered his voice, "I've even found a narcotics squad for me to experience life in!"

"No, what?"

Sun Yi was truly shocked. He never expected Zhang Yi to go to such lengths to experience life in the anti-drug squad. He thought that experiencing a front-line criminal police team for a few days was the best he could do.

"The anti-narcotics squad?"

"Ah."

"First-tier?"

"No."

“No, this place can also let you…” Sun Yi looked Zhang Yi up and down, “go to experience life?”

Zhang Yi got anxious, patted his chest, and replied, "What, who do you think you are! I'm also a veteran. Besides, this is a project our company is working on with the Ministry of Public Security. I've even signed a waiver of liability! I'll officially start reporting for duty next month."

"A personal liability waiver! Awesome!"

Sun Yi's eyes widened, and he had no choice but to give the guy in front of him a thumbs up.

This guy is really risking his life to play the role well.

"Alright, Lao Zhang, just based on your spirit, this role is perfect for you."

Hearing Sun Yi's promise, Zhang Yi finally felt relieved and chuckled, "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Just as Zhang Yili stood at attention, a familiar voice suddenly broke through from behind them, carrying a weary yet spirited tone: "My goodness, you've finally made it back! What are you chatting about? It's so lively! Boss Sun, Queen Liu, long time no see!"

The group turned around and saw Wu Jing striding towards them. He was noticeably darker-skinned, but full of energy, with bright, piercing eyes, and a confident stride.

"What queen? Brother Jing, don't joke around!" Liu Yifei said with a reproachful expression.

"Brother Jing!" Sun Yi smiled and shook his head, then stepped forward and shook his hand firmly. "Did you come straight back from Africa? Is 'Wolf Warrior 2' finished filming?"

"Filming is finished!" Wu Jing's voice boomed, carrying the exhilarating satisfaction of completing a challenging task.
"Just got back to China, getting ready to dive into the post-production lab. Let me tell you, thanks to you, the funding was generous, this shoot was fucking awesome! So satisfying!"

Wu Jing excitedly gestured, imitating the action of firing a cannon.

"You didn't see it, my brother even rode in a tank this time, the real thing! Boom! The scene was amazing! If it weren't for your Mekong River project contacting me, I would have liked to stay there longer, have more fun, and come back after the New Year!"

Seeing his animated expression, Sun Yi found it amusing.

For him, being able to make movies and handle guns and cannons is simply the greatest blessing in his life.

As everyone was chatting and laughing, the staff announced that the red carpet ceremony was about to begin and asked everyone to get ready.

The scene fell silent as everyone dispersed, some returning to their film crews, others searching for their red carpet partners, in preparation for tonight's awards ceremony.
