Just when they got out of the car, it suddenly started to rain lightly. The summer rain fell like thin threads, soft and crisp, bringing with it waves of cool breeze.

A group of people all looked up to the sky. Zhang Yang looked at it for a while and patted Xiao Lizi on the shoulder: "Leon, in today's weather, it would be a waste not to film your downfall."

"Director, it will only rain until the evening." Xiao Lizi shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"Not necessarily, as long as there is a pond. The car is passing by quickly, causing a splash of water to fall on you. What a beautiful scene."

Zhang Yang described the specific situation to Xiao Lizi, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he heard it. He had nothing to do with being a scumbag in real life, but why was he so miserable in the movie?

"Okay, let's go in and hold a press conference." Liu Yifei interrupted the conversation between Zhang Yang and Xiao Lizi, waved her hand and said domineeringly. After saying that, she took the lead and walked into the hall.

"Fortunately, Crystal didn't wear a windbreaker today, otherwise she would be really cool." Xiao Lizi looked at Liu Yifei's back and joked to Zhang Yang.

"Maybe!" After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he walked in. Xiao Lizi looked at Zhang Yang who was bored, shook his head and followed.

There were only three of them in today's press conference. After entering, they did not wait until nine o'clock, and officially started at 8:43.

On the wall behind the whole scene, there was a poster of a scene of a rough sea, with the words "Her Disappearance Press Conference" written in the center of the poster.

Below are written the names of the four producers, Ocean Studios, Fiber Optic, Paramount, and Vanta.

There is a long table in front of the poster, with Zhang Yang sitting in the middle, Liu Yifei on the left and Xiao Lizi on the right.

Zhang Yang cleared his throat, turned on the microphone, and formally began to speak:

Good morning, dear friends from the media, welcome everyone...

After Zhang Yang's speech, Liu Yifei and Xiao Lizi spoke one after another.

What follows is the media Q&A session that everyone loves to hear. Before starting, the assistant took the microphone and told the media: "Please don't bring up irrelevant topics today. Thank you all."

Soon, Soufu grabbed the first question.

Sofu Entertainment: Director Zhang Yang, how did you come up with such a story about a missing wife?

The media only knew that this was a story about a husband teaming up with a lawyer to find a wife. They didn’t know much about the specifics.

Zhang Yang: I got the inspiration from reading a novel, and then I thought of the framework of an old movie, and this movie came about.

When Zhang Yang bought the copyright of "Trap for Bachelors", he had confidentiality requirements, so as long as he didn't want to tell, the media could only guess.

The media reporters immediately started to chirp, Zhang Yang actually adapted the script again? It’s still a commercial film, which is strange!
A reporter from Fengxing Entertainment asked curiously: Director, I don’t know which movie it is adapted from.

Zhang Yang: It’s a Su Lian movie. As for more, you will know when the movie is released.

This made the media reporters even more curious. After so many years of disintegration of Su Liandu, Zhang Yang actually found a movie that could be adapted?

Next, a reporter from iQiyi asked Xiao Lizi a question directly. For the first time today, Liu Yifei was the last one to be asked a question by a reporter.

iQiyi: Leon, I heard that you took the initiative to recommend yourself to director Zhang Yang. Is this true?
Xiao Lizi nodded casually: Yes, Director Zhang Yang has always been someone I wanted to work with, and this time I finally got my wish.

The media heard what Xiao Lizi said personally, and they have the news for tomorrow.

Youtu Entertainment: Yifei, what are your expectations for working with Xiao Li Zi this time?

Liu Yifei's official words: I hope this cooperation can bring a good movie to the audience...

Media reporters from Youtu have not given up yet: Of the two scripts directed by Zhang Yang this time, "Determination to Break Up" was released first. Why did "The Disappearance of Her" be filmed first?

Liu Yifei looked at the reporter with a sweet smile: You need to ask the director about this.

The reporter felt a pang of regret in his heart. If he could get the answer from Zhang Yang, would he still ask you?

A press conference slowly ended in a friendly atmosphere, and the entire film and television base began to be cleared. From today on, this base cannot be entered or exited at will.

Since Shu Chang, Tang Yan and Wu Jing were not present, the scenes with Xiao Lizi and Liu Yifei were filmed first.

Time flies by on the 27th, and DiCaprio’s one-man show has come to an end. Today in the bar, Liu Yifei makes her official debut.

Today she was wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket and a tan vest, looking particularly chic.

She wants to play pool!
Zhang Yang stood next to Liu Yifei and said to her very relaxedly: "I asked you to watch the moves of the Nine-Ball Queen Pan Xiaoting. Remember them all! Remember that the moves must be handsome, the result is not important."

Liu Yifei nodded, wasn't she just trying to be cool? She is the best at it, so many magazines were shot for nothing?

After explaining to her, Zhang Yang walked behind the monitor and sat down, picked up the walkie-talkie and started casually.

Liu Yifei grabbed the cue and set up the POS. Xiao Lizi looked at her and thought that Crystal is very good at playing billiards. If there is a chance in the future, we should have a good discussion.

Liu Yifei casually took out the club and hit it crookedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, people make mistakes, horses make mistakes, let's do it again." Zhang Yang comforted her.

Liu Yifei didn't take it seriously. She was ready to take another shot, but the "Pak Chi" was crooked again, and she also hit the white ball into the hole.

Liu Yifei couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

Xiao Lizi felt that he couldn't help it anymore. He touched his lips and chin to prevent himself from laughing out loud, and they still had to cooperate.

Other staff members were also trying not to laugh.

"Do it again." Zhang Yang didn't take it to heart at all.

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, Liu Yifei quickly calmed down. She failed eight or nine times in the morning.

Zhang Yang was behind the monitor and said feebly: "Do it again."

When Liu Yifei heard that Zhang Yang's tone was wrong, she puffed her lips and looked at him.

When Zhang Yang saw this scene, he felt that the optical POS was not reliable at all.

"Yifei, you have to remember that great strength works wonders and you have to use force to hit the rod. You can do it." Zhang Yang encouraged again. Liu Yifei nodded, thinking that the person hitting the ball was not a white ball, but her enemy. As for who the enemy was..., only she knew.

Following Liu Yifei's vicious shot, she scored a hole-in-one.

"Okay." The audience burst into warm applause, and this period finally passed.

"Fill in a few more shots of the first shot, Yifei. The posture must be cool and the hands must be strong. Are all your muscles just for fun?" Zhang Yang used a provocation method on her.

Liu Yifei now gained confidence. She took the powder and tinkered with the tip of the club pretending to be very skilled, and then nodded confidently.

This shot was very good. After the shot, Liu Yifei came to Zhang Yang with a smile: "My shot was not bad!"

"It's okay, it's okay. At least Zhang Hongyi is definitely not as good as you." Zhang Yang said perfunctorily.

Just kidding, the billiards scene is over and Zhang Yang still wants to coax her.

The day of shooting passed quickly. Everyone returned to the hotel in the evening, and his assistant told him one thing. The Venice Film Festival shortlist was announced, and "Breaking Silence" was, as expected, shortlisted for the main competition.

Zhang Yang nodded and thought of another thing: "How is the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2"?" It was also released today.

"The box office is more than 8000 million, and it should be 1.5 million today. His current box office forecast is around 16 billion." The assistant said the news, which surprised Zhang Yang.

"so little?"

Liu Yifei and her assistant were even more surprised after hearing Zhang Yang's words. Is such a large box office too small?

"Because of the investment from the boss lady, today's film schedule has already reached 20%. Otherwise, it might be even worse." The assistant explained to Zhang Yang.

Time flies so fast during filming, and in a blink of an eye, August 8rd has arrived.

This morning, Zhang Yang was filming as usual, a scene between DiCaprio and Southeast Asian troupes.

As the fat aunt murmured in Southeast Asian language, Xiao Lizi decisively retreated, and he burst into laughter.

"Sorry, sorry, director." He apologized decisively to Zhang Yang.

"It's okay, continue." Zhang Yang looked calm, he had never seen anything.

The second time, the aunt jabbered again, and Little Plum was stunned.

"Hey, Leon, what are you doing? Say your lines." Zhang Yang looked at Xiao Lizi who didn't say anything and shouted "click", and then shouted to Xiao Lizi.

"Director, you have to understand me. After listening to her words, I was completely confused and my mind went blank." Xiao Lizi opened his mouth helplessly, making the people around him laugh.

Even people who don't understand English will laugh at his expression.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to start again, the Southeast Asian extra muttered something casually, which made DiCaprio laugh again.

"Stop, let's take a break and adjust." Zhang Yang picked up the walkie-talkie and said helplessly.

A group of people must adjust well, otherwise they will never be able to get by in this rhythm.

Xiao Lizi said hello and was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhang Yang: "Leon, please watch some literary and artistic films to adjust your mood."

"OK." Xiao Lizi also knew that this would be his problem, so he behaved very obediently.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. The movie you invested in will make a lot of money." Xiao Lizi also sent his blessing to Zhang Yang before leaving.

Indeed, the box office trend of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded everyone's expectations. It has exceeded 20 billion today, and the Internet's box office estimate for it has changed to 40 billion.

This box office has exceeded Zhang Yang's domestic box office record.

In other words, Zhang Yang's domestic movie box office champion will most likely change hands.

Starting from the release of "Search" in 08, Zhang Yang has been the domestic film box office champion for ten years.

Ten years! All domestic filmmakers really want to say something to Zhang Yang: "Ten years, a whole ten years, do you know how we lived these ten years?"

Now he is fine, he has finally been broken through. This breakthrough is of great significance. It turns out that Zhang Yang is not a mountain that can never be climbed.

In fact, all filmmakers are waiting for this day, but when this day really comes, they feel a little disappointed.

Because the person who broke this record was not Jiang Wen, Feng Pants, Lao Mouzi, Zhou Xingxing, or Xu Guangtou as everyone imagined, but Wu Jing who exceeded everyone's expectations!
A former unknown Wu Jing! He was really like a wolf warrior, fighting for his own share of the world.

There have been a lot of people wanting to interview Zhang Yang in the past two days.

Because although this movie broke his box office record, he was still the biggest winner.

To be more precise, it is Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei's 50% investment share in this movie has long been revealed.

Moreover, Wu Jing, the newly minted box office champion, will soon join Zhang Yang's crew.

If the crew of "The Lost Her" was previously promoted with Zhang Yang + Liu Yifei + Xiao Lizi, now they can add Wu Jing, which is also a bonus for the movie.

Zhang Yang's current state fits the saying: You may win, but I will never lose.

Under such circumstances, it is strange that the media does not want to interview him.

"Thank you," Zhang Yang accepted Xiao Lizi's blessing calmly.

Liu Yifei came to Zhang Yang after Xiao Lizi left.

"Is the box office larger than you expected?" she asked curiously.

Zhang Yang did not answer the question, but instead joked: "I will have to rely on you to support me from now on. You have more cash than me."
