Full-time actor

Chapter 629 [55] Daily life living with Yifei!

"Cheers, Darling!"

In the rising candlelight, Liu Yifei raised her glass and clinked it with Chen Yu's. The shadows of the two people flashed dimly in the room.

There is still some romance, and you can have a sense of ritual when you meet occasionally.

Soothing music also played in the restaurant.

In addition to accompanying Chen Yu during this period, CAA also got Liu Yifei several endorsements.

Next, the Hollywood blockbuster "Emergency" starring her and Jackie Chan will be released in the summer. Signing it before it becomes popular has always been a common tactic used by many brands.

"Are you used to American food?"

After cutting a piece of steak, Liu Yifei shook her long hair, raised her head, and stuffed the beef into her mouth elegantly.

"It's okay. I can't eat it every day. I should be able to make some Chinese food myself occasionally..."

Chen Yu was used to living alone in his previous life, so of course he could take care of himself.

Liu Yifei chewed, nodded, and after swallowing, she suddenly said, "How about... let me try?"

"try what?"

Chen Yu was cutting the steak.

"Cooking for you!"

"Chinese food?"

Chen Yu expressed his doubts about this. Although he had eaten Liu Yifei's dishes before, the number of times she cooked could really be described as very few.

You can count them on one hand.

Other people improve their experience and skills every time they cook, but she, on the other hand, may have forgotten what she did before cooking.

"Haha, that's fine. Besides filming commercials, I just read books to recharge my batteries. Cooking occasionally isn't a bad idea!"

Liu Yifei is a girl who appreciates the fun of life.

Maybe she didn’t develop the ability to cook in her previous life, but after having a boyfriend in this life, she obviously wanted to try out the saying that if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must capture his stomach to get a sense of accomplishment.

"Well, come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

Chen Yu raised the red wine glass and stretched it in front of Liu Yifei.

"Why does this sound so insincere?"

"No, I really mean it. If you learn how to cook, I will be blessed in the future!"

"Ah, men, they really like women who can handle both housework and cooking!"

Liu Yifei took a sip of wine, but Chen Yu shook his head: "Then you are wrong, some men like this, I prefer to cook together!"

"Or, sometimes you do it, sometimes I do it..."

"Of course you have the ability to make money, but it's not realistic to be in the kitchen every day. Cooking is actually a job!"

Chen Yu respects Liu Yifei's wishes. Some girls like cooking, but that doesn't mean she likes to cook every day.

It is a painful thing when a hobby becomes a job.

The same is true for men.

After a warm meal of more than half an hour of chatting and laughing, Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought: "Do you have a feeling like we are married?"

Anyway, Liu Yifei is much more relaxed than in the hotel.

"That's definitely not the case, but in a few days it should be a state after living together!"

"Adapt in advance!"

Chen Yu threw the plate and fork into the kitchen, and a waiter would come to clean up tomorrow.

"I've always been at your house or in a hotel before, but this is the first time I'm alone with you in a place like this!"

"It's your house too!"

Liu Yifei helped to clean up, and everything felt very new.

This kind of cohabitation is very normal. At the beginning, couples must behave well and make sure not to let the other party see their shortcomings.

In addition, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei hadn't seen each other for a long time, so their love outweighed everything else.

But after living together for a long time, problems naturally began to arise.

However, Liu Yifei lives a more realistic life, and Chen Yu also knows what kind of person she is. The two are still in the freshness period of just meeting each other, and their true colors will be revealed in a few days!
After taking a shower, the two of them rolled in bed, then hugged each other and watched TV.

Chen Yu rarely had any training and instead watched American TV with his girlfriend.

I have to admit that the entertainment industry in the United States is really developed.

“Super video on demand, cinema premium paid video on demand, transactional video on demand, subscription video on demand, advertising-supported paid video on demand…”

Chen Yu randomly changed a few channels and finally saw the charges in capitalist society.

"Now I know why the box office only accounts for 30% of the movie!"

"There are so many subsequent charges..."

Chen Yu couldn't help but complain. Actually, all these existed in China in the future. But in 06, China's television was obviously too monotonous compared with that of the United States.

Besides being free, it has cable!

It's not like the Americans, who, in addition to these on-demand programs, also have DVDs, pay TV, basic cable TV, and non-theater screenings.

There is also a download and save fee.

And cinemas are not just limited to theaters, they also have cinemas in cars, airplanes, and hotels.

“Plus peripherals, product placements, and even theme parks!”

"The Lord of the Rings made $50 billion, it's very possible!"

The total box office of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is 30 billion US dollars, and of course there will be other income later.

“So there’s still no comparison!”

"'Taken' grossed 6.5 million US dollars, and with the DVD and other things, it's estimated that it will not exceed 8-9 million!"

"But in the United States, a movie with a box office of more than 6 million yuan could easily have a total revenue of 20 billion yuan!"

This is still a phenomenal movie in China, so for a movie invested by the Americans with 2 million US dollars, if the box office exceeds 2 million, many of them can actually make a profit, unless the marketing costs are too high.

But in China, a film with an investment of 2 million RMB must have a box office of at least 4 million RMB before it can make a profit.

"When it comes to making money, the Americans will reap the rewards!"

“No wonder the classes are so distinct!”

Just watch the broadcast of this movie and you will know.

Free or ad-supported movies can only be watched on free channels after 2-3 years. This is the market for the poor.

Subscriptions and transactions are low- to medium-level.

There are also various super videos, cinemas with extra charges, movie theaters, and luxury cinemas in the middle and upper levels.

"It's a paradise for the rich, it's true!"

Chen Yu randomly selected a channel, but Liu Yifei, like a cat, curled up in Chen Yu's arms and fell asleep. She was indeed tired today.

The plane arrived in Los Angeles in the morning. Because I was too excited, I didn't get much rest. After landing, I went directly to the South Coast, and then went home with Chen Yu. We had a candlelight dinner and a business meeting... Chen Yu leaned over and kissed Liu Yifei. After a while, he felt sleepy while watching TV and fell asleep.

The first night of two people living together in a foreign country.

The next morning, Chen Yu was awakened by the alarm on his mobile phone. He subconsciously wanted to hug the person next to him, but Chen Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Yifei?"

Chen Yu shouted, and all his sleepiness disappeared. He got out of bed and heard the sound downstairs. He went downstairs and saw a girl in pajamas with long hair draped over her shoulders, humming a song while making breakfast for him. Chen Yu had dreamed of this scene many times.

Now, for the first time, he felt it personally.

Even Chen Yu had never told Liu Yifei about such a simple wish, but after experiencing it personally once, Chen Yu couldn't help but get closer.

Liu Yifei had already heard the sound of Chen Yu coming down the stairs. Feeling a masculine scent wafting from behind her, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yifei's mouth. This was exactly what she liked to see.

"what……"

She pretended to scream, and Chen Yu hugged her tightly from behind.

"What are you doing? Making breakfast!"

Liu Yifei smiled slightly, Chen Yu leaned on her shoulder and sniffed deeply: "It's so good!"

No matter whether Liu Yifei did this on purpose for him or she really wanted to make breakfast for Chen Yu, Chen Yu really enjoyed the feeling of being remembered by a girl, even though the breakfast was very simple.

"I saw bread, eggs, milk and sandwiches in the refrigerator!"

“Just heated and baked!”

Liu Yifei packed the toasted bread with cheese on a plate, as well as boiled and fried eggs, and brought them to the table.

The two of them happily enjoyed this loving breakfast.

"This is the most delicious breakfast I have ever had in my life, except for my parents!"

Chen Yu said this sincerely, and Liu Yifei was very happy eating, with her eyebrows curved into crescents: "Really? Why do I feel like you are flattering me so that I can make it for you every day?"

"I definitely can't do it every day. My wife's hands aren't meant for cooking. Doing it once in a while is called the fun of life!"

"Including me!"

Chen Yu was full of desire to survive. Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and laughed: "He can talk!"

“Do it once in a while, and people will remember it!”

"If you do it every day but don't do it for one day, no one will remember the good thing and will take it for granted..."

"You must have honey on your little mouth, you can talk so well!"

Liu Yifei was sucking the milk, and although she said that, she enjoyed it very much.

Many girls are actually willing to do these things for their significant other, but they need more understanding and praise from the other party, and more importantly - recognition.

Recognize the other party's labor results.

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
Amanda, the assistant who was responsible for picking up Chen Yu to go to the crew every day, rang the doorbell of Chen Yu's new home.

The pick-up car is at the door.

"Sorry, boss, for interrupting your romantic breakfast with Crystal!"

After Amanda entered the room, she saw breakfast on the table of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei. Reason told her that the two of them had a very happy breakfast, because both Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had smiles on their faces.

"Rosa, did you have breakfast? Crystal made this!"

Chen Yu said to Amanda as if to take credit, and Amanda shrugged: "I can see it, but unfortunately I've already eaten it!"

"You have a very virtuous girlfriend, but sorry, boss, we have to go. Forgive me for not deliberately ruining such a wonderful moment!"

Amanda said to Liu Yifei.

"Haha, let's go, I'm done eating!"

Chen Yu stood up, hugged and kissed Liu Yifei on the cheek, then picked up his coat and prepared to go out: "Wait until I come back!"

"Okay, I'll call you if there's anything!"

Watching Chen Yu get into the car, Liu Yifei turned around and returned home. Looking at the furnishings in the house, she felt quite satisfied in her heart.

Is this what cohabitation life is like?
It doesn’t seem as difficult as the legend says?
Liu Yifei cleaned the table, took a deep breath, and prepared to practice yoga for a while and then read a book.

The filming of the endorsement advertisement will take a few days.

Just from the daily cohabitation with Chen Yu from last night to this morning, Liu Yifei has not felt any unpleasantness. On the contrary, she enjoys this kind of life with Chen Yu.

Watching him go to work every day and looking forward to him getting off work every day.

"Maybe it's because it's the first day..."

"After a few days, it won't be so pleasant anymore!"

Liu Yifei was giving herself a shot of prevention, and Chen Yu, who got in the car to the crew, was also in a wonderful mood.

This is completely different from filming on a set.

In the crew, Chen Yu lived in a hotel. He thought about filming and working every day. After get off work, he would find a restaurant to eat or have a boxed lunch from the crew.

The concept of home was very shallow in his mind.

It can almost be said that there is no time, except that he sometimes thinks of his parents and girlfriend in daily life... But now, he has a home very close to the crew, and his future wife is also there. He punches in and out every day like he goes to get off work, which feels more relaxed than any other drama he has filmed before.

Mainly, it's inner satisfaction, comfort and peace of mind.

This is something that no other crew had ever given me before. Even when my wife moved to the crew hotel and lived with the actors, I didn't have this feeling.

Home is home and cannot be replaced anywhere else.

"This is what I want, a normal life as an actor!"

"Filming is work, going to and from get off work..."

“Spend time with my family after get off work!”

Chen Yu sighed secretly, but started looking at the shooting notice for today handed to him by his female assistant Amanda.

A week passed like this.

The imagined quarrels and adjustments caused by living together have not happened yet. Maybe Chen Yu and Liu Yifei don't see each other every day, so they feel extra special when they meet.

Sometimes Chen Yu would cook for them himself, and sometimes the two of them would go out for a meal, stroll along the streets of Hollywood, chat with their loved ones, and talk about topics of common interest to each other.

Watching movies, cuddling together to watch TV, taking walks... Chen Yu had a very fulfilling week.

The warmth of home grew stronger in his heart.

He is experiencing things he has never felt in his previous life.

The same was true for Liu Yifei. For the first time, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to one thing, which was living with Chen Yu. Originally, she came to the United States just to accompany Chen Yu and make up for the pain of their separation some time ago.

But now that they were living together, they had unknowingly fallen into a state where their future was like that of a married one.

At first, Liu Yifei was very cautious, panicked, and tried to restrain some of her habits, but after a few days, she completely let go.

Living together is not as scary as you might think, it is important to choose the right person.

Chen Yu would often be tolerant and try to please her and flatter her, and the same profession would allow them to understand each other and have many common interests.

For example, watching movies and reading books, industry insights, future trends, eating... Compared to many actresses in this circle, Liu Yifei is actually a very simple girl and is easier to satisfy.

Apart from filming, she is very quiet and monotonous. Fortunately, Chen Yu is the same. In some ways, their personalities are similar, but they are also complementary.

"Unfortunately, only one month!"

"Living together isn't that scary!"

In fact, Liu Yifei was looking forward to this trip to the United States with Chen Yu from the very beginning.

Now I am still a little reluctant to let her go, and mentally I seem to have completed the transformation from girlfriend to fiancée.

This was something she had not expected when she first came to the United States.

She really just wanted to accompany Chen Yu, but she didn't expect that now... it seemed like she had trapped herself!

If a woman starts to enjoy cohabitation, then... marriage is not far away!
