Full-time actor

The next day, everyone got up very early.

It's highly likely that people are in high spirits when they have good news, and even after so many days of hard work, they still don't feel tired at all.

On the contrary, everyone looked refreshed and energetic.

"We'll sneak back; we'll definitely give my mom and aunt a surprise!"

Chen Yu simply smiled at Liu Yifei's words, without stopping his packing.

You know, nothing stays hidden forever; once they leave Venice, the news will surely spread.

However, since his future wife had already spoken, he naturally had no choice but to obey.

dong dong dong-

Tang Yan and Luo Jin had already appeared at the door of the room; they couldn't wait to return home.

Venice may be wonderful, but I can't shake my deep love for that land.

Liu Yifei welcomed the two in. There was still some time before their flight, and it was clear that they were both eager to get home.

Only the cast and crew of "Better Days" were on their return trip this time. Jiang Wen had already left Venice yesterday. Ever since he discussed the upcoming film with Chen Yu, he couldn't wait to return to China to make arrangements.

After all, opportunities are fleeting and once they come again.

This time, they're definitely going to squeeze Chen Yu for a hefty sum.

It must be said that the slogan of "begging for alms with ginger" has never been wrong.

Thinking of Jiang Wen's tone and expression yesterday, Chen Yu felt both amused and exasperated. Most importantly, he still had to play a cameo role. In his words, "Why not use it?" He probably couldn't be the lead, but making a cameo appearance was no problem at all.

Chen Yu thought about Jiang Wen's past antics and realized that if he performed too well during filming, Jiang Wen might add more scenes.

In the end, it's possible that the role of Hu Wan, originally played by Chen Kun, was tailor-made for him.

The possibility is... very, very high.

However, if Chen Yu were to play this role, he would not refuse, and he would indeed have given a brilliant performance.

One bowl of noodles or two bowls of noodles, and the character is instantly brought to life.

These days, there's no such thing as first or second lead. Everyone works together to make a movie stand out. With Chen Yu's status, there's no problem letting him play the third or fourth male lead.

As long as the script is good, everything is negotiable, unlike in later times.

Tearing up the order of billing doesn't actually do anything good for a movie's release; on the contrary, it's a harbinger of a terrible movie.

For example... a certain book titled "Sauce X".

***
Pulling their suitcases, the four prepared to leave.

Just as he reached the hotel entrance, a familiar figure appeared in front of Chen Yu.

Mark Muller was walking towards them, bathed in sunlight, and Chen Yu smiled knowingly at the sight.

"Brother Yu, I wonder when we'll meet again?"

"I think I should come and see you."

In public, Marco Müller is the imposing chairman of the Venice Film Festival; in private, he's just their good friend, Old Marco.

"Old Ma, I hope that one day in the future, we can often have meals and tea together in Shanghai..."

"Haha, yes, I'm planning to!"

The two embraced for a moment, and Marc Muller also turned his gaze to Liu Yifei beside him.

"If you two are getting married soon, please don't forget to invite me."

"I am so happy to witness your love."

"Of course, in our Chinese parlance, Chairman Müller, you are also our matchmaker!"

After all, he was the one who presided over this year's Venice Film Festival.

"Hahaha!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while and bidding farewell to Marco Müller, the group boarded the cruise ship he had arranged and headed to Marco Polo Airport.

The journey back home is always exciting.

Even with a journey of more than ten hours, Liu Yifei and Tang Yan remained as talkative as ever, the two best friends always having endless things to say to each other.

This time, in particular, the excitement after winning the award was unparalleled.

Meanwhile, in China, news of "Better Days" winning three major awards had already spread across the internet.

With this news, everyone naturally focused on the topic of Liu Yifei proposing to Chen Yu.

The posters for "Better Days" have swept across the country.

The two individuals, who presented each other with awards, were both hailed as legends, and within just one day, they had become a sensation across the internet.

Countless netizens are discussing that "Better Days," which was already very popular, will surely cause a sensation in China.

"Release date! When will it be released?!"

"I can't wait!"

"That's great! 'Better Days' has returned with honors. Now our fairy sister has finally proven with her strength that she is not just a pretty face."

"Once the release date is set, I'll definitely be the first to book out the entire theater and pay for my idols' passion."

"This time, it's highly anticipated by everyone; Chen Yu's influence is truly remarkable."

"Yesterday's front pages in various countries were all about Yu Ge and 'Better Days'..."

"Really? Let me see!"

"..."

It has to be said that Liu Yifei proved herself with the role of Chen Nian.

As for Chen Yu, his influence has long been global, and this global coverage has excited netizens all over China.

At this moment, Chen Yu was dozing off on the plane. Even though he was full of passion, he could not escape the fatigue of the journey.

The journey of more than ten hours is no joke. As for him, he was completely unaware of the unprecedented scene that would unfold at the capital airport while he was asleep.

Countless fans have surrounded the Beijing airport.

They eagerly awaited Chen Yu and Liu Yifei's return victorious, a cause for celebration for them.

More than ten hours later, Chen Yu and his entourage finally returned to the long-awaited Beijing International Airport.

Having just gotten off the plane, the group of people were all showing signs of fatigue.

But just then, the noise around them made Chen Yu and the others realize what was happening.

"Chen Xinruyi, the more she fights, the braver she becomes."

"For life, it's all about you, Faye."

The cheers outside the airport startled the four people present.

Chen Yu: "..."

Fan culture has returned.

Chen Yu didn't need to deduce it; some things just arise naturally. Although he disliked them, existence is its own justification. This was a reality created by the times, and even Japan and South Korea couldn't avoid it.

The ancestral homeland of both countries, China, was certainly even more terrifying.

It's likely that fans and media reporters in China already know they're returning home today.

They adopted a strategy of "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump".

The others smiled helplessly, understanding their feelings.

only--

The moment Tang Yan and the others stepped out of the airport, they were immediately stunned by the scene before them.

The streets were deserted as everyone was out.

A huge crowd blocked the airport exit, holding banners and their faces beaming with pure joy.

"Welcome back to China to the crew of 'Better Days'! May this be a resounding success!"

The airport entrance was surrounded by countless people, creating a scene even more spectacular than when Messi or Ronaldo were to visit China.

After all, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are not Chinese.

Chen Yu's global fame is still somewhat behind the two of them, but he is Chinese.

This is something that other celebrities can't easily replicate.

Meanwhile, the media reporters all rushed towards where the group was.

Who is this?
This is an international superstar who is highly sought after in Hollywood.

Chen Yu played a crucial role in bringing Chinese films to where they are today.

The company has already sent a car to pick us up, but we can only stare blankly at each other from afar.

There was no chance of breaking through from any direction; both media reporters and fans were going absolutely crazy.

"Thank you everyone for your support. This award wouldn't have been possible without the backing of our fans." "However, this is the airport exit, and it's easy for it to get crowded if everyone gathers here."

"And it will affect others, so I hope everyone can keep order and clear the exit first."

Chen Yu tried his best to remain calm, but he did not expect that the area upstairs and downstairs would be packed with fans waiting to greet him.

As fans of Chen Yu, many of them were clearly very polite.

After hearing what the person in charge said, everyone gave up their exit positions. Although there were some crazy and selfish individuals, the order was generally maintained.

Everyone on both sides tried to pinpoint Chen Yu's location.

"Brother Yu, I wish you and Qianqian a long and happy marriage and many children."

Blessings came from not far away, but these words immediately made Liu Yifei blush.

"I watched the awards ceremony overnight. Yu Ge and Qianqian really brought glory to the country."

"..."

It really sounded like something a fan would say, and Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed listening to it.

The chatter reached their ears, and fortunately, many of the comments were from people hoping to get autographs.

Even Tang Yan and Luo Jin's fans were among the crowd.

This incident is enough to show just how popular "Better Days" has become.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were signing autographs for many fans, appearing very patient, even though they were quite tired.

The reporter seized the opportunity to start asking questions.

"Brother Yu, does our proposal at the Venice Film Festival mean that good things are just around the corner?"

"Yifei, when are you planning to get married?"

"Brother Yu, did Qianqian suddenly propose to you this time? Did she give you any prior notice?"

Chen Yu looked up and saw that there were quite a few foreign media reporters there.

The reason they're blocking this spot is simply to get firsthand information.

The questions that need to be answered still need to be answered. In his previous life, Chen Yu had worked his way up to the top through hard work and struggle, so he was always low-key and humble in his dealings with others.

Once a celebrity reaches a certain level, they have to be mindful of their words and actions, and they have to think before they speak, so naturally, they won't exhibit behaviors like acting like a diva.

Especially since this question concerns him and Liu Yifei, he definitely has to answer it seriously no matter what.

"The wedding date is still under discussion. I will let everyone know in advance when the wedding date is closer!"

"It will also be announced on social media!"

"Thank you!"

With Chen Yu's answer, the media reporters quickly took notes.

It has to be said that having a movie star as influential as Chen Yu in mainland China is a blessing for them; it has given the news industry countless headlines and articles, with a constant stream of material every day.

They've already won big just by copying content from foreign websites.

Moreover, people in his position in the entertainment industry tend to be somewhat arrogant.

However, these bad habits were completely absent in Chen Yu.

Since his debut, he has had very few scandals and private life issues, and in interviews with those around him, he is known as Chen Yu the workaholic.

"thank you all!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

After saying goodbye to a few fans and signing autographs, Chen Yu hurriedly got Liu Yifei into the car.

"Whoo~~~"

This journey can be described as one of encirclement and suppression.

Even those who were about to leave the airport were excited to see Chen Yu and his group.

The four went their separate ways.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were still shaken, but thankfully they managed to escape in time.

I really didn't expect my fans to be so enthusiastic.

"Luckily, we ran fast, otherwise tomorrow's headline would probably be about Chen Yu and Liu Yifei's inaction causing fans to crowd the airport exit."

The fans' behavior has affected the celebrity.

"Stop talking, that's very possible!"

"We definitely need to be careful; we need to keep our schedules low-key..."

Fortunately, the car returned to the villa area in about half an hour.

We're finally liberated.

In addition to bringing back two major awards, Liu Yifei and Chen Yu also brought gifts for their families in Venice.

Meanwhile, the Chen family was clearly eagerly awaiting the return of the two.

……

"The awards ceremony is over, why haven't they come back yet?"

Liu Xiaoli hasn't slept well for several nights.

The thought of her daughter winning the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival made her feel like she was dreaming.

Only Liu Yifei herself knows the hardships she has endured over the years of nurturing her.

She was very grateful that Chen Yu was by her daughter's side.

She was beyond words to describe how outstanding her future son-in-law was.

"Don't worry, Xiaoli, these two children know what they're doing."

"Maybe they're thinking of celebrating their win by spending a couple of days in Venice. They'll definitely let us know in advance when they get back."

Shen Xiaoqin took Liu Xiaoli's hand, and the two were chatting casually when they heard the sound of keys turning at the door.

"Ok?"

Don't think about it.

I reckon Chen Peidong has returned from the company.

Shen Xiaoqin didn't react much; the most important thing now was to soothe Liu Xiaoli's feelings.

Squeak!
The sound of the pulleys rolling on the floor made the two people in front of them pause. When they realized what was happening, they hurriedly turned around to look.

Both mothers were stunned!
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were standing hand in hand at the door, greeting the two of them.

"Mom~~"

"Mother!!"

The two were clearly eager to go home and celebrate with their parents.

So they didn't go anywhere at all, and drove straight home.

Upon noticing this situation, Liu Xiaoli's emotions changed completely. The moment she saw Liu Yifei, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She didn't know why this was happening.

But the moment I saw my daughter, these emotions welled up inside me.

"Sissi?"

Chen Yu quickly let go of Liu Yifei's hand.

Liu Yifei also cried.

Having not seen each other for so long, the mother and daughter must have a lot to talk about.

Liu Yifei ran over quickly and hugged Liu Xiaoli tightly. The mother and daughter cried uncontrollably.

Clearly, there are some things... that only the two of them understand.

Even Chen Yu, who had known Liu Yifei for a long time, had no idea what Liu Xiaoli had gone through and what she had encountered in the United States over the years!
"It's good to be back!"

"It's good to be back!"

Liu Xiaoli kept repeating that.

There is no doubt that a mother is the haven of home.

Having been away from home for a long time, what she misses most is Liu Xiaoli's companionship. For Liu Yifei, her mother is a kind of spiritual sustenance in her life.

"Well, I'm back!"

"This time I'll definitely stay home and spend quality time with you!"

"You've all lost weight... Italian food must be terrible, right?"

Liu Xiaoli's hand stroked Liu Yifei's face, but her face, full of collagen, still looked incredibly delicate! (End of Chapter)
