China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 285 Liu Yifei: Thousands of Miles a Day

Looking into the distance, he anxiously waited for Anne Hathaway, the great hero of the Su family, to return home.

"Mom, why hasn't Aunt Anne arrived yet? Emma misses her so much!" Emma and her friends were watching the cartoon attentively in the house. However, as the cartoon ended, she did not wait for Aunt Su Zhe. figure.

She remembered her father's promise before going out, saying that Aunt Anne would definitely come back before the cartoon was over, but at this moment, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Didi..." Su Zhe saw from a distance that Emma's back was turned to them, and she didn't know what she was talking to Tangtang and the others.

He secretly glanced at Anne Hathaway beside him. Her flaming red lips seemed to be laughing at his faux pas, making him even more ashamed.

"What else are you looking at?" Anne Hathaway noticed his gaze and joked.

"Nothing! Look, they are all welcoming you at the door!" Su Zhe hurriedly changed the topic and pointed to Emma in the distance.

"Dad, Aunt Su Zhe..." Emma heard the car horn, turned around and ran over happily. Su Zhe didn't bother to respond to Anne Hathaway's joke and hurriedly parked the car.

Unexpectedly, Anne Hathaway moved faster than him. Before the car stopped, she couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked towards Emma.

"Emma, ​​do you miss Auntie?" She bent down and gently stroked Emma's head.

"I think so!" Emma responded one after another, with a happy smile on her face.

"I miss you too, okay!" Anne Hathaway responded with a smile and hugged Emma intimately. Su Zhe looked at this scene, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Anne Hathaway hugged the little guy with a warm smile. The little guy kissed her heavily on the left and right cheeks, and she kissed back affectionately.

Da Tiantian smiled and patted Emma's back, and said softly: "Come down, let mom talk to aunt."

Emma got off Anne Hathaway obediently, turned around and pounced on Su Zhe, curiously asking in his ear: "Dad, where is Aunt Anne's gift?"

Su Zhe was amused by this little guy, scratched her nose and said with a smile: "You little naughty, you only know about gifts..."

After hearing this, Emma pouted her lips and retorted unwillingly: "What Emma wants!"

Seeing her rosy smile and hesitant expression, Su Zhe looked helplessly at the scorching sun above his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This little guy is really a living treasure!

The sky was shrouded by thousands of miles of dark clouds, and there was no trace of the crescent moon. Only the occasional twinkling stars dotted the silent night sky.

On the second floor of the villa, the lights were as bright as day.

On the balcony, Su Zhe hugged Anne Hathaway, and the two stood quietly, soothing the tense nerves after exercise.

"It's a bit cold, come in!" Anne Hathaway gently shrank into Su Zhe's arms and patted his exposed chest.

Su Zhe felt her body temperature, and a warmth surged in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead, and then said softly: "Okay, let's go in."

After dinner, the children all went back to their rooms to rest. Emma, ​​who stayed in the bedroom, was coaxed to sleep by Su Zhe.

Zhang Xiaoai and the others also left one after another, leaving the two of them alone in this charming night.

At this moment, they were the only two people left in the villa, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

After talking about Anne Hathaway's achievements and experiences in the past two years, the two of them became very excited and unknowingly stayed on the balcony for almost an hour.

The slightly cold night couldn't extinguish the flames in the hearts of the two of them. After returning to the bedroom, the fierce fighting started again.

Caucasian women have excellent endurance, that is, they can recover quickly after lying down for a while, without any signs of fatigue, as if they want to vent the desires that have accumulated for several months at once.

Su Zhe hugged Anne Hathaway on the left and Da Tiantian on the right. The three of them walked on the red carpet with smiles on their faces.

Reporters raised their cameras to capture the moment, while fans were also enthusiastic, screaming and cheering one after another.

"Who is Director Su on the left? Looks familiar!" Some reporters asked in confusion, and fans were equally curious.

Since Anne Hathaway has not appeared in front of the domestic media for more than a year, the media, which updates information very quickly, has a somewhat vague impression of her.

Only Su Zhe's die-hard fans will instantly recognize this woman who has been silently supporting Su Zhe since his debut. She has basically quit the entertainment industry to help Su Zhe with his affairs.

"Su Zhe, Anne Hathaway, one of Director Su's confidante." The reporters whispered and discussed.

"Yes, if I had such a woman behind me to support me, I could wave my hand as domineeringly as Director Su, and the beauty and money would come rolling in." Someone sighed with envy.

"Go away, go back to sleep!" the person next to him joked, causing a burst of laughter.

After signing their names and answering the host's questions, Su Zhe, Anne Hathaway and Da Tiantian quickly walked into the theater.

They have no time to care about the comments and envy from the outside world, they only think about the next activities and performances.

"The lady just now looks familiar, as if I've seen her before somewhere!" After the three of them sat down in the second row, Da Tiantian looked back thoughtfully, frowned in thought, and then looked at the person sitting in the middle. Su Zhe asked.

Su Zhe thought about it for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Now that you said it, I remembered it. She is Chai Zhiping, the mother of Wanwan idol dramas. It seems that she will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything!"

After a while, Zhang Xiaoai was followed by Han Xueying and Dong Xuan and sat down next to them.

Su Zhe and Da Tiantian changed places and sat down next to Zhang Xiaoai.

"Sister Tiantian, has Chai Zhiping come to see you?" Su Zhe asked curiously.

Da Tiantian nodded and said, "Well, she is the producer of Little Times that Guo Jingming is planning to start filming. She contacted me a few days ago."

Zhang Xiaoai added the reason in an understatement: "She probably wanted to invite us to participate in the filming of our childhood."

Su Zhe knew without thinking that Zhang Xiaoai must be considering the profitability of Xiaoshi. After all, as a shrewd businessman, she would not make decisions easily.

And Su Zhe also understood that as the three of them were the best in the entertainment industry, both in terms of acting skills and popularity, it was reasonable for Chai Zhiping to find them.

Su Zhe smiled secretly in his heart. He knew the commercial value of the Little Times movie series.

It is an indisputable fact that Guo Xiaosi and others have made a lot of money with these four movies.

However, Su Zhe had his own considerations about whether to sign a contract to participate in the filming.

A thought quickly flashed through his mind: If you want to sign, sign them all, otherwise you don’t need to sign any of them.

This decision ensures that they maintain a consistent performance style throughout the series, while also maximizing the use of resources.

However, Su Zhe did not express his thoughts immediately. He is well aware of the complexity and variables of the entertainment industry.

Although the Little Times series has achieved high box office success, Su Zhe does not think this is everything.

He knew that Guo Xiaosi's ability as a director still needed to be improved, especially in the movie Jueji, where his performance was even more disappointing.

In comparison, Lao Han's attainments in directing are obviously higher.

As a producer, Chai Zhiping can at least bring out the postcard-like splendor of the Tiny Times series.

Although the movie has been criticized, at least it is worth watching.

However, the career led by Zhen Yueting and his wife is completely different. They only play capital operations and lack real director and producer experience.

Although it has the reputation of being the top large-scale 3D live-action movie in the country, the results it produced were hugely disappointing.

Guo Xiaosi's performance in Jueji was even more appalling. He didn't even understand the story. How could this satisfy the audience?
Su Zhe couldn't help but feel sorry for Jueji's failure, and at the same time, he became more cautious in choosing projects.

"I'll leave first after the movie is over, and you can come and socialize." Su Zhe whispered in Zhang Xiaoai's ear. It was obvious that he didn't want to see Chai Zhiping. In response, Zhang Xiaoai nodded indifferently. She was already accustomed to dealing with all kinds of people and things in the entertainment industry.

The Little Times series of movies in the previous life achieved astonishing box office results in China, with a total box office of up to 1.8 billion, but the total investment in the four movies was less than 200 million, which can be said to be a huge profit.

However, this also burdened Guo Xiaosi with derogatory terms such as showing off his wealth and being an exhibitionist.

He often debates with netizens on the topic of showing off his wealth and expresses some bizarre opinions.

Careful people will find that whenever Guo Xiaosi's movie is about to be released, news about him showing off his wealth always dominates the front page of the domestic Internet.

This makes people wonder whether this is a deliberate hype method created by Guo Xiaosi for the sake of box office.

After all, in this era, the power of public opinion is huge, and Guo Xiaosi obviously knows how to take advantage of this.

Indeed, Guo Xiaosi tried his best when promoting "Grand Trail", and even some long-rumored personal affairs were exposed. This kind of desperate effort for the movie's box office is indeed worth learning from domestic directors.

However, this kind of hype has also caused a lot of controversy, making people question the quality and value of the movie itself.

As for the "Tiny Times" series of movies, although some people call them fan movies, it is no accident that they have reached a total box office of 1.8 billion yuan.

This movie reflects the strong pursuit of famous brands by ordinary people in China at that time, and reflects a fashion and trend in society at that time.

This also explains why e-commerce companies that specialize in famous brands have become so popular in China.

However, the success of a movie does not only depend on the subject matter and market trends, but more importantly, the quality and production level of the movie itself.

If a movie just caters to a certain trend or fad without truly touching stories and emotions, its success will be short-lived.

In contrast, some directors such as Chao Ge and Xu Guangtou, although their films are also supported by fans, can only make the fans laugh when watching the movie, lacking depth and connotation.

This also shows that the success of a movie is not only the box office, but more importantly, whether it can touch the hearts of the audience and trigger deep thinking and resonance.

Su Zhe really didn't have any other bad feelings towards Guo Xiaosi. Instead, he felt that this guy was really a genius. There was absolutely no simple role for him to rise up from a civilian background.

He is more concerned about the quality of the film itself and the market's response.

As for Guo Xiaosi's height and strength, he doesn't care. After all, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.

That night, Liu Yifei flew directly to the imperial capital and arrived at three in the morning.

Su Zhe was summoned by her to pick her up at the airport. The two of them traveled a thousand miles a day for the first time. This time they met under the stars in the sky. The shy fairy sister simply couldn't resist the charm of traveling a thousand miles a day on the plane.

Many stewardesses pointed at Liu Yifei, who was really embarrassed. Along the way, Liu Yifei buried her face in Su Zhe's chest and didn't dare to show it.

Although this group of flight attendants have already signed a confidentiality contract, there is no telling when this kind of thing will be leaked.

The violent emotions made her mind go blank for a moment, and her soul seemed to be sublimated in an instant.

She knew clearly that she was falling bit by bit, but she was reluctant to refuse.

"Bad guy! Don't abandon me!!!" Liu Yifei bit Su Zhe's shoulder hard!
-
The next afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and Su Zhe accompanied Anne Hathaway and their little princess to visit the Forbidden City.

The grandeur and solemnity of the Forbidden City fascinated them, and the little princess was even more excited to run around in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, enjoying this rare happiness.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoai called. Su Zhe gave Anne Hathaway a few words to keep an eye on the little princess, and then quickly walked out the door.

"Sister Tiantian, have you decided?" Su Zhe answered the phone and asked directly.

Zhang Xiaoai did not ramble on, and directly told Su Zhe the decision she had made after discussing with Wang Changtian: "Well, we looked at the trailer, and it's not bad. Sister Yuxia thinks we can try to release it!"

Su Zhe held his left hand on the white jade railing carved with dragons and phoenixes, and looked around, seeing the majestic momentum of the square.

He smiled casually and said to Zhang Xiaoai on the other end of the phone: "It's up to you to decide. I think if Lao Han's film and Guo Xiaosi's are released together, maybe they will promote each other."

Although Su Zhe said so, he actually didn't think so in his heart.

He knows very well that the scolding scenes and plots in "Tiny Times" will definitely contribute to Lao Han's "The Last Day" and attract more viewers' attention.

However, Zhang Xiaoai didn't notice the smile in Su Zhe's tone, nor did he realize that Su Zhe was secretly holding something bad.

She pondered for a moment and replied: "Well, what you said makes sense. It is indeed possible for the two movies to be released together to create complementary effects.

Moreover, there is now a strong demand for different types of movies in the market. As long as we do a good job in publicity and distribution, we should be able to achieve good results. "

"Let's discuss it again. It depends on what Mr. Chai wants." Zhang Xiaoai's words made Su Zhe understand that although they had preliminary ideas, the final decision still needed to take Chai Zhiping's opinion into consideration.

Chai Zhiping's journey of making films in China is not as smooth as in her previous life. She is actively looking for mainland partners to better enter the mainland film market.

This also made Su Zhe realize that their decision should not be too hasty and that various factors need to be carefully considered.

"It's up to you! Go home early in the evening!" After hanging up the phone, Su Zhe stretched and looked at the tourists slowly walking towards the other end of the square.

He stood here, feeling the weight of history brought by the Forbidden City, and his heart was filled with emotion.

The Forbidden City is indeed one of the major attractions in Yanjing, attracting countless tourists.

Whether it is the world-famous Badaling Great Wall or the Forbidden City in front of you, they are places that every tourist must visit.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was dark and quiet, with only a slight amount of light coming in, allowing people to vaguely see the dragon chair where the emperor went to court.

All this made Su Zhe deeply appreciate the charm of the Forbidden City.

At this time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony looked particularly solemn and solemn under the rising sun.

The golden sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the palace, reflecting dazzling light, as if it has put a golden coat on this ancient palace.

Emma pointed to the dragon chair on the steps and curiously asked Su Zhe, who was walking over: "Dad, can that chair be used for sitting?"

Su Zhe shook his head with a smile and explained: "You can't sit on this. It's the dragon chair where the emperor sits when he goes to court. If you sit on it, the administrator will spank you!"

Hearing this, Emma nodded obediently and said, "Oh, then we won't sit down anymore, let's go outside!"

Su Zhe agreed with a smile, took Emma's hand, and slowly walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the light of the morning sun.

Their figures cast a long reflection in front of the palace door, shining with golden light, looking warm and leisurely.

The little guys ran wildly in the square, and their laughter echoed in the empty square, adding a bit of life and vitality to this solemn palace.

Su Zhe and Anne Hathaway were walking leisurely behind, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Emma really hasn't realized the greatness of this palace city. To her, this wide square is like a natural playground, allowing her to run around and play carefree.

She and her friends here chased each other, laughing and cheering one after another, full of innocence and joy.

Anne Hathaway looked tenderly at the little girls running in front, her face filled with the glory of maternal love.

She chatted with Su Zhe casually and said, "You should take her out to play more often, don't stay at home all day.

Children need to be in contact with nature and feel the vastness and beauty of the world. "
