Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 204 You Fool
"My Transformer Boyfriend" first found the heroine, and then Autumn Films and Guangxian Films looked for the director.

The estimated cost of the film was 2000 million yuan, and the coal boss alone contributed 800 million yuan, and designated Liu Yifei to star in it. Why didn't he agree?

In fact, the budget was reported to be 2000 million, but the actual cost was just over 1000 million. This kind of romance film doesn't cost much.

Liu Yifei signed an actor's contract on her second day at work, with a salary of 80 yuan - "In Time" had not yet been released, so she couldn't quote a price - and the contract was for 60 days.

Then, Autumn Pictures and Guangxian took the script and Liu Yifei to find a suitable director in the circle to take over the project.

It wasn't smooth sailing. Qiu Tian and Guangxian both wanted to find a female director, thinking that female directors would have an emotional advantage in shooting this kind of subject matter, but there were only a few female directors in the circle, and they might not necessarily take on your film.

Li Qiutang saw the complete script of "My Transformed Boyfriend" for the first time today, and Liu Yifei brought it to his house to show off to him.

"No kissing scenes," Li Qiutang warned Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei smiled and agreed: "No, no."

Li Qiutang thought again and said, "It's not that I can't take a photo. If you want to kiss, you can only kiss me."

"Oh, you are such a jealous person." But Liu Yifei was quite satisfied, "Anyway, my boyfriend will be transformed in the movie, so why don't you go and make a cameo appearance as well."

But Li Qiutang had never acted in a play before, so she was a little nervous the first time.

The more Liu Yifei thought about it, the more she thought it was feasible: "You can just play the role of one of my boyfriends."

"Will you give me a kiss then?"

Liu Yifei was shy: "You are the boss, I am just an actor, I can't do anything if you want to kiss me."

Li Qiutang also felt playful and thought that she could give it a try, so she agreed to Liu Yifei: "I'll do it for once."

Liu Yifei punched him: "Why do your words sound so harsh?"

Liu Yifei stayed at Li Qiutang's place for a long time and then decided to go back. Before leaving, she said, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. My mother said..." She became shy, "She said that you are alone in Yanjing, so please come to my house to celebrate the festival."

This was the reason why she came to see Li Qiutang today.

From this perspective, Liu Xiaoli quite likes Li Qiutang.

"are you going?"

"Go! Why not?" Li Qiutang was afraid of everything and said jokingly, "My future mother-in-law invited me, so I have to take care of it."

The term "future mother-in-law" embarrassed Liu Yifei again: "You..." She couldn't beat Li Qiutang again, "Just come earlier tomorrow."

After that, he left.

At 3 pm the next day, Li Qiutang packed her things and set off for Liu Yifei's house.

Rather than inviting people out to eat or to your home, the latter requires more attention.

"Don't you have anyone to cook for you?" Li Qiutang was now stuck in traffic, cursing in the car, "You're running out during the holidays."

"It caused the traffic police to come out to direct traffic on Sunday, which is a holiday."

After moving slowly, the road was finally clear. The journey usually took half an hour, but today it took one hour and five minutes. Li Qiutang's butt was numb from sitting.

Liu Yifei and her mother’s permanent residence in Yanjing is in Chaoyang. It’s not a luxury house, but it’s not of low quality either. It was bought by Liu Yifei for her mother.

Liu Xiaoli opened the door for Li Qiutang and said enthusiastically, "Xiao Li is here, come in. Xixi, Xiao Li is here."

Even though Xiao Li is usually thick-skinned and shameless, this is his first visit after all. Although it is not a formal meeting, he is still very nervous.

"Come here, bring anything else."

Li Qiutang then put down the things he had brought: "It's nothing, just some bird's nest. You and Xixi can try it if you have nothing to do at home."

Liu Yifei was also nervous. This was the first time her boyfriend came to her house. The last time he sneaked in to apologize and go to sleep didn’t count.

"Yifei, pour the tea. Xiaoli, take a seat."

Liu Yifei was also awkward: "The tea leaves are there, make them yourself."

Liu Xiaoli slapped her and said with a smile, "She is a guest." Li Qiutang said with a smile, "What guest or not? I can do it myself. It's okay."

It's not time for dinner yet, and Liu Xiaoli doesn't have time to cook so early, so she just chats with Li Qiutang.

Li Qiutang's heart was pounding. This was the first time he had experienced such a thing.

"Everything is fine at home."

"The company is good," Li Qiutang felt the need to brag to her mother-in-law when talking about work. "Last year's annual meeting was very successful, and we attracted 30 to 40 million yuan in investment, and all the projects can be pushed forward. ... The account of "The Sound of Wind" is about to be closed, and we should be able to make 40 to 50 million yuan. The company will develop well in the next two years.

"…I am not in a hurry to make a film myself. The intensity of filming in the past few years has been too high. I want to take a break this year. I will mainly focus on In Time and the company's affairs. The company is just starting out."

"Is it tiring to work?" Liu Xiaoli said. Four movies in three years, anyone would say such a director is a model worker.

"Fortunately, we can do things one by one, and once we have sorted out the order, we can get things done faster."

Speaking of "My Transformed Boyfriend" which Liu Yifei just signed, Liu Xiaoli is very grateful to Li Qiutang. She has taken care of her daughter for such a long time, and she has become an insider even though she is not one. She knows how precious film resources are. Although it is natural for a boyfriend to film for his girlfriend, to provide resources for the heroine is not something that ordinary couples in the circle can do.

"If Yifei wants to act, then let her act. My mother also told me to be nice to Yifei and to film for her. We are a family after all." Li Qiutang dared to say anything.

Li Qiutang was not shy, and Liu Xiaoli was even less shy with him. After all, they were the ones who benefited, so they just praised him.

After chatting for a while, Liu Xiaoli started to prepare the meal: "Xiao Li, please sit down. I'll go cook. You don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"

"I don't mind eating." Li Qiutang said, "You can just cook two dishes. The three of us can't eat too much."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "We can't just cook casually during the holidays. Please sit down." Then she went into the kitchen.

Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei were the only ones left in the living room. Liu Yifei still didn't say much, so Li Qiutang teased her, "Why is it that when I come to your house, I'm the one talking and you're the host?"

Liu Yifei said: "Just say it if you can. Didn't you see how happy my mother is when you coax her?"

Li Qiutang said: "I don't want to say that it's my first time here, so I'll show off. How did I perform just now?"

"It's okay." Apart from some bragging when talking about work - Liu Yifei also understood, if not now, when else would she brag - Liu Yifei was quite satisfied with everything else.

The two of them were eating melon seeds, watching TV and chatting.

Li Qiutang saw Liu Yifei's cat walking around there proudly and wanted to tease it.

Liu Yifei said: "It's shy, just leave it alone."

"I can even handle you, so why can't I handle it?" Li Qiutang's family doesn't have pets. "Huh, huh, huh, cat, come here." Clapped his hands.

Liu Yifei's cat didn't even look at Li Qiutang. It walked to the window where the sun was shining, lay down, and curled up into a ball.

"Look, I told you you couldn't handle it."

But Liu Yifei's dog was very sociable and squatted at Li Qiutang's feet, breathing heavily.

"So good." Li Qiutang picked up Liu Yifei's dog and rubbed its head hard. "Tomorrow I will find the most beautiful bitch in Yanjing to be your wife."

"It can't marry a wife, it's neutered."

Li Qiutang put the dog down and asked, "Where's the parrot I gave you?"

"It's hanging over there." Liu Yifei said as she went to get the birdcage.

You know what, Liu Yifei took good care of the bird. She even complained, "It didn't even know how to talk. I taught it for more than a month, and now it can chirp."

"The Green Peach Parrot can't speak." Li Qiutang told her.

"Ah?" This parrot has been in Liu Yifei's hands for half a year, and she seemed to have just realized that it couldn't speak.

"You just found out?" Li Qiutang was still wondering, he should have told Liu Yifei that it couldn't speak.

"You didn't tell me it couldn't talk when you gave it to me. I thought all parrots could talk."

Li Qiutang suppressed her laughter: "You are a fool."
