Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 311 What do you think of me?

Li Qiutang also just found out that Liu Yifei had killed the parrot she gave her three years ago.

"It wasn't me who killed the bird. It was scared to death by the cats. I have so many cats at home and I didn't keep an eye on them. And then... I was not at home, and when I came back the bird was dead." Liu Yifei was sad for a while at that time.

Li Qiutang didn't mean to blame her: "What happened to the bird?"

"My mother won't let me see her. I don't know where she's buried." It would have been fine if Li Qiutang hadn't said anything. As soon as he said that, Liu Yifei had another idea, "Buy me another one, one that can talk."

"What if I buy another one and it gets scared to death? You have a dozen or twenty cats running around."

Li Qiutang did not object to his girlfriend keeping a cat, nor did he object to her rescuing stray cats, but he did not support her bringing the cats back to her own home. It would be fine for her to just keep two or three cats at home, but it was a bit inappropriate for the mother and daughter to bring back dozens of cats.

It would be fine if they just picked it up and took care of it and sent it somewhere quickly, but the mother and daughter will keep it at home.

Li Qiutang suggested sending the cats to a pet hospital or pet shop where they could be adopted for free. This would also be a good deed and would keep the house clean and tidy, but Liu Yifei disagreed. She insisted on taking care of the stray cats herself and finding new owners for them.

"Hey, this is for you." Liu Yifei pushed over a square box, which contained a Rolex watch.

"If you show kindness to me for no reason, it's either a traitor or a thief." Li Qiutang felt something was wrong. "Why are you giving me gifts for no reason? Tell me, what do you want?"

Liu Yifei laughed and scolded: "What? This is given to you by Xiaoshu."

"She gave it to me? Why did she give me a watch?"

"Thank you. Just after filming of The Legend of Miyue, the company gave her the leading role in the TV series Love Is Not Blind. It will start filming next month. She didn't have time to come, so she asked me to give you the gift."

"This is so strange."

But he still accepted it: "Please put it in my cloakroom."

The next day, Liu Yifei finally left Yanjing and went south to Pengcheng to work, and Li Qiutang was able to devote herself to her work.

Both "The Invisible Guest" and "Mirage" are wonderful stories, but if we compare them, Li Qiutang still prefers "The Invisible Guest".

Although he would shoot whichever one was written faster, Li Qiutang still unconsciously focused most of his time and energy on "The Invisible Guest".

There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Li Qiutang had a meeting with her literary planner the day before, and the next day someone in the industry knew that Li Qiutang was officially promoting a new project.

Li Qiutang is now like the elephant in the room, and every move she makes can attract attention in the circle.

No more than 10 people know the specific story of "The Invisible Guest". Many people just know the name and have already started taking action when they heard that Li Qiutang is promoting a new project.

These public relations activities cannot harass Li Qiutang for the time being, as his subordinates will help him deal with them.

"The script hasn't come out yet, but I can tell you the actors I want first, and you can help me find them." Li Qiutang said to the casting team, "The male lead is a successful young entrepreneur, in his 30s or 40s, handsome and stylish. The female lead is an old lady, a lawyer, with silver hair and a son in his 20s. The second female lead is the male lead's mistress, who is smart but cunning.

"There are only three main characters. Please keep an eye out for me and give me a list first." Li Qiutang will personally take charge of the casting of "The Invisible Guest".

The meeting was almost over when Li Qiutang suddenly asked, "What is Ms. Gong Li doing recently? Does she have any play?" Gong Li, the old lawyer in "The Invisible Guest", was the best candidate. Although Gong Li is not yet 50, she should have no problem putting on makeup.

"I'll find someone to contact her." To be honest, Li Qiutang didn't have Gong Li's contact information, so he had to find someone to connect them.

Once the words are out, the whole world knows them.

This is the first clear requirement of "The Invisible Guest" four months after the press conference in Cannes, including the three main actors and their basic requirements.

The industry has waited too long and thought the project was shelved. Li Qiutang continued to perfect the script. Suspense scripts are really hard to write!
One night, Li Qiutang was invited by Yu Qian to go to the pet park.

Yu Qian said that he wanted to take advantage of the last bit of summer and invite some good friends for dinner.

Li Qiutang also said that he had been writing scripts and attending project meetings recently, which had made his mind a mess, so it was a good opportunity for him to come out and relax.

The weather was very good tonight. Yu Qian set up tables and chairs outside and set up an earthen stove. Wu Jing was cooking there.

There were already four or five cars parked at the scene. Li Qiutang parked one at one side, got out and said to Wu Jing, "You are the chef today."

Wu Jing said with a smile: "Brother Qian'er is grilling skewers and I'm cooking. What are you doing?"

"I won't do it," Li Qiutang said with a big curl of her lips, "I'm a guest, I'm here to eat."

The house was really packed tonight. In addition to the two entertainers Li Qiutang and Wu Jing, Huang Bo was also here, as were the guitarist and drummer of Black Panther. There was also a young man named Meng Xianghui, who was introduced as Yu Qian's godson. He used to be the lobby manager of Yu Qian's restaurant and now performs crosstalk. There were also a few people who were said to be friends from the collecting community, but Li Qiutang couldn't remember their names.

While Yu Qian is showing his true nature, don't forget that he is a veteran in the bar and is very familiar with the ways of the drinking table.

"Hey, everyone, I really want to express my sincere gratitude to our Director Li Qiutang today," Yu Qian said, holding a glass of wine. Li Qiutang was sitting next to him. "Director Qiutang rarely comes to my place. He really gave me enough face by coming today."

"No, no." Li Qiutang waved her hand gently.

"Now, speaking in hindsight, Director Qiu Tang was able to win a Golden Globe at such a young age. That's truly an incredible achievement. It's no exaggeration to say that she brought glory to the country."

"I've never thought about this before." Yu Qian was very excited, "Let's have a drink for this."

That’s the opening statement.

Li Qiutang tried to divert the fire from himself and pointed at Huang Bo opposite him: "There is also an actor here."

Huang Bo laughed and said, "Everyone knows that directors are more valuable than actors."

Tonight they only talked about romance and strange things. Yu Qian excitedly introduced his pet park and his experience in raising various animals. It was obvious that he really loved these things.

Everyone also talked about their own interesting stories. Li Qiutang liked playing in the water, so he talked about some of his interesting experiences on the coasts around the world.

"Australia is more fun. I told my diving friends that we should find time to go to the Maldives."

Yu Qian asked his godson Meng Xianghui to perform on the spot: "Say a short piece for everyone to hear." Yu Qian wanted him to show his face.

A bunch of old men get together, what good jokes can they tell? Naturally, they will go down the wrong path.

It made everyone in the room laugh.

The group of people ate, drank, played and had fun until midnight before they dispersed. Wu Jing had been drinking and it was inconvenient for him to drive, so he took a ride from Li Qiutang, who had not drunk.

In the car, Wu Jing asked directly: "Is your director's Cangtianshu Project still recruiting people?"

"Yes, we are recruiting all the time. Many friends in the circle recommend people to us."

"So what do you think of me? Do I meet your requirements?"
