Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

"The boss is being too unfair."

At Liu Yifei's manor villa in the capital, Zhao Liying, Song Yi, and Nazha were invited to spend the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Liying is determined to make a name for herself before returning home in glory, and like last year, she has no plans to go home this year.

Song Yi shared a similar sentiment with Zhao Liying, feeling that now that she had signed with a company, she should prioritize her work.

Naza is a Uyghur, and while she celebrates the Spring Festival, it's not her most important holiday. With her parents' encouragement, she diligently stays by Zhang Li's side to learn acting skills and be a good assistant.

All three women had their reasons for not going home.

Now, everyone is being hit hard by this song.

The urge to call my parents to say hello and show my connection surged within me.

At that moment, they suddenly felt very unfilial, as they had not spent time with their children and had various excuses not to go home when they were away.

"I've decided, I'll go home in a few days, it's not far from home anyway!" Zhao Liying changed her mind.

Her role as the female lead's roommate in "Meteor Garden" finally brought her some fame, making her no longer someone unknown.

However, this type of TV series is not the kind that older generations like to watch. She plans to wait until after watching "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" or "Locking Spring and Autumn" before going home.

If possible, it would be best to wait until after "New My Fair Princess" and "Legend of Lu Zhen" have aired.

The former already had a large national audience, and she was already a popular choice for playing Qinggege.

She was the female lead in "Legend of Lu Zhen".

But now, she has decided to go home first.

As a global artist, I can also bring honor to my parents.

"Well, I'll go home too," Song Yi changed her mind.

Naza stared intently at Zhang Li on the television screen, his thoughts drifting away.

She wasn't going home; instead, she wanted to do something more meaningful.

Inside the television set, Liu Yifei walked towards Zhang Li.

Behind them is a performance scene with a distinctly artistic flair.

An atmosphere of longing and yearning lingers in everyone's heart.

Emotions are like knives, cutting through the heart, stirring up thoughts, and causing memories to drift away.

Zhang Li's superb piano performance added a touch of musicality to the stage.

Liu Yifei and Zhang Li exchanged a glance, and this time they took the lead in singing.

They say that time heals all wounds.

[Unable to resist exchanging pleasantries upon meeting again.]

The evening breeze gently carries my thoughts.

I'm holding onto these worries and can't bear to move on.

The melodious singing voice resounded throughout the studio and spread to thousands of households across the country.

Everyone felt as if a picture was slowly unfolding in their minds, and the colors of heaven and earth were moving.

It's as if you've stepped onto the river of time, looking back with regret and remorse, and your state of mind changes.

The moment Liu Yifei finished speaking, Zhang Li seamlessly took over.

Why not meet in person?

One sentence was enough to make everyone's bones soften.

"It sounds beautiful!" The princess's eyes sparkled with admiration.

He had already decided that if he were ever interviewed by reporters in the future, he would definitely praise Zhang Li highly.

She longed to sing with him, and just thinking about it made her feel incredibly happy.

Even just a glance.

There are too many unavoidable debts in this world.

You are the arrow that pierced through my longing.

"Ahhh~" Liu Yifei echoed.

The two voices are a perfect match.

In an instant, the quality of the song was elevated to another level.

Why not meet in person?

Even just a glance.

Zhang Li's aura and buffs are fully activated.

At this moment, everyone watching the Spring Festival Gala was captivated.

The feeling of having your soul cleansed while listening to music is quite novel.

Looking back on those years of mutual support and companionship.

[The reckless you and I of the past.]

Zhang Li continues singing, with Liu Yifei providing backing vocals.

They originally thought it would be a pleasure to have Liu Yifei sing the climax and Zhang Li provide harmonies.

I only realized now that switching it around is also a kind of ultimate enjoyment.

After the harmony, Liu Yifei immediately followed with the climax.

Why not meet in person?

Even just a glance.

This time, harmony is not needed.

Zhang Li immediately followed up with the climax.

There are too many unavoidable debts in this world.

You are the arrow that pierced through my longing.

Immediately following, the song went straight to its climax.
Why not meet in person?

Even just a glance.

The two seemed to be in a cycle, or perhaps leaving each other with their final thoughts and confessions.

We interact, our emotions intertwined, and our love intertwined.

Looking back on those years of mutual support and companionship.

[The reckless you and I of the past.]

Liu Yifei walked up to Zhang Li.

The latter put aside his feelings, suddenly stood up, and took her hand.

For the remaining part, the two sang together.

Looking back on those years of mutual support and companionship.

[The reckless you and I of the past.]

Fortunately, I remembered your face.

I meet you through memories.

The emotions build gradually, and the story unfolds in a gentle, narrative style.

Without accompaniment, the singing seemed to become even purer.

The two sang a cappella, and together they created an even clearer and more ethereal sound.

"Thank you!"

When the singer finished, the two bowed slightly.

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the audience.

Some people even mingled in the crowd and shouted, "It sounds great!"
The Spring Festival Gala venue also had a rare bustling city feel to it.

But everyone's face was filled with smiles, or tears, a shared emotional resonance.

"sounds amazing."

Tang Yan cupped her cheeks, her eyes filled with deep affection: "I hope that next year I can perform on the Spring Festival Gala with Ali."

Her family members immediately cast ardent glances at her.

"Tangtang, you seem to be on good terms with this Zhang Li. Ask your aunt for an autographed photo," a younger elder said.

Zhang Li gained countless fans with her song "Better to Meet You Once," including many people from her parents' and grandparents' generations who fell in love with this sincere and simple song.

"An autographed photo is no big deal, I'll just send him a message and I'll get one," Tang Yan said casually.

"So, you think you can get on the Spring Festival Gala with him?" Tang's mother asked with a teasing look. "You're not just bragging, are you?"

"Who would be bragging?" Tang Yan immediately retorted, "You haven't watched 'Chinese Paladin 3' either. Ali and I are a couple, okay? We're really good friends."

“They’re a couple in the TV series, but not in real life. I think Zhang Li and Liu Yifei are quite a good match, a perfect couple.” Tang’s mother said meaningfully, “You and they are just ordinary friends, don’t make such a big deal out of it.”

"Which one?" Tang Yan instinctively wanted to argue, but considering that her relationship with Zhang Li shouldn't be revealed for the time being, she said coldly, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Ali and I are very close."

That's a relationship where we sleep in the same bed and know each other very well.

Zhang Li would definitely agree to any request she made.

It's just about appearing on the Spring Festival Gala.

With the immense popularity of "Chinese Paladin 3", all I need to do next is star in two more good TV dramas.

It'll be a piece of cake!
The same conversation also took place at Liu Shishi's home.

"In a few days, I'll have Ali come over to our house as a guest." Liu Shishi added without any hesitation, "He's my boyfriend!"

She was Zhang Li's first girlfriend whom he acknowledged and accepted.

Even if she compromises now and allows Tang Yan, Jing Tian, ​​and Liu Yifei to exist.

Among them, Liu Yifei is closest to Zhang Li, and Jing Tian is even better at giving Zhang Li benefits than she is.

But her status is unshakeable. She won't lose to anyone else.

Meanwhile, backstage at the Spring Festival Gala studio.

Zhang Li was unsurprisingly surrounded.

They all tried to get close to him, inviting him to write songs, ask for collaborations, or even ask for scripts and offer him acting opportunities.

Zhang Li was polite on the surface, but after getting a good deal through handshakes, he was quite satisfied.

Because his stage was in the front, many people were still in the foreground.

After the performance, he took Liu Yifei home directly, and they were able to spend New Year's Eve together with Zhao Liying and others.

This Lunar New Year's Eve was also very festive.

Liu Yifei's relatives came, so she had to sleep alone.

Zhao Liying and Song Yi agreed to sleep together, and they both told her their plans.

“Going home is a good thing. Let’s wait until after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, then you can take the team back directly.”

"A dressing room, two assistants, an agent, and a business car—that way, I can still look good when I go home."

"There's no need to be afraid of setting a high standard; celebrities sometimes need to be appropriately high-profile."

"With me here, you all deserve these."

Zhang Li's strong support made Zhao Liying and Song Yi even more eager to go home.

When the clock struck midnight, everyone ran into the courtyard to set off fireworks, celebrating the first day of the Lunar New Year in a lively and festive manner.

After all that was over, Zhang Li returned to his room to prepare for sleep.

Starting tomorrow, we'll be doing a roadshow for "Love is Not Blind".

While others can celebrate the New Year, he's set to be completely busy.

However, not long after I lay down on the bed, the door was suddenly pushed open.

It was gently closed and locked again.

The next moment, a figure jumped onto the bed and crawled under the covers.

"Naza, what are you doing here?"

Even in the darkness, Zhang Li's eyes shone brightly.

He sniffed and smelled the familiar scent on the soft body in his arms.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could hear the noise outside the door and could tell who was coming just by the sound of footsteps.

"Brother Li, I like you!" Nazha's voice trembled.

Zhang Li reached out and touched the spiky hair: "You know I have a girlfriend, we can't do this kind of thing."

“But you have more than one girlfriend.” Naza mustered her courage to argue: “Why can others have one, but I can’t?”

"You're still young, no rush to make a decision." Zhang Li changed the subject: "You're a signed star of the company, are you trying to take a shortcut and deliberately accept the boss's unspoken rules?"

“So what if I am?” Naza’s eyes were firm: “If you think I’m trying to take advantage of you, then consider it all a transaction, and I’ll have no regrets.”

"If you believe I have feelings for you, then this isn't an unspoken rule. From now on, even if you don't give me resources or promote me, and let me be your personal assistant for the rest of my life, I'll still be happy to accept it."

"I have no way to repay the kindness of saving my father, so I offer myself in gratitude."

Zhang Li: “.”

Having said that, he had no way to refute it.

With such an exotic beauty offered to him, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"There is no turning back when the bow is drawn."

"If you become my woman, I will never let you go in this lifetime."

"Don't regret it when the time comes."

Zhang Li met Na Zha's gaze, her tone serious.

"What does my future regret have to do with my present self?"

All I know is that I like you now and want to be your woman, it's that simple.

Naza had already figured out what he wanted.

She felt that she wasn't smart enough, couldn't think too much, and didn't understand much.

All she knew was that she was willing to risk everything for this man and wanted to become his woman. She was qualified and had the opportunity, so she put it into practice.

"And," Naza blinked her beautiful eyes, "you said there's no turning back once the arrow is released, and you said that once I become your woman, you won't let me go."

"I've already thrown myself into your arms in bed, doesn't that count?"

"After today, will you still accept me with other men?"

Naza didn't say anything more because Zhang Li had already covered his mouth.

My breathing became rapid, my thoughts became chaotic, and my body felt numb.

I felt my body temperature begin to rise.

His eyes turned.

Come next door.

Liu Yifei stared excitedly at her phone, wondering how much the box office would be.

Staring at the ceiling, I suddenly drifted off to sleep.

Silent all night.

"uh-huh."

In the morning, Naza slowly woke up.

"She's awake~"

Zhang Li's eyes were gentle.

Last night, I experienced the hidden exotic charm.

Accompanied by the lively voice, Naza drifted off to sleep.

A slightly different voice appeared in Zhang Li's mind.

In addition to increased physical strength and resilience, as well as detoxification and beauty enhancement, it also increases affinity with other races.

[Interracial affinity]: People of other ethnicities will have a natural affinity for you, and will look up to you when you are Chinese, believing that you have the appearance that only outstanding Chinese people have.

It has to be said that this is a very mysterious gain.

"I didn't expect that. Should I go find a few Western girlfriends?"

It seems that focusing only on the domestic market is somewhat limiting?

"Let's ignore all that for now and look at the midnight box office."

"nice."

Zhang Li opened her phone, feeling happy about the box office performance of the midnight screening of "Love is Not Blind".

The midnight screening grossed 89 yuan, setting a new record and becoming the highest-grossing midnight screening for a Chinese-language film.

This 89 will be utterly insignificant in the future.

But now it is extremely eye-catching.

Movies like "Let the Bullets Fly" only grossed a million at midnight when they were released in the second half of the year, and then broke box office records.

"So, it won't be long before it's surpassed by 'Let the Bullets Fly,' but the two are not even in the same league in terms of popularity."

Zhang Li remained completely unmoved.

Knowing that your version of "Love is Not Blind" has a better beginning than the original is enough.

"Please don't let me down."

Zhang Li got up and began to prepare.

"Love is Not Blind" is a small-to-medium-sized film with an investment of less than 33 million yuan.

The male lead is the actor who gave a somewhat impressive performance in "The Message," while the female lead is Liu Yifei, who is considered "box office poison." Many people in the industry have predicted that the final box office will not exceed 2000 million yuan, but it will be 700 million yuan more than the original version, probably because they think the male and female leads are popular.

But they still believe that even breaking even is impossible.

Such pessimistic predictions have led major cinema chains to be unwilling to allocate screen time to the film.

Fortunately, he has Jing Tian, ​​so he still gets enough screenings, at least the same as "Avatar".

The box office results on the first day should not disappoint him.

"Are you up yet?"

Zhang Li got up and went to Liu Yifei's room.

Next, it's time to promote their movie.

"Soon, you'll have another masterpiece."

"You're that confident?"

Liu Yifei stretched out her arms, letting Zhang Li lift her up.

"The box office was 890,000 at midnight. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to surpass 20 million on the first day." Zhang Li's lips curled slightly.

"Really?" Liu Yifei's eyes widened immediately.

She was furious when those so-called experts said that "Love is Not Blind" would have a hard time breaking 20 million yuan at the box office and gave all sorts of "evidence".

But these kinds of things can't be resolved by arguing.

If the box office can break 20 million on the first day, that would be a really cool slap in the face.

Why would I lie to you about something like this?

Zhang Li took out her phone and opened the news page to show Liu Yifei.

"it is good!"

"Let's get up! I'm bursting with energy for today's roadshow!" (End of Chapter)
