HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 358 [358] Qi Yuan fires his gun in public, and "Wind Whisperer" will surely fall!
Gao Yuanyuan, who was half-lying on the sofa, and Fan Xiaopang, who was standing at the door, both looked astonished.

Fan Xiaopang's pupils dilated in shock. Could Gao Yuanyuan have really agreed?

Her promise in Japan was just an excuse, an excuse, an excuse, don't you understand?

As long as Gao Yuanyuan doesn't budge, Qi Yuan will never achieve that goal.

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Fan Xiaopang in utter shock: "Didn't you say you were spending tonight alone?"

Fan Xiaopang retorted, "Didn't you say?"

"..."

Both of them cursed the other in their hearts as a scheming bitch.

We agreed to keep quiet tonight and not bother Qi Yuan, but both of them showed up here.

Alliance agreements are indeed something that are signed but then torn up.

Gao Yuanyuan launched the first attack: "Xiao Fan'er, you're getting bolder and bolder. I forgave you for your mistakes in the past. Today, your brother-in-law and I are celebrating the New Year, and you actually dare to come to our door."

Fan Xiaopang was quick-witted. She looked directly at Qi Yuan and questioned him, "What did you mean when you said you came at the perfect time? What are you planning to do? I suspect you have ulterior motives."

Gao Yuanyuan's attention was instantly diverted, and she looked at Qi Yuan with a wary gaze.

This man has ulterior motives; he called both of them here together. Could it be...?

"What I meant was that you had a misunderstanding. Now that you're here, you can sit down and clear things up."

Qi Yuan's main characteristic is his thick skin, impervious to swords and spears.

Fan Xiaopang was eager to tear this guy to pieces. Didn't he know who she and Gao Yuanyuan were misunderstanding because of? Bah!
However, she does need a reason to stay.

She considered slamming the door and leaving, but that would only benefit Gao Yuanyuan. She decided that she wouldn't leave the room tonight.

She could just sit there in a stalemate all night; she could be unhappy, but she couldn't let Gao Yuanyuan be happy.

Gao Yuanyuan's thoughts were similar to Fan Xiaopang's. The maid had murdered her master and gone too far. She had to stay here and put Fan Xiaopang's arrogance to rest.

Seeing that the two of them had stayed, Qi Yuan realized that there was a chance and took the initiative to suggest having a couple of drinks.

Fan Xiaopang was not intimidated at all; she had a great capacity for alcohol and was a true Shandong girl.

Gao Yuanyuan originally wanted to decline, but after being provoked by Fan Xiaopang, her competitive spirit was ignited.

Even if she gets drunk to death tonight, she's going to fight Fan Xiaopang to the death.

Gao Yuanyuan's alcohol tolerance was only average, not as exaggerated as later media reports.

Later, in order to play the drunken scene well, she tried drinking real alcohol to get into the feeling, but she overestimated her alcohol tolerance and couldn't even speak her lines clearly.

Even if both of them were tied up, they might not be a match for Fan Xiaopang.

This proved to be true; Gao Yuanyuan quickly became quite drunk, while Fan Xiaopang was only just warming up.

After knocking Gao Yuanyuan down, Fan Xiaopang was a little smug and said triumphantly, "I didn't go back on my word. I promised you in Japan that if Sister Yuanyuan agreed, then I agreed. She didn't agree, so don't even think about it."

Fan Xiaopang felt extremely happy tonight. He defeated Gao Yuanyuan in drinking, the maid successfully assassinated her master, and thwarted Qi Yuan's wishful thinking.

She thought she was very clever, unaware that she had lost a move in the game.

Qi Yuan whispered in her ear, "Originally, your sister Yuanyuan wouldn't have agreed, but thanks to you, it's hard to say now."

Fan Xiaopang looked somewhat puzzled.

Qi Yuan went to ask Gao Yuanyuan, who was somewhat drunk, "Yuanyuan, Xiao Fan cheated on you, and you can tolerate that? Suppose your boyfriend was stolen away by a vixen, and you used your beauty to win him back, wouldn't that be satisfying revenge?"

Qi Yuan had long realized that even though Gao Yuanyuan met him in this life and didn't have the chance to experience what happened later, her core nature remained unchanged.

She loves outstanding men, and she loves outstanding men with girlfriends even more.

Before drinking, Gao Yuanyuan might have thought this in her heart, but she wouldn't admit it out of pride.

He'd had a few drinks earlier, which emboldened him, and he was now showing signs of eagerness. Fan Xiaopang looked on in astonishment: "???"

Are these two adulterers working together to impersonate her?
She strongly suspected that the two adulterers were in cahoots and had set a trap to lure her into it.

Gao Yuanyuan reluctantly agreed, and Fan Xiaopang had no choice but to accept, so the Ice Team was officially formed.

She has a pure and elegant appearance.

A noble and gorgeous woman with a face that could bring ruin to the country.

Both of them are top-tier in terms of looks in the Chinese entertainment industry, so Qi Yuan is also very cheerful.

This is a very meaningful New Year's Eve.

……

Ten days later, on January 10, 2001.

Qi Yuan, who unlocked the Ice Ball achievement, joined Chen Kaige, Lu Wei, and Liu Heping for a talk at the Beijing Film Academy.

The Beijing Film Academy originally wanted to invite Qi Yuan back to give a speech, but Qi Yuan graduated less than a year ago; his grades were good enough, but he wasn't old enough.

After some thought, we decided to invite Chen Kaige back as well and change the lecture into a more casual talk session.

Lu Wei and Liu Heping are both screenwriters for "Red Cliff".

Lu Wei needs no introduction. Liu Heping's current representative works include "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Da Ming Dynasty 1566".

The two of them writing the script together is a good opportunity to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The reason they are here today is because Qi Yuan and Chen Kaige are going to announce some information about "Red Cliff" to the public for the first time.

This was also suggested by the Beijing Film Academy. It's a way to give the Beijing Film Academy a head start in recruitment advertising, letting parents and students preparing for art school entrance exams know about the Beijing Film Academy's strength.

The film "Hero," with an investment of $3000 million, was directed by Zhang Yingmou (who is from the Beijing Film Academy) and starred Qi Yuan (also from the Beijing Film Academy).

The film "Red Cliff," with an investment of 4 million yuan, was directed by Chen Kaige, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, and starred Qi Yuan, also a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy.

Both of these blockbuster films were produced by people from the Beijing Film Academy. Isn't that impressive?
Furthermore, let's see who dares to say that directors from Beijing Film Academy prefer to use actors from the Central Academy of Drama in the future. The male leads in these two blockbusters are both students from Beijing Film Academy.

A few sofas were simply set up on the stage, and four people sat around them, along with a host, chatting and sharing their experiences of success.

In the audience, Dong Xuan and Guan Yue from the 00 undergraduate performance class, Che Xiao, Zhang Songwen, Jia Qian Ge, and other students from the 00 vocational class all watched the dashing young man on stage.

This young senior has already become famous internationally and is currently talking with the most influential directors and top screenwriters in China.

It's no exaggeration to say that at this time, Qi Yuan was the dream of male students at Beijing Film Academy and the idol of female students.

Then came the Q&A session with reporters and students.

Today's speech was a week in advance of the Beijing Film Academy's promotional event, and hundreds of reporters from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan came.

A Hong Kong reporter asked a question in broken Mandarin.

"Director Chen and Mr. Qi Yuan, have you heard what the internationally renowned director Wu Baige said? He believes that the domestic technical level is not yet mature, and that rashly bringing the famous subject of the Battle of Red Cliffs to the big screen could easily ruin a good subject."

He declared that if he were the director, he would choose a theme: peace. These are some suggestions he gave you; will you take them?

Chen Kaige, Qi Yuan, Lu Wei, and Liu Heping couldn't hold back anymore, especially the last three, who really couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chen Kaige picked up the microphone and said, "You guys go ahead and say it."

He is not a screenwriter.

Qi Yuan didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "If this Director Wu is only this good, then please forgive my bluntness, but his film 'Windtalkers' is sure to be a complete flop!"

The whole place was silent!

Is this really that explosive? They're going to open fire right away?
