Chapter 868 The World's Second 'Double Billion' Beauty Director
Enduring the torment of taste, she ate most of the ordinary side dishes that Yufei personally cooked.

Seeing Yufei beside her smiling with satisfaction, Zhou Xia stopped.

If it wasn't for coming back just now, she found that Yu Fei was in a bad mood because she watched the movie "Eye Wide Opener".

Zhou Xia wouldn't torture her appetite like this to make her happy.

When women are emotionally sensitive, a small matter may become the fuse and the beginning of a series of settlements for them.

Compared to Yu Fei's forbearance and sacrifice, what he did was really nothing.

"Have my cooking skills improved?" Yu Fei asked Zhou Xia with a smile, and at the same time handed over a large glass of iced watermelon.

She ate the dishes she made just now, but it had nothing to do with the taste, but she was very happy to see Zhou Xia eating so deliciously.

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Xia nodded, took the watermelon juice, drank it dry in one gulp, and immediately felt much refreshed and comfortable.

"Yiyi, I want to be like Nicole in the future, the older I get, the more beautiful I get. You can see that she is almost 50, but she looks like a woman in her 30s. It's really enviable. What do you think?"

"Okay, sure, our Yufei is the most beautiful, and naturally she is getting more and more beautiful." Zhou Xia replied with a strong desire to survive.

"Then you have to help me, I really want to be the queen!" Yu Fei stood up and came to pull Zhou Xia who put down the cup.

"Okay, okay, I will try my best, and you should work hard too." Zhou Xia reluctantly agreed.

"Well, don't worry."

While the two were talking, they went upstairs again, Yu Fei went to take a shower, and Zhou Xia received the itinerary from Xiao Bai.

After promoting "Sword" tomorrow, he will return to China to join the filming of "The Mermaid".

In "The Mermaid", Lin Yun originally played the role of Shanshan, but in the end Master Xing chose the little yellow duck among the little yellow duck, Song Zuer, Ju Jingyi, and Chen Yao privately.

Zhou Xia was a little surprised, but he understood after thinking about it.

Because of the verbal agreement between him and Master Xing, this role can only be chosen among Xia Hua's artists.

Among these four people, there is really not much room for choice. Song Zuer is too young, and Ju Jingyi has almost no acting skills. Only Chen Yao and Xiao Huangya are left.

Then these two people are not newcomers, so naturally they chose the little yellow duck who has better acting skills and is more famous.

…………

On August 8th, Zhou Xia returned to China, and on the morning of August 10th, she joined the filming of "The Mermaid".

"Legend of Sword" has just passed its fourth week in mainland China.

In the mainland market, due to the release of nine new films in the past few weeks, "Legend of Sword" was assigned to the filming schedule.

But it still occupies more than 50% of the film schedule, and it still won 7.4 million box office this week, only 50 million away from the 0.9 billion box office mark.

The two films have hit theaters around the world, and the box office is among the top five in the global weekly box office.

Zhou Xia joined the crew of "Mermaid" under the praise and high attention of the global entertainment media.

He kept a low profile as much as possible.

But when the staff of the crew saw him being protected by four bodyguards before and after coming to the crew, they felt admiration and even fear at the same time.

"Director Zhou is back, congratulations to Big Boss's movie hit."

After Zhou Xia made up and changed clothes, he came to the shooting scene. Zhou Xingchi saw him, waved and said with a smile.

"Master Xing is polite. He said that he would be able to join the group at the beginning of the month. He ignored the movie promotion and only joined the group today. I'm really sorry."
