Chapter 154 Thank You for Your Shamelessness

After posting his blog, Li Chen went back to eat as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Yawen just smiled and said nothing.

Luo Jin and Tang Yan also curled up the corners of their mouths.

They all smiled and said nothing, which aroused Liu's mother's curiosity.

Especially seeing my daughter's unconcealed joy.

Mother Liu put down her bowl and chopsticks and smoothed her hair.

She said elegantly, "Li Chen, what did you send? Look how happy this silly girl is."

Shu Chang stepped around Li Chen and Liu Yifei.

Sitting next to Liu's mother, he said with a smile, "Auntie, my brother Chen said that he liked Xixi as early as 02."

"Well, she's really scheming. Judging from Sissi's expression, I guess she doesn't know either."

Shu Chang said this while looking at her best friend opposite her and laughing.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but be curious, and the others were also looking at her.

It seems that he is as curious as I am.

She tugged at Li Chen's arm and said crisply, "Is this true, Director Li?"

Li Chen wiped his mouth and laughed, noting that everyone, including Liu's mother, had a look of curiosity.

Without further ado, he turned to look at Miss Liu and asked, "Do you still remember what you wore when you reported to school that year?"

Miss Liu frowned and thought for a few seconds, then looked at her mother.

Liu's mother said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me? I have forgotten what I wore, how can I remember what you wore?"

Miss Liu shook her head honestly. It had been four or five years, so how could she still remember?

Li Chen recalled the past and smiled: "I remember!"

"Blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black baseball cap."

"Mr. Chen drove his Mercedes to pick you and Auntie up."

"I was immediately attracted to her. I just thought she was really pretty."

Liu Yifei smiled when she heard this, and felt sweet in her heart.

"Why didn't I see you?"

“Maybe there are too many people looking at you!”

The others smiled as they heard this.

"The boss has been secretly in love with Yifei for so long?" Tang Yan was surprised.

"Boss, I didn't realize you were so patient! You're already tempted at the beginning of the school term."

"I worked hard for two years and saved up enough money before I dared to show up in front of Auntie and Yifei!"

Li Chen glared at Yang Siwei, who covered his face with his hands and avoided looking at him.

Li Chen looked at Liu's mother and smiled, "But when I turned around and saw Auntie, I immediately understood why this girl is so beautiful."

"Look at Auntie's temperament. When I look at Sissi next to her, I suddenly feel that she is just like that."

"Hahaha"

The young people at the table laughed heartily.

Li Chen flatters his mother-in-law so smoothly!

Even Liu's mother couldn't help but smile, and pointed at Li Chen with a look of anger and speechlessness.

Only Miss Liu kept hitting Li Chen: "What do you mean, that's all! Explain clearly, you bootlicker!"

Li Chen quickly begged for mercy: "I was just kidding. You and Auntie are of the same bloodline. Isn't praising Auntie the same as praising you?"

Liu Yifei thought about it and it seemed not shameful to lose to her mother.

Luo Jin patted Zhu Yawen, who was giggling and giggling, and said, "Old Zhu, learn from Director Li. No wonder you are still single!"

Zhu Yawen immediately closed her mouth.

Liu Yifei smiled and joked: "Xiao Zhu, you should also work harder and look at Brother Jin."

Zhu Yawen was unconvinced and said, "Why would I watch Lao Luo? If I want to learn, I'd better learn from Director Li!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people looked at them with contempt.

His agent Yang Siwei even said bluntly: "Learn from the boss? How much wealth do you have?"

At this point, Zhu Yawen was completely speechless and just buried her head in drinking her porridge.

Several people burst into laughter.

After breakfast, Li Chen and Liu Yifei no longer cared about what was being discussed online.

Yang Siwei returned to China with several artists.

The trailers of three dramas, "My Father's Love 2", "So Young" and "Bad Genius" which has just passed the review, have been released.

She will still be in charge of the subsequent publicity.

Concept posters for "Chinese Partners" and "Painted Skin 2" have also been released.

Yesterday, she discussed with her boss whether to raise the price of movie tickets.

As expected, her boss is still her boss.

Maybe money may be just a vague number to her boss now.

One sentence: "We are not the same kind of people as Zhang Weiping. We were scolded for raising five dollars, but we only got a little over one dollar in our pocket. It's not worth it."

It left her speechless.

This is the second time Zhang Weiping has raised the minimum fare.

Of course there is no problem with the cinema chain. As long as you, Zhang Dapao, don't ask for a higher profit sharing ratio, you can name the lowest ticket price.

The filming of "Thieves" is still going on.

Tim came specifically to pick up Li Chen and Liu Yifei.

In the car, Tim did not shy away from talking to Liu Yifei: "Boss, New Line's The Golden Compass will start filming next month."

Tim's tone was still a little hesitant.

Old Shay risked his entire fortune.

All shareholders of New Line worked hard to raise 1.8 million US dollars.

They vowed to create another commercial blockbuster comparable to The Lord of the Rings to wipe out New Line's decline in recent years.

It brought in a bunch of big names, including Nicole Kidman, and a superstar lineup consisting of the Lord of the Rings team.

Everyone is optimistic about New Line's project, including Tim.

But only his boss.

"Tim, as a professional manager, you just need to do your job well."

Tim's face straightened: "I know, boss."

Although Tim said this, he still had a question mark in his heart.

But since the boss has made the decision and the money is not yours, just spend it.

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "What are you two talking about?"

Li Chen didn't say anything, Tim smiled and explained: "The boss is going to spend money, maybe in the near future, boss lady, if you hold a birthday party again, you will have to change your identity!"

Liu Yifei looked at Li Chen, and seeing that he didn't want to talk, she stopped asking.

As long as Li Chen treats her well, that's enough.

This time in Hollywood, Li Chen followed local customs and held a grand birthday party for her.

Last night, he also gave her 60% of the shares of a go-kart racing track in Shunyi District, Beijing.

She didn't even know when he did these things.

This is a thoughtful gesture, knowing that she likes driving but is a lazy person.

So she doesn't have to worry about management at all.

Her only responsibility is to sit back, collect dividends and drive whenever she wants.

Today's scene in "Thieves" is Julie, played by Liu Yifei, arresting Wei Hong at the airport.

This is Liu Yifei's second fight scene in "The Thieves".

The first scene was filmed in Australia, where he and Charlize Theron were eavesdropping and had a fight scene together.

This scene does not require any physical contact, just light and agile movements and shooting in one go. Li Yujian plays the role of Wei Hong, the boss.

Although he is not tall, he manages to look domineering and ruthless.

During the time that Li Chen was away from the country, he finally left some space for other filmmakers.

The entertainment blockbuster "The 601st Call" invested by Shanghai Film Group invited Zhang Baizhi, the protagonist of the controversial "Love in the Wind", to sing and write the song for Super Girl Zhou Bi.

With Zhang Guoli putting his salary on the line to direct the film, the preview results were pretty decent.

Sixty theaters took in one million at the box office.

Unfortunately, his debut was his peak and the subsequent box office never exceeded one million.

After two weeks of release, the box office was stuck at over 6 million.

Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanping also supported him enough.

Even though it has been abandoned by private cinema chains.

However, cinema chains under China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group still promised to show the film until mid-September.

This drama is the second film directed by Zhang Guoli after a lapse of thirteen years.

Before the release, he had declared that if The Call failed, he would no longer make movies.

Liu Yifei looked at the news online and said with regret: "He is so pitiful. If it was Jingying, would it be better?"

Li Chen shook his head, finding it quite funny.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny about watching a variety show?"

Li Chen put down the publication in his hand and said, "Xixi, when people in the entertainment industry speak, you should just listen to them. Don't just believe everything they say!"

Miss Liu smiled and walked over to Li Chen, sat next to him and took his arm: "He is already in his forties, what he said in front of the media, how could it be false?"

"There are many people in the entertainment industry who lie in front of the media with their eyes open, and I am no exception."

"The positioning of choosing Super Girls as the protagonists is problematic in itself. Think about who the group of people who like Super Girls are and whether they have the purchasing power."

“There will be more and more people making movies in the future, but there will only be a few people who understand movies.”

Liu Yifei thought about it for a moment and it seemed so.

Li Chen once said that her two cousins ​​both like Super Girl very much.

But her two cousins ​​are only in junior high school!

"You seem to dislike Zhang Guoli very much." Miss Liu frowned.

I have to say, women's intuition can be scary sometimes.

Ms. Liu can usually make a pretty accurate judgement about a person's preferences based on her feelings.

The Venice Film Festival opened, and the opening film was "The Black Dahlia" starring Black Widow, on Miss Liu's birthday.

Black Widow also invited Li Chen to attend the Venice premiere of "Black Dahlia".

Li Chen was too busy filming "Rogue One" to spare the time, but Black Widow didn't care at all.

She also said that her "Black Dahlia" is the opening film and Li Chen's "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2" is the closing film.

One after the other, echoing each other, she will definitely go to support Li Chen's "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2".

For some women, sexiness has nothing to do with their height. Even with Black Widow's petite figure, she still beats Jolie and Charlize Theron to be ranked first among the world's 100 sexiest actresses.

What's more, you are in your early twenties, the best age.

Han Sanping has already led the "Ip Man" crew to Venice.

Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" was very popular in Venice because of Zhang Ziyi.

Especially Markle, that old bastard, kneeling in front of Zhang Ziyi in front of the world's media.

The name "Queen" not only made Zhang Ziyi the center of attention.

It also created a sensational advertisement for "The Banquet".

Fortunately, Li Chen had prepared a backup plan.

Otherwise, this Venice Film Festival would have been won by Xiao Gangpao and Zhang Ziyi.

Ning Hao also kept urging Li Chen not to miss the Venice promotion event for "Ip Man".

Miss Liu's Golden Swallow has been decided, and Chenglong has given him the confirmation.

It means that Mingkov is very satisfied with Miss Liu, and it seems that he himself and his relatives are fans of Xiao Long Nu.

Chenglong is also promoting "Baby Project" in China.

He revealed to domestic movie fans that his new film "The Monkey King" co-produced with Li Lianjie is now ready except for the title.

As soon as the news was announced, domestic film and television companies immediately took action.

On September 5th, "Thieves Gate" was successfully completed.

Richard from Warner, Tim from Panda, and Li Chen held a wrap-up press conference in Hollywood.

From the first day of filming, Warner got into the swing of things.

The concept poster of "Thieves Gate" was released in advance.

During the filming, the Hollywood media and TV stations continued to report on the filming highlights.

Finished filming of "Thieves Gate".

Zhang Hanyu and others returned to China. He will still be filming "Assembly" in October. When they parted, he also expressed his gratitude to Li Chen.

"Thieves" was his first Hollywood blockbuster, in which he played the male lead.

"Assembly" is his first domestic blockbuster and also the first time he plays the leading male role.

Good things seemed to happen to him one after another.

He was so grateful to Li Chen that he could not express it in words and felt that "The Thieves" had brought him good luck.

After seeing them off, Li Chen accompanied Miss Liu to watch "Miami Vice", which has not yet been released in China.

It seems that the film will not be released in the short term, and at least a few of Gong Li’s passionate scenes will have to be cut out.

"Miami Vice", which cost 2.5 million US dollars, was released in the United States for one month.

However, the box office was only 6300 million, one-third short of the expected million.

Losing money is inevitable.

The two walked out of the cinema arm in arm, and Miss Liu was still muttering, "It's not good, not as good as Cheng Long's Rush Hour."

Indeed, Li Chen also thinks so.

Gong Li's several passionate scenes are nothing special.

As a woman who plays a gangster boss, there is definitely no problem with her aura, but that’s also because of this.

This makes Gong Li look more like a gangster boss, and the blond male lead look like a little woman.

After getting in the car, Miss Liu suddenly became silent.

Li Chen held her hand and squeezed it: "What are you thinking about?"

Miss Liu pursed her lips and smiled: "I was thinking, it seems like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, two mainland actresses who have made their way into Hollywood."

"The box office performance is not very ideal. I wonder if it will be the same for me in the future?"

Li Chen patted the back of her hand and held her in his arms: "You know how to plan ahead, that's good. But you're just worrying about nothing."

Miss Liu raised her head and smiled: "What do you mean? Do you think so highly of me?"

Li Chen said seriously: "Nonsense! If I don't think highly of you, then I don't think highly of myself. Don't you even look at who your boyfriend is?"

"Can Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi compare?"

Miss Liu tapped Li Chen's forehead with a finger and said with a smile, "Shameless!"

Li Chen laughed: "If I had any shame, my mother would have killed me in the first round. How could I be so lively and energetic hugging you like now!"

Miss Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Every time she and Li Chen argued, Li Chen always went along with what she said.

He made some seemingly far-fetched statements in a nonsensical manner.

But after thinking about it carefully, she found that the excuse made sense and left her speechless.

Thinking back to when my mother was on guard against Li Chen like a wolf, if she had been a little more thin-skinned, the two of them might not have been destined to be together.

Miss Liu put her arms around Li Chen's neck and stared at him with her eyes as bright as stars.

Regardless of whether the driver could hear him or not, he whispered in Li Chen's ear: "Thank you for your shamelessness! I like it very much!"

"Woo..."

　This is my first time writing a book. I haven’t stopped writing for more than three months. My body can’t take it. The most important thing is that my eyes can’t take it. They keep crying and my eyes are almost squinting. Otherwise, I can definitely guarantee 6000 a day. At least I can keep updating. I don’t stop. Adding more chapters depends on my condition. I worked too hard in the first month... I just kept going on with one breath. Once I let go of this breath, I can’t continue.
