Liu Yifei had no idea that her mother had gone to see Su Zhengnan, nor did she know that the two of them had eaten together and talked about many things.
Otherwise, she would definitely call Su Zhengnan to ask.
Soon, it was the weekend.
The weather outside was cooler than yesterday, but it didn't affect Liu Yifei's mood because she was going to see a movie with Brother Su today.
Most importantly, the script for this movie was written by Brother Su, and he also invested in its production.
Early in the morning, Liu Yifei got up, put on some light makeup, and then wore a nice-looking simple gray coat, paired with an LV monogram baseball cap, looking very elegant and sophisticated.
"Mom, I'm going out to see a movie with Brother Su. You'll have to eat at home by yourself tonight!"
Liu Yifei greeted her mother, Liu Xiaoli, with a smile, then picked up her small bag, put on her sunglasses, and happily went out.
"Eh....."
Before Liu Xiaoli could even call out to her, Liu Yifei's figure disappeared into the living room.
With a loud crash!
After closing the living room door, Liu Yifei happily got into her family's van and said to the driver, "Take me to the Beijing Film Academy."
"Yes, miss!"
The female driver nodded in response and stepped on the gas to start the van.
Yes, that's right!
To make it easier for herself and her daughter to go out, and for their safety, Liu Xiaoli even hired a female driver.
In any case, no men are allowed to work at their house, not even older security guards.
In the car, Liu Yifei took out her phone and made a call to Su Zhengnan.
"Hey, Brother Su, where are you right now?"
"I'm at the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy!"
Su Zhengnan replied with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Su, wait for me a moment, I'll be there soon."
With that, Liu Yifei hung up the phone.
Traffic jams are common in Beijing on weekends, so Liu Yifei got up very early and went out without even having breakfast.
More than half an hour later.
Liu Yifei's nanny van stopped at the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy.
Seeing Liu Yifei get out of the car, Su Zhengnan greeted her with a smile and asked, "You've come so early, have you had breakfast yet?"
"I'm worried about traffic, and I haven't eaten yet!"
"Let's go get something to eat first, and then we'll go to Xingchen Film Company."
"Okay, I'll do whatever Brother Su says."
Liu Yifei smiled and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan took her to a breakfast shop, where the two sat down and ate something to fill their stomachs.
As for Liu Yifei's female driver, she was naturally allowed to drive home by herself.
After breakfast.
Su Zhengnan drove his BMW X5, with Liu Yifei in the car, towards Xingchen Film and Television Company.
It was only a little before eight in the morning.
Traffic in Beijing has started to get congested; a journey that should have taken forty minutes took more than an hour.
When Su Zhengnan brought Liu Yifei to Xingchen Film and Television Company.
Lin Xiao is busy communicating with other cinemas about the film's subsequent screening schedule, since "Crazy Stone" is premiering today, and the key issue after the premiere is the screening schedule.
If the screening rate is not high, it can affect the final box office data.
Su Zhengnan led Liu Yifei into the gate of Xingchen Film and Television Company. Without disturbing Lin Xiao's work, he turned around and went to his office.
Liu Yifei comes here occasionally these days; she's been quite free lately.
Therefore, she seemed more familiar with Su Zhengnan's office than Su Zhengnan himself. She went straight to the water dispenser and made two cups of coffee for Su Zhengnan and herself with a smile.
"Okay, thank you!"
Su Zhengnan took the coffee Liu Yifei had made, glanced at the time, and said, "It's still early. Do you want to stay here and see how they've arranged the movie premiere, or would you like to go straight to the cinema?"
Liu Yifei smiled slightly and said, "There's nothing interesting to see at the movie theater. I've attended premieres before, so let's stay here and see how Sister Lin communicates with the theaters!"
"Okay, then go and take a look!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, then turned on the computer in front of his desk and started looking at the latest news.
Liu Yifei turned and walked out of the office, smiling as she went to find Manager Lin.
"What? You're only giving us a 10% screen time? No way, we won't accept that!"
Lin Xiao held up his phone and argued with the theater owner on the other end: "You've given 'Fearless' a screening rate of over 13%, so why are we only given 10%? If this is how you're going to arrange it, then we need to renegotiate the box office revenue sharing issue."
"Yes, 15%, you have to give us at least 15% of the screenings!"
“I know the Lunar New Year film season is very busy, but if you give us less than 15% of the screenings, then your box office revenue share will have to be reduced by at least two percentage points.”
After Lin Xiao said this, the other party remained silent for a long time before finally reluctantly agreeing to the arrangement of the screening ratio.
"Wow, Sister Lin, you're amazing! Watching you negotiate with the other party is like watching a powerful female CEO!"
Seeing Lin Xiao hang up the phone, Liu Yifei smiled and showered him with praise, clearly adopting the attitude of a boss praising an employee.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "This is not my achievement. It's mainly because our boss wrote a good script. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
At this point, Lin Xiao paused, then glanced towards the boss's office and asked:
"Miss Liu, did you come with the boss?"
Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Brother Su and I came to check it out. Isn't it premiering tonight?"
"Then I'll go report to my boss. Ms. Liu, please make yourself at home. I'll keep you company after we finish discussing work."
Lin Xiao smiled and said something, then picked up some documents piled up on the desk and walked into Su Zhengnan's office in her high heels.
Su Zhengnan glanced at the work Lin Xiao had asked him to report, and most of it concerned the costs incurred during filming, nothing major.
Another issue is the revenue sharing from the film's box office.
Su Zhengnan hadn't paid much attention to this point, but the theaters that arrange the screenings of the films must take a cut, otherwise why would they give them screenings?
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Su Zhengnan glanced at the documents and then signed his name.
Soon, the morning had passed.
At noon, Su Zhengnan had lunch with Liu Yifei, Lin Xiao, and several department managers from the company. In the afternoon, Lin Xiao and the others continued to work on matters related to the premiere.
However, the office location has been moved from the company to the movie theater.
Director Ning Hao and several of the film's main actors arrived at the cinema early.
This was also the first time that they had officially met Su Zhengnan, the boss behind the scenes.
Huang Bo is familiar to everyone, so there's no need for introduction.
Su Zhengnan was meeting director Ning Hao, actors Xu Zheng and Guo Tao, and others for the first time, so he smiled and shook hands with each of them.
After a brief introduction, Su Zhengnan did not disturb their work. Instead, he took Liu Yifei outside and found a nice teahouse to sit down.
Su Zhengnan and Liu Yifei chatted and drank tea in the teahouse while waiting for the premiere to begin.
"Brother Su, has my godfather been giving you any trouble these past few days?"
Suddenly, Liu Yifei spoke up and asked Su Zhengnan a question, clearly still worried about the matter.
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Not at the moment, or maybe I just haven't noticed."
"Oh, I see..."
Liu Yifei lowered her head and took a sip of tea, her little head seemingly lost in thought.
"Alright, stop overthinking. If he really causes me trouble, I can handle it myself."
Su Zhengnan smiled and gently patted Liu Yifei's hand to comfort her.
Liu Yifei looked up at Su Zhengnan's warm gaze, and her unease lessened slightly. She nodded and said:
"Okay, I understand. I won't overthink it."
However, despite saying that, she still couldn't help but let her mind wander.
Perhaps it's because Chen Jinfei controlled me since I was a child, and I have some psychological trauma from that, so I think Chen Jinfei is a bit scary!
Su Zhengnan smiled and reached out to stroke her hair, saying, "Just focus on memorizing the script, and you'll be the lead actress after the New Year. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Su!"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling that her worries seemed to have lessened a bit. Perhaps it was because Su Zhengnan's warmth was so bright that it directly diluted some of her anxieties.
............
evening.
The premiere of "Crazy Stone" is about to begin.
Su Zhengnan took Liu Yifei back to the movie theater, where the atmosphere was very lively.
Although this is the second film released by Star Morning Film Company, with the previous film "Dying to Survive" as a backing, the number of people attending the premiere this time far exceeded that of the previous premiere of "Dying to Survive".
There were at least three or four hundred people at the scene.
Besides directors, actors, and film critics in the industry, there are also many entertainment reporters.
It can be said that this premiere ceremony was absolutely unprecedented.
Director Ning Hao sat on the stage with several lead actors, answering reporters' questions continuously, while flashbulbs went off constantly.
Click click click!!
A group of reporters started snapping photos of the main actors on stage.
Suddenly, a reporter noticed Liu Yifei's figure and paused slightly, saying, "Isn't that Liu Yifei? And who's that next to her, the boyfriend she announced?"
Click!
Thinking of this, the reporter started taking pictures of Liu Yifei and Su Zhengnan.
There were so many flashes of light at the scene, and dozens of reporters were taking pictures.
So Su Zhengnan didn't notice that someone was filming him, and he pulled Liu Yifei to sit down in the front.
As soon as he sat down, Su Zhengnan turned around and looked around, and found several of his colleagues from the hospital sitting to his right.
Clearly, these colleagues had come here to attend the premiere with the movie tickets he had given them.
But why is it that I don't seem to have seen Deputy Director Feng?
Su Zhengnan looked around and remembered that Deputy Director Feng had taken two movie tickets with him.
But there was no one in the spot that should have been his.
Perhaps they're still on their way?
After all, this is just the premiere press conference; the official screening will be more than half an hour away!
Without thinking much, Su Zhengnan took Liu Yifei's small hand and quietly sat down in his seat, feeling the softness from her small hand.
Being held by the hand by Su Zhengnan in such a public place, Liu Yifei's expression changed slightly, and she quickly lowered the brim of her hat.
Although she has already publicly announced her relationship on her Weibo account.
But she is still a nineteen-year-old girl.
Putting aside her acting skills while filming, Liu Yifei is actually quite shy when it comes to dating.
