Chapter 141 Mother and Daughter Night Talk
Cheng Yu'an hadn't seen Liu Yifei for more than a year. He didn't go to the coming-of-age ceremony held by the girl at the State Guesthouse last year because of urgent business.

Since then, Liu Yifei has been training in singing and dancing in RB, and rarely shows up in China.

Cheng Lingfeng wanted to gain Liu Yifei's popularity, so she tried to send her an invitation, but she didn't expect that she would come.

Although it's a bit late.

As soon as Liu Yifei came, the reporters didn't leave.

The film premiere also brought encores.

Reporter Wu Yang Wu Yang surrounded Liu Yifei:

"Yifei, how is it in RB?"

The first question is not about the movie.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "It's okay over there. There are vocal music, dance and language lessons every day. Oh yes, my album will be released in August."

I didn't forget to advertise myself, and said after I finished, "Today is the premiere of "Crazy Stone", please ask me about the topic of the movie later."

The subsequent interview with Liu Yifei was nothing special.

"Mr. Cheng Lingfeng Cheng invited me, but I'm sorry I'm still late."

"The Japanese and Mandarin albums have been recorded and will be released successively this year."

"Filming? It depends on whether Director Cheng will come to me for a movie." Liu Yifei looked at Cheng Yu'an, who was on the side, and raised her eyebrows.

Cheng Yu'an didn't answer.

Cheng Lingfeng found her in two plays in a row: the nurse Liu Qing in "Animal World" and the younger sister in "Sunflower".

They were all rejected by Liu's mother.

Again and again and again, being rejected twice in a row, plus Liu Yifei's move to the music scene, Cheng Lingfeng gave up the idea of ​​asking him to film again.

After asking about Liu Yifei's recent situation, the reporters ended their interview and left.

Everyone went backstage to rest.

The guests who participated in the premiere had already left when the show was over, and now only the "Crazy Stone" crew, Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei are left.

Cheng Yuan took the initiative to ask her: "How is your Japanese learning?"

Liu Yifei, who entered the backstage, was much more honest, and complained: "It's not very good. After a year of study, I can communicate in a simple way. I can't understand what RB people say too soon."

Liu Yifei's language talent is average, and she speaks English best, but it also has a strong Chinglish flavor, so she can handle daily communication without any problem.

Although her biological father is a French professor, her French is also average.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei asked him: "Brother..."

"What did you call me?" Cheng Yu'an was not used to Liu Yifei calling herself so affectionately.

"Aren't you my senior brother?"

"Oh, you said."

"You...will you blame me for not taking "Animal World" and "Sunflower"?" Liu Yifei regretted not taking these two plays, especially "Animal World".

The box office of this movie exceeded [-] million!

"Sunflower" is also produced by Andy Lau and written by Cheng Yu'an, so the quality is not bad.

Cheng Yu'an knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. The crew chooses actors, and the actors also choose the crew. I'm not Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, whoever is called will come."

"Then will you still ask me to film in the future?" Liu Yifei asked cautiously.

"If there is a suitable scene, of course I will look for you. You are so popular. Didn't you watch the interview just now? The reporters are all around you, and the screams of the fans almost knocked the roof off." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

Liu Yifei smiled, chatted a few more words, and everyone dispersed.

Liu Yifei flew back to the capital overnight, and as soon as he got home, he saw the lights in the house were on.

Liu Yifei's first reaction was "Mom is back".

The girl tiptoed to return to her room without disturbing her mother, but unexpectedly Liu's mother was sitting in the living room waiting for her.

"You still know how to come back." Liu Xiaoli sat on the sofa, holding a book in her hand and didn't know whether she had read it or not.

"Mom, hehehe." Liu Yifei was embarrassed to be caught.

Liu Xiaoli usually doesn't even say a harsh word to her daughter, but this time she was really angry, and said coldly: "I said, why are you so abnormal these days, so you have something to hide from me."

"Mom." Liu Yifei monkey tried to act like a baby in Liu Xiaoli's arms.

"Sissy, do you blame your mother for not picking up "Animal World" and "Sunflower" for you?" Liu Xiaoli was very serious.

"No way. The crew is choosing actors, and the actors are also choosing the crew." Liu Yifei learned and used it flexibly.

"I'm glad you think of my mother like that. Sissy, you have to understand that you are the only baby girl in your life, and everything you do is for your own good." Liu Xiaoli wanted Liu Yifei very late, and she was born when she was nearly 30 years old.

"I know, I will definitely listen to my mother in the future." Liu Yifei leaned on her mother's shoulder.

"Okay," Liu Xiaoli wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'll be right back when I come back, let's rest for two days, RB will wait two days before going there."

"Ah."

…………

The next day, the premiere of "Crazy Stone" in Shanghai was reported.

"<Crazy Stone> Magic City premiered, the audience laughed more than 50 times! "

"The Crazy Work of a Ghost Director!" "

"The most surprising comedy, "Crazy Stone" received rave reviews! "

No small production with a cost of 300 million can attract so many media reports, and all of them are well received.

Of course, it has something to do with spending money remotely to open up media relations.

But the quality of "Crazy Stone" really deserves such an evaluation.

This made Ning Hao and his group's restless hearts calm down.

So the next day when Cheng Yu'an saw Ning Hao, he started to feel strange: "Congratulations to Director Ning, this time it's finally going to be hot."

Ning Hao's wife, Xing Aina, joined him instead: "Congratulations to Director Cheng for making another blockbuster movie."

"Win-win, win-win." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "Don't worry this time."

Ning Hao smiled wryly and said, "This is the premiere, who knows what will happen when the official screening happens."

Ning Hao still had no idea: "Tell me, how much box office do you think "Stone" can sell?"

"5000 million." Cheng Yu'an gave an ideal prediction in his heart.

"I want to hear the truth." Ning Hao obviously didn't believe this number.

Back then, Cheng Yu'an used a cost of 300 million to shoot "Sniping the Telephone Booth", which raked in 4000 million at the box office, which has created the box office myth of low-budget movies.

Can "Crazy Stone" surpass "Sniper Phone Booth"?
"This is the truth." Cheng Yu'an said, ""Crazy Stone" is better in quality than "Sniper Phone Booth". "There are no current promotional conditions."

"Just put your heart in your stomach. By the way, are you planning to go to the International Film Festival for "Stone"?"

Ning Hao shook his head: "This is a local comedy, and it's all performed in dialects. Foreigners can't understand it."

Cheng Yu'an nodded: "You're right. If "Crazy Stone" can really get 5000 million yuan, there's no need to release it abroad. The domestic market is enough. You should take a good rest. The national release at the end of the month will be the toughest battle."
