Actor: My Entertainment Era

Liu Yifei arrived in the United States almost two weeks in advance to prepare for the pre-release promotion of "Pacific Rim".

It stands to reason that with an investment of US$1.9 million, "Pacific Rim" is a legitimate Hollywood A-level masterpiece, and the accompanying publicity and distribution should be "spread all over the world." However, after Liu Yifei arrived in the United States, she actually felt that her schedule was very relaxed, even I have time to chat on the phone with my husband: “I haven’t bought much from online advertising or local advertising.”

On the phone, Liu Yifei was very dissatisfied with Warner's inaction in promoting the film.

"I just saw reports from the United States yesterday," Liu Yifei said, "saying that Warner deliberately failed to do anything during the critical pre-release publicity period, and 70% of the publicity budget was not spent."

Liu Yifei attaches great importance to "Pacific Rim" and she hopes to make a sequel with Toro.

"The publicity contract I signed before is basically invalid now. Since the premiere in Mexico the day before yesterday, I have only accepted two group interviews, and all the programs and interviews promised to me are gone." This is the most unacceptable thing for an actor.

In mecha monster movies, the heroine is not very important to begin with. When the publicity funds were cut, Liu Yifei was even less taken seriously.

Producer Thomas Tull even hinted after the premiere in Mexico that Liu Yifei could return to China to rest.

"Variety" magazine even openly badmouthed "Pacific Rim", believing that ""Pacific Rim" may become this year's "Battleship."

"Then what are you doing every day now?" Zhang Yuanjun asked her.

Liu Yifei said frankly: "I stay in the hotel every day with nothing to do."

"Then you really might as well go back to China to film." If you don't have any promotional duties, just quit.

"No." But Liu Yifei still said, "At least not now. Let's wait and see in a few days. If I'm really no longer needed, I'll come back."

According to Liu Yifei's personality, she will never criticize others. If there is really a problem with the crew's promotion and they don't need her, she will definitely not stick around.

It's okay to come back in a few days.

Liu Yifei is a person who will never feel bored even if she has no job.

Although she has been to Los Angeles countless times, she can always find a suitable pastime here.

No matter how bad it is, you can always spend money. There are so many shopping malls and restaurants in Hollywood, and Liu Yifei will not be bored when she goes shopping with her staff.

She took her two assistants out for a big meal today. When she came back, she saw the rest of the staff gathered around the computer and whispering.

"This is all in English, do you understand it?"

“If you don’t understand something, you can still figure it out.”

"Have it?"

"What are you looking at!" Liu Yifei slapped her on the back, startling everyone.

"Why don't you make any noise when you walk?"

Liu Yifei put her head in front of the computer screen and said, "What are you looking at?" On the screen were the web pages of Facebook and Twitter, and the search result interface was "Taylor Swift"

Several staff members begged Liu Yifei: "Yifei, please help us see if anyone here is reselling Taylor Swift's concert tickets."

Liu Yifei sat in front of the computer and said with a smile: "Want to go to a concert?"

"Yeah. Anyway, we don't have work these days." Liu Yifei gave them a day off, and there was nothing wrong with saying so. "Taylor Swift will have a concert in a few days, and we wanted to go see it, but the official website has already sold out empty."

Liu Yifei stared at the screen page and said: "What is the date of Swift's concert?"

"Number 6, in Pittsburgh."

"It's far away, it takes six or seven hours to get there by plane." Liu Yifei helped them find second-hand tickets online, "The closer the concert is, the more expensive it will be. Taylor Swift's tickets are already expensive, so be mentally prepared. "

Although Liu Yifei's salary is not low, watching Swift's concert in the United States still requires some blood.

"Yes." Liu Yifei finally found a twitter post about transferring tickets, and everyone gathered together, "Original price is 179 US dollars, second-hand price is 500 US dollars, right in Los Angeles." "How much is 500 US dollars?"

"More than 3000."

"It's so expensive. Including air tickets, food and accommodation to Pittsburgh, a concert costs less than 10,000 yuan." They are all working-class people. Even if they want to go abroad for a fun trip, they are reluctant to spend so much money.

Liu Yifei also reminded them: "This may also be a fake ticket, and there is no place to complain if you are fooled."

"Ah? That's it. Let's take a look."

"There is another ticket here, it's only $100, and it's due in Pittsburgh." Liu Yifei found another ticket.

"What can you see on the outermost edge?" They also thought they couldn't see anything on the outermost edge.

Liu Yifei complained to them: "I can't bear to part with the expensive ones, but I can't see the cheap ones. You guys are really difficult to take care of." After saying that, she stood up and left, "Just take your time and take a look."

Liu Yifei returned to her room and called Z Studio CEO Eddie: "Eddie, can you help me get some tickets for Taylor Swift's concert on the 6th? Four people, um, okay, I'll wait for you information."

When Liu Yifei called Eddie, Cindy had already come in. She said, "You are just too soft-hearted."

Liu Yifei said: "I want to see it too."

"You, just be tough."

Half an hour later, Eddie called back and said that he had booked the tickets from the show and would send them to her tomorrow.

Cindy told the others the news, and they were all very happy. They took Liu Yifei to thank her and praised her as the best boss in the world.

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "I only cover the air tickets and accommodation, you can take care of the food yourself."

"I know, thank you Mr. Liu."

But in fact, in Pittsburgh, Liu Yifei didn’t let her employees spend money on three meals a day.

This is Swift's third world tour to promote her new album "Red". The atmosphere at Swift's concert was particularly high, and Liu Yifei, who can sing at the venue, also sang along loudly.

After the concert, Liu Yifei took her staff backstage to meet Swift herself.

Swift actually knew about Liu Yifei: "Crystal! I've seen your movie."

Liu Yifei was very surprised: "I am your fan." Then she introduced her staff, "They all like you very much. Today is the first time to come to your concert."

"Thank you." Swift thanked them and gave them her signed album.

Taylor said she had watched Liu Yifei's movies, and she really wasn't just bragging. In the brief chat, she really talked about "Her" from "The King of Kung Fu", especially "Her".

"I like this movie the most. Although you didn't leave the country, I like this format very much. I like your voice."

"Thank you."

That night, Liu Yifei posted a photo of herself and Swift backstage at the concert on Weibo:

"I'm coming to her concert!"

When Liu Yifei posted on Weibo, it was early morning in the United States time, which happened to be the morning in China. Of course, her fans were happy.

"Ah! The two goddesses have merged!"

"What kind of meeting is this?"

"Can the two of you stop being so close? Please separate. I want to sit in the middle."

Zhang Yuanjun read his wife's Weibo and thought to himself: "It seems like she is really free in the United States." (End of Chapter)
