Actor: My Entertainment Era

Zhang Yuanjun took leave from the "Dying to Survive" crew and flew back to Beijing with his wife to attend the opening ceremony of the film festival, but the crew did not stop working.

The Beijing Film Festival is not a particularly large film festival, nor is it particularly successful.

So Dior did not require Liu Yifei to wear a brand dress. Liu Yifei's team prepared an early spring tulle dress from Minique Lhhuillier for her.

This is a skirt with sleeves, which can just cover Liu Yifei's arms which have not yet lost weight due to breastfeeding.

The red carpet ceremony was held in the studio of China Film Huairou Digital Base, which was a very ingenious choice of location.

The organizing committee gave enough face to Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

The two of them appeared very late in the order of appearance. After them was the crew of "The Flowers of War" led by the jury chairman Billy August and the crew of "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom", the key film recommended by this year's film festival.

"Next, let's welcome," the red carpet host Xiang Zhen just opened his mouth, and enthusiastic screams rang out from the edge of the red carpet, "our country's outstanding young actors, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei."

“Ah—Yifei!!! Yifei!!!”

“Sissi!!”

Do 10 tickets have such a big effect?
Liu Yifei held her husband's hand and the two walked slowly onto the red carpet.

At the same time, the host began to introduce the two people:
"Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are both outstanding young actors in my country. Zhang Yuanjun is the first and so far the only actor to win the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards. He has also won the Best Actor awards at the Cannes and Venice International Film Festivals. Liu Yifei, as his wife, is also a powerful actor who has played many classic roles for the audience. In 2015, Yifei won the Best Actress Award at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival for her wonderful performance in Pieces of a Woman. She is the first actor born in the 80s in my country to win the Best Actress Award at the three major European film festivals."

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei were still standing in front of the autograph wall taking photos for the media. The reporters wouldn't let them leave, and the guide didn't urge them either.

The host continued:

"At the same time, Zhang Yuanjun has been shortlisted for the 'Focus Figures' screening unit of this year's film festival. We have selected five of Zhang Yuanjun's classic films for screening. We hope that the audience will like them."

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei were released and signed on the signature wall.

After signing, the two hosts in charge of the interview had no intention of letting the two leave.

I finally invited you here, shouldn’t we chat for a while?
"Yuanjun, Yifei, hello, long time no see." Guo Wei from the movie channel is familiar with the two.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Guo Wei casually asked Liu Yifei: "What are you busy with recently? It's been a long time since I met with our fans and friends."

Liu Yifei uttered: "I'm not busy, I'm just taking care of the kids at home, haha."

Although they were acquaintances, Guo Wei almost didn't respond to Liu Yifei's words, but she immediately said, "First of all, congratulations to Yifei for becoming a mother. It's twins, a boy and a girl, right?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations. How about Yifei's child-rearing skills?"

Liu Yifei said: "It's not bad. With the help of my aunt and mother, it's not too difficult to take care of him."

The male host Cao Yang took over the conversation and asked Zhang Yuanjun: "Yuanjun, please comment on Yifei's child-rearing skills."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "I think she is a little worse at raising children than I am."

The four people on the red carpet all laughed. Guo Wei then asked Liu Yifei: "Many fans are looking forward to your new work. Can you give us a little news about your new work?"

Liu Yifei said: "The new play will probably start filming this year." "Can you tell us what type it is?"

"It's an action movie, I guess." That's all Liu Yifei could say.

Cao Yang asked Zhang Yuanjun what he was busy with recently. Zhang Yuanjun only said that he was filming a new movie but refused to disclose more information.

The couple stayed on the red carpet long enough, said these briefly, and then left.

"Next, we welcome the crew of "The Flowers of War". The director is Denmark's national treasure director Billy August, and the leading actress is Yu Nan. Welcome..."

Again, it was not easy to invite the couple here, so the film festival organizing committee must make full use of their influence.

Especially for Liu Yifei, this is her first public appearance after giving birth. If we don’t take advantage of this wave of traffic, we will be doing an injustice to the three words Liu Yifei.

Therefore, she was arranged to be a guest together with Indian actor Aamir Khan to introduce the main competition shortlisted films to the audience.

Aamir Khan is visiting China to promote his new film "Dangal" which will be released in China soon.

Liu Yifei changed her clothes at the opening ceremony. She wore a white top and a black long skirt from Oscar de la Renta's 2017 early fall collection.

Thanks to Liu Yifei's ability to understand Aamir Khan's Indian accent, Zhang Yuanjun was able to understand his first sentence: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Aamir Khan, I'm an actor from India." Then Zhang Yuanjun could not hear clearly what Aamir Khan was saying.

After Liu Yifei introduced herself, she also served as a temporary translator for Aamir Khan: "...He just expressed his honor to come to the Beijing Film Festival, meet his friend the director, and introduce his new work."

Liu Yifei also said on stage that she is a fan of Aamir Khan and likes his movies very much.

But it is estimated that Liu Yifei's knowledge of Indian English is very limited. Her interaction with Aamir Khan on stage was very dry. She only said to him: "You know, you have a lot of fans in China." Such dry compliments.

Aamir Khan said thank you, then praised Liu Yifei's performance in Venice, saying that he really liked "Pieces of a Woman". Liu Yifei thanked him and asked him to look at the big screen to play clips of the shortlisted films.

Zhang Yuanjun was watching from the audience. I guess Liu Yifei was also guessing when she heard Aamir Khan speak. Not only was his Indian English accent strange, but his speaking speed was also very fast, which made it really hard to understand.

When Liu Yifei sat back down after leaving the stage, she whispered to Zhang Yuanjun, "I didn't dare to be distracted at all. I pricked up my ears to listen to what Aamir Khan said, afraid of missing a word."

"I didn't dare say too much, for fear of mishearing and causing trouble." The evening party was broadcast live, and backstage, the director reminded Liu Yifei not to talk to Aamir Khan for too long.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Just now backstage, Aamir Khan said he was a fan of yours and asked me if I knew you."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "What do you say?"

"I said, I know you pretty well. Then he asked me to make some connections for him, saying he wanted your autograph and a photo with you."

"No problem." Zhang Yuanjun would of course meet this request.

The opening ceremony ended quickly. Zhang Yuanjun met Aamir Khan through Liu Yifei's introduction: "You have been deceived by her. She is my wife." Zhang Yuanjun shook hands with Aamir Khan and said with a smile.

Aamir Khan also laughed: "I'm really not a qualified fan. I don't even know who your wife is."

Several people exchanged contact information and took photos together.

The couple flew back to Jinling the next morning. (End of this chapter)
