Actor: My Entertainment Era

"I haven't celebrated my birthday for more than 30 years. I've gotten used to it. How can I let my children not celebrate their birthdays?"

The two children were born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Zhang Yuanjun was unwilling to let them celebrate their birthdays according to the lunar calendar. The birth dates of the two children's household registration and all other information were filled in as January 2017, 1.

The birthday is also January 1th according to the Gregorian calendar.

As the two children are about to turn one year old, the family has already started planning.

Don’t make a big deal, just stay at home and have a good meal.

Liu Yifei also disagrees with the extravagant celebration: "It's just a token of appreciation. It's not reasonable for elders to organize a celebration for us younger generations."

"Does Jiangcheng have the custom of holding a one-year-old birthday ceremony?"

This stumped Liu Yifei, how would she know this?

"We don't have this custom there," said Zhang Yuanjun.

Liu Xiaoli took over the conversation: "Let's not talk about this now, just have a simple meal." Liu Xiaoli naturally treasures her two grandchildren, but it is not advisable to be too strict in raising children. The family raises the two children in a rough manner.

The weather was very good the next day. It was a rare sunny day in Beijing and the wind was light. Liu Yifei decided to take the two children out for a walk.

"Why do you have to come to my place when you can come somewhere else?" Zhang Yuanjun is training horses at Tianjing Dihua Pet Park today. He has a circus in "John Wick 3".

"There's no one here, so I brought the child to see you." Liu Yifei and the nanny brought the child over.

In winter, fewer people come to the racecourse.

The two children were sitting in the stroller, wrapped up like two balls.

Zhang Yuanjun was practicing in the indoor horse racing arena and was not worried about being disturbed by the few tourists.

"Look at dad," Liu Yifei pointed at Zhang Yuanjun who was riding on a horse and strolling slowly, "Ride a big horse."

The kids are so cute watching this!
The two little ones were sitting in the stroller, clapping their hands and shouting with joy.

Zhang Yuanjun's mount today was a very beautiful black Arabian horse, tall, with shiny hair and strong muscles.

Zhang Yuanjun can ride a horse and has good riding skills, but he still has to listen to the martial arts director. After all, riding a horse is somewhat dangerous. Now it is just practice, so he still has to listen to the instructions.

Zhang Yuanjun rode one horse, and two martial arts staff members each rode one horse. The three of them trotted around the field twice as a warm-up.

The martial arts director also asked Zhang Yuanjun if he felt anything was wrong.

Zhang Yuanjun shared his riding experience with the martial arts director: "I feel that the reins are a bit loose and the horse is not obedient."

As they were talking, Yu Qian walked in leading a horse. Liu Yifei knew at a glance that Yu Qian was holding her Mongolian horse named Liu Xiaoma.

"Teacher Yu Qian, how come you have time to be at the racecourse today?" Liu Yifei thought that it was the end of the year and Yu Qian was busy with performances and would not be at the racecourse.

Yu Qian said, "I just finished a round of performances and took a few days off. I heard you were here, so I brought the horse over to show you. How is it? Is it well-maintained?"

This little horse Liu was handed over to Liu Yifei in 14. After that, it was transported back to Beijing and has been fostered in Yu Qian's stable. Now it is 10 years old, which is the golden age for Mongolian horses to be used as servants.

Liu Yifei touched her horse and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time." Since she became pregnant, Liu Yifei has not touched a horse for two years.

"Run two laps today?" Yu Qian suggested.

"Later." Liu Yifei also wanted to ride the horse and run a few laps, otherwise she wouldn't have been so eager to bring the child to the horse farm.

Liu Yifei tied the horse outside the field with her own hands. Yu Qian then pulled his hands away to look at Liu Yifei's two children: "Oh, twins, a boy and a girl, what a blessing." Yu Qian touched the little girl's face, "Is this the eldest child?"

"This is the second one." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"You're so well-raised, so cute." Zhang Yuyi grabbed Yu Qian's finger and shook it. Yu Qian smiled and said, "Hello."

Zhang Yuyi chuckled, looking very likable.

"Thank you for training the horse here." Liu Yifei said.

Yu Qian smiled: "It's not a big deal. This is the business of the horse farm. There are fewer tourists in winter. I have to thank you for letting me do the equestrian training so that I can earn some money."

In the venue, Zhang Yuanjun and the two martial arts directors ran another lap, and then felt that it was enough, so they started running on their own.

"Gee!" Zhang Yuanjun lightly whipped the horse's butt, and the black horse began to run at a faster speed. Because it was in an indoor training ground, it couldn't gallop, but it looked very handsome when it trotted!

After running a circle, Zhang Yuanjun pulled the reins, and the black horse neighed and stood up!

No one else was hurt, but the two martial arts directors were frightened. Liu Yifei, who was watching from the sidelines, was not nervous and wanted to laugh.

After the horse landed smoothly and both the rider and the horse were fine, Zhang Yuanjun gently rode the horse to the fence, looked down from above, and said to his two children, "Dad, wasn't he handsome just now?"

"Oh, oh." The son was very supportive. He waved his hands and kicked his legs. He especially liked his father's performance just now.

Liu Yifei laughed and cursed softly, "Show off."

Only the two little ones couldn't see it. Everyone present didn't know that Zhang Yuanjun had just performed such a flashy act for his wife to see, and the children were just a cover.

Zhang Yuanjun dismounted and took a rest. Liu Yifei warmed up, led her own horse into the arena, and prepared to run two laps.

"You haven't run for two years, so be careful with your old waist." Zhang Yuanjun joked.

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Liu Yifei ignored her husband's nonsense and said, "Come on, mom."

"Mom." The daughter was still waving her hands, but the son was concentrating on the rice cake in his hand and didn't cheer for his mother.

Liu Yifei rode the horse for two laps and finally said, "No, no, my waist hurts after running two laps."

The horse trainer who trained Zhang Yuanjun said: "Yifei can be seen to have a good foundation in riding a horse. With more practice, she will be able to ride beautifully. Many young actors nowadays don't know how to ride a horse."

"It's no big deal if you can't ride a horse." This is not a big problem. "Just learn it. It will take one or two months. It's enough for filming."

"There is no time to learn. We will be lucky if we can join the group training a week in advance." The equestrian master was very indignant about this, but there was nothing he could do.

The couple has rarely been involved in horse riding scenes in recent years, and they are not very familiar with the current trend. Yu Qian added: "The horsemanship master is also helpless. He has to learn temporarily on the set. If he can't ride well, he blames the horse and the master for not teaching well. If he gets a little scratched, the whole crew will stop working and wait for him. It's impossible not to get injured when shooting a horse riding scene."

Chang Wei once said that shooting action scenes is all about who can make it to the end without going to the hospital. If you are afraid of getting injured, then don’t be an action actor.

This was something the couple had not known before. The actors Yu Qian mentioned were basically not in the same circle as Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

Zhang Yuanjun thought about it and said, "It's really different now."

After a short break, Zhang Yuanjun continued training. Yu Qian invited him to stay in advance: "Eat at my place tonight. I'll cook two dishes."

Liu Yifei said: "We have no problem, except for these two little troubles."

Yu Qian said: "It's not a problem. I have fresh milk and cheese here. If you want to make complementary food, I have all the ingredients here."

There isn't much else about Yu Qian, but most of the things to eat, drink and have fun.

Having said that, the two had no choice but to stay at the racecourse and have a meal with Yu Qian. Yu Qian smiled and said, "You are big stars, and I can't usually invite you. Today, you are giving me a treat."

"You're too polite. What's the point of talking about celebrities or not?" Liu Yifei said politely. (End of this chapter)
