Chapter 770 This Spring Festival is not too cold

At the end of January, when the Spring Festival was approaching, Wu Yuan followed Liu Yifei and her daughter back to their hometown in Jiangcheng.

Because there was no one at home for a long time, Wu Yuan had never taken the Spring Festival seriously and basically just went with the flow. If Liu Yifei and her daughter wanted to go back to Jiangcheng, he would go with them if he had time.

If the two of them don’t have time, he usually stays in Beijing and hangs out with friends.

This year, Liu Yifei and her daughter went home for the New Year, and Wu Yuan had no work to do on the set, so naturally he followed them.

Coincidentally, this year is also the first year after they officially obtained their marriage certificate. They had originally planned to hold the wedding at the end of the year, but because of some preparation problems and the fact that Liu Yifei's grandmother was still around, they changed the date. The wedding date was moved to after the New Year, and they would hold it in Jiangcheng and then in Beijing.

So this time when I went back to my hometown in Jiangcheng, I also had the mission of discussing the wedding.

Wu Yuan didn't have any requirements. He had no parents and no one to help him prepare for the wedding, so in fact most of the wedding preparations were handled by Liu Xiaoli.

After returning to Jiangcheng, Liu Xiaoli, with a beaming face, took the Liu family's relatives, mainly Liu Yifei's aunts and grandmother, to discuss how to have a good Chinese-style wedding.

Yes, the wedding in Jiangcheng will be held in Chinese style, mainly inviting relatives from the Liu family. It can be considered a relatively internal and small wedding.

The wedding in Beijing will be a Western-style one, and close friends of the couple will be invited to attend, which fully takes into account the concerns of relatives and friends about their attendance.

After all, most of the two's friends are from the same circle. At that time, there may be some media reporters who will try to sneak in or take pictures outside, so it is inevitable that there will be some excitement. This will put a lot of pressure on the Liu family's relatives outside the circle.

Although Liu Xiaoli is a dance artist, the Liu family is a relatively traditional family.

Otherwise, Liu Xiaoli would not have chosen to give up her dance career and take care of her husband and children after getting married. This was the common influence of both families and it could even be said to be a coercion. So in the end, because of this incident, Liu Xiaoli and the man had a conflict and eventually ended their marriage.

However, by Liu Yifei's generation, perhaps because of the generation gap, her grandmother no longer cares about things like showing up in public, and there is no requirement for her granddaughter to quit the entertainment industry and take care of the husband and children after getting married. It is entirely up to the young couple to choose their future life based on their own preferences.

Perhaps, it was because of Liu Xiaoli's failed marriage that made Liu Laolao come to terms with it.

From the end of January until the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 2, Wu Yuan stayed in his hometown in Jiangcheng with Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei also took him to visit many places where she lived and played as a child.

On February 2, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei held a low-key Chinese wedding in Jiangcheng.

No media reporters were invited, let alone anyone from the circle. Only all of Liu's relatives were present. The two wore new Chinese-style wedding gowns, performed a solemn wedding ceremony in front of Liu Xiaoli, bowed to their parents, and entered the bridal chamber.

At this point, the marriage of the two has been completed, and there is a real feeling of "I am really married".

After all, we got the marriage certificate but didn't hold a wedding, so there was always a lack of sense of ceremony. In life and subconsciously, it feels no different from when we were still a couple.

But after the wedding in Jiangcheng, they felt that they had entered a new stage in their lives, that they were no longer lovers but husband and wife. This feeling was strange, but neither of them hated it, and they even liked it.

And after they return to Beijing, they will hold a grand Western-style wedding in early March. That will be the day that will truly make a sensation across the country.

At the same time, while Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei were busy preparing for their wedding in Jiangcheng, the domestic Spring Festival movie season also began a bloody and fierce battle.

The Spring Festival period has become the hottest period for Chinese films. Although the top-ranked movies every year do not necessarily appear during the Spring Festival period, for example, movies like "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Monster Hunt" were not released during the Spring Festival period.

But there is no doubt that the month of the Spring Festival is definitely the month with the highest box office revenue among the 12 months in the country, and it is the month with the largest market!

The four films that attracted attention during this year's Spring Festival are "Detective Chinatown 2", "Operation Red Sea", "Monster Hunt 2" and "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom".

Other newly released films include "Boonie Bears: The Transformation", "Miss Puff", "2018th Generation of Ancestors", "It's Nice to Meet You", "The Return of the Great Director", and "A Hundred Stars Happy Birthday ".

Even the 04 film "Dragon and Phoenix" starring Andy Lau will be re-screened during the Spring Festival, hoping to get a piece of the pie during this good time when money can be made.

However, the Light and Shadow Era, which won the Spring Festival championship last year with "The Great Wall", was silent during the Spring Festival this year, with only "Ex-Files 3" released during the Lunar New Year.

Originally, Guangying Times planned to release "Sword Immortal" during this year's Spring Festival. It is a special effects blockbuster starring Hu Ge, with the story of Lu Dongbin's birth as the main plot.

However, after seeing that "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Monster Hunt 2" were both scheduled for the Spring Festival, Li Xiaoping considered it over and over again and finally gave up on putting "Swordsman" in the Spring Festival schedule.

Although "Sword Immortal" can be considered as an IP sequel and a blockbuster movie in the new stage of the fairy-xia movie universe in the era of light and shadow, it is unnecessary to let this movie compete head-on with "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Monster Hunt 2".

It's not that they can't win, but doing so will only hurt all three sides. Releasing three equally attractive movies together will only divert a large number of audiences, resulting in the final box office of the three movies failing to meet expectations.

After all, although Chinese people now have money in their pockets, there are still only a few viewers who will watch 2-3 movies in a row during the Spring Festival, or only professional movie fans will do so. Most ordinary audiences will only choose one day during the Spring Festival to take their families to the cinema to watch a movie, just to join in the atmosphere.

In this situation, a fight between two powers is acceptable, but a fight between three powers would be counterproductive.

Finally, Li Xiaoping decided to postpone the release of "Sword Immortal" until next summer, targeting the vast market of college students!

This led to the absence of the light and shadow era in this year's Spring Festival, and also made the battle in this year's Spring Festival even more bloody.

Because of unexpected things that happened, "Operation Red Sea", a "main theme" movie that was not very optimistic before its release, became the winner in the end.
