Full-time actor

Chapter 665 [91] "How did you become the general's wife?"

As the lights come on, the Taipei 101 building pierces the sky like a giant blue bamboo joint in the void.

There is a constant stream of people under the building.

They walked in groups or alone, lovers holding hands and whispering to each other.

Not far away, vendors at the night market were shouting, and the aroma of various snacks filled the air, arousing the appetite of countless passers-by.

The charred aroma of grilled squid, the richness of braised pork rice, and the refreshing shaved ice, each taste is irresistible.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei wore masks, snuggled up to each other, and strolled on such a busy street.

"The Taipei 101 building is truly of extraordinary significance to Taiwan!"

Chen Yu suddenly said something to Liu Yifei beside him. Liu Yifei was ready to listen to what Chen Yu had to say, but she didn't expect him to make such a sudden turn.

Some of them sprained her waist.

However, Liu Yifei still seemed very cooperative. She was used to listening and then responding, which has always been her character.

"Well, the tallest building in the world, of course it makes sense!"

"What if it's the highest-grossing film in the world?"

Chen Yu pointed to a bench not far away, and the two sat down, watching the passers-by hurrying along the road.

"Titanic?"

Liu Yifei said it very honestly.

"Well, does it make sense?"

"Of course, with such a high box office, how could it be meaningless!"

Liu Yifei felt that what Chen Yu said was nonsense.

"So what do you think is the main reason why Titanic is so popular at the box office?"

"Director Cameron, he has the strongest box office appeal in the world. The Terminator, Piranha, and Alien series he directed before were all huge hits!"

“Of course, marketing is more important!”

The marketing of "Titanic" was overwhelming. Even in China, when the economy had not yet recovered in 97, ordinary people in the village knew about the sinking of the Titanic.

One can imagine how much publicity 20th Century Fox and Paramount put in for this movie.

Almost bombing level.

There is no corner of the world where people can afford to watch movies left out.

It is spread through radio, television, news, etc.

People who are not in the film industry would just think that this is a report on a global event, but in fact, it cost a lot of money.

Of course, such a money-burning move ultimately brought very gratifying box office returns.

20 billion+!

It was still US dollars, and this was in 97.

It was also this movie that pushed Cameron, the truck driver, to the status of a god, so that Leo, who was originally unknown and played the leading male role Jack, also became the new darling of Hollywood.

"Don't the two main actors have much effect?"

Chen Yu asked back, the starring actors of "Titanic" are Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet who plays the leading female role Rose!

"Not big..."

Liu Yifei was a little unsure why Chen Yu asked this.

However, in her opinion, the two leading actors did not play a big role in "Titanic".

Because before that, Winslet might have been a little famous, but Leo was indeed not very well-known.

"If someone else plays this role, it can also get such box office success, right?"

"Yes!"

This is what Liu Yifei wanted to say.

"Just like the Taipei 101 building, the workers are not important. We can just replace them with someone else!"

"that is not!"

Liu Yifei stroked her drooping hair and said thoughtfully: "Although Dicaprio and Winslet can be replaced, their roles are still greater than those of workers. Moreover, Winslet made a great sacrifice in Titanic, completely naked!"

As a woman, Liu Yifei knows the dilemma of the entertainment industry, so her focus is more delicate.

"That's true, but they actually mean the same thing!"

"If it can be replaced, then its value is not that high!"

Chen Yu suddenly glanced at Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei raised her head. She was very smart and understood the subtle metaphor in Chen Yu's words above.

"I am...the one who cannot be replaced?"

"So... it's valuable?"

Liu Yifei doubted herself.

In fact, when she mentioned that the two leading actors of "Titanic" could be replaced, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She thought about herself and realized that many of the works she had performed could actually be replaced.

But Chen Yu is different.

He has a strong box office appeal. If the box office of a movie is the ultimate goal, then Chen Yu's contribution is obviously great.

"No, you can be replaced!"

"But it's different from Winslet. If you are replaced, the person who takes over your role will definitely not be as good as you!"

"And in Titanic, there were many actresses better than Winslet at the time!"

"???"

Liu Yifei began to doubt her life after hearing what Chen Yu said.

Am I that good?
I do not know how? !

Is it that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?

"After I said that, do you think that you are better than Winslet?"

"No, I don't think so!"

Liu Yifei still has self-awareness. Looking at the passers-by along the street, she said quietly: "I am definitely not as good as Winslet!"

She has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

She's nothing.

“The film is different!”

"If it's the Titanic, you go in and play it, and the people who replace you will have a reinforcement platoon!"

"..."

Liu Yifei hit Chen Yu directly.

"The truth!"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "But I can't find anyone else who is more suitable than you for the role in "Operation Spy"!"

"I don't think Zhang Ziyi is as amazing as you in this performance!"

This is also true.

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "So, this is where my value lies?"

"No, it's your meaning. Talking about value is too vulgar!"

"The significance of this movie in which you star!"

"That's all because of you. You wrote the script. You wrote it according to me, so I must be more suitable!"

Liu Yifei still didn't think Chen Yu could convince her.

This is still Chen Yu who has been helping her.

"Wrong, because you are a very good girl, beautiful, independent, rational, and you are my girlfriend, so I set this role!"

"It's because of you!"

“Just like the Taipei 101 building!”

Chen Yu pointed to the bamboo design on it and said: "Why did the designer design it this way? Because bamboo is tall and flexible. Why didn't she design it with cotton?"

"Ha ha!"

Liu Yifei was a little amused by Chen Yu's joke.

What a metaphor this is.

"So, don't think about whether you helped me or not. Without you, the work wouldn't be complete enough!"

"The more famous you become and the more awards you win, the more help you can give me in my future works!"

"But people will say I'm 'living off you' and not helping you at all..."

Liu Yifei's metaphor is very appropriate.

"Why do men and women have to measure things by interests? I like you, but you are beautiful, capable, and independent!"

"When you liked me, I wasn't the Venice Film Festival winner, right?"

Chen Yu gave Liu Yifei a pat on the head.

"Have you ever heard such a statement?"

"How did you become the general's wife?"

"The general is so outstanding, so powerful..." Chen Yu told a joke from later times. Liu Yifei had never heard of it before. She shook her head and asked, "What did the general's wife say?"

"The general's wife replied: 'Marry him when he was still a soldier!'"

"can!"

Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes brightened up; she liked this answer.

"A friend in poverty should never be forgotten, and a wife who has shared your hardships should never be divorced!"

"What you have now is not necessarily your own merit. Supporting each other and accompanying each other through this journey is very important!"

Chen Yu has always been very self-aware.

All his current achievements do not represent his ability, but simply because he is a reborn person.

Rebirth changed his life.

But Liu Yifei has always been Liu Yifei, and even better than in her previous life.

What else is he not satisfied with?
Contentment is the key to happiness. Chen Yu was a person who was easily content.

At least emotionally, that's the case.

"Do you understand? My princess!"

Chen Yu kissed Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei nodded. She felt that what Chen Yu said made sense, but it would take some time to figure it out.

But at least, she wouldn't have the thought that she was not worthy of Chen Yu.

Yes, there is no such thing as equality or inequality.

The two knew each other as classmates, and at that time they were both just art exam candidates.

She didn't think at that time that Chen Yu would be able to have the status he has today... and Chen Yu, of course, never thought of relying on Liu Yifei for anything.

"If one day I need help!"

"I believe you will be the first person to stand up and help me!"

Chen Yu stood up and pulled Liu Yifei up. He had already seen someone rushing towards them.

I don’t know if he was a fan or a paparazzi, but it was most likely the former.

"That's for sure, ah——"

Liu Yifei said this firmly, but was pulled up by Chen Yu.

Such a romantic atmosphere was destroyed in an instant.

Two people were running wildly. Many people along the way were looking at them. Suddenly, some of them recognized them and surrounded them.

Passersby not far away heard the shouts of "Liu Yifei" and "Chen Yu", turned their heads curiously, and then stood up.

Seeing that the crowd was about to surround the two people, they almost thought in sync and went into an alley at the same time.

No one let go, but instead held on tighter and tighter.

In this way, the two people wandered around here and there and soon came to a piece of open space.

"Hahaha!"

The two men stood up, looked at each other and laughed.

Even though I was out of breath.

"What made you think of running into the alley?"

Chen Yu asked breathlessly.

Liu Yifei was actually more tired, but she gritted her teeth and followed Chen Yu, refusing to let go even if she died.

"Feel it!"

“Maybe we’ve been together for a long time, I know some of your subconscious thoughts, your eyes, your movements, they all seem to be going into the alley!”

"So I didn't even think about it and walked in with you!"

"What if it's a dead end?"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei who was also holding her knees and gasping for breath. Liu Yifei waved her hands: "It's okay, I have you!"

What a great trust this is.

Chen Yu hugged Liu Yifei tightly. Liu Yifei felt it and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Yifei, it's great that I got to know you in this world!"

Sometimes people are like this. An inexplicable trust will make you feel that he is everything to you.

"Me too!"

"Chen Yu, it's great to meet you!"

Liu Yifei also stretched out her hand and hugged the other person tightly, feeling the warmth and throbbing as if they were about to melt into one.

She suddenly realized that after chatting with Chen Yu tonight, the knot in her heart seemed to have been untied.

The person in front of her is the boyfriend she has always loved.

Feelings are the purest.

This is what is truly priceless, not the various material things wrapped up in money.

"Let's go, Madam General!"

Chen Yu took Liu Yifei's hand, and Liu Yifei smiled, as if she had returned to the innocence she had when she first met Chen Yu.

She didn't think about any negative information transmitted to her by the outside world. She just wanted to enjoy this rare world of two people together.

The two walked for a while, hailed a taxi and drove to the hotel.

The moment the door was opened, Liu Yifei took the initiative to kiss Chen Yu. After a while, the two of them were frank with each other and then went into the bathroom.

This is the most sincere kind of passion.

It comes from the heart and touches each other.

After the two of them lay down on the bed, the feeling Liu Yifei gave Chen Yu was undoubtedly back to the state when they first fell in love.

This is not acting, but Liu Yifei really thought it through.

This is the other half that Chen Yu wants.

"Yifei, have you ever thought about becoming a director yourself?"

Chen Yu hugged her and asked suddenly.

"director?"

Liu Yifei's face was rosy and her breathing was a little rapid. It was obvious that she was still immersed in that wonderful feeling.

"have not thought!"

"I just want to be an actress, your exclusive leading lady!"

Liu Yifei stretched out her slender fingers and touched the tip of Chen Yu's nose. It was obvious that she was not opposed to acting in Chen Yu's movie now.

And in her opinion, this is the meaning of her helping Chen Yu.

Since the movie definitely needs an actress, why can't it be her? !
As long as Chen Yu doesn't refuse.

"But I really hope you can make a movie, with a female lead, directing and acting yourself..."

This is indeed something Chen Yu is looking forward to.

In Chen Yu's opinion, it is possible for her to achieve any success as an actress...but being a director and making movies is a huge challenge in her life.

"If you want me to!"

"I can consider it then..."

Liu Yifei said as she rode on Chen Yu: "But now, I just want to conquer my general!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"Can't you be the female general and I be the general's husband?"

Chen Yu suddenly complained, but his expression brightened as he said it.

"what happened?"

Seeing Chen Yu standing there in a daze, Liu Yifei thought that his CD had not yet cooled down, and asked teasingly, "Is my general no longer good?"

"How can a man say no!"

Chen Yu patted her butt and suddenly said, "I know you are a director. What kind of movie are you making?"

"what?"

Liu Yifei was lying there, and Chen Yu whispered in her ear: "Female general!"

"I do not want it……"

She had no idea what Chen Yu was going to say.

"Really? Not even Mulan?"

Although Liu Yifei failed in the Disney version of "Mulan", her makeup photos were still very successful.

It’s just that foreigners can’t make movies that reflect Chinese culture, so they failed.

But if this world-famous female IP was filmed by a Chinese, who knows... the result might be different? !

Moreover, there have been many successful cases of "Mulan" being filmed in China.

"Come on, my female general!"

"It's time to show your prowess!"

Chen Yu laughed at Liu Yifei, and a blush appeared on Liu Yifei's face... The uplifting fighting melody rang out in the room again!
Female general...get on your horse!
