Huayu is free to do as you like

The light snow outside the window gradually stopped, the earth became covered with snow again, and the two people in the room were enjoying the hot pot.

"It's over. I ate so much today, I'm going to be fat when I go back."

"Are you afraid of getting fat if you're a 'beater'? Just go back and exercise."

Gu Wei said indifferently.

"It's easy to say. Aren't you tired from exercising? Who can exercise while lying down~"

Liu Yifei said angrily.

"By the way, sister Yifei, do you have any plans for the second half of this year?"

Gu Wei picked up a piece of beef and asked.

"After the New Year, I will be starring in a Sino-French co-production, and then I will be approached for a Sino-Korean co-production, but I have not yet decided whether to star in it."

Liu Yifei briefly talked about her 15 years of work.

"I am planning to prepare the second part of [Detective Chinatown] in the second half of the year. If possible, I would like to invite Sister Yifei to be my heroine."

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's face and said.

Liu Yifei was stunned after hearing Gu Wei's words.

"Want me to play [Tang Detective 2]?"

"Yes, but you also know that [Tang Detective] is a man's drama, and the protagonists can only be "Tang Ren" and "Qin Feng". Although they are the heroines in the movie, they won't have too many roles."

Gu Wei took a bite of meat, picked up the napkin next to him and wiped his mouth.

"Um~ Are you so casual about finding a heroine? Don't you need to audition?"

In her impression, the first part of "Detective Chinatown" had a box office of over 1 billion, and the second part of that series of movies is definitely the hottest resource in the industry.

He didn't expect that Gu Wei would casually invite him while he was eating, as if he didn't care at all about the roles that actresses in this industry would fight for.

"What you said reminds me."

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's beautiful face and said formally:

"Sister Yifei, smile."

Liu Yifei didn't know why, but seeing his serious look, she smiled as requested.

"Congratulations, you passed the audition!"

Gu Wei smiled.

Only then did Liu Yifei react.

"Okay, Gu Wei, are you kidding me?"

"No, no, it's really an audition. I just asked you to perform a 'Smiling Smile'. You did a great job. Applause!"

Gu Wei said in a serious tone.

"Childish~"

"Haha, stop making trouble, this is a script, please read it."

As he spoke, Gu Wei took out a white-covered script from his bag and handed it over.

Liu Yifei took it and looked through it slowly.

Gu Wei remained silent and ate his own food.

After a while, Liu Yifei closed the script after turning a few pages.

"The role is very simple. I really want to take this role, but I have to go back and discuss it with my mother. She is my agent after all, and I must get her approval before I take the role."

"No problem, I'll wait for your news. Anyway, the movie won't start shooting until the second half of the year at the earliest. There's still plenty of time."

"Can I take the script?"

"It's just for you."

After eating, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei separated from the private kitchen and got into their own cars.

There were not too many vehicles on the streets of Beijing today, and Liu Yifei returned to her home not long after.

"Mom~ I'm back."

After entering the house, she changed her shoes and took off her thick down coat. Liu Yifei called into the room.

Mother Liu heard the noise and walked out of the kitchen, wearing an apron in front of her and holding a plate of freshly washed strawberries in her hand.

She put the fruit on the coffee table in the living room and asked with concern.

"It's snowing outside today, so it's not too cold. I asked you to wear more clothes before leaving~"

"Mom~ It's okay, Xiaoxue, it's not cold at all. I had mutton hot pot for lunch, and now my whole body is warm."

Liu Yifei walked closer, held Liu Xiaoli's arm and said.

"Gu Wei is looking for you because you helped him promote things online, right?"

Before Liu Yifei went out at noon, she told her about Gu Wei's invitation to dinner.

"Well, yes, he wanted to thank me. Besides, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we just took this opportunity to get together."

With that said, Liu Yifei sat on the sofa in two or three steps, picked up a strawberry on the plate and ate it.

"Gu Wei is a pretty good kid. You just helped him and you immediately thought of having a meal with you to thank him in person."

Ever since he learned about Gu Wei Capital's identity, his impression on Liu's mother has always been very high.

As Gu Wei's career has grown bigger and bigger in the past two years, this good impression has gradually accumulated.

"Fortunately, we are all friends. The main thing is to get together, and to thank you is secondary."

"I remember that his company has been making movies and TV series. Why is it now making cartoons?"

"Haha~ Mom, you must have no idea how much money he invested in this cartoon in your mouth?"

"How many?"

"The total cost is 100 million, and he invested 60 million!"

"so much!

With 100 million to make a cartoon, isn't he afraid of losing money? "

Liu Xiaoli was also very surprised.

"I'm asking the same thing. I want to contribute to domestic animated films~

Moreover, he is very optimistic about this animated movie, and he doesn’t know where the confidence comes from. "

After speaking, Liu Yifei slapped her forehead and took out the script of "Tang Detective 2" from her bag.

"Mom, Gu Wei asked me to play the female lead in [Tang Detective 2]. I told him to come back and discuss it with you."

Liu Xiaoli took over the script and said with great joy:

"Silly girl, if you have anything to discuss with me, agree immediately. Where can I find such a good opportunity?

It seems that it is still useful for you to maintain a good relationship with Gu Wei. No, such a good resource is now coming to your door. "

"What? It's because Gu Wei is interested in my acting skills, not because of my connections~"

Liu Yifei said without confidence.

"Okay, okay~ I'm optimistic about my Yifei's acting skills."

Liu Xiaoli said coaxingly like a child, flipping through the script with a smile on her face.

"I took a quick look and found that the female protagonist doesn't have much of a role. [Tang Detective 2] takes over the plot of the first film, and all the scenes are focused on the two male protagonists."

"This is normal. There are several movies nowadays where the female protagonist can occupy the main role.

You don't lack fame now, but you lack achievements like this that you can talk about.

As long as [Tang Detective 2] does not collapse, the box office will definitely be higher than the first one. When it is released, you will have a high-grossing movie starring yourself as the heroine, which will be of great benefit to you in future films. "

Liu Xiaoli explained the truth to her daughter.

"I know, but what about the China-Korea co-production that I was contacted about before? There's a schedule conflict."

"Silly girl, if you can play [Tang Detective], why should you star in a co-production?

Look at the box office of those two movies you made before, "White Ghost Legend" and "Dew Beauty".

It's not very good in terms of reputation either. It's completely draining your reputation and won't bring you any help.

Things are different now. The domestic film market has grown. If possible, I would also like to connect you with more film resources from domestic companies. "
