"Sister Wang, how long will it take to finish these dishes?"

In the kitchen, Liu Xiaoli asked the busy nanny.

"The fish needs to be fried in oil, and the remaining two dishes can be simply stir-fried, about ten minutes"

"Remember to add a little more salt than usual, today's guests have a heavier taste~"

The nanny, who was called Sister Wang, did not stop working, and replied while working: "I know, Madam.

You have reminded me twice.

Is Mr. Gu coming?"

Sister Wang has worked at Liu Yifei's house for many years, and she also cooked the dishes when Gu Wei came before.

Liu Xiaoli responded.

Sister Wang put the cut vegetables and meat into the pot, stir-fried them, and served them on a plate.

After finishing this dish, she asked curiously: "Madam, is Mr. Gu dating Miss?

He is so handsome, Miss is so beautiful, and they are both big stars, they are a perfect match.

And they have known each other for so many years, they know each other well."

Liu Xiaoli's face remained unchanged and she sighed secretly in her heart: "Yifei and them are just good friends, not what you think.

They will have some work cooperation soon."

Sister Wang was a little surprised: "That's really a pity"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly, she also felt it was a pity.

Gu Wei has money and fame, a good personality and handsome looks, and most importantly, he can help his daughter in her career. He is simply a perfect candidate for a rich son-in-law.

However, neither he nor Xixi has any intention of further confirming the relationship, and she can't force her daughter.

This is also another sense of "the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious."

"Young people have their own ideas, and their energy is now focused on their careers.

By the way, Sister Wang, don't tell outsiders about family matters when you go out!"

Liu Xiaoli did not forget to explain after she finished speaking.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have been working at home for so many years, and I will not tell anyone about the young lady's affairs."

Liu Xiaoli nodded. She was still quite confident in the nanny, and just habitually told her.

After staying for a while, she walked out of the kitchen and frowned when she saw Liu Yifei playing with her mobile phone in the living room.

"Xixi, ask where Gu Wei is?"

"Oh, okay~"

Liu Yifei opened WeChat, and soon turned to look at Liu Xiaoli: "He said he would be there in ten or eight minutes, and there was a little traffic jam on the road."

"Hmm~"

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and then looked at her daughter who was wearing home clothes with a little dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you put on makeup and change into a nicer outfit?"

"I didn't go out today, why put on makeup?"

Liu Yifei said indifferently, and looked down at her mobile phone again.

Liu Xiaoli looked helpless: "Gu Wei is coming, you should at least clean yourself up.

After filming [Dream of Hualu], I have been eating and sleeping these days. I have gained ten pounds in the past two months, right?"

Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little angry and embarrassed by what her mother said. She put down her phone: "It's not as exaggerated as you said.

I haven't been staying here all the time. I also went out to run two brand activities and shoot commercials in the middle!"

"Yes, yes, I would have forgotten if you didn't say it.

The video of your event some time ago was circulated, and many people on the Internet said that you have gained weight!"

"I am healthy, healthy, don't you understand.

Those female celebrities who look photogenic and well-proportioned are scary thin in real life. I am not filming now, why should I be so thin.

When I need to join the crew to film, I will naturally take the initiative to lose weight!"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and was about to say something, but the doorbell rang.

"It should be Gu Wei, go open the door~"

"Oh~"

Liu Yifei responded, got up, put on her slippers and walked to the door.

"Xixi, good evening~"

The door of the villa opened, and Gu Wei stood outside with a smile on his face.

"Is it snowing?"

Liu Yifei asked in surprise when she saw some white snowflakes on Gu Wei's shoulders.

"Well, it just started to snow, very small.

This should be the first snow in Beijing this winter"

Gu Wei went in to change his shoes, and followed Liu Yifei to the living room.

Liu Xiaoli greeted him with a smile on her face.

"You brought so many gifts again, Xiao Gu, you are too polite, I said before that coming to Auntie is like your own home, you don't need to bring anything"

"It's not expensive, just a little thought~" Gu Wei replied with a smile.

Liu Yifei looked at her mother happily accepting the gift and curled her lips in a false polite manner: "She is obviously very happy!"

Mom Liu glared at her daughter, turned to Gu Wei and smiled again: "The food should be almost ready, you talk to Xixi first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

After Liu Xiaoli left, Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei strangely: "Are you angry with Auntie?"

"No, she said you were coming to our house for dinner today, so I put on some makeup and dressed up to be more formal.

I don't think it's necessary, you are not an outsider.

Besides, what kind of me have you not seen?"

When Liu Yifei said this, Gu Wei's mind immediately appeared the scene of the two of them meeting frankly, and he coughed twice.

"It's not because of such a small matter, right?"

Liu Yifei sat down, reached out and picked a green grape from the fruit plate on the coffee table and put it in her mouth.

"She also said that I have been eating and sleeping all the time, and she dislikes me for being fat!"

She turned her head and looked at Gu Wei: "Do you think I'm fat?"

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei in front of him.

The other party was wearing a set of loose and baggy home clothes, with his hair tied up, and a pair of black glasses on his face, without makeup.

She totally looks like a homebody.

It does look a little rounder than when I was in Hengdian two months ago.

However, Liu Yifei is a beautiful woman with good facial features and perfect proportions. Being a little fat does not affect her beauty.

Nowadays, no makeup and casual clothes have a more lazy charm.

"Hey~ do you need to watch it for so long?"

After Gu Wei looked up and down, he nodded pretendingly.

"You are so beautiful and graceful, you must be particularly popular in the Tang Dynasty!"

Liu Yifei became a little angry: "It's not as exaggerated as you said!"

"Haha, just kidding you, I'm not fat at all.

Your figure now is very well-proportioned, even slim among ordinary people! "

"That's right, so it's my mother's fault~"

Gu Wei thought for a while: "Auntie has no problem, she thinks you are fat because you are a star.

The lens tends to stretch people out, and you will definitely look fat on camera in your current state."

The two of them didn't chat for a few words before Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen to greet Gu Wei for dinner.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Gu Wei had been here several times before. Liu Xiaoli paid attention to Gu Wei's dietary preferences and specially cooked all his favorite dishes.

"How is it? Does the food suit your appetite?"

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile while watching Gu Wei eat.

"Hmm~ It's delicious, I like it all, and it tastes very good!"

Gu Wei praised.

"It's a little salty. Aunt Wang usually doesn't have such a strong taste in cooking." Liu Yifei muttered at the side.

Liu Xiaoli ignored her daughter and still had a smile on her face.

"I would also like to thank you, Gu Wei, for taking on Sissi's new drama.

Ever since Sissi started filming TV series again, I have been worried about her performance.

After all, she had already stood so high in the field of TV dramas before. I am afraid that after so many years, the current audience will no longer buy her account.

If the results are not satisfactory after the broadcast, it will also be a blow to her.

[Menghualu] I don’t know what the results will be like?

However, with you here, Gu Wei, the results of "Go to Where the Wind Is" will definitely be good! "

Gu Wei smiled and was about to reply when Liu Yifei beside him spoke first: "Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you said.

The success or failure of a TV series cannot be determined by me alone.

Besides, you have so little confidence in me?

The scripts I selected are all good and have their merits. The results will definitely be the same after they are played! "

"The movie [Nanyanzhai Notes] you filmed three years ago has not been aired until now. Isn't it impressive!

And depending on the situation, there is a high probability that it won’t be broadcast in the future.”

Liu Yifei pouted in dissatisfaction and argued in a low voice: "That's just a supporting actor's thunder, and it has nothing to do with me.

Besides, I didn’t know he would explode, and I can’t predict the future.”

"Nanyanzhai Notes" is the first TV series that Liu Yifei filmed after turning to acting. However, because the second male lead in it, Zhao Mouxin, made inappropriate remarks and was labeled as a bad actor, the TV series could not be launched.

Unlike Hollywood, the domestic entertainment industry has zero tolerance for bad artists.

In Hollywood, Robert Downey Jr. became addicted to drugs at the age of 6 and went to jail three times. At the age of 40, the prodigal son can still become the world-famous Iron Man and accept the admiration of everyone.

But in China, as long as you violate laws and disciplines and are labeled as bad actors, you will basically say goodbye to the entertainment industry, and more serious works will be removed from the shelves.

The severity of reactionary political stances in China is as serious as violations of law and discipline, or even worse.

As long as artists have related tendencies towards Hong Kong independence, Taiwan independence or pro-Japan, they will definitely be banned without hesitation.

“Auntie, Sissi’s vision is really good, and the dramas she chooses all have the potential to become big hits.

And she is also extremely popular. Even without me, the results of these dramas would be the same!

[Nanyanzhai Transcript] I have also heard about that drama, and it was something that no one could have predicted."

Listening to Gu Wei speak for her, Liu Yifei immediately became more confident.

"That's right, I'm pretty good too."

Liu Xiaoli ignored her daughter and continued talking to Gu Wei: "When is [Going to a Windy Place] scheduled to be turned on?"

“Probably March or April next year.

After New Year's Day, I will go abroad to film [John Wick 4], and the crew is also waiting for my schedule."

Liu Xiaoli nodded.

"I heard that too.

The Internet said that "John Wick" has you and Keanu Reeves as the male protagonists.

This time you are about to open the door to Hollywood, and you are not far away from becoming a truly world-renowned international star! "

Gu Wei shook his head: "Actually, there is no such thing as opening the door to Hollywood.

This project was originally approached by [Lionsgate Pictures].

Essentially, they wanted to use me to open the door to the domestic film market.

And I also wanted to take the opportunity to expand my reputation internationally, so we hit it off and it was a win-win situation."

“It’s not surprising that Hollywood is coveting the domestic market.

In recent years, the domestic film market has almost surpassed North America to become the world's largest film market.

Your film "Changjin Lake" took in a box office of 6.4 billion yuan, making it the box office champion in the global film market this year.

With a box office of more than 900 million US dollars in a single market, who wouldn’t be greedy?

And I remember that some time ago, the news reported that the total box office of the movies you starred in has exceeded 50 billion, right?

With such terrifying appeal in the Chinese film market, it’s not surprising at all that [Lionsgate] came to you.”

Liu Yifei said while eating the food.

Although she hasn't made many movies in the past two years, she pays a lot of attention to the film market.

Gu Wei smiled and said modestly: "It's just luck~"

"This is not your luck. I have collaborated with you in three movies. How can I still be unclear?

When you made your debut with the first "Xiu Chun Knife", you were completely unknown, so your box office at that time relied entirely on the quality of the movie itself.

By the time "Tang Detective 2" and "Cohabitation in Time and Space" were released, you had already become famous. I think a large part of the box office of these two movies was brought about by your personal appeal."

Liu Yifei said and looked at Gu Wei seriously: "Although I also think the movie [Cohabitation in Time and Space] we filmed together was very good, but the final box office of 2.1 billion was still too exaggerated!

It should be considered the only one among domestic love movies.

And the movie you made, "The Ex Raiders 3", I even thought that movie was a bad movie, but the box office actually exceeded 2 billion.

I can't think of any other reason except that your appeal is too strong."

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei with a smile and didn't know how to explain it.

He can't always say that these movies have passed the test of history. They already had high box office, and my joining just helped them reach another peak.

He casually changed the topic and said: "By the way, I was watching the news. A few days ago, the Hollywood blockbuster [Spider-Man: No Homecoming] was released one after another in North America and even other countries around the world.

This movie has grossed US$800 million at the global box office in just over a week. It is estimated that it will surpass "Changjin Lake" in a few days and become this year's new global box office champion! "

"Really? I didn't pay attention. When will it be available in China?" Liu Yifei asked.

“I’m afraid it won’t be possible in the short term.

I heard that this was the first time the movie failed to pass the review. If it was revised and then submitted for review, it would not be able to catch up with the unified global release time.

[Columbia] and [Marvel] fortunately gave up on the Chinese market.”

"How can [Spider-Man] fail to pass the trial?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

The earliest Tobey Maguire version of "Spider-Man" and Garfield's version of "The Amazing Spider-Man" were both released in China, so there's no reason why Holland's version wouldn't work.

Gu Wei spread his hands: "It is said that because the title of the film contains elements of [Shang-Chi], it was requested to be deleted."

"Uh, so strict?"

"It's just a rumor, but from this we can see that I was right in not picking up [Shang-Chi]."

Liu Yifei nodded slowly.

While her daughter and Gu Wei were chatting lively, Liu Xiaoli was eating her food silently on the side without interrupting, just looking at the two of them with a smile.

After chatting about the movie for a while, Gu Wei thought of something and picked up his cup.

"Sissi, you won the title of LV global spokesperson some time ago, and I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."

"Haha, thank you~"

Liu Yifei was obviously very satisfied with the endorsement she had officially announced some time ago, and she lightly clinked the glasses with Gu Wei.

The three of them drank red wine, the same batch that Gu Wei gave to Liu Yifei a long time ago.

"Speaking of which, I want to thank you for this endorsement."

Liu Yifei took a sip of wine and said.

"Thank me for what?" Gu Wei asked doubtfully.

"Aren't you the global spokesperson for LV a long time ago?"

"Yes, I started cooperating with Louis Vuitton in 2015, and it has been more than 6 years now.

I heard before that they are interested in finding an influential female star in China, but I can’t decide who to choose.”

With the good cooperative relationship between Gu Wei and LV for so many years, it is no problem to recommend a brand friend or even a brand ambassador.

But the global spokesperson is too important, and LV must make its own decision.

“After I signed the contract, I had a chat with the senior management over there.

They say that choosing domestic female stars is mainly to match you and develop the domestic market in depth.

In the end, I was chosen because, on the one hand, "Mulan" gave me a certain international reputation, and on the other hand, it was also because I have worked with you several times.

Especially the huge sales of [Cohabitation in Time and Space] made LV’s executives think that we have a strong sense of partnership and can have the effect of one plus one being greater than two.”

Gu Wei shrugged: "No one told me this.

But no matter what the reason is, it is a good thing that you can get this title after all! "

The atmosphere of this family dinner was always very pleasant. Gu Wei and Liu Yifei chatted while eating, with Liu Xiaoli occasionally interjecting without saying much.

After eating, Gu Wei sat for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.

Liu Yifei put on a coat and sent him out.

"It's cold outside and it's still snowing. Go back quickly."

"Well, thank you for coming today."

Liu Yifei knew that Gu Wei was under pressure to see Liu Xiaoli, and it was all because of him that he came.

Gu Wei smiled and said, "It feels weird that you want to thank me for inviting me to dinner.

If you really thank me, do you want to come with me? "

"Why are we following you?"

"You can do anything, you can go to the movies or sing karaoke."

"Going outside? It's not very convenient."

Gu Wei touched his chin: "Just go to my house, there are private cinemas and karaoke rooms.

And we can have some more drinks.”

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Aren't you looking for me to watch movies and sing karaoke?"

Gu Wei asked with a smile: "Then what do I want from you?"

"Hmph~ You know best what you want to do."

"Just tell me whether you want to go or not?"

In fact, Liu Yifei was also tempted. She had just drunk some wine during dinner, and now she felt a little hot.

But after thinking about it, she suppressed the impulse in her heart.

"Not today, I can't tell my mom.

Are you free tomorrow? Let's make another appointment tomorrow night and go to your place."

Gu Wei thought about it, smiled and nodded: "Then it's settled!"
