Millennium director

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is a complex of buildings that combines ancient royal gardens with modern hotels.

August 25, 2005, a little after one in the afternoon.

Wu Yuan drove himself to the state guesthouse, which is specially used to receive foreign guests.

Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony this year was held here.

Of course, that's what the press release said, but what the press release never said was that although Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the State Guesthouse, it could not be held in Buildings 1-18.

Each of these state guest buildings in the state guesthouse has an important purpose and is used to receive foreign leaders and diplomats.

Even if Liu Yifei and her godfather were rich, he would not be able to hold this coming-of-age ceremony in the building.

In fact, today's coming-of-age ceremony was not organized by Liu Yifei's godfather alone.

Under the guidance of the staff of Red Star Wu Media, Wu Yuan and his assistant quickly arrived on the large lawn between Buildings 2 and 3 of the Diaoyutai Neiguang Hotel.

On the lawn, a stage has been set up.

The background of the entire stage is based on pink. In the center of the background, there is a beautifully designed symbol that looks like a logo and a title.

"Crystal Princess/Feiyue 18"

On both sides of the stage background, there are two lines of titles.

The line on the left reads "China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center, Liu Yifei enters the singing circle thank you party."

The line on the right reads "Red Star Wu Media Company·Sony Japan, Crystal Princess Feiyue's 18th Birthday Party."

Co-writing this coming-of-age ceremony also included a signing ceremony with Sony and a thank you party for entering the music industry.

I feel that business reasons are more important than private matters.

Why not start them separately?

Wu Yuan frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

But before he could think about it, a middle-aged man wearing a polo shirt, with a medium build and a somewhat fierce face, immediately came up to him after seeing Wu Yuan.

"Director Wu, welcome, welcome to Sissi's coming-of-age ceremony."

"You are Sissi's noble person, please take a seat."

This person is Chen Jingfei, Liu Yifei's godfather.

Wu Yuan actually met him several times. Sometimes he and Liu Xiaoli would go to school to pick up Liu Yifei, and he also visited the crew of "Your Name".

Generally speaking, this godfather is indeed willing to contribute money and efforts to Liu Yifei's acting career.

But Wu Yuan really didn't like him, and his senses weren't very good either.

Most of the capitalists of their generation who started the industry have dirty backgrounds. To put it simply, most of them made their fortunes by working in gray industries.

Although it may seem that he has been cleared now, there is always the risk that the superiors will find out that the pig was slaughtered back then.

Later, he was sent in due to some tax and improper business issues.

Perhaps this is why Chen Jingfei values ​​and supports Liu Yifei and her daughter so much.

Not only because the two families are family friends, but also because entering the entertainment industry is also a good way to whitewash Chen Jingfei's career.

This is something that has been confirmed by countless gangsters in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

His mind was spinning a thousand times, but Wu Yuan calmly shook hands with him and said politely: "Qian Qian kindly invites me, so I have to come."

The smile on Chen Jingfei's face became even brighter, and his fierce face seemed a lot more peaceful.

He personally led Wu Yuan to the first table closest to the stage and sat down.

Several guests who had arrived earlier than him were already sitting here.

At the first table, there were naturally some guests who were very important to Liu Yifei.

For example, the director of "The Family", Zhang Jizhong, the producer of "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the leader of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center, the person in charge of Sony Japan, etc.

It's not against the rules for Wu Yuan to sit here.

He is the director of "Your Name" and "Love", and he has given Liu Yifei the zenith-star record of being a heroine with a box office of 2.8 billion.

After sitting here, Wu Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries with his tablemates and became a little curious as to why Li Guoli and Hu Ge from "Sword and Sword 1" didn't come.

Then it suddenly occurred to him that "The Fairyland" was being filmed and they didn't have time to attend Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony.

"Hey, Director Wu, this way!" A greeting sounded from the next table. Wu Yuan looked along and happened to see Huang Xiaoming waving towards him.

"Brother Xiao Ming, you are here too." Wu Yuan smiled and stood up to give him a hug.

"Why don't you come? Almost everyone from the cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is here, except those who are not in China."

But no, Wu Yuan took a look and saw that the people sitting at the second table were basically the actors from the cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the third table was the cast and crew of "Dragon", and the fourth table was from "Your Name" 》The cast and crew.

There were relatively few people at the fifth table "Sword of Immortal". After all, the team and actors of "Sword of Immortal" were almost all from the Tang Dynasty, and they were all in the crew of "Flying Immortals".

It can be said that Wu Yuan's arrival caused quite a stir among this group of actors.

Seeing Huang Xiaoming taking the initiative to talk to Wu Yuan and saying hello, Hu Jun and Lin Zhiying also took the initiative to come over and say hello: "Hello, Director Wu, I didn't expect you to come too."

Especially Lin Zhiying, he looked quite emotional. He didn't expect Wu Yuan, a person who had been rumored to have an affair with Liu Yifei, to be here today.

You know, there will be reporters at the scene.

If Wu Yuan is involved in this filming, there will be another scandal tomorrow.

Lin Zhiying sighed a little in his heart. He actually had a good impression of Liu Yifei when he was filming "Dragon", even though she was really young at the time.

However, time has changed. He himself met Chen Ruoyi last year and fell in love with her at first sight. Now he is pursuing Chen Ruoyi fiercely, and his good impression of Liu Yifei has long faded away.

He showed a flattering smile and said enthusiastically to Wu Yuan: "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet the most powerful director in China. Qianqian is more famous."

These words flattered both sides, and they stretched out their hands not to hit the smiling person. In addition, Lin Zhiying is actually a good person. Apart from being fond of designing characters in terms of technology, he doesn't have any bad habits.

So Wu Yuan also smiled and greeted him and said: "I have admired the name of Asian Little Whirlwind for a long time. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely cooperate."

Well, Wu Yuan still remembers "Sheep Herding Star", a Taiwanese idol drama that became a huge hit in the mainland.

If the company's idol drama strategy wants to move forward steadily and successfully, this TV series must not be let go.

The Korean heroine can be replaced by a Mainland actor, and it's not a bad idea to continue using Lin Chi-ying as the male lead.

As for Hu Jun and Wu Yuan, they were not left out in the cold.

This is a good actor. He almost became Pang Yong in "Painted Skin", but Wu Yuan hooked up with Zhang Guorong and did not give him this role.

Wu Yuan and Hu Jun knew each other. When Zhang Guorong was filming "Stealing Heart", Hu Jun was the male lead and Wu Yuan was the producer.

"Haha, Director Wu, we meet again." Hu Jun has a carefree personality, and he gave Wu Yuan a bear hug when he came up.

However, just when he was about to chat with Wu Yuan about his current situation, an excited shout interrupted their conversation.

"Brother! You are here!"

Liu Yifei, who was wearing a pair of stiletto heels, rushed over.

She might have been doing makeup and hair styling backstage.

Although she is an adult at the age of 18, her style is still relatively conservative. Her upper body is a T-shirt with lace shoulder straps, and her lower body is a light yellow gauze skirt that reaches her ankles.

Overall, the look is still very conservative and pure.

But perhaps also to distinguish herself as "adult", her hair is no longer black and straight as before, but has been permed and turned into wavy curls.

Not to mention, at first glance, Wu Yuan was a little uncomfortable with it.

From the time he first met her, Liu Yifei has always maintained her long and elegant black hair. This was the first time Wu Yuan saw her curly hair.

"Sissi, you have such curly hair." He twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little hard to say.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Liu Yifei walked around Wu Yuan and asked excitedly and happily: "Does it feel like a mature woman?"

"Brother, today I am eighteen years old and an adult!"

"Yes, yes," Wu Yuan agreed casually and waved to assistant Xiao Zhang, who immediately came over with a big gift box.

This gift box was kept and carried by Xiao Zhang all the way.

"Brother, is this for me?" Sharp-eyed Liu Yifei saw the gift box at a glance and asked in surprise.

"Today is your birthday. Isn't it given to you or to someone else?" Wu Yuan smiled and took the gift box from Xiao Zhang's hand.

There are two gifts in total, both specially prepared by Wu Yuan.

"Do you want to take it apart here?" He asked Liu Yifei with a smile.

The little girl pricked up her ears and looked around, and found that the people who were surrounding Wu Yuan just now had all returned to their seats consciously.

Moreover, the guests at other tables were also chatting with each other in a tacit understanding, changing glasses and cups, and did not pay attention to them at all.

In other words, I dare not pay attention.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Senior brother, can you tell me what you have given me in advance? Then I will take a look when I go back!"

Wu Yuan shook his head gently: "You'd better take it apart and see for yourself when the time comes."

He winked mischievously at Liu Yifei.

Her impression of Wu Yuan has always been that of being stable and mature. Liu Yifei, who had never seen him like this before, opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and then her face turned red.

Senior brother, are you acting coquettishly?

She lowered her head, took the gift box, and weighed it subconsciously. It was quite heavy.

"What is it?" Liu Yifei muttered in a low voice, and then smiled sweetly at Wu Yuan: "Then I will go backstage to prepare. The signing ceremony is about to begin."

Yes, today’s coming-of-age ceremony actually started with the signing ceremony for Liu Yifei’s contract with Sony, followed by the appreciation party for entering the music industry organized by the Literary and Art Circle Performing Arts Center, and finally, in the evening, the coming-of-age ceremony party.

"Okay, you go and do your work first. Happy birthday." Wu Yuan reached out and patted Liu Yifei on the head.

"Yeah!" Liu Yifei held the gift box, raised her head and nodded hard, smiling very sweetly.

There will be three updates today (mine today is from 6pm to 6am the next morning).

Due to illness these past few days, my schedule has been a bit messy, so updates have been very late.

After the remaining three chapters are added and updated, it should be adjusted back to the normal 11 o'clock update time.
