Millennium director

At three o'clock in the afternoon, some invited media began to enter the venue one after another under the arrangements of the on-site staff, and began to set up machine seats at the back of the press conference hall.

Wu Yuan did not expect that Sony and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center would actually hold the signing ceremony in Fangfei Garden, Building 17, State Guesthouse!

The guests, led by the staff, were temporarily moved to the press conference room in Building 17.

In the press conference room, the place where “Ministry XXX Press Conference” usually hangs is now replaced with a pink background picture.

"Liu Yifei's Appreciation Party for Entering the Music Circle \u0026 Sony Japan Records Signing Press Conference"

The top sign is "China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center".

Wu Yuan was amazed to see how much money Mr. Chen spent to get through the relationship with the Literary and Art Circle Performing Arts Center.

There were already many people sitting on the podium at this time, including the person in charge of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center and the person in charge of Sony Records. Of course, the most important protagonist, Liu Yifei, was also sitting obediently in the middle.

After Wu Yuan entered the door, he looked at her and clearly felt the tension in her eyes, so he gave her a comforting look.

Watching the staff take Wu Yuan to table No. 1 in the infield and sit down in front of him, Liu Yifei suddenly felt less nervous again.

She even watched with interest as a group of actors took advantage of this opportunity to change venues and come together to greet Wu Yuan.

Seeing Wu Yuan handling these fawning actors and stars with ease, Liu Yifei felt that a signing ceremony was not a big deal.

The media that can be invited today have all been agreed in advance. They will not disturb any part of the scene and will only make silent records.

So even though many reporters saw Wu Yuan sitting at the first table at first sight, surrounded by actors and actresses, they resisted the idea of ​​rushing in for interviews.

However, it is already big news to be able to photograph Wu Yuan appearing at Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony.

In fact, most reporters know very well that as Liu Yifei's younger brother, it is normal for Wu Yuan to attend her coming-of-age ceremony.

Liu Yifei and her mother could not refuse to invite anyone, but they had to invite Wu Yuan.

They also don’t think the scandal between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei is true.

Not to mention how strictly Liu Yifei's mother protects her daughter, let's just say that Liu Yifei has just grown up. As an actor, how could she fall in love so early.

And as an internationally renowned director, how could Wu Yuan find a film about such a girl?

I don’t know how many reporters hope in their hearts that Wu Yuan can find a big star as his girlfriend in Hollywood. This is news worth writing about, and news that the Chinese people love to hear.

Hey, our great Chinese director has secured Hollywood's top actresses, the ones who are famous all over the world, isn't that cool?

What Keira Knightley, Jennifer Anniston, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan...

Only by spreading scandals with such a Hollywood actress can he be worthy of Wu Yuan's status, and can also make the Chinese people "feel happy".

However, Wu Yuan has always kept a clean mind and never gave the paparazzi a chance to take photos of gossip materials.

Everyone can only seize on the "groundless" scandal between Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan to hype it up.

It’s a bit of an eye-catcher!

"I have been watching Director Wu for a while, especially when Liu Yifei was speaking. I always captured Director Wu's facial movements." A veteran reporter whispered to the cameraman he brought.

The cameraman was a little confused, "Brother Chen, didn't we receive the red envelope from the popular star Wu, and today we mainly report the news about Liu Yifei signing with Sony and holding her coming-of-age ceremony at the State Guesthouse?"

"Are you stupid?" The reporter in charge of writing the article knocked him on the head. "Just because Chen Jingfei paid us to write this article, it doesn't mean that we can only write this article."

"If I can find any clues about the relationship between Director Wu and Liu Yifei today, your big red envelope will be indispensable!"

"That's right." The photographer smiled naively and immediately pointed the camera at Wu Yuan.

Not only them, there are many smart people among the invited reporters, and almost two-thirds of the cameramen have targeted Wu Yuan.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

Starting from the signing ceremony, various leaders came to the stage to speak, including when Liu Yifei herself expressed some opinions and thoughts on entering the music scene. Wu Yuan had no other particularly obvious emotions except smiling and applauding.

Just the reaction that a seemingly normal guest would have.

Not even as exciting and eye-catching as Huang Xiaoming.

"I don't think there is anything fishy between Director Wu and Liu Yifei." A reporter said with some disappointment.

Even when Liu Yifei accepted the world's only Hello Kitty chessboard as a gift from Japan's Sony, Wu Yuan looked calm and calm. It really didn't look like anything special.

"I didn't have high hopes." Another reporter from Sohu curled his lips, "What kind of status does Director Wu have? How could he be interested in a young actor?"

"Do you still think it will be the same as 20 years ago, with little status difference between directors and actors, and Zhang Yimou and Gong Li falling in love because of their drama?"

"I see, even if there is something between this little girl and Director Wu, Director Wu is just having fun and won't take it seriously."

Amid the whispers of reporters, the signing ceremony was almost over.

This signing ceremony is actually very unremarkable. The focus is on how reporters will publicize Liu Yifei's signing with Sony and her entry into the music industry.

Everyone is paid, so the draft will be written as pleasantly as possible and exaggerated as much as possible.

"Okay, thank you all for coming to the thank you party for Liu Yifei's entry into the music industry. Now, please move to the outside together!"

"We prepared exquisite drinks and food in the outfield, as well as a grand birthday party to celebrate Liu Yifei's 18th birthday!"

The host in charge quickly directed everyone to leave the press conference room.

The stage and venue set up in the open air outside are the focus of Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony today.

After everyone came out, it was getting dark.

To be honest, the parties held in this era are really outrageous.

Although Wu Yuan was mentally prepared, he was still a little nervous when he saw seven or eight people wearing silver laser skirts and holding flutes, violins, Xiaos and other musical instruments on stage for the opening show.

How should I put it? It’s probably a bit like the opening song and dance bar at a big banquet in the countryside 20 years later. It’s really a “thunder strike at the opening”.

After finally getting through the three-minute opening show, a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit and an accent very similar to that of a six-year-old teacher walked onto the stage with a microphone:

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, guests and leaders, welcome to the thank-you party we organized for Liu Yifei to enter the music scene. Today, our State Guesthouse is green with grass, lights like electricity, and full of guests. What remains unchanged is hope. What rises is the dream!”

"Today is indeed a memorable day!"

"Now, we have invited the person in charge of the organizer of this event, the famous singer and director of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center, Director Yu Junjian to give a speech!"

As a result, he kept beeping for a long time, but he just announced the curtain.

Another younger man, a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked elegant, walked onto the stage and said with a smile: "Good evening, everyone."

"Thank you all for coming to this party held by our China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center. Many big brothers came to our event."

"We have our highly respected Secretary-General of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and our eldest brother Jiang Xiaolu, the director of the Olympic Games."

"There is also Xu Zhigang, secretary of our China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and secretary Yu of our foundation..."

"There are also the deputy mayor of our capital city, the Bayi Factory, and the film studio..."

After listening to the introduction of the director of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center, Wu Yuan, who had been sitting in the audience eating and drinking, raised his head in surprise and looked around.

Holy shit? !

what's the situation?

Are there so many secretaries, directors, and secretaries here today?

Each of these names sounds bigger than the last!

I’ve never heard of Liu Yifei’s family being so well-connected in politics? !

Wu Yuan suddenly felt that the little girl he knew and had seen since childhood seemed a little strange.

"I'm honored that it was me who invited Liu Yifei to sing and perform for the first time."

Director Yu Junjian on the stage was still delivering a speech.

“I remember it was the National Arts Festival Spring Festival Gala in 2002.”

"At that time, we felt that there should be a first-class female star in China who can both act and sing and go global."

"After discussion at that time, many of us thought that Liu Yifei had such qualities, so we found her."

"I didn't expect that her singing would quickly attract the attention of many major companies around the world after appearing on the TV station."

"I didn't expect that she was also very successful in her acting career. After starring in the movie of our country's great director Wu Yuan, she quickly became a very famous actor in Japan and even Asia."

"And today, she has signed a contract with Sony Music Company. This also indicates that she has taken another step towards becoming an Asian film and television singing superstar!"

"What's even more worthy of celebration is that today is her eighteenth birthday, a coming-of-age ceremony."

"Then, let's congratulate her on her eighteenth birthday with applause, okay?"

All the guests in the audience, whether they were the deputy mayor or a director or a secretary, all applauded me.

Actors from all walks of life in the entertainment industry, as well as Liu Yifei's friends in the industry, even had their palms red.

Now Wu Yuan realized that the people who contributed to this coming-of-age ceremony were probably not just Chen Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli.

There should also be the little girl’s biological father who is far away in France and serves as the First Secretary of the Embassy in France.

That's because he has connections with the Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center and can invite so many political bigwigs to support him.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's welcome Liu Yifei with a round of applause."

"Thank you, thank you." Liu Yifei, who had been standing on the side of the stage with her mother, took the microphone to say thank you and walked onto the stage.

"Thank you all for coming to my appreciation party and my eighteenth birthday party."

"I'm really happy and touched."

"I hope you all have fun and enjoy tonight's show."

With tears in her eyes, Liu Yifei was choked up and at a loss as to what to do next.

Fortunately, the host, whose voice resembled that of a six-year-old boy, immediately picked up the conversation.

The next step is nothing more than inviting the producers of "The Family", the producer of "Dragon" and Wu Yuan, the director of "Your Name" to come on stage and ask Liu Yifei to thank them.

Yes, the thank you meeting, the "thank you" here is Liu Yifei's gratitude to all the teachers and seniors who "made her famous".

In full view of countless reporters, this was undoubtedly a show.

You Jianming, the producer of "Golden Family", came on stage and praised Liu Yifei for being full of spirituality on the set at a young age and for her self-taught acting skills.

Zhang Jizhong, the producer of "Dragon Movie", also said that Liu Yifei is the best actor of her age that he has ever seen, as well as the most beautiful and promising. He said that she is very dedicated and hardworking in filming, and she is very mature at a young age. sensible.

Wu Yuan, who was the last to take the stage, certainly had good words to say, praising her for her realistic performance, being well-behaved and sensible in the crew, and her future prospects are limitless.

In fact, by the time today's so-called "Appreciation Party·Birthday Party" reached this point, Wu Yuan was already a little bored in his heart.

He didn't like this kind of activity that was completely for show, especially on Liu Yifei's important 18th birthday, it was really boring to have such a "grand show".

But he also knows that for a star, the more important the day is to him, the more he should make it an eye-catching show. It is best to bundle it with some publicity for better results.

Take a look at the various sky-high-priced weddings held by celebrities later. They were not just eye-catching shows.

Next, Wu Yuan sat quietly in the audience and watched the entire party.

In fact, there are some touching places.

After all, Liu Xiaoli also participated in the planning of the party.

The first half of the party was more like a show, with celebrities singing and Liu Yifei singing with her friends.

In the second half of the party, it was clearly the love that Liu Xiaoli, the mother, gave to her daughter.

A series of photos and life videos of Liu Yifei from childhood to adulthood were shown on the big screen, telling how difficult it was for the mother and daughter to cling to each other.

These photos and videos were all taken by Liu Xiaoli herself, recording every moment of Liu Yifei's life from the age of two or three to the age of eleven or twelve.

It can be seen that the frequency of her father's appearance is not high, and it is not known whether Liu Xiaoli deliberately selected it, or whether her father was indeed missing something in Liu Yifei's childhood.

From the age of 12 to 13, the videos that appeared again turned into some records of Liu Yifei's filming on the crew, as well as a collection of her film and television works.

From "Jinfen Family" to "Dragon" to "Your Name", "Sword of Sword 1" and the yet-to-be-aired "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"...

The scenes in front of and behind the scenes not only allowed Liu Yifei to relive her not-so-long acting career, but also made the actors and friends of the crew present full of emotions.

The earlier I cooperated, the more I felt that the little girl back then had grown up and become an adult in the blink of an eye.

After the two short videos were played, Liu Yifei choked and hugged her mother.

Such a heartwarming scene also attracted sincere applause from all the guests present.

In order to prevent the happy coming-of-age ceremony from becoming sad and sad, the host said at the right time: "Then let's start the birthday blessing session!"

A large cake made into a castle shape was carefully pushed out by the waiter.

"Happy Birthday" resounded throughout the open-air venue.

Liu Xiaoli quickly wiped her tears and pulled Liu Yifei to the cake: "Sissi, make a wish quickly."

The guests also gathered around and looked at Liu Yifei with smiles on their faces.

But Liu Yifei did not rush to make a wish. Instead, she raised her head and looked left and right. It was not until she saw Wu Yuan standing in the crowd that a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Brother, come here." She waved to Wu Yuan playfully, and everyone looked at Wu Yuan curiously.

Pointing at himself, Wu Yuan walked over confused.

"Brother, do you think the wish I made today will come true?"

She pulled Wu Yuan's sleeve and looked at his profile with bright eyes, "Today is my 18th coming-of-age ceremony. It only happens once in my life."

"On such an important day, your wish will definitely come true, right?"

Wu Yuan pursed his lips, tilted his head and looked directly into her eyes.

Under her expectant gaze, Wu Yuan nodded: "Yes."

A smile instantly bloomed on Liu Yifei's face, spreading out in circles, like the most beautiful ripples.

"Yeah, I think so too!"

"Then I made a wish!"

I watched it again and confirmed that the party was indeed held in the open air on the Diaoyutai Lawn, but I was not sure whether the signing ceremony was in the State Guesthouse. Since some book friends said it was in Building 17, it should be the signing ceremony with Sony. In the State Guesthouse, I am sure that this coming-of-age party will be held outdoors. Videos and photos are available.
