Chapter 205: Girlfriend Returns to China, Album Launch
After the millennium, Beijing International Airport gradually became a place where reporters from all walks of life gathered.
There is no so-called airport photos or airport street photos now, but paparazzi have tacitly understood how to squat at the airport to watch celebrities.
Of course, Wu Yuan couldn't just pick people up at the airport pick-up point carelessly, which would be like rushing for media reporters to take photos.
Although he didn't mind, Liu Yifei was indeed not suitable for exposing her relationship now.
Wu Yuan and his assistant Xiao Zhang were just waiting in the nanny car.
At a little after two o'clock in the afternoon on the 25th, Wu Yuan waited for his girlfriend.
As soon as he got in the car, Liu Yifei, who had been away for many days, pounced on him, and lay on his shoulders, smiling and asked: "Brother, did you miss me~"
Liu Xiaoli, who was following her and wanted to get in the car, saw this scene, shook her head helplessly, stopped her steps, and turned to the co-pilot seat to get in the car.
The mother-in-law couldn't bear to see her own cabbage so worthless, so it was better to just ignore it.
"I want to, of course I don't." With the soft jade in his arms, Wu Yuan smiled and hugged his girlfriend with his backhand, saying lovingly: "You must have worked hard in Tokyo."
"Is the album ready?"
Liu Yifei nodded and shared with him excitedly: "The album has been recorded and the MV has been shot."
"Sony is very powerful. My album will be released in the mainland, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, Southeast Asia and Japan in succession, with Japanese and Chinese versions!"
"Sony said that I am the only one in their company whose first album will be released in Asia after debuting!"
"Hehehe, isn't it powerful?"
Wu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Powerful, powerful."
He can understand Sony's idea. After all, Liu Yifei is not a pure newcomer.
After the large-scale release of "Your Name" in Asia, she is also well-known in Asia.
People in other Asian countries may not have seen the TV series she filmed in the mainland, but when they see her photos, they can recognize her as "Luo Sanye".
In this case, Sony can indeed boldly try to release the album in Asia, and maybe it can bring out an Asian little queen.
"On July 1, Sony will hold a new album launch for me. It will be very grand." Liu Yifei grabbed Wu Yuan's arm and looked at him with her head slightly raised.
"Brother, you must come to participate when the time comes. You are an important guest!"
Nowadays, singers are popular to hold special album launch conferences when releasing new albums. They will invite some lucky fans to the scene, but mainly invite friends in various circles to support them.
In this way, the media can write some articles for themselves to promote.
Liu Yifei will of course also hold a new album launch conference and invite many friends to participate.
Lin Zhiying, Hu Ge, Liu Tao, Chen Hao, these actors who have worked with her and have a good relationship with her afterwards, must be invited.
Wu Yuan is the most important guest of her album launch conference.
After all, he is the biggest star among the people Liu Yifei knows, and he is also her boyfriend. How can he miss such an important occasion?
Wu Yuan has been mentally prepared for this. He is still in China, waiting to attend his girlfriend's new album launch conference.
On July 7, "Pirates of the Caribbean" will hold its premiere in North America. If it weren't for Liu Yifei's new album release conference, he would have gone to the United States long ago.
"Let's go, I'll take you home first." Wu Yuan touched Liu Yifei's head, kissed her forehead, and signaled Xiao Zhang that he could drive.
Liu Yifei's residence in Beijing is very large, a large villa in Shunyi, with a lawn as big as several basketball courts.
However, this house is not theirs, it can only be regarded as a borrowed residence.
Liu Yifei raised many cats and dogs at home, all of which were abandoned stray cats and dogs. She felt sorry for them, so she took them all home to raise them.
Although the mother and daughter have not returned to Beijing much in the past year, these cats and dogs are still well raised by the nanny.
Driving them back home, as soon as the big iron gate outside the mansion opened, Liu Yifei jumped out of the car and ran to the front yard.
Similarly, the cats and dogs who heard the noise also ran out of the yard.
To be honest, this scene was really scary, at least for Wu Yuan, who doesn't usually keep pets, it was really shocking.
There were about 20 or 30 cats and dogs, rushing in front of Liu Yifei. The cats were okay, they were all relatively cool, at most they just looked up at her a few times.
The dogs were incredible, jumping up and down, trying to pounce on her and lick her face.
Wu Yuan, who was walking slowly behind her, saw this and smiled and sighed: "Fortunately, the new villa I bought also has a large yard, otherwise I don't know how to accommodate you cats and dogs."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei, who was still happily playing with the cats, immediately blushed from head to neck and then to ears.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" She muttered a little embarrassedly.
How did the topic suddenly turn to cohabitation? She was not mentally prepared for this.
"Why, do you want to stay here forever?" Wu Yuan said calmly: "This house belongs to your godfather, it's not appropriate to live here all the time."
"When the new villa I bought in Beijing is built, you and Aunt Liu can move there.
Looking at Liu Yifei's blushing face, Wu Yuan stopped teasing her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't move there, I have several properties in Beijing."
"I'm not going." Liu Yifei snorted, "I want to buy my own house and live with my mother!"
"How much money do you make? Can you afford such a big villa?" Wu Yuan asked funny.
Although Liu Yifei is a big star now, she really doesn't make much money.
Now is not the time for the star's income to explode later.
Hongxing Wu didn’t start a charity, either.
Mr. Chen and Liu Yifei signed normal artist management contracts, and they also drew commissions according to industry standards.
The total remuneration for the four TV series Liu Yifei filmed was just over one million. After taking the commission, the remaining amount may be less than one million.
She has also received a lot of endorsements in recent years. Brands such as Yogurt and Sprite have asked her to be short-term endorsements. When these endorsement fees are added up, she can get about five to six million.
It looks like I've made a lot of money, but compared with the big villa in front of me, it's still a drop in the bucket.
Even in the suburbs of Beijing, if you want to buy a villa with such a large area, it will cost you tens of millions.
The new villa Wu Yuan bought is located in Chaoyang, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 500 square meters, and cost him more than 20 million.
Liu Yifei definitely can't afford so much money now.
But she can only buy a villa with a yard, otherwise there will be no place for the cats and dogs she keeps.
Just as he was about to tease his little girlfriend again, Liu Xiaoli came out from behind Wu Yuan and said, "It's too early to talk about this now. Let's go in and take a rest."
"Xiaoyuan, please stay here for dinner tonight and try auntie's cooking."
Ever since Wu Yuan asked her to stop calling him "Director Wu", Liu Xiaoli had gradually gotten used to calling him "Xiao Yuan", which seemed quite novel to Wu Yuan.
Apart from Liu Xiaoli, there should be no other person in the world who dares to call him that.
"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Wu Yuan smiled and nodded. My mother-in-law wants to invite me to dinner, so I can't refuse!
A few days later, July 1st came quickly.
Liu Yifei's first Mandarin album of the same name "Liu Yifei" held an album press conference in a hotel in Beijing.
On that day, dozens of media from all over the country were invited to the scene.
Wu Yuan also came to the scene and sat with other invited guests, mainly Liu Yifei's friends in the industry.
Wu Yuan was quite at ease, sitting in the front row with his legs crossed and waiting quietly for the press conference to begin.
But the group of people sitting next to him were really tense and reserved, fearing that they would not perform well in front of Wu Yuan, which would make the great director dissatisfied and lose the opportunity to make his movies in the future.
No way, the level of Liu Yifei's friends in the industry is indeed quite different from Wu Yuan's.
Except for classmates like Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, they had a lot of contact with Wu Yuan in school, so they were able to maintain their composure.
Others, including Chen Hao, Liu Tao, Lin Zhiying, etc., could not maintain their composure in front of Wu Yuan.
Hu Ge was the only one who was joking, "Director Wu, are you here to support Yifei?"
"Yes." Wu Yuan, who had his legs crossed, curled his lips and said in a pretense of distress: "She pestered me and insisted that I come to cheer her up. I have to come."
On the side, Su Chang, who had been secretly observing Wu Yuan, couldn't help but chuckled.
She knew the trouble between Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan, so she couldn't help laughing when she heard Wu Yuan talking nonsense.
But when Wu Yuan's eyes glanced over, Su Chang immediately withered, made a sealed expression, and immediately stared at the empty stage, sitting in the same posture as a primary school student participating in an art performance.
Hey, this girl is interesting.
Looking at her with a smile, Wu Yuan laughed and shook his head, withdrew his attention, looked at Lin Zhiying, and asked with a gentle expression: "Xiao Zhi, how is the filming of "Sheep Herding Stars" going?"
"Everything went smoothly." Lin Zhiying quickly replied: "The director is very professional, the actors cooperate well, and the atmosphere of the crew is great."
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded and said something kind to his artist: "Jinsha is still a newcomer and has only acted in two TV series. If you don't perform well on the crew and delay everyone, please bear with it."
"Where is it?" Lin Zhiying waved his hand quickly: "Jinsha is very good at acting. He is very talented. He will not delay everyone."
Regardless of whether his words were sincere or polite, Wu Yuan was very comfortable listening to him anyway. No wonder Lin Zhiying was able to get along well in the industry and had a very good reputation. He was indeed a very smooth person who knew how to be an idol.
"Well, if there is a suitable script next time, we will cooperate again." Wu Yuan said politely.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiying immediately burst into laughter. Just as he was about to say a few more words of compliments, the lights suddenly turned on on the stage, and several fireworks exploded. He was wearing a black vest and short skirt, and had his hair styled into explosive curls. Liu Yifei came up from behind the scenes.
Behind her were seven or eight similarly dressed backup dancers.
The music suddenly sounded, it was very rhythmic dance music.
All the guests and reporters who were chatting quietly immediately fell silent and turned their attention to the stage.
Liu Yifei's fans even held up light bulbs and screamed with excitement.
Fairy sister has never done such a cool dress up before!
There is no doubt that Liu Yifei's appearance has subverted everyone's impression of her.
The fairy in fluttering white clothes has turned into a sexy dancer!
Only Wu Yuan had an unexplainable expression on his face.
From the perspective of current aesthetics, Liu Yifei's look is not rustic, but rather trendy. Popular singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan also dress in this style.
But Wu Yuan has the vision of the future after all. In his opinion, Liu Yifei's look is really hard to describe, especially the fishnet stockings.
Unfortunately, he himself is not in the fashion circle, so he can't give any help in this regard, let alone give instructions to the fashion stylist who does her styling.
"The language you gave is too good to be dangerous."
"How to distinguish, don't let you catch the weakness in your heart."
On the stage, Liu Yifei has already started singing and dancing. After a year of training, her dancing level is indeed quite good.
A very powerful dance, the guests were amazed, and the fans screamed and shouted.
Today, Liu Yifei showed another side of her that she had never shown in front of the public, a very wild side.
In fact, there has always been a little boy living in Liu Yifei's heart. This time, she was addicted. She danced very vigorously and vigorously.
Wu Yuan listened very seriously and watched very seriously.
In fact, in both lives, it was the first time for him to hear this song and watch Liu Yifei sing and dance.
Forgive him, in his dream, Wu Yuan didn't pay attention to Liu Yifei's album released by the crossover music scene. At that time, he was still working hard to become an assistant director, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these.
However, although Wu Yuan wrote lyrics for several songs in "Fated to Love You".
But Wu Yuan, who doesn't know much about music, can't judge the quality of this song "Heart Palpitations".
He can only intuitively think that this song is very ordinary and doesn't seem to be worthy of the "200,000" album sales in his memory.
Touching his chin, Wu Yuan wondered in his heart whether he had to come forward and copy some songs for his girlfriend to help her?
The path of a singer is still easier than that of an actor, and it is easier to gain popularity.
Because as long as the music of a singer is good, he can become popular all over the world overnight.
Like Avril Lavigne in the past few years, Bieber, Slut, Moneypuff, A-Mei and others who will emerge in the future all became popular all over the world with just one song.
Wu Yuan thought about it and decided to have a good chat with his girlfriend later. If she really wants to develop in the music industry, he can help her.
Apart from anything else, if Liu Yifei copied Slut's "Call Me Maybe", it would be no problem for her to become the number one on the Billboard chart.
By then, she will be familiar to the North American public and become popular. It will be much easier to enter Hollywood in the future!
