Chapter 253 A Couple of Friends Chatting Under a Tree

Beijing, Wu Yuan's old courtyard.

Since he moved away, the courtyard has been deserted and empty.

But today is different. Even if you stand outside the gate, you can hear the hustle and bustle of life in the courtyard.

Under the two jujube trees in the courtyard, there are several tables. A dozen people are sitting around the tables, fanning themselves in the cool breeze and chatting.

"Yuan'er, I never thought that you would really get along with Liu Yifei?"

Chen Kun, who was sitting next to Wu Yuan, frowned slightly and said in a very puzzled tone, "What do you like about her?"

His impression of Liu Yifei is basically still the little girl who couldn't act well in the play in "The Golden Age".

And Wu Yuan, in his heart, has always been regarded as a peer.

Although he is five or six years older than Wu Yuan.

So he can't accept that Wu Yuan is dating such a little girl.

"What else can he like? She looks good." Zhou Xun, who was sitting on the other side of Wu Yuan, rolled his eyes.

Although she said she didn't have that kind of intention towards Wu Yuan, she suddenly heard that Wu Yuan was in love, and it was Liu Yifei who was once hyped by the media, and she felt a little strange in her heart.

Maybe this is the pity that every woman feels when facing an excellent man who is already in love.

Wu Yuan smiled and didn't respond.

Yes, he gathered all his good friends in the circle together today.

On the one hand, it is indeed a long time since he has gathered with everyone, and on the other hand, he also called them to announce something, that he and Liu Yifei are in love, and then invite them to attend Liu Yifei's birthday party.

Although he has been in love with Liu Yifei for almost 2 years, he has never told his friends about it, mainly because there is no reason to talk about it.

It just so happens that this time, taking the opportunity of holding a birthday party for Liu Yifei, it will be made public in a small range.

By the way, let everyone give some advice.

Whether it is Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Liu Ye, Xia Yu and others, they have rich experience in love.

"Brother Xun, what should a boyfriend give you girls on their birthdays?" Wu Yuan said with a teasing look on his face: "What gifts did your ex-boyfriends usually give you on your birthday?"

"Let me give you some advice!"

If you were to ask who has the richest love history among the people present, it would definitely not be Chen Kun, who already has a child, but Zhou Xun.

From her first love Lei Ming to Dou Peng, then to Jia Hongsheng, Pu Shu, Li Yapeng, and the current boyfriend Li Daqi, Zhou Xun is not very old, but she has dated many boyfriends.

She was not happy to hear Wu Yuan teasing her like this.

"Hey, Director Wu, what do you mean by this?!"

Zhou Xun frowned and patted Wu Yuan's back, "What's wrong, I'm being sarcastic, right?"

"No, no." Wu Yuan smiled and held Zhou Xun, "I'm really asking for advice."

"What else can I give you?" Xia Yu, who was sitting beside him and cracking melon seeds, said nonchalantly, "Bags, jewelry, clothes, isn't that all?"

Before Wu Yuan could reply, Yuan Quan, who was sitting next to him, was dissatisfied and slapped him on the back of his head.

"It's fine if you fool me like this normally, but you want to teach Director Wu a bad lesson, right?"

Yuan Quan glared at him with dissatisfaction and said to Wu Yuan: "When it comes to giving gifts to girlfriends, the most important thing is the thought, and the gift is not important."

"As long as you prepare it with your heart, even if it's a handwritten painting, it will move the other person."

"Don't listen to Xia Yu's nonsense. We are all in the same circle. Are we short of money? Just buying some bags and jewelry is too thoughtless."

"It's just that I don't care about these things. We have passed the stage of tenderness and sweetness. He thinks that fooling like this will be enough. OK."

"Hey, how about you secretly shoot a documentary for her?" Yuan Quan suddenly slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "You can secretly record the bits and pieces of your daily life and the interesting things that happen with a DV, and then edit it into a documentary and play it at the birthday party."

"You are an international director, and it is very touching to think that an international director shoots a film specifically for his beloved girlfriend!"

Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "This is a good idea."

"But it's too late to start now."

Liu Yifei's birthday is less than a week away.

But you can remember this idea and give it to her on her next birthday!

"Do you have any other ideas? Let's brainstorm!" Wu Yuan glanced at Liu Ye who was drinking tea with his head down. Why is this kid so quiet?

"Yezi, aren't you very experienced in this area?"

"You and your girlfriend, the host, are quite sweet."

"You canvassed for her in the competition, recorded a loving video to cheer her on, and gave her 9,999 fresh roses."

"I remember in 2002, you ran all over the flower shops on the street and bought enough flowers and dolls to cover the whole house, which moved her to tears."

"Quick, teach me, are there any other romantic behaviors, preferably the kind that can make your girlfriend cry."

God has mercy on him. Although Wu Yuan has watched many love movies and filmed them himself, he is really a person who lacks romantic cells.

Maybe he once dreamed of many romantic behaviors when he was 16 years old, but after 20 years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry in his dreams, he has experienced more simple and direct unspoken rules than love, and his romantic cells have long been worn out.

Although he still believes in love, he no longer knows how to create romance and how to move girls.

The first thing that came to mind was to give bags, jewelry, etc. simply and directly like Xia Yu, but he knew that Liu Yifei would not be happy because of this perfunctory money offensive.

He urgently needs his good brothers to add some romantic cells and bring him some inspiration.

However, Liu Ye did not join the discussion as enthusiastically as others, but sighed lazily.

"Director Wu, I broke up."

"Huh?!" Everyone turned to look at Liu Ye.

"We broke up at the end of last year." Liu Ye shook his head: "No matter how sweet a couple is, they sometimes quarrel."

"We had been arguing for several months. At the worst point, I suffered from severe insomnia and could not sleep the whole night."

"Finally we decided to separate."

Xia Yu pursed his lips and silently patted Liu Ye on the shoulder, giving him silent support.

Everyone thought that he and this girlfriend would eventually get married because their relationship was so pure.

We met in Weimo in 2000. One was 19 years old and the other was 22 years old. One was a young girl who came to the capital from a small county in southwest China to work hard, and the other was a young man who had just graduated from Chinese opera.

The two met and fell in love when they were not famous, and they supported each other along the way. One became a movie king and a big star, and the other also found his own way, established a foothold on Hunan Channel and became the host of a popular variety show.

Unexpectedly, it didn’t come to the end in the end.

Wu Yuan also belatedly recalled that the relationship between Liu Ye and Xie Na seemed to have collapsed last year, but he didn't think of it for a while.

Realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he could only smile awkwardly and change the subject: "Hey, Yezi, the box office of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, and Weird Guys" has exceeded 100 million."

"Is this your first starring movie with a box office of over 100 million?"

In "The Promise", he can only be regarded as the fourth or fifth male lead, far from being the leading actor.

"Good Guy, Bad Guy, Weird Guy" is different. Although this movie has three protagonists, the most important role is the good guy played by Liu Ye, and he is the most famous and honored among the three leading actors. By default, he is responsible for the box office.

And he did resist the box office. Although the film's good results may be more due to the subject matter.

"The movie you starred in has a box office of over 100 million yuan. Is it possible that you are being softened by the script invitations you have now?" Wu Yuan asked with a smile.

When talking about this topic, Liu Ye stopped grimacing and nodded with a smile: "There are many scripts coming to me, but there are not many really good scripts, so you still have to choose carefully."

"There is a film directed by a Chinese-American in Hollywood, and he wants me to act in it."

"It's an art film, but it's a rare opportunity to star with actress Meryl."

"I want to do this."

This pole was carried to Hollywood, but everyone was stunned.

Xia Yu was stunned and grabbed Liu Ye's shoulders: "Okay, Yezi!"

"Are you going to Hollywood now?"

"Can you still act with the movie queen?"

Actress Meryl Streep is the top actress in Hollywood. Since her debut in 1975, she has played countless popular movies and roles, and won the Best Actress Award for various TV series and movies. Soft-handed.

Last year, she just won the Oscar for Best Actress for "The Devil Wears Prada" starring Anne Hathaway!

This is a perfect Hollywood top actress, and she is still a popular one.

Liu Ye was actually able to star with her, just because "Good Guys, Bad Guys, and Weird Guys" did well at the box office and was noticed by Hollywood?

Xia Yu looked at Wu Yuan with a bit of passion.

This director Wu's film is really guaranteed to take off, straight to Hollywood!

"Actually, it's not just because of this movie. Director Chen said that he had seen my performances in "Blue Rain", "Balzac and the Little Seamstress" and "Landscape of Love" and thought my performance was okay. This is what I was looking for.”

Liu Ye explained very calmly.

Liu Ye's acting career has always been along the path of literary and artistic films. Starting from his debut in "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", he acted in 13 literary films in seven years.

It has been nominated for the Golden Rooster, Montreal International Film Festival, Golden Horse, Tokyo Film Festival, Venice International Film Festival, Japan Mainichi Film Awards, Cannes Film Festival and other international Class A film festivals.

It can be said that he is the best among the new generation of mainland actors in literary and artistic films, and he is also the most famous internationally.

He has participated in all three major European and Asian Class A film festivals, even more than once.

It is actually quite normal for international directors to notice him.

It's funny to say that Liu Ye, who later became famous again with his humorous and silly image in "Where Are We Going, Dad"? In the first ten years of his debut, Liu Ye always gave people the impression of a literary young man on screen.

The kind that makes you melancholy when you see his face.

"Yezi, congratulations." Wu Yuan congratulated with a smile on his face, "When will the movie start shooting?"

"Can you make it to Yifei's birthday party at the end of the month?"

"Then I can make it!" Liu Ye promised, patting his chest: "Don't worry, Director Wu, I will definitely support you and cheer you up!"

Yes, this artistic young man in the public's mind is a funny person when he is not talking about relationships, and he is a good at stirring up the atmosphere.

"Okay, it's settled!"

Wu Yuan looked around at everyone present and took a deep breath: "I don't have many friends in the circle, just you guys."

"When the time comes, none of you can be absent, come and support my girlfriend!"

"Let's have a lively birthday party!"

Everyone says that I'm busy with my career, so let's do some daily routine to adjust.

I've been a little stuck these two days, so I'm writing slowly, please forgive me
