Chapter 65 18th Birthday Ceremony [Happy New Year!]
......
"What idea?"
"A series of incredible stories unfold when elite talents from a major city come to the west."
"The vast Gobi Desert is filled with yellow sand."
Damn it...
It really is this movie!
Fang Yi only heard the beginning before guessing that Ning Hao's new idea was that film that had been banned for many years.
They're floating!
That bastard's really gotten cocky!
Fang Yi did not intend to persuade or stop Ning Hao; there were some things that even friends shouldn't say.
He's not a nanny, and Ning Hao isn't a child.
I won't let a few words from someone stop me from having an idea; directors all have their own personalities.
【No Man's Land】was a difficult project to produce, and it's possible that Ning Hao is going to have to walk the same path as in his previous life. During the preparation of his new film, he encountered many twists and turns.
I had no choice but to release [Crazy Racing] first.
Go ahead and take pictures!
Fang Yi thought to himself, but listened attentively as the dog talked about his ideas.
After hearing the idea, he commented that the story was "profound," and left while Ning Hao was still in a daze.
There are a lot of people in the film crew waiting, he doesn't have time to be a teacher.
"Haozi, I won't keep you any longer."
"Let's get together again when 'Crazy Stone' is released."
......
Time passed, and before we knew it, the opening scene was finished.
Evening of the 24th.
After finishing work, Fang Yi gave the crew two days off.
"Go back and rest, prepare, and fly to Hong Kong Island the day after tomorrow, August 27th."
"Understood, thank you, director."
"Director, you've worked hard. You should get some rest too."
"Everyone, hurry up and load all the equipment onto the truck."
Upon hearing that they had a day off, the crew members instantly perked up, their fatigue from a day's work completely revived.
Fang Yi asked Guo Fan to keep an eye on things and then drove back to Huayi with the equipment truck before leaving the Huairou Film and Television Base.
As soon as I got home, Liu Yifei called.
"Senior, are you done with work?"
"Just got home. Don't worry, I'll definitely attend your coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow."
Fang Yi responded with a smile, went into the bedroom and found two invitations of different styles.
One was a standard invitation prepared by Liu Xiaoli, which invited mostly industry bigwigs, seniors, and heads, executives and officials of major film and television companies.
One of them was an invitation card that the little girl made herself and sent to some of her close friends.
The two invitations not only represent Fang Yi's status in the industry, but also demonstrate her close relationship with the young girl.
"Sissi, there won't be any presents tomorrow..."
"Hehe... I'm so happy you're here."
On the other end of the phone, Liu Yifei chuckled sweetly. Upon learning that Fang Yi had specially left work early, she was overjoyed, her pretty face beaming with happiness.
After chatting for a few more minutes, the girl wanted to hang up, saying she needed to call Changchang and her classmates.
Fang Yi told her to get some rest early tonight so she could be well-rested to receive everyone's blessings.
After hanging up the phone, he took off his clothes and walked naked into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, I called a restaurant near my apartment complex to order food.
Food ordering services already existed in this era, but there were few full-time delivery drivers, and the yellow vests and Smurfs hadn't been born yet.
Fang Yi, wrapped in a bath towel, went to the bedroom, turned on his usual internet-connected computer, and surfed the web.
really..
In the entertainment media section, most headlines were reporting on the little girl's coming-of-age ceremony.
[Crystal Princess, Filipino-Vietnamese 18!]
Taking advantage of the little girl's birthday, Chen Jingfei and Sony Music Entertainment held a grand celebration, inviting many colleagues from the entertainment industry to attend under the pretext of signing a business contract.
This move undoubtedly signals to the outside world that the young girl has grown up and is about to make a deep entry into the entertainment industry, riding the waves and reaching the pinnacle.
To be honest, given Fang Yi's cautious nature, he doesn't like such a grand display.
Chen Jingfei had a mental lapse and didn't consider the consequences of being so outspoken.
It's fair to say that starting tomorrow, most female celebrities in the entertainment industry will consider Liu Yifei their number one enemy.
From the Four Great Actresses to the First-Tier and Second-Tier Actresses, and then to the actresses born in the 85s and 90s.
Almost every female celebrity with some looks will be told by their agent and the people behind them after they enter the industry that when they can be compared to Liu Yifei in a certain aspect.
Congratulations, girl, you've become famous!
Yes, it's that melodramatic!
Whether it's creating buzz, a character in a drama, an endorsement, a male celebrity co-starring with the actor, or even an outfit worn at a public event.
If you're bold enough to try and frame Liu Yifei, or to get the media to smear her, the system will automatically match you with female celebrities born in the 85s and 90s.
Everyone's goal is simple and direct.
Take down Liu Yifei!
The young girl is both unfortunate and fortunate. With her unique talent and temperament in the entertainment industry, she is still going strong 20 years later.
Looking around, you can't find a single person in the entire entertainment industry who can act as a substitute.
"The Godfather, haha!"
Fang Yi browsed the news for a while and then sneered.
Go ahead and do it.
In her previous life, the young girl's promising career was ruined by Chen Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli, who continued to sabotage her until she had enemies all over the entertainment industry.
If it weren't for her biological father's return and the government's support, it's unknown when the young girl's career would have had a second spring.
......
The next day.
Early in the morning, Wang Zhonglei called and asked Fang Yi to go to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse together.
The little girl's coming-of-age ceremony will be held at the Fangfei Garden of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
On Huayi's side, Xiao Wang represented them.
"I won't go to the company, see you at the hotel."
Fang Yi refused to keep Xiao Wang company, slowly got out of bed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and took a shower.
At nine o'clock, he changed into a sharp suit and drove out.
On the way, he received a text message from Liu Yifei, who asked him like a busybody if he had left home and where he was.
"Senior, come straight to the backstage area when you get to the hotel. Changchang and I are getting our makeup done."
"Okay... I'll be right there."
Fang Yi replied to a message while waiting at a red light and turned on the car's music.
Then, he stepped on the gas.
At 9:30, the Volkswagen drove into the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Chen Jingfei and Sony Entertainment made a big splash, investing over a million yuan to host this coming-of-age ceremony.
Starting from the main hall, a red carpet extends all the way to Fangfei Garden, adorned with flowers on both sides. Crystal chandeliers, auspicious symbols, balloons, and small pine trees are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, creating a fairytale-like and romantic atmosphere at first glance.
The parking lot was filled with luxury cars, and a large number of reporters were waiting outside the main hall to record the guests who were present today.
After getting out of the car, Fang Yi approached the main hall and stepped onto the red carpet under the guidance of the etiquette ladies.
"Director Fang, look this way, give me a smile."
"Director Fang, why did you come empty-handed? Where's your gift?"
"Director Fang, how's filming for 'Taken' going?"
As they walked the red carpet, reporters snapped photos and bombarded them with questions.
Fang Yi raised a gentle smile, waved his hand, and generously displayed his handsome figure.
Please sign.
The receptionist led him to the signature wall and handed him a ballpoint pen.
Fang Yi found a moment of free time and wrote his name in a flourish.
He then put down his pen, smiled slightly at the young lady, and stepped into the room.
More guests entered from behind.
He stood at the entrance of the main hall and looked back.
Wow... they're all familiar faces.
Wu Kebo, Wang Jinghua, Zhou Yawen, followed by Zhu Shimao, Zhang Jizhong, and You Jianming.
Zhou Yawen exchanged a few words with Wang Jinghua, then slowed his pace, waiting for someone, who seemed to be Luo Jing.
After glancing at it a few times, Fang Yi stopped paying attention and turned to walk into the main hall.
Inside the main hall, lanterns and decorations were on display, and the view was expansive. Guests who had arrived early chatted in twos and threes, raising their glasses, each with a joyful smile on their face.
When he sees someone he knows well, such as a teacher from the Beijing Film Academy, Fang Yi will go up and say hello.
More and more people saw him and took the initiative to shake his hand.
"Director Fang, my name is [your name]..."
"Director Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together."
Amidst the celebrations, and accompanied by the usual business networking, the young girl's coming-of-age ceremony provided everyone with a high-end and sophisticated platform.
Fang Yi accepted all the business cards offered with a friendly smile.
He didn't have a business card, so all he could say was "I'm sorry."
At that moment, Chen Jingfei came out from backstage and spotted him immediately.
"Haha...this must be Director Fang Yi, right? He's indeed a handsome and exceptional individual!"
"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
