Bright Era of China Entertainment

The sky was clear and the sun was covered by clouds, which made the morning sun a little warmer, not so hot.

But the temperature is still not low, still in the early 30s.

In front of the back door of the big villa, near the west side of the parking lot, in the [-]-square-meter swimming pool, the sky-blue water looks very clear.

On a yellow swan swimming ring and a white seahorse swimming ring, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were lying on each.

Chu Xuan was wearing swimming trunks, and Concubine Liu Yi was wearing a one-piece swimsuit. They both wore sunglasses as if they were sunbathing. The blue sky and white clouds were above their heads, and the cool water was beneath them. Modern floor-to-ceiling windows on one side reflected the shade on the other side The lawn and the garden where the trees and green plants at the end are located.

Under such circumstances, these two people are very uncomfortable.

"Let's go shopping later." Concubine Liu Yi was lying on the swimming lap, holding a fashion magazine in her hand.

"Okay." Chu Xuan replied, holding a newspaper and magazine related to Hollywood movies in his hand.

The weather in these dog days is too hot, even if you go out to play, you will be too hot to play for a long time.

He and Concubine Liu Yi stayed at home for several days without going anywhere. They either transformed the living room on the first floor into a KTV to sing and sing, or watched movies in the home theater on the second floor, or practiced dancing with her in the dance room on the first floor. , Practice body, or play photography in the studio on the second floor, or practice lines and play dubbing in the recording studio.

Except for occasionally chatting with Liu Yi and others about the industrialization of screenwriting on the Internet, and learning about the company's situation in the company's administrative group, they basically don't do business, and play whatever is fun.

As Concubine Liu Yi's birthday was approaching, and she was going to America in a few days, it was rare for him to spend these few days relaxing with Concubine Liu Yi.

It's just that if you have nothing to do, you will be bored if you stay at home all the time.

Hearing Concubine Liu Yi's words, he also knew that Concubine Liu Yi couldn't stay any longer, and wanted to go out for a walk even in the sun.

"They'll be here soon!" Liu Xiaoli appeared at the back door of the small villa.

Chu Xuan closed the magazine, Huang Bo and Huang Xuan were coming, and it was not good for him and Concubine Liu Yi to stay in the swimming pool.

He got into the water from the swimming ring, grabbed the hand offered by Concubine Liu Yi, and led her to the shore.

After he landed, Concubine Liu Yi lay on the swimming lap, and habitually spread her hands towards Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan picked her up as the princess, but didn't put her down, and carried her upstairs to get dressed and changed.

He didn't know if it was because the "sequel" of Concubine Liu Yi's last scene with Princess Nihuang lasted for too long, Concubine Liu Yi was very clingy to him the past few days when he returned home.

He occasionally teased Concubine Liu Yi because of this, but according to Concubine Liu Yi's answer: "When the queen is also squeamish, don't be ignorant of good and bad."

In the past, there was how steel was tempered, and how the current witch was tempered.

"The Analects of Confucius" also says that a gentleman has three changes: look at him with dignity, even if he is gentle, and listen to his words but also be harsh.

The general idea is that a person looks the same from a distance, looks the same when you get close, and changes when you get along.

He felt that this sentence was not rigorous, at least not on Concubine Liu Yi.

Where does Concubine Liu Yi only change three times, it's like changing every stage, every change is different.

For Concubine Liu Yi's increasingly unpredictable personality, even "The Analects of Confucius" couldn't explain the logic, so he chose to show it badly.

Whether you can figure it out or not, you are my woman anyway.

This time, one sentence was answered correctly, and it answered a question that even "The Analects" could not answer.

"Mom, let's go out and play." Concubine Liu Yi said when she came to the door of the small villa. She had just taken a shower and changed, and was going to go shopping with Chu Xuan and report to her mother.

"Aren't you afraid of the sun?" Liu Xiaoli was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book. She knew that her daughter was most afraid of the sun, and she was reluctant to go out for a walk these days.

"It's boring, let's go." Concubine Liu Yi said, seeing Chu Xuan driving a car coming from the parking lot, she walked over to meet him.

"Come back early in the afternoon, grandma and the others will arrive in the afternoon." Liu Xiaoli spoke a little louder when her daughter was nowhere to be seen.

"Okay!" Concubine Liu Yi replied, went to the front of the car and opened the door, and got on the co-pilot.

She put on her sunglasses and waved her hand: "Let's go!"

Chu Xuan drove the car out, just in time to see several cars approaching.

The two cars in front belong to the hotel, and the two cars behind are Huang Bo and Huang Xuan.

It is estimated that they brought a table. There are five tables for dinner, and there are not so many tables and benches at home.

Concubine Liu Yi's birthday will be in two days, and the preparations that should be made in advance are being prepared one after another under Liu Xiaoli's arrangement.

"It's hard work." Chu Xuan pressed down the car window, greeted the friends in the two cars, and glanced at the situation in the car. Several people were holding large and small bags of decorations in their hands. They also come every day to help Liu Xiaoli with the arrangements.

"Chu Xuan, I want milk tea!" Cheng Hao said.

"Master, I want to eat pineapple!" Zhao Liying said.

"I want to burn jelly grass!" Liu Tao joined in the fun.

Chu Xuan made an "OK" gesture to them, put his hands back on the steering wheel, and drove away.

In fact, the mother-in-law can leave it to the team members to do such a small matter as setting up the villa.

But the mother-in-law did not do this, but chose some friends of him and Concubine Liu Yi to help.

The people in the team will always follow him and Concubine Liu Yi during their busy schedules, and the sense of trust and intimacy between the two parties is undoubtedly the highest.

On the contrary, some friends will gradually alienate the two parties due to their own affairs as time goes by.

The mother-in-law asked Huang Bo and Huang Xuan to help, also for the sake of him and Concubine Liu Yi, so that the friendship between the two can continue and deepen.

This sounds a bit arrogant, and it’s okay to ask others to help if you don’t feel embarrassed. Is this also called maintaining friendship?
This is just a subjective thought. Thinking from the perspective of Huang Bo and the others, when he and Concubine Liu Yi are getting more and more popular, their careers are getting bigger and bigger, their status is getting higher and higher, and they are not needed for any big or small things. When feelings are indifferent.

The smaller the matter, the more friends you invite to get together, they will think that you still remember him in your heart, and the friendship between the two parties will naturally continue and climb.

This is also a way of dealing with things that his mother-in-law taught him and Concubine Liu Yi, the way to maintain friendship among friends in this circle.

"Is that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi?!"

In this hot weather, of course, you can’t just go shopping on the street, you have to go into the store to reconcile.

Whether to buy or not is another matter, the main thing is to blow the air conditioner.

Randomly came to a commercial street, and as some passers-by stopped to watch, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei entered a jade shop.

The items in the jade shop are a bit more expensive, and they are considered luxury goods. There are a lot of people looking at them, but relatively few people buy them.

The female shop assistants covered their mouths with surprise and joy on their faces, they didn't expect Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi to come to the shop.

Their eyes followed the two, as if they were confirming whether it was a real person or a dummy.

"Men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha, buy a Jade Buddha?" Chu Xuan walked, looking at the jade in the counter.

Concubine Liu Yi held his arm. Hearing what he said, she said, "Is this your birthday present?"

"It doesn't count." Chu Xuan shook his head: "If you don't want to buy directly with money, just go shopping as usual."

Concubine Liu Yi showed her face and smiled, took off her sunglasses and Chu Xuan came to a counter, looked down at the jade in the glass counter: "We are two each, you buy Guanyin and I buy Buddha."

"Okay." Chu Xuan replied, usually the two of them don't pay much attention to these accessories, and it seems meaningful to buy a pair here today.

Concubine Liu Yi was obviously more interested in buying in pairs than buying alone. She stroked the strands of hair that had fallen from lowering her head, and carefully observed the jade on the counter.

"Look, which one to buy." Chu Xuan said sideways.

"Buy me!!" Suddenly there was a sound like thunder on the ground, and a woman excitedly said in the crowd.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi heard the sound and looked at each other, they couldn't laugh or cry.

The clerk at the counter and the proprietress walking over also couldn't help laughing.

"You still have custom-made ones here." Concubine Liu Yi saw the custom-made jade beside her. This was the first time she saw a custom-made jade, and she looked at it curiously.

Chu Xuan was also watching. On the white and emerald green jade, there was an ancient man, a man; on the closely connected piece of jade, there was also an ancient man, a woman.

It was interesting, and it was the first time he had seen it.

This is not for sale and is meant to showcase the shop's custom craftsmanship.

"There are also matching words." Chu Xuan said, and the card read: I illuminate the moon with my king's heart, and the bright moon will accompany me forever.

The proprietress smiled and explained: "This is the jade carved by our master according to an ancient folk story. It is said that there was a woman in Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty. Because her husband died in battle, she often cried alone by looking at the moon through the window."

The proprietress pointed to the jade pendant: "So look at this piece of jade, the woman on it is looking at the moon."

Concubine Liu Yi took a closer look, and it was indeed the case, her eyes lit up with interest: "It's so artistic."

But this is not for sale, and it is meaningless to look at it more.

Even if she could buy it, she wouldn't buy it. If there is artistic conception, there is artistic conception, but the meaning is not very good. Her husband died in battle. It is desolate enough to think about.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at Jade Guanyin and Jade Buddha again, and asked, "Can words be engraved on the back of the jade?"

"Yes." The clerk nodded: "But you need to charge an extra manual fee, and it also depends on how many words you engrave."

"Only one piece of jade is engraved with one character." Concubine Liu Yi said, she wanted to engrave "Xian" on the back of Chu Xuan's Jade Guanyin, and engrave "Xuan" on the back of her Jade Buddha.

"If you buy it, it will take half an hour at most," the clerk said.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at Chu Xuan and pointed to two pieces of jade: "How about just these two?"

Chu Xuan looked at it, he didn't ask what Concubine Liu Yi wanted to engrave, he probably guessed it, and nodded: "OK."

The clerk asked them to go to the back studio to inquire about the details of the engraving, but Chu Xuan didn't go, and let Concubine Liu Yi make the decision on the grounds of taking another look.

Concubine Liu Yi did not doubt that he was there, and followed the clerk.

Chu Xuan lowered his head and continued to look at the jade, and asked, "Miss Boss, do you think diamonds are better or jade?"

diamond? ... The proprietress was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Concubine Liu Yi's back, and then looked back at Chu Xuan: "This is not comparable. If you look at the average market price, diamonds are more expensive than jade, but if the jade is ancient or very rare, then Kind of, jade is more expensive than diamonds."

"It depends on what buyers value, and that's the most important thing."

Chu Xuan nodded, and it was indeed the same reason: "Which one do you think is more meaningful?"

The proprietress smiled: "I can only speak from the perspective of a Chinese. I think jade is more meaningful than diamonds."

"Can you customize a full set of jade jewelry?" Chu Xuan asked again.

The proprietress raised her eyebrows. She was really planning to get married. Apart from this, she couldn't think of a reason for Chu Xuan to ask such a question. She said, "Yes."

She added: "You are the first person to have this idea in our shop."

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, but did not reply.

The proprietress continued: "But if it is a complete set of custom-made, its price may be more expensive than diamond jewelry of the same grade, because the production process of jade is very particular, you can't use machines, you can only do it by hand, and the production time will be a bit long. It’s best to state the requirements a year in advance.”

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, knowing the general idea in his heart.

The proprietress ignited the fire of gossip, and asked softly with a smile: "Chu Xuan, you and Concubine Liu Yi..."

Chu Xuan glanced at her and said, "I'm just asking, just out of curiosity."

The proprietress didn't say much anymore, but there was a meaningful smile in her eyes.

Concubine Liu Yi came out of the studio and took Chu Xuan's arm: "Let's go, I'll get it later."

The young couple left the jade shop, not caring about the passers-by following them, and continued to stroll.

But the news about their appearance and shopping spread like wildfire on the Internet.

Among them, the good news media used a pair of jade pendants as the topic to outline a breaking news-Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi are getting ready for marriage.

"Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi are getting married?" Xiaoyun from Shenghai let out a shock in the unit.

"Really!" Xiao Ru from Star City University was stunned in the dormitory.

"It must be fake!" An Yuxi from a private middle school in Beijing curled her lips. Before marriage, there was an engagement, and before the engagement, there was a proposal. Brother Chu Xuan and sister Qianqian couldn't be so fast, but anyone with an IQ in their minds would not Letter, and thus was deceived by the media clicks.

--villa.

Huang Bo, Huang Xuan and others were resting and chatting in the living room of the big villa. The laptop that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei used to play games became their temporary entertainment tool.

Seeing the sudden news on Weiyu, and there are pictures to prove it, the friends are full of fun.

"It's different when you're popular. If you go out casually, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky." Huang Bo took a sip of the cold drink, which was made by Liu Xiaoli and specially brought it to entertain them.

"I really know how to find topics. I bought a pair of jade, and it can also be extended to marriage." Cheng Hao shook his head, feeling helpless for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi. It is good to be popular, but it is also easy to be found Make a fuss about the topic.

"It shouldn't affect them, right? They're 'national couples', so it's okay." Liu Tao said, eating tomato-flavored potato chips.

"But fans will have expectations. The fans of Master and Mistress are their lover fans. They are the ones who want to see Master and Mistress get married the most. Fans should not be very disappointed if the news is false." Zhao Liying analyzed.

"Do you see when they cared about the opinions of the outside world." Huang Xuan said, and glanced at Zhao Liying: "You thought they were all like you. Sister Hetian Zhen is always thinking about how to manage fans."

Zhao Liying gave a "tsk", and slapped Huang Xuan unhappily, this Huang Hanpi always hated her.

"Indeed, Liying, you have to learn from your master and wife." Huang Bo said, half jokingly and half seriously: "To figure out what fans like, it's better to focus on the works, or if your master finds out, you have to got scolded."

Zhao Liying was a little embarrassed and a little scared. She had always respected Chu Xuan, the master who brought her to debut and made her angry. Although she was no older than her age, facing Chu Xuan was like facing an elder. A little daunting.

"It's Miss Tian Zhen..."

"cough."

Before Zhao Liying finished speaking, Huang Xuan interrupted her with a "cough".

Although all the people present were acquaintances, only Brother Bo and them were artists from the same company, while Cheng Hao and Liu Tao belonged to the outer circle, so some things cannot be said clearly.

Compared with Sister Hua, Master, and Sister Bai's long-term planning capabilities, he and Zhao Liying's manager Yang Tianzhen focus on artist marketing, not good at long-term operation, and have no perspective on whether the works are good or bad.

Yang Tianzhen also often instilled some ideas about the fan economy in them, so that Zhao Liying was a bit led astray.

He had long wanted to talk to Master about it, but Sister Tian Zhen used to be Master's assistant and had a very good relationship, so he couldn't talk about changing the manager.

Anyway, this year he and Zhao Liying will settle down for a year, learn to act and hone their acting skills, let's talk to Master later when we find a chance.

Suddenly, there was movement at the door.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi who came in carrying big bags and small bags, all of which were brought for them to eat.

Except for the jade pendant that was already worn around the neck, the two of them didn't buy anything for themselves.

"Buying so much food?" Huang Bo looked around.

"I can't kill you." Chu Xuan smiled, and Liu Yifei put the big and small bags on the coffee table.

"You underestimate me. As for eating snacks, I can't stop eating them for a day." Cheng Hao rolled up his sleeves, ready to have a big meal.

"Go out and see..." Liu Tao pointed to the computer and got up to look for something to eat.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi glanced at it. Did they buy a piece of jade in preparation for their marriage?
The two looked at each other and smiled, then put the matter out of the blue.

"Master, your family is here, over there." Zhao Liying took out the pineapple box and reminded.

"Come?" Concubine Liu Yi said pleasantly, and tugged at Chu Xuan's hand.

"Then play first, let's go over there." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked out.

An hour ago, my grandmother's family arrived in the capital.

Liu Xiaoli called Wang Jinhua, and the company sent two cars to the airport to meet her.

The family has not seen each other for a long time, so there is the joy and joy of reunion.

But after booing and asking each other warmly, the topic started to go off track.

"Xiaoli, is Xiaoxuan going to propose to Sissy next year?" Uncle was all smiles, aunt, aunt Zhou Wenqiong, uncle, cousin and grandmother were all excited, and the two children were sitting on the sofa eating snacks.

"That's what he said. Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely do what he said." Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly.

"Isn't it a bit early?" Uncle said, he was busy in Los Angeles for the New Year two years ago, and he never saw Chu Xuan's face. family member.

"I also think it's a bit early." My aunt agreed.

"30 years old should be appropriate." My cousin said.

"Why do you join in the fun of other people's business." Uncle said.

Seeing the whole family chattering, Liu Xiaoli held her forehead and shook her head.

Back then, she only heard from Chu Xuan that his mother gave him advice on marriage. She was quite curious, how does a 70-year-old mother understand young people's love?
So she made a phone call to talk to the old lady, and incidentally told about Chu Xuan's marriage proposal next year. Unexpectedly, the old lady spread the news at home.

She also understands that the old man is looking forward to the good of his family, and once he hears something good, he can't hide it in his heart.

But she regretted it a little now. The big family all expressed their thoughts, but does it have anything to do with Xiaoxuan and Qianqian?Don't say that you leaked your mouth and affected the relationship between the two children.

"You know what a fart, it's just right, just the two children Xiaoxuan and Qianqian, you have to get things done as soon as possible, your thoughts are all under normal circumstances, but these two children are normal in every way What's the situation?" Grandma said confidently.

When the old matriarch spoke, the audience was silent, not daring to fart.

The sisters Liu Xiaoli and Zhou Wenqiong looked at each other and smiled. The reason why they didn't speak on this topic was that they had known for a long time that the old matriarch always liked to make the final decision when the family was discussing serious matters, in order to show their status in the family, that's all. strong.

The two daughters have to be careful, so as not to be scolded.

"Grandma!" Concubine Liu Yi shouted happily, and she and Chu Xuan changed into slippers and walked in.

The whole family looked at the door together, each smiling.

Grandma stood up, full of joy, and waved again and again: "My Sissy, come and show grandma."

She looked at Chu Xuan again, and said in surprise, "Oh, Xiao Xuan, what's wrong with you, you black one."

Except that he had never met Chu Xuan's uncle, Chu Xuan's complexion attracted the attention of the whole family.

Chu Xuan suppressed a smile, a little embarrassed.

"For filming, playing a general, I purposely tanned." Liu Xiaoli explained to her son-in-law.

Everyone was stunned and understood.

Suddenly, the youngest son of his uncle's family looked at Chu Xuan, and said childishly: "Brother-in-law, do you have any red envelopes?"

The family members were stunned, and the aunt couldn't laugh or cry, and patted the head of the youngest son: "It's not Chinese New Year, what red envelope do you want!"

The uncle said with a smile: "Xiaoxuan came to Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year the year before last, and a brother-in-law is a hundred."

Zhou Wenqiong went on to say: "Last year, the price was raised during the Chinese New Year here. A brother-in-law is one thousand. Although I haven't met a few times, these two children remember Xiaoxuan, the most generous brother-in-law in the world."

"Hahaha..." Everyone roared with laughter.

Meeting Liu Xiaoli brought the family members together. Now that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi arrived, the whole family was neat and full of the atmosphere of family reunion. (end of this chapter)
