Bright Era of China Entertainment

"Mom, borrow your sunscreen, mine is gone!" Concubine Liu Yi's voice came from the bedroom, accompanied by the sound of rummaging through boxes.

She is packing her luggage and preparing to leave for Los Angeles.

It's hot out there, and you can't stand it without sunscreen.

There was movement outside the door, and when she heard the cheerful footsteps, she knew it wasn't her mother: "Hey! Sissy."

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at Eland who walked in, she straightened her waist and stroked her hair: "You are finally willing to come to see me, it seems that the boyfriend is more important."

Since Jack came to New Haven, after she had a preliminary discussion with Jack on National Day and separated, Eland, who usually came to play at home when she was free, disappeared, and she got tired of being with Jack all day long.

The good sisters are deeply in love, and the continuation of the friendship was interrupted by a man. She also realized what Su Chang complained at the beginning: the existence of Chu Xuan affected the development of our friendship.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, of course I have to accompany him." Ailande smiled, and grabbed Concubine Liu Yi's shoulder: "You are different. When Chu Xian comes, there must be no place for me by your side, and you Will disappear from my side, am I right?"

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but taunted her. She had corrected the word Chu Xian many times, but Eland just couldn't pronounce it correctly. It seemed that Chu Xuan really wanted to add another nickname.

Hearing Erlande mention Chu Xuan, she also missed Chu Xuan in her heart.

It's mid-October, and Chu Xuan has been filming for a month. If everything goes well, it should be wrapped in a few days.

This also indicates that Chu Xuan will visit her soon.

"Hey." Liu Xiaoli walked into the bedroom and handed over sunscreen: "Do you really need me to accompany you?"

Concubine Liu Yi took the sunscreen, knelt down and put the sunscreen into the suitcase: "No need."

She stood up, jumped up to her mother, and kissed her mother's face: "There are aunts and uncles in Los Angeles."

She gave her mother a hug, leaned on her shoulder and said, "Mom, I've grown up, let me do something independently, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli stroked her daughter's hair, amused and relieved, and said: "Okay, but be careful."

Concubine Liu Yi glanced outside, Caitlin was waiting for her with her back against the wall with her hands folded, she said: "There is Caitlin, she is very good at hitting, who dares to bully me?"

Liu Xiaoli looked out: "Please."

Caitlin smiled and nodded.

Concubine Liu Yi took the suitcase and walked downstairs with Eland.

Jack rushed back to Los Angeles yesterday, probably after discussing with his parents, he called her to invite her to Los Angeles.

It was the first time she worked independently and achieved initial success. She was also very happy, so she couldn't wait to decide to rush to Los Angeles today.

It just so happens that there are no classes these days, and the time just fits in.

"Mom, let's go, goodbye."

"Call when we arrive."

"it is good!"

Liu Xiaoli waved at the gate of the villa, watching the vehicle slowly drive towards the exit of the community.

Her eyes flickered and fluctuated, and she couldn't return to her senses for a long time.

It seems to be the first time that her daughter is not with her when she travels far away.

Even with Caitlin's protection, she was still a little worried.

What if Caitlin is not well protected?
What if Sissy encounters unknown difficulties?
just in case……

There are not so many eventualities in this world, but there are countless ones in her heart as a mother.

After all, I still grow up and want to be truly independent and self-improving.

No matter how well protected the young eagle is, there will always be a day when it will spread its wings and fly high.

……

Los Angeles Airport.

Facing the hot afternoon sun, Concubine Liu Yi, Erlande, and Caitlin each wore a pair of sunglasses and walked out of the airport corridor side by side.

Concubine Liu Yi was a little excited. In the past, she was either accompanied by her mother or Chu Xuan, but this time she traveled alone, which made her feel a sense of independence that she had never had before.

Also a little bit at a loss, without the help of the team, she has to handle the travel by herself.

I was also a little nervous, everything was relatively unfamiliar in this city where I hadn't been to many times.

There are also expectations and hesitation, and I don't know whether the communication with Jack's parents will be smooth.

Her thoughts were a little confused for a while, but she still had to learn to be strong. After calming down her mind, she followed Erlande to the street entrance on the right, where Jack was waiting for them in a car.

"Hi!" Jack's voice came from the street.

Concubine Liu Yi, Ireland, and Caitlin turned around, put their luggage in the trunk, got into their cars and headed for the hotel.

My aunt and uncle are in Los Angeles, but Concubine Liu Yi doesn't plan to live at my aunt's house, and she didn't even tell her about coming to Los Angeles.

In case my aunt knows that she is coming alone, she will definitely worry about her in every aspect, and it will inevitably be another meal of concern and nagging.

Jack drove the car into a hotel park. There seemed to be a lot of people here, all kinds of people, and their clothes were either rich or expensive.

Concubine Liu Yi saw everything outside through the car window. It seemed that this hotel was not for ordinary people. Seeing that Jack had just entered the gate of the park and had to show some kind of card for confirmation before letting him go, she knew that this hotel was not ordinary.

"This is one of the most famous hotels in Los Angeles. It is famous because it is not just a hotel. It is more appropriate to call it a high-end Vanity Fair."

"Many celebrities will come to stay here, because there are many directors, producers and other figures here, and there are also many capitals who will regard this place as a place for chatting and having fun."

After listening to Jack's explanation, Concubine Liu Yi nodded, probably understanding this high-end place.

"Some people here are prey, waiting for the selection of capital." Elland added.

Concubine Liu Yi glanced out the window, there were several potbellied men with their arms around a woman, the disgust in her eyes flashed away.

But whether you like it or not, everyone else takes what they want, and she is not qualified to judge anything.

Jack also glanced out of the window. He has long been used to this kind of situation, and said disapprovingly: "If you want to be respected, you must be recognized by your strength. This is Los Angeles, and only capital theory."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded silently, and when Jack stopped the car, she opened the door and got out of the car, and followed Jack to the lobby with the suitcase.

Some of the scenes just now made her no desire to stay in this hotel.

But Jack probably chose such an expensive place out of courtesy, and she couldn't refuse.

There were people in the hall in twos and threes, and some people were sitting on the sofa chatting. They were basically in suits and leather shoes, and they were of extraordinary status at first glance.

However, in such a hot weather, wearing a tight suit is obviously to highlight the nobility of the status.

Jack is right, there is no half-hidden Vanity Fair here, and there is a naked smell of money.

Concubine Liu Yi suddenly frowned, and felt the gazes coming from all around. These gazes were novel, but more of a hunting meaning, which made her very disgusted.

She couldn't help but recall that when she and Chu Xuan went to similar occasions in the past, almost no one looked at her with such eyes.

Looking at it now, it was because of Chu Xuan's existence that people with vulgar hearts did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Chu Xuan.

It's just that now that Chu Xuan is gone, and she appears in a strange foreign country by herself, none of these people would dare.

She could only suppress her nausea and followed Jack to the counter.

"Miss Liu?" Suddenly a voice came from the side.

The words were in Chinese, which was clearly heard by Concubine Liu Yi, and she couldn't help turning her head to look.

There were three people not far away, and the middle-aged man walking in the middle should be the one calling, but she was a little confused, she didn't know this person at all, so she wasn't sure if he was calling her.

"I'm Qiao Mulin, a shareholder of Xinlang, and I've met Mr. Chu a few times. I didn't expect to meet Ms. Liu here. Has Mr. Chu come?" Mr. Qiao asked gently.

Xinlang's shareholder... Concubine Liu Yi suddenly realized, no wonder she knew her, that's how it was.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw the eyes of people nearby gathered, and she thought that this Mr. Qiao's identity was not simple.

She thought a little bit, and said sweetly: "Chu Xuan is working elsewhere, I'll come here first."

Qiao Mulin nodded, and introduced to the people next to him with a smile: "This is Mr. Chu Xuan's girlfriend, Concubine Liu Yi."

The two foreigners next to him understood, and said why Mr. Qiao suddenly greeted a woman. It turned out that this woman had an unusual identity.

Being able to walk together with Qiao Mulin meant they were in the same circle, and Chu Xuan, the founder of Weiyu, was very clear in their hearts.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello." Concubine Liu Yi shook hands with the two respectively, and after a brief greeting, she watched Mr. Qiao leave.

At this moment, all the disgusting gazes surrounding her disappeared.

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at those vulgar men, and secretly smiled in her heart: "Chu Xuan is really easy to use."

She didn't expect that Chu Xuan's reputation was so high in foreign vanity fairs. It can only be said that he happened to meet Mr. Qiao just now, and he took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of some annoying eyes and made her look differently.

Just look at the waiter at the counter, the attitude of applying for her room card has changed, from friendly to respectful.

Concubine Liu Yi was very emotional, she used to be with Chu Xuan, and it went well wherever she went.

With my mother around, many troubles are also covered up by my mother.

Now that she left her mother and Chu Xuan was not there, she finally let her know what reality is.

It's bloody, boring, but real.

"Chu Xian is really amazing." Ailande said when the group walked into the elevator.

Although he couldn't understand Chinese, he could still hear the pronunciation of Chu Xuan.

The group of capital just now came here obviously because of Chu Xuan, and took advantage of the opportunity to change the way people around looked at Concubine Liu Yi.

Even her boyfriend Jack couldn't do this. Although she didn't want to admit it, it was obvious that Chu Xuan, whom she had never met before, was stronger than her boyfriend.

Jack can understand that the entertainment industry is not at the same level as the Internet industry. Weiyu and Xinlang will be listed on NASDAQ soon. It is normal for Chu Xuan, the founder, to be famous in the Internet circle.

But no matter what, after experiencing the scene just now, Concubine Liu Yi's status in his heart is also higher.

Still the same sentence, in the Los Angeles only capital theory, if you have capital and connections, then you are the king.

"Ding~" The elevator door opened.

Concubine Liu Yi dragged her suitcase and walked out, but just after taking half a step, she stared at the two people waiting for the elevator outside the door.

"Produced by Jiang, directed by Yimou."

"Concubine Liu Yi?"

Outside the elevator were Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou. They didn't expect to meet Concubine Liu Yi here, and they were a little surprised.

"Why, enter Hollywood?" Jiang Zhiqiang joked.

"No, no, I just came to have fun, let's go, goodbye." Concubine Liu Yi took a few steps quickly with the suitcase, and waved her hand back.

The two parties have met but are not familiar with each other, and have never communicated with each other. They are two seniors. She doesn't know what to say, so it's better to go first.

But seeing these two bosses appearing here, and Jiang Zhiqiang is Zhang Yimou's overseas publisher, she can't help but guess, probably for the overseas release of last year's "The Golden Flower" The dock is busy.

Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou smiled slightly. Although it was a coincidence to meet Concubine Liu Yi in a foreign country, they really had nothing to say, and they walked into the elevator.

"The man just now is Macron's young master. Macron has suffered serious losses in two consecutive films. He has been looking for investment recently. It seems that he has been targeted by the bright era." Jiang Zhiqiang has been in Hollywood for many years , can quickly understand all kinds of news.

Meeting Concubine Liu Yi immediately gave him a guess.

"It is very likely that there will be one more domestic entertainment capital with overseas channels, which is not bad. In the future, the domestic distribution market will have one more choice." He added.

"Then Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan are probably here too," Zhang Yimou said.

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, because of some prejudice, they didn't think Concubine Liu Yi came alone.

In the minds of those in the upper echelons of the entertainment circle, an actor is an actor, no matter how popular the wave is, he is still an actor, and his position will always be a passive one. Don't try to change this situation, some people will suppress you.

Without knowing Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, they had a biased perception of Concubine Liu Yi.

It was Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan who made them look at each other.

"Wang Jinhua...Actually, I'm more interested in Chu Xuan." Jiang Zhiqiang said.

Zhang Yimou nodded slightly: "He is a very good actor, has a high performance culture background, and has excellent business talents. Besides, he is not clear about how good he is, what is his standard of conduct, and what is his style of doing things. .”

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, and said: "Wang Jinhua has always been in front of the stage, and this Chu Xuan only showed his actor side. I wonder if the two siblings did this on purpose, so that Chu Xuan was behind the scenes. You don't even know whether the public decision comes from Wang Jinhua or Chu Xuan, so you can't figure it out."

"Let's go." Zhang Yimou shook his head.

What he said had nothing to do with them, and he stopped thinking about it, and walked out of the elevator with Jiang Zhiqiang.

Upstairs, Liu Yifei and Caitlin put away their luggage in the room, while Jack and Erlande came in from the opposite room.

"Sissy, I'll leave now. I still have something to do in the company. I came to see you at dinner time. There are many entertainment and leisure places in this hotel. You can go and have a look." Jack said.

He grabbed Eland's shoulder and said, "Airland treats you."

Erlande blinked at Concubine Liu Yi, and raised the credit card in her hand.

Concubine Liu Yi stroked her hair: "Okay, then don't feel sorry for me spending too much with Ireland."

She made a joke.

"Anything you want." Jack acted very generously, but then changed the topic: "At that time, Iland and I will go to Huaguo to play, and if you and your fiancé come to receive us, we can make up for the cost from Chu Xuan."

He also joked back.

Concubine Liu Yi was startled, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, my fiancé and I warmly welcome you."

There is no such thing as talking about things right away when you arrive in a place. This is the case in China, and it is the same in the United States.

You have to entertain first, and then talk about business.

Jack entertained Concubine Liu Yi today, and Concubine Liu Yi went to Jack's house to talk about things tomorrow.

This is also good for Concubine Liu Yi, you can relax and relax first, in order to spend a pleasant afternoon and evening time.

"Sissy, Caitlin, let's go, I'll show you around." Jack left, and Erlande cordially invited him.

"Let's go." Liu Yifei and Caitlin walked out the door. (end of this chapter)
