Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 594 New Friends
In Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, there is a single-family villa that looks like an apartment.

It doesn't occupy much space, just about 20 square meters, but the height of the floors is very high, nearly [-] meters on the fifth or sixth floor.

This is Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin's new house, specially prepared for their wedding.

On the first floor of the villa, Cai Shaofen's and Zhang Jin's friends, their parents and other immediate relatives were sitting around the sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa, or standing by the side, or a few people gathered around, chatting and listening.

"How did you know Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei after being beaten?" It was Zhu Ying who asked the question.

Zhu Ying and Cai Shaofen got acquainted in "Westward Journey", one played the role of Zixia Fairy, and the other played the role of Princess Iron Fan. The friendship formed by the show continues to this day.

Whenever Zhu Ying's works are released, Cai Shaofen will always give public support immediately.

After Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin's romance became public, Zhu Ying was the first to stand up and support them among the public opinions promoted by the media.

In the entertainment industry, they can openly support each other whether it is publicity or public opinion. The two of them can be said to have a deep love for each other, and this friendship is also enviable.

Zhu Ying was invited home by Cai Shaofen today, and it was the first time she heard that the best man and bridesmaid were Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

She was doubtful because she had never heard that Cai Shaofen had any friendship with these two people before.

"Baiba went to mainland China to star in "The Legend of Zhen Huan," a drama produced by Bright Times Company. Chu Xuan was the boss of this company. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also filmed a drama at the same time. They were in Hengcheng together with Baida. It was at this time that It's just fun." Chen Ferong said, telling Zhu Ying what she roughly knew to help clear up Zhu Ying's confusion.

Chen Ferong, Cai Shaofen, and Zhang Jin met in "Water Moon Cave". From beginning to end, they witnessed the whole process of two people from acquaintance to falling in love and now about to get married.

Chen Ferong suffered a serious emotional injury. She devoted herself wholeheartedly in a previous relationship, but she got very bad results.

As a result, Chen Ferong no longer believes in love. Now she is 40 years old and still single, living alone in Xiangjiang.

Seeing that she was lonely, Cai Shaofen simply built the villa next to the community where Chen Ferong lived.

According to Cai Shaofen's words: "Seeing that you are so lonely, then I will be your neighbor and accompany you for the rest of your life."

With this sentence alone, there is no need to say more about the friendship between the two sisters.

"Some time ago, I traveled to the United States with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei." Hong Xin said, Zhu Ying and Chen Farong nodded. They also knew about this. Cai Shaofen shared the joy with them during the trip.

Hong Xin and Cai Shaofen got acquainted in "Yuan Zhen Xia", and they have been dating since they had similar personalities.

When Hong Xin's career was in the doldrums, Cai Shaofen gave Hong Xin a lot of help and companionship, and the two were also good sisters who talked about everything publicly in the Hong Kong media.

"Didn't Benda and Brother Jin set up a company in the capital a few days ago? I heard that Chu Xuan was going to take them to invest, so we have a good relationship." Zhang Danfeng took a drink from the water cup and said.

Zhang Danfeng and Hong Xin are lovers. The two met in "I Do", and they fell in love because of the drama.

Because of the relationship between Hong Xin and Cai Shaofen, they became familiar with each other and became close friends.

Zhang Danfeng and Hong Xin, and Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen, have very similar emotions.

None of the men have a good reputation, and each of the women is better than the last.

It's just that Hong Xin's popularity in Xiangjiang is not as good as Cai Shaofen's, so after their relationship was made public, most media outlets automatically focused on Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen.

To a certain extent, Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin blocked the bullets of Hong Xin and Zhang Danfeng.

"I go back to school every year to see the teachers, and I can hear good reviews of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. Especially Chu Xuan, who also pioneered an acting theory. Such people are not bad if you think about it." Yu Bo said.

Yu Bo, Cai Shaofen, Zhang Jin, and Chen Ferong also met in "Water Moon Cave". The friendship between the four continues to this day. Yu Bo and Zhang Jin can also be regarded as close buddies.

Yu Bo was admitted to Beijing Film Academy in 99. Judging from the time, he can also be called the senior brother of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

"The beaten friend is definitely not bad. Let's see if we have a bad friend?" Huang Guanzhong said, and everyone burst into laughter.

Huang Guanzhong and Zhu Ying are lovers. They were former Beyong guitarists and are now Beyong's lead singers.

Even if Beyong's glory is gone, many people will always remember this positive band in their hearts.

Huang Guanzhong is a very low-key person, and he also said that even if no one listens to Beyong anymore, he will continue to sing for the rest of his life.

"I also thought about it. Baida and Zhang went to the mainland, met such two powerful friends, and were able to call Chenglong to support them. This is their blessing." Cai Shaofen's parents were very emotional.

A few years ago, I filmed the movie "Water Moon Cave" and my daughter fell in love.

It was originally a good thing, but seeing that Zhang Jin's career was not improving and was far from that of their daughter, they were not satisfied with the relationship at first.

The media has also been picking on the rumors and ridiculing him for several consecutive years. Audiences, including those who like his daughter, also collectively clamored, calling Zhang Jin a soft rice and a phoenix man, and asked Zhang Jin to get out of the house quickly.

This is not at all welcome.

Under heavy pressure, their families became less optimistic about this relationship.

Little did he know that his daughter was a bit unfaithful. When neither her family nor the outside world was optimistic about her, she publicly stated that she wanted to marry Zhang Jin, and she would not marry anyone other than him.

What to do?I can only do it under pressure.

Unexpectedly, the daughter and son-in-law went to the mainland and made two young friends, which seemed to bring about some changes in this originally unpopular marriage.

This was unexpected, but also made them feel very happy.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I believe they will be better in the future." Zhang Jin's parents said.

They are from Jiangcheng in northern Hunan, and they are fellow villagers of Liu Yifei.

They really didn't expect that their son was also very good. He learned martial arts at a young age and then went to Hong Kong to develop his career. Before his career took off, he found a wife who was an actress.

When they heard the news, the old couple were stunned.

Then Dad Zhang sighed: "My son's charm is the same as that of my old man."

Zhang Ma gave him a blank look.

It is a happy event to have a daughter-in-law.

However, various unfavorable voices came, which made them stressed again.

Moreover, the current marriage also gave them a blow.

Logically speaking, when a man and a woman get married, the wedding should be held in the city where the man lives. This is also a normal custom.

But Cai Shaofen's family is very strong and believes that their daughter is better than their son, so the wedding should be held in Xiangjiang.

This time, the Zhang family lost face, and the voices of some marriages, all supported by the woman, made them feel very uncomfortable.

But his son's situation is no better than others, and he truly loves Cai Shaofen and doesn't pay much attention to such miscellaneous things.

They had no choice but to let it go, but the discomfort in their hearts still existed.

But he never expected that his son would meet two very good young people, and they were also extremely popular stars.

There are not many reports on Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in Xiangjiang, but there are a lot of reports on these two people in the mainland newspaper media and relevant TV channels.

Even the old couple who are not star-chasing know the popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and have watched their dramas.

When the son sent back the news that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were the best man and bridesmaid, the old couple also made a special trip to learn more about Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

Seeing that Concubine Liu Yi is a fellow villager, they also feel that they are destined.

And when they found some information about Chu Xuan's past, they were even more shocked.

There is a sister who is known as a legend. She conspired to build a website and sold it for one billion. Now she is worth a lot of money. She also created an academic performance theory in her early 20s. She is also planning to take her son to develop his career. I just heard about it. The phone call said that Chenglong was invited to support his son...

These circumstances made the old couple feel relieved a little, and at the same time the resentment in their hearts also dissipated a little.

Indeed, as my in-laws said just now, it is indeed a blessing for the couple to have such friends.

There was a "click" and the sound of the door opening.

"Here we come." Hong Xin looked at the entrance hall, and Zhu Ying, Chen Ferong and others also looked over.

Cai Shaofen opened the door, walked a few steps inside, and looked at everyone in the living room: "The best man and bridesmaid are here, welcome."

Hong Xin, Zhu Ying, and Chen Farong stood up and walked over, warmly welcoming these two friends who had never met before but thought that they might become friends in the future under Cai Shaofen's friendship.

"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, hello." They came over.

"Hello everyone, I have long admired my name." Chu Xuan greeted back.

"We have long admired your name." Hong Xin said with a smile.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi looked down for a few times, as if they were looking for slippers.

Zhang Jin from behind said: "No need to take off your shoes. The house will be decorated starting tomorrow. It will be messy anyway, so there is no need to take off."

"You don't need to take off your shoes, come quickly." Cai Shaofen waved, ready to introduce friends to them.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked forward. Cai Shaofen took Concubine Liu's hand and introduced Hong Xin: "This is Hong Xin. I met her in the crew of "Yuan Zhen Xia" in 93. It has been 14 years now. She was just an inconspicuous little character at that time, but she is a real big star, the heroine of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Hong Xin felt embarrassed and shook her head: "Don't be so awesome. I'm not as good as you now."

"Hello." Hong Xin shook hands with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei respectively.

"Hello, sister Hong Xin." Chu Xuan greeted Concubine Liu Yi.

On the way here, Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin introduced them in advance, and they probably knew something about their friends.

This is the first time Hong Xin and the others have met. If you know the Hong Kong entertainment industry, you know how popular Hong Xin was in the 90s.

They feel that Hong Xin and Guan Zhiling are of the same type, giving people a very pure feeling.

Cai Shaofen introduced Chen Ferong, saying: "She is Chen Ferong, Su Xin from "The Best in the World", Yin Tianxue from "Water Moon Cave", there were many costume roles in the past, she is a proper costume goddess! We met in "Water Moon Cave" of."

"I dare not call you a goddess. My appearance is old now." Chen Ferong spoke very gently and extended her hand very gracefully: "Hello, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Sister Chen, you are so beautiful." Liu Yifei praised her and shook hands with her.Chen Ferong, who was born in 66, is more than ten years older than Cai Shaofen and nearly 20 years older than her.

This is the first time she has met Chen Ferong in person, and she feels... very similar to her mother's temperament, with equal emphasis on elegance and gentleness, and a good temperament.

"Beautiful." Cai Shaofen took the opportunity to say: "In the future, if there is a role that gives me a chance for Sister Chen, she should be seen by more people."

"You..." Chen Ferong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was very embarrassing for this person to say this just after he arrived and was beaten when they first met.

But she also knows that this is the character of being beaten. She is very straightforward and can't hide her secrets in front of her friends.

And being beaten can openly express this idea without fear of embarrassment for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. This undoubtedly shows that the friendship between the two parties is really good, otherwise the beating would not be so direct.

"If there is a role, I must cooperate with Sister Chen." Chu Xuan and Chen Farong shook hands.

Many good actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are supporting roles on TV or on the screen and thus are not discovered and paid attention to by the audience.

For example, Teacher Yu Li, who played Yao Yue in "The Two Prides", collaborated with him and Liu Yifei in "Legend of Red Flame".

The Chen Ferong in front of him gave him similar impressions to Yu Li, with first-rate acting skills and excellent temperament, but not very popular.

The biggest characteristic of such an actor is that he has a full sense of life and gives people a strong sense of involvement when acting.

What he said was not polite, but if there is a chance, we can really cooperate.

"Then thank you for looking up to me." Chen Ferong said softly.

Cai Shaofen came to Zhu Ying and introduced: "This is Zhu Ying, the Zixia fairy in "A Chinese Journey to the West". We also met in this movie."

"Hello, Sister Immortal." Zhu Ying said friendlyly.

"You are the fairy sister." Liu Yifei shook hands with her: "Sister Zhu Ying's Zixia Fairy is so beautiful. Your tears will make people heartbroken."

"Westward Journey" made Zhu Ying's career a success, and Zhu Ying can be considered a success in this movie.

Many people say that except for Zhu Ying's impression, no actor can express the spiritual core of this movie so appropriately and completely.

"Hello, I'm very touched to see you." Chu Xuan and Huang Guanzhong shook hands, and Chu Xuan hugged him excitedly.

Beyong's music was a symbol of the times in the 90s and [-]s. In a music world where everyone sings about sorrow in order to resonate, only Beyong's songs inspire people and encourage each other.

At that time, some people also said that Michael Jackson was spreading love and peace overseas, and Beyond in China was inspiring people and leading people forward.

This band has epoch-making significance and sentiment.

"Hello, Senior Brother Yu Bo." Liu Yifei greeted Yu Bo.

"Hello, I asked you to call me Junior Brother and Junior Sister. I'm glad to meet you." Yu Bo said.

"What does Tuoda mean? We are junior brothers and sisters. I hope to cooperate with senior brother if I have the opportunity in the future." Chu Xuan shook hands with Yu Bo.

Zhang Danfeng came over: "Hello, I am Zhang Danfeng."

"Hello, nice to meet you." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei greeted each other and shook hands respectively.

After greeting new friends, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi greeted their families after being introduced by Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin.

"Hello, uncles and aunts."

"Hello, hello, come and sit."

Zhang's father Zhang Ma and Cai's father and Cai mother waved with enthusiasm.

For Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, the existence of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei made their son more proud, and they were also pleased that their son could make such friends.

For Cai's father and Cai's mother, their daughter's career is booming and they may not need the help of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, but Zhang Jin is considered a half-child. Because Zhang Jin makes the outside world not optimistic about their marriage, they are also worried.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's help to Zhang Jin also supported their family, and these two capable young people also helped their daughter and son-in-law develop their careers, not to mention how grateful they were to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

"I'm going to trouble you this time. It's a bit complicated, so please bear with me." Cai's mother said.

"Auntie, you're welcome. We are very good friends with Beida and Zhang Jin, so we should help." Liu Yifei said.

Chu Xuan sat next to him and nodded. It was okay to face new friends of the same generation, but he was a little nervous facing elders he didn't know.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of elders. In addition to both parents, there are a lot of people looking at them with bright eyes, which makes them very uncomfortable.

Cai Shaofen saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's discomfort, waved her hands and said: "Those of you who are cooking and chatting should go upstairs. Those who are discussing marriage can find a place to talk. We occupy this place."

As soon as the words fell, everyone watched as the family members of the two families stood up and gave up their seats. They greeted them a few words and then dispersed.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi went to Cai Shaofen's house for the first time, and it was also the first time to witness Cai Shaofen's family status. It is true that she is the eldest sister.

Liu Yifei held back her laughter and gave Cai Shaofen a thumbs up.

Cai Shaofen raised her eyebrows, looking like she was a queen, and sat down on the sofa next to her.

Zhang Jin took out two wedding process books from the side and handed them to the two of them: "This is the process. Even if we delete or add some things, the direction of the entire process will not change. Take a look at it when you have time."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took the process book and opened it to read.

"What do we need to do specifically?" Liu Yifei asked. The process book only contained the process and did not mention what the best man and bridesmaid should do.

"Participate in every process and remind us of the time..." Zhang Jin paused mid-sentence, slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly: "I can't explain clearly, let the master of ceremonies explain it in a few days."

"For me, it's very simple." Hong Xin had a clear mind and answered the doubts of the two: "On the day of the wedding, start with the reception in the morning."

"What time do you set off, how many red envelopes are prepared, how much money is in the red envelopes, let the team control the speed of the car, and make sure to arrive at the beaten mother's house at what time, this is Chu Xuan, you have to remind and do it."

"Concubine Yi, keep in communication with Chu Xuan at all times, and then know what time it is to put on makeup and change clothes. When the time comes, you will be reminded to put on makeup and change clothes when you are beaten. At the same time, you must also think of a few small games to embarrass the man."

"After passing the game, the men and women meet and take the woman home. The men and women are preparing at home. You have to go to the hotel in advance to communicate with the master of ceremonies and arrange the time for the process."

"After the man and woman come to the hotel, you must stay with the man and woman at all times. Some situations must be handled in a timely manner and ensure that each process is at the corresponding time point. If you need help, please contact us in time and we will come to help. .”

"Yes, yes, that's it." Cai Shaofen nodded repeatedly.

"That means..." Liu Yifei looked at her friends and said, "We are the bridesmaids and groomsmen group?"

"No." Zhang Danfeng shook his head: "There are only two of you as the best man and bridesmaid, and only you can go on stage with them and cooperate with the master of ceremonies and so on. We are relatives and friends here to help, but it can also be understood that we are the best men. Group and bridesmaid group.”

Zhu Ying said: "To put it simply, if you have nothing to do, we will be busy with our own business, such as greeting guests, ushering guests in, etc. If you have something to call us, we will come to help you."

"I understand." Liu Yifei nodded to express her understanding.

"You still want to host on stage?" Chu Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a link.

"If I'm not hosting, I just cooperate with the emcee and say something to heighten the atmosphere." Zhu Ying said.

"That's good." Chu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, not because he was afraid of hosting, but mainly because he was afraid of running out of time. After all, he and Concubine Liu Yi still had to go to training, and hosting such a cumbersome thing would definitely take a lot of time to prepare.

"I suddenly thought of something." Zhang Danfeng said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him, but Zhang Danfeng looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and said: "You are going to the stage. You are the best man and bridesmaid, and your clothes are similar to wedding clothes. When the media spreads your pictures to the mainland, it will probably take another On trending searches.”

He is a mainland actor, and he knows better than people like Zhu Ying how popular Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are in mainland China, and their fans are basically CP fans who wish to see the two get married soon.

When Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came on stage wearing dresses similar to wedding clothes, he could only imagine what the hot news would be, and he could also imagine that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's fans would most likely urge them to get married.

Hearing what he said, Cai Shaofen, Zhang Jin, and Zhu Ying also had a sense of the picture, and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei with playful eyes.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were also looking forward to it. One of the reasons why they came to be the best man and bridesmaid was to experience the experience and feeling of witnessing every aspect of the wedding.

"They are just here to familiarize themselves with the process. I guess good things will come soon." Cai Shaofen said cheerfully.

Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan looked at her: "What are you doing?"

"Is it coming soon?" Concubine Liu Yi blinked.

Chu Xuan didn't look at her, looked down at the process text, and said, "Guess."

Liu Yifei turned her head back and ignored Chu Xuan.

When friends saw this scene, they all had smiles on their faces. The young couple dared to express this publicly. The rumors in the print media and online media were true. The relationship between the two was really good.

"If Chu Xuan said that, I think it will be soon." Hong Xin seemed to have seen through Chu Xuan's heart and spoke about this.

"I think so too." Zhu Ying agreed and joked: "Otherwise, under normal circumstances, when men face this kind of problem, they basically..."

She imitated the tone of the man in her heart, and waved her hands exaggeratedly: "Don't be in a hurry, why are you in such a hurry, it's not good to get married early, it's easy to cause problems, I'm not ready yet, give me some time..."

After finishing speaking, she squinted at Huang Guanzhong, and even rolled her eyes.

"Hahaha..." Seeing her little expression, everyone understood who she was talking about, and burst into laughter.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei felt a lot of fun. As expected, people who could hang out with Cai Shaofen were interesting souls. They never expected that the legendary Fairy Zixia could be so cute in private.

Huang Guanzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wiped his face to cover up his embarrassment.

While everyone was chatting, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi also had a pleasant exchange with these new friends.

After learning the details of the wedding from them, it was soon time for dinner.

Cai's father and Cai's mother came out with the dishes. Seeing a group of people chatting happily, they greeted with a comfortable smile: "It's time to eat."

"Eat, eat." Cai Shaofen greeted.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and their friends stood up from the sofa and walked to the restaurant.
