Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 741 My only one

The New Year's Eve dinner at three o'clock in the afternoon was something that no one present had ever experienced before. However, the whole family didn't care whether the meal was early or late. Being able to get together was the current theme of New Year's Eve.

It happened that Chu Xuan came here to catch a flight and didn't eat lunch. Grandma knew that the New Year's Eve dinner was in advance and didn't eat lunch. This reunion dinner can be regarded as having lunch and dinner together.

"Don't drink yet. We'll drive Sissi to her dad's house later and drink when we get back." Zhou Wenqiong arranged the wine table in front of her with a wine dispenser. She was pouring Baiyun, a good wine produced in Wuhan, next to her. Wine, and said something to my daughter by the way.

"Okay." My cousin agreed.

"I feel sorry for you." Liu Yifei said half-jokingly and half-apologising.

The cousin didn't care, and waved her hand: "Just wait until you have drunk enough, and I will kill you in hindsight."

"Ha." Zhou Wenqiong attacked his daughter mercilessly: "Whoever you want to kill with your small drinking capacity is so precious."

Everyone sat down with a smile, and the interesting scene between the mother and daughter added a cheerful atmosphere to the New Year's Eve reunion.

"Xiaoxuan, Jinhua, Zhihua, Zijian, this is what my son and his wife cook. We will eat whatever is good or not. We just want to have a family reunion today." Grandma said.

"Looking at the large quantity, the craftsmanship may be a bit poor, and it may not be to your taste. Please bear with me." My uncle also said the same.

"The main thing is to celebrate the Chinese New Year together. I don't care whether the food is delicious or not." My aunt said with a smile.

Faced with the modesty and traditional reserved family style of this family, Wang Jinhua shook his head repeatedly: "We have already troubled you when we came here, and we are still talking about whether it is delicious or not. It is a great honor to have a few more pairs of chopsticks."

Dong Zhihua nodded slightly: "At first glance, this dish is full of color, flavor and flavor. No matter how bad it is, it is still at the level of a chef."

Chu Xuan took a wine dispenser and a small wine glass from Zhou Wenqiong's hand. After placing the wine dispenser and the small wine glass on the table, he said: "We will be a family soon. Listen to your business nonsense." ,so awkward."

Grandma, uncle and aunt were startled, and Wang Jinhua and Dong Zhihua were also stunned.

"Hahaha..." Immediately everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Xiaoli showed her face and said: "Xiaoxuan is right, both sides are family members, and they are so polite, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, feeling the same way.

"You're welcome." Grandma picked up the tea cup and looked at Chu Xuan and the others: "Come, we welcome Xiaoxuan, Jinhua, Zhihua and Zijian. We welcome you to celebrate the New Year. This year is very lively."

"Welcome~" Zhou Wenqiong and the others raised their glasses.

"Thank you, auntie, for your warm hospitality." Representative Wang Jinhua spoke, toasting with Chu Xuan and Dong Zhihua, while Dong Zijian drank milk.

Everyone drank the first glass of wine together, and the reunion dinner began.

After eating food for a while and chatting about home affairs, grandma brought the topic to the main topic: "Xiaoli, if you want to hold a wedding in a place with good weather all year round like Xiamen and Shenzhen, as you said, do you have any idea? Have you decided on a certain amount, or should we discuss it with Ankang and the others?"

Liu Xiaoli took an egg dumpling and looked at the couple next to her: "What do you think? Do you have any ideas?"

The long-term plan she made for the couple was just a general direction. The couple recognized this general direction, and the specific matters depended on their own choices.

However, she has a preference for the city in her heart, that is Shenzhen, but she doesn't know what the couple thinks about it.

Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other, and she said to Chu Xuan: "How about Shenzhen?"

Chu Xuan nodded: "Okay, I happen to be going to Shenzhen to film a movie. I can take advantage of the break to see if there are any good properties on the spot."

Liu Yifei blinked: "I think so too."

Apart from being familiar with the capital, the couple was unfamiliar with other cities and had no precise mental assessment of where to buy a house and hold a wedding.

Based on the basic principle that Liu Xiaoli said that all seasons are like spring, Shenzhen, where the filming of "Star You" is about to start, fits this principle exactly.

The couple had a tacit understanding and thought of going together. It would save time and effort if they could arrange the wedding room in Shenzhen during the few months of filming.

Not only did the couple think so, but Liu Xiaoli also had the same idea as the couple: "What a coincidence, I think the same way."

The family of three looked at each other, and their unanimous thoughts made them each smile slightly.

Liu Xiaoli happened to be co-starring with her daughter and son-in-law in "Star You". She didn't have much of a supporting role. Her daughter and son-in-law were busy with their affairs on the set, while she could take time to check out the house.

This is also the reason why she prefers Shenzhen. Now it seems that the couple has no differences with her ideas, so she knows better.

"Shenzhen is good. I heard it is getting more and more developed." Seeing that the family of three had reached a consensus, grandma agreed and expressed her support.

The old man doesn't care where the wedding is, he just hopes that the marriage will be settled soon. The most important thing for the old man is to give him the hope of having a great-grandchild.

"Shenzhen is good, it's a good place." Wang Jinhua also agreed.

She and Dong Zhihua only came to discuss the marriage on behalf of Chu Xuan. The specific matters of the marriage must be decided by the family of three. As long as there are no obvious deviations in any decision made by the family of three, she will naturally choose to support it and will make these decisions with An Jia tomorrow. Talk to people who settle down.

"It's true, it's almost becoming an international metropolis." Zhou Wenqiong took a mouthful of carrot shreds and ate them.

Regarding the marriage between Qian Qian and Chu Xuan, she, her husband, eldest brother and sister-in-law looked at it from the woman's point of view. With her sister Liu Xiaoli's responsible attitude towards Qian Qian, they didn't have to worry about making any decisions. They were in charge of this matter. The most I can say is condiments.

"Here, the second glass." The uncle raised his glass. The first glass of wine was initiated by the old lady, grandma. As the eldest son of the grandmother, he initiated the second glass of wine on behalf of the whole family: "Happy New Year's Eve, Xiaoxuan and Qian Everything is going well and getting better for Akane."

"Happy New Year's Eve." Everyone celebrated with glasses of wine.

"Thank you, uncle." Facing their uncle's blessing, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei expressed their gratitude.

After the second glass of wine, everyone put down their glasses.

The uncle picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and asked, "Sister, what's the wedding date of Xiaoxuan and Qianqian? Do you have any plans?"

Liu Xiaoli took a bite of potato, put her chopsticks on the bowl of noodles, glanced at the couple and said, "I'm still confused about the wedding date."

She looked at Wang Jinhua: "I've talked to Jinhua about this before. My current plan is to let them get the marriage certificate first, then get the certificate taken away during the first month of the year, and then..."

She paused for a moment, then looked at the couple again, with a joking smile on her face: "Do you have any thoughts on the matter of testifying?"

Liu Xiaoli obviously did it on purpose. She mentioned this matter at home. At that time, the couple was excited but duplicity and let Liu Xiaoli make the decision.

Now Liu Xiaoli is asking the couple for their opinions on this matter in front of everyone, obviously making fun of them.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, each a little embarrassed.

"That's it." Chu Xuan took a spoon and scooped out chicken soup.

Liu Yifei lowered her head to eat, and when she heard Chu Xuan replying two words so lightly, and her tone was calm and gentle, as if he didn't take it seriously, she raised her head and looked directly at Chu Xuan, with a chill in her tone: "So perfunctory?"

The family members all laughed and watched the interesting scene of the couple with interest.

Chu Xuan scooped up a ladle of soup, took the bowl back and put it on the table. He looked at Liu Yifei and looked at her aggrieved eyes. Chu Xuan held her hand under the table and rubbed it to comfort her.

"Humph." Liu Yifei felt the warmth on her hands and hummed before giving up.

She could see Chu Xuan's nervousness, uneasiness, expectation, longing and other complex emotions, and Chu Xuan didn't know how to express them for a moment.

In fact, she was also flustered and embarrassed. She was about to become a real couple with Chu Xuan. Is it as many people said that married life is the beginning of the tomb of love? She and Chu Xuan had never experienced it before, and neither of them felt confident.

But she also has yearnings and desires. With her and Chu Xuan's deep emotional foundation and common career goals, she believes in the saying that husband and wife work together to achieve the best results, which makes their relationship better from then on.

Liu Xiaoli joked about the couple and then continued her topic: "After getting the certificate, I will immediately go through the procedures for Sissi to apply for returning her nationality. This is also the reason why Jinhua and I discussed before that we should get the certificate after getting engaged. It is more reliable to go to the police to apply for a change of nationality with your marriage certificate, and it is more appropriate to hold the wedding after the nationality has been changed."

Wang Jinhua and Dong Zhihua nodded. This was a situation that Liu Xiaoli had discussed at their home some time ago.

Liu Xiaoli has talked about Sissi's change of nationality several times in the past few years.

Judging from Sissi's personal situation, I have heard from many sources that it would be difficult to change her nationality back. The specific difficulties are not clear. The country has no specific public standards for changing her nationality.

As for Chu Xuan's situation, there used to be only the achievement of the founder of Micro Entertainment, but in recent years there have been the achievements of the founder of Longyou, and the achievement of the academic pioneer of the three-act theory used in experimental teaching by Beijing Theater School. , is the decision-maker of the increasingly growing Bright Times Group, and is engaged in film and television industrialization with Han Sanping, a division-level leader.

The value of these achievements and careers is difficult for outsiders to evaluate, but in the eyes of senior people in related fields, they have their own quantification.

As Chu Xuan's achievements get higher and higher, the difficulty of passing the review will be reduced if Qianqian and Chu Xuan get the certificate before applying to change their nationality.

Of course, no one is sure whether it will work out, but it seems easier for the couple to do it after getting the certificate and registration, which is based on facts.

Now that the couple was talking about getting married, Liu Xiaoli also waited for this day and made a plan for Sissi to get proof of their engagement and immediately apply to change her nationality.

"Oh~" Zhou Wenqiong and other family members also understood. Back then, Liu Xiaoli changed the nationality for Sissi so that it would be easier for Sissi to study. Now that times have changed and she wants to change her nationality back, she always feels like she shot herself in the foot.

But the past involves many old bad things, and there is no need to mention them if they are unclear now. There is no point in talking about them anymore.

All her family members need to know is the current situation. Applying for a change of nationality does not take a day or two, but will take a long time. Because she does not know if or when she can change her nationality, Liu Xiaoli is undecided about the wedding date. .

To them, that's the whole point.

However, according to Liu Xiaoli's intention, if the nationality is changed back before the wedding is held, then if the nationality is not changed back then the wedding will not be held?

Grandma commented on this matter: "I won't mention whether my nationality can be changed or not, and how long it will take to get it back after passing the review, but we can't decide the wedding date just because of this matter."

"Of course I know this." Liu Xiaoli knew it well and explained to everyone: "First of all, they are engaged in the industrialization of film and television, which involves all aspects of the industry and some high-level figures. For such a big undertaking, the issue of Sissi's nationality will be magnified."

"Secondly, with Sissi's current influence and ability in industrialization, she is not outstanding in the world. It will not be difficult to apply for renunciation of nationality in the United States. Wait until Sissi excels and then renounce her nationality. , then the United States will not let him go easily."

"Ah." My aunt said in surprise: "Can I withdraw my nationality without releasing him?"

"That's for sure." Chu Xuan said: "If the United States does not release her and does not sign, which is legal and compliant under international law, then Sissi will never be able to return to Chinese nationality."

"That's it." Auntie became more knowledgeable.

"Normally not." Zhou Wenqiong said: "But if, as my sister said, industrialization is such a big undertaking, and Sissi has shown strong ability to renounce her nationality under such circumstances, then the United States will really not let her go. This kind of thing happens a lot in the United States, and many talented people from all over the world cannot return to their original countries."

Liu Xiaoli nodded and said: "Thirdly, some people on the Internet always talk about Sissi's nationality. Changing the nationality back and then planning the wedding can be considered as blocking the mouths of these people. Many of Sissi's fans don't say anything. But I also have hope for nationality, which can also take care of the hearts of the audience who like Sissi."

There are always people on the Internet talking about Sissi's nationality, which has somewhat affected a group of viewers' perceptions of Sissi over the years.

Qian Qian and Chu Xuan didn't care much, but as a mother, she was upset. If the nationality couldn't be transferred back, she would have endured it. Now that she had the opportunity to transfer the nationality back, of course she had to change this for her daughter. situation.

In addition, many viewers who like Sissi are also looking forward to this event. Changing the nationality back and then having the wedding will make viewers who like Chu Xuan and Sissi feel more comfortable.

Liu Xiaoli continued: "It would be best if I can withdraw my American citizenship and change my citizenship back to China this year, and then we can arrange the marriage, and my equity holdings will be completely handed over to Sissi. Regardless of the company and the business and network involved, for those who value nationality Some people who have problems can calm their minds."

Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua ate in silence. What Liu Xiaoli said meant something, and they knew it in their hearts.

Such a large group has many members. If Sissi is just an actress, then forget it.

But Sissi is the boss's wife, and this boss's wife is American. It is impossible to say that everyone has no opinions on this.

Liu Xiaoli climbed up and looked far away in the chairman's office every day. She was more or less aware of some people's private discussions, so she became more and more concerned about Sissi's change of nationality.

"Hey, essence." Liu Yifei picked up a goose wing and gave it to Chu Xuan's bowl.

She also had a great desire to change her nationality back. After all, with the grand ideals she and Chu Xuan had described, her nationality destined her to be unable to develop in many things in the future.

She also knew that this matter could not be achieved by her short-term efforts, and she could only hope that her mother's plan could be successfully completed.

"There is another reason, which is my personal wish." Liu Xiaoli looked at the couple and smiled softly: "I hope to hold a Chinese-style wedding for you, not the usual Chinese style, but the ancient Chinese style of carrying a sedan chair."

The family members became happy and looked at the couple with interest.

"This is good, this is good, Sissi and her brother-in-law's costumes look great!" My cousin clapped her hands with interest, expressing her strong support.

Whether it's Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, or Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv, regardless of other factors, almost no one on the Internet can say anything bad about the appearance of ancient costumes.

She is also a fan of dramas. When she thinks about her sister and her brother-in-law having a wedding in ancient costumes, this scene that is deeply rooted in ancient times and has no sense of violation comes to mind.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. They wanted to see their costume wedding. This was definitely another pleasure for the female devil.

"Auntie, if you don't change your nationality, it won't delay the costume wedding." My cousin said.

"It would be better to change it back." Liu Xiaoli said.

"That's true." My cousin nodded.

Zhou Wenqiong reached out to pick up the food and said: "What we are talking about so far, what can be confirmed, is to get the certificate in the first month, then apply for a change of nationality, and finally get married in Shenzhen. The specific time of the wedding is not yet certain. I suggest meeting An Jia the day after tomorrow on the second day of the new year. Let’s discuss it when we go to see if they understand the situation of changing nationality.”

Regarding the marriage of her daughter and son-in-law, even though Liu Xiaoli didn't want to have too much involvement with the An family, there were some things that she couldn't avoid. When she heard her sister's words, she nodded.

"No matter what the nationality is, the wedding date must be determined the day after tomorrow. Since the parents of both parties have met, and you are busy with your own things, it will be more troublesome in the future if you finally get together and don't discuss the result." Grandma road.

"I'm right, the wedding date is fixed. Everyone knows it well. Then go and do your own thing. When the wedding date comes, everyone will be prepared." Uncle said.

"Yes." Dong Zhihua agreed.

Liu Xiaoli stroked the hair beside her daughter's ear, her eyes filled with emotion and relief that her daughter was about to get married: "No matter what day the wedding is scheduled for, after we return to Beijing in a few days, first I will take you to the consulate to apply for a marriage certificate. , and then complete the procedures for applying for a change of nationality, and then you can film in peace, and I will take care of the follow-up matters, how about it?"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips tightly. Her mother's eyes brought her deep blessings, and her mother's words also gave her full of happiness. She raised her eyebrows mischievously to show her love for her mother, and leaned on her shoulders. She leaned in to show her approval of her mother’s arrangement.

"Where are you, Xiaoxuan?" Liu Xiaoli asked Chu Xuan, her face soft.

"Listen to Auntie." Chu Xuan looked a little shy, but he felt at ease and relieved that his attentive mother-in-law took care of everything.

The recognition from both her daughter and son-in-law made Liu Xiaoli very satisfied. Just when she was about to pick up the wine glass to open the atmosphere for the third glass of wine, she glanced at Chu Xuan but put it down again, and gave Chu Xuan a look: "Xiao Xuan, the third glass of wine Three cups.”

Liu Xiaoli handed over the home court to Chu Xuan, letting Chu Xuan start the atmosphere of this third glass of wine.

Chu Xuan understood what his mother-in-law meant, which was to let him, as her son-in-law, speak at her home court.

He stood up, and instead of taking the small wine glass, he directly picked up the wine dispenser with more than one or two glasses of wine left.

The family members laughed, it was time for a toast.

"This is the second time I have come to my grandma to celebrate the New Year. Four years ago, I came as Sissi's boyfriend. This time, I came as Sissi's fiancé and son-in-law of the Liu family."

Listening to this, the family members also recalled how young Chu Xuan looked when he first came to celebrate the New Year four years ago. Now Chu Xuan is more calm and dignified, which shows his growth and progress in the past few years.

"My status has been promoted, and my relationship with my grandmother, uncle, aunt, aunt, uncle, and cousin has also warmed up."

The family members raised their eyebrows. They had not spent much time with Chu Xuan in the past few years, but they always had a good impression and feeling. Gradually, they labeled Chu Xuan a family member and recognized him as a family member. The presence.

"I haven't met many family members in the past few years, but every time I meet, I don't have the final say whether Sissi is happy, unhappy, or happy. It's you who have the final say, grandma, uncles, aunts, aunts, uncles, and cousins."

"If you think Sissi is happy when she is with me, then I will drink this glass of wine and you will have a small glass."

"If your younger brothers and sisters think that my brother-in-law is good to your sister, Zijian and you think that my brother-in-law is good to your sister-in-law, and cousin you think that my brother-in-law is good to your sister, just take a sip of milk and the red envelope you will receive will be doubled tenfold. ."

Before my cousin could react, several children were excited.

"Brother-in-law! You are so good to your sister! Get married to your sister as soon as possible!"

"Brother-in-law, I wish you a happy marriage!"

"Brother Chu, please give birth to a son soon."

The family members couldn't laugh or cry. It was quite funny that Chu Xuan, who was talking seriously, suddenly had such a festive scene.

"Brother-in-law, you and Sissi are happy!" My cousin reacted and happily sent her blessings.

Chu Xuan raised the wine divider and said: "Sissi and I are about to get engaged and will enter the marriage hall. Sissi is the treasure in your hearts and the only one for me, so please don't worry, elders. I can't guarantee that she will always be there." Happy, but when she is unhappy, I will definitely stay with her until she is happy."

"Ouch." My cousin covered her mouth and laughed. This dog food came unexpectedly.

Everyone in the family also laughed, except Liu Yifei, who arched her eyebrows and blushed a little.

"For your words, I will do it with you!" Liu Xiaoli picked up the wine divider and prepared to drink a large glass with Chu Xuan.

"I'm coming too." Feeling Chu Xuan's favor, Liu Yifei happily picked up the wine dispenser and reminded Chu Xuan: "Remember what you said."

"Then let's do it together. Xiaoxuan is so sincere, we must accompany him." The uncle said.

Just like that, my aunt, aunt, and uncle, together with Wang Jinhua and Dong Zhihua, all picked up the wine dispenser and drank two or two of the three glasses of wine in total. My cousin and a few children also took a big sip of milk to complete the reunion dinner. The warm and warm atmosphere reached the top.
