Chapter 571: Don’t call me sister next year
After the family dinner, Gu Wei wanted to help clear the table, but Liu’s mother stopped him.
"Sissi, you chat with Gu Wei while Aunt Wang and I clean up." Aunt Wang is Liu Yifei's nanny. Although she didn't cook dinner, she also helped in the kitchen when Liu Xiaoli was cooking. , otherwise Liu Xiaoli alone would be too busy to serve such a sumptuous table of dishes.
Liu’s mother came from a privileged background. Although she divorced very early and left Liu Yifei alone, her living conditions were never bad. Naturally, she would not be like an ordinary housewife who cooks every day. She has been surrounded by servants for so many years. Taking care of housework.
"I know, you told Gu Wei not to be polite, but you are still so polite to him." Liu Yifei muttered impatiently.
It's not that she is rude, it's normal for Liu's mother to treat guests with kindness and enthusiasm, but because Liu Xiaoli has always wanted to bring her and Gu Wei together, she has some rebellious psychology.
In Liu Yifei's view, she and Gu Wei are very good friends. Even if they get closer in the future, it is because they get along so well. Her mother's ideas are too snobbish and purposeful, which will make her unhappy. Feeling inferior to others in front of friends.
The idea is a bit naive, but Liu Yifei's smooth experience since childhood has also created this kind of character.
Speaking of which, there are many women who have close relationships with Gu Wei, but each person's unique personality and experience determine their different ways of getting along with him.
Da Mi Mi will never have such naive ideas as Liu Yifei. Her relationship with Gu Wei is largely maintained by interests, and she is eager to get more resources from Gu Wei.
Nazha is another type of person who doesn't care too much about resources and benefits, because she knows that Gu Wei will make arrangements for her, as long as she is obedient.
"Child
Gu Wei, please sit down first, and Auntie will wash some fruits for you." Liu Xiaoli said warmly and turned to the kitchen.
“My aunt is so enthusiastic every time I come here.”
“You are a young and promising son-in-law in her eyes, so of course she is enthusiastic.”
"Oh? What do you think, Sister Yifei?
Do you think so too?"
Gu Wei joked with Liu Yifei with a smile.
"Haha.
Can you clear things up with those 'scandal girlfriends'?" Liu Yifei stared at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, half-smiling.
"Ahem.
Sister Yifei, you already said she is the 'scandal girlfriend', what else can you say?" Gu Wei laughed. He originally wanted to tease Liu Yifei, but he didn't expect that he would be teased by the other party. Fight back.
"Scumbag. I've known what you are like since I met you." Liu Yifei curled her lips.
Gu Wei is the most suitable person she has met over the years. Regardless of all conditions, he meets her criteria for choosing a mate. Even Liu's mother is very supportive.
The two have known each other for so many years, and they know each other well, and their feelings for each other have been gradually deepening.
She has a crush on Gu Wei, and the relationship between the two has the feeling of an unsatisfied lover above AUO.
The year before last while filming [Tang Detective 2], when she learned about the death of her best friend, her feelings were extremely fragile. Gu Wei was by her side to comfort her carefully. At that time, she even had the urge to throw herself directly into his arms.
Unfortunately, after a good sleep, she regained her senses and thought of Gu Wei's playboy style from beginning to end, so she took back the half-step she was about to take, and the two of them became good friends again. relationship.
It’s just that we got closer to each other.
Gu Wei was not angry when he was called a scumbag, he just smiled. This was not the first time Liu Yifei said that about him.
"[Cohabitation in Time and Space] started relatively late. Aren't you going to join the cast in the second half of the year?"
"I'm not as busy as you. I usually shoot one or two movies a year, and then I go on a tour. I will run the brand’s activities
The rest of the time will be spent petting the cat and reading a book at home, so that I won’t be too tired.”
Liu Yifei sat up straight and swayed. head, and tied the hair with a headband again.
Then he leaned back on the sofa, with one leg crossed and the other dangling outside, and his white and tender feet swinging back and forth.
"This is how to enjoy life. I want to do this too, but unfortunately I am too busy at work."
"Why do you make yourself so tired? It would be better if you slow down the pace."
Gu Wei smiled slightly and said nothing.
It is not the time for him to rest yet. It is already 2017, and his foresight will soon expire. By then, whether he is a dragon or a worm will depend entirely on his strength.
Accumulate more capital now and you will be able to go more smoothly in the future.
"Although I don't have to join the crew for filming in the second half of the year, there is indeed one more important thing." Liu Yifei pouted slightly and thought for a while.
“Disney has a blockbuster movie that needs a Chinese actress, and it is currently in the casting stage.
I have already got the opportunity to audition, and I will go to the audition after a period of preparation.
"[Mulan], right?" When Gu Wei heard about Disney, he immediately thought of what kind of movie it was.
“Yes, it is the live-action version of [Mulan], a Hollywood A-level blockbuster. Only movies with special themes like this will find Chinese actresses as the protagonists.
I have been practicing recently to prepare for the audition for this movie! ”
Mentioning [Mulan], Liu Yifei’s eyes widened slightly, with a look of longing.
For all Chinese actresses, this opportunity is that they can get in touch with the best Resources.
"Sister Yifei, there is nothing wrong with you. Regardless of your image or reputation, you are the most suitable candidate for this role.
There are very few actresses of the younger generation who are as good at fighting as you are.”
"Zhang Tianai from your company is also very good at fighting. Most of the roles she plays are very heroic, and she is very suitable for the role of "Mulan".
And now she is much more popular than me"
As the heroine of "Xiuchundao 1", Liu Yifei is also paying attention to "Xiuchundao 2". Of course she has heard of Zhang Tianai's reputation as "cutting off the martial arts dream of domestic entertainment actresses with one sword".
Moreover, [Wolf Warrior 2] is so popular now that Zhang Tianai has been called the number one domestic entertainment actress at the box office by netizens, and her popularity is unparalleled for a while.
In her opinion, the other party is her strong competitor for the role of "Mulan".
Liu Yifei said this with the intention of testing. Gu Wei is Zhang Tianai's boss and must be aware of her work arrangements.
"Zhang Tianai is not good. Although her temperament is suitable, language is a big problem.
And her fame is mainly in China. Few people know her abroad. Currently, the project "Mulan" is not included in the company's plans for her."
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head. Of course he knew what Liu Yifei meant and told her directly.
In fact, the audition for [Mulan] is no secret. Disney has clearly stated the recruitment requirements for actors for the live-action version of [Mulan] on its official website.
First of all, this is an all-English movie, which requires actors to have a certain foundation in English; secondly, they must have martial arts skills; and finally, the image and temperament must be consistent, and Chinese Americans are preferred.
Zhang Tianai's English is at the level of an ordinary college student. He can speak a few simple sentences, but it is incomparable to someone like Liu Yifei who grew up in the United States.
Liu Yifei was relieved to hear what Gu Wei said. If Zhang Tianai did not participate, then she felt that her hope was still very high.
Among the current Chinese female celebrities, the ones who can fight are not as famous as her, and the famous ones do not have martial arts skills. No matter how you look at it, she is the most suitable.
“Gu Wei, come on, let’s eat some fruit.
The grapes and strawberries I bought during the day taste very good."
The two were chatting, and Liu Xiaoli came over with two plates of washed fruits and greeted Gu Wei warmly.
"Thank you, auntie, this grape is so sweet."
"Don't be so polite.
By the way, Gu Wei, can you come over tomorrow? Sissi has been in the capital recently. She It's relatively free. If you have time, you can come and sit here often.
Aren't you going to collaborate on a movie at the end of the year? It's just a good time to communicate in advance."
"Mom~ Why am I fine? I have to practice physical fitness and martial arts recently," Liu Yifei said dissatisfied.
>"It's not like you practice from morning to night, you can still have Gu Wei busy! "
Liu Yifei looked helpless and speechless.
"Auntie, I also have some work matters to deal with when I come back this time. I have finished all my work today and will go back to the team tomorrow. Filming.
I appreciate your kindness, and I will come to see you and Sissi when I have time next time." Gu Wei glanced at Liu Yifei with a smile, and then said to Liu Xiaoli. "You are so anxious"
Gu Wei nodded.
“I asked the crew for three days’ leave and I will go back tomorrow.”
“You are just here to participate in [Wolf Warrior 2]. A celebration party? "Liu Yifei asked casually after eating a grape.
"No, I'm back to deal with some recent company affairs, and I have to attend the financing signing ceremony of [ByteDance]. I was supposed to attend the cocktail party over there tonight, but if Sissi, you call me and say aunt invites me, I'll just take that I pushed him and came right over.”
“You said that because of my pride~”
“It’s mainly because of my aunt’s pride.” Gu Wei added with a smile.
“Didn’t [ByteDance] raise Series D just last year? It’s less than a year ago, right?” Liu Xiaoli’s focus is obviously different from Liu Yifei’s.
“It shouldn’t be so fast. The main reason is that the company is expanding and needs more capital injection.
[ByteDance] has professional people in charge there. I am just a shareholder who doesn’t care. I come back and sign.”
There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Currently [ByteDance] is in the industry It is well-known here. This E-round financing is completed. It is estimated that the financial section of major media will report it tomorrow.
"Isn't it the company that developed [Douyin]? You are still the same software. spokesperson.
I remember last year’s financing valuation was US$12 billion. It’s only been more than half a year. How much can the valuation increase? "Liu Yifei asked curiously.
"It has doubled, this time the financing is 2 billion US dollars, and the post-financing valuation is 26 billion US dollars."
Gu Wei said it in an understatement, but both Liu Yifei and her daughter took a deep breath.
It’s not that they haven’t seen the world before, but the figure of 26 billion US dollars is a bit too exaggerated.
Let’s put it this way, the second place on Forbes China’s richest list in 2017 is Mr. Ma of Alibaba, with a personal wealth worth 188.9 billion, which is basically equivalent to the current valuation of [ByteDance].
Moreover, in just over half a year, the company's valuation has doubled. It is obvious that the future of money is bright, and US$26 billion will not be the end at all.
“This is rising too fast. The valuation increased by 14 billion US dollars in 8 months, with an average increase of 1.75 billion per month, and an increase of 58.3 million US dollars per day, totaling RMB 400 million.”
< br>
"Haha. Sister Yifei, your math is really good." Gu Wei praised with a smile.
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.
“I often watch [Douyin] too. Is this short video software so profitable?”
“That’s not what you think. It’s not just [Douyin], in fact [ByteDance] All current products are not profitable, but for Internet companies, the most important thing is users and traffic. [Douyin] has developed very rapidly, and the number of users has increased sharply in the past six months.
Now it has developed overseas. version [TikTok], it can be said that the future is bright
Capital will not trade at a loss. Every penny they invest now is intended to recover returns several times or even ten times in the future."
After Gu Wei explained, Liu Yifei shook his head.
“I understand what you said, but I still don’t understand why a company that makes short videos is worth so much money.
Compared with those who make the Internet, the money we make from filming seems to be small. It’s nothing”
After dinner, Gu Wei didn’t stay at Liu Yifei’s house for too long. He sat for a while and then said goodbye.
At night, the villa area was very empty, and Liu Yifei sent Gu Wei out.
"Hey~ let me ask you a question." Liu Yifei walked with Gu Wei with her hands behind her back and her feet on her back, looking a little cute.
"What?"
"Why did you call me Sissy when we were chatting just now?" She turned her head and looked at Gu Wei's face.
“Do I have it?”
"Why not?"
Gu Wei scratched his head.
"Even if there is, isn't your nickname just Cici? There shouldn't be any problem with my name."
"Hmph
I'm 5 years older than you. You’ve always called me sister since we met, but now that you’ve become a big star and a big boss, you’ve changed your nickname to me?”
"Doesn't this show that we are close to each other?" Gu Wei's experience was that he could tell Liu Yifei didn't mean what he said as soon as he turned his eyes.
"Right, Sissy"
"You still yelled" Liu Yifei looked a little angry.
"Okay, then I won't shout anymore, Sissy"
Gu Wei left, and Liu Yifei returned home humming a song.
"Gu Wei is gone?" After entering the door, Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and asked.
"Ah, let's go, I'll take him to the car." Liu Yifei stepped to sit on the sofa, took a strawberry from the fruit plate on the coffee table and took a bite.
"Are you happy?"
"Huh? What are you happy about?" Liu Yifei asked casually while eating something in her mouth.
"Gu Wei Lai, are you happy?" Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter with a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't we already agree not to mention the matter between me and Gu Wei?" Only then did Liu Yifei react.
"I didn't say anything. I just asked you to see if you were in a good mood."
"Humph~ That's what you meant anyway.
You don't have to say anything to me in the future. Gu Wei is so polite, just be casual.
We are just friends, and I have nothing to ask of him.”
"Okay, okay, I understand. We have to take care of our Sissi's self-esteem. We don't need to rely on anyone. We have the strength ourselves." Mother Liu coaxed her eldest daughter like a child.
"However, I have to say that this young man Gu Wei is getting better and better now."
"I'm not bad either!" After saying this, Liu Yifei felt a little guilty.
“It’s not to compare with Gu Wei, we pursue something different.”
Liu Xiaoli smiled.
"Yes, our Sissi will definitely be excellent!
I have been preparing hard recently to get the chance to star in [Mulan], and I will be an international superstar by then!"
"It will be no problem. !" Liu Yifei is full of fighting spirit.
The night is dark, and a full moon hangs high in the night sky. The bright moonlight shines down, like covering the earth with a layer of silver gauze.
Liu Yifei, who had washed up and was ready to rest, was lying on her big bed, staring at the night outside the window in a daze.
This was not the first time she thought about how to get along with Gu Wei.
To be honest, I am really happy to be with Gu Wei. He exudes a charm from the inside out, always attracting me unconsciously.
And it is easy to be with him, there is never any burden.
She has wanted to take that step several times, but when she thinks about Nazha, with whom she has a good relationship, Gu Wei's other ex-girlfriend Zhang Tianai, and various scandals, she will shrink back. .
“Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, just let nature take its course, what’s the use of me thinking about this alone
It is right to work hard on filming
Sleep and sleep”
After thinking for a while, Liu Yifei, who was a little impatient, covered her head with a quilt and simply imitated the ostrich.
