Chapter 336: Little Liu's Clever Plan to Pacify the World

"Little Liu, come here!" Boss Lu turns his head and beckons to the little girl.

Why is she still looking up and giggling foolishly?

Stiff neck?

Zhang Yuan Heping, representing the official Olympic Organizing Committee, teases her: "Miss Liu, I asked Director Lu before about the method for tonight's technical inspection."

"He told me he would make the performance form more secular, looking like it has nothing to do with the Olympics, to achieve a confidential effect."

He points at Boss Lu: "So this is how secular it is, right? You are using the guise of the general director to engage in personal gain!"

Ma Wen joins in: "That's right! It just stunned me; who wouldn't be confused by this?"

Lin Ying sighs: "Fortunately, my grandniece Liang Zhouyang is not here; she already worships Lu Kuan, and if she were here, nine cows wouldn't be able to pull her back, right?"

Everyone laughs and teases, and Liu Yifei blushes before she can say a word, her heart full of joy that she can't hide.

Boss Lu interrupts the teasing: "Little Liu, why don't you invite these great artists to your birthday banquet? The mouths of this group of people can only be blocked by good food!"

Liu Yifei covers her mouth and laughs lightly, with the dignity of a famous noble daughter: "The scene today is a bit shabby; I don't know if it will be disrespectful, but please still give us the honor of gathering."

Zhang Yimou pats Boss Lu on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's all go together to join in the fun and get some of the birthday star's joy."

Sheraton, fifth floor.

The third act of "Cutting Hair to Wait for Guests" says: "Noble feet step on humble ground, the humble house is full of light."

Today was originally a semi-enclosed private banquet; Liu Xiaoli just used it to vent the emotions of her mentally strained daughter.

When Lu Kuan, Zhang Yimou, the two big hands in the domestic film director circle, and official figures like Zhang Yuan Heping stepped into the venue, they quickly became the focus of the venue.

Not to mention that below them, with Zhang Jigang's military rank and the level of Chen Weiya and others, even if they arrived in the locality, they would be received by the Jin Ling Military Region and official arrangements.

In the banquet hall, whether it was the business people from the endorsement side who were invited or the conspirator Da Mimi who came uninvited, they all stood up in unison, rushing to step forward to show their faces.

Liu Yifei, as the host, introduces the guests to Lu Kuan and others.

"This is Mr. Cao, the sales director of Pepsi China, who came specially from Magic City."

Boss Lu reaches out: "Director Cao, right? Welcome, eat well and drink well."

Cao Da exhales a few "ehs" in one breath, and steps forward with a very low-key posture, shaking hands with both hands: "General Manager Lu, I have admired you for a long time; you can just call me Little Cao."

Boss Lu smiles: "That would be too disrespectful; please sit down first, I will come to toast you later."

"No, no, it must be me who comes to you to express my heart; General Manager Lu, shall you sit down first?"

"Good, good."

The young director's eyes sweep over Yang Mi again, nodding at her with a smile, and sits at a table with the Olympic creative team and Zhang Yuan Heping.

This occasion today is also an opportunity for everyone to have a meal and relax.

Da Mimi sighs in her heart, looking at the sales director of Pepsi China, who was just putting on airs and taking advantage of her, now nodding and bowing like a young man who has just entered the workplace.

Even brazenly asking Lu Kuan, who is more than twenty years younger than him, to call him Little Cao...

Yang Mi once again intuitively and concretely feels the disparity in life.

She just entered Yanda Huayi, and because she deliberately made friends with Bingbing, she got some opportunities to appear in fashion magazine supplements.

Even so, the quality of endorsements is mostly second and third-tier brands, which really can't compare with Liu Yifei's Pepsi and Disney.

After a banquet, the host and guests are happy, and everyone disperses.

Da Mimi lingers and is unwilling to leave, calling her driver and assistant to tell them to find a place to stay first.

She also sends the photo of her and Liu Yifei at the banquet to her assistant, instructing her to refine it and post it to her official blog.

And she herself does not intend to leave tonight.

Yang Mi, who jumps back and forth between Boss Lu and Little Liu, decides to "feed the tiger with her body" tonight and have a good best friend talk with Liu Yifei!

Looking at the posture tonight, the sharp-minded Da Mimi decides to increase her investment in her.

As for this young director, the Nine-Tailed Fox still dare not face him directly for the time being.

The level is too high; it seems that senior Bingbing has already failed; what kind of onion am I?

Liu Xiaoli and her daughter send the guests away and take photos with the reluctant fans.

Among them, there are many bold ones who mixed into Lu Kuan and Zhang Yimou's place to ask for signatures and photos, and all returned happily.

Presumably, they can set off another wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred on major Liu Yifei theme websites and communities.

Lu Kuan also drank a few cups tonight, greeting Liu Yifei at the door: "Go back early, I'll go chat with Director Zhang and them about something."

Her daughter hasn't answered yet, but her old mother, who is especially happy tonight, is already concerned: "Little Lu, do you want me to brew some honey water for you? Did you drink too much?"

"It's fine, it's fine, it's a small matter; Jin Ling is hot, just walk around twice and the alcohol will be gone."

Liu Yifei is a bit uncharacteristically shy today: "Um, can I say something to you?"

"Ah? Oh." Boss Lu turns his head: "Director Zhang, you guys smoke a cigarette and wait for me."

Zhang Yuan Heping is drunk: "Sigh! Why wait a while? See you tomorrow!"

The Olympic creative team members who filed out all laugh out loud; today can be considered as having exhausted all the jokes about this young director.

Liu Yifei waves goodbye to everyone with dignity, and pulls Lu Kuan's sleeve to the side of the hallway.

"Um... do you have the video of the drones tonight? I want to..."

The young girl lowers her head slightly, her hair ends brushing against her white-jade-like earlobes, hiding that unfinished whisper behind the curtain of falling green silk.

The moonlight crawls onto her trembling eyelashes through the window of the hotel hallway, sifting fine gold powder under her eyelids.

Little Liu, who is moved tonight, speaks softly, looking at the sweetheart in front of her, her phoenix eyes rippling with the shyness that hasn't faded.

I don't know if it's because of the wine today, the hot weather, or because she hasn't been close to women lately.

Boss Lu looks at the little girl in front of him and is moved, speaking teasingly: "You want it?"

After speaking, he taps her clean forehead three times with his knuckles.

"Hmm?"

Boss Lu performs as the "washing machine": "Little Liu, do you want to progress or not?"

"Have you seen 'Journey to the West'? You should know what to do; I'll explain the play to you properly when the time comes!"

"Say it again?"

The shy, pure-love girl breaks her defense in a second, her willow eyebrows standing up as she wants to use weapons of mass destruction, but then thinks about his good performance today, and gives up.

Liu Yifei is used to being teased, and now she breaks the jar: "Hmph hmph, 3 a. m., right?"

"Remember not to sleep; I dare to go, let's see if you dare to open the door!"

"Afei can't possibly be on duty at 3 a. m., right?"

Boss Lu changes his face at the speed of light, full of righteousness: "Stop talking nonsense! That was just testing you; I'll have someone send the video to your email."

The young director leaves gracefully; Liu Yifei, who is satisfied today, looks at him with a smile, her heart full of joy.

She is looking at the scenery on the bridge, and Da Mimi not far away is also looking at her.

"Xixi."

"Hmm?" Liu Yifei turns back and smiles at Yang Mi: "Mimi, it's very late today; how about I open a room for you to stay for the night?"

The little girl is in a good mood today and ignores all the monsters and ghosts.

"I..." Yang Mi is overjoyed; this trip today is worth it; she can also have a best friend night talk, and her favorability will increase by a large margin!

"Xixi, aren't you staying in a suite? I'll just sleep on that bed outside?" Da Mimi looks sickly: "It's a strange place, I'm a bit scared..."

"We can talk about secrets when we get together!"

Liu Yifei naturally doesn't care, just trying to test her depth: "Okay, then let's go back?"

"Hee hee, let's go." Yang Mi familiarly puts her arm around Liu Yifei's, and the two women walk side-by-side.

They don't even need to leave the hotel, just take the elevator up a few floors and return to the suite on the floor of the lead actors.

Late at night, the two women who have washed up sit opposite each other in the hotel suite and chat.

Da Mimi sits on the edge of the bed, her bare feet stepping on the soft wool carpet.

Liu Yifei is lazily curled up on the sofa, revealing half of her jade-carved calves under her silk bathrobe.

She holds a red wine glass, her voice soft like lily-of-the-valley soaked in snow water.

"Mimi, your drinking capacity is okay; we've almost finished a bottle of Burgundy, and you don't feel anything?"

Da Mimi waves her hand when she hears this: "I was already dizzy; if it weren't for your birthday today, I would rarely drink..."

Liu Yifei doesn't care whether she is really drunk or pretending to be drunk; the night is long, so she goes straight to the point.

"Mimi, Lu Kuan stayed on the set of 'Huang Jinjia' for a few months; you should be quite familiar with him, right?"

Yang Mi's expression is normal: "To tell you the truth, I really want to get familiar with him, but he is too busy, just like today..."

"The place where the Olympic creative team discusses is forbidden for outsiders to approach; we just occasionally wait for him to chat about movies with Director Zhang, and then we can go over and say hello."

This is said without any flaws.

If you look at it from the perspective of looking at traces rather than intentions, Yang Mi is trying to engage in some shady business with this big director, it's just that there has never been a very good opportunity.

It's just that she seized the opportunity to provoke his relationship with his rumored girlfriend, and was easily identified by Liu Yifei, who has a higher level.

Little Liu nods slowly noncommittally, and suddenly pierces this fake best friend wearing a mask with confidence: "Mimi."

"Hmm?"

"You are a good friend, right?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Liu Yifei gets up happily, moves from the sofa to the edge of the bed, and hugs the little fox who was shocked by the earthquake.

The soft hotel mattress can't withstand their weight, collapsing locally, capturing the firm buttocks of the two mainland little flowers.

Yang Mi is like Jing Tian who came to the crew for the first time, suddenly forced by the sharp edge of the "Heavenly Fairy Attack" and feeling timid in her heart.

Smelling the faint citrus fragrance on her body, she was stunned by her style for a while.

Liu Yifei hugs Yang Mi very tightly, using her height advantage to look down at her.

The two women are only separated by the extremely thin silk pajamas of summer; the heat on Little Liu's body clearly roasts Da Mimi's body.

"Since we are good friends, best friends, your position should be consistent with mine, right?"

"Of course! Of course..."

Little Liu still controls Yang Mi, who avoids her gaze: "Alright, I'll make it clear to you today."

"I like Lu Kuan, and he also has feelings for me; I firmly believe in this point."

"Some small accidents happened on this day last year, and you were also there, but now it seems that I would rather believe that it was the best arrangement of fate."

Yang Mi can no longer pretend to be drunk; her flushed pretty face has a wonderful expression, changing several times; what is she going to say to herself!?

In an instant, the clever Da Mimi also comes to her senses; this is to plant a flag directly in front of her. Since you, Yang Mi, admit that you are a good friend, a best friend, then your position must be consistent with mine.

On the issue of Lu Kuan, no matter what messy ideas you have, please stick to the bottom line.

Besides that, you have to help me strictly guard against...

Sure enough, Little Liu takes the opportunity to probe: "Last time Lu Kuan was setting up a game on your 'Huang Jinjia' set, Fan Bingbing went to visit the set, and someone sent me a message."

"You were also on the set at the time; who do you think... it would be?"

Da Mimi, who is in Little Liu's "arms," suddenly feels that the air conditioning in the room is failing, and her whole body is hot and difficult to bear.

Fortunately, she has red wine drunkenness to cover it up, so she doesn't let her guilty conscience climb onto her face and be seen.

Yang Mi also calms down quickly: "What was the content of the message?"

This logic is correct.

If she directly panicked and gave any answer she guessed, imagined, or fabricated—

For example, "Should it be one of your friends on the set?"

Undoubtedly, it would be full of flaws.

How do you, Yang Mi, know what the content of the message is?

Little Liu holds the cup as if she is about to take a sip of red wine; Yang Mi seizes the opportunity to look up at her expression, using it to judge the attitude of this good best friend who brings her huge pressure.

The wine liquid crosses Liu Yifei's lip line; she suddenly lifts her eyelids, and the tail of her eyes dyed with mascara is like two ink-colored brocade carps, her eyes pointing directly at Da Mimi's prying gaze!

Another silent slaughter of citrus and cedar.

Cedar Yang Mi may not be able to confirm her exposure.

But the citrus already knows it in her heart.

Liu Yifei sighs and gets up: "Forget it, I guess you don't know who it is; I won't talk about the content of the message."

"In short... it's about Fan Bingbing, your fellow apprentice sister."

"Mimi, how is your relationship with her?"

Yang Mi tells the truth; she never lies about unimportant things; there is no need.

Telling the truth can increase her credibility: "It's okay; Fan Bingbing has abundant fashion resources, and both male and female artists in the company give her some face."

"Even Director Feng's wife, Xu Fan, smiles at her when she sees her now; after all, this kind of resource is something that female stars in the inner entertainment industry have to fight for."

Liu Yifei nods slowly, her eyes pondering for a few seconds.

Her goal today is not Yang Mi, but Fan Bingbing.

Da Mimi's little tricks have long been seen through; from the micro-expressions on the former's face, she can see obvious guilt.

No evidence is needed; she sent the text message.

But this doesn't mean she has to expose her to her face, scold her, and then part on bad terms.

Liu Yifei puts herself in Boss Lu's perspective to look at this matter, but it is an opportunity to provide her with help.

In "Dragon Slayer," the old man used the contradictions within a pair of enemies to fight for benefits for his own side.

For example, the contradiction between Yan Xishan as a local faction and Chang's central army;

For example, the contradiction between the United States and Chang, whose interests are not completely consistent.

During the War of Resistance, one of the pairs of contradictions was the contradiction between the Japanese and the puppets.

Unite all forces that can be united; Yang Mi and Fan Bingbing are in the same company, and they have many opportunities to contact each other, which is just right for her to communicate with each other about some things.

In other words, Bingbing is the Japanese army, and Yang Mi is the puppet army.

Are there no contradictions between the Japanese and the puppets?

Doesn't Yang Mi want to be the first sister of Yanda Huayi?

By carrying out political offensives against the puppet army, propagating anti-Japanese propositions, and using the interest differences and contradictions between them and the devils, strive for some puppet troops to rebel.

Or make them take a passive attitude toward the devils' combat operations to a certain extent, playing a role in dividing the enemy camp.

Liu Yifei is taking the little Nine-Tailed Fox to fight Medusa; in short, she is unscathed; why care if they are both defeated or perish together?

"Mimi, I heard that Fan Bingbing is very aggressive in the company now and has always wanted to get more of Yanda Huayi's original shares; is this true?"

"Yes!" Yang Mi is guilty at this time; seeing Liu Yifei focus all her attention on Fan Bingbing, it is just right for her to stay out of it.

Little Liu wants to use the potential competitive relationship between her and Bingbing; didn't Yang Mi think of using the fight between these two top female stars in the inner entertainment industry?

The entertainment industry does not raise idlers; there are no easy people.

"During the first share allotment last year, Fan Bingbing and Director Feng got the most shares; among female artists, the second one is Zhou Xun."

"By the way, Xixi, you are more familiar with Director Zhang Jizhong; he is actually very unhappy, feeling that he should get more."

"Just because of this, there have been some discrepancies within the company; Director Zhang is one of the three directors of the 'Yahoo Search Star' that will be launched on National Day, and he is still throwing a tantrum now!"

Yang Mi smiles bitterly: "Actually, I don't understand it either; the original share price given by the two Wangs is so high, and these famous stars and big directors are also rushing to buy."

"Sigh, it really makes us little artists envious."

This time it is Da Mimi's turn to make Little Liu dumbfounded!

The internal secrets of Yanda Huayi revealed in her few words connected Little Liu's previous various information together, forming a vague logical chain in her mind!

On this day last year, Lu Kuan told her—Fan Bingbing is still useful.

After the New Year's Eve, on the night of the Oscars, Zhou Xun revealed during a chat—Fan Bingbing has been seeking more shares and seems to be very close to the two Wangs and Deng Wendi.

At that time, she was still worried about whether it would be detrimental to the "washing machine".

Plus what Yang Mi just said about Zhang Jizhong!

Regarding Boss Lu, Liu Yifei's information asymmetry is the smallest.

She knows almost all of the former's private matters, including many underwater arrangements, such as the Netflix and Blockbuster strategies she personally participated in.

But Yanda Huayi?

Starting from the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, when Lu Chuan and Wang Xiaolei instructed propaganda personnel to cover and paste the posters of "Whiplash," the two companies have been in constant dispute for four years.

It seems that until Zhou Jun fell from power last year, the two Wangs began to deliberately avoid disputes and stop the drums.

According to his personality, he should have already taken action to destroy the other party, right?

What is he waiting for?

Or rather, has he already done something? It's just that no one can see or see clearly on the surface.

Just like letting herself invest 300 million US dollars in Netflix, and sending people to acquire Carl Icahn's shares; moving around is just to unify the streaming media world in North America.

If you are not an "insider" like her, who can see his intentions clearly?

The little girl has become accustomed to standing in his perspective and using his logical habits to think about problems:

The relationship between Fan Bingbing and him is self-evident, and Zhou Xun is also one of the few pure opposite-sex friends he has in the inner entertainment industry.

Zhang Jizhong won't talk about it; the first time Lu Kuan showed her the horoscope, it was also introduced by him.

It's just that he invited a wolf into the house, until finally this ruthless "washing machine" took the entire Red Star Dock in one pot.

These three people who are closely related to him are all seeking Yanda Huayi's original equity at the same time; it is hard to say whether this is his instruction!

Then everything is explained, including what he said "I am still useful."

Liu Yifei doesn't know what the use is; obviously, besides satisfying some of his needs, more is to pave the way and bury mines for actions against Yanda Huayi.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Jizhong are the same.

It's just that if you are not an "insider" like her, it is difficult to categorize these things together.

Even her, didn't she just react today?

This is thanks to the inspiration brought by the Netflix/Blockbuster incident.

Little Liu is very excited; she feels she has found the point.

But now there is only one thing she can't figure out: what does he want these shares for?

Even if we don't talk about ashes, after all, Yanda Huayi has several big financial figures behind it.

But now the Inquiry Realm wants to restrain and limit Yanda Huayi's development, which is easy; just using online and offline propaganda tools to carry out soundless and image-less containment is enough to make them drink a pot.

The purpose of taking shares is nothing more than wanting to obtain company control as much as possible and drive the two founders who have been in discrepancy for a long time out of the company;

Or it is convenient to smash the market, and after the lifting of the ban after Yanda Huayi goes public, do some things through the secondary market.

Or some business cases she learned and recognized at Booth School of Business:

Through the shell resources of listed companies to stretch—smash the market—harvest and seize huge profits, and finally obtain company control at a very low cost, and then reintegrate high-quality assets to do it.

The current Yanda Huayi has internet capital represented by Ali, the internet six major represented by News Corp, and Tom Net, which is behind Li Ka-shing, as shareholders.

If you really have a heart to calculate without a heart, there are many articles that can be done.

Little Liu racked her brains and couldn't find a way; she felt his mystery was always unpredictable.

She has now entered a cognitive critical point.

That is, in the process of logical reasoning or problem-solving, the individual has completed most of the information integration and analysis, reaching the edge of cognitive breakthrough.

But because of some subtle stagnation, she cannot complete the final epiphany.

But there is one point that Little Liu is relatively certain about now.

Especially on a day like today, recalling the tragic stories of this day a year ago, it strengthened her determination as a nineteen-year-old empress to take the initiative.

That is how to cut off Fan Bingbing and Lu Kuan!

Your so-called "she is useful," isn't it just letting Fan Bingbing help you get more equity?

If I can do it, or use Yang Mi to do it, can't I?

Is she still valuable to you?

Can this last layer of shackles and barriers between us be pierced along the trend?

Just like her previous attitude toward Yang Mi, the little girl now believes that the "washing machine's" feelings for her are real.

In these few battles side-by-side, some feelings are only deeply felt by the parties involved.

But about this barrier of Fan Bingbing, it is what she has always avoided and didn't want to face directly.

She is afraid that the timing of her questioning is wrong, and she is also afraid of hearing the answer she doesn't want, unable to face each other, leading to the two becoming strangers again.

Liu Yifei is afraid that the "washing machine" will lie to her, and afraid that he won't lie to her.

Under the pretext of being drunk, the two women ended this significant best friend night talk.

Of course, Yang Mi doesn't know the significance of this, and she doesn't know that she was shamefully defined by Little Liu as a "puppet army"...

August 25th is really a special day; there are always some people and some things that happen and change abruptly.

The little girl lies on the bed and empties her thoughts, putting today's major discovery aside for the time being; she needs time to think carefully about countermeasures.

But the timing is obviously not right now.

Compared to Fan Bingbing, she still wants to invest more energy in this character and the movie.

And at the moment, she wants to enter her dream with a smile, and relive the brilliant beautiful dream created by the drone's LED light strip makeup today.

Liu Yifei gently closes her eyelids, her eyelashes casting fine shadows in the moonlight, like a butterfly folding its wings.

The corners of her mouth rise slightly, outlining a faint smile, as if she is still immersed in that brilliant galaxy just now.

The night wind brushes her cheeks, lifting a few strands of scattered green silk, and then falling gently, like the trajectory of the drone's light strip across the air.

It makes her intoxicated.

Vote! Vote!
