Chapter 211 Witch
Liu Yifei was lying on the bed concentrating on reading the movie script at this time, and she didn't know that in another room, Liu Xiaoli had already made a decision for her and agreed to become a contract couple.
"Fei Fei?" Liu Xiaoli came to Liu Yifei's room, knocked on the door first, called a few times, and then pushed the door open.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Liu Yifei looked up and found that it was her mother, and asked puzzledly.
When Liu Xiaoli heard Liu Yifei's question, she looked embarrassed. She wanted to tell her daughter about the contract couple, but she really didn't know how to start the conversation for a while.
As a mother, it is embarrassing to let my daughter have an affair with another man.
Liu Xiaoli sat on the bed, thought for a while, then took Liu Yifei's white and tender little hand and said softly: "Fei Fei, what do you think of Yang Hao?"
"Ah?" Liu Yifei was stunned by this question. She never thought that her mother suddenly came to her bedroom to ask her about her impression of a man.
"I feel pretty good. He's very talented and handsome," Liu Yifei answered shyly with a blushing face.
Seeing her daughter's shy look, Liu Xiaoli suddenly wanted to tease her.
"Fei Fei, would you be willing to be Yang Hao's girlfriend?" Liu Xiaoli stared at her daughter's face, wanting to see her reaction.
"Yang Hao's girlfriend?" When Liu Yifei heard this, her brain went blank for a moment and she went into a state of computer outage. It took her a few seconds to come back to her senses.
Liu Yifei felt that the person in front of her didn't look like her mother, but more like a matchmaker.
My mother was really abnormal today. As soon as she came in, she asked me how I felt about Yang Hao, and then wanted to introduce me to him as his girlfriend.
Each question is more embarrassing than the last.
The strong feeling of shyness made Liu Yifei's cheeks red, and she lowered her head, looking like a shy little girl.
"Click!" Liu Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat when she saw her daughter being shy and silent.
"Oh no, it seems my daughter is really interested in Yang Hao," Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized.
Liu Xiaoli had played similar jokes on Liu Yifei before. Each time, although Liu Yifei was shy, she did not remain silent. Now she remained silent, which meant she tacitly agreed and agreed to be Yang Hao's girlfriend.
Although Liu Xiaoli had a great affection for Yang Hao, she felt uncomfortable at this moment. She always felt that the treasure she had raised for more than 20 years was about to be stolen.
"Okay, Feifei, I'm not kidding you anymore. We're not real girlfriends, we're just contract lovers," Liu Xiaoli told her daughter the truth at this time.
Next, Liu Xiaoli told Liu Yifei roughly what Director Han Yan had just said over the phone.
Contract couples are very common in the entertainment industry, and Liu Yifei had heard a little about it. After Liu Xiaoli explained it briefly, Liu Yifei understood what was going on.
At this moment, Liu Yifei also knew that everything that had just happened was just her mother playing a joke on her.
For some reason, when Liu Yifei heard that they were just a contract couple, she suddenly felt a strong sense of loss.
"My dear daughter, we won't suffer any loss if you hype up your relationship with Yang Hao. Yang Hao has been very popular online recently, especially in the past few months. He has been on the hot search every other day. Feifei, if you hype up your relationship with him, your traffic will definitely increase significantly. It's a win-win situation."
"Moreover, hyping up the relationship will be very beneficial for your next movie. If the movie is a box office hit, Feifei, you will have a masterpiece."
Although Liu Xiaoli admired Yang Hao very much, she agreed to become a contract couple more out of consideration for the interests of her own daughter.
"I understand, Mom. I agree to be a contract couple." Liu Yifei didn't know whether she was persuaded by her mother or she was willing to do so in the first place, but she agreed readily.
"I guess the contract couple promotion will not start until Yang Hao finishes filming Detective Chinatown and returns to China. During this time, Feifei, you should stay at home and study the movie script. Mom will leave first if there's nothing else," Liu Xiaoli said hello to Liu Yifei and then left her daughter's room.

In the Sohu Building, in Yu Li's office, Yu Li was sitting in her office chair sulking.
Yu Li has just received the news that the company has taken on the investment of a movie "Go Away Tumor King", and Liu Yifei will play the female lead.
Yu Li could see that Yang Hao attached great importance to this movie, and based on her boss's past track record, this movie was expected to be another big hit.
The reason why Yu Li was angry was because Yang Hao gave the female lead of this movie to an outsider. Although Liu Yifei is very popular and has a high status, when did her boss's movie ever need an actor to carry the box office?
Just the four words "Produced by Yang Hao" are enough to guarantee the movie's box office.
Yu Li has already read the script of "Go Away Tumor Man", and it is definitely a movie with a female lead.
There aren't many high-quality scripts like this one with a strong female lead in the entertainment industry every year. If this script is performed well, it can easily create a movie star.
In this movie with a female lead, the boss of the company took the initiative to play the male lead. Isn't this just trying to flatter Liu Yifei?
Is Liu Yifei so fragrant?
Is it worth it?
"Pick up girls, pick up girls, you only know how to pick up girls," Yu Li tore the A4 paper on the desk into pieces to vent her unhappiness.
Yu Li had a sharp eye. She had already noticed that Yang Chaoyue and Meng Ziyi had frowns, clear pupils, and a faint blush on their chins near their necks, which was unique to young girls. They were clearly women waiting to get married.
Especially since Yang Chaoyue followed Yang Hao every day, but Yang Hao didn't eat, this made it difficult for Yu Li to understand.
Yu Li couldn't understand why her boss ignored the young and tender ones and instead kept staring at old women like Liu Yifei, Da Mimi and Liu Shishi every day.
How come my boss is only 22 years old and suffers from "Cao-Mende Syndrome"?
Thinking about how all the movies like "The Richest Tomato", "The Blade Strikes Back", "Detective Chinatown" and so on were given by Yang Hao to these old women in the entertainment industry, Yu Li was so angry that she was about to go crazy.
Can’t we support our own artists?
Although the company’s own artist resources are pretty good, those are all TV dramas, how can they be compared with movies?
No, Yu Li felt that she needed to persuade her boss not to give resources to outsiders for nothing.
On the set of "Detective Chinatown", a scene had just ended when Yang Hao's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Yu Li calling.
Yang Hao had just met Yu Li at the celebration party for "Assassins 2" yesterday, and it had been less than a day since they last met. Yang Hao could not have imagined that she would call him at this time for some reason.
"Boss, I heard you gave the movie resources to outsiders again?"
"Boss, you can't keep doing this. Such good resources are always given to outsiders. What will the artists in the company think?" As soon as the call was connected, deep resentment came from the other end.
Yu Li's words silenced Yang Hao. He really did use his movie resources to pick up girls.
This method is indeed a sure win in picking up girls, but it will discourage the company's artists, and in the long run it will cause disunity among the company's members.
It seems that the company’s contracted artists will also have to make a movie next.
“Okay, I will definitely bring the company’s artists to play in the next movie,” Yang Hao promised.
"Boss, you can't lie to me." Yang Hao has been either picking up girls or on his way to picking up girls in the past two years. He has given all his resources to several old women in the circle. Yu Li is very worried about Yang Hao's promise. "Okay, I'll send you the movie script later." Yang Hao is also a little helpless. When did he become so untrustworthy?
As soon as the crew finished filming, Yang Hao returned to the hotel, he turned on his computer, took out a folder, and searched through it carefully.
That's it, The Witch.
To be honest, there are really too few classic movies in the Chinese entertainment industry. After watching several in a row, I felt like I had exhausted them all, so Yang Hao turned his attention to overseas.
"The Witch" is a classic science fiction action film. The core of the movie is actually a female superhero beating up the villain. It is a very exciting commercial film.
Yang Hao directly forwarded the movie script to his computer QQ, and then forwarded it to Yu Li's WeChat using his mobile phone QQ.
After get off work today, Yu Li estimated the finishing time of the "Detective Chinatown" crew and stayed on the other end of the phone, waiting for Yang Hao to send the script.
As soon as the file was sent, Yu Li chose to accept it. When she saw the script, she finally felt relieved.
When I opened the folder, the first thing I saw was the name of the script "Witch".
The movie script is not long, only about 40,000 to 50,000 words, and Yu Li read it carefully line by line.
The script is so good and exciting. As the heroine transformed into a superwoman and beat up the villain, Yu Li felt extremely satisfied watching it.
She really didn't expect that the first movie Yang Hao planned to make with the company's artists would be so big.
This is a science fiction action movie.
The plot of this script is obviously similar to that of American Superman. If this movie is well made, it will have a wide audience. People in Southeast Asia and even the United States may like it.
After reading the script, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. Yu Lian could not contain her excitement and sent the news about Yang Hao's next movie to the company WeChat group, telling everyone that Yang Hao's next movie would feature the company's artists, and that this movie was a science fiction movie with a female lead, which would be very successful if it was filmed well.
As soon as Yu Li’s news came out, the WeChat group exploded instantly.
Although the resources of Haori Film and Television Media are indeed good, and they have not been short of film and television resources after signing the contract, these are all TV dramas. What attracts them most is definitely Yang Hao's film resources.
In the past, Yang Hao never took them out to play, and they had some complaints in their hearts. Now, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining, and Yang Hao is finally going to take them out to play in his next movie.
Excitement, excitement, and all kinds of indescribable emotions filled everyone's hearts.
"Sister Yu Li, do you have a movie script?"
"Sister Yu Li, please give me the script"
"+1"
……
There are actually not many contracted artists in the company, only Zhao Liying, Li Xian, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi, Zhang Zifeng, and Yang Chaoyue who is still working as an assistant to Yang Hao.
Among these people, Li Xian was the calmest. He was the only male artist in the company besides Yang Hao. As long as Yang Hao didn't show up, he would definitely get this resource.
But the female artists in the company were a little nervous. They all knew that this was a good opportunity, but there were several people competing for it, and for a moment, each of the girls had their own thoughts.

In the girls' dormitory of Beijing Film Academy, Chen Yao was lying on the bed, checking Weibo messages on her mobile phone. Suddenly, her eyes froze.
"Lizhi TV will record "Running Man" on October 10, and the resident guests include Deng Chao, Chen He, Meng Ziyi, Wang Baoqiang..."
This Weibo message was just an advance advertisement for a new variety show, which was nothing unusual, but the name of one of the regular guests caught Chen Yao's attention.
"Meng Ziyi?" Chen Yao's eyes narrowed and he sat up straight from the bed.
After a moment of surprise, Chen Yao came to his senses, shook his head, and thought, "Maybe it's a coincidence."
Chen Yao clicked on the name Meng Ziyi and was suddenly redirected to Meng Ziyi's Weibo homepage.
“This, this…” After seeing Meng Ziyi’s Weibo homepage clearly, Chen Yao rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t believe that this Meng Ziyi was actually his roommate.
Why did my roommate Meng Ziyi suddenly become so awesome?
She has sneaked into this variety show and is the only permanent female guest. Look at who the other male guests are: Deng Chao, Chen He, and Wang Baoqiang, they are all big names.
It can be predicted that as the only permanent female guest of this variety show, Meng Ziyi will definitely have a lot of screen time, and as long as she performs well, she will definitely attract a lot of fans.
Chen Yao was jealous. We were roommates in the same dormitory and had agreed to share weal and woe, so why did you secretly get a hair treatment?
Chen Yao turned over and quickly jumped onto Meng Ziyi's bed.
"Ziyi, why didn't you tell us that you participated in the show "Running Man"? "
"What? What?" Hua Wen heard Chen Yao's words and came over to ask out of curiosity.
"Ahhh, your senior brother is so good to you. He is willing to give such variety show resources to a newcomer," Hua Wen exclaimed after figuring out the situation.
Although I already knew that my roommate Meng Ziyi had signed a contract with Senior Brother Yang Hao's company and would definitely have no shortage of resources in the future, it was a bit too generous to get such powerful resources right away.
Whether an artist can become popular really depends on fate and whether the artist is popular with the audience.
That film and television company doesn't just provide resources bit by bit to support its artists. It's rare that they use overwhelming resources right from the start to promote them.
Chen Yao and Hua Wen chattered for a long time, and suddenly found that Meng Ziyi seemed to be in a bad mood. This shouldn’t be the case. She was about to participate in a variety show of this level, so why would she be unhappy?
"Ziyi, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Chen Yao asked with his head down.
"My senior brother sent a message in the company group yesterday, saying that he will be bringing the company's artists to play in his next movie, and it is a movie with a strong female lead. I was worried about this."
"There are several female artists in the company. I joined the company too late. It seems like I have a chance, but it seems like I have no chance," Meng Ziyi said with a worried look on his face.
"Meng Meng, I think you are just showing off," Hua Wen and Chen Yao said in unison.
I thought Meng Ziyi was worried about something, but it turned out to be about movie resources.
I give up. I just wrote a paragraph about a goddess. Why did you lick her? Nnd, I just wanted to scum her.
