Huayu: Starting with mentoring female stars

Chapter 31 Traveling to My Junior Brother's Home for the New Year

After sitting down, Chen Zhou's mother couldn't help but ask, "Child, what's your relationship with our Xiaozhou? Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Liu Yifei waved her hand: "Director Chen and I are alumni of the Beijing Film Academy. I am his senior."

"So it's my senior sister." Chen Zhou's mother said this, but she didn't really believe it.

What senior sister would go to her junior brother's house during the Lunar New Year?

Even a fool wouldn't believe something like that!

"Auntie, do you have a hotel here? I don't know anyone else here," Liu Yifei said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou's mother immediately said, "Why stay in a hotel? Once you're here, you're family. Just stay at our house."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Liu Yifei said.

"Oh, what's wrong with it? Just stay here if we tell you to," Chen Zhou's mother said.

"In that case, thank you, Auntie." Liu Yifei stopped being coy.

Then, Liu Yifei looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Junior brother, could you show me around?"

"Mm." Chen Zhou nodded.

Liu Yifei, with a smile on her face, walked out of the house first.

Just as Chen Zhou was about to follow, his mother suddenly grabbed him. "Xiao Zhou, tell me honestly, have you two already started dating?"

"No, really. My senior sister and I are just ordinary friends," Chen Zhou said.

Although he and Liu Yifei had kissed not long ago, and it was Liu Yifei who took the initiative.

"Then you should take the initiative. You can't miss this opportunity with such a pretty girl," Chen Zhou's mother advised.

Chen Zhou didn't say much and followed them out.

So Chen Zhou took Liu Yifei for a walk around the village.

As a result, Liu Yifei was recognized by the villagers shortly after she left.

The older generation certainly wouldn't recognize it.

But it's Chinese New Year now, and many young people in the village are here.

"Liu Yifei? That Liu Yifei!"

"Oh my god, Chen Zhou actually brought Liu Yifei back."

"This is the first time I've seen a female celebrity up close. She's so much prettier in person than on TV. I really envy Chen Zhou."

"Oh no, oh no, from now on my mom will be saying to me, 'Look at Chen Zhou, he can even bring female celebrities home.' From now on, Chen Zhou will become someone else's child."

"I really want to go over and ask her for a photo, but I don't dare. I feel like she's on a completely different level from us."

The people were talking about it.

Liu Yifei heard all the discussions.

But she didn't think it mattered, since she was just spending the New Year at Chen Zhou's house.

Even if it gets out, it's not a big deal.

Unsurprisingly, it took about an hour.

News of Liu Yifei spending the Spring Festival in Chen Zhou's hometown has already been posted online.

It also included a photo of Liu Yifei and Chen Zhou standing together.

This also sparked heated discussions online.

"Can someone tell me this isn't true? I can't accept that the goddess I've been dreaming about is dating a handsome guy."

"Chen Zhou is a beast. Liu Yifei is only 20 years old this year, and he actually went after her. Oh no, Chen Zhou is only in his early twenties. They seem like a match made in heaven..."

"Chen Zhou's life is so amazing. His first movie grossed over 100 million yuan, and he even won over the female lead, Liu Yifei."

"First, you achieve success in your career, and then you have a beautiful woman by your side. This is simply the life every man dreams of."

"They must be creating hype. Yes, hype is very common in the entertainment industry. It's all just for the sake of generating buzz."

"If Chen Zhou went to Liu Yifei's home to spend the Chinese New Year and fawn over her in order to pursue her, I could understand that to some extent. But Liu Yifei taking the initiative to go to Chen Zhou's hometown for the Chinese New Year, I really can't understand that. How did Chen Zhou do that? He's practically a superman."

An hour later, Liu Yifei sat next to Chen Zhou in front of their house, basking in the sun.

As a result, she received a phone call from her mother.

With a touch of trepidation, Liu Yifei answered the phone: "Hello, Mom, is there something you need?"

On the other side, Liu Xiaoli's tone was very serious: "Do you think something's wrong? Didn't you tell me you were just going on a trip with friends? But what's going on? Why did you end up at Chen Zhou's house?"

"How did you know?" Liu Yifei asked.

"What do you think? The photos of you and Director Chen together have already started circulating online."

"Now many people know that you went straight to Chen Zhou's house for the New Year, and everyone is speculating whether you two are dating!"

"Look at you, kid! How can you do things without considering the consequences at all? It's just ridiculous!"

Liu Xiaoli gave her a scolding.

"I'm right, I did come here on vacation. I've never been to my junior brother's house before, so how can it not count as vacation?" Liu Yifei replied.

"Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Liu Xiaoli said helplessly.

"Okay, Mom, I'm just out having some fun. I'll be back soon, so don't worry," Liu Yifei said.

"If you were to go find someone else, I would definitely bring you back. But since you're going to find Chen Zhou this time, let's leave it at that for now." After saying that, Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone first.

"It seems your mother's impression of me has improved a lot. In the past, she would definitely have thought you were dangerous now," Chen Zhou joked.

"What's so dangerous about it? Do you think you can eat me?" Liu Yifei teased.

"Of course I won't eat you. It's someone who ate me at the victory celebration banquet before," Chen Zhou said.

The thought of the celebration banquet immediately made Liu Yifei's face blush.

Ever since then, she has often thought about that scene.

Then my heart started racing and I felt hot all over.

To avoid revealing her embarrassing situation, Liu Yifei quickly changed the subject: "What are your plans next? Are you going to take a break?"

"I plan to make a new movie called 'No Man's Land.' The script has been submitted to the relevant departments for review. Once it's approved, I'll assemble the crew and start filming," Chen Zhou said.

"What? You're making another movie so soon? And where did you get the script?" Liu Yifei was very surprised.

"I wrote it myself," Chen Zhou said.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei was surprised. "You had time to write other scripts while writing 'The Nameless'?"

"One of my hobbies is writing screenplays, so it's normal to have some in the pipeline," Chen Zhou said.

Liu Yifei did not question Chen Zhou's answer.

With countless unknown writers producing excellent works before them, it's not surprising that Chen Zhou can write other film scripts.

All I can say is that Chen Zhou is incredibly energetic.

"It may be a bit presumptuous of me, but could I take a look at your new script?" Liu Yifei asked.

Chen Zhou wasn't stingy; he went back inside, took out the paper script, and gave it to Liu Yifei.

After receiving the script, Liu Yifei began to read it carefully while basking in the sun.

Although she was wearing thick clothes, the sunlight shining on her, combined with her soft and cute face, made for a very striking sight.

As the saying goes, as long as you are good-looking and young, you will always be at your best from any angle.

About two hours later.

Liu Yifei slowly closed the script.

She looked at Chen Zhou with an extremely incredulous expression and said:

"Sometimes I really don't know whether I should call you Director Chen or Screenwriter Chen."

"Your directing and screenwriting skills always put me to shame!"

These are Liu Yifei's heartfelt words.

Because the script for "No Man's Land" is just so well written!
