Chapter 614
Concert Problems: Liu Xiaoli Sends Wang Yifei on a Blind Date
Haha, this is hilarious! My father-in-law is so clever!
My father-in-law is incredibly powerful! He actually managed to pull out that much money all at once; it's something that will shock me for the rest of my life.
[My goodness, is this what a simple, unpretentious wealthy family looks like? They just gave away over 50 million yuan like that?]
[Give this friend, whom I've never met, an extra set of exam papers.]
I don't want to work hard anymore. Although you're still a small child, I can wait for you to grow up. I want to be a kept man.
[One like equals one exam paper, what a bargain! Come on, brothers, let's all lend a hand!]
[They're so rich, and so hilarious!]
They're clearly so rich, yet they still go out of their way to entertain us and make us laugh. They really work incredibly hard!
Since they're already here, let's give them one more ticket.
One more photo won't make a difference.
[Hahahaha, here's an extra test paper!]
[We've reached 120,000, one more test paper from you won't make a difference.]
[Wait a minute, where's Sissi? Is she no longer giggling? What happened to her punishment?]
After Bai Doufu uploaded the video with tears in her eyes, the account went completely crazy.
Comments came in very quickly, with many passersby happy to give the young boys and girls an extra test paper.
This is so funny!
However, many of Wang Yifei's fans are asking about her punishment.
Although she escaped first in the video, she couldn't hide forever.
Avoidance is not the solution to problems.
Many fans were still urging in the comments section: Father-in-law, please let her hold a concert for every like she gets.
The suggestion received over five million likes and comments, several times more than the video itself, which is quite astonishing.
In Guangzhou, Wang Yifei has been hiding in a villa on a lakeside island in Zhujiang New Town for two days.
At that moment, she was browsing Weibo, or more precisely, browsing the comment section of the video her sister had posted.
Seeing the more than five million likes and eight hundred thousand comments, Wang Yifei felt the full malice of this world.
She was particularly speechless when someone commented that she should hold a concert for every like she received.
It's worth noting that she has never held a concert since she became a pop diva.
Although there are very few divas like her who can make a fortune without holding concerts, they are practically rare.
But she's already used to it.
However, she was still reluctant to hold a concert because it was too much trouble. Not only would she need to rehearse, but she would also have to take care of this and that.
This is preventing her from making money.
Not to mention the more than five million likes, which celebrity is so amazing that they can hold so many concerts?
That's a joke!
"No, I have to hide. I can't just show up in mainland China anymore."
After thinking about it, she decided that she should go abroad to work.
She originally had a two-week vacation. There was still some finishing work to be done on the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean," and she only needed to go there for a week in early August.
But right now, she just wants to go to Los Angeles first.
Thinking of this, she ran away.
Two days later, she arrived safely at her villa in Beverly Hills, spent a day adjusting to the time difference, and then threw herself into her work.
At this time, the summer movie season in Los Angeles was in full swing and extremely competitive.
This summer saw the release of just as many blockbusters as in previous years, including "Transformers 3," "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," "Ice Age 2," and "Twilight."
These four films are all major productions and distributions under the Want Want Group, and were released in July and August respectively.
Wang Yifei couldn't help but feel envious as she watched these movies dominate the box office.
Then, remembering that the companies behind these movies all belong to the Want Want Group and are generating revenue for their own businesses, I couldn't help but laugh again.
She has a strong ability to regulate her emotions.
She had just gotten up that day when a video call came in; it was from her father.
She hurriedly hung up, not daring to answer.
Then another one came, it was her father again.
She hung up again, but the call came back. She knew she couldn't avoid it any longer, so she had no choice but to answer.
"Hey, Big Fish, good morning."
Why didn't you hang up on my video call request?
On the other end of the video call, Wang Duoyu sneered:
"You think you're all grown up now, huh? You dare hang up on me? Humph!"
Wang Yifei was a little flustered. Her father had never acted like this before. She wondered if it was because she had run away too thoroughly this time, which angered her father.
"Big Fish, I know I was wrong~" she said pitifully, hoping to get away with it.
But is it possible?
"If you know you're wrong, come back right away. Let me tell you, this matter isn't over yet."
"Oh, Dad, don't scare me. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and I've already returned the 50 million to you. I've also deleted that video."
"Wang Yifei!!!" Wang Duoyu gritted his teeth immediately:
"You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't deleted the video, I wouldn't have made a video call to you today. Humph, you just packed your bags and ran away, leaving me with a mess. Your reputation isn't looking good."
The internet today doesn't have much negativity; it's mostly filled with joy.
However, Wang Yifei's fans are quite formidable.
After Wang Yifei deleted the video, her fans thought she had been threatened, so discussions about the conspiracy never stopped on Weibo and other major platforms.
After all, Wang Duoyu was just joking with the kids, but he didn't expect Wang Yifei to be so cowardly.
The key issue is that the video was deleted, which led to netizens' wild speculations and resulted in the current accident.
In short, there are a lot of negative news stories circulating on the internet right now, which is why Wang Duoyu called Wang Yifei.
Why is she in Los Angeles now, instead of in Harbin?
Due to the time difference between the two places, she deleted the video and went to sleep, unaware that it was daytime in China. If this matter were to escalate, it could become a serious issue.
Wang Duoyu could get Want Want Group to order Weibo, the official platform, to control the comments, or even delete them directly.
But he felt it was unnecessary, especially since it was Wang Yifei who caused the trouble, so she should handle it.
After all, some things are more likely to cause trouble the more you try to cover them up, and you might end up making things worse.
"Big Fish, I know I was wrong. I'll deal with this right away." She genuinely didn't know about it, since she had indeed gone to bed very early last night.
After hanging up the phone, she quickly went online to find out what was going on, and the more she read, the uglier her expression became.
Some people and some things can be quite embarrassing.
But she wouldn't believe that there weren't competitors stirring things up behind the scenes.
Although she is not very old, she has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has long understood how dirty those people are behind the scenes.
So she quickly released a video to explain.
After all, this was originally a joke her father played on her and her younger siblings.
As for flaunting wealth?
That's certainly not the case, but she did apologize. It's really inappropriate to bring this up publicly on the internet.
Everyone knows that Wang Yifei earns a lot of money, whether it's her singing career, acting, or film investment.
So she's rich, well, that basically means her family is rich.
However, fans are quite confused about Wang Yifei's family situation.
Because Wang Yifei doesn't attend events very often and doesn't seem to care much about promoting her own albums, people don't know much about her.
In addition, she is now a college student and often stays on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, making it really difficult for outsiders to understand her.
But both the previous videos and the one about "one like for one yuan" a while ago showed that Wang Yifei's family was very well-off, and that it was definitely a very luxurious villa.
Furthermore, Wang Yifei's father can easily come up with over 200 million yuan, so he is definitely not an ordinary person.
This matter is indeed a bit puzzling, but the fans don't really care, since they're willing to spoil Wang Yifei.
But her competitors don't see it that way.
Especially in recent years, Wang Yifei's foray into Hollywood has seemingly blocked many people's path to wealth.
No matter how the mainland develops, the United States remains the world's only superpower with a highly developed economy.
Furthermore, the United States is the world's largest box office market for movies, bar none.
Of the many films released each year, the top twenty are mostly Hollywood blockbusters, and the United States accounts for the largest share of their box office revenue.
For the female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry who want to break into Hollywood, they naturally need to get rid of Wang Yifei as an obstacle, especially the top female celebrities who are as young as her, and the companies behind them do the same.
For example, in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" which she is currently filming, and in the "Fast & Furious" series, there are many female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry who could replace her.
Therefore, if Wang Yifei is involved in any negative news, it would be best if it escalated to a major point, as that would be an opportunity for these female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, they were overthinking it.
Wang Yifei's explanation video was uploaded quickly, and the aftermath of this incident will soon subside.
The mudslinging has indeed been cleared up, but fans are still fixated on one thing: when will the concert be held?
"You can't ask me about this. I won't have time to work until after I graduate. Holding concerts takes too much time. I don't have that much time to hold concerts."
Fans were not satisfied with her explanation and immediately commented below her Weibo post:
"You're making money so fast now, you're already a millionaire, there's absolutely no need for you to go to class anymore. Besides, weren't you filming in Hollywood for the first half of this year? You weren't studying properly at school then, were you? Why can't you hold a concert?"
Other singers are very proactive in holding concerts, and even in fear that no one will buy tickets, they will actively invite people to buy them.
He even invited fans to his concerts for free.
However, Wang Yifei has a difficult time securing concerts.
She released her first album seven years ago, and now she has released more than ten albums with over a hundred songs.
The result was that not a single concert was ever held.
Previously, I was too young, lacked physical strength, and didn't have many songs.
However, now that everything is in place, she suddenly says that I need to graduate from university first?
unacceptable.
It's like a parent warning their child: You can only date after you graduate!
The problem is, how many kids can wait until they graduate from college to start dating?
There were hardly any people at all.
Many people experience the forbidden fruit after entering university.
After seeing this comment, Wang Yifei pretended to be dead.
She just doesn't want to hold concerts because she can't make much money from them.
The worst part is that it's exhausting.
Unless she releases more English albums and embarks on a world tour in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, and London, she might still have a chance to make money.
However, this would require six months, or even a year, for planning, promotion, and other tasks. There's a lot of work to be done, and the money isn't easy to earn.
Therefore, she does not want to hold a concert in the short term.
"Sis, when are you coming back?"
Bai Doufu sent her a message, "There's still a week left before filming ends, what's up?"
"Sister, please come back soon! Second brother and sister-in-law are getting married soon!"
"What do you mean, getting married? Brother Big Fish and Sister Xiaoli haven't even met Second Sister-in-law's parents yet, so why are they getting married? Is it that hasty?"
Dai Junzhu had already visited our home a few months ago, and we had a brief chat then.
But at that time, they hadn't arranged for their parents to meet yet. Later, Wang Duoyu went to the moon, so the meeting was postponed.
"My second brother and sister-in-law talked about it last night at dinner. They've arranged to meet in Shanghai next week. As the man, we'll go directly to the woman's city to meet her."
Wang Yifei was immediately surprised, but upon further reflection, she realized that it made perfect sense.
After all, if her second brother marries Dai Junzhu, they will most likely live in Harbin.
Dai Junzhu's family is in Shanghai, so when her parents meet, they go to Shanghai.
Because Dai Junzhu's father is a university professor, and her mother works at the Changzhou Women's Federation, both of them are in the south.
Therefore, at this time, it would be more effective for the Wang family to take the initiative to demonstrate the man's sincerity.
"So, sister, you'd better come back soon. Once second brother finalizes his wedding, third brother won't be far behind, and then it'll be your turn."
That makes a lot of sense.
Because their mother, Liu Xiaoli, is that kind of person—full of energy but with nowhere to vent it—she keeps an eye on her children and pressures them to get married!
Wang Yifei was startled, even somewhat frightened.
"Okay, I understand. I'll finish my work here as soon as possible and go home!"
She no longer dared to go out and have fun.
Because her mother, Liu Xiaoli, might actually arrange for her to go on blind dates.
But she's only nineteen this year, not even twenty yet.
Well, when she turns twenty, she'll be of legal marriage age. It seems like if she starts dating now, she can get married next year.
What should we do? (End of Chapter)
