Zhang Yuanjun was a little embarrassed to tell Liu Yifei that he couldn't come to his birthday party on the 25th.
On the morning of the 23rd, Liu Yifei specifically confirmed with him and Zhu Yawen that they must come. Zhang Yuanjun promised well at that time.
In the afternoon, he received a call from home, saying that his parents were celebrating their 50th birthday on the 25th and wanted him to go back.
According to custom, children cannot hold birthday banquets while the old man is still alive.
Therefore, the Zhang family did not have a big event this time. They only set up two family banquet tables in their own courtyard for the whole family to have a meal together and have a good time.
Those who came to participate were Zhang Yuanjun's peers, that is, the nephews and nephews of Zhang Yuanjun's father and Zhang's mother. Most of Zhang Yuanjun's uncles and aunts would not come.
Neither Zhang's father nor Zhang's mother's birthday falls on the 25th, so they just chose a day when their nephews and sons are still at home for summer vacation.
"You go ahead and tell me, I won't go." Xiao Zhao refused to explain to Liu Yifei on Zhang Yuanjun's behalf.
"I'll tell her she will lose her temper with me." Zhang Yuanjun gave her an idea, "In this case, don't tell her in advance. You bring a gift on the 25th and tell her when you get there. She will understand."
Zhang Yuanjun must give up Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony and go home.
At noon the next day, Zhang Yuanjun took the only flight to Luling that day.
During the two-hour flight, Zhang Yuanjun thought about it and decided to tell Liu Yifei personally.
As soon as he got off the plane, he called Liu Yifei.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you so noisy over there?" Zhang Yuanjun said.
"I'm at the State Guesthouse now. I came to take a look in advance." Liu Yifei over there said, "I have arranged a good seat for you, right in the middle of the third row. Come early tomorrow."
Zhang Yuanjun was a little speechless, but he still said: "I can't come tomorrow."
There was no sound from the other side.
"Hello? Hello? Yifei, are you listening?"
Only then did Liu Yifei say: "Didn't we all agree that as Yang Guo you still have to go on stage to give me a gift!" Liu Yifei was definitely not willing.
"My parents' 50th birthday is tomorrow, and I have gone home now." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Ah!" Liu Yifei's frustration and dissatisfaction were swept away and she said in surprise, "My uncle and aunt also have their birthdays tomorrow, so happy birthday to my uncle and aunt! If you didn't tell me earlier, I would buy a gift for you to take back if you didn't tell me earlier. .”
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "It's funny. It's my parents' birthday. What kind of gift did you give me?"
Liu Yifei's face over there was already red because of her quick talk, and she quickly said: "We are good friends. Last time your mother invited me to dinner, I didn't even thank you. Why did I give you a gift?"
Zhang Yuanjun said: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll get in the car and go home."
"Um."
"Happy birthday."
"Well, thank you." Liu Yifei on the opposite side responded softly.
That night, birthday banquets were held simultaneously in the small town of Luling and in the capital.
It was just an ordinary family dinner here in Luling. Zhang Leping couldn't come back in time, but Zhang Yuanying had already come back. There were more than 20 people at two tables, large and small, running around the room, making it very lively.
After dinner, fireworks were set off until evening.
After all the guests were sent away, Zhang Yuanying and Zhang Yuanjun formally presented their gifts.
The gift for my father was a high-end watch, and the gift for my mother was a set of jewelry.
It's a bit vulgar, but to show filial piety at this time, it should be vulgar.
"The three of us pooled our money together to buy this," Zhang Yuanying said.
After receiving the gift, my parents were very happy and said good things: "Okay, okay, you are all sensible now."
The Zhang family had nothing to talk about, so they went to Fangfeiyuan, the State Guesthouse in the capital.
Tonight’s “Crystal Princess Feiyue 18th” birthday party has attracted a lot of media coverage.
There are few celebrities in the entertainment industry who would hold such a high-profile birthday party.
Previously, just after the completion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there was news that Liu Yifei was going to sign a contract with Sony, and it was also said that Sony's staff visited Jiuzhaigou to win over Liu Yifei.
The news was confirmed by Liu's mother in May.
Therefore, today's banquet is not only to celebrate Liu Yifei's 18th birthday, but also to celebrate Liu Yifei's signing with Sony and her official entry into the music scene.
The signing ceremony with Sony was held first. Liu Yifei said: "I have to study music in Japan for half a year, so I may stop acting for a while, but I still like acting very much, so I will not give up and will I will do my best in both acting and singing, and live up to everyone’s expectations of me.”
At the signing ceremony, she bluntly stated that her favorite singer is Wang Fei: "I have liked her since I was a child, she is really amazing, and Lin Xi, her lyrics are always so romantic. In fact, I also have some rock and roll skills, so in the future I’ll also try rock songs.”
If Liu Yifei debuted as an idol, she would have been invincible just by virtue of her face, but as a singer, her voice is indeed not outstanding.
Yu Junjian, director of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Performing Arts Center who attended the banquet, couldn't even find a place to praise singer Liu Yifei. He could only say: "Liu Yifei has caught up with a good era. According to what I heard, she doesn't sing out of tune. This is what makes a good singer." An important condition.”
It's an exaggeration.
After the simple signing ceremony, the venue was slightly decorated and the birthday party began.
At the banquet, many guests performed on stage and sent gifts and blessings.
Liu Yifei also gave a carefully prepared song and dance performance for the congratulatory relatives and friends at the scene, pictured above.
Won applause and cheers from the audience.
On the stage, she thanked her mother, the company, her classmates and friends, and finally said: "I am also very grateful to Sony for preparing this birthday party. This is my most unforgettable night."
"Huh?" Zhu Yawen and others sitting in the audience were puzzled, "Sony prepared it? Didn't you say that Chen Jingfei did it? He spent 1.8 million and said yes."
Liu Yifei's words completely wiped out Chen Jingfei's painstaking marketing efforts. I don't know whether she did it on purpose or accidentally.
Chen Jingfei is just messing with Sony.
Chen Jingfei's face changed slightly in the audience, but he soon smiled again.
Liu Yifei stepped off the stage and the banquet officially began.
Liu Yifei held a wine glass - which actually contained sparkling water - and her mother greeted the guests table by table.
Mother and daughter were very happy.
When she arrived at the classmate's table, Liu's mother smiled and said: "Sissi is the youngest in the class. Thank you for your tolerance and care over the past few years. Auntie would like to propose a toast to you. Let's eat well, drink well and have fun tonight."
The students all responded with a smile.
"Hey? Why didn't Xiao Zhang come today?" Liu Xiaoli noticed that Zhang Yuanjun was missing from the table.
The classmates at the table actually didn’t know why Zhang Yuanjun didn’t come.
Liu Yifei said: "He has something to do at home and has gone back. He told me on the phone yesterday."
"Oh, that's it." Liu Xiaoli didn't take it to heart, "You guys eat slowly."
After that, he took his daughter to the other side.
In the interview after the banquet, an indifferent reporter asked Liu Yifei how she dealt with the rumors when she was 18 years old. Liu Yifei said: "Since my debut, negative news has not stopped. Even when foreign magazines introduced me, they wrote Liu Yifei, the negative actor, and my mother has always been worried about me, but I think I can still bear all this, maybe because of my personality. As a person in the entertainment industry, I should also be able to bear this."
This birthday party was grand, but it would eventually bring trouble to Liu Yifei.
So, Liu Yifei is 18 years old!
