After lunch, Yang Qi and Liu Qian returned to their room to practice. It was not until the evening that they were driven by Wang Ya to the reception building in the Magic City.
If Qingzhou Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Qingzhou, then Yingbin Building is the hotel with the highest specifications in Shanghai. Yingbin Building was used to receive foreign guests before, but it was opened to ordinary people after it was opened to the public. The fact that the celebration banquet was held in Yingbin Building shows how much the crew of Three Lives and Destiny valued this celebration banquet.
Wang Ya drove the two of them all the way to the door of the reception building.
"So many reporters?" Yang Qi was stunned when he saw the three layers of reporters outside the reception building. After all, he was not from the entertainment industry, and he was somewhat uncomfortable seeing so many reporters all of a sudden.
"It should be the crew that spread the news of the celebration party." Looking at so many reporters, Liu Qian said calmly. Being in the entertainment industry, she is very familiar with some of the hype techniques in the circle.
There were so many reporters at the celebration party, which was originally a very private event. There was only one possibility, that is, the crew deliberately spread the news of the celebration party to hype up Love of Three Lives. After all, as the highest-grossing movie in China, Love of Three Lives has already attracted a lot of attention. Using this to promote the celebration party might even boost the stagnant box office.
"But it's a good thing that so many reporters showed up. It's a good opportunity to announce that I'm going to retire." Liu Qian said with a calm smile.
Yang Qi glanced at Liu Qian beside him and said softly, "Have you thought it through? In fact, you can wait until the next movie to announce it."
Liu Qian will star in one more movie before ending her acting career. There is no need to announce it so early. After all, it is the most popular time for Love and Destiny, and Liu Qian has also become the most popular star in China. You should know that although Liu Qian has starred in some international blockbusters before, her influence in China may not be much stronger than those young actors.
"No need, I've thought it through clearly." Liu Qian shook her head slightly.
Liu Qian had long thought about using this celebration banquet to announce her temporary departure from the entertainment industry. On the one hand, she could take this opportunity to cultivate with peace of mind, and on the other hand, she could prepare for her last movie. She already had some plans for her last movie, and planned to write, direct, and act in it herself! This would be a perfect end to her acting career!
Phew~
Liu Qian took a deep breath and immediately got out of the car.
"Sissi~"
"I love you."
"Goddess Sissi!"
As soon as Liu Qian got off the car, some fans who had received the news and came nearby immediately cheered. The reporters who were originally guarding the entrance of the reception building also rushed towards where Liu Qian was following the cheers.
Upon seeing this, the security guards at the scene immediately separated Liu Xi and the other two from the crowd to ensure their safety. At the same time, the reporters who had arrived immediately aimed their cameras at Liu Xi.
"Xixi, what do you think of the box office success of Three Lives?"
"Three Lives, Three Worlds" was a big hit at the domestic box office, but received a lukewarm response internationally. As an international superstar, what does Xixi think about this?"
“Does the sudden rise of Three Lives represent the rise of domestic film and television?”
The reporters who gathered around hurriedly asked the questions in their minds.
Three Lives, Three Worlds was a huge hit at the box office, and other characters in the drama were easy to interview, but Liu Qian seemed to have disappeared. This was her only public appearance after the roadshow, and how could so many reporters miss such an opportunity.
"It's really not easy to be a celebrity. You want to be famous when you're not, but life is not easy after you become famous." Looking at the crowded entrance, Yang Qi sighed in his heart.
There was a lot of noise all around, and even as a practitioner, he found it noisy. It would be difficult for ordinary people to remain calm in such an environment, and it was almost impossible to hear the questions from the reporters in the crowd.
"I don't know how Xixi has been getting through these years." Looking at Liu Xi in front of him, Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
Stars appear glamorous on the surface, but how many people know the hardships behind the scenes? Not only do they have to deal with the rules of the circle, but they also have to maintain enough popularity. To achieve all this, it is not enough to rely solely on acting skills.
"My journalist friend, what question did you just ask?" Liu Qian looked at a middle-aged woman and asked softly.
Following Liu Xi's gaze, Yang Qi also saw the middle-aged woman. With his cultivation in the Martial Honor Realm, he certainly remembered what questions the other party had asked. Thinking of the woman's questions, he already understood Liu Xi's next plan.
"Xixi, I would like to ask, now that San Sheng Yuan has achieved such a huge success, what are your plans next?" the middle-aged woman spoke again.
"Next I plan to take a break and recharge for my next movie." Liu Qian said with a smile.
“I wonder what the subject of Sissi’s next movie will be?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that just asking a casual question would actually lead to big news. Liu Xi actually revealed the progress of her next movie. This was the first time Liu Xi said it.
"For my next movie, I plan to write, direct and act in it myself, as my last film before I leave and retire," Liu Qian said with a smile.
Yang Qi, who was standing by, did not feel strange at all when he heard this, because he knew that Liu Qian had already heard the middle-aged woman's interview clearly, and just wanted to use the middle-aged woman's questions to draw out the news that she would quit the entertainment industry.
Written, directed and acted by yourself
Hearing Liu Qian's words, the middle-aged woman's expression suddenly became excited. She was about to continue asking questions when she found that the surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet.
"Eh~ I seem to have overlooked something." The middle-aged woman was startled, and the next moment, she immediately remembered what she had said after she wrote, directed and acted in the film.
"Xixi, are you planning to quit the entertainment industry?" The middle-aged woman exclaimed, looking at Liu Xi in disbelief.
Liu Qian nodded slightly, glanced at the middle-aged woman, and continued, "Yes, I plan to write, direct, and act in my last play, and then leave the entertainment industry!"
Quit the entertainment industry!
After receiving Liu Xi's confirmation, the fans around her fell silent, and the reporters who came to interview her looked at each other in bewilderment. They came to interview Liu Xi, naturally wanting to dig up valuable news. But they never thought that this digging would actually uncover the heavy news that Liu Xi was about to quit the entertainment industry.
This news was definitely unexpected by no one. You know, in the past few years, Liu Xi has experienced the baptism of international blockbusters, and with the popularity of Three Lives, Liu Xi has become the most popular star in the country. But now, this biggest star is actually planning to quit the entertainment industry!
The news coming out of Liu Qian's mouth was like a thunderclap that shocked everyone! (To be continued)
