  Looking back at Chinese movies in recent years, every now and then there's a romantic comedy that becomes a huge hit.

  This time the explosive romance film is "Love Notebook".

  This film was released on August 7th, with a first-day box office of 210 million, and a first-week box office of 1.05 billion. By the time the film ended its run, it had grossed a total of 2.1 billion at the box office.

  The film cost no more than 30 million, but it brought a return of over twenty times that amount to each investor.

  Li Zhenze, who initially rejected this movie, was so angry that he vomited blood. In the entertainment industry, there are two types of good resources: one is high-end, such as a big director's film or award-winning works; the other is explosive hits like "Love Notebook" which cost 30 million but earned 2.1 billion at the box office. The former is elegant, but the latter is what real audiences will pay for to watch in theaters.

  Li Zhenzhe got the male lead in "Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum", but this commercial special effects film has a long production cycle and won't be released until next year.

  Li Zhenze couldn't help but think that if he had chosen to take on the role in "Love Notebook" from the beginning, then he would be the box office guarantee for a 2.1 billion RMB blockbuster now.

  He certainly wants to tear down Wei Xun, but the current Wei Xun has already formed a good reputation, with a strong foundation and excellent word of mouth, as well as impressive box office results and the prestige of being a Golden Horse Award-winning actor.

  Scandals didn't bring him down, marriage didn't cool him off either. After marriage, a crappy movie still managed to rake in 2.1 billion at the box office. This Wei Xue is really terrifying, because all obstacles in front of him have been cleared away. Unless Wei Xue is stupid enough to cheat or get into drugs, no one can shake him.

  Li Chenze looked at Wei Xun like this, and after struggling in this circle for more than ten years, he suddenly had a feeling of being helpless.

  A romantic comedy with a budget of 300 million and a box office of 2.1 billion was born, and its reputation is unusually good. People who have seen the film praise it for being well-made and having great performances from the lead actors, even if it's just a commercial blockbuster. The voices criticizing it as a bad movie are very few.

  As for this, insiders naturally can't help but analyze the reasons behind the film's explosion in popularity.

  Relaxed and hilarious, character setting is piercing, warm and healing, male and female leads are acting well...

  Reasons were listed one after another.

  But for the producers, they seem to have found a magic formula for box office success.

  Wei Xun, from the beginning of his debut, every work he starred in has been a huge success in both reputation and box office, it seems that he has become a guarantee for box office success. At one time, scripts were constantly being sent to Wei Xun's company, just hoping that he could see them and participate.

  It's only a matter of time before, with her exquisite acting skills, she makes a silly and sweet character so lovable and nuanced that the entire network praises her. As a result, this female star, who had somewhat faded from the spotlight due to her studies, suddenly becomes a huge hit. This time, it's not because of her marriage to Wei Xun, but because of her work.

  And let's not forget, "Love Letter" is essentially a chick flick, leaning towards female audiences. In the film industry, female artists have much less space to choose from compared to male artists. The only films that offer substantial roles for actresses are chick flicks. With "Love Letter", her path to stardom has already been paved, and she's now flooded with movie offers.

  However, both Wei Xun and Chi Zao are cautious people, now that they have gained fame, they naturally cherish their reputation.

  After marriage, they need to balance their career, love and family relationship. They both hope to spend more time with their family, but on the other hand, they are still young and have their own pursuits and dreams, and also want to work hard for their careers.

  So they discussed their future directions with each other and tacitly decided that from then on, they would choose good teams and good scripts, only producing high-quality works.

  After "Love Notebook" was released, the subsequent box office revenue sharing began to be settled, and Wei Xing... became rich overnight.

  His account had an additional income of as much as 70 million.

  Initially, "Love Notebook" had an investor withdraw temporarily, and Wei Xi used his own salary to make up for the investment. He also got a 10% share of the profits, which was a full-channel share, meaning that when the movie was shown overseas or sold to TV stations or playback software, Wei Xi could still get subsequent income.

  Wei Xuan made a lot of endorsements this year and even recorded an outdoor variety show, but the money he earned was not as much as 70 million. He realized that he had inadvertently invested in a movie that made more than what he earned from being busy for a whole year. Wei Xuan suddenly became aware of something and had even greater ambitions for his future.

  After receiving this huge sum of money, Wei Xun habitually transferred half of it to the head of household No. 1, sooner or later.

  It was only a matter of time before he received the text message, and when he saw the huge sum of money that Wei Xi had transferred to him, he rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen it wrong, that there was an extra zero, but after double-checking, he realized it was true - 350 million.

  Wei Xun is now indeed popular to the point of being purple, but his work in the second half of the year only includes a few endorsements and one "Dusk", the TV series has not been filmed yet, so the remuneration is naturally not there, and whether it's a TV series or endorsement, Wei Xun has to share with the company, he can't make 70 million yuan all at once.

  "It's about time you went and asked Wei Xi: 'Did your dad give you money?'"

  This is the only explanation, Wei Xiu's family is particularly wealthy. If Wei Cheng really wants to give money to Wei Xiu, it's not just 70 million, but even 700 million is possible.

  Not to mention anything else, just the real estate that Wei Cheng gave to Xiao Wei for her to live in, any one of those villas is worth hundreds of millions.

  It was only after attending a 100-day banquet for a wealthy family's daughter that I realized just how rich China's wealthy people are.

  Wei Xi heard this and gave Chi a white look, saying: "How is that possible? This is what I earned myself!"

  It will be solved sooner or later.

  Wei Xi told Chi Zao about the 10% of the box office revenue from "Love Notebook".

  It's all about the mindset, but I feel like I'm exhausted from working hard to make a movie and only earning 3 million, while Wei Xiao just treats his salary as an investment and ends up making ten times more, it's like he's selling arms or something.

  It's only a matter of time before people realize that although actors make money, the entertainment industry is insignificant in scale compared to China as a whole. The truly wealthy are those who play with capital, and these small-time actors can't even compare.

  "After some deliberation, he proposed: 'Why don't we start a company?'"

  Wei Xun also had such an intention. Although their film remuneration was enough for them to squander, no one would be dissatisfied with the money, and this time 10% of the box office share earned 70 million, which made Wei Xun realize that making money from money was more profitable than simply acting.

  He and Chi are both artists, opening their own studios, being bosses, signing artists, producing TV dramas or movies. If managed well, it's not difficult to make money, and relatively more free, this is also the path that many stars have taken, they are not the first ones to eat crabs.

  Wei Xi agreed: "Let's start with your name, my current contract is still with Pin You Entertainment, and I'm still very happy to cooperate with Pin You Entertainment, and we're already discussing a better contract."

  Wei Xun was once a newcomer in the entertainment industry, relying on the company's support. The contract for newcomers was extremely harsh, and once signed, it was a seven-year bond.

  He is now extremely popular, and his income has also increased gradually. The original contract was too exploitative for him, so he proposed to change the contract with the company, and the big boss Luo Chuang also agreed. The new contract is currently being negotiated, and the specific details will be finalized slowly.

  Wei Xiu, who has changed his contract, will only earn more than now. Not to mention anything else, he currently has a dozen endorsements a year. With the new contract, the money he gets will only be more.

  "Alright," Chi said with a smile, "I'll go register a company as soon as I think of a good name. I'll give you half the shares."

  Wei Xun leaned over and kissed Chi Zao lightly on the lips, subconsciously refusing: "No need, it's yours anyway."

  "Sooner or later, I'll smile slyly: 'Although mine is also yours, but still give you half of the shares, just as a pocket money for my husband.'"

  Although Chi Yao can support herself, her income is really not as high as Wei Xun's. This year, Wei Xun has already given her tens of millions in pocket money.

  Now she wants to use Weixu's pocket money to start a company and give Weixu half of the shares, which is only natural.

  But saying it's pocket money is just a cover-up.

  Wei Xi pressed her lips into a smile and finally accepted with pleasure: "Okay! Give me half of the shares!"

  He and Chi are both people who don't have a good concept of money. When they're together, they won't keep track of it clearly, let alone care about who spends more or less.

  Anyway, work hard to make money and then squander it together, indulging in luxury and extravagance.

  Starting a company is also for making more money to spend.

  Wei Xi readily accepted his own pocket money, at this time he didn't think that the company would become so big in the future, and also cover film, clothing, beauty and other industries.

  Years later, he discovered that he had picked up a treasure, his daughter-in-law was very capable of making money.

  He casually promised Wei Xun half of his new company's shares and then began to outline the model for her company.

  She will continue acting and will never give up fashion design, she will work hard to balance both, so her initial idea for her own company is the two major areas of clothing and film.

  But it's still a long way off for now, so she just casually thinks about it.

  Wei Xun thought of something, he hugged Chi Zao, rested his head on Chi Zao's shoulder and said in a spoiled tone: "We haven't gone out to play for a long time! The National Day is coming soon, I can take half a month off by taking some days off from work, we can find a place to spend the holiday for half a month, and then go back to the crew to shoot."

  "Sooner or later some worries: 'Where's baby?'"

  "Wei Xi said: 'There's a nanny watching her, and her grandfather just moved to Hangzhou, so he'll take care of her for half a month!'"

  After hesitating for a moment, he agreed: "Okay."

  It's true that she really loves her little daughter, after all, the flesh and blood that fell from her own body, it's impossible not to love, but, well, during the period when she was breastfeeding, she took care of her more, later on, after the baby weaned, it was basically the nanny and Wei Xiong who took care of her, and she only played with her occasionally.

  She loves the baby, and she also loves Wei Xi. She and Wei Xi still need to have their own marital life, can't just live without any romance because of the baby!

  So, Wei Xun and I are going on vacation together anyway.

  **

  Wei Xun and Chi Zao's vacation finally settled on a private island in the Maldives.

  The private plane sent the two to a small island, and after getting off the plane, they walked towards the villa in the countryside style. The staff helped them send their luggage over.

  The entire island is beautiful, with mountains on the island, dense forests on the mountain, and a single villa built on the mountain. In front of the villa, there are large patches of rose flowers, which are in full bloom, swaying gently in the sea breeze, emitting a strong fragrance. At the end of the rose flower sea, there is a sandy beach, the sea surface, and the blue sky with white clouds...

  Tropical island, abundant sunlight, under intense light, the entire island is as beautiful as a painting.

  Beautiful scenery always makes people feel happy and joyful, especially when it comes with sunshine, beaches, coastlines, and seas of flowers.

  As soon as he got off the plane, his eyes lit up.

  Weixi pulled Yizao back into the villa, tidied up a bit, Weixi changed into swim trunks, and Yizao put on a bikini, the two planned to go play by the sea.

  Come to the seaside and play, and it's a private island. Sooner or later, many bikinis will be brought naturally, some are bought, some are designed by themselves, in short, many very beautiful bikinis that are not normally worn.

  At this moment, I casually changed into a new set and started applying sunscreen soon after.

  She did a great job of sun protection, so she applied two layers of Anessa sunscreen and finally added another layer of L'Oréal moisturizer. In short, she wished she could soak herself in sunscreen.

  Wei Xuan changed into his swimsuit and quietly observed her from the side.

  In the daytime, in such abundant light, Chiaki wore only a bikini, her figure was slender and delicate, her skin was white to the point of being reflective, quietly applying sunscreen also had a strange beauty.

  Wei Xun stared blankly at her, suddenly realizing that it had been too long since he had seen such a beautiful body in broad daylight.

  Since having a baby, there are usually nannies and aunts living at home. Wei Xi is very reserved in front of others, but behind their backs, she's quite wild. She's the type of person who keeps things low-key, even when it comes to intimate activities, which only happen quietly in the bedroom at night, no matter how intense they get, always careful not to make a sound.

  Not like before when no one was at home, living room, kitchen, study, balcony, all messed up.

  And besides, daytime declarations of love like this were also common in the past.

  Having a baby, I dare not do anything anymore.

  Now that he's on a private island vacation, Wei Xiao is thinking... he must take advantage of the opportunity to do all sorts of things, otherwise it wouldn't be worth this stolen leisure time.

  It's about time to apply sunscreen, but with a wolf-like gaze from the side, even though they're already married, they should be used to it. However, Chiyeo's face is thin-skinned, and after being stared at by Wei Xue for half a day, she slowly turned red. To cover up her embarrassment, Chiyeo picked up the sunscreen and threw it over, urging: "You apply some yourself, don't get sunburned."

  Wei Xiu lazily said: "Wiped it off."

  He turned his head back in surprise and asked: "When did you wipe it?"

  "I just wiped my face, as for the body, it's too much trouble to apply sunscreen with such a large surface area, I'm too lazy, anyway, as long as my face doesn't get sunburned, it's fine."

  It's just a matter of time before he cracks a smile.

  The movie emperor is really bad!

  As an actor, he surprisingly doesn't pay much attention to sun protection.

  Although Wei Xun is rough, he loves sports and has a large amount of exercise. He's only 22 years old, which is the age when young people have fast metabolism, so he still looks handsome as he should be.

  But sooner or later, she thinks Wei Xi is a bit whiter and quite handsome, especially when he gets tanned to a wheat color, she would be a bit displeased.

  She then decided to urge her brother Wei Xi to apply sunscreen, so she pushed him and said: "Don't be lazy, apply sunscreen! UV rays are the biggest enemy of skin aging, do a good job of sun protection and your skin will be fine!"

  Wei Xiu was lazy to death and didn't want to apply sunscreen, so she didn't say a word and instead picked up her SLR camera to fiddle with it.

  "Be sure to protect yourself from the sun, I like you a bit fairer."

  This works, Wei Xi thinks that as a small wolf dog, he should satisfy his wife's taste in appearance, which also helps with certain aspects of life. So he decided to apply sunscreen, but he was too lazy to do it himself and instead smiled slyly and invited: "You apply it for me!"

  I knew I had to wait for her here.

  What's sunscreen for?

  She used to shake her head and lose her smile, but she's much more open-minded now that she's a married woman; after all, being too reserved would be pretentious.

  Besides, as Wei Xun's wife, helping her husband apply sunscreen wasn't a big deal, so she applied it liberally and then handed the sunscreen to Wei Xun to finish the job.

  Wei Xiu is really big and tall, with a huge surface area to boot. She's extremely lavish with sunscreen, and it's especially expensive for her. She thinks Wei Xiu can use up more than one bottle of sunscreen at a time. Fortunately, she brought a lot of bottles of sunscreen; otherwise, they wouldn't be enough.

  Wei Xuan then picked up a bottle of sunscreen and said awkwardly: "I'll apply it for you."

  This routine, I've seen it all before, so I just smiled and let him be.

  The two of them were young and full of vigor, and after getting married, they became even more affectionate and clingy. After applying sunscreen together, they both had a radiant and loving appearance.

  They exchanged a glance, and their eyes were filled with ambiguity and flirtation.

  However, applying sunscreen is such a hassle, and they can't just apply it and then wash it off right away, so the young couple just exchanged a flirtatious glance and then seriously headed out to play by the sea.

  She was really afraid of sunburn, her skin was white and easily got sunburned. Moreover, she didn't want to get tanned because of her fair skin. So when going out, she brought sunglasses for herself, wore a shirt, and even held an umbrella. If not for coming to the beach, she would have wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling.

  Wei Xi was more casual, wearing sunglasses, and then the two of them went to play by the sea together.

  Today it's windy and the waves are quite big, Wei Xi is a very bold person, has tried all sorts of thrilling water sports and is good at them, now he's taken his surfboard to go surfing.

  It's inevitable to lie on the recliner and watch, with a parasol casting a shadow, sipping coconut juice and blowing sea breeze, watching Wei Xi play wildly, feeling pretty good.

  Wei Xi played in the sea for half a day, got tired and ran over. He directly picked up Chi Zao from the lounge chair, lay down himself, then let Chi Zao lie on top of him.

  It's already dusk, the sea breeze is gentle and cool, and even though they're stuck together, it doesn't feel hot.

  Wei Xi took a sip of coconut milk, chatted with Chi Zao for a while, and then started kissing him. As they kissed, things gradually got out of hand.

  "This is outside, don't be reckless, I pushed him and emphasized: 'This is outside, don't mess around.'"

  Wei Xiao laughed particularly slyly and wickedly: "There's no one."

  "Sooner or later, there will be some confusion: 'Isn't there staff on the island?'"

  Although it is a private island, there are still staff members to maintain the operation of the island, such as chefs and lifeguards.

  "Don't worry, they are all very professional, if you don't call them, they will never come."

  This is a private island usage right that he traded from Weicheng for half a month, treating his daughter as a bargaining chip. The privacy aspect is still quite reliable.

  It was bound to happen somewhere, Weixu said it was taking her on a trip, but it was just changing places for some action, and this time it was outdoors.

  The extent of someone's foul mouth can be seen from this.

  However, after marriage, Wei Xun naturally indulged in all kinds of things, and in the midst of half-pushing and half-justifying, someone got their way.

  On the island without light pollution, the starry sky is low-hanging, with the entire Milky Way in sight. Countless stars are shining brightly before my eyes, and my eyes are reflecting the dense stars. It should be a bright and sparkling water, but it's always hazy.

  It's just a matter of time before I feel that this night, on the beach, with good wind and water, has an endless beautiful view.

  Finally how to go back.

  He was carried back by Wei Xun.

  She was exhausted to the extreme, so she could only hand herself over to Wei Xun, letting him carry her into the bathroom, roughly removing the sunscreen, and then slowly having a shower.

  In fact, this vacation is just an excuse for indulgence and decadence.

  Every afternoon, Wei Xi would take a simple trip out to sea, go fishing, swimming, take photos and so on. However, by nightfall, it was just a mess of wine and sleep, then wake up again at noon the next day, eat, and head back out... repeating this cycle over and over.

  So-called intoxication with life and infatuation with death is nothing more than this.

  But whether it's Wei Xuan or Chi Zao, they both thoroughly enjoy such a decadent life, without even a hint of worry, just idly spending time with their loved ones, letting time slip away and youth fade.

  And this kind of decadence will only last for half a month, after half a month, the two will enter the group to film "Dusk" and "Love Notebook", unlike short films like "Love Notebook", TV dramas like "Dusk" are filmed together with AB groups, the shooting task is heavy, at that time the two will be extremely busy, and absolutely busy to no time for hanky-panky.

  So go and cherish.

  On the island, she didn't know what year it was, and she spent her days in a daze, too decadent and depressed to keep track of time.

  That evening, Wei Xi didn't casually wear beach pants or swim trunks like he usually did. Instead, he solemnly put on a white suit, styled his hair with wax, and combed it meticulously.

  She also put on a white close-fitting long dress with a strong sense of design and futurism to match his suit.

  The staff on the island set up a table for two on the beach, and on the dinner table was a Western-style meal carefully prepared by the chef, accompanied by an expensive bottle of red wine.

  It was only a matter of time before Chi and Wei Xi spent so long on the island, every day just changing scenes, all along not taking it to heart. Now that Wei Xi rarely took it to heart, Chi felt quite rare, but she still accepted it gladly, sitting across from him, sharing dinner together.

  After dinner, Wei Xi brought over a cake, and it wasn't until then that Chi realized today was her birthday.

  She is 21 years old.

  It's not that she's big-hearted, but rather that she's been really decadent lately. All she does is bang bang bang, which has made her completely lose track of time and not even notice that today is her birthday.

  "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear [name]! Happy birthday to you!"

  Wei Xi sang "Happy Birthday" to Zhi Zao, then smiled and looked at him: "Make a wish! Zhi Zao!"

  The starry sky poured down, the entire island was a soft silver white, the candlelight on the birthday cake flickered, casting a gentle glow on Wei Xiao, this man walking slowly towards him was handsome beyond belief.

  He is a man who can accompany her in darkness and decadence, as well as in sanctity and cleanliness.

  He likes heavy flavors and can also play with light freshness, and switching between the two is perfectly harmonious.

  It's only a matter of time before you think that Wei Xiu is getting more and more adorable, the more you interact with him, the more you feel he's awesome.

  She couldn't help but laugh out loud, then clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish on her 21st birthday: "To spend the rest of my life with Wei Xun."

  Make a wish on your birthday and blow out the candles soon.

  I thought this would just pass like this, today is mainly for celebrating birthday.

  Wei Xun suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a simple and unadorned but ancient and dignified ring, and began to propose: "Sooner or later, marry me!"

  "Ha ha, I'm already married to you, aren't I?"

  The evidence is clear, what else do you want?

  "Wei Xiu didn't care about these things, and said to himself: 'Sooner or later, this is a lifelong promise. I, Wei Xiu, will protect you, take care of you, and pamper you until the day I leave this world. I will show you the picturesque rivers and mountains, and show you the vibrant fireworks. So, marry me, quickly!'"

  It was really ridiculous that she was already married, but Wei Xi still solemnly proposed to her.

  But she had been with Wei Xuan for a long time, and Wei Xuan's little thoughts were not unfamiliar to her. This was him making up for the proposal he missed last year.

  What was originally a cheerful atmosphere suddenly felt particularly sentimental, she covered her mouth and her eyes turned red.

  But that moment was too happy, she didn't want to cry, so even with tears in her eyes, she smiled and handed over her hand, raised her chin, and commanded proudly: "I agree to marry you, put the ring on me!"

  Wei Xi very seriously put the ring on his left ring finger.

  Her fingers were slender, but the ring was a bit big, and the size didn't match at all. However, Wei Xu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and he seriously put the ring on Chi Zao's finger. Then, in a calm tone, he explained: "This ring was passed down from my great-grandmother, and last time at Baby's 100th day banquet, Wei Cheng gave it to me and told me to give it to you. You can keep it from now on!"

  This ring may not be particularly expensive, but it is a family heirloom passed down through the Wei family. In some sense, this is a kind of recognition of one's noble status.

  The city guard finally acknowledged this daughter-in-law sooner or later.

  The tears that had been welling up in his eyes finally fell, not because of this recognition, but because of Wei Xiao's thoughts.

  Wei Xun is a very proud person, he and Wei Cheng had a falling out that was almost to the point of hatred, but in order for her to gain recognition from the Wei family, he chose to humble himself and made amends with Wei Cheng.

  This person is sometimes really silly, but also very endearing.

  It was inevitable that I would think this way, so be it. For this lifetime, I'll accompany him in his purity and nobility, as well as in his decadence and downfall.

  Wei Xi saw that she was on the verge of tears, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He got up, leaned over, and kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes. With a stern expression, he commanded: "Don't cry, I proposed to you not to make you cry, but to make you happy and secure for the rest of your life."

  It's about time now that he's a bit cheeky, and immediately responds with a swagger: "In such a sentimental atmosphere, shedding tears is also quite fitting."

  Wei Xi angrily bit her lip.

  His heart was racing fast, "thump thump thump" almost jumping out of his chest.

  She felt particularly lucky that on this day last year, she missed the proposal that should have belonged to her, but fortunately, she had a stroke of good luck and didn't miss Wei Xiao.

  She stood on tiptoe and kissed Wei Xun's lips.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Countless fireworks rose into the sky and burst in the night sky above the sea.

  It was only a matter of time before he realized something and withdrew from Wei Xun's lips to watch the dazzling fireworks.

  This set of routines is ordinary yet extraordinary in hitting people's nerves.

  It was inevitable that she felt these fireworks blooming not only on the sea but also in her heart.

  She lazily leaned on Wei Xun's body, thinking that the picturesque landscape, accompanied by fireworks and starry rivers, he had just made a promise, and then spread it out for her to see.

  At this moment, she is 21 years old, and her life has just begun.

  It should be a very colorful life.

  Wei Xi will make her life colorful.

  The end.

  May we meet in the next world.
