July 13th was Xi Xi's birthday. After this day, Xi Xi would be seven years old and would soon be eight years old!
Of course, Xixi wasn't like her mother, who rolled all over the floor and acted like a spoiled child. The little girl didn't have to worry about the passage of time. She simply thought about the birthday cake and the exquisite gifts from her parents on her birthday. Thus, she eagerly looked forward to her birthday.
A few days before her birthday, the little girl began to hum a song impatiently and jump around at home. When she couldn't wait any longer, she even called Lu Weisha, who was traveling overseas, and repeatedly confirmed the date of her return with her friend.
"You must come back, because, because my PaPa said that he bought me a big cake," Xi Xi said to Lu Weisha happily, "Let's eat the cake together, okay?"
Although Yang Yi promised to hold a small birthday party for Xi Xi, he only invited a few of her friends. Moreover, it was just a simple small activity at home. He did not intend to make a big fuss and wantonly hold a birthday party for Xi Xi.
After all, his identity was different from before. Under the premise that the statistics were not complete and his company had no intention of going public in the near future, his net worth had reached ten billion yuan. Such an identity naturally attracted the covetous eyes of many people who had evil intentions.
The media also used a few photos of Xi Xi secretly taken all day long, saying that the little girl was becoming more and more beautiful as she grew up. Yang Yi was famous for raising children. Through the reactions of some people in the entertainment circle who had come into contact with Xi Xi, Xi Xi's character was extremely good!
Of course, the media would not say it directly, but they always liked to play with words. They vaguely said that based on Yang Yi's net worth, when Xi Xi grew up in the future, she would definitely be the most popular and beloved little princess in the whole of China!
In fact, these did not need to be said when Xi Xi grew up. Below Yang Yi's Microbroadcasting, weren't there always people calling him father-in-law?
If those fans were just joking, then those who had evil intentions were really up to no good!
For Xi Xi's birthday this time, there were several groups of people, including some rich businessmen in Jiangcheng, who contacted Yang Yi through various methods. In a roundabout way, they expressed that they wanted to bring their children to Xi Xi's birthday party to give gifts to the little princess and congratulate her for growing up one year.
Everyone knew what Sima Zhao's intentions were, and Yang Yi also knew these people's intentions.
Of course, these kinds of social interactions were common in the circle of the rich. Those rich people's children's birthdays were extraordinarily grand, as if they were worried that others would not know that there was such a dote on in their family's family. They could not wait to treat their children as exhibits, like walking on a catwalk, wearing an expensive and beautiful custom-made custom-made dress in a circle, under the attention of thousands of people's eyes.
Yang did not have such a problem! Neither did he intend to integrate into the so-called rich circle, nor did he intend to raise his daughter into a soulless vase!
He only hoped that Xi Xi could be simple, like an ordinary child, growing up happily and innocently.
How did ordinary children celebrate their birthdays?
The simplest way was to prepare nothing. There were no gifts, birthday cakes, or anything like that. Only two eggs cooked by their mother in the morning!
Of course, Xi Xi would definitely not agree to this. Moreover, there was no need to "act" so poor. If it was too deliberate, it would seem a little pretentious!
Yang Yi preferred to celebrate Xi Xi's birthday with his family at home. He would prepare a medium-sized birthday cake and a birthday present for Xi Xi. Then, the family would gather together and sing a birthday song for Xi Xi. There was no need for outsiders to participate. The family of four would be warm and happy!
However, there was a problem with this. After all, other children would invite Xi Xi over to play on their birthdays. For example, in May, when it was Lu Xiaoyu's birthday, Xi Xi and Lan Xin also went over to eat cake. Now that it was Xi Xi's birthday, he could not possibly not invite Lu Xiaoyu over to eat cake, right?
Yang Yi did not want Xi Xi to be isolated by her friends. Therefore, he relaxed the conditions and held a small party at home. He also let Xi Xi invite her best friends over to eat cake!
As for other people who wanted to jump up and down, Yang Yi refused all of them. He also asked Lanzhou Kai to help give the villa's security guards a strict order that day. No matter who wanted to find an excuse to sneak in, they would not be allowed to pass.
It was worth mentioning that there were actually many people who sent birthday gifts to Xi Xi. At the gatehouse, the birthday gifts sent by the fans who signed for them almost filled the security guard's house! However, Xi Xi did not know about this at all. She still had a lot of gifts that had not been opened. She asked her father to send them to the Sahara Publishing House and distribute them to her uncles and aunts …
…
However, it did not matter. Sometimes ignorance was a kind of happiness. Xi Xi did not know about the existence of these gifts, so naturally, she did not have the pain of making a choice.
On this day, the little girl ran over mysteriously and climbed onto the sofa. She grabbed her father's shoulders with both hands and leaned close to her father's ear. She giggled and said, "Papa, I found a big secret!"
Without waiting for her father to ask about the secret, she could not wait to say, "That is, that is, I found that Mom seems to be preparing to sing for me!"
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"
He did secretly prepare a song for Xi Xi's birthday with Murphy and had been secretly practicing these days. Of course, Murphy practiced more. After all, she was the lead singer.
"Because I just went to find Mom and saw her singing on the third floor!" Xi Xi seemed to be afraid that others would know. She leaned close to her father's ear and whispered, "Then Mom said that Mom said that I couldn't eavesdrop and that I could only listen in two days!"
The little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement. Obviously, she was very proud of her "great" discovery. "Mom must be singing for me! Because it's my birthday in two days! "
"That's not necessarily true. Mom may just be practicing her singing. She may not necessarily plan to sing on your birthday." Yang Yi smiled and reached out to pinch the little girl's delicate little nose.
"Oh, no. You both sang last time!" Xi Xi wriggled her little body in her father's arms, making her father laugh. "Don't laugh. You have to sing!"
…
The competition in the movie market during the summer vacation was particularly fierce. In addition to the two excellent movies, "Frozen" and "The Shawshank Redemption," some movie companies in this world also released commercial blockbusters one after another. Action blockbusters such as "Assassination Crisis" and "Express Delivery" were also crazily dominating the box office. They formed a strong competition with Yang Yi's two works!
Half a month had passed, and the box office of "Frozen" was still strong. Not only did it not decline as many people had predicted, but because of its good reputation and a relaxing and interesting plot, this animated movie took advantage of the declining box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" to once again take the top spot in the daily box office rankings!
This was definitely a miraculous performance for an animated movie!
Interestingly, the box office performance of "Frozen" was shocking, and the box office performance of "The Shawshank Redemption" was also shocking!
This movie had high hopes in the early days of its release, and even many veteran film critics endorsed it. It also maintained a very high rating on movie rating websites because of its heart-wrenching story.
However, a movie like this was praised for being good, but it wasn't a hit. After a short period of peak box office sales, the movie gradually declined until it lost its number one spot. Then, a few days later, it was overtaken by "Assassination Crisis" …
This kind of abnormal behavior left many people in the film industry puzzled!
This was obviously a very good movie! Why was no one willing to buy tickets to watch it?
In fact, many of the audience's comments had already told them the answer.
"Heartbreaking … This is undoubtedly a good movie, and the story is very profound. However, after watching it, I feel that this is not a commercial movie at all, but a literary film! Every character's story is unforgettable, so I won't spoil it here. "
"I'm very touched and it's worth thinking about. But my girlfriend said that she doesn't like this kind of movie. If only it was as fun as Yang Yi's previous movie, 'The Fugitive!' In comparison, I'd rather take my girlfriend to watch 'Frozen' … "
"This movie's dissection of human nature is too cruel, especially when the protagonist is dealing with the prison guards and helping them evade taxes. Although I know that he was forced to do so, I still feel that he shouldn't have done so. These prison guards should be arrested … Overall, I'm touched, but I'm also depressed. Although, I'm still happy to see the ending!"
Due to the nature of the movie, "The Shawshank Redemption" was hopeless at the box office. However, its performance was still better than in Yang Yi's previous life. After all, it was no longer unknown, and there were still many people who liked this movie who were trying their best to cheer for it.
However, this did not affect Yang Yi much, because the box office earnings of this movie did not have much to do with him. Back then, because Wu Yian had pulled in the investment himself, Yang Yi did not invest in this movie.
On the other hand, "Frozen," which Yang Yi had invested in independently, was an animated movie that no one was optimistic about at the beginning, but it made a lot of money!
