Chapter 115: The Focus of Everyone's Attention

  Actually, after Yi Feiyang came down from the stage, he was surrounded by many people. Especially those "street circle" people, they were extremely idolizing him. Those who originally didn't care about him in the "second-rate circle" couldn't help but come over, actors saying they hoped to have a chance to collaborate with him, directors saying they hoped to exchange ideas in the future. Of course, those "high-end circles" weren't overly enthusiastic about him, but they also showed friendly greetings.

  Yi Feiyang had originally planned to show off and leave immediately, and at this time Mr. Gusta also hoped he would leave quickly, in rough terms: take the money and get out of here.

  However, the people around him were too enthusiastic, especially a few hot-bodied little stars who wouldn't let go of him.

  Yi Feiyang is a good person, of course, he won't refuse the invitation from beautiful women, so he has to put on a humble appearance and have a heart-to-heart talk with them.

  Since it's a banquet, of course there will be drinking.

  To put it in a trendy way, what we drink is not liquor, but communication.

  This is socializing.

  Just as Yi Feiyang and these women were chattering away, a crimson figure walked over with elegant steps.

  Yi Feiyang's eyes lit up involuntarily, because the other party was actually Mira Jovovich, the Russian beauty who had just "stunned the audience".

  How did she end up coming over?

  Yi Feiyang is very strange.

  What have I done to deserve her favor?!

  In fact, Mira Jovovich had a good impression of Yifeng because both were "foreigners" in the United States and had been subject to American "discrimination".

  Mila was a loner and an outcast from a young age, considered a "foreigner" and "Russian" by her American peers. Her aloofness and loneliness grew in the face of exclusion and discrimination, leading her to devote most of her time to studying dance and performing arts. By 13, she had started playing electric guitar; by 15, she was composing her own music. In 1994, Milla Jovovich released her debut album "The Divine Comedy", which received high praise, with some even comparing her to Hollywood's Mary Bradley, calling them the new American singers of different colors, superstars.

  But who would have thought that just as Mira Jovovich's singing career was going smoothly, she shifted the focus of her career to film, and through her own efforts and struggles, finally became one of today's hottest Hollywood female stars.

  At this moment, with a model-like perfect figure, Mira Jovovich walked up to Yifeng Yang with a wine glass in her hand and lightly opened her red lips: "Hello, Yi, can I invite you for a drink?"

  Mila's arrival made those women lose their luster, and seeing that Mila seemed to have a crush on Yifei Yang, they didn't linger around as light bulbs anymore, each of them flashing away.

  Yi Feiyang didn't expect Mira to come over, and even more so, he didn't expect her to be so proactive in getting along with him. When Gusta introduced them to each other before, he hadn't felt that she was so enthusiastic and proactive either.

  But after all, she is now Hollywood's popular female star, and she should give some face to others.

  "Is it just a cup of wine? Haha, you may have forgotten that I am Chinese. Apart from the world-renowned Four Great Inventions, we also have four other inventions: tea leaves, porcelain, silk and fine wine! So even if we have a few more cups, it's no problem." Yì Fēi Yáng joked with Mira.

  Mira saw how humorous he was, and her originally cold face couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. "Actually, I came over because I really appreciated what you just said, especially the part 'Dreams can be as big as they want, and it's not too big; people chasing dreams can be as small as they want, and it's not too small.' Where did that come from?"

  Wow, this "iceberg beauty" is not simple, but you also underestimate me too much. Would I say that this classic line comes from the previous life's "Turbo Snail"?

  "Heh heh, Miss Mira, what does this sentence mean?" Yi Feiyang made a face as if he didn't understand.

  Mira Jovovich carefully observed Yi Fei Yang's expression, seeing that he didn't seem artificial, before saying: "Sorry, Yi. It's just that your words were really too profound, only those great Western philosophers and writers could say something like that, so I had my doubts... I'm truly sorry."

  "Oh, it's okay, I'm used to being misunderstood. However, there's one thing I want to clarify: the profound principles I mentioned earlier aren't exclusive to Western philosophers or literary giants. Our Eastern heritage, particularly China's 5,000-year-old wisdom, can interpret them even more thoroughly. It's just that... " Yì Fēi Yáng shook his head, "For many people, Chinese culture is too vast and profound. Take the straightforward phrase from earlier, for example - 'Safety' can be replaced with an ancient Chinese saying: 'The heavens move in constant cycles; a gentleman must strive to improve himself without ceasing!'"

  Yi Feiyang's words were sonorous and powerful. Mira couldn't help but recite: "The heavens are vigorous, the gentleman constantly strives to improve himself?"

  "Yes, for us Chinese people, whether big or small, we should all have great ambitions and strive with an unrelenting spirit to pursue our dreams."

  "I have to admit, I know very little about your Chinese culture."

  "Hehe, no worries, if you have time, you can read more books about China, that way, you will have a better understanding of our culture."

  "Hmm, now that you mention it, I'd like to ask for your recommendation. After all, as people like us know, private time is scarce, so it has to be something top-notch, right?"

  Yi Feiyang casually said, "If you want to understand China, you must read three books. The first is 'Tao Te Ching', the second is 'The Art of War' and the third is 'Zizhi Tongjian'!"

  "The 'Zizhi Tongjian' almost covers the nearly thousand-year history of China from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, especially in terms of politics, it can be said that it is authoritative; The 'Art of War' by Sun Tzu, although a military work, actually summarizes the development history of our Chinese economy. You know, before the troops move, food and grass go first, whether ancient or modern, war is about economics; Finally, the 'Tao Te Ching' is the cultural heritage of our entire Chinese nation, no matter how much suffering our country and nation endure, as long as this cultural heritage remains, it will stand forever!"

  "So, if you really want to understand China, then read these three books. By the time you've finished reading them, you'll also understand China, Chinese people, why we were able to establish such a long-lasting civilization in the East, and why we can go through so many ups and downs yet still thrive."

  These words were spoken by Yifeiyang in a very calm tone, without much grandeur or fanfare, nor did he clench his fists and shout, but from Yifeiyang's sharp eyes, Mira Jovovich saw the hidden pride and arrogance.

  As a female star who immigrated from Russia to the United States, Mira has never had the concept of "country" and "nation" in her mind. If she says nation, she should be Russian, if she says country, she should be American... This ambiguous situation makes her really don't know which side to love.

  Yi Feiyang's national pride and love for his country just now made Mira feel a little envious and jealous.

  Of course, apart from this, Yi Feiyang also gave Mira a very deep impression, being erudite and talented, especially his mastery of Chinese culture, which made Mira admire him even more. Until now, Mira has not memorized Whitman's "Leaves of Grass", nor has she ever read Pushkin's "Poetry Collection". Her life is only about acting and singing.

  "Thank you, Yi, thank you for introducing me to these books. If I have time, I will read them, yes, definitely!" Mira Jovovich smiled.

  ……

  Not far away, Yi Feiyang's two arch-enemies, Dennis and Edouard, who were also two jinxed men, looked at Yi Feiyang being surrounded by a group of women and couldn't help but sneer: "This Chinese Yi is just this level, a bunch of mediocre women!"

  After a while, this group of "庸脂俗粉" left and was replaced by Milla Jovovich. The two guys were secretly envious, everyone knew that this beauty was Hollywood's famous "iceberg beauty", always disdainful of people, especially men, but now...

  "Damn it! If he hadn't stolen our movie's copyright, we should be the ones creating miracles!"

  "Yes, if it weren't for this damn guy opposing us everywhere, our 'Witch 2' wouldn't have lost so badly!"

  "That damned guy, I must think of a way to deal with him!"

  "What's your bright idea?"

  "Well, as a matter of fact, I do have one..." Dennis said with an evil grin.

  ……

  "Hey, buddy, will this do?" Edyardo asked Dennis, who was adding mixers to his drink.

  "How can it not work? The powder from this fantasy paradise was found with great difficulty, and if that despicable guy drinks this cup of wine, hehe, he will do very crazy things in front of everyone!"

  "What will he do?"

  "What's your take? When a man is being romantic, what elegant moves can he make?"

  "Damn it, it can't be..."

  "Haha, got it! Anyway, that damned movie company of his is called Dream Illusion Films. Now that he's drinking this cup of Dream Heaven, I'd say it's a fitting revenge!"

  "Dennis, you're so bad! I'm really looking forward to seeing that Chinese guy make a fool of himself!"

  "Don't be so anxious, as long as he drinks this cup of wine, we will regain our dignity, and he will become the headline of tomorrow's major newspapers, and his reputation will be ruined!"

  "But how can we get him to drink this cup of wine? We're not on good terms with him!"

  "Ha, buddy, now it's time to show off our acting skills. Yes, the moment to prove our abilities has arrived. Now, let's get into action!"
