Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 2: Gold coins exploded already?

Liu Yifei is not unfamiliar with this [Fairy Counterattack System].

Two months ago, this [Heavenly Fairy Counterattack System] came upon her.

Mistaking her at 19 for her 38, which was originally a cutscene reviewing history, became a 'prophecy' of some major turning points in her future.

At first, Liu Yifei didn't believe a single word of the 300-word 'prophecy'.

Will my Japanese album sales be worse than singles, or even fail to make it to the Oricon charts for a week?
Can I get that rumored Sino-US blockbuster production and work with Jackie Chan and Jet Li?
I'm still single at thirty-eight?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
then……

The Japanese album was released within a few days, and as expected, it didn’t make the charts.

The Mandarin albums released previously performed quite well.

Sony Music also held a celebration party for her to celebrate her 60 sales.

But these 60 are the shipment volume of Sony Music. So far, there has been no news of reprinting, which means that there are still a large number of albums in the inventory of audio-visual stores.

Her mother didn't tell her, but she could guess that the next album that was originally planned would probably not be released.

Perfectly in line with the system's predictions!

At this point, Liu Yifei had no choice but to trust the system.

Her future really needs a counterattack!

The thousands of words of awards were finally rolled out, and new text appeared in the system again.

[After that incident, you two never had another chance to be alone together. You've already made a successful comeback in the TV drama field, and now you need to make a comeback in the film field. Please take the initiative to reconnect with Gu Bei.]

[Task objective: Add Gu Bei on WeChat]

[Task Reward: One random draw opportunity from the Entertainment Treasure House]

The mission was actually triggered!
Liu Yifei's delicate eyes revealed surprise.

In the two months since she obtained the system, she had only triggered three tasks.

Even at the recent Golden Eagle TV Festival, where many stars gathered, she did not meet anyone who could trigger the mission.

But the man in front of me can!
As expected of a person with thousands of words in his title, he will probably be a top director comparable to Zhang Yimou in the future.

The task seemed quite simple, as long as she took the initiative to reestablish contact.

but……

What is WeChat?
There was a big question mark in Liu Yifei's mind.

“She seems to be a rich woman!”

Gu Bei was also carefully looking at the fellow villager in front of him.

She has beautiful eyes and fair skin, which means she is most likely a beauty.

In front of her was a cup of coffee with 'Crystel' written on it.

It's a rather uncommon English name, no wonder the Starbucks employee spelled it wrong.

This kind of English name is generally preferred by "ex-immigrants". Second-generation immigrants rarely give themselves this kind of name because they are more likely to be bullied.

Gu Bei also noticed that the book she was reading was a drama-related book.

Art major + international student + beautiful woman = rich woman
Gu Bei's heart suddenly moved.

He just needed a wealthy woman to donate generously.

Cheating... No, it should be said that it is to deceive local wealthy women in New York, which is risky.

The family has a dedicated lawyer, and with just one phone call, Gu Bei might end up in court.

But if you are fooling international students, the risk will be much smaller.

The other person's parents live far away, so the probability of discovery will be much lower.

Even if they are discovered, they will not directly find a lawyer, but will generally choose to resolve the issue through negotiation.

Gu Bei is only short of money now. Once the royalties arrive next month, all his problems will be solved.

It's time for me to work hard again!

"Do you know me? Did you just attend my new book reading?"

Gu Bei waved his hand in front of Liu Yifei.

what?
Distracted!
Liu Yifei came to her senses and realized that she had been staring at the other person.

She felt a little embarrassed, and her eyes drifted to the side, just in time to see the blue book opposite.

"Is this the book you wrote?"

Liu Yifei blurted out.

At the same time, she gave herself a thumbs-up in her heart, and it was just right for her to establish a connection with him through the book he wrote.

I am really too scheming!
What Gu Bei heard was a soft and tender baby voice.

The most important thing is that the other person speaks very standard Mandarin. He is definitely an international student!
Whether you are a first- or second-generation immigrant, it is difficult to maintain fluent Mandarin in an English-speaking environment.

Gu Bei held the book upright and showed Liu Yifei the side with the title.

"A new book that just came out yesterday."

"The Fault in Our Stars, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar!" Liu Yifei took a look at the title and immediately understood where it came from. She had just rehearsed this play two days ago.

This reaction speed once again verified Gu Bei's guess.

The title of this book comes from the second scene of "Julius Caesar". The original text is "People can control their own destiny. If we are controlled by others, the fault is not fate (star luck), but ourselves."

To know such unpopular lines,
The other person is not an art student, he eats!

"It's very interesting. Do you want to read it? This is a love story between a boy and a girl with cancer, and it's about the proposition of life and death." Gu Bei handed over the book.

Liu Yifei instinctively wanted to refuse.

She is still wary of strangers.

But after hearing Gu Bei's introduction,
Especially regarding such a grand proposition as 'life and death',

A hint of curiosity arose in her heart, but she let down her guard and took the book.

"It's not a tragedy, is it?"

"I won't spoil the story, but... I hope you don't cry too hard!"

"I certainly won't!"

Liu Yifei's unyielding spirit came up and she said it with confidence.

Gu Bei didn't say anything, just smiled confidently.

At the new book reading just now, the tear-jerking rate of this book was 100%!

This look made Liu Yifei grit her teeth and she felt like hitting someone.

Depression is a side effect of death. Cancer is a side effect of death. Seriously, pretty much everything is!

The opening paragraph instantly made Liu Yifei feel involved in the story.

What followed was a mutual aid meeting, where various young people with cancer came to life on paper, making her feel the breath of death coming towards her.

Liu Yifei quietly turned the page.

“Is cancer really that scary?”

Her tone was no longer as lively as before, but rather a bit deeper.

"I used to volunteer at a children's hospital. Death is equal to everyone, even if they are just children."

This is Gu Bei's real experience, and it is also the reason why he likes this book.

His original purpose of volunteering was just to apply to a prestigious university.

But that experience became the most memorable day for him in New York!
Liu Yifei is not very content when reading, and occasionally asks questions at strange angles.

Gu Bei was reading her professional drama book and responded casually.

The two of them chatted casually.

Occasionally, some information outside the book is also involved.

Gu Bei noticed that Liu Yifei's mood had fallen into depression.

He felt it was about cooked.

I am here to solicit investments, and my identity as a writer is just an endorsement.

So he pulled the book out of Liu Yifei's hand and said jokingly, "The following content is all paid content!"

"No~"

Liu Yifei was still immersed in the story.

She looked at the book in Gu Bei's hand, thinking about it: "Why don't you sell this book to me?"

"Thank you for the price of $14.99, and it comes with the author's autograph!"

"Wow, so you're here to sell books!"

"Have no idea!"

Gu Bei pretended to be worried and said, "All my money has been invested in the short film, and it's snowing heavily in New York again. I'm worried about what to do with the overspending.

Then I can not only sell books myself, but also sell them myself!"

Sounds like tea!

Next time I have to unlock the maximum level of the best actor skill first.

"How about...I invest in your short film!"

Ok?
Is this the gold coin explosion?
