Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 201 How you want to win is entirely up to you, isn't it?

"Maybe...it's related to everyone's been talking about the Oscars lately?"

"is it a lot?"

Han Sanpin was somewhat puzzled.

People his age have been focused on the snow disaster lately.
This once-in-a-century snowfall is more captivating than entertainment news.

“Quite a lot, especially among young people.”

The young assistant emphasized, "Even some of my friends who rarely go to the movies have come to me to ask if there's much hope this time."

"That's a good thing."

Han Sanpin started copying very decisively.

The number of copies was increased from the original 300 to 300 film copies and 500 digital copies, ensuring a large-scale nationwide screening.

A film copy costs 10,000 yuan.
In contrast, the cost of digital copies was negligible, and they filled digital cinemas across the country.

Moreover, most of these newly built or renovated digital cinemas are located in popular business districts in first- and second-tier cities, which is more in line with the target audience of Wraith Band.

After his men left,

Han Sanpin found the latest newspaper and started reading.

The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Why were these media outlets exaggerating like this?
If he weren't an industry insider, he probably would have thought that Gu Bei had already dominated North America and was just waiting to receive his award in two weeks.

After thinking about it,
He waited until evening and then dialed Gu Bei's number.

"Hoohoo!"

Gu Bei stopped his bicycle, panting. "Chairman Han, Happy New Year."

"There are still two days left, and the way you're breathing is..."

"I get up in the morning and ride my bike."

"You are quite leisurely."

Han Sanpin admitted that he had just misunderstood something.

"There's nothing we can do; the writers' strike isn't over yet."

There are people watching the entrance to our company every day; they don't even let you discuss projects, you can only squeeze in some time to practice.

Gu Bei replied with a smile, "Are you here to put pressure on me again?"

Han Sanpin chuckled: "The pressure you're under right now isn't from me, but from the people of the whole country. There's a lot of attention on this topic in China right now."

I plan to increase the number of copies from 300 to 800, which is less than the more than 1,000 for CJ7, but that's about the treatment Hollywood blockbusters get.

"Is this a major concern domestically?"

"Some media outlets are practically praising you to the skies," Han Sanpin said with a smile. "I feel like things aren't quite right right now. Why don't you come out and lower everyone's expectations?"

"Could it be someone did this on purpose?"

Gu Bei immediately understood Han Sanpin's subtext.

Han Sanpin remained silent for a moment, without giving Gu Bei a direct response.

Based on his understanding of the industry, he could easily tell from careful observation that those media outlets that were making unfounded claims and ignoring the facts were all related to Huayi.

But there was nothing he could do about it; he couldn't just stop them from playing their instruments, could he?

"Chairman Han, I understand," Gu Bei said calmly. "Media interviews can be arranged; we'll conduct them via online text."

As for lowering expectations... that's probably not an easy task.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Bei was still pondering.

Praising someone to death is a good method.

People often feel very upset when things don't go as expected.
The two kings of Huayi have given him a difficult problem this time.

but……

Since it's frustrating when things don't go as expected, let's just make sure it meets our expectations!

Chuanzi can win a hundred times in a hundred days.

Most of the awards he nominated had never been won by a Chinese person.
How you want to win is entirely up to you, isn't it?

Within two days,

It was New Year's Eve.

It's still morning in Los Angeles, but back home it's already the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Bei sat at the dining table, texting with relatives and friends in China.

"Yawn~"

He heard the sound and looked up.
Liu Yifei yawned as she walked out of her room, unaware that Gu Bei had arrived. She clearly hadn't had enough sleep, but being woken up by Liu Xiaoli's phone call, she had no choice but to get up.

Gu Bei just stared at her, then sat down opposite him, looking drowsy.

then……

"what!"

Liu Yifei finally found him.

She first covered her face in a panic. If Gu Bei saw her like this in the morning, would he think she was too sloppy?

At the very least, you need to wash your hair, style it, change your clothes, and put on some light makeup...

Thinking of this,

Liu Yifei suddenly felt that there was no need for it anymore.

She went straight to the point: "What are you doing here?"

"It's Chinese New Year, and there are only the three of us in Los Angeles."

Gu Bei said with a smile.

Last year during the Chinese New Year, he was still on the set of Whiplash.

I never imagined that I would spend Chinese New Year with Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli this year.

After a pause, he added, "Hurry up and eat breakfast, I have a surprise for you tonight."

"What surprise?"

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up.

She immediately sat down next to Gu Bei and asked again, "Could you have told me in advance?"

"No way!" Gu Bei ignored her blinking eyes. "What kind of surprise would it be if I told you?"

"Say or not?"

Liu Yifei threatened.

She struck a fierce pose, looking both cute and menacing.

"what--"

Gu Bei didn't take it to heart.
He simply picked up a fried egg and put it into Liu Yifei's mouth.

I cannot waste food!

Liu Yifei opened her mouth, thinking bitterly, then turned around and finished the fried egg in two bites.

After eating,

She was still glaring at Gu Bei with hatred.

But with something in my stomach, my mind gradually cleared, and a flash of inspiration struck me.

Got it!

To deal with Gu Bei, we must use softness to overcome hardness!

Liu Yifei glanced quickly outside.
Liu Xiaoli is still on the phone; it will probably take quite some time.

She gently bit her lower lip, wrapped her arms around Gu Bei's, and shook them: "Tell me~ Tell me~"

Who can stand this?

Gu Bei listened to Liu Yifei's baby voice,
Even without deliberately pinching it, just a simple act of coquetry is enough to break down psychological defenses.

She's really good at this now!

Just as Gu Bei was about to give in,
Liu Xiaoli walked in from outside, holding her phone, and glanced at Liu Yifei, who was acting coquettishly, with a hint of surprise.

It seems to be saying: Is this how you usually get along?

Following Gu Bei's gaze, Liu Yifei turned her head and only made eye contact with Liu Xiaoli before immediately covering her face. She was too ashamed to stay in the room any longer.

Gu Bei could only see that her earlobes were already tinged with red.

After a while,
Liu Yifei guessed that Liu Xiaoli had already left.

She then asked listlessly, "Has Mom left?"

"Aunt Liu left after taking her things."

Gu Bei smiled as he looked at her.
I just think she looks a little too cute.

Liu Yifei then raised her head, her starry eyes widening slightly. She glared at Gu Bei, seemingly blaming him for not informing her in time, which led to Liu Xiaoli seeing such an embarrassing scene.
