Chapter 205 Global Spokesperson

"There are so many!"

Liu Yifei was slightly surprised when she heard the number.

This opening at the box office is much stronger than in North America.

However, other places cannot achieve such a long-running screening as North America.

"People in South Korea are under a lot of pressure. They've become abnormal from the oppression. Maybe they empathize with Fletcher in the movie."

"Don't say that in the media."

Liu Yifei actually somewhat agreed with Gu Bei's words.

When she first came to North America, she was bullied by Korean female classmates at school.
However, she was well aware of the dangers of media scrutiny and knew that such words should never be mentioned in the media, otherwise it would cause a huge uproar.

"Listen to you."

Gu Bei smiled and looked at Liu Yifei, "Is today's makeup and styling team still from L'Oréal?"

"How about it?"

Liu Yifei took a few steps back.
She twirled twice to show Gu Bei her dress for the day.
Normally, she wouldn't be able to create such an exquisite makeup and hairstyle on her own.

Liu Yifei's jet-black hair was carefully combed and piled high in a simple bun, revealing her smooth forehead. Her overall temperament was as dignified as her face.

Beneath the accentuated neckline was a light beige long-sleeved dress.
L'Oréal's makeup and styling team seems to have considered that Liu Yifei is only twenty years old, so the dress is relatively conservative, with not much of her fair skin exposed.

It features delicate patterns and sequin embellishments, paired with puff sleeves made of sheer tulle, giving it a dreamy and graceful feel reminiscent of a Disney princess.

"It's beautiful, it looks a bit like the princess dress I drew for you." Gu Bei thought of the Crystal Princess he had drawn.

"I deliberately chose this style of dress after seeing that one."

Liu Yifei said with a smile,

She already loved cartoons, and after seeing Gu Bei's paintings, she couldn't forget them even more.

"Once the movie is made, I'll definitely make you one exactly the same."

Gu Bei smiled and made a grand promise.

He didn't expect that Oscar and L'Oréal would take the initiative to help him this time; this is already the treatment of a spokesperson!

He asked curiously, "You've been flirting with L'Oréal for so long, but haven't you made a decision yet? What kind of offer are they planning to give you?"

"Isn't this all your fault?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Gu Bei, "If it weren't for the Oscars, I would be shooting commercials in China right now, and then quietly waiting for the official announcement in April."

After a pause, Liu Yifei started counting on her fingers again: "After the Oscars, all my schedules for February were postponed to March."

There's also the promotion for "The King of Kung Fu" in April; these two months are probably going to be incredibly busy!

After Liu Yifei finished filming Mei Lanfang,

I spent two months doing nothing in North America.

Originally, the work intensity was supposed to gradually return to after the Lunar New Year.
Everything has piled up into these two months.
The thought of the workload over the next two months made Liu Yifei feel terrible!

"Haha, you should blame L'Oréal for this."

"If it weren't for the insistence on announcing it before 'King of Kung Fu,' the timing wouldn't have been so tight."

Gu Bei said with a smile, "They've really tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead. They've been arguing with you for so long, and they still want to ride on the coattails of the King of Kung Fu's popularity."

"You can ride the coattails of The Forbidden Kingdom's popularity now, but you can't ride the coattails of the Oscars."

"It really is."

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Yifei realized that Gu Bei's words made some sense.

"Once your promotional tour for 'King of Kung Fu' in North America ends in April, we can probably go back to China together," Gu Bei said with a smile. "It's our company's first public appearance, and as the pillar of the company, you can't be absent!"

Riding the east wind of the Twilight City in April,
Gu Bei is also about to officially announce his company to the public.

He announced Gu Bei's arrival to the entire entertainment industry across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

The main problem is that there haven't been many good opportunities this year. Once the opportunity in April is over, the next good one won't come until after the 08 Olympics. "Singing is the top star, and I'm the mainstay, right?" Liu Yifei said somewhat discontentedly. "Can't you think of a better title for me?"

"Then...the landlady?"

Gu Bei said with a smile on his face.

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei clenched her fist, "I told you we can't use that word anymore!"

If it weren't for the constraints of this formal dress, she would have given Gu Bei a good beating.

"I'll have to finalize this deal sooner or later!" Gu Bei chuckled. "By the way, you haven't mentioned what kind of treatment L'Oréal is giving you yet."

"Global Ambassador!"

Liu Yifei slightly raised her face.

Paired with her gorgeous dress, she exuded elegance.

Gu Bei was slightly stunned when he heard this.

If I remember correctly, Gong Li is also a global spokesperson for L'Oréal.

Isn't this a coincidence?

However, being a global brand ambassador is not a unique title; it's just that there's usually only one ambassador in the region where their influence is greatest.

Liu Yifei and Gong Li are more than twenty years apart in age.

The two individuals cater to completely different fan groups.
L'Oréal probably made the decision to have the two people share the title for this reason.

Regardless, it's already quite remarkable that Liu Yifei was able to become L'Oréal's global ambassador at her age.

"Great!"

"Hum~"

It's almost time.

The two of them arrived at the Avenue of Stars in a minivan.

Every year at the Oscars, this Walk of Fame becomes a place where Hollywood stars from all walks of life compete to show off their glamour.

"This is too crazy!"

Liu Yifei looked at the fans who were being kept outside by security guards.
Compared to the Cannes Film Festival, the Oscar fans are like a terrifying horde of zombies, a dark mass that stretches as far as the eye can see.

While the two were waiting to walk the red carpet,
The host, Regis Philbin, walked over with the microphone.
This former host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is a mainstay host of ABC.

"Let me see, here are two young men." Regis said to Gu Bei with a smile, "Welcome, Bruce. Your Whiplash drummer has received seven Academy nominations this time. How many Oscars are you planning to take home?"

"If possible, we would definitely take all seven of them."

Gu Bei responded confidently with a faint smile on his face.

Regis's face stiffened.

I'm just asking you, do you really dare to think like that?

However, as a veteran host for many years

He quickly composed himself and laughed, "Haha, you're being a bit too greedy."

In order to avoid problems during the live stream,

Regis dared not press Gu Bei any further.
He quickly shifted his focus to Liu Yifei: "Welcome, beautiful lady. What is your connection to this ceremony?"

"Me?" Liu Yifei reacted quickly, "I'm a member of the audience!"

Regis's face stiffened again.

"puff!"

Nicole Kidman, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
