Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 210 The Party's Protagonist

Gu Bei noticed Leonardo's gaze.
He originally thought Leonardo DiCaprio's desire for an Oscar was...
It's just a label imposed on him by the media and the public, or rather, a marketing tactic.

Now, judging from the way he unconsciously looks at the little golden statue, it's clear that this is probably his true thought.

Gu Bei asked with a smile, "Would you like to touch it?"

"Hey!"

Leonard patted Gu Bei on the shoulder. "This isn't funny, Bruce."

"I just think you're sure to win your little golden statuette. Your performances have always been excellent among your contemporaries; you've just lacked a bit of luck."

Gu Bei handed Leonardo a small golden statuette, saying, "Maybe my luck can bring you some good fortune."

"Bruce, do you really believe I can win that little golden statuette that belongs to me?"

Leonardo weighed the little golden statuette in his hand.

"of course can."

Gu Bei offered Leonardo some motivational advice, saying, "When we last met, your performance already perfectly matched the silent film star I was looking for."

Let's keep this state in until we turn on the machine in March.
Who knows, maybe a year from today will be the day you receive your award!

If it were before awards season

At most, Leonardo would take Gu Bei's words as a joke.

But after this awards season...

Leonardo listened very attentively to Gu Bei's words.

He nodded seriously: "I will continue to maintain this state."

at this time,

A familiar female voice came: "Director Gu, it's been a long time."

Gu Bei turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Ziyi wearing a purple gauze dress, walking towards the Murdoch couple.

How come I can see you everywhere?

Gu Bei was slightly puzzled, not expecting to see Zhang Ziyi at the Oscar party.

But upon closer reflection,
Zhang Ziyi is currently at the peak of her international fame.
He didn't get many roles, but he frequented quite a few parties and banquets.

Gu Bei took the initiative to introduce Leonardo, saying, "This is Zhang Ziyi. I have a Chinese film that Crystal will be working on with her."

"I know, there are hidden talents among them!"

Leonardo still has some impression of Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi's expression stiffened slightly.
It's been eight years since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

But when people in Hollywood see her, the first thing that comes to mind is Yu Jiaolong, and the second is Rush Hour 2.

Leonardo didn't stay long before leaving; a group of friends were waiting for him there.

"Sissi, I didn't expect we'd be working together again."

Zhang Ziyi affectionately took Liu Yifei's hand.

After seeing Gu Bei's achievements at the Oscars, she became even more envious.

However, after discovering their relationship last time, she decided to take the wife route this time and became increasingly enthusiastic towards Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei gave an awkward smile.

She looked at Gu Bei.

Her eyes blinked rapidly.

It's as if it's saying: Help me! Help me!

"We're leaving soon."

Gu Bei received Liu Yifei's signal and spoke.

"Aren't you going to the Highlands Center?" Zhang Ziyi asked, somewhat puzzled. There was an AIDS foundation party there, which was also a traditional party for Oscar night.

"Sisi is a little hungry, let's go back and get something to eat."

Gu Bei said lightly.

Zhang Ziyi glanced at Liu Yifei with envy.

Rather than going around showing off my connections, I just want to get projects.

Liu Yifei seems to have nothing to do but be herself.

This kind of freedom is truly enviable! However, Gu Bei underestimated his popularity at the party.
In a way, both he and the Coen brothers were the main characters at the party.

Previously, it was because the Coen brothers, a New York Times reporter, and Leonardo DiCaprio took turns monopolizing Gu Bei's attention.

Now it's Zhang Ziyi's turn, and someone immediately came to her door.

Gu Bei heard an unfamiliar voice behind him: "Bruce, want to talk?"

He turned around.

A middle-aged white man wearing a suit was seen.

He had never seen this person before.

But I've seen quite a few news articles about him.
I recognized him at a glance; he was none other than Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood cancer.

"What to talk about?"

Gu Bei replied indifferently.

His expression was calm, but he remained sufficiently vigilant.

"For the artist project, I can help you kick out Sony Classics and replace it with me, Weinstein, and you'll be the star of next awards season."

Harvey raised his glass, a sinister glint in his eyes, as if he were always hiding a calculating intent.

"unnecessary!"

Gu Bei flatly refused, leaving Harvey no room for negotiation. "The artist is about to start filming, and we already have enough investment!"

“Let me meet Ms. Zhou from Rose Pictures,” Harvey continued.

"It's my project." Gu Bei looked up at him. "I have the authority to make the decisions!"

The two looked at each other,

Harvey had a stubble around his face, which added to his fierce appearance, making him look like a wild beast ready to bare its fangs at any moment. He exuded a chilling aura of danger.

Silence spread between the two.
It looked particularly eerie amidst the noisy party.

Zhang Ziyi, standing behind Gu Bei, couldn't help but want to back away.

Liu Yifei, who was being pulled along, frowned slightly and stood firmly on the spot, not moving an inch behind Gu Bei.

After a while,
Harvey suddenly laughed.

He clinked his glass against Gu Bei's: "It's a bit of a pity. How about we collaborate again next time?"

"That depends on whether you can offer me a price that's tempting."

Gu Bei showed no signs of backing down.

Harvey smiled, turned and left.

Gu Bei watched his departing figure.
Harvey's strength lies in the independent film genre.

Rose Pictures now looks like a small, beautiful independent production company.
But in reality, starting with Twilight, Rose Pictures quickly rose to become a B-movie or even A-movie production company, and Harvey would have no influence over Rose Pictures anymore.

"Director Gu, I'll be going now."

Zhang Ziyi was somewhat frightened after witnessing the confrontation between Gu Bei and Harvey.

Before leaving, she added, "I will attend the opening of your company in China at the end of April as scheduled."

After Zhang Ziyi,
Gu Beicai said to Liu Yifei, "Harvey is a cancer in Hollywood. It's best to avoid him if possible."

Liu Yifei calmly replied, "It's okay, you should be in charge of your own project anyway."

Gu Bei wanted to say something more,
Then another person came knocking on the door.

The constant stream of people made Gu Bei realize that he was actually the star of the party.

"Bruce, hello."

A young man and woman appeared in front of Gu Bei. "I am David Ellison, and this is my sister Megan Ellison. Can we talk?"

"That Ellison?"

Gu Bei had some vague guesses.

"That's right, our father is Larry Ellison, the founder and CEO of Oracle!"

now,

Gu Bei saw two suckers standing in front of him.
