Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 240 Gu Bei absolutely must be punished!
"Xiangdu Cinema?"

Jiang Zhiqiang was somewhat tempted.

He knew that Gu Bei had many potential partners in mainland China.
Since they approached me, they must value my influence in Xiangdu.

"I suppose so," Gu Bei said casually. "The story is indeed set in Xiangdu, and it requires a lot of Xiangdu actors, so from that perspective, it's a Xiangdu movie."

After a pause,

Gu Bei added, "But this story is a tribute film, unlike previous films about Hong Kong, so it may not be very popular in Hong Kong."

“Indeed, people in Xiangdu might not like this kind of movie.” Jiang Zhiqiang thought for a moment. “So what kind of movie is it?”

"Has President Jiang heard of a script called 'Bodyguards and Assassins'?"

Gu Bei simply stated the movie's title.
Given the project's fame, there's no doubt that Jiang Zhiqiang has heard of it.

Although the film *Bodyguards and Assassins* began filming in 2009 and was released during the Lunar New Year holiday season,
But the script was written back in 1999.

To build the 1906 Hong Kong Central district, the budget for this film project was as high as 6800 million yuan.

So it didn't officially start operating until 2003, which coincided with the pandemic that year. Investors went bankrupt and committed suicide, and naturally, the film could not be made.

really,

Once the title of the script was announced,
Jiang Zhiqiang immediately knew what movie it was: "To be honest, I rejected Director Chen many times back then."
I never expected that this film project would come to me again.

Director Gu, are you sure this project has financial potential?

Gu Bei said calmly, "It might not have been possible in the past few years, but it will definitely be released next year or in the years to come."

This kind of patriotic film from Hong Kong only grossed less than HK$2000 million in Hong Kong, and its overseas box office was negligible, relying almost entirely on the mainland market to support its box office performance.

Even without the pandemic, the film would have definitely lost money for investors back then, because the mainland film market hadn't yet taken off.

But now the time is perfectly ripe.

Next year, being a special year, will be an excellent boost.

"In that case, we at Edko Films will join in."

Jiang Zhiqiang wasn't actually very optimistic about this project.
But for Gu Bei's sake, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"The filming of Siege of October still needs Mr. Jiang's close attention."

Gu Bei directly passed the matter on to Jiang Zhiqiang.
This film is touted as the Xiangdu version of The Founding of a Republic.

It brings together nine Best Actor winners, one Best Actress winner, and dozens of Hong Kong celebrities.
Only local film companies in Xiangdu can create a cast that is similar to the original.

Gu Bei then approached Jiang Zhiqiang and his Edko Films, asking Jiang Zhiqiang to serve as producer and assemble that super-luxurious team.

After Gu Bei and Jiang Zhiqiang said goodbye,

He carefully reviewed the plans in his mind: "In next year's Linlang Entertainment film plan, there is Very Perfect for the summer season, The Message for the National Day season, and Bodyguards and Assassins for the New Year season."

Could it be... that the three-year agreement with the richest man, Wang, can be fulfilled in just one year?

Gu Bei was extremely envious of Yida Cinemas.

This kind of high-quality asset only has a slight opportunity now.
The next opportunity will probably have to wait until Wang, the richest man in China, falls into trouble.

After the party,

The following day, various media outlets reported on the opening ceremony of Linlang Entertainment.

With the addition of reports from internet media last night, Linlang Entertainment has entered the public eye for the first time.

Whether it's Chinese Paladin 3, The Message, Earthquake, the establishment of Liu Yifei's studio, or the various photos in the banquet hall, they all garnered public attention.

This opening ceremony can be considered a success that exceeded expectations.

However, at times when public attention differs...
Industry insiders are more concerned about the distribution contract for Linlang Entertainment that Gu Bei mentioned.

Just as they were searching for Gu Bei's whereabouts,
Gu Bei, however, gave himself a short vacation.

"Sissi, are you awake?"

"No."

Gu Bei looked at the busy tone coming from his phone and found it somewhat amusing.

They answered the phone, and they still say he hasn't woken up?

However, he didn't disturb Liu Yifei's lingering in bed, since she had been busy ever since returning to China in March.

Finally, the business and promotional activities for "King of Kung Fu" are over.

I can finally take a short break with myself.

As for Gu Bei himself
It was from that time that I started photographing artists.

Then came the preparations for the opening press conference of Linlang Entertainment.

I spent the whole night dealing with a bunch of old foxes.

Finally, I can get some proper rest.

"Snapped!"

The door opens,

Liu Yifei rubbed her eyes: "Mommy~"

Gu Bei looked up at her and said, "Hey!"

Liu Yifei: ???

She lowered her hand, looked up, and...
Gu Bei was lying comfortably on the sofa, legs crossed, looking at her with a relaxed expression.

"Looking for death!"

Liu Yifei gritted her teeth, raised her fist and swung it as if she could punch Gu Bei across the living room.

She put on a fierce look on her face, looking both cute and stern.

After a pause,

Liu Yifei searched around but couldn't find Liu Xiaoli.

She walked over and sat down next to Gu Bei.

She leaned skillfully on Gu Bei's shoulder.
He asked curiously, "Gu Bei, where's my mother?"

Gu Bei casually replied, "She's already gone to the resort."

This vacation is relatively short, and it's within the country, so it's not convenient for just the two of us to travel. Therefore, we plan to go to a resort near Kyoto for a vacation.

Besides Liu Xiaoli
Liu Yifei's two best friends, Shu Chang and Zhang Liangying, will also be joining.
It was also an opportunity to satisfy their curiosity about Gu Bei.

"They actually abandoned me!"

Liu Yifei was somewhat indignant.

I thought Liu Xiaoli was joking when she said she wanted to let go.

I never expected that not only would they find her an assistant, but now they won't even wait for me when we go to the resort.

She pouted slightly, hugged Gu Bei's shoulders, and said in a soft, just-woke-up voice, "Gu Bei is the best, kiss~"

Gu Bei turned her head; her skills at acting cute were getting better and better.

Looking at Liu Yifei, whose natural beauty was still undeniable, he suddenly asked, "Did you brush your teeth?"

"boom!"

Liu Yifei couldn't hold back anymore, her expression changed.
She slapped Gu Bei's shoulder hard and said fiercely, "Are you already tired of this? How dare you say something like that!"

"how is this possible?"

Gu Bei leaned closer, gazing into those beautiful phoenix eyes, "I'll never get tired of them!"

After saying that, he kissed her, his target naturally being her moist lips.

Liu Yifei's eyes, which had initially held a hint of anger,

The passion was quickly worn away in the lingering embrace, leaving only burning emotions.

After a while,
Gu Bei moved away from her body and saw Liu Yifei's lips, which she had been kissing for a long time, still a faint rosy red.

He chuckled and continued the previous topic: "Even if you haven't brushed your teeth, it'll still smell nice!"

"Gu! Bei!"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened immediately.
She couldn't take it anymore; this time, Gu Bei absolutely had to be punished!
