Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 247 Jiang Wen's Three-Pronged Approach
Gu Bei did this,
There was no intention to guard against Jiang Wen.

Rather, it's because Coco Kang is known for making changes as she shoots her films.
The script before filming and the script after filming are basically changed beyond recognition.

Even if Gu Bei were to give Jiang Wen the original script for "Let the Bullets Fly," the final product would likely differ greatly from the original.

Therefore,
Gu Bei simply left plenty of room for modification, letting Jiang Wen play around with it herself.
Unexpectedly, this happened just as Jiang Wen was trying to CPU her.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Gu Bei looked at Jiang Wen and producer Ma Ke and smiled: "It's not that we can't change it, but a script worth my effort must be a movie produced by our Linlang Entertainment."

"If I were to be the main investor in this film, I could find the time to write another version."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wen

He glanced at Marco beside him, as if to say, 'Didn't I tell you?'

When Jiang Wen was writing the script earlier, she concluded that if Gu Bei was willing to put in the effort to write such a good script, then he must have the intention to invest in it.

Marco secretly gave Jiang Wen a thumbs up.

They already had Emperor Motion Pictures, plus the deep-pocketed Linlang Entertainment, so they didn't have to worry about film investment.

But that's when he needs to play the bad guy.
After a pause, Marco said to Gu Bei apologetically, "Director Gu, I'm very sorry, but because the film had the strong support of Mr. Yang from Emperor Entertainment, Emperor Entertainment has already been given priority investment rights for Director Jiang's film."

"It's just a promise, so there's no contract yet?"

Gu Bei said lightly.

"a man of his words."

Jiang Wen interjected, "How could I possibly go back on my word once I've said it!"

"let it go!"

Gu Bei immediately quit.

Copyright is at the core of a film company.

However, in the domestic market, since most of the revenue comes from box office revenue, copyright is not valued, copyright ownership is in a state of chaos, and copyright management is even less taken seriously.

The imperfections in copyright law have further exacerbated this situation.

After future capital invasion,
Movies have been turned into financial products by everyone.

Investment shares can be traded speculatively, just like stocks.
Sell ​​some after filming begins, sell some after filming wraps, and sell some after censorship is approved.
Very few people are able to hold onto their investment share until the very end.

How could a good movie be made under such circumstances?

Linlang Entertainment's goal is to become China's Disney.

Copyright is much more controllable than people.

Therefore, we cannot concede an inch when it comes to copyright.

"what?"

Marco was dumbfounded.

He looked at Jiang Wen beside him.

But Jiang Wen didn't panic at all; instead, she smiled and said, "Director Gu is so carefree!"

"This isn't about being carefree; it's about having achieved my goal."

Gu Bei smiled and said, "You help me with the transitions, and I'll help you revise the script. As long as you act in The Message, then my script won't have been written in vain."

As for what happened next, let's leave that to each of us.

By the way, I hope Director Jiang won't back down?

"No, I won't go back on my word," Jiang Wen said nonchalantly.

"In that case, see you in July."

Gu Bei smiled faintly.

See you in July.

Jiang Wen smiled faintly.

After leaving Weibo Technology

Marco asked Jiang Wen, "I think Gu Bei is quite interested in investing. How about I talk to him again when he comes back from North America?"

“Not for now!” Jiang Wen smiled and put on her sunglasses to face the sun. “I’m going to be filming The Message with Gu Bei soon. I can pester him until he writes a few more versions of the script.”

Jiang Wen has three methods for finding screenwriters.
The first move is to beg, the second is to boast, and the third is to entangle.

The first two moves didn't work, and they're going to film "The Message" together in July. Even if Gu Bei tries to hide like Wang Su, he'll have nowhere to hide then.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Gu Bei also had his own plans.

Jiang Wen must fulfill his original promise. Gu Bei's attempt to manipulate Jiang Wen using the script is definitely futile.

However, he had other options.
Didn't Coco Kang often face funding shortages when making movies before?

Let Jiang Wen see how a film crew with no budget limit operates!
Gu Bei still didn't believe he couldn't be tempted.

……

Los Angeles.

"call!"

After landing, Gu Bei stretched.

A long flight across the Pacific Ocean,

Even in first class, one can still feel a lingering sense of fatigue.

The first thing Gu Bei did after landing was to inform Liu Yifei and his mother that he had arrived in Los Angeles.

quickly,

His phone rang.

"Hey?" Gu Bei said with a smile, "Still up so late?"

"I'm waiting for your news. Anyway, I don't have a job next year, so I can just lie at home all day!" Liu Yifei's voice still carried a hint of sleepiness.

Are you sure Aunt Liu will let you do this?

"Mom won't bother me!" Liu Yifei said excitedly. "Besides, Mom has already made plans to go out with friends tomorrow, so I can sleep in until I'm not grumpy in the morning!"

Gu Bei pictured Liu Yifei's adorable expression.

He said with a smile, "Speaking of my mother..."
During my stay in Hangzhou, my mom has been urging me every day to bring my wife home.
When are you, this ugly daughter-in-law, going to meet your in-laws?

"Ugly?" Liu Yifei sneered. "Don't you feel any guilt when you say that?"

"a little bit……"

Gu Bei thought about it,
Although it's a common saying, it feels really out of place when applied to Liu Yifei.

After a pause, he used reverse psychology: "You're not scared, are you?"

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei was indeed unconvinced, "What do I have to be afraid of! I'm loved by everyone, and flowers bloom for me. I'll definitely win over Auntie after just one meeting!"

We don't need to meet in person!

Gu Bei thought of his mother, Xu Shujun, and occasionally made some of the same gestures that Liu Yifei made.
She probably already knows about their relationship.
And it seems he is very satisfied with Liu Yifei.

After all, Gu Bei and Liu Yifei kept things relatively private from the outside world, but those around them already knew what they needed to know.

Especially Gu Bei's assistant, Li Wanyun, who was originally Xu Shujun's subordinate, he didn't believe that Xu Shujun hadn't found out any information.

At this point, it would indeed be unreasonable to prevent Xu Shujun from seeing Liu Yifei.

Gu Bei pondered how to arrange a meeting between the two families at the end of the year.

at this time,

Liu Yifei's grinding teeth came through the microphone: "You've been silent for so long, are you very dissatisfied with what I said?"

"I was just thinking about how to say it in a way that wouldn't make you so arrogant!"

Gu Bei said with a smile, "By the way, about the animation studio we talked about before, I've found a target to acquire."

"Quick, quick! Tell me about it!"

Liu Yifei suddenly became excited.

She has always been fond of Frozen and Crystal Princess.
