Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 254 Two Opportunities Arriving Simultaneously
Yang Yu's eyes visibly lit up at the mention of Disney.

Liu Yifei keenly noticed this; it was obvious that Yang Yu was more interested in Disney than in her, a big star.

Even if Yang Yu wasn't the director of Jiaozi, Liu Yifei would still be willing to help him based on his passion for animation.

"Let's talk about that short film we're currently working on," Liu Yifei said after thinking for a moment. "Are there any film festivals you'd like to attend?"

"Film festival? What film festival?"

Yang Yu said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm not quite sure where animated short films can go, so for now I've only contacted some TV stations and website purchasing managers to see if they're willing to buy the broadcasting rights."

If all else fails, I'll just post it online for everyone to see; consider it an advertisement for myself!

Liu Yifei was about to speak,
at this time,

【Ding! 】

The voice of the system sounded in my mind.

Has a system task actually been triggered?

Liu Yifei was slightly startled. In order to find the dumpling director mentioned in the original mission description,

She had almost screened through all the unknown directors before finally finding Yang Yu, who is still known as Jiao Keli.

She was filled with trepidation.
Looking at the light screen that I hadn't seen in a long time,
I carefully read the text that kept scrolling above.

[Triggering Task: The Knowledge Blind Spot of a Director with 20 Billion Yuan in Revenue]

You, at thirty-eight, look at Director Jiaozi in front of you. Everyone says that Director Jiaozi is currently in seclusion. Even when the Huabiao Awards presented the Special Contribution Film Award to "Ne Zha", Director Jiaozi did not attend the ceremony to accept the award.

Unexpectedly, I ran into him in a small teahouse in Chengdu. He was worrying about where to film his latest short film.

Although you are puzzled, you can also tell that he is not faking it. Perhaps this is a blind spot in the knowledge of a director with 20 billion yuan in box office revenue?
Please recommend a film festival, TV station, or website for director Dumpling.

[Task Objective: Recommend a short film directed by Dumpling]

[Task Reward: One random draw opportunity from the Entertainment Treasure House]

It’s really him!
Liu Yifei saw the system's task description.

This time, it was truly certain that the person in front of her was the director she was looking for, Dumpling.

After carefully reading the task description,

Liu Yifei now feels that system tasks are secondary.

The most important person is actually Yang Yu!
She originally told her assistant that she was looking for people for the animation project, just as a pretext to meet Yang Yu.

But now that she's confirmed that the other party is Director Jiaozi, whose movie is set to gross over 10 billion yuan, she really wants to recruit Yang Yu into the company.

Even if his abilities are not yet sufficient,

But the future potential is enough to excite her!
What do you think of the Sundance Film Festival?

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said seriously, "Although the Sundance Film Festival is not as famous as the three major European film festivals..."

But it has a strong preference for animation and documentaries.

Animated short films would have a significant advantage there.

This knowledge was something Liu Yifei, Gu Bei, and Antonio had memorized back in Sundance.

“Sundance…”

Yang Yu wanted to say that she seemed to have heard of this film festival, but she was too embarrassed to actually say it.

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of him. You just need to know that Gu Bei started at the Sundance Film Festival, and worked his way up from the Sundance Short Film Jury Prize to the Cannes Palme d’Or.”

Liu Yifei explained, "I know Gu Bei, I really like his Whiplash drumming!"

Yang Yu became interested. "I'll go back and look up information about the Sundance Film Festival to see how to register."

Going to the movies was one of his more luxurious forms of entertainment during these three years.
The Whiplash drummer left a very deep impression on him.

"I'll have my assistant send you a copy later."

Liu Yifei looked at Yang Yu and extended an invitation once again, "If you are willing to join my team, then you don't need to worry about these things at all."

"why?"

Yang Yu looked at Liu Yifei with a puzzled expression.

"Because I will help you submit the short film to the selector's table."

Liu Yifei crossed her arms, leaned back slightly, and said with a confident expression.

Because Rose Pictures discovered Gu Bei at the Sundance Film Festival, the Sundance organizing committee extended an invitation to Zhou Qianqian this year, wanting her to become a member of the jury.

Delivering a film is a piece of cake!
Is this... the demeanor of an international movie star?
Looking at Liu Yifei, who exuded an aura of dominance, Yang Yu felt an urge to bow down in worship. It wasn't easy to find an investor in China willing to support original 3D animation.

However, he managed to calm himself down: "I still need to prioritize finishing my own short film. Thank you for your kind words!"

Liu Yifei wasn't disappointed: "It's okay, you can think about it for a few more days. Contact my assistant if you have any ideas!"

"Thank you!"

Yang Yu expressed her sincere gratitude.

Liu Yifei was the first to leave the private room. She covered herself up completely with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, making sure that no one else could recognize her.

After a while,
Yang Yu staggered out of the private room as if she were living in a dream.

Yang Yu's feelings were somewhat complicated throughout the journey.

He regretted not agreeing immediately. Such a great opportunity had fallen into his lap, and he didn't know if he would have another chance like it.

At the same time, he felt that Liu Yifei's enthusiasm was too much, making him wonder if there was something fishy going on.
back home,

He looked at the nearly completed animated short film on his computer.
A sense of pride welled up inside me.
At least he's not the only one who recognizes his own work; things will definitely get better in the future!

at this time,

Yang Yu's phone rang.

After answering the call, he asked, puzzled, "Hello, what's up?"

"Yang Yu, you've struck it lucky! If you ever become successful, don't forget my recommendation!" A hearty laugh came from the other end of the line.

"Did you recommend her to Liu Yifei?"

Yang Yu was puzzled, because the middleman he contacted with Liu Yifei's assistant was not this one, but another person.

"Liu Yifei? What Liu Yifei?"

The person on the other end was also confused, but didn't pay much attention, and continued excitedly, "You know Director Gu Bei, right? The big Hollywood director!"
He was planning to support the domestic animation industry, so he was looking for domestic animation talent. After I recommended you, Director Gu Bei took a liking to you!

It turns out it wasn't the same thing.
Two opportunities have come at once. Could it be that my luck is finally about to change?
Yang Yu suddenly became excited.

Just two days ago, she was noticed by the famous actress Liu Yifei, and today she has been noticed by the famous director Gu Bei.

Either one looks like a fantastic opportunity!
Yang Yu calmed down a bit: "My own animated short film is not finished yet, and I'm in a tight schedule to prepare for the film festival. Does Director Gu Bei want me to go there now?"

"A short film? What's the point of making a short film?!" The person on the other end suddenly realized something. "Judging from what you're saying, could it be that you've found someone else through other means?"
