Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 257 This female celebrity, you wouldn't want your fans to see you like this, would you?
"Smile!"

As Gu Bei held up his first-generation iPhone, aiming it at Liu Yifei, he took a picture.
The assistant, who was not far away, waved to the two of them and then coughed as a reminder: "Cough! Cough!"

"what happened?"

Liu Yifei was a little confused.

Gu Bei looked up and saw a group of young people walking towards them from behind Liu Yifei.

Almost every young person of that age knows Liu Yifei, so it's no wonder the assistant had to remind the two of them.

What's behind me?

Liu Yifei noticed Gu Bei's gaze and was about to turn around in the direction of his eyes.

Gu Bei quickly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Yifei who was about to turn around, and pulled her to the side of the road. At the same time, he warned her in a low voice, "A group of young people are coming. Be careful, your fans might be among them."

Liu Yifei was startled and immediately became obedient.

"Just pretend you're looking at the photos I just took, okay?"

Gu Bei placed the phone in her hand, giving her something to do, and the two of them could avoid being seen by passersby by standing around the phone.

He casually put his hand on Liu Yifei's shoulder and pulled her closer to him.

"Ok?"

Liu Yifei glanced at Gu Bei's hand.
Then she looked at him with a half-smile.
It seems to be saying: You're not using this as an excuse to do something improper, are you?
Liu Yifei is no longer sensitive to the small hugging and cuddling between the two of them, but that happens in a private space. In public, however, Liu Yifei still feels a little uncomfortable.

Gu Bei noticed her gaze, smiled, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "This female celebrity, you wouldn't want your fans to see you like this, would you?"

"You still said that!"

Liu Yifei blushed slightly and nudged Gu Bei with her elbow.

Although she couldn't understand the joke in Gu Bei's words.
But judging from Gu Bei's tone of voice,

She could tell that Gu Bei definitely had ill intentions!

at this time,

The group of young people passed by the two of them.
One of them looked at the two of them with some doubt: "I almost thought I heard Liu Yifei's voice just now!"

Another person immediately responded, "How could that be? Why would a big star like Liu Yifei come to Chengdu? You must be hallucinating."

The man glanced at Gu Bei and the other person again: "Maybe I misheard!"

"Did you hear that?" Gu Bei whispered in Liu Yifei's ear, "Are you scared now?"

Liu Yifei slightly raised her face, her expression still showing that she was fearless.

However, her body language betrayed her; she secretly moved closer to Gu Bei to reduce the chances of being recognized.

The person who just spoke is definitely her fan.
After all, she's now using her own original works.
There's only one TV series, The Story of a Noble Family, and only one movie, Whiplash.

If you watched fewer of her interviews and shows, you probably wouldn't even realize what her original voice sounds like.

If she gets recognized by fans now, she'll probably be in big trouble!
Gu Bei noticed her subtle movements.
He couldn't help but smile slightly.
Isn't that still being scared?
He didn't expose Liu Yifei's little scheme.
I just watched her carefully moving movements quietly.

After a while,
After noticing that the group of people had already walked away, Gu Bei said, "They're gone."

"Oh~"

Liu Yifei glanced up at Gu Bei.
She gave a dangerous smile: "I just heard you say those threatening lines, and you sounded very familiar with them?"

Is this a prelude to settling scores later?
Gu Bei, however, remained completely calm.

With a smile on his face, he reached out and touched Liu Yifei's head.

Liu Yifei backed away warily, covering her forehead with both hands, and nervously looked at Gu Bei: "What do you want to do? You're not going to make a move, are you?"

Gu Bei has a criminal record.

Once things get to this point where she's being unreasonable, I'll give her a flick on the forehead and then use a series of seemingly reasonable words to trick her into ending the conversation.

But she's not the Liu Yifei of the past anymore.

She's almost twenty-one years old, Liu Yifei!

"What do you think?"

Gu Bei brushed a few flower petals off her head.
Gently crush it with your fingers and casually sprinkle it on the tree-lined path.

"Oh~"

Liu Yifei's tone carried a hint of embarrassment.

But she quickly realized that she hadn't received an answer to the question she had just asked!

Her eyes widened: "Where's the answer to my question?"

Gu Bei smiled without saying a word.

He brushed aside her bangs that had fallen down with his hand.
The unintentional touch between their fingers made Liu Yifei's heart tighten slightly, her body trembled a little, and she looked around, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "We're still outside!"

“The answer,” Gu Bei stared at Liu Yifei, “is that I’ve only told you this before, but I already told you once, when we were filming The Tuner in New York. Have you forgotten?”

Subsequently,

He saw the confusion in Liu Yifei's eyes and immediately took the initiative: "You really forgot?"

Liu Yifei felt a little guilty; she had really forgotten.

Seeing this, Gu Bei moved a little closer to her.

Just now, I was still determined to settle scores with him.

He said with a smile, "You were just about to question me, but now you've forgotten. Shouldn't you be punished a little?"

"What punishment?"

Liu Yifei looked into Gu Bei's eyes, feeling a little uneasy, her fair cheeks quickly flushing red. "We're still outside!"

As Gu Bei drew closer and closer,

Liu Yifei quickly scanned her surroundings.

Fortunately, it was still working hours, and the tree-lined path was only occupied by the group of young people who had just walked by.

The road next to them is quite far away, and there's also greenery covering it, so at least no one will notice this side.

After observation,
Liu Yifei closed her eyes tightly.

Only her constantly trembling eyelashes could reveal the tension she was feeling.

"It's over! It's over! I'm going to lose my job!"

The assistant was even more nervous than Liu Yifei. She stood not far away, anxiously watching the two bosses getting closer and closer, but she was powerless to stop it from happening.

If she's photographed by paparazzi, she'll be kicked out of the house the next day.

"Hahaha!"

Gu Bei leaned close to Liu Yifei's dark hair, smelled her delicate fragrance, and then smiled as he moved away.

He wouldn't be this crazy in public.

Liu Yifei heard Gu Bei's laughter.
She suddenly opened her eyes.

She immediately noticed Gu Bei's amused look and knew that she had been tricked by him once again.

Those beautiful phoenix eyes instantly changed, gaining a sharper look.

Gu Bei hadn't realized it yet, and just smiled and said, "You smell even better than flowers!"

at this time,

Liu Yifei grabbed his collar.

Then she pulled him closer and planted a hard kiss on his lips.

After doing all this, Liu Yifei slightly raised her face to Gu Bei: "And now?"

Gu Bei realized what was happening.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
He then replied with a smile, "You're sweeter than flowers!"

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei glanced at him indifferently; this time, he had passed the test!
After the two separated,

The assistant rushed up and said wearily to Liu Yifei, "Sister Qianqian, we're still outside, you guys need to be careful not to get photographed!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Liu Yifei just did something bold, and now she has a fearless attitude: "If I'm photographed, I'll admit it; if I'm pregnant, I'll give birth. Would I stop dating just because I'm being followed by paparazzi?"

The assistant was even more exhausted, realizing she probably wouldn't be able to continue her job for more than a few days.

"It's okay, it's none of your business if you get the picture."

Gu Bei smiled and comforted his assistant, "My relationship with Qianqian isn't something we need to hide; we just don't like being disturbed by the outside world."

Compared to the constant scrutiny of a romantic relationship,

I feel much more comfortable in the current situation.

But if someone does take a picture of it, then admit it; it's not like it's anything shameful.

However, even if the two of them wanted to keep it a secret, they couldn't keep it a secret for much longer.

After all, we are about to enter the mobile internet era.
Everyone has a mobile phone and can post on Weibo.
Gu Bei and Liu Yifei weren't two people who paid special attention to each other.
Sooner or later, he'll be photographed by either paparazzi or ordinary people.

After a pause, Gu Bei turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Are you hungry? Let me take you to get something to eat!"

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Yifei nodded.

I was busy all afternoon and then went for a walk, so I'm quite hungry now.

Gu Bei called the driver and gave him an address.

"Boss, do you know any locals in Chengdu? Tourists from other places wouldn't know about this place unless it was recommended by a local."

The driver glanced at the location and knew that Gu Bei knew how to eat.

"A friend recommended it."

Gu Bei admitted it, then looked at Liu Yifei, "I'll take you to eat a local specialty restaurant in Chengdu. You definitely won't find this dish anywhere else."

Upon arriving at their destination, Liu Yifei looked at the storefront and asked curiously, "Mao Peking Duck?"

Gu Bei nodded; the storefront looked much the same as it had when he came back more than a decade later.

In 2008, the dish of braised roast duck had not yet spread throughout the country; it was mostly enjoyed by locals in Chengdu.

But actually, things are pretty much the same now.
Because what actually spread throughout the country later was hot pot duck.

Authentic braised duck is the kind of duck that is braised in brine, without any chili or red oil.

Gu Bei was in Chengdu on a business trip when he met many local colleagues, who brought him to this decades-old restaurant where he finally got to eat authentic braised duck.

"Roast duck, duck intestines, duck blood..."

Gu Bei skillfully ordered the dishes.

They called the driver out as well, and the four of them sat around a table by the roadside.

This is the true essence of life in Chengdu.

"I think I've been found out again!"

Liu Yifei whispered in his ear.

I'm still a little shaken by what happened by the river.

"So what if we've been found out? We're just here to eat, it's fine." Gu Bei followed Liu Yifei's gaze and indeed saw a middle-aged man not far away, staring at them.

"Then why didn't you say that just now?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

"Shouldn't we blame her?"

Gu Bei looked at his assistant.

If the assistant hadn't suddenly reminded me...

Even if they did meet, they wouldn't be afraid; at most, it would just be taking a photo with a fan.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Liu Yifei was even recognized in Los Angeles' Chinatown, but nothing ever happened.

Liu Yifei also looked at her assistant.

The assistant silently lowered his head.

All I want is to keep my job!
at this time,

The middle-aged man walked over.

Liu Yifei was about to get up when the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Director Gu, are you Director Gu Bei?"

You weren't looking for me?
Liu Yifei was slightly stunned when she heard this.

The body that had just stood up instantly plummeted back down.

"puff!"

The assistant next to her couldn't help but laugh out loud, but was immediately silenced by Liu Yifei's death stare.

Gu Bei glanced at Liu Yifei and was slightly surprised: "Yes, I am Gu Bei."

The middle-aged man looked excited: "Director Gu, I'm a fan of yours. I really like your Whiplash drumming. Can I take a picture with you?"

"no problem."

Gu Bei glanced at Liu Yifei again.

At this moment, Liu Yifei's eyes were lifeless.

Just thinking about how she had just told Gu Bei that "she had been recognized again,"
She felt that she shouldn't exist in this space, or that she should travel through time to stop herself from saying those words three minutes ago.

The society is dead!
“We’ve gone out so many times, and every single time you’ve been recognized. You can’t accept it after just one time?”

After Gu Bei finished taking the group photo, he returned and joked with a smile, "Then you'd better be careful in the future, lest my fame as a director surpasses yours as an actor!"

"Don't worry, that's impossible!"

Liu Yifei gritted her teeth and said resentfully.

She casually used her chopsticks to take a piece of meat from Gu Bei's bowl.

Gu Bei: ???
Liu Yifei, how old are you?
However, the rest of the meal...

Liu Yifei was quickly recognized; this time it wasn't a feint, but a genuine recognition.

Given her popularity, many people can easily recognize her if they take a closer look.

Liu Yifei finally felt relieved.

therefore,

Some news about the two has also circulated on the internet.

However, smartphones are not yet widespread, so no photos have been leaked, and the news has not spread as widely.

Especially the next day, paparazzi photos of Liu Yifei in Kyoto surfaced, further fueling doubts about the authenticity of the news on the internet.

Gu Bei also returned to Kyoto with Liu Yifei.

He still has a lot of things to do after he gets back.

Most importantly, of course, was the meeting with Wang Changtian of Enlight Media.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Gu Bei sat in the main seat of the conference room and shook hands with Wang Changtian, who had just arrived.

"Director Gu, you didn't even let me know you were coming back to Kyoto, otherwise I would definitely have treated you to a good meal." Wang Changtian greeted Gu Bei with a smile.

"I'm too busy!" Gu Bei pushed the contract to Wang Changtian. "This is the contract for the distribution rights of Linlang Entertainment."

Linlang Entertainment's three-year distribution rights contract

After a period of competition, it was ultimately acquired by Enlight Media, which Gu Bei favored the most.
