Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

What does a 100-point approval rating in Chapter 269 represent?
"I'm only guaranteeing one!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but defend herself, trying to argue her point, "Tell me about the last one, wasn't it your best performance?"

"So you mean you want to do it again?" Gu Bei said quietly.

Liu Yifei's expression froze slightly.
This idea has been considered before.

Wait a moment?
Have I been tricked by Gu Bei?

Liu Yifei realized what was happening and quickly glanced at Liu Xiaoli. Sure enough, she saw a worried look on Liu Xiaoli's face.

Oh no, oh no, Mom's found out about this!

She immediately felt a chill run down her spine, because Liu Xiaoli had been on set since the filming of "The Message" began, and naturally knew very well how difficult today's scenes would be.

"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Yifei immediately responded with a triple denial.

But if Gu Bei hadn't forcibly stopped it...

Liu Yifei really does seem to have the idea of ​​pushing her acting skills to their limits.
After all, he had only just reached 78 points in acting skills, and it was impossible to reach his limit in one go.

"hehe!"

Gu Bei saw through her disguise at a glance.

He didn't expose her, but simply put her on the bed and pulled the quilt over her.

Liu Yifei angrily turned her head to the side, thinking that this wasn't over yet!
"I'll go to the makeup area to get something to help you remove your makeup."

Seeing the traces of makeup on Liu Yifei's face, Gu Bei stood up and left the room first.

Only Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli remained in the room.

"Mom~"

Liu Yifei gently pouted and acted coquettishly.

When in doubt, try being cute first!

"When did our Sisi become so spoiled?"

Liu Xiaoli chuckled and joked.
She sat down by the bed and gently tidied Liu Yifei's disheveled hair and makeup.

"mom!"

Liu Yifei was starting to protest.

She rubbed her cheek against Liu Xiaoli's palm and whispered, "You taught me this since I was little: if you're going to do something, you either don't do it at all, or if you do it, you always strive to do it the best you can!"

"Are you trying to intimidate me with my words?"

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Art is inherently full of all sorts of regrets. I remember when we went to the Louvre to see the Venus de Milo, the one-armed goddess became a classic precisely because of her imperfection."

I understand your desire to do your best, but it's impossible to truly achieve perfection.
Because even when you reach that point, you'll still be dissatisfied.

"Oh."

Liu Yifei nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She saw a nostalgic look on Liu Xiaoli's face.

I wonder if it was reminding me of my days in the dance troupe.
However, as long as Liu Xiaoli doesn't worry too much about her, she doesn't feel so much pressure.

After a while,
Gu Bei returned with her makeup bag.

Liu Xiaoli stood up: "Alright, you young people chat for a while, I'll go make something to replenish your nutrition."

"Come on, Mr. Liu, let me remove your makeup!"

Gu Bei shook the makeup bag in his hand and sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile.

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei was still resentful about Gu Bei's recent complaint.

But she still turned her pretty face away, letting Gu Bei do as he pleased.

"hiss--"

Gu Bei heard Liu Yifei gasp.
He looked down and examined it carefully.
There was a little redness and swelling at the base of Liu Yifei's hairline, which was probably caused by some movement during filming.

In fact, it wasn't just this spot; Liu Yifei also had many minor scratches, redness, and swelling on her face.

Every single gap was covered up with makeup by the makeup artist.

Now that I've removed my makeup, all the scars are showing, and they look rather shocking.

Gu Bei couldn't help but say, "Don't try to be a hero in the future!"

Liu Yifei said nonchalantly, "That's filming. My teacher said that acting is the most important thing. There's no such thing as showing off. As long as you can move, you can film!"

"I'm the director, what I say goes!"

Gu Bei said calmly, slowing down his movements so as not to aggravate the minor wounds.

"So... you're satisfied with my performance?"

Liu Yifei slightly raised her head, her beautiful and exquisite face looking up at Gu Bei, her pretty phoenix eyes blinking, her eyes full of expectation and praise.

Gu Bei met her eyes and smiled.

To be honest, from the first day of filming,
He was already very satisfied with Liu Yifei's acting skills.
Especially in the scenes between Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi, Liu Yifei's acting skills have undergone a transformative change compared to her time in Whiplash.

But the machine had just been turned on then, so there was no way they would admit it so easily.
Then Liu Yifei's tail must be wagging in the sky.
But after seeing Liu Yifei's performance today, if he still doesn't admit it, then he really is in the wrong.

Gu Bei nodded frankly: "Satisfied, very satisfied!"

After a pause, he said, "You won the bet. Now, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Let me think about it!"

Liu Yifei fell into deep thought.

She hadn't really thought carefully about what conditions she wanted Gu Bei to agree to.

But now that we've won,
She was finally able to think.
What conditions should be used to retaliate against Gu Bei for the swimsuit condition he set back then?
Just as Liu Yifei was pondering,
A crisp and pleasant system voice rang in my mind.

【Ding! 】

Is this... the mission completed?

Liu Yifei was immediately overjoyed.

Today was a very fruitful day. I just completed the comeback challenge and now I've finished the task that had been hanging in the balance for a long time.

She quickly looked at the light screen.
The system's task list has changed once again.

【mission completed! 】

[Task Title: How Long Can You Keep Being Stubborn? (Completed)]

[Task Objective: Gain Gu Bei's approval of your acting skills (Successfully completed, Gu Bei's approval level reaches 100%, task perfectly completed)]

[Task Reward: One random draw from the Entertainment Treasure House (perfectly complete the task, and the reward will be doubled)]

"what?"

After seeing the description in the system task, Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance at Gu Bei.

Gu Bei smiled at her and continued to focus on removing her makeup.

This time, Liu Yifei was truly lost in thought.

If the system generally uses 100 as the universal maximum value standard, then what does 100 points of recognition represent?
That is, no matter what I do, Gu Bei will approve of me.

It is possible to do this.

Before, Liu Xiaoli was probably the only one, right?
Perhaps in the future, we can add Gu Bei as well.

Gu Bei, you really love me to death!

While feeling joyful, Liu Yifei also felt a sense of apprehension.

Because the system can see Gu Bei's level of approval but not her own, she was somewhat afraid that she wouldn't be able to reciprocate Gu Bei's level of approval.

"Snapped!"

When Gu Bei saw the hand that Liu Yifei had slapped away, a big question mark appeared above his head.

I've already accepted my loss, so what's this girl planning to do?

With her powerful core strength, Liu Yifei slowly got up from the bed.

She wrapped her two delicate hands around the back of Gu Bei's neck, then jumped onto him, her legs wrapping tightly around his waist, clinging to him like a koala.

Her body pressed tightly against Gu Bei's, her cool and tender skin exuding a slight chill, as if covering Gu Bei with a layer of ice in this hot summer.

Although Gu Bei didn't understand Liu Yifei's intentions,

But his body reacted much faster than he did.

His voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Kiss~"

Liu Yifei looked up at him.
A faint blush had appeared on her fair face.

Is this how you test cadres?

Which cadre could withstand such a test?
Without hesitation, Gu Bei leaned down and kissed those moist lips.

After a while,
The two separated, panting.

Gu Bei gently brushed aside Liu Yifei's hair, which was sticky with sweat, and teased with a smile, "Why does it feel like all the kisses smell like makeup remover?"

Gu Bei, go to hell!
Liu Yifei's face stiffened slightly, then a murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she glared fiercely at Gu Bei.

She was still immersed in happiness a moment ago.

The next second, he wanted to twist Gu Bei's head off and kick it like a ball.

They really know how to ruin the atmosphere!

"Put me down!"

Liu Yifei struggled for a moment, then returned to the bed.

Gu Bei was somewhat surprised by her performance.

Surprisingly, she didn't make a move. Liu Yifei's emotional control has improved quite a bit today!
After a pause,

Gu Bei thought of Liu Yifei's performance today.
He asked curiously, "What was your thought process when you were acting in those scenes today? I noticed that at the beginning, you probably didn't quite understand how to portray the character, right?"

"Yes!"

Liu Yifei instinctively wanted to nod, but with her face in Gu Bei's hands, she couldn't make such a big movement.

She continued, "At first, I was just thinking about how to make the performance more tragic!"

But... I even heard you telling me a story.
Then I remembered an experience, and I knew how to present it!

"experience?"

Gu Bei was a little curious.

"This experience is related to you, guess what!"

Liu Yifei smiled slightly, her bright eyes glancing at Gu Bei.

Gu Bei ignored what was happening with his hands, but his mind started racing.

From her initial performance, Liu Yifei clearly focused on showing how miserable the character was after being tortured.

But after Gu Bei mentioned that Liu Yifei already possessed Gu Xiaomeng's pitiful qualities, but still lacked Gu Xiaomeng's strength, Liu Yifei began to gradually move closer to the effect Gu Bei wanted.

So what made her able to grasp this so quickly, especially since it was an experience she had shared with herself?
Soon, an idea popped into Gu Bei's mind.

He blurted out: "The Olympic Games opening ceremony!"

Liu Yifei pouted: "How did you guess so quickly!"

After a pause, she continued, "After you told me that you needed Gu Xiaomeng's strength, the first thing that popped into my mind was the Olympic opening ceremony we watched together a couple of days ago."

I was thinking then, wasn't Gu Xiaomeng giving up her comfortable life and taking on that enormous responsibility and pressure all so that everyone could enjoy everything they have today?

"You're quite perceptive!"

Gu Bei said with a smile.

He was also secretly pleased.
It's not just because Liu Yifei has this kind of understanding,
It was also because of his influence on Liu Yifei.

"Then guess what I wished for during the fireworks display at the Olympic opening ceremony!" Liu Yifei gave Gu Bei another challenge after seeing how quickly he guessed.

"Didn't you say that wishes won't come true if you say them out loud?"

"I asked you to guess, and even if you guessed correctly, it wasn't me who said it!" Liu Yifei said seriously.

"Let me think about it!"

Gu Bei paused deliberately.

Actually, at this point...
It's too easy to guess what Liu Yifei's wish was.

However, to avoid Liu Yifei giving him another difficult problem, Gu Bei pretended to be deep in thought for a long time.

"Stop pretending!"

Liu Yifei patted Gu Bei's arm.

She knew Gu Bei too well now, and knew that when Gu Bei was really trying to think, he definitely wouldn't have this expression.

Gu Bei smiled.

Then, he said earnestly, "I think it should be 'May our motherland prosper and flourish!'"

"You guessed it right again!"

Liu Yifei's tone didn't convey the dejection of someone who had been wronged; instead, it carried a hint of joy.

Because she could clearly sense that the two of them were thinking on the same wavelength.

"All right!"

Gu Bei put away his makeup bag. "Take a two-day break and don't get too caught up in the role!"

He knew that Liu Yifei had always used the Stanislavski system, also known as the method acting approach, in her acting.

The method acting approach is also the most widely used in the current performance system because it is highly compatible with modern audiovisual language, which means enhancing the audience's immersion through realistic details.

The downside is that it can easily make the actors become too immersed in the role.
Gu Bei didn't want Liu Yifei to continue being immersed in her role.

the next day,
Gu Bei was filming Zhang Ziyi's interrogation scene, which still required the set to be cleared for filming.

Zhang Ziyi was much more dedicated than usual when filming this scene; I wonder if she was spurred on by Liu Yifei's performance yesterday.

After getting through this most difficult scene,

The crew of "The Message" doesn't have many scenes left.

Gu Bei's progress is not only not behind schedule, but has even exceeded the original plan by a large margin.

He was very satisfied with the filming of "The Message". The cast this time really created a chemical reaction, and everyone showed better acting skills than usual.

Especially Liu Yifei, this catfish,
This also greatly stimulated Zhang Ziyi, the other female lead in the dual-lead drama.

Zhang Ziyi's serious performance also stimulated Liu Yifei, and the two of them perfectly achieved the effect required for a dual female lead.

Evenly matched, let's make progress together!
"Congratulations on wrapping up filming!"

After Gu Bei finished filming the last shot, he was the first to applaud.

Under Gu Bei's leadership,

All the crew members applauded.

This shoot was a unique experience for them.

Gu Bei looked at everyone. This was his first Chinese-language film, and also the first change he brought to Huayu Entertainment.

He announced with a smile, "Everyone, remember to come to the wrap party tonight!"
