Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 314 Shu Chang: So I'm just your shield, you two?

good good!
It turns out you were waiting for me here!

Gu Bei immediately understood that Han Sanpin was not so much concerned about whether Liu Yifei could win an Oscar, but rather about the Gravity project, because Han Sanpin had truly poured all his resources into it.

However, what Han Sanpin said was something Gu Bei was hearing for the first time.
It turns out that among the top Oscar categories, only one female actor has yet to win, and she hasn't even received a nomination.

He only knew before,

Yang Ziqiong will be the first Chinese woman to win an Oscar in the future.
Surprisingly, Yang Ziqiong had never even been nominated before.

"Chairman Han, you're putting me in a difficult position!"

Even if you let Sissi think about it herself, she probably couldn't have imagined winning an Oscar by defying gravity!

Gu Bei said with a smile, "But you can rest assured that I will definitely make Gravity known worldwide, and make Chinese films go global and no longer be ignored like before!"

Gu Bei is genuinely going to spend a full $100 million on advertising.

For gravity to recoup its costs, it must create a global impact.

For Han Sanpin, whether the film recoups its costs is irrelevant; what matters more is its influence and cultural dissemination.

In any case, the two of them did reach an agreement on this point!
"Haha, then I'll wait for Director Gu's good news!"

Hearing Gu Bei's words, Han Sanpin felt much more at ease; these words truly resonated with him.

After a pause, Han Sanpin revealed some good news to Gu Bei: "By the way, there's been news about the script that got stuck before. The China Railway Corporation has changed its mind and said they can film the zombie riots in the train stations and carriages."

"Wow, you're really good at taking pictures!"

Gu Bei was slightly startled.

He had been thinking about this project not long ago.

Given the current circumstances, there might still be a slight chance of filming in the next two years.

After a while, with the tightening of the review process, there will really be no hope left.

After all, by that time, even Zhang Yimou's films, which were considered masterpieces, had so much content inexplicably cut.

After starring in "Let the Bullets Fly," Coco Chiang's new film project has been delayed, leaving her with no choice but to make a biographical film based on Lang Lang's life.

"I don't know what happened either. It was Minister Liu, who personally oversaw the high-speed rail project, who specially approved it after seeing that you won the Oscar."

Han Sanpin said with some surprise that he actually didn't know what was going on over there either.

Gu Bei had also heard a little about this Liu the Madman.

The other party certainly has a discerning eye.
With Gu Bei's current reputation, North American distributors would be willing to handle the distribution of any film he makes.

Once the Hangzhou trip is filmed, it will be shown in most countries around the world, allowing them to see China's latest high-speed rail and realize that China's high-speed rail has embarked on a semi-independent path.

However, Gu Bei quickly realized something.
It seems this person is about to be arrested; this happened in early 2011.

Gu Bei's schedule for 2009 was filled with La La Land and Gravity, so he had to finish filming and release the film in 2010, otherwise things would change!

He quickly said to Han Sanpin, "Chairman Han, please be sure to start the script registration process immediately!"

Han Sanpin asked with some doubt, "So urgent?"

"We couldn't film before, so we definitely have to be in a hurry now!"

Gu Bei casually explained, "What if we can't film in a couple of days?"

Han Sanpin smiled and said, "You can rest assured about that. As the Chinese film market grows larger, it will definitely become more and more open. In the future, we will be able to film anything, just like North America!"

Ha ha!

Gu Bei did not refute Han Sanpin's words.

All I can say is that the future is not as wonderful as everyone imagines.

While Gu Bei and Han Sanpin were chatting,

There was a knock on Han Sanpin's office door: "Chairman Han, Teacher Liu Yifei has returned!"

Upon hearing this, Han Sanpin said to Gu Bei, "Alright, I won't disturb you two lovers' reunion. You go pick them up first!"

Gu Bei remained silent.

He simply stared at the half-open office door, and from the unnatural expression on Han Sanpin's secretary's face, he could tell that there was probably another mischievous person behind the door.

"Director Gu?"

Han Sanpin called out to him.

"fine!"

Gu Bei said with a smile, "A real man should prioritize his career. Let her wait a while, and she'll know to run home even on a rainy day!"

After he finished speaking, he quietly approached the office door.

Liu Yifei, hiding behind the office door, puffed up her pretty face slightly, like an angry goldfish, her face showing displeasure.

good good!
I never expected Gu Bei, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be such a good actor!
She usually acts so clingy, but it turns out she's actually putting on such a macho act in front of other men!
But... what does it mean that they know to run home even on rainy days?
A hint of doubt rose in Liu Yifei's little head.

There's really no place for this proverb in her knowledge base.

then,

She felt the office door she was leaning against open, causing her to stumble and bump into someone. When she looked up, she saw that it was Gu Bei.

Liu Yifei immediately realized that Gu Bei's words just now were actually a smokescreen, meant to mislead her!
Quick-thinking, she raised her hands to her face, feigning a fierce expression: "Ouch! Scared you, huh?"

"Mmm, I'm so scared!"

Gu Bei nodded.

However, although Gu Bei said that...

But everyone present could see that Gu Bei didn't seem afraid at all.

Liu Yifei felt that her attempt to save face had failed.

She turned to look at Han Sanpin's secretary, her eyes wide with surprise.

It seems like he's blaming the other party for betraying him, even though they had just agreed on it.

Han Sanpin's secretary shrugged helplessly: "Teacher Liu Yifei, I didn't reveal anything, not even a glance!"

Liu Yifei then turned to look at Gu Bei.

Gu Bei said with a smile, "He didn't really give me any hints, but the way he tried to hide his ignorance was rather unnatural."

In short, it boils down to four words: terrible acting!

Liu Yifei also felt somewhat helpless.

Gu Bei took her hand: "Chairman Han, we'll be going now. We'll chat again next time!"

After saying that, he left Han Sanpin's office with Liu Yifei.

"What energetic young people!"

Han Sanpin shook his head behind him.

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei got into the nanny van.
Gu Bei kept staring at Liu Yifei beside him. It had been almost half a year since they last met, and their last phone call was two months ago.

"what happened?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"This time it's really quite dark!"

Gu Bei sighed.

This time, Liu Yifei's temperament has really changed a lot compared to before.

She not only lost some weight and her skin became a bit darker, but she also exuded a unique heroic spirit, making her even more like the female lead in Gravity.

"Go to hell you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei delivered a powerful elbow strike to Gu Bei.

Even if she doesn't care much about appearances, it's not something Gu Bei can judge at will.

"That's good! I mean it suits the role even better now!"

Gu Bei explained.
However, Liu Yifei ignored him and continued her attacks.
Left with no other option, Gu Bei had to retaliate.

After playfully fighting for a while, the two ended up sitting together.
Liu Yifei's lips were still slightly red and swollen.

This time, we've indeed been apart for far too long.

"Shall I come to your place tonight?" Liu Yifei tapped Gu Bei's chest, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"no!"

Gu Bei shook his head. "Ever since I returned to China, entertainment reporters have been watching me closely. They're probably following this van right now."

"Can't we do it the way we did last time?"

Liu Yifei pouted, looking somewhat displeased.

“Last time I didn’t win Best Picture, so there weren’t as many people watching me. Now, there are people staking out the parking lot of the hotel I’m staying at every day.”

Gu Bei was also annoyed by these entertainment reporters. What was the point of them staring at a director like him all day?

After a pause,

Gu Bei tapped Liu Yifei's delicate nose: "However... Kyoto is the home ground of these entertainment reporters, but we can leave the capital!"

"Want to go out and have some fun?"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed. "But if we run into each other outside, it will be even more difficult to explain."

"Do you remember that you promised Shuchang you'd visit the set?"

Gu Bei had already thought it through: "You visit your best friend on set, and I'll visit my employees. It makes perfect sense for everyone to get together, right?"

Liu Yifei said helplessly, "But Chinese Paladin 3 has already been filmed!"

Gu Bei said with a smile, "It's okay, she's already joined the cast of 'Scarlet Heart' now."

"Hey hey hey!"

Liu Yifei immediately called Shu Chang and said, "Changchang, I'm coming to visit you on set!"

After Gu Bei finished dealing with things in Kyoto, they set off together.

However, they didn't go directly to Hengdian.

Our first stop was Jiangcheng.

Liu Yifei's trip abroad was to promote the movie "The Wrong Star".
However, since the domestic itinerary had already been completed,
Therefore, she wouldn't come back until Gravity started filming, so she naturally had to go back to Jiangcheng before going abroad.

This was also the first time that Gu Bei had met Liu Yifei's other family members.

"Gu Bei, are you nervous?"

Liu Yifei smiled and leaned closer, carefully examining Gu Bei's face.

“Nervous? How could I be! I’m not nervous at all,” Gu Bei said loudly.

"If you're not nervous, then you're not nervous. Why are you talking so loudly?"

Liu Yifei chuckled and poked the sweat on Gu Bei's forehead, "Hurry up and wipe it off, you're not nervous at all, why are you sweating so much!"

Gu Bei continued to force himself to say, "It's just hot!"

Liu Yifei pouted. It's only March, how can the weather be hot?
However, she didn't continue teasing Gu Bei, because the car had already arrived home, and Liu Yifei's grandmother and her family were waiting for them.

"Sisi, and my grandson-in-law!"

Grandma smiled as she looked at Gu Bei and Liu Yifei, and the more she looked at them, the more she felt that the two were a good match.

"Grandma~"

Liu Yifei was starting to protest.

What grandson-in-law? She hasn't agreed to that!
"Hello, Grandma!" Gu Bei greeted naturally.

"See?" Grandma replied with a smile.

Liu Yifei glanced at Gu Bei, then at her grandmother, her face slightly flushed, whether from shyness or from being angered by the two of them working together.

When there is an empty space,
Grandma, still looking quite charming, said to Liu Yifei, "You have good taste, much better than your mother!"

Liu Xiaoli, standing to the side: ? ? ?

It's not my business?

Liu Yifei glanced at Gu Bei in the distance, a sweet smile appearing on her face.

The day ended with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei no longer have to worry about being photographed by paparazzi.

Early the next morning,
Liu Yifei nudged Gu Bei and said energetically, "Come on, let's go have breakfast!"

Breakfast belongs to Jiangcheng.

Even the unique breakfast culture of Hubei Province,
Since Gu Bei had come all this way, Liu Yifei naturally wanted him to experience it.

Although this is not Kyoto

But as long as they're in China, given Liu Yifei's popularity, there's no way they'll have a place for just the two of them.
Especially since this is Jiangcheng, Liu Yifei's hometown, even more people know her!
Gu Bei and Liu Yifei walked into the market ahead of each other, with Liu Yifei's assistant by her side.
Following them were Gu Bei and Liu Yifei, along with their bodyguards and driver.
There were about ten people in total, a large and impressive group, which attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.

Our first stop was, of course, the local specialty of Wuhan: hot dry noodles.

"Here comes hot dry noodles!"

Liu Yifei skillfully took the fast food bowl, mixed it, and handed it to Gu Bei, just like a virtuous newlywed wife.

"Won't you have a bite?"

Gu Bei wanted to give the first bite to Liu Yifei.

Looking at the steaming hot dry noodles, Liu Yifei swallowed hard and tried her best to refuse, saying, "Let's forget about it!"

What is hot dry noodles?
Noodles topped with sesame paste, sesame oil, and chili oil.

Carbs plus fat: a veritable calorie bomb.

For a female celebrity who is about to enter the promotional period, this is a poison pill!

"Hahaha!"

Gu Bei immediately realized this. He picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks. The steaming noodles were covered with sesame paste and extra chili oil. The color was golden with a hint of brownish-red, which looked incredibly tempting!

He deliberately held it up in front of Liu Yifei so she could smell the aroma before taking a bite.

The rich flavors explode in your mouth.

"Smells, it smells so good!"

"Gudu!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but swallow again.

It's not easy for her to come back to Jiangcheng, but she can't even enjoy this delicious food. It's worse than killing her.

The promotional period is almost here!

Liu Yifei could only comfort herself with this reason, then glared angrily at Gu Bei. If they weren't in the market, she would have wanted to tear Gu Bei to pieces.

Gu Bei definitely did it on purpose!

You like to eat, right?
There's plenty of food to eat in Jiangcheng for breakfast.

I'm going to feed you until you're dizzy from all the carbon monoxide poisoning today!
at this time,

A weak voice came from behind: "Excuse me, are you Liu Yifei?"

Liu Yifei was recognized without any surprise, and she greeted her fans with a smile.

When she greeted everyone, her four fingers curled up slightly and quickly touched her thumb, just like a kitten waving, which charmed the fans on the outside.

Then, of course, there was a group photo session.

Gu Bei slurped his noodles to the side.
Liu Yifei posed for photos with fans on the side.

Some fans also recognized Gu Bei: "Qianqian, what's this between you and Director Gu...?"

Liu Yifei explained, "We went to Hengdian to visit Shu Chang on set, and we stopped in Jiangcheng for a day on the way. As the host, I showed Director Gu the local breakfast in Jiangcheng."

Shu Chang: So I'm just your shield, you two?
