Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 327 Shu Chang and Yang Mi's Shura Field: People's Misadventures During the Spring Festival

"What kind of triumphant return is this?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Gu Bei again and said with a smile, "If you were a student in the directing department of our school, then your return would truly be considered a triumphant return!"

"Isn't the directing department of Beijing Film Academy known for not producing many directors?" Gu Bei chuckled and complained. "It seems that most of the directors at Beijing Film Academy come from the cinematography and literature departments."

"I was wrong!"

Liu Yifei gave Gu Bei a warning with her small fist, "If you were a student at our school, with your mouth, the school would never let you participate in exhibitions!"

The two of them joked around and arrived at the rest area.

Gu Bei looked at Shu Chang and Yang Mi, who were already waiting outside the building.

He raised his eyebrows.
Turning to Liu Yifei, he said, "The battleground is about to begin!"

"What 'shura field'?"

Liu Yifei was unaware that something was wrong.

She had just opened the car door

Then she heard two intimate voices calling her name: "Sissi!" "Sissi!"

"Sing! Sing!"

Liu Yifei was very happy to see her best friend Shu Chang and her friend Yang Mi, after all, they were the few people of the same age in the crew back then.

However, she quickly realized what Gu Bei meant by "the Shura field"!

"Teacher Shuchang, you might not be very familiar with the Beijing Film Academy. How about I take Qianqian there? That way, you won't have to waste your time getting her made up."

Yang Mi smiled and said to Shu Chang, her hand unconsciously wrapping around Liu Yifei's arm.

"There's no such thing as delaying or not delaying!"

Upon seeing this, Shu Chang immediately felt threatened and grabbed Liu Yifei's other arm, saying, "Besides, isn't Teacher Yang Mi busy filming in the Dream of the Red Chamber crew? How come she has time to attend the movie premiere?"

"Of course I'm here to celebrate for Sissi!"

Yang Mili was rebuffed, shook Liu Yifei's arm, and immediately said matter-of-factly, "Sissi's movie has been such a great success this time..."

It doesn't matter if Qingwen's scenes are in the picture; I'll talk to my agent at the company.
That way, I'll be able to find time to attend the premiere!

Actually, she originally wanted to retort.
But considering that Shu Chang was Liu Yifei's best friend, and that Shu Chang's boss Gu Bei was also present,
She wisely chose to hold back, instead deliberately putting on a show of 'sisterly affection' to provoke Shu Chang into losing her composure.

When Shu Chang saw Yang Mi shaking Liu Yifei's arm, her breasts were so voluptuous that Shu Chang felt she couldn't compare.

I'm so angry!
Shu Chang glared angrily at Liu Yifei, wanting to see what choice Liu Yifei would make.

Yang Mi smiled slightly and looked at Liu Yifei with expectant eyes.

"Uh……"

Liu Yifei quickly turned her gaze to Gu Bei.
It's as if it's saying: Help!!!

For someone with her personality...

This level of chaotic scene,

This is a situation that is beyond our control.

The CPU is about to explode!

"Haha, you sisters chat first!"

Gu Bei gave Liu Yifei a look that said, "Good luck to you."

Then he quickly left the scene.

I went to chat with Han Sanpin.

Liu Yifei's interpersonal relationships are something she has to handle herself. Gu Bei won't make decisions for her. Besides, it's not like she's the one who wants to sever those relationships. If the other person comes back to her in the future, she still won't be able to refuse them, given her personality.

Liu Yifei glanced at Yang Mi on her left.
I looked at Shu Chang on the right again.
Finally, he gave an awkward laugh and said, "Let's go inside and talk!"

After arriving at the lounge,
Yang Mi and Shu Chang quieted down for a while.

Not long after, Yang Mi started again: "Teacher Shu Chang, congratulations on being selected as one of the Four Little Actresses! I didn't expect you to be the one selected in the end!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Chang was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She used to be a freelancer.

Although there have been two great TV series, Lotus Lantern and Magic Mobile Phone,

In addition, popular TV dramas such as *The Secret History of Xiaozhuang*, *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, and *Jingwei Filling the Sea* were also broadcast.
However, her status in the industry has never been high. She can only make money through film and television fees. Her name cannot be monetized, and her other money-making jobs, such as endorsements, are far inferior to those of Yang Mi who have companies.

But ever since she joined Linlang Entertainment...
Even though Chinese Paladin 3 only aired on terrestrial channels last month, and hasn't even been purchased by a satellite TV station yet...

However, thanks to the backing of Linlang Entertainment, which helped her buy press releases and manage her business, her commercial value was truly developed, and she began to receive offers for endorsements and other commercial activities.

However, the "Four Little Actresses" selection by Tencent.com this April...
It was only after Linlang Entertainment persuaded Tencent to remove Liu Yifei from the list that she was successfully selected.
This has led to persistent rumors online that she was selected as one of the "Four Little Actresses" through the efforts of Linlang Entertainment.

Yang Mi is also one of the four little actresses. Saying this to her face is tantamount to being sarcastic and insincere.
"call!"

Shu Chang took a deep breath.

Then he slowly exhaled, forcing a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that when Rong Xinda was filming Dream of the Red Chamber, Teacher Yang Mi could only play Qingwen. I wonder if it's because of scheduling conflicts?"
"Linlang Entertainment is different. Since I joined, I haven't acted in any outside dramas yet!"

Let's hurt each other, come on!

Yang Mi's face also darkened.

Shu Chang's move was ruthless, directly hitting her sore spot.

She didn't want to renew her contract with Rong Xinda early, which led to Rong Xinda not taking her last year and a half of the contract seriously. They only gave her the role of Qingwen in their own drama, Dream of the Red Chamber, which was worse than not giving her any at all!

The reason she was so eager to find Liu Yifei and was so unceremonious with Shu Chang was...

She's just trying to get into Linlang Entertainment by following Liu Yifei's path, so Shu Chang will be her biggest rival for the top spot in the future, and naturally she won't be polite.

In order to increase their own value
Yang Mi hurriedly said, "There is no distinction between big and small roles, and I have recently been in contact with a Hollywood project in which I may play a major supporting role."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Yifei.
I feel a little regretful.
It's unbelievable that this news was leaked because of an argument with Shu Chang.

However, upon hearing the news, Liu Yifei simply smiled faintly and said, "Congratulations, Mimi!"

Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei doesn't seem interested; otherwise, among her peers, no one could compete with her now.

Shu Chang, however, was quite blunt: "What Hollywood project? You haven't been scammed, have you?"

"This project is called Mermaid Empire!"

After Yang Mi noticed Liu Yifei's lack of interest, she raised her head slightly and said smugly, "I've met the project investor; he's the famous real estate tycoon, Mr. Jiang." Shu Chang was slightly taken aback when she heard the name 'Mermaid Empire'.

She looked at Liu Yifei: "Didn't Director Gu say this was a scam project?"

Liu Yifei nodded seriously: "Gu Bei did say that this project was unreliable, but there are too many people involved, so it's not convenient for him to criticize it publicly."

After a pause, she looked at Yang Mi and said softly, "Mi Mi, you don't need to worry too much. As an actress, you'll only waste a little time at most."

"I...I'm fine!"

Yang Mi's lips trembled slightly as she forced a smile.

Even though the Mermaid Empire project was a scam, she didn't actually suffer any significant losses.

After all, this project was openly intended for Jiang Daheng's girlfriend from the very beginning.

A supporting role wasn't enough to make Yang Mi risk her life, nor did it cost her any money.

But the Mermaid Empire project
It has always been a seed of hope.

Buried deep within her heart, waiting for the day it sprouts!
When the night is quiet, she can always dream about how she can use this project to make a name for herself in front of the world and eventually gain international recognition like Zhang Ziyi.

Especially as Liu Yifei's career progressed,
The film she starred in won the Palme d'Or, she played a supporting role in Chen Kaige's film, one of her songs topped the Billboard charts, her acting in Mei Lanfang received rave reviews, and her role in "Starry Night" made her an idol for girls all over the world.
It seems that during the time they were in The Return of the Condor Heroes, that was the closest they ever came to achieving something in their lives!
And this hope,
It shattered at that moment.

This dead seed of hope,
It might stay in her heart forever!

"Actually, Director Gu only said that the script written by that boss was terrible and the investment was obviously inflated, but it's not impossible for the movie to be made. Maybe the result will be good!"

Seeing Yang Mi remain silent, Shu Chang felt a little embarrassed and began to comfort her.

"Yes, Mimi, this is a good opportunity!"

Liu Yifei also joined in offering words of comfort.

"It's alright, it's the entertainment industry, it's normal to encounter some unreliable projects!"

Yang Mi quickly revealed a smile, displaying a magnanimous expression.

After all, for her,
What is even more unbearable than pain is...
It's her pain that others see; what Yang Mi needs least is sympathy and comfort!
After a series of setbacks, Yang Mi finally fell silent, and the chaotic situation that had been giving Liu Yifei a headache finally dissipated.

Meanwhile, on Gu Bei's side...
He then mingled with the leaders of the Beijing Film Academy and the executives of film companies.

Just as the premiere ceremony was about to begin, he finally came out from inside and ran into a bald man outside.

"Director Gu!"

Xu Zheng greeted Gu Bei very warmly upon seeing him.

Tao Hong subtly tugged at her husband's arm, signaling him not to be so rash.

With so many actors on set,
No one dared to greet Gu Bei first.
Isn't it simply because there's such a huge difference in their status?
Gu Bei was walking, and they dared not disturb him, for fear of delaying his business and leaving a bad impression on him.

Isn't my husband usually quite clever?
Why was I so reckless today!

"Hello, Teacher Xu Zheng, and Teacher Tao Hong."

Gu Bei recognized the couple at a glance.

He still had a deep impression of Xu Zheng. Ten years later, in the years when he had just returned to China, Xu Zheng's box office appeal was at its peak.

As for Tao Hong, he had never seen her most famous role as Xiaolongnu; he only got to know her because of some unpleasant events.

"I already told you, Director Gu personally recommended me for this role!"

Xu Zheng boasted to Tao Hong beside him, while also warmly greeting Gu Bei, "I am so grateful for Director Gu's recommendation. I never expected that Director Gu would know a small actor like me!"

"No need to thank me, you yourself have a natural talent for comedy."

Gu Bei shook hands with Xu Zheng and said calmly, "When I received the script for 'Lost in Thailand,' I felt that your acting style was very suitable, and I decided on you for the role first."

Upon hearing Gu Bei's praise, Xu Zheng's face crinkled into a smile: "Thank you, Director Gu!"

Tao Hong also showed a look of surprise: "Thank you, Director Gu, for appreciating my husband!"

"Give it your all. Linlang Entertainment intends to turn this movie into a series."

Gu Bei waved his hand and said casually.

His words also served as a warning.
After all, Xu Zheng could bully the original producers of "Lost in Thailand".
But Gu Bei and Linlang Entertainment are not people Xu Zheng can afford to offend.

"I will definitely perform well!"

Xu Zheng didn't catch the hidden meaning in Gu Bei's words. After all, he had no intention of becoming a director yet. He just felt that Gu Bei's optimism made his future look brighter.

"By the way, haven't you turned your computers on yet?"

Gu Bei thought for a moment and then looked puzzled. "I remember the release date for Lost in Journey was during the Spring Festival, right?"

He gave people the movie "Lost in Thailand".
The planned release date is this year's Spring Festival.
For some reason, the movie "Lost in Thailand," which was originally about the Spring Festival travel rush, was released during the summer season, but it was completely overshadowed by other summer movies and didn't make a sound.

Shouldn't comedies like "Lost in Thailand" be shown during the Spring Festival so that everyone can have a good laugh?

but,

The current Spring Festival film season isn't actually that big.
The Lunar New Year film season is far superior to the Spring Festival film season.

Apart from Stephen Chow's movies, which are released during the Spring Festival, other big-budget films are all crammed into the Lunar New Year season, and many cinemas don't even open during the Spring Festival.

But this year is different.

Because this year there is a groundbreaking movie called 'Avatar',
Avatar was shown in China for a full three months and twenty-four days, becoming a hit from the Lunar New Year season all the way to the Spring Festival season.
In some ways, Avatar was the pioneering film of the Chinese New Year film season, initially demonstrating the potential of the Spring Festival film market.
Then it was Stephen Chow's turn, a long-time fan of the Spring Festival film season, who completely opened the door to this period with Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
Let this period become the most important period for Chinese films, bar none!

"The actors are unable to arrive at the moment, so we have to postpone it."

Xu Zheng showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

The movie was originally supposed to start filming in Jiangcheng soon, but because another lead actor, Wang Baoqiang, was not present, the filming could not start. So he simply came to the premiere to have some fun.

"Wang Baoqiang, right... It's normal for friction between companies!"

Gu Bei then remembered,
Wang Baoqiang is still an artist under Huayi Brothers.

However, just as Huang Xiaoming's relationship with Huayi is now ambiguous, Wang Baoqiang is not entirely under Huayi's control either, but Huayi can still make things difficult for Linlang Entertainment.

But whether it's the trip to Hangzhou or the Lost in Thailand...

When it's released,
Both of them have already left Huayi.
In any case, Gu Bei would never let Huayi benefit from this.

at this time,

Gu Bei turned his head to look at the commotion at the doorway.
Huayi Dawang CEO Wang Zhongjun happened to be there; speak of the devil and he appears!
