Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 366 I'm Fishing for You, Little Goldfish Golden Horse Awards Opening

Gu Bei anticipated that Liu Xiaoli could react in many different ways.

But he never expected that Liu Xiaoli would trick him in such a way, just like Liu Yifei did.
Liu Yifei, hurry up and get out of your mother's body!
"Let's have a good chat!"

When Liu Xiaoli turned the corner,
He even turned around and waved to Gu Bei, giving him a word of advice.

Looking back,
A triumphant smile appeared on Liu Xiaoli's face.

I'm not going to get involved in what's going on between you two young people!

"Hello, Director Gu!"

After the assistant opened the door, she found it was Gu Bei.

She very tactfully walked out of the lounge.
He gestured to Gu Bei that he could go in by himself.

She even looked at Gu Bei with a smug look,

It seems to be saying, "This is a private world I created for the two of you!"

Gu Bei rolled his eyes at her.
Then we went into the lounge.
Liu Yifei was lying on the sofa, reading a fashion magazine. The pillows and blankets she was using were clearly from home and featured her favorite bright colors.

A beautiful woman reading on a couch should be a very elegant scene.

But it's obvious that Liu Yifei can't achieve that graceful body curve while lying down.
She had absolutely no goddess-like image; she did whatever made her comfortable, as if she considered the lounge her home.

"Do you really consider this place your home?"

Gu Bei leaned closer and couldn't help but complain.

Liu Yifei looked up slightly and saw Gu Bei through the spine of the book, but she didn't show any surprise.

She simply said, "Anyway, no one will come."

This is exactly what I'm worried about!
Gu Bei started to feel a headache coming on.

If it were a regular film crew...
Even if Liu Yifei doesn't have any goddess image to maintain,
There's definitely no way to feel as relaxed as here.

But in the Gravity crew, she was the only actress on set, without even a stunt double, and she didn't even need to worry about other actors coming to visit or talk to her.

All she needs to do each day is take photos.
Then go back to the lounge for a meal and rest.

I go home after get off work.

Even during holidays, I stay at home.

Actors, whose jobs involve working day and night, were transformed into working nine-to-five jobs right next to home on the set of Gravity.

"What's that in your hand?"

Liu Yifei glanced at the bag in Gu Bei's hand.

"I just ran into Aunt Liu. She said these are the books your dad asked someone to bring back for you." Gu Bei handed her the bag.

"finally reached!"

Liu Yifei sat up straight immediately.

She put the fashion magazine aside and began to unwrap An Shaokang's gift.

"So excited?"

Gu Bei was slightly surprised.

This was the time he had seen Liu Yifei with the greatest emotional fluctuation since she got into character.

"Because some of these books are hard to find in China, my dad specially sent them to me," Liu Yifei said, a hint of happiness in her voice as she unwrapped the gift.

"I see!"

Gu Bei nodded thoughtfully.

Hobbies are a good way to stimulate emotions.
Furthermore, hobbies themselves are an important way for people to alleviate loneliness.

While Liu Yifei was unwrapping her gifts,
He picked up the fashion magazine that Liu Yifei had just been looking at, wanting to see what content would interest her and perhaps find a solution.

"Ugh……"

Liu Yifei wanted to stop him.

But by the time she found out, it was too late.

Gu Bei picked up the fashion magazine he had just read and saw a large picture of Liu Yifei inside. She was wearing a pure black suit and exuding a goddess-like aura.

He looked at Liu Yifei with some surprise: "You were just looking at your own photos. Isn't it enough to just look at yourself in the mirror?"

"What girl doesn't love to look good? It's just that we don't usually have that much energy to take care of ourselves..."

Liu Yifei blushed slightly.
I should have closed the magazines.

She never expected that Gu Bei would catch her while she was being vain.

If this continues, what secrets will she have left in front of Gu Bei?

However, as she spoke, Liu Yifei became more assertive: "Besides... standing in front of a mirror is tiring, and posing for photos is even more tiring. Isn't it much simpler to just look at the latest fashion magazines?"

That's certainly the truth.
The purpose of taking photos is to preserve them for future reference.

No matter how much effort you put into dressing up, nothing beats the ease of showing off in a good photoshoot!

But if you find it too tiring to stand in front of the mirror and pose, isn't that a bit too relaxed?
Gu Bei was somewhat speechless at her arrogance stemming from her beauty. Then, noticing the magazine's interior pages, he said with slight surprise, "It's Dior again. Did they buy these pages for you?"

Gu Bei never paid any attention to luxury goods or luxury brand endorsements before.

I only found out later that
Compared to ordinary consumer brands that only have one brand ambassador,
At most, they might be categorized into Greater China, Asia, or Global levels.

As representatives of capitalism, luxury brands have integrated brand image management into the very fabric of their companies.

Luxury brand spokespeople are generally divided into three levels: brand ambassadors, brand representatives, and brand friends.

There's also the difference between official announcements and non-official announcements.
There are even differences in the officially announced treatment.

In short, the hierarchy is laid out openly and divided very strictly.

To become a spokesperson for a luxury brand, you first need to endorse and collaborate with the brand, and then move up the ranks step by step, just like leveling up in a game.

Even among the current "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China), the first to officially announce a luxury brand endorsement was Li Bingbing, who became Montblanc's Asia-Pacific brand ambassador two years ago.

As for top luxury brands like Dior

The relationship between the four actresses and two ice cream brands remains at the level of cooperation and brand ambassadorship.

"Ah."

Liu Yifei admitted, "I've worn Dior dresses a few times before, and they thought they were pretty good, so they wanted to collaborate with us. This magazine spread is just the beginning."

They've even prepared my gown for the Golden Horse Awards.

It's basically an unannounced brand ambassadorship.
Gu Bei made a prediction.
Being a brand ambassador gives you the opportunity to rent clothing from a brand and enhance your personal style on various important occasions, while the brand gains traffic and sales.

The reason for the difference between official and unofficial announcements is that brands also need to consider public opinion and assess the level of favorability towards the celebrity among their VIP and VIC customers.

But Liu Yifei definitely doesn't need to worry about this.

Although Gu Bei didn't understand luxury goods,
But when listening to gossip
I've heard that Liu Yifei is very popular with top luxury brands because their VIP and VIC customers often adore her.

Just then, Gu Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He had been thinking about how to distract Liu Yifei, and this was a perfect direction.

Did you bring your paintbrushes?

Gu Bei knew that Liu Yifei always liked to draw and write, and when she went out, in addition to books, she would often bring her sketchbook and paintbrushes.

"what happened?"

As Liu Yifei got up to find Gu Bei sketchbooks and paintbrushes, she asked him curiously.

"I have a tiny bit of inspiration!"

Gu Bei tapped Liu Yifei's head with the back of his pencil.

Liu Yifei glared at Gu Bei, looking like a wronged goldfish.

However, she couldn't help but reveal a look of curiosity in her eyes.

She had always known that Gu Bei's painting skills were quite good.
Much better than her, an amateur artist.

But aside from film storyboards, Gu Bei rarely showcases his drawing skills.

I wonder what surprises this time will bring me?
The last time Gu Bei showed off his painting skills, he brought her an original drawing of Frozen!
"Swish!"

Under Liu Yifei's curious gaze,
Gu Bei casually scribbled on the drawing paper with his pencil.

A silhouette quickly appeared, and it was undoubtedly her again.
This time, however, the brushstrokes didn't resemble those of a Disney princess as much as before. Instead, they leaned more towards a classical and antique feel, with the pencil drawing creating a slight illusion of ink painting.

"Is this another animated film? It seems like it!"

Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, guessed for a moment, and then immediately rejected her own idea.

"You could call it a formal dress, or you could call it... well, let's just treat it as a formal dress, a style of formal dress adapted from traditional clothing."

Gu Bei said casually, handing the still slightly rough image quality to Liu Yifei, "Do you like it?"

"like!"

Liu Yifei nodded, "Although I've never seen clothes like this before, I can tell at a glance that they're from our own culture, just like..."

"It's like cultural heritage!"

Gu Bei picked up where she left off, then handed the pencil to Liu Yifei, saying, "Then you can continue to refine it, and wear it on an occasion that belongs to you."

"really?"

Liu Yifei looked up and met Gu Bei's gaze.
Gu Bo's gaze was unperturbed compared to when Gu Bei entered.
His eyes now radiate more energy, with a hint of excitement.

"of course it's true!"

Gu Bei smiled faintly, "My inspiration also came from you, so it's definitely going to be handed over to you!"

Gu Bei remembered that Liu Yifei had her own little ideas about fashion.

Her most famous incident involving a knock-off dress.
It came from her spontaneous little touch of styling for the dress.

Ultimately, through various twists and turns, a dress by a well-known designer was transformed into a counterfeit dress, all to provide evidence for the absurd argument that Liu Yifei's resources had plummeted at that time.

In the end, even the reason why the designer committed suicide due to depression was inexplicably attributed to her.

Gu Bei asked Liu Yifei to refine the final design of this dress in order to leverage Liu Yifei's interest in fashion and help her mitigate the consequences of getting too immersed in the role.

After all, Liu Yifei might be quite indifferent before she becomes interested.

But once she becomes interested in studying it, she goes...

Then they often start pursuing perfection, not caring at all about how much they have to invest.
Gu Bei knew that if he directly advised her to invest less in the role, Liu Yifei would definitely not listen to him; she was always willing to give her all when it came to acting.

but,

Gu Bei has now given her another thing that interests her.
So once Liu Yifei becomes interested, she can dedicate herself to this project, which should be enough to sustain her until the filming of Gravity is finished.

This trick is called fishing, and it's designed to catch you, Liu Yifei, this little goldfish!

"What kind of occasion would that be?"

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Bei with some curiosity, and just then she saw Gu Bei's smug expression.

"As for the occasion, that depends on the final time you finish!"

Gu Bei casually remarked, "You'll have quite a few important occasions next year!"

Liu Yifei looked Gu Bei over suspiciously.
Based on her understanding of Gu Bei, she felt that there was something wrong with Gu Bei's smug expression.

"I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it!"

During the subsequent filming process,

Gu Bei could clearly sense that Liu Yifei had become more cheerful.
Although the feeling of loneliness she felt still lingered, it at least didn't intensify, and she also needed to immerse herself in the role to some extent during filming.

As long as this situation doesn't worsen, there's no problem!

November passed slowly as filming continued.
The filming of Gravity is basically complete; only a few scattered shots remain.

However, at the end of November,
Gu Bei adjusted his filming schedule, allowing two days for attending the Golden Horse Awards. After all, it's one of the three major Chinese film awards, so he still gave the Golden Horse Awards some face.

Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Because mainland China and Taiwan have not yet achieved full connectivity, there are only two routes for flights between the two places: the northern route, which opened last year, and the southern route, which opened this year.

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei have been filming in Kyoto, so they would definitely be taking a flight from the south, and flying from Shanghai would be the most convenient and hassle-free route.

"Hello, Director Gu!"

When Huang Xiaoming met Gu Bei, he greeted him very warmly.

Gu Bei nodded to Huang Xiaoming and greeted him.

Even though Gu Bei and Huayi had such a falling out before, which even caused Huayi's stock price to plummet, Huang Xiaoming was still as enthusiastic as ever when he saw Gu Bei.

They seemed completely unaffected by the impact on Huayi's stock price and harbored no resentment towards Gu Bei.

Of course, this doesn't mean Huang Xiaoming has high emotional intelligence.
It's also possible that he simply didn't expect Huayi's stock price to reach such a high level.
It has already exceeded expectations, so naturally he won't think too much about it. After all, his Huayi shares are all original shares worth one yuan each, which is almost equivalent to getting the shares for free.

After the three met, along with their assistants and other staff, the large group boarded the plane together and headed to Taiwan.

"I never expected this place to be like this!"

Gu Bei sat in the van that came to pick them up, curiously looking out the window at Taipei. This was his first time visiting Taiwan.

"Hehe, I came here before when the TV series was being promoted!"

Liu Yifei asked Gu Bei triumphantly, "How do you feel about this place?"

"We're falling behind!"

Gu Bei commented casually.

"Cough cough!"

Huang Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, coughed twice in alarm.

Director Gu, isn't this a bit too daring?
