Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 405 You two are the perfect team!
Thierry has seen far too many talented actors in his life.

But when he saw Liu Yifei's desperate eyes as she spun in space, accompanied by the background music of her rapid breathing in the light and the background music of her heartbeat in the shadows.

This highly dramatic performance still left him feeling a sense of awe.

"Oh shit! What a stupid thing I just did!"

Thierry felt a pang of guilt.

Before the movie even started, he actually suspected that Liu Yifei was able to get the lead role in Gravity because of her status as the founder of Rose Pictures.

His performance in the movie completely overturned his previous ideas!

"Snapped!"

The lights in the screening room came on, pulling everyone back from the world of the movie to reality.

Han Sanpin still felt a little uneasy.
He immediately looked at Thierry, who was wearing 3D glasses, but because of the 3D glasses, he couldn't capture Thierry's current state.

He probably wouldn't have been this attentive to other movies.

But he had high hopes for gravity.

The film brings together some of the most successful Chinese directors, actresses, and actors from overseas.

It used the largest production budget in China, the most popular science fiction theme in the world, and the hottest 3D technology in the current film market.
This can be described as the most perfect and ultimate blockbuster in Han Sanpin's blockbuster plan, and it cannot afford to fail!

Simultaneously,

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei also looked at Thierry.
They didn't understand what the Cannes Film Festival director was doing sitting there, not reacting at all after the film ended.

at this time,

Thierry had just taken off his glasses when

He stood up excitedly, turned around and applauded Gu Bei and Liu Yifei.

The Cannes film selectors next to them saw their film director applauding and immediately followed suit.

Han Sanpin was slightly taken aback, but applause was a traditional part of the film festival, and since the friendly nations had applauded, they naturally couldn't be left behind.

The huge screening room,

Their applause created a lively atmosphere.

The movie theater customers walking by looked curiously at the screening room guarded by two bodyguards at the entrance, some wondering what movie was being shown in this mysterious screening room that was making such a commotion.

"Bruce, I have to say you've delivered another perfect work since La La Land!"

Thierry had already been enthusiastic enough towards Gu Bei, but now his enthusiasm was even greater. "I really like the thoughts in your film."

When humanity is stripped of all social attributes, only the insignificance of the individual and the vastness of the universe remain. Only in such a moment can we truly question the essence of life itself and existentialism, ultimately achieving rebirth from adversity—this is truly the best response to the nature of life!

"Live to die!"

Gu Bei smiled faintly.

This quote, from Martin Heidegger, the founder of existentialism, is arguably the best summary of one of the themes of gravity.

According to Heidegger's concept, humans are created beings who are thrown into the world (coming to earth against their will), have limited abilities, exist between life and death, are bewildered by their encounters, and are filled with deep-seated worries and anxieties, yet are ultimately insignificant.

Humans cannot avoid falling into depravity through contemplation or gritting their teeth in imagination; only in critical, marginal, or extreme states can one return to their 'true self'.

Death is undoubtedly a very typical critical state. Rebirth from death and dealing with life's difficulties with sincerity is the core of the story of gravity.

This is also why Gu Bei felt so comfortable filming Gravity, because the reborn are the epitome of living towards death!
"It's wonderful! This movie is as beautiful as a Shakespearean sonnet!"

Thierry said excitedly to Gu Bei.

This work shows that even though Gu Bei has started to move into mainstream commercial films, he is still pursuing progress. With world-class special effects and 3D effects, Gu Bei's thinking has become even more profound.

Subsequently,

Thierry then looked at Liu Yifei beside Gu Bei.
A hint of apology appeared on his face: "I'm very sorry, Ms. Liu, I apologize for my slight to you just now. Your performance amazed me."

What's even more special is that you're an actor with a unique charisma, and Bruce perfectly brought out that unique quality in you.

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Bei with a smile, her eyes sparkling as if they held light.

Thierry's words resonated with her.
In fact, since she obtained the system and began her comeback, she has already worked with quite a few famous and renowned directors.

Even top Chinese directors like Chen Kaige and Wang Jiawei could only impress her with their skill, but they never had the same chemistry with Gu Bei when filming "The Message," "The Wrong Star," and "Gravity."

Now that she heard Thierry's words, she finally understood the reason.

Other directors could film her well, but only Gu Bei could bring out her unique charm.

She said softly, "This is my good fortune!"

"It's also my good fortune to have met an actor who can portray the loneliness of gravity!"

Gu Bei turned around and smiled at her, answering very naturally.

During the final round of auditions for "Gravity," Liu Yifei's unique sense of loneliness made Gu Bei more determined to give up on Gong Li.

In contrast, Gong Li, or rather all of Zhang Yimou's leading ladies, have a penetrating sense of ambition in their eyes.

Even though Gong Li's acting skills are superb and she can perfectly conceal the ambition in her eyes, she still can't move Gu Bei.

“You two are the perfect team!” Thierry said from the bottom of his heart.

Similarly,

He just mentioned this before looking at gravity.

Last time he described it as a perfect partnership between producer and director, without even realizing that Liu Yifei is also an actress.
But this time he was talking about the perfect partnership between actors and directors.

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei revealed a faint smile.

Then, she raised an eyebrow at Gu Bei, as if showing off to him, or as if asking for his credit.

After Thierry finished talking with the two men, he started walking towards the door.

But then he suddenly realized something, quickly turned around, and said to Han Sanpin, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Han, thank you for your hospitality this time!"

"it's okay no problem!"

Han Sanpin waved his hand.

Despite the fact that these people from China Film Group put in both money and effort to organize this screening, it was indeed a bit embarrassing that Thierry forgot about it in the end.

But this precisely illustrates the allure of gravity.

Before watching Gravity, Thierry was warm and polite to Gu Bei, but somewhat dismissive of Liu Yifei.
But after watching Gravity,
Thierry was incredibly enthusiastic towards Gu Bei, and he also valued Liu Yifei immensely.

These are all examples of how gravity conquered Thierry!
Let's chat for a while.

Thierry left again, and Han Sanpin came to Gu Bei's side and asked, "Director Gu, how sincere do you think the other party is?"

"very!"

Gu Bei smiled and said to Han Sanpin, "Chairman Han, please relax. It's us choosing Cannes now, not Cannes choosing us."

If Cannes doesn't offer enough resources, I wouldn't even want to go there. There are plenty of film festivals willing to let us go!

Can we just pick any Cannes film now?
Han Sanpin never expected that Gu Bei would be even more domineering than him, the Third Master.

After Thierry left

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei also left China Film Group.
The two cuddled together in the van, knowing they would soon be parting ways again. Gu Bei was going back to New York to film Spider-Man, while Liu Yifei would be staying in China to work.

"It's all your fault! My hands are still sticky and uncomfortable!"

Liu Yifei stretched out her palm to Gu Bei with some distress. Her fingers were as delicate as scallions, with some popcorn stains still on them.

I hadn't noticed it while we were in the movie theater, but because we were holding hands the whole time, our sweat mixed with some of the popcorn sugar, making it feel a bit sticky.

"so what should I do now?"

When Gu Bei heard Liu Yifei mention it, he also felt a bit of discomfort in his hand.

It feels like pouring cola on your hand, and after a few minutes, the water evaporates, leaving only a thin layer of sugar film that's hard to wash off without water, and there's always some residue in some corners.

Liu Yifei looked up and met Gu Bei's gaze, a mischievous look in her eyes.

Oops!

Gu Bei immediately became alert.

When Liu Yifei has this kind of expression, it often means she has a sudden inspiration, but she is usually the one who suffers the consequences.

However, he was still a step too late. Liu Yifei took advantage of Gu Bei's inattention and wiped his face. The stains were only stuck on her fingers, and with a gentle wipe, they were transferred to Gu Bei's cheek.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Liu Yifei burst into laughter, her bright eyes looking at Gu Bei with great pride, "Isn't this enough?"

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Seeing Liu Yifei's smug expression, Gu Bei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Liu Yifei immediately became alert as well. Whenever Gu Bei showed this behavior, it meant that Gu Bei had a way to deal with her, and she usually couldn't outmaneuver Gu Bei.

"I have a better idea!"

Gu Bei grabbed Liu Yifei's small hand and put it directly into his mouth.

Liu Yifei tensed up instantly, her whole body taut like a bowstring. She glanced cautiously ahead, then slowly relaxed and whispered to Gu Bei, "Pervert!"

Are you sure this isn't a compliment?

Gu Bei said nonchalantly.

Liu Yifei's hands are so beautiful, so many people want to eat them but can't!
"Hmm~"

Liu Yifei let out a very soft moan, so soft that Gu Bei almost didn't hear it.

She tried to pull away while Gu Bei was speaking, but Gu Bei had already anticipated this move. He firmly grasped her wrist and even gently bit her delicate fingertips as a warning.

Liu Yifei struggled for a moment, and that was it; then she simply started swinging.

After all, the two of them were already very familiar with each other, and apart from the inappropriate occasion, there wasn't really any major problem.

at this time,

The assistant in the passenger seat suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Xixi, something bad has happened! Someone's hacking us..."

The assistant turned around with her phone, seemingly wanting to hand it to Liu Yifei to see something, but upon seeing the expressions of the two bosses in the back row, she froze on the spot.

What should I do? What should I do? Will I get fired?

"give it to me!"

Gu Bei felt Liu Yifei in his arms tense up again, like a fully drawn bowstring. Her pretty face still looked calm, but a faint blush had appeared on her fair cheeks.

Even though Liu Yifei is no longer the shy little girl she used to be when she was seen being intimate with Gu Bei.

But the current situation is beyond her control.

"Okay, okay!"

The assistant quickly handed his phone to Gu Bei, turned around, and sat upright in the passenger seat like a primary school student.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Liu Yifei withdrew her hand, punched Gu Bei with her small fist, and then distanced herself from Gu Bei.

Gu Bei didn't care too much. Anyway, there weren't many opportunities for the two of them to get close in Kyoto. Given Liu Yifei's personality, she wouldn't hold a grudge for that long.

However, the contents of his assistant's phone made Gu Bei frown: "Someone is trying to harm you!"

"what?"

Liu Yifei curiously came closer.

She glanced at her assistant's phone, which displayed a WAP webpage for Tianya Forum, specially redesigned for mobile phones.

So that's what happened! I misjudged Liu Yifei!

"The original poster wasn't originally a fan of Liu Yifei, but only started paying attention to her because of the Oscars. Her company, Rose Pictures, is currently the most successful Chinese production company in Hollywood, which is why the poster became a fan."

After reading the newspaper report, I did some research and found that the more I researched, the clearer I became about Liu Yifei.

For example, the reason she concealed the existence of Rose Pictures was for Huayi Brothers' Kung Fu King project. After filming, she turned around and broke the verbal agreement she had made with Huayi Brothers.

For example, the story was originally intended to be the absolute female lead for Zhang Ziyi, but because Liu Yifei's interests were intertwined with Gu Bei's, it became a dual female lead story, allowing Liu Yifei to win a Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

What worries me most is the gravity project.

The final audition was a showdown between Liu Yifei and Gong Li, and Liu Yifei actually won! Can you believe it?
It turns out that Rose Pictures was the biggest investor in "Gravity," so the so-called auditions were clearly just a formality. I feel disheartened for all the actresses who auditioned. No wonder Zhang Ziyi ended up falling out with Gu Bei and Liu Yifei!

A post completely fabricated from rumors.

Since this is Tianya Forum, there's no need to read the comments below.

Gu Bei directly clicked on the report that the original poster had mentioned seeing, which was an article from a traditional print media outlet: "[Liu Yifei and Rose Pictures' success is nothing to be proud of; we should be more concerned about the development of Chinese cinema]."

Clearly, the so-called report was just a prelude; what they really wanted people to see were the rumors in the post.

This technique... looks somewhat familiar!
"Who do you think it could be?"

After reading it, Liu Yifei calmly said.

Gu Bei looked up at Liu Yifei, who was very skilled at it, with some heartache, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Huayi!"
