Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 104: It turns out you really are a movie maker!
Since everyone responded enthusiastically,

Then go in a bigger direction.

In North America, where entertainment is everything and exposure equals money,

Stephenie Meyer naturally would not refuse Gu Bei's proposal.

After the two discussed it, they announced on their respective social media accounts that the Twilight project had been launched, aiming for next year's summer vacation.

One stone caused a thousand waves.

Twilight fans were the happiest, leaving comments asking who would play the male lead Edward?
Stephenie Meyer responded on MySpace: "Henry Cavill is my perfect Edward."

There were a lot of people who agreed, but there were also some who opposed.

Gu Bei was also a little surprised after seeing it.

I didn't expect that Stephenie Meyer actually appreciated Henry's style.
However, Henry was born in 83 and is already 24 years old this year. He seems too old to play Edward, a high school student.

Compared to Stephenie Meyer's MySpace and personal website,
There was a roar of gongs and drums,
The outside world's evaluation of this is not polite at all.

Hollywood is open and exclusive.
Its openness lies in its ability to accommodate film talents from all over the world. Film talents of all styles from Asia and Europe will be attracted here and become one of the nutrients for the growth of Hollywood.

But it is an exclusive place,
The reason is that the Big Six have united various guilds and academies to control almost all the resources in Hollywood.

Gu Bei, an unknown best-selling author, suddenly came out to make a mid-range movie, which immediately attracted a lot of ridicule.

"God, this 20-year-old young man, I really doubt he can even spell the word 'movie'!"

"Let's make a bet on how many people he can recruit. He probably doesn't know that guild members are not allowed to participate in projects that the guild doesn't recognize!"

"I can already predict that there will be one more bankrupt homeless person in California next year!"

In addition to discussions on the Internet,
Entertainment Weekly even broke a bombshell.
Paramount Pictures, which originally held the copyright to the Twilight series,

The collaboration between Gu Bei and Stephenie Meyer was discussed at the executive meeting.

The whole scene laughed for ten minutes!
Brad Grey, the current chairman of Paramount Pictures, mocked it bluntly:

"I didn't expect Ms. Mel to be so capable that she could sell our unwanted garbage to idiots for a high price.

Who wants to see a high school girl and a vampire fall in love on a summer movie screen?

In the lounge.

Joel held up the Entertainment Weekly and said, "I heard this issue is selling like crazy. I thought you'd break into Hollywood, but not in this way."

"Why not read the good news?"

Gu Bei took a glance and took out a copy of The New York Times. The latest issue of the New York Times bestseller list was already out.

First place: The Hunger Games, Bruce Curry, priced at $27.99, not on the list last week, 1 week on the list

Undoubtedly the first place in the airborne landing!
After all, according to the rough estimate given to him by Random House,
The Hunger Games has sold over 15 copies in its first week.

Random House's first print run of 50 copies will soon be sold out, and some regions are already experiencing shortages.

He looked at the book prices on the list and couldn't help but sigh: "How expensive!"

Joel picked up the newspaper. "That's the normal price. Xingyun was priced too cheaply back then. Maybe we should release a collector's edition."

Don't look at the price of the book from Star Luck to The Hunger Games, which only increased from $20 to $28.

But with the increase in royalty rates, the royalties provided to Gu Bei for each book have doubled.

"Wait until I make Star Luck into a movie."

Gu Bei stood up and left the lounge, starting his autograph session today.

After signing a few people,
Gu Bei met a demanding fan. She pressed the cover of the book and asked him, "Bruce, why don't you continue writing books and instead make movies? As someone who has never made a movie before, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Gu Bei saw that she was giving him advice earnestly and was really worried about him, afraid that he would go bankrupt.

In North America, bankruptcy for a period of time can indeed pay off all debts.

But bankrupts often have a narrow escape from death.

Because if relatives or friends support the bankrupt for a long time, they will be included in the list of joint debtors and will need to help the bankrupt repay the debt.

So bankrupts are often homeless, without jobs, homes, friends, or family.

People like this often don't live for many years.

"I think you should get to know me better."

Gu Bei smiled at her and said, "Actually, I wrote Star Luck in order to raise funds to shoot a short film. Film has always been my dream, and I have always been on this path."

"Ah... is that so?"

Annabelle was just a little girl and immediately looked embarrassed.

She let go of her hand, let Gu Bei sign, and returned home with a heavy heart.

Once back in the room,
She repeated what Gu Bei had just said.
Shared it with my friends via Facebook.

"He's a deceitful lunatic!"

a classmate commented on her feed.

This immediately aroused Annabelle's rebuttal.
She began searching online and soon found the report on the Boston Globe website.

Although she didn't know what the Sundance Film Festival was, it didn't stop her from recognizing that the person in the middle of the report was Gu Bei.

Moreover, the report also mentioned that Gu Bei received applause for more than ten minutes.

"I knew Bruce wouldn't lie!"

Annabella excitedly shared the news on her Facebook again.

The classmate who had scolded Gu Bei before soon saw this information stream.

"It seems I have misunderstood him."

Annabella is just a microcosm of Gu Bei's fans.

At the time, some readers at the Random House bookstore recognized Gu Beilai because of that report.

This shows that this report is actually not difficult to find.

Within a few days,

This Boston Globe report on the Sundance Film Festival,
It received unprecedented number of views and became the most viewed article on the Boston Globe website!

Those netizens who mocked Gu Bei and waited to see Gu Bei's bankruptcy joke,

Suddenly I realized,
So you really are a movie maker!
This reversal caused the heat, which had been slightly subsiding, to explode again.

The reporters all had sharp noses. After sensing this wave of reversal, they immediately began to dig deep into the story behind Gu Bei. They had sensed even greater heat.

Gu Bei had never concealed his actions in New York.
No reporters paid attention to it before.

Now we started digging, and with one shovelful, we immediately dug up another big piece of stuff.

Anthony Hopkins guest-stars in Gu Bei's first feature film, and the film has already been completed!
