Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 105 A New Face Comes to Hollywood

When this news came out,

Hollywood insiders immediately understood what was going on.

Gu Bei is not a madman at all, but a director who grew up under the orthodox Hollywood radiation system.

The Sundance Film Festival is Hollywood's private domain.
What kind of films can be sold at the Sundance Film Market?

The highest price is only a few million dollars, and only a few films can break even.
Its main function is to provide Hollywood with a steady stream of talent.

Gu Bei won the short film award at the Sundance Film Festival, and was then noticed by Hollywood producers to direct his first feature film. This is a very orthodox route for Hollywood directors.

It's just hype!
See through, don’t tell,
After another round of media reports,

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

Once again refreshed my cognition,

You can just shoot short films.
How did you actually end up making a feature film?

Amidst all this noise, the latest New York Times bestseller list for the week has been released again.

First place: The Hunger Games, Bruce Coo, ranked first last week, on the list for 1 weeks

The Hunger Games once again maintained its top spot on the bestseller list with sales of 16 copies in its second week.

With the book market slowly recovering in April, it is unlikely that any new book will replace The Hunger Games, and The Hunger Games will remain at the forefront for a long time.

And at the end of the rankings, an unexpected name appeared.

No. 59, Twilight, Stephenie Meyer, no release last week, weeks on the charts

Twilight has been off the charts for over two years.

Suddenly rushed to the list this week,

Even if she only ranked last, it meant that she had indeed benefited a lot during this period.

"Bruce, thank you so much! My book reading at Arizona State University sold out in just six hours.

Oh my god, that’s crazy!”

Stephanie Meyer called to express her gratitude.

She has also recently been pre-launching the Twilight 3 solar eclipse in major cities. Now that she has received additional exposure, various activities are obviously much easier to organize.

There is no way, publishing houses have always been flat,

These events are funded by local bookstores, provided that the author can attract enough readers.

Just like Xingyun in the past, it was because of the popularity in New York that so many bookstores were able to invite Gu Bei to sign books.

"Congratulations, Ms. Meier."

Gu Bei congratulated very sincerely.

The more popular Twilight is, the more valuable the film and television adaptation rights he holds!
Actually,
Gu Bei could also clearly feel that the readers who came to sign books recently had a better attitude than before.

Readers have gone from doubting him in the beginning to recommending him as an actor with a bright future.

This shows that readers have begun to look forward to the adaptation of Xing Yun.

Just when Gu Bei's popularity was gradually declining,
Théri Frémaux, artistic director of the Cannes International Film Festival, announced the final list of nominees for the main competition unit of the 60th Anniversary of Cannes.

Coppola, Scorsese, Schlöndorff... and other masters were not selected.
Also, Kang Min's highly anticipated "The Sun Also Rises" is not on the list.

A name that has been frequently seen in entertainment news recently.

Quietly hidden in 22 movies.

Facing the questions from the media reporters,
Why were so many film masters eliminated by the Cannes film selection team?

Thierry Frémaux responded naturally: "The Cannes selection team has never forgotten the most basic principle: a genuine love for cinema.

During this film selection process, we only have our eyes on the future, and we are now witnessing the arrival of a new generation.

For example, Bruce from Whiplash, like 12 other films, entered the main competition unit of Cannes for the first time.

But the difference is that this is his first feature film. We are looking forward to the performance of this new generation at Cannes!"

Whiplash?
I feel like I've been hearing this name a lot lately!

Isn’t this the movie made by that best-selling author a while ago?

When Gu Bei's news appeared along with the news about Cannes,
Those netizens who mocked Gu Bei and waited to see Gu Bei's bankruptcy joke,

They are tired.

In just half a month,

Their understanding of Gu Bei,

From the beginning, a cocky madman,

Then to a writer who can make movies,

Here comes another director who can write books,
Now he has become a director who has entered the main competition unit of Cannes, and it is also his first feature film in his life!
For a time,

Gu Bei, like Quentin, David Fincher, and Wang Jiawei, has become a favorite at this year's Cannes.

There are not many directors that people can name this year, which leads many people to want to see what kind of quality Gu Bei's Whiplash Drummer is.

at the same time,

Pre-sales for the third Twilight Saga film, Eclipse, are now open.

Over 100,000 copies were pre-sold in three days!

No one noticed before this.

In fact, Twilight has attracted much more discussion on the Internet than any other books of the same sales volume.

The sales of books including Gu Bei's Star Fortune are no worse than Twilight, but the discussion heat is not even a fraction of Twilight.

And these heated discussions finally began to materialize in the pre-sale of the third film, Eclipse.
Gu Bei has recently brought Twilight into the public eye, further accelerating the realization of these heated discussions.

A phenomenal effect called "Twilight" finally began to slowly emerge.

Some reporters were brave enough to call Paramount Pictures.
I would like to ask Brad Grey, who previously mocked Gu Bei and Ms. Mel, what he thinks about this.

Unsurprisingly, Paramount Pictures declined to comment.

And just now, at Entertainment Weekly, a reporter was fired after he broke the news about Brad Grey's remarks at an executive meeting.

……

Post it.

A post titled "A New Face in Hollywood" appeared.

He recounted the recent incident that Gu Bei had encountered in North America.

"Second floor!"

"The OP's story is well told and very passionate, but the logic is a little lacking."

"Hahaha, this is killing me! A Chinese student made a movie in North America, made it to Hollywood, and even entered the main competition section at Cannes. Can you little pinks at least use some logic when making up stories?"

"I feel like changing it to North American Chinese has some credibility, after all, the education there is better!"

"The likelihood of a Chinese student writing a best-selling book in North America is about the same as the probability of the Chinese national football team qualifying for the 2010 World Cup!"

"I think the Chinese national team has a better chance of qualifying, and Deng Zhuoxiang is still good enough."

The topic immediately shifted to the Chinese national football team.

Until I passed more than ten floors,
Finally, someone checked and restored the building.

"It's true. There's a guy named Bruce Gu on the Cannes shortlist. Even if he's not a Chinese student, he must be Chinese."

"I just checked IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and found a surprise: Liu Yifei is among the actors!"

"Holy crap! Sister Fairy is shortlisted for Cannes?"
