Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 28 Liu Yifei: I changed the future!

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil.

He completely ignored his own human-machine performance.

The boss's word "young couple" almost made her brain CPU burn out.

She quickly reviewed today's scene in her mind.

Gu Bei gave me a Star Avenue souvenir. Although I like it very much, but... this is not a gift for me alone. Others also have souvenirs.

Yeah, no problem!
Then, I asked Gu Bei where to buy Christmas items, and Gu Bei accompanied me to the Christmas market. Although Gu Bei's movements of following me were very natural, but... I was not familiar with Manhattan, and besides, it is a common practice for directors to please investors.

Well, that’s no problem!

In the end, we bought two boxes of things, one for each of us. This... was just not easy to carry by myself. Mainly because my mother flew to New York late, and she was busy before Stepfather's Day, so I needed to take care of everything myself.

Well, of course there is no problem at all!

Liu Yifei's brain finally started working again.

Finally, the absolutely fair Liu Yifei made a judgment: "This boss has poor eyesight."

When passing by a small stall, she looked at herself carefully in front of the mirror as if she was looking at something.

Fortunately, apart from the blush on her cheeks caused by the wind, there was no other obvious blushing.

only……

Why do my ears feel too hot?
Gu Bei followed behind her and saw it clearly.

Before, he thought Zhou Qianqian was a straightforward person and would not feel shy.

Only now did I realize that her blushing started from the back to the front. First, her neck turned slightly red, then her earlobes turned bright red, and finally her cheeks, like a charging blushing progress bar.

The current progress is only about 50%, and it is still slowly decreasing.

"Sure enough, she's still a little girl of her age!"

Gu Bei always felt that Zhou Qianqian was much more mature than other girls of the same age. When she acted, she was more straightforward like other girls of the same age and seemed a little silly.

Now that I think about it, it must be because he had seen a lot since he was young and had a better upbringing.

But the family is well protected and there is no need to use so many means of communication.

Gu Bei sent her to a taxi and went to Brooklyn himself.

Although people in Manhattan often subconsciously look down on people in Brooklyn, and are even unwilling to admit that Brooklynites are New Yorkers.

But Brooklyn is still the most populous district in New York, and its image as a slum is very different from that of decades ago.

Photographer Eric and his family live in Brooklyn.

Gu Bei was also invited by Eric's enthusiastic wife to stay for a meal.

When leaving,
Eric glanced at Gu Bei with a hint of resentment.

Gu Bei gave him an apologetic look in return.

There was no way, mainly because Eric had only mentioned to him his youngest daughter, who was only seven years old now, but he did not mention that his eldest daughter was only three years older than the youngest.

When Gu Bei took out the Disney doll style that was only available in the Hollywood store.

The younger daughter was indeed ecstatic.

But the eldest daughter looked at the doll with the same envy.

I wonder if Eric can sleep tonight?
Anyway, Eric and his wife invited him to stay for one night, but Gu Bei, the culprit, refused very firmly.

Back to the Manhattan apartment.

Gu Bei lay down on the sofa, looking a little tired.

As soon as I landed today, I went to Zhou Qiqi and then to Brooklyn. I had almost no time to stop and rest along the way.

"Huh!" Gu Bei took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Then I get up from the sofa, open my laptop, and check my email first.

When working and studying in North America, it is really impossible to leave the email.

I once heard a joke from hell that before being taken away by the god of death, one must check the mailbox to see if there are any unanswered emails.

Of course, it’s not that exaggerated, but it’s still necessary to check your email every morning and evening.

Open your mailbox.

Joel received an email from two film companies that wanted to buy the film and television copyrights and asked Gu Bei when to arrange a meeting.

The teacher’s email contains the grade for Gu Bei’s paper, A-. If I calculate the score, I should be able to get the credits for this course.

and also……

Email from the Sundance Film Festival Selection Committee!

“Congratulations on your short film ‘The Tuner’ being selected for the Short Films section of the 23rd Sundance Film Festival.”

Gu Bei's expression was calm, but a ripple still arose in his heart.

There are many categories at the Sundance Film Festival where short films can be shortlisted, including Frontier and Midnight, but there are only two official categories.

A short film unit and a feature short film unit.

The former, the unit that Gu Bei was shortlisted for, is basically equivalent to the main competition unit for feature films.

The latter, although it can also compete for the Short Film Honorable Mention Award,
But it cannot be officially screened at the film festival, and being shortlisted is equivalent to not being shortlisted, if it is shortlisted!

If "The Tuner" wants to win an award, it only has three options.

The first prize, of course, is the Short Film Jury Award, the first grand prize.

The second grand prize is the Short Film Special Jury Award.

The remaining one is the Short Film Honorable Mention Award mentioned earlier. The short film unit can also compete. Generally, six or seven short films will win the award at the same time, which is a consolation prize.

There is also an International Short Film Jury Award, which is given to short films outside of North America. The competition is relatively small, and the value is basically equivalent to a consolation prize.

Gu Bei picked up his phone, edited text messages, and sent them to Antonio, Eric, and Zhou Qianqian respectively.

I don’t know if it was the perfect timing, but Antonio called him immediately and said a lot of things excitedly.

After hanging up the phone, I found that there were several missed calls.

There was only one Eric, so when I couldn't get through to him, I sent him a text message to inform him that an article about things to note about the Sundance Film Festival had been sent to Gu Bei's email.

What surprised Gu Bei was that Zhou Qianqian had several missed calls.

I've never seen her so interested in the film festival before?
While Gu Bei was thinking, another phone call came in.

"Hey?"

"The film festival you just mentioned is the Sundance Film Festival, not the Cannes Film Festival?" Liu Yifei asked anxiously.

"No, I don't think I ever mentioned the Cannes Film Festival."

Gu Bei searched his memory. His first goal has always been the Sundance Film Festival. As for the Cannes Film Festival, it should be his Plan B, but he never told anyone about it.

"..."

Liu Yifei fell into silence.

She realized one thing: I changed the future!

In the first task triggered by Gu Bei, "Time Waits for No One", she was told that Gu Bei would win the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film in May next year, and then return to China to invite her to shoot his first feature film, but she refused.

But now Gu Bei doesn’t go to the Cannes Film Festival, so the following events will naturally not happen!
