Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 53 Meet again
"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rings.

Eunice immediately stood up and walked to the hallway to open the door.

Stephanie turned around, one hand resting on the edge of her chair.

She planned to greet Gu Bei as soon as possible, after all, she had stood Gu Bei up yesterday.

Catherine also looked up curiously.
She wanted to see what kind of person Bruce, whom Eric had been talking about for so long, was.

The only one who was most concerned about who Bruce was was Eric.

At this moment, he was half leaning on the chair, looking relaxed and comfortable.

But if someone looked at him carefully,

You will notice that his eyes are also secretly glancing towards the hallway.

"Hi, Bruce, Crystal, you're finally back!"

Eunice warmly welcomed the visitors in the hallway.

"Eunice, does Ms. Mel have any snacks?"

"She wants to feed the black swan at the resort. Bread, biscuits, and the like will do."

The voices of a man and a woman came from the hallway.

Why does it feel familiar?

Catherine heard the two men's voices.

She frowned slightly, and the more she listened, the more familiar it felt.

Stephanie on the sofa warned, "Crystal, you have to be careful. The black swan can attack people. My son was attacked by it two years ago."

"Okay, I'll be careful, Ms. Mel!"

Eunice took Liu Yifei straight to the kitchen.

"She was just chased yesterday, and now she's not afraid anymore."

Gu Bei took off his coat.

He walked out of the hallway, chatting with Stephanie.

Then, he turned around and saw Eric and Catherine in the guest seats. He smiled slightly:
"Hello again, Ms. Hardwick, and... Mr. Figo!"

"Hello...Mr. Tuner!"

The moment Catherine saw Gu Bei, she couldn't help but glance at Eric as she stood up to shake his hand.

Just a few days ago at the Sundance Film Festival,

They also sat at the same table with Gu Bei and attended the concert together.

After the concert, Eric also commented on Gu Bei, saying that Gu Bei's Asian face did not allow him to develop as an actor, and that he needed more experience to develop as a director.

As a result, the Bruce that Eric had been investigating for so long turned out to be the young man in front of him?
It’s a bit fun!
"Hello, Bruce...?" Eric then stood up.

“Gu!”

Gu Bei stretched out his hand and shook hands with Eric.

When our eyes met,

He read surprise, shame, and contempt in the eyes of the president of Summit Entertainment. These multiple emotions mixed together, giving him a feeling of falling in love at first sight.

If it weren't for his many years of professional ethics, Eric would have been unable to control his defense at this moment.

He never thought that the person who came to steal his project would be Gu Bei!
"Do you know each other?"

Stephanie looked surprised.

Gu Bei sat down and saw Stephanie's expression. He explained, "We only met once at the Sundance Film Festival."

"That's more than one side."

Eric broke free from his emotions and felt more urgent at the moment, "We also watched Bruce's movie, which he wrote, directed, and starred in. It was very good.

But... it's a pity it's just a short film.

It probably didn't cost you much.

Ten thousand dollars? Twenty thousand dollars?"

Catherine heard it from the side and took a sip of coffee silently. This was a hint that Stephanie Gu Bei had no money!
Stephanie really listened.

She looked surprised: "This is the first time I know that making a short film only requires such a small amount of funds!"

As a writer who has never been involved in the film and television industry, her inherent impression of movies is that they are at least Hollywood B-level productions with a budget starting at 2000 million US dollars.

She was very surprised that it cost $10,000 or $20,000 to shoot, even if it was just a short film.

Gu Bei did not refute, nor did he tell others about the news that he had won the award.

Saying these things now is actually falling into the trap of self-proof.

"I haven't actually calculated how much it cost. Crystal invested in it, so we don't really care how much it ends up costing."

"It's just a short film, and you still need your girlfriend's investment?"

"Crystal is not my girlfriend, she's my boss!"

This is what Gu Bei was waiting for. "She was very satisfied with the award, so she found another producer. I have already started preparing for my first feature film!"

Eric suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He wanted to let Stephanie know that Gu Bei did not have enough capital to operate "Twilight".

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Gu Bei might not have money, but the girl named Crystal might really be rich. Otherwise, how could she dare to throw millions of dollars to a completely novice director?

How come this guy is so lucky!
The short film was just finished and the feature film was immediately started. This speed is even faster than Spielberg!
Oh no, he doesn’t really have the capital to operate "Twilight"?

"Bruce, congratulations!" Stephanie congratulated.

"Thanks to Crystal!"

Gu Bei leaned back gently.

None of the nine sentences he said were false.

But with just a little combination, Zhou Qianqian was immediately portrayed as a wealthy woman who spent money lavishly.

Anyway, he doesn't need to be really rich, he just needs to make them believe that he is rich!
"Who is the producer?"

Eric wanted to struggle a little more.

"Joe Creek, Mr. Figo, you should know him too, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Eric was a little reluctant to talk. "Joe is indeed a very good producer and is very good at running independent films."

More than just knowing each other, he and Joe had drinks together several times at the Saint-Denis Film Festival.

Part of the overseas distribution of Joe's "Babel" project, which is currently competing for an Oscar, was entrusted to Summit Entertainment.

He had completely believed what Gu Bei said.

This cannot be faked.

Because he only needs one phone call to expose Gu Bei's lies.

Gu Bei was even expecting him to make this call, which could give him more endorsement.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little silent.

Stephanie stepped up to liven up the atmosphere: "Speaking of producers, Karen is actually a very good producer. I had a very pleasant chat with her, but the screenwriter she found made me wonder if she had ever seen Twilight."

"I thought Twilight was just a very simple story. How much more could the screenwriters adapt it to?"

Gu Bei was actually a little curious about to what extent the screenwriter had changed the story.

"Bruce, this is because you are also a writer. Hollywood screenwriters can't understand what we are writing!"

Stephanie suddenly became excited. Her and Gu Bei's identities as writers were also the reasons why they were willing to meet Gu Bei in the first place.

She couldn’t help but complain: “You know what?
Not only did that screenwriter turn Bella into a long-distance runner, but he also had Bella's sheriff father be transformed by a vampire.

Then let Bella start her revenge and hunt vampires with a shotgun!
That's not all, he also had Bella and Edward being chased by the FBI on the river, and performed an extremely boring car chase scene using a motorboat.

He didn't have to call it The Twilight Zone!"

No!

How do these elements fit together?
