Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 62 Boring
This is an agreement that benefits both parties.

That's why Gu Bei said that the two of them were partners.

"So you called me Little Beauty before?"

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Gu Bei admitted frankly: "My fault, we both have red hearts."

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei snorted.

Just then, Gu Bei's cell phone rang.

"Anthony Hopkins, this name sounds so familiar..." Liu Yifei glanced at the caller ID.

"Mr. Hopkins...I'll be right over then."

Gu Bei hung up the phone.

What he didn't expect was that Anthony was in New York and asked him to come over for a detailed discussion.

This was a bit unexpected.

If Anthony were in California, he could write a script that would not make money but had depth in acting to impress Anthony.

Unfortunately, the scripts he has accumulated since his rebirth, even if they are feature films, are very profitable.

In this case, we can only see if we can convince the other party.

"Producer Zhou, I'll take you to meet a Hollywood superstar!"

Gu Bei waved to Liu Yifei, indicating that she should follow him.

Since he was using personal connections, it was naturally inconvenient to bring Qiao along, so Liu Yifei was more suitable.

"Hollywood star...Anthony..."

Liu Yifei gradually reacted.
Her eyes widened, her pupils trembling. "Hannibal! The Silence of the Lambs! I really love Jodie Foster in it!"

There is no need to say much about Jodie Foster's charm. The film perfectly shows the courage and perseverance of women.

Some people even dared to assassinate the president just to attract her attention.

Although she doesn't like men.

"It's a pity Judy isn't here today. I'll satisfy your star-chasing desire next time."

Gu Bei painted a big picture for her.

The two came to Anthony's home in New York, an apartment in downtown Manhattan.

It was Anthony's wife who opened the door for them.

"Bruce, welcome. Anthony and the others have been waiting for you for a while."

they?

Gu Bei was a little confused.

"Quick! Let me see who Anthony is talking about, the person who is as talented as me!"

A high-pitched male voice came from the living room.

Gu Bei heard Anthony's wife next to him explain to him apologetically: "Sorry, Tarantino drank some whiskey and is a little drunk."

Tarantino, this last name is not common.

Gu Bei walked into the living room,

At first glance, you can see the iconic broad and slightly raised forehead and the broad chin.

It must be the genius Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino!
Gu Bei saw that Quentin's face was flushed, and it didn't look like he had just drunk a little whiskey.

He had no interest in talking to a drunkard and looked at Anthony who was sitting across from Quentin.

Anthony's expression became much more normal.

When I saw the two of them, I greeted them warmly:

"Bruce, and this beautiful lady, is she the heroine in your movie?"

"Mr. Hopkins, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Liu Yifei denied it openly and then introduced herself, "You can call me Crystal."

Gu Bei added a little more information: "She is an investor in my film and is currently applying to the Yale School of Drama."

"Drama School..." A flash of nostalgia passed through Anthony's eyes.

Before coming to Hollywood, he was a theater actor and had been performing on stage for more than 20 years.

At this moment, Quentin stood up from a distance, walked over to Gu Bei and sat down.

Gu Bei could smell the strong smell of alcohol on him and leaned back.

He looked at Anthony, who said to him:
"I was just discussing you with Quentin, saying that you are as talented as him, and even your growth path is similar.

We all start from the Sundance Film Festival and then go to the Cannes International Film Festival, but I don’t know if you can win the Palme d’Or like him.”

“It still depends on the jury.”

Gu Bei smiled.

Quentin was just a clerk in a video store.

I started learning acting and came into contact with Hollywood. I used the first money I earned from writing and selling scripts to make short films.
Then we got our first investment and made our mark at Sundance.
Then he went to the Cannes International Film Festival, won the Palme d'Or, and became a famous genius director in Hollywood.

And Gu Bei,
He is also a layman, selling books and shooting short films, participating in Sundance and winning awards, and the next step is to go to the Cannes International Film Festival.

If Quentin knew about Gu Bei's experience, he would probably exclaim, "This kid is just like me!"

But Gu Bei's goal is not to become the next Quentin.

But surpass Quentin!

"cannot!"

Quentin suddenly spoke up.
He bluntly commented to Gu Bei: "Your story is too cliché. Using a sports film to shoot a musical is not innovative, but..."

Quentin stood up and made megaphone shapes with his hands.

He whispered in Gu Bei's ear: "Boring——"

"Quentin!"

Anthony stood up unhappily and pushed Quentin back onto the sofa, "This is my guest!"

After saying that, he turned around and apologized to Gu Bei: "Bruce, I'm very sorry. This is my fault. I shouldn't have let you see the drunk Quentin."

"It's not you who needs to apologize, it's him."

Gu Bei pointed at Quentin on the sofa and said lightly.

Although it was obvious that Quentin drank a lot of whiskey, his words were clear and logical, and he didn't look like he was drunk.

It would be more accurate to say that he was speaking the truth while drunk rather than being drunk.

Quentin's film narrative style is based on non-linear narrative, which creates narrative suspense by disrupting the timeline.

Whiplash's narrative style is based on conflict.

Conflicts between characters and conflicts between characters and their inner selves.

There is no excessive narrative suspense in the movie, and the characters' emotions explode in the end in a straightforward manner.

The two completely different narrative styles naturally look down on each other.

"I'm telling the truth," Quentin retorted without hesitation.

"Whether it's true or not is not for you to judge, but for the jury who have seen the film to decide."

"See you at the Cannes Film Festival!"

Quentin stepped into the trap that Gu Bei had prepared for him without any surprise. "I can tell you with great confidence that my movie is awesome."

Very standard Mandarin.

With Quentin's very distinctive appearance,
It was originally a very funny scene, but unfortunately Gu Bei and Liu Yifei, who understood it, couldn't laugh.

Liu Yifei took a step forward and pulled Gu Bei's sleeve, indicating her support for Gu Bei.

“See you in Cannes!”

Gu Bei also responded with great confidence.

With such an "agreement", at least there will definitely be no shortage of visitors to Whiplash's exhibition hall in Cannes, and Gu Bei can even step on Quentin to get to the top.

After all, this year is not 1994.
It wasn't Pulp Fiction that Quentin brought to Cannes.

It's Death Proof.
