Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 72 Ask you about Liu Yifei
God has mercy on me,
She was just a little girl of nineteen,

If she grew up in the country, she would still be studying in college at this age.

The only dish she was good at was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but it was not appropriate to serve it now.

I wonder if I have already mastered the cooking skills at the age of 38?

Probably not.

After all, I am so busy now.

Thirty-eight is the best age to play a mature working woman.
I will definitely be much busier than I am now.
Like the current singing competitions, there will definitely be two or three plays a year.

Since you don’t know how, you can only ask someone else for help.

"Hey."

Liu Yifei plugged in headphones to her phone.

While secretly watching Liu Xiaoli and grandma in the living room,

While sneaking up to the microphone and speaking softly.

"I'm here."

Gu Bei looked at the dark night outside, but there were also many twinkling lights. A big city like Manhattan is never short of people working hard.

"Isn't it a bit too early?"

Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed, and Gu Bei's voice was lower than before.

"I'll take a break today. I can go back and catch up on some sleep later."

Gu Bei said calmly, "The crew has been working for too long, exceeding the number stipulated by the union. Qiao suggested that I take a day off."

Independent films don't need to abide by union regulations.

But most of the crew members are union members, and they are used to the work pace set by the union.
If we continue to work overtime, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.

It just so happened that the filming plan was much faster than they expected.

At the suggestion of producer Joe, he simply gave the crew a day off.

After a pause, he asked, "What do you want to do for grandma?"

“That’s my grandmother.”

Liu Yifei muttered softly.

"what?"

"Nothing, I wanted to make that soup you made for Christmas."

Liu Yifei no longer worried about the address and put forward her own request.

Her idea was simple: it was easier to make soup than mess it up, and it was also more suitable for winter.

"Beef brisket with radish in clear soup, this is indeed relatively simple." Gu Bei thought for a moment, "Have you prepared everything?"

"Uh-huh!"

"First, cut the beef brisket into pieces, about 2cm x 2cm x 2cm. Fill the pot with cold water and skim off the foam."

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, take it one step at a time!"

As a complete novice, Liu Yifei was sweating profusely while cutting meat.

But she didn't feel tired at all, instead she found it very fun.

Gu Bei felt something was wrong when he heard the panting voice in the receiver.

"Okay, I've skimmed off the foam and fished out the brisket."

Liu Yifei asked about the next step with great enthusiasm.

"Fill the pot with cold water, put the beef brisket back in, and add a whole carrot and a halved onion." Gu Bei instructed her, "As for the spices, just look for bay leaves, star anise, and cumin."

After some trouble, Liu Yifei finally found all the ingredients and put them in.

She looked at the pot simmering on low heat and asked, "How's the filming progress over there?"

“Andrew performed much better than I expected.

At the current pace, it might not even take three weeks to finish filming all the scenes.”

Gu Bei spoke of Andrew's performance with a hint of surprise in his tone. Andrew has a kind of broken temperament, which forms a natural contradiction with the male protagonist's crazy and devilish personality, which makes the plot even more tense.

According to the current shooting status,
Gu Bei is becoming more and more confident about Cannes.

After a pause, he remembered something: "You mentioned before that you returned to Jiangcheng for the New Year?"

Liu Yifei poked the beef brisket in the pot with chopsticks and nodded: "Yes."

"I want to ask you about Liu Yifei, your cousin, has she also returned to Jiangcheng?"

Gu Bei also had this idea suddenly.

After Cannes, he will return to China and plan to set up an office there.

In the future, we will also slowly develop in the country.

"Ok?"

Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about her?"

"I'm a fan of your cousin."

Gu Bei thought,

I can't tell you that his classmate from Penguin Pictures mentioned that your cousin will be banned next year, so it would be cheaper to hire her then, right?
"Lie." Liu Yifei chuckled in her heart. A fan who doesn't even know what I look like?
"Why do you say that?"

Gu Bei was a little surprised.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that the little girl is obviously smarter when she is in China than when she is in New York.

"If you can answer just one question, I'll believe you!" Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose. "How many episodes are there in The Return of the Condor Heroes?"

Gu Bei: “…”

He never watches costume dramas, so how would he know how many episodes there are in The Return of the Condor Heroes?

Liu Yifei said in a slightly flustered tone, "Don't check the computer!"

"Okay... Classmate Zhou Qianqian has a brilliant plan!"

Gu Bei didn't need to check the computer, he could find out by just checking the entertainment treasure house, but it would be meaningless to cheat just to tease a little girl.

After a pause, he explained: "I'm considering returning to China to make a movie, so I wanted to ask how much a star of your cousin's level would be paid."

Liu Yifei thought about it,

She actually doesn't know what her current salary offer is.

After all, it has been several years since she last took part in a movie.

"I'll ask for you next time."

Liu Yifei couldn't give a definite answer.

Then, she changed the subject: "Do you male directors pay more attention to female stars?"

The tone was very flat.

Gu Bei, however, became very alert:
"If you knew any male celebrities, I would ask you about their salaries."

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on her lips.

For some reason, when Gu Bei mentioned Liu Yifei, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Fortunately, Gu Bei’s answer was pretty good.

The annoying ghost is finally not annoying for once!
"It's almost half an hour. Process the white radish, cut it with a rolling knife, and blanch it in another pot. You can add two pieces of rock sugar to remove the smell, and then put it back into the pot." Gu Bei instructed her.

This time he was really sure.
She did become a little more sensitive after returning home.

Liu Yifei became flustered again and finally put the blanched radish into the pot.

After a while, she thought of something:
"Oh, there's another piece of good news I forgot to tell you.

Just yesterday, Yale University finally sent me an email informing me that I had passed the second audition for the Yale School of Drama.

The next step is to go to the Yale School of Drama for the third audition. Out of over a thousand applicants, only thirty people will have the opportunity to participate in this third audition!"
