Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 114: Set a small goal first
The reporters of the Sixth Princess were very excited.

If he had the right to interview but only the right to film, he might really want to start the interview on the spot.

The daylight hours in Cannes are very long in May. The red carpet has reached the middle and late stages, and the sky is still clear.

"It's Gong Li!" Liu Yifei saw Gong Li on the red carpet, all flashed by spotlights, and felt a little envious. "That emerald-colored dress makes her look so elegant!"

"She must be a frequent visitor to Cannes."

Gu Bei took a glance and thought that he was indeed Emperor Gong.

While the two were chatting,
French media came to the Whiplash crew with cameras,
The female host approached Gu Bei directly and spoke in French:
"Director Bruce, as the youngest director of the main competition unit in the history of Cannes, do you think you can gain something from this Cannes?"

Before the translator could speak,
Gu Bei answered in French:

"Age is not the key factor; the quality of the film is the only criterion for Cannes.
I'm definitely hoping to impress the jury with Whiplash.
But regardless, it was a wonderful experience!"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened slightly. When did Gu Bei learn French?
The photographer turned the camera and captured Liu Yifei's little expression, showing it to people around the world watching the Cannes opening ceremony red carpet ceremony.

"After waiting for over an hour, the Fairy Sister finally showed up!"

"Hanhan's makeup today is so classic, it makes me feel like I've been transported back to my Little Dragon Girl days!"

"She looks much thinner than Xiaolongnu!"

"The person next to her should be the director, right? Does anyone who knows French know what the host and the director said? Why is Sissi so surprised?"

"No, it's me next to her!"

"It should be me!"

"It's me! It's me!"

When Liu Yifei and Gu Bei appeared in the live broadcast,
Liu Yifei's forum suddenly became lively.
Since the end of last year's song promotion, Liu Yifei has been out of the public eye for half a year.

Finally, Liu Yifei came back to work, but they were so frustrated.

In Cannes,

After Gu Bei finished the interview, they were finally able to walk on the red carpet.

But compared to superstars like Gong Li, who can walk the red carpet alone,

The Whiplash crew could only go on stage together as a whole, lined up in a row and accept the baptism of the media spotlight.

"Hey, Bruce, can I have a few for the two of you?"

The arrangements made by the Cannes organizers are their own ideas.

Gu Bei's identity as a 20-year-old director is still quite attractive, so the media naturally hopes to film more of him.

Since Gu Bei has been photographed, Liu Yifei, who is holding Gu Bei's arm, must not be missing.

After a few minutes of being in the spotlight,

Cannes staff guided Gu Bei and others up the steps of the Film Palace.

Gu Bei looked back at the red carpet.

Liu Yifei noticed his movements and asked, "What's wrong?"

“It’s just some emotion.”

Gu Bei turned around and continued walking forward, "During Sundance, I wasn't even eligible to attend the opening ceremony.
Now we have walked the red carpet in Cannes,

Is the next step to step onto the podium at Cannes?"

"I think you can do it!"

Liu Yifei expressed her support, her tone as firm as ever.

Gu Bei smiled slightly: "Are you so confident? I'm not even completely sure myself."

"Hehe~ I'm so confident!"

Liu Yifei said confidently.

She has seen Gu Bei's achievements. If he fails at Cannes this time, there will be next time, and the next time!
The two entered the Film Palace and attended the opening ceremony.

In just a few minutes on the Cannes red carpet,

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei originally thought it was just a red carpet event.
But it was clear that they all underestimated the influence of the Cannes red carpet.

The most obvious thing was that when Gu Bei and Liu Yifei were strolling in the town of Cannes, some people had already started to recognize them and come up to talk to them.

This time, Cannes and Sundance are a little different.

At Sundance, The Sound Mixer had already been screened and only then did it attract the attention of moviegoers after it became a huge hit.

But this time at Cannes, Whiplash hasn’t even started screening yet!
It's just a chance to appear on the red carpet.
It can bring this kind of attention,

No wonder some people come to the red carpet specifically.

Cannes creates such a huge buzz every year, who wouldn’t want to have a taste of it?

The day before Whiplash,
Liu Yifei went to attend the trailer show of The Forbidden Kingdom at the film market,

Gu Bei was interviewed by Six Princesses reporter Zhao Guanxiang.

"Actually, the station didn't plan to send anyone here this time, but a leader from the China Film Group suddenly decided to come to Cannes, so the station suddenly assigned me to come here."

Zhao Guanxiang complained to Gu Bei while setting up the camera.

After he set up the camera, he looked at Gu Bei's room with some envy: "The Martinez Hotel is one of the five most luxurious hotels in Cannes, and the rooms are really nice. The room the station booked for me can't even accommodate a camera.

Shall we start now?"

"can."

Gu Bei smiled faintly.

"Director Gu Bei, as far as we know, you have never received any training in the film industry. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making a movie?" Zhao Guanxiang sat next to the camera and began to ask questions.

"Express your desire,
When you've seen enough movies, you can't help but wonder,

I was wondering what it would be like if I were to shoot it, so I scraped together some money and shot my first short film, Sound Mixer. "

Zhao Guanxiang asked a few more questions.

All about Gu Bei's early filming experience,
Gu Bei's answers were all as standard as the first question.
In fact, his experience along the way has been full of ups and downs. Even a standard answer has caused Zhao Guanxiang to sigh repeatedly.

"Director Gu Bei, you have already gained recognition in Hollywood. Will you consider making Chinese-language films in the future?" Zhao Guanxiang took a look at the script, frowned, and asked this question.

"Of course!"

Gu Bei's answer was beyond Zhao Guanxiang's expectations.

Gu Bei continued, "Making movies is about expressing one's desire. I grew up in China, and I have many stories from China in my mind.

If I hadn’t studied abroad, my first short film and first feature film might have been Chinese-language films.”

Zhao Guanxiang asked unconsciously, "Don't you think the domestic film market is too small?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Bei was a little surprised by Zhao Guanxiang's behavior.

Logically speaking, when asking the first question, one must hope to get a positive answer.

But after hearing Gu Bei's answer, Zhao Guanxiang couldn't help but want to refute.

Could it be that this question was not what Zhao Guanxiang wanted to ask, but was asked by the Sixth Princess' leader?
Anyway, no matter what,

Gu Bei must respond from the domestic perspective. This is a question of stance.

“I don’t think the domestic film market is small.
China has a population of 1.4 billion, so the potential of the film market is enormous!"

Gu Bei didn't wait for Zhao Guanxiang to continue asking questions and said directly, "I think the box office record target for Chinese-language films should be 100...

Forget it, let’s set a small goal first, one billion!”
