Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 157 Preparation before Confession
Through Liu Yifei's proud tone,
Gu Bei could even imagine the person on the other end of the phone,
Liu Yifei's slightly raised face must have been filled with an arrogant smile, as if she was waiting for praise.

"That's great!" Gu Bei replied with a smile, "It's a pity I didn't see it live. How about I ask Aunt Liu to work with you again next time?"

In a previous call,
Gu Bei knew that Liu Yifei wanted Liu Xiaoli to play the role of Queen Mother.

It can be said that it took a lot of thought, and the crew also coaxed and deceived Liu Xiaoli to try the makeup, and finally decided on that scene.

"hey-hey!"

Liu Yifei smiled happily.

She was naturally very happy to be able to help Liu Xiaoli capture her stunning face on film.

But after hearing the second half of Gu Bei's words,

After thinking it over, she finally declined: "Let's talk about it when there's a good opportunity. Mom has very high standards for art, and she's even stricter with herself."

Liu Yifei knew Liu Xiaoli's character,

Once you decide to do something, you must do it to a very high level.

When she was a child, she practiced dancing and suffered a lot because of Liu Xiaoli's strict requirements.

After a pause, Liu Yifei asked happily, "What about you? What about you? How's your filming going lately?"

"The progress is good. Joseph and Zoe are working well together. We should be done filming in another month and a half."

Gu Bei still chose the two new generation actors from the original film.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel,

The former is the predecessor of Robin in The Dark Knight Rises, and the former is Snowden in the Snowden biography movie.
The latter has its own series, Jessie Arrives.

There was not much development for the two people afterwards, but their performance in the original film still left a deep impression on Gu Bei.

“You shoot so fast!”

Liu Yifei sighed.

Obviously, the filming of The Forbidden Kingdom started first.

It was even two months earlier than Gu Bei's movie.

As a result, according to the current progress, Gu Bei's side may have to finish filming first.

"Would you like to take that back and say it again?"

"No!" Liu Yifei also reacted and said something strange into the phone's microphone, "Lululu!"

"After all, we're shooting a modern drama in Los Angeles, the most familiar city to everyone. The total shooting schedule is only six to seven weeks."

"I want to shoot a modern drama next time!" Liu Yifei said enviously, "The Forbidden Kingdom may be delayed until the end of August or early September.
My mother has already abandoned me, I don’t know where she went, wuwuwu~"

The two chatted for a while.

Liu Yifei's night scene was about to begin filming, so they could only hang up the phone reluctantly.

After hanging up,

Liu Yifei looked at her phone and was stunned for a while.

After a while, she picked up the small pillow next to her with some hatred, and started hitting it hard as if it was Gu Bei's face.

"Keep you silent!"

"So you don't remember!"

"You're not really going to let me stay alone on the set on my twentieth birthday, are you?"

After beating for a while, Liu Yifei murmured to the little pillow.

According to the original plan, the filming of The Forbidden Kingdom was to be completed before her 20th birthday.

But according to the current progress,
She's probably going to celebrate her birthday on the set.

But now Liu Xiaoli said she was going out, and no one knew where she went.

Gu Bei seemed to have forgotten her birthday. Liu Yifei puffed her face in anger and hugged the small pillow again, as if the thing in her arms could give her strength to support herself.

And at this moment,
The sun is still shining brightly in Los Angeles.

Gu Bei walked into the cafe from under the palm tree, took off his sunglasses and sat down.

"Sissi's call?"

Liu Xiaoli took a sip of coffee and looked at Gu Bei with a smile.

"How did Aunt Liu guess that?"

Gu Bei was a little curious, he had already walked out of the cafe.

"I can see you from this side."

Liu Xiaoli pointed to the window.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe just reveal the palm tree where Gu Bei had just been enjoying the cool air.

After a pause, Liu Xiaoli showed a nostalgic smile on her face: "That smile on your face... Anyone who has been in a relationship knows what it means."

"Xixi said that she wants to make a modern drama for her next film, so it won't take as long as The Forbidden Kingdom!" Gu Bei said with a smile.

"Just thinking about being lazy!"

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but smile and shook her head when she thought of Liu Yifei's lazy personality.

Compared with her efforts to strive for the highest level, Liu Yifei's independent character of being self-consistent and not pursuing external evaluation seems too lazy in her eyes.

"Actually, Sissi already has three movies coming out next year: Whiplash after the Oscars, The Forbidden Kingdom in the first half of the year, and Mei Lanfang in the second half of the year." Gu Bei defended Liu Yifei.

I don’t know without taking inventory.
A quick review reveals that next year will be the starting year for Liu Yifei's film career.
There's the Palme d'Or-winning Whiplash, the Hollywood A-level production The Forbidden Kingdom, and films by fellow Palme d'Or director Chen Kaige.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Gu Bei opposite her.
His expression was slightly complicated.

Last year, I was still worried about Liu Yifei's career development.

This year, I found that one project after another was better than the other.

And they are all vaguely related to the smiling young man in front of him.

After a pause, Liu Xiaoli put down her coffee cup and asked, "Gu Bei, is there something you want me to come to Los Angeles for?"

"Aunt Liu,

I must first thank you for your hard work in training me over the years.

Only then could we cultivate a girl as good as Sissi."

Gu Bei also put down his coffee cup and looked at Liu Xiaoli opposite him seriously, "Secondly, there is one thing I need to ask for your consent.
That’s when I want to confess my love to Sissi!”

What surprised Gu Bei was that
When Liu Xiaoli heard his words, there was no surprise on her face, as if she had an expression that I had known for a long time.

Is it so easy to guess what I'm thinking?

Gu Bei was a little confused.

"Actually, Xixi told me about your agreement," Liu Xiaoli explained. "I'm just curious, why would you discuss this with me and ask for my opinion?"

Gu Bei was a little embarrassed.

Liu Yifei, why do you tell everything to others?

After a pause, he said to Liu Xiaoli seriously: "Because Xixi is your precious daughter, I don't want Aunt Liu to think that I took her away from you."

Liu Yifei told Gu Bei some stories about the two of them.
That's why Gu Bei felt it necessary to ask Liu Xiaoli's opinion before confessing his feelings.

After all, they have been dependent on each other for so many years, and I have only known Liu Yifei for less than a year.

"You have a heart!"

Liu Xiaoli felt warm inside when she heard this.
