Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 40: Famous at Sundance

"We did it!"

Antonio walked out of the theater, finally unable to contain his excitement.

He turned around and wanted to hug Gu Bei, "Bruce, we really did it!"

Gu Bei dodged and said with a smile: "I know you are excited, but until you stop drinking, don't get so close to me."

White people's body odor is already strong, not to mention Antonio's life of drunkenness and debauchery.

"Hahaha, you reminded me. I'm going to the bar now. I heard they have great vodka there!"

Antonio looked at Gu Bei and said with some regret, "What a pity, Bruce, you still have to wait a year before you can enjoy the best drink in the world."

"It's better not to use it."

Gu Bei shook his head to refuse.

Alcohol is not a good thing.

Over the next ten days, the second set of short films was screened four more times.
Almost completed all the screenings of this Sundance Film Festival.

Why do you say almost?
Because if you win the award, there will be a screening of the winning short film at 6 pm on the second day of the award ceremony.

Don't underestimate the fact that there are only five screenings. The film festival treats all films equally in this regard.

Whether feature or short, all films will be screened only five times, giving them the same exposure opportunities.

Gu Bei unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to have some 'fans'.

When walking in this scenic ski town, people will call themselves "tune-makers" across the street.
Or if you are bolder, you can come up and ask for a photo.

Signature... I don't have that, so I still have to put quotation marks around the word "fans".

Even when passing by the Eccles Center Theater, you can see a roll-up banner standing at the door with a poster of Gu Bei wearing blind glasses and holding a blind stick to find his way.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to stop and see how full the seats were.

Gu Bei continued driving, drove out of Park City, and arrived at Salt Lake City International Airport.

"It's so cold!"

As soon as the car door was opened, the cold air rushed in.

Liu Yifei quickly got into the car, closed the door, threw her bag into the back seat, and placed her two red, frozen hands directly on the hair dryer.

"You didn't have to come pick me up."

"It's so cold, and you came here alone, so it's necessary."

Gu Bei shook his head. Not to mention that she was a little girl, even if Antonio came, he would have to make arrangements.

After a pause, he pulled a small box from his pocket and handed it over: "I was going to give it to you when I got back to New York, but since you're here, I'll give it to you now."

When Liu Yifei saw the small box, she knew it was another souvenir.

One is born, the second is cooked.

She took the small box and opened it directly.

Inside is a small sled keychain with a fiery red sun and the words "Sundance Film Festival" on it. It is a peripheral product of the film festival.

"It's quite pretty."

Liu Yifei played with it happily for a while, took the key off the original keychain, and put it directly on.

Gu Bei noticed that her original keychain actually had a Hello Kitty pattern on it. This was the first time he saw her wearing such a girly item!

He drove to Park City.

"How was your test yesterday?"

“The professors at Yale University are quite kind, but it’s a pity that I didn’t meet Professor Wood.”

There was a hint of regret in Liu Yifei's tone. She really wanted to see Margaret Wood again, and she didn't know what the standard was for her to be recognized in the system task.

"Classmate Zhou Qianqian, I must remind you that the idea of ​​taking the back door is not advisable!"

"hehe!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

“She must have applied for recusation.

If you were in her training class, she definitely wouldn't come to interview you. This set of procedures for training classes taught by professors at prestigious universities is very mature, and everyone has a set of agreed-upon rules."

"Tell me quickly, how did our short film perform at the film festival?"

"You can't possibly let me brag. But I've already received a call from the organizing committee."

"A prize?"

Liu Yifei sounded excited, as this was a short film she invested in.

Even though I had expected it, I was still on edge when the award ceremony came.

“It depends on what the prize is!”

While the two were chatting, the car drove into Park City.

Gu Bei first dropped her off at the hotel and went to return the car.

"Let's go! Let's go out and play!"

When he returned the car, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to ask him to get out.

Although she is not the kind of person who likes to run around every day, staying at home is also nice.

But the premise is that you are not confined.

After being grounded, she wanted to go out and play every day.

The main theme is a rebel!
The flow of people in Park City is obviously much smaller today.

Even though there was an award ceremony in the evening, most of the tourists had already left.

Gu Bei didn't take her to the movies. This afternoon was the second to last day of the film festival. He had already seen all the movies that interested him, so it didn't matter if there were any that even he was not interested in.

The two came to a cafe where there was a music afternoon tea event.

"Anne Stella, have you heard her songs?" Liu Yifei flipped through the booklet distributed during the event.

"He should be a light rock singer."

Gu Bei looked at the equipment on the stage. He now had some understanding of musical equipment.

At this moment, a staff member came over, leaned over and asked softly, "Excuse me, can you accept additional people?"

The coffee table they sat at was not very big. It was designed to seat three people, two of them occupied two, leaving one empty seat.

But judging from the staff's slightly embarrassed tone, it's probably not just one person.

Just when Gu Bei was about to refuse.

"Hi! I know you, you're the tuner."

A carefree Texas accent sounded behind Gu Bei.

Gu Bei turned his head.

He recognized the man.

Catherine Hardwicke, the director of "Twilight"!

How did she get here?
Gu Bei stood up with doubt in his eyes and held out his hand: "I'm glad you saw my short film, Ms. Hardwick."

Catherine was stunned and shook hands with him: "Do you know me?"

“I really enjoyed Lords of Dogtown.”

Gu Bei was talking about Catherine's movie released in 2005. Although it was classified as a biographical film, it was essentially a youth sports film.

"This is Mr. Figo from Summit Entertainment. Can we sit down?" Catherine introduced the middle-aged man next to her.

"Eric Figo." Eric introduced himself.

"Row!"

Gu Bei glanced at him, asked the two of them to sit down, and added another chair.

Meeting the two at the Sundance Film Festival made Gu Bei feel very uneasy.

These two people, one is the CEO of the production company of "Twilight" and the other is the director of "Twilight", it is hard not to think about the purpose of their meeting this time.
