Chapter 35: Ideas
The harmonious wrap party brought everyone closer together.
Although they had gotten to know Gu Qing's temperament after spending the past two weeks together, the other party still kept his distance from them.
To be able to say these words in front of so many people means that he truly considers them his friends.
Several grown men were already arm in arm, talking about their life ideals.
Although Lu Zheng is usually serious and upright, he is also very generous at the dinner table.
Gu Qing was also stunned as she watched the other party playing drinking games with Ning Hao.
"Uncle Lu is a retired soldier, and he has a very good alcohol tolerance."
Perhaps sensing Gu Qing's confusion, Jing Tian turned to the side and explained softly.
"Not bad, you've made some progress in the past two weeks on set."
Gu Qing was slightly surprised. If it were Jing Tian from last year, she would never have had such awareness and would have even tried to explain the reason to him.
"Brother Qing, I'm an adult now, okay? Stop treating me like a child."
"Do you feel like your IQ isn't high enough when you're around your two older sisters?"
"Nonsense! I am extremely intelligent, how could I lack intelligence?"
Jing Tian stared wide-eyed, also very angry about what Gu Qing had just said.
"Haha, don't say 'extremely intelligent' next time, or it might actually come true."
Seeing the other person's expression, Gu Qing immediately understood that he was right, and smiled as he patted the other person's head.
"What the hell? You're the one who's the best!"
Jing Tian hadn't understood what the other person meant at first, but seeing their mischievous smile and actions, how could she not understand?
He immediately punched Gu Qing in the thigh.
"Ouch, why are you so violent?"
Gu Qing gasped and grabbed the other person's hand.
Why is this person getting so angry?
"Hmph, you deserve to be beaten to death for daring to curse a beautiful young girl to go bald."
Jing Tian snorted softly, a smile on her face. Although her hand was being held by the other party, she turned her fist into a palm and pinched the other party's soft flesh.
Seeing that the other party was being childish, Gu Qing just played along. Otherwise, how could he openly pinch the other party's little hand?
Fan Binbin, who had been silently watching Gu Qing's situation, was extremely frustrated at this moment, chewing his food with resentment in his eyes.
These two are completely disregarding others now; is this the kind of brotherly affection they have?
"Binbin, I think you'd better give up on your idea of hitting on Director Gu."
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
"Hehe, Director Gu is still young and very talented, and he and Tian Tian are a perfect match."
"I'm only in my early twenties, okay?"
Fan Binbin said through gritted teeth, "If you can't speak, you don't have to."
Good men are a scarce resource; how can one give up without even trying?
"There's no need to dwell on romantic relationships. Isn't it better to be friends? Plus, you can gain two friends that way."
Zeng Li took a sip of wine and said it without any concern.
If she were younger, she might have had the same thoughts, but now...
When Zeng Li guessed his thoughts, Fan Binbin's face turned ugly. Although he said that, one can have many friends, but only one partner.
Although somewhat unwilling, the two could only remain friends.
Gu Qing ignored Xiao Fan's wild thoughts. At this moment, his close contact with Jing Tian made him a little distracted.
Jing Tian wrapped one of Gu Qing's arms around her, glared fiercely at the ungrateful man in front of her, and straddled Gu Qing's thighs with her feet.
It was already late May, and the two were dressed rather lightly. Jing Tian's slightly rapid breathing hit Gu Qing's arm without any concealment, and he could even feel a strange sensation.
"Brother, let go quickly. It's not good to do this in public."
"You, you!"
Reminded by Gu Qing, Jing Tian's face turned bright red instantly, and she immediately shook off the other person.
Oops, what's wrong with me? Why am I behaving so rudely?
Jing Tian fanned herself with her hands, trying to cool down, but she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig three feet into the ground.
It's all Gu Qing's fault, why did he have to tease her for no reason?
"Sweetie, go back and study acting hard. Your time on set is over, but your acting career has just begun."
"If you trust me, don't start looking for scripts and roles on your own."
Gu Qing took a sip of tea to calm herself down, and then spoke seriously.
"Okay, I know, stop nagging."
"By the way, I'm going to North America next month. Do you want to come with me?"
After some physical cooling, Jing Tian regained her composure, immediately crossed her arms over her chest, and asked expectantly.
"After the movie ends, I need to review the editing and also work on the film's release and promotion."
"Of course, if I have the time, I can go and take a look."
As the director, Gu Qing naturally had to firmly grasp the editing rights of the film, but seeing Jing Tian's slightly disappointed look, he didn't say anything too definitive.
Jing Tian hasn't enrolled in school yet and doesn't have many friends in the industry. Now that she's finally built up a relationship, she's about to have to part ways, which naturally makes her very unhappy.
"Then it's a deal. I'll take it seriously."
"I'll take you to Hollywood and Universal Studios then."
Jing Tian smiled happily, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth.
A girl's emotions come and go quickly.
Gu Qing didn't say much, but just patted the other person's head again.
"Hey, stop touching my head!"
"You silly thing, you couldn't help yourself."
……
After the wrap party, everyone went home the next day.
After waving goodbye to Huang Xiaoming and the others, Gu Qing returned to China Film Group with Chen Ze.
Ning Hao and Xing Aina were going to stay in Sanya for a few more days, as a way to give themselves a vacation.
However, in Gu Qing's view, this kind of fake leave happens every month.
He's still young, at the prime of his life, how can he easily take a break?
Once filming is complete, editing naturally needs to be done as quickly as possible.
China Film Group naturally has an editing room, and they found a professional editor, so Gu Qing stayed there.
"Ah Qing, do you have confidence in this film?"
"Uncle Chen, that's a question you asked. As a director, I naturally have confidence. I can't just say something discouraging."
In the editing room, Gu Qing leaned back in her chair, took the cigarette Chen Ze handed her, and said casually.
He was relieved, but Chen Ze was filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
While the quality of a film depends on the script and the director, the producer still bears a significant responsibility.
Within China Film Group, achievements are naturally required, and Gu Qing's film, as his first achievement after returning to China, is undoubtedly of great importance.
"Relax, Uncle Chen, don't you know my strength?"
"We'll find out soon enough."
Gu Qing lit a fire for the other person and said with a chuckle.
With memories of his past life at his fingertips, and having already conceived the film in his mind during filming, it could be said that the finished film had already been played out in his mind. Therefore, he had done his best for this film.
He was thinking about whether he should take a trip abroad next month.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going on a trip with my buddies, but rather trying to earn some extra money.
This film has drained all his savings. Even if it's released, the profits won't come in so quickly. Having tasted the joy of having money, how can he endure poverty?
Not to mention, he also wants to collaborate with Huang Xiaoming; he can't rely on just his words alone.
