Chinese entertainment director starts with filmmaking

Chapter 75

The short film "Chasing Dreams" is currently being filmed. Gu Qing had a meal on set and then left.

It was just a short film, and he wouldn't have come to visit if Jing Tian hadn't been the lead actress.

"Sweetie, I'm leaving now. You stay here and focus on your filming."

"Learn from your seniors well, and I'll come to see you then."

After ruffling Jing Tian's hair and saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Qing left the scene.

Ning Hao is also a veteran in short film production, with a wealth of experience. He has probably filmed countless movies. His excessive inspection of the props and set is a sign of doubt about the other party's professionalism.

Jing Tian stood there, watching Gu Qing's departing figure, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Sweetie, Director Gu has already walked quite a distance. Snap out of it."

Chai Biyun and Kan Qingzi, who were standing nearby, laughed and joked when they saw this scene.

They had sensed something was wrong back when they took the art exams, but unfortunately they had never been able to get confirmation from the two of them.

"Hehe, Biyun, Qingzi, let's go back to the set to get our makeup done."

Jing Tian was taken aback, a blush rising to her ears. Knowing that staying here might lead to more probing questions, she decisively changed the subject.

Chai Biyun and Kan Qingzi didn't investigate further and were pulled along as well, leaving together.

"Brother Hao, my classmate and I are leaving now."

"Okay, let's go first, drive carefully."

Jing Tian waved her hand, said goodbye to Ning Hao, and left the hotel.

The other main actors greeted him, exchanged glances, and then continued drinking and chatting.

Filming starts today, but the actual shooting won't begin until the afternoon; there's still time.

"Brother Hao, Director Gu's momentum is a bit too fast, isn't it?"

Photographer Du Jie offered cigarettes to everyone present, then lit one for himself, before remarking with considerable emotion.

"Hehe, my brother, that's like a roc rising with the wind in a single day!"

Although Ning Hao was also puzzled, he couldn't lose face in front of so many people.

"Brother Hao, Director Gu has started his own company, right? I wonder if he has any plans to sign any artists?"

Huang Bo asked curiously from the side, his eyes firm.

"Huang Bo, are you planning to sign with Director Gu's company?"

"But it seems like 'The Source Code' is only Director Gu's second film."

Guo Tao was taken aback for a moment, feeling quite surprised, but after looking at Huang Bo's face, he wasn't surprised at all.

The entertainment industry has always been all about looks. You either have to be very handsome or have a unique kind of ugliness, otherwise it's hard to be remembered.

Huang Bo's level is only slightly below average. He struggled to get into the Beijing Film Academy because he wasn't good-looking and wasn't very popular in the industry.

This also led him to hone his acting skills day and night.

"Hehe, I haven't signed with a management company yet, and it's not a good business to work independently in this industry."

Huang Bo said with a chuckle, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

It's not that he didn't want to sign; it's that nobody wanted to sign.

"I don't know about that, I'll ask for you later."

Ning Hao wasn't too clear about the matter, but he thought highly of Huang Bo, who was able to focus on acting.

Although he had a good relationship with Gu Qing, he could only say he would try his best and dared not make any guarantees.

"Thank you, Brother Hao. I'll give it my all this time and let Director Gu have a good look at my performance."

"Huang Bo, so you mean you haven't been acting very seriously before?"

"No, this time we have to give it 120%."

The group joked around for a while, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. They had known each other for a long time and had a very good relationship.

……

Meanwhile, after putting aside the short film project, Gu Qing went to China Film Group to begin working on "The Source Code".

The venue was a rented abandoned train station, which was then furnished and renovated.

Gu Qing has the foresight of a newcomer, and with the purchase of many props in Hollywood, the set up now looks quite impressive.

"Gu Qing, the visual sense here really comes from your director. The sense of technology is quite impressive."

Han Sanping looked around at the brand-new facilities and couldn't help but admire them.

This makes it quite similar to Hollywood.

"This is just the beginning; the real challenge is yet to come."

Gu Qing shook his head and chuckled, also expressing his disapproval.

This kind of science fiction movie is all about illusion; it's all about deceiving the audience, so the production quality of the costumes, props, and sets has to be top-notch.

"Your words have put my mind at ease."

Han Sanping couldn't hide his smile; he was also very happy.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved in dragging Gu Qing into making a science fiction movie, but once they actually started, it turned out to be a piece of cake and not difficult at all.

"Chairman Han, let's go over there and take a look, and discuss some details."

Gu Qing cupped his hands in greeting, inviting Han Sanping to the other side.

China Film Group has a professional team from top to bottom. Gu Qing plans to start working on the television project by the end of this year or early next year at the latest, and he also needs to figure out these things.

Web series are also a possibility; "Chasing Dreams" is intended to be released on online media as a trial.

Making movies full-time is too risky. Although he won't miss out, he needs to seize the opportunity presented by the online drama trend.
