Chinese entertainment director starts with filmmaking

Chapter 96

Gu Qing didn't stay long on the set of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series before leaving with Jing Tian.

His time is precious, and he doesn't have time to waste on small talk.

Jing Tian had already mentioned this to Cai Yinong before, and the latter naturally approved the leave without hesitation.

She was only playing the fifth female lead, with very few scenes, so taking leave was quite easy.

During this time, Gu Qing also exchanged pleasantries with Director Li Guoli.

If you dig well with your hoe, there's no corner you can't knock down.

Tangren's production team is still very capable. If it weren't for their own problems, they could have been successful for several more years.

The action choreographer, makeup artist, composer, and cinematographer all left or dispersed. Even Li Guoli lost his will to work in logistics and retired.

Of course, it's impossible to poach the other party's production team in one go. All Gu Qing can do now is to build a good friendship and, incidentally, brag about himself.

"Director Li, what did Gu Qing just say to you?"

Lin Yufen watched Gu Qing leave, then hurriedly went to Li Guoli to ask him questions.

"He didn't say anything, Gu Qing also wants to film a TV series and wants to learn from me."

Li Guoli smiled, a smug look on his face.

A rising star in the directing world seeking his advice—that's something he can certainly brag about.

"Gu Qing is going to film a TV series too?"

"Doesn't he still have a movie in post-production special effects?"

Lin Yufen was taken aback upon hearing this and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hey, he's a young director, full of energy. He just finished a movie and now he wants to make a TV series."

"Besides, the director doesn't need to do the special effects in the movie's post-production."

Li Guoli shook his head, saying it indifferently.

Despite saying that, Li Guoli was also puzzled. The two had not known each other for long, and he didn't know what Gu Qing was up to.

Since they've come to him, they must need something from him. He just needs to remain calm and composed.

Lin Yufen seemed to be deep in thought and didn't say anything more.

When Gu Qing came to Jing Tian's side again, she found that Yang Mi was still standing next to Jing Tian, ​​showing no intention of leaving.

"Brother, Sister Mi said she wants to come with us; she's going back to school too."

When Jing Tian saw Gu Qing, her face lit up with joy, and she waved to him from a distance.

Gu Qing smiled, then quickly walked up to Jing Tian and ruffled the little girl's hair.

"Hey, don't move around, you're messing up my hairstyle."

"Tch, you don't have any style at all. I'll give you a stunning makeover later."

"You don't have any styling skills, you just tied your hair into a ponytail randomly."

Gu Qing hadn't seen Jing Tian for a long time, and her mood improved considerably upon seeing her again.

Yang Mi, who saw Gu Qing and Jing Tian flirting on the other side, revealed a hint of envy in her eyes.

The entertainment industry is where relationships are most likely to develop, but they usually only last for a short time.

But these two don't seem to be just playing around.

"I said, there are other people here, please be mindful of the impact."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at the two of them and said helplessly.

"Huh, why is there someone here?"

"Yang Mi, why are you still here?"

Gu Qing hadn't really noticed the other person, so seeing that the other person was still there now was a bit strange.

"Brother, Sister Mi said she's coming back to Beijing with us, so we'll have company on the way."

Jing Tian tugged at Gu Qing's arm and covered her mouth with a soft laugh.

"I'm also a student at the Beijing Film Academy, okay? Now that school has started, I need to tell my teacher too."

Yang Mi explained that she just wanted to stay by their side, not only to get closer to them, but also to see what Gu Qing was planning to do next.

As for school? It doesn't matter whether you go or not.

"Whatever you want."

Gu Qing didn't think much of it; after all, it's someone else's body, and he couldn't control that, could he?

Since it was just a simple matter of asking for leave from school, the two of them often traveled light.

But Yang Mi is now somewhat famous, so Gu Qing and Jing Tian waited for her for a little while.

On the plane, Gu Qing was somewhat unhappy.

"Yang Mi, why do I keep getting the feeling that you're deliberately waiting for me?"

"School's been in session for ages, and you're only now thinking about going back?"

"And if I remember correctly, you're already a senior, right? This is your fourth year of free time, why would you need to ask for leave?"

Having waited for the other party for half a day in Hengdian, Gu Qing's tone became somewhat impolite.

Jing Tian didn't say much, leaning on Gu Qing's shoulder and looking straight at him.

"I'm graduating soon, and the next time I go back to school will be for the graduation ceremony. I want to see more of the Beijing Film Academy campus."

"Director Gu, I'm quite familiar with the leaders at school. Now that I've graduated, I can help take care of Jing Tian."

Yang Mi said with a forced smile, knowing that she had been impolite, but at her level, her schedule was packed, and it was impossible to just leave whenever she wanted.

She already had to film the "Chinese Paladin" series, and taking leave has disrupted all her plans. Right now, she's still wondering if it was worth it.

Only Cai Yinong, being so thoughtful, gave her a lot of face.

"Hehe, thanks for your concern, Sister Mi. Brother Qing said he'll be going back to school next year, then he can keep me company."

Jing Tian thought the other person was genuinely worried about her, so she spoke her mind.

"Is Gu Qing going back to school?"

"Didn't he already graduate? Is he going to pursue a master's degree in directing?"

Yang Mi is no novice; after a little thought, she knew exactly what was going on.

They looked at Gu Qing in shock, clearly not expecting him to have such intentions.

Yes, Gu Qing is still so young, she could totally pursue a master's degree in directing, and then she really wouldn't lack anything.

"Sweetie, you're speaking too soon. We don't even know if the directing department will be accepting students this year."

"And getting into graduate school isn't easy either."

Gu Qing shook his head, not hiding anything. In fact, he was still unsure about this matter; it depended on whether he had a plan and whether his mentor was interested.

However, he mentioned it to Xia Gang back in April, saying that there shouldn't be any problem with him pursuing a master's degree.

Yang Mi is truly envious. Gu Qing and Jing Tian are such a good couple; they even accompany each other to school.

They're filming together outside, and they're even on the same campus inside. Sigh, when will she find such a considerate boyfriend?

Forget it, what's a boyfriend anyway? I'd rather focus on my career; I want to be a successful career woman!

"Director Gu, what are your plans for the second half of the year?"

"Plan? Isn't going to school a plan? I still need to prepare and see if I can pass the exam."

"Haha, Director Gu, you're too kind. If you were to apply, the school would probably be more than happy to let you pass."

Inside the airplane cabin, Yang Mi subtly inquired about Gu Qing's plans.

In the acting profession, one still has to become a movie star in the end. Although she is quite famous now, she is really weak in the film industry.

If Liu Yifei can land leading roles and work with Jackie Chan and Tony Leung, then her company is unreliable. She needs to think more about herself.

Gu Qing didn't want to say much. After chatting with Yang Mi for a while, she didn't neglect Jing Tian and told her about her recent schedule.

I also went to Taiwan to see Ning Hao and talked about some interesting things from "Crazy Racer".
