Chapter 7, "Night Shop," is finished.
Crew.
Before we knew it, we had been filming for fourteen days.
This takes longer than any simulation Gu Qingshan has ever performed in the simulation space.
This is normal, though, as simulations are ultimately somewhat idealistic.
Filming in real life is full of uncertainties, such as the actors' acting skills and their state of mind.
In the simulation space, he can set the actors' acting level, but he can't control the actors' state of mind.
After the final shot was confirmed to be OK, Gu Qingshan grabbed a megaphone and announced loudly, "I hereby declare that filming for 'Nightclub' is complete!"
The crew on set immediately shouted, "Filming's wrapped! Filming's wrapped!"
Clearly, the pressure has been quite high lately!
We filmed for fourteen consecutive days, with each day being a high-intensity job, and it was normal to film until 11 or 12 at night.
And now, it's finally over.
Gu Qingshan smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Go back and get some rest this afternoon. Tonight, it's my treat to a good meal."
"Thank you, director!"
"Long live Director Gu!"
"Director Gu, remember to contact us again next time you have a project!"
(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)
"Director Gu, I wish the film great box office success."
The crew members responded with smiles.
Small film crews often don't have wrap parties, as everyone understands this and it's to save money.
The food on the Gu Qingshan film crew was pretty good, and now they're holding a celebration banquet, which makes everyone feel good about them.
Gu Qingshan is not a directing major and has not directed any other works, but his abilities have been evident to all during this period, and everyone admires him greatly.
Holding a bouquet of flowers, she walked towards Jing Tian. "Congratulations on wrapping up filming! How are you feeling now?"
Jing Tian accepted the flowers, gently inhaling their fragrance. "Thank you! This first film has been a strange experience. At first, I was curious, then it was bittersweet, and now that filming is over, I feel a sense of loss. It's over just like that?"
"I have to thank you a lot for helping me during this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid many people would have laughed at me behind my back." Jing Tian had a bright smile on his face. "Thank you for giving me such a magical experience with my first movie."
Gu Qingshan smiled, "We are friends."
"Yes, yes, we're friends, good friends!" Jing Tian said happily.
The film crew is taking a group photo.
Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian also took a photo together. Jing Tian held Gu Qingshan's hand and smiled.
An hour later, Gu Qingshan told everyone to pack up their things, return the rented equipment, and clean up the scene.
Then all related expenses are settled.
......
At night.
The staff and actors who had not yet left the crew had dinner together at a hotel in Huairou.
Gu Qingshan was dressed casually, while Jing Tian wore a striking white V-neck dress.
"Thank you all for your hard work this time! When the movie is released, I will definitely hold a celebration banquet to treat you all!" As the director, Gu Qingshan took the lead in raising his glass to toast everyone.
Everyone quickly said that Director Gu was too kind and drank their glasses of wine.
After that drink, everyone started eating, and some people were already enthusiastically playing drinking games.
Of course, some people also came over to offer a toast.
Gu Qingshan never refused anyone who came to offer him a toast.
Xu Zheng also toasted Gu Qingshan and asked, "Director Gu, how much do you think our film 'Nightclub' will do at the box office?"
"Yeah, Director Gu, why don't you tell us?" The others were very curious about this.
Gu Qingshan, holding his wine glass, chuckled and said, "Box office numbers are hard to predict; there are too many influencing factors. However, I hope the box office will exceed ten million. After all, with an investment of three million, it needs to gross ten million to break even."
The film market is still small now, and only five films grossed over 100 million yuan last year: "Curse of the Golden Flower" (250 million yuan), "The Banquet" (130 million yuan), "The Da Vinci Code" (1.05 million yuan), "King Kong" (1.02 million yuan), and "Fearless" (1.01 million yuan).
The total box office revenue in the entire mainland market last year was 26.02 billion yuan.
Gu Qingshan didn't say much, because if he dared to speak, it would spread quickly, and people would call him a big mouth and criticize him.
......
When Gu Qingshan woke up the next day, he found himself lying on a large bed in a hotel. The dizziness from being drunk made him frown.
Gu Qingshan couldn't remember how much he drank last night.
He drank himself into oblivion!
"My alcohol tolerance is so low. Even though my physical condition has been constantly improving since I restarted my life, my alcohol tolerance hasn't increased proportionally!" Gu Qingshan shook his head.
Whether it was due to the power of time and space, or the superposition of physical and spiritual power, after restarting his life, Gu Qingshan found that his physical fitness was constantly improving without any training, and his memory and thinking ability had become very good.
If he were to take the college entrance exam again, he might be able to become the top science student.
Gu Qingshan got up and washed up.
"Looks like I can't work today." Gu Qingshan opened his laptop and saw his QQ flashing continuously. He clicked on it and saw that it was a message from Jing Tian.
Afterwards, Gu Qingshan replied to Jing Tian's message.
About half an hour later.
"Knock knock~~"
A knock came at the door.
Gu Qingshan walked over and looked through the peephole; it was Jing Tian.
Gu Qingshan opened the door and asked curiously, "You haven't gone back yet!"
"You were drunk last night, and I was worried about you going back," Jing Tian said. "I had the hotel make some porridge for you; have some to warm your stomach."
Looking at what Jing Tian was holding, Gu Qingshan felt a warm current flow through his heart.
It's no wonder he didn't operate too shady in the film industry; he also put his heart and soul into guiding Jing Tian's acting during filming.
After letting Jing Tian in, Gu Qingshan opened the door and asked, "Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together."
"I've finished eating, you should eat now," Jing Tian said.
Gu Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony. Having spent nearly half a month together on set, Gu Qingshan understood Jing Tian and knew that there was no need for formalities.
In about fifteen minutes, Gu Qingshan finished off the porridge completely.
Jing Tian asked, "What are your plans for your next film?"
"The movie has just finished filming, how can I dare to think about the next one?" Gu Qingshan said with a laugh. "We'll wait until the movie is released and see how it performs at the box office before deciding. If it's a huge box office loss, I'll be too embarrassed to make any more movies."
Jing Tian quickly said, "No, even if the movie loses a lot of money, as long as the script you put forward is okay, I will invest in it, as long as I play the female lead again."
Gu Qingshan was taken aback.
Princess Jing is really throwing money away. The movie was a huge loss, yet she's still willing to invest in his next film.
Could it be that he possesses immense charm, attracting Princess Jing?
Jing Tian, feeling embarrassed under Gu Qingshan's gaze, blushed and said, "We're friends. You're incredibly talented. My dad always told me that investors are always a good choice. Besides, being the female lead in a movie... sounds pretty good!"
"You haven't fallen for me?" Gu Qingshan cautiously probed.
Jing Tian rolled her eyes at Gu Qingshan, "Like you my foot! Look at yourself in the mirror. If I were to like someone, it would be a handsome guy."
Jing Tian left with a flushed face.
Gu Qingshan scratched his head, realizing he had indeed been overthinking things.
