CEE started with Nortel lecturers

Chapter 70

The crew did not stay in Harbin, but flew directly back to Yanjing the next day to hold the wrap-up banquet.

The finale banquet was held at a roast duck restaurant at first, but Gu Zhongyu felt that it was not suitable for the style of the first big movie in the first year of Zongheng Science Fiction

So I paid out of my own pocket again to upgrade the roast duck restaurant to Qianmen Restaurant, which is one of the oldest restaurants in Yanjing. I think Li Yin’s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also held here for the finale banquet.
In overseas markets, the current highest-grossing Chinese-language movie is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Gu Zhongyu chose to hold the wrap-up banquet here because he wanted to get a good start.

In the lobby, more than a dozen round tables have been set up. Apart from the crew members, some friends also came to join in the fun, such as Jiang Wen who is complaining to Gu Zhongyu.

"You are really fast! It took 40 days from the start to the finalization? It was over before I had time to visit the set. Are you making a movie or going out?"

Although Jiang Wen didn't say anything, he felt in his heart that this movie would most likely hit the street!

Are there any sci-fi films that can be finished in less than two months?
Science fiction films represent the level of the film industry. Although Jiang Wen has never made such films, he is very aware of the huge gap between China and Hollywood in this regard.

It takes an average of 871 days for the six major Hollywood studios to shoot an A-level movie, an average of 146 days for mid- and pre-production, and the shortest shooting stage is 106 days.Post-production takes an average of 301 days.From the release of the filming news to the formal entry into the pre-production process, including creative planning and script creation, this period takes up to 309 days.

There is no such film industry base in China. Even Xiantao Digital, which currently has the best special effects technology in the industry, is far from established companies such as Industrial Light and Magic and Digital Domain. The production time should be longer.

After shooting in such a short time, you are afraid that you are not here to cheat money?

"Hey! I forgot what I told you before, right? My movie is originally a sci-fi work that combines the characteristics of our Chinese dynasty, not a Hollywood special effect. Have you seen "Contact"? We are almost the same type, the one that explores and solves puzzles."

"Also, I plan to catch up with the release of this year's Spring Festival!" Gu Zhongyu added.

Jiang Wenchong gave him a thumbs up, you can do it, I'll see if it's a mule or a horse when I go to see it during the Spring Festival.

As dishes and drinks were placed on the table, the wrap-up banquet officially began. Director Guo Fan was supposed to toast the first glass of wine, but Gu Zhongyu is the boss of the company, so he should be the one to take the lead on this occasion.

Gu Zhongyu waved his hand and asked Guo Fan to come by himself. He is the director. Although he is the boss of the company, he is only an actor in the crew and should not steal his limelight.

So Guo Fan stood up shyly.

"Thank you to all the crew for their hard work in the past few days. This is my first film in our company. Please forgive me for any mistakes I made before. Here, let us also celebrate in advance the big sale after the film's release!"

Then raise your glass and drink it down!

"Papa papa." The applause continued.

"Director Guo is being humble!"

"Boss Gu and Director Guo have worked hard during this time!"

"Our movie will definitely win the box office champion!"

The other actors, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Wei and others were also very happy, and they raised their glasses and immediately toasted to Gu Zhongyu.

The two of them can be regarded as difficult brothers, they are both classmates who graduated from Nortel, they met at the end of the day, and they were accompanied by hardships. Before that, they struggled together at the bottom of the entertainment industry, playing various tricks and supporting roles.

This "Ball Lightning" is the best script and role they have received in these years. The two are also very grateful for Gu Zhongyu's support. Although they are teachers from Nortel according to their seniority, they have never put on the airs of teachers in front of him.

Yang Mi and Chen Baoguo were much calmer. Apart from Gu Zhongyu, they had the biggest names in this drama, and they were already used to such lively occasions.

Kid Bai Lu saw the big guy drinking baijiu so happily, he followed suit, poured a glass of little muddled fairy, and took a sip first...

"Cough, cough, cough." The wine just entered her mouth, and before she swallowed it, she sprayed it all out!

What is this?Worse than horse urine!
Feeling that her throat was burning, Bai Lu quickly picked up the fat house water on the table and poured it vigorously.

"Haha! This kind of drink is still too advanced for a little girl like you, just drink some juice." Seeing his little assistant was choked to the point of tears, Gu Zhongyu began to gloat.

"Xiao Bailu, you can try beer first, and then when you get on the table, you can just take the beer and give the elders on the table a round of respect, don't drink white." Wang Jinchun felt that this little girl was quite fun, so he began to pass on the experience of the wine table.

"Especially when there are a bunch of men at the dinner table who insist on pouring you alcohol even after they know you can't drink, be careful! If something goes wrong, get out of here immediately!" Yang Mi added.

It's good that this silly girl is protected, and fortunately she is an assistant beside Gu Zhongyu. Although Gu Zhongyu is not a good bird, at least she won't force women or drink or drug her.

So Bai Lu opened a can of beer and drank it. Although she still didn't think it tasted good, she could barely swallow it, so she took the beer and began to toast with the people on the table.

Seeing the playfulness of the little girl, the others also smiled back at her.

"Mimi, why don't you drink? If you don't move the glass, I'm going to pour you wine!" Gu Zhongyu saw Yang Mi's steady state after drinking two glasses of wine, and couldn't help but come to trouble.

Yang Mi glanced at him disdainfully: "If you want to pour me down, let's save some trouble. I'll just lie down on the ground. You can do whatever you want."

"Pfft..." Gu Zhongyu almost spit out the wine in one sip!

Big sister, you are too tough!There are so many people at the dinner table today!Can you restrain yourself a little bit?

The others at the table were collectively deaf, ignored this sentence, and continued to drink and eat like nothing happened.

……

A meal was eaten from noon to more than two o'clock in the afternoon. It can be said that the host and guest had a good time.Under normal circumstances, after a wrap-up banquet, it may be difficult to meet friends who were still hooking up with each other before in this life.

However, most of the people who came today were employees of Zongheng Entertainment, so they didn't have this trouble, so they didn't bid farewell after the meal, and went straight home. See you at the company tomorrow and it's over.

Yang Mi left after eating. Although she pushed back a lot of film appointments, she still had a lot of work to do, and she would not have time to go back to Yanjing in the next few months.

Gu Zhongyu also drank a lot of wine today, mainly because Jiang Wen's cannon was on the table, otherwise others would not have the guts to drink him.

He didn't choose to have someone take him home, but directly opened a suite upstairs to rest for a while.

When he was in a daze of drunkenness, it seemed that a burst of fragrance helped him, and he was sent all the way back to the room, and then he helped him take off his coat...
