Chapter 101 Birthday Party
"That Mr. Han?"
As Gu Wei left, the sound of discussions in the dressing room suddenly rang out.
"Who else could it be, the one from China Film Group?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else reacted and some of them began to have sparkles in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.
Unlike Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony in her previous life, this time there was only a small stage in the hotel and no so-called performance programs.
...
"Director Han, President Wang, thank you for coming to support us."
Han Sanping, Wang Changtian and others came to the hall, followed by Yu Dong from Bona.
"Mr. Yu, welcome."
Gu Wei greeted Yu Dong in front of everyone, after all, guests are welcome.
"Haha, come and join in the fun."
Han Sanping spoke first with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Director Gu, come and join in the fun."
Others followed suit.
"Director Han, President Wang, President Yu, please sit over here."
Gu Wei led a few people to the tables in the first row.
"Director Han."
"Mr. Wang."
People kept coming up to say hello along the way, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Coming to the first row, Gu Wei started chatting with a few people, while the others looked on eagerly and started to take their seats.
Gu Wei's table has the fewest people, but the heaviest portions, and they are all important people.
After a while, Liu Yifei came out accompanied by a group of people.
A white princess dress with crystal high heels.
Her black hair was draped over her shoulders and she wore a princess tiara on her head.
With bright eyes, white teeth and a tall figure, she exudes confidence and elegance, as if she were a princess from a fairy tale.
In the hall, everyone's attention was attracted by this scene.
Some invited reporters started taking pictures and flashes suddenly lit up.
"This girl is good, take advantage of her."
Han Sanping said this out of the blue, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Boss Han, this joke is not funny."
"Really?"
Han Sanping joked.
Liu Yifei came to the hall and looked around at everyone present. When she saw Han Sanping and others in the front row, she became unconsciously nervous.
Liu Yifei then walked onto the prepared stage, first thanked everyone present, and then briefly recounted her growth experience.
Then he expressed his gratitude to his mother, and his eyes became moist when he was moved.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli in the audience couldn't help but shed tears, then quickly took out a tissue to wipe them away. There were many people present tonight, and she couldn't lose her manners.
Finally, there was a simple paragraph of thanks, mainly thanking others for taking care of him, especially Gu Wei. Liu Yifei even waved to him specially.
The people off the field saw the interaction between the two and showed a look of watching on their faces, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
After a brief speech, the dinner officially began.
The gifts brought by Han Sanping and others were all ordinary gifts, but the people who gave the gifts were somewhat extraordinary.
"Keep doing your best in the future, this little girl is pretty good."
After the gifts were delivered, Han Sanping spoke.
The voice was quite loud and the people at the next table also heard what Han Sanping said and looked at Liu Yifei with envy in their eyes.
"Thank you, Director Han."
Liu Yifei looked a little reserved and began to thank him.
Then, Liu Yifei went to other people and chatted with them one by one.
...
"Now that you have graduated, what are your plans next?"
As soon as Han Sanping finished his words, everyone else at the table fell silent and looked at Gu Wei.
"Boss Han, it's so lively here today, can we not talk about the movie?"
"Bullshit, we are all in the same industry, if we don't talk about filming, what else can we talk about?"
“You are still young, don’t be lazy, hurry up and make your next movie.
Also, how is the production of your cartoon going? When is it going to be released?" Han Sanping continued to ask.
“It will be almost finished by the end of the year, and with post-production editing and dubbing, it will take until the second half of next year at the earliest.”
Gu Wei did not hide anything and told the approximate time.
"Well, in the second half of next year, the domestic ban on guided missiles will end then."
"Calculating the time, about the same."
Gu Wei took a bite of the dish and tasted it. It tasted pretty good.
"After Director Gu's ban ends, if there are any projects in China, Bona can invest in them, no matter how big the project is."
Yu Dong took the opportunity to speak it out, and then looked at Han Sanping. Seeing that he had no reaction, he felt relieved.
"This guy is really good at taking advantage of loopholes."
Wang Changtian, who was sitting next to him, muttered to himself.
"Director Gu, the same goes for light. As long as you ask, it can follow."
Gu Wei said a few perfunctorily, without giving any definite information, and invited a few people to eat and drink.
...
Han Sanping and others didn't stay long. After chatting for a while, they got up and left, saying that they had other things to do.
Gu Wei took Liu Yifei and sent them to the hotel entrance.
"Director Han, don't worry about the movie. Director Yang should be retiring soon."
After walking out of the door, Gu Wei said in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll be relieved with your words."
Han Sanping understood what Gu Wei meant, then got in the car and left.
After seeing off this big shot, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.
Then Liu Yifei and her mother started to get busy again, greeting other guests.
"Director Gu, a toast to you."
Ning Hao was wearing a big gold chain and didn't look like he was attending a birthday party. Combined with his looks, he looked more like someone who came to collect protection money.
"You're dressed quite fashionably."
Gu Wei saw the lady who came with Ning Hao and asked, "Who is this?"
"Director Gu, this is my wife Xing Aina."
Ning Hao touched his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Director Gu, this is my wife Xing Aina. She was the one who wrote my script."
Ning Hao then introduced him to Gu Wei.
"Hello, Director Gu."
Xing Aina spoke up.
After hearing Ning Hao mention this, Gu Wei then asked, "How is the preparation for the film going? When is it going to start filming?"
"It is expected to start at the end of the year. I will have to trouble Director Gu again then."
Ning Hao's tone was very polite, not only because of Gu Wei's current status, but also because Gu Wei asked Ning Hao to direct the script he wrote, which indirectly made Ning Hao famous in the circle.
"Okay, don't worry about the funds. Just go to Wang Chen if you need anything."
Then the two chatted for a while, and Ning Hao found an excuse and left with his wife.
Most of the people who came tonight were Liu Yifei's friends, and the gifts they brought were also varied.
Generally speaking, girls tend to give cuter gifts, such as various plush toys, crystal toys, etc., while men are more casual. However, no one gives cash directly, after all, that thing is a bit vulgar.
Gu Wei's gift was similar to that of others, and he asked Wang Chen to choose it.
Since the person has already signed up for the company, there is no need to go to great lengths to prepare a special gift.
...
As time passed, people in the venue dispersed in groups of three or two.
"Senior, let's go sing karaoke together. The private room has been booked."
"I won't go, just have fun."
Gu Wei directly rejected Liu Yifei. He was tone-deaf and could only listen if he went. Besides, if he went, others would not be able to relax.
"Go ahead and have fun tonight."
When the others heard what Gu Wei said, they showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and many of them wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with Gu Wei more.
"Sissi, let's go."
"Xixi, let's go. Director Gu may have something to do."
Su Chang next to him said in a low voice.
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei's departing back and felt a little disappointed. However, she didn't want to offend everyone, so she left with the others, looking back every few steps.
