Chapter 10
Woman, your name is Xiatou!
"I'll give you half! Come in first, it's too cold outside." Gu Bei opened the small door. The lobby of the post-production company was still very cold, but at least there was no biting cold wind outside.

I'm not greedy!

Liu Yifei walked in with a pout.

She thought there was rarely any breakfast in New York, so she used a bread maker to heat up breakfast for both of them before going out.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Bei arrived, he actually brought his own breakfast.

It’s okay to bring it, but the key is that it sells so much better than hers!

And it’s only his share!
Gu Bei walked straight to the tea room.

In North America, what does the first person who comes to the company do?
Make coffee!
After Gu Bei was reborn, the thing he couldn't stand the most was American coffee.

I had already drunk so much that I vomited in my previous life, and now I have to suffer the same punishment again after being reborn.

But there was no other way. There was no way there was milk in the tea room. Milk was much more expensive than coffee. Being able to replenish sugar packets every day was already a conscience of this post-production company.

At this time, Gu Bei missed Luckin Coffee so much!

The office area of ​​the post-production company was completely dark.
There was only one light in the tea room, illuminating the two people on both sides of the tea table.

"Ding!"

Gu Bei poured two cups of coffee, held the edge of the paper cup, and pushed one cup to Liu Yifei who was sitting across the tea table.

When Liu Yifei saw the dark American coffee, her face immediately frowned.

But she also knew,
This kind of tea room only has two options: hot coffee and ice water.

Liu Yifei didn't dare to challenge herself to drink ice water in such single-digit temperature weather, even though there was still a long time to go, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.

Gu Bei took a sip of coffee and tasted the familiar hot pot water.

But the whole person was shocked, as if he was charged with energy, or it could be a conditioned reflex.

He pulled the candy box over and pushed it in front of Liu Yifei, indicating that she could take it as she pleased.

Liu Yifei was slightly moved. After staring at him for a while, she turned her head away with determination to express her refusal.

This kind of sugar bag contains pure white sugar.

If only you could enjoy dessert and feel comfortable ignoring the frosting.

But asking her to add two packets of this stuff to herself,
That is a challenge to her professionalism as a female star!

Absolutely not!

Gu Bei didn't add it either. Even if he did, it would just make the hot pot water sweet and still taste bad.

"How long have you been waiting outside?"

"More than ten minutes." Liu Yifei sipped her coffee. "You're too late!"

"If you work in the future, you will definitely be a chosen worker!" Gu Bei ignored her accusations, wrapped the middle part of the fried dough stick with paper, broke it into two parts, and handed one part to Liu Yifei with the paper.

"why?"

Liu Yifei's face was full of question marks as she reached out to take it.

"The advantage of being a boss and an investor is that you can work whenever you want and rest whenever you want. Only workers come in so early!"

Gu Bei saw her clear yet silly eyes and felt that studying for a master's degree was indeed suitable for her.

Liu Yifei stopped talking.

She took a big bite of the fried dough stick. It had been out of the pan for a long time and had lost its crispness, but the soft texture and the unique aroma of the oil still caught her eye.

"Delicious! Where did you buy it? Chinatown?"

"I blew it up myself."

Gu Bei finished his half and took two more slices of bread.

Then he noticed the pair of wide eyes on the opposite side, still in a state of shock.

He smiled and said, "After you stay here for a few years, I guarantee you will be able to do anything!"

There are quite a lot of choices for lunch in North America.

But I just can't get used to eating breakfast.
Maple pancakes, bacon, cereal, etc., they all look more like snacks.

The most important thing is that there are really few places selling breakfast here. You can't find one even if you run several blocks at this time.

Liu Yifei muttered to herself, "My mom can't do that either!"

"Let's get to work! Let's get to work!" Gu Bei drank his coffee in one gulp, threw the paper cup into the trash can, stood up, and stretched his body without caring about his image.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei quickly finished the fight with a few bites, her little face puffed up.

Gu Bei took her to the film room.

The space in the front room is not big, only about a dozen square meters.

"It's so small!" Liu Yifei was a little surprised.

"There's a projection area in the back, and this is just a place to check the film reels."

Gu Bei looked at the ground, which was filled with octagonal silver boxes containing movie films.

The upper part of these boxes with handles is covered with white stains left by torn stickers. There is no place that has not been covered with stickers.

Gu Bei searched on the ground and found the footage from yesterday's shooting.

He turned his head and said, "Give me the scissors on the table."

Liu Yifei handed over the scissors and squatted down curiously: "Is this our film in there?"

"See? It says the sound mixer, the film type, aspect ratio, sound, and other information."

Gu Bei used scissors to cut the white plastic cable tie.

He pulled open the handle of the silver box, revealing the film reels lined up inside.

Pull out one of them and place it on the rocker arm machine on the workbench.

"These film strips were developed last night. Our first step is to check if there is any damage to them."

While explaining to Liu Yifei, Gu Bei took out a new disc from the shelf and placed it on the bracket on the right.

"Snapped!"

The light panel on the table turns on.

Pure white light shines straight upwards from the light panel.

Gu Bei pulled the tape on the disc on his left hand, and the tape brought out the film.

He applied the tape to the inner circle of the right-hand disc.

The film crosses the light board,

Like a bridge between two discs,
Under the white light of the light board, the image on the film is clearly visible.

Liu Yifei looked at the picture above carefully.

She had filmed TV series and movies, but this was her first time seeing film in a film room.

The film shows Gu Bei falling down.

Looking from right to left, it forms a continuous picture.

You can see Gu Bei struggling to get up from the ground, being helped up by someone, and finally his corpse is revealed.

"Ha!" Liu Yifei was shocked when she saw the end.

"Haha! I thought you were very brave!" Gu Bei couldn't help laughing. He dared to stay at the door alone before dawn, but he didn't expect that he would be scared by the corpse.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

Gu Bei took out two gloves, threw one to her, and put one on his right hand.

"Watch carefully, do as I do, gently touch the film's perforations, don't pinch too hard." Gu Bei taught Liu Yifei, asking her to do the same action as him.

Liu Yifei imitated Gu Bei and carefully supported the bottom of the film with four fingers and placed her thumb on top of the film.

Even through a layer of gloves, I could still feel the icy temperature of the film.

"Don't be afraid, film isn't that delicate. Let's get started!"

Gu Bei stepped on the pedal of the workbench and held the rocker machine with his left hand.

Under his control, the film passed at an extremely fast speed, winding around the new disc on the right.

"Move! Move!"

Liu Yifei watched excitedly as the film passed through her fingers.
