Chapter 17 Wrap-up Party

Gu Bei was slightly stunned.

He hadn't looked in the mirror in a while.

The handsome boy in the mirror is 70% similar to his future self.

At that time, I was as thin as a monkey because I couldn't get used to the food in North America.

It was not until after graduating from university and joining Penguin that, nourished by the Cantonese cuisine, the flesh on her cheeks gradually became fuller, and her appearance remained basically unchanged until her rebirth.

When other colleagues of the same age began to go bald,
Not only does he still have thick hair, he also looks younger than the newly hired PhD in the group.

I don’t know if it’s because of the warm currents that transformed my body, or because of the cooking skills I’ve developed as a single person in my later life.

In just over two months, the flesh on his cheeks and limbs became plump.

The skin is white with a rosy glow, which shows that it is full of vitality.

As for the facial features and bone structure, they can be verified through battle records.

In the Penguin blind date group, Gu Bei was once awarded the title of "Mother-in-law Killer".

Because the girl's parents that Gu Bei had met had a satisfaction rate of over 90% with him, even the picky local families in Shenpeng City only needed a cup of tea to satisfy him.

Gu Bei's appearance,
He is not the kind of honest person who looks easy to bully.
He is not the kind of handsome guy who can make girls throw themselves at him.
Instead, he is as gentle as jade, close yet distant, and looks reassuring.

"Crash!"

Gu Bei turned on the faucet and washed his face.

He was thinking about the pattern of the appearance of this warm current, and he could no longer remember the timing of its first two appearances.

But these two times, the last time it appeared after getting Zhou Qianqian's investment, and this time it appeared after the short film was completed.

Could it be a reward for my hard work and sweat?
The first short film has been shot.

Next up is post-production and then submission to the Sundance Film Festival.

Although the Sundance Film Festival is not an A-level film festival,

But as Hollywood's back garden, many novice directors obtained the qualification to direct their first feature film from here and entered Hollywood.

For Gu Bei at the moment, this can be said to be a very good choice.

His royalties are enough to support an independently produced feature film, so all he needs is an endorsement. Having such a highly completed short film is enough.

Among the three major European film festivals, the most prestigious one is the Feature Film Award!
"Kaka!"

There was a sound coming from the bathroom door handle, and the locked door couldn't be opened from the outside.

Gu Bei turned off the faucet, shook off the water droplets, and opened the door.

Standing at the door was a strange woman.

Gu Bei avoided her body and walked out of the bathroom.

This is not surprising, as strangers often come to parties in North America.

Usually they are friends of the invitee who come over to play.

Anyway, it’s just the cost of a few bottles of beer and some snacks, and it will make the party more lively, so the party host naturally won’t care.

There are only seven crew members in total. If no one else is allowed to come, there will be no need to hold this wrap-up party.

There are probably twenty or thirty people in this apartment now.

Occasionally someone comes in and someone leaves.

Everyone was listening to light rock music, carrying beer, and chatting and socializing with their favorite people.

As for "uncles" like Eric who already have children, they sat in the corner, never letting go of the hand wearing the wedding ring.

However, Gu Bei was a little surprised to see Antonio next to Eric.

"Antonio, I didn't expect to see you in the lounge area." Gu Bei walked over and sat back in his seat. "Your party is even more flamboyant than my sixteen-year-old cousin's!"

Antonio leaned his elbows against the wall and rocked his chair. "I'm saving up my energy. There's a party waiting for me later."

"I'll finish post-producing the short film this week. How's it going on your end?"

"Absolutely no problem. The professor told us that as long as we submit it before December, it will be in time." Antonio got down to business and became serious, and his chair fell back to the ground steadily.

Gu Bei nodded after hearing this.

The Sundance Film Festival wraps up at the end of October.

But the film selector of the Sundance Film Festival is a professor at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, so he can naturally provide certain conveniences to the students of his school.

Antonio participated in Gu Bei's short film, which to some extent was helping them train students, so they wouldn't be too concerned about small things like the time it took to finish the film.

This is also a kind of social etiquette.

"Bruce, if Sundance is not enough for you, I can recommend Cannes to you." Eric showed goodwill to Gu Bei. After the short film was completed, he became more optimistic about Gu Bei's future.

"You have this method?" Antonio looked at him in surprise.

"I didn't, but Spielberg did."

Eric smiled faintly and pretended to be cool.

Gu Bei also became interested. He knew that Eric had participated in "Band of Brothers", but he didn't know that Eric had a personal relationship with Spielberg.

Eric took a sip of beer and revealed a piece of news: "Spielberg has a sequel next year, and I will be in it."

"Jurassic?"

Antonio was excited, this was his childhood.

The last Jurassic Park was released in 2001, but it didn’t do well at the box office and there has been no news of a sequel.

"Indiana Jones!"

Gu Bei suddenly spoke.

Eric half-shaked his head.

He was stuck in the middle and looked at Gu Bei in surprise: "Bruce, your senses are too sensitive."

He thought Gu Bei was looking at him and shaking his head, so he reacted immediately.

But only Gu Bei knew that the reboot of the Jurassic series would not be released until 2015, and Indiana Jones 4 would be released two years later in 2008.

"WTF!"

This news is even more explosive than the release of the fourth Jurassic World movie.

The last Indiana Jones movie was released in 1989, when Antonio was still wearing crotchless pants!
But as a director who wants to enter Hollywood, how could he not be familiar with this classic series?

"Can you be as calm as Bruce?" Eric said angrily, "I didn't say anything anyway, so don't tell me you heard it from me!"

Gu Bei calmly took a sip of Coke.

Compared to the Indiana Jones series of movies, he actually prefers "Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle", a stand-alone game that was released a year before Rebirth.

Eric and Antonio were chatting animatedly on the side.

Gu Bei took out his cell phone and found that he had switched it to silent mode when filming, and there were already several unread text messages.

He first responded to the investor, who was informing him that she had arrived home, so he simply replied.

The other few are from a man named Mark Merrill.

Gu Bei immediately became serious.

This is his old boss's territory, he has to dig it out seriously!
