Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 81 Wrap-up Party

With the cooperation of the stunt team, this scene was completed successfully.

"Cut!"

Andrew's face was covered in blood stains from his makeup, and he looked up expectantly.

Antonio, Henry, Tim and other crew members also looked at Gu Bei expectantly.

Gu Bei waved to the producer Qiao, who brought him a handheld megaphone.
Gu Bei shouted into the megaphone, "I think we've finished this movie!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cheer at the scene.

After nineteen days of filming, Whiplash was finally completed.

This progress is two days faster than the three weeks planned by Gu Bei.

But the crew members involved in this project are very clear that they have completed an amazing project.

"Today at 5pm, wrap party!
You've all been looking forward to it for so long, I think everyone should know where the party is, right?"

At this time, the role of the loudspeaker is revealed.

After being amplified by the loudspeaker, Gu Bei's voice reached the ears of everyone present.

This immediately caused even louder cheers. No one doesn't like a party.

Of course, it’s not that absolute.

At least Gu Bei and Liu Yifei, who refused to come, didn't like parties very much.

Even though Gu Bei, as a director, didn't like it very much, he still had to attend the wrap party.

This wrap party is naturally different from the one during the sound tuner period.

Producer Joe rented a villa specifically for holding the wrap party.
In addition to drinks, the party also features non-stop barbecue and pizza, ensuring everyone leaves tipsy but not hungry.

"Bruce, thank you for choosing me. This is a very good experience." Henry came over with a glass of wine and gestured to Gu Bei.

"hope you do not mind."

Gu Bei picked up a can of Coke and shook it in front of Henry.

Sure enough, Gu Bei frowned when he saw Henry: "Bruce, this won't do. Are you in the alcohol withdrawal period?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Gu Bei heard the laughter beside him and turned to look over.
Andrew, who has a low sense of humor, and Antonio are already laughing together.
He knew Gu Bei's age during the audition, and he was not yet 21, the legal drinking age.

Gu Bei turned around and explained to Henry:

"Antonio is in the stage of recovery, but as for me... the law restricts me."

"WTF?"

Henry looked shocked.

He quickly looked at Andrew and Antonio,
Antonio showed him his medal, which represented abstinence from alcohol for more than 30 days.

Andrew smiled and nodded at him.

Henry finally believed it.
With an expression of disbelief, he clinked his glasses with Gu Bei's. "Sorry, I just really can't think of this. After all, this is too unusual."

Gu Bei didn't care and took a sip calmly: "What are you going to do next?"

"I'm waiting for Showtime to broadcast "The Tudors". If this show can be renewed, I won't have to worry about my work in the next few years." Henry smiled.

"With your qualifications, it would be a shame if you didn't play Superman." Gu Bei sighed.

"Hahaha, there was indeed a producer who wanted me to play Superman, but unfortunately the project was cancelled."

Henry smiled and shook his head, "Maybe I can wait until you go direct the Superman movie, Bruce."

The Superman Project that Henry mentioned is the Superman Project before Superman Returns.
He was originally scheduled to star in Superman, but unfortunately due to trouble at Warner Bros., the entire project was cancelled and Superman Returns was launched instead.

The result was an A+-level blockbuster with a budget of $2.7 million, which earned $2 million in North America and less than $4 million worldwide. The Superman IP had to be shelved once again.

But Warner…it’s just a daily routine! “Let’s just forget about Warner DC!”

Gu Bei shook his head and decided not to step into such a deep pit.

Then he looked at Henry,

As expected, today, 2007, is Henry's lucky year!
Before that, Henry missed the Superman project in 04, the Goblet of Fire project in 05, and the Casino Royale project in 06.

Every time I reach the last round,
Either the project is cancelled, or you are eliminated.

But starting from this year's "The Tudors", he officially became popular. After the four seasons of the TV series were broadcast, he immediately became a celebrity.

And now, Whiplash should be the first one on this road!
"What about me! What about me!" Andrew interrupted, "Bruce, which superhero do you think I'm suitable for? Batman?"

After saying that, he also said 'I'm Batman' in Batman's accent!

"Give up. You'll never be able to play Batman with the way you look!" Antonio poured cold water on him. Andrew did look a little too much like Batman.

"Not always!"

Gu Bei thought of Robert Pattinson, the Twilight actor.

Even he played Batman, so it’s not impossible for Andrew.

After a pause, he said to Andrew: "But I still think you are more suitable for Spider-Man."

"BiuBiuBiu!"

Andrew was very cooperative.
He immediately made a move of shooting spider silk, and his expression was really a bit extraordinary.

He had just finished posing when he immediately burst into laughter again: "Bruce, I guess only if you direct the Spider-Man project can I beat Tobey Maguire!"

Gu Bei smiled and said, "Then I'd choose Toby. He should be able to carry the box office better than you."

A few people were chatting and laughing.
J.K. Simmons and producer Joe came over with glasses of wine.

"Look, look, these are my three drummers, what great guys!" J.K. Simmons joked with a smile using his movie character.

After a pause, he gestured to Gu Bei with his wine glass: "Thank you, Director. I really like the character you wrote about Fletcher!"

"I like your portrayal of Fletcher, too!"

Gu Bei picked up the Coke and gestured back.

Actors like J.K. Simmons have great acting skills and are cheap, so the cost-effectiveness is very high.

Andrew is the male lead in the movie Whiplash, but the focus of the whole movie is on J.K. Simmons.
The entire film hinges on him, and his performance is flawless.

"Bruce, take a good two days off!" Joe said with a smile, "I'll organize the post-production work. You should go out and have a date or something and enjoy life!"

Gu Bei still has a lot of say in the post-production work, and naturally his workload is no less than that during the filming period.

but……

You can definitely take two days off.

Gu Bei took out his cell phone and found that he had received an unread text message in silent mode.

"Did you drink?"

"I didn't drink it. I was afraid of sending Joe to jail."

Since drinking under the legal age is the first person to be held responsible, the party organizer is naturally responsible, and Joe, who rented the villa, cannot escape blame.

"It's good that you didn't drink it!"

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"forget!"

"As long as you haven't forgotten!"
