Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

Gu Zhongyu's arrival immediately shifted the focus of everyone in the audience.

After he walked onto the stage, everyone greeted him enthusiastically.

Gu Zhongyu is both an actor and the president of an entertainment company. His status in the circle is almost equal to that of the Wang brothers of Huayi. Even if none of the people on the scene except Liu Shishi are artists of his company, they still have to be polite to him and dare not neglect him in the slightest.

Wu Qilong saw that the person who came was Gu Zhongyu. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he could only smile and give up the C position, so Gu Zhongyu stood with Liu Shishi.

"Teacher Gu, why are you here? It seems that you haven't shown up much in the past two years?"

"You have been a teacher at Beijing Film Academy for the past two years. What exactly caused you to retreat behind the scenes when your acting career was at its peak?"

"I am your fan. Do you have any plans to return to filming?"

The reporters in the audience naturally would not waste this material that was enough to make headlines. After seeing Gu Zhongyu, they kept asking questions and must dig out something valuable.

"Don't worry, I know what you want to ask. Please be quiet and I will answer you slowly."

"First of all, why am I here? That's because the drama "Startling by Each Step" was mainly invested and produced by our Zongheng Entertainment. It's normal for me to appear at the celebration banquet as a producer and investor. I just want to join in the fun."

When he heard this, Li Guoli, as a director, looked unhappy. This drama was jointly produced by Zongheng and Tang Ren, but Gu Zhongyu didn't mention their company at all.

In his impression, Gu Zhongyu is not such an arrogant person?

"Second, I actually responded to this question a long time ago. Everyone knows that I filmed too many movies in those years and was a little exhausted, so I just chose another lifestyle, which can be regarded as a long vacation for myself. And I didn't retreat behind the scenes, but returned to my alma mater Beijing Film Academy to teach. I think educators are always on the front line."

"Third, as for whether I have plans to make a comeback! Everyone can pay attention to it. My new film will start shooting next month. This movie is my first work after returning to the entertainment industry."

Wow! Is Gu Zhongyu really going to return to the entertainment industry?

Upon hearing this news, the reporters in the audience were very excited. Some of them had already taken out their computers and started writing articles on the table. This kind of big news that suddenly appeared tested the speed of reporters' publishing!

"Can you tell us what kind of movie it is?"

A female reporter from the movie channel asked. She always felt sorry that Gu Zhongyu did not continue to film. Now she was very happy to hear that he was going to make a comeback and was very concerned about what his new movie would be like.

"What I can reveal now is that this is a science fiction blockbuster. As for the specific content, you can come to the opening ceremony of my new film and you will know."

Gu Zhongyu whetted the appetite of the reporters. This was one of his plans. From the beginning, he had to maintain the high attention and mystery of the movie "Ball Lightning" to pave the way for its future release.

"Science fiction blockbuster? Is it a Sino-US co-production? Or are you going to Hollywood to develop?" The female reporter asked curiously.

The word "science fiction" is very new to the Chinese film industry today, and it is easy to associate it with Sino-US co-productions or Chinese actors playing supporting roles in Hollywood.

From "The Forbidden Kingdom" released in 2008, to "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" this year, and "The Mermaid Empire" which is still being filmed, these Sino-US co-productions always attract the public's attention. Does Gu Zhongyu want to join this wave of popularity with his comeback?

"No, it's not a co-production. This is a pure domestic science fiction movie, from actors to special effects. I won't say more. You can find out for yourself when the time comes." Just kidding, he wouldn't think of making a double-edged movie!

At this time, the reputation of co-productions has not been completely rotten, but it is not far from the label of being synonymous with bad movies. Gu Zhongyu has also received invitations for some messy Sino-US and Sino-Korean co-productions, all of which he declined.

This kind of co-production is basically either for money deception or money laundering, and he will not accept it no matter how much he is paid.

When the reporters heard that it was a domestic science fiction, their expressions were a little strange.

From the early "Wesley's Blue Blood Man" and "The Fist God", to last year's "Future Police" by King Liu and "City Alert" by Guo Fucheng, the continuous domestic science fictions have finally become super bad movies that shock the audience!

Although this is Gu Zhongyu's comeback work, everyone still lowered their expectations in their hearts, thinking that it would be good if the box office could reach tens of millions and Douban's rating was over five points!

Due to Gu Zhongyu's arrival, several reporters on the scene almost forgot the leading actors of the TV series. Liu Shishi and others didn't care, but Wu Qilong, who was standing on the outside, was already complaining in his heart!

This is obviously a celebration banquet for our TV series, how did it become your personal press conference, Gu Zhongyu?

"Okay, I've talked too much, it's really a bit of a distraction, let's focus on our leading actors!" With that, Gu Zhongyu walked off the stage by himself, regardless of the reporters who were still asking him questions.

…

After the interview, there was a formal celebration dinner. Before the dinner started, the actors were still accepting media interviews and had not yet taken their seats.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Guoli found Gu Zhongyu, who was sitting at the main table playing with his mobile phone, and greeted him politely.

"Mr. Gu! Why didn't you say hello when you came? I can make arrangements for you!"

"I'm just idle and bored. I just came here to join in the fun and have a meal. Why bother Director Li?" Gu Zhongyu responded without raising his head, looking a little rude.

"Then we, Tang Ren Company, should ask you alone. After all, the success of our "Bu Bu Jing Xin" cannot be separated from your help!"

Li Guoli was very unhappy when he saw him like this, and reminded Gu Zhongyu in his words that this drama was produced by Tang Ren and Zongheng together, and what you just said was a bit disrespectful to us!

After Li Guoli said this, Gu Zhongyu finally raised his head and looked at him, then said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I have another question that I want to ask Director Li."

"Mr. Gu, please speak."

"Isn't it excessive to poach artists from other companies?"

"Of course."

"Then why did I hear that Wu Qilong had been harassing our company's artist Liu Shishi during the filming? And it is said that you, Director Li, supported this. Isn't this poaching me?"

"Mr. Gu, it's not up to me to decide who Wu Qilong wants to pursue, and Shishi is also single. This can be considered a free love relationship, and it can't be said to be poaching, right?"

Li Guoli lied. In fact, there was Tang Ren's instruction behind Wu Qilong's pursuit of Master Liu.

It is true that the company boss Cai Yinong particularly likes the actress Liu Shishi. Unfortunately, she has signed a contract with Zongheng Entertainment early, and she does not dare to poach people directly. Such obvious poaching will definitely offend Gu Zhongyu. Referring to the past experience of the Wang brothers, it is simply not worth the gain!

So she and Li Guoli made a plan. Since Wu Qilong is interested in Liu Shishi, they should take advantage of this filming opportunity to encourage him to pursue it boldly (because of the butterfly effect, Wu Qilong is now also a contracted artist of Tang Ren Company) , as long as you catch him, with this old man's methods, can't he fool this young girl into confusion?

As long as people are trapped, Wu Qilong will encourage Liu Shishi to cooperate with Tang Ren a few more times. After the number of times increases, he will not renew the contract when the economic contract expires, and then join Tang Ren!

In this way, it cannot be regarded as their active poaching, and it is also in line with the tradition of the industry.

Cai Yinong's abacus was pretty loud, but it was just wishful thinking.

She had no idea about the personal relationship between Liu Shishi and Gu Zhongyu.
