Chapter 40 An Unexpected Encounter at the Wrap-up Party

Time flies, and it's already mid-April.

Filming for "Lost in Thailand" has wrapped up successfully after half a month.

When Gu Qingshan announced the wrap-up of filming, the actors and crew members were all overjoyed.

Although it had only been half a month, they had worked together to complete the filming of a movie.

Gu Qingshan, holding a megaphone, shouted, "Everyone, please tidy up. We'll have half an hour to take group photos."

No matter what kind of film crew it is, they will definitely take a wrap-up photo as a memento when filming wraps up, especially a group photo.

Soon, the crew members efficiently packed up the props, costumes, cameras, and other equipment on set.

The extras started settling their wages and happily left with their money.

After we've taken enough individual photos, it's time to take a group photo.

Gu Qingshan stood in the center without hesitation, with Xu Zheng on his left and Wang Baoqiang on his right.

Click.

The image freezes!

Afterwards, everyone went to the hotel to attend the wrap party.

Now that we have more money, our wrap party is naturally much more lavish.

They held the wrap party directly at a five-star hotel.

Gu Qingshan stood up, raising his glass, and said to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Enough said, I'll just toast you all; everything is in this glass!"

"Director Gu, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you, Director Gu!"

Everyone drank their wine in one gulp.

Then they started eating with their chopsticks, taking big bites of meat and big gulps of wine.

The wrap party is a time for happy eating and drinking.

Filming for "Lost in Thailand" only took half a month to complete, and everyone received real money. The crew paid all wages in one go without any delays.

The food was also very good; it was a really good film crew.

Film crews like this are rare even across the entire country.

Xu Zheng poured a full glass of wine and toasted Gu Qingshan: "Director Gu, let me toast you. Thank you for your care!"

Gu Qingshan smiled and said, "It has always been a pleasure to work with you. I hope that you will become the leading figure in domestic comedy films in the future."

"Director Gu, I'd also like to toast you. Please call me again next time you have a film." Wang Baoqiang also toasted Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan smiled and said, "No problem, I believe that day will not be too far away."

The wrap party was lively and bustling, with many people coming to toast Gu Qingshan.

......

Toilet.

Gu Qingshan is washing his hands.

"Hey, Director Gu, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here." A voice came from inside.

Gu Qingshan looked over and saw Che Xiao with shoulder-length short hair, wearing a red dress, with black stockings clearly visible, and a pair of high heels.

"Che Xiao, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?" Gu Qingshan extended his hand.

This was the third time the two had met; the previous two meetings were at the wrap parties for "Nightclub" and "Love is Not Blind".

Gu Qingshan had a deep impression of Che Xiao. At 26, she was at the peak of her beauty, with delicate features, a tall figure, and an excellent temperament.

This girl was born into a family of performers. Her grandparents were both artists, her parents were actors, and Che Xiao became an actress at a young age.

Che Xiao smiled charmingly, "I came here today to attend a commercial performance, and I didn't expect to run into Director Gu here by such a coincidence."

"My movie just finished filming today, so I'm having a wrap party here," Gu Qingshan said with a smile.

After a conversation, the two exchanged phone numbers.

More than an hour later, the wrap party for "Lost in Thailand" ended, and everyone went their separate ways.

When Gu Qingshan arrived at his hotel room, he felt a little dizzy and took a shower.

Alcohol emboldens people. After a moment of internal struggle, Gu Qingshan couldn't resist picking up his phone and dialing a number.

About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Qingshan opened the door excitedly, and sure enough, it was Che Xiao!

Gu Qingshan glanced at Che Xiao briefly before letting her in.

After closing the door, Gu Qingshan had already put his arm around Che Xiaoxian's waist.

They're all adults, adults in the entertainment industry.

Since Gu Qingshan made the call and Che Xiao came, it means that Che Xiao was ready.

Gu Qingshan's hands wrapped around Che Xiao's slender waist, feeling the smooth and delicate texture, and gently stroked it up and down.

Che Xiao wrapped her arms around Gu Qingshan's neck, tilted her head slightly upward, and looked at him with seductive eyes.

......

I woke up the next day.

Gu Qingshan then felt someone resting their head on his right arm.

Then I saw that Che Xiao was sleeping soundly, having a sweet dream, with a smile on her face.

Gu Qingshan admired the Sleeping Beauty. In terms of looks, figure, and temperament alone, Che Xiao was top-tier in the entertainment industry. It was just a mystery why she had never become famous.

Perhaps it was because of that lavish wedding to the richest man in Shanxi Province; the more glamorous the wedding, the more severe the backlash.

But it must be said, Che Xiao is very radiant.

If there's any regret, it's that last night's advance was unimpeded, without any obstacles.

It was almost noon when Che Xiao woke up. Seeing Gu Qingshan, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still leaned against him. "Director Gu, if you have any suitable roles in the future, could you consider me?"

"Of course, you'll definitely be our first choice if a suitable role comes along!" Gu Qingshan patted Che Xiao's shapely buttocks.

He was very satisfied with Che Xiao's performance.

If a suitable role becomes available, Che Xiao would naturally be considered.

Che Xiao's face lit up with joy. Only by working in the entertainment industry can one truly understand its cruelty.

No matter how good-looking you are, it's all for nothing without resources.

Her family's resources were only enough for her to play some supporting roles.

She only got a supporting role now.

She was confident that she was no less than any other female star, but did it make a difference?

Gu Qingshan, on the other hand, is a highly sought-after director, making him a coveted prize.

Che Xiao was self-aware; she was several years older than Gu Qingshan, and a relationship between them was impossible. However, if she could obtain some resources, it would be worthwhile.

Gu Qingshan made a phone call, and Che Xiao came over without even thinking.

Looking at the beautiful and well-behaved woman, Gu Qingshan couldn't help but admire her for a while.

He picked up Che Xiao and the two walked around the room until they were sweating. Then they took a quick shower and left the room shortly afterward.

He had to catch a flight back to Beijing.

Che Xiao lay on the bed, her eyes somewhat vacant.

In her eyes, Gu Qingshan was the ideal support she had—talented, capable, powerful, and physically fit.

In her mind, the image of Gu Qingshan striving forward kept lingering, like a peerless warrior who was invincible on the battlefield.

"It's a pity I'm six years older than him, I have no chance at all. I really envy Princess Jing," Che Xiao murmured to herself.

Che Xiao's eyes held envy and disappointment.

A cruel truth in the entertainment industry is that directors are at the top of the food chain. It is only directors who marry actresses who are more than ten years younger than them; no actress has ever married a director who is more than ten years younger than herself.

Female celebrities in the entertainment industry have such short blooming periods, only a few years.

If she were the same age as Gu Qingshan, Che Xiao would definitely stop at nothing to compete for him.

However, reality prevented her from even having the luxury of competing.

This experience, in particular, is unforgettable for Che Xiao.
