Chapter 631 Father Zhang (33)
PS: I am going to add more chapters for the silver cute master cslaw.
We were at the Science and Technology Museum all afternoon. It was almost dark when we came out. Because Teacher Jiang was at home and Bai Jianping would go home for dinner in the evening, we did not eat out and drove back to Little Red Horse.
"Xier, don't go home. Come eat with us. I'll call your sister." Zhang Tan asked Xier to stay for dinner.
Xier took out her unused hundred-yuan bill from her pocket and wanted to give it to Zhang Tan as food expenses, but she still couldn't use it and it was stuffed back.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Tan Jiner got off work and came to Little Red Horse to pick up Xier. She has been a little tired recently, not physically tired from work, but mentally tired. She seems to be involved in the internal factional struggle of the hotel. She is not sure because no one told her and no one pointed it out, but she does feel the artificial obstacles.
She had never seen such a secret fight in the workplace. She had always devoted herself to her work and only wanted to do her job well. She had never thought that such a secret fight in the workplace in movies and TV dramas would affect herself.
Xier was led out by Teacher Xiaoman and was held by her hand to go home. On the way, she kept telling her about her visit to the Science and Technology Museum with Xiaobai today. She kept saying how much fun it was there.
"Here you go."
"What? Eh? Your money is useless?"
"hiahiahia~~~Boss Zhang said I'm a little friend, cute and adorable, and I don't need to spend money, hiahia~"
"Then you ate his food."
"Sister, I didn't eat for free, I washed the dishes, wiped the table, and swept the floor with Xiaobai."
"My Xier is so awesome."
"Sister~"
"Hmm?"
"Does Boss Zhang like me?"
"Huh?"
"hiahiahia, he gave me a big horse today, he didn't even give it to Xiaobai."
Back home, Xier ran back to the bedroom, and Tan Jiner called her to come over to wash her face and feet and go to bed.
She went to the kitchen to prepare hot water and brought it to the living room. She saw Xier was still in the bedroom. She went to look for the little friend, but she saw Xier standing in front of the dressing table with her back to the door, looking at something with her head down, motionless.
Tan Jiner suspected that she was eating candy secretly, "Xier~"
Xier turned around when she heard the voice, her big eyes sparkling, holding the photo frame that was originally placed on the dressing table in her hand, hiahia smiled and said: "Sister, I'm looking at Dad, I miss Dad."
Tan Jiner's tired heart suddenly surged, walked forward, gently hugged the little person with pity, squatted down and said softly: "Sister misses Dad too."
The photo frame in Xier's hand was a photo of their family of three. In the photo, Xier was riding on her father's shoulders with a smile on her face, and Tan Jiner was standing beside her with her arms around her father's arm and smiling.
"Sister~~" Xier put her little mouth close to Tan Jiner's ear and whispered to her that she secretly called Boss Zhang Dad, Zhang Dad today, but Boss Zhang didn't hear it. As she spoke, she hiahia laughed, as if she was amused by herself, but if she was really asked what she was laughing at, she couldn't answer.
This little person is simple and innocent, and many emotions are expressed with laughter. Her father said that girls who love to laugh will have good luck, so they should laugh more.
——
Luo Ming from Pujiang Film Studio called Zhang Tan and said that Lao Liu, the leader of the script evaluation team, was going to retire. They wanted to invite him to dinner and asked Zhang Tan if he had time.
Lao Liu was the leader of the script evaluation team. He was a senior screenwriter and should have retired long ago. The company rehired him and asked him to stay in the company to guide the newcomers.
When Zhang Tan first joined the studio, he spent his internship under Lao Liu. Not only him, but also Jiang Rong and He Chao. All the newcomers recruited by the studio have learned under him.
Now, Lao Liu doesn't want to work anymore. He went home to hug his grandchildren and enjoy his old age. He resigned cleanly last week.
"I just resigned. I had several meals with him and said no. Just call him or send him a text message. You are all busy. Don't waste your time on me. I have nothing to give you. I don't know anyone and can't help you."
When Zhang Tan arrived at the booked restaurant, he only heard Lao Liu complaining. Lao Liu saw him coming and pointed at him and said, "Zhang Tan is doing much better than me. If you have any problems, go to him. He is very capable. He got rid of He Miao."
Zhang Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Teacher Liu, you put such a big hat on me as soon as I entered the door. If I had the ability to get rid of He Miao, you wouldn't be able to retire today."
Lao Liu said, "When you joined the evaluation team, I said you would do well. I didn't expect you to exceed my expectations. The studio didn't keep you, which was the biggest failure. It was a big loss. From this point of view, He Miao deserved it. A leader can be ignorant of the business, but if he doesn't know how to recognize people, it is the biggest dereliction of duty."
Luo Ming pulled out a chair next to him and let Zhang Tan sit there.
Zhang Tan sat down and continued, "You are a retired man, so don't worry about this. Don't you have a grandson?"
"You are all my grandsons."
Everyone was choked by him.
Eight people came to the box, including Zhang Tan, Jiang Rong, He Chao and others.
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Ming raised his glass to toast Zhang Tan, saying that it was thanks to him that he could invite Teacher Liu today.
His words were just an introduction, so that Lao Liu could say the following words.
Lao Liu said that he had a friend who wanted to ask Zhang Tan for a script and asked Zhang Tan if he had time to write it.
Zhang Tan had several projects on his plate and hadn’t written a script for a long time. However, Lao Liu came to ask for it in person and he had to give it to him. He didn’t think twice before agreeing. Lao Liu gave him a phone number and said that the other party would give him a call. Just wait for the call and tell him that this person is a director named Chen Bin and has made several movies.
When Zhang Tan heard this name, he immediately thought of who this person was. This person is indeed not very famous, but that doesn't mean he has no ability. It's just that he is very low-key, and the movies he makes are all literary and artistic films. Although he has won international awards, he is not popular outside the circle, and it took several years to make such a movie. The rest of the time, there is no news at all, so let alone people outside the circle, even in the entertainment industry, there are many people whom I don't know or don't know.
However, Chen Bin has not been doing well in recent years. The movie "Five Years of Sharpening a Sword" was banned, causing his hard work to be wasted.
Old Liu said: "Zhang Tan, don't worry, Chen Bin is thinking about it this time and won't shoot some taboo subjects, so he came to you. Your commercial scripts are good and in-depth. You are commercially successful and have a better reputation." . Lao Chen knows that I know you, so he asked me to help you. Of course, I am just a matchmaker. You can decide what to do if it succeeds. "
Everyone returned home happily. The next morning, Zhang Tan finally received a call from Chen Bin. After exchanging a few words, he got straight to the point and said that he wanted to make a movie, but he only had an idea. How to adapt it into a complete script required Zhang Tan to expand it. .
The two made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop on West Chang'an Street. Chen Bin was in his 50s, tall and thin, wearing a peaked cap. He had a horse face, slender face, and a sallow complexion. He was quite ugly, but he had bright eyes. Full of energy.
He introduced his idea to Zhang Tan, the story of a poor family parasitizing another rich family, and it was all finished in a few words.
"No more?" Zhang Tan asked in surprise.
Chen Bin said embarrassedly: "That's all I can think of for the moment, but the purpose is very clear. It is to show the rupture of social classes, and the channels for people at the bottom to rise upward are gradually closed."
