Producer Zhao is a city dweller who grew up carefree with food provided.
The entire Zhao family is an electrical factory worker. My grandfather is the director of the factory, my grandmother is the director of the Women's Federation, my father is responsible for showing movies in the factory cinema, and my mother works as an accountant in the factory office. Other uncles and aunts also have iron rice bowls.
The elders of the Zhao family liked to read books and newspapers when they had nothing to do. The learning atmosphere in the family was so strong that in the late 1970s and early 1980s, all the seven siblings of the Zhao family were admitted to college.
After graduating from college, Zhao Fulin was assigned to work in a film studio.
When he first entered the workplace, Zhao Fulin was full of enthusiasm for his work when he recalled the good times he spent with his father and in movie theaters as a child.
I worked smoothly for more than ten years.
Seeing that the policy had changed and his father in his hometown had already privatized the electric motor factory, Zhao Fulin's restless heart began to become restless.
In the past, he felt that there was security within the system, the harvest was guaranteed during droughts and floods, and he was a decent person wherever he went, which was pretty good.
With the reform and opening up, the economy has been tightened from top to bottom, and people have slowly begun to focus on "money". With a monthly salary of 108 yuan, Zhao Fulin's yearning for freedom has become stronger and stronger.
Film is art, and true art must flourish in a free environment.
His former iron rice bowl began to be disliked by him.
He quickly convinced himself to resign and go to work and became a free independent producer.
Because of his good relationship with the system and by producing market-oriented dramas, Zhao Fulin quickly had a second career.
Many outsiders think that the director is the center of a film project, or that the crew revolves around the lead actor.
In fact, the producer is the overall person in charge of the film production process.
From script planning to crew establishment, from fund control and progress management to film distribution, publicity and marketing, producers are present in every aspect of film production.
If the director is a high-profile director, the producer will pay more attention to him and may respect his opinion when casting or changing the script.
But in most cases, directors have to play within a certain defined box.
When encountering a difficult producer, a bad screenwriter, or a troubled actor, the director may even feel uncomfortable dancing with shackles on his ankles.
Actors have even less rights than directors.
They are just the bricks that make up the movie, just listen to the arrangements.
If there are not enough actors, it will be difficult to change the lines.
So although Zhao Fulin is not known to many people like actors and directors, he is definitely a big shot in the industry.
I don't know where she caught the eye of this big boss. Zhao Fulin had treated her very well over the years and even introduced his wife and daughter to her.
At that time, she was not with Sang Yuan, and her father's business had not expanded. He was just the director of a small food factory, plus a big Internet celebrity.
In Zhao Fulin's eyes, A-list celebrities are nothing, let alone Internet celebrities.
Ni Bingyan couldn't even figure out why, but there was no way to ask this kind of question. He could only treat it as a matter of interest to the boss.
Ni Bingyan wanted to find a reliable agent on her own, but she couldn't figure it out for a while. Zhao Fulin took action, but he was able to quickly find someone who was suitable for her and had no conflict of interest with her.
The place for the meeting was still the teahouse.
But this teahouse was opened by Zhao Fulin himself.
For Zhao Fulin, if he doesn't drink tea any day, his life will be in vain.
This is a man of legend who goes to the mountains to film movies, preferring to reduce his luggage and carry tea sets on his back.
In his words, he likes so many tea sets that it’s almost pointless to keep them at home. He can’t carry tea sets every time he goes out to drink tea, so it’s better to open a teahouse.
Chaoshan people like tea. When discussing business with Chaoshan people, if you don't make tea properly and entertain them, they will feel that you don't pay attention to them and are neglecting them. This is not the way to discuss business.
Looking at themselves and others, they think everyone is like this.
So when Ni Bingyan arrived, he saw Zhao Rui scalding the teacup with a serious look on her face, and Zhao Fulin and a thin and serious man sitting beside him talking.
But it looked strange.
Ni Bingyan glanced at it and was too embarrassed to look further.
"Sorry, Uncle Zhao, I'm late. There's a traffic jam on the road during the morning rush hour."
That's the disadvantage of living in the city. No matter where you go, it's easy to get stuck during morning and evening rush hours.
"No, it's because we arrived early. I'm old and feel young, so I came here early to chat and check the store's account. It's just right."
When two people meet and say something, you can immediately tell what kind of relationship they have.
Zhang Liansheng couldn't help but glance at her.
Ni Bingyan is not the kind of person who has no sense of time. When he goes out, he leaves enough time for the morning rush hour, so he is not late.
After saying hello, he sat down next to Zhao Rui and asked about Zhang Liansheng: "I wonder what I should call this gentleman?"
Producer Zhao chuckled: "This is Ruirui's uncle Zhang Liansheng. You can just call him Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Liansheng?
Ni Bingyan felt like she had heard this name somewhere, but she was sure that she had never seen this person before.
Ni Bingyan said hello politely, and then took the tea that Zhao Rui had brewed.
She is not good at tea tasting either. When buying tea to give as gifts, she only knows to buy expensive tea, otherwise she has to ask her father for help.
Zhang Liansheng was really serious. He just nodded, said "hmm" and just sat there without saying anything.
Ni Bingyan has seen many big scenes, and his psychological quality is quite strong. He did not show any timidity when he saw this, and only talked to Zhao Fulin and his daughter.
No matter when, there is no need to put a hot face on a cold butt.
In love, this is called dog-licking behavior; in the workplace, this is called underestimating one's own value.
No one in their right mind would do it.
Producer Zhao seemed to have expected it, but he was not in a hurry and just chatted with her:
"How are you two little guys?"
"It's good. The amount of milk is getting bigger and bigger now, and I have to add milk powder to get enough."
"Didn't you take a full moon photo or something?"
"I took pictures, and I took a lot of them. I invited friends to come to my house to take pictures, but I didn't post them online."
"That's right. In your profession, it's normal to not want your children to be exposed too much."
"Yes. I'll send you an invitation later for the Hundred Days Banquet."
Speaking of which, it was at the end of August, not long ago.
"good."
Zhao Fulin picked up the tea made by his daughter, took a sip, and frowned: "What a pity for my good tea. Come on, Lian Sheng, you can try it."
Zhang Liansheng had already tasted it.
"It has been brewed very well. How many children her age don't even understand the order of brewing tea."
"Thank you for your help regarding Ruirui's matter the day before yesterday. This child is a bit silly and sweet, and he was coaxed away accidentally. It's a good thing to suffer a little loss."
Ni Bingyan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's a small effort, why bother? I just happened to meet him."
The people present were all their elders, and Zhao Rui did not shy away from it, and said angrily:
"My father is too capable. There is nothing I can do. If my father is a sesame seed seller, who will please me? Is it possible that he just wants to get a 20% discount on sesame seed cakes?"
Her words were playful, not only did Zhao Fulin laugh, but Zhang Liansheng couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Then I should be honored. Someone has an idea for you?"
"Hey, there's nothing I can do. My Prince Charming is lost. He can't wait for me left or right. I finally got one, but it's still a mess."
"Your mother arranged a blind date for you, and you're still not happy. What's the use of talking about it now?"
When it comes to blind dates, Zhao Fulin directly drives people away: "Didn't we make an appointment to see someone today? Why don't you leave yet!"
Zhang Liansheng didn't speak until Zhao Rui left.
"Have Ms. Ni thought clearly about your future career plans? Are you sure you want to keep acting?"
Ni Bingyan has been struggling with this question for a long time. When Zhang Liansheng asked it, he guessed it by looking at her expression.
"If you haven't made up your mind to go all the way to the dark side, I have a suggestion. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
I firmly believe that for any relationship to last, what is gained and what is lost must be roughly conserved. A relationship maintained by emotion requires equal affection, and a relationship maintained by profit cannot be stingy. To put it simply, if the prostitution is free, the mistress will run away. If you use money to insult your true love, your true love will feel that you don't respect her. I bought a dog crate for the dog to sleep in. As a result, the two children were squeezed in and couldn't get out, so they said they would sleep with the dog tonight. Then when he got sleepy, the left one rubbed his eyes and called his mother, while the right one threw himself into his arms and asked his mother to sleep with him. Forget about their canine friend for now.
