Beijing, Bright Entertainment Company.
Program Department, Deputy Director Promise Office.
"What's going on with Lao Tan? He was asked to play billiards before and he didn't even touch it, but today he came to me?" After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo simply packed up the documents on his desk and prepared to go to the gym downstairs.
Xu Nuo's face was full of excitement. The pool table in the gym had just arrived. He didn't expect that there was a pool table in the gym this time. He thought that he would go to the gym more often in the future.
Like Tan Yue, Xu Nuo rarely goes to the gym, otherwise he wouldn't be called a "fat man".
Xu Nuo left the office in a hurry, eager to show off his skills.
When he went out, he arranged for his secretary: "I will go to the gym downstairs to play billiards with Mr. Tan. If you need anything, call me."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
After Xu Nuo left, the secretary stood there, recalling the conversation just now, making sure that what he heard was Mr. Tan.
She had never heard of Mr. Tan having the habit of playing billiards.
As soon as Xu Nuo stepped through the door of the gym, many people came over to say hello.
"Hello, Deputy Director Xu!"
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
Xu Nuo has always been straightforward and cheerful. No matter which department he works in, he has friends. When he walks around the company, many people will come over to say hello.
"Old Xu, I haven't seen you exercise in normal times. Why don't you come over to exercise today!" The person who was about to leave was the company executive who had just spoken with Tan Yue.
Anyone who is familiar with Xunuo knows his character and likes to joke with each other.
Xu Nuo pretended to warm up: "The body is the capital of the revolution, how can you keep fit without me!?"
"Yes, yes, if you have this idea, no one will call you Fatty anymore. You are here to see Mr. Tan."
Faced with the ruthless revelation, Xu Nuo smiled awkwardly and held out his thumb: "You are so smart."
"Mr. Tan is right next to the billiard table. Go quickly. I have to go back to process the documents." The company executive left after saying this.
The other fitness equipment in the gym is not attractive to a fat man, so he looks directly for the pool table.
After walking a few steps, Xu Nuo saw Tan Yue's awkward posture. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he almost laughed out loud. He walked to the pool table and said with a smile: "Old Tan, I finally found out that there is something you don't know. ”
After constant attempts, Tan Yue felt that he had made great progress in this moment. He rolled his eyes and said, "There are still many things I don't know, but you didn't pay attention."
"Here, I'll teach you." Xu Nuo said and picked a handy one from the many clubs next to him: "The first step is to find a weapon that is handy."
Then the promised teaching time began. From the posture of playing the ball to the way of holding it, it sounded very professional for someone who had never been exposed to billiards.
More than ten minutes later, Xu Nuo's eyebrows revealed pride: "Master, come in, practice is personal, I have given you the basic things, the rest depends on your own understanding!"
Taking advantage of the gap in conversation, the billiard balls were already placed: "Next, let's start the actual battle. You tee off first."
In terms of theory, Xu Nuo was very eloquent. Tan Yue thought he was so good. Seeing that Xu Nuo failed to make it three times in a row, he couldn't help but said, "Your skills don't seem to be that good either?"
Xu Nuo scratched his forehead in embarrassment and defended, "I haven't hit him in a long time. Let's check the feel first."
After a few rounds, Tan Yue finally understood that Xu Nuo was only better in theory, and that his technique was only slightly better than that of a beginner like himself.
Tan Yue and Xu Nuo played together, which naturally attracted onlookers watching the game on the stage next to them.
"I haven't played for a long time, I'm a bit rusty." Xu Nuo continued to defend himself.
Others burst out laughing.
"I think I won." Tan Yue scored the black eight, and there was no ball on the table.
Before they knew it, the two of them had finished three games.
Xu Nuo didn't want to admit that he actually lost a round to Tan Yue, but that was the fact.
Xu Xu was careless in the last shot and pocketed the white ball, allowing Tan Yue to find a chance.
Tan Yue moved his shoulders and said deliberately: "It turns out that billiards is not difficult."
"I'm afraid that I'll make you lose confidence. If there's no one to play with me in the future, I won't be as reckless as I was today."
Xu Nuo felt a little guilty after saying it, especially when there were other people around.
"Then let's play some other time. Let's go back today. We still have work to do."
The second game was scheduled like this.
After putting the clubs back, the two people walked out of the gym.
After the exercise, Tan Yue felt that the pain in his body was completely gone, and he decided to exercise more in the future.
Xu Nuo suddenly asked: "Why do you suddenly think of playing billiards?"
"I've been sitting in the office for too long, and my back is a little sore. Come down and do some exercise."
"Would you like to have some drinks together tonight? I think wine is the best medicine to relieve all symptoms."
Xu Nuo remembered that it had been a while since she had a drink with Tan Yue. Although she was very happy and enjoyed herself when drinking with Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can, she always felt that something was missing.
Tan Yue shook his head and refused: "I still have a lot of work to do recently, and I really can't spare the time."
Xunuo raised his hand and interrupted: "Stop, you don't need to explain more. Although I am single, I can understand."
Tan Yue was very speechless. He wanted to say that the reason for refusing the promised wine shop before was because of Chen Ziyu, but today he refused entirely because of work.
After finishing the work on the script, it is time to start preparations before shooting, and the subsequent work will be even busier.
Now when I’m tired, I can go for a run or play ball in the company’s gym.
In a while, after the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" and "Infernal Affairs" starts, there may not be any time to rest.
"When I finish this period of work, I will treat you to a drink."
"Okay, I'll wait for your drink. I'll go back to the office first." The elevator came to the floor where the program department was located, and Xu Nuo got off the elevator.
The elevator reaches the president's office on the top floor.
Chen Ye saw Tan Yue coming over and said, "Mr. Tan, there are three documents that need your signature. I put them on your desk."
The document was not in a hurry, and Chen Ye did not go to the gym to find Tan Yue.
At such a close distance, Chen Ye could clearly feel that Tan Yue's mental state was much better now than when he went out.
"I'll take care of it right away." Tan Yue returned to his office.
I put tea leaves in the cup again and sat in front of the computer, feeling that I was in a very good state of mind.
However, after playing three games of billiards, it was still very tiring, and I felt a little tired.
Tan Yue looked through the documents that had been delivered not long ago.
Bright Entertainment Company will submit a large number of documents every day.
Some require signatures, while others reflect the current situation of each department.
Although the directors of each department will review, they also need to report the situation to Tan Yue or Chen Ziyu.
After handling the documents in his hand, Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to send the documents back.
His physical strength has long been restored, and Tan Yue continues to write the script for "Infernal Affairs".
Two days later.
Bright Entertainment Company.
President's office.
Tan Yue was scrolling through his Weibo in the office, and the message area was still filled with netizens tirelessly urging new movies.
"The idea for the new movie should have been completed! The script should be in progress! Shooting should start soon! Can Mr. Tan Yue reveal the status of the new movie?"
“I can’t see Mr. Tan Yue’s new movie in the cinema. I always feel like something is missing.”
"Teacher Tan, come on, I look forward to you breaking your own box office record again, so that we can witness history again."
"This time it's a military movie, but it's still nonsense. The martial arts action movie is also good. Fans don't have any requirements, as long as there are new movies!"
"It's a bit hard without Teacher Tan Yue's new movie. I'm looking forward to the news about your new movie."
The script of "Infernal Affairs" has not yet been released, and Tan Yue has not replied to his fans.
afternoon.
'Dong dong dong'.
"Please come in."
Qian Tao walked into the office with excitement, holding the script of "Nirvana in Fire" in his hand: "Mr. Tan, other work on the script of "Nirvana in Fire" has been completed. Please take a look."
"Okay." Tan Yue took the script and looked at it seriously.
Qian Tao sat on the chair, looking a little nervous.
After returning home, Qian Tao read the script from beginning to end. Like several other screenwriters, the probability of "Nirvana in Fire" being a hit was very high.
Such a high-quality script is what Qian Tao has been looking for.
Once the script is obtained, of course, all preliminary work must be accelerated so that "Nirvana in Fire" can meet the audience as soon as possible.
Therefore, he and several screenwriters have been working overtime to polish the script these days.
"Director Qian, take a look at this place. This place needs to reflect the details of Mei Changsu's facial expression. This shot needs to be longer." Tan Yue pointed to one of the questions.
Qian Tao quickly recorded the problem areas.
In the next two hours, Tan Yue carefully read the script from beginning to end and pointed out several important issues.
"That's all for now. You can discuss it with Director Lin."
"I'm going to do it now."
Qian Tao stood up and left Tan Yue's office. With so many problems pointed out, he didn't complain at all. On the contrary, he was very happy.
The script of "Nirvana in Fire" will be the focus of the TV series department's work in the future, and whether we can produce another phenomenal TV series depends on it.
It’s better to have the problem pointed out now than to be complained about by the audience after it goes online.
All for Bright Entertainment Company to produce better works.
Tan Yue made himself a cup of tea and went to the window to rest. These two hours were more tiring than writing a script.
Qian Tao sent over the polished script, which was more than twice as thick as before, so the workload naturally increased.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, taking a deep breath, my tired mind relaxed a lot.
'Dong dong dong'.
Chen Ye knocked lightly on the door and came in: "Mr. Tan, there are some documents here."
"Um."
After Chen Ye went out, Tan Yue rubbed his temples, stretched his arms and moved his body.
Pick up the water glass on the coffee table and go to the computer to prepare to process files.
The green tea in the cup exuded a strong fragrance. Tan Yue took a deep sip of the tea, chewed a few tea leaves in his mouth, and processed the documents that he was anxious to use.
The office was quiet, and the sound of turning papers could be heard from time to time.
The artist management department has the most documents.
Artists receive invitations from many program groups and some commercial performances every day.
For these programs, Tan Yue usually chooses those with high traffic and popularity to enhance the popularity of the company's artists.
Tan Yue signed his name and let Chen Ye take the document.
"My neck still hurts a little!" Looking down at the document for such a long time put a lot of pressure on my neck and shoulders.
Tan Yue casually picked up the massager and put it on his neck. After a moment, he couldn't help but said: "It's still so comfortable!"
Tan Yue leaned back on the chair, with the top of the chair dragging his head, and rested in this comfortable position for more than ten minutes.
Tan Yue picked up his cell phone and called Xu Nuo.
"Fat man, are you busy now?"
"There is one more document, it will be ready in ten minutes."
"Then I'll go to the gym and wait for you."
"no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Tan Yue took off the massager and went to the gym with a water bottle. When he went out, he happened to meet Chen Ziyu.
Seeing Tan Yue holding a cup in his hand, Chen Ziyu asked doubtfully, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the gym downstairs for a run."
If Tan Yue wants to exercise, Chen Ziyu will definitely support him.
Exercise is second, and the most important thing is to take a rest.
"There are still some documents that need to be processed, so I won't go with you."
Tan Yue responded: "It's okay. I made an appointment with the fat man. With all the fat on his body, he should have lost weight a long time ago."
Chen Ziyu smiled and turned back to the office. After Tan Yue told Chen Ye, he took the elevator to the first floor.
Xu Nuo speeded up and soon arrived at the gym.
"Old Tan, I'm going to teach you a lesson today." Xu Nuo was still unconvinced when he lost to Tan Yue, a newbie, last time, and decided to find his place again. After all, he has been in the billiards world for such a long time.
Tan Yue pointed to the treadmill: "Don't worry, let's run for a while first and treat it as a warm-up."
"This" Xu Nuo refused in her heart. Although she was a little fatter, she had no intention of losing weight.
"You touch the flesh on your belly, it's because the blind date has never been successful."
"Stop." Xu Nuo quickly interrupted: "I'll run with you."
There were other people at the gym, and Xu promised not to let others know about his repeated failed blind dates.
Tan Yue's goal today is still half an hour.
Xu Nuo was out of breath after running for more than ten minutes. He got off the treadmill dripping with sweat and waited for Tan Yue to finish in the rest area.
After the run, the second billiards contest between the two began.
After promising to score the black eight, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched his chest: "I just said that I have to teach you a lesson today. How about I win?"
Tan Yue smiled and said nothing.
After a fierce battle, Tan Yue won two games and Xu Nuo narrowly won three games.
"The gap between the two of us is too big. Lao Tan, just surrender next time."
Xu Nuo said tough words, but actually she was lamenting that Tan Yue's golf skills had improved so obviously.
