The next day, He Tianran drove the leaky car to the repair shop to have the windows replaced. By the time he finished everything and arrived at the company, it was already close to noon.
The employees in the company were very lively today. It was lunch break. Most of them gathered together to eat and chat. It is estimated that the team building thing last night had spread. He Tianran heard a lot of travel plans along the way. .
When he arrived at the office, He Tianran first flattened his seat, then took advantage of his free time to lie down and squint for a while, until he was woken up by a knock on the door an hour later, and Yao Qingtao walked in.
"When I saw you didn't come this morning, I thought... oh, you have heavy dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well? Didn't I see you drinking in good shape yesterday?" The second-in-command in the company said to the young boss when he saw it. With two dark circles under his eyes, he woke up leisurely with a tired look on his face and joked.
"I just slept late. Didn't I take you home after drinking yesterday? You vomited in my car. It was all smelly. I went to wash the car this morning. Don't you remember?" He Tianran said seriously.
"Ah? Really? I'm all broken..."
"Of course it's true. The money for my car wash will be deducted from your salary. Next time you drink, remember to bring Yuhui with you. I won't give it to you."
"No, it's not like he and I are on the same page, so I'll deduct the money for the car wash, but you have to help me deliver it to my place. I'm just a young girl, so I'll just work for you. Who should I go to if something happens? ." He Tianran held up the backrest of the chair, and said with a very pretentious and reluctant expression: "Hey, okay... Who are you calling me a gentleman... Hey~" After saying that, he couldn't hold it in and laughed. There was a sound.
Yao Qingtao said suspiciously: "Hey... you wouldn't lie to me while I was broken, right?" He Tianran asked back: "Do you remember how you got home yesterday?"
"I just remember getting into your car..." The sinister man threw the car keys on the table.
"The car is parked downstairs. If you don't believe it, just open the door and smell it yourself. It still smells." Yao Qingtao looked disgusted when he heard this.
"Oh - forget it, oh, just deduct it. The car wash money is mine. Don't talk about it. Let's get down to business. Let's do it one by one. First, Penguin asked us about the male protagonist's intention today. You don't need their help to introduce you, just give it a push." He Tianran leaned forward, folded his hands on the desk, and rejected it in one sentence: "No, it's impossible for both the male and female protagonists to use their people. , we also invested money, why can’t I use someone I think is suitable if they are the only one?" Yao Qingtao moved a chair and sat across from him.
"Yes, yes, I roughly guessed what you were going to say, but you have to think about it. You have to find an actor of the same level as Gu Qiaoman. You have to find it like you did last time in "A Thousand Knots of Hearts" A newcomer will play against Gu Qiaoman, and Penguin will definitely not do it."
"Understood." Today's film and television dramas, especially this kind of popular idol dramas, pay attention to the equality of resources. What kind of celebrity is what kind of role. You have to find a new person, no matter how suitable, even if It came out of the script. If you want to be the protagonist, you can't do it. Unless you fully finance this drama, you can do whatever you want and it's all up to you. For a drama with the investment scale of "The Wild Heart", I want to find it. It is almost impossible for newcomers to support the show.
Yao Qingtao said worriedly: "Oh, the remuneration for Gu Qiaoman's own film should be negotiable, but the actor's remuneration may be a big one." He Tianran thought about it and said: "Let's talk, Shanhai Group and There are probably not many companies that would not be interested in Penguin's drama. You can start to promote this later. Ask outside agencies if there are any artists of the same level who have schedules... Let me think about it, now It's early September, we're almost in late November, and the filming phase will be March next year. You can use this time to find male artists who are available. We still have to discuss the specific time with Penguin, but if everything goes well It should be pretty good, let’s find it first.”
"What about the other actors?" He Tianran said methodically: "You don't have to worry about this. When Yuhui gets to work, let him lead the directors and screenwriters downstairs to sort out all the characters, costumes, and scenes that the actors will try out. , let them do this, and I can’t leave you to do everything. The surfing line is also busy now, and there are no movies to shoot for the time being. They have to start the next big project, anyway. This month we have to decide on the main actors." Yao Qingtao nodded: "Okay, now is the second thing. When you had the script meeting yesterday, did Teacher A Liu recommend anyone to you? Huh?" He Tianran was startled: "Hey, I forgot to tell you, why, Teacher A Liu is not doing the main business, but he is very active in pushing the work. Is the person here?"
"Here we go, we're waiting downstairs."
"Okay, just call him up."
"Well." Yao Qingtao stood up, hesitated for a while, and finally grabbed the car keys on He Tianran's table and said, "No, I still have to go and smell it. You are a very sinister person. I'm afraid you will blackmail me." Me!" He Tianran was so happy when he saw it.
It seems that he is a worthy boss, and he has no credibility at all... Soon after Yao Qingtao walked out, the knock on the door rang again.
"Come in." A man with a mustache on his chin, flat-rimmed glasses, and a parted hair, who looked like he had experienced vicissitudes of life and was a literary man, pushed open the door and entered.
He Tianran picked up the empty teapot on the table and stood up: "Mr. Hu, right? Please sit down."
"It's me, it's me. Ah Liu has already introduced me, right?" The man walked slowly to the place where Yao Qingtao had been sitting, took off the backpack behind him and hung it on the back of the chair, sitting down in no hurry.
He Tianran walked to the water dispenser nearby, filled the teapot with water, came back, plugged in the electricity and started boiling water.
"Well, I introduced you, my name is Hu..."
"Hu Yue, Gu Yue Hu, Shan Shan Yue, Director He should meet a lot of people in normal times, but I have admired your name for a long time. In the past two years, I have always heard people mention you when I went back to school. Last year you filmed " I also followed "Thousand Knots in the Heart" and the adaptation was very successful." He Tianran was very embarrassed. He remembered the name Hu Yue and just paused for a moment to confirm. Unexpectedly, the other party answered the call very quickly...
"No, no, senior, please sit down. Are you going back to school now? Visiting the teacher? Or do you have any other work?" He Tianran reached out and gestured to the chair, and then the two of them sat down.
"No, it's mainly about collecting scenery." He Tianran, who was taking out tea leaves from the cabinet, was stunned when he heard this. This answer is really unique.
Collection? What kind of style? The Film Academy is a place as big as your palm, and it looks too small even when walking around. How can you enjoy it?
"Ah...senior is still elegant..." Hu Yue waved his hand.
"It has nothing to do with this. The main thing is that I live near the university town. I like to go back to school when I have nothing to do."
"..." Well, He Tianran could understand what the other party said.
"By the way, senior, which class are you in? I'm currently in the third year of graduate school. I'll go back to school in two days. Maybe we can go out for a meal. I know there is a private restaurant in the university town. It tastes very good. Not bad." He Tianran was close, but there was always a trace of weirdness on Hu Yue's face. He hesitated, took out a pack of Xuanhemen, shook it, handed one over, and held one in his hand. .
After He Tianran took it, he picked up the lighter on the table and lit it for the other party. Hu Yue exhaled a puff of smoke and said vicissitudes of life: "Director He, you don't need to call me senior. I have only graduated from undergraduate degree for almost three years and almost four years. I studied a year earlier than others. I am only 24 now. Maybe I can still I'm younger than you. You are a graduate student and I am an undergraduate. Logically speaking, I should call you senior..."
"..." Damn... He Tianran was speechless again. The cigarette in his mouth was lit and he didn't take a sip.
You said you were 24, why did you grow that coquettish mustache? You put yourself through so many vicissitudes, and you were just pretending. If you didn’t tell me, I would have thought you were 34!
