554、It's worth it
Zhang Tan has been to the crew of "Luxing" before, but only twice, he became familiar with the starring actors. The celebration banquet was held in a five-star hotel, and there were more than 20 people. Except for the starring actors, most of them did not know each other.
"Come on, I'll introduce you. This is Teacher Zhang Tan." Huo Xuyong introduced you with a smile.
Everyone at the scene looked at Zhang Tan and greeted him, and the title of "Teacher Zhang" was endless.
Zhang Tan glanced at him and suddenly saw Su Lan sitting here, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing this, Huo Xuyong took the initiative to introduce: "Xiao Su is also the screenwriter of "The Hidden", so of course he has to invite him this time. You are familiar with him and you can talk more about it. However, when you are having a meal, don't sit together, come here."
He pulled Zhang Tan to the main table and asked him to sit at his seat next to him. Zhang Tan quickly refused. He could not sit at this position, but at the director or producer.
Huo Xuyong was the boss at the scene. Although he was not a director, the director had to listen to him, so he sat in the main seat. The position on the left should be the second, producer, or director at the scene. It was no longer the screenwriter's turn.
Huo Xuyong smiled and said, "Today we are a celebration banquet. No matter whether we are senior or not, we sit casually. Zhang Tan, this is our first time having dinner, we are closer and bringing us closer at the same time, don't worry, sit down."
The directors and producers on the side also asked Zhang Tan to sit there. They had already arranged the seats and just empty this one, waiting for Zhang Tan.
Zhang Tan had no choice but to follow the guests.
The banquet finally ended while drinking and chatting.
Zhang Tan talked to Su Lan at this time, and Su Lan smiled and said, "I didn't expect me to come, right?"
Her face was a little red and she drank a bottle of beer during that time.
Zhang sighed: "I really didn't expect it."
Su Lan: "I'm quite thick-skinned. After getting the name of the screenwriter, Mr. Huo invited me, so I came with shamelessness."
Zhang sighed: "Don't say that, this script has a lot of your creativity, and your screenwriter deserves its reputation."
Su Lan smiled and paused for a while and asked, "How are you doing recently? Are you preparing for a new drama?"
"It's time to rest," Zhang Tan said, "The new drama is not urgent."
"I really need to rest."
"And you?"
"I'm resting, and I haven't taken on projects yet."
At this time, the director came over, "Teacher Zhang, I'll take you back to the hotel."
He is very grateful to Zhang Tan. With the drama "Luxing", he is proud and becomes famous in the industry. It is the time to be proud.
"I won't bother you anymore, I'll just take a taxi back by myself."
"That's not OK. Let's go, I'll give you it. I'm going to have something to say to you."
At this time, Su Lan suddenly laughed and said, "Do not be anxious, it's not too late now, don't rush back to the hotel, I'll invite you to have tea."
The director is also a good person. When he heard this, he immediately knew that he should leave on his own initiative and handed Zhang Tan to Su Lan.
After he left, Zhang sighed and asked Su Lan: "I remember you don't drink tea?"
Su Lan smiled and left first, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back, drinking tea is just an excuse."
Zhang Tan followed, the two got into the car, and Su Lan asked, "Which hotel do you stay in?"
"I won't stay in a hotel tonight, so you can take me to the Peking Film Academy."
Su Lan looked at him in surprise: "You go to the college? Do you want to go and have a look?"
She started the car and left.
Zhang sighed: "I have a house there, I live there tonight and I will sell it in a few days."
Su Lan said softly, didn't say anything, and drove all the way downstairs, "Do you live here?"
This residential building has few lights and few people live in it. The trees are tall and dense, making it look gloomy.
"I'll live here, you go back and be careful on the way."
"oh."
Zhang Tan opened the door and got out of the car, waved at her, and when he was about to enter the corridor, Su Lan poked his head and asked, "I never knew you had a home here, wouldn't you invite me to go up and take a look?"
Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment, hesitated a little, but nodded.
...
Zhang Tan wanted to stay in Peking to deal with the house. On the third day, he suddenly received a call from Huo Xuyong, saying that there were many negative news about "Luxing" on the Internet.
"Are you in the company? I'm here now."
Zhang Tan took a taxi to Zhongxuan Company. Huo Xuyong's secretary answered him and said that Huo Xuyong was presided over the meeting and had already explained it. When he arrived, he invited him directly into the conference room.
Not only were Huo Xuyong in the conference room, but also Director Liu and others were there, and there were also many strangers, all of whom were the heads of relevant departments of the company.
Zhang Tan found a seat and sat down to listen to Huo Xuyong's meeting. The theme of the meeting was the negative news this time.
"Luxing" is Zhongxuan's first shot to make the film and television brand. The company attaches great importance to it. The situation is so good now that there is no need to make any mistakes.
As an outsider, Zhang Tan only listens and doesn’t talk about such a meeting.
"…There are signs that this time the matter was organized, from the detonation of the incident, to the fermentation, publicity, and spreading out of the circle, with clear structure and clear steps, and it must be organized and man-made."
Zhang Tan was stunned and looked at the person talking. He just introduced that this person was the Minister of the Propaganda Department.
"Are you sure?" Huo Xuyong asked with a serious expression.
"Our people and a self-media person are classmates. What we learned from him is a chat record of him and the people behind him."
"Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know yet. The man refused to say more, saying that he couldn't stab him in the back after collecting the money. Moreover, he probably didn't know much, and the people he contacted were just outside."
"No matter what, this is a clue. You have to dig it down with all your strength. This is a red-eye disease that actually caused Zhongxuan."
...
The meeting started all morning, and after the end, Huo Xu kept Zhang Tan for dinner at the company.
"No, I've made an appointment. I'll invite you to have dinner together tomorrow." Zhang Tan said.
"It's okay, there's no problem with eating, and you don't have to worry about this, I'll settle it."
After Zhang Tan left the company, he came to Su Lan's home, and Yang Zhu opened the door.
"Teacher Zhang, you are finally here. Sister Su Su has already prepared lunch and is waiting for you."
Yang Zhu smiled. She did not see Zhang Tan for a long time, and she thought Sister Su Su and Teacher Zhang had finished playing.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a while, you have become white and beautiful."
"Ah? Haha, is there any? It's a little bit."
His face was a little round, and Zhang Tan said that it would not be good to deal with others, after all, it would be useful again in the future.
"Hold it." Zhang Tan handed her an exquisite little box, went into the house, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen, followed by Yang Zhu, and shouted to Su Lan who was busy in the kitchen from afar: "Sister Su Su, Teacher Zhang is here, and I have brought you a gift."
