The setting sun hung in the sky, dyeing half of the sky red, the air was dry, the cicadas chirped feebly, and the season had entered late autumn.
Zhang Tan came back from Huangjia Village. No other children had arrived at Little Red Horse yet, but the teachers had already arrived and were organizing the classroom in preparation for welcoming the children.
Zhang Tan didn't see Xiaobai and Xi'er in the yard, and he didn't see them at home either.
He washed his hands, went out, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of Teacher Jiang's house.
The door of the room was not closed, but open, and the smell of food was wafting inside. Xiaobai and Xi'er were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the TV was on, playing cartoons.
Zhang Tan didn't check whether the cartoon was "Dora the Adventures" or "Cardcaptor Sakura" because he noticed that Xi'er's eyes were red and she looked like she had just cried.
Xiaobai was comforting her, holding her little shoulders.
Xi'er pouted slightly, looking aggrieved.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Zhang Tan walked over and asked.
Xi'er looked up at him, snorted weakly from her nose, and turned her head away from him.
That small-looking, proper little girl was angry.
“e=(′o`*)))Oh, I don’t even know how to yell at you.”
Xiaobai sighed towards Zhang and shook his head, as if there was nothing he could do about it. Zhang Tan was speechless for a while. Who is the parent here? Why did he become a naughty and troublemaker?
Zhang Tan immediately understood that Xiba's crying had something to do with him? Because he just said he liked her in the car and getting married were two different things.
He sat down, took a tangerine from the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled it off, and gave it to Xiaobai in half.
"No~" Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan patted Xi'er's little shoulder. When Xi'er turned around, Zhang Tan handed the orange to her and said, "It's so sweet. Xi'er has a taste."
Xi'er pouted and wanted to ignore him, but her personality prevented her from ignoring others, especially when this person took the initiative to show his kindness.
She took the orange with her little hand, still looking aggrieved.
Zhang Tan said: "You are my goddaughter and I am your godfather. We will never be separated."
Xi'er blinked her big, clear eyes and looked at Zhang Tan helplessly, saying nothing.
At this time Xiaobai spoke.
"Yes, Xiwawa, we will never be separated, and your sister, we will always be together."
Xi'er thought for a while, hummed slightly, nodded, and then asked uncertainly: "Are we really together forever?"
Xiaobai: "Really, we will never separate."
After saying that, she stretched out her hands and held Xi'er in her arms.
Xi'er arched her little head, and immediately hugged her back, laughing.
Zhang Tan felt relieved, got up and went to the kitchen to help Teacher Jiang cook dinner.
But just as he rolled up his sleeves to wash the eggplants, the phone in his trouser pocket rang. He wiped his hands, took out his phone and saw that the caller was Li Xiaoxiao.
I wanted to leave it alone, but Teacher Jiang said, "Zhang Tan, please answer the phone. I'll just come here."
"Then I'll take it first, and it'll be ready soon."
Zhang Tan left the kitchen and came to the living room. He glanced at Xiaobai and Xi'er who were sitting side by side on the sofa watching cartoons. In order not to disturb them watching cartoons, he chose to go out and went to the corridor to answer Li Xiaobai's call.
A phone call from Xiao.
A few minutes later, he finished the phone call, returned to the kitchen, and continued to help Teacher Jiang.
While cooking, Teacher Jiang chatted with him and asked if he had been busy at work recently.
In recent days, Zhang Tan rarely went to the company every day, and did not go home for lunch until the evening, when he went directly to school to pick up Xiaobai and Xi'er from school, and then returned to Little Red Horse.
Therefore, Teacher Jiang could not see Zhang Tan during the day.
"A bit, I'm currently talking about a movie project, so I'm quite busy, but it was finalized yesterday, so I won't be so busy in the future," Zhang Tan said.
After hearing this, Teacher Jiang didn't have any more ripples about the film project in his heart. After all, Zhang Tan was engaged in film work, so it was normal to discuss the project.
On the contrary, what Zhang Tan said, "You won't be so busy in the future." She thought to herself, in fact, you are not very busy these days. You are just busy compared to your previous work status. If compared with the average person, then
It's quite loose.
As for it won't be so busy in the future, that means it will be more leisurely.
Of course Teacher Jiang did not say these words.
She asked casually and with concern about the movie project they were talking about.
Zhang Tan then told her in detail.
Teacher Jiang was actually not very interested in these and didn't understand much, but Zhang Tan seemed very interested, so she listened patiently to him.
The project Zhang Tan is talking about is actually "The Matrix".
Singapore's industrial special effects company has confirmed its stake, thus forming a three-party stakeholding. Zhang Tan holds 49% of the shares, Art Life holds 26%, and Industrial Jack Special Effects holds 25%.
The producer of "The Matrix" was officially confirmed, and Zhang Tan asked Li Xiaoxiao's law firm to help him handle all aspects of the contract.
This project must have happened yesterday, but the news has already spread, and industry insiders with channels have already begun to take action, hoping to win one or two roles from it.
This is not only Zhang Tan's film project, but also cooperation with overseas countries. The target market is not limited to the domestic market, but also aims at the world.
So for the actors, this is a good opportunity to increase their popularity and go global.
No wonder these people flocked to him and established relationships with Zhang Tan through various channels.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang Tan looked at his phone and received several text messages from unknown phone numbers. The content was nothing more than wishes and auditions.
The children all went out and played in the yard.
After the meal, they were allowed to move freely for a period of time. There were constant sounds of playing in the yard. Xiaobai and Xi'er were playing football again. There were several boys with them, and everyone was chasing after them like a swarm.
The ball is running around.
Zhang Tan sat on the balcony, poured himself a glass of water, and answered Zhang Tongshun's call.
"Zhang Tan, what's going on? So many people came up to me and said they wanted to see you. It's so annoying. It was so noisy that I couldn't calm down while filming." Zhang Tongshun complained.
He doesn't know about Zhang Tan's new project yet. These days, he has been focusing entirely on the filming of "The Pursuit of Happiness" and is slow to learn about the outside world.
Zhang Tan said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to reply to these messages. Just say you don't know."
Zhang Tongshun said yes and immediately became curious about what was going on.
"A new project has just been decided." Zhang Tan said simply.
Zhang Tongshun over there immediately became excited, his voice became excited, and he asked: "Movie project? What kind of one?"
Zhang Tan said: "It's a movie project, a science fiction film..."
After briefly telling Zhang Tongshun about the "Matrix" project, Zhang Tongshun became excited and kept asking about the details. He seemed to be very interested in the project.
But he also knew that it was impossible for him to participate. First of all, he didn't have time.
