"Zhang, tell me the truth, how many percent of these opinions proposed by Anthony can you accept?"
Seeing that Zhang Tan hadn't even read the script revision suggestions proposed by Anthony, Smith knew that Zhang Tan must be angry, so he didn't say anything more and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.
Zhang Tan said: "To be honest, I don't want to accept it."
Smith smiled bitterly, "Zhang, Anthony has great box office appeal overseas and is a rising star in recent years. When we found him to star in "The Matrix", it was a powerful alliance that was only good for the project. I believe in our vision, he is still
If he doesn't sign with us, we may part ways at any time, so we must keep him."
Zhang Tan asked: "Are there no other candidates?"
Smith: "Yes, there are, but other candidates are not the first choice."
Zhang Tan thought for a while and didn't want to get too awkward with people like Smith. It was the first time for both parties to cooperate, so they had to sell some face, so he said: "The content related to the main line of the story cannot be changed. Other content can be changed as appropriate." He proposed
I don’t have time to read these opinions one by one. I will let the company’s screenwriters review them and I will reply to you tomorrow, but the principle is the principle I just mentioned, and this cannot be changed.”
Smith said: "Okay, okay, don't worry, we won't agree to changes that involve the main storyline. Most of what Anthony proposed are non-mainline content, so don't worry."
He was in a good mood. Before he came, he was worried that Zhang Tan would not give in, but he didn't expect that Zhang Tan was still very talkative. Now he could reply to Anthony.
After sitting for a while and finishing the tea in the cup, Smith left.
Zhang Tan called the writing team, and the first thing that came to his mind was Xu Shufei's phone number, because his internal phone number is the easiest to remember, three 6s.
The phone rang…
Xu Shufei on the other end just walked out of the office and heard a phone ringing in his ears, but he didn't pay attention and went to the bathroom first.
When the call didn't go through, Zhang Tan dialed Jiang Rong's number, and Jiang Rong answered immediately.
"Who else is here? Come to my office together."
Jiang Rong: "I was just going to sit in your office. Zhang Ling and I are here now. Lao Xu just moved around and I don't know where he went. How about we two come over?"
"good."
After a while, Jiang Rong and Zhang Ling took the elevator and arrived at the floor where Zhang Tan was.
Zhang Tan handed them the movie script revised by Anthony and explained the whole story.
"Look at what is acceptable and what is not acceptable."
"Oh, it's "The Matrix", let me take a look."
When Jiang Rong saw the script, she was delighted. This was a big project and she had always wanted to participate, but Zhang Tan never made any move.
"Boss, how is this project going now? When can it be started?"
"It's still early, the lead actor and director haven't been decided yet."
Zhang Tan poured them two cups of tea.
Jiang Rong's heart moved and she asked: "Has the screenwriter been decided yet?"
Zhang Tan looked up at her and said, "...No."
"oh."
"Do you have any projects on hand right now?"
Jiang Rong and Zhang Ling were both overjoyed.
"No, boss."
"Unemployed."
"Are you interested in participating in the "The Matrix" project? This is a Sino-foreign joint venture, and you have to deal with foreigners. The leading actors are all foreigners, which will test your communication skills. How is your English?"
"Wai Rui Good~" Jiang Rong said confidently, her English was indeed good and Zhang Tan understood.
As for Zhang Ling, Zhang Tan is not sure.
Zhang Ling felt a little unsure and said, "I passed CET-6 in college."
Zhang Tan: "You must be able to speak."
Zhang Ling said calmly: "I just don't speak much, so when I communicate with others, I may not be that fluent."
Jiang Rong said: "That's okay. Speaking is all about talking more. Once you join the crew, you will have many opportunities, and things will get better naturally. Besides, I'm still here, right?"
Zhang Ling glanced at Jiang Rong gratefully.
Zhang Tan: "Okay, then just you two, get familiar with the script first and give me an opinion tomorrow morning."
Jiang Rong: "No need tomorrow morning, tonight at the latest."
She and Zhang Ling took the script and left. As soon as they returned to their office, Xu Shufei walked towards them.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Shufei asked casually.
"Hey! It's nothing, just a script, which the boss just gave me." Jiang Rong said with a smile.
Xu Shufei stopped and leaned over to read: "What script?"
Zhang Ling said: "It's The Matrix."
Xu Shufei: "!...Where did it come from?"
Jiang Rong glanced at him: "Didn't you just say it? The boss gave it to me!"
Xu Shufei: "!!...This project is about to start?"
Jiang Rong: "Hahaha, it's coming soon."
Xu Shufei: "!!!... What are you doing?"
Zhang Ling: "The script needs to be revised."
Xu Shufei: "Let me take a look."
Zhang Ling: "The boss said we should pay attention to confidentiality."
Xu Shufei: "...and you?"
Zhang Ling: "We have just officially joined this project and are the screenwriters of the crew."
Xu Shufei: "!!!"
He returned to his office and saw a missed call from Zhang Tan displayed on his phone. He felt happy and quickly dialed back.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Is it a "Matrix" project?
"Oh, okay, okay, bye."
Xu Shufei hung up the phone in a low mood, feeling that he had missed 100 million!
He just went to the bathroom and left a few seconds early!!!
Originally, this opportunity was his!

"Hmm~"
"Oh~"
"Yeah~"
"Red Panda~"
…
In the evening, at home.
Children have begun to arrive in the academy downstairs. Teacher Jiang is making dinner and Zhang Tan is helping to cut vegetables.
Xiaobai and Xi'er, Xiaobai was watching cartoons in the living room, and Yang Yi made a video call. Xiaobai chatted absentmindedly with his mother, but his eyes were fixed on the TV most of the time.
It is now half past five in the evening. It gets dark early in winter, and all the street lights have been turned on.
Tan Jin'er hadn't gotten off work yet, and Xi'er was a little uncomfortable with her sister suddenly going to work. She glanced out the window from time to time, as if she could see her sister from here.
Yang Yi and Bai Zhiqiang have already arrived home. They set off at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already after five o'clock when they flew to Qicheng and landed. After spending some time on the road, they arrived home just now.
Yang Yi was thinking about her daughter, so she called the baby as soon as possible, but it seemed that the baby didn't miss her parents very much. She was absent-minded in chatting and focused on cartoons.
Yang Yi held her mobile phone and while chatting with Xiaobai, she went to the balcony to put away the clothes that had been dried before the holiday. A big panda doll was hung on the balcony, dangling.
Xiao Xiaobai saw it at a glance, finally concentrated her attention, and asked her mother to help her take care of the giant panda.
This is Xiao Xiaobai's favorite doll. She hugs it every night when she sleeps, so it is naturally stained with a lot of saliva. Before the Chinese New Year, Yang Yi washed the giant panda doll and it was dirty.
"Okay, mom is going to cook. Have you had dinner?" Yang Yi asked.
Xiao Xiaobai excitedly pointed to the kitchen and mumbled something to the effect that grandma and uncle were cooking and watching cartoons.
"Okay, hang up then, bye."
"Bye~"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiaobai looked at the phone curiously, poking and clicking on the screen. Then, the phone was immediately taken away by her aunt.
This is her old man's mobile phone. He has already borrowed it. How can he not play enough with it?
Xiaobai dialed Xiaomi's video call and chatted with Xiaomi.
Xiao Xiaobai was envious. She also wanted to have a best friend who could make phone calls, so after Xiao Bai and Xiaomi finished the phone call, she immediately applied for a mobile phone and said she wanted to call Bai Guagua to find out what the village chief was doing.
