Zhang Tan came out of He Miao's office. Jiang Rong and Wu Shiying were waiting.
"Let's have dinner together at noon. Don't worry, I'll treat you." Jiang Rong said.
Zhang Tan: "Why do you have to stress that you are treating me?"
Jiang Rong did not answer him, but smiled at Wu Shiying and said, "Zhang Tan always likes to treat us to pancakes and fruits."
Wu Shiying smiled and said nothing. Jiang Rong and Zhang Tan were close, so they could say such things casually, but she still had to take it into consideration.
Zhang Tan: "Then let me ask you, do you like to eat pancakes and fruits? Last time you asked me when I would bring you two more sets. You have a really good appetite."
Jiang Rong stared at him: "Did I say bring two sets?!"
"I didn't say it, I heard it wrong." Zhang Tan did not argue with her and put the notebook and water-point pen he brought with him on the desk.
"What are you talking about with your leader? You also need to bring a notebook. Your political consciousness is really high," Jiang Rong said.
"Let's talk about it at the dinner table. Let's go. What can we eat? I had a good breakfast. I can't let my level drop too much at lunch."
"Zhang Tan, what did you have for breakfast, honey?"
"Then I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"I'm worried that you are greedy. If you listen, you will definitely pester me to bring it to you tomorrow morning."
"Bah, am I such a person?"
The two were joking while walking. Although Wu Shiying couldn't get in the conversation, she was in a good mood and had a bright smile on her face. After all, Zhang Tan had been praising her because she brought Zhang Tan's breakfast.
The three of them arrived downstairs, and Jiang Rong said to wait for He Chao, he would come down right away.
"How are you doing?" Zhang Tan asked.
"Ah? Who?" Jiang Rong asked doubtfully.
"You and He Chao~" Zhang Tan said, but he did not lower his voice intentionally, which would appear to exclude Wu Shiying and make others feel that he was an outsider.
"You are such a gossip, Zhang Tan. Which one of your eyes has seen that He Chao and I have a special relationship? We are good friends!"
"I really can't see it with either eye."
"Then you talk about loneliness."
"My two ears have heard a lot of rumors."
"Gossips have always lowered people's IQ. Zhang Tan, you have to maintain your independent thinking."
There are indeed some rumors in the company that Jiang Rong and He Chao are in love, because they can always be seen together. Although Zhang Tan asked Jiang Rong jokingly, he actually had some doubts. Now that Jiang Rong
He said no, but he still believed it. He also felt that although the two were close, they were just good friends, and there was no spark of love.
Jiang Rong suddenly winked at Zhang Tan and said, "Zhang Tan, not only am I close to He Chao, but I am also close to you? How come no one spreads the rumor about our scandal?"
This is true, strange to say.
Zhang Tan: "That's because everyone thinks I'm not worthy of you at all."
Jiang Rong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go away~"
He Chao came down quickly, and the four of them walked to a nearby restaurant. While waiting for the meal, Jiang Rong did not forget the previous question: "Zhang Tan, you didn't tell me just now, why is your leader looking for you?"
Zhang Tan muted his phone, put it back in his pocket, and said, "Isn't it normal for the head of the screenwriting department to find me?"
"Then there's no need to bring a small notebook. Zhang Tan, you are a flatterer. Isn't it like on TV, where the leader is speaking on stage and you are immersed in taking notes in the audience, for fear of missing a punctuation mark?"
"Hey, you're right. Not only did I write down the pauses, but I also showed them to the leader after writing them down and asked if there were any omissions."
"You should remember your will!"
"Okay, if you talk to the leader behind his back, be careful and you'll get fucked as soon as you get promoted."
Jiang Rong snorted, knowing that what she said was indeed wrong. Fortunately, everyone here was a good friend. If she accidentally said such words at an ordinary dinner party with colleagues, it might reach the ears of the person concerned in the afternoon. Real workplace competition
Maybe even more bloody than in the TV series.
Zhang Tan said: "The company is launching a new project and is collecting scripts."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people looked at him almost simultaneously, their eyes burning.
"New project? What kind of project?" He Chao asked.
Zhang Tan said it was an anti-war drama, a TV series.
Jiang Rong said: "An anti-war drama, you can't just make it up casually, you have to know some real history. Zhang Tan, can you write this too?"
Screenwriters are not all skilled in martial arts. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. For example, some great writers specialize in writing about cute children, and they will jump on the street when they come up with it.
"It's not decided yet that I will write it. The company has selected three people, and I am one of them. We will compete fairly to see whose book is better."
"Who are the other two people?" Jiang Rong asked with concern.
"Wang Liangcheng and Cao Wen."
"Oh! I've heard of them, they are so awesome." Jiang Rong said, and He Chao nodded.
Wang Liangcheng and Cao Wen are both in their 30s and almost 40s. They are co-screenwriters of the studio. Like Zhang Tan, they signed a cooperation agreement and received commission. Being able to enjoy such treatment shows that their level is very high, and this
Both of them are famous for writing Anti-Japanese War dramas, so they can be said to be in the same line of work.
Wu Shiying didn't understand this and just listened with a smile.
He Chao said: "Cao Wen's last TV series was a hit and got a bad reputation."
Cao Wen's last TV series was an Anti-Japanese War drama. It was a collaboration with other entertainment companies. As He Chao said, it was a hit.
He handed the script to the studio at that time, but the studio was not optimistic about it, so he didn't take it, so he found another company to film it.
Jiang Rong answered: "That's why you have to be more careful. The last drama failed, and this one will definitely be holding back its energy to win back the victory."
The three chatted for a while. Seeing that Wu Shiying couldn't get in the conversation, Zhang Tan changed the subject and brought her in.
When the dishes started to be served, Jiang Rong picked up the tea cup in front of her and said: "Before eating, I gave myself a cup of tea instead of wine, which hindered everyone. Look, Zhang Tan will not say it, he is simply not a human being, He Chao,
I have been working alone outside for a long time. Whose child has not seen "Unlucky Bear" now?! All the children in Little Red Horse Academy have seen it, right? Have you seen it? Right, look at you, you have all left me out of sight, but okay
Now, with the support of Boss Zhang, I finally caught up a little bit."
…
Zhang Tan stayed in the office in the afternoon and carefully studied the new project introduction sent by He Miao. He was particularly interested in one of the requirements. What the company wanted was an anti-war drama with a main theme and a relatively realistic character!
In other words, this script cannot be made up, you can write it however you want. Although it does not require that it must be a real person, it must at least be able to find similar experiences to the protagonist in history.
After Zhang Tan thought about it for a moment, he understood why the company specifically wrote such a clause. It was mainly because most of the anti-war dramas on the market today were divorced from reality. Although they were not as shocking as the anti-Japanese dramas that Zhang Tan had watched in his previous life, they were still
They are running quickly in that direction.
There are more and more anti-war dramas that are deviating from history, and the resentment they arouse is getting stronger and stronger. For example, Zhang Tan wrote "Eight Hundred" a while ago. What investors wanted at that time was an anti-war drama, "Eight Hundred"
It was far from meeting his requirements, so the negotiation finally broke down.
Zhang Tan pondered for a long time in the office. When he got off work, he took the elevator and unexpectedly met Cao Wen, who was riding in the same elevator. He smiled at him and nodded. There were many people in the elevator, so he didn't say hello.
After getting out of the elevator, Cao Wen watched him go away in surprise and asked the people around him: "Who is this person? He seems to know me?"
Cao Wen has been absent from the company for a long time, busy with his blockbuster work and working with the team. He only occasionally came to the company recently.
He is a co-screenwriter, so he doesn't need to check in at the company every year. He can come whenever he has something to do and feel free to do whatever he wants.
Zhang Tan has only been in this industry for less than a year. He is modest and cautious. During the time when there are no projects, he is like a white-collar worker, clocking in and going to get off work on time every day.
The staff around him were a little surprised when they heard this and said, "This is Teacher Zhang Tan."
Cao Wen exclaimed and was surprised. It turned out that this was Zhang Tan. He was really young and very polite. He had not met him before, otherwise he should have responded to his words just now. Then he thought again, this time he vowed to win the new
Project, it seems that among the three competitors, there is Zhang Tan!
