654. Do you still want to eat, an eighth-rank petty official? (1/2)
Zhang Tan and Xiaobai returned to the mall, and it was still the same store. Xiaobai specified the same style as her red one, and the one she bought for Xier was one size smaller, also in red.
"Are you sure you want the red one for Xi'er?" Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai uncertainly.
Xiaobai nodded firmly and said that she was Xier's little sister.
Well, Zhang Tan bought Xi'er a small red dress.
"If you go out wearing these clothes together, others will definitely think you are little sisters."
Xiaobai was laughing and joking, taking the initiative to carry the packaging bag and wandering around. He was already looking forward to the bright future of accepting Xi'er as his little brother.
The two came to the set of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". Xiaobai was no stranger to this place. After all, he was also a young actor here and had a certain reputation.
No, as soon as she arrived, someone greeted her.
"Teacher Zhang is here, and so is Teacher Zhang's little boy~~"
Xiaobai stared at the man who said hello and left, and asked Zhang Tan uncertainly, "What? What did this man say?"
How come she belongs to Boss Zhang’s family? She’s not a kitten, puppy or piglet, she doesn’t belong to anyone else!
Boss Zhang is obviously from her family!
"Xiaobai, do you want to film today?"
"Xiaobai, you are getting cuter and cuter."
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, and how are you, Xiaobai."
…
Xiaobai imitated Zhang Tan's behavior, clasping his hands behind his back, nodding his head as he walked, saying "I'll be nice to you."
In short, Xiaobai is not an outsider in this crew. In addition to others taking the initiative to say hello to her, she was also very lively today. She chatted with everyone she knew and didn't know, especially when she saw Yuan Zai, who had acted opposite her.
"What's going on? Young Master, you're the eighth-rank official, why are you so angry?"
The actor who played Yuan Zai was eating. He came late in the morning and had been filming. He finally took some time to rest and ate something to fill his stomach. Then Xiaobai saw him and asked where he was.
He was stunned and put down the butter bread in his hand. What's going on? An eighth-grade official doesn't deserve to eat? Isn't this too cruel?
"Would you like some?" he said, taking the initiative to hand the other butter bun to Xiaobai, but then took it back and said, "I can't give it to you, I almost forgot, you are already very fat, fat
How can you still eat it when it’s turned into a ball? I can’t afford to feed you, sir.”
He and Xiaobai have been acting for a few days and have become familiar with each other. They talk very close to each other and each one is more sarcastic than the other.
After all, Xiaobai is a child, and he is no match for the veteran showbiz. He was said to be a fat little girl, and he became very angry and muttered.
"I'm so skinny! I'm not a porridge."
"Hahaha, thin, thin, thin, you are so thin."
Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai to stay here and play while he called.
"Which one?"
"Is this Teacher Zhang? Hello, Teacher Zhang, I am Ding Yan, the director of Yimei Entertainment Company. I have something to do with you..."
Zhang Tan was surprised and interrupted: "Wait, I'm sorry, which company did you say you are from?"
"Yimei Entertainment Company."
"Oh, keep talking."
"It's like this. We have a project that we would like to ask Mr. Zhang to participate in the screenwriting. I wonder if you are interested?"
"What project? Please tell me roughly."
From the other party's simple description, Zhang Tan roughly knew that this was an official TV series!
There are quite a few TV dramas like this, I should say very few, because of the severe constraints of the real-world environment, almost no company is willing to shoot such TV series, and more than 90% of them will be difficult to broadcast, and will be eliminated from the source.
But Yimei Entertainment really wanted to make such a TV series this time. Ding Yan didn't say it clearly, but Zhang Tan could tell that this project should come from a government department, such as the Propaganda Department!
What Yimei Entertainment meant was to ask Zhang Tan to join them and then participate in the bidding together.
Haven't gotten it yet.
hehe.
Zhang Tan hung up the phone, and the producer of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" happened to be at the scene, so he went to ask him.
"It seems like this is true. I've heard of it, but I don't know the details. Are you interested? I can ask."
"Okay, you can help me ask."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The other party called immediately and soon told Zhang Tan that the studio had indeed received an invitation to bid for the project, but had not yet decided whether to participate.
The current head of the screenwriting department of Pujiang Film Studio's film and television division is called Chen Bin. The former He Miao changed positions and went to work in logistics.
When Zhang Tan asked about this project, he happened to be discussing whether to participate or not.
Official dramas are very rare, and the policy restrictions are too serious. Whether it can be broadcast after production is one thing. Even if it can be broadcast, whether it will be broadcast in full is another matter. It is too normal to be cut a few times.
If you don't look the same, others don't care. It's you who gets scolded.
Moreover, Chen Bin and others discussed it over and over, and found that there were very few screenwriters who could write this kind of script, and few people had this kind of experience. The scale was too difficult to determine.
Urban dramas, workplace dramas, war dramas, this kind of TV dramas are mainstream, and a large number of people in the studio can write them, but official dramas?
Chen Bin looked around at the several senior screenwriters in the conference room, but none of them had ever written. They were just naive in this area, and they really didn't dare to say that they could write easily. Who would be responsible for the losses?
"Forget it, although it is a good opportunity and it is a project led by the Pujiang Municipal Government, it is too difficult, the risk is too great, and there are too many unpredictable factors."
When Chen Bin heard this, he was a little unwilling. Since he took office, he has not made any outstanding achievements. This Pujiang Municipal Government project is a good opportunity, but no one can do it.
After the meeting ended, someone stayed at the end and said to Chen Bin: "Minister, if you really want to do it and there is no one else, I will make a suggestion for you to listen to."
Chen Bin put down his tea cup: "You say."
"No one in our factory can write this kind of script, so we can look for it outside. There are so many talents, there is always someone who can write it."
"Just tell me where to find it."
"How about asking Zhang Tan?"
"Zhang Tan??"
Chen Bin suddenly thought of this person and had really forgotten about him.
He was originally a middle-level employee in the Animation Division. Later, after He Miao left, the company transferred him to the Film and Television Division. Although he and Zhang Tan had no interaction, they knew each other and were acquainted. They had met a week ago.
At the premiere of "Coco", he was invited to attend and had a few words with Zhang Tan.
However, he immediately thought that although Zhang Tan was a good screenwriter, he had never heard of him writing official dramas.
He may not be able to write either.
But it's always okay to ask.
"okay, I get it."
Chen Bin returned to the office, thought for a while, and dialed Zhang Tan's number. He didn't have high hopes, but unexpectedly he hit it off with Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan said he would give him three days to prepare the script.
"It's really good." Chen Bin was stunned after hanging up the phone, and then he laughed. If this thing can be done, he can kill two birds with one stone. He has not only launched a project, but also won Zhang Tan back.
On the other side, Zhang Tan hung up the phone and searched for a suitable script.
Although Yimei Entertainment first approached him about this project, how could he possibly cooperate with them?
Jiang Ping suffered big losses in this company.
Not for Jiang Ping, but for Xiaobai and Teacher Jiang, Zhang Tan would have to settle accounts with each other sooner or later.
