He stayed in the reception room for an entire afternoon, and no one came in. Tang An seemed to have been forgotten.
Slowly, Tang An began to have an ominous premonition.
The number on the watch gradually came to 4:45, and there were still 15 minutes until get off work.
Finally, the door finally opened from the outside.
It was the same young man from before. He glanced at Liu Dong sympathetically and said, "Our team leader has already discussed your matter with the director, but the director did not agree. I hope we can produce better works next time!"
After speaking in a formula-like manner, he looked at the watch on his hand and was still waiting to get off work.
The young man was secretly complaining that he was unlucky, and he asked himself to chase the person away. If the other person caused trouble, he might delay his get off work time.
Just when he was ready to deal with Tang An's anger, he unexpectedly found that Tang An was not too excited.
"Okay, thank you, but I will come again next time!"
Tang An picked up the bag, shook it briefly, and said with some regret.
Seeing Tang An looking so calm, the young man was a little confused.
Are you leaving now? You don’t want the film anymore?
Then he seemed to have thought of something and immediately chased him out. Seeing that Tang An didn't do anything drastic, he just walked out of the company building before turning back to report.
After leaving the China Film and Television Building, Tang An showed a hint of anger and clenched his hands.
What the hell!
I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing in my first movie!
Tang An didn't even have to think about it. Zhou Tao must have known that he had not registered with Optoelectronics, so he became greedy and wanted to take the film as his own.
Although Tang An prepared several CDs, it doesn't matter if one is lost.
However, that guy can find a leather bag company to apply for a photovoltaic project tomorrow at the latest, and then apply for a photography license.
Find a small company, make special effects for 1 yuan, take it to photoelectric review, and the film will become his.
Tang An has seen similar routines a lot. No matter how bad a movie is, it can be sold to so many prefecture-level cities and even county TV stations across the country for at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
As for the special effects?
In this era, it’s amazing that most families can have 23-inch color TVs. Most of them are still using 12-inch black and white TVs, and some even use 7-inch TVs.
If it is only played on a TV, not to mention the three to four million special effects, it can be fooled by the effect of an online game promotional video.
Things have happened, now is not the time to regret, and making a fuss is not the way to solve the problem.
Is it really like what is written in the novel, where you make a big fuss at China Film and Provoke a big boss, and then the other party knows the truth, fires Zhou Tao, and returns the film to you?
Otherwise, the big boss Hai will take a fancy to his movie and not only agree to invest, but also distribute it on the largest scale.
Wake up, maybe the security guards will escort you out as soon as you start making a fuss, and you won't even be able to get in from China Film.
After thinking outside for a while, Tang An had an idea and walked towards the underground parking lot.
If Zhou Tao wasn't an idiot, he would have taken the film to a well-connected leather goods company tonight. Tang An had to stop him and get the film back.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the electronic seconds on my wrist showed 5:32.
God bless, this Zhou Tao really has a car!
Tang An hid nearby and watched him blowing the whistle into the parking lot, and immediately followed him.
Santana!
This guy must have tricked many people before!
After looking around to make sure there was no one, Tang An strode forward and put his left hand on Zhou Tao's shoulder.
He took out a small fruit knife from his pocket with his right hand.
Throw it away!
The tip of the knife popped out and touched Zhou Tao's waist.
"Mr. Zhou, it's time to get off work!"
Zhou Tao was so frightened by the sudden attack that he held his left hand on the doorknob and did not dare to move it.
Years of experience in the martial arts world told him that the knife on his waist was neither a toy knife nor a finger.
"Yes...it's Director Tang!"
Zhou Tao didn't dare to move. He glanced behind him from the corner of his eye and saw that it was Tang An who calmed down.
"Director Tang, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Tao turned around and threatened with a gloomy expression.
"Ha... Mr. Zhou doesn't know what I mean. I'm quite impulsive. You'd better return the CD to me!" Tang An smiled sarcastically.
"What kind of CD? Didn't I give it to you before? If you open your backpack again, it will fall into it!"
Zhou Tao was noncommittal when faced with Tang An's questioning. He had encountered similar situations many times.
"呲..呲..呲呲..."
Tang An didn't waste any time. He took out the key with his left hand and pulled hard on his car door. A scratch was clearly visible.
"you!"
Zhou Tao was furious, "There are cameras here!"
"The camera is still five or six meters away. It's not that easy to see in your white car!"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Give me the film back!"
Tang An emphasized his tone, if he didn't hurry up, someone would be here.
"The film has been returned to you a long time ago. The director is not interested in your project, so you can't rely on me!"
Zhou Tao was still defending there, and he knew that someone else would come soon.
Tang An felt a little anxious, and with a cruel heart, he moved his right hand a little further to the side, increased his strength, and squeezed in bit by bit.
"Mr. Zhou, this position should be the kidney. Although my knife is not long, it can still penetrate it without any problem!" Tang An threatened sternly.
"You...don't mess around. We have something to discuss!"
Through his shirt, Zhou Tao could already feel the coldness of the tip of the knife, and he felt a little scared, but he still pretended to be calm.
"snort!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Anxin said that he must get the film back no matter what, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.
The tip of the knife cut open the clothes and stabbed into Zhou Tao's skin silently.
Feeling the touch from the tip of the knife, Tang An became more careful with his hands. If he really stabbed his kidney, he would be in trouble.
"Ah...wait! Wait...I'll give it to you, give it to you!"
The pain in his lower back caused Zhou Tao's complexion to change, and he begged for mercy again and again. As he spoke, he immediately opened the zipper of his briefcase, took out a box of CDs and handed it behind him.
Zhou Tao is not afraid of scaring people, but the knife has already been inserted into him. If the other party's brain gets twitched, it will be the end of his life.
Some time ago, there was news in Hengdian that a very handsome young man was drunk and drugged, or that there were three or four people together.
Later, a man went crazy with a knife and chopped down all those people, and one of them died.
It's not like Zhou Tao would bet his life on a movie.
"Mr. Zhou, I will go again tomorrow!"
After saying these words, Tang An immediately left the parking lot.
He was not afraid that Zhou Tao would call the police. He had done something and his superiors had turned a blind eye, but if it was exposed, he would definitely be the unlucky one.
It's just a matter of offending Zhou Tao. There are seven or eight groups in the China Film Distribution Department, all competing with each other, and he cannot represent China Film.
Tang An has been blocked by people more than once. Every time the film loses money, there are always some wealthy people who can't imagine it.
...
Early the next morning, Tang An came to China Film Group again, and by chance he met Zhou Tao again in the lobby.
