"Teacher Zhang, come and sit down at the humble residence?"
In the cold wind, Xu Wenxuan wrapped his collar and invited Zhang Zhong with a smile.
After the two of them finished eating at the hotel, they learned that Xu Wenxuan came by bus, so Zhang Zhong offered to drive him home.
"No, it's getting late. I have to rush back. The temperature outside is low. Teacher Xu, you'd better go back quickly. Don't freeze." Zhang Zhong declined with a smile. If he really went, Xu Yuhan would probably have to return.
The ground exploded.
"Well, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance and be careful on the road."
"Okay, you go back."
Seeing Xu Wenxuan enter the community, Zhang Zhong stepped on the accelerator and left.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are far fewer cars and people on the road. Even many roadside storefronts are dark. Most of the outsiders have gone back to celebrate the Spring Festival.
The past two years have been better. In previous years, the streets were empty during the Chinese New Year.
Now more and more outsiders will choose to settle in Jiangyang and will not go back during the Chinese New Year.
Rural people are like being driven into the city by a pair of invisible hands. One day, during the Chinese New Year, the big cities will still be lively, but the towns will become more deserted.
When passing Sanli'an, Zhang Zhong saw at a glance the advertisement playing on the LED screen hanging on the wall outside the mall. It turned out to be the trailer of the movie "Ten Little Indian Boys".
He slowed down and walked slowly along the road, but he was looking at the big screen out of the corner of his eye.
Although he has been to the filming site twice, he has never seen the film. This trailer is also the first time he has seen it.
The trailer is not long, it mainly contains flashbacks of the appearance of various characters and the death of some characters.
Although many readers have read the book and know the ending, the trailer deliberately hides this part of the information to ensure a perfect experience for those who have not read the book.
Wen Jinjiang took risks when filming this movie. After all, if the ending of this book is known, the movie may be much less exciting. And Zhang Zhong has so many fans of the book, and there are many people who have read the book.
, if the director is not careful, he may overturn.
For Zhang Zhong, if the movie becomes a hit, he will certainly benefit, but even if the movie fails, not many people will criticize Zhang Zhong. Even if the movie fails, the sales of this book will increase. The key is how much
problem.
Therefore, he has no psychological burden.
But Wen Jinjiang doesn't need to worry too much. After all, only a small number of people have read the book, and even if these people are dissatisfied with the movie, they will probably contribute a lot to the box office.
In addition to "Ten Little Indian Boys", "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" should be released in the middle of the year, and "The Conspiracy" is also likely to be released this year.
If he had not deliberately suppressed film and television adaptation matters, I am afraid that more film and television dramas adapted from his works would be released this year.
Last year, he dominated the entire literature page for almost a year. This year, he may not only dominate the literature page, but also the entertainment page.
When Zhang Zhong came home, Pengpeng was watching TV.
Now the TV at home is no longer for her alone, and her interest in Piggy Hair has also decreased. She is not like before, she would watch Piggy Hair whenever the TV is turned on every day.
Sometimes when new cartoons come out, she will watch them. If there is nothing special she wants to watch, she will watch those short life dramas with her grandparents.
She's not picky about food, and she can also watch daily life dramas with great enthusiasm, but Zhang Zhong guesses that she doesn't quite understand them, and she can only get a feel for them.
"Dad, tell me a story."
As soon as she got home, Pengpeng sat up from the sofa and asked Zhang Zhong to tell her a bedtime story.
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Yeah, I'll wait for you." Pengpeng Tiantian smiled.
By the time Zhang Zhong came out of the room after taking a shower, which was only ten minutes, Pengpeng had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
"This girl was very sleepy just now. Please take her back to the room." Hu Huifang whispered.
"Yeah." Zhang Zhong nodded slightly, walked over and picked up Pengpeng from the sofa, but as soon as he picked her up from the sofa, she seemed to be startled, and her two little hands were scratching around, and she wouldn't stop if she caught Zhang Zhong's clothes.
loosened.
Zhang Zhong didn't dare to move. It wasn't until she stabilized that he slowly carried her to her room.
He put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Zhang Zhong sat next to her and looked at his daughter.
She must have been dreaming, and it wasn't a pleasant dream. You could tell by looking at her eyebrows, which wrinkled for a while and relaxed for a while.
After sitting for about half an hour, her eyebrows stretched completely and she suddenly showed a beautiful smile.
Zhang Zhong also laughed.
"Son, come here, your father and I have something to discuss with you."
After coming out of Pengpeng's room, Hu Huifang took his arm and whispered.
Zhang Zhong looked at the expressions of the old couple and asked with some confusion, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Xingjun smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The shop in front of us is selling it. I saw the flyer today and the price is very cheap. A smaller shop only costs 100,000 yuan. I'm thinking of selling it to my supermarket."
Close it and get a facade over there."
"That mall at the door? Are they still selling it?" Zhang Zhong said unexpectedly.
That shopping mall had been around for a long time, but within two weeks it couldn't hold on anymore. Later, half of it was converted into a furniture store, and the other half has always been empty.
"Well, yes, business was not good in the past because of road construction. Now it is at the subway entrance. The location is good. The merchant is planning to get the other half out and build an underground shopping mall. I heard that it will be officially opened in the first half of next year.
, once these two places open, business will definitely become more prosperous." Zhang Xingjun said.
Zhang Chong heard his father's tone and he had high hopes for this shopping mall.
However, Zhang Zhong is not optimistic at all. The subway entrance did not just open today. It has been almost two years and the mall has not seen any improvement. The mall owner said it can be opened?
Although Zhang Zhong is not in real estate, he still has some sense of smell. Unless there is a super commercial plaza next to it to connect the shopping mall here with Banshan Street at the foot of Iris Mountain, otherwise the flow of people will not be possible. It lacks core competitiveness.
.
However, he did not directly say that he was not optimistic about it, but said, "Dad, you don't want the base next to the school?"
"Hey, I can't make much money. Now students don't go to my place to buy anything. There is a big supermarket not far away."
"Then what are you going to do with a new storefront and open a small supermarket?"
"Well, open a tobacco and alcohol supermarket. I heard that tobacco and alcohol are highly profitable, and any sale is better than my small store."
"Let's do this. I'll go check it out with you later. If it's good, we'll make a decision." Zhang Zhong said.
"Okay, they don't have a holiday tomorrow yet, so we'll go tomorrow."
