Looking at Li Zhuo and Fang Qiong hugging each other on the stage, Zhang Zhong stood beside the stage and was filled with emotion. When they were little boys, they never thought that one day their lives would be like this.
Pengpeng stood on the other side of the stage holding a flower basket. Her task had already been completed, but she still held the flower basket with a serious face and did not relax for a moment. She valued the task taught to her by Uncle Zhuo very much.
Recalling the scene of picking up the bride during the day, Zhang Zhong shuddered.
He has never been married, but he has attended several weddings, but none of the weddings he attended before were as brutal as Li Zhuo's.
College students who are still in college may have more free time, and Fang Qiong is less likely to get married while still in college, so they rack their brains and come up with many ways to make things difficult for others.
After seeing how they played, Zhang Zhong couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, boring people have the most vivid imaginations. Some of those "tortures" he had never even heard of before.
Sticking leg hair with tape, drinking vinegar and soy sauce are all childish, and there are even some indescribable tricks.
Fortunately, these bridesmaids were not interested in the two groomsmen, or they were too embarrassed to dress up, so Li Zhuo suffered the consequences.
Apart from the newlyweds, the most dazzling ones on tonight's stage were the bridesmaids, who sang, danced, and talked about cross talk. Zhang Zhong and Li Xiang looked weak standing on the other side.
After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Zhong led Pengpeng to find their location, where Xu Yuhan was already waiting.
Seeing Zhang Zhong coming back, she smiled and said, "I thought you wanted to perform a show too."
Zhang Zhong spread his hands and said, "I don't have any skills in this area."
"Go up and read a poem to them." Xu Yuhan suggested.
"That's really embarrassing." Just thinking about this scene gives me goosebumps all over my body.
"Haha, Pengpeng performed very well."
Pengpeng was very happy to be praised, "Then when Teacher Xu gets married, I will also give you a basket of flowers, free of charge."
Zhang Zhong gently patted Pengpeng's head, "If it's not free, do you still want to charge money?"
"Uncle Zhuo said he wanted to give me a big red envelope."
"You really take it to heart. If Uncle Zhuo wants to give it to you, will you accept it?"
"Of course I'll take it, this is the income from my labor." Pengpeng said matter-of-factly.
"I will collect your Uncle Zhuo's red envelope for you. You will go to elementary school next semester. Dad will use this red envelope to pay your tuition."
"All right……"
Seeing Pengpeng's aggrieved expression, Zhang Zhong laughed. She learned the trick of paying tuition fees from her grandmother.
When Zhang Zhong's lucky money was confiscated when he was a child, Hu Huifang would say that it would be used to pay his tuition.
…
I'm in the United States and just got off the plane.
When Zhang Zhong arrived in New York, he suddenly remembered this sentence.
Pengpeng rubbed his eyes and looked outside, "Dad, is this the United States? Why does it feel so similar to China?"
Xu Yuhan touched her head and said with a smile, "This is an airport, of course, it's pretty much the same. You can feel the difference when you get out. Pengpeng, please follow us closely."
"Don't worry, Teacher Xu. Even if you get lost, I can still find you. I have also learned a few words in English, such as hello, dharma seal, three grams of oil, Ander oil, goodbye, and seductive lala."
Wait, the last sentence doesn't seem to be in English.
"Boss, Affleck has arrived at the hotel we booked."
Zhang nodded and asked, "How long does it take for us to arrive?"
"Under normal circumstances, it will take us about forty-five minutes to an hour to get to the hotel," Chen Qing said.
"Okay, our celebrity friends have waited too long."
…
Americans are relatively reserved. At least Affleck only shook hands with Zhang Zhong and didn't give him a bear hug or anything like that.
Affleck is considered thin among Westerners, but he is not short. Standing in front of Zhang Zhong at a height of 1.9 meters, Affleck is quite oppressive.
"PZ, welcome to New York." Affleck said slightly excitedly. After all, he is known as the number one PZ fan in the West, and even readers in North America will call him the honorary president, although he has never been exposed to such an organization.
.
"Nice to meet you, Ben. I've kept you waiting."
"I should be the one to say sorry. You were tired from the journey, but I didn't leave you any time to rest. This is not the way a good host would treat guests." Affleck laughed.
"Before we chat, let's get down to business. I heard that you agreed to all the conditions we proposed, except for some things about the script?"
Affleck was a little surprised by Zhang Zhong's directness, but he quickly replied, "I have some ideas of my own about the script."
"I understand, have you sorted out these ideas?"
"Of course." Affleck handed over a notebook, "It contains some of my ideas."
Zhang Zhong took the notebook and read it carefully.
Affleck's ideas are not complicated, but they do not touch the core of the story. Of course, there are some small thoughts of his in the middle. If he follows his ideas, there will definitely be more things related to the United States in this movie.
In fact, Zhang Zhong accepts this. After all, it would be a bit abnormal if only people from one country appear in a movie like "The Last Starfish Man". This is a story about the entire human race.
After quickly reading the opinions compiled by Affleck, Zhang Zhong laid the book flat on his lap and said, "We can accept these."
Affleck said happily, "Really? Then..."
"I will leave the movie to you." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
This time the cooperation is not as simple as Zhang Zhong transferring the film and television adaptation rights to Affleck. The two parties have a more complicated cooperative relationship. Zhang Zhong will inject capital, participate in the share sharing, and will also send people to participate in the film production.
go.
Zhang Zhong is not sure whether "The Last Starfish" will make money from filming. The reason why he did this is to pave the way for other novels to be made into films in the future.
The cooperation was quickly negotiated, and both parties would draft the contract and then sign it.
After talking about the business, Affleck seemed very relaxed. He smiled and took out a copy of "Ender's Game" and said, "I don't know if I am honored to get your autograph before the book signing."
"It should be said that it is my honor." Zhang Zhong took out his pen and signed it for Affleck simply, and also gave him a message, "There are no small roles, only small actors."
This is a line from The Gothenburg Family. Zhang Zhong wrote it as soon as he thought of it. Of course, it was written in English.
Affleck looked at this sentence thoughtfully, and then he smiled and asked, "Am I the first foreigner to get your signature?"
"Not only that, you are also the first person to ask me to sign a special visa in English."
