When returning home, Pengpeng held the floral paper umbrella Xu Yuhan made for her and was unwilling to relax for a moment.
This girl not only likes to hold her umbrella by herself, but when she sees other children, she also opens her umbrella to show off.
Look, I have a flower umbrella... Peng Peng's expression seems to be able to talk.
After returning home, had Zhang Zhong not repeatedly told her that this paper umbrella should not touch water, Pengpeng would have taken the paper umbrella into the bathroom to play with.
Pengpeng followed her grandma to the bathroom to take a shower. Zhang Zhong picked up the flower umbrella and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh that the gap between people is sometimes much greater than imagined. I couldn't even make the simplest small paper umbrella, but Xu Yuhan drew and folded it in two hours.
To produce something so beautiful...it can even be said to be a work of art.
Xu Yuhan is a person who knows how to put in effort, which was the case the last time she gave "Jieyou Grocery Store" in return.
He also felt a little lucky. At that time, he was just passing by Meng Mu's Xiaozhu occasionally, but he did not expect to find such a considerate and meticulous teacher for Peng Peng.
Zhang Zhong sometimes wondered whether he could hire Xu Yuhan to be Pengpeng's tutor. It would only cost a little more money a month. However, after this period of contact, he found that Xu Yuhan was not short of money and opened a studio to teach children to draw.
Painting seems to be her ideal.
In this case, Zhang Zhong felt that there was no need for him to use money to fight against the ideals of a person who was not short of money.
In fact, although Xu Yuhan is not a tutor now, the treatment Pengpeng receives is definitely not much worse than that of a personal friend. Not only does he teach painting, but he also does his homework.
Where can I find such a dedicated teacher?
…
The next morning, a new week started again. Zhang Zhong had just sent Pengpeng to school when he received a call from Shen Jian.
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised by Shen Jian's call. Apart from the "Chameleon" matter, he seemed to have nothing else to ask him about.
But "Chameleon" has been staged and the contracts have been fulfilled, so there should be no follow-up matters.
Zhang Zhong had thought that Shen Jian might have come here for "The Necklace", but unlike "The Chameleon", "The Necklace" was not suitable to be turned into a sketch book.
"Teacher Zhang, actually I have nothing to do. I just want to talk to you. I don't know if you are free. If you have time, I would like to treat you to a cup of tea." Shen Jian said on the phone.
Zhang Zhong said, "There is still time to chat. Let's go to the same store as last time. I will wait for you there at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, I will definitely arrive on time." Shen Jian said excitedly.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhong shook his head. There was no way that this popular comedian would just drink tea and chat with him, but he didn't say it directly, so he couldn't guess.
Until two o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhang Zhong arrived at Jiujiu Cafe, Shen Jian, wearing a peaked cap, had already arrived.
"Teacher Zhang, here." When Shen Jian saw Zhang Zhong, he raised his hand and shouted, but then he realized something and put his hand down, and lowered his head at the same time.
Zhang Zhong walked over and said with a smile, "So careful?"
"You can't be careful. Every time a work is on TV, reporters will follow it closely for a while. They are like cats that can't smell fishy. They will chase whoever is popular. I think it will get better after a while.
"Shen Jian said in a low voice.
"Maybe it won't get better. I guess the heat hasn't subsided during this period. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala over there is coming again. Will there be a Spring Festival Gala this year?" Zhang Zhong asked teasingly.
"I can't say this. CCTV's Spring Festival Gala has a confidentiality agreement and no information can be disclosed." Shen Jian said.
Zhang nodded and said casually, "Did you sign a confidentiality agreement this year?"
"Signed——"
Shen Jiang just blurted out two words, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he reacted, "Teacher Zhang, you are tricking me."
Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "Can you blame me? You're not careful. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this."
Shen Jian smiled and said, "I'm not worried about this. No one will believe you even if you say it. How can there be a year when it's not spread that I'm going to attend the Spring Festival Gala? There are still people who spread the word about the work in a decent way. Unless you put yourself My identity has been exposed, otherwise no one would believe me."
"That's true." Zhang Zhong also laughed. He raised his head and shouted to the boss, "One cup of yellow buds and one cup of brown sugar glutinous rice cake."
"Okay."
On a midweek afternoon, the business in the store was a little slow. The boss's daughter was nowhere to be found, and the boss was the only one looking after the business.
"Tell me what you have come to see me for." After ordering things, Zhang Zhong leaned on his chair and asked Shen Jian straight to the point.
Shen Jian smiled and said, "Actually, I have a merciless request."
"Stop being coy and just say it."
"It's like this. I fell in love with Teacher Zhang's "The Necklace" and wanted the right to adapt it. Of course, I want more than that. I also want Teacher Zhang to be my screenwriter."
"Oh?" Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he had guessed it right before. However, he still didn't understand why Shen Jian was interested in "The Necklace". "Why did you fall in love with this novel? It's not good to turn this novel into a sketch. Change it."
Of course it’s not easy to change. There are many characters and scenes involved. The most important thing is that the time span is very large. It is difficult to arrange and express these things well on the sketch stage.
Shen Jian shook his head, "This time it's not a sketch, I want to make a drama."
Oh, Zhang Zhong remembered. He had learned about Shen Jian on the Internet before. This guy also had a background in drama.
It's a good thing that "The Necklace" has been turned into a drama. As for the screenwriter...
"I can sign the copyright of the novel to you, but you'd better hire someone else to write the screenplay. I've never been a screenwriter myself, and I don't know anything about dialogue." Zhang Zhong expressed his thoughts.
Shen Jian said, "Actually, the drama is simpler than you think, and the script is also very easy to write. It has the foundation of the novel "The Necklace" and can be modified at will."
Faced with Shen Jian's persuasion, Zhang Zhong remained unmoved, "Since you can just change it casually, you don't need me anymore."
Seeing Zhang Zhong's insistence, Shen Jian stopped trying to persuade him and said with some disappointment, "That's really a pity, but don't worry, Teacher Zhang, I will definitely not ruin this novel."
"Well, I'm very relieved."
In fact, Zhang Zhong didn't care about the result. Anyway, he signed the non-exclusive adaptation rights. If Shen Jian didn't make the changes well, others would naturally challenge him, and there would always be a good version.
Just like "Journey to the West", what people will remember in the end is the 1986 version. Before that, there were many trashy film and television adaptations, but some people say [Country Novel www.yanjuexiangcun.com] "Journey to the West" itself Isn’t it good?
Besides, not many people watch dramas.
"I'll draw up the contract later, and then bring it to you for review, but now I have another thing to trouble Teacher Zhang." At this point, Shen Jian smiled and took out a copy of "Jieyou Grocery Store" from his briefcase. 》Come, "Teacher Zhang, please sign an autograph for me, a little fan."
