The sound of the elevator door opening woke up Zuo Le, who was deep in thought. He rubbed his face to return his expression to normal, and then stepped out of the elevator.
The Dongshan Radio and Television Station Building has 22 floors, and the TV production center to which Zuo Le belongs is located on the 10th floor.
After getting out of the elevator, Zuo Le turned the corner and entered the office corridor. A group of colleagues greeted him with smiles.
Zuo Le cheered up and responded with a smile one by one, until a fat man with a big head and big ears pulled him to a corner and asked furtively.
"How about it? What does Lao Mo say?"
Zuo Le glanced at Fatty, and without hiding anything from him, he briefly explained his experience in Mo Dashan's office.
After hearing this, the fat man was very angry and complained in his mouth: "This bastard old Mo is not a thief, but he likes to suppress newcomers to get the upper hand.
Zuo Le, don't get angry, there is brother here, brother will go to Lao Fang later, as long as Lao Fang supports you, Mo Dashan will have to give in."
…………
This fat man's name is Chen Beibai, a native of Quancheng. He is less than 1.7 meters tall and weighs over 260 centimeters. When he stands, he looks like a standard sphere.
Chen Beibai and Zuo Le entered the production center at the same time, but Chen Beibai was a postgraduate graduate from Dongshan University when he joined the company. He had some connections in the family, and his starting point was much higher than Zuo Le.
As soon as he arrived at the center, Fatty Chen served as the deputy planner for Taiwan's key self-produced dramas. Six months later, while Zuo Le was still struggling in the editorial department, he was already serving as the production director on the crew, holding real power.
Now, Fatty Chen has served as the producer of two self-produced dramas at the center. I heard that he is preparing to get a big production next year and then compete for the deputy director of the center.
Because Zuo Le and Fatty Chen joined the company at the same time and were about the same age, over the past few years, although their positions were different, their relationship was good and they were close buddies.
Because of this, when Fatty Chen heard that his good brother was being bullied by Mo Dashan, he immediately stopped doing it.
Looking at Fatty Chen who was filled with anger, Zuo Le felt warm in his heart and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, I'm fine. The situation is not certain now. There is still room for change. If it really doesn't work, I'll take my notebook and go outside."
invest.
Anyway, the investment in this drama is not big, and I am still young and can afford to gamble."
"You are so ambitious, you are worthy of being my brother."
Fatty Chen gave a stubby thumbs up and patted his plump breasts: "Don't worry, I've met a few bosses in the past few years. I dare not say too many. I'll give you two to three million problems."
Not big, when the time comes……”
"When the time comes, pack up your bed and get out of here."
Fatty Chen was boasting about his happiness when he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from beside him. He turned around and saw that it was Fang Weimin, the director of the center, who had stood beside them at some point.
"………director."
Fatty Chen swallowed and was about to explain, but Fang Weimin stared back.
"Who allows you to brag and talk nonsense here during working hours, Chen Beibai, when will you give me the "Harvest" shooting report?"
"Soon……"
Fatty Chen rubbed his fat hands and said with a smile.
"Very good, send it to my email before leaving get off work."
After that, Fang Weimin ignored Fatty Chen, who suddenly changed his color, and turned to look at Zuo Le.
"You come to the office with me."
Zuo Le gave Fatty Chen a protective look and strode to follow Fang Weimin who was leaving.
After the two left, Fatty Chen, who had been filled with sadness and anger just now, immediately showed a slightly lewd smile.
"The old man is too naive and wants to punish me. "Harvest" told me that I have finished it long ago."
After saying that, Fatty Chen held his belly straight out, hummed a little tune, and returned to the office area with three steps.

Television Production Center, Director's Office
Different from the typical Dongshan man like Mo Dashan, although Fang Weimin is also from Dongshan, his appearance is more handsome and heroic.
In the early years, Lao Fang was involved in the entertainment industry. At his peak in the 1990s, he suddenly became one of China's first-line costume students with his handsome face.
However, due to family reasons, Fang Weimin retired from the entertainment industry and worked behind the scenes. Twenty years later, he is now the director of Dongshan TV Television Production Center, with a high status, just below the deputy directors in the station.
For example, Director Fang Da, who is over forty this year, is still the most handsome man in the TV production center at the age of forty, and is even among the top figures in the entire Dongshan TV station.
While being deeply loved by the young girls in Taiwan, it also cut off the livelihood of ugly single young men like Zuo Le...
At this time, looking at Zuo Le who was obviously in a low mood, the mature and handsome Director Fang sat on the sofa, crossed his legs comfortably, and moved his shiny leather shoes up and down.
"How about it? The script has been passed but the project has not been approved. Please let me get it right."
Looking at that handsome face that made people jealous, Zuo Le nodded depressedly.
In fact, when he handed the script to Fang Weimin before and proposed to write and direct it himself, Fang Weimin reminded him that it was unlikely that this request would be realized, but Zuo Le wanted to try his luck.
Now it seems that Fang Weimin has guessed it all...
Looking at the depressed Zuo Le, Fang Weimin shook his head and smiled. He stood up, took a file and stuffed it into Zuo Le's hand. He motioned for the other party to open the file and read it, and said.
"Motai is a person who has always been relatively stable in character and puts caution first in everything he does, so he trusts his old comrades more and values his qualifications.
Frankly speaking, I was surprised that he could pass your script. Before you, most of the screenwriters who could pass the script at Motel were many senior screenwriters, which shows that he is optimistic about your script.
If you hadn't insisted on writing and directing it yourself, he would have relented and approved the project."
Zuo Le didn't have time to pay attention to what Fang Weimin said about Mo Dashan's character. He opened the file and saw the title above, and he was so happy.
"About the second phase of 2015's plan to create a new generation of power in Dongshantai"
Three years after joining Dongshan Taiwan Primary School, Zuo Le could barely be considered an old man in Taiwan, so he naturally understood the meaning of the document given to him by Fang Weimin.
The "Plan to Create a New Generation of Power in Dongshan Taiwan", referred to as "New Power", is a plan proposed by Director Chen Changshan of Dongshan Taiwan last year. Its main purpose is to support and promote new people in Taichung and create the backbone talents of the younger generation of Dongshan Taiwan.
The first phase last year had great results, with many good seedlings coming out, which were praised by provincial leaders. This made Taichung pay more attention to the "New Power" plan, and planned to increase the resources to support those in the second phase of the plan.
At this time, the second phase of "New Power" had just begun, and the various departments in Taiwan had not yet submitted the final candidates. Fang Weimin handed the plan to Zuo Le, and his intention was self-evident.
"Director, I... thank you."
Zuo Le stood up excitedly, wanting to express his gratitude, but because he was too excited, he kept thinking about how to say it, and finally bent down and bowed to Fang Weiming.
Don't blame Zuo Le for being excited, this is the kindness of knowing someone.
By participating in "New Power", Zuo Le has the support resources in Taiwan, and Mo Dashan can't help but hold on to the project. Once he lets go, Zuo Le's wish to write and direct can be realized.
Perhaps for Fang Weimin, today's move was just a matter of convenience.
But for Zuo Le, "New Power" is likely to change his entire life situation in one fell swoop. How could he not be grateful to Fang Wei for the people?
Tsk~
I heard that the director seems to have a daughter who has just entered college, so he might as well commit himself to her.
Well, with the director’s handsome face, his daughter’s looks are definitely good, and she will be worthy of this...
Zuo Le happily began to think wildly, while Fang Weimin looked at the excited Zuo Le with relief on his face.
But little did they know that Zuo Le, a man who wanted to repay his kindness with revenge, had already started plotting against his precious daughter.
Otherwise, Fang Weimin would have been so angry that he would have snatched the "New Power" document from Zuo Le's hand, tore it into pieces and threw it on Zuo Le's face, and then cursed him with a mean name.

half an hour later
Zuo Le came out of Fang Weimin's office with a smile on his face. As soon as he turned his head, Fatty Chen came over like a ghost.
"What's wrong? You're so happy that you feel like you've been pissed off. What kind of ecstasy did I give you?"
Zuo Le ignored Fatty Chen's nonsense and grabbed Fatty Chen's arm: "Brother Chen, after "Harvest" is finished, you probably won't be able to live anymore. Help your brother to save a crew."
"No problem, I'm an experienced producer... Damn it, have you done that?"
Fatty Chen didn't react at first, but soon realized what Zuo Le meant. He looked surprised and gave a thumbs up to Fang Weimin's office.
"Lao Fang is awesome, brother, you will bleed tonight."
"No problem, you can choose any place."
Zuo Le smiled and nodded, obviously already prepared to be slaughtered.
Fatty Chen was happy for Zuo Le for a while, slowly regained his composure, and then led him back to his small office.
After closing the door, Fatty Chen sat down on the sofa, causing the overburdened sofa to groan slightly.
However, Fatty Chen ignored the pain on the sofa and said happily to himself: "After three years in Taiwan, you finally got through it. This time we brothers fight side by side and create a big hit, and let those in Taiwan know
I know how good you are as a guide."
Although Zuo Le is not as optimistic as Fatty Chen, he still has some confidence in his golden finger.
He believes that since the TV series has achieved good results and reputation on the parallel world Earth, there is no reason why it will fail in reality today.
"By the way, I forgot the name of your drama. I have to go to Lao Fang to apply to be the producer of this drama later. I can't remember the name."
After finishing his bold words, Fatty Chen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten the name of the script written by Zuo Le, and hurriedly asked Zuo Le.
Zuo Le smiled slightly, turned to face Fatty Chen, and uttered five words slowly and firmly.
