As expected, Fan Min had just changed his clothes backstage and was about to leave early when he was blocked by Zuo and Gao, who came in a hurry.
"Lao Fan, the curtain hasn't ended yet, why did you slip away on your own?"
Gao Xinjian seemed to have a good relationship with Fan Min. He caught him just to tease him, but Fan Min didn't care and explained with a smile.
"Your sister-in-law is not at home today on a business trip. I have to go back to pick up the children from tutoring class. I have asked for leave from my boss."
"Oh, that's it. Don't rush home yet. I'll introduce someone to you."
Gao Xinjian nodded, then stepped aside to make way for Zuo Le and introduced Fan Min.
"Lao Fan, let me introduce, this is Director Zuo. Did you know that "Underground Traffic Station" was filmed by Director Zuo. This time he is cooperating with our group to prepare a sitcom, and I will be his assistant director."
"Hello, Director Zuo."
Fan Min glanced at Zuo Le, said hello calmly, and then turned to look at Gao Xinjian.
"Xin Xin, if you need anything, just tell me. I'm in a hurry to pick up the child."
Zuo Le looked at Fan Min who nodded and ignored him, feeling slightly surprised.
It's not that Zuo Le is arrogant now, but to be honest, since he became famous in "Underground Traffic Station", whenever he meets an actor, the other person treats him as a newly famous director, if not flattering, at least full of enthusiasm.
There was also a slight smile on his face.
This man was so good. When he saw him, he was just like a stranger. He just ignored him gorgeously. This made Zuo Le, who had been doing everything in Kongwen recently, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
Gao Xinjian was also a little embarrassed, but he also understood that his old friend had this temper, so he hurriedly reminded Zuo Le for fear of being angry.
"Director Zuo was watching your performance on stage just now. He thought you were quite suitable for a role in the new play we are currently preparing, so I wanted to talk to you."
Fan Min turned his attention to Zuo Le again and stared at it for a moment. His face changed slightly, but he was still calm.
"Can you tell me what role you play?"
Zuo Le's original intention was to have a chat with Fan Min, but after listening to what he had just said to Gao Xinjian, he knew that Fan Min still had something to do, so he simply introduced the character setting and characteristics of deputy squad leader Gao Gao, and
Finally expressed.
"Teacher Fan, your performance on stage just now is very consistent with my image of Lao Gao. I sincerely hope that we can reach cooperation."
Perhaps he was attracted by the role of Lao Gao, or perhaps he was moved by Zuo Le's sincerity, but the expression on Fan Min's face became much more lively and friendly.
"Thank you, director, for your appreciation. Personally, I am inclined to play this role. However, there are regulations in the group. We need approval from the leadership to accept external film appointments. This..."
"No problem. I can find someone here to contact your group. Teacher Fan can just wait for the news."
Fan Min nodded, and suddenly said with embarrassment: "Director, can I go? The child is about to get out of school."
"Okay, no problem, you are busy in advance."
Zuo Le quickly got out of the way. Fan Min nodded, turned around and strode away. After he left, Zuo Le looked at Fan Min's slightly stooped back and touched his chin.
"I think Xinjian's evaluation just now is a bit exaggerated. Teacher Fan Min is actually quite easy to talk to except for being a little cold."
Gao Xinjian looked very sad: "This is all forced by life. In the early years, Lao Fan had a very bad temper, low emotional intelligence and could not speak.
Except for those of us who are friends he likes and can chat with, he rarely talks to others.
As he has gotten older in the past few years, Lao Fan has gradually changed due to various factors in his family and career."
Zuo Le nodded thoughtfully. He was nearly forty years old. Under the heavy burden of family and career, a man who had been aloof for more than ten years suddenly changed his awkward personality.
"Tsk..."
Some people may think that Fan Min has abandoned himself and bowed to reality, but Zuo Le understands and appreciates Fan Min's current changes very much.
He took Gao Xinjian to the office of Guo Xin, the leader of Kongwen, hoping that Kongwen would come forward to contact Lu Wen.
If he can sign a film contract, he can sign a film contract, but if he can't, he will be seconded by his employer. In short, he must pry this diamond from Lu Wen...
…………
An hour later, Fan Min locked the battery car in the corridor, took his daughter to the third floor, took the key and opened the door, revealing a cozy little home of less than 80 square meters.
Although the house is very small, considering the housing prices in Beijing, if Fan Min hadn't stayed in Luwen for a long time and was assigned a self-built dormitory room in the group based on his seniority, he would not dare to imagine that his income would be as high as
I can have my own house within the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing.
Because of this house, although Fan Min criticized some of Lu Wen's leaders in his heart, he was very grateful to the company, worked conscientiously in acting, and never publicly complained outside.
His wife was on a business trip, so the father and daughter simply had dinner outside and sent the children to wash their faces and brush their teeth. Fan Min changed his clothes and was about to watch TV when he suddenly remembered the young director who stopped him today.
"Zuo Le? Cooking Class...?"
Fan Min hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and searched the name Zuo Le online. There were a lot of various news.
[Revealing the secrets of the five major relatives in the entertainment industry, they are actually number one]
[Two TV series established him as a famous director. Behind Zuo Le’s rapid rise to fame, is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morals?]
[Shocked! Why did the handsome guy become a director]
【…………】
Fan Min ignored some editors' headlines and suspected someone's fake posts, and found a report that interested him in the chaotic news.
[The genius sitcom director Zuo Le, the new drama integrates military themes, with the help of actors from the Kongwen Art Troupe]
Fan Min clicked on the news and browsed. The editor of this report must have had contact with the crew, or this was simply a promotional release released by the crew. It contained a lot of useful information and revealed a lot of information about Zuo Le's new drama.
"A sitcom based on cooking soldiers? It reflects the daily life of the troops and shows the spiritual outlook of contemporary officers and soldiers."
Fan Min muttered a few words, his eyes flashed, and he turned to look at his daughter who had just finished washing her feet.
"Sissi, can you search for the wonderful "Underground Traffic Station" you talked about last time on the Internet?"
"Sure, it's available at the currency station. No membership is required." The daughter said crisply.
"Coin station? I don't think I have it on my phone. Go to the store to get one."
Fan Min fiddled with his phone for a while and successfully found the page where "Underground Traffic Station" was played on the currency website. Fan Min was a little surprised when he saw a list of honors such as "No. 1 in the film and television area" marked in the introduction.
He knew that "Underground Traffic Station" was very popular. At that time, his wife and daughter were also following the show, but Fan Min was busy arranging a drama in the troupe. He left early and came back late every day, which made him very busy.
By the time he had some free time, "Underground Traffic Station" had already finished airing, and its popularity dropped significantly. So although Fan Min knew that "Underground Traffic Station" was quite popular, he never had a concrete idea.
When I came to the currency website today and saw the string of honors, tens of millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments, Fan Min suddenly felt a little hot in his heart.
If "The Story of Cooking Class" is also so popular, then...
…………
The next day, after Fan Min sent his daughter to school, he rode to the work unit and nodded with several colleagues who had arrived early. He quietly sat on his chair playing with his mobile phone and waited for a while to rehearse the performance.
However, what surprised him was that the deputy captain, who had not spoken to him for eight lifetimes, suddenly came to him and brought him surprising and happy news.
The crew of Kong Wen's "The Story of the Cooking Class" sent Lu Wen a film appointment and invited Fan Min to play the role of deputy squad leader Gao.
The deputy leader had had many "deals" with Fan Min before, and knew that this was a smelly and hard rock, so he was afraid that he would offend him and prevent him from getting off the stage in public, so he patiently explained.
"This is from a brother's unit. We don't want to refuse people's face. The regiment wants you to go. Although no one has done a military-themed sitcom, the director Zuo Le is quite famous. Maybe let him
Come up with something famous.
All in all, I think this is a good opportunity. Of course, if you don’t want to go, we can’t force you. Everything is still subject to your personal will..."
"I go."
Fan Min grinned and suddenly interrupted.
The deputy captain glanced at Fan Min in surprise, mumbled slightly, and then said.
"Okay, since you agree to go, write an application statement and hand it to me later, and then go directly to Kongwen to report it tomorrow."
"Um."
Fan Min nodded, turned around and calmly went to his desk to write the application form.
But where no one saw it, Fan Min's hands hidden in his sleeves almost dug his nails into his flesh in order to suppress his composure...
