Chapter 650 Wu Tianmin returned to China
A train from Huacheng to Xijing slowly stopped at the platform. The door opened and a large number of passengers swarmed out. A middle-aged couple followed the crowd with their suitcases. At the station entrance, come to the square.
The man looked at the tall city wall not far in front of the square and couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm finally back."
He is Wu Tianmin, who has spent five years in the United States. After years of wandering, he finally set foot on the road back home.
The journey back home was not easy either. First I took a plane to Xiangjiang and was stranded for a while before completing the immigration procedures. Then I entered Shenzhen and then went to Huacheng. From Huacheng I took a train to my long-awaited hometown.
Five years have passed, and the tall city wall and even the city in front of him seem to have not changed much, but Wu Tianmin knows that his state of mind is no longer the same as before.
Starting from here five years ago, I was so high-spirited at that time. Known as a "professional chicken farmer" and the director of the "No. 1 film studio in the Mainland", I have received multiple honors.
And now, he quietly came back with his lover, who still knows him?
Wu Tianmin was carrying his suitcase and preparing to take the bus on the side of the road with his lover. At this time, he saw a young couple walking towards them with smiles on their faces.
Minghua!
"Brother Wu, it's been a hard journey." Fang Minghua greeted.
"You, how did you know I would come today?" Wu Tianmin was very surprised.
"Li Li from San Francisco called me and told me that you were about to return to China, so I asked Zhang Yimou. He was originally going to pick you up, but he couldn't do without the crew during the filming of "The Overlord of Western Chu", so he called me. Let me pick you up."
Just at the end of last year, Zhang Yimou was invited to produce the Xiangjiang movie "The Overlord of Western Chu", a feature film co-produced by the mainland and Xiangjiang.
Directed by Xian Qiran and Wei Hantao, starring Lu Liangwei, Zhang Fengyi, Gong Li and Guan Zhilin.
“Thank you, thank you.” Wu Tianmin was very moved.
The news of his return to China was only told to his favorite disciple Zhang Yimou, and no one else was told.
"Brother Wu, sister-in-law, come this way, we will take you back first." Song Tangtang said next to him.
So the four of them walked to the parking lot and came to a black Audi.
This Audi 100 was purchased by the company years ago. After making money from real estate speculation in Hainan, Zhao Hongjun purchased an Audi for Shengshi Group and its two affiliated companies each for official business.
After the couple got in the car, Song Tangtang drove towards the city.
Wu Tianmin was sitting in the back seat, looking outside through the car window.
Jiefang Road, Dacha City, East Street, Bell and Drum Tower He looked at these familiar streets.
There are more high-rise buildings outside the city, but the city has not changed much. The smell of mutton wafting from the street made him feel more friendly.
It’s good to be back home.
No matter how delicious the hamburger is, it can’t compare to the Roujiamo.
What can I do after I come back?
Wu Tianmin's eyes slowly became confused.
Wu Tianmin’s family lived in the family building of Xiying Studio on Xiying Road. Fang Minghua and his wife drove there and helped carry their luggage upstairs.
The room had been empty for a long time and was already filled with dust.
"Minghua, Tangtang, you can go about your business. Thank you." Wu Tianmin said.
"Okay, Brother Wu, we are going to pick you up tomorrow night, and the place will be at Xijing Restaurant."
"No, no, no, I came back in despair, and it's not that glorious. It's something." Wu Tianmin quickly said with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone.
"Look what you said. It's a good thing to be back! There are no other outsiders at the party, just Zhang Yimou and the others. These are your former disciples. How can you not see them?"
"Okay then." Wu Tianmin agreed.
The next afternoon, Wu Tianmin changed into clean clothes and rode his Feige bicycle. This bicycle had been abandoned in the woodshed at home and had not been ridden for several years, gathering dust.
At noon today, Wu Tianmin wiped it clean and pushed it outside to repair the bicycle stall. The stall owner cleaned up, added some lubricating oil to the bearings, and filled both tires with air. It's quite easy to ride and run now.
Wu Tianmin rushed to Xijing Restaurant, asked the bartender, then went up to the second floor and pushed open the box, only to see that it was already full of people.
Fang Minghua and his wife, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, He Ping, Zhou Xiaowen, Teng Wenji, and Feng Xiaoning all stood up when they saw Wu Tianmin coming in.
"Director Wu, Brother Wu"
Everyone greeted with a smile and made way for Wu Tianmin to sit at the top.
Wu Tianmin couldn't help but sigh when he looked at these familiar faces.
Except for Fang Minghua and his wife, these people are all subordinates of Wu Tianmin, the director of Xiying Film Studio, and some of them were trained by him.
Now they are the backbone of Xi Film Studio and dominate the domestic film industry.
Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with all this.
The food was served quickly, and the wine was Xifeng, which Xijing people like to drink. Everyone chatted while eating.
Wu Tianmin seems unwilling to talk about his experiences in the United States, but prefers the current development of the domestic film industry. He is happy with the achievements of his former disciples,
"Director, come back What are your plans for the future?" Zhang Yimou poured Wu Tianmin a glass of wine and asked.
"What plan? What plan can I have?" Wu Tianmin's tone was full of self-deprecation. "I am very satisfied that I can return to China. What else can I plan?"
In fact, everyone knows it in their hearts.
Although Wu Tianmin's human relations are still at Xiying Studio, with his current embarrassing status, Xiying Studio simply cannot stay.
He picked up Zhang Yimou's toast again, drank it down in one gulp, and continued: "When everything is arranged, I am going to Yanjing to see if there is a place for me to stay."
"Well, Yanjing is good. Yanjing has more opportunities than our Xijing."
"Yeah. The current Xiying Studio, hey," everyone said and sighed again.
At this moment, Song Tangtang said: "Director Wu, are you going to Yanjing? Why don't you come to Shengshi Film and Television? I sincerely invite you to come over and serve as the deputy general manager of the company. How about it?"
Deputy General Manager of Shengshi Film and Television!
The current momentum of Shengshi Film and Television is very strong. It has produced several excellent movies and TV series in succession in the past few years. It is not only the largest private film and television company in the country, but also has overshadowed the old Xi Film Studio.
Of course, there is another layer of temptation.
It is said that Shengshi Film and Television pays very high salaries to its employees, and even leaders at the vice-president level implement an annual salary system!
If Wu Tianmin goes there, he will definitely not treat him badly.
But Wu Tianmin shook his head after hearing this.
"Mr. Song, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to be an official now. If I have the opportunity to make a movie, that is my biggest expectation."
"Director Wu, as deputy Between when you become a director and make a film No conflict." Song Tangtang continued: "You can still make movies as the vice president of the company, just like you made "Old Well" when you were the director of Xi Film Studio, and the film and television company can provide you with ample funds. ”
"If, Brother Wu, you don't mind, I can help you write the script." Fang Minghua, who was sitting next to him, added with a smile.
Wu Tianmin was moved after hearing this.
Script and funds. This is what a director dreams of.
Why go to Yanjing by yourself?
Aren’t you just looking for opportunities to make films?
