Chapter 202 Favors are as thin as paper (2)
Lao Wen is still very considerate. He not only asked customer service to print out the script but also gave him a ballpoint pen.
Sun Tao saw him lowering his head and making comments, and took the opportunity to destroy another apple pie.
"Hahaha, teacher, I don't hold grudges. This turn of events made my engine dry and smoke. Damn it, how did you even come up with this line? You're not usually like the person who likes to argue (argue)?"
Sun Tao chuckled, his smile was unpredictable, and he picked up the red bean pie again without responding to Lao Wen.
After staying up all night last night and then sleeping until noon, Sun Tao was really hungry.
Wen Jianjun didn't want him to answer and continued to read the script quickly. He only wanted a glass of Coke, and he didn't drink much.
"Hahaha, Superstar Sun Tao, OK, I think this idea is very good, shit, the sentence here doesn't seem to make sense, so I marked it out for you..."
……
After finishing the Mexican chicken burrito set, Sun Tao ordered another tender beef five-way. Sun Tao was not willing to eat the Big Mac. When selling a house, his colleagues often called this, oh, Sun Tao had the impression that takeout has been available for a long time, it seems That's KFC and McDonald's.
Sun Tao spent more than 60 on two set meals. McDonald's was still a high-end restaurant in 2003.
Sun Tao had finished the two set meals, but Lao Wen hadn't finished his cup of Coke. He didn't drink much and kept reading the script.
McDonald's doesn't chase people away. Oh, of course it's not meal time and there are no other customers in the store.
It took Sun Tao more than ten minutes to eat the two set meals, and it took Lao Wen about half an hour to read the script. The script was actually not very thick, with tens of thousands of words, only a dozen pages, but he read it very carefully, word by word. He marked all the typos, incorrect sentences, awkward sentences, and any doubtful points...
Sun Tao understood Lao Wen's thoughts, but he couldn't make any promises, so he could only pretend to be confused.
"That's great!"
Lao Wen handed over the script, then drank all the Coke in one gulp, "Are you going to ask Director Zhang to meet in the evening?"
"Well, the night is long and the dream is long, so let's make a quick decision."
Lao Wen hesitated for a moment, "Changying has no money!"
Sun Tao smiled slightly and said, "I know, didn't I tell you too?"
Wen Jianjun crossed his fingers first and then put them on the table, "You mentioned last time that Director Zhang is going to use the box office share as a condition to find someone to invest..."
"Alas~~~" Wen Jianjun sighed, "I went to ask specifically. Well, well, he has no friends now. Even those who are very active in making movies are almost like street rats now. < br>
You are not the first straw they encounter. "Wen Jianjun looked at Sun Tao seriously.
After all, Wen Jianjun was the leader of the song and dance troupe, and his connections were not comparable to Sun Tao's. If he wanted to inquire about something, most people wouldn't be able to hide it.
Li Xiaojun said that Wen Jianjun seemed to have sung model operas when he was young, but the campaign ended as soon as he gained some fame. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he was also implicated. After that, he has been working behind the scenes and only drank occasionally. Only when you have more time will you recall your highlight moments.
Sun Tao already understood.
There is no filial son before a long-term illness, let alone a friend. Changying was from 1993 to 2003, almost nine to ten years in between. Those who were optimistic about them and those who liked to play with feelings were probably, maybe 80%, already deceived by them...
There is a movie starring Jia Zhangke himself. He said in the movie: A liar defrauds other people's money, and borrowing money means defrauding relatives and friends!
Can Zhang Huanchun still get the money?
In other words, is there anyone in his circle of friends that he has not cheated on?
Sun Tao was also a little shaken. He was reborn, but he couldn't change the RMB for a while!
Is it an empty joy? ……
McDonald's is not far from Yunlin Hotel, more than 300 meters away, but it took about ten minutes to walk there. The road conditions were not very good, and there were many buildings nearby blocking the sunlight. Although the snow on the road had been cleared, there was still ice underneath. Son, if you don’t look at your eyes when you walk, it’s easy for you to get swollen.
Lao Wen, "Come and walk up here, I would rather walk on the snowy patches than slip and slide."
Sun Tao was a little silent.
Lao Wen grabbed his hand and said, "The script is really good. You have a good chat with him today. Although the film industry has been opened to the outside world, have you noticed that the market is full of "big" Hollywood films? Hong Kong and Taiwan films.
Lao Mouzi's "Hero" is said to be a domestic film, haha, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, and Chen Daoming are from our side, and Zhang Ziyi's role is just a supporting role! ”
Sun Tao said nothing and looked at his feet carefully. He knew all this.
"Although the film market is open, there are twists and turns and complicated interpersonal relationships... It looks deep and confusing, but in fact it is both deep and confusing, and there are whirlpools and undercurrents under the water.
But none of this matters to Changying. He has everything from production approval to release and review, as well as theater channels, but he just doesn’t have good works. ”
It seems that Lao Wen did not say something clearly.
Sun Tao didn't know that he was worried about something, but thinking about it, he just didn't say something because of his worries.
A broken motorcycle was speeding by on the road, and loud music came from the speakers behind it, "The wild waves are an attitude, the wild waves are rising and falling, the wild waves are wild..."
Wen Jianjun, "What kind of nonsense are you singing? It's so loud that the car is going to fall apart."
Sun Tao said nonchalantly, "Well, the song I wrote was sung by Feifei from Huadu, and I don't know who had it pirated again."
Wen Jianjun, "Well~o(*￣▽￣*)o, don't tell me, it doesn't sound good at first listen, but it's quite interesting to listen carefully."
Sun Tao laughed heartily, "Captain, you don't want to be so dismissive of people. If you say it doesn't sound good, just keep it. Your change of tone is full of sarcasm."
Wen Jianjun, "Hey, I'm not joking. The godfather of pop music in 2017, Sun Tao, in your script, I now think is 90% likely to be realized!"
——
"Oh, I'm sorry to make you work in vain. I won't read the script. You keep it. If I hear that a director needs a good script, I will definitely recommend it to you."
Zhang Huanchun was smiling when he said this. People who don't know about it might really think that he killed Sun Tao's script.
On Sunday, January 12, 2003, the temperature was minus 23 to minus 6, and the westerly wind was level 3 to level 4.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the teahouse in the lobby of Yunlin Hotel.
Sun Tao came after the buffet. In fact, when he asked Zhang Huanchun to meet him and told him that he had something to do, and set the time at eight o'clock after dinner, Sun Tao knew about the filming of the movie. It was probably a scam!
If Wen Jianjun hadn't pointed it out in the afternoon, Sun Tao might not have been able to think clearly. He had always thought that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
"I've already written it. Brother Zhang, please help me read it. It's my first time writing a script. If you give me a few pointers and let me learn something, it won't be in vain."
"This, this, this is against the rules. I read your script..."
Sun Tao chuckled, "I still don't believe you."
Zhang Huanchun bit his lip unconsciously, [Stop it, stop it, Lao Zhang, I treat you as a friend and I don’t want to say anything more than that. I welcome you to come for tea...]
[...Why does this pushy guy still have the nerve to do this? Bah. 】
【...I'm sorry our boss is not here...】
[…Our manager has gone to Yangcheng, we don’t know when he will come back…]
