Chapter 141 Picking up the leak
“When are you going back to school?”
“What’s wrong?”
Zhang Chen was curious as to why Dong Jianqiang was so concerned about this.
Dong Jianqiang took a sip of tea and then slowly explained the reason.
It turns out that during the previous period of scolding, those old writers were not idle. They actually wanted to use off-board moves.
At that time, someone found the school and demanded that Zhang Chen be punished, otherwise he would do whatever he wanted.
Don’t underestimate these writers. I don’t know how good their writing skills are, but they are still very capable of getting things done.
My own students were one of the most criticized parties in the public opinion war, and the school was under a lot of pressure. Some teachers suggested that Zhang Chen was doing this to discredit the school, and suggested that Zhang Chen be punished.
At this time, Teacher Fu stood up, argued with reason, and tried his best to protect his students.
At the same time, I persuade the school leaders, not asking for their support, but at least I can't cut the salary from the bottom.
Later, the school leaders were persuaded and the punishment was stopped, and finally nothing happened.
Zhang Chen didn’t know anything about this matter. Teacher Fu didn’t mention it at all, and neither did Dong Jianqiang.
But now that the matter is over, I must express my gratitude to the teacher.
"I have prepared everything for you, two bottles of Xifeng Huashan Sword Theory, you can pay the teacher for this one..."
The two are old friends, and Dong Jianqiang is clear about the teacher's preferences.
Then in the afternoon Zhang Chen drove the company car back to Nortel with gifts, and came to thank him for asking for leave.
The car is a second-hand Audi, purchased in the name of the company, and is mainly used for daily transportation.
Parking the car near the school, Zhang Chen carried the gift and walked towards the guidance building.
Teacher Fu is the deputy director of the Directing Department, and he usually stays there when he has nothing to do.
It is already the end of November, the end of the semester, and there are only a few days left before the winter vacation. This is also the busiest time for students, who are usually preparing for the final exam.
I arrived at the second floor of the guidance building with ease. As soon as I went upstairs, I heard the sound of Teacher Fu chatting with other teachers in the office.
"Student You is amazing. His box office exceeded 100 million in his junior year. His future achievements will be incredible~"
A teacher gave a sour compliment.
Teacher Fu's voice sounded: "It's awesome, and it's also awesome to get into trouble. As a teacher, I have to suffer a lot just to wipe his butt every day..."
Teacher Fu's tone was full of disgust, but there was a smile on his face. Anyone who looked at him would know that this guy was in Versailles.
Zhang Chen just walked to the door at this time and knocked on the door: "Teacher, your troublemaker is here to see you..."
"Hey, you kid, you didn't even come. Let me tell you in advance..."
Teacher Fu was a little embarrassed about being caught in front of others for saying bad things, but he immediately returned to normal.
Labour and management are his teachers, so why don’t you just say a few words?
Zhang Chen walked in with a smile, greeted the teachers, and then put the gifts in his hands on the table.
“I bought this specially to honor the teacher. Thank you for helping me to avoid misfortunes at school. The other two bottles of wine were sent to you by Brother Dong, saying that you like to drink this. ”
It is impossible for Zhang Chen to take advantage of Dong Jianqiang. Everyone has his own opinion.
"Hey, you are thoughtful, please thank me for me."
What Zhang Chen brought was not something valuable. If it was really valuable, it would not be delivered to the office.
Doesn't that bring trouble to Lao Fu?
What he sent was some high-end pastries, high-end fruits, Jingba items and the like, all worthless things.
"Come on, come on, come and taste the benefits brought by my proud disciples..."
Teacher Fu was very proud, and the other teachers also smiled and thanked him, and followed Lao Fu to take advantage. Not the first time.
At this time, Teacher Fu put on a teacher's air again: "What, are you not planning to take the exam this semester again?"
"Teacher, you also know that I have to go to Hollywood soon, and there is still a movie waiting for me. I haven't been able to live at home for years. Do you think..."
Zhang Chen scratched his head. He still had a movie waiting for me today. I really came to ask for leave.
“Okay, okay, I had already guessed that you would be like this. I have already approved the note for you.”
In terms of teaching, Nortel is much more relaxed than China Theater. .
Chinese Opera requires that you are not allowed to take on roles before your sophomore year. Unless you are at the level of Zhang Yimou and Chen Poet, you are not allowed to do so. You must stay in school to learn basic skills.
Nortel is much more relaxed. Nortel believes that practice is more important than theory, and they recognize the importance of opportunities, so as long as students have scenes to film, they generally won't be stuck.
After receiving the note, Zhang Chen expressed his gratitude. At this time, Teacher Fu asked about his new movie.
"What are you going to do after "Shark Tank"?"
"I have a film contract with New Line. I will go to Hollywood to film the film during the Spring Festival."
Teacher Fu nodded: "After that, I heard from my boss some time ago that you wrote a script. How is it going?"
"Oh, you're talking about "Manslaughter". The script has almost been written, and preparations haven't started yet. When filming starts, it will probably be after the new year at the earliest."
Teacher Fu nodded: "Actually, it is The teachers in the acting department wanted to ask me if there are any suitable roles for their students..."
Only then did Zhang Chen understand that it was because of this. No wonder he felt that the teachers next to him were all All ears pricked up.
"The script has not been filed yet, the actors have not been decided, and preparations have not yet started. If there is a suitable role by then, I will definitely consider junior brothers and sisters."
Hear Zhang Chen said this, and the faces of several teachers around him showed smiles.
Every year, their biggest concern is employment. Those who graduate from Nortel's majors generally have no worries about filming.
But whether you can get ahead depends on your luck.
Zhang Chen is now the only director in China who has exceeded 100 million yuan. If he is willing to support him, it will be equivalent to winning the Double Color Ball Award for new actors.
“By the way, you are now a billionaire director, so you don’t want to give back to the school?”
"Feedback? How to give back?" Zhang Chen didn't understand what Teacher Fu meant?
"The principal wants you to give a speech to everyone and share your successful experience."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Chen immediately wanted to refuse, but Teacher Fu spoke first: "This is The tasks assigned to me by the principal require me to complete them, otherwise it will affect my next job evaluation."
Uh...
Zhang Chen felt speechless, this principal is too stupid. .
Teacher Fu looked at Zhang Chen with a smile. The more he looked at his proud disciple, the more he liked him. If his daughter wasn't of the wrong age, he would have to introduce him to her at all costs.
"I just want to talk about your experience in making movies casually, and I'm not asking for your brain. Is it harder to share an experience than to yell at someone?"
Teacher Fu said this, Zhang Chen was speechless.
Duck his head: "Okay, I can prepare in advance when it will be specific."
"The time is up to you, it is best to choose it before the holiday."
This time it was completely out of the question, even Zhang Chen's idea of dragging the word was useless.
After chatting with Teacher Fu for a while, Zhang Chen left Nortel.
As soon as I got into the Audi, the phone rang. It was Huang Lei.
I didn’t want to answer, but Zhang Chen still pressed the connect button: “Teacher Huang Lei~”
“Zhang Chen, I just went to class, and I didn’t know you were here until I came back. I heard your new project is called "Manslaughter"?
"Yes, "Manslaughter"."
Zhang Chen thought that Huang Lei also wanted to find opportunities for his students, but the latter said: "I actually want to ask, you, "Manslaughter" The heroine hasn’t been decided yet. Is it possible for Xu Qing to play the role?”
Huh?
Why is this guy still thinking about this?
The characters in "Eden Lake" were thinking about Xu Qing before, but now that they have heard about "Manslaughter", they are still thinking about her.
What, is Xu Qing your crush?
The key point is that Zhang Chen specifically asked Xu Qing that the two were just ordinary friends, and Huang Lei had no reason to be so concerned.
A feeling of disgust came over him, as if his toy was coveted by others. Zhang Chen didn't even bother to deal with it and hung up the phone directly.
Huang Lei on the other end of the phone seemed to feel something. He looked at the hung up phone and did not dare to dial again.
He still remembered the embarrassment Zhang Chen gave him during the last meal.
When I returned to Xu Qing's place, I happened to hear the greasy uncle complaining.
“That kid Zhang Chen, I heard that his new film is about to be prepared, so I asked you if the heroine can be given to you, but this guy can’t get it right either. He is a great director. Don’t take me as a teacher seriously~"
Xu Qing looked at Zhang Chen while answering the phone, with a smile on her lips, but she said perfunctorily: "Yeah, actually, he has already told me , let me have time to audition, and I would like to thank Teacher Huang Lei for his help~"
Huang Lei on the other end of the phone thought that Xu Qing received the audition notice after he called Zhang Chen, and he was cheerful Show off: "I see, it seems that this guy is not trying to offend me. Okay, then you can go to the audition with peace of mind, and I will help you find out the results..."
He didn't dare. He said it to death, but his words kept hinting that it was Huang Lei's credit for Xu Qing's ability to audition.
Xu Qing did not expose it, but kept saying thanks.
Zhang Chen is quite disgusting to be around.
......
The next day, he finally got a piece of good news that made him feel much better - "Wulin Gaiden" was successfully won.
Dong Jianqiang made an appointment with Shang Jing and Ning Caishen for lunch.
"Wulin Gaiden" is the project of Shang Jing and Ning Caishen.
Shang Jing had already filmed "Story of the Cooking Class" before "Wulin Gaiden", which is regarded as the first military sitcom in China.
"Wulin Gaiden" basically follows the team of "The Story of the Cooking Class".
Ning Caishen is a very talented guy. His real name is Zhang Wanning. He is from Shanghai. He started out as an Internet writer and wrote articles, jokes, and short stories when the Internet was just emerging.
At that time, those who wrote humorously could basically become famous.
"First Intimate Contact" is a similar situation.
It is said that the name 'Ning Caishen' is a homophony of Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story".
In the 1990s, this man started writing novels online, and later became the operations director of "Under the Banyan Tree".
Under the Banyan Tree was very good in those two years. It was a gathering place for young people, and Maopu was known as the two holy places on the Internet. The status is similar to the current Douyin.
After 2000, Ning Caishen turned to screenwriting and wrote "Diary of an Internet Bug", "Urban Man and Woman" and "Healthy Express".
It's amazing. It is said that he earned his first 3 million yuan at the age of 19, which is more than most people in China.
Later, I thought about making a costume sitcom, which led to "Wulin Gaiden".
It's just that the project of "Wulin Gaiden" has always been difficult. Costume dramas are notoriously expensive, and sitcoms are low-cost. When these two opposite things are combined, many people don't want to Be optimistic.
Then, Zhang Chen missed it.
