388. Substitute driver
"This is it. ”
Xin Xiaoguang said to Wu Shiying in the passenger seat while driving.
"It's my first time at Pujiang Film Studio. Wang Yinghu, who was sitting in the back row, said, looking at the studio building outside the car window. He is a comic, but everyone in this circle regards Pujiang Film Studio as a dream place, which artist doesn't want his comics to enter the house one day and be electrocuted and widely announced.
He was very excited, he stepped into the studio for the first time today, and he came to talk about a comic he was responsible for.
Xin Xiaoguang and Wu Shiying behaved well, Wang Yinghu saw this, and secretly warned himself to be calm, calm, and have a little aura.
"Teacher Zhang will come down to pick us up shortly. Wu Shiying said, putting away her mobile phone as she spoke.
The three of them waited in the hall for a while, and then they saw Zhang Si striding over, and said to them with a smile: "Come, come this way." ”
Xin Xiaoguang smiled and said, "Boss, it's the first time we've all come here. ”
Zhang Si pressed the elevator, just as the elevator door opened, a group of men and women walked out, calling him Teacher Zhang.
Zhang Si responded one by one, entered the elevator with a few people, pressed the floor button, and then said to Xin Xiaoguang: "Okay, I'll take you around later, there is a special floor in the building that is the exhibition hall." ”
When Xin Xiaoguang heard this, they were eager to try. They are not very old, it can be said that they grew up watching the animation of Pujiang Film Studio, and they have a feeling since they were children, and they regard this place as more than just a company.
However, before visiting the pavilion, the four of them had business to do. Today, they came to talk to the studio about the adaptation of "Dream Travel".
Originally, Xin Xiaoguang and the three of them were negotiating with the studio, but after learning that the boss behind the little red horse was Zhang Si, they wanted to talk to him directly, so they had today's meeting.
Today, Zhang Si did not participate as an employee of the studio, but the boss of the Little Red Horse Comic Studio, and discussed cooperation with the studio.
He specially asked Xin Xiaoguang and the three of them to come an hour early, and had a closed-door meeting in his office first, and then came to the animation department, and met Du Wei, the director of the animation department, and Feng Dong, the leader of the third screenwriting group, in addition to three people, namely the deputy minister of the marketing department, the deputy minister of the legal department, and a deputy minister of the animation department, all know Zhang Si, especially Du Wei and Feng Dong, who have worked together and are very familiar with each other, as for the others, they have all seen it, but they are not familiar with it.
The deputy director of the animation department was the leader opposite, and after talking with Zhang Sixiao for a while, he entered the theme of this meeting and discussed the adaptation of "Dream Travel".
In fact, we have talked a lot before and reached a consensus on cooperation, but now the biggest uncertainty is whether to adapt in the direction of a long-form animated drama or work towards an animated film.
As soon as the direction is determined, the conditions can be discussed, otherwise there is no way to start.
Zhang Si's opinion is to make an animated film, and the animation department tends to be a feature-length animation, thinking that it is safer and the investment is smaller, but it is not excluded to make an animated film, otherwise there would be no meeting.
As for the "Tang Fantasy Night" magazine, they don't care, whether it is a feature-length animation or a movie, it is all good for them, each has its own good.
The goal of Zhang Si and others is to dispel the doubts of the animation department and persuade them to make a movie.
The meeting lasted for an afternoon, and it was not until it was completely dark that a consensus was reached that "Dream Travel" would be a movie, and the conditions were also negotiated, and Little Red Horse Studio also participated in the box office share while receiving a generous adaptation fee.
It was very difficult to negotiate the box office sharing, and finally Zhang Si proposed a gambling agreement, dividing the box office expectation into five grades, and the box office sharing ratio of each grade is different.
The lower the box office, the less share Little Red Horse Studios will get, and vice versa.
"Let's have dinner together in the evening. Said the deputy minister of the animation department.
Zhang sighed and readily agreed.
In fact, the project has not yet been fully finalized, and it still needs to be submitted to the studio director's office meeting for final consideration, where it will be finalized before it is finally implemented.
However, the animation department is confident that there is no big problem.
During the banquet, Zhang Si drank a lot, and the people in the animation department persuaded him to drink, who let him keep "hiding" his identity as the boss of the Little Red Horse Comic Studio, and he didn't jump out until the end.
After eating, someone proposed to continue singing, Zhang Si received a call from Xiaobai at this time, Balabala asked him when he would come back, she had something to look for him.
When I asked, I knew that it was her silkworm baby that hatched, she was excited, and said a lot on the phone, Zhang sighed across the phone, and she could also feel her joy.
Zhang Si made an excuse and asked Xin Xiaoguang and Wang Yinghu to accompany everyone, but he didn't go, and at the same time sent the only girl, Wu Shiying, home.
"Boss, I'll drive you home first. Wu Shiying said. She didn't drink today, she drank drinks.
"That's not good, I'll call the substitute driver, and I'll take you home first. Zhang sighed and waved to the side of the road, and a man in a yellow vest rushed over before everyone could react.
Zhang Si was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, be careful when crossing the street!"
The other party was simply deadly, and rushed directly across the road, how dangerous it would be if a car happened to pass by.
The substitute drivers who were left behind by him scolded one after another:
"This kid is dying, something will happen sooner or later. ”
"I don't want my life, Xiaohu!"
"This two people are stunned. ”
Zhang Si also said a few words about the driving man in front of him, this person looks like he is 27 or 8 years old, tall, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which should be an image that should make people feel close, but because of a slender scar on the right cheek, the scenery is ruined, but fortunately, his smile is very warm and a little silly.
Wu Shiying saw the scar on his face, looked at Zhang Si, and Zhang Si understood the meaning of his eyes, let's change someone, this person looks a little uneasy.
It didn't seem that the other party had encountered this situation for the first time, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay boss, I'm looking at the road." Where is the boss going? I've been driving for 10 years, and I'm very stable. ”
He was afraid that Zhang Si was worried that he would be so reckless in driving, and he didn't want him. This happened and the guest was worried that he was driving recklessly and changed people.
"Boss, where are you going? "The other substitute drivers who were originally on the other side of the road did not give up and followed slowly.
"The boss asked me to come. The scarred man who arrived first pleaded.
Zhang Si hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, drive steadily, let's go, the car is there." ”
"Hey, don't worry, I'm driving very steadily. ”
Zhang Si gave the car key to the other party, got into the car with Wu Shiying, sent Wu Shiying home first, and then returned to Huangjia Village.
When Wu Shiying got out of the car, she was still a little uneasy, and especially told Zhang Si not to sleep in the car and stay awake.
Zhang Si promised not to sleep, but just leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
When the driver heard that he was going to Huangjia Village, he looked up at the rearview mirror, glanced at him, and concentrated on driving.
He's right, he's driving steadily, and he's fast. It didn't take long for the car to stop in the parking lot of Huangjia Village, Zhang sighed and got out of the car, and the other party handed the key back to him, and introduced himself that his name was Xiaohu, Hu Mingkai, and he also lived in Huangjia Village, and he could be found if he needed to drive on behalf of him in the future.
After speaking, Hu Mingkai looked at Zhang Si and smiled.
Zhang Si looked at him again, making sure that he hadn't seen it before, but it was not surprising that Huangjia Village was very large and mixed, and many migrant workers rented houses here to live, and people came and went.
"You're new here, aren't you?" asked Zhang Si.
"Yes, boss, you may not have seen it, I only came here at the beginning of this month, just a week. ”
He wanted to ask for Zhang Si's phone number, but he was too embarrassed to speak, and he didn't have a business card.
"Okay, then leave a phone number, I'll come to you directly if I need it in the future." ”
"Ah, thank you, thank you. ”
Hu Mingkai hurriedly reached into his left trouser pocket and touched the phone, but he didn't find it, and then he touched the right, but he didn't find it, and searched all the pockets on his body, but he still didn't find it.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'll find my phone. ”
Zhang Si reminded funny: "Hang around your neck." ”
“...... Oh yes, I forgot, I'm a pig's brain. Boss, what's your number, I'll dial you. ”
