Chapter 9: Good News
When Tang Feng returned to Charlie's house, it was already dark.
Charlie was sitting on the couch, fiddling with his baby camera, while Angela was sitting on the other side of the couch with her mouth pouted, puffing out.
Seeing that Tang Feng was back, Angela immediately complained aggrievedly: "Brother, Charlie said that you want to make a movie together, but he said that I was too young to let me join, and he didn't let me touch his camera." ”
"I want to make a movie with you too, even if it's just for me to play a small role, okay brother?"
Tang Feng patted her little brain melon and said with a doting smile: "Of course you can, but our little princess has to finish his homework first, and he has to clean himself up beautifully." ”
When her wish was fulfilled, Angela became happy and proudly showed off to Charlie: "Brother agreed, give me your baby." ”
Charlie smiled helplessly, then handed the camera to Angela, "Be careful, don't break it." ”
He took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator next to him, handed one to Tang Feng, and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"
"Ah, that's comfortable!"
Tang Feng ripped off the pull ring, drank a big sip of Coke, and hiccuped comfortably, before he replied unhurriedly: "It's nothing, it's going well." ”
"Well, I just had a little trouble at the police station, but it's all solved now. ”
As she spoke, Mary walked out of the kitchen with a knife and asked nervously, "Why did you go to the police station?"
Seeing Mary's nervous appearance, Tang Feng's heart warmed inexplicably, knowing that she had misunderstood, so he explained: "Mary, it's not what you think. ”
"Because there is a very important scene in my movie that requires the permission of the police station to be filmed, I will go to the police station. ”
"I didn't expect that in the bounty poster posted on the wall, there was the crocodile I killed, so I ......"
After listening to the whole process, Charlie immediately shouted excitedly: "Sean, I have to say, you are really lucky!"
"In this way, we have another 5,000 dollars more money for filming. Haha, that's great!"
Angela's face flushed with excitement, "Oh, I'm going to act in a movie!"
Mary was relieved when she knew that Tang Feng was fine, but she seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything, so she returned to the kitchen with a knife, and said, "William will be back soon, you can clean up the table, and the meal will be on time in an hour." ”
Seeing that her expression was a little wrong, Tang Feng chatted with Charlie for a few more words and then came to the kitchen, and then said while neatly peeling the potatoes: "Aunt Mary, I heard your conversation last night. ”
Mary paused, then put down the potatoes in her hand and said, "Sean, don't think about it. ”
"William and I both know you love movies, so we're not going to stop you from making movies. But ......"
After a moment's hesitation, Mary continued, "But I think college is more important to you than making movies, don't you think?"
Listening to her words, Tang Feng was silent.
Although Mary said it very tactfully, Tang Feng understood what she meant.
The so-called inappropriate family doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, Charlie and Angela don't know the pressure of adults, so they will unconditionally support him to make movies, and naively think that this will be a quick success.
But Mary doesn't think so, she thinks that Tang Feng is completely unprofessional in doing this, and instead of wasting money on making movies, it is better to go to college down-to-earth, so that they can develop in the future and relieve their pressure.
Tang Feng knew that what Mary said was right, but she didn't know her own situation, so she had such thoughts.
Seeing that Tang Feng didn't speak, Mary also secretly regretted it in her heart, she felt that she shouldn't have said those words at this time, "He is a sensible child, maybe he will figure it out in a few days." ”
"Even if he really wants to shoot, I should support him, and now that he and Angela are my children, how can I hit him like this?"
After a moment of silence, Mary said, "Don't worry, my dear. If you really want to shoot, go for it, we've got your back!"
"By the way, Julia has agreed to Angela staying here for the time being. When we packed our things, we also brought you some clothes and put them in the garage. ”
Tang Feng nodded heavily, and then silently peeled the potatoes again, he didn't explain anything.
He knew that Mary wasn't blaming him for anything, she was just worried about him, and he could only completely dispel Mary's worries by speaking with facts and coming up with results as soon as possible.
Soon, the table was full of sumptuous dinners, and William returned home on time.
Unexpectedly, he heard that Tang Feng was going to make a movie, but he was very supportive of Tang Feng's idea, and even raised his wine glass with some excitement, "Good job, Sean!
As if infected by William, Mary also poured herself half a glass of red wine, then raised her glass and said, "Sean, I apologize to you for what I said earlier." As your parent, I shouldn't stop you from pursuing your dreams. ”
"Whatever you want to do, be brave enough to do it, and I wish you success!"
Charlie and Angela were very happy, but Tang Feng felt a little choked. I saw him stand up, his eyes were red, and he said seriously: "Uncle William, Aunt Mary, and my best brother Charlie, I really thank you for taking me and Angela selflessly, and thank you for giving me a wonderful home!"
"I heard your conversation yesterday, and I realized how much pressure you were under to take us in, and how worried you were when I was behaving like something out of business. ”
"Please believe me, you can also give me a little time, I will definitely prove with the facts, I am not fooling around!"
After Tang Feng finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Mary lowered her head in embarrassment, and Charlie and Angela also stared at everyone with wide eyes, not knowing what was going on.
William guessed a little, glared at Mary, and said in a serious tone: "Child, don't be pressured, just do what you want, and we'll take care of the rest." ”
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little heavy, William quipped again: "It's too early for us to think about this, maybe you two boys can really toss a piece of the world, haha." ”
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
Before William's words fell, he was interrupted by a phone ringing, Mary stood up to answer the phone, and immediately became nervous after saying a few words, "Sean, it's a call from the Eastern Police Department, and an officer named Annie is looking for you!"
Tang Feng hurriedly comforted Mary and took the phone, "Hello Annie, I'm Tang Feng, do you have anything to do with me at this time?"
On the other side of the phone, Anne seemed to be very excited, and when she heard Tang Feng's voice, she couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Sean, I want to tell you good news!"
"Hunter had just called Wilton, a friend of Hunter's and a businessman who rents film and television equipment. ”
"When he heard about your situation, he offered to rent you the equipment for filming, and you only need to pay a part of the deposit, and then sign a contract with him to pay the full amount after the film is released. ”
"Of course he needs to read your script before he can decide whether to do it or not, I will give you his phone number and address now, please contact him as soon as possible. ”
Tang Feng was a little dazed, he didn't expect Hunter to take the initiative to help him, it stands to reason that he could agree to assist him in filming, which is already very incredible.
If he can really get the necessary equipment for free now, and then wait until the movie is released to pay for it with the box office share, it will save a lot of money in the early stage, and then he will be more confident that the movie will be made well!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Anne was a little anxious and explained: "Mr. Sean, you also said in the afternoon that you only have more than 30,000 US dollars, so I forced Hunter to find his old friend. ”
"I know it's a bit abrupt to do this without your permission, but please believe in my kindness, I just want to repay you. ”
"It's going to cost you a little bit more, but I think it will help you with a little bit of a lack of money. You, you don't blame me, do you?"
How could Tang Feng blame her? It's too late to thank her!
Compared with being able to successfully finish the movie according to his vision, the extra interest is simply not worth mentioning!
With such conditions, he doesn't have to rent a camera to shoot, but can really make his own movies as he wants!
Two cameras, even four positions, six positions, long-distance moving guides, large rocker arms......
Thinking about that kind of scene, it makes Tang Feng's blood boil, that is the real movie!
"Hey, Mr. Sean, did you hear what I said?"
"Hey, are you still on the phone?"
Annie's urging finally brought Tang Feng back to his senses, Tang Feng was very excited, and couldn't stop thanking: "Thank you so much!"
"You don't know how much of a problem you helped me solve!"
"Thank you so much! Annie, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met, no wonder Hunter loves you so much, haha!"
Listening to his nonsense, Anne blushed and said angrily: "Flamboyant little villain, hurry up and write down Wilton's phone number and address." ”
After jotting down Wilton's phone number and address, he thanked Anne again before hanging up.
He didn't call Wilton right away, but planned to go to his office tomorrow with the script and talk to him about renting equipment in person, which he thought would be more formal.
The sudden good news broke the awkward atmosphere in an instant, and also let everyone see his hope of success, and soon the atmosphere of the whole restaurant became warm.
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Tang Feng, only William, who didn't understand the situation, looked at everyone with a puzzled face.
"I said, what the hell is going on, you can tell me. ”
"Why did the police officer at the police department find Sean?"
"And why would she help Sean? As far as I know, those guys aren't that selfless. ”
Tang Feng was just about to explain to him what happened to him at the police station, but Charlie drank Coke comfortably, and teased with a wicked smile: "Dad, let's let Mom tell you about the happy hour before bedtime, haha." ”
Suddenly, Old William's face was flushed with shame, "Stinky boy, it's against you, and the pocket money in the future has been canceled!"
Charlie hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't cancel, dear dad, what do you want to hear, I'll tell you now......"
So, Charlie and Angela were arguing while telling William what happened to Tang Feng at the police station. William listened intently, while Mary and Tang Feng kept smiling and watching them play tricks.
Seeing everyone's happy appearance, Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It was nice to feel at home!
