Chapter 22: Chance Encounters on the Construction Site
An hour later, Xu Zhuo and Wang Sicheng got off the bus and appeared in front of the ceremony where the Zhongzhou Group and the municipal government signed an agreement yesterday, that is, the huge land that the Zhongzhou Group had finalized for development.
I have to say that the efficiency of Zhongzhou Group is extremely high.
Yesterday was the official signing of the development agreement, and this year, there are more than a dozen excavators, bulldozers and forklifts on this land.
In addition, large earthmoving trucks are constantly carrying sand and dirt in and out, and a large group of uniformly dressed workers are noisy and shouting, which looks extremely lively.
"Listen, Xu Zhuo, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have listed the development of this land as a key development project in Jianghuai City, and the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee has asked our TV station to cooperate with Zhongzhou Group to publicize it well and show people the good value of this land as much as possible, so ......"
"Wait!" Xu Zhuo raised his hand to interrupt Wang Sicheng's words. "Since it's such an important project, why are the two of us running here? You don't think I can do it all by myself, do you? Besides, why don't you go to Brother Mao and them, what are you looking for me to do? ”
Wang Sicheng glanced at Xu Zhuo with disdain: "I don't expect that much from you." The station is preparing to get a special column for this matter, Brother Mao is discussing the column arrangement with Director Sun, and Xiao Zhou and they are also busy with other work, so they came to you. ”
Xu Zhuo rolled his eyes.
To put it bluntly, because I couldn't find anyone, I had to come to him.
This is also a helpless thing, Jianghuai TV is a small TV station after all, and good talents have been picked up by Jiangnan Provincial TV Station, it would be good to be able to find a few qualified cameramen, how can there be so many enough people to meet all needs.
Therefore, in addition to taking on a lot of work other than photography, Xu Zhuo is often seconded to other departments in the station, and this situation is often encountered today.
"Let me remind you again, don't underestimate this work. The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee is staring at it, if it is not done well, and the uncles of the Propaganda Department are unhappy, the whole station will be punished, and your little camera will definitely not be able to run in the end! Seeing that Xu Zhuo didn't seem to care too much, Wang Sicheng warned in an aggravated tone.
Xu Zhuo sneered, thinking that I am indeed just a small cameraman, but you Wang Sicheng is just a small planner of the advertising department, how much better can you be than me.
Wang Sicheng wanted to say more, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people in the distance out of the corner of his eye, and immediately looked uplifted, abandoned Xu Zhuo, took three steps and made two steps, and trotted all the way to catch up.
Xu Zhuo glanced at it from a distance and found that the group of people should be the leaders who came to inspect the work of the construction site, no wonder Wang Si ran over like a dog that smelled meat.
He wasn't interested in getting close to the group of leaders, but picked up the camera and began to film the situation in this huge construction site at random.
If the station really plans to make a special program around the development of this land, then the main person in charge of photography must be Brother Mao, what he is shooting now will only be used as a reference material at most, so he doesn't shoot very carefully.
However, it was such a careless action that attracted the attention of others.
"Hey! That one over there, what are you doing? Who asked you to shoot casually? A fat man in work clothes and a hard hat ran over tremblingly, panting and scolding Xu Zhuo loudly from afar.
The fat man's shout attracted the attention of the others in the venue, and even the group of leader-like people who led Wang Sicheng over to inspect the work also looked over.
"I'm from the TV station, so I'm here to shoot some materials." Xu Zhuo took out the sign on his chest and gestured to the fat man who rushed over.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, took Xu Zhuo's sign and looked at it carefully twice, confirmed that it was correct, and then put his mind at ease.
As one of the site leaders of this construction site, he is certainly very clear about the cooperation between Zhongzhou Group and Jianghuai TV.
But......
"You have a camera on your TV station? What is enough? The fat man's gaze at Xu Zhuo was still full of suspicion.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Sicheng also discovered the abnormal movement here, and hurriedly ran back again.
"Hey, Director Zhao, I'm Xiao Wang of Jianghuai City TV Station, and we had dinner at the same table yesterday. Today, I brought this colleague over to shoot some preliminary materials to prepare for the next film. You see......"
After Wang Sicheng's unified explanation, the fat man finally really put his mind at ease.
But at this time, the leaders who came to inspect the work came over again.
Xu Zhuo turned his head to look at it, and was stunned for a moment.
In the group of people who put on a leader's appearance, there were just other people, and the one who walked in the middle was actually a young man who looked younger than him, mixed in with a group of middle-aged people who were full of official appearance, which looked extremely eye-catching.
But judging from the attitude of the people around him towards him, and the posture of the stars holding the moon to make him stand in the middle, his status is the highest among this group of people.
However, what really stunned Xu Zhuo was not the status of this young man, but the young man...... It was the person who had contact with him at the door of the hotel yesterday!
The young man turned his head to look, his gaze happened to meet Xu Zhuo, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued to talk and laugh with the others around him as he pretended not to care.
After a few moments, the young man led the group away and towards another part of the construction site.
After Wang Sicheng said a few words to the chubby Director Zhao, he turned around and explained to Xu Zhuo, turned around and followed quickly.
Xu Zhuo watched Wang Sicheng chase after him with a little amusement, thinking that just because you are a small person, you also want to have a relationship with those big people? It's too much to think about.
Wang Sicheng was not there, but Xu Zhuo was more comfortable.
After telling Director Zhao that he wanted to pat casually around, and after getting permission, he walked around the construction site and patted at will.
Later, he not only took pictures at the construction site, but also in the surrounding wasteland where construction had not started.
Since the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee made it clear that it wanted the TV station to support the development of this land, the column made by the station must be to publicize how good this land is.
He and Mao Jianjun have also cooperated many times, and they know his shooting style very well, and now that he knows the planning goal, I believe that the video materials he gets back will definitely satisfy Mao Jianjun.
This is this, but Wang Sicheng, a layman who knows nothing about photography, is not qualified to interfere.
Walking around and patting like this, before I knew it, it was more than two hours.
Seeing that the sun had come overhead, and it was close to noon, Xu Zhuo put down the camera, planning to rest for a while and find a place to settle lunch.
When I was thinking about whether to say something to Wang Sicheng, I saw Wang Sicheng running over from nowhere.
When he came to Xu Zhuo, the expression on his face looked a little strange, and he even circled around Xu Zhuo.
"Hey, what are you doing? Is there anything nice about me? Xu Zhuo couldn't help but ask.
"No...... It's nothing......" Wang Sicheng shook his head a little dazedly, and then seemed to react suddenly, and actually ran over to hold Xu Zhuo's arm, making a flattering appearance. "That, Xu Zhuo...... I'll be honest with my brother, you...... When did you meet Sha Gongzi? ”
"Sand Boy?" Xu Zhuo only felt inexplicable, took a step back, and broke free of Wang Sicheng's arm. "What sand boy? Who's that? I don't know. ”
"Don't know? How could Sand Boy ...... Ahem, okay, it's okay, you ...... Well, come with me, someone wants to see you. ”
"Who?" Xu Zhuo frowned, puzzled.
"Just follow me. It's a good thing to rest assured. ”
Wang Sicheng directly grabbed Xu Zhuo's arm and dragged him to the outside of the construction site.
Xu Zhuo followed behind in wonder, and the two came to the gate outside the construction site, and just after waiting for a while, the sound of the engine roaring suddenly came from behind.
"Why is this sound so familiar?" Xu Zhuo looked back in amazement, and saw an equally familiar bright yellow sports car rushing from a freshly paved road next to the construction site with billowing smoke and dust.
In the blink of an eye, the bright yellow sports car had stopped in front of the two of them, bringing up a puff of smoke.
Wang Sicheng couldn't help coughing twice, but he still kept a smile on his face, trotted to the bright yellow sports car, bent down, and showed a humble smile.
The door went up, and as expected, the young man sat inside, his eyes staring straight at Xu Zhuo, and the look in his eyes was slightly strange.
"Sha Gongzi, I brought the person you are looking for, you can take a look at ......" Wang Sicheng pointed to Xu Zhuo with a smile and introduced it to the young man.
The young man got out of the car, glanced up and down, and snorted coldly.
"So you're not dead yet."
