This hot pot restaurant has an installed telephone, Song Mu came to the front desk of the hot pot restaurant, explained to the boss that the phone bill was remitted in the meal money, and then picked up the receiver and dialed the number.

Because Song Mu left work early, neither the studio nor Lianhua had time to get off work. Whether it was a few people from the elite group or her boyfriend Shen Chang, they all said that they would rush over as soon as they received the call.

Because there were five more people, the four-person table that Song Mu and Wang Lun were sitting at was a little small, and the two of them asked the waiter to change to a private room with a large table, and then they began to order something to eat for a while.

It didn't take long to finish ordering, and Shen Chang, who was the farthest away, came over first.

Shen Chang had just separated from Song Mu at noon, and Song Mu didn't understand much on the phone. He was still a little confused, and he didn't know why he had only met at noon, and he had made an appointment to eat hot pot again in the evening.

When he entered the private room and saw Wang Lun, he said with some understanding: "I just said that we just separated at noon, and suddenly called me to eat hot pot at night, it turned out that Wang Lun wanted to have a treat?" ”

Wang Lun was speechless for a moment: "What, you really don't treat your brother as an outsider?" Before drinking, you have to make it clear that this meal is not my treat, it is your partner who wants to invite me. Originally, the two of us, she said that there were more people eating hot pot, so she called you and the people under her hands. ”

"Do you mean that I still have your light?" Shen Chang naturally sat on the seat next to Song Mu and joked with Wang Lun.

"Who's to say it's not?" Wang Lun pointed to the beer piled aside with his chin, "You have to toast me a few drinks when the banquet starts in a while." ”

Song Mu looked at the two bickering with a smile on his face, and he had no intention of stopping it at all.

Shen Chang was only so energetic when he was with himself and Wang Lun. When a fourth person appears, he will be as mature as he used to be.

Song Mu sometimes thinks, is this lively person Shen Chang now? Or is that mature engineer in front of the public Shen Chang?

The three of them talked for a while, and when the dish was almost served, the four people from the elite group also arrived.

Song Mu had already poured beer for everyone, and as soon as a few people entered the private room, Song Mu didn't wait for them to speak, and directly raised his glass and invited: "Come, toast to the future first!" ”

The people present were either childhood sweethearts or colleagues, they knew Song Mu very well, or Song Mu today, and everyone followed her to raise their glasses: "For the future!" ”

Just drink it all.

Song Mu then began to pour the wine again, and after everyone was full, she raised her glass again: "For the nomination!" ”

Everyone except Shen Chang echoed: "For the nomination!" ”

After drinking it all again, Song Mu poured a full glass of wine for everyone for the third time, raised his glass and said, "For Wang Lun!" ”

Although this time it was still sparse and called "for Wang Lun", everyone was a little incomprehensible......

Of course Wang Lun himself understood, but he was embarrassed to respond loudly, so the atmosphere in the box suddenly became a little awkward.

Fortunately, Wang Lun is more sociable, he put down the empty wine glass in his hand, covered the cup with one hand, and started a topic with the other: "I can't drink so much anymore, Shen Chang and I both drove the car......"

In this era, drunk driving was not as strict as later generations, so even though they drove a car, they could also drink with everyone.

Shen Chang nodded approvingly, "I can't drink like this, let's eat some meat." ”

These words have nothing to do with the congratulatory speech, but it is precisely because of these few words that the atmosphere in the private room is lively again.

Wang Xue is also very colorful, she stood up directly to pick up mutton for everyone, and Liu Xiaoping started her gossip.

Because of the shouting of "for Wang Lun", she didn't know what the story was. Director, why should we toast to Wang Lun? Could it be that he has had something happy lately? ”

Hearing her mention this, Wang Lun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as someone asked, talking about it, it wouldn't embarrass him anymore.

"What joy can he have? It's a happy event for us. Song Mu said while adjusting the small material: "I was going to talk to you about this in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to be too good at talking, and you only took the topic away when you only talked about the nomination...... Uh, speaking of nominations, Shen Chang doesn't know yet, right? ”

Seeing that Shen Chang's eyes were becoming more and more confused, Song Mu first briefly told him about the fact that "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" was nominated for a number of awards, and then said that through Wang Lun's matchmaking, W Than Pictures was ready to act as an agent for the overseas distribution rights of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" in a sharing mode.

As soon as the two things were said and done, the expected joyful atmosphere did not come, on the contrary, the private room fell silent for a while.

Seeing that Wang Xueshabu's mutton was about to pass, it was Liu Xiaoping who was the first to break the silence.

"Hiss~~" She took a deep breath of cold air and asked coldly: "Is our "Splitting the Mountain and Saving the Mother" going to have a box office of more than 100 million US dollars like the fourth Ni animation?" Am I going to post it!? ”

It turned out that the reason why they fell silent just now was not because of anything else, but because they were so shocked!

With Liu Xiaoping's beginning, Li Xuelin and others also recovered from the shock and joined in the discussion of overseas issuance income.

Everyone in the elite group came to a relieved moment, and Wang Lun, as an outsider, fell into a deep shock when he listened to it.

Although this film is under the banner of the production committee of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", but under the habit of thinking, he always feels that this film should be from Haishi Art Film Studio, as the leader Song Mu, at most he can get some bonuses.

It wasn't until today that everyone in the elite group talked about the income, and he knew that the income of this film was actually shared, and Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio only accounted for 50% of the income of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother"! What surprised him even more was that not only Xiao Song Mu, but even these people in the elite group actually had dividends!

Seeing these former colleagues at the same table chatting hotly, Wang Lun's mouth couldn't help but have a trace of bitterness.

He made up his mind to jump ship to a foreign company, and the salary of several thousand a month plus various commissions seems amazing, but compared to the honor and money that "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" will bring, what is this income? !

If he hadn't changed jobs, would he have become a member of the elite group?

If he hadn't left the studio at the beginning, then the celebrity of the studio now must be him! Instead of the Song Mu next to him, who has been submissive since he was a child!

You must know that when Song Mu was doing coloring work in obscurity, he had already stood out as a team leader!

The more Wang Lun thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and as his thinking became more and more divergent, Wang Lun gradually got rid of the state of shock, and was replaced by unwillingness and jealousy.

However, people are like this, they only believe what they want to believe, and they always choose to turn a blind eye to the objective facts.

When Song Mu was just a colorist, Wang Lun had indeed become the team leader.

Song Mu is now a celebrity in the studio, and it's right to be the leader of the elite group, but what about everyone else in the studio except for a few people in the elite group? Aren't they all still in their old jobs?

Wang Lun has been in the studio for a long time, if he is really better than Song Mu, why didn't Mao Yongyi set up an elite group specifically for him?

These are all things that Wang Lun can't see now. At the same time as unwillingness and jealousy arose in his heart, Wang Lun was blindfolded by these two negative emotions.

Not only did he regret that he shouldn't have been tempted by a mere 5,000 yuan a month, but he also regretted that he shouldn't have helped Song Mu get the line up and let her earn more money that made him blush.

None of the people present thought that Wang Lun and a few of them would no longer be in the same circle after just a meal.

The nearly twenty-year friendship between Shen Chang, Wang Lun and Song Mu not only did not save Wang Lun at this moment, but instead became an accelerant for the fire of jealousy in his heart......

It was also from this day that Wang Lun and them embarked on a completely different and incompatible path......
