Chapter 49: The Old Man
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Shang Xuan sat down at the desk and picked up the water cup on the table to drink.
Ji Xincheng stood opposite Shang Xuan across the table, patiently:
"If you dare to do it, it's boring! is about to start the film, and the producer will be changed temporarily, do you dare to say that it is not intended to target Tang Tang? ”
“…… It's just a matter of facts, in my case, anyone who has the ability can go up, and the same is true for the lack of ability. ”
After a while, Shang Xuan put down the water glass, raised his head, and calmly looked into Ji Xincheng's eyes.
Ji Xincheng's hands holding the edge of the table were already clenched into fists, angry and disappointed:
"Backsliding, is it your usual style? Ah Xuan, I don't know what to do to make you feel better, but can you please raise your noble hand and let the others go? If you think I can trade my life for your forgiveness, then you can tell me directly! ”
“…… Nothing else, please get out! I'm still busy. ”
In response to Ji Xincheng's plea, Shang Xuan's eyes did not rise, and he still spoke coldly.
Seeing this, Ji Xincheng had no choice but to turn around and leave Shang Xuan's office.
At the parting glance, a cold light penetrated into Shang Xuan's heart, which made her a little relieved for a while, and her hand holding the water cup stiffened for a long time before gradually falling back to the desk.
took the mobile phone and dialed Si Qian's number, and the other party quickly picked it up:
"Xiaoxuan, what's wrong?"
Shang Xuan paused and asked about the producer's replacement.
"Did you change Tang Tang?"
"I'll explain this to you later."
"Is that the one you replaced?" Shang Xuan asked again.
Si Qian was quiet over there, and then denied it.
"Okay."
Without waiting for Si Qian to answer, Shang Xuan had already closed the line and transferred it to the largest investor of the project.
"Hello Xiao Dong! I'm a small businessman,......"
The other party heard Shang Xuan's voice and was very polite to her:
"Hello Xiaoshang, there must be something important when you call me, right? It doesn't hurt to be straight. ”
"Regarding our new project, I heard that the producer was changed when the film was about to start, which may not be conducive to the next work, after all, she was in charge of the preparation of the previous producer."
"Ah, I know this thing, it's such a situation. It turns out that the producer, we have investigated, is a little girl, after all, she is a little younger, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the follow-up schedule, so here we have changed a producer who we have worked with many times, also for the sake of the overall situation. ”
"Xiao Dong, can you please give me a face, don't change people, if you really think she can't do it, it's OK to have a lot of film co-producers now, what do you think?"
"This ......"
"It's okay Xiao Dong, you think about it and then decide, I'll wait for your news."
Shang Xuan hung up the phone, the phone was still in her hand, she estimated that Xiao Qi had already called Si Qian to discuss it at this time, this matter was not what Si Qian meant, she didn't believe it.
Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, Shang Xuan received a call back from Xiao Qi:
"Little businessman, just do as you say! Si Qian, this kid can have such a good virtuous helper as you, what an enviable blessing! ”
Shang Xuan's tense face eased slightly.
Thinking of Si Qian, since he had already attacked Tang Tang, he was by no means unprepared, but even if he had been preparing for a long time, because Shang Xuan insisted, he compromised again.
This almost unconditional giving to himself made Shang Xuan fall silent again......
-
Tang Tang returned to the crew as a producer, which was unexpected by Ji Xincheng.
She thought of Shang Xuan's reaction at that time, if it was really Shang Xuan's doing, would she let Tang Tang go just because of her heavy words? Could it be that he really misunderstood Shang Xuan? At first, Shang Xuan didn't seem to know about it.
But if it weren't for her, who would be deliberately targeting Tang Tang? Even Tang Tang himself knows that this investment policy is not for the position of the producer, but for Tang Tang himself in this position.
Ji Xincheng didn't have a clue, so he didn't think about it anymore, and brought some snacks to the crew to visit Tang Tang's class.
Tang Tang saw Ji Xincheng, hugged her with a smile, and saw that she brought him a lot of favorite snacks, and just said thank you, which was far from the appearance of holding Ji Xincheng and calling her dearest before.
Ji Xincheng intuitively felt that she had something in mind.
Although Tang Tang's expression seemed to be relaxed and natural.
When she was free, he pulled aside and asked:
"You're all right, are you? Did they embarrass you by letting you go back to the crew? ”
"No, am I so easy to stump someone?"
Having said that, Tang Tang's expression was already a little depressed, and he sighed to himself, but for a moment, as if he no longer insisted on disguise, he took the initiative to debut to Ji Xincheng and Pantuo:
"Although the company asked me to come back, the new producer has not left yet, so let's work together in the mode of double producer."
Ji Xincheng only said that what she minded was this, so he comforted:
"When this project is over, we can negotiate with the company before taking over."
"It's not a big problem to be a double producer, the key is that I know this new producer, who is a senior brother in the previous school."
"Senior brother? Wouldn't it be better if it was an acquaintance? Ji Xincheng was surprised.
"Of course acquaintances with good relationships are good, but if they have a bad relationship, it's not like that!"
"Have you offended him? Which brother, do I know? ”
Ji Xincheng understood this time, and then listened to Tang Tang frowning and explaining:
"Han Fei, you probably don't remember, before I graduated, I mentioned to you that a senior brother had borrowed a video from me, but I didn't agree, it was him. Later, I learned that Han Fei's work was ruined by a competitor at that time, and he temporarily borrowed it from me as an emergency, and I refused without asking, so he paid a large amount of liquidated damages, which I heard from my classmates and alumni intermittently for several years, and we haven't seen each other since then......."
Tang Tang said with annoyance:
"I really regret it, if I had asked two more words, with my situation at the time, it should have been no problem to help him, but I actually ignored it, and sarcastically said that he was fighting for face for the sake of interests...... I feel really hateful when I think about it, and now I deserve to be targeted! ”
"Don't say that, it's not a trivial matter, if you don't get it right at that time, your graduation will be affected, it's not a joke. You just stick to your principles, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”
"But when I think of the time I first entered the school, my senior brother has been helping me a lot, and I don't want to go to this point."
The two were chatting, and a colleague came over to remind Tang Tang, "Sister Tang, it's time for a meeting!" ”
Tang Tang hurriedly got up and told Ji Xincheng, "Don't leave yet, wait for me to eat together, this will end soon!" ”
Leaving Ji Xincheng in the lounge, Tang Tang hurried to the conference room.
The film production meeting, at this point in time, is mainly to give the new producer a chance to meet with everyone, and the time will not be too long.
A few days ago, when Tang Tang saw Han Fei's name on the list, she had already begun to prepare mentally for the meeting, but when she was actually introduced by Han Fei to everyone at the meeting, saying that she was her junior sister, she still couldn't keep up with the rhythm and slowed down for half a time before giving a reaction.
"Tang Tang?"
Tang Tang came back to his senses, and after the man on the stage made an introduction to everyone, he stretched out his hand to Tang Tang, who was sitting in the first row, and said to her:
"I hope that in the future, we can work together as well as we have done in the past."
There was something in his words, Tang Tang was a little distracted, and blurted out official and polite words:
"Senior Brother Han is so polite, I am fortunate to be able to cooperate with Senior Brother, it is my luck! Please advise me! ”
Han Fei glanced at Tang Tang meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
When Tang Tang looked into the other party's eyes from the corner of his eye, he was shocked at the moment, and the full malice happened to be unobstructed in her position.
"Tang Tang."
At the end of the meeting, Tang Tang was stopped on the way back to the lounge.
When she turned around, she saw Han Fei alone, walking towards her.
Han Fei was tall and thin, and there was a pair of thick glasses on the bridge of his nose in the past, Tang Tang didn't remember what the eyes looked like behind the lenses, but only remembered that those eyes had given her the feeling that they were tolerant and gentle.
If the biggest difference between Han Fei in front of him and the past should be these eyes, he no longer wears framed eyes, so that people can see the hidden or visible emotions at a glance.
Lonely, cold and arrogant, as well as contempt and disdain, Tang Tang saw there at the moment.
"Senior Brother Han."
"Let's talk, shall we?"
He asked, but he didn't mean to listen to the other party's opinion, but walked straight to the outdoor lawn that turned out of the corridor.
Tang Tang hesitated and raised his heels.
"Do you know what the conditions I asked me to join this group were?"
The two came to a white rattan table and chair on the grass, one table and two chairs, Han Fei sat on one and Tang Tang stood next to the other chair.
Hearing Han Fei's question, Tang Tang shook his head.
The other party naturally knew that she didn't know, and he didn't want to hide it from her:
"My only condition is to replace you."
Although Tang Tang knew in his heart that Han Fei would not forgive himself easily, she was still stunned when the other party met for the first time after many years and expressed his disgust to her naked face to face.
Han Fei was surprised when he saw her, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be so capable."
He paused and said, "Then don't blame me for being unkind Tang Tang, I don't have the habit of cooperating with others to make it, please be mentally prepared." ”
As he spoke, he gave her a cold glance like a knife, and then got up to leave.
"Senior Brother Han!"
Tang Tang stopped the person and walked up to him, the arrogant woman who never bowed her head easily to others did not have the spirit of the past at this time, and sincerely apologized to him.
"I don't know the reason for what happened back then, otherwise it would ......"
"How else?"
The man's eyes turned cold, "Do you know the reason and are you willing to help?" Take the risk of graduation that may come with it? You ask yourself Tang Tang, that's impossible! I don't hate you for not helping me at all, or even falling into the well, I just hate, I regarded it as the most trusted confidant, and reserved the most suitable position for her before she graduated, but in the end, it was her own passion! I want to hate, and I hate only myself! ”
When Tang Tang was a freshman, Han Fei was already a junior, she entered this school with average grades, and when she came into contact with the university life full of talents, she deeply felt the pressure of competition, and once wanted to give up, but it was the head of a club that she joined by chance at that time who encouraged her, and that person was Han Fei.
Tang Tang, who was unconditionally encouraged and accompanied by Han Fei, made rapid progress, which can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, and in his sophomore year, Tang Tang's professional achievements were already the focus of the conversation among the teachers in the hospital, and at that time, Han Fei was faced with the choice of starting a business or continuing his studies after graduation, and fell into confusion.
Tang Tang had a wild temperament, and changed his way to make him obey his inner choice, and finally Han Fei chose to start a business.
In the first year of entrepreneurship, it was fruitful as expected, but Han Fei was young in the end, no matter how strong his professional ability was, he would be in trouble if he didn't understand human feelings, and when he encountered something in his second year, he thought of Tang Tang, who was the only person he could ask for support at that time.
At that time, Tang Tang was busy with the filming of the graduation design video, and she was busy with the film for half a year.
When the whole person was dizzy, he was not so sensitive to changes in the outside world, and now that he thought about it, if he really asked about Han Fei's situation at that time, would he really be willing to take the risk that he might not be able to finish his job and help Han Fei?
The current question, when asked about Tang Tang's pain, her eyes were hot, and she burst into tears.
“…… I'm sorry! ”
It seems that there are only these three words that can be said.
However, Han Fei not only didn't seem to hear it, but also intensified the disgust in his eyes, snorted coldly, and strode away, not looking at Tang Tang again.
