Chapter 10: Fellow countryman
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Zhang pushed the cart out of the house.
Zhang Qiusheng naturally helped her bring the two large pots of soup pot brine raw materials to the car.
She won't put fish balls, radish, bean skin, beef offal, and hot vegetables into the brine, otherwise she won't be able to hold it at all, and after soaking in the soup for a long time, it will be soft or melted, and it won't taste good at all.
So these are all placed in a large box, together with a portion of noodles, in the lower left space of the trolley, where there are two small gas tanks, which is really a bit heavy.
After Aunt Zhang left, Zhang Qiusheng continued to write his own script in the room.
The Xiangjiang in March is not hot, but the taste of the brine and ingredients is indeed not very good, Zhang Qiusheng is to open the outside window, let the cool breeze blow in, it is better.
Compared to this somewhat pungent smell, it is not worth mentioning to have such a good new neighbor as Aunt Zhang.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Qiusheng went out to eat a bowl of rice noodles casually, and then walked around, but found that the surrounding environment was not very good, and he could see gangsters haunting from time to time.
And at night, after people return home, those trivial things in the house often make them noisy, and from the roadside back to the rented house, Zhang Qiusheng heard no less than five residents arguing.
Before he went home and opened the door, Zhang Qiusheng noticed that the kitchen light in the rental house was on.
When he went in to take a look, he saw that on the small dining table, there was a big fat man with an inch head of at least two hundred pounds, who was snoring and drinking porridge, and there were pineapple buns, rice rolls, and steamed dumplings next to him, all of which were contained in plastic lunch boxes.
"You ......"
Seeing Zhang Qiusheng open the door and come in, he didn't look like an intermediary, and the fat man who looked a little clear and beautiful stopped his chopsticks and said suspiciously: "Are you ...... Aunt Zhang's son? Why didn't Ayu come? No, today isn't the day Ayu came over......"
Seeing that he had said so much in one go, Zhang Qiusheng said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Zhang Qiusheng, and I just moved in today, and I am the third tenant here...... You're the big brother who works in a tea restaurant, right? ”
"Oh...... Yes? ”
The fat man stood up, but he was stunned: "Young man, you ...... You can't be fooled, right? Do you rent this house? ”
"No, they made it clear to me, Aunt Zhang is selling car noodles, big brother, you like to hang your voice."
Zhang Qiusheng shrugged and said, "I think it's good, it's human, and it won't be impossible to hear people talking in the house all day long, and there is no sound of doing things." ”
"Hey!"
The fat man looked at Yin Jun and smiled dumbly, "You are really a weirdo." ”
After a pause, he pointed to his side, "Have you eaten?" I didn't eat it, so let's eat some together. ”
"I went out to eat, and I went to eat Yongji rice noodles at the corner of the street." Zhang Qiusheng walked over and sat down.
"But the taste is a little lighter, and Yuedong cuisine is not good at all."
"Yes, Yuedong cuisine is not refreshing, and it is not as good as our Huajing cuisine."
The fat man laughed, sighed again, and then laughed again, "By the way, young man, why did you come out to live alone at such a young age?" What about your parents' family? ”
"I am an orphan who just came from the mainland, and I only got my ID card today, so I naturally moved out of my relative's house." Zhang Qiusheng said calmly.
"Wow, you're also from the mainland?"
The fat man was pleasantly surprised, pointed to himself, and said in a slippery Chinese: "I am also from the mainland, Huajing, and I have been in Xiangjiang for 5 years!" We're fellow countrymen! ”
Okay.
As long as they come from the mainland, they are all fellow villagers.
But he said it well, Zhang Qiusheng smiled and said, "I'm from Xiangbei!" We are one family from all over the world! ”
"Haha, yes!"
The fat man was happy, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhang Qiusheng, but when he saw that his hands were greasy, he quickly wiped them on his body, and then stretched out his hand again and said in his smooth Jingpi words: "My name is Wei Xiaofan, 32 years old!" What about you? ”
"My name is Zhang Qiusheng and I am 16 years old." Zhang Qiusheng shook hands with him and said.
"It's not easy, you came out at the age of 16 to live by yourself, your relatives ......"
Wei Xiaofan was a little familiar, and frowned a little as he spoke.
"It's not a very close relative, people can take me in and help me get an ID card, that's already interesting."
Zhang Qiusheng understood what he meant and explained: "Besides, it's not easy for everyone, I have my own hands and feet, am I still afraid of starving?" ”
"That's right! Clear! Atmosphere! ”
Wei Xiaofan stretched out his thumb, "Our people from the mainland, whether old or young, are not cowardly!" You haven't found a job yet, have you? It just so happened that a waiter at my place quit two days ago, are you going to go? ”
Zhang Qiusheng was slightly confused, "What exactly are you doing, I haven't done the work of a tea restaurant, I don't know if I will be clumsy and can't do it well." ”
"Hey, what's not to do? It is to help order, serve tea and water, and clean up. ”
Wei Xiaofan said, "Don't worry, the owner of this tea restaurant is my cousin, except for being stingy, he won't let you be bullied." And you watched TV at your relative's house, right, know those Xiangjiang stars, right? ”
Speaking of this, Wei Xiaofan blinked, "The tea restaurant is not far from a few TV stations, many stars you see on TV will come to our tea restaurant to eat, many beautiful women, you will feast your eyes!" ”
Zhang Qiusheng smiled unconsciously.
He wanted to refuse.
Because he has already set a course for himself to take.
He can't write novels, he doesn't have that kind of writing, some simple articles are okay, but if you want to repeat the novels you have read, it's impossible.
Fiction is a literal expression, which is different from film and television.
For example, let's talk about the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", ten years later, you can still recall the first encounter between Brother Jing and Sister Rong in the restaurant, but you definitely can't recall how Mr. Jin sketched that scene in his pen.
This is also the charm of film and television, it can deepen people's memories and make you not forget them for a long time.
So Yin Jun wants to cast the script.
Even the people of Xiangjiang do not attach much importance to the script, they pay more attention to the temporary play of the director and producer, looking forward to the appearance of a flash of inspiration, rather than the extremely careful text script.
Even, when people in Xiangjiang make movies, there is almost no storyboard script, it would be good to have lines for you, when you encounter a pit like the king of sunglasses, you are not a super celebrity like Wei Zai, and you want to cry in a daze.
But Zhang Qiusheng also believes that a good script, a script that can cut out the details one by one, write clearly and understandably, and show the state of film and television with writing ability, they must still like it.
When the time comes, sell a few scripts at a low price and become famous, are you still afraid that you won't be able to make the first pot of gold?
For the box office of tens of millions, twenty or thirty million, many movie bosses will still be willing to spend 350,000 yuan or more to buy a good script.
The premise is that the ability of this screenwriter who writes the script has been confirmed.
Just a few cheap scripts in front of you are a must to make a name for yourself, and money is not very important.
In order to polish his script well, Yin Jun has no time to work, and with the money given by Guan Shan and Guan Zhilin, he doesn't have to worry about life at all.
But as soon as he heard Wei Xiaofan talk about it, their tea restaurant was around Wutai Mountain on the radio road, and celebrities often haunted there, Zhang Qiusheng's heart moved all of a sudden.
Celebrities will come to the tea restaurant to eat, so those producers, directors and whatnot, will also come there to eat, right?
After getting acquainted with it, it should be much better to hand him the script than to throw the script by yourself, right?
Thought flashed.
Zhang Qiusheng nodded: "If you can work, then thank you, Brother Wei." ”
"Don't worry, it's on me!"
Wei Xiaofan stood up, "Let's go, now my cousin is in the store, let's go together." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry Brother Wei!"
Zhang Qiusheng couldn't imagine that he was so resolute, but he was not a person who twisted and pinched, and stood up with him.
Wei Xiaofan is fat, not short, at least 1.8 meters tall, so he looks a little fat, I'm afraid his weight will have to increase a little, at least 200 pounds.
For Zhang Qiusheng's straightforward attitude, Wei Xiaofan is very satisfied.
After going out, he took Zhang Qiusheng and walked straight towards the radio channel.
Along the way, Wei Xiaofan also introduced to Zhang Qiusheng what those taller buildings were, including the wireless TVB building, Li's building, Xiangjiang Radio Building, Xiangjiang Commercial Radio Building, and Jiashi Building......
Wei Xiaofan really didn't lie, he took Zhang Qiusheng into this two-story, more than 200 square meters of large tea restaurant, called "Xingji Tea Restaurant", the nearest radio station No. 81 Li's TV station headquarters building, just 20 meters away, the farthest radio station No. 30, is also 100 meters away.
"Brother Wei!"
"Fan Zai!"
Now there are still a lot of customers in the tea restaurant, not only a few young waiters greeted him warmly, but also a few middle-level staff who looked like TV stations smiled and nodded with him.
All the way to the counter in the middle, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, who was reconciling accounts according to the computer.
"Cousin!"
Wei Xiaofan coughed lightly.
The middle-aged man looked up, but he had a somewhat slender horse face, some shriveled and old-fashioned.
"What?" The middle-aged man lowered his head again and continued to do his own thing.
"I've got a little brother here, aren't we hiring? Just let him give it a try? Wei Xiaofan said with a shy smile.
"How old is he? Identity, right? The middle-aged man continued to bow his head.
"Hello, boss, I'm 16 years old, and I just got my ID today." Zhang Qiusheng put his ID card on the counter.
Only then did he look up at Zhang Qiusheng, and then at his ID card, "600 a month, one day off a week, 10 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, lunch and dinner are included, and I will go to work tomorrow if I can come." ”
"Don't, cousin. Isn't this a normal price of 1000? My little brother is very capable! Wei Xiaofan coughed lightly.
"You're here for me, huh? Can anyone come? Still have to pay a high salary? Shall I be the uncle? ”
The middle-aged man said impatiently, "On this condition, you can come if you want." ”
Zhang Qiusheng was about to speak, Wei Xiaofan kicked Zhang Qiusheng with his foot, and continued to smile and said: "Cousin, I was at the door of the clock hotel on Marconi Road the night before yesterday, and I seemed to see two acquaintances, I don't know if I should chat with my cousin and sister-in-law, you see ......."
The middle-aged man's face changed immediately, and he was uncertain for a while, and said viciously: "Wei Xiaofan! Don't overdo it! You bastard, am I not good enough for you? If it weren't for seeing my second aunt's face, I would ......"
"Hehe, cousin, don't be angry."
Wei Xiaofan was not afraid of boiling water and said, "If it is difficult to increase the salary, it just so happens that my little brother is renting the house I live in today, why don't you give your employees free rent?" Anyway, you haven't rented it out for half a year, so you should continue to rent it out...... Sister-in-law, I really didn't see anything! ”
The middle-aged man was so angry that he pointed at Wei Xiaofan's fat face, trembled a few times, and then lowered his voice and said, "Get out!" Tell him to come to work tomorrow! Give me a little lazy words, be careful that I skin you!! ”
