A small convoy of three silver-gray Buick business vehicles drove on the intercity highway.

The first car that opened the road, and the strong guys of the four crew sat in this car.

Xiao Kai's car was in the middle of three cars, the co-pilot seat was empty, and only Wang Ou and Zheng Xu were sitting in the car.

There were also four people in the last car, and the people driving in front and sitting in the passenger seat were also members of the crew.

One of the people in the back was a master chef in the canteen and a doctor.

Xiao Kai arranged it very thoughtfully this time.

The six strong guys of the drama crew are responsible for doing some miscellaneous work and part-time security work.

The master chef of the canteen is responsible for managing the food of the people, mainly to distinguish the quality of some physical objects.

Another doctor is to prevent emergencies just in case.

A group of eleven people and three cars followed Zheng Xu out to relax this time.

It's about a twenty-minute drive from the destination.

Zheng Xu looked at the flat farmland outside the window, the mottled fields, and the wheat waves of the past were gone.

Every year in June and July, passing by this kind of wheat field, the scene is beautiful and spectacular, and the golden wheat forms golden wheat waves, which stretch into the sea.

Now that the harvesting season is over, the golden wheat waves are gone, and only the fields that are temporarily resting remain.

................

Looking at Zheng Xu, who was silent, Wang Ou was a little worried, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zheng Xu's hand and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Since Xiao Kai came to her yesterday and suddenly said that she was going out for a walk, she felt very strange.

Zheng Xu and the others got along at that time, and the two of them also traveled to Xijiang Province by car together, and later encountered an unexpected incident in which the Korean director mocked Zheng Xu before they had a good time.

For the first time in so many years, Zheng Xu took the initiative to ask to put down his work and go for a walk.

Recently, since the Korean producer came to Zheng Xu, as a pillow person, she has keenly noticed that Zheng Xu's mood is a little wrong.

How to say it, a little excited, and a little bit of gains and losses, which is completely different from Zheng Xu's reaction before preparing to shoot a new project.

Usually when he was in the company, he didn't show it, but when he got home, Zheng Xu, who had removed his disguise, would naturally bring out some of this emotion.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you can do it, we all believe in you."

Seeing that Zheng Xu just shook his head and didn't speak, Wang Ou comforted him again.

Xiao Kai, who was driving in front, looked in the rearview mirror, tightened his hands and didn't speak.

Exhaled, Zheng Xu leaned back in the back seat, grabbed Wang Ou's small hand in his hand and said tightly: "It's not pressure, some things are my first attempt, I don't think Lao Zhang has a score, I still persuade him, but I know, I also persuade myself, in fact, I don't have a score in my heart." ”

"Hey... What's the big deal, even if you fail, let's come back and continue to shoot TV series, isn't this your forte? In the future, we won't make movies, and we won't think about winning any awards, so we can make money to support our families with peace of mind. ”

Wang Ou smiled and shook Zheng Xu's hand.

"Besides, you just think too much, if you want me to say, you can shoot whatever the leader asks you to shoot, meddle in this and that, be a director honestly, don't think so much."

With a light snort, Zheng Xu continued to look out the window, he didn't know how to tell Wang Ou, she might not be able to understand these things.

"What's wrong? Are you still in a hurry? Wang Ou saw that Zheng Xu had not spoken, and asked again.

A little irritable when asked, Zheng Xu pointed to the storage box and said, "Take out the ashtray, I'll smoke a cigarette." ”

"Smoke less..."Wang Oushun said, his hand was not slow, he still opened the storage box and took out the ashtray, opened the lid and held it close to Zheng Xu with his hand, so that he could easily play the ash.

Looking at Wang Ou with an inquiring expression, Zheng Xu took his eyes off her eyes and glanced at Wang Ou's face, he hadn't looked at Wang Ou so carefully for a long time.

You don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun like an actor, and you don't have to apply thick makeup to your face for filming, Wang Ou's skin care is oily and slippery.

In fact, many actresses are in their thirties, and their skin is not good, even if they are maintained, it will be like that.

Usually, as long as you take on the play, whether it is an actor or an actress, you can't avoid one problem, that is, makeup.

In order to look good on camera and have more three-dimensional facial features, the makeup on the actors' faces is generally thick, and over time, whether it is miscellaneous cosmetics or other reasons, most of the actors who often film have bad skin.

is famous, what is the first thing that the female star who goes up to the coffee position does?

In addition to finding an assistant, it is to hire your own exclusive makeup artist and bring your own cosmetics, which can be slightly better.

Wang Ou has not filmed in the past few years, so he doesn't have to suffer this crime, and he usually pays attention to maintenance, so his skin is well maintained.

Don't look at some pictures on the Internet, some older actresses are glamorous, and those photos are all retouched!

In everyday life, that face... I didn't dare to look closely.

With Wang Ou, everyone compares closely, and the gap comes out.

Coupled with a long period of pampering, it slowly developed a bit of luxury.

Not to mention anything else, wherever Wang Ou goes now, at least no one will call her Miss Wang or Ms. Wang, at least she has to call Mr. Wang.

Vice President Wang of Twinkle Flashing Media!

...............

"What are you staring at me, you haven't seen enough."

Wang Ou carried Zheng Xu with the back of his hand.

"Ha, I suddenly remembered that when we first met, your face was still a little fat, your body was thin and thin, and you didn't look white, and now compared with the past, I suddenly feel that you have changed a lot."

Listening to Zheng Xu's sudden emotion, Wang Ou also looked at Zheng Xu carefully, the thin stubble, after a few months of shooting, his face was slightly dark, but it was only black compared to before, and the forehead lines looked slightly more obvious, from the time she first met Zheng Xu, this man gave her the feeling that he was very mature, so mature that it was easy for people to ignore his age.

Men, polarization is very serious, if the family conditions are good and the maintenance is good, it will not show its age, even if it is thirty or forty years old, it looks like a child who can't grow up, just like Lin Zhiying.

But some men entered the society relatively early, took on great responsibilities, and seemed to be precocious and mature.

Just like Zheng Xu, over the years, Wang Ou feels that Zheng Xu is slowly changing, but she can't tell where it has changed, anyway, she has always been the one who is trustworthy and at the forefront, instructing employees to do things and complete his plans.

But most of the people Zheng Xu has been in contact with and the people at his level are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, and over time, the temperament on his body has become more and more eccentric, not weird, but the momentum is obvious, so obvious that few people care that he is only in his early thirties this year.

"There's something I shouldn't have to worry about you, but... Some things are far from being as simple as you think, you think this thing is like playing a game, the big deal is to fail, can we turn back and continue to live like this? ”

Zheng Xu lit a cigarette, looked at Wang Ou and said, turned his head to look out the window, and continued: "This time, if this film is not successful, the reputation will fall, and it will have a great impact on our TV series and our company." ”

"Then you're not honest as a director, what are you tossing?"

Hearing him say this, Wang Ou opened his mouth to persuade.

"Toss? You think I'm tossing? Do you know how long I was preparing for my first TV series, "Tomb Road", when I was filming? ”

Stretching out his left hand, Zheng Xu made an OK gesture and said, "Three years!" Three whole years! I've been preparing for a TV series for three years! ”

"Hey, didn't you say half a year?"

Many people know about this, with Zheng Xu's fame, his previous exit routes have been reported by the media, for a TV series, he prepared half a year in advance, drew all the sub-shots alone, etc., most of Zheng Xu's fans have seen the relevant news.

But now how did Zheng Xu change his words, Wang Ou is a little strange, half a year has become three years?

"Half a year? That was the preparation time on the surface, after I came out of the station, I wanted to go to the capital to develop, and then I encountered a little setback, after returning from the capital, I began to do my own company, I just wanted to make money to make TV series to make a lot of money, I have been preparing for this day, and the early stage is to make money by shooting advertisements. ”

"I've made nearly a million dollars in two years of advertising! When I was young, I always thought that I would succeed, but the prosperity of the city almost made me lose my way, and there are many forks in the road in life... I made money at that time, bought a car, a house, and I even thought about it, I just messed up like this in my life, a little money, a few houses, and my wife and children are hot on the kang! ”

"However, this is far from my goal, I can't wait, my ability is still not enough, and finally calculated, even if the house is mortgaged, I will only make up 700,000 yuan, which is all the money I can come up with, let alone make a TV series, it is not enough to make a short film."

"What if I keep going like this? How many more years do I have to struggle to make enough money to make a TV series? I can't wait! ”

"Later, I could only come up with the script and ask them to cooperate."

"But I'd rather give all my savings and get involved in my project, for what? Do you think I'm just here for dividends? In a project, whether there is your capital contribution or not, this is not only a matter of dividends, but a question of the right to speak and dominate! ”

"I was soft-spoken, I had no right to speak, all investments have the possibility of failure, this is the money I have worked hard for two years, there is no room for loss, I only believe in myself, except for myself, other directors, I don't believe in anyone!"

"You know, I'm from Taili, but I have a project, why don't I find Taili to cooperate with him as soon as possible? Do you want to pull in the tourist office first? I'm just to take advantage of the situation, I came out of the station this identity, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that I have many acquaintances in the station, and there are many people who can borrow, the disadvantage is that under inertial thinking, a random leader in the station can command me, who is in charge of this project? ”

"I've been working hard for three years! Later, as you know, the project was approved, and I was involved in the project with the participation of the three parties in the name of the company, the Tourism Bureau and Taili! I did not participate in the investment in my personal capacity, even if the 700,000 yuan at that time was insignificant for the whole project, but I was also one of the investors! Later, even if I borrowed someone from the stage, I took the manpower of our company at that time as the main body, gritting my teeth and filming "Tomb Road". ”

"In the end, I made the right bet! Although "Tomb Road" was not a big hit at that time, I made money, trained the team, became famous, and had connections, which was enough for me! That opportunity successfully promoted me from a small company owner who filmed commercials to a slightly more influential owner and director of a small film and television company! ”

Turning his head, Zheng Xu spat out a cigarette, and a thin white smoke floated in the car.

Wang Ou listened to Zheng Xu talk about the inside story that she had never known before, and watched Zheng Xu turn his head and spit a cigarette at her, if this was the case before, she would definitely look disgusted, but today, it is still the same smoke, or the same taste.

But today's smoke is extraordinarily masculine, masculine, smoky, masculine.

Zheng Xu likes this the most, not pretentious, not hypocritical, the goal is very clear, from the beginning of the TV series, he told Wang Ou that his purpose is to make money!

Instead of what some people are talking about for the sake of art, for the cause of culture.

Zheng Xu never said this kind of thing, only when the money was enough, he added a little burden to himself, but he still did not change his original intention, making film and television dramas is to make money, even if it is not cash, it is also an invisible income that is more important than money.

...............

"It turns out that you were under so much pressure when you were filming this TV series, but the two of us were still arguing in the crew at that time."

Wang Ou remembered that when he filmed "Tomb Road" before, the two had a small conflict on the set, and he couldn't help but smile.

"I've been telling you for a long time, I'm just here to tell you that some projects don't just do things honestly and obediently, I don't participate this time, and I won't have such an opportunity in the future.

"Lao Zhang is famous, look at him, what is the end now, although he is not a good partner, but in this world, because of uneven interests, there are partners who have conflicts everywhere, in the final analysis, Lao Zhang has always been an obedient person, not a leader."

"All the projects of our company, no matter how big or small, I have to invest and participate in them and get the right to speak! Just for this, my project, I initiated, I will take the lead, even if I mess it up, then I will not blame others, but if these rights are given to others, what is the current situation of us? ”

"Will our company develop to the current scale?"

As Zheng Xu's words fell, Wang Ou pondered for a moment and said in doubt: "In other words, you still want to lead this new project?" ”

"Of course! Even if it's a task assigned by the leader, I have to take the lead! Not only do I want to lead, but I also want to take a part of the investment! If the film is not filmed well at the end, I will be beaten and punished, I admit it! But before and during my shoots, I hate when people point fingers at me! ”

Throw the cigarette butt into the portable ashtray and close the lid with a "pop".

Zheng Xu stared at Wang Ou's eyes and said, "My crew, there can only be one voice, and that is my voice!" I don't need to be instructed what to do! I know what I'm supposed to do! ”

"Good! I know, you're doing great things, you've worked hard. Wang Ou came over with a smile, and the two got closer and closer.

Zheng Xu coughed twice and said, "What are you doing, there are still people." ”

...

"Fifth brother! I'm driving, and I can't see anything! "Xiao Kai's ears are more turin than dogs, and when he hears the words, he first clears up the relationship.

"Grass!"

Zheng Xu kicked behind the driver's seat.

After talking for a long time, I feel much better!

"Honk! Let the first few goods drive faster! I'm hungry, hurry to the place! What are you talking about?! ”

"Gotcha!"

Xiao Kai slapped the middle of the steering wheel, and the long honking of the horn startled the car in front, thinking that something suddenly happened behind him.

"Hey, hey, Brother Kai? What's the situation? ”

The anxious voice of the driver in front of the car came from the intercom.

"Haha, hurry up! Speed up, the boss is hungry, I think you are pressing. ”

"Oh oh oh, understood!"

...

was made so troubled, Wang Ou was embarrassed to lean next to Zheng Xu again, gave Zheng Xu a roll of his eyes, and crooked his arms on the seat, staring at Zheng Xu.

...............

The subordinate ranch of Twinkle Media, what was the name before, has become history, since this place was transferred to Zheng Xu, Zheng Xu's father, after helping to deal with the debt problem, the company was officially renamed Little Star Ranch.

A little confusing and not well-known little ranch.

Close to the mountains, far away from the city, and here, one is not open to the public, the other is not for sale, many locals, at most, know that this is a small ranch, the background relationship is very hard, as for what is raised inside?

Who are they?

These are not clear.

In short, this is a very low-key, very inconspicuous small ranch.

The pasture as a whole is built on the mountain, as for this mountain, it is not so much a mountain, but a group of hills, not the kind of steep mountain, but a mountain range with little ups and downs, a large grassland, and those large grasslands in Mongolia are far incomparable, but in this Central Plains, it is not easy to get this small piece of natural grassland, open a small pasture.

In the past, there were several small quarries around here, but since Zheng Xu took over here, these quarries have been shut down one after another on the grounds of unqualified environmental protection.

It can be said that within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, there is only one small ranch and that vegetable company.

The dilapidated gate of the ranch is closed all year round, except when it is opened when entering and exiting the truck, there is no gate guard all year round, but there are cameras everywhere around.

The reason for this is mainly because it is not open to the public, the whole gate is too boring, and the employees are the family members of the employees in the company, but it is not suitable for the whole old man to watch the door here, there are few people, what is going on, and I don't worry, so I simply decorate the camera and the entire monitoring room.

Those old men who were considered cadres before retirement can't work in the field, so they go to the monitoring room to play chess and cards and watch the monitoring by the way, and arrange a few more people, and they can make do.

After Xiao Kai parked the car, he got out of the car and walked to the camera at the door and waved his hand.

The horn next to him sounded: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Kai?" Why are you here? ”

"Haha, which uncle is watching the surveillance? Mr. Zheng came over and opened the door. ”

"Oh~ My old king, wait, I'll open it for you, you can bring it to me in a while."

"Good! Uncle Wang, don't worry! ”

Xiao Kai turned his head back to the car, and just brought the door, the big iron gate of the ranch swayed, accompanied by the sound of machinery, and the broken electric door slowly opened.

The compound covers an area of 20 acres, and there is an old-fashioned three-story office building on one side.

On the far right of the first floor is the toilet, next to the toilet is the bathhouse, and further to the left, there is the cafeteria.

The second floor is an office building with a small warehouse. Conference room, monitoring room (chess and card room).

The third floor is the dormitory, a standard room with a small toilet, which is allocated according to the family.

There is also a large one-story bungalow on the left side of the office building, which is a large warehouse, and some agricultural machinery can be stored here.

As for the ranch-related things, in the inside, it is far away from the residential area, so that it is also clean and hygienic, and will not have any impact on the living environment.

In the open space next to the big bungalow warehouse, there is a row of fitness equipment, which was added later, but looking at the wear and tear of those fitness equipment, it is estimated that no one uses it.

The living conditions here, except for accommodation, everything else is on par with the head office of a flash media company, even the master in the kitchen is also rotated with the head office, several masters with people, once every six months, once a month, in shifts.

Zheng Xu led people to the door of the cafeteria, and a few old men came down the stairs on the side of the building.

The leader was wearing a set of flashing media overalls, sporty trousers, and short sleeves.

He also wore a purple sports headband on his head.

The white hair is combed back, it looks imposing and feels weird.

"Young... Tut-tut, look at who is here, Mr. Zheng, a busy man. ”

The old man put his hands behind his back, and when he saw Zheng Xu, he started to mock first.

Zheng Xu raised his eyebrows, this old Liu Tou used to have a very hot temper, he was still a relational household, before he retired, when he was the highest, he was the third-in-command in Zhongzhou City, and his momentum was very strong.

Later, because his grandson worked at Yixing Media, he mixed into the family group and was hired by Zheng Xu to be the director of Little Star Ranch!

In terms of his management level and connections, at that time, because of several quarries, the surrounding environment was not good, and the former boss couldn't do it, so he waited for him to become the director of Little Star Ranch.

The policy here is quickly tightened to protect the environment! Coincidentally, the quarry did not meet the development requirements and was finally shut down.

Old man Liu is still very helpful at this point.

does not ignore Zheng Xu's special care for his little great-grandson, Chen Yao often murders his little great-grandson, and it is because of this.

His old Liu Tou is not good at being a factory director, his grandson will be punished, and his great-grandson will also be punished...

For the happiness of the next generation, Lao Liu Tou can only endure a belly of resentment and be a good factory director.

"Young... Isn't this Director Liu of Little Star Ranch, a subsidiary of Twinkle Media, inspecting the work? I have come to inspect you. ”

"Little Cub, twenty years ago, if you were like this, I could kick you out two miles with one kick."

Old Liu Tou walked in front of Zheng Xu, looking at Zheng Xu, who looked like him, with his hands behind his back, his teeth itched with anger.

...

ps:

I'm not too early, so I'll update a chapter first, and you'll watch it first. I'm afraid that the big chapter won't be sent in time, and it's too late to delay the rest of the masters.
