Under the reflection of the setting sun, Xiao Chu drove back to the company.

As soon as I arrived downstairs at the company, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, carrying a gift box, greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Teacher Xiao, Teacher Xiao, please wait a minute!"

"Who are you?" Xiao Chu was a little familiar with the middle-aged man in front of him, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"My name is Ying Jiaoming, I am the deputy director of our company's external relations department, and we drank together at the last "River God" celebration banquet. The middle-aged man introduced himself.

Speaking of the celebration banquet of "River God", Xiao Chu was vaguely impressed, but he still didn't have the right number.

After all, he had only joined the company at that time, and many people were not familiar with it, and now the celebration banquet of "Love Apartment" has been drunk.

However, he still asked politely: "Hello Director Ying, are you looking for me?"

Ying Jiaoming said politely: "Mr. Xiao, that's the case, I heard that your new play "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" has begun to set up a project to prepare for the crew. ”

"I have a niece who just graduated from college this year, I wonder if I can give her a chance to study in the group?"

Ying Jiaoming handed the gift box he was holding in his hand to Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu didn't answer, and asked, "Director Ying, I didn't understand what you meant, your niece is also studying drama and literature, and wants to join the screenwriting team?"

Ying Jiaoming smiled and said, "No, my niece is learning costume acting, and she wants to learn acting." ”

"Mr. Xiao, I heard that in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", there is a character named Zhou Shutong, who is a newly graduated trainee police officer, can you let my niece give it a try?"

"Don't worry, my niece studied acting when she was in college, she has a foundation, and her appearance conditions are very good, she will definitely be able to play the role of Zhou Shutong well. ”

After speaking, Ying Jiaoming took out his mobile phone, clicked on the album, enlarged a photo, and handed it to Xiao Chu to see.

Xiao Chu took a look, the girl in the photo, twenty-two or three years old, was young, but the makeup on her face was too thick, and she couldn't see it very really.

"Well, it's not bad, right? Ying Jiaoming returned the photos of his niece to Xiao Chu one by one.

There is also a small video of a selfie.

Learning costume performance, the appearance conditions are really good, but judging from the small video of the situation, the acting skills are not very good, the lines, expressions, and actions are a bit pretentious, and they are exaggerated at first glance.

"Teacher Xiao, do you think it's okay?" asked Ying Jiaoming expectantly.

Xiao Chu replied: "Director Ying, I look pretty good, but it doesn't matter if I say this, the selection of actors and the preparation of the crew are all directed by Lu Gaosheng and produced by Zhou Qingguan." ”

Ying Jiaominghu said suspiciously: "Teacher Xiao, didn't you say that this project is led by you, and you have the final say?"

Xiao Chu smiled and said: "Director Ying, you are also an old man in the industry, I am a fourth-level screenwriter, how can I have the final say?" ”

"Although the new project is led by me along with Director Lu and Producer Zhou, there is a division of labor between the three of us, I am only responsible for writing the play, and they are still responsible for other things. ”

Ying Jiaoming frowned, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Mr. Xiao, I didn't have much contact with Director Lu and Producer Zhou before, and I didn't have any friendship, do you think you can help me talk to them?"

"I know that Director Lu and Producer Zhou respect you very much, if you speak, they will definitely listen. ”

Xiao Chu's expression was a little strange, and he wanted to say that Director Ying, we didn't have any contact before, so we couldn't talk about friendship.

But after all, they are all colleagues, and they still have to give the face they deserve.

After thinking about it, he said: "Director Ying, in this way, I'll help you ask Director Lu and Producer Zhou to see if there are any suitable roles." ”

"But I'll tell you in advance, whether you can act in the end, I really don't care, it has to be decided by Director Lu and Producer Zhou, I don't dare to give you a ticket. ”

"And ......"

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Xiao, thank you so much!" Xiao Chu didn't finish speaking, Ying Jiaoming held his hand with both hands and thanked him happily.

This made Xiao Chu feel a little weird, and he couldn't say anything later.

Then he said thank you several times, and Ying Jiaoming left.

He wanted to give the gift box he brought to Xiao Chu, but Xiao Chu refused and asked him to take it all.

Seeing Ying Jiaoming happily driving away, Xiao Chu scratched his head.

turned around, and was just about to enter the company, when he saw Lu Gaosheng walking out of it.

"Did Ying Jiaoming find you just now?" Lu Gaosheng nodded towards the car that Ying Jiaoming was heading for.

Xiao Chu nodded, "I found it, I want his niece to participate in Zhou Shutong in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night". ”

Lu Gaosheng asked, "You didn't agree, did you?"

Xiao Chu shook his head, "No, I told him that the actor's business is not my business, just help him ask you and Zhou Qing to see if there is a suitable role." ”

Lu Gaosheng said: "Teacher Xiao, before Jiaoming looked for you again, he had already looked for me and Zhou Qing, but we didn't respond." ”

It's not that he doesn't give him face, but his niece, who said that she has studied costume acting for three years, is actually mixing outside for three years. ”

"And even if you really study it seriously, costume acting and acting are not the same thing. ”

"Coupled with the project "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", it is too important for anyone to insert it casually. ”

Xiao Chu blinked, he didn't know that there were such things in here.

"Director Lu, was I a little impulsive just now? I just think that people from the same company are not good to refuse directly. Xiao Chu asked.

Lu Gaosheng smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later as your status rises." ”

"You didn't handle it too badly, didn't you just agree?"

"Besides, this person should be handed over, although there are some minor problems, but overall it is okay, he wants her niece to join the group, it is also human nature, understandable. ”

"Since you have pushed this matter on us, let us deal with it, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Thank you, Director Lu!" Xiao Chu thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

This kind of thing, he's really not very good at dealing with it.

After leaving society, interpersonal relationships are more complicated, and if you are not careful, it is easy to offend people.

Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of Dolphin Film and Television is still relatively good.

"Teacher Xiao, I heard that you went out this time to find Ren Hongyu, how about it, is he willing to take this play?" Lu Gaosheng changed the subject.

Xiao Chu replied: "He is willing, and he agrees to participate in the audition." ”

"That's good, the specific things of the audition, Zhou Qing and I will arrange. But this time, you should also participate, right?"

"I'll participate when the time comes. ”

Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu play such an important role, of course Xiao Chu has to participate in the audition, otherwise he will not worry.

If this core character is not played well, the whole drama will be ruined.

Lu Gaosheng said with a smile: "Okay, when the specific time comes out, Zhou Qing and I will inform you." ”

Xiao Chu said suddenly: "Director Lu, otherwise you will still call me Xiao Xiao in the future, the same as before, or call me by my name directly." ”

"It's okay for others to call me Mr. Xiao, but every time I hear you call me, I always feel weird. ”

Lu Gaosheng stared at him.

Xiao Chu nodded seriously, "It's really uncomfortable, you are a senior and an elder, you call me Teacher Xiao, I'm afraid that my teacher will beat me when he hears it." ”

Lu Gaosheng smiled and said, "How can Lao Li be willing to beat you? You are his proud disciple." But what is the name is also a title, you don't want me to call you Teacher Xiao, I don't call it. ”

"Thank you, Director Lu!"

Lu Gaosheng smiled dumbly, "You're still too young!"

......

Lu Gaosheng went out, and Xiao Chu took the elevator up and returned to the office.

As soon as he sat down at his workstation, Jin Cancan didn't know where he came from.

"Uncle Male God, do you need to drink water, I'll pour it for you?" Jin Cancan asked attentively.

Xiao Chu shook his head, "Don't drink." ”

Instead, he asked, "How's your phone, is it sunburned, is it ready to use?"

Jin Cancan said with a smile: "It's fine at noon, it's the same as not entering the water, and you can fight for another year!"

Xiao Chu was relieved and saved money.

Originally, the baby fat-faced little girl had helped so much, and he was going to buy her a mobile phone as a thank you, but now he doesn't need it.

At half past five, clock out of work.

————

When he went downstairs, Xiao Chu said to Jin Cancan: "Cancan, I may stay at home to write these days, you don't have to follow." ”

Jin Cancan was not disappointed at all, but was very happy, "OK, there are just a few little sisters who asked me to go to the countryside of Zhejiang Province to play for a few days, and I don't need to ask for leave now." ”

"But Uncle Male God, if there's anything I need to do, you can call me at any time, and I'll be back immediately!"

Immediately, Jin Cancan turned around and ran away to call her little sister.

Xiao Chu went downstairs alone, and when he walked to the parking lot, he found a figure, leaning against the window of his car, bowing his head and playing with his mobile phone.

It's Zhou Qing.

Xiao Chu walked over and asked, "Brother Zhou, are you waiting for me?"

Zhou Qing said while playing the game: "Listen to Director Lu, should Jiaoming find you?"

Xiao Chu nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhou Qing said: "In the future, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, whoever looks for you, you let him come to me, and write your play well." ”

Xiao Chu understood why he did this, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhou......!

Zhou Qing replied: "Since you should go, I will arrange a small role for her, as for Zhou Shutong, he doesn't want to think about it, his niece can't play it." ”

Xiao Chu understands that this matter is gone.

Zhou Qing said suddenly: "Regarding the matter of Jinchen Company, the police are ready to close the net." ”

Xiao Chu was a little surprised, and at the same time couldn't help but quip: "Brother Zhou, you seem to have said the same last time." ”

Zhou Qing said lightly: "This time it's true." ”

After speaking, he didn't care what Xiao Chu thought, and left directly, playing games while walking to his car.

Xiao Chu really wanted to remind him that he should not play with his mobile phone after driving, he would be fined if he was photographed, and it was not safe.

But think about Zhou Qing's character, forget it.

This kind of ancient swordsman-like character can't be persuaded to come, and generally has his own bottom line.

Xiao Chu drove back to Taoyuan Community.

......

Night falls.

In a courtyard in the imperial capital, lights were lit.

A sturdy old lady rolling dumpling wrappers under the lamp.

Xia Tingcia and Xiao Ai both rolled up their sleeves and made dumplings on the side.
