Chapter 8: The pie finally falls from the sky, and the movie finds an investment.
Tao Ye took a taxi and rushed outside a hotel and got out of the car. The hotel looks quite upscale, there are a lot of luxury cars parked at the door, he called Wen Hao, and soon Wen Hao came out, still carrying a plastic bag in his hand.
Wen Hao came up to apologize to Tao Ye first, he obviously drank a lot of wine and was already a little drunk.
"I'm sorry, I'm not done yet, you can wait for me in the car for a while."
"Damn, what's the situation?"
Hearing that he had to make himself wait, Tao Ye was a little unhappy.
"I'm all drunk, I've been carrying it and haven't drunk much, it seems that I can't hide, just wait to carry me for a while!"
"You're not drinking less, with whom?"
"Gold Lord! I'm the owner of this film. Wen Hao's tone of speech was a little exaggerated and exaggerated.
Tao Ye was pleasantly surprised, "Yo, it's decided?" Found an investment? ”
"It's almost time this time!"
"Awesome."
Wen Hao let out a long breath, "Alas... It's finally pie in the sky! ”
"Where's the management?"
"It's called the gold lord! The name of Cantonese and Hong Kong people is called the investor. I think it's a good thing to call it that, it's very direct, and it's to the point. Wen Hao was relaxed and proud, and teased excitedly.
"Okay, okay! The owner of the fund... Where is our gold master? ”
"Shanghai's, a financial company."
"Yo, the people of Alahai can drink like this?"
"You haven't seen it, you can drink it! We northerners have dry white beer, and southerners have dry red, a big glass and a mouthful. Otherwise, they all say that Lafite is basically fake, and if we drink it like this, how can we afford it? ”
"Did you drink Lafite?"
"No, I'll just say that, I'm not a famous director, and the management is not enough! Haha" Wen Hao laughed out loud laughing at himself.
"There will be, there will be, hurry up and become famous, boy! It's famous, bread will have it, and so will Lafite! ”
Wen Hao smiled even more happily.
"Where did you dig it from?"
"How can I have this ability, it's my partner, Zhang Ning, who is the woman you met at the door of the hotel today, and she introduced her through a friend."
"Partner? What do you mean? ”
"The two of us are co-screenwriters, I am the director, and the management wants her to be the producer, so we are talking."
"Ahh Reasonable and reasonable! Tao Ye deliberately made a sudden realization.
"Do you have any work behind you?" Wen Hao couldn't hide his excitement and asked Tao Ye with a concerned face.
"No, wasn't that job fooled before?"
"Then I'll try to get you the stills down."
"Okay, you can arrange it, I'll just listen to it." Tao Ye made a grateful expression.
The two walked while talking, walked through most of the parking lot, and walked to a car, Wen Hao took the remote control to press the car door open, and handed the car key to Tao Ye.
Tao Ye asked with some doubts: "Whose car?" ”
Wen Hao's loud elongated tone, "rented" revealed a heroism.
"Okay! It's really enough.,It looks like you're going to be happy tonight.。 ”
Wen Hao handed the plastic bag in his hand to Tao Ye, "You haven't eaten, what you packed, not leftovers, specially ordered for you." ”
"Hey, it doesn't matter if it's packed." Tao Ye made a very generous gesture, "What's packed?" ”
"Crystal shrimp, their specialty here. The food here is really delicious, but it's really fucking expensive, but fortunately, I don't pay for it, so you can eat it slowly. ”
"Okay, after eating, I'll give you a good review."
Wen Hao walked back to the hotel slowly, and Tao Ye got into the car. It was very cold in the car, so he took out the packing box from the plastic bag, lifted the lid of the box, and inside was a crystal shrimp, which looked attractive in color. In addition to the dishes, there was also a box of rice, a bottle of juice in the bag.
Tao Ye muttered to himself: "Well, yes, it's okay to do this." ”
Tao Ye adjusted the seat back to maximize the space and adjust his posture to the most comfortable. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw a large bouquet of blooming flowers in the back seat.
"Yo, what are you doing, it's so grand, propose!"
Tao Ye turned on the radio and tuned into the music channel, where a melancholy classical guitar song was playing, and he ate it while listening to the radio. Eating and eating, perhaps infected by the melody of the music, he thought of Xiao Ting, and a wave of guilt swelled in his heart, he put down the lunch box, picked up his mobile phone and called Xiao Ting.
In a millet noodle shop, Xiaoting was silently eating a bowl of rice noodles, she occupied a large table by herself, there were not many people in the store, and Xiaoting was even more lonely. At this time, the mobile phone placed on the side of the bowl rang, Xiao Ting glanced at it, it was Tao Ye calling, Xiao Ting still had the emotions of the two quarreling before, and watched the phone ring a few times before picking it up.
"Hey..." On the phone, Tao Ye's tone was also a little embarrassed.
"Well, what's the matter?" Xiaoting chewed rice noodles in her mouth with a cold attitude.
"It's okay...
"It's okay to call!"
"Have you eaten?"
"I'm eating."
"At home?"
"Nope!"
"What are you eating?"
"Rice noodles."
"Oh, is it delicious?"
"Hmm...
It's really not more than half a sentence, not even half a sentence, only an interjection.
"Then you eat, go home early after eating, and don't go out and run around."
"I'm not running around."
"Well, then I'll hang up."
Tao Ye hung up the phone, let out a sigh of relief, was bored for a while, picked up the lunch box and ate again.
。。。
Xiaoting walked down the street with her head down, her hands in the pockets of her down jacket, and the hat of the sweater inside was buttoned on her head, and the brim of the hat was almost covering her eyes. A couple walked by affectionately, Xiaoting pretended to glance at it casually, her eyes were full of envy.
Passing by a pet store, Xiaoting couldn't help but look inside, and walked over with a faster pace. There was a sound of a puppy barking in the store, Xiaoting stopped, hesitated, turned around and walked in.
Xiaoting was teasing a little teddy in front of the cage, and the puppy was very happy and jumping around in the cage. Xiaoting put her hand in and stroked the puppy, and the puppy stuck out her tongue and licked Xiaoting's fingers happily.
Xiaoting said to the puppy helplessly: "I can't take you home, there are bad people in the house, and you are not allowed to raise dogs!" ”
The proprietress came over and handed Xiaoting a box of canned dog food, "If you like it, buy it, he is very well-behaved, he has recognized that you are his master, and you are so happy when you come, if others are right, they will be bitten." ”
"I don't have time to raise it, I still have to go to class." Xiaoting looked at the proprietress in embarrassment.
"It's okay, you can send me here when you are in class, and I'll watch it for you."
Xiao Ting nodded, didn't say anything more, opened the can into the cage, the puppy ate greedily, Xiao Ting looked at the puppy with pity.
"This little thing is very pure, you look at her body shape, bones, and coat color, it's hard to meet such a standard teddy." The proprietress continued to lobby.
"What's his name?"
"It's called brother, it's a little male dog, it's temporary, you can come back and give it a name you like."
Xiaoting called the puppy: "Brother, brother... Why don't you ignore me, don't patronize and eat. ”
The puppy only cared about eating canned food, and didn't care about Xiaoting at all, and soon a box of canned food was eaten, so he ran over and whimpered at Xiaoting, while sticking out his tongue and licking his mouth, as if he hadn't eaten enough.
"Take him out for a while, he hasn't today."
The proprietress lost no time in persuading Xiaoting, but Xiaoting couldn't believe it.
"Ah, really, can he follow me?"
"Yes, he likes you."
The proprietress took a leash and released the puppy from the cage, and the puppy knew that he was going to take him out to slip away, so he was so excited that he jumped at the feet of the two.
"It's almost finished, and as soon as I take this rope, I know that I want to take him out."
"Where are you going?"
"The little park, where he poops regularly. When you get to the park, you can let him go, let him run and play on his own, and come back as soon as you call him, very good. Come, tie him up. ”
The proprietress handed the leash to Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting bent down and carefully wanted to tie the puppy, and the puppy was even more excited when she jumped around.
"Don't move, don't move, tie it and I'll take you out to play." Xiaoting tried a few times and didn't tie it.
"Brother, sit! Sit! ”
The puppy heard the boss's command, so he squatted down honestly, and Xiaoting took the opportunity to buckle the leash on the puppy's collar.
Xiaoting took the puppy to the small park, untied the leash, and the puppy immediately ran out and ran in front, stopping and raising his legs to pee under the tree roots. Xiaoting called the name of the puppy, and the puppy ran back and jumped a few times at Xiaoting's feet, and then ran away again. After playing with the puppy for a while, Xiaoting's mood gradually improved.
The puppy ran a little fast, and Xiaoting had to trot after the puppy.
"Brother, brother, slow down." Xiao Ting shouted while chasing.
The puppy ignored Xiaoting completely, ran all the way to a meadow, and began to grind back and forth.
Xiaoting didn't know what the puppy was going to do, so she asked strangely: "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”
The puppy spun around a few times, finally squatted down and started pooping, Xiaoting pretended to make a disgusted expression. At this moment, the mobile phone rang, Xiaoting took out the mobile phone and looked at it, it was Du Ran calling, so she picked it up.
In the open office hall of the advertising company, although it was past the time to get off work, there were still many employees working overtime, Du Ran was sitting at his workstation, talking to Xiaoting in a low voice.
"Hey, stinky girl, what are you doing?"
"Walking the dog."
"You have a dog?"
"No, someone else's."
"It's really leisurely, envy and jealousy."
"What are you doing?" Xiaoting asked.
"What else can I do, work overtime! You're a woman who cares more about sex than friends, and you haven't called me for a long time. ”
"No, it won't be long."
Xiaoting was a little embarrassed by Du Ran's words, since she moved to Tao Ye's house, she has never called Du Ran, don't blame people for saying that she is indeed a little too much to be a friend.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, what are you doing tomorrow, do you want to go to class?"
"No, tomorrow Saturday."
"Okay, then I'll go to Beijing to find you."
Xiao Ting was a little surprised when she heard Du Ran say that she was coming, and was about to ask, when she suddenly found that the puppy was gone, she looked around, and there was no trace of the puppy, so she shouted out in a hurry.
"Brother, brother...
Du Ran didn't know what was going on, and asked puzzled on the phone: "What brother, who are you with?" ”
"I'll tell you later."
Xiaoting hung up the phone in a hurry, anxiously looking for a dog everywhere in the small park.
。。。
Tao Ye finished eating, took a nap in the car bored, continued to listen to the radio on the radio, was in a daze, suddenly heard a commotion outside, opened his eyes, and saw a bunch of people pouring out of the hotel gate. Wen Hao was drunk like mud, like a death row prisoner, being dragged by two people by his arms. Tao Ye hurriedly started the car, drove the car to the door of the hotel, and got out of the car.
Tao Ye took Wen Hao from the hands of the two people holding Wen Hao, and at the same time quickly looked at the group of people. There are a lot of men and women, led by a middle-aged man in his forties, who is arrogant, and a group of people are all around him to say goodbye, and Wen Hao's female partner Zhang Ning is also among them.
"The director can't drink much, it's too much so soon, if you shoot a drinking scene, how to tell the actors about it, you have to practice hard." Some people are making the same jokes.
"He didn't drink much, and he drank too quickly." Zhang Ning helped Wen Hao speak.
These people completely ignored Tao Ye's existence, no one said anything to him, just as Tao Ye was a substitute driver, Tao Ye helped Wen Hao into the car.
。。。
In the park, Xiaoting continued to anxiously look for the puppy, asked the pedestrians walking in the park, searched everywhere, and still saw no trace of the puppy.
Xiaoting reluctantly walked out of the small park, which was across the street from the pet store, across the road, and there was a lot of traffic on the road. Suddenly, Xiaoting saw a small figure, it was her younger brother, hesitating on the side of the road, wanting to cross the road, but she was frightened by the speeding cars and didn't dare to move, it looked very dangerous.
Xiaoting shouted: "Brother, don't move!" ”
When the puppy heard the shout, he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Ting, and quickly ran to Xiao Ting's side, ran to Xiao Ting's feet, and obediently lay on the ground, wagging his tail flatteringly. Xiao Ting picked up the puppy, slapped the dog's head lightly in anger, and reprimanded the puppy with palpitations.
"What are you running around, how dangerous it is."
The puppy also knew that he had made a mistake, and kept licking Xiaoting's hand with his tongue.
