After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 46 Women’s Curiosity

Inside the Kyoto Grand Hotel.

The crew of "The Best of Us" is having a dinner party before the start of filming. Several creative members of the crew are present, including representatives of investors, director Liu Jianming, male and female protagonists Tan Songyun, Guo Ming, etc.

Li Man was also invited as a guest. Originally, the crew wanted Li Man to invite the author Hongwen as well. Generally, if a TV series is adapted from a novel, the investor will invite the author, and the author will also be a guest screenwriter. This is a sign of respect.

The author also does it for better publicity. For example, he is one of the screenwriters in the TV series adaptation of "Youth Chasing Dreams" by Xi Mingjue.

What surprised the investors was that the author of "The Best of Us" did not show up from beginning to end. Li Man was the one who showed up during the contract signing and press conference, which made everyone very curious about the author.

In fact, Li Man actually asked Chen Tianhong this time, and Chen Tianhong's answer was that he still had to go to class, so he refused. Chen Tianhong would not come even on the weekend. With this time, he could type tens of thousands more manuscripts. Besides,

This is not a must-go occasion.

Because she could not meet the author Hongwen, Tan Songyun felt a little disappointed. Like all fans of "The Best of Us", she wanted to meet Hongwen, and the actor was also a star-chaser.

Tan Songyun was very happy to be able to play the heroine Geng Geng in the TV series this time. She thought it was director Liu Jianming who helped her. When she thanked Liu Jianming, she was told that it was actually the author of "The Best of Us" who nominated her to play the heroine.

Geng Geng, this made Tan Songyun feel disturbed, and her desire to meet the author Hongwen became even stronger.

At the dinner, Li Man sat next to Tan Songyun. She took the initiative to sit there. There was something in Li Man's heart that he had always wanted to ask Tan Songyun.

"Geng Geng, I want to ask you about someone."

Li Man now directly calls Tan Songyun Genggeng. This nickname is very affectionate.

"Sister Man, tell me."

Tan Songyun was very polite to Li Man. Today was the first time she and Li Man met. They had only talked on the phone a few times before and were not very familiar with each other. But Tan Songyun knew that this was the boss of the author Hongwen and had a close relationship with the director Liu Jianming.

good.

"Do you know Chen Tianhong?"

After saying this, Li Man stared at the expression on Tan Songyun's face carefully. Li Man had always been curious about the relationship between Chen Tianhong and Tan Songyun, and why Chen Tianhong insisted on letting this girl play Geng Geng.

It is true that Li Man admits that Tan Songyun does fit the image of Geng Geng very well. The question is how Chen Tianhong met Tan Songyun, or that there is a relationship between the two people that she does not know about. Li Man is still a woman in essence. There is a wise saying in the past life, that is

Never underestimate a woman's curiosity.

"Chen Tianhong?"

Tan Songyun carefully went through the friends around her in her mind, and there was no one with this name in her mind.

Although Chen Tianhong won first place in a national literature competition for middle school students and gained a little fame, there are so many high-profile things happening across the country every day that it is impossible for everyone to know him and his name. After all, Chen Tianhong is just

He is just a student. People in the entertainment industry like Tan Songyun have more activities every day, so it is normal to be unclear.

"Sister Man, I don't know him. What, who is he?" Tan Songyun shook her head.

Li Man saw that Tan Songyun looked confused and confused when he spoke, and his expression did not look like he was faking it.

"Is it possible that they really don't know each other? That would be strange."

Li Man did not continue to test her. If she continued to ask, she would reveal Chen Tianhong's identity. Since Chen Tianhong did not let him reveal his identity, Li Man would keep it a secret for Chen Tianhong. This is respect.

At this time, the investor’s representative, who was also the producer of the crew, came over with a wine glass to toast Li Man.

"Mr. Li, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for giving our company the rights to adapt the TV series "The Best of Us". We will definitely make this TV series a success."

The investor’s representative’s surname is Dong. He is fair and chubby, and always has a signature smile on his face. At first glance, he is a veteran in the social circle.

"Producer Dong, you are so polite. This is a mutually beneficial thing for both of us. On behalf of the author Hongwen, I also wish that the ratings of our TV series "The Best of Us" will break the record when it is released."

Li Man politely picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Producer Dong, and took two sips of the red wine in the glass.

"Mr. Li, I have something to tell you in advance. When we were negotiating the contract, you asked us to start filming as soon as possible. Now we are running into a little trouble. Originally, we had already negotiated with a school in Kyoto and agreed to let our crew go.

We borrowed locations for filming. But things have changed now. The principal of that school has been transferred. The new principal has not been settled yet, so the start date of filming may have to be postponed."

Producer Dong said with an apologetic look.

When Li Man heard that the filming start date of the TV series was postponed, she didn't pay much attention. At that time, she said that it was Chen Tianhong's intention to start filming as soon as possible, but the words of producer Dong reminded her.

"Has there been a change in the school where the filming took place? Producer Dong, I think there is no need for our crew to choose Kyoto as the filming location."

"Oh? From what Mr. Li said, is there a better location?"

The smile on Producer Dong's face remained unchanged, and he could naturally understand the meaning of Li Man's words.

"Does Producer Dong know the name of the school of the hero and heroine in the novel "The Best of Us"?"

Li Man didn't say it directly, but asked a question. This is the skill of speaking. It is the crew's business to choose the shooting location. If Li Man directly recommended the place, the investors would be uncomfortable. This involves the crew

I feel uncomfortable no matter whether people accept the benefits or not.

So you have to speak tactfully, and do business with mutual respect. After all, the TV series adaptation rights of the novel have been sold to others, so Li Man can't get too involved in the crew's affairs.

"this"

Producer Dong looked embarrassed, he had never read this novel.

Seeing Producer Dong's expression, Li Man was stunned. She didn't expect that Producer Dong had never watched "The Best of Us".

"The school in the novel is called Zhenhua Middle School!" This was the answer given by Tan Songyun.

Producer Dong and Li Man both cast friendly glances at Tan Songyun, and her words resolved the embarrassing situation.

"Actually, there is also a Zhenhua Middle School in Jinling City. This school is currently quite famous among middle schools across the country. A student from their school recently won the first place in the National Middle School Student Literature Competition."

Li Man continued with a smile.

Producer Dong suddenly realized what he meant by Li Man's words.

"Mr. Li, you mean that you can go to this school for filming. Yes, there is no other school that is more suitable than this. The novel is based on reality, and there is also a Zhenhua Middle School in reality. This can be better.

Promote our drama. Thank you, Mr. Li, and I will contact Jinling City right away."

Li Man smiled and said nothing, that's what she meant.

Tan Songyun's eyes lit up after hearing these words. There is actually a Zhenhua Middle School in reality. What the producer said is quite interesting. The novel comes from reality, so is it possible that the author was in that school, or that

The story of Geng Geng Yuhuai really exists.

The more Tan Songyun thought about it, the more excited she became. Her curiosity arose, and she couldn't wait to go and see the real Zhenhua Middle School.

In the office of the principal of Zhenhua Middle School.

"Teacher Cao Bing, have you asked what I asked you to ask?"

Principal Ding Xiong turned the tea cup in his hand and stared at Cao Bing closely with his small eyes.

"Principal, I asked, and Chen Tianhong said he didn't write it. Principal, I think it's okay if he doesn't admit it. Isn't it a good idea for us to do this? The school rules clearly state that students are not allowed to read or study during school.

Unrelated novels. As a class teacher, I ask my students about youth romance novels every day, so how can I teach my students?"

Cao Bing looked indignant.

Ding Xiong didn't answer. When he heard that there was no result, his eyes shifted to the tea cup in his hand.

But I was muttering in my heart, if you don't go, who will go? As a principal, I don't want to lose face. If you are embarrassed as a class teacher, just be embarrassed. Anyway, it's not me who is embarrassed. This is a typical mentality of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist.

The phone on his desk rang, and Ding Xiong knew without looking that it was the Director of Education. Director Zhang called once a day to inquire about the progress.

This is one level at a time, the big cat eats the small fish.

"Teacher Cao, you can ask me some questions when you have time. Go get busy first."

"I still have to ask."

Cao Bing stared at Ding Xiong with a look of grief and indignation. If looks could kill, Ding Xiong would have been pierced by thousands of arrows. Unfortunately, his arms still couldn't hold his thighs. Who was the principal? Cao Bing could only stomp his feet helplessly.

out.

"Hey, Director Zhang! I will definitely tell you if there is any news, don't worry."

"That's not what happened to Principal Ding. If that kid doesn't admit it, let's stop asking him. His dumplings are leaking and the inside will be exposed sooner or later. What I'm talking about now is another happy event."

Director Zhang's voice sounded like a broken gong on the phone.

"Isn't another leader coming over?"

"It's not the boss, it's the TV crew. It's a big crew from Kyoto. They want to borrow scenes from your school for filming. It seems to be filming a TV series called "The Best of Us". I just checked it out. Guess what, this

The novel is in the same series as "Hello Old Time" mentioned by Mr. Zhu, written by the same author. I guess it is our Chen Zhuangyuan. Principal Ding, you must cooperate with the filming of this crew. Of course, others will also give

What you pay for is considered your school’s own income.”

Director Zhang still spoke very quickly and explained everything clearly in two or three minutes.

"Director Zhang, it's okay for the TV series to come to film. But what you said is that this TV series is about students falling in love. Will this have a bad impact on the school? When Mr. Zhu came last time, you

He also asked me to pay attention to the thoughts of students in school and pay close attention to puppy love."

Ding Xiong expressed his concerns. It would be a good thing to make the school more famous. But it also depends on the reputation. If it is famous for students' love affairs, it would not be a good thing.

"Principal Ding, how can you think so? This is filming a TV series, which are two different things. There is no conflict between whether students' educational ideas should be grasped or not. I can tell you that a leader has specifically said hello to this matter. Don't argue with me.

A bargain."

Now that the talk has come to this, what else can Ding Xiong say? The official university level is overwhelming, so he can only agree and treat it as a way to generate income for the school.
