Dad Academy

"I really want to come, but I'm too far away."

This was Su Lan's message. Zhang Tan was disappointed. The message was not sent to him, but to the group.

There is a small group of creative staff of "The Silent Truth", only Zhang Tan and others are there. Wang Han just sent out an invitation in the group, asking everyone to have dinner together tomorrow night. Everyone spoke, but Zhang Tan remained silent.

Zhang Tan habitually blocked message reminders, so he didn't know that everyone was chatting, but just now Su Lan @informed everyone that she was in Peiping and couldn't attend the dinner.

Zhang Tan also replied: "I have no problem."

He didn't go to the company at all the next day, and only went out in the evening to attend the banquet organized by Wang Han.

He Miao waited for him for a day, thinking that he would take the initiative to come to him and inform him of the results of his considerations. However, he waited around and saw no one. When he went to his office, he said that he had not come at all today.

This couldn't have been forgotten, so it could only be Zhang Tan's intention.

He Miao didn't want to wait any longer and called Zhang Tan to ask. The answer he got was that he hadn't figured it out yet and he would think about it again.

"What did he say?" Cai Yonglai, the deputy director of the Film and Television Department, who was also in He Miao's office, asked.

He Miao put away the phone and said, "Zhang Tan said that he hasn't thought about it yet and should take it easy for a while."

Cai Yonglai thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm afraid he is deliberately trying to keep us dry for a while."

He Miao also smiled and said, "I'm afraid that's what I mean."

"This boy."

"You can't treat him like a recent graduate."

"He was a pretty silly guy when he first came here last year."

"People always grow, what should we do now?"

What Zhang Tan conveyed was actually very obvious, that is, he was dissatisfied with the suggestions given by the company. If you were satisfied, you would have agreed long ago. What else do you need to consider? This is a workplace excuse. Just like when the interviewer said during the interview that he would go back and wait for news, in fact there will be no news in the future. Even if there is, it is not good news.

In fact, after He Miao finished talking to Zhang Tan yesterday, Zhang Tan didn't reply to him on the spot, so he realized that Zhang Tan might have dissatisfactory thoughts.

Knew it.

From their point of view, the conditions given to Zhang Tan were already very sincere. They gave money and bought the script. The only difference from before was that they did not immediately start filming.

This model is the most common in the entertainment industry. In the past, taking out a script, immediately evaluating it, and immediately forming a team to start filming was an unconventional operating model.

Which project is not polished over and over again and lasts for several years.

The conditions they offered Zhang Tan were reasonable and they even gave him great preferential treatment.

The two discussed in the office for a while. Cai Yonglai meant that since Zhang Tan wanted to show off to them for a while, then they should let him show off and see who could keep his temper.

He Miao was a little worried: "Don't do the opposite."

Zhang Tan is now very popular in the industry, and there are many people who want to poach him. If he is poached, they will cry.

Cai Yonglai is not very worried. The screenwriter is not only responsible for writing the story, but also responsible for turning the story into a film and television. This is a team project and involves a huge amount of work. It is not a game of house, just change to another company.

Who can guarantee that you will be better off if you change jobs? As a newcomer like Zhang Tan, the most important thing now is to stay calm, polish yourself seriously, and realize your talent and potential, instead of transferring away from the current environment where you grew up for some benefits. That is a gamble. If you bet correctly, you will not be much better than you are now, but If you make the wrong bet, you will be ruining your future.

Are there few talented people in the entertainment industry? Too much.

Are there many young talents like Zhang Tan? Every year, not many but certainly not none.

But where have all these people gone? Just sliding down like a meteor.

Zhang Tan is dazzling now, but he still needs to grow.

"A person's talent is limited. How many people have you seen who peaked at their debut, and for the rest of their lives have no works that surpass their debut works." Cai Yonglai said, warning He Miao to calm down. Since Zhang Tan is not in a hurry, they should not be in a hurry either. .

He added: "Zhang Tan is a smart man and knows how to choose. The current environment in the film studio may not be the best for him, but it must be the best. As for the conditions, they cannot be compared. There is no best, only the best. Even better, even if we raise the conditions to a higher level, there will always be companies that will offer better conditions."

He Miao: "I hope you are right."

Cai Yonglai: "Don't be confused by a young man. We need him and he needs us. Cooperation is a win-win situation. If we divide, we both lose. We understand, and so does he. But you are right, Zhang Tan, we are You absolutely cannot let him go, you must keep him in the studio, but you have to be careful about it. You don’t want to chill him, and you don’t ask for anything. If you satisfy him now, what else can you give him in the future? Give him shares. Really? He is only 23 years old and has a long way to go."

He Miao thought that what Cai Yong said made sense, so he listened to him and put aside Zhang Tan's matter for the time being.

In the evening, Little Red Horse Academy.

The setting sun hangs over the high-rise buildings in the sky, and the sunset dyes half of the sky red. Five-pointed stars appear on the blue sky. The moon seems to be printed on it, sitting on the top of a hill each with the setting sun.

In the yard of Little Red Horse Academy, the night wind blows, the grove rustles, the leaves tremble, bringing coolness, and the grass and trees emit fragrance after a day of sunshine.

The chirping of insects is caught in the night wind and carried wherever it blows.

Zhang Tan was cutting watermelon in the yard. Xiaobai stood aside and waited. He handed the first cut piece to Lao Li and asked Lao Li not to eat mulberry leaves but to eat watermelon.

Zhang Tan's knife skills are very good. With a few strokes, half of the large watermelon was cut into eight parts, while the other half was left uncut for the time being.

The watermelon was bright red and looked super delicious. Xiaobai swallowed secretly. Zhang Tan asked her to eat it. She carefully picked up a piece and handed it to Zhang Tan.

"You eat it yourself, I'll take it myself." Zhang Tan took a piece and took a bite. The iced watermelon was very refreshing.

"Is it delicious?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"It's delicious. Try it."

Xiaobai happily took a bite, and the watermelon juice flowed from the corner of his mouth and onto his clothes. His big eyes narrowed into a line, "It's so sweet."

The cicadas were chirping non-stop overhead, and the three of them were sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air and eating watermelon. Little Red Horse's other children hadn't arrived yet. Xiaobai was the first one, and the second one was... Xi'er was here.

Her laughter arrived before anyone arrived.

"Eh? Xiwawa, are you crying?" Xiaobai asked curiously. I saw Xi'er wearing a big pink helmet on her head. Compared to her small body, her head looked so big, like an alien with a big head, or a big-headed fly?

She was sent by Tan Jin'er. Tan Jin'er rode a small pink electric donkey today. She bought it newly. Xi'er was so happy that she immediately waved to the three people in the yard to see it, which made Tan Jin'er very embarrassed. .

Didn't she get a small promotion at work? Her salary was paid. In order to make commuting more convenient, she bought a small electric donkey. She just bought it this morning. In the afternoon, she took Xi'er to walk around Pujiang City for an afternoon. I saw the sea, ate seafood, and just came back from eating seafood.

After Zhang Tan finished watching the little pink electric donkey, he praised: "Great, Jin'er became the first person to buy a car from Little Red Horse. Congratulations."
