Chapter 42 Birdman
Ma Yiming raised his head and almost fell to the ground.
“Director Zhuang!”
He quickly stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yang looked back and saw Zhuang Mei standing behind him.
The restaurant Zhang Chu was looking for was an Internet celebrity restaurant with a very elegant environment. Ma Yiming's movement attracted everyone's attention. Zhuang Mei pressed her hand down, "You sit down, my friends and I will come over for dinner."
She smiled and asked: "Are you talking about cooperation?"
Ma Yiming glanced at Zhang Chu and then at Zhou Hao, "Oh, um, our program has planned an episode of early childhood education-related content. It just so happens that this customer can provide us with venue support, so let's have a chat."
Zhuang Mei thinks it’s pretty good. Producer Ma didn’t forget to work on Saturday, “Let’s chat.”
She turned around after taking three steps and said, "Jiang Yang."
"ah?"
Jiang Yang looked at him.
Zhuang Mei looked at the white wine on their table and said, "Your wife asked you to drink less wine."
"oh."
Jiang Yang agreed.
Zhuang Mei disappeared in the direction of Yajian.
Jiang Yang turned around and saw Ma Yiming, Zhang Chu and Zhou Haoquan looking at him.
Zhou Hao: "You, do you know her?"
Jiang Yang nodded: "My wife's best friend."
Zhou Hao and the other three looked at each other, and Ma Yiming leaned back. It's over, what kind of business is this? The spy is around, and he listened to everything they just said. If this is relayed back, Ma Yiming will think to himself. Still able to please.
He looked back at Zhou Hao and pointed at Jiang Yang, "Hey, you, I—"
Zhou Hao comforted him, then turned around and asked Jiang Yang: "You know Zhuang Mei, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jiang Yang blinked innocently, "You didn't ask."
Zhou Hao thinks it makes sense.
He told Ma Yiming not to be too sensitive. He said all the bad things he said about Zhuang Mei just now, "It has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Hao also felt that Jiang Yang would not say anything.
Jiang Yang nodded.
He won't tell Zhuang Mei, but if his wife asks, then Jiang Yang can't guarantee it. He can't do it because it affects their relationship as husband and wife. The boss will give him as much as his wife gives him.
The food is here.
"Now?"
Zhang Chu looked at Ma Yiming and Zhou Hao.
Ma Yiming picked up his chopsticks and said, "I'll give you a signboard advertisement. The brand logo will appear on the fixed screen for three seconds. The rest of it won't be anything related to the brand. If you think it's okay, we'll go to Taiwan to discuss it on Monday."
Failing that, even if the program is filmed in an agency, the program team will pay the venue fee, and the agency cannot use the program for any advertising. They asked Zhuang Mei to be arrested on the spot, and their original plan was definitely not going to work.
Zhang Chu thinks it’s okay too.
The variety show "My Dad" is the number one variety show on Kyoto TV. With their strength, other advertisements cannot be obtained. It is good to bite the bullet and get a signboard advertisement, which can be used for promotion.
They had discussed cooperation, but Ma Yiming was still angry.
He turned to look at Zhou Hao, "You—"
Zhou Hao hasn't spoken yet. From the corner of their eyes, they saw Zhang Chu picking up food for Jiang Yang, and he also praised Jiang Yang's football skills. It was also a matchmaking. The relationship with Jiang Yang was much higher. Zhang Chu felt that it was always right to build a good relationship. .
“Ahem.”
Ma Yiming stopped talking.
Zhou Hao looked at Jiang Yang and said, forget it, this is a man who is not short of money or people. He is sitting in his temple. That is because he appreciates his small temple and may still need it in the future. .
Li Qingning is filming a video.
She had just ordered a fish and looked up to see Zhuang Mei coming in and asked her, "Have you seen it?"
●Today’s advertising shoot went surprisingly smoothly.
After the commercial was filmed, Li Qingning received a call from Zhuang Mei. She asked Li Qingning to have dinner together. She happened to be nearby, so Li Qingning picked her up. After discussing it in the car, Zhuang Mei said that this restaurant was good, and Jiang Yang happened to be there. They Just came over.
When they came in, they saw Jiang Yang. Zhuang Mei recognized Ma Yiming and Zhou Hao at a glance, and wanted to go over and listen to what they were talking about. Li Qingning gave her an excuse.
Zhuang Mei sat down and said, "I saw it."
She listened and knew what they were talking about.
Li Qingning asked her: "That boss in Jiangyang, I heard he is quite talented?"
Zhuang Mei picked up the chopsticks and said, "There are two brushes."
It means laziness and greed for money. The work in the office is not dedicated and perfunctory. Outside, there is plenty of private work, so it is hard to work hard. It's not just him. Anyone who works in a TV station and has a formal establishment is not a talent. But once you have secured this iron rice bowl and realized the principle that you can do nothing within the system but cannot make mistakes, you will become a master of fishing.
Zhuang Mei said that Taili was undergoing restructuring, and Zhou Hao couldn't stand it, so he went out to work alone.
Li Qingning picked up a piece of fish with public chopsticks and put it on his plate. "I heard from Jiang Yang that his company has several shareholders who belong to your TV station."
Zhuang Mei doesn’t know.
Li Qingning asked her to help ask.
She thinks Jiang Yang is doing well in this company.
“He has a little social anxiety.”
In other words, if you are not good at sociability, you can play with people who are into you and like to communicate with them. But if you are not into it, then staying together is a kind of torture.
Zhou Hao seems to have quite an appetite for Jiang Yang this time.
Zhuang Mei agreed.
Jiang Yang was not in the mood to eat, and the game was over quickly.
Jiang Yang came over to Zhou Hao after they separated. Li Qingning asked him if he was full, "Would you like some more?"
Jiang Yang, no need, he just focused on eating.
“Jiangyang.”
Jiang Yang said that it would be good if he didn't embarrass Zhou Hao. This was equivalent to working overtime on Saturdays without any pay.
After a meal.
Li Qingning asked Sister Xia to send his assistant back and pick them up later.
They went shopping.
While they were shopping in Jiangyang, Luo Beini heard the phone ringing in her sleep.
She touched it with her eyes closed and answered: "Hello?"
“Hi, Luo.”
On the other end of the phone was an editor from a publishing house. He regretfully told Robin that their publishing house was not optimistic about the prospects of the book "84 Charing Cross Street". "This is really a book written by a Chinese," he said. A book?”
The editor asked incredulously.
“Hank, I know this is incredible, but this book was indeed written by a Chinese, you—”
Hank over there: "Well, that's a shame."
He hung up the phone.
Robinie threw her phone aside, drifting in sleepiness and irritability. The domestic publishing house gave her the foreign publishing agency rights, and she went to several publishing houses, but this was the result in the end. The reasons for rejection by these publishing houses are all the same. Either they are really not optimistic about it, or they think that this epistolary book was written by a Chinese, which is untrustworthy and risky.
Luo Beini has explained to them many times that this book was written by a Chinese female star, and there is no possibility of plagiarism. However, not many people listened to it. Luo Beini was very upset about this. This book was written by a Chinese. , what can she do, stuff it back?
Just when she was about to fall asleep again, her phone rang again.
“Benny! This book is great!”
As soon as the call was connected, there was a lot of chattering on the other side, "Who is the anonymous author?"
Robiny told him that an anonymous person is someone who doesn’t know his name and is someone who doesn’t want to reveal his name.
“Oh, I get it, I get it.”
The other person suddenly said, "Benny, when will you come to the publishing house, let's talk about publishing matters."
"okay."
Robiny hung up the phone. After waiting for a while, she woke up and sat up from the bed instantly.
weekend.
Li Qingning and a beautiful personal trainer were exercising at home, and Jiang Yang came down for a walk.
The forest and greenery in the community are connected to the park, with only a high wall separating them. Jiang Yang walked all the way to the park, and suddenly went from the quiet woods to the noisy world. On weekends, there are many people in the park, and there is exercise There are also people camping with children. In a corner of the woods is a place where a group of old people carry bird cages to discuss their experience in raising birds.
Jiang Yang met the old man who was complaining about his voice in the community again here.
He was surrounded by a group of older men, and he was in high spirits, far from being as listless as what he had seen in the community in the morning.
They were playing with the birds, and they saw this old man they saw in the community. He took a small stick and pulled it in front of the bird cage, and made a "tsk" sound in his mouth. Then the bird in the cage made the sound of the bird in his hometown. The sound of chirping in the woods. Then, the bird's timbre changed and turned into the call of the mountain magpie.
"Hey!"
The onlookers applauded.
Jiang Yang couldn't help but stop. Unexpectedly, he then heard the cries of birds imitating cats and the cries of chickens competing for food. After the cries came to an end, the old man pressed the stick on the cage, and the birds stopped. called.
"Why!"
The onlookers were still wondering, "Why don't you let me scream?"
The uncle said proudly: "After the condom is done, you go into the garden to listen to the play. Isn't there anyone who can rest in the meantime?"
The older men watching said "oh" and asked him for advice.
Jiang Yang looked at it strangely, stopped barking, and walked away. He just didn't know why, but the scene was a bit familiar, and some fragments flashed through his mind. After walking for a while, he saw a person kicking a tree for exercise. .
A man came by with two birdcages in his hand, "Excuse me, can you change the place?"
With a sudden jerk.
Jiang Yang remembered that there was a similar scene in the drama "Birdman" he had watched. Jiang Yang likes this drama very much. If he has a chance, he must reproduce it and let people in this world watch it to satisfy his desire to share. But this drama is too profound, and in his mind It's all sporadic fragments, and I'm afraid it's not something a rookie like him can reproduce in a short time.
After passing through the woods, there is a basketball court.
When they were in Pingchang District, Jiang Yang and Hou Bing often sneaked to the basketball court of the university to play basketball. They had made an appointment this week. Hou Bing had something to do, and Wang Gang and Sister Ying had asked for leave to return to the county town. They were busy picking up the tickets. With a marriage certificate and busy buying a house, there are no golfers in Jiangyang.
Jiang Yang watched for a while outside the stadium.
"Hey!"
Suddenly a basketball flew towards him.
Jiang Yang took it and turned around to see that he was also convinced, "How come I can meet you there?"
It was Zhou Hao who threw the ball at him.
He was wearing his jersey and sneakers and was covered in sweat.
Zhou Hao said: "I'm still asking you, are you following me?"
"roll!"
Jiang Yang threw the ball over, "I live here."
Zhou Hao said it was a coincidence that his home was also here.
The reason why he set up the company in its current location is to be close to home.
Li Qingning also thought so, so her company is also where it is now.
Jiang Yang was curious. As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the two of them saying in unison: "Where is your home?"
“There!”
Two people refer to each other at the same time, but one is south and the other is north.
Zhou Hao gave a thumbs up, "You're awesome."
He lives in an old house, left by his parents. Of course, because it is located in the third ring road, it is still very valuable. But no matter how valuable it is, a house is probably not worth a room in the community pointed by Jiang Yang. That community is full of celebrity bosses.
Zhou Hao greeted Jiang Yang: "Come to play for a while?"
"OK!"
Jiang Yang took off his coat and joined in.
Zhou Hao has been around since he was a child, and Zhou Hao knows all these players. He asked Jiang Yang to join the opponent's team, but Zhou Hao quickly ran into Jiang Yang's team.
Jiang Yang is tall and is better at playing football than kicking the ball. Zhou Hao chose to hug his thigh between defeat and hugging his thigh.
The fight lasted until noon before they dispersed.
