After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 46 A woman's curiosity
Inside the Kyoto Hotel.

The production team of "The Best of Us" is having a dinner party before the start of the production. Several main creative personnel in the group are there, including representatives of investors, director Liu Jianming, leading actors and actresses Tan Songyun, Guo Ming and so on.

Li Man was also invited as a guest. Originally, the crew wanted Li Man to invite the author Hongwen to come too.Generally, if a novel is adapted into a TV series, the investor will invite the author, and the author will also be a guest writer. This is not only to respect the author but also for better publicity.For example, he is one of the screenwriters for the TV adaptation of MG's "Chasing Dream Youth".

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

In fact, Li Man really asked Chen Tianhong this time. Chen Tianhong's answer was that he still had to attend class, so he refused. It's not a must-go occasion.

Tan Songyun was still a little disappointed because she couldn't meet the author Hongwen. Like all the fans of "The Best of Us", she wanted to meet Hongwen very much. The actors are also star chasing.

Tan Songyun was very happy to be able to play Geng Geng, the heroine of the TV series this time. She thought it was the director Liu Jianming who helped, but when she thanked Liu Jianming, she was told that the author of "The Best of Us" named her to play the heroine Geng Geng, this made Tan Songyun's heart turbulent, and the desire to see the author Hongwen became stronger.

At the dinner, Li Man sat next to Tan Songyun. It was she who took the initiative to sit down. Li Man had something in his heart that he always wanted to ask Tan Songyun.

"Geng Geng, my sister asked you about someone."

Li Man now directly calls Tan Songyun Geng Geng, this nickname is very affectionate.

"Sister Man, tell me."

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

"Do you know Chen Tianhong?"

After saying this, Li Man carefully stared at the expression on Tan Songyun's face. Li Man was always 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 is indeed suitable for the image of Geng Geng, but the question is how did Chen Tianhong know Tan Songyun, or there is a relationship between the two people that she does not know.Li Man is still a woman in essence. There is a famous saying in her previous 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 the No.1 in the National Middle School Students Literature Competition, he has gained a little fame.But there are too many well-known things happening in the country every day, it is impossible for everyone to know him and know his name.After all, Chen Tianhong was just a student. People in the entertainment industry like Tan Songyun had more activities every day, so it was normal to be unclear.

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

Li Man saw Tan Songyun's puzzled and bewildered face when he spoke, and his expression didn't seem to be fake.

"Could it be that the two of them really don't know each other, that's weird."

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

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

"Mr. Li, I would like to offer you a toast. Thank you for giving our company the right to adapt the TV series "The Best of Us". We will definitely make this drama well."

The representative of the investor, surnamed Dong, was white and fat, with a signature smile on his face forever, and he looked like a veteran in the social circle.

"Producer Dong, you are too 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 "The Best of Us" TV series will break the record when it is released."

Li Man picked up the wine glass politely and touched Supervisor Dong, and took two sips of the red wine in the glass.

"Mr. Li, I have something to tell you in advance. When we negotiated the contract, you asked to start filming as soon as possible. Now we are in a little trouble. Originally, we had already negotiated with a school in Kyoto and agreed to let our crew go Borrowing the scene to shoot. But now the situation has changed, the principal of that school has been transferred. The new principal has not yet been negotiated, so the date of shooting may have to be postponed."

Producer Dong said with an apologetic face.

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

"Is there a change in the school where the scene was filmed? Director Dong, I don't think it is necessary for our crew to choose Kyoto as the filming location."

"Oh? According to Mr. Li, there is a better location for filming?"

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

"Does Supervisor Dong know what the school names of the hero and heroine in the novel "The Best of Us" are?"

Li Man did not speak directly, but asked a question, which is the skill of speaking.It is the crew's job to choose the location for filming. If Li Man directly recommends the location, it will make the investor feel uncomfortable.This involves the interests of the crew, and it is uncomfortable whether people accept it or not.

Therefore, you should be more tactful when speaking, and pay attention to mutual respect when doing business.After all, the right to adapt the novel to a TV series has already been sold to someone else, so Li Man can't participate too much in the crew.

"This"

Producer Dong looked embarrassed, he really hadn't read this novel.

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

"The school in the novel is called Zhenhua Middle School!" Tan Songyun replied.

Supervisor Dong and Li Man both cast kind eyes on Tan Songyun, her words can be said to resolve the embarrassing situation.

"In fact, 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 won No.1 in the National Middle School Students Literature Competition not long ago."

Li Man continued to speak with a smile.

Supervisor Dong suddenly realized, he understood the meaning of Li Man's words.

"Mr. Li, you mean that you can go to this school to take pictures. Yes, there is no other school that is more suitable than this school. The novel comes from reality, and there is also a Zhenhua Middle School in reality, which 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 when she heard these words. In reality, there really is a Zhenhua Middle School. What the producer said is quite interesting. The novel comes from reality. Is it possible that the author is 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, and her curiosity also arose, and she couldn't wait to go to Zhenhua Middle School in reality.

In the principal's office of Zhenhua Middle School.

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

Principal Ding Xiong turned the teacup in his hand, staring at Cao Bing closely with a pair of small eyes.

"Principal, I asked, and Chen Tianhong said he didn't write it. Principal, I think it's fine if he doesn't admit it. Isn't it very good for us to do this? The school regulations clearly stipulate that students are not allowed to read and study during school. Irrelevant novels. As a class teacher, I ask my students about youth love stories every day, so how can I guide my students?"

Cao Bing had a look of resentment.

Ding Xiong didn't answer the conversation, he heard that there was no result, so his eyes shifted to the teacup in his hand.

But I was slandering in my heart, if you don't go, whoever will go, I don't want to lose face as a principal, if you are embarrassed as a class teacher, you can be embarrassed, anyway, it's not me who is embarrassed, this is a typical mentality of a dead friend who never dies.

The phone on the desk rang, and Ding Xiong didn't need to look to know that it was the Director of Education. This Director Zhang called once a day to ask about the progress.

This is one level of pressure, the big cat eats the small fish.

"Mr. Cao, please find some time to ask again. Go ahead and do your work."

"I still have to ask."

Cao Bing stared at Ding Xiong with grief and indignation. If eyes could kill, Ding Xiong would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.It's a pity that the arms still couldn't hold back the thighs. Whoever let him be the principal, Cao Bing could only stomp his feet and go out helplessly.

"Hey, Director Zhang! I'll tell you if I have any news, don't worry."

"Principal Ding is not about that. If the kid doesn't admit it, let's stop asking. His dumpling leaked, and sooner or later his stuff will be exposed. I'm talking about another happy event now."

Director Zhang's broken gong-like voice came from the phone.

"Which leader is coming over again?"

"It's not the leader, it's the TV crew. It's the big crew from Kyoto. I want to go to your school to borrow a scene to shoot. It seems to be a TV series called "The Best of Us". I just checked it out. Guess what, this The novel is in the same series and written by the same author as the "Hello Old Times" that Mr. Zhu said. I guess it is our Chen Zhuangyuan. Principal Ding, you must cooperate with the filming of this crew. Of course, people will also give You pay for it, this is your school’s own income.”

Director Zhang still speaks very fast, explaining the matter clearly in two to three minutes.

"Director Zhang, it's okay for the TV crew to come and shoot, but I can hear what you're saying. This TV show is about a student's love affair. Will this have a bad impact on the school? When Mr. Zhu came last time, you It also made me pay attention to the thoughts of the students at school, and pay close attention to puppy love."

Ding Xiong expressed his worries, it is a good thing to make the school more famous.But it also depends on what kind of reputation it is. If it is famous for being a student romance, it is not a good thing.

"Principal Ding, how can you think like that? This is a TV series. It's a different matter. The students' educational thoughts should be grasped or must be grasped. There is no conflict. Let me tell you that some leaders have specifically said hello to this matter. Don't talk to me. Bargaining."

Now that it's all said and done, what else can Ding Xiong say, he can only agree that the official university level crushes people to death, and it should be regarded as generating income for the school.
