Dad Academy

Chapter 626 Xiaobai cried and said to Zhang Tan... (13)

In the evening, Wu Zhensheng stayed in a hotel arranged by the crew. The other leading actors, as long as they were not from Peiping, also stayed here. The screenwriter was usually close to the actors to facilitate communication.

"Aren't you staying?" Wu Zhensheng asked curiously when he saw Zhang Tan was leaving.

"I live there too. My room is next door to yours, but I have something to do and will come back later. You can rest early. The opening ceremony will be held at 8:58 tomorrow on the set."

Wu Zhensheng didn't say anything more. He returned to the room. It was a deluxe single room with a balcony. He looked around and was very satisfied. When he came to the balcony, he had a good view. In front of him was a large area of ​​antique buildings. The gray buildings in the hutong are in sharp contrast to the gorgeous modern high-rise buildings all around. This is a metropolis with a thousand-year cultural heritage, and its style is very different from Pujiang.

He suddenly noticed Zhang Tan standing on the side of the road downstairs. A red car slowly stopped beside him. Zhang Tan opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. The car slowly drove away again. There was only a pause for a few seconds.

Wu Zhensheng couldn't see who the driver was, but he judged from all aspects that it was a woman.

It turns out that Zhang Tan went with his girlfriend, Wu Zhensheng thought to himself, and looked at the road again, but the red car could no longer be found. The traffic from all directions merged into a bright long dragon, which was very similar to the Pujiang River.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Wu Zhensheng washed up and went out to have breakfast. When he passed Zhang Tan's room next to him, he thought about it and rang the doorbell, but no one opened the door. Zhang Tan didn't seem to come back.

He was a little worried that Zhang Tan would delay the morning start-up ceremony. When he arrived at the set, he saw Zhang Tan already dressed neatly and talking to the actor who starred in Ah Xing.

Zhang Tan's outfit today was a little more formal than before, wearing a white striped shirt and gray loose trousers that were very drapey. This is standard for formal occasions, but if the weather is cooler, you can wear it with a blazer. But now the weather in Peiping is still in early autumn, the sun is shining brightly during the day and the temperature is very warm. However, Zhang Tan folded the sleeves of his white shirt, exposing half of his arms, and tucked one side of the hem into his trousers, which made him appear more lively and less rigid. It can be seen from this detail that Wu Zhensheng thought to himself that this was definitely not Zhang Tan's own order, but most likely the idea given by the girl last night.

"Zhen Sheng is here?" Zhang Tan noticed him, smiled and waved to call him over.

Wu Zhensheng came over and greeted the actor: "Hello Mr. Zhou."

"Just call me Ah Yang, that's what my friends call me." The full name of the actor who plays Ah Xing is Zhou Zhengyang.

Wu Zhensheng joined in the conversation while quietly sizing up Zhou Zhengyang.

He met Zhou Zhengyang at the script seminar yesterday, but there were many people at the time and they didn't have such a face-to-face communication.

Zhou Zhengyang is of medium build, a little on the thin side. He has long hair that hangs down to his neck, covering his ears. Only when his long hair is parted can you see a face that has been weathered by years, with an unshaven beard and a decadent look.

When people reach middle age, many people will gain weight, their faces will appear richer, and they will become bigger and bigger, like a plate, and lose the edges and handsomeness of their youth.

Zhou Zhengyang is 40 this year. He has won two Best Actor trophies. Most of the actors of his generation have shown off their richness. Only he seems to have skipped this link and entered the next link, like a balloon being inflated by air. Later, it slowly disappeared and gradually shrank.

Zhou Zhengyang has not put on weight. His face still maintains the appearance of his youth, and is even thinner than before. His face has accumulated more time and is no longer smooth, firm and fair. The nasolabial folds and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are obvious, which makes people sad and distressed.

The vitality and handsomeness of his youth have disappeared from him, but another kind of charm of a mature man has arisen. Wu Zhensheng prefers Zhou Zhengyang's current calmness compared to his previous high spirits. As long as he stands there, everything about him, including his temperament, is a story to be discovered. People can't help but be quiet, watching him, waiting for him to come up with something.

Zhou Zhengyang's outfit today is similar to Zhang Tan's, with a white shirt and trousers, but the trousers are white and gray, and the shirt is a short-sleeved shirt. Both are made of linen and wrinkled. The whole person's image and temperament are the same as those next to him. Zhang Tan is completely different.

This is what Zhou Zhengyang wears in the play. Since the filming will start immediately after the opening ceremony, actors often put on their costumes directly to attend the opening ceremony in order to save time.

Wu Zhensheng chatted for a while, then took the initiative to say goodbye and go to work. He always kept his responsibilities in mind, but Zhang Tan gave this place to him.

At 8:40 in the morning, the staff came over to remind Zhang Tan and Zhou Zhengyang that it was time to line up and the power-on ceremony would begin immediately.

Huo Xuyong from Zhongcheng Company came and accompanied the chairman. The whole company attached great importance to the film.

At 8:58, under the arrangement of the host, the main creative staff collectively burned incense, the director came on stage and gave a speech. The ceremony ended and the staff arranged for the media reporters to leave. The people on site performed their duties, were busy but not in a hurry, and were ready to start filming immediately.

Zhang Tan stayed in Peiping for a week, and the crew quickly adjusted and was on track. At this time, he received a secret phone call from Xiaobai, telling him with a cry that his grandma was going back and refused to tell him.

Zhang Tan comforted Xiaobai not to cry yet, and bought a plane ticket to fly back to Pujiang that day. When he arrived at Xiaohongma, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

The academy is very quiet, the lights are dim, and the classroom on the first floor is dark. The children have either been taken home or have rested in the dormitories on the second floor. The wind is blowing the leaves of the small forest, making a rustling sound, and there are already some leaves on the ground. The leaves have fallen, autumn is here.

"came back?"

At the edge of the grove, which was flickering in and out of light, Lao Li's voice suddenly sounded. Zhang Tan was startled and took a closer look. Lao Li was sitting leisurely on the rocking chair drinking tea as usual. Seeing him like this, Hey and hey without the slightest apology.

"Why don't you make any noise while you're sitting here?" Zhang Tan asked.

"I will be here whether there is any noise or not, and I will never leave unless I leave."

Lao Li was nagging, thinking that drinking too much tea would lead to Zen enlightenment, but in fact, there was no other gain except frequent urination and non-yellow urine.

"It's still a bit cold at night. You old man, please take it easy and don't imitate the young ones who grow out of season."

"I know, let's go~"

Lao Li waved his hand, as if chasing Dudu and Liuliu away, as if to say: Go to Pippi Pig, don't mind the uncle's business.

In this academy, although he is the gatekeeper, he is also an uncle. This old man used to call him Mr. Zhang, but now he doesn't call him. Now he just skips the title. I'll leave it here. You can figure it out for yourself whether it means what I said to you.

After passing the second floor, Zhang Tan saw Teacher Xiaoman.

"The boss is back. Is everything going well?"

Teacher Xiaoman saw the news about the launch of "Kung Fu", and also saw Zhang Tan in the news. They were all talking privately, saying that from the photos, Zhang Tan looked more like the lead actor, so handsome.

"Thank you, it went very well. Thank you for your hard work. Who else is here tonight?"

"Ding Xiaohai, Luo Zikang, Cheng Cheng..."

She named several names.

"Why is Cheng Cheng still here?"

For some time, Cheng Cheng has been picked up at ten o'clock in the evening, sometimes by Meng Guangxin, sometimes by Cheng Cheng's mother.

"I don't know either." Teacher Xiaoman said.

"Okay, you should go to bed early when you're done."

"Well, thank you, boss. Oh, by the way, boss, Teacher Xiaoliu started going home to raise her baby the day before yesterday. Principal Huang approved it."

Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, the principal told me, is Xiaoliu okay? I estimate she is only 7 months old."

In fact, Aunt Huang didn't tell him about this, but it didn't matter. He was just concerned about whether Xiaoliu was feeling unwell.

Teacher Xiaoman said with some concern: "She is a little weak. The doctor said that she should rest during this period and not work hard. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's good. I'll buy some things. You can go see her for me when you are free one day."

"thank you boss."

Zhang Tan returned home, washed up and got ready to go to bed, and we would discuss the matter tomorrow. Only then did he notice that there was an unread text message from Su Lan on his phone.

"???"

Just three question marks.

Obviously she didn't understand why he returned to Pujiang without saying a word, without telling her beforehand.
