The Spring Festival was not an important festival for Han. On the contrary, Han people paid more attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was not because they were independent or had applied for the cultural heritage of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was their tradition. If the Spring Festival was passed down from ancient times, Han people would definitely apply for the cultural heritage of the Spring Festival.
Therefore, there were only three days of legal holidays during the Spring Festival. The people did not have any special emotions, unlike the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was similar to the Chinese New Year in the Chinese world. As soon as the three-day holiday ended, everyone naturally returned to their respective positions. As for Tian Xingjian and the rest, they worked overnight. They only had two days to plan, and then they had to submit the plan to CJ Company. After that, the company would decide which team to send to Hong Kong to meet up with the other party.
"Brother Shen Lie, I feel that our plan is no different from other teams. It's all based on luck. I think we should write a special feature.”Tian Xingjian didn't feel tired after a busy night. It was normal for him to stay up late. After breakfast, he saw Shen Lie smoking and ran over.
"Oh, then tell me, what direction should we follow to write the plan?”Shen Lie was very interested in this young director who graduated from America. In fact, Tian Xingjian was only one of the young directors he had trained. In his previous company, he had more than ten young directors like Tian Xingjian. However, this time, he only brought Tian Xingjian with him.
This kid had graduated from a famous university and was also an American citizen. Of course, the most important thing was that this kid was very good at bootlicking. He was also very skilled. He never lacked gifts during the holidays and even helped him deal with the troublesome matters of the two girls. This was the main reason why he brought Tian Xingjian to the bigger CJ company. Perhaps the last one was the most crucial.
"I've seen some of the script outlines that the other party sent over. This is a script for filming ancient China. We should use the history of China to explain things, and not show the bosses the script that was filmed. We should explain it from the perspective that we have already participated in the filming, and not criticize the other party for being unfair from the perspective of outsiders.”Tian Xingjian still took advantage of the time when everyone was asleep to secretly check on the introduction of the Myths. For this, he once again sent another 2000 US dollars to the World Food Program.
This was just information. In the future, he could just open a Baidu Encyclopedia to find something, but now he had to spend 2000 US dollars to browse it. Tian Xingjian was in so much pain that he was dying. This was half of his dividends from last year.
"Tell me!" Shen Lie was very interested when he heard that. He felt that the person he brought out this time was indeed the right one. This kid was not only good at coming up with things, but also always brought him surprises when he was in trouble. This was the case for the two scripts last year. Otherwise, he would not have negotiated with Mirovision as a reward for jumping ship. He did not want to bear the reputation of betraying his master for glory. Now, in his previous company, Shen Lie had a benevolent image. No one thought that he had abandoned this half-dead company for glory and wealth. The company that had single-handedly nurtured his current achievements.
" Brother Shen Lie, you must know about China's Qin State. This time, we're using the Qin State as the background for a time-traveling scene. Actually, this kind of old-fashioned shooting method has long appeared in the M Nation, such as the movie 'Back to the Future.' However, this time, we're using the method of going back in time. What we need to show is our understanding of China and ancient China…" Whether it was the information that Tian Xingjian had found on his website or the initiative of the Xi'an people in his previous life, he explained it clearly and logically. In addition to myths and unofficial history, it made Brother Shen Lie dizzy.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. When we go back later, we'll write a plan in this direction.”Shen Lie was naturally skeptical about Tian Xingjian's words, but he knew that this was a very good goal, especially when it came to writing the plan based on the case itself, unlike other departments who had received the same case and shouted that it was unfair and demanded to officially participate in the production of the film.
As for where Tian Xingjian got the movie outline, he didn't ask. A mouse had its hole and a snake had its way. Everyone had their own sources of information, just like he had other resources. As long as you could get it, it would be your ability. He only cared about the results of this time. If he got the approval of the company to let them participate in the film, it would naturally be a happy ending. If he didn't get to participate in the filming of the film, at least he would have seen the creativity of Tian Xingjian again, right?
He had nothing to lose anyway. He also believed that he would definitely be in the top three in the internal selection this time. As for whether he could really be selected, it would depend on his operation. The reason why Shen Lie could set up an independent department as soon as he came to CJ was not only because of his decades of hard work in the industry, but also because of his various connections. Otherwise, why would CJ give you an independent creative department for newcomers?
After they finished smoking, the two of them returned to the office one after the other. This was Tian Xingjian's own way of doing things. Although everyone secretly knew that he had reported to Shen Lie again, on the surface, the two of them had a normal relationship of superior and subordinate. No one could gossip about them, at least in the eyes of other departments.
Being a lackey was not something that could be done just because one wanted to. Not only did one have to know how to suck up, but they also had to have skills. If Shen Lie could get promoted just by finding a few girls, then everyone in the department could find a few D-list or D-list celebrities to introduce to Shen Lie. The most important thing was to find someone who could help him solve the problem after the incident.
Back to normal work, it was almost noon when Shen Lie announced the change in direction of the plan again. The direction was naturally the plan that Tian Xingjian had mentioned before. As for the plan that Shen Lie had proposed, Tian Xingjian did not feel disgusted at all. This was the unspoken rule in the industry. The boss ate the fruit, and the people below drank the soup. If Tian Xingjian felt indignant because of this and felt that Shen Lie had completely used his creativity, then he did not know which crew he was working in.
If Tian Xingjian didn't know what was good for him, he could get the full screenwriter's bonus. Don't joke around, this bit of money was nothing in Shen Lie's eyes. Moreover, Tian Xingjian knew that although the previous two movies didn't lose money, they didn't earn much either. The fact that he could still get dividends was definitely because of Shen Lie's influence in the previous company. Otherwise, how could they, who had jumped ship, get the compensation from the previous company?
The new plan was originally Tian Xingjian's idea. In the afternoon, he and a few colleagues settled it. This kind of thing was clear in the eyes of his colleagues. Don't think that Tian Xingjian was the only one who knew about the history of China. This group of people could find out even if they checked the Internet. Tian Xingjian's participation was just icing on the cake.
After a tiring day and night, Shen Lie told them to get off work early. Although it was less than an hour before they officially got off work, they were still very happy. Moreover, it was a big benefit to come to work at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Tian Xingjian wasn't in a hurry to leave. He waited for a few kittens to leave the office and knocked on Shen Lie's office door again,"Brother Shen Lie, do you have time this afternoon to have dinner together?"”
"Hehe, there's no need. I still have an appointment tonight. This proposal is not bad. If it can be settled tonight, you can follow me to Hong Kong this time!”Shen Lie chuckled as he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and threw it to Tian Xingjian.
"Thank you, Brother Shen Lie. American cigarettes are not bad!”Tian Xingjian fiddled with the cigarette in his hand and laughed.”
After bidding farewell to Shen Lie, Tian Xingjian heaved a sigh of relief. Although they didn't have dinner this time, he had gotten some information from Shen Lie. It seemed that Shen Lie was also going to have a meal with the higher-ups to discuss the matter of the accompanying team. It wasn't surprising that he didn't bring Tian Xingjian along. After all, he was an assistant director, not Shen Lie's secretary or assistant.
Shen Lie and Tian Xingjian would not do such a thing as publicly announcing their side. Otherwise, there would be conflicts between their colleagues. Moreover, they were able to jump over from Mirovision, which meant that they were on the same side. It would be too much to make a difference between close and distant.
After work, Tian Xingjian didn't have any special activities. He had just returned from Xinjia Hill and had worked overtime for a day and a night. He just wanted to run back to his house and have a good sleep. Tian Xingjian really felt the fatigue of the journey and staying up late when he walked out of the company. He was prepared to take a taxi back to the apartment today. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would miss the bus stop.
"Tian Xingjian!"
Tian Xingjian, who was stretching his body, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned around in surprise.”
Kim Yoonhee really wanted to kick the man in front of her face. What kind of tone was this b * stard using now? He sounded like a colleague." Why do you think I'm here? I work here, okay? Don't tell me you forgot!"”
"Well, why don't we go for a meal together?”Tian Xingjian was too embarrassed to reminisce with this woman at the company's main entrance. It was better to find a place, although he was very tired and wanted to go home and sleep.
"Your treat!" Jin Yunxi glared at Tian Xingjian, this bastard, with hatred. She was blind to date this bastard back then, but they only dated for a few months. Well, to be precise, it was a week. After staying at his house for a week, this bastard left.
"Of course, tell me where to go!" Tian Xingjian also felt that he was in the wrong. After all, he had taken advantage of her. A good virgin girl was harmed by him.
"Follow me!" Jin Yunxi said as she pulled Tian Xingjian to the parking lot.
"You already have a car. It's only been a few months.”Tian Xingjian was a little curious. It couldn't be. The two of them seemed to have just broken up. Well, if there was no phone call, then it was considered a breakup.
"Are you regretting it? Now you know how powerful I am!”Kim Yoonhee said unhappily. This bastard was indeed a man. That's right, he was the kind of ordinary man. Men changed after they got their hands on him. Indeed, men were the same before and after they slept.
"Yes, yes, yes. By the way, I brought you a gift this time. I've been working overtime for a day and a night. Why don't I give it to you tomorrow?”Tian Xingjian thought for a moment and decided to quickly repair the relationship between the two. Besides, the two of them didn't really break up. It was just that he needed to go home for the Spring Festival this time. Before he left, the two of them had an argument for some reason. Anyway, the two of them had tacitly broken up.
If he hadn't seen Jin Yunxi today, Tian Xingjian would have tacitly agreed to break up with this woman. When he went home yesterday, he found that Jin Yunxi had moved her things away and even left her keys. Although the two of them didn't say anything, they had tacitly agreed to break up.
"Forget it. I'm not worthy of a young master like you!”Kim Yoonhee was very angry. She was blind to have followed such a man, and in the end, she had given herself up on a whim. Today's meal was an official break-up meal. She wanted to let this bastard know how good a woman she was, and that he did not know how to cherish her.
"What are you talking about? I'm just a worker who lives under someone else's roof, okay?”Tian Xingjian was counting on getting a free ride to work in the future. At most, he would split the shipping fee equally." Oh right, my mother asked about you. She asked why you didn't go back with me during the Spring Festival.”
"Come on, didn't you bring your American girl back? Don't think that I don't know English!" Kim Yoonhee said as she walked to her own car. As she spoke, she gestured for Tian Xingjian to get into the car.
"Please, I already told you that she's my high school classmate in America, okay? Okay, okay, she's just an ex-girlfriend. You've watched so many American TV dramas, and you know that we're still friends after breaking up, okay? She just drank too much and complained to me, okay?”Tian Xingjian explained with a headache. He also remembered that the two of them had a big fight because of this.
"Calling you in the middle of the night? He even sent you that kind of photo?" Kim Yoonhee got angry when she said that. How could there be such a person?
"It's daytime in America. Besides, that was her prank, okay?”Tian Xingjian got into the car and started to look around. Although it was a very ordinary modern car, the smell of perfume inside made him feel very strange. He knew that Jin Yunxi's perfume was very cheap, and this smell was definitely not cheap perfume.
"Humph! I heard it all, stop explaining!”Jin Yunxi started the car indignantly, not caring whether Tian Xingjian had fastened his seatbelt or not. She deliberately stepped on the accelerator and dodged the bastard beside her.
"Alright, then I won't explain. But don't you think you're very bored? You eavesdropped on my phone and even peeked at my phone. I don't seem to be bothered by all of this, okay!”Tian Xingjian had received a western education since he was young, and he had fully realized how important privacy was overseas.
"You're saying this because you're bickering with me. Why did I look through your phone? I'm just concerned about you! Forget it, let's not talk about it!" Kim Yoonhee didn't want to talk about this anymore. Since she had decided to break up with this bastard, she didn't want to talk about the past anymore.
"Alright, then let's not talk about the past. Let's make this clear first. I only have this much in my pocket.”Tian Xingjian knew that it was boring to talk about the past, so he took out his wallet and slammed it on the car window.
"What's the password?" Kim Yoonhee was also furious. She directly used her fingers to pull the two bank cards and asked.
"It's your birthday. Didn't you set it up? I can't afford to pay you back. I spent some money on my trip back to Xinjiapo. You can spend as much as you want!”Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders.
"How much did you spend?" Kim Yoonhee glared at Tian Xingjian and asked.
"Oh, I bought gifts for my family and gave them food. Also, I gave my nephews and nieces some money. It's about 3-4000 yuan!”Tian Xingjian scratched his chin as he recalled. He still added the 2000 yuan he had spent on the materials yesterday.
"Dollars? Are you crazy? Do you have that much?" Kim Yoonhee heard him and slammed on the brakes again, causing Tian Xingjian's face to almost stick to the windshield. She knew how much money this bastard had on him. It was only a few hundred thousand Korean won, and that was including the year-end bonus.
"Uh, before I left, the company gave me 5 million won as a bonus for the script. I think I still have more than 2 million left.”Tian Xingjian didn't know how much money he had. Anyway, it was just a little bit, and he couldn't be bothered to calculate it. It wasn't a few million dollars. If he had that much, he wouldn't even think about downloading a few sold well works in the future. It would be best if they all had the 'unique' attribute.
"You, I want to go to Yeoui Island for a feast!”Jin Yunxi was really angry at Tian Xingjian, this prodigal.
"Sure!" Tian Xingjian thought for a moment and felt that it was not a problem. Even if the food in Yoido was expensive, it was impossible for two people to eat it for two million. It was still more than 2000 US dollars. A meal cost 2000 US dollars to eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Kim Yoonhee didn't really shout for a big meal. Although they still arrived at Yoido, and the two of them also ate Chinese food, Chinese food was not to be underestimated. In Han, Chinese food was only affordable for the rich. If ordinary people wanted to eat, they would only eat a bowl of Zhajiang noodles.
"Do you know that there's a big move in the company recently?”While eating, Kim Yoonhee thought for a long time and decided to reveal some information to this bastard who was considered her ex-boyfriend.
"Filming? I don't think I have a chance." Tian Xingjian naturally understood what Jin Yunxi wanted to say. They were all people in the industry, so they naturally wouldn't discuss other things, especially those behind the scenes.
"Do you know what kind of job I have now?”Kim Yoonhee said mysteriously.
"A wardrobe assistant? Why are you guys so busy?”Tian Xingjian wasn't very curious. This kind of borrowing of staff was very common in any company.
"Bastard, I've been promoted. Moreover, I'm working as a stylist for a big star this time. Can you listen to me properly?”Kim Yoonhee kicked him under the table and said with a frown.
"Okay, okay, tell me, tell me!”Tian Xingjian had a purpose in pursuing Kim Yoonhee. He wanted to build his own film team, and Kim Yoonhee had the ability to be a fashion assistant. He wanted to be a lover first. As for people like lighting engineers and photographers, he had not been in the entertainment industry for three years. He naturally had his own social circle.
"I'm working as a stylist for Kim Hee-Seon. This time, the company has decided to let my team join a big production. It's a movie that's being co-produced with another country.”Jin Yunxi glared at Tian Xingjian and said.
"No way, what a coincidence?" Tian Xingjian was shocked. Only a few people in the company knew about this. According to Shen Lie, there were a total of six teams like theirs competing for the opportunity to shoot together. CJ was a big entertainment company, and there were more than six teams. There were at least a dozen of them, and there were also a few large production teams, which were the treasures of CJ.
"You participated?" Kim Yoonhee was very surprised. She was considered a veteran of CJ. As she graduated from Seoul University, she joined CJ Group as soon as she graduated. She was lucky enough to participate in overseas studies. After two years of studies, she joined one of the best teams in the company. Last year, she was sent to participate in several movies as a fashion assistant. It was one of the times she met Tian Xingjian.
"Of course, our boss has a lot of connections. We have a good chance of being elected this time.”Tian Xingjian was very surprised that the company had sent other teams to join them. However, after thinking about it, it made sense. Their filming team was just a bystander, but the design of the ancient costumes would definitely be provided by the Koreans. After all, the design of the ancient Han country was more pure.
"I only know about our fashion design. I also heard that we're working with Chen Long from Hong Kong. I don't know about the rest. The company only asked us to start collecting information on ancient Han clothing.”Kim Yoonhee whispered. After all, this matter had not been made public yet. Moreover, Han was cooperating this time. If they disrupted other people's plans, it would be a big or small matter.
"Yes, I think you should study the clothing materials of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty's system, so many things were inherited from the Qin Dynasty. The filming this time is also a story of the Goryeo Kingdom offering a princess to the Qin Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty's Korean clothing also inherited the Han Dynasty's things, many things have changed.”Tian Xingjian suggested. It was not that he didn't want to draw the stills of Kim Hee-Seon and give them to Kim Yoonhee, but that stupid website could only watch the first six minutes of the movie without downloading it. The first six minutes didn't look like Kim Hee-Seon at all. The cover was there, but what was the use of a big head?
"You know quite a lot. I haven't even gotten the information yet, and you even got the script?”Kim Yoonhee asked.
"What script? The outline is good, but with my genius brain, I already know the general outline of this movie after reading it.”Tian Xingjian naturally wouldn't say that this was something he had seen on the website and recalled.
