Chapter 768 Annual Meeting

Zhou Baoshan plunged into the wind and snow.

Zhong Yuanfu followed, and couldn't help cursing: "It's so fucking cold!"

Zhou Baoshan smiled, turned around and asked him, "Shall we take a taxi?"

Zhong Yuanfu also yelled at him: "Take a taxi, take a taxi, you may not even be able to get a taxi!" Then he couldn't help but sigh, "I won't be late, right? It will be miserable if I am late! It is said that today is a big event."

Zhou Baoshan frowned when he heard the words, "Let's run, first run to the bus station, and then wait to see if there is any bus." After speaking, he ran away.

Zhong Yuanfu had no choice but to follow.

Minghu Culture has always had a tradition of giving extra classes to its artists. Whether you are a singer or an actor, they are optimistic about you, signed in, or even give you a play, and even if your play is popular, the company will still do it according to According to your schedule, arrange a proper training course for you.

After the filming of "Huang Feihong" was finished, the company signed up Zhou Baoshan and his group of grassroots actors for a three-month long class. There are no other scenes to film right now, so instead of traveling around with the crew and spending money as an extra performer, the two of them discussed it, why don't we just continue to study, who told us that we don't lack crew experience, but we lack professional knowledge?

Then report to the manager in charge, and the manager in charge will help to apply for funds and arrangements. It is said that the company has a policy that will subsidize part of the tuition and transportation expenses for this kind of non-company-arranged study, but the news somehow came together. Mr. Qi heard it, and Mr. Qi was very happy, and directly approved the full payment. She even arranged for the teacher to be contacted by the film and television department. She even brought it to the general meeting and said: As long as you are willing to put your mind to it Go to study, go to make up lessons, just report with confidence, reasonable, full sponsorship!

Just like this, among the company's small artists, the two brothers and sisters became celebrities all of a sudden!

But, who cares about them, the teacher the company found is said to be an old professor from Shuncheon Film Academy. He is reliable and has a high level. I got stuck again—but, the teacher is very capable and has a good temper. He is not allowed to skip class, not even once, and he can't be late for a minute!

Unfortunately, today is Minghu Culture Company's annual artist meeting.

It is said that it starts at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already four o'clock when they finish class here!

This way out of the community where the teacher lives, and ran to the bus stop that he usually does on weekdays, Zhou Baoshan is in better health, but Zhong Yuanfu is already panting from exhaustion, and white steam is steaming up his forehead, as if he is about to fly .

What's more, it's snowing heavily today. Even though the snow on the road is basically falling and melting, all the vehicles are still driving very slowly-even though it's not a major traffic road, the road is still blocked and difficult to move.

At a glance, there are all red lights over there, and there is no bus here.

After the two discussed it, let's keep running, and one kilometer or less to the south is the subway station!

So, run!

Fortunately, although the subway is crowded, at least there will be no traffic jams.

The two squeezed hard, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, but at this time, Zhong Yuanfu was already out of breath—after two or three stops on the subway, his panting was finally less severe, but he still had a headache. sweat.

While wiping his sweat with his handkerchief, he wanted to say something, when he turned his head, he saw Zhong Yuanfu turning his head to that side, not knowing what he was staring at.

He raised his hand and pulled Zhou Baoshan, and he saw it clearly.

It is a book called "Painted Skin".

The subway was very crowded, but the buddy standing by Zhou Baoshan's side didn't care how anxious he was, he was holding the book in his hand steadily, and was willing to leave the page almost for a moment.

Many of the contracted artists here at Minghu Culture are highly educated. Zhou Baoshan and the others joined the company, feeling a bit like bumpkins, but everyone is an artist, and they have a lot of contact with each other. Being an actor, especially if you want to be a good actor, is a job that tests a person's comprehensive strength.

Therefore, learn more and read more books.

Zhou Baoshan worked hard to make progress. Recently, under the guidance of his teacher, he was devoting himself to some big tomes, including professional works on performance and art, as well as some famous masterpieces at home and abroad. Without so much mental effort, it seems that he prefers to read some novels on the market.

Of course, his education is limited, and the books he reads are all shallow.

But I can't help but he really likes novels.

So, when the subway passed another station, he saw that old man, no matter how many people crowded around, still holding the book, almost fascinated, he couldn't help being curious, walked around Zhou Baoshan, and took a picture Pat the person, and when the person raised his head, he asked, "Hey buddy, what book are you reading?"

The man took a look at Zhong Yuanfu, originally he hated being interrupted when he was enjoying reading, but he saw Zhong Yuanfu's eagerness for knowledge, and he was willing to share his reading experience. Brightening the book cover, he said, "Painted Skin! It was written by Jin Yong! Don't you know?"

Zhong Yuanfu felt that the name was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember whether he had read his book or not, so he shook his head honestly and asked, "Is this author famous? The book is very good-looking?"

The man suddenly became excited, "It looks good! Of course it looks good!"

While speaking, he patted the book in his hand, wanted to say something, but changed his words temporarily: "However, if you haven't read his book, I suggest you read it from the beginning, starting with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" That’s right! It’s a martial arts novel, it’s so good! Then there’s "Tian Long Ba Bu", which is also very good. It came out last year, and "Swordsman" came out this summer. It's killing me!"

Having said that, he shook the book in his hand and said: "Those three books are all martial arts novels, but this one is not. This is a new book that just came out last month. It contains some short stories. It’s all stories about ghosts, foxes and ghosts, and it’s super good-looking! But I still suggest you start with his martial arts!”

This guy is probably an old bookworm and an otaku. Usually, he seldom has the opportunity to chat about novels face to face with people. When he finally meets someone who is willing to listen to him, it seems particularly exciting.

In fact, this is not his fault. In recent years, in the domestic book market, in the hearts of domestic novel fans, especially fans of martial arts novels, the name "Jin Yong" is indeed so popular that there is no rival!

Not long ago, a critic wrote an article praising Jin Yong’s latest collection of short and novel ghost novels "Painted Skin", praising the book as "full of paper haze", and saying that "in 2001, in the domestic novel circle, there were two The first is the publication of "Swordsman" and the second is the publication of "Painted Skin!"

Not to mention that the first volume of "Swordsman" has sold over one million copies in less than a month since it was released. Even a collection of short stories like "Painted Skin" should not sell very well in normal terms, but as far as Because it was written by Kim Yong, it also sold more than one million copies in less than a month after its release!

From this we can see the influence of the name "Jin Yong" in China at that time.

Hearing this at this time, Zhong Yuanfu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his forehead, "I remembered, there is a bookstore in the neighborhood where we live, and many books in it are written by this Jin Yong... Let me tell you, then Familiar!"

The man said at the time: "Of course, Jin Yong, the most popular novelist in recent years! His martial arts novels, one by one, are super beautiful!"

Zhong Yuanfu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, nodded repeatedly, "I'll watch it when I get back!"

Just at this time, they arrived at the station.

Zhong Yuanfu squeezed out with all his strength, while turning his head to thank others, and when he got out of the subway and took the elevator, he said to Zhou Baoshan: "I will also read this Jin Yong's book later."

Zhou Baoshan smiled, but did not respond.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Brother, why don't we pool money to buy a car? Let's not buy too expensive ones, just buy ones that cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan! In fact, we don't lack those cars. A little money, right?"

The topic changed so suddenly, Zhong Yuanfu was just stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's fine! Then after the class here is over, let's take the driver's license test and buy a car!"

…………

After leaving the subway station, the two of them ran desperately all the way, and finally arrived downstairs at the company at 4:50.

The annual meeting is held on the sixth floor of Minghu Building.

At this time, the professionals who had been invited here arranged it like a buffet reception.

Zhou Baoshan and Zhong Yuanfu took the elevator up. When the manager saw them, he hurriedly called them over. While helping to take off their down jackets, he whispered, "I won't be able to take them with me when I go in later." If you turn around, it will be too conspicuous, but you should also have a little color, this year's annual meeting, all the bosses of the company will be here, so go over to toast and talk, understand?"

Both of them nodded ignorantly.

When it was notified earlier, the name of the notification was "Artist's Internal Cocktail Party", but everyone is more used to calling it the annual meeting. The serious annual meeting will take more than ten days. It will be attended by all employees of the company, but not them Artist's show.

Entering the venue, at first glance, the two of them looked a little silly.

The venue is very large, the way of the free reception, everyone communicates freely, but the problem is, at first glance, almost all of them are stars!

Although I already knew that Minghu Culture, where I belong, is one of the best companies in the industry, the music industry is a dominant existence, and the film and television industry has also risen rapidly in the past two years. The resources of artists are simply the top in the country. Even those individuals The names, the brothers and sisters usually know them, but they know it. Seeing so many brilliant names and those star-studded faces appearing here at the same time, it still makes them both feel Very shocking.
