Chapter 650 Wu Tianmin Returns to China

A train from Huacheng to Xijing slowly stopped at the platform. The door opened and a large number of passengers swarmed out. A middle-aged couple carrying suitcases followed the crowd out of the station and came to the square.

The man looked at the tall city wall not far in front of the square and couldn't help but sigh:

"Finally back."

He is Wu Tianmin. After five years of wandering in the United States, he finally embarked on the road to return home.

The road to return home is not easy. First, he took a plane to Hong Kong and stayed for a while before completing the entry procedures. Then he entered Shenzhen and went to Huacheng. From Huacheng, he took a train to his hometown after a long absence.

Five years have passed. The tall city wall in front of him, and even this city, seem to have not changed much, but Wu Tianmin knows that his state of mind is no longer the same as before.

Five years ago, he started from here. He was so high-spirited at that time. He was known as a "chicken farmer" and the director of the "No. 1 Film Studio in the Mainland", and he was awarded multiple honors.

And now, he came back quietly with his lover. Who still recognizes him?

Wu Tianmin was carrying a suitcase and preparing to take a bus with his wife. At this time, they saw a young couple walking towards them with a smile on their faces.

Minghua!

"Brother Wu, you have worked hard on the journey." Fang Minghua greeted.

"You, how did you know I would come today?" Wu Tianmin was very surprised.

"Li Li from San Francisco called me and told me that you were about to return to China, so I asked Zhang Yimou. He was going to pick you up, but because the filming of "The King of Western Chu" was inseparable from the crew, he called me to pick you up."

Just at the end of last year, Zhang Yimou was invited to supervise the Hong Kong movie "The King of Western Chu", which is a drama co-produced by the mainland and Hong Kong.

Directed by Xian Qiran and Wei Hantao, starring Lu Liangwei, Zhang Fengyi, Gong Li, and Guan Zhilin.

"Thank you, thank you." Wu Tianmin was very moved.

The news of his return to China was only told to his proud disciple Zhang Yimou, and no one else.

"Brother Wu, sister-in-law, come this way, we will send you back first." Song Tangtang next to him said.

So the four of them walked to the parking lot and came to a black Audi.

This Audi 100 was purchased by the company years ago. After making money from real estate speculation in Hainan, Zhao Hongjun bought an Audi for Shengshi Group and its two subordinate companies for official business.

After the couple got in the car, Song Tangtang drove the car into the city.

Wu Tianmin sat in the back seat and looked outside through the car window.

Jiefang Road, Dachai City, East Street, Bell and Drum Tower He looked at these familiar streets.

There are more high-rise buildings outside the city, and the city has not changed much. The smell of mutton wafting from the street makes him feel more at home.

It's good to be home.

No matter how delicious the hamburger is, it can't compare to Roujiamo.

But what can I do after I come back?

Wu Tianmin's eyes slowly became confused.

Wu Tianmin lives in the family building of Xiying Factory on Xiying Road. Fang Minghua and his wife drove to help carry the luggage upstairs.

The room has been empty for a long time and is covered with dust.

"Minghua, Tangtang, go and do your work. Thank you." Wu Tianmin said.

"Okay, Brother Wu, we are going to welcome you tomorrow night, the location is at Xijing Restaurant."

"No, no, I came back in disgrace, it's not a glorious thing." Wu Tianmin hurriedly said with a little self-mockery in his tone.

"Look at what you said. Coming back is a good thing! There are no other outsiders at the party, only Zhang Yimou and others, these are all your former disciples, how can you not see them?"

"Okay then." Wu Tianmin agreed.

The next afternoon, Wu Tianmin changed into clean clothes and rode his Fei Ge bicycle.

This bicycle has been thrown in his own woodshed for several years and has not been ridden. It is covered with dust.

At noon today, Wu Tianmin cleaned it and pushed it to the bicycle repair stall outside. The stall owner cleaned it up, added some lubricating oil to the bearings, and inflated both tires. Now it is quite flexible to ride.

Wu Tianmin rushed to Xijing Restaurant, asked the bartender, and then went up to the second floor and opened the box, only to see that it was already full of people.

Fang Minghua and his wife, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, He Ping, Zhou Xiaowen, Teng Wenji, and Feng Xiaoning all stood up when they saw Wu Tianmin coming in.

"Director Wu, Brother Wu"

Everyone greeted him with a smile, and made way for Wu Tianmin to sit at the top.

Wu Tianmin looked at these familiar faces and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Except for Fang Minghua and his wife, the rest of these people were his subordinates when he was the director of Xiying Studio, and some of them were trained by him.

Now they have become the backbone of Xiying Studio and are all powerful in the domestic film industry.

Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with all this.

The dishes were served soon, and the wine was Xifeng, which Xijing people like to drink. Everyone ate and talked.

Wu Tianmin seemed reluctant to talk about his experiences in the United States, but preferred to talk about the current development of the domestic film industry. He was happy about the achievements of his former disciples.

"Director, what are your plans after you come back?" Zhang Yimou poured a glass of wine for Wu Tianmin and asked.

"What plans? What plans can I have?" Wu Tianmin's tone was full of self-mockery. "I am already very satisfied to be able to return to China. What other plans can I have?"

In fact, everyone knew it in their hearts.

Although Wu Tianmin's personnel relationship is still in the Xi'an Film Studio, he can't stay in the Xi'an Film Studio with his current embarrassing identity.

He picked up the wine Zhang Yimou offered and drank it all, and continued: "When everything is arranged, I will go to Yanjing to see if there is a place for me to stay."

"Well, Yanjing is good. Yanjing has more opportunities than our Xijing."

"Yes. The current Xiying Studio, hey" everyone sighed again.

At this time, Song Tangtang said: "Director Wu, you are going to Yanjing? Why don't you come to Shengshi Film and Television? I sincerely invite you to come and serve as the company's deputy general manager?"

The deputy general manager of Shengshi Film and Television!

Shengshi Film and Television is now in a booming momentum. In recent years, it has continuously shot several excellent movies and TV series. It is not only the largest private film and television company in China, but also has overshadowed the old Xiying Studio.

Of course, there is another layer of temptation.

It is said that Shengshi Film and Television pays employees very high salaries, and leaders like deputy general managers implement an annual salary system!

If Wu Tianmin goes there, he will definitely not treat him badly.

But Wu Tianmin shook his head after hearing this.

"Mr. Song, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to be an official now. If I can have the opportunity to make a movie, that would be my greatest hope."

"Director Wu, there is no conflict between being a vice president and being a director." Song Tangtang continued, "You can still make movies as the company's vice president, just like you made "Old Well" when you were the director of Xiying Studio, and the film and television company can provide you with sufficient funds."

"If, Brother Wu, you don't mind, I can help you write the script." Fang Minghua, who was sitting next to him, smiled and added.

Wu Tianmin was moved by this.

Scripts and funds. These are what directors dream of.

Why go to Yanjing by yourself?

Isn't it just to find an opportunity to make a movie?
