top producer

Chapter 41

The call is connected.

"Hello." Tang He responded.

"Brother Tang! When will you come back!" Roald's voice seemed to be full of energy no matter what. "Director Yin has added a new play of yours, are you free to come and watch it tonight?"

Tang He looked at Li Jian and the others who were still loading goods, some of which he could take home with him, but the trunk space of a car like BMW is not big, so he couldn't put it in. Fortunately, he bought a lot of things this time, most of them The store agreed to subsidize the shipping cost, so they found a small truck and are now helping to carry things.

"What time is it at night?" Tang He didn't expect that Yin Song hadn't given up adding scenes to him. After all, he had signed the contract. It's not appropriate to say no more.

"Ten o'clock." Roald raised his eyes to look at the producer and screenwriter sitting opposite him, and suddenly remembered that Tang He said that the two of them would have to act in front of the producer in the future, and added a sentence after a pause. "Brother Tang, if you finish your work, come here sooner..."

Tang He felt that something was wrong with the voice on the other end of the phone, "Huh?"

The man's voice was low, and Roald pressed the phone to his ear again. At this moment, he felt as if someone was talking next to his ear. His heart beat twice suddenly, and the sound was like a mosquito.

"...I, I miss you."

Roald quickly glanced at the producer and screenwriter after speaking. The producer had no expression on his face, but screenwriter Yin cast a strange glance at himself.

Tang He was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that the person on the other end of the phone had changed.

Roald wanted to hang up the phone in a panic, and couldn't help blaming himself. What kind of drama did he add to himself? Brother Tang might just mention it casually when he said about acting.

But were you really acting just now?He hasn't seen Brother Tang since morning. He finished eating the watermelon dessert on the table, and he didn't want to throw away the box. He obviously hasn't seen him for a few hours, but he seems to really miss Brother Tang...

Just when Roald was thinking wildly, Tang He chuckled lightly, with a tone full of indulgence, and only replied with one word, "OK".

After Roald hung up the phone, he felt that his ears were getting hotter, and the eyes of the two people in front of him became even hotter.

After greeting several stall owners and shopkeepers who had negotiated good business, and making an appointment to sign the contract tomorrow, Tang He got in the car and left.

Li Jian got into the car and was still teasing Guo Xin, "I said, Lao Guo, you are too good at cleaning up. You packed this nice BMW more than a van."

At this moment, all the staff were holding things in their hands. Li Jian had a big watermelon in his arms and a pile of vegetables under his feet.

Tang He was also stuffed with two boxes of instant noodles, and the back seat, which he didn't think was too crowded when he came, was a bit awkward for several people to sit at the moment.

Guo Xin was originally thin, and now he was almost crushed with so many things in his hands, but he didn't feel it at all, his head was turned away, and he had to argue, "I don't want to look at the truck to pretend No more, how much money would be wasted renting another car, let’s pack as much as we can.”

It was also the first time for Tang He to discover that this seemingly innocuous brother was so good at saving money.

"Xinzi, there's no need to save so much next time. The money is earned, not saved." Tang He echoed.

"Brother Tang, you are good at making money. I have no skills, so I can only learn to save money." Guo Xin smiled embarrassedly, "Do you think there are too many things? If there are too many things, I can put some here. You Give me."

"No." Tang He knew that the other party was also saving money for him, so it seemed that he didn't know what was good or bad when he said something to blame at this time.

"Brother Tang, you don't know that Guo Xin is the best way to save money among our group of people. I heard that he used to rely on a box of instant noodles for a month. Can you believe it? He spent 100 yuan a month. Money." Huang Ming, who was driving, was the most relaxed at the moment, and in turn introduced his brother's glorious deeds.

"It's not good to save money like this, no wonder you're so skinny." Tang He glanced at Guo Xin, frowned, and said in disapproval, "You're so skinny but you won't be able to take part in the show. You have to eat more. No next time." If you have money to eat, come to me, I dare not talk about big money here, and I will definitely manage enough to eat."

"Isn't that right? Xinzi hasn't received a play for a long time. Brother Tang, you can think about him more if you have a play." Li Jian also said, "There are a few of our brothers, haha."

"That's for sure." Tang He smiled, "Let's go back to have a good meal tonight."

"Brother Tang, it's not as bad as they said. I still have one meal a day." Guo Xin explained sheepishly.

The few of them are actually a bit older than Tang He, but they have no skills. They have been in the store for so long, and they have no reputation. After Tang He came, he gathered a few people together and thought of any drama immediately. These people, because of this for a long time, no matter what age they are, they all call Brother Tang uniformly.

"One meal is not enough, what strength does a man in his early twenties have for one meal a day." Tang He didn't expect his brother to be in such a miserable situation now, but Guo Xin really had a hard time finding a job.

He is too tall, at 1.9 meters, this height is too tall for a group performer, taller than most of the leading actors, it would be an eyesore when thrown in the crowd, and he is also very thin, even wearing a suit feels empty, That's why it got the nickname of bamboo pole.

Tang He thought in his heart, he actually has a lot of things to do now, and there are quite a few people missing. Would it be better if he could find people from the existing people under his hands.

There are pros and cons to this matter, and he didn't think about it clearly.

One is that although these group performers follow him on the surface, there is no contract between them, nor is it an employment relationship.If you have the resources, people will naturally gather here, but if you don't, they can't follow you all the time, let alone be there whenever you call.

The second is that these people are actually not incapable of hanging out outside. Those who can come to the store are all hoping to get ahead. Who doesn't have a dream of becoming a star, so if Tang He really asks them to help with things, he must also consider others Willing or not.

The third is that he wants to do too many things now, and the money will be used up as soon as he gets it. If he really wants to ask others to help with the work, he must be paid.But he really didn't have much money in his hands. The one hundred thousand that Shen Ruoqing had just given in the morning, by the end of the night, there would be only fifteen thousand left.Even counting the remaining [-] yuan from yesterday, he only has [-] yuan in cash, and if the news stand at Yi Caier's side is discussed, he will only have [-] yuan left...

Thinking of money, Tang He had two big heads, and didn't speak again for a while.

When I arrived at the theater street, I unloaded the things that needed to be unloaded from the car, and some of them were sent directly to the shop that I had negotiated a deal with before. I had to calculate it, and I didn’t make much money. The purchase of 5000 yuan didn’t count labor and freight, so I made a lot of money. to a thousand.

Of course, he is not planning to make a coolie by one or two times. His real plan is to wait for the stall owners to come to discuss business tomorrow. [-], of course labor has to be excluded, so many things are transported every day, he, the middleman, must supervise, and if there is a shortage of goods or money, he has to negotiate with them.

But this is already the best result for him. With some manpower and running on both sides, he doesn't need to worry about the goods and sales. It is equivalent to building a bridge. Of course, this will be called a platform in the future.

It's just that 3G mobile phones have just emerged, and before the time for online shopping, there is Taobao, but people are not very enthusiastic about online shopping, and more people still believe in offline stores, and there is no concept of mobile payment.

What Tang He wanted was to set up a simple logistics network centered on the Shucheng film and television base and radiate the surrounding area before those food delivery online shopping platforms became popular, so that when he had a certain strength, he could build an online platform more simply and expand his influence force.

When the work was over, I returned the car with a stuck point and got back the deposit of 1000 yuan.

At seven o'clock in the evening, five people gathered in the empty restaurant. Most of the dishes on the table were ordered by Shen Ruoqing at Changshun Restaurant in the morning, and Tang He packed them back. Of course, he also ordered a few hot dishes and opened two cases of wine.

Tang He directly took a bottle of beer, knocked it along the edge of the table, and the bottle cap fell off, opened a few bottles of wine neatly, no one took the glass, and directly lifted the bottle.

"Come on, brothers this afternoon, I'll go first." Tang He raised the wine bottle.

"You're welcome."

"Brother Tang, why are you being polite to me?"

"That's right, we've learned a lot."

"Yeah, I've never driven a BMW before."

Several people also drank two sips of wine, and everyone's bottles collided, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"Let's eat the vegetables first. Eat the vegetables. This dish is packaged by Changshun Restaurant. Don't dislike it. No one has eaten it. I'm afraid I won't be able to reserve a place at night, so I went to buy it in the morning." Tang He briefly explained the process, and directly Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

In fact, he originally planned to treat guests at Changshun Restaurant, but after reading the price list, he was a little reluctant, and just happened to meet Shen Ruoqing who came to the door on his own initiative and ordered a table of dishes. Based on the principle of not wasting, he packed them all back.

Fortunately, Li Jian and the others didn't dislike them. They usually ate all the boxed lunches with sand and bugs. Who cares whether they are packaged or not.

A few people were indeed hungry, there was no need for Tang He to greet them, the chopsticks flew straight, and several plates were quickly emptied.

When he was almost done eating, Tang He took out the money from his bag. He left 2 yuan for Yi Caier, and he still had 3000 yuan in cash.

He counted them one by one, "This is your wages today, and I'm very tired today, so I'll give everyone a hundred wages, and I've included everything I owed you before. Settle the accounts, if there is something wrong, say it now."

When Li Jian and the others took the money, they were all happy from ear to ear.

Guo Xin was a little embarrassed, "Brother Tang, I don't have that much money, and you didn't owe me anything before."

He hadn't received any dramas before, and Chen Boshu naturally didn't cheat him of money. The reason why he followed this time is because he has a good relationship with Li Jian, the skinny monkey. After a meal, he followed.

"It's okay, you have put in a lot of effort today. If it weren't for you, I would have rented an extra car, which would cost at least 200 yuan." Tang He didn't care about these things, and he was also happy to help his brother.

"Brother Tang gave it to you, you just take it, otherwise you will have to eat instant noodles in the future." Li Jian patted Guo Xin on the back, signaling him not to have any psychological burden.

Guo Xin's face turned bitter. He has been in Shudian for almost a year, and he has received very few scenes. Most of the time, the director would shake his head when he sees him. There are really no scenes suitable for him, especially in the past two months. He didn't receive a single drama, and he was almost finished eating instant noodles. Even if he saves more, he won't be able to live on soon.

Reality does not allow him to be arrogant, and the 200 yuan is very important to him.

Thinking of the woman with big shoulders and round waist crying and saying that she hadn't eaten for several days today, he wanted to sneer, because he really hadn't eaten for several days.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. Guo Xin raised his neck and poured most of the bottle of beer into his mouth. After drinking half of it, he finally couldn't help it, and started crying while choking.

The man's voice was not loud, even a little muffled, but he couldn't help but feel bitter when he heard it.

Li Jian followed Guo Xin's back, sighed and shook his head.

The others are not much better than Guo Xin. In Shudian, they have no money to take if they don’t film, they sleep in the hallway, they sleep in the basement, they wake up in the middle of the night to grab the show, they are on call, they work from dawn to dusk, but they earn too little. Sometimes it's even hard to make ends meet.

And this is the status quo of most Shudian people. Every year, tens of thousands of people come to Shudian with their bags on their backs to pursue their dreams, but every day some people have to give up their dreams.

Not everyone can have a dream fund of 10 yuan like Roald, guarded by bodyguards, and Tang Ge who has a keen eye for recommending him and directly played a supporting role...

Most of them were just lining up outside the set, waiting to be picked.

Tang He also took a sip of wine, patted Guo Xin on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you also saw it today, I plan to send the goods from the wholesale market to the store in Santiao Street near us, and I still need a person to connect, and the salary is one One thousand and five months, I can't give more, do you want to come?"

Guo Xin raised his head halfway through crying and looked at Tang He without speaking for a long time.

Huang Ming next to him was worried for him, "What else are you thinking about, [-] yuan a month, even if you have movies every day, that's the price." He jokingly looked at Tang He, "Brother Tang, where are you going?" How many people are missing, I think Xinzi may not be able to do it alone, why don't you add me?"

"I'm looking for Xinzi because he's careful and saves money. Will you settle accounts when I'm looking for you?" Tang He deliberately yelled at Huang Ming, wanting to give Guo Xin some confidence.

"Then pretend I didn't say it." Huang Ming chuckled and didn't care, "However, I can drive. Next time you have such a cool job driving a BMW, call me."

A few people cheered up the atmosphere, but they weren't that sad.

After eating a meal for two hours, they wanted to continue drinking, but Tang He stopped them. Before leaving, they even said something to Guo Xin.

"Think about it carefully. If you are capable, come to the cheap hotel at six o'clock tomorrow morning to find me."

Several people walked away supporting each other, while Tang He cleaned up the table like a normal person.

Uncle Sun on the side hurried over, "Xiao Tang, just let me come."

"It's okay, there are sister Cai'er's dishes here, I have to wash her and send them back."

The bags I used for packing in the morning, but I used the bowls from Yi Caier’s back kitchen when I put them on the plates. I just borrowed a place when I came to Kongkong Restaurant. After picking up two boxes, it would be unethical to ask Uncle Sun to clean up the dishes.

"What's the matter, they're all neighbors, I'll just wash it up and send it to Caier." Uncle Sun not only persuaded him, but also stopped him. "Exactly, I also have something to ask you."

"Tell me." Tang He was always polite to his elders.

"It's not that our family is very rich. He heard that Aunt Wang was going to sell the newsstand two days ago, and he insisted on buying it when he came back." Uncle Sun was also quick to clean up the table. At nine o'clock in the evening, the guests had almost left, so he told Tang He chatted a few more words.

Tang He nodded, instead of standing by and watching, he also took a rag to help clean up together.I wondered in my heart that I don't know that Sister Cai'er has settled this matter with Aunt Wang, but Uncle Sun seems to be a little shaken.

"I can take out 2 yuan, but the money was originally intended to send him to a culinary school to learn his craft." Uncle Sun recognized Tang He. After all, when Tang He came to the store alone, that But it was a real famous college student, but it was a pity that he didn't succeed in the future, but Tang He also tutored Sun Dafu for free for a while, which was much better than those teachers who charged ridiculously high fees.

Uncle Sun has always remembered these kindnesses.

Tang He also understood when he heard this, "Are you afraid that he will be hot for 3 minutes, won't do a good job at the newsstand, and lose money in the end without learning the skills?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty, and the money will be gone, leaving a mess." Uncle Sun is also worried. Although the location of the newsstand is good, he only has a total of 2 yuan. But what should I do, my son has never done business before, so it will cost [-] yuan, but if he doesn't give it, he won't obediently learn the craft, maybe he will have to come back to make trouble...

"Actually, at this newsstand, Sister Cai'er is also planning to make an offer." Tang He let the news go straight, "She went to see Aunt Wang today, and maybe they've finished talking."

"That's it." Uncle Sun nodded. He didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. It's fine if someone else bought it, and the provincial son came back to make trouble, but the newsstand is also a job to make money. The son thought of it but failed to fulfill his wish. It's also a pity.

"Listen to me." Tang He walked towards the back kitchen with a stack of plates in his hands, and the two chatted from the dining table in the front hall to the sink in the back kitchen, "Sister Cai'er is too busy to take care of two shops by herself." Come on, I just need someone to help, if Dafu is willing, he can hand over the newsstand to him."

"How can this work? That kid has never done business before." Uncle Sun vetoed it straight away. If Huo Huo's own money is lost, it's fine. At worst, he will be scolded and beaten. If he loses too much for others, what will happen good.

"Don't worry, the newsstand's turnover is several thousand yuan a month. If it loses a lot, it will be deducted from Dafu's salary. Of course, if he revitalizes it, bonuses will be indispensable."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about it. He is in charge of the newsstand alone. If he can fix it, he has some experience. It's good to take over your class in the future. If he can't fix it, you can send him to learn crafts in time."

Tang He analyzed the pros and cons clearly, and Uncle Sun nodded after hearing this, but in the end he refused to help Tang He wash the dishes, saying that he would finish it at night and give it to Yi Caier after washing, which happened to be Talk to her about the newsstand.

Tang He didn't insist anymore, he looked at the time, it was almost a quarter past nine, he went back to take a shower, changed his clothes and rushed to the set early, there were still people waiting for him.
