Chapter 723: Unseen in the World (22)
Zhang Mingxue laughed and said, "Zhang Tan and I have no grudges in the past or today, why should I stir up trouble?"
"A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. Don't act like a villain all the time. I heard that you are idle in the company and not doing your job properly?"
Zhang Mingxue was furious and shouted that she was wronged. She had never seen anyone say that about her daughter. Is she her biological daughter? Not adopted? She immediately asked who said that she was not doing her job properly in the company. She worked hard and was almost dead.
"Does it mean that we have to work overtime like our dad every day until after 10 pm to be considered dedicated?"
"What do you mean by our dad? That's your dad, my husband."
"It's the same. You just need to know what it means. Mom, tell me, which villain complained to you?"
"Don't talk about this. You saw Zhang Tan on the set and didn't invite him to dinner at home!"
"I did."
"You called him but he didn't come?"
"He, he has a child."
"Huh?"
"Yes, Zhang Tan has adopted a goddaughter. Mom, can you imagine this? He has adopted a goddaughter, a naughty little girl who scolded me in dialect, thinking that I couldn't understand. But I'm not someone who can be easily messed with."
"Zhang Tan has adopted a goddaughter? No way?"
Zhang Mingxue fanned the flames, talking nonsense, and insisted that Zhang Tan had adopted a little girl named Xiaobai as his goddaughter.
Qin Huifang asked continuously, and Zhang Mingxue couldn't make up any more stories, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Will my sister and her family come on New Year's Day?"
"Everyone is invited."
"I haven't seen Xiaoyu for a long time, so I'll invite him this time."
Xiaoyu is the son of Zhang Mingxue's sister Zhang Qingqing. He is 6 years old this year, the same age as Xiaobai, but half a year older than Xiaobai.
"He is afraid of you. He wants to come but dares not. He asked me if you were at home on New Year's Day. I told him that you were not at home, so he agreed to come. Then you can go out after breakfast and come back for lunch, or you can just eat outside. Don't you always want to go out and play with your friends? You can play whatever you want on New Year's Day. I won't stop you. Just don't go home. Is that okay, Xiaoxue?"
"... I think I can die." Zhang Mingxue lamented, "Am I still your daughter? How dare you treat me like this!!! How can you say that? Am I your biological daughter? Why are you and my sister ugly, but I am so beautiful, as beautiful as a flower? Can you believe this?"
Qin Huifang turned to the TV. Today, the second episode of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" was about to start. Finally, she said, "Then it's settled. You can go out after breakfast on New Year's Day and come back in the evening, unless you bring a boyfriend home."
New Year's Day is coming, and the year is coming to an end. All walks of life are busy reviewing their annual performance.
The Chinese film and television industry has also become lively, with major awards being announced one after another, taking stock of the ups and downs of this year.
As one of the most influential film and television awards in China, the National Drama Festival only announced the shortlists for the major lists at the end.
Last year, Zhang Tan was shortlisted for the Outstanding Screenwriter of the Year. This year, his name is not on the list. He was shortlisted for the Best Screenwriter of the Year. Compared with the former, this award is more important.
Last year, there were three people who won the Outstanding Screenwriter of the Year with Zhang Tan, and the Best Screenwriter of the Year has only selected the best one.
Zhang Tan has many works shortlisted for the Best TV Series Award, including "The Secret Corner", "The Silent Truth", "Lurking", and the currently popular "The Longest Day in Chang'an".
Zhang Tan's works are also shortlisted for the most popular animation. "Coco", which won the animation box office champion this year, was shortlisted as the biggest favorite as expected.
In addition, the leading actors and directors, music, costumes, props, etc. of these works have been shortlisted for related awards.
Opening this list, those who are interested can see that Zhang Tan's name appears frequently, and can't help but sigh that this year is really a bumper year for Zhang Tan, and his luck is bursting.
In the list of the top 100 influential people in various industries selected and released by multiple online portals every year, Zhang Tan quietly ranked 88th in the film and television list.
He is the only screenwriter on the list.
In this list, 80% of the people are actors, and the rest are either directors, producers, or investors, film and television company bosses, etc.
Every year, when this list comes out, it will become a hot topic on the Internet, mainly among fans of celebrities, who will focus on the ranking of their idols and argue with others.
This time is also the same. Fans on the Internet are hotly discussing, but not many people pay attention to the name Zhang Tan. Occasionally, those who see it also think it is a senior executive or investor of a company.
However, in the industry, the discussion around Zhang Tan is very hot, and the university group where Zhang Tan is also ignited. As soon as the list is announced, everyone has emerged from the diving state and talked about it.
They are all majoring in film and television, and most of them are engaged in film and television-related jobs after graduation, so they are considered insiders.
"Zhang Tan is on the list, ranking 88th among the top 100 most influential people in the film and television industry. What do you want to say?"
"What can I say? Just be awesome!"
"Zhang Tan has so many nominations, this year is a bumper year."
"Looking at it this way, I found that Zhang Tan has produced several popular works this year, which is really amazing."
"I am more optimistic that "The Hidden" will win the award."
"I support "The Longest Day in Chang'an", this drama is so good."
"The Secret Corner and "The Silent Truth" are better than "The Longest Day in Chang'an", and have more in-depth connotations."
……
Zhang Tan was choosing New Year's Day gifts in a store on West Chang'an Street. He kept hearing reminders from his phone. He took it out and saw that many people in the group x-on:him.
He quickly "climbed the stairs" and browsed through it. He knew the general situation and wrote "God rewards hard work" as a summary of his awesomeness.
After sending the message, he put away his phone and continued to shop. He had to choose gifts for his uncle and aunt on New Year's Day, and Zhang Mingxue couldn't be left out. If she wasn't there, he would be hacked in the future. At the same time, he got the news that Zhang Qingqing's family would also come, so he had to prepare gifts for Zhang Qingqing and her husband, and most importantly, his little nephew Wang Xiaoyu.
Zhang Tan used this as an excuse to invite Xiaobai to come and ask her to be a consultant on what kind of gifts a little boy of her age would like.
Xiaobai was more like a mascot and couldn't be a consultant. She had many other ideas, but she was really not suitable for choosing gifts. From childhood till now, she has been lucky to receive gifts, and she has almost never had the right to choose gifts, so she has no idea how to choose gifts, and most of the things in the mall are unfamiliar to her.
She is just a child who has never seen the world.
So Xiaobai, who originally followed with great enthusiasm, soon became dejected and whispered to Zhang Tan: "I can't help you, Boss Zhang, I don't even know it, hehehe."
Zhang Tan has heard that daughters should be raised in wealth and should be brought to see more of the world, so that they will not be easily deceived by men when they grow up.
He touched her little head: "It's okay, I don't know it either. If we don't know it, we can ask the shopping guide and let her introduce it to us."
"Isn't that good?"
"What's wrong with that? The guide is happy to introduce it to us. This is their job. If you don't believe me, go and ask with me."
