Chapter 737 I Start to Miss the Old Man (22)

Zhang Tan returned to the academy after sending Sister Tan and her sisters away. Old Li was also ready to rest, so he called Zhang Tan into the house and shared the last pot of tea.

"Is the man outside before Xiao Zheng Zheng's father?" Zhang Tan held the hot tea, and a trace of warmth passed from the cup to the palm of his hand.

When he just came back, he met a man outside the academy. Later, he saw Xiao Zheng Zheng's mother and the other party talking outside the academy, and guessed that they might be a couple.

Old Li said: "Yes, they are having a quarrel."

"What's wrong?"

"It is said that it is because of smuggling foreign drugs back to the country... I don't know more."

These days, Xiao Zheng Zheng's father Zheng Youmin comes to wait for Xiao Zheng Zheng almost every night. He comes early to chat with Old Li, and learns some of his situation from the chat.

According to Zheng Youmin himself, he used to run a pharmacy and lived a good life. He was a little rich. Later, he met some patients who couldn't buy medicine or the medicine in the big pharmacy was too expensive. He had connections and brought some special medicines from neighboring countries back to China. He was just conscientious to help one or two people. Later, somehow, the news spread in a small circle. Patients who came to him to buy this life-saving medicine came one after another, which made him unable to stop. If he stopped, it would cost these people's lives. He couldn't bear it, so he kept doing it and has not been able to stop until now.

In Zheng Youmin's words, he is dancing on the edge of a knife now, and he may end up in the call center one day.

Zhang Tan was amazed when he heard it. If what Zheng Youmin said was true and not bragging, then this person is really a man and worthy of admiration.

Old Li finished the tea in his hand, turned the cup upside down on the tea tray, and said, "Don't admire others. I admire you. You are walking here with your shirt on. Aren't you cold?"

Slurp~~

Zhang Tan sniffed the cold snot, drank the tea in his hand, got up and left. As soon as he opened the door, he shivered and ran into the classroom screaming, took the bag, suit jacket and coat that were thrown on the ground, and rushed into Building 2 screaming again. He took a hot bath and returned to the bedroom to find two missed calls, one from Malanhua and the other from Tan Jiner.

Zhang Tan called Malanhua back.

"It's Xiaobai who wants to talk to you." Malanhua said on the other end of the phone and gave the phone to Xiaobai.

"Wait? Wait, is that Boss Zhang? Have you gone home? Have you slept?... What are you doing?..."

The child had nothing else to do but ask him these questions.

Well, the little girl started to miss the old man.

Xiaobai asked a few questions, and finally said "oh", and hung up the phone neatly, leaving Zhang Tan in a daze. Didn't you say good night?

Then he called Tan Jiner back. Tan Jiner's voice seemed to be weak, and she said there was nothing else, just telling him that Xier was very happy in the evening, and thanked him again for this. When she was about to hang up, she reminded Zhang Tan to take a hot bath and not catch a cold.

——

The National Drama Festival was scheduled to be held on the last day of the New Year's Day. Zhang Tan was invited as a popular candidate for this session. Liu Jinlu, Sheng Xiaoxiao, Yi Siyang, Zhang Yanyan and others also participated with him.

As soon as Zhang Tan arrived in the organizing committee's car, someone came up to greet him. It was Ku Cheng, the chairman of the Kuxun video website. He was a middle-aged man, not tall, but strong, and spoke with full energy, but his hair was already gray.

He and Zhang Tan met in "The Longest Day in Chang'an". Kuxun Video spent a lot of money to buy the online broadcast rights of this drama and won a great victory.

This time he was also invited to participate in the grand ceremony. Company bosses like them will be invited. A grand ceremony cannot be just for actors and directors.

The atmosphere on the scene did not allow the two to chat for a long time. They agreed to have dinner together next time, and then they dispersed. Zhang Tan just recovered his attention when he saw a graceful woman waving at him with a smile and slowly walked forward.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Congratulations, you can finally enjoy a feast for your ears today."

"I should be the one to say thank you."

The person who came was singer Wang Zhuo. She sang the theme song "Missing You for 365 Days" of the animated film "Coco", which was a great success and became famous. She jumped from a second-tier singer to a first-tier new star. This time, the National Drama Festival specially invited her as a singing guest, responsible for singing for the public during the award ceremony.

Wang Zhuo's agent was standing not far away, frequently looking over here. Thinking back to the beginning, she had to admire Wang Zhuo's vision. If Wang Zhuo hadn't insisted on staying and singing "Thinking of You 365" over and over again until Zhang Tan was satisfied, maybe this song would not be Wang Zhuo's, and naturally there would be no subsequent success and dreams come true.

Sometimes, a person's fate is a seemingly insignificant choice. If you choose the right one, your life will be smooth.

Because Wang Zhuo's persistence proved to be right that time, the agent later respected her opinion very much, and the two discussed everything.

This made the relationship between the two closer, and there was no conflict because of Wang Zhuo's rising fame. There are too many negative examples like this in the entertainment industry.

This time at the National Drama Festival, the agent's job has always been to stare at Zhang Tan. When he saw that he and Ku Cheng were about to finish talking, he immediately notified Wang Zhuo, which allowed Wang Zhuo to get there first, and those who wanted to find Zhang Tan could only continue to wait.

"Zhang Tan~~Here!"

Zhang Tan and Wang Zhuo separated, and Wang Zhen called him over.

"Did you see that middle-aged man? His name is Li Qiuyuan, your biggest competitor this time. And that woman in her 30s, who has a good temperament, her name is Li Qian, and she is also your competitor this time." Wang Zhen introduced them to Zhang Tan one by one.

Li Qiuyuan, whom Zhang Tan knows, is a well-known screenwriter. Last year, he wrote "Return to Darkness". The ratings of this drama exceeded 2%, making it a strong competitor of "The Longest Day in Chang'an". He will compete with Zhang Tan for the honor of Best Screenwriter.

As for the other Li Qian, she is the screenwriter of "The Great Recorder", and the ratings also exceeded 2, and she was also nominated for Best Screenwriter.

These two have been famous for a long time and have many representative works, unlike Zhang Tan who rose in the past two years.

Zhang Tan thinks that "The Longest Day in Chang'an" may not be able to compare with these two dramas.

In terms of ratings, "The Longest Day in Chang'an" has surpassed these two dramas, but it is a little worse in terms of praise.

"The Secret Corner" and "The Silent Truth" have higher praise than them, but they are not as good in ratings.

Zhang Yanyan came and talked to Zhang Tan.

He was nominated for Best Actor this time, which can be called a modern version of a salted fish turning over.

Originally, he was just a stage actor in a small theater, making a living in a big city like Beijing. Because of Zhang Tan's discovery, he was directly cast as the male lead in "The Silent Truth". With his obsession with acting, he conquered thousands of audiences with his acting skills and attracted a large number of fans. His momentum rose all of a sudden.

After "The Silent Truth", he received constant invitations, including TV series and movies. Now he is filming a new drama in Chengdu, which will not be completed until the first half of next year.

Zhang Yanyan is an acting school, good-looking, and low-key and modest. Such a person will not worry about not having a play to shoot. He has a wide range of acting. As long as there is no fatal mistake in the future, he will definitely have a place in the film and television industry.

Don't forget the well digger when you drink water. Zhang Yanyan now has style when he goes out, but when he sees Zhang Tan, he still comes to say hello as soon as possible. He said thank you many times, but he still said it every time.

Music sounded on the award stage, stage actors appeared, and the warm-up program began, which also told everyone that the party is about to begin, please take your seat quickly.
