Chapter 761 Where Is the Translator (22)
When Zhang Tan entered the room, he saw Xiaobai sitting on the sofa, shaking his feet. Qin Huifang squatted in front of her, peeling lychees for her to eat and talking to her.
The service is so attentive.
Zhang Tan sat aside and asked, "Isn't uncle at home?"
Qin Huifang had just peeled a lychee, brought it to Xiaobai's mouth, and said pitifully: "Xiaobai has lost weight~"
Then he replied to Zhang Tan, "He is busy with work and has no concept of rest days."
He took another lychee and prepared to peel it for Xiaobai to eat.
Zhang Tan said, "Mom, there's no need for this. If Xiaobai wants to eat, he can eat it himself. He's not a three-year-old child."
Qin Huifang seemed not to hear and continued to peel lychees while talking to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai looked up at Zhang Tan and bared his teeth in a smile.
This little guy has lost some weight. He's obviously gained weight. He was weighed just a few days ago and he's heavier. Now her life is much better than before. She used to be locked up in a rented house and only ate steamed buns and noodles made in the morning. She was thin and black, with a pointed chin and sunken eye sockets, like Wild child.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tan felt distressed for a while, picked up a lychee and peeled it, and said, "I'll do it. Madam, you go ahead."
"I'm chatting with Xiaobai." Qin Huifang said and refused to leave.
Zhang Tan: "It's time to make lunch."
Qin Huifang: "Let Xiaoxue do it."
"The food Xiaoxue makes is edible, but it doesn't taste very good. Can Xiaobai get used to it?"
Qin Huifang thought for a while, and then got up to cook.
As soon as she left, Zhang Mingxue came in outside the door. Zhang Mingxue stood at the door, looking at Zhang Tan coldly, without saying a word, as if she was about to draw a sword.
"What's this expression?" Zhang Tan felt a little guilty. Couldn't she have heard what he just said?
Zhang Mingxue said bitterly: "The food I cook is just edible? Is it not delicious? It's not delicious. You ate three bowls that day!!! If you can't finish three bowls, are you going to fight a tiger? Ah?"
Zhang Tan was speechless and looked at Xiaobai. Xiaobai quickly clarified the relationship: "It depends on where I live. It's not me who is arrogant. I don't want to be arrogant about anything."
Zhang Tan was speechless and said to Zhang Mingxue: "You may have made a mistake. I didn't mean it. Don't be like this. Sit down quickly. I'll give you some lychees."
He brought all the basket of lychees on the coffee table to Zhang Mingxue. Xiaobai's little hand was about to grab one, but missed it.
Zhang Tan said: "Give it to my aunt, but we won't eat it."
Xiaobai understood the general situation and said, "Then the kid won't eat."
Zhang Mingxue said angrily: "I bought this in the first place."
Zhang Tan: "Ah, I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can help you."
Escaped.
Seeing this, Xiaobai paused for a moment, quickly jumped off the sofa, clapped his little hands and said, "Xiaoyu didn't come yet? I'll go see him."
He said he was going to see Wang Xiaoyu, but instead he went to the kitchen.
Lunch was made jointly by Zhang Tan and Qin Huifang. Although Zhang Mingxue did not have to cook, she was asked to entertain Xiaobai. She and Xiaobai sat in the living room and looked at each other in silence. Xiaobai was watching cartoons and eating lychees, while Zhang Mingxue was playing on her mobile phone. I stayed up until lunch time.
Qin Huifang complained whether Zhang Hui would come back for dinner.
She asked Zhang Tan to come over today. Actually, she mainly wanted to see Xiaobai. Didn't she come last time? She said she was going to see off her aunt. Secondly, she did have something to tell Zhang Tan.
This matter is a bit complicated to talk about. When it comes to cultural promotion, telling the Chinese story well not only must be told well in the mainland, but also in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The first one to bear the brunt is Hong Kong.
The current situation in Hong Kong is to strengthen the education of the country and the country in all aspects such as political culture and education. To this end, the government takes the lead in strengthening exchanges in the area of cultural propaganda, including focusing on strengthening cooperation with TV stations in Hong Kong in terms of film and television. It is to establish channels to help these TV stations and film and television companies purchase some film and television copyrights in the mainland.
Pujiang is a cutting-edge cultural town with a developed film and television industry. Last year, many blockbusters emerged, so this work fell to the Propaganda Department of the Pujiang Municipal Party Committee, with Qin Huifang in charge.
Zhang Tan's "Twelve Hours in Chang'an" was selected without any surprise, and it was requested by the TV station in Xiangjiang.
"In a few days, someone from the TV station will come to talk to you about copyright." Qin Huifang said.
Xiaobai seemed to understand, and was busy eating. She could never finish the food in her small bowl, which was piled high, and Qin Huifang kept picking up vegetables for her.
"Too much nao, too much nao, too much nao given, I will support nao to death."
Xiaobai was helpless and full of frustration. She had eaten for so long and worked so hard, but she found that there seemed to be a lot of food in the small bowl. The food in the small bowl seemed to be longer. She felt lonely after eating.
Qin Huifang said: "Okay, I won't pinch you anymore."
Zhang Tan asked: "So this means giving away the copyright for free?"
Qin Huifang: "That's not what you mean. We are just matchmaking and matchmaking for you. You can negotiate the specific details yourself and follow the market rules."
Zhang Tan understood. This meant that on the premise of success, we should try our best to follow the market rules, but in fact we would still suffer a loss, because the other party knew that they had to negotiate this, so they would try their best to lower the price.
"Okay, I understand. I also have something to ask you."
Zhang Tan told the story about "I'm Not the God of Medicine". While Qin Huifang sighed, she thought for a while before replying: "Your case has no universal applicability. From a movie perspective, I suggest you not write it like this in the script. Otherwise, you may be attacked by others for taking advantage of the law or even promoting smuggling..."
Qin Huifang's words made Zhang Tan suddenly enlightened. After returning, he changed the ending of the script of "Dying to Survive" and sent it to Zheng Youmin. Next, he should look for investment and film and television companies for this drama.
But before that, someone from Xiangjiang TV came to find him, and it was exactly what Qin Huifang said.
The contact person is a staff member of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department. He will participate in the whole process and be responsible for communication and liaison work.
"The other party will arrive in Pujiang tomorrow morning and wants to meet you that afternoon. Mr. Zhang, do you think the time is okay?" The staff member asked on the phone.
Zhang Tan had no objection. In fact, the copyright of the TV series "The Longest Day in Chang'an" is mainly in the hands of Pujiang TV. Zhang Tan has a part, but only a minority. Most of it belongs to the studio, so if Xiangjiang TV wants to introduce this drama, it should talk to Pujiang Film Studio. However, the other party not only wants to introduce this TV series, but also wants to purchase the adaptation rights of the novel in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. This copyright is in Zhang Tan's hands, so he must talk to Zhang Tan. Pujiang Film Studio gave Zhang Tan full authority to take charge of this matter.
"Do you have any requirements for the location?" the staff asked again.
Zhang Tan thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the Four Seasons Hotel on West Chang'an Street. They can stay there, which is convenient for us."
The staff said, "Okay, then I will arrange it to the Four Seasons Hotel."
Zhang Tan asked in confusion, "You arrange it? You also provide them with food and lodging?"
Staff: "Haha, the department attaches great importance to it."
Zhang Tan said nothing more, and the staff finally reminded him to bring an English translator.
"And foreigners?"
"There are no foreigners, but I heard that the person in charge who came here this time likes to speak English, so it may be necessary to use a translator. It's better to bring one."
Zhang Tan didn't take it to heart. The next day, he came to the Four Seasons Hotel at the agreed time, which was the hotel where Tan Jin'er was, and Xin Xiaoguang was also with him.
"Brother, I don't understand these very well~" On the way there, Xin Xiaoguang was uneasy.
Zhang Tan comforted him, "You don't need to do anything, just follow along."
In short, Xin Xiaoguang was just there to support the scene. If Zhang Tan went alone, it wouldn't be a big problem, as he knew everything he should know, but he seemed to be outnumbered, and his negotiation momentum was much weaker.
At the same time, Zhang Tan deeply realized that the talent strength of the film and television studio was too weak, and he regretted not having enough people when he needed them.
For example, this time, he could only bring Xin Xiaoguang to fill the gap.
Pujiang Film Studio sent legal, financial and public relations personnel, but they called more than ten minutes ago to say that their car had a scratch with someone else and they were stuck in a traffic jam, so they couldn't get here on time and would be more than ten minutes late.
When Zhang Tan and Xin Xiaoguang arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, the staff of the Publicity Department, a young man named Xiaoye, was waiting at the door. When they saw them, they came up and said, "The four of them have arrived. I'll take you there."
Zhang Tan looked at him and smiled, "Will you be there when we talk later, Xiaoye?"
Xiaoye said, "The main thing is for you two to talk. I won't be there. If you need me, you can call me at any time. I'll be waiting outside the door."
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "It's not good for you to wait outside the door. We are all family. When we talk, you can come in and sit with us."
Xiaoye was very moved by what he said. He felt that Mr. Zhang was really considerate. He was so famous and had such a strong background, but he had no airs.
Xin Xiaoguang's eyes were strange. He could hear that Boss Zhang was not approachable at all. He was obviously recruiting people and pulling government staff into his team to make up the numbers.
"Is this the translator?" Xiaoye smiled and got to know Xin Xiaoguang.
Xin Xiaoguang didn't know how he became a translator. He only knew a few words in Japanese and only knew how to do you do in English.
"He is a legal officer." Zhang Tan introduced.
Xin Xiaoguang suddenly felt a little pain in his teeth. He was a legal officer. He didn't understand the law at all. He only knew that he couldn't break the law.
"Is that right, Xiaoguang? What's wrong with your teeth?"
Xin Xiaoguang: "Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, my gums are a little inflamed."
Zhang Tan: "That's okay, just bear with it and it will pass. Let's go, I'm going to trouble you today."
Xiaoye followed him and reminded again: "Mr. Zhang, translator, we still need a translator."
Zhang Tan said: "Didn't you say there are no foreigners? Why do we need a translator?"
Xiaoye smiled bitterly, thinking, didn't I say it last time!
"The person in charge over there speaks English, not Chinese."
Zhang Tan thought about it, and happened to see Tan Jin'er looking over here in the distance, and said with a smile: "I found the translator, here, it's right there, wait for me, I'll go and invite the translator over."
