039 Not him
"Xiaowan."
Zhou Manxin chased after the elevator entrance and saw Zhong Xixi, and asked with some concern, "Are you okay?"
Zhong Xixi's emotions had calmed down. She grabbed the bag in her hand and shook her head, "I'm fine."
She whispered, "I'm sorry, Sister Xin, I wasn't aiming at you just now, maybe I'm under too much pressure recently."
Zhou Manxin held her hand and said, "It's okay, I know you're busy recently and have too much work. You should pay attention to rest."
"I will."
At this time, the elevator arrived.
Zhong Xixi said, "Then I'll go back to the hotel first. I'll call you after I finish recording the program."
"good."
After Zhou Manxin watched her into the elevator, her brows frowned. To be honest, she really didn't expect Xiaowan to have such a big reaction.
This matter was something she thought of before.
…………
"Sister Xi, are you going back to the hotel?"
After getting in the car, the assistant asked carefully.
"Um."
Zhong Xixi responded, supported her chin with her hands, and looked out the car window. Her eyes under her sunglasses gradually turned red.
The street scene outside the window kept regressing, just like the passing time, which could never come back.
This is not him.
The Chen Fan in her memory could not bear the slightest grievance and would always hurt her.
He is very strong and will tell her, if you don’t like me, I would rather not.
When he was so self-righteous that he was almost dying of illness, he thought about how to hide it from her and prevent her from knowing that he was dead...
The gate of memory was opened instantly, and Zhong Xixi seemed to have returned to that morning. She looked at Chen Fan sitting in a wheelchair, her head tilted down, and her heart kept sinking.
Her hands grabbed the handrail hard, because she used too much force, her knuckles were a little white.
"That's just a dream, just a dream..."
My eyes became blurred, and I could no longer see the street scene outside. Tears fell down and fell on her chest. Soon, it became wet.
…………
Zhou Manxin returned to the conference room, and Chen Fan and the other two were there.
She said to Guo Yuzhi, "You go back first."
Guo Yuzhi knew that he had nothing to do, so he stood up, greeted Chen Fan and the others, and left.
Huang Jialu said, "Mr. Zhou, you saw it just now. Zhong Xixi was completely deliberately making trouble. Chen Fan didn't say anything, but just got angry."
Zhou Manxin said another thing without comment, "Jialu, there is an exchange meeting over the acquired demon city. I originally planned to go there in person. Now, seeing this, I can't leave anymore. You can go there for me."
"ah?"
Huang Jialu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would give her such a task.
Zhou Manxin said, "I have booked the air ticket for you. It will be a plane at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You can go back and pack your luggage first."
"But……"
"Don't, this is a rare opportunity. Many well-known screenwriters in the industry will be there. After going there, learn more. Go."
After Zhou Manxin sent Huang Jialu away, she and Chen Fan were the only ones left in the conference room.
"You have seen Zhong Xixi's attitude just now, and the chances are slim. However, we can't just give up like this. Since she is willing to come, we have a chance. We have to fight for it. I will find a chance to see her again. I hope you can convince her."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou, you should look for someone else. I feel that she seems to have some objections to me. I am afraid that I will mess it up again."
He felt that he was treated as a punching bag by Zhong Xixi, and he felt a little depressed, but he didn't want to be scolded again.
"No, this matter is necessary for you. You also hope that the movies adapted from your works can be made with higher quality and receive higher attention, right? If Zhong Xixi can participate in the performance, I can get a higher investment, at least 10 million."
This investment amount can only be regarded as a small production in the film industry. But for Chen Fan, it was a number that he couldn't imagine before, but he still felt that he couldn't handle it, "But..."
Zhou Manxin said, "Believe me, you should have seen it too. I am friends with her. Based on my understanding of her, she scolded you for no reason today. After calming down, she will definitely feel guilty. So, if you talk to her, the possibility of success is higher."
"Then I'll try again."
Seeing that she said this, Chen Fan was just trying to make things happen, and at most he was scolded. This novel was his hard work. If he could make it better, what would be the case if he was scolded or two?
Zhou Manxin saw that he agreed and said, "You will stay in the company in the afternoon. I will give you some information on film production, so you can take a good look."
"good."
…………
It was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that Chen Fan left Manman Film and Television Company. After reading the information for most of the day, he was tired of reading it.
After leaving the company, she arrived at the restaurant she had been to last time with Huang Jialu. She was already sitting there waiting in a window seat.
"Sorry, I'm late." Chen Fan walked over and explained, "The phone is out of battery, I haven't noticed it. I just charged it."
Huang Jialu smiled and said, "It's okay, I just arrived not long ago, so let's get something."
After ordering the dishes, Chen Fan asked, "How are the things being cleaned up?"
"It's already packed."
After saying that, it suddenly became a little cold.
After a while, Huang Jialu put a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "What are your plans after this script is completed?"
Chen Fan said, "Go back to Guanghai."
"Didn't you quit your previous job?"
"I've lived there for almost ten years and I've gotten used to it, and all the friends I know are there."
"oh."
Huang Jialu stopped talking, and Chen Fan didn't say anything anymore.
This silence was not broken until the meal came.
Of course, Chen Fan could see that Huang Jialu was a little interested in him. In fact, he also thought this girl was pretty good. If it were before, he would definitely consider it seriously.
But now, he really doesn't have the intention.
He hasn't walked out of Lin Xiuwan yet.
After a meal and Chen Fan wanted to check out, the boss told him that Huang Jialu had bought the order first.
"Last time you invited me, I'll treat you this time." Huang Jialu had already brought her bag, walked over and said, "Let's go, go back."
The two walked to the nearby subway station and took the subway back.
"You said that when the heroine returned to reality, she found that it was just a dream. What would she react? Will she really not recognize the hero at the beginning as you wrote in your novel?" Huang Jialu said suddenly.
Chen Fan knew that she was talking about the story of the script and said, "It's really hard to say. I wrote that way to carry out the subsequent plot. Why did I ask this suddenly?"
"I was wondering, if our movie succeeds and we want to make a sequel, how should we shoot it."
Chapter completed!
