Four hundred and forty-one: chatting and laughing
"I'm chatting and laughing with Duane..."
A sentence echoed indoors.
This is a small room. At a glance, it is roughly ten square meters and there are no windows. There are two tables in the room, divided on both sides, occupying most of the space in the room. The two tables are piled with books with various paper objects spread out, messy newspapers, half hanging on the table and half falling into the magazines in the cracks of the wall, and various paper objects are piled on the two tables. In addition, there are also pen holders and some office stationery, which are submerged in the vast paper objects.
There is now a person sitting behind the two tables. Behind the table in the east is a middle-aged fat man, and behind the table in the west is a young and thin man.
In late March, the temperature in Nanyang began to warm up, not as cold as the Spring Festival, but the room seemed to be toxic. People who were cold in this kind of weather were trembling, obviously several degrees lower than outside, so the two people were still using the small sun, one for each, and placed under their table.
The middle-aged fat man is now sitting boldly: he took one foot out of his shoes, wrapped it on his other leg, and did not sit directly opposite the table, but turned his body over and raised his right hand high to point his fingers, shaking like he had Parkinson's, waving his mouth and opening and closing.
"... In the restaurant that Lao Xu's house opened last time I took you to, Duane and I were drinking and having fun and chatting! The news that the box office of "Liberation Day" was about to exceed 3 billion was also the first one I reported. Which of the big newspapers has not reposted my reports?..."
This is the workplace of Nanyang City Daily, and the middle-aged fat man is Wu Jun.
To a certain extent, he can be said to be Duane's old friend. He has been tirelessly acquainting Duane's dings since "The Pretty Beauty". Almost every time Duane's movie is released, he will brag about this messy tabloid in Shanghai. Now he is tired of work and is bragging with the new junior Zhao Runkai to relax.
Actually, it’s not considered bragging, because what Wu Jun said is true, but probably because he usually talks about the train too much, and even the most basic trust between people is missing. Although Zhao Runkai was listening obediently, his eyes were full of disbelief. His eyes were clearly saying, “Just blow”, but Wu Jun was recalling the past and didn’t notice it, and it was just a memory that was filled with inspiration.
"......We felt sympathetic at that time. After drinking too much, our minds became hot. He wanted to pray to me on the spot. I finally stopped him..."
Zhao Run opened the corner of her mouth and twitched, and she couldn't listen and wanted to turn her head, but she still held it back. After Wu Jun talked for a long time and recalled the past, the timeline finally came to the present.
"...I don't know what he is doing now, why hasn't he been showing up? I have to call and ask what he is doing recently."
Wu Jun seemed to be skilled with Du An 24k and always called, but if he really wanted to call him, he would have a stomachache again. Zhao Runkai knew about this, so he didn't mention this to stab him. He just said, "He should be in the late stage of the new movie, right? That Truman finished filming before the New Year, calculate the time, and now he should be in the late stage."
When Wu Jun heard this, he nodded, reached out to his face and picked up a newspaper and threw it aside. He picked up his teacup from below, opened the lid and took a sip, and nodded silently.
“It should be.”
Then he sighed, "It's really a bit unfavorable if he is missing in the entertainment industry."
Although Zhao Runkai has always thought that Wu Jun is farting, he still sincerely agrees with this sentence.
"Who said no? Now this kind of news can be on the headlines," he said, picking up a morning newspaper entertainment page of the day. The headlines on it were news that a certain celebrity went to participate in the event. "It's too light, we can't play well. It would be great if he came out and made a headline. It would be enough to write for several days!"
Wu Jun sighed again and made a summary, "It's hard for a good cook to cook without rice..."
The purpose of publishing newspapers like these is to copy, copy news from various newspapers and magazines, and then process them through their performance and put them on their newspapers. Ordinary reporters run outside, and they just sit in the office and read newspapers and perform more.
Of course, you will still go out in rare cases, but that situation is rarely the case.
The two of them sighed and went to spend time here. After seeing that it was almost done, Zhao Runkai went to the bathroom and went to the front desk to bring all the evening newspapers they sent today and began to prepare their processing work.
Wu Jun felt his feet warm and had already put them down. Although his upper body was very paralyzed, his posture was much better than the posture of cross-legged feet just now. Even if he was sitting upright.
Although he looked at the newspaper in front of him, his eyes were not focused.
Will it be better for children to live in school? After all, they are both busy with work and really don’t have time to take care of their children. The parents die early and cannot help, so they should be more at ease. But now the children are still too young, would it be bad to live in school at such a young age? And if they live in school, the expenses will increase again...
Wu Jun was thinking, when Zhao Runkai next to him suddenly shouted, which scared him to the point of being shocked.
"Depend on!!!"
Zhao Runkai shouted.
Wu Jun shivered, and suddenly he went from being slumped on the back of the chair to sitting. His waist straightened up and turned to look at Zhao Runkai.
"What happened?!"
Then he saw Zhao Runkai staring at a newspaper in front of him.
After hearing Wu Jun's words, Zhao Runkai slowly turned his head and looked at him, opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Finally, he handed the newspaper over to Wu Jun.
"You can see it yourself."
He looked strange when he said this and was in a strange state.
Wu Jun took the newspaper in confusion, lowered his head, and then saw a report.
"Duan?"
This is the Nanyang Evening News. Now Wu Jun is holding the entertainment version. This report occupies most of the page. The title is very strange, with only two words and a question mark. After a look, no one knows what the title means. There is a picture next to it.
The news picture is a photo, and this photo is made of four photos together. Each photo is taken in black and white documents. The photos are taken very clearly and you can clearly see the words on it, such as "screenwriter: Duane", for example, "producer: Duane".
The four photos have the same words, but judging from the other contents of the visible part of the file, these four files belong to different crews.
Wu Jun was confused and could only read the reports. As the reports continued, the expression on his face was also very rich and constantly changing.
"... According to people familiar with the matter, the well-known director Duane is conducting post-production of his new movie "Trumen's World". It is expected that the movie will meet everyone this summer. From the production cycle, Duane's production speed in the past two years is one year, but this energetic young director seems to be not satisfied with this speed. According to unknown people, Duane now has four movies waiting to be filmed. He is the screenwriter of these four movies and will also serve as the producer of these four movies. Moreover, these four movies will be filmed this year and will all be online to meet the audience..."
Five movies a year? Are you having a brain problem with the people who write the report or is it April Fools' Day, and you're kidding?
But it's March now, April Fool's Day is not yet available! And the reporters and editors of Nanyang Evening News probably won't have any problems with their brains.
So this should be true.
If this is a report from other newspapers, such as their newspaper "Nanyang City Daily", then Wu Jun would definitely read it like a joke, but this was reported by the Nanyang Evening News. In the Sujiang area, the Nanyang Evening News can be said to be the most authoritative and sales newspaper. If it weren't for the exact news, they would never report it casually. So, that is to say, Du An really plans to release five movies a year?...
Wu Jun's face changed, and finally threw the newspaper on the table, pounded it hard, and sighed.
"Duan is still here to be excited!"
Wu Jun felt so comfortable that he had been constipated for a week and suddenly had diarrhea.
Whether Duane is really crazy or fake, this news is enough for him to write... No, I have written a week's news. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-01-21 06:23:10
