Partnering to open a film and television company

"Well, we just got our marriage certificate. I'll treat my brothers to wedding candy in a few years." Shen Roujiao didn't hide anything and looked frank.

But the two people on the opposite side were unwilling to accept this. They widened their eyes in shock. Zhang Qing stood up proudly, "Why did Zhou Huaiyue treat you like this? His family couldn't even afford a proper wedding and just sent you away like this? This is clearly bullying."

It’s so annoying.

His brother cried so hard when he drank. If he knew that the person he coveted was looked down upon by Zhou Huaiyue, he would have broken his legs.

"No, no..." Shen Roujiao was interrupted before she could explain.

"No? The Zhou family has no money? It doesn't seem like that. Huaiyue, this is not a fair thing to do. My sister has been wronged." Opening a pharmaceutical factory and buying a car, he doesn't look like someone who is short of money, so why would he be reluctant to hold a wedding?

Is it possible that his concern for the gentle girl is just acting? If it is true, he acted so well that it would be a pity if he is not an actor.

Xie Yunli pulled Zhang Qingjie's sleeve and asked him to sit down.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's me who doesn't want to have a wedding." Good guy, it's all thanks to Huaiyue not being here, otherwise we would have had a fight.

?

Which girl doesn't want a grand wedding? This is too unreasonable.

"Why?" Zhang Qingjie didn't believe it.

"My four older brothers are all unmarried, so I, the youngest, can't be the first one to get married." Shen Roujiao's explanation was reasonable. After all, that was what people cared about in that era.

"Oh, that's what I mean. Huai Yue dared to treat you like this. My brother will not forgive him." Zhang Qingjie suppressed a lot of his anger.

They chatted for a while, and Shen Roujiao prepared delicious food for them, including the legendary stinky tofu, skewers and sweet potato cakes.

On the way home, they bought some skewers of delicious food and washed and steamed the sweet potatoes. When Shen Roujiao went to the pot at the foot of the wall to pick up the stinky tofu, Zhang Qingjie and Xie Yunli pinched their noses and hid far away.

"Why does it smell like shit?" Xie Yunli poked Zhang Qingjie with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"Get lost! If you say that word again, she will beat you." That's right, that word is a taboo. She will get angry with anyone who says it. You can say "stinky", but you can never say it stinks like shit.

Xie Yunli was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

The kitchen had been renovated, with larger windows installed, making it clean and tidy. While Shen Roujiao was busy, they helped and chatted casually: after the Chinese New Year, Wang Li joined the crew of "The Shepherd" produced by Xie Yunli's father and played the leading female role; Xie Yunli joined the crew of "Loess Plateau" and served as a photographer.

However, when Zhang Qingjie came back this time, he wanted to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but was turned away because Wang Li's mother did not agree.

The reason is still those three words: look down upon.

In the eyes of Wang Li's mother, her daughter successfully achieved a class leap, from an ordinary person to a movie star; while Zhang Qingjie is still an ordinary person, but he changed from a factory to a film crew, doing the most basic jobs.

Even though Wang Li repeatedly said that Zhang Qingjie worked very hard, he would never have gotten the leading role without him. Moreover, because of his brother's marriage, the Zhang family would definitely be a well-known family in the capital in the future. Many directors were willing to give her a chance because of this relationship.

"His family is his family, but what about him? He is just a lighting worker. So what? Can his family's connections make him a big director?" Wang Li was speechless at her mother's question.

She didn't care whether Zhang Qingjie was a lighting engineer or an ordinary person. He was really nice to her. He supported her in everything and tried to help her expand her network. This was enough for her.

Like Roujiao, she doesn't care that Zhou Huaiyue is an educated youth with no future. They both have such a good life now, working towards the same goal together. It is better to become a powerful person than to depend on them.

It is better to be a good person than to marry a good one.

This is what Wang Li saw in Shen Roujiao.

......

After the sweet potatoes were taken out of the pot and let to cool, Shen Roujiao mashed them into a paste, mixed some corn flour, beat two eggs, sprinkled with white sugar, rolled them into a ball, and put it on the iron pot. Soon the fragrance wafted out.

Xie Yunli, who was standing nearby, sniffed and sighed, "It smells so good," and glanced at Zhang Qingjie's depressed face, and consoled him, "Why don't you do the same as the young boss and get the certificate first? As long as Wang Li agrees, it won't matter how much her mother objects."

Xie Yunli is open-minded. She believes that life doesn’t need so many rules and regulations. The most important thing is to do what you like.

"No, I want to give Wang Li a grand wedding so that her mother will have nothing to say." Zhang Qingjie has loved Wang Li for so many years, he would never do anything to let her suffer any injustice.

Shen Roujiao flipped the sweet potato pancake over, looked at the golden brown pancake and asked, "What is Brother Zhang going to do?"

She admired Zhang Qingjie very much. He liked Wang Li so much that he took her goals as his own. Although his personality was different from Zhang Qingjun's, they were both as strong-willed as each other.

Zhang Qingjie sighed, sneered, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I don't know. How about I learn photography from Yunli? Or learn directing from Director Xie?" No matter which of these two, he was unsure and really couldn't do it.

"Give it a try, I'll teach you." Xie Yunli and Zhang Qingjie got along well, so it wasn't impossible for him to be a photography assistant.

The sweet potato pancakes were baked to a golden brown on both sides and came out of the pan. Zhang Qingjie couldn't wait and picked up a piece. He took a bite and kept clicking his tongue for a long time. After he finished eating it all, he said, "It still tastes the same! Damn it, Zhou Huaiyue is so lucky. He must have been very lucky in his previous life to marry the young boss."

"It's delicious, why are you scolding Huai Yue?" Xie Yunli also picked up a piece. It was crispy, fragrant and soft, and lived up to its reputation. "Damn, it's really delicious."

!

A funny couple.

The washed vegetables were threaded onto knitting needles, blanched, and then soaked in a soup with chili oil. "Bring it in. I'll fry some stinky tofu. It'll be ready soon."

The two people carrying the food went to the living room and set the table.

"Yunli, try the skewers, they are so delicious that it will make you cry." Zhang Qingjie pointed at the fragrant chili oil and drooled. He missed the taste so much, but he couldn't have it in Beijing.

"I'll have some potato chips, lotus root, and an egg." Xie Yunli was really rude and only took the delicious ones.

After a while, the crispy stinky tofu came out of the pot, drizzled with chili oil and sprinkled with chopped green onions, and was brought to Xie Yunli, "Brother Yunli, smell it and see if it still stinks."

"It's just like Beijing bean juice, stinky and fragrant." Xie Yunli picked up a piece and took a bite. The soup mixed with the tender and smooth tofu filled his mouth. He didn't have time to talk. He nodded while eating until he swallowed the last bite. His eyes sparkled. "When Huaiyue comes back, I'll ask him where he burned incense in his previous life. I'll also pray for a wife as spiritual as this."

The various ways of praising her were so beautiful that Shen Roujiao was delighted.

Seeing them eating and drinking, slurping the spicy food, Shen Roujiao hurriedly poured water for them and asked, "Brother Zhang, have you ever thought about opening a film and television company?"

? ?

The hand that was picking up the vegetables stopped in the air, and four eyes stared at her with confusion.

In Shen Roujiao's opinion, Zhang Qingjie's greatest advantage is his personality, that is, no matter where he is thrown, he can make full use of his skills. As for learning photography and directing, needless to say, he himself probably has no confidence, and he is just rushing to do it to gain a reputation.

Xie Yunli thought he had misheard, so he asked, "What did you say?"

"Open a film and television company."

She spoke each word clearly, making sure they both heard it clearly.

! !

Double shock, unbelievable.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Qingjie smiled and waved his hands, "Little Boss, don't be ridiculous. I don't have the skills to run a film and television company. I don't even know how to turn on the lights."

In those days, movies were shot in large-scale studios. The machines were owned by the state, the scripts were from the units, the selection of subjects, production approvals, and shooting tasks were all arranged. Directors received a fixed salary based on their title and length of service, and even if they received an honorary award or something, it was not much money.

"Who can afford to open a film and television company by themselves? Those movie companies in Hong Kong are all owned by big bosses." Xie Yunli said indifferently. This idea was really a fantasy. Anyway, he had never thought about it.

"One person can't afford it, but the three of us can." Shen Roujiao's eyes were firm and serious, leaving no room for doubt.

Both pairs of chopsticks were put down immediately, and Zhang Qingjie and Xie Yunli asked at the same time, "The three of us?"

"Yes, Brother Qingjie will be in charge of production, Brother Yunli will be in charge of filming, and I will be in charge of financing. The three of us can set up the stall."

This idea was absolutely groundbreaking, and it was an angel investor plan to invest in director Xie Yunli.

Shen Roujiao has even decided on the name of the first film to be shot after the company is established: Red Sorghum.

"Thank you, young boss. You think too highly of us." Xie Yunli graduated from Beijing Film Academy last year. She is only a photographer now and has a long way to go before becoming a director. Although she appreciates her trust, her ability does not allow it.

"Young boss, do you really think I can do it?" Zhang Qingjie was moved. He might not believe in his own ability, but he absolutely believed in Shen Roujiao's vision. There was nothing she couldn't accomplish if she wanted to do it.

She said he could do it, so he definitely could do it.

Shen Roujiao didn't say anything, but just nodded heavily.

"Can I wait another two years? I'll go and learn, starting from the beginning." Zhang Qingjie suddenly had a direction in life, as if he had cleared away the thick fog in front of him and found a bright road.

Xie Yunli was moved by Zhang Qingjie's high spirits and was filled with strength. "Okay, I will work hard and learn well too."

"It's a deal." Shen Roujiao stretched out her hand and signaled Zhang Qingjie and Xie Yunli to put their hands up.

"It's a deal!" The three of them put their hands together and said in unison.

......

The fifth to last day of December is a big day for Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory. Military procurement will begin this month, with monthly deliveries of 1.5 million packs.

All the approval procedures were handled by the second brother Shen Tiancheng. The medicines were sent to several major military regions on special military trains. There were dozens of documents in each link, and there was no room for error. Shen Tiancheng personally negotiated and coordinated the whole process, and the arrangements were orderly. His strong work ability deserves a thumbs up from everyone.

Before five trucks loaded with Sanhua Weitai drove away from the factory, red ribbons were hung on the doors of each truck in accordance with local custom.

All factory employees stood at the gate of the Sanhua factory, watching trucks drive one after another to the county railway station.

Soon, packages of stomach medicine will be delivered to hospitals, clinics, and health teams of every unit, and the soldiers defending their country will use the stomach medicine from Yunnan and Sanhua.

This includes Zhang Qingjun.
