Chapter 481 Congratulations to Mr.
Shen Tang wrote a script himself, which was a war film, and the protagonists were not adults, but a group of children.
It tells the story of a group of children whose village was bombed. The children escaped by hiding in a cellar and were rescued by several Red Army soldiers with a mission.
Later, the Japanese attacked and the Red Army soldiers sacrificed their lives to save the children. Before they died, they handed over the mission to this group of children.
This group of children fought wits and courage with the Japanese along the way. In the end, only a seven-year-old child found the troops and handed the letter in his hand to the troops.
The protagonist must be no older than fifteen years old and no younger than seven years old.
When He Zhi heard that Chen Tang was going to film a children's play, he was eager to participate. Since he was not too old, he could be given a role.
Children are all the protagonists in this play, but only one survives in the end. That child must be ignorant, innocent, and tragic.
Chen Tang planned to let He Zhi play the role of the surviving child's brother, who died while struggling to grab a handful of food under enemy fire in order to deliver intelligence to the Red Army leaders.
In order to avoid delaying the children's studies, Chen Tang decided to start filming this summer and prepare for casting and equipment purchase in the next six months.
It was her first time filming a movie, and everyone in the film industry mocked her.
In everyone's eyes, Miss Shen Tang was just here to play in the film industry.
Haven't you noticed that she hasn't filmed a single scene in the past two years?
Chen Tang's fame has long faded with the passage of time. Instead of filming a couple of dramas to boost her fame, she turned to directing and writing her own dramas. Isn't this ridiculous?
Knowing that Chen Tang was going to cast a character, and chose a child of a few years old, he sneered even more.
Children are the most difficult to control, and she happened to be filming a war movie, so it's easy for them to hurt people if they're not careful. Who would be stupid enough to send their child to her for filming?
Chen Tang occasionally heard others say that she was daydreaming, but she didn't get angry. Only by laying out the facts could she slap others in the face.
Since the art troupe, drama club, etc. were unwilling to help her, she went to the countryside to cast.
After Director Qin found out, he took over the casting matter.
Chen Tang had been kind to him and often helped him take care of his father. Since he had promised Chen Tang, he naturally had to help him to the end.
Chen Tang has no experience in casting, so it’s better to let him do it.
There is no need to go to the countryside to cast. There are many orphans in the welfare home who lost their parents in the war. They are physically healthy and can understand other people's expressions because of their lives since childhood. They are the best choices for casting.
Casting from orphanages can not only help them make a living, but also provide a source of income for older children.
Chen Tang also thought this was a good idea. He had just registered the company and there were only a few actors in it. If there were any good talents, he could sign them in.
The casting of the crew was handed over to Professor Qin Wang, and Mr. He’s 80th birthday was also approaching.
The old man's birthday was held in the largest state-owned hotel in the capital. The eldest wife insisted on competing for the birthday party, and He Xu was happy to let it go and simply let them do it themselves, but the money was paid by the three wives together.
Uncle He was released from prison and wanted to prove his ability, so he almost took care of the entire banquet by himself.
I heard that several famous chefs were specially invited, and there were more than a dozen delicious dishes from flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on land, filling every table.
Old Master He's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw how grand the ceremony was held by his eldest son.
All his money was given to Chen Tang, he didn't have that much money to spend!
When Uncle He heard that the old man wanted to cut down on expenses, he retorted, "This is a birthday party for you and a welcome party for me. How can we save money? If we don't make it bigger, how will others look at our He family when we go out in the future?"
"Besides, we are already frugal enough. Look at the birthday party held by Mr. Li last year and the wedding of Mrs. Huang's son a few years ago. They were all so luxurious that everyone was stunned."
"Don't worry, we, the eldest family, will pay half of the money, and He Xu and He Yang will pay the remaining half."
Mr. He: "You fool, are you holding a birthday party for me or for yourself? Take down those big red wedding characters and all the Manchu and Han banquets. Can our He family be so high-profile? Five meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, two staple foods and a soup are enough for each table!"
Although Uncle He did not agree, he felt bad when he thought about how his mother's money was almost spent by him, so he agreed.
He also wanted his wife to accept the gift.
Old Master He held his forehead with his hand. He had finally realized that his eldest son was thinking of spending money to hold a birthday party for him while also trying to use him to accept gifts.
The abacus beads hit him in the face!
Mr. He was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he asked Chen Tang and He Yue to accept the gifts together.
Take out all the valuable gifts and return them, especially those with money or gold bars inside. Don’t even think about entering the He family!
When the upper class in Kyoto heard that the old man would not accept those gifts, those who had ulterior motives gave up their thoughts.
It was also the first time for Chen Tang to see so many high-ranking officials. She herself had attended many banquets, but most of them could not invite high-ranking officials to participate. Most of them were their wives.
Now seeing so many people, even big leaders, she was shocked and excited.
I really want an autograph.
But it is impossible to sign an autograph, but it is possible to take photos.
This state-owned hotel is of Chinese style with a large courtyard in the middle. Mr. He's completely white hair does not prevent him from standing in the middle to the left.
Chen Tang and He Xu were not qualified to go in and take pictures, as all the people inside were big shots.
But she can take pictures for them.
Chen Tang excitedly held the camera and said to the group of old men: "One, two, three, eggplant!"
Everyone: "...Eggplant."
After taking the photo, the senior leader patted Mr. Shen on the shoulder and said, "Your granddaughter is pretty good."
Very brave.
Mr. Shen smiled innocently, nodded and said polite words.
He wiped the sweat from his head inadvertently.
I haven't worked for many years, and suddenly meeting my boss felt a bit stressful.
The big boss may be bragging casually, but it looks different to others. Those who play politics always look down on those who do business.
It is no secret that Chen Tang is doing business. She was praised by the top leader. Does it mean that the top leader is now focusing on the national economy and encouraging everyone to do business?
For a moment, the people below were in a state of confusion.
Some people even wanted to take advantage of the banquet to hook up with Shen Tang and Shen Yue, trying to find out from them where the next economic opportunity is.
Chen Tang was confused, what economic trend was that? What would these people have to do with her if she knew about it?
After the banquet, her face was so stiff from smiling.
Mr. He is also tired.
It's really not easy to live when you have to go out and socialize at your age.
Fortunately, the banquet was over and they could have a good meal when they got home.
Uncle He did not forget to reward his family and asked the chefs to prepare another table of dishes and send them to the military region.
He was happier than Mr. He, who was celebrating his birthday.
Yes, he was the one who went out to greet other dignitaries, and he was the one who toasted them. In his opinion, that meant that his status as the eldest son was secure, and the old man was giving him the opportunity to build connections.
"Dad, today is your birthday party, and I haven't given you a gift yet. This is an antique my wife and I gave you. I wish you good fortune and a long life!"
Mr. He looked at the antique vase and was shocked: "Where did you get this antique from?"
Uncle He: "I bought it. Why don't you like it?"
Mr. He's blood pressure was about to soar: "Do you know that buying and selling antiques is illegal?"
Uncle He: "Well, I bought it secretly. Don't worry, no one knows except our family."
Old Mrs. Jin who was sitting next to her: "..."
