Chapter 1086 1186. Beautiful Misunderstanding
Wang Zimu suffered from insomnia again, or it would be more appropriate to say that he didn't sleep at all all night.
After the celebration dinner yesterday, other winners naturally had another dinner to celebrate individually. Although Wang Zimu didn't win the prize, he was appreciated by Nie Wei, so naturally many people wanted him to celebrate together.
However, all of these were rejected by Wang Zimu.
After listening to Liu Yi's words, he had made up his mind and didn't want to have more contact with these people. After all, it would be terrible if Huayi or Nie Wei misunderstood.
And even if Wang Zimu wanted to celebrate, he wouldn't find them to celebrate. Although the restaurant they went to was very high-end, it was far less fragrant than the pig head meat with Erguotou at the newsstand of Old Man Yang's house.
When Wang Zimu rushed to the villa area of the old man's house, the lights of Old Man Yang's villa were still on. He pressed the doorbell and the nanny soon opened the door for him.
As soon as Wang Zimu entered the house, he smelled the aroma of pig head meat and couldn't help laughing immediately.
"Go wash your hands, and then have a couple of drinks with me." The old man was sitting in the living room on the first floor. When he saw Wang Zimu staring at the pig head in front of him after he entered the room, he was immediately happy.
"Okay, wait for me." Wang Zimu ran to the bathroom familiarly, and ran back to the living room in a hurry a few minutes later.
"Why are you in a hurry? I'm not competing with you, a kid, for food." Seeing Wang Zimu's impatient look, Mr. Yang laughed and scolded, and then took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Wang Zimu who was eating pig head.
"Want to go?"
"I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Wang Zimu picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then his face turned red instantly.
Mr. Yang was not surprised, but Wang Zimu's appearance when he drank for the first time really scared him. However, after drinking a meal, he realized that Wang Zimu's alcohol tolerance was good, but he was drunk and his face looked red, but he was not drunk.
After two glasses of wine, Wang Zimu ate a few more pieces of pig head meat, and then put down his chopsticks.
He told Mr. Yang about Nie Wei's olive branch at the banquet, and the conditions that the film and television company bosses tempted him with, including the decision he made.
He didn't want Mr. Yang to make a decision for him. He had already made a decision and would not regret it. He just wanted to listen to the earnest teachings of the old man who had always taken care of him.
"This choice is correct." Mr. Yang's first answer put Wang Zimu at ease.
"As the saying goes, water flows to low places, and people go to high places. Although I don't understand your entertainment industry, I know that you look at those college graduates from famous universities. Which of them didn't apply for companies in the Fortune 500?"
"People should be motivated. People without motivation are like what they say in that movie, salted fish. Do you want to be a salted fish?"
Wang Zimu shook his head when he heard this.
"That's right." Mr. Yang took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and then continued: "Besides, the young man named Liu Yi is right. You should go to a big company to see it. Don't listen to those small companies who say that it's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. They are all fooling you. Some things are very rare. If you miss them, you may never have the chance in this life."
"Even if you feel that you can't continue working in Huayi in the future, the resume of working in that company alone is enough for you to find another company in a glorious way."
"Xiao Wang, do you think I am right?"
"Grandpa, what you said is right. I listen to you. I will report to Huayi tomorrow morning." Wang Zimu drank another glass. Mr. Yang's words made him more certain of his choice.
"That's right. Show the same energy you bring to my newsstand every morning to show the bosses of Huayi your firm attitude. The first impression is very important. So, don't return the watch yet. Keep it with you. I'll find you a suit of my son's and you can stay at the villa. I'll ask Master Zhu to drive you to Huayi in the morning."
"Grandpa, this is not good. I've received a lot of favors from you..." Wang Zimu refused subconsciously, but was glared at by Grandpa Yang and didn't dare to continue.
"You are still estranged from me. Remember to come and see me more often when you are successful. Don't be like my son who only knows how to give me money. But what's the use of that money for an old man like me?" Grandpa Yang said and sighed at the end. What the old man wants most is the company of his children and grandchildren. After all, their lives have entered the final stage, and they cherish the time they spend with their families more and more.
Wang Zimu's eyes were a little red, and he nodded silently.
One night, Wang Zimu lay on the big bed in the villa's guest room, either looking at his phone or staring at the ceiling in a daze. Even though he drank half a catty of white wine, he had no intention of falling asleep. Instead, his brain felt very excited.
His mind was divergent, thinking about his life after joining Huayi, with both expectation and anxiety. He kept his eyes open and thought about it all night. At four o'clock in the morning, he couldn't bear it anymore and got up.
After changing into the suit and white shirt prepared by Mr. Yang for him, putting on the expensive watch, looking in the mirror, and looking at himself in the mirror, although not handsome but very energetic, Wang Zimu felt more confident.
Originally, because it was too early, Wang Zimu didn't plan to use the old man's car again, but he didn't expect that when he was about to leave the villa to take a taxi, he found that a Mercedes-Benz parked not far from the door opened the door.
"Director Xiao Wang, this way." The driver greeted Wang Zimu as soon as he got off the car. Wang Zimu also knew this driver, who was Master Zhu who was in charge of Mr. Yang's travel.
"Even if you arrive, you have to get up early. You asked me to drive and wait here at four o'clock. Sure enough, fortunately I came in time, otherwise I would have missed it." Master Zhu smiled and wanted to take over the schoolbag that Wang Zimu was carrying, but was politely rejected by Wang Zimu. After all, he was not a weak boy who couldn't carry a schoolbag on his shoulders. He was really not used to having others help him carry a schoolbag.
Master Zhu didn't insist. He smiled and opened the back door for Wang Zimu. After watching him get in, he took the initiative to close the door for Wang Zimu, and then returned to the driver's seat.
"Is it the main building of Huayi?" Master Zhu got in the car and confirmed it again.
"Yes." Wang Zimu answered affirmatively, with a hint of pride in his words.
After all, from today on, he is a member of Huayi, and Huayi is the largest entertainment company in the Chinese entertainment industry. This is just like being admitted to Peking University or Huaqing University in China. Wang Zimu feels honored from the bottom of his heart, and he feels that his choice is correct.
After all, if he chose those small companies, he would be embarrassed to tell the driver the names of those companies now. After all, even a small director like him who claims to be an insider has never heard of many of them.
"Director Xiao Wang has a bright future. Huayi's movies are thumbs up. When you make a movie in the future, I will definitely go to the cinema to support your movie. My whole family will go to watch it."
"Master Zhu, thank you." Wang Zimu thanked Master Zhu, but he didn't tell Master Zhu how difficult it is to make a theater movie, and he, a rookie director, didn't know how long it would take to really make a theater movie of his own.
Wang Zimu chatted with Master Zhu in this way, and the car drove steadily towards the Huayi building. There were not many cars in the early morning, so the big Mercedes-Benz was smooth all the way and arrived at the destination in more than half an hour.
Wang Zimu got out of the car and thanked Master Zhu, but also declined Master Zhu's company. After all, this was not a normal working hour, and Master Zhu drove to pick him up early in the morning without complaint, which made Wang Zimu very grateful. He would be even more embarrassed to delay Master Zhu's rest time.
"What a good boy." Before Master Zhu started the car and left, he looked at Wang Zimu's back again and couldn't help but sigh.
In the interaction between people, kindness can be felt. Master Zhu obviously felt the kindness from Wang Zimu. Apart from the relationship with Mr. Yang, Master Zhu himself also had a little good impression of Wang Zimu.
Wang Zimu came to the main building of Huayi. The door was closed. He called twice, and a security guard came out while wearing a coat. Hearing that Wang Zimu was a newly recruited director of Huayi, he didn't say anything special, but told Wang Zimu that the main building would not officially open the door until 7:30, and the staff would have to wait until 9 o'clock to go to work.
Wang Zimu tentatively asked the security guard if he could go to the guard room to rest, but was politely rejected by the security guard.
He was too embarrassed to stay, so he had to turn around and leave the main building of Huayi and start wandering around. He didn't know the way, so he just wandered around. After wandering around for a few sections, he suddenly found that the door of the annex building on the other side of Huayi was open. The most important thing was that he saw many boys and girls who looked like students going in and out of there. Occasionally there would be one or two adults, but most of them were still students.
"Is this an art school held by Huayi?" Wang Zimu guessed, and his footsteps unconsciously walked over there.
After all, it was too boring to wander around alone, and this building seemed to be open. Thinking that he would soon be an employee of Huayi, Wang Zimu curiously went over.
Wang Zimu carried a schoolbag and wore a casual suit. He followed two men who looked a little older and easily mixed into the annex building. There was no security guard to stop him, which made him think that this annex building itself was "undefended".
The two men walking in front looked back at Wang Zimu strangely, but soon turned around and said nothing.
Wang Zimu was shocked when he saw the two men looking at him with doubtful eyes. He was ready to explain, but no one asked him who he was.
"I should give some advice after joining the company. The security of this annex building is too lax." Wang Zimu had already felt a little like a Huayi employee before he even entered Huayi.
Following the two men, Wang Zimu came to the third floor smoothly. When the two men turned around and walked out of the elevator, they suddenly shouted to Wang Zimu who was still standing there in the elevator: "Rookie, what are you daydreaming about? Come out, we're here."
Wang Zimu was confused and didn't know what the other party wanted him to do, but he still walked out honestly.
After all, this place still belongs to Huayi, and it's not like they would sell him, who weighs more than 100 pounds.
Just like that, Wang Zimu followed the two men to the end of the corridor. One of the men took out a key and unlocked the door of a security door at the end. Wang Zimu also followed the two men in.
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Zimu's eyes were filled with photographic equipment and he couldn't move his eyes anymore.
"Canon C300, Sony FSC7, wow, and DJI's latest drone, my god, there is a full set of mechanical auxiliary equipment here, didn't the Internet say that this set of equipment is still in the trial stage, how come it is here?"
"Because that technology company is invested by our Huayi CEO Nie." The man who opened the door looked at Wang Zimu with "contempt", as if he was looking at a rookie who had never seen the world.
"Okay, pick up the equipment quickly, in another twenty minutes, we will officially start shooting." Another man patted Wang Zimu on the shoulder and motioned him to get the equipment.
But Wang Zimu didn't know what to get, so he could only look at him with a confused face.
"The newcomers nowadays are really... You didn't read the preparation notice Xiao Liu gave you yesterday, your attitude is really far from what we had back then, forget it, I'm talking about the camera model, you go find it, this will be there."
Wang Zimu nodded repeatedly. Although he had never really touched many machines, he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge. As the man reported the names of the machines one by one, Wang Zimu quickly found these machines.
In fact, they were all very common models, and Wang Zimu didn't get any of the high-end equipment that he coveted.
"Are we going to shoot a documentary?" But when all the equipment was found, Wang Zimu suddenly realized something when he looked at these things.
But his question made the two men even angrier.
"You rookie, you really didn't read the notice at all. Of course, we are going to shoot a documentary today, and it is a documentary for the company's new girl group before their debut. You should be careful. Let me tell you, one of the members of that girl group is Nie Wei's sister."
Wang Zimu realized something was wrong at this time. He felt that the two men seemed to have misunderstood something.
But the two men didn't give Wang Zimu a chance to explain. They simply confirmed the correct way to operate the machine with Wang Zimu. Seeing that Wang Zimu could use the equipment skillfully, they were relieved and strode forward to the door.
Wang Zimu fell behind, thought about it, and finally didn't explain.
Because he felt that this opportunity was too rare. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to touch the camera on the first day of work. Although he was only a photographer now, this kind of practical opportunity was really precious, and he was reluctant to put down the machine in his hand.
What a good machine! Wang Zimu looked at the machine again with love, and his eyes were like looking at his goddess.
"Rookie, what are you staring at? Hurry up and catch up!"
