Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 2 Don’t die in the spring like a wild dog

The broken windows blew cold wind into the house. Hachiko followed Chen Shiping with his tail wagging, watching him clumsily papering the windows with newspapers.

Chen Shiping lowered his head and took it to the heater.

Who are you kidding, this scrawled puppy?

Boom boom boom!

"Shiping, are you at home?"

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Chen Shiping recognized the voice of Xiao Bing, a colleague from his film studio.

"what's up?"

Chen Shiping responded loudly, but he had no intention of opening the door. The newspaper in his hand had not been glued yet. If he let go now, all his previous efforts would have been wasted, and he would have to be disliked by Hachigong.

What's more, the scene of the house being smashed was really not suitable for seeing people.

Xiao Bing, who was outside the door, didn't wait for Chen Shiping to open the door. Thinking of the gossip he just heard, he probably guessed what was going on.

"It's okay. Teacher Wang just asked you to go see him tomorrow afternoon. You haven't been doing well recently. I might talk to you about work issues, so be careful."

Xiao Bing didn't speak too bluntly. After all, there were so many households in the dormitory, so it was better to save some face for him.

There was silence outside the door for a moment. Chen Shiping sighed, turned to look at the door and said, "Thank you."

"What, Shi Ping, when will you pay me back the two hundred yuan you owe me? It's already been half a year."

Xiao Bing's voice suddenly sounded again, directly interrupting Chen Shiping's unfinished thank you.

Xiao Bing was a bit thin-skinned, but thinking of Chen Shiping's current situation, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't mean to rush you. I'm getting married soon and I need money everywhere. Look."

"I got it. I'll pay you back my salary at the end of the month. Even if I lose my job, this month's salary will be indispensable."

Hearing Chen Shiping's assurance in the corridor, Xiao Bing rubbed his hands and said a few words before leaving, as if he was not the one who owed money.

I'm a cultural person, but I'm still a bit thin-skinned. If it were Chen Shiping, he would have come to visit me a long time ago.

The cold wind in the room gradually disappeared. Chen Shiping sat on the corner of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to freeze to death like a wild dog tonight.

Xiao Bing just said to be careful. When talking about work, there is a high probability that he will be fired.

I don't go to work on time all day long. I've been in the factory for almost a year and I haven't participated in any screenwriting work, whether it's a solo creation or a joint venture.

I am in debt and will soon lose my job. These days I am really looking forward to it.

"Hachiko, I don't know if it's your good luck or bad luck that you met me, but I will definitely not starve you in the future."

Chen Shiping teased the puppy with his feet. The puppy was also lying on the ground, showing its swollen belly. It had just eaten three buns.

I hope I can feed Hachiko until he is plump and chubby in the future!

Chen Shiping teased the puppy for a while and then began to think about how to break the situation.

It's like playing a game. The copy has been given, and all that's left is to come up with the strategy and then execute it.

Chen Shiping carefully analyzed the current situation. He decided not to worry about solving the problem of more than three thousand yuan now and wait until it stabilizes.

The key is to first hold tomorrow's leaders accountable, otherwise they won't even be able to live in the dormitory if they lose their jobs.

When the time comes, we will become wild dogs together with Hachiko, freezing to death in the spring when the flowers are about to bloom!

It’s actually not that difficult to resolve the leadership’s accountability at work, but time is a bit tight.

Work problems are caused by attitude and output. The rules and regulations in the factory are not that strict, and it is normal for art workers to be relatively unorganized.

As long as it can produce works, there will be no problem. The biggest problem with the original version is that there is no production.

Previously, the factory arranged for him to write a script with several colleagues, but he ran away halfway through his participation. So far, he has done nothing.

Chen Shiping thought about it for a while and came up with a way to solve the work problem.

Show your attitude, show your results, and prove your ability and determination to the leader!

On a long cold night, Chen Shiping was wrapped in a quilt and writing at his desk. Hachiko at his feet had fallen asleep on his feet.

In the end, Chen Shiping didn't remember when he fell asleep, so he just spent a miserable night lying on the table.

That night, he dreamed that he was happily making hot pot at home. There was fragrant mutton in the boiling soup base, and Hachiko was gnawing bones at his feet. When he woke up in the morning, Chen Shiping still couldn't accept returning to the cold reality. Fortunately, Hachiko rubbed his feet and gave him a lot of comfort.

Now is not the time to think about hot pot, the key is how to deal with leadership accountability in the afternoon.

Chen Shiping looked at the gray sky outside, rubbed his hands and took out the pen from the ink bottle.

The wound on his head was still aching, and he hadn't slept well yesterday. Chen Shiping felt like his temples were going to explode.

But now I can only hold on!

Chen Shiping wrote an outline of the script last night. To be precise, it should be the outline of the novel.

Yesterday I wrote more than 10,000 words, and my finger joints were dented. Now they are swollen. It hurts so much to hold the pen, but I haven't finished writing yet.

This script outline is the key to whether he can keep his job today.

As for what to write about, isn’t yesterday’s experience the best answer?

A happy life can never be achieved by talking about it.

Only one try!

In my previous life, in order to pay off debts, I had to get up at four o'clock to deliver milk. I was already very happy just because I was immersed in writing!

When the original person was not led astray by the corrupt life in the movie, he had a solid foundation for learning that his attitude was not wrong.

Chen Shiping didn't feel awkward when writing the script. His thoughts were flowing and he felt like he was inspired to write!

The blue writing keeps emerging on the paper, and the sharp strokes are like Chen Shiping's firm belief and desire for a better life!

Time passed little by little, the snow outside had stopped, and the sun shone in through the window, giving Chen Shiping a golden light.

When Chen Shiping finished writing the last word and drew a full stop, he felt that he could no longer lift his arms.

But looking at the dozens of manuscript papers filled with words, he grinned.

This is his first step to start a happy life in this era!

"Woooo~~"

Hachiko saw Chen Shiping's hand hanging down, sobbed and licked his fingers.

The wet touch on his fingertips made Chen Shiping couldn't help but laugh.

"What a good dog." Chen Shiping endured the pain in his arm and rubbed Hachiko's head.

"Wait until I come back and take you to eat something delicious." Chen Shiping tidied up his papers, washed his face briefly and went out.

Hachiko watched Chen Shiping leave, wagging his tail, picking up Chen Shiping's slippers, and lay down next to the heater.

On the way to the main building of the film studio, Chen Shiping was also recalling things about his original life in the film studio.

Normally, one would not be fired easily from this kind of job, but after the film studio was transformed into a company last year, it became much more flexible in many aspects.

There are advantages and disadvantages. For Chen Shiping, the disadvantage is that he will be shot.

This kind of flexibility is now reflected in personnel matters, and other places are basically the same as before.

If the factory wants to set up a project, it must first find a screenwriter to write a script. After the script is written, it is submitted to the literature department for review and revision, and then to the factory committee for discussion.

After a complete set, it takes at least four months to decide whether a movie can be made. The efficiency is too slow.

But these have little to do with Chen Shiping. He just wants to keep his job now!

Let yourself and Hachiko have a delicious meal!

A few minutes later, in the office of the Department of Literature, Wang Ruitao looked at the unkempt Chen Shiping and said angrily: "Chen Shiping! Look at what you look like now! You don't look like you are working at all!"

"I wanted to talk to you, but I don't think it's necessary! You must be fired!"

There were many people sitting in the office of the Department of Literature, most of them watching the excitement, and many were gloating about the misfortune. Only Xiao Bing looked at Chen Shiping with a worried look on his face, probably because he was afraid that he would not get his money back.

Let's all laugh hard. Chen Shiping told himself in his heart that he must remember how he feels now, and he must not be a joke in the future!

Chen Shiping looked at Wang Ruitao and shook his long bangs, revealing the bandaged wound. After confirming that Wang Ruitao noticed it, he handed over the manuscript paper in his hand.

"Teacher Wang, this is a script I wrote. Even if I are fired, I hope you will read it first and regard it as your biggest contribution to the factory."

　Give me your strong support!
