Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

It’s a great feeling to be the center of everyone’s attention. Although there are only a few dozen people here, Xu Damao feels an unprecedented sense of satisfaction at this moment.

He believed that in the future he would become a celebrity here, no, he should become a celebrity in CCTV!

Cough!

Xu Damao coughed lightly, held up two fingers, and was about to speak when Lu Chenglin spoke first, "Two hundred thousand?"

As for why it was not 20,000, Lu Chenglin was not so naive. He believed that Xu Damao would not go through such a fuss for 20,000.

But two hundred thousand is not a small amount. At least it will cover all the expenses of the film and television center for the next year.

Of course, this is just office expenses and staff salaries, not TV series shooting funds.

Lu Chenglin himself estimated that the cost of one Journey to the West alone would be at least three million, so although Xu Damao's 200,000 was a lot, it could not solve any big problems!

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his voice rose to a higher level: "Director, who are you looking down on? It's just 200,000 yuan, how can I do this!"

Only two hundred thousand?

Not only Lu Chenglin, but also the employees in the corridor felt that Xu Damao was quite crazy at this moment.

Little did she know that she had just been stimulated by Chang Zhengyang, and at this moment she unconsciously imitated Chang Zhengyang's posture.

But Lu Chenglin changed his mind and looked at Xu Damao's smug attitude. Could it be that it was two million?

My God, where did this guy come from and how could he get two million in sponsorship?

Thinking of this, Lu Chenglin swallowed subconsciously, stared at Xu Damao and asked, "You mean, two million?"

When talking about two million, Lu Chenglin's tone was very gentle, for fear that Xu Damao would say no.

At this moment, Xu Damao felt the movement in the corridor, and looking at Lu Chenglin's posture, he immediately started to make trouble.

The guy just shook his head and said calmly, "Too low!"

What? It’s too low, more than two million?

Lu Chenglin's breathing stagnated and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyes.

That’s right, Xu Damao raised two fingers. Since this guy said that two million was too low, could it be, could it be twenty million?

This can't be done, right?

If he had this ability and this background, he would have been my director long ago. Why would he just be a deputy leader of the photography team?

Facing Lu Chenglin's suspicious eyes, Xu Damao smiled confidently and said, "Director, do you think I would joke about this?"

Lu Chenglin was stunned when he heard this, then he came to his senses. He glanced at the employees who were peeking in the corridor, gritted his teeth, and pulled Xu Damao out.

As he walked, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go see Deputy Director Pang now. If you talk nonsense, I will never let you go!"

Hey!

Xu Damao smiled triumphantly, broke free from Lu Chenglin's hand, and the two of them went straight to Deputy Director Pang's office.

As a newly established department, the Film and Television Center is currently working in CCTV's former utility room. The two walked through the supplies in the corridor and soon arrived at Deputy Director Pang's office.

dong dong!

"Come in!"

"Deputy Director Pang, we have something to report to you!"

Deputy Director Pang put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Lu Chenglin and Xu Damao, and motioned for them to sit down.

"What's up"

Lu Chenglin turned his head to look at Xu Damao, and seeing that he was still very confident, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and quickly told him how he had gotten Xu Damao to sponsor 20 million yuan.

"What did you say, twenty million?"

Deputy Director Pang was a man who had seen the world. When he heard that Xu Damao had actually secured 20 million in sponsorship, he lost his composure and stood up suddenly.

Xu Damao was then stared at by the two leaders. He knew that he could no longer hide his feelings, so he stood up and said, "Two leaders, this is what happened. After yesterday's meeting, I felt that I should do something for the station and the center, so I found my neighbor, my good buddy. Well, the two leaders may know him. His name is Chang Zhengyang, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences and the director of the School of Medicine of Yenching University..."

"Wait a minute, you said Dean Chang is your neighbor, a good buddy?"

Pang Zhanyuan couldn't help but interrupt Xu Damao and looked at him with surprise. As for Lu Chenglin, he was not much better. He looked at Xu Damao as if he had seen a ghost.

No, brother, if you have such connections, why would you come to a poor and unemployed place like our Film and Television Center?

Perhaps it was because Lu Chenglin's expression was too obvious. Xu Damao raised his hand and scratched the back of his head and said, "Zhengyang and I are still brothers, but..."

Pang Zhanyuan and Lu Chenglin looked at each other and understood Xu Damao's subtext.

It's always embarrassing to ask someone for help, especially a friend, for a job transfer.

It’s a man’s desire to win!

Pang Zhanyuan smiled kindly: "I understand, I understand. Young people are all like this. Xiao Xu, sit down and have a cup of tea. We will talk slowly."

Lu Chenglin consciously acted as a waiter and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. Xu Damao declined at first and then took the cup.

The three of them took two sips of tea, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Xu Damao cleared his throat and said, "Zhengyang's intention is that he is willing to sponsor us to film the Four Great Classics, and..."

Xu Damao paused, looked at Pang Zhanyuan seriously and said, "What he meant was that he would cover all the expenses. 20 million is just the first payment. He hopes that we will use the best equipment, the best talents, and the best venues. Don't be afraid to spend money. He will be responsible for the funding."

Pang Zhanyuan said in disbelief: "Really?"

Xu Damao nodded heavily: "Follow!"

Pang Zhanyuan and Lu Chenglin looked at each other, then grabbed Xu Damao's hand and shook it vigorously, saying, "Xiao Xu, you have helped the station solve a big problem. You are a comrade with high awareness and strong ability. On behalf of the station, I want to add more responsibilities to you. Well, the director of the logistics department will be here soon..."

"Leader, Comrade Xu Damao is the backbone of our center. Without him, our center's work will not be able to proceed!"

"Hmm? Comrade Lu Chenglin, this is your fault. As the saying goes, the big river has water, and the small river has water. I will report this matter to the station. You should have a big picture view!"

Damn it, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death!

Lu Chenglin cursed in his heart and nodded happily to express his intention. If he continued to insist, Xu Damao would think that he was blocking his progress.

Seeing that Lu Chenglin had given in, Pang Zhanyuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xu Damao and said softly, "Xiao Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Damao was delighted and nodded modestly, "I will obey the leader's arrangement!"
