Unemployment at the beginning, I let the big devil of the music world return

Chapter 871 A Name That Wasn't Given in Vain

The car is parked in the parking lot.

Jiang Yang took out his phone and glanced at it. Seeing that there was no response from his father-in-law, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He's been writing the script for "In the Name of the People" these past few days. When he leaves, he'll just toss it on his father-in-law's sofa and hit the road. I wonder what his father-in-law will think when he sees it.

He guessed he wouldn't feel good. If he didn't know he had plagiarized, he would have thought he deliberately made the villain Gao Zhiwu follow the style of Lao Li's writing, having an affair, a fake divorce, and even having a son, thus giving Sister Ning an extra brother for no reason.

hiss--

Jiang Yang became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it, to the point that he almost fell off his suitcase when he entered the elevator.

"Slower."

Li Qingning was on the phone with her earphones on in the back when she reached out to help Jiang Yang.

They took the elevator home. As soon as they opened the door, Jiang Yang pushed his suitcase and lay down on the sofa. "Awesome!" he exclaimed. The long journey had been exhausting, and the sofa was far more comfortable.

"Go get your things, don't keep bothering Sister Xia."

Li Qingning reminded him.

"Oh."

Jiang Yang got up to take the box.

He brought back quite a lot of things this time, including a strategy game given to him by Tian Shuang from Lemon.com, a car model given to him by Li Qingning's business partner, as well as books, toys, games, digital products, figurines, and the like that he bought.

Li Qingning doesn't have many things.

She always came and went in a carefree manner, and she never had time to tidy up.

She was busy on the high-speed train. When she arrived at her doorstep, many people were already waiting in the lobby reception room, including Sister Chen, Fang Xiao from Jiangyu Entertainment, and some people from Jiangyang whom she had met once or had never met before.

They've all come up now, and there are many things waiting for Li Qingning to decide.

Jiang Yang carried his luggage back one by one, and was just about to unpack when he received a call from Zhou Hao.

"Are you back yet?"

Zhou Hao asked, "Tian Gou is at the bubble bar; he needs our help."

"Old Tian?"

Jiang Yang hung up the phone, puzzled. He told Li Qingning, then picked up his skateboard and went out, saving himself the effort of walking.

"Check the car."

Li Qingning didn't forget to give a reminder.

"understood."

After changing his shoes, Jiang Yang took the elevator and was greeted by Grandpa Wang carrying a birdcage as he walked out of the lobby.

Jiang Yang greeted him, "Grandpa, walking your bird?"

Old Wang's words sounded awkward no matter how you looked at them: "You finally know to come back, kid. Where have you been?"

Jiang Yang said it.

"Oh, you're back. Come to my house."

Grandpa Wang said.

Jiang Yang took some time to finish the script for "The Pianist" and gave it to Wang Zheng. This was Wang Zheng's directorial debut, and he couldn't afford to fail. He had already gone to Southeast Asia to scout locations and prepare for filming.

He's unlikely to be back anytime soon. He can't use the gym membership and boxing classes he had before, so he left them with Jiang Yang. "—He took you there and said you knew that gym," said Grandpa Wang.

"okay."

Jiang Yang thought to himself that it wasn't that the boxing lessons were no longer needed; it was that Wang Yingdi had been eyeing the boxing coach but hadn't been able to go, so he stopped going.

He said goodbye to Grandpa Wang, put the skateboard on the ground, and rode away.

"Slow down."

Grandpa Wang reminded him.

"understood--"

Jiang Yang turned around and waved to him. As he turned back, a person walked towards him. Jiang Yang tried to dodge to the side, but the person seemed distracted. Upon seeing Jiang Yang's shadow, the person instinctively dodged to the side. Jiang Yang had no choice but to turn back. However, he was moving too fast, and in the back and forth movement, he lost his balance. He took a few quick steps and, relying on his waist strength, managed to pull out his hand to brace himself just before falling to the ground, thus avoiding serious injury.

"Excuse me, excuse me, are you alright?"

The person quickly apologized.

Jiang Yang pushed himself up and saw that the man was probably in his thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and had a scholarly air about him. He looked familiar and guessed that the man was a neighbor; he had seen him before when he came and went.

"fine."

Jiang Yang clapped his hands.

Grandpa Wang came over at this moment, carrying the bird: "How come you didn't hurt your face? What a pity."

"You're just jealous that I'm more handsome than your son."

Jiang Yang picked up his skateboard, stopped skating, and said to them, "Let's go."

Grandpa Wang stayed behind, and as the two were about to head back, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Grandpa Wang asked, "Didn't I run into you?"

The neighbor shook his head: "No."

Grandpa Wang: "Young people are so impetuous."

He looked at Jiang Yang's retreating figure, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Yang wasn't exactly mature beyond his years before, but he at least had a certain composure, or perhaps a cautiousness? In the past few months, after the New Year, he's become somewhat... how should I put it, more energetic?
The neighbor chuckled and said, "I was just spacing out."

Grandpa Wang smiled and said, "You must be Grandpa Jiang's family who lives on the 9th floor."

"Yes, my father-in-law. My surname is Shen. You can just call me Xiao Shen..."

The two chatted for a while, then got into the elevator and went their separate ways.

Jiang Yang had arrived. After greeting the old man from Chuanrenju, he went into Bubble's bar. The bar wasn't open yet in broad daylight. Bubble was yawning and cleaning. Zhou Hao and Tian Gou were sitting by the window.

Tian Gou looked worried, while Zhou Hao was engrossed in playing a mobile game.

"Brother Pao".

Jiang Yang greeted Paopao, walked over to Tian Gou and the others, and casually took out his phone: "Take me with you."

Tian Gou: ...

Tian Gou: "Can't you guys have any conscience at all?"

Jiang Yang opened the game: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Hao: "He was scammed."

Jiang Yang: "Bought tea?"

Zhou Hao: ...

"If Miss Tang runs off with his money, can that be called being cheated?"

Zhou Hao told Jiang Yang not to make unfounded connections, as this Tian Gou was not that sycophant.

Of course, Wu Xiu is still a bit more awesome.

Every time he met Wu Xiu, he would be given a large box of tea.

Tian Gou was scammed by someone in the entertainment industry.

He had a taste of acting in "The Silent Truth," and found that acting was quite interesting compared to the life of collecting rent. Especially after the TV series aired, he, a character with only one or two lines and a few appearances, became a celebrity. People asked him to do live streams, act, and shoot commercials—not TV commercials, but more like shooting a signboard for a storefront.

Then--

Since Jiang Yang filmed "The Last Transfer in the Northern Desert of the Tang Dynasty," Professor Tang has had the pleasure of being a consultant. As a professor who studies the history of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to recreate the Tang Dynasty. However, seeing how he used his professional knowledge to guide Jiang Yang and his team step by step back to the Tang Dynasty in terms of armor, weapons, and clothing, and how the show was well received after it aired, he was deeply moved. He felt that although he had retired, his knowledge had finally found a place to be put to good use.

He was still waiting for Jiang Yang to approach him when he was filming a TV series about the Tang Dynasty.

This was something Jiang Yang had promised.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yang, that bastard, simply disappeared, leaving Professor Tang at home looking around in bewilderment, sword in hand.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Tian Gou found filmmaking interesting and, being a devoted admirer of Miss Tang, decided to invest in the film to please Professor Tang.

After the TV series aired, Tian Gou still made a few friends in the industry, including a skinny guy with a tiny bit of connections. When he heard that Tian Gou was going to make a movie, he patted his chest and said, "I'll do it!"

This thin-faced man used to work in director Zhang Mo's film crew as an assistant director. He even showed the end credits of the film to Tian Gou, where his name appeared as the second assistant director. Tian Gou felt he could trust him.

and--

The script that the thin-faced man found for him was also very suitable: "The Guiyi Army."

The story takes place roughly a few decades after the Anxi Army was destroyed in "The Last Transfer of the Tang Dynasty in the Northern Desert," when a man named Zhang Yichao raised the banner of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, defeated a powerful enemy, and planned to return to the Tang Dynasty.

This script perfectly captured the essence of Tian Gou and Professor Tang's minds, and Tian Gou immediately decided to adapt it into a film.

who knows--

"That bastard's a liar! Damn it—"

Tian Gou was furious.

Zhou Hao: "What assistant director? Just someone who works under the executive director."

Anyway, the slim-faced guy ran off with all of Tian Gou's money and even cheated the crew.

Now the crew is blocking his door.

Tian Gou: "I don't even dare to go home now."

Zhou Hao: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. You have so many burrows, what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Yang: "Yes."

Tian Gou: "They've all been rented out."

Zhou Hao: "That guy is so dishonest. He could have just cheated you, but he also cheated the crew out of a pittance."

Tian Gou: ...

Tian Gou: "You two stop playing around and give me some advice."

Zhou Hao: "That grandson has already fled to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Even the police can't do anything about it. What can we do?"

Tian Gou certainly knew.

He asked Zhou Hao and Jiang Yang to come up with a solution: "This show has to keep going!"

Professor Tang really liked the script, though he didn't say it aloud. Tian Gou knew Professor Tang was very disappointed. He planned to push the project forward, and this time he wouldn't hire unreliable people; he would hire Zhou Hao and Jiang Yang instead.

"I go!"

Zhou Hao, Jiang Yang, and Bubble, who brought water to Jiang Yang and the others, all did so at the same time.

Zhou Hao: "Your name is definitely not for nothing."
