Chapter 2058: Prison Break

Zhou Andong went to the restroom, took a leak, and then lit a cigarette. When he came out, Dai Xiaomin had returned.

"So fast?"

Dai Xiaomin shook the camera in her hand: "The owner of the pharmacy next door has a camera; his son bought it when he got married a while ago, and then they went traveling. They returned yesterday for the opening of the music festival, otherwise, I really wouldn't have known where to borrow one."

Zhou Andong smiled: "The interior renovation of the Qiudongfang Shopping Plaza is almost finished. The dining area on the fourth floor is currently looking for tenants. You should hurry up and rent a spot; business won't be bad."

"Okay!" Dai Xiaomin followed Zhou Andong's words implicitly and would never discount them: "I'll still look for 365 for the renovation!"

"When did you renovate this shop?" Zhou Andong looked around the shop again: "I wanted to ask you as soon as I walked in."

"We started renovating on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It was during the Spring Festival, and there weren't many guests, so I thought about redecorating the shop."

Dai Xiaomin casually tore open a beverage box on the side, took out a bottle of iced black tea, opened it, and handed it to Zhou Andong, then opened one for herself.

"Before the New Year, I took the kids to Dicos. I liked the renovation and dining atmosphere there so much that I thought about redecorating Lao Chuan Hot Pot in that style."

"Then I found Uncle Xiaobei. After my aunt understood, she said that since this is a hot pot restaurant, it wouldn't be appropriate to decorate it in the fast-food style of Dicos, so she designed this antique style for me."

"Very good!" Zhou Andong nodded: "Just renovate the Qiudongfang Shopping Plaza like this."

At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Dai Xiaomin said, "Uncle, you go up first. I'll go to the kitchen to keep an eye on things, and I'll come up to toast later."

Zhou Andong didn't say anything else, stepped onto the stairs, and entered the number one private room.

"I thought you had fallen into the toilet; I was just thinking about going to fish you out."

Gu Bing was busy putting meat slices into the pot and didn't forget to make a snide remark when he saw Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes and was about to retort, but thinking that Andy and the Heavenly Queen Wang were both there, he sighed in his heart and decided to give his brother-in-law some face.

Zhou Andong sat down. Dou Xian'er had already opened all the beers and was pouring them one by one.

"Chairman Zhou, Chairman Gu, President Ma, Andy, Lan, I'd like to toast you all."

Zhou Andong and the others raised their glasses and drank them in one gulp.

"Eat meat, eat meat." Gu Bing urged: "Andy, Lan, and the Heavenly Queen Wang, we are all family here, please don't be formal."

"Don't worry, I won't be formal!" Andy picked up a chopstick of lamb, put it in his mouth, and said contentedly, "The taste is really good."

Everyone was hungry. After Dou Xian'er finished the toast, no one drank anymore, but instead, disregarding their image, they shoveled meat into their mouths.

After a few minutes, everyone had some food in their stomachs and slowed down their pace, then began to pick up their wine glasses, and the atmosphere picked up as well.

Immediately after, Dai Xiaomin knocked on the door with wine and began to toast everyone one by one.

Zhou Andong introduced Ma Xiaotong, Andy, Lan, the Heavenly Queen Wang, and Dou Xian'er to Dai Xiaomin, and then, using the stepping stone Zhou Andong provided, she called them all uncle and aunt.

"Don't call me aunt; let's just call each other by our names. You can just call me Jingwen."

Being called aunt by someone several years older than herself, the Heavenly Queen Wang was truly a bit embarrassed.

Lan and Andy also hurriedly waved their hands, saying one after another that calling them brother and sister was fine.

Only Ma Xiaotong and Dou Xian'er were very calm because they had a nephew named Wan Peng.

Hanging around Future Culture all day, being called uncle or aunt every day, they already had strong resistance.

Naturally, since Dai Xiaomin had already called them uncle and aunt, wasn't asking for a group photo too simple?

Then, they called a waiter to take photos one by one, and finally, they took a big group photo.

After Dai Xiaomin left happily, Zhou Andong talked about the cooperation with Tianmu.

"Xiaotong, what are your thoughts? Let's hear them."

Ma Xiaotong put down her chopsticks, picked up a napkin, and wiped her mouth: "Our main business is records. Although we have film and television business, it is just starting, and we have only filmed one TV series so far."

"And Tianmu is a film and television company. Our cooperation can complement each other's shortcomings. Most importantly, 1997 is coming, and cooperation between the mainland and Xiangjiang in entertainment culture is the general trend."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "That's what I'm considering too." Zhou Andong nodded: "In the future, when Andy develops in the mainland, we can provide support, and when we develop in Xiangjiang, Andy can also provide support."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong looked at Andy and said with a smile: "Andy has wide connections and a high status in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, so he can be of greater help to us."

"No, no, no!" Andy hurriedly shook his head: "Dongzai, you are being too modest. If I develop in the mainland and can get your help, I'm the one taking the big advantage."

"You two stop flattering each other." Ma Xiaotong shook her head with a smile: "My preliminary idea is that after we cooperate, we will first film a TV series, share resources and experience, mainly to let both sides grind and cooperate. When the time is ripe, we will film a movie."

"That's what I think too." Zhou Andong drank some wine: "The movie market is not very good right now, so it's safer to film a TV series first. And I have a story in my mind that I've long wanted to film."

"But this story can't be filmed in the mainland, and even if it could, it couldn't be broadcast. So, cooperating with Tianmu, if the background of this story is placed in Xiangjiang, there will be no problem."

As soon as he said this, everyone became interested, especially Andy, who couldn't help but ask.

"Can you tell us about it?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong picked up a chopstick of lamb and put it in his mouth. After swallowing it, he said: "The name of the play is 'Prison Break', and the protagonist is Liu Tianhua, naturally played by Andy."

"Liu Tianhua's brother, Liu Yunhua, was convicted of a serious crime of murder and thrown into the death row of the prison. Although all the evidence points to Liu Yunhua being the murderer, Liu Tianhua firmly believes that his brother is innocent."

"As the execution date of Liu Yunhua's death penalty approaches, with no other choice, Liu Tianhua breaks into a bank with a gun, is arrested and imprisoned, and then comes to his brother's side."

"As a construction engineer, Liu Tianhua participated in the prison renovation project and knows this place like the back of his hand. He designed the most perfect prison break plan in history, and the only purpose of going to prison is to save his big brother and clear his name..."

Everyone listened very carefully, especially when they heard that the tattoo on Liu Tianhua's back was actually the prison architectural blueprint; everyone's blood boiled.

In fact, this TV series 'Prison Break' was something he thought about filming in the United States after acquiring Sony Pictures.

Now that he is going to cooperate with Andy's Tianmu, it's not impossible to film it with a Xiangjiang background.

He will make a detailed outline and then find a professional screenwriter to write it, and he will review it at that time.

As for whether this play can be a hit, it doesn't matter. The investment in a TV series is still affordable.

Anyway, at that time, this play will have to be taken to the United States for adaptation and remake. ===== CHAPTER 2059 =====
