Chapter 1168: Establishing Authority (12)

Bai Jianping officially took over the cast of "Dark Blood".

There is something wrong with taking up the position. He is responsible for the food for hundreds of people in the crew. He has a heavy responsibility, but he is not a leader.

Today was the first time he met with the catering purchasing staff of this production crew, and the one who sent him over was the first stage manager of the production crew.

Bai Jianping will report to this stage manager from now on.

Bai Jianping is a person who is not good at words. After being introduced by the drama manager, he said a few words to about ten people and then officially took office.

The original person in charge was fired, along with three other people, all because of dietary issues.

The stage manager told him that all the personnel who should be dealt with had been dealt with, but Bai Jianping was still worried. On the first day of work, the details of all the purchased ingredients came, and he checked them one by one.

This check really made him discover a lot of problems.

It's not that there's a problem with the quality of the ingredients, it's that the purchase price is significantly higher than the market price.

He has been in this business for almost two years, and he knows better than anyone what ingredients and prices they are, so he glances at the price lists and he knows them clearly.

He thought for a moment, considering what to do.

He now has two choices, one is to pretend that he didn't find anything, and the other is to find a report from the drama management. In that case, the people in charge of these purchasing lines will definitely be fired.

Just when he was hesitating, he saw Zhang Tan coming, and his Guawazi Xiaobai also came.

Xiaobai saw him at the first sight, standing at the old man's feet, watching him laughing, holding up his children's mobile phone in his hand, taking pictures at him, with a black look on his face.

"Hahaha~~~"

"What are you talking about? What are you filming?"

"Uncle, are you here all of a sudden?"

"I work here."

"Hahaha, why are you going to work with my old man?"

"We were meant to be together."

"Do you drink Bear?"

"If you don't want to drink, drink it yourself."

"Uncle, is the little bear at home okay?"

During the last cleaning, Bai Jianping bought a box of bear drinks for her and Xi'er. They didn't finish the drinks and stored them in the refrigerator. Xiao Bai didn't forget it, so he kept it in mind.

Bai Jianping was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said that he should be fine.

"You go and play while I talk to your old man."

Zhang Tan asked a female staff member to take Xiaobai to watch the filming, and then walked to the small room where the screenwriter worked. Bai Jianping followed and told him that there was something fishy about the procurement.

"Show me the details." Zhang Tan said, taking a list and looking at it, Bai Jianping pointed to three items, namely green vegetables, small peppers and cooking oil.

The purchase prices of these three items are significantly higher than the market conditions.

Zhang Tan thought for a while, returned the list to him and said, "You go directly to the drama manager, and what will happen to you and the drama manager in the future?"

Immediately, Zhang Tan told Bai Jianping his analysis.

It is impossible for the show manager to be aware of these three procurement issues. You must know that several staff members were fired just two days ago due to procurement problems.

He wouldn't naively think that the other party didn't check all the ingredients. Bai Jianping could see the problem at a glance, but others couldn't see it after two and three looks?

Zhang Tan thinks that the showrunners left these three issues unaddressed, mostly for Bai Jianping to establish his authority.

The amounts of these three ingredients are not large, so they are relatively minor problems. They seem to be specially reserved for Bai Jianping to practice.

Bai Jianping didn't expect that there was such a secret inside, and he wondered if he would ask Zhang Tan. If he pretended that he didn't notice, the show manager would turn him away.

After Zhang Tan watched him leave, he didn't take it to heart. There weren't many such things on the crew, but there were also quite a few. Pujiang Film Studio is a major domestic company, and the management of the crew has been very strict and standardized. It's still difficult to completely eliminate this kind of thing. You can imagine how chaotic other places are.

There are even many film crews and directors who know clearly that they receive kickbacks on purchases, but they have no choice but to turn a blind eye to these people.

Zhang Tan took his mobile phone and browsed shopping websites. The weather was getting colder and he wanted to buy Xiaobai some autumn and winter clothes.

Children grow up quickly, and the new clothes they bought last year can no longer be worn this year.

He spent a long time choosing and finally bought two sets of autumn clothes.

As soon as he placed the order and was about to go out to take a look, Xiaobai ran in like a storm.

"Old man, you scared me so much~" Xiao Bai said, his face turned a little pale.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Tan asked, pouring her a glass of warm water. The child's face was pale and she looked very frightened.

Xiaobai Balabala told that she was still frightened. It turned out that she had just watched the filming, and it turned out that the scene happened to be quite bloody and violent, which frightened her so much that she ran back in a panic before watching it.

Zhang Tan asked her to stay in the room to watch cartoons and turned on the tablet for her. The child watched "Windmill and Fake Sophistication" and soon burst into laughter, instantly throwing away the fear she had before. back.

Zhang Tan told her to stay in the room and not go out. He immediately went out and came to the filming site, standing behind the director to watch the show.

Screenwriter Jiang Rong was also there, standing next to Zhang Tan and communicating with him in a low voice.

At lunch time, Bai Jianping came over and told Zhang Tan that the three purchasing staff had been fired.

Zhang Tan nodded and said, "Then the crew should have no big problem."

At this time, a staff member knocked on the door and said, "Teacher Zhang, the director wants you to come over for dinner."

"Okay, I'll come right away." Zhang Tan said, calling Xiao Bai to have dinner with him.

"Ahahahaha~~~" Xiaobai was still grinning while holding the tablet, and her uncle Bai Jianping didn't like it, "You're grinning like a fool."

Xiaobai put away the tablet and glared at Bai Jianping: "Uncle, you're the fool."

"Don't keep staring at the computer, you'll go blind."

"╭(╯^╰)╮~My eyes are big."

"Go eat Mangmang, today we have your favorite chestnut roast chicken for lunch."

Xiaobai laughed when she heard it, and followed the old man with a hop.

The kid had a small appetite and ate fast, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks in a short while, and walked around with her phone hanging around her neck.

She saw the actor who had been filming before, who was a villain in the play and beat people fiercely.

When Xiaobai saw the other party, she was stunned immediately, pretended not to see him, and quietly took a detour.

She strolled to Bai Jianping again. Bai Jianping ate last after arranging for everyone to eat.

He sat in the middle of the big barrels filled with cooked food. He was eating a bowl of food piled high and enjoying it.

Xiaobai stood in front of him, raised her phone and started taking pictures again.

Bai Jianping rolled his eyes at her, said "treasure", and ignored her.

The new clothes Zhang Tan bought in the morning were delivered in the evening.

City-wide delivery, very fast.

In the living room, Xiaobai and Xier were watching the tablet. Zhang Tan took the package upstairs, but heard Xier say: "What is this? What is this? Hiahiahia, let me play with it~~"

"Wait, wait, Xiwawa, let sister play with it for a while and then give it to you."

Zhang Tan came behind them and looked over. Wow, Xiaobai was playing games! In the game of big fish eating small fish, the more you eat, the bigger you grow. If you don't grow fast enough, you may be eaten by a bigger fish.

Xiaobai skillfully manipulates the big fish in the game, very flexibly, and it seems that this is not the first time for the child to play, but Zhang Tan doesn't know.

"Ahem~~"

Hearing Zhang Tan cough, Xiaobai didn't even look at it, and immediately stuffed the tablet into Xier's arms, pretending to be innocent.

"hiahia~" Xier didn't care whether her godfather came or not, or whether he was taking the blame. She happily held the computer and continued to play with Xiaobai, but her skills and awareness were far inferior to Xiaobai. After a while, she encountered a big shark and was eaten by the shark in one bite, and she immediately cried non-stop.

"Xiaobai, come here and try on the clothes." Zhang Tan called Xiaobai.

"What clothes?"

"I bought them for you."

Xier put down the tablet and curiously came over.
