Chapter 427 Invitation to Sing
"Long time no see, you look handsome again."
Xu Lei sat in front of Zhang Binyan's desk. On the surface, he was a guest, but he felt like they were equals.
When did the relationship between these two become so good? When they were filming the show before, weren't they enemies and neither of them would give in to the other?
"Old class teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Now was not the time to reminisce about the past. Zhang Binyan asked someone to call him to the office, and he didn't know why he was looking for him.
"Nothing serious, Director Xu came to the school specially and said he wanted to see you." Zhang Binyan glanced at Xu Lei and explained, "It won't interfere with your business during the break, so I called you over."
Xu Lei nodded. It was true that he had something to do today to find Pu Tong. The reason why he came to find Zhang Binyan first was that the school had its own rules. He had to talk to the head teacher about looking for a classmate in someone else's class.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sour. He had unknowingly become so rule-abiding... The experience some time ago did make him mature a lot.
"Then Director Xu is looking for me?"
Pu Tong was a little surprised. Xu Lei's co-rental with the school has ended. If he wants to find him now, he can just call him. Why bother to go there?
Moreover, he was a little curious about what Director Xu wanted to find him for.
"I want to ask you for a song..." Xu Lei smiled and said, "The new program needs a theme song."
The new program he mentioned was naturally the idea of "Where Are We Going, Dad" that Pu Tong had provided him. He had been preparing for it for a long time. Now the program plan is almost ready, and the celebrity parents have been contacted. Before the filming starts, the only thing missing is a theme song.
For the program idea provided by Pu Tong, of course he should be the one to find him for the theme song. The creator can definitely provide the most authentic song that fits the theme.
Xu Lei originally wanted to call him directly to invite him for a song, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate...
First of all, it's a question of sincerity. Let's not talk about Pu Tong's current status. This guy's main theme for composing songs is casual. No matter who it is or how much money it costs, it won't work. If you want to cooperate with him, sincerity is the most important thing.
This is how people in the circle evaluate Pu Tong now: If you are sincere, you won’t ask for money; if you are not sincere enough, you will pay a fortune.
Many people who were planning to spend a lot of money to ask Pu Tong to sing songs have changed their plans. The best way is to have a good relationship with this guy.
Even if he has a friendship with Pu Tong, it is reasonable for him to come in person. Whether it succeeds or not, it is his sincerity.
What’s more, they are also called master and apprentice... Although there is no master-apprentice relationship, there is a master-apprentice relationship. As a disciple, he has to come in person to ask the teacher for help?
When Xu Lei thought of this, he smiled bitterly. This matter might become a black history of his life.
"Invite a song?"
Pu Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Binyan beside him. Isn’t their class teacher the most disgusted with students doing these things instead of doing their homework? How could Xu Lei be indifferent when he asked him to cooperate in front of him!
Could it be that these two people really developed feelings for each other?
"Why are you looking at me? As long as it doesn't affect your studies, it's your freedom." Zhang Binyan glanced at Xu Lei, "I heard that you proposed the program, you should also have the right to choose."
No matter what, a teacher is just a teacher. If he wants to get involved in everything, it's too much. Pu Tong is mature and stable, and he must be able to make reasonable judgments.
For Zhang Binyan, it's quite good that Xu Lei came to him, the head teacher, to communicate before Pu Tong. After all, Xu Lei used to be a person who looked up to others, but now he has learned to abide by the rules and respect others.
Only when you are a teacher can you know how difficult it is to correct your mistakes, and he doesn't need to embarrass others.
"It doesn't affect it. The program is still in preparation. Just record the songs when you have time on the weekend." Xu Lei continued: "Of course, if you don't have time, I won't force it..."
If it were three months ago, Pu Tong would never believe that the polite guy in front of him was Xu Lei. It can only be said that people will become more mature only after suffering losses, which has nothing to do with age.
"It's okay. It's the theme song of Where Are We Going, Dad? It's not difficult."
The theme song of this variety show is so catchy that he still remembers it clearly. Many people have heard the lyrics "Dad, Dad, where are we going" even if they haven't watched the show.
If it was other commercial cooperation, Pu Tong might not accept it, but after all, it was his own idea. For the originality of the show, it seems not bad to bring out this song!
Xu Lei nodded when he heard it, and the corners of his mouth were smiling uncontrollably. Although Pu Tong has many advantages, the only thing that everyone recognizes is his strength in composing songs. With his song as the theme song, this parent-child program will definitely not be bad.
"Director Xu, don't be too happy too early. The quality of the theme song is only temporary. If you want the show to be popular, the quality must be excellent."
The quality of the program is king, don't do those fancy things!
Zhang Binyan hummed a few words suddenly, although in a sarcastic tone, but it was obviously reminding Xu Lei not to lose sight of the big picture.
"Teacher Zhang is right. Last semester, my program delayed your class's study. You can't fall behind this semester."
You can blame the program for your class's poor performance last semester, but who can you blame if it's still not good this semester?
Xu Lei's words have the same purpose. Although it is also a subtle criticism of Zhang Binyan's achievements as a class teacher, it is also a reminder to him.
These two people are amazing. They are quarreling with each other and they have developed feelings for each other, right?
Pu Tong sighed secretly. If a fujoshi comes, won't he go crazy on the spot?
"Then you guys chat first. I'll go back to class?"
He had made a note of the theme song for "Where Are We Going, Dad?" He could easily find some time to come up with it. He didn't want to listen to the two people's arguing, so he might as well leave first.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Binyan called him and took out a piece of paper with good texture from his desk pocket. It looked like a certificate.
Xu Lei, who was standing by, glanced at it and noticed the big words "Principal Scholarship" on it.
The Principal Scholarship is the highest level scholarship set by the school, which aims to select campus role models and commend outstanding students.
Although the Principal Scholarship in high school is not comparable to that in college, it is definitely a highlight on a student's resume.
"For me?"
Pu Tong was stunned for a moment. Doesn't it need to be selected? Wouldn't it be bad to give it to him directly?
"Just know it in your mind." Zhang Binyan coughed twice, "I know you don't need this little money, but this is also the school's recognition of you."
Pu Tong's contribution to their school is extraordinary. His appearance amazed everyone and brought unprecedented attention to their school. Even this year's enrollment rate has increased by several percentage points.
As the face of their school, what's wrong with moving an award? What's more, this guy is also very good at studying and has good character. Even if he is selected normally, he is likely to win the award. There is nothing wrong with giving it to him directly.
Zhang Binyan handed him the certificate with mixed feelings.
Originally, the school was going to give him this award directly at the beginning of the school year, but because Pu Tong suddenly wrote a script for the Normal University Affiliated High School to learn and promote it, this certificate was temporarily shelved.
There will always be some people in the leadership who have nothing to do and question this and that, and there is nothing we can do about it.
But at the opening ceremony this time, Pu Tong broke the doubts and became the face of No. 1 Middle School again with his excellent performance. Later, he appeared directly on CCTV programs. Who can still say that he is not right?
Seeing that the group of old teachers in the school did not say a word when asked during the meeting, Zhang Binyan was relieved.
It's not too late now. This kid is still the light of their school. If not him, who else should the scholarship be given to!
Pu Tong took over the principal's scholarship certificate and felt that this honor was a bit heavy. Whether before or now, this is the first time he has been commended by the school.
For him, as a student, this honor is more worthy of celebration than being on CCTV.
"Thank you, teacher!"
He bowed to Zhang Binyan with a very sincere attitude.
"Go, keep working hard!"
Zhang Binyan smiled with rare satisfaction, and he suddenly understood this kid a little.
He would not be proud of his achievements, but would be excited for the small steps he took, because he knew what he really had.
