“…… Science and technology are becoming more and more developed, and it is already remarkable to have a black and white TV in a courtyard in the past, but now not only the TV is getting bigger and bigger, but computers and mobile phones are also becoming more and more popular, and even I, an old man in my seventies and eighties, is not exempt from vulgarity. You see, my granddaughter bought it for me—"

Qin Zhimao took out an OVO smartphone from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yize.

"Grandpa!"

Qin Wandi was half helpless and half embarrassed, and quickly took the mobile phone from her grandfather's hand, stuffed it back into his pocket, and asked, "Put the mobile phone away, don't take it out if you don't use it." ”

Qin Zhimao continued: "You said that I am a lot old, where will I use your young people's things? I just like the old mobile phone, the function is simple, easy to operate, but now it is all the bells and whistles, I can't understand it......"

The reason why people become chattering is either because they have someone they want to care about, or because they are at a certain age.

Qin Zhimao talked around for a long time, and finally returned to the topic: "...... I heard Director Xia say that the new media has been very strong recently, and any movie, TV, and variety show can be watched on the Internet in the future. There are more and more programs of all kinds, but there are fewer and fewer programs to watch. ”

He paused and continued: "Take the show you and Wandi participated in, men and women eat and live together for a month, what's the point of making such a show? We used to do shows and pay attention to edutainment, but now it's all about entertainment for fun's sake. ”

"I always emphasize to Director Xia that as media people and TV people, we must shoulder the responsibility of guiding the public, we must have a foundation, have persistence, and make meaningful programs, not money-making programs...... "Poetry Conference" is very good, in this impetuous era, and young people like you who are willing to calm down, very good, very good."

Qin Zhimao didn't know that "Heartbeat Signal" was also written by Shen Yize, and bluntly said that this show was meaningless, so Shen Yize could only show an embarrassed but polite smile.

During the chat, Shen Yize learned that after Qin Zhimao retired, he and his wife jointly established a public welfare fund, the Jiangnan Bauhinia Music Foundation, which has long been committed to activities such as "music public welfare into the campus" and "music public welfare in the countryside", aiming to effectively improve the aesthetic and humanistic qualities of students and villagers.

He remembered that during the recording of the show, Qin Wandi would occasionally go out to participate in public welfare performances, and it seemed that he was attending the activities of the foundation.

Qin Zhimao sighed: "Now it is not easy to do public welfare, it is not easy to raise funds, it is even more difficult to invite people, there is no applause for doing well, and it is really thankless to suffer criticism if you do not do well." ”

Shen Yize agreed: "Indeed, it is not difficult to do public welfare performances, but the difficult thing is to go long. If you can form your own brand like Egret Line, it should be much smoother. ”

Egret is a well-known environmental protection public welfare project in China, and it is also the winning project of the national "Annual Quality Public Welfare Award" three years ago.

Qin Zhimao sighed and said, "How easy is it to form your own brand? Music performances are relatively niche projects compared to environmental protection, and the state has no relevant support policies, so it is difficult to attract the public's attention. ”

Shen Yize said euphemistically: "There is a saying that good wine is afraid of deep alleys." Things should be done in a down-to-earth manner, and necessary publicity is also indispensable, especially at a time when information is updated so quickly. The success of Egret was not only due to the borrowing of the country's general policy, but also due to the overwhelming propaganda offensive that year. ”

Qin Zhimao sighed: "You have some truth in what you said, but the scale of our Bauhinia is too small, the funds and manpower are insufficient, and we have done our best to hold activities, and we really can't afford to do any publicity." ”

Shen Yize immediately said: "Public welfare and charity are also what I want to do, if you can trust me, you may wish to hand over the relevant matters to our company's agent, whether it is funds or manpower, we can provide it." ”

Qin Zhimao smiled and said: "You are a talent favored by Director Xia, and you are a friend of Wandi, so I can naturally trust it." I don't know how to do it, this old man, I don't understand, you can talk to Wandi - Wandi, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"Huh?" Qin Wandi was stunned, "Can I refuse?" ”

"No, you can't!" Qin Zhimao straightened his face, "You have been running around the world all these years, when did your father and I take care of you?" You're not too young, even if you don't want to get a serious job, you should do something serious. This foundation was originally established in your name, and sooner or later it will be handed over to you, so you should familiarize yourself with it now, shouldn't you? ”

"Okay."

Qin Wandi reluctantly agreed.

After the birthday banquet, Xia Rongsheng resigned from everyone, and Qin Zhimao and other old friends found another quiet place to have a long talk.

Xia Huichang sincerely invited everyone to visit the manor and leave after dinner.

Except for a few who had to leave in a hurry, everyone else was willing to sell Xia Huichang a face.

Xiushui Manor is built in antiquity, it has the charm of the garden of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the promenade between the trees is looming, the stone path is winding, there are several ponds, there are hills undulating, birds are singing everywhere, the fragrance of flowers is bursting, the scenery is not unpleasant.

Qin Wandi suddenly said: "Don't take my grandfather's words to heart. The one he believes in is outdated, and today's young people want to relax when they watch the show. Entertainment for the sake of entertainment is what entertainment should look like in this era. ”

Shen Yize naturally didn't go to his heart.

In the era when Qin Zhimao lived, TV was still a luxury, not to mention variety shows with obvious educational implications, even if the underground battles were played every day, the audience could watch them with relish.

At that time, there was no choice, so the audience could only watch what the TV station broadcasts. After the popularization of TV and the stardom of TV stations, internal competition in the industry will slowly form, and the audience will naturally vote with their feet.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the Internet, in the face of the impact of new media, TV stations should follow the rules of the market and be guided by the preferences of the audience. Knowing that the audience loves to watch pure entertainment programs, but still moves against the trend, isn't it unpleasant?

If you want to live, you have to eat, and TV is no exception. Even if it's a central mother, the programs with poor ratings and mediocre response still wield a knife from the palace, are those castrated programs meaningless?

Make sense.

But a lot of times, life doesn't need to be that meaningful.

He smiled and said, "Don't forget that I am a businessman, not a media person, and not a TV person." I don't have such a lofty sense of responsibility, everything I do, whether it's "Poetry Conference" or "Heartbeat Signal", is just for profit. ”

Qin Wandi followed his words and asked, "Then are you doing public welfare also for profit?" ”

This question was quite sharp, and Shen Yize replied without changing his face: "Of course." For the company, doing public welfare is also a way to enhance visibility and create a positive image, not to mention, this foundation was founded by the former director of Jiangnan Terrace, which is also a personal favor. ”

"Teacher Shen is very frank."

Qin Wandi didn't expect him to be so open and honest, and she couldn't help but look sideways.

Shen Yize said casually: "I treat you as a friend, so I won't hide it from you." ”

said so, in fact, because he knew that even if he was not open and honest, Qin Wandi could think that it was better to admit it generously than to be false and wronged.

Qin Wandi smiled noncommittally, she understood that the so-called not hiding from her friend was just his words, so she didn't take it too seriously.

"Do you have any plans?"

She asked.

Shen Yize shook his head: "Not for the time being, I'll go back and make a plan, and I'll discuss it with you." ”

He is not worried, the artist's publicity is done every day, in this regard, his team is professional enough, and it is not easy to come up with a plan?

……

"Thank you, thank you!"

It was getting late, Yang Jiuan put away his photographic equipment and thanked the uncle who was fishing by the fence on the Yijiang River.

"Stop shooting? I haven't caught a fish yet! ”

The uncle was obviously a little unwilling, and when he agreed to this beautiful girl's request to shoot at first, he was full of thoughts about showing his hand in front of the camera, but an afternoon passed, and he was stunned that he didn't catch a fish.

"No need." Yang Jiuan explained, "I just want to record your fishing process, it is good to catch a fish, it doesn't matter if you don't catch it, my goal has been achieved." ”

The uncle said "oh", and asked with a puzzled face: "What's the use of you shooting this?" ”

"For practice, accumulate some material by the way. Thank you, uncle, I'm leaving! ”

Yang Jiuan put on his camera bag and waved goodbye to his uncle.

Back at home, turn on the computer, turn on the two persimmons and wash the two persimmons - the persimmons brought back from the farm are already ripe, and on every night without a date, this is her dinner.

"Hmm~ so sweet!"

She nibbled on a crispy persimmon and muttered to herself as she imported the footage she had taken during the afternoon into a folder called "Project 365 (2021)".

Project 365, which is a shooting plan she has set for herself, to shoot at least one photo or one video every day.

In foreign countries, this kind of shooting is quite popular, and she found that some classmates played like this during her study abroad, so she stole teachers to learn art, and also formulated such a plan to motivate herself to create, which is also a kind of photography practice.

Her mentor Halsman once said something that impressed her very well: "I'm not your teacher, shooting is." ”

Whether it's a photographer or a director, the best way to improve your level and hone your skills is to shoot, keep shooting, use DV if you don't have a camera, use a mobile phone if you don't have DV, practice can bring out the truth.

originally thought that this Saturday would be fine, so she took him as the main body to shoot his day, but the day did not meet people's wishes, so she had to go out on the street to photograph passers-by.

It's good to shoot him moving tomorrow.

She thought to herself, and suddenly "Zizi" twice, and then the bell rang.

It's my mother Fang Qiong.

She picked up, "Hey, Mom?" ”

"What are you doing?"

Yang Jiuan looked at the persimmon in his hand and said, "Eat." ”

The other party immediately asked, "With your boyfriend?" ”

Fang Qiong knew about her recording of the show, and her mother called to inquire about the situation on the day the recording ended, but Yang Jiuan did not hide it, and said it in 1510.

"No, I'm alone."

"He won't accompany you today and Saturday?"

"He's got something to do."

Yang Jiuan didn't want to go into details, so he diverted his words and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I'm eating, I'm at your aunt's house, let's video!"

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Yang Jiuan frowned slightly.

Mom asked about her boyfriend in front of her aunt, and obviously, her singleness had been shaken out.

Is...... Obviously, I told you thousands of instructions, and I won't spread it to the outside world first......

Once the aunt knows, it is about the same as the whole family knows.

Damn!

As soon as she thought about it, she felt her scalp tingle and couldn't sit still.

Soon received a video request from my mother.

The camera rotated, sweeping over the aunt, uncle, cousin and cousin-in-law in turn, Yang Jiuan greeted one by one, although he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he was extremely well-behaved.

The aunt asked in dialect: "Sister An, your mother said that you were on the show, what kind of show?" And thou shalt not tell us, so that we may search and see! ”

Before Yang Jiu'an could speak, his mother took the lead to explain: ""Heartbeat Signal", a show about love, has just finished filming, and it will only be broadcast in January next year!" ”

My cousin helped on the side: "This show is very popular, and the male guests are very handsome!" ”

The aunt asked, "What's it called?" I don't think I've seen ......."

My cousin said: ""Heartbeat Signal", you haven't watched it normally, this show is for young people, you are more suitable to watch "Blind Date and Love". ”

The aunt said "oh" and said to Yang Jiu'an: "Do you have any photos of your boyfriend?" Send a few to the family group! ”

She's crazy to be in the family group!

"I can't send it yet, I signed a confidentiality agreement with the program team, and I need to keep it secret until the program is finished. You just know, don't talk about it. ”

"Don't worry, don't say it!"

The aunt patted her chest and assured her, but Yang Jiuan didn't believe it at all. With her understanding of her aunt, within three days, I am afraid that even the doorman of the community will know about this matter.

Fang Qiong euphemistically proposed: "I haven't taken my annual leave this year, why don't I take a leave of absence and go to Jiangnan to visit you after a while?" ”

"Mom!"

What is visiting her, it is clearly visiting him!

Yang Jiuan was very panicked, she knew that her mother could really do it, so she hurriedly stopped: "Mom, don't be like this, we have just started, don't scare people." ”

Fang Qiong thought about it for a while, and said differently: "Otherwise, you find a time to bring him to Shudu to play, well, it's New Year's Day, how about it?" ”

"Mom-"

Yang Jiuan still wanted to refuse, but Fang Qiong simply interrupted neatly: "Isn't it normal for you to take your boyfriend to visit your hometown?" It's decided, if you don't come back on New Year's Day, I can only pass. ”

“…… All right. ”

Compared with her mother's field trip to Jiangnan, she was willing to take it back by herself.

She knew that her mother was worried that she would be deceived if she had never been in love, and wanted to check for her.

It's just that...... It's too early for New Year's Day!

It's like she's in a hurry!

He knew that he was not allowed to fly into the sky!

Well, you can't tell him directly, you can't make him so proud.

Yang Jiuan made up his mind.

The night is getting deeper.

I sent him several messages before taking a shower, but I still didn't receive a reply when I came out of the shower.

In the past, it was a second reply to send him messages, but today it was suddenly delayed for so long, although I knew that it was a serious matter, I was inevitably disappointed.

Look at the time, it's close to twelve o'clock.

She got into the bed and was about to go to bed, when suddenly the familiar prelude and main song sounded:

"Sparrows outside the window, mouthing on telephone poles......"

She picked it up immediately, and as soon as she connected, she heard his excited shout from the other end of the phone:

"An An, I want to kill you!"
