In San Francisco, the director of New York TV was standing in front of Chu Lingyun with the head of production.

They have received the script according to the boss's request, these are the three best written in their opinion, and they specially brought it to the boss for review, and if there is one that they like, they will directly choose one and let the screenwriter continue to write it, and they will prepare for filming.

This TV series is mainly filmed indoors and yards, the venue has been found, the actors are being trained, and now it is mainly the script, the script is the soul of a play, the director is the brain, the actor is the body, there is no soul, only the flesh is the walking dead, no one likes it in this way, whether it is a movie or a TV series.

In the same way, if there is only a soul and no body, the audience will not be able to understand it at all, or will not be able to understand the artistic conception in it.

Three script outlines were placed in front of Chu Lingyun.

Chu Lingyun watched slowly, the script written in English was different from Chinese, he could understand it, what he was going to make this time was not a literary film, he didn't need to tell any big truths, just be happy.

Three scripts, one of which made Chu Lingyun quite satisfied.

At least the screenwriter understood his request, and there was a lot of humor in it.

"It's okay, but the name needs to be changed."

Chu Lingyun glanced at the name, then shook his head, the script is well written, but the name is not good.

"The Joy of Family"

"Boss, what do you think would be a good name?"

The director asked carefully, Chu Lingyun didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Family troubles." ”

Happiness was changed to trouble, and only these two words were changed.

The director and the production minister were stunned, obviously it's a family comedy, but change it to annoyance?

Soon, the director's eyes lit up, he could be the director of New York, and he had a certain ability, and he understood what Chu Lingyun meant at this time.

Annoyance sounds bad, but it's a neutral word.

Naturally, no one likes the usual troubles, and they all want to throw them out, but some troubles can be liked, such as happy troubles, happy troubles, small love troubles, and so on.

These worries add to the joy of life.

The boss is the boss, the artistic conception is much higher than theirs, and "The Happiness of the Family" was changed to "The Troubles of the Family", which is indeed more attractive.

"Boss, it's still you smart, this name is better changed."

The director stretched out his thumb and patted a sycophant, Chu Lingyun smiled: "Let him continue to write, write and shoot at the same time, it will be released in a month at most, if it really can't be finished, it will be broadcast while filming." ”

Chu Lingyun will not give this TV series too long to prepare, this is only the first one, and there will be more suitable TV series in the future.

Let them shoot slowly.

TV dramas are the best weapon to increase ratings.

"Yes, boss, don't worry, it will definitely be broadcast in a month."

The director nodded hurriedly, and he and the production director hurried to the airport, this time to report on the purpose, and to implement these tasks after returning.

Now they are very confident, after all, they have now become the first, and they are the second and third existences.

The biggest benefit of the viewership boost is that their advertising dollars have increased a lot.

They're definitely going to get more money this year.

It's almost November now, and the show will be finished at the end of the year, and as long as the ratings can be improved, their bonuses will increase.

The people at the TV station are very motivated right now.

Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and after explaining to them, Chu Lingyun didn't ask much, and waited for a month to see the results.

With the right actors and a good script, there's no reason why the ratings can't go up.

In Tokyo, the director is looking for Kubo with a dozen or so people from the stone factory.

They found the slum where Kubo later lived, but unfortunately, even the landlord didn't know where Kubo had moved.

The landlord only knew that the house had not expired, and the Kubo family did not live in it, and did not ask where it had gone.

"Director, what are we going to do?"

The other workers in the stone factory panicked, the factory could be sold at any time, and if they couldn't stop it, they would definitely change to a new boss.

At that time, not only will their salaries drop sharply, but their jobs will become worse in the future.

And even if their salaries are lowered, some of them will have to leave and find new jobs.

It is clear that the new boss has his own workers, and it is impossible to keep them all.

The supervisor, in particular, has the highest salary and prestige, and the new boss will never leave him to cause trouble for himself.

"When we go to the original factory, we ask the boss where he is."

The supervisor was the most anxious, gritted his teeth, couldn't find Kubo, and the factory director ignored them, and didn't even tell them who the boss was, there was no way, they had to find it themselves.

Finding the boss and convincing the boss is their last hope.

Genjin Shrine Headquarters, the main body of the two four-story office buildings has been built, and the auditorium on the second floor is also fast, don't look at the auditorium is only on the second floor, but because of the different floor heights and architectural patterns, the construction here is the slowest.

Mainly, there is a basement under the auditorium, which is said to be two floors, but in fact it is three.

This makes it more difficult to build.

"Mizushiro-sama."

This time they were lucky, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Mizujo Jun pointing at the gate, and the director immediately trotted all the way and shouted in surprise.

The main project is progressing very quickly, and the surrounding area cannot be delayed, and the headquarters of the Yuan Shrine must have a magnificent gate, and Mizushiro Jun is telling the designer his idea, this gate must be built the best.

To be the most beautiful and imposing gate in all of Tokyo.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the dozen or so people coming, Mizujo Jun's eyebrows jumped, he had been here before, and the workers recognized him, but he didn't remember these ordinary workers.

"We are the workers of the original stone factory here, you later moved the factory, we have been working hard, can you not sell the factory?"

They don't know about Ishihara, and they don't know the relationship between Mizushiro Jun and Ishihara.

In their eyes, it was Mizujo Jun who paid for the factory at that time, even if he was not the boss, he was the closest person to the boss, and it was right to look for him.

"Stone factory?"

Mizushiro Jun didn't think about the stone factory that he ignored for a while, he didn't pay attention to it at all, Ishihara Heng said that he wanted to sell it, he just gave the order, and he didn't go there.

Some worn-out equipment and some raw materials are not worth a few dollars at all.

"Yes, that's us."

The supervisor looked at Mizushiro with anticipation, as long as Mizushiro Jun wanted, they could continue to work without worrying about unemployment.

"It has nothing to do with you whether you sell it or not."

Mizushiro Jun waved his hand, he didn't have time to argue with these people, turned around and asked the designer, "Where did we talk about just now?" ”

"You said there should be a Chinese element in it."

"That's right, it's a Chinese element, and it's best to put that kind of stone lion at the door, the bigger the better."

Mizushiro Jun did not forget that Ishihara is now following the Chinese, and these elements must be added.

"Mizushiro-sama ......"

"Get rid of them."

Mizujo Jun's face tightened, he had already made it clear that it had nothing to do with them, and these people actually came to disturb him.

There are not many people around him, but this is a construction site, there are a lot of workers, and the boss of the construction company is here, and he quickly called his own people to blow all the people in the stone factory away, so as to prevent them from continuing to disturb the guidance of the Minister of Shuicheng.

This project is very important to him, these people are so hateful.

"Director, what are we going to do?"

After being kicked out, everyone panicked, and people didn't want to listen to them, and insisted on selling the factory, and they were about to lose their jobs.

"Go back, let's go find Kubo."

The director gritted his teeth, only Kubo knew the boss, and he remembered that when he first came to buy the factory, although it was paid by Jun Mizushiro, he was obviously followed by a more powerful person.

The man had a chat with Kubo alone, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.

As long as Kubo can help them keep their jobs, they are willing to lend them money.

He didn't know how much Kubo wanted to borrow, even if it was 10,000 yen.

Anyway, there are a lot of them, and each person can make up enough for a little.

The group returned to the slum and asked them separately from house to house, which really allowed them to find some clues.

It is likely that Kubo moved to the Nagahama side, and someone asked about it, and Kubo's wife mentioned it when she moved that it was more convenient to buy groceries on the Nagahama side.

Naohama is not far away, and the houses there are much better than here, even better than where Kubo lived before.

Isn't it that Kubo has no money, how did he move there?

They didn't figure it out, but they had to find someone, and the group came to Shanghama's side to inquire separately, and the strength of the people was great, and they really found a new place for Kubo to move.

When they came to the door of Kubo's house, everyone was stunned again.

It's a detached house, and the place is much bigger than before, and the rent for a house like this is basically more than 1,500 yen, so it's a good house for them, so how can Kubo live in such a place?

The director knocked on the door, and Yoko quickly opened a crack in the door and looked outside.

"Sister-in-law, remember me, I'm Daisuke, Daisuke Mizutani."

Someone saw Yoko and hurriedly said, Yoko Kubo recognized them as former colleagues of her own man, but thinking that Kubo had made such a big sacrifice for them and borrowed money, these people actually put on a face, and some people mocked, Yoko's face immediately pulled down.

"What are you doing here?"

Yoko didn't open the door, and talked to them through the door, and the supervisor hurriedly said: "Kubo knows the owner of our factory, we want to ask Kubo to help us talk to the boss, don't sell the factory, doesn't he want to borrow money, we have some together, we can lend it to you." ”

"No need, you can go, he can't help you."

Yoko shook her head, and closed the door after speaking, she knew best what was going on, it was her own man who went back, and Ishihara Heng was going to sell the factory.

The place where they live is not worth mentioning to Ishihara at all.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, open the door."

Daisuke hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door again, several people knocked together, and Yoko opened the crack in the door again: "I said that Kubo can't help you, don't come to him again, and don't bother us again, otherwise I will call the police." ”

Yoko is very confident now, his own man is doing things with Ishihara Hiroshi, Kubo has been going out early and returning late these days, and he seems very tired, but he can see that the man from the family is very full now.

In the past few days, Kubo is looking for a training venue, and there is a lot of need for fifty people, mainly to have dormitories, and classrooms can be vacated at will.

And to have a yard, in a remote location, there are no other people around.

In order to quickly find the right place, Kubo made a special application, and Mizushiro Jun agreed that he would buy a car first.

It's easy to get things done with a car.

Yoko was even happier to see her man driving back, how long has she been with Ishihara Heng, and she even has a car?

In order to save money, Kubo deliberately bought an old car.

But old cars are also cars, much stronger than bicycles.

"Director, what should I do?"

When the others saw that Yoko didn't open the door and said they were going to call the police, they all looked at the supervisor.

"We're waiting here, Kubo shouldn't be at home, and even if he is, we'll have to wait until he comes out."

The director really can't help it, Mizushiro Jun rejects them, and now all their hopes are in Kubo's body, and they must see the talent.

After waiting for more than two hours, Kubo finally drove back home.

When he was looking for a place, he was not idle, and he deliberately paid people to help him inquire about some young people with good memory, and he had to be strong and have good eyes.

Ishihara asked him to train as an agent, not an ordinary person.

He had recruited according to the standards of agents of the past, and now he had found five.

Chu Lingyun didn't make it clear to him, in fact, there is no need to be so strict, this time it is commercial espionage, and some conditions can be relaxed, but these people may have other roles in the future, and it is not wrong for Kubo to be a little more demanding.

Kubo also asked people to help inquire about Chen Zhanli in China.

It costs money to do all these things, but fortunately, he has the money now, so he won't be unable to pay for the information.

"Look, that's Kubo?"

When Kubo got out of the car and was wearing a brand new suit, everyone was stunned.

The previous landlord said that Kubo couldn't afford to rent a poor house, so why do you live in such a good place now and drive a car?

What exactly did he do to make a fortune?

"Kubo, it's great that you're back."

The director walked over first, smiling, Kubo frowned when he saw them, and he couldn't forget the faces of these people when he went to borrow money.

"Why are you here?"

Kubo asked unhappily, and the supervisor immediately said: "Our new boss is going to sell the factory again, you know the boss, can you help us intercede, don't sell the factory, we must work hard to make the boss make money, you wanted to borrow money before, we have it now, how much do you need." ”

"No need, the boss wants to sell the factory, I can't help you."

Kubo shook his head, he knew best what it was like to sell the factory, and these people couldn't see Ishihara.

Don't talk about them, even if he wants to see Ishihara Heng, it's difficult, and now it's Mizushiro Jun who sends him a message.

"Kubo, colleague, you can help us, you must know the boss and can talk."

"I'm sorry, I can't help with that."

Kubo shook his head again, and after saying that, he took his bag back home, and once inside, he closed the door, ignoring the people.

This accommodation has a telephone, and if they dare to do anything, Kubo can always call the police.

Now Kubo's job is important, and the phone is a necessity.

Kubo's failure to help is tantamount to cutting off their last glimmer of hope, it is already dark, they are just ordinary workers, and they dare not make trouble here.

For them, the people who live here are rich.

Kubo was driving a car again, and they didn't dare to make any moves.

"Let's go back first, and then we'll figure out a way."

The supervisor sighed, he really couldn't understand why the boss suddenly wanted to sell the factory, if he wanted to sell, why did he pay them wages and move the factory away?

Kubo had been at the attic window, secretly observing the situation outside.

Seeing them leave, Kubo breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, the new director quickly signed a contract with the buyer to sell the stone factory, and these people came to work only to know that the factory had changed hands.

It's okay that they didn't look for Mizushiro Jun yesterday, and as soon as they did, Mizushiro Jun immediately notified the factory director to dispose of it immediately, regardless of the price.

Before, there was just no price negotiation, and Mizujo Jun didn't ask at all, because the factory director wanted to fight for more benefits.

Now that they've found Mizushiro, the factory was sold faster.

The new boss gave them a very low salary, especially the supervisor, who was the highest, the previous monthly salary of three thousand, now only five hundred.

The supervisor resigned on the spot.

The new boss was originally forcing him to go, and the boss was more satisfied when he resigned.

Kubo, on the other hand, is hiring people at an accelerated pace.

Even if he accelerates, he doesn't want to meet the standard, he would rather lack than abuse, he knows Ishihara Heng's strictness, and if he doesn't take his job seriously, he won't be able to do this job for a long time, and it won't take much time to fight back to the prototype.

After enough hard life, he didn't want to go back to his previous embarrassment.

Time passed slowly, and it was November.

Tan Wenbo waited in Guangzhou for so long, and finally made a move, arresting more than 300 Guodang sleeper agents at one time, 12 old agents, and more than 500 people through them, which can be said to have achieved a big victory.

So many people were arrested, and the angry Qi Limin scolded directly, and almost didn't call the person in charge back to punish.

They were caught before they could do anything, wasting a lot of money and energy, and posing a great danger to the other undercover agents.

Kubo has recruited 50 people and is personally training them.

According to their investigation, Chen Zhanli did not evacuate when Shanghai was liberated, most of the people at the Shanghai station of the Secret Bureau were arrested, and some people suspected that Chen Zhanli was a hidden agent of the Red Party.

But he never appeared, and some say he died.

This result made Kubo stunned again.

Chen Zhanli is a member of the Guo Party, he has personally verified it, why has he become a red party now?

Three-sided agents?

Someone like him would be a Red Party?

Saying that he is an agent of the fruit party, Kubo can still accept it a little, and there is no way to accept it, which is true.

It can be said that he is a red party, and Kubo can't believe it at all.

What does he look like about the Reds?

However, Kubo understands that Chen Zhanli has a strong deception, which may not be impossible.

Unable to find anyone, Kubo had no choice but to give up and do it himself.

On November 10, New York TV began advertising a new drama "Family Troubles," which will air at 8 p.m. and will have two episodes a day.

Not only New York TV, but other TV stations under Chu Lingyun will broadcast together in three days.

That is, other TV stations broadcast only three days later than New York.

The broadcast time is the eighteenth, and it is Friday, to see if we can rush the ratings first.

At present, they have filmed forty episodes, and they are hurrying to shoot the follow-up broadcast, even if they don't finish filming, there won't be much left.

In the best hospital in San Francisco, Chu Yuan walked back and forth.

Chu Ya was finally going to give birth, a little later than the expected delivery date, and in the end, Chu Ya couldn't stay at home all the time, and was forcibly sent to the hospital by Chu Lingyun when the due date was approaching, and as a result, her child was born several days later than expected.

Chu Yuan's parents, Chu Lingyun's family, Shen Hanwen, Liu Shukui, Loach and Lily were all there, all waiting outside the delivery room.

"Wow."

Finally, the cry of a baby was heard inside, and everyone got up instantly.

After a while, the doctor walked out.

"Congratulations, the birth of the child went well."

When the doctor came out, he smiled and said that the two mothers wanted to enter the delivery room directly, but were stopped by the doctor.

At this time, they are not allowed to go in, and after a while, Chu Ya and the child will be sent to the ward.

"Mom, don't rush this moment."

Chu Lingyun stepped forward and persuaded, it's good if it goes well, this is the new life of their family, the same age as New China.

As long as he grows up well, he will definitely be able to see the strength of New China.

The efforts of our ancestors are to make our descendants not like them to live a hard life and be bullied by others, the efforts of our ancestors are not in vain, and the future generations of Chinese people live very well.

"That's it, don't worry about it."

Chu Yuanchen came over to persuade, but unfortunately he held his wife's hand and betrayed his nervous mood.

"Thank you, doctor."

Chu Yuan hurriedly went to deliver the red envelope, and the doctor smiled and put the red package into his pocket.

Don't think that the Americans don't do this, that's in the future, and they don't dare to come openly.

Chu Ya and the child were finally sent out, Chu Yuan had been waiting, and he stepped forward to hold his hand tightly, He Wanrong leaned over to the other side and asked with concern.

Chu Ya had a tired face on her face, but she kept smiling.

She became a mother.

It is only when you become a mother that you understand this greatness, and in the same way, when you become a father, you will suddenly find yourself with an extra responsibility.

It all starts from the moment you see your child.

Scum is not among them.

The birth of the child made Chu Lingyun not care about other things for the time being, and even Chloe did go to find Thomas, but she didn't ask for any money.

She is now in Japan and does not dare to return to the United States at all.

As a result, her uncle told her that it was useless in Japan, and that Chu Lingyun and Mike had an excellent relationship, and she could be sent back for trial at any time.

Chloe wanted to flee to other countries, such as some small countries in Europe.

But she sadly found that her uncle actually controlled her, confiscated her passport, and waited for Chu Lingyun to deal with her.

She hates Thomas and fears the future even more.

She didn't want to be caught and put in jail.

Time passed slowly, and for the people of New York TV, a new test was coming.

On November 17th, the family's troubles were officially broadcast.

It takes time for the signal to be returned, and they can't get real-time data on the number of people watching, so they can only watch it themselves and then judge it based on the hotline number called.

The TV station has a hotline, and usually receives some feedback from viewers.

There are often people who call after watching the show.

The good ones are praise or inquiry, and the bad ones are plain or even scolding, they have received a lot of scolding calls before, the show is not doing well, and the audience is very ugly when they are not satisfied.

The first episode began to air.

The actor is a family of five.

A middle-aged couple with their three children, the eldest is a son, the second is a daughter, and the third is also a son, who is younger.

The beginning is some photos, including the male and female protagonists when they were young, their children and the whole family, and the photos come out, which intuitively makes people understand the relationship between their family.

Then there is the opening song, with some shots that were shot before.

This is Chu Lingyun's request.

The director was very attentive and asked the production manager to strictly follow the boss's requirements.

The opening of more than a minute passed quickly, and the male and female protagonists appeared first, and first the male protagonist joked with the female protagonist.

It is very straightforward to show their affection.

Now most of the movies on TV are played, and love movies are basically a routine, the male and female protagonists don't know each other, or they meet by chance, or they don't have feelings at first, and they are together through various stories.

TV series are different from movies, they don't need so much foreshadowing, not to mention that this is a family story in itself, and it is good to show their relationship at the beginning.

This opening is rotten in the later generations, but now is not the era when TV dramas in later generations are competing with a hundred flowers, and there are not many decent TV series at this time.

As the children appeared, the laughter of the narrator could be heard on the TV from time to time.

You don't have to guess this to know, it was Chu Lingyun's suggestion.

This kind of technique has been used too much in later generations, but it is not available at this time, and the first time it is used will always give people a sense of novelty.

The story unfolds slowly, and the occupations of the male and female protagonists are disclosed through dialogue, the basic situation of the children, and the scenes are mostly at home, even if it is an office, it is just a set, the cost of such a set is not high, it can be used for a long time, and it is inexpensive.

To put it simply, the story is simple, but very lively.

This is Chu Lingyun's key requirement, they are filming a family drama, and they must highlight the taste of family, for which the director has really made a lot of effort, which can not only resonate with the audience, but also lose fun.

The station manager is at home by the TV.

Even if he had already watched the finished film, he couldn't help but laugh when he rewatched it at this time.

This is definitely a novel TV series, and they are confident enough to be popular.

What he is most concerned about now is the phone situation, if there are many people calling, the ratings will definitely not be bad, whether it is praise or scolding, it is impossible to call this call without looking.

"Ring, ring, ring."

The first thing he remembered about the phone at the director's home was that he first looked at his watch and immediately grabbed the microphone.

"Director, our phone has not stopped, both phones are, now the operator can no longer answer, we temporarily added two extensions, but the phone is still constant, most of the praise, and some people ask if these are real people and real things we filmed?"

The head of production said excitedly that the director did not stay at the TV station, and he had to stay and work overtime.

This TV series is very critical, and he wants to stay informed about the situation.

"Okay, great, what about the critics?"

"Very little, now we have received more than two dozen calls, as long as one person is criticizing, he is criticizing acting, not content."

The production minister is very excited, at present, this drama will definitely be popular, and the ratings will not be bad.

"Get the data as soon as possible tomorrow."

The director commanded and hung up the phone, he was equally excited, but now was not the time to report the good news to the boss.

The report card of this TV series, the final ratings are the real score.

Soon after the first episode, when the commercial break in the middle of the episode ended, their phone was blown up.

It was not enough to pick up two extensions, so the production minister asked people to pick up two more.

Six telephones, basically hang up and have to be answered, and their TV station has never been so busy.

Especially during the advertising period, the number of people who scolded them increased dramatically.

They don't want to watch commercials, so they want to watch the next episode and let them show it as soon as possible, and some people say that they will show ads again, so they come to their TV station to protest.

This was the first time they had heard such a threat.

The production minister understands that this drama has become popular, the boss is really powerful, and the ideas he gave to the TV station are stronger than one another, and after this drama becomes popular, no one will be able to snatch the first position of the TV station from them in the future.

There is a boss here, and the production minister has this confidence.

The next day, the director came to the TV station fifteen minutes early, he didn't expect that he had been so long in advance, and many people had already arrived.

Everyone was talking excitedly.

They also watched the show yesterday, and many people watched it with their families, and the response was very good.

And their neighbors, friends.

Some relatives and friends who knew that they worked at this TV station called them and asked about the next plot.

Only people from the production department have seen the TV, and not everyone can watch the finished product in advance, even if it is on the TV station.

They can't say what's going on, and they're just as much about what they're friends about.

There has never been such a family drama before, who would have thought that family life could be so joyful?

What kind of family troubles is the title of the film, the name is correct, but everyone likes this little trouble very much, and it is not excluded.

When the director came to the office, he didn't have the heart to do things at all.

He's waiting for ratings.

It wasn't until half past ten that the head of production came in a hurry, he had been in the technical department, and this time the statistics were slower than every time before.

"Director, come out."

The production minister's lips trembled with excitement, he never imagined that the ratings of this show would be so high, it was unimaginable.

"How much."

The director stood up directly and looked at him nervously.

"Twenty, we broke twenty, according to statistics, there were 203,215 people who watched our TV yesterday."

The head of production quickly reported a number, and the director was stunned directly.

Actually broke twenty?

You must know that there are only more than 200,000 television stations in New York, and according to their own statistics, there are currently more than 230,000 households in New York using television, more than 200,000, and more than 90 percent of households have watched their programs.

At this time, the statistics of ratings were not as responsible as those of later generations, that is, the number of TV broadcasts, and it was not possible to do the ratings data that could be accurate to every minute and every second like later generations.

There is also no age segment, detailed calculation formula.

Now it's as simple as watching how many TVs have watched their show.

Two hundred thousand is something they have never achieved before.

No, it is an achievement that hundreds of TV stations in New York and even in the United States have not had.

This list of achievements is absolutely impressive.

Because some people didn't watch it because they weren't at home or had other things, if you remove this part, their real ratings will be even higher.

This time it was not a beating on other TV stations, but the most ruthless crushing.

(End of chapter)
