Chapter 290, Loser Boss (Ask for Subscription)
At Entstone Ranch, Zhou Jimin looked at the children who were unwilling to return to the island, and his face was full of helplessness.
Since there were not many shooting tasks, the shooting was completed in less than a day.
But when he said that he wanted to take the children home, they first pretended to be crazy and stupid, pointed to the villa and said that this is home.
He couldn't cry or laugh, and he had to explain that it was the home of the island, so they reluctantly 'suddenly realized', and then rolled around, not wanting to go back.
"Okay, it's okay if you don't want to go back, then I'll go back with your mother, and you can be self-reliant here."
Since they were so fun-loving, he had no choice but to do this.
Yes?
The little kids were dumbfounded.
What made them even more devastating was that their parents really got on the plane, and then they didn't take them with them, and the plane took off and drove away.
Wow, Zhou Qingyue and the others all cried.
On the plane, Guan Ling and the others were very worried about the children, lying on the window and looking down.
However, Zhou Jimin did what he said and really sent them back to the island.
However, as soon as he returned them to the island, he returned to the Engston ranch.
He did not land near the villa, but after landing in the open sea, he slowly approached in a yacht.
Because he wanted to see what would happen if the children were left alone on the ranch.
As for their safety, Zhou Jimin is not worried at all.
Wangcai and they are next to them, almost two big dogs watching a child, so they will not have an accident.
When he quietly landed on the dock and approached the villa, he himself was dumbfounded.
I saw that the little ones were actually playing in the pavilion, not at all the helplessness and pity of the children crying and dumbfounded when he left just now, but very cheerful.
"These children, it's enough, so heartless?"
It's just that when he looked at it for a while, he realized that something was wrong.
Because they were hungry, he walked towards the villa, and he could see the tears on their faces.
"Sister, Mom and Dad are not at home, are we going to be hungry?"
The youngest Qing Huan opened his mouth, touching his stomach, his face full of grievances.
Qing Ling next to her is the same, with a flat mouth and a small frown, which is very cute.
"Don't be afraid, I have hidden snacks and I won't starve you." Zhou Qingyue comforted her sister like a little adult, obviously not much taller than her sister, but she was very imposing, not nervous at all, but comforted the twins.
"I've hidden snacks too, I'll take them out later, let's eat together."
As soon as Xiao Xu finished speaking, Zhou Bingheng also said that he also had snacks.
This made Zhou Jimin, who was hiding not far away and eavesdropping, even more speechless.
It's really a little kid, and it's really a ghost elf.
However, he was quite pleased, the children were friendly and helpful, very united, and he was very happy with his old father.
Among the children, the youngest is Ji Bu Chuhe's second son Zhou Bingchang, who is not yet two years old, a few days later than the two sisters Qinghuan and Qingning.
And Qin Jingru's second child, Zhou Qingmei, and Guan Ling's first child, Zhou Qingyi, are not yet one year old, so they brought them back just now.
The children walked into the villa, took out snacks, and then sat down on the steps at the door of the villa, sharing the food together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It seems that without their parents by their side, they are more free and unrestrained.
Wangcai and they had already discovered Zhou Jimin, but they were stopped by him.
It's just that the children didn't notice these at all, until Wangcai kept staring at the direction where Zhou Jimin was, and was asked curiously by Qing Ning, Xiaoyue, the big sister, then proposed to go over there to have a look.
Yes, at this time, Zhou Jimin knew that he couldn't hide.
I had to stand up.
As soon as he appeared, the children couldn't help it, and they all burst into tears, crying and running over to hug him.
"Slow down, don't fall!"
Especially Qingning, the three of them are not a little smaller, they are less than two years old, and they can walk normally, but when they run, they stumble.
It looks like it's about to fall, which makes people worry about it.
After a while, he was full of children in his arms.
No one fell, and they all ran safely into his arms.
It's the kind of people who cry fiercely and can't coax well.
It had only been a few moments, and their eyes were red and swollen.
"Good, Daddy is wrong, Daddy shouldn't have left you here......"
"No, Dad is right, it's us who are wrong, we shouldn't be playful and don't listen to Dad......"
Zhou Qingyue, who was with teardrops, said with a little face twitching and crying.
Much more sensible!
It's distressing to be well-behaved.
Qinghuan and the others also cried and admitted their mistakes, and one by one they lost the stubbornness and nonsense they had before.
"Dad, forgive us, we were wrong, don't leave us alone in the future, okay?"
"Okay, Daddy forgive you, little slug, look at your embarrass......"
"Oh, Dad, you're bad, don't take pictures......"
Seeing their father pull out his camera as if playing a trick, the children shyly avoided it.
Especially Zhou Qingyue, she is four years old, and she knows how to be shy.
"Haha, don't dodge, my daughter is so beautiful, and my son is so handsome, right?"
In the hip-hop, all grievances and dissatisfaction have disappeared.
After the ice was released, Zhou Jimin returned to the island with the children.
immediately showed the video to Guan Ling and them, which caused the children to scream.
"Hmph, Dad, you're so bad, delete the video quickly......"
"Haha, how beautiful it is, I have to keep it and show it to you later......"
Qin Jingru and the others laughed, pulled the children away, and continued to watch with relish.
The next day, all the photographic materials that had been produced were sent back to the company for editing.
Unlike movies, the editing of music shorts is deceptively simple, but because there is no precedent, the editor is also blind.
In the evening of the same day, Zhou Jimin, who returned to the island from the capital, was furious when he heard about it.
At nine o'clock in the evening, all the editors were called back to the company for a lecture.
"It's just a three- or four-minute short film, and you can edit it according to the storyboard script, is there anything you can't do?"
It was also the first time for the three editors to meet the legendary big boss, and they were also scared and trembling when they were so severely reprimanded.
Like a quail, he stood aside with his head down, not daring to say anything.
"Why don't you speak? Isn't it very eloquent during the day? ”
There was another scolding, and the editors collectively trembled, but no one dared to say anything.
Outside the office, Guan Ling and Qin Jingru, who came with Zhou Jimin, saw Zhou Jimin so angry for the first time and didn't dare to squeak.
The two also know very well that Zhou Jimin attaches great importance to Xiaoyue's record album.
Not only did he stay on the island for more than a month, but he accompanied Xiaoyue and her group of children almost when he was free, and he did many things himself.
He also invested a lot of money and made a music video, which was unique before.
I'm afraid it's not just about accompanying children, it's more about other things.
Guan Ling and Qin Jingru didn't understand that Zhou Qingyue's childhood album was just a record to put it bluntly, what could they not understand?
However, with such attention, the quality of this album is indeed perfect.
After reprimanding the three editors, Zhou Jimin asked the three of them to continue to work overtime overnight, cutting out a short film of one of the songs first.
They worked until two o'clock in the morning, and then let the three of them go.
In fact, the movies of this era used film, which was very expensive.
Not only that, but this kind of film needs to be edited with scissors.
There are also editing techniques such as overprinting, dissolution, infiltration, and expulsion, in which the editor first converts the synchronized soundtrack into a tape corresponding to the working dailies, and then combines it with the film at the same speed as the film, and then cuts it on a dialogue double film containing music and some effects.
Therefore, the whole process is not only complicated, but after a knife goes down, if it does not meet the director's intentions, then the film will be in vain.
Wang Sunglasses Wong Kar-wai back then, why did he lose several film investment businesses?
It's just that too much film has been wasted, which has led to an increase in the amount of investment, and in the end, the market still doesn't buy it, and the investors don't have to wear their pants.
Although the editors were hired with high salaries, in the face of music shorts, it was the first time that the big girl got on the sedan chair.
This is the scene of being reprimanded by Zhou Jimin.
However, after being reprimanded, in the next few days, the editor suddenly came to his senses.
The editing speed is blazing fast and the quality is excellent.
It didn't take long for Zhou Jimin to get the final version of the original master of the record and the original master of the short film.
At the hilltop villa, he turned on the TV, and the family was already sitting on the sofa in rows, waiting to enjoy the short film.
"Dad, I'm sure I'm good-looking."
"I'm handsome too....."
"I sing the best......"
Amid the noisy voices of the little ones, the picture of the TV began to flicker, and then a picture appeared.
The song of childhood is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also has a unique lyrics.
And Zhou Qingyue did not boast of Huang Po selling melons, but her voice was really good, and she was very ear-catching with her immature but ethereal and tactful timbre.
On the banyan tree by the pond, I know that summer is crying.
The whole family, all night, watched the album short and was completely addicted to it.
"Tell the factory that we will make 1 million copies of this record first, and 10,000 copies of the film with the short film.....
Zhou Jimin said with a smile at Xu Mei and the four girls.
But these words scared the four of them a lot, this is too much, right?
"Not much, if this record is not popular, I will be the first to believe it."
He is very confident in this.
Not only is the quality of the record itself very high, but with the king of short films, it can be said that it has met this year's record champion.
Besides, millions of albums are not only distributed on the island, but also in Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other places.
As for the channel or something, there is a rose record company, and I am afraid that it will not be able to sell?
And whether Europeans and Americans will reject the sweet and lovely Satsuki and beautiful singing voice, it will wait for the market to verify.
Finally, the mainland market can also consume some of it.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin is not worried about not being able to sell at all.
It's really not good, there is still a small city of June Fourth.
The next day, the management of the record company received a notice that a million childhood records were to be produced, and they were stunned.
What's the situation?
Boss, is this going crazy?
The management knows very well that the child in the album of childhood is the daughter of the boss.
To promote their children to become stars, the management can understand the boss's mentality.
But with the increasing costs, the management is becoming more and more jaw-dropping, and now they have almost overturned their Tianling cover.
Millions of albums, what terrible news.
It is undeniable that the quality of this album in childhood is very high, but Zhou Qingyue is just a four-year-old girl.
And I didn't have any fame at all before, so it's very good to be able to sell thousands of records, and a million?
Is it possible that after the records are poured, they accumulate dust in the warehouse?
Out of professionalism, the management explained the market situation to Xu Mei and several of her bosses, trying to persuade the bosses not to act recklessly.
As a result, Xu Mei and the others were very domineering, saying that there was no need to persuade them, let the factory run at full capacity, work overtime, and complete all the irrigation within half a month.
In addition, it is necessary to inform the factory that after half a month, there may be an increase in orders, so be mentally prepared.
When the management heard this, they almost fainted.
Yes, if the boss wants to lose, he can't stop it, so let's lose.
Anyway, the boss's family is very rich, and the Apple Daily and the Qihang Publishing House can make a lot of money every day.
So the factory machines buzzed, and the workers began to work overtime, hard work.
The task of a million records is not a trivial matter.
The original machine was not enough, and several more production lines had to be added, and more manpower had to be added.
In this way, the factory on the island was working hard to start stocking up, but Zhou Jimin came to the 64 town with the ten records produced.
It was this afternoon, near evening.
On the central side of the square, a group of workers have finally finished the renovation of the square, and the water is now open.
"Comrade Panda, what the hell are you messing up about? It's the water pipes and the computer, and the stones......"
Chu Huan looked at the small pipe outlet curiously, then looked at the computer not far away, and whispered to Zhou Jimin next to him.
"You'll find out later......"
The latter didn't reveal anything, anyway, the other party will understand it later.
Isn't the music fountain just playing music and watching the fountain?
Those stones are ordinary slabs that can seep water quickly, and there is nothing special about them.
In a few moments, the pool at the bottom of the slate was filled with water, and the fountain was ready to start working.
The music started and the fountain began to work.
I saw Chu Huan and the others looking at those water columns with their mouths wide open, their faces full of disbelief.
The fountain in the sun, with its rainbow twinkling, is particularly beautiful.
Coupled with the music, it is even more beautiful.
After a while, the children who were playing not far away also gathered.
In the era of expensive entertainment, new things like fountains were naturally sought after by everyone.
What's more, the songs played are still immature children's sounds, and they are exceptionally good, and the melody is so beautiful, for children, the attraction is directly full.
"It's so good, are these all new songs from the outside world?"
After a childhood, Chu Huan came back to his senses and asked Zhou Jimin.
"Yes, this is the latest song, it is estimated that it will not be long before there should be a sale in the town, if you want to buy it, you can go and see it then."
"Okay, I'd like to buy it and send it to my child......"
Hearing this, Zhou Jimin paused, and suddenly said:
"Have you ever thought about bringing your wife and children here?"
In the small town, there are not many soldiers, but counting those 'retired' apprentices who steal crafts, there are now more than a thousand.
With such a large scale, most of them are still married, it may be nothing for a year or two, but after a long time, they will definitely have emotions.
Although it is normal for soldiers to be separated from their wives, Zhou Jimin is happy to improve their happiness if possible.
"Comrade Panda, do you have a way? Right, you must have a way...."
Chu Huan was suddenly excited, and his eyes were red.
It would be nice if I could bring my wife and children with me.
Every time he patrols and trains, he is very envious when he sees other people in the small town, when the family walks together.
"I have a way, but you have to understand one thing, once your wife and children come here, they will inevitably be like you, and it is estimated that they can only stay here for the rest of their lives, understand?"
"What's so bad about a lifetime? The environment here is good, there is a job, there is school, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing...... A good thing that can't be found with a lantern, even if it's a lifetime, I'm worth it. ”
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Platoon Commander Liu and Comrade Wang later, and see what should be done about this matter."
Of course, Zhou Jimin knows that this matter is not easy to do, because not everyone wants to come here.
Just like An Zesheng, his family is in the capital, there are two old people, and he has a house, how can he be willing to let his family come to the northwest to accompany him to endure hardships?
Although the conditions of the town are much better than those of the town of June Fourth in all aspects, this is a large desert area, and there are many people who are unwilling to let their families come.
In the afterglow of the sunset, Wang Ping'an and others also stood next to the music fountain, looking at the square where many people had gathered, and couldn't help but be full of emotion.
Not long after the musical fountain came out, the children were the first to see it and were reluctant to leave.
The workers who got off work and others were all gathered around.
There are free and good songs, and fountains to watch, who doesn't want to stop and watch one or two?
As a result, more and more people don't want to go home for dinner, and all stay in the square and listen with relish.
This is the charm of this era.
Zhou Jimin looked at this scene and was also full of emotion.
In the past, it was recorded in the text that during the time when Shanghai Tang was broadcast, there were thousands of empty alleys, and I thought it was very exaggerated.
But looking at it now, it's not hard to understand.
Because people in this era are too lacking in entertainment.
People living in the small city of June Fourth already have an economic foundation and hardly worry about the Five Organs Temple, so they will urgently pursue spiritual satisfaction.
And music plus fountains can meet this just right.
