this man is not calm

Chapter 293: Go faster

If possible, we should try our best to make it both public and private. If that doesn't work, put personal matters first. Business matters are mostly not urgent and do not have to be started immediately.

Since this month, Jin Shang has been going home frequently to visit his parents after get off work. He has chatted with Que Sheng and Guifeng, who have just come home, and has gotten to know each other a lot. He said that he will have to entrust them with many things at home in the future.

Some time ago, Mei Xinghong showed some signs of prenatal depression, but as the due date approached, she seemed very energetic and cheerful.

No matter Jin Shi, Jin Shang or Mei Xinghong, they are not people who like to socialize too much. Lao Jin is barely good at dancing and has made many connections, but that does not mean that he likes socializing with you.

My energy is limited, so I can only maintain effective social interactions, select some people worth making friends with, and delve into a few circles.

As the business is on the right track, two newly opened Uniqlo stores have officially opened, bringing the number of stores in Beijing to six. Fast fashion brands targeting urban youth have gradually begun to gain popularity.

May 12th, Sunday, is not a special day. The calendar card shows the three characters "Nurses' Day", but Chinese people don't pay much attention to these foreign holidays. Only practitioners may remember it, invite friends, and three Go out for a walk in groups of five.

I took two almost-adult shepherd dogs, Huang Er and Jin Biao, out for a walk. When I came back, I saw Jin Shi had arrived home.

On weekends, Uniqlo's business is much better than usual. It is the season change at this time, and there are many men and women going out to buy clothes. With so many people coming and going, problems can easily arise.

Lao Jin is relatively leisurely on weekdays, but on the contrary, he is busier on holidays.

That's right, whether it's a hot pot city, a fresh food supermarket or a fast fashion clothing store, there are obviously more people during holidays.

After brushing the two shepherd dogs, cleaning them, and feeding them some dog food and water, Jin Shang returned to the living room and saw his father packing away the gifts placed in the living room.

There are so many big and small bags, and many relatives and friends come to visit during these times, and Lao Jin also buys things from time to time. Since most of them are not used, they end up being piled up in warehouses, given away when possible, and thrown away if they break.

"There are so many health products, it's really...a waste."

Jin Shang started to help clean up and sighed with mixed emotions,

"It's more profitable to sell this kind of thing, and you can make a lot of money. Advertisements are everywhere, and the effect is hard to describe. Anyway, as long as you don't eat it and cause problems, it doesn't matter."

This kind of business is not only domestic, nor limited to the present. It has existed in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, for five thousand years.

Pregnant women, the elderly, children, young people, etc., no one is immune to this trick. For example, there is an endless supply of supplements that are currently popular for candidates taking exams, boasting that they can make people energetic, their brains function better, and their learning efficiency can be improved;

For young women, it is probably just applied on the face. I don’t know if there are any useful facial masks or cosmetics;

There are differences in the products, but they are essentially the same.

This is not the first time I am waiting for a child to be born, so I am extremely helpless when it comes to the first golden hour.

"The actual value of the gift is not worth mentioning. The key is friendship, which cannot be ignored."

"The higher the price, the deeper the friendship."

Smiling Jin Shang shrugged,

"I heard Li Xuan say that every year during the Chinese New Year in my hometown, the children who traveled far away were very happy to bring big and small bags, especially the health products with high prices. They were on TV commercials and were broadcast over and over again. , everyone knows that the recognized good stuff is right in front of you, even if you know that the dough is filled with flour dumplings, it’s still very respectable. The merchants are treacherous, they just noticed this..."

"Do you understand?"

Jin Shi glared at his son who was chatting angrily,

"Say less! By the way, your girlfriend didn't come?"

"Relatives are coming from my hometown. Their children are going to the university here and they want to come and visit."

"Isn't it the summer vacation yet? This year's tourist season has arrived early?"

"How did I know? These days, parents are getting more and more anxious..."

Since the first composition competition and English speech contest for primary and secondary school students were held last year, preparations have been made again this year. The number of early registrations has increased seven times compared with last year. After communicating with local primary and secondary schools, several training courses will be held. The extra classrooms were so packed that they couldn't fit in them at all, so editor-in-chief Zhao Rongzhen had to find time to find a place to build a real education and training school while he was busy with his own work.

It’s easy to talk about qualifications, but it’s hard to find excellent teachers, especially foreign language teachers.

There was really no other way, so Jin Shang had to ask someone to find a foreign teacher.

Several foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes endorsed it, which made many hesitant parents overjoyed and came to inquire and sign up. As a result, the shortage of teachers became increasingly apparent.

I have to mention that running a training school is really profitable. Looking at the monthly turnover and income, Jin Shang, who is well-informed, can't help but feel envious. Of course, the investment and expenses in this industry are not small. It is still in the stage of laying a solid foundation, recruiting talents, and building a reputation, and it is still early to reach the harvest period.

Fortunately, it’s not like I can’t make money back. I can already make a small profit by selling training materials, tapes and CDs.

When this topic was brought up, Jin Shi and Jin Shang, father and son, were also very sad. You don’t need to be too keen to discern that children in the future will be under increasing pressure to study, and the burden on parents will also be heavier.

The vast majority of families’ expenditure on their children’s education will rise sharply.

This is a big market. Jin Shang has never thought of being alone, or even taking a dominant position. Entering the market early and occupying more shares is the limit.

The biggest gain is that the background data of Jinxi Chat shows that there are more and more "baby mother communication groups" across the country. The orders for group purchases of early childhood education books, maternal and infant supplies, daily necessities, cosmetics and clothing have also skyrocketed, making Li Xuan these days. Month's busyness has also improved significantly.

The steady growth in revenue made Wei Shuangping, who was under great pressure, feel a little more relaxed, and all parties looking at the sales data were also relatively satisfied.

We didn't talk much about business matters at home. Jin Shi talked about the arrangements for the future.

"On Friday, I plan to have your mother hospitalized for delivery. You can run around the house, stores and clubs. I guess I won't have time to visit her."

"it is good."

According to Mrs. Xian, it is better for elderly mothers to move in early, just in case.

My mother, Mei Xinghong, is also a rather individual person. She doesn't really care whether she lives in a hospital or not. I feel more comfortable at home, but when I go to the maternity hospital, someone is taking care of everything, which is too inconvenient and boring.

Nearly a whole year has not been easy either. After that, there are still two or three years of troublesome things like babysitting and early childhood education.

The child who is about to be born is not a time traveler like Jin Shang who carries the wisdom of his previous life, so he doesn't have to deal with it very much. Thinking that Jin Shi and Mei Xinghong were about to experience the horror of a "four-legged gold-eating beast", Jin Shang couldn't help but look forward to it.

Jin Shang, who had never made much noise since childhood, gave the two of them too many illusions, thinking that giving birth and raising children were all good memories. If it really happened once, whoever takes care of it would know.
-

When he went to work on Monday, Jin Shang arranged many things. After giving instructions on the urgent official documents, he contacted the art center of the local TV station in Beijing non-stop, and also the film academy and drama academy to help introduce actors.

The director had already been selected. Nan Dalong picked a few more suitable ones and asked Zhu Jingxiao to help introduce them, and the decision was quickly finalized.

There are no heroes or heroes in this world, and there are relatively few folk tales about ghosts and monsters. It is completely different from the previous life. Therefore, for the unit drama named "The Strange Case of the Song Dynasty", after the script is confirmed, it is enough to find a crew with strong skills, who can shoot step by step and show the charm of it authentically.

As long as the money is in place, the service is not stretched too thin, and the actors are dedicated, it basically won't be too bad. In the previous life, cheap Hong Kong dramas were popular all over the country, so they still have a lot to offer.

What Jin Shang values ​​most is their high efficiency.

You can shoot a theatrical movie in seven days without even a script, can you believe it?

As for TV dramas with lower picture requirements, they are basically studio works, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and other ancient costume martial arts dramas that are very popular with the audience. In order to shoot big scenes, you can fool them as much as possible. Can't see the details. The background of the mountains and rivers is a curtain projection, which is not as elaborate as a stage play. The dynamic waterfall is hung with cloth strips and blown by an electric fan, and sound effects are added to simulate it.

"The Strange Case of the Song Dynasty" produced by Jinxi Culture will definitely not be so cheap. It is not expected to be completely shot, and it will never be completed in ten and a half days.

Two months, no more than three months, try to complete it as soon as possible.

It is not an annual drama. It does not win with pictures, but attracts people with plot. Therefore, the requirements for actors to perform on the spot are even higher.

After a simple casting meeting, the protagonist was determined, and the secondary roles were left to the crew to decide.

After working for a long time, it was finally over. Jin Shang rushed to the TV station without stopping to express his gratitude to Director Zhu Jingxiao.

"Do you...do you have to be in such a hurry? With the investment in one "The Strange Case of the Song Dynasty", you can make three "I Love My Family" movies with just a few dollars. Do you really have money and nowhere to spend it?"

"You're joking. This is the first film to ask questions. It must be of excellent quality. A good start is half the success. It has to be like this."

"I heard Teacher Qu say it, but I just don't understand it. I can take a lot of photos. Is it necessary to hang myself by staring at this tree?"

"Let's put it this way..."

Jin Shang explained carefully,

"It's like I discovered a few pieces of fertile land, and I plan to dig deep into it, explore its value, and use it as the main basis to build the company's cultural creation foundation. Tall buildings are rising from the ground. If I don't lay a solid foundation now, it will be difficult to do it in the future. . Of course, it would be best if it hits the ground running. If it fails, I have to change my approach and try again."

If "The Strange Case of the Song Dynasty" can't open up the situation, we have to turn to martial arts, novels first, and comics and TV series to follow. In that case, it will probably take another two or three years, which is too slow.

ten thousand years is too long, fight for now.

The entertainment industry is different from the Internet, which requires infrastructure development. There are no online platforms, TV stations, magazine serials, animations, etc., which are all good channels. You don’t have to wait for Jinxi Video to develop and grow before investing heavily.

"It's best if you're sure."

Zhu Jingxiao didn't insist on telling the reason, but just gave a few words of persuasion.

"The subject matter is too new and biased, and it cannot be broadcast on comprehensive channels. It is actually possible to go to second-tier satellite TV and local channels, but the realization speed is a little slower, but it is not bad. After reading the outline of your script, I know that this "Song Dynasty" "The Case" won't be far behind. If it can really come true, it will open up another track and point out the direction for practitioners who can't find many ways out."

After a pause, Director Zhu Jingxiao hesitated and continued:

"In principle, there should be no chance of it, but... after you finish filming, you might as well come and deliver it. After the screening, there may be hope."

"How to say?"

"Now and then, policy fine-tuning, leadership changes, market trends, etc. are all changing rapidly. For example, "Foreign Girl", which is to be broadcast in the middle of next month, would never have been on the TV series five years ago. What was aired on the channel during prime time is now the obvious choice.”

"As the economy develops, people's concepts have changed."

"Yes, that's the truth. Three to five months is neither long nor short. In the past, it was not worth mentioning. Now, the pace of life has become faster, let alone three or five months. I can give you a moth in three or five days."

"There is something in those words. Did something happen?"

"No more talking, it's okay for now."

Zhu Jingxiao waved her hand and ended the topic, leaving Jin Shang to think about the complexity of the workplace.

When it comes to the schedule arrangement of TV series, Zhu Jingxiao has a lot of say, but she doesn't always stick to her word. There are so many people inside and outside, and everything has to be discussed.

Next, the two talked about realistic themes. The filming of the drama "Foreign Girl" was actually not that difficult. The key was that in order to reproduce the real style of working people, they chose to shoot on site, which was very expensive. Yes, a lot of time is wasted.

After watching the samples of the first three episodes, everyone was very satisfied. In the filming of film and television dramas, investing money may not necessarily have an effect, but not investing money will definitely not be much better.

If the cast and creators are chosen right, and the management is financially powerful and willing to spend money, it will naturally lead to a happy ending for everyone.

As for the evaluation and review of art, with the support of a big tree, as long as there are no major mistakes, there will basically be no problems.

"We must pay close attention to reshoots and post-production editing. It is understandable that the time is delayed a little, but we cannot miss the broadcast time. The Art Center has been waiting for a long time, and we must also pay attention to advertising investment. here we go."

"I'll go and urge them. Don't worry, they're all old acquaintances who have worked together many times. They won't slip up."

From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, it was really the golden period of cooperation. Several works were released one after another, and the response was very good. Zhu Jingxiao, who worked hard, also received a lot of praise.

If you are as beautiful as a tree, there will inevitably be some gossip, so you should be more cautious when doing things.
