The leisurely life of rebirth

Lao Huang looked at his army green shirt, and then at the hotel's business car, feeling a little submissive.

Pointing at He Zai: "You go first."

He Zai smiled and got on the bus first. It was indeed inappropriate to expect these miserable brothers to adapt to this.

At least not yet.

Man's fate is destined by God.

Even if you change your destiny, it will take some time to adapt.

Zhou You chose a private room for 20 people, which was more than enough room for them.

In a five-star hotel, you only get one brand, the decoration is better, and the food is okay. Anyway, you can be full if you order a few more things.

As soon as things were done here, Zhao Yun and the others followed.

Batu stood below to lead the way. There was only a box number, and it was troublesome to find it.

What's more, I'm afraid that the hotel will watch people ordering dishes and treat these sticks with a bad attitude. If a good thing turns unpleasant in the end, it will be worth the loss.

There is everyone in the service industry.

In particular, some shopkeepers have one face when they buy things, and another face when they don’t buy things.

Chameleon and snobbery are the way of survival for these people.

Throw a turtle into a yellow potty and it will feel noble.

Riding a donkey to the palace ball, it can compare itself to the princess.

Climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix,

When working in some high-end places, some people may feel that they are better than ordinary people.

In fact, they are all just service industries.

Fortunately, someone was with him, otherwise he would have been blocked. It's not the hotel's fault, it was He Zai and the others who carried all the sticks on their bodies.

Needless to say, it really smells majestic and majestic.

If there is a conflict, it will be a big killer.

I am a stick, and I carry a big iron rod. Is it normal?

When the group arrived at the box, they were still a little cautious.

Lao Huang was a little at a loss. It didn't seem to fit anywhere. His simple clothes were incompatible with these high-end places.

"Go ahead, don't be polite. Director He has arranged it. I've already ordered the food. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it. By the way, what do you want to drink?" Zhou You greeted everyone.

He Zai heard this and pushed Lao Huang and everyone to their seats.

All the sticks were placed beside the door. A row of thick wooden sticks were leaning there, looking at the tables, chairs, doors and floors that were all made of wood.

There is a sharp contrast.

After He Zai arranged everyone, he briefly introduced the sticks he was working on.

Especially Lao Huang: "This is Master Huang, who introduced me to the industry. At the beginning, no one was willing to believe me, thinking I was a liar."

After hearing this, everyone started talking.

"There are no young people working hard nowadays. They have to endure hardships and can't make any money. How can you believe that you are so young?" Lao Huang's mouth squirmed.

Don't look at these sticks. When we were together, it was normal to brag and chat. But now, we are still a little stumbling.

Zhou Yu is also very understandable.

If it were him, he would probably be a little nervous if he was suddenly asked to attend a meeting with other foreign bigwigs.

"Director He, I'm also curious, why do you want to photograph Bangbang as a group?" Zhou You asked.

He Zai sat up straight, still retaining his old style: "I'm just interested. I grew up in a mountain village. What I envied most at the beginning were the Bangbangs who worked outside the village. I thought they were very powerful. They could go to big cities and see the world. The world of flowers.”

Lao Huang and others looked at He Zai with very complicated expressions.

Zhou You probably understood, and those eyes probably meant: Is this person a fool?

"What do you think now?" Zhou You continued to ask.

"I still think it's amazing to be able to persist for such a long time in such a difficult environment. If you think about it, my master, Lao Huang, has been doing this for more than 30 years and almost all his life. It is not easy to support a family." He Zai still feels that these people are amazing.

Zhou You nodded: "Everyone is working hard in life and working hard for three meals. Come on, let me toast you all."

The food has been served.

A few bottles of liquor were also served, for those who were working hard, they drank some wine to relieve their fatigue and give themselves a half-day off.

He was the first to stand up and everyone poured a small glass.

I asked the waiter to go out, but with the waiter around, I felt even more uncomfortable walking around watching Bangbang.

Everyone stood up one after another and drank the wine in their glasses.

"Okay, everyone, let's eat. Drink wine slowly and fill your stomach first." Zhou You saw that their eyes were already hungry.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

Chatting while eating is the best way to promote feelings.

Zhao Yun sat next to He Zai and teased him: "I can understand your shooting of Bang Bang, but why do you want to participate in person? Can't you just find someone to follow you every day?"

He Zai smiled bitterly: "I just wanted to experience it at first, but I didn't know that I was addicted. I was put on the hook myself and couldn't get off."

This was also his true thought, and he wanted to give it a try. Who knew that the sunk costs were getting higher and higher, and he was getting deeper and deeper. Fortunately, the filming was almost over, otherwise he really didn’t know how long he would have to work.

"How long will it take to finish filming?" Zhao Yun asked.

He Zai thought for a while and said cautiously: "It will be finished by the end of the year. We have enough material. If we continue, it will be a repetition of life, and there will not be much meaning."

"Well, too much is not enough. Are you ready for the release?" Zhou You swallowed the beef in his mouth and said.

Hearing this, He Zai scratched his head: "Not yet. I have contacted several companies in the early stage, but none of them are interested."

I have a headache, I really have a headache. It turns out that at work, I don’t have these worries, and it can be released after the filming is completed.

Who would have thought that in society, no one would look at it.

The things you have worked so hard to make are not just like your own children, they are also the things you have worked so hard to create. If no one appreciates them, don't you think it's sad?

"It's okay. Since Mr. Zhou is here, there won't be these problems." Zhao Yun had felt this way before and could understand his mood very well.

Zhou You knew that it turned out that the film only sold for 2 yuan. Including distribution fees and other taxes, it seemed that the price in his hands was less than yuan.

Yes, I didn’t make money, but I made fame.

He Zai looked at Zhou You with confusion.

Zhao Yun patted his forehead: "I forgot, you have just entered the documentary industry, and you don't know some of Mr. Zhou's situation. Let me briefly explain, Zhou You, university teacher, part-time investor, shareholder of many well-known companies, documentary, music There are foundations in the three fields of literature and literature, and there is also an entertainment company, the documentary film Bite of Tongue, and the recently popular TV series and movies, which Mr. Zhou has invested in."

During the introduction, everyone stopped and listened carefully.

Although it was a simple introduction, this list of titles had already impressed them.

He Zai stood up excitedly: "I give a toast to Teacher Zhou. I admire educated people. I joined the army at the age of 18 and my education level was not high. Later, I studied hard and could barely keep up with the development of society."

He Zai didn't care much about other identities, he just admired the university teachers.

Lao Huang and the others just ate and didn't say anything.

When asked occasionally, just answer a few words.     Finally had a big meal, and there was no time to talk.

The people at the bottom no longer care about those frivolous things. They should eat and drink when they should.

Working to make money is a matter of course.

Zhou You still remembers the sentence from the documentary: "It feels so good to have oil in your throat."

There was also the scene where He Zai was too embarrassed to ask his employer for money. Lao Huang stepped forward and said, "It's reasonable to pay for work, so why am I so embarrassed to ask for it?"

Yes, what the people at the bottom live is reality, and what they live is interests.

After having enough food and wine, I couldn't swallow the food anymore. I still swallowed subconsciously when I saw that there was a lot of food left on the table.

When I saw them around, I was a little sad. These are the children's parents, and they are the only ones who protect them from the wind and rain at home.

"Masters, if you don't mind, please pack it up. It's all for us to eat and it's not dirty." Zhou You said.

Lao Huang nodded repeatedly: "It's not dirty, it's not dirty. I eat it by myself. What's wrong with it? Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

After saying that, several people started packing.

He Zai was also there to help them pack.

I really admire He Zai when traveling around. He is able to endure hardships and enjoy blessings. He is not an ordinary person.

"Brother Liang, please arrange for the masters to go back first, and I will chat with Director He for a while."

He Zai nodded. There were many things that were difficult to say at the dinner table.

Zhou You invited everyone to have a meal with Bangbang. There was no expression of disdain during the whole process and he was very calm.

Both sides are observing each other. If Zhou You is suspected of showing off, He Zai believes that he can still tell it, unless he is the best actor.

But I really don't have the greed for profit, and I don't deserve it.

Li Houliang sent a group of people downstairs and was preparing to arrange vehicles to send them back.

Unexpectedly, a group of people shook their heads: "Let's walk back. We are too full. If we go back by car, if we vomit, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

With one sentence, Li Houliang was completely silenced.

It is impossible to laugh, there is only deep sadness,

Feel it!

I didn’t insist on it anymore. I happened to take a walk after dinner and could still eat in the evening.

Standing on the steps, I watched several sticks carrying wooden sticks on their backs, tied with ropes, and carrying packed lunch boxes in their hands. They walked forward contentedly and a little drunk.

The slightly swaying bodies didn't know how long this meal would be enough for them to brag about.

Think about whether your father, when he was working outside, could meet kind-hearted people, whether he could get a moment of respite from the hard work, and whether he could have some good memories.

Li Houliang cherishes his current life more and more.

Meeting a noble person in life is enough.

After the song ended and everyone dispersed, Zhou You took He Zai to the hotel upstairs to talk things over.

A large private room with a reception room outside. Traveling around is becoming more and more fond of this layout. I didn't understand the meaning of this design before, but now I understand.

In addition to sleeping, it can also serve as a guest room.

He Zai and Zhao Yun sat on both sides, each holding a cup of tea, and they were slowly blowing the tea leaves on the cup, looking very relaxed and leisurely.

If you look closely, the same goes for traveling around.

Sobering tea.

Bashi is very good!

"Director Zhao, how do you think this documentary should be arranged?" Zhou You leaned comfortably and asked Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was a little confused: "Brother You, there must be people watching this kind of documentary. It depends on where it is released, how it is promoted, and how many people watch it in the end?"

"Brother Yun, aren't you talking nonsense? People read everything." Zhou You was a little speechless, Lao Zhao was still as unreliable as ever.

He Zai was watching the two people talking, but he didn't want to interrupt.

For him, it is already a good situation. He has found financial investment in the middle and there are still people willing to continue to help.

"Director He, what do you think?" Zhou You asked him directly.

He Zai sat up straight and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I don't have many ideas. I can shoot it and cut it into a film. For me, the task has been completed. All that's left is to look at the sky. "

"I asked a lot of questions in the early stage, but no one was interested. They thought this documentary had no explosive points and was risky. Food documentaries have been quite popular in the past few years, but it's a pity that I'm not interested."

Zhou You nodded: "Well, the food has been photographed badly. I don't want to see it. Too much is too much. I hope that a hundred flowers can bloom, not just one family."

They all like to take pictures of delicious food, which is probably due to their desire for profit.

The risk of food is low. At most, it will be removed from the shelves if it touches food safety. There is no need to worry about other risks.

You can also attract sponsorship and collect some promotion fees.

He Zai nodded, they are all people with ideas, not people who make commercial documentaries.

"Let's see, there are two models. The first is direct acquisition, a one-time buyout. The other is to negotiate on your behalf, watch the later broadcast, and sign the profit share." Zhou You also looked at the documentaries he would invest in in the future. The model is more appropriate.

Wine can promote feelings, and He Zai can also see that Zhou You is sincere.

This is also a choice for you. If you are short of money, then sell the copyright first to get some blood back.

If you are not short of money, then wait slowly, it may take a long time.

He Zai is not sure. He has retirement pension and self-employment allowance every month. He is not short of money in the short term, but he still wants to ask for more information.

"Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask, if I sell the copyright, how much can I sell?"

Zhou You smiled: "How much do other families give you?"

He Zai's face was a little red and it was hard to say anything, but he still said bravely: "Tens of thousands of dollars."

In the early stage, I already had several sample films, and through the channels I found, I also asked many companies, but either they didn't accept it at all, or they only had such a small amount of money.

I was angry at that time, very angry.

But the reality is this situation, there is really no way, and there is no broadcast channel.

Zhou You nodded, why do you ask this? There is also the idea of ​​​​a test in it. There are filters on the Internet. There is a big difference between real people and online, and the personality is also very different.

Many young people fall in love with someone because of a character in a TV series, and they think it's ridiculous. The most incredible thing is that they also think that the character of the character on TV is consistent with the character of the real person.

It's really a bit hard to understand.

"Director He, let's do this. Show me your sample. If I like it, I can buy it starting at 50 yuan."

"If you are not short of money, I suggest you wait slowly. When the time comes, I will arrange the company's operation and distribution, and then get the share."

Zhou You has laid out two paths, and the amount has also increased a lot.

In the documentary industry, it’s almost a high price.

He Zai was a little excited after hearing this. He was about to catch up with his job transfer fee.

But if you think about it carefully, your filming expenses are all provided by others, so you will definitely not be cheated.

Nodding resolutely: "Mr. Zhou, I listen to you and I will get a share." (End of Chapter)
