The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 402 The Troubles of Happiness

Yang Mi's phone calls have almost never stopped recently, and they are all congratulations.

Running Man has come to an end and has finally won the ratings.

National Championship.

The company made a lot of money, and Diba, a little actor with no representative works, also became famous.

Movie appointments keep coming.

This is especially true for TV series. The ones Zhou You has given are hits almost every month.

The song "Wukong" has also been found and is still under discussion. "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is very satisfied with this theme song.

Generally speaking, there is no problem. It's just a matter of time difference. This song is for singing in variety shows and competing in the arena. I haven't decided which one to give priority to yet.

Singer Dai Quan is participating in The Voice and has also received an invitation to write a movie theme song.

From a promotion point of view, both are similar. It’s hard to say how influential they are. It depends on the audience’s acceptance.

However, from the perspective of binding the theme song, the two parties have achieved mutual success, and it is also the most sparkling collaboration.

As for the variety show, it is just a show.

Of course, the most important thing is that Dai Quan didn't know where he knew that this movie was invested by Zhou You, and he also heard some allusions to Zhou You. The probability of this animated movie being a hit was relatively high.

In addition, he also recognized and appreciated the Zhouyou Music Fund.

After several weighings, we decided to give priority to cooperating with "The Return of the Great Sage". If it is exposed in advance, it will be exposed in advance. It is not a big deal.

It’s not like I can’t sing on stage.

If it really becomes popular, maybe it can attract a wave of popularity.

This is the first time for a live version.

Yang Mi is actually more worried now about completing the new task assigned by Zhou You: promoting the documentary.

Who doesn’t know the current environment? No one goes to watch documentaries or social and humanistic documentaries. Life is already so miserable. Watching these terrible things will make your heart even more tired.

Know how, don't know so what.

Most of them are on the surface, hidden deep in the heart, and there is still no relief.

"Brother You, my idea is to promote it across the entire network. Calculated based on the number of views, it will be used as an additional condition when we sign the authorization for the film to be played." Yang Mi has no choice but to make this decision. If she really has to go find it alone, what else can she do? It's really difficult.

Zhou You is watching the documentary sent to him, which is a feast for the eyes in advance.

"Well, just by doing this, I don't expect how much money I can sell. My goal is to have a broadcast channel so that everyone can see it if they want."

Make money?

I never expect documentaries to make money. If I did, to be honest, the meaning of documentaries would be lost to a large extent.

Maybe there will be a good combination in the future. At least for now, it is difficult to monetize documentaries.

There is no better way now, so this is the only way. Yang Mi has also specially arranged for a person to be responsible for the promotion of the documentary. The world is huge, and travel is the most demanding.

During the preparation process, the documentary began to spread in a small circle about this incident.

In particular, the emphasis is on social and humanities.

What's more important is the million-dollar cash prize.

Zhou Hao: "If you have any works, please participate. It doesn't matter if they are not from that year. Even if there is no cash prize, it will be promoted in a unified way later."

Chen Weijun: "Sign up, sign up, first support the place for Mr. Zhou, make it a lively event, don't let Mr. Zhou feel cold."

Xu Tong: "I'm a little sensitive, I wonder if I can participate?"

A number of documentary seniors began to appear on their own channels, and such information was spread back and forth in multiple groups.

However, the size is limited.

Alas, the number of domestically produced independent documentaries is still declining. There is not so much soil to nourish them, and traveling around is just a drop in the bucket. One person cannot support an industry, but at most he can keep the flame of this industry alive.

Most of the rest are part-time.

Without the support of my own job, it would be a problem to eat, let alone shine for my ideals.

There are also other documentaries that are not included in the scope of this broadcast for the time being, mainly to support independent documentaries. As for those with funds and channels, they will not look at things like travel.

Again, Zhou You likes to provide help in times of need, not the icing on the cake.

At the end of the day, I realized that there really wasn’t enough room for documentaries to be screened, so I had to relax the standards and include those from previous years.

This is enough for twenty documentaries, of varying lengths.

Whether it’s old or new, it doesn’t matter, we’ll talk about opening first.

Time flies, and it’s time for the documentary festival to be screened. During this time, Zhou You is too lazy to run, and has been recuperating at home.

I have watched all the documentaries sent to the exhibition.

Like a person who has been hungry for a long time and is full all of a sudden, he leans back comfortably on the chair and bask in the sun comfortably.

"Director He, I am going to set up a support fund specifically to help these needy groups in our documentary. Do you think it is feasible?"

Zhou You called He Zai.

He Zai is actually back, but he has been busy, and only Zhou You can pass him off.

"It's definitely feasible, but the standards for assistance are difficult to define."

"Especially those who are willing to be photographed by us have given us their image rights, which is one of the reasons why the documentary can be broadcast."

"However, many things about this assistance fund cannot be said in advance, otherwise the taste will change and the authenticity will be affected."

Zhou You listened and nodded.

Those with practical experience are different. They consider things more carefully and are more practical, and the suggestions they make are very pertinent.

Although the subject will inevitably be affected, this is normal.

As long as you come into contact with people, you will be affected, and it depends on whether it is beneficial or detrimental to the subject.

You can’t record just for the sake of recording, you still have to do something.

Otherwise, what’s the point of filming a documentary? The person involved doesn't get help and care, but do you expect people who watch the documentary to be kind?

The grand epic has nothing to do with Zhou You. For individuals who are in difficulty, Zhou You still wants to help.

After receiving the call, He Zai rushed back as soon as possible. Everything was ready and waiting for the opening ceremony on April 4.

"Brother You, the foundation of the fund is not urgent. Do you want to give the opening speech?" This is what bothers He Zai the most.

The speaker has not yet been determined.

Zhou You shook his head: "I like to keep a low profile, and it's not like I don't know. You can handle this, or you can ask Zhou Hao or Lao Chen. They have enough qualifications and can hold their own."

"Should we invite school leaders to participate?" He Zai was a little unsure.

"No, this is a private gathering. Let's see the effect this year. Everyone is a little worried." Zhou You said truthfully.

He Zai understood this when he heard this.

The risks are out of proportion to the rewards. The risks are really too great. There are still some potential risks in independent documentaries.

Whoever comes forward is equivalent to that person taking a stand.

We are all adults, and we have to consider the pros and cons carefully. Advise Xiangzi to read more,

Let Kong Yiji take off his gown!

Just listen to these words, who can take them seriously?

In the sea of ​​people,

both you and me,

Meet and get acquainted

Think about each other.

Zhouyou is now being considered, and a large number of documentary directors have gathered together again.

It is more than double the size of the last time it was held in Shanghai.

It doesn't cost any money, and it can also increase your knowledge. The documentary director is just a personality, not a fool. The big boss has spent real money to support it.

You have to create someone yourself, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Especially those who received investment in the early stage, one came earlier than the other.

"Teacher Zhou, this place is great. Look at the water, it's crystal clear, and the fountain. The park is really nice. No wonder you have to live in a big city. I wouldn't go if it were me." Director Zheng Qiong said with a look on her face. Said enviously.

When she came this time, she also brought her own documentary "The Way Out".

A project that was almost aborted in the first place, because Zhou You has come back to life, it can continue, and I plan to film it every few years to make a long series.

This is actually the idea of ​​​​traveling around. As long as they are willing, they can queue up a long series.

However, Zhou You is also preparing to shoot a Chinese version of "Seven Years in the Life". Some other countries and regions have already started filming, but there has been no movement here in China.

There are many difficulties, one is funding, and the other is that it is really difficult for the upper class to obtain materials.

People from the lower classes are easy to photograph. To be honest, there are people who record them, which is often an honor. I will also have something to think about when I get older.

In other words, it can be regarded as a highlight moment. After all, it is recorded by others. Most of the time, the people at the bottom will not attract people's attention and will not attract people's attention.

The middle level is also easy to find, and you can always find someone who is willing to express themselves and has a flamboyant personality.

Only the top management has the most difficulty. These groups are basically outside the rules. A little carelessness will cause backlash.

The same is true for the seven years of British life. Several upper-class people once quit filming, but later came back because of personal needs or because they really wanted to leave something behind.

But that’s for later.

Facing a group of documentary directors, Zhou You felt very friendly, yes, friendly and comfortable. This is how people of the same kind feel.

"The environment of this place is good, and the school atmosphere is better, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay." Zhou You said happily.

Zhou Hao sighed: "Teacher Zhou will still enjoy it. Whatever you want to see, just arrange it for us, haha."

"What do you mean, Director Zhou? How about I stop watching?" Zhou You knew they were joking.

"No, please don't. It's not easy to meet a big sponsor. If you don't like to see it, it will be even harder for us." Zhou Hao waved his hands repeatedly and patted his jeans with his hands.

I am used to wearing jeans, they are strong, durable and I like them.

Xu Tong was also invited this time, and he also brought a new documentary "Eye Digging", which Zhou You hadn't had time to watch yet.

"Director Xu, Xiaofeng didn't come this time?" Zhou You asked with some concern.

Tang Xiaofeng is one of the characters in the fortune-telling documentary, and she is also a strange woman. Because of the documentary, the two came together.

From the secular point of view, this is indeed a bit deviant. Considering Xu Tong's family background, there should be great resistance.

"She didn't come, she has something else to do." Xu Tong was not curious. This matter about him had been spread throughout the circle, but he didn't expect Zhou You to ask it in person.

Zhou You nodded regretfully: "Hey, I will treat Xiaofeng to dinner when I have the opportunity in the future. I have always admired her cheerful style. What a strange woman."

Xu Tong became happy when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his brows relaxed. He thought Zhou You would look down on her.

"Okay, I'll get her over here as soon as she's done."

"That's right. We finally have time to get together. Let her finish her work and tell me if she has any difficulties in the future. It's within her ability. I think it's okay." Zhou You sometimes likes this attitude towards life. .

Free and easy, generous and informal.

If we all live within the rules, what fun can there be in life?

The remaining people's perspective on traveling around has also changed, and they don't have much contact with it. In their impression, some people may think that traveling around is just for fun and curiosity, and they may not invest in it in the future.

Now that I saw this attitude toward Xiaofeng, I realized what I was doing.

Zhou You may be the same type of person as them, and he is also a person with his own ideas and pursuits.

Most people don't understand and look down on Xiaofeng, and they don't understand Xu Tong's behavior.

However, Zhou You's performance is very natural. In life, fame and wealth are important, but there are many other important things. People who work hard at the bottom have a certain tenacity and a certain attitude of refusing to admit defeat or accept their fate.

Even if it means death, I will take a few bites of your flesh.

Only in this way can we survive and have something to eat.

That's what Zhou You lacks, he doesn't have the spirit and courage to fight hard. Of course, he hopes that he will never encounter such a thing in his life.

Just when Zhou You was receiving various directors, Wu Jing arrived.

He also took a few people with him.

"Brother You, this is what I told you last time, retired brothers, what do you think?" Wu Jing went straight to the point without being polite.

The four people behind him are all capable young men.

Short, tight, and straight.

This is the first impression of traveling around.

"You're welcome. Sit down and stand like this. I'm very stressed." Zhou You said jokingly.

Wu Jing pointed to the sofa next to him: "You guys do it, don't worry about looking for me. Brother You is a university teacher and has both civil and military skills."

"I am familiar with these people. They are absolutely reliable. They all live here. It turns out that some of them are security guards, some are in logistics support, and there is also a very good driver."

Listening around and turning around.

"These are all talented people. Isn't it a pity to come to my place?"

"Hey, everyone has their own ambitions. This place is close to home and can take care of it." Wu Jing spared no effort in recommending it.

We all filmed with him, so we were not afraid of hardship or tiredness.

After retiring, there was no good place to go. Wu Jing took care of everything and wanted to find a living for them. He also recommended others.

But you have to be careful when traveling here, otherwise you won't be able to pass your own test.

"Okay, since Brother Jing recommended it, there must be no problem. Let's do this. You guys will work for a while and get used to it. If you think it works, then you can stay here. If it's not a good fit, we'll talk about it later."

Zhouyou is also in short supply of people and elites.

The stall is getting a bit bigger, and there are more and more people I want to take care of.

"Brother Jing, are there any suitable female soldiers? Can you recommend a few?" Zhou You is not afraid of raising people. Raising such a small number of people is nothing, it can also be regarded as promoting employment.

Wu Jing thought for a while, this was really hard to find.

Female soldiers are mostly treasures in the army, and the jobs they do are not menial jobs. Those who can do it and fight are all picked.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out and recommend anyone who is suitable."

It's interesting to think about it. It's a hodgepodge of people traveling around here, with talents from all channels.
