Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 442: The Gift of a Famous Japanese Book
Before joining the Pujiang Film Studio and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, I would watch the behind-the-scenes footage of Pujiang TV stations just for fun.

This time the feeling is obviously different!

I saw people inside and outside the factory and in the streets and alleys talking about the "Pujiang Spring Festival Gala".

The leadership teams of these two factories soon began to pay attention to the issue.

"Lao Shi, call the TV station later..."

In the office of Shanghai Film Studio.

After watching the director of "The First Department Store Chorus" on TV again, Xie Jin looked at Deputy Director Shi and said:
"Just tell Gu Tai that if they have any more activities like this, they must remember to invite me along."

"That's what I said,"

Director Shi just sang along with the TV for a few lines: "It would have been great if we were there at the time!"

"Old Shi," Xie Jin said, "Do you remember the young man in the conference room that day?"

"deep impression!"

"What did he say at the meeting..."

Xie Jin thought to himself: "Facing a silent curtain, thousands of Chinese people sang in unison..."

At this point, Director Xie pointed at the TV and said, "Watch this program again. Is it the same as what he said at the time?"

"It's true. It's just as he said. As long as the atmosphere is good and people hear familiar songs, they will sing along without being asked!"

Xie Jin laughed: "This young man has a very active brain!"

Director Shi nodded: "I guess he had already thought about doing this at the time!"

"The key is the steps he choreographed," Director Xie closed his eyes and recalled:

“First there was the orchestra, then the recitation of the familiar lyrics.

Finally, famous singers such as Guo Lanying and Zhu Fengbo appeared on stage.

Who wouldn't be confused if they saw this on the spot? "

"Don't even mention seeing it in person," Director Shi said honestly, "I was just as excited watching it on TV!"

"No wonder both TV stations are looking for him to work," Xie Jin squinted and pondered for a while:
"No, I want to get in touch with him more when I have the chance. By the way, what's the boy's name?"

"Hiss..." Director Shi's brows tightened. "I think his name is Jiang... Jiang what's that?"

……

Not to mention outsiders, even Jiangshan himself looked very happy.

In the small courtyard of No. 51 as it got dark, every household was noisy.

Especially for the Jiang family, where three generations live together, the dining table has long been carrying a heavy burden.

Fortunately, this year, thank God, Jiangchuan and Ruhua both got into university, freeing up their places.

But Jiangshan has long been accustomed to eating in his own room with a bowl in his hand.

At this moment, he took the two little ones to sit alone in front of the TV.

The broadcast time of "Astro Boy" is not something you can miss.

This was shown to Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, who both ate half a bowl more of rice.

"How about it?"

Uncle San, who was sitting at the desk, was chatting on the phone across the ocean: "What did they say when they met?"

Yu Sigui on the other end of the phone was also watching "Astro Boy".

However, the Japanese TV stations are already broadcasting the color version of "Astro Boy" this year.

Yu Sigui sat on the sofa, pressing a red and yellow French fry light:

"After seeing the toy samples, McDonald's was very satisfied and even said they wanted to increase the order!"

"Is it?"

Jiang Shan was amused when he heard this: "Did they really say they would increase the order?"

"Of course," Yu Sigui looked at the French fry lamp in his hand: "This toy is really well made. I like it very much."

"Great! I will tell Director Xu the good news tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go and finalize this matter tomorrow."

"Not bad, Mr. Yu," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "If you continue to develop like this, your Dadi will soon join the ranks of patriotic enterprises!"

"You don't even need to tell me that," Yu Sigui said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, don't forget that the predecessor of our Dadi Advertising was originally a Chinese newspaper."

"Yes, yes, how could I have forgotten about this."

"Uncle San," Jiang Xiaoyu also understood now, "Are you calling Aunt Sisi?"

"Why? You want to talk to her?"

"No," Jiang Xiaoyu turned around and continued to look at the TV: "Please say thank you to Aunt Sisi for me."

"Thank her for what?"

"Thank you for giving me such a beautiful hair flower last time."

"Did you hear that?"

Jiang Shan said into the phone: "Xiao Yu is saying thank you to you!"

"I heard it..." Yu Sigui listened happily: "Xiao Yuer still has a conscience."

"Are you saying this to me?" Jiang Shan held the phone.

"Oh, did you hear that?"

"If I can't hear it so obviously, I'd be a fool."

"That's right," Yu Sigui, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, clicked the light in his hand:

"Every time before I go back, I will carefully pick out a few gifts for you, but what about you?"

"It's not possible in China," Jiang Shan said.

"Besides, didn't I buy you a Barbie house last time in New York?"

"That doesn't count. I asked for it."

"Okay then," Jiang Shan thought carefully, "I will also carefully prepare a gift for you this time."

"Really?" Yu Sigui immediately sat up straight on the sofa: "What's the gift?"

"This is a gift that will let the whole country know your company."

"You want to advertise our company?"

"I don't have that kind of spare money..."

Although Jiangshan himself received 20 yuan from McDonald's:
"This year will be over in two months, so it's time for your company to hold a team-building event."

"Team building?" Yu Sigui had heard Jiang Shan say this once before: "Are you talking about group activities?"

"That's right!"

"What kind of collective activity can make everyone in Japan know about Dadi Company?"

"Do you remember the 'All Day Costume Awards' held by NTV at the end of last year?"

"..."

Yu Sigui was stunned for a moment: "You, you are not asking our company to participate in that program?"

"That's it," Jiangshan thought.
"What a great program! If you win first place, not only will you get a 100 million yen bonus, but your company will also be known to audiences all over the country."

"Comrade Jiangshan,"

Yu Sigui decided to wake up the comrade on the other end of the phone: "All of what you said is based on winning the championship."

"I didn't say no."

As Jiang Shan spoke, he had already opened the storyboard on the table: "Just wait, I'll send you this gift in two days!"

Since the debut of "Super Mutant" in 1979, it has been one of the most popular programs in Japan.

How could Jiangshan miss such an opportunity that comes with both bonus and chance of going abroad?

So that night, he started to get busy again.

The storyboards of the participating program must be faxed to Yu Sigui as quickly as possible.

……

After reform and opening up, Pujiang City Children's Toys Industrial Company changed its name in early 1980.

Today, we have become an import and export enterprise integrating industry and trade.

Each of the several toy factories under its umbrella is seeking overseas business cooperation.

This afternoon, under the leadership of Xu Muchun, Jiang Shan and Jiang Zhuangzhuang walked into the toy company.

As soon as you step into the toy exhibition hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a photo-taking bear in the window.

"Xiao Jiang, you have this toy at home too, right?" Xu Muchun knew it as soon as he saw Jiang Shan's expression.

"My eldest brother's child has been holding it every day for a while," Jiang Shan said, looking at the window: "This toy should sell well, right?"

"The best-selling toys are this and the tin frog,"

The manager of the toy factory nearby introduced: "They are also very popular in Southeast Asia." The group walked along the display windows, and the further they walked in, the more amazing things they saw.

Things like the little monkey that can climb a wire or a pole, the tin tank, the egg-laying hen... each of them is a representative work of the Pujiang Toy Factory.

Afterwards, everyone came to a toy workshop accompanied by the toy factory leaders.

As soon as they entered the door, several people were attracted by the colorful toys inside.

"Look at Xiao Jiang,"

Xu Muchun pointed to the long tables in front of the rows of workers and said, "This is the workshop where McDonald's toys are produced."

"really not bad."

“It’s pleasing to look at.”

Jiang Shan and Jiang Zhuangzhuang each picked up one from the table.

The two boys had a lot of fun playing in the toy factory.

"Xu Ju,"

At this time, Jiang Shan approached Xu Muchun:

"The Japanese asked me to tell you something. They are very satisfied with the toy samples and have decided to increase the order."

"Really?" Xu Muchun said, "The other side responded."

"They have already mentioned this to Mr. Yu from Dadi Advertising," Jiang Shan said, "You'd better ask the comrades outside to keep an eye on it again."

"Did you hear that?"

Xu Muchun turned to look at Section Chief Han behind him and said, "Go and get this done right away."

"Okay, Director Xu."

After saying this, Section Chief Han immediately patted the toy factory leader who was traveling with him.

Before the two of them could say a few words, the toy factory leader's eyes lit up.

Xu Muchun, with his hands behind his back, picked up a plastic "ice cream cone" from the carton with a smile.

"Xu Ju,"

Taking advantage of everyone's good mood at this moment, Jiang Shan spoke:

"Director Xu, can you give me two boxes of toys?"

"Ok?"

Xu Muchun shook the cone in his hand: "The toys in this workshop?"

Jiang Shan nodded and said, "Didn't I bother the symphony orchestra and the music academy to shoot two scenes a few days ago?

I feel like I can’t let them make this trip in vain, right?”

"Of course not. How can we let our comrades make a wasted trip?"

Xu Muchun understood immediately, and he pointed to the box beside him and said:

"Take it. Take whichever two boxes you like."

Not to mention that Xiao Jiang made such a great contribution this time, but the toy factory only helped make a batch of small national flags.

Not to mention, those national flags are serving the public.

"Two boxes may not be enough,"

The toy factory leader was very thoughtful: "Why don't you move four boxes first, and call us later if it's not enough..."

Just like that, with the warm hospitality of the leaders, four large boxes of toys were delivered to Jiangshan's van.

"Boss, let me see how many are in this box."

Not long after the van started, Jiang Zhuangzhuang excitedly began to search on the cardboard box.

"Look at what you have accomplished,"

Jiang Shan started to curse while driving:
"If our advertising department runs for another two years, are you still afraid that you won't see advertising samples?"

Later on, balance bikes, laptops, and mobile phones will be no problem.

"Boss,"

When Jiang Zhuangzhuang heard this, he immediately spoke out his true feelings:

"Xiao Ding and I have already discussed it. From now on, we will go wherever you go."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Shan held a cigarette in one hand and the other on the steering wheel: "Where else can I go besides the newspaper office?"

"Anyway, we just have one word,"

Jiang Zhuangzhuang and Ding Lingling are ready to follow Ding Jiangshan:
"If you are in the newspaper office, we will be in the newspaper office; if you go out to start a company, we will go out with you."

Jiang Shan didn't say anything, he just smiled at Jiang Zhuangzhuang in the rearview mirror:
"Don't talk about this useless stuff. You should learn how to drive first."

"Okay!" Jiang Zhuangzhuang didn't think that thing was that difficult.

"I found it,"

He pointed to a line of Japanese characters on the carton and said, "This 50 should mean the quantity, right?"

"That's right,"

Jiang Shan looked back and said, "Tell Xiao Ding to learn English quickly."

"We are already learning,"

Since the day they saw Jiang Shan communicating with foreign guests without any obstacles, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Ding had this idea:

"When we chat in the office now, we often speak a few words in English," Jiang Zhuangzhuang said proudly.

"Look at what you two have done."

Jiangshan likes this kind of comrades who take the initiative to make progress:

"Starting tomorrow, I will join you. When the three of us are together, we will speak English together."

Jiang Zhuangzhuang: “…”

……

Soon, two of the boxes of toys were sent to the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra and the Pujiang Conservatory of Music respectively.

Every comrade who participated in the event that day was given a toy night light.

Although many comrades don’t know what a hamburger is?
But looking at these colorful little things, I am still very happy.

I quickly found the batteries, installed them and pressed the button.

With the praise and envy from all around, I couldn’t tell you how happy I was.

Especially those music school students who were assigned French fry lamps.

After finally waiting for the night to light up the "French fries".

The bright red base has French fry lights shooting upwards.

All the students in the dormitory were stunned.

It looks so dreamy no matter how you look at it!
If they didn't want to use up the batteries, they would have lit it all night long...

……

In the evening, Jiangshan walked into Courtyard No. 51 carrying a cloth bag.

From the moment he entered the door, every time he saw a child, he would put a night light in his hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiaobai."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

For a moment, all the children in Yard 51 were happily thanking Jiangshan.

After everyone ran home excitedly with their toys, every household lit up a unique and exquisite little electric light.

This, of course, includes the Jiang family.

Lying on the lower bunk of my little nephew's bunk bed.

Looking at Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, they were happily busy.

Jiang Xiaobai, who was standing by the light cord, looked at Xiaoyu anxiously: "Are you okay, sister?"

After carefully arranging the eight "McDonald's fries" on the table in a row.

Jiang Xiaoyu ordered his brother, "Turn off the lights."

The hut suddenly turned dark, and a long beam of light shot up into the sky.

Jiang Shandu looked at him and said "Wow" and sat up: "Hey, you two are quite good at playing."

After Xiaoyu and Xiaobai shouted in surprise.

Jiang He and Lu Xiao heard the noise and hurried over and opened the door.

After seeing this, the remaining night lights were taken away by the two of them...
