The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 439: My thighs are swollen
Zhou You looked at the students below, and for the first time, he didn't name them.

There is a trace of pity in his eyes. He is carefree now, which is wrong. Many people are also worried.

However, the sorrow now is nothing compared with the sorrow in the future.

After this year, the cost of living for most people will rise directly, or even double. The root cause is house prices, which will directly double.

Just like what is said in the book "The Age of Overwork",
Is overwork dangerous? If it is very big for an individual, he will have no time, no energy, and no self.

Is it harmful to Japanese rulers? Not big in the short term, because the sequelae cannot be revealed in the short term, such as family problems, marriage problems, pension problems, and education problems. These problems will last for at least 10 years after they break out.
Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Let’s talk about the future later. Let’s talk about the present first.

You think rulers have a long-term vision, take every step step by step, and make no mistakes. In fact, their butt determines their head, and their own interests determine policy formulation.

Up and down are not integrated at all, but it is ridiculous to try to rely on others to solve your own difficulties.

"I'm here to say sorry to my classmates. Due to personal reasons, I have delayed a lot of your classes. I don't know if you like the substitute teacher." No matter what, Zhou You still has to say nice things.

The students below were all laughing.

"it is good."

"very good."

"Easy to understand."

Teacher Zhou is not here, so the pressure in class is much less. Although everyone does not skip class, it does not mean that they must listen carefully in class.

It's nice to touch fish occasionally.

Even if it is a traveling class, it is very boring when teaching textbooks. It is only interesting when it is combined with reality and one's own experience.

"Whether it's true or not, I believe it anyway." Zhou You chuckled.

"We are students of library science. We not only need to learn professional knowledge, but also learn to read, read interesting books, and read books that interest us. We cannot prepare books for others every day and don't read them ourselves. That would be really boring. Baoshan, and returned empty-handed." Zhou You still couldn't help but say.

Today's students have more channels to obtain information than they did back then, and their mobile phones are never far away from them.

"Then teacher, can you give us a list of books that are suitable for us to read?" A brave student below said.

Zhou You shook his head: "You are all used to it. Others give you book lists, and then you just use them. Don't forget what our major is?"

"We have a professional course called "Information Retrieval," which I believe everyone knows."

"Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. Everyone's situation is different, and the current stage of compulsory education is also different. There is no universal book list. Everyone can start with their own hobbies."

Looking at the students below, they were a little overwhelmed.

Traveling around is a bit sad. Today’s students really don’t know what to say. They are all utilitarian. They want to read useful books and want to use them immediately after reading them.

Of course, we can’t blame them for this. From childhood to adulthood, the education they received was to apply what they learned and learn useful books.

What about success studies, high emotional intelligence, how to interact with people, etc., few people expand their reading on books that interest them. This has the effect of doing so, but the consequences are also great, that is, they will slowly lose the fun of reading. , the simple and pure pleasure of reading.

"For example, girls like to watch historical dramas, palace battles and the like. You can't just watch the plot. You can also find out whether the food, clothing, housing and transportation of this dynasty are the same as ours now. Many of the things we are accustomed to now are in It didn't exist in ancient times." Zhou You talked eloquently there.

The students below finally responded and began to think thoughtfully.

"Men are more interesting. Some like weapons, and some like games. Have any classmates ever thought about what children used to play? Has anything changed over the thousands of years?"

"These are interesting things."

Hearing this, the students below began to whisper to each other, and the atmosphere became lively.

Seeing this, Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief. This teacher's dignity has been maintained. Teachers are not only rich and resourceful, but also thoughtful.

Many things are easy to say but very boring to do, unless you are really interested. Besides, studying these things is really useless, or in other words, it has no direct help in making a living, and there is no way to become competitive in a short time. .

However, what promotes human thinking and progress is actually interesting in many cases.

After boasting a lot, Zhou You felt refreshed, and get out of class was over under the admiring eyes of his classmates.

It’s cool to pretend to be realistic!
He originally wanted to stay in New York for a few more days, but Shen Beipeng had begun to introduce him to some people in Hollywood, and was also planning to take him to a dinner party.

As a local, Zhou You was still very interested, and he made an appointment and was ready to go.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mi made several calls in a row, saying that she was unsure about several major projects, and it was hard to explain on the phone, so she had to report in person.

Zhou You thought about it for a while, and realized that there would be many opportunities in the future, so he came back first.

However, after Sun Li was no longer in the capital, Zhou You didn't really want to go, so she asked Yang Mi to come find him.

"Brother You, I'm really not sure. They are all big directors in the industry. They have told me several times, but the investment is too big and I dare not make the decision. Is this a script?" Yang Mi looked at these familiar people in the Zhulang Pavilion. The furnishings are also made from the heart.

It was here that I broke through alone, and it was here that I deepened my relationship.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that no, this time, it seemed that I had done it myself.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth, why, why do I always have such a short memory, and come here in such a hurry, hey, let's take care of it as it comes, it depends on God.

"Why did you cover your mouth?" Zhou You was a little curious. He was reading the script. Where are you doing this for me?

"I ate leeks for lunch, and I just burped. I'm afraid it'll catch you." Yang Mi was also willing to risk herself.

Zhou You waved his hand and asked her to sit on the sofa next to him, farther away from him.

Then I started reading the script.

It's a pity that I don't have much impression. The directors are all great directors. It turns out that there are so many famous directors who have failed.

No wonder the entertainment industry doesn’t dare to make big investments.

"What's going on with this Taiping Wheel? Additional investment halfway through?" Zhou You was a little confused.

Yang Mi put her hands down, narrowed her eyes, and put her legs together: "Yes, I have come here several times, trying to get investment, at least 100 million, starring International Chapter, Director Wu's return."

Zhou You put down the script, raised his legs on the table, and said with a smile: "It's impossible to vote. I'm not interested in this script, but you can think of a way to spread the word and attract other companies, especially those Several companies, let them intercept the confusion, don’t they like to follow us to grab resources?”

"No matter how many times I'm tricked, I won't be afraid and won't stop." Yang Mi nodded. It was because she was worried about these things that she needed to report them in person.

Zhou You really doesn’t want to do this.

But the world is like this. If you eat a few more bites for nothing, then someone will eat a few less bites, and naturally they will be dissatisfied.

As for making the cake bigger and sharing some of it with everyone?
Don't be too naive. If you really have this ability, you won't have to trick your own people all the time. They are all the bosses in the nest. How many of them can get out?
"By the way, Brother You, and Ali also have a big investment, called the Ferryman, the investment is quite large, and they are looking for contacts in the industry, the one you just saw." Yang Mi could not have imagined that she was sitting there So far, still not out of the damn fate.

There is no way to see half of it and not care about it.

I still like to pat my thighs, and I’m not afraid of making my thighs swell.

Yang Mi smelled the mouth she had just rinsed. Fortunately, there was a slight fragrance.

Zhou You was also very pleased to see Yang Mi practicing her cherry bite. An old driver is an old driver, with great skills and endless aftertaste.

"We won't invest, but we'll be a little more tactful and say that funds are tight, but it's still the same routine." Zhou You leaned back on the sofa, feeling relaxed and relieved.

Yang Mi nodded. These big companies like to make big investments and get big returns. They don't care about small money and don't want to make small money. I don't know what the mentality is. The money of big companies comes from strong winds. I still want to Show off your power and become a hit?
It’s better to run your own company, work slowly and slowly, and run quickly with small steps.

Zhou You himself doesn't like big investments, and rarely invests in projects worth hundreds of millions. Unless there are special reasons, most of them are small projects that make a big difference, or projects that don't slip through the cracks, which are very safe.

The key is, the profit is high.

This year Yang Mi always holds her head high wherever she goes. She is also a guest of major companies and TV stations. She makes fun of her and has three successes in variety shows, TV shows, and movies. This is not bad.

As for documentaries, they are all familiar and incidental, and they do not make any money. They are just a personal hobby of the boss.

"By the way, Brother You, someone came to me some time ago and said they wanted to talk about importing films from abroad." Yang Mi didn't want to talk about this at first, but she was worried that Zhou You had other ideas. She also knew that he had been abroad a lot recently. I don’t know if I am busy with these things.

When Zhou You heard this, he became interested and sat up: "I have always been curious about what these imported films have to say. Can I introduce whatever I want?"

When Yang Mi heard this, she patted her forehead with her hand. This was because she was looking for trouble. Zhou You didn't know. What she said here was not enough to cause trouble for herself, but she had already spoken, so it would be inappropriate not to say anything.

After thinking about it, I tried my best to choose something easy to understand and said: "The number of films imported from abroad is limited every year, and a quota system is implemented."

"Is it the same as the previous food stamps?" Zhou You asked.

"Yes, it probably means the same thing. Theoretically, a maximum of 64 units can be imported every year. I don't know if what I said is accurate. Brother You, there may be some discrepancies." Yang Mi was not sure either, although she was in the circle. , but only partially understood.

Zhou You said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've gained some knowledge. It turns out I really don't know these things."

Ordinary people don't care about these things. If they want it, they can read it. If they don't, they can read it online.

Everyone usually goes to the cinema to watch blockbusters, otherwise they feel at a loss.

"Theoretically, only two agencies can introduce foreign films, but in reality, they only take care of the big ones, and the small ones either have to negotiate on their own, and then affiliate themselves to these two agencies. Anyway, they can't avoid these two." Yang Mi continued. .

When Zhou You heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Is this the kind of business you can get into?"

The subtext is that there are only so many films in a year and there are so few designated institutions. You silly girl, don’t be fooled. It doesn’t matter that outsiders are involved.

Yang Mi understood what Zhou You meant and said with a smile: "Brother You, there is a cost to introduce it. Besides, who can guarantee that movies will be a hit at the box office and the cost will be recovered."

This sentence wakes me up. Yes, we are losing money every year. Who would bring it in? Even if we are held accountable from above, we can’t handle it.

“However, they are also divided into buy-out films and split-account films. The split-account films are guaranteed to make a profit without any loss. You don’t have to pay any money, just share the accounts proportionally. We cannot participate in these types of products, as they are all for 3D and IMAX. "

"The rest is to buy out the pieces, that is, to approve the pieces. This leaves room for everyone to operate."

"An individual or a company first goes abroad to find film sources, and then buys out the exclusive domestic broadcast rights at one time. This is the completed film. The next step is to negotiate with the two agencies first, and then after approval, it is released. Everything else is the same. ”

After Zhou You heard this, he pondered for a long time. These people were just playing tricks. How did their brains grow? How could outsiders know these things?

"Can I make money?" Zhou You asked.

Yang Mi shook her head: "It's also difficult. There are too many intermediate links and too many uncontrollable factors. The relationship must be strong and the people must be familiar. Otherwise, if one link is delayed, it will probably be in your hands."

Zhou You couldn't help laughing and pointed at Yang Mi.

"Who told you this? You have no good intentions. We have not yet established our own domestic market, and we are starting to think about going abroad."

It’s true, everyone has begun to use the strategy of praising and killing, that is, silly Yang is easy to deceive, otherwise whoever comes up with such a bad idea is making money, and it’s faster to pick up the money yourself!
Yang Mi was shocked and then realized what she was doing.

Yes, it may seem like a good thing, but in fact it is just to distract yourself, or to make yourself step into some pitfalls.

Madhu, his heart can be killed.

Yang Mi is an actor herself and doesn't have much say in the industry. She is very good at traveling around, but she hasn't fully emerged yet. She still needs to work hard in other areas, so she can be considered a half-amateur.

There are no good people in the entertainment industry.

"Hey, Brother You is right. I almost got carried away. There is enough for us at home, but we can be greedy over there." Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief. It's a good thing she asked, otherwise she would have lost money by doing it herself. Not to mention, it is the most cruel thing to involve Zhou You's energy and his own energy.

Human time is limited, so if you put your energy here, you will pay less attention to other places.

Zhou You thought for a while and patted his thigh.

This time Yang Mi sat on it very obediently.

"You, please don't forget your original intention. What did we plan to do at the beginning? What did you plan to do at the beginning?"

"Although your original goal has been achieved and you want to achieve a bigger goal, you still have to act within your ability. You must not be greedy for everything. You must be content. Do you understand?" Zhou You was also a little distracted and wanted to suppress the momentum. pressure.

Yang Mi nodded and muttered: "Contented, contented!"

Only then did Zhou You feel satisfied. It is not easy to cultivate a talent. It is difficult to cultivate a talent, but it cannot be ruined. He still has to pay more attention to it and not be careless.

To completely let go is to harm others and yourself.

All I can say is that I have been paying too little attention recently, which almost led to a big mistake.
