Chapter 289 Music Short Film(1/2)
September 1965, the beginning of another school year.
Zhou Qingxian and her three siblings have entered the second grade. Their study tasks will be heavier and they need to work harder.
"Dad, we will definitely study hard."
The three children went to school, and two little guys, Liang Wanzhou and Zhou Xiaobai, also followed and did not stay at home.
Ever since they heard their father talk about the selection criteria for astronauts yesterday, they have become serious.
It's just that it's hard to say whether it's a three-minute heat.
"Okay, dad believes in you, go ahead."
After sending the children to school, the house became deserted.
Except for the two little guys Xiaowan and Xiaojing, and the little steamed bun Xu Ning, there are no other little kids in the family.
These three little guys are not as noisy as their older brothers and sisters, because they are still very young and spend most of their time sleeping.
After listening to the astronaut selection criteria last night, the third child was still somewhat unconvinced.
No, today is the first day of school. I got up early and went to study.
However, the fourth child still went his own way and was not affected too much.
After all, one of the selection criteria for astronauts is that they must not be nearsighted, and because he often reads and works late at night, his eyesight has seriously declined.
Although I am not yet nearsighted, I am not far away from wearing glasses.
Not to mention the little goldfish, she was only interested in making money. As for becoming an astronaut, after knowing the selection requirements, she shook her head and refused.
"Aunt Yang, I'm going out for a while, and I'd like you to help take care of the two children."
After staying in the study for a while, Zhou Jimin was ready to go out.
Mrs. Yang, who was taking care of her children, waved her hands and said it was no problem.
In fact, she is here more to accompany her two children, talk to Huang Zhaodi and Zhou Shuqing, and relieve her boredom.
Sometimes, Huang Xiaohua, who is pregnant, will come over to join in the fun.
Changing diapers and feeding children are mostly done by Zhou Shuqing or Huang Zhaodi. Sometimes Mrs. Yang wants to intervene, but she can't.
Therefore, rather than saying that she is taking care of the children, it is better to say that she is here to chat.
After leaving home, Zhou Jimin went to Sanwei Bookstore and took off from here to the small island in the south.
Central, Admiralty Street.
At this time, Zhou Jimin was taking Xiaoyue and his children shopping, mainly buying clothes for the children.
There is still too little entertainment in this era.
The amusement park only has simple facilities such as a carousel, and Disneyland has not yet landed on a small island.
Therefore, even shopping is relatively monotonous and boring.
"Jimin, Jiuzhou Huashang's sales performance has dropped very quickly recently. Your previous prediction was very accurate. Is there any way to improve it?"
While shopping, Guan Ling and the others still mentioned business matters.
"Business is slow during the peak season, so just be patient."
Zhou Jimin's mind is not on this. He is thinking about one thing, making some better music.
The main reason is that the entertainment in this era is too expensive and lacks some noisy atmosphere.
Especially the small town of June 4 was almost cut off from the outside world.
Therefore, he needs to find ways to create more entertainment to enrich their spiritual world.
Maybe scientific researchers like Xu Lei don’t need these things, but their families need them very much.
Zhou Jimin already has a rough idea on how to enrich everyone’s entertainment life.
What is easier to achieve is undoubtedly music.
He can copy good music and find someone to record it, or he or Xu Mei and others can record it themselves.
Music can actually be used in many situations.
For example, the musical fountain, in the central square of the June Fourth town, is actually in great need of such a musical fountain.
Then put a big screen on it and play some positive videos or movie trailer clips, etc., which would be very good.
After a while, he told Xu Mei and the other four girls his idea.
Before the four girls said anything, Zhou Qingyue and the others jumped up excitedly, expressing that they wanted to sing.
Then, without waiting for Zhou Jimin to say anything, they just started singing.
Not to mention, the clear childish voice, although very immature, is also very pleasant.
The songs are all relatively popular tunes on the market. Because there is a TV in the villa, the children can often watch TV and learn a lot by being immersed in it.
"Xiaoyue, Xiaoxu, you are really good and great. Do you want to be a big singer in the future?"
Listening to the children's voices, Zhou Jimin's eyes lit up.
He now has many children, and although he will not interfere with what the children will do in the future, if they are interested, he does not mind helping them.
The environment on the island is relatively free, and it will soon usher in an era of entertainment.
When they grow up, it will be the 1980s when Hong Kong entertainment is at its most prosperous.
So from now on, it is not impossible to train them into child stars.
As for those dark sides and the notion that wealthy families should not be exposed to the public, Zhou Jimin has none of them and will not let such a thing happen.
Protecting the children is in itself the responsibility and obligation of a parent, and it is also his code of conduct.
"Think!"
The children responded in unison. They didn't quite understand what a big star was, but their father's praise was enough to make them happy.
"Okay, then from now on, daddy will teach you how to sing, okay?"
"Thank you, Dad, Mom. Dad wants to teach us how to sing..."
The children were so happy that they turned around and shouted excitedly to their mother.
Qin Jingru and the others were very happy, but Xu Mei was a little worried. Would it be bad to let the child show up in public?
"As long as the children are happy, and you and I are taking care of the children and preventing them from being wronged, what do you have to worry about?"
Zhou Jimin explained:
"Besides, although our family is not short of money, if singing is a career, you can make money, accompany your children's growth, and record their lives with cameras. Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"

"What about companies like Apple Daily and Qihang Publishing House?"
"These are highly professional companies to begin with, but now aren't they handed over to dedicated personnel? Do you really want to do everything yourself?"
Guan Ling grasped the key point and asked like a money fan:
"Then are we going to set up a music company? How much does this investment cost? Is it profitable?"
"These are very simple. You can set up a music company yourself, or you can acquire it. You can consult Steven and Li Weibin and ask them to help collect and see which one is more cost-effective."
Regarding the music company's issues, Zhou Jimin does not intend to interfere too much.
Just like Qihang Publishing House, he is only responsible for producing works, leaving more detailed work to professionals.
Anyway, if you do well, your salary will be high; if you don’t do well, get out.
Qin Jingru and the other four girls are not just decorations. From time to time, they will go to the company to check the accounts and declare their sovereignty.
The second is the temptation of taking shares, and it is impossible for the management not to be tempted.
After all, they, the management, are very clear about the company's revenue and profits.
Even if they take dry shares, the annual dividends are higher than their current salary income.
Therefore, there is no reason why they should not be moved.
As for starting anew, that is impossible.
Whether it is Qihang Publishing House or Apple Daily, they are both highly professional companies. How can the management not know how to start and how to operate to the current scale?
Without the support of ideas and novels provided by Zhou Jimin, whether Qihang Publishing House and Apple Daily can survive is a big question.
Therefore, it is impossible to start from scratch.
The management are not fools. In addition, there is a non-competition agreement in the signed contract. With the ferocity of Steven and Li Weibin, the management will definitely not dare to act rashly.
"It's hard to say whether music companies, or record companies, make money..."
If you just sell records, you definitely won't make much money.
As for holding concerts and so on, we can only rely on other stars.
Just relying on Zhou Qingyue and the others to make soy sauce, there is no such thing as the main money-making force.
"Ah? Why?"
The four girls don’t quite understand. In their impression, there is no business that doesn’t make money when Zhou Jimin opens a company.
"To make money in a company, employees must work hard. Xiaoyue and the others are quite popular singers, so they must also be employees. Do you want to tire out the children?"
When he said this, the four girls came back to their senses.
But the children said they were not afraid of being tired and wanted to make a lot of money for their parents.
