The departure of Beyoncé and her child made Chen Feng's family feel very unhappy. Especially Elaine Chao, who wiped tears on the spot when she saw her granddaughter being taken away.
On the way back in the car, Chen Feng was even scolded and scolded all the way, which made Chen Feng beat him up. Chen Dayong felt sorry for his son and said a few words of help, which also attracted Zhao Xiaolan's indiscriminate attacks.
Zhao Xiaolan, who was in a rage, was invincible, at least Chen Dayong and Chen Feng were completely invincible.
Finally, she arrived at the villa in Jinzhishan. Chen Feng taught her how to use the computer, and she stopped being angry.
The reason why she wants to learn computers is because she wants to video chat with Beyoncé in the United States and see her precious granddaughter.
Chen Feng has bought her a brand new laptop, and has downloaded and installed an international version of communication software that can conduct video chats online. Computer network technology in this era is still very developed, but mobile networks are not yet very advanced.
With great development, the technical level is almost the same as that of the 1990s in the original time and space that Chen Feng traveled to.
In this era, if people want to contact relatives and friends abroad, long-distance calls are relatively expensive, so they usually use free communication software to communicate. As long as both parties have relatively smooth networks, even video conversations will not cause much trouble.
Stuck and stopped.
Previously, Chen Feng personally taught his parents how to use communication software video. As for the specific how to operate the computer and how to use the keyboard, he has not yet taught them in detail.
In order to avoid being scolded by his mother again, Chen Feng patiently became a computer teacher. This teaching lasted an afternoon.
One teaches with heart, and the other learns with heart. Zhao Xiaolan has also learned the basic operations of the computer, especially the operation of communication software, and she is already familiar with it.
When the three of them had dinner together, Elaine Chao asked: "When will Beyoncé arrive in the United States?"
"It will definitely have to be tomorrow. It will take at least fifteen hours to go back. She still has jet lag. The fastest I can contact her is almost early tomorrow night. However, I suggest contacting her in the morning the day after tomorrow. At that time
, it happens to be night over there."
"Doesn't it mean we have to wait two days?" Zhao Xiaolan was a little unhappy.
"Not counting two days, it's already night now, just one day tomorrow, and you can contact her at seven or eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. You can also see Nina by then."
Zhao Xiaolan nodded reluctantly. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, she sighed again: "Oh. She doesn't know if she can take care of Yaoyao alone? She came back from our side to that side all at once. I really
I’m afraid that Yaoyao won’t adapt to the environment.”
Chen Feng quickly said with relief: "No. Mom, don't worry. Yaoyao is a mixed race, her genes are very strong, and her body is generally much better than other children."
"I hope so. Alas. I'm not with her, and I don't know if she will miss me?"
Chen Dayong said inappropriately: "She was only born a few days ago? What do you know? You don't have to worry about it."
"What do you know? Newborn babies are the most sensitive. As long as they are held by another person, they will recognize it immediately."
"Okay, okay. She will definitely miss you. If you really miss her, when your son goes to the United States, you can go with him."
"Do you think I don't dare to go? When the time comes, I will go with my son and leave you, an old man, alone at home. Xiaofeng, when will you go to Meijian Country?"
Chen Feng was a little helpless, but he still answered truthfully: "Ten days and a half."
Zhao Xiaolan frowned and said: "Didn't you say that you would like to develop your career in Hollywood in the future? Is there anything else in China that will keep you busy for so long?"
Zhao Xiaolan usually doesn't care much about Chen Feng's career. It's useless to care about it. She doesn't understand these things at all.
"Don't I still run a company here? There are a lot of things waiting for me to be busy. Ten days and a half is the most conservative time. I can't go to the United States until the things are finished."
"Okay, okay. You just need to hurry up. Also, help me get that passport, my overseas passport."
Chen Feng said with a headache: "Mom, do you really plan to go to the United States?"
Zhao Xiaolan glared and said: "Is this false? Anyway, I have nothing to do in China. Staying anywhere is not just a stay. I might as well go to the United States to take care of my granddaughter."
Chen Dayong glared and said: "You bitch, are you kidding me? Are foreign countries so easy to visit? You are unfamiliar with the place and you don't speak a foreign language. How do you communicate with people there?"
"Isn't there a son and Beyoncé? I have thought about it. I will live with Beyoncé over there. I will help her take care of the child. She will be very happy. She can speak Mandarin pretty well, and I can talk to her.
She communicates with her and takes care of the kids on a daily basis. Whenever my son is free, I let him take me out for a walk."
"Mom, are you serious!" Chen Feng really had a headache. It is conceivable that if his mother went to the United States and stayed at Beyoncé's house, she would definitely cause him a lot of trouble. One of them is a very difficult problem.
That is, how to hide this from Miranda. Before, I just hid the birth of a child with Beyoncé. Once my mother passed away, I had to hide it so that she could see her mother.
"Of course I'm serious." Zhao Xiaolan said with a serious face, "Yao Yao is still so young, and Beyoncé said she has to go to work and sing, so she should be left completely to the nanny. Don't worry, I don't. She must be in her own home.
It’s better if people take care of you.”
Chen Dayong said full of resentment: "Then what should I do?"
Zhao Xiaolan said shamelessly: "What do I care about you?"
Chen Dayong was very embarrassed when she said that. Fortunately, there were only three of his family in the villa now, so he didn't get angry. After saying that things are different now. Ever since his son Chen Feng became rich, Zhao Xiaolan, who had always been a bit submissive, was
Mother is more valuable than her son, and she was completely shaken. Not to mention that everyone respected her outside, even at home, because he was not working now, Zhao Xiaolan easily controlled him. His status as the head of the family was somewhat in name only.
Chen Feng sympathized with his father and helped him: "How about you go with me, Dad?"
Zhao Xiaolan shook her head and said: "No. It's okay for me, an old woman, to stay at Beyoncé's place. Why would he, an old man, go with me?"
Chen Feng had no choice but to say: "Dad, you can stay at my place."
Zhao Xiaolan still shook her head and said: "Let's forget it. Usually he is shy about letting him go outside the province. If he goes abroad, won't he be bored in the house every day? It's better to let him stay in his hometown more comfortably."
Chen Feng asked Chen Dayong: "Dad, what do you think?"
Chen Dayong couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only mutter: "It would be inappropriate for me to follow the past. Besides, there must be someone to look after the house in my hometown, right?"
Chen Feng was speechless. Zhao Xiaolan had a look of contempt as expected.
Chen Dayong pretended not to see it and asked instead: "How long do you plan to stay there?"
Zhao Xiaolan said angrily: "Of course I can stay as long as I can."
Chen Feng said: "With a tourist visa, you can only stay for a maximum of three months."
Zhao Xiaolan said without hesitation: "That will be enough for three months."
Chen Dayong's face suddenly turned bitter. If an old man didn't have a woman to take care of him, his life would definitely be very uncomfortable.
Chen Feng said: "Mom, you don't have to stay so long. Next time I go there, I will only stay for a month or two at most and then come back. Then you come back with me."
Zhao Xiaolan thought for a while and then said: "We'll talk about this later. Anyway, I'll go over and talk about it first. You can help me get a passport to go abroad first."
Chen Feng nodded and agreed.
Because Chen Feng will go abroad in ten and a half days, the two elders do not plan to return to their hometown, so they stay together at the Jinzhishan Villa.
One day later, Elaine Chao finally had a video call with Beyoncé, and saw her precious granddaughter through the camera who had not seen her for more than a day.
The call lasted for almost an hour before it ended. Afterwards, Zhao Xiaolan, who was wiping away tears, became more determined to go to the United States to take care of her granddaughter. Chen Dayong had no say in this.
After Chen Feng's affairs at home came to an end, he continued to work on how to make Li Dazhi famous. The current focus is of course to wait for the post-production of the micro-movie "Oldboy" to be promoted on a large scale.
For this reason, Chen Feng directly handed over the publicity plan to Li Dazhi. This was a matter related to his own future stardom, and Li Dazhi was certainly very concerned about it.
In addition, Chen Feng has been taking the time to tailor-make a movie for him in the past few days. Li Dazhi, who needs looks but not looks, and acting skills but not acting skills, wants to make him as popular as Chu Jianlin with just one movie
It is still very difficult to become a quasi-A-list star.
But you have to give it a try. However, this film is not in a hurry because before filming this film, Chen Feng planned to let Li Dazhi release a music album first to further make him famous as a singer. For this reason,
, and also selected three songs from his own music library based on the characteristics of his voice. As for the other songs, Chen Feng planned to let Li Dazhi do it himself.
Compared with Li Dazhi's appearance and acting skills, his musical talent is still quite good. Over the years, he has also composed a lot of songs in private, but the level is uneven, and most of them are more rock-oriented. This means
It doesn't quite fit the character profile given to him by Chen Feng.
The character set by Chen Feng is that of a pop singer and comedian.
When he came to the company that day, Chen Feng told Li Dazhi his plan. Of course, Li Dazhi had no objections to releasing an album, but was overjoyed. It's just that he didn't have much confidence in the songs he created.
Before, if Li Dazhi, a cheap apprentice, had no self-confidence, his cheap master would be too lazy to take care of it. But it is different now. With the system mission in hand, Chen Feng, the master, must be outstanding.
So, Chen Feng took Li Dazhi to the piano room and asked him to play and sing to him some of his most famous songs he had composed over the years.
Although Li Dazhi seemed a little embarrassed, at Chen Feng's insistence, he still sang a few self-composed songs that he thought were the best.
After hearing this, Chen Feng was really disappointed. He said to himself, you are indeed very self-aware.
However, again, in order to complete the system tasks, he, the master, could only encourage Li Dazhi, the cheap apprentice.
"Although these songs of yours are not great works, they still have some outstanding features. I think you can make some modifications to make them more perfect."
Chen Feng's words improved Li Dazhi's self-confidence a lot. At the same time, he was very moved and said with some emotion: "Master, I have always dreamed of getting a little recognition from you. Now I have finally waited. I know that my own creative level is as good as
You can't compare, but I am your apprentice after all. If I don't have any skills that I can use, I would really be ashamed of you."
Chen Feng resisted the urge to slap him on the head and asked instead: "Of the five songs you just heard, there were only two rock songs, and the rest were ballads. Has your personal style and style changed?"
Li Dazhi nodded and said: "Rock and roll was my dream when I was young. In fact, it is the same now. But now I am more reserved and connotative. Therefore, I think folk songs are the most suitable. In addition, there are not many well-known folk singers in China.
There is still a lot of room for exploration in the field of folk songs."
Chen Feng nodded in approval and said: "You are right to think so. There are not many folk singers in China, and they were a bit niche before. But I believe that there will be more and more folk songs for the sake of folk songs, and the people will also be interested in folk songs.
I like it more and more. So now that you enter the folk field, you have a head start. In this way, your first album will be in the folk style. I will tailor three songs for you, and you must prepare at least seven songs.
It’s best if you create them all yourself. If that doesn’t work, just spend money and buy original ones.”
Li Dazhi shook his head and said, "That's not okay. I would rather sing someone else's song than let someone else write it for me."
Chen Feng nodded in approval and said: "I hope you remember what I just said. Creation is a very sacred thing. If you can't do it, don't do it if you can't do it. I'll give you three folk-style songs tomorrow.
I hope this song can give you some inspiration, and then you can think about it carefully and strive to create better works."
Li Dazhi nodded seriously.
Chen Feng was busy trying to promote Li Dazhi, and asked Su Qian to help him apply for his mother's overseas passport.
It is easy to get a tourist visa to the United States, not to mention that Zhao Xiaolan is the mother of a big star like Chen Feng. The family relationship column was filled in in detail, and the visa was obtained in minutes.
On this day, the post-production of the "Oldboy" micro-movie was finally completed. Chen Feng held a small movie viewing party inside the company.
After everyone watched it, everyone was full of praise for the micro-movie and the response was very good. Susie immediately suggested selling the micro-movie for money.
Chen Feng originally planned to make this micro-film available for free viewing on the entire Internet, that is, upload it on all video websites for free viewing by netizens.
But Susie made a suggestion to exclusively authorize a certain video website, whichever video website offers the highest price.
At present, there are five major video websites in China. Competition among each other is fierce. As long as the "Oldboy" micro-movie is good enough, these five video websites will naturally fight each other and offer higher prices.
