Chapter 227: The Old Lady's Words Wake Han Zhou Up
This time when Han Zhou came back, he went straight back to Lu Lake.
Han Zhou's father was fishing on the dock at the door.
Han Zhou's mother is cooking in the kitchen.
Han Zhou came back, dropped the box in the yard, and went to the dock.
Look inside the box.
Old Air Force.
Oops, this might be genetic.
Han Dongcheng turned around and saw Han Zhou looking at his empty bucket. He became angry and said, "Hey, you came back from so far away. Come and see your mother. What are you doing here?"
Han Zhou was happy: "Okay."
This villa has a western kitchen area and a central kitchen area.
In the words of Han Zhou's mother, it would be more reliable to convert the western kitchen area into a mahjong room.
The nanny hired by the family was about to call out to Han Zhou when she saw him, but Han Zhou put his index finger in front of his lips to signal her not to say anything.
Then he went into the house.
Han Zhou's mother thought it was her aunt who came in: "Ah Gui, give me that sieve. The cured pig's trotters are ready, and we can add the dried cowpeas."
Han Zhou handed over the dustpan.
Han Zhou's mother took the basket and saw Han Zhou's big hands. She turned around and saw Han Zhou smiling. She was startled: "Oh, you little kid, you scared me!"
Han Zhou laughed out loud: "Oh, twice-cooked pork."
Han Zhou's mother pushed Han Zhou: "Come out, come out, there's too much smoke, it's almost time to eat, call your husband back."
Han Zhou put away his luggage and called his father in. His father then said, "A few days ago, your fourth uncle came to our house."
Han Zhou thought for a moment: "Why did Fourth Uncle come to our place? To borrow money?"
"If you want to lend it to him, just lend it to him."
Han Dongcheng: "Han Sisheng."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Han Sisheng would come to his home specially when he returned to Shu Province this time.
You know, if he comes back with a public trip, the provincial leaders will meet him.
However, Han Sisheng never does this. This time he did not go back to Cangxi directly, but came to his own home.
Han Zhou: "Did you say anything? Did you bring anything?"
It’s best to ask these questions, otherwise you won’t know when the time comes.
After Han Dongcheng explained it, Han Zhou understood.
Han Sisheng just came to visit, and then Han Dongcheng and the others asked about some things in the entertainment industry. Han Sisheng said that Han Zhou now has absolute power in the entertainment industry and there is nothing wrong with him.
There were three black lines on Han Zhou's forehead.
However, after hearing what Han Sisheng said, his parents felt much more at ease.
At least, they felt that no one outside could bully Han Zhou.
After dinner, Han Dongcheng ate his food and said, "I have a friend who wants to see you. Can I ask him to come over later?"
"If you don't want to see it, forget it."
Han Zhou wondered, what kind of friends could his father have?
Han Dongcheng looked at Han Zhou with a question mark on his face: "Colleague."
Han Zhou reacted: "Shooting a promotional video or something? If I have time, I will shoot it. If I don't have time, there is no way."
This can be considered as public welfare publicity, so if you can participate, then participate.
Han Zhou had watched a show before and saw that the new season of "Real Challenge" had filmed an episode in Shudu, which was related to traffic police publicity and traffic safety.
I guess times have changed now, and the team is also considering expanding its influence through television and the Internet.
When the people really arrived, Han Zhou realized that he was wrong.
The other party came to ask for advice, not to ask him to shoot a promotional video.
"Our local Shudu TV station wants to make a traffic safety knowledge program. There are many people in Shudu who plan variety shows. When we were planning, someone mentioned that you are the son of Lao Han and said that the programs you plan are very good, so we thought of asking you for some advice."
Han Zhou recalled a show from his previous life.
It is well-known in the Chinese-speaking regions around the world.
Its ratings crush all TV programs in the country and it has been ranked first for many years.
Even after the show was taken off the air, the number of views of each episode on the Internet was still alarmingly high, and many things in the show became memes on the Internet.
Han Zhou: "I have three suggestions."
My dad’s old colleague was very serious and took out a notebook : “I’ll write it down.”
Han Zhou: "First, the host or the traffic policeman participating in the program should have a talent for performance and a foundation in crosstalk. He should also be knowledgeable and know everything, and have a positive image in all aspects."
"This is a basic condition. If every episode of a show is the same now, not many netizens will pay attention to it. Good-looking people are the same, but interesting souls are rare."
"Secondly, the program should be funny, with jokes and conversations. The topic of each episode can be different, and the speaker should be able to round the topic off and link it to traffic promotion."
"Third, the program must be authentic, without any acting. The host can catch traffic violations between the Third and Fourth Ring Roads in Shudu, and select the funniest one from the footage shot every day to broadcast."
Han Dongcheng pondered: "It must be true, but does it have to be funny? Traffic safety is a very serious matter."
Han Zhou: "Who among the current online audiences has the heart to watch you preach all day? Life is tiring enough, and watching programs online is just for fun."
"It would be best if it could be funny while also popularizing traffic safety knowledge."
"With the development of technology, we can also go for high-tech products, but the price will be high."
The traffic police officer heard this and said: "That's funny, but high technology is too expensive and we don't have much funding."
Han Zhou nodded and remembered the show in his previous life.
When that program was first filmed, it was still difficult for ordinary people to talk about the Internet.
By the time it went off the air, it was already 18 years in the previous life, which is almost the same era as the technological development of the world today.
The Shudu in this world has only just started this program at this time, which is actually a bit late.
However, that doesn’t mean this show is meaningless.
Anyone who often follows car news on the Internet knows that there are cars from a few places that are quite special.
Cars of the Su E brand are most likely to get into some bizarre car accidents. They feature a high-end horn and optional brakes, and they like to drive aggressively.
So many people on the Internet have watched too many car accident videos and keep seeing Su E, and they become curious about where people come from who drive so wildly.
Then you will get the standard answer, 'Su E is a canal'.
There is also the Sichuan A brand group, which is notoriously low in quality, and even the veteran Sichuan A drivers themselves admit that this is indeed the case with the group they belong to.
It is normal not to turn on the turn signal when changing lanes. Turning on the turn signal means that it will change three lanes in a row.
This is a rare sight for cyclists in many places, but it is the norm .
During holidays, you can see a large number of Sichuan A vehicles in traffic jams anywhere. Sichuan A drivers all admit that the Sichuan A army likes to cut in line everywhere, causing traffic jams.
Han Zhou is a local himself, doesn’t he know this?
So Han Zhou felt that this traffic program was really necessary.
This is one aspect.
Secondly, the reason why the classic program in the previous life was discontinued was not because traffic safety knowledge had been popularized, but because of some special circumstances.
The first reason was that the traffic policeman had been filming the show for many years, which led his colleagues to think that he was not a traffic policeman but a TV station employee, while the TV station employees thought that he was not a TV station employee but a traffic policeman. This caused great confusion in his cognition, leading to his depression, and the show had to be suspended.
The second reason is that the show was so popular that many people advertised their products on the show, which became popular. Later, many people deliberately waited for the show's car on the Third Ring Road and deliberately violated traffic rules when they saw it.
This goes against the original intention of the program, and instead of serving the purpose of persuasion, it has a counterproductive effect, so the program was suspended.
And in this world, this new show is just getting started and has a chance to do well.
On the one hand, the people in Shu Province are optimistic by nature and have a strong talent for comedy. When shooting similar programs, the effect will be more funny. No script is needed, and the finished program will be funnier than the Spring Festival Gala skits.
On the other hand, the Internet is now well developed, especially after the rise of short videos, major official accounts have settled in short video websites, and everyone is doing something active.
However, the quality of online video shooting is still lower than that of TV program shooting, and it is not as concise and efficient.
Therefore, if this program can be produced, it will make the traffic safety propaganda of Shudu Traffic Police unique on the Internet.
And there is also good news.
The program in the previous life was filmed too early. At that time, there were many chaos in law enforcement. Many people would often use fines instead of penalty points in order to fulfill the police force's tasks or even seek personal gain.
The host of the show has been very upright since the moment he was selected, so he has conflicts with many people.
Even if these people only make up one thousandth of the police force, gossiping about them behind their backs is enough to make the host depressed.
But now times have changed and this kind of situation is becoming less and less common, which is also a good thing for the physical and mental health of the host.
This reminded Han Zhou of the famous line spoken by Diao Guangdou, played by the famous comedy sketch actor Mr. Guo in "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty".
"The saints also said: No one is perfect, no one is without fault. But why do you, Song Ci, act like you are more saintly than a saint? You take advantage of others' minor mistakes and punish them to death. This is the real world!"
Some people say that there are a lot of fallacies. Indeed, this may be in line with the facts and the logic of interpersonal communication, but it is not in line with morality and justice.
In "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty", the corrupt official Wu Miaoshui once said to Song Ci, "Don't think that you alone, Song Ci, can clear up the chaos and settle the wrongful convictions. Not to mention you alone, even if there are ten or eight Song Ci, you can't turn this muddy world into a clear one."
However, looking at this from the other side, if even Song Ci was gone, what would become of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty?
This is indeed the case. Song Ci was so angry that he resigned from his official position in the end. However, any serious person will get a brain congestion when reading the history of the Song Dynasty. I don't know if the so-called intellectuals who like the Song and Republic of China eras have shit in their brains, so they won't get a brain congestion.
The same goes for the Sichuan A army.
If there isn't even a traffic policeman who stands up to popularize the law and traffic safety knowledge, I don't know what the Sichuan A army will become.
Han Zhou was deeply touched and was determined to convey all the good things he knew about the program to his traffic police comrades.
Han Zhou said he would talk about three points, but in fact he talked about them in detail for a long time.
From the filming of the program, the selection of violators, the attitude of handling, to the effect of the program, all aspects were discussed.
To sum it up, it's nothing more than two words, one is "professionalism" and the other is "humanity".
Being professional means that no matter what is discussed in the program, there must be no mistakes and professionalism must be maintained. At the same time, no matter how far the topic deviates, the final point must be traffic safety.
Human nature is more difficult to understand.
It's not about showing on the show that some people are kind and don't punish people.
Instead, when facing people who illegally use tricycles or motorcycles to transport goods, we should be more considerate and give less fines and more persuasion.
As for those who drive luxury cars or large trucks and run red lights illegally, we must be serious, resolute and impose heavy penalties.
There is actually a hidden reason behind this.
People who illegally transport goods are not obeying traffic regulations, but they are actually using their own lives and youth to earn hard-earned money.
If they get into a traffic accident, they will suffer a lot, but the harm to passers-by is relatively small.
However, the same violations for luxury cars and large trucks are completely different.
They either rely on their wealth or the insurance they have bought to act recklessly.
If they get into a traffic accident, they will not be hurt at all, but others will be in trouble, and the harm to passers-by will be extremely huge.
This thing is the key to impressing the audience.
Others can't make a living, so they use a motorcycle to carry a two-meter-high load. If he has money, do you think he won't buy a small truck? If you go up to him, you should fine him two hundred or one thousand. Don't try to please the audience, and you may be scolded by the whole video.
As for luxury cars and large trucks, if you don't show the punishment footage when they are caught, the audience will definitely say afterwards, "It's just a show, there's no punishment at all." Even if they don't know the situation and are making it up, many people will say so.
That's the Internet.
However, Han Zhou also told the veteran traffic policeman very clearly that the host of the show could not be told to do so explicitly, he could only give guidance and hints.
Because if he is explicitly allowed to change the punishment standards in this way, it will involve issues of falsification and unfairness.
If all these points can be achieved, the show will definitely be a hit.
Han Zhou never expected that after returning to his hometown, he would have to spend an entire night planning a traffic safety program.
However, planning this program is no less fulfilling than planning "Summer of Idols".
Although Summer of Idols makes a lot of money, this traffic safety program is also of great significance to Han Zhou, and it can be considered a good deed.
It is more meaningful than doing good deeds like donating money, after all, you are involved in it yourself.
The next day, Han Zhou never expected that this program would be related to him.
After the veteran traffic policeman arrived, he discussed the matter with his leader in the team.
The leaders all felt that Han Zhou was a worthy professional. He was concise and made the key points clear. They just needed to find someone to find illegal and irregular activities based on these key points and then take pictures of them.
They soon found someone who met Han Zhou's requirements.
But there is only one problem.
This traffic policeman, who is knowledgeable, caring, has strong expressive ability, can sing and dance well, and hates evil, is in completely different state when he speaks in front of the camera than when he speaks in private.
The typical person is good at talking but has not mastered the logical beauty of language art. He can speak but dares not speak.
The old traffic policeman went to Han Dongcheng and asked Han Zhou if he could give him some advice.
After all, it is very difficult to find someone who fully meets the requirements, and this one is the most suitable one.
Han Zhou was not prepared to contribute any more, but then he heard that the selected traffic police comrade was named Tan.
There is no other choice but to install it.
Han Zhou also gave the program a name, "Tan Tan Traffic", the same as in his previous life.
The traffic police team said that they would mark Han Zhou’s name on the program, clearly stating that it was planned by Han Zhou, and each episode would have a special thank you to the planner Han Zhou.
Han Zhou said it was unnecessary, but the other party was very determined and insisted on thanking him.
Han Zhou accepted it.
After talking with them, Han Zhou also passed on the WeChat account of Mr. Tan to Lin Xihang of Tianqiao Crosstalk Club.
After learning the whole story, Lin Xihang, who had worked with Han Zhou twice and had a good relationship with him, agreed to take him in as his apprentice. He taught Tan Sir to practice things like running lines and promised to teach him how to face the camera.
After Lin Xihang agreed, he also invited Han Zhou to watch crosstalk.
Han Zhou also agreed.
Lin Xihang also said that there was a chance for him to perform crosstalk with Han Zhou, but Han Zhou did not rush to agree and instead said that he could not do it.
Then Lin Xihang said:
"I know you are at war with the Beijing circle. The old crosstalk masters in the Beijing circle are suppressing us all day long."
"Help sell the tickets."
Han Zhou: "Okay, it's just crosstalk, let's do it!"
After resting at home for half a day, Han Zhou set off for Cangxi.
…
Cangxi, Han Zhou's driver took Han Zhou there according to the navigation.
In a small county town, in the middle of summer, Han Zhou got off the car wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask. Many old ladies stared at him curiously.
Han Zhou quickly slipped into the building.
Han Sisheng rarely spent the money he earned as a director, and he still lives in the house allocated to him by the Yanjing Film Studio.
But he bought a big house for my mother.
I hired two people to take care of my mother.
Han Zhou didn't bring anything else this time, just bought some milk powder for the elderly.
When Han Sisheng opened the door and saw that Han Zhou didn't bring anything valuable, he didn't say anything. He picked up the things and showed them to his mother.
When Han Zhou saw Han Sisheng's mother, he didn't really go up to her and call her grandma. Instead, he called out, "Mr. Zhang."
Although she is a woman, she is highly respected, a senior, and an elder. Moreover, she later engaged in forestry and agricultural scientific research in her work, so it is appropriate to call her "sir".
Zhang Zhijian's smile was kind, but one could still see the decisiveness and murderousness left over from the war years.
"Han Zhou, come here and sit down."
Because he had lost a lot of teeth, his speech was not very clear, but Han Zhou still heard it clearly and sat down.
In fact, Grandma Zhang is not from Sichuan Province, but she has learned the Sichuan accent for most of her life.
Han Zhou looked around with a smile and found a topic: "I think this room is still missing a pine bonsai. I'll ask someone to get one for me later."
Zhang Zhijian held Han Zhou's hand and waved his other hand: "I don't live here usually. I live in Shu Agricultural University. It would be a waste to put the bonsai here. It will die."
Han Zhou was very surprised. It turned out that Zhang Zhijian had come back here recently and had not always lived in Cangxi.
After chatting for a while, Han Zhou found out that Grandma Zhang would come back every birthday to burn incense for her late husband, Han Sisheng's father.
That’s why I celebrated my birthday at home.
Han Sisheng was dressed like a farmer, squatting on a small stool, peeling an orange, breaking it in half and handing it to Han Zhou.
Han Zhou took it and started eating, eating half an orange in one bite.
Han Sisheng rolled his eyes, broke off a piece of the half in his hand and handed it to Zhang Zhijian.
Han Zhou then realized that this is what love means.
Zhang Zhijian and Han Zhou talked about the "Bright Sword" and told many stories about their own experiences during the war years.
Although nothing else was said, the implication was that if Han Zhou were to shoot a story similar to "Drawing Sword" in the future, he could use these real stories.
Han Zhou had already inquired when he came. In fact, Zhang Zhijian's first husband, the commander who died in battle, was Li Yunlong's superior in Han Zhou's version of Bright Sword.
That is the brigade commander.
This is a great coincidence.
However, this brigade commander in this world died in battle in 1943, so he never appeared again later.
At first, Han Zhou didn't know why Zhang Zhijian wanted to see him. It took him a lot of research to figure it out.
So Han Zhou was happy to listen to these stories, and he also told some stories he had read on the Internet.
Although those are just stories, they are actually what this centenarian experienced when he was young and in his prime.
The old man was very happy.
While eating, the old man started telling stories about his youth.
They said that there was no white rice to eat at that time, not even steamed buns, and wowotou was a luxury.
Once I got a piece of hot steamed bun, I was so happy.
In Cangxi, which is close to Mianshi, the locals have white flour pot cakes, which are very similar to the white flour steamed buns in the north.
The old man’s teeth are not good now, so he can’t eat rice, so he just holds a white flour bun in his hand and eats it.
After finishing the meal, the elderly were not in good spirits and wanted to rest.
Han Zhou was also ready to say goodbye.
The old man held Han Zhou's hand and said, "At any time, you will be happy only if you hold a warm steamed bun in your hand."
After saying that, he patted the back of Han Zhou's hand.
Han Zhou didn't realize what it meant at first.
On the way back in the car, I suddenly came to my senses.
Han Sisheng's mother is not an ordinary old lady. She speaks in a very elegant and reserved manner.
She once gave Han Sisheng advice and influenced his career.
What I say to myself now may not be as simple as the literal meaning.
It's just because he is not Han Sisheng, not her biological son, so he can't warn her directly, but he said this.
After careful consideration, Han Zhou realized what this sentence meant: "At any time, you must hold a piece of hot steamed bun in your hand to be happy."
The old man was saying that although he had many plans in the film industry, it would be best for him to hold on to the TV drama sector.
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens to the movie, New World will be in trouble, or at least seriously damaged.
Just like in a war, if you are defeated but still have rations in your pocket, at least you won't be too embarrassed and you can rest and start again.
If we run out of ammunition and food, we will be dead.
After figuring it out, Han Zhou agreed with it deeply.
Although the old man is not as radical as I am, when he was radical, he was thousands of times more radical than people today.
If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences.
This should be a warning to the world!
“So, should I plan a TV show?”
Han Zhou thought about the veteran actors he had met on the set of "The Founding of an Army" and suddenly had a bold idea!
The shallow review system in this world is really cool!
