Reborn you idiot

Zhang Weidong pushed open the door of the conference room, and seven or eight people inside stood up at the same time, calling in unison: "Director."

He looked around the crowd, opened the chair and nodded: "Sit down."

Hearing Zhang Weidong's words, the others sat down one after another, opened the folder in front of them, and looked serious.Whenever this happens, Zhang Weidong has to sigh, "Zhou Li is really good at teaching, and can manage the artists under her banner submissively."

He's been a music director for a while now, so someone must have recognized him, but no one said a word they shouldn't have said.Everyone acted very naturally, never mentioning his past, and didn't even look at him strangely, probably Zhou Li had taken care of it beforehand.

Zhang Weidong also opened the file, and only after reading it did he know why Zhou Li asked him to come back for an emergency meeting.

"You are finally willing to come back." Zhou Li had no good words as soon as she entered the door.

Zhang Weidong chuckled, it was not easy to refute Zhou Li's face on such an occasion, he had gone to Chengdu to watch Xiaowu's competition, but after receiving an urgent notice from the company, he bought a plane ticket and rushed back immediately.

Zhou Li crossed her arms, paced around the meeting room, and asked, "What do you think?"

No one raised their hands to speak, and judging by their looks, they were all waiting for the company to arrange.

"Then Director Zhang will be solely responsible for this matter." After Zhou Li finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Weidong and asked, "Director Zhang, there is only one place. Who do you decide to let participate in this year's Asian Pop Music Festival?"

Zhang Weidong said: "I have to think about it."

He had to think about it carefully, because he didn't expect Zhou Li to get a place to participate.This grand event in the music industry will be held in Tokyo this summer. Singers from Taiwan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea will be invited to perform, and it will be made into a large-scale music program.

It is said to be a performance, but it is actually a competition. Artist representatives from seven regions compete for the Asian Popular Singer Award and the Best Stage Performance Award.

Zhang Weidong just read the list of performances. Although it is only a preliminary confirmation, it is either a superstar in the music industry or a popular idol, and there are really no artists that their company can produce.It's not that he is not strong enough, but that he is far from the same level as other performers in terms of fame and status.

He didn't know what method Zhou Li used to win a spot. Each region has a total of two spots. Emperor Entertainment won the other one, and will send its "first sister" Li Sisi to participate.For established artists, it may be just a performance, but for newcomers in their company, it is an opportunity to be promoted to a top singer.

The festival will also host a seminar on "Integration of Asian Music", allowing the representatives of record companies, managers, concert producers and media to discuss cooperation models and promote the development of the new Asian music market.

If the participating artists have a high level of performance, they can become a blockbuster and greatly increase the company's popularity.

This is a great opportunity not to be missed.

"That's it for today, the meeting is over." Zhang Weidong closed the document and walked out of the meeting room first.

He came to the manager's room with ease, pushed the door open and entered.

Zhou Li put her legs up on the desk and was cutting her nose hair. She was taken aback by Zhang Weidong, and she threw the makeup mirror over with her hand: "I have told you many times, knock on the door, knock on the door, knock on the door, you What are those bastard ears for?"

Zhang Weidong bent down and picked up the mirror on the carpet: "Are you doing something shameful?"

"What do I want you to do? Why, what do you do?"

Zhang Weidong sat down at his desk carelessly, and picked up a potted cactus to play with: "I want to know, how did you get the spot for the music festival? With the strength of our company, it's a bit unbelievable."

Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, and anger appeared on her face: "How much do you know about interpersonal matters? Is this something you should take care of? You just need to handle the music festival for me and make it beautiful, and don't worry about other things. "

Zhang Weidong curled his lips: "I'm just curious, not to mention falling down."

"You don't understand, anyway, I've been in the circle for so many years, how can I do without some knowledge."

"Okay, now that this matter has been settled, I won't ask any more. Do you have any idea which artist should be sent to participate?"

"You decide, whoever has the ability will win. I only care about the result."

Zhang Weidong nodded, he was relieved that Zhou Li did not intend to favor any artist.

Anyway, no one can say for sure the result of the competition, whether he can win the award, he really dare not pat his chest to guarantee it.

It took Zhang Weidong three or four days to watch the videos of previous years' music festivals, and after careful consideration, he finally decided to send a singer born in the [-]s to participate.There is no way out, the company is all newcomers and lacks experience in large-scale performances, so we can only pick the little girl who is the most calm.

The next thing he has to do is special training, how to make this girl not be stage fright in front of thousands of spectators, dozens of cameras and professional judges, the responsibility is heavy, if a joke is made on stage, he will be guilty.

Recently there are classes in school, Zhang Weidong comes and goes in a hurry, running between the company and the school.

Seeing Xiao Wu's anxious expression many times, he was determined not to care about it, and hurried to leave after class.

This day was the same, as soon as the get out of class bell rang, Xiao Wu stood up and called the teacher, looking pitiful.

Zhang Weidong looked at his watch and said, "I have something to go first, you guys should practice hard when you go back, and I will check them one by one next time."

As a result, something happened that afternoon. After he left the school, Xiao Wu disappeared.

Zhang Weidong rushed back after receiving the news. Xiao Wu had been missing for most of the day, and he didn't go home or stay in school.

The parents also rushed over and were furious: "What's the matter with your school? So many people can't look down on a child, and they don't even know if the child has left school. How did you all become teachers?"

This parent has been a leader for a long time, not only has a strong aura, but also sharp words.

He was scolded bloody for even apologizing, and in the end, everyone in the room fell silent, daring not to speak out.

Zhang Weidong is both Xiaowu's teacher and an acquaintance of the parent, so he had no choice but to stand up bravely: "Mr. Xiao, I can understand your feelings, but the most urgent thing at the moment is to find the child quickly. If you want to scold him, wait until the child is okay." Curse again."

"Then what are you still standing here for? Are you waiting to watch the sunrise?" Xiao Jun cursed angrily.

Zhang Weidong's scalp tightened: "Everyone will look for it again, and let us know immediately if there is any news."

So everyone in the room hurriedly let go, walking as fast as they could, and finally there were only two men left staring at each other.

Xiao Jungu took out a cigarette, lit the fire and said in a cold voice: "What are you looking at, Xiao Wu is a student in your class, and you have the greatest responsibility, why don't you hurry up and find him back for me."

Zhang Weidong said kindly: "I want to ask you a few questions. Is there anything unusual about Xiao Wu recently? Where does he like to go?"

"How do I know! Now that the child is gone, what's the use of telling me this?"

"Mr. Xiao." Zhang Weidong rubbed his forehead: "Calm down and think about it, Xiao Wu is not a willful child."

Xiao Jun was stunned for a while, and restrained his anger for a while.

He has been very busy recently, and Xiao Wu fell asleep when he got home, so he had to pick up the phone and ask the housekeeper.

Zhang Weidong waited on the sidelines, and when he saw Xiao Jungu hung up the phone, he shook his head, saying that he didn't ask about anything unusual.

"Call the police first..." Zhang Weidong was silent for a moment, and had to say something unpleasant: "After all, you are a rich man, so the possibility of your child being kidnapped cannot be ruled out, and Xiao Wu is not in good health. How far can you go alone? ?”

Xiao Jun was much calmer, but he still couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? Don't you often have classes recently? Xiao Wu should have been promoted to the intermediate class long ago, but he stayed in the middle class because of his persistence. In your class."

"I'm sorry." Apart from these three words, Zhang Weidong didn't know what to say, so he turned around and left: "I've searched around the school, I'll go to a place farther away, maybe the child is just playing for a while."

Xiao Jungu watched him walk out of the office, and impatiently took a long drag on his cigarette.

get out of class ends in the morning, and Xiao Wu didn't find anyone until noon. It's already dark, and he still hasn't found anyone.

It was already midnight at this time, and Zhang Weidong walked back to the dormitory with tired steps. He planned to go back to take a shower, rest and recover his strength, and then borrowed a flashlight to continue searching.After all, Xiao Jun is right, he is the most responsible for this matter, if he is not so cold today, listen to what Xiao Wu said, maybe the child will not disappear suddenly.

Zhang Weidong was extremely tired, and he wanted to go back to the dormitory quickly, but he didn't notice until he was called several times.

"Teacher, teacher..." The voice came from the grass next to the dormitory building.

Zhang Weidong was taken aback, and hurried over to scrape through the grass, and saw Xiao Wu crouching on the ground curled up in a ball.

It was very dark, and Xiao Wu was wearing dark clothes, hiding here like a stray puppy. It was really not easy to find him.Zhang Weidong let out a long breath, picked up the little guy, saw the tears on his face clearly, and couldn't even curse.

So he took the child all the way back to the dormitory, and immediately called to inform the child's father.

Xiao Wu didn't know how long he squatted in the grass, and there were many red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes on his body, Zhang Weidong grabbed his hand not to let him scratch it, and asked in a soft tone: "Tell me, why did you come here alone? Do you know that your father was so anxious?"

Xiao Wu said with red eyes: "Will Dad be anxious? Because I didn't get the ranking in the competition, Dad ignored me..."

"Silly boy, you must be thinking too much. Your father was really anxious, and even got angry and cursed."

"You lied, Dad doesn't scold people, he just ignores people... I haven't seen him all week. Dad must be disappointed in me, because I lost the game and was laughed at by my classmates ...Papa definitely doesn't want me anymore, I'm so useless and always sick..."

"You silly boy." Zhang Weidong found a towel to help him wipe his face: "Your father is not such a person, he is very fierce, but he is reluctant to scold you, because you are his son, so why don't you just say no. "

"Teacher, how do you know who my father is?"

Zhang Weidong: "..."

Zhang Weidong's hands were strong, and Xiao Wu twisted and twisted under his claws, saying, "Teacher, I'm hungry."

"...I only have instant noodles here."

Xiao Wu swallowed his saliva and blushed to the ears: "The housekeeper uncle and auntie won't let me eat instant noodles, and neither will my father..."

Zhang Weidong could see that he wanted to eat very much, but he was too embarrassed to say it, and suddenly felt amused.

"The teacher will let you eat to your heart's content today, just wait obediently and don't scratch your body."

When Xiao Jungu arrived, Zhang Weidong had just cooked the instant noodles and brought them out in a big bowl.

Seeing that Xiao Jungu's face was not very good, he was afraid that the other party would get angry, so he quickly said: "Xiao Wu is hungry, are you hungry? Let's eat together."

In the small single room, Xiao Wu is sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhang Weidong is standing beside him holding instant noodles, the light is yellowish, this scene is too warm, it is really not suitable to lose his temper.So Xiao Jungu sat on the edge of the bed, leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, as if waiting to eat.

Zhang Weidong was speechless, watching helplessly as the father and son ate up his last two packs of instant noodles.

After looking for someone all day, Zhang Weidong was also very hungry, but in the end he could only swallow his saliva.

Thinking about it, he felt that he was losing money, but he couldn't complain in front of the child. Looking at the empty bowl, there was resentment in his eyes.

Xiao Wu became sleepy after eating, and when Xiao Jungu picked him up, he was already in a drowsy sleep.

Zhang Weidong sent them downstairs and whispered, "Make an appointment to talk about the children."

Xiao Jun grunted, looked at Zhang Weidong, and then looked back at Xiao Wu. He seemed to have a lot to say, and the last thing he could say was a few words: "I'm sorry for the trouble, thank you."

Standing at the stairs, Zhang Weidong watched Xiao Jungu walk forward with the child on his back, their shadows were elongated by the street lamps and slowly moved away.Suddenly, he felt a feeling in his heart - the years flew by like an arrow, and the boy who followed him around and knew nothing about shit seemed to have become a father in the blink of an eye.

How many years have they known each other, how many days and nights have they been, and they are beyond counting. How did they come to be strangers today?

"Alas..." Zhang Weidong sighed from the bottom of his heart, turned around and went upstairs.

Zhang Weidong wanted to talk to Xiao Jungu. Xiao Wu was too inferior and too sensitive, so he was easy to think wildly.Maybe Mr. Xiao was too busy and couldn't spare time to care about the children, that's why the disappearance happened that day. It's scary to think about it.

But as the music festival approached, Zhang Weidong was busy all the time. If he wanted to have a surprise performance, he had to make sufficient preparations.What song to sing, what style to match, the overall stage style, and what kind of visual effect he wants to present, all he has to arrange in advance.

There has never been anything for nothing in the world. This opportunity is very important to their company. Except for the dance troupe and singers, most of the company's people have been dispatched to Tokyo, making final preparations for the upcoming music festival.

Even Zhou Li came in person, Zhang Weidong was under a lot of pressure, and his mind was full of that performance.

However, it is not only Zhang Weidong who is under great pressure, not only his team, but also the participating teams from other regions.

Because walking on the streets of Tokyo, or taking the subway, as long as there is an LCD screen, you can hear a commercial theme song from time to time.It would have been nothing special, but if the song was a festival track and the singer was a festival performer, it would be different.

"It's so despicable!" Zhou Li crumpled up the playlist, gritted her teeth and scolded: "This Suzuki Ishiya, his songs are broadcast on TV every day recently, so I can sing it, so I am ashamed to use this song to participate in the competition! The Japanese are so shameless!"

Zhang Weidong touched his chin, as if he was addicted to cigarettes again: "An ordinary song, if you listen to it too much, you will become familiar with it, and your intimacy will also increase. Tokyo is their home stadium, and the reaction at the scene..." He laughed One sound, did not continue to speak.

Zhou Li asked: "Then can we win?"

Zhang Weidong shook his head simply: "There is no hope."

"The song has been promoted before the competition. What's the difference between this and cheating? Or we can file a complaint with the official."

"It's useless." Zhang Weidong said: "The regulation is that each singer must sing his own song, must be in his native language, and the other party has not fouled. Even if we express our dissatisfaction to the media, they can also shift the responsibility to the advertisers."

There was silence in the hotel room, and everyone was in a bad mood. After months of painstaking preparations, an unfair game was ushered in.

It's not that they are not ready, but that the starting point is far behind.

Zhang Weidong looked at his colleagues in the room, with angry and unwilling faces. They worked overtime, rehearsed singing and dancing, and took care of everything. They traveled thousands of miles to Japan. What was it for?Is it just for a game that is sure to lose?

Thinking about it makes me aggrieved, but today is different from the past, Zhang Weidong is the person in charge and cannot lose his temper.

He controlled his emotions and stood up to cheer others up: "You can't just give up like this. There is still an original song link in the competition. Let's do a good job in the first link first, so as not to lose too many points. The second In this link, there is a chance to turn defeat into victory.”

"Are you confident? If not..." Zhou Li didn't want to lose too badly.

"There must be, we are here, we are already on the battlefield." Zhang Weidong interrupted her, walked to the center of the room, looked at them one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the singer's face: "I will practice with you Songs, writing songs with you, and bringing you to Japan, I am very glad that I brought you instead of that Suzuki, I would rather you lose well than win disgracefully."

The singer nodded: "Thank you director, I know what to do."

Zhang Weidong said hello, and looked around at the others: "What about you? Do you know everything?"

The others nodded one after another. They are a team, and they will go all out to share the glory and the loss, and they will lose beautifully.

Zhou Li pushed the glasses frame and smiled.
