"Get away, get away, don't care if you get hit!"
"Obviously, there are more dates on your left!"
"Itchy, spicy, stinging, spicy!"
In July, the jujube trees bear fruit, and their branches are covered with red and green colors.
There is an abandoned and dilapidated courtyard at the head of Zhangjiatang Village. There are two jujube trees in the courtyard, right against the courtyard wall. Every July, the children in the village come here to beat jujubes.
Jujubes are long jujubes, juicy and very sweet, but the trees are too tall.
Some older children would climb up the wall and stand on the wall with long bamboo poles to beat dates.
With a stick in the east and a stick in the west, the dates were knocked down, and the children below quickly picked them up.
The most frightening thing is that some children will throw big rocks at trees, which has little effect, but is very dangerous. They often smash other people's roof tiles.
Naturally, Zhang Xiuxiu would not miss the annual jujube harvest, so she pulled her brother over with a long bamboo pole.
Zhang and his party were helpless and had to climb up the wall to help her beat dates.
"Brother, King Zao, I picked up King Zao!"
Zhang Yixing looked down and saw Zhang Xiuxiu carrying clothes in one hand and holding a big date like a small apple in the other.
"Okay, brother, do some more!"
"Uncle, I want dates too!"
Several younger children stood in the corner and looked up eagerly. Zhang and his party smiled and continued playing dates.
Above his head, Zhang Yong was lying on a thick branch, holding the branch and shaking it hard, and the dates fell like rain, but after shaking a few times, there were no dates left.
Just as he was about to climb down the branch, Zhang Yong suddenly screamed.
Zhang Yixing took a breath of cold air. He must have been stung by a tickle.
Sure enough, Zhang Yong exhaled and climbed down, covering his wrist and shouting, "It hurts so much, it stung me to death!"
"Come here!" Zhang Yixin called Zhang Yong and took out a small plate of transparent tape that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up, and he quickly rode on the wall and moved carefully to this side.
Zhang Yixing looked at Zhang Yong's wrist and found that there were indeed a few small black thorns on his wrist, so they quickly tore off the tape, stuck it on the black thorns, and pressed it firmly.
Zhang Yong grimaced in pain.
"Tear it apart!"
"Um!"
With a sneer, the tape was suddenly peeled off by Zhang Yi Xing.
Zhang Yong screamed again.
Zhang and his party looked at it and saw two small black thorns stuck on it, as well as countless hairs.
Throwing away the tape, Zhang and his party continued to use tape to remove Zhang Yong's thorns.
After five times, all the thorns were removed. Zhang Yong spat on the red and swollen area where he was stung, and then climbed down the wall with lingering fear.
Zhang and his party continued to beat dates until Zhang Xiuxiu could no longer hold it in and several younger children had gained something, so they came down from the wall.
Returned with a full load.
Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't put it down while holding the jujube king, and kept laughing all the way.
"Mom, I'm back!"
When she reached the door of her house, Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly shouted.
No one at home responded, only Zhang Guangzong was rubbing his motorcycle in the yard.
Zhang Xiuxiu wondered: "Dad, where is my mother?"
"We're going to have a face-to-face fight!"
"Oh! Eat the jujube king!" Zhang Xiuxiu threw the jujube king in her hand to her father and returned to the house with the dates in her pocket.
The clothes were spread out on the table, and a bunch of dates were spread out on the table.
"Eat after washing!" Seeing Zhang Xiuxiu holding the dates and stuffing them into her mouth, Zhang and his party quickly stopped.
Zhang Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and said sternly: "You are not clean, you will not get sick after eating it!"
Zhang Yixing did not give in, "I slapped this, go and wash it, otherwise you don't want to eat it!"
Zhang Xiuxiu was immediately defeated and went outside to scoop water with a groan.
"The big crane is so powerful. It can pick up tons of goods with just a gentle grab!" The color TV set on the TV cabinet was still on, and the prince in Liu Luoguo was singing an advertisement inside.
Under the TV, a Xiaobawang learning machine is lying there, but there is a game card inserted in the learning machine.
Zhang Guangzong bought the learning machine for Zhang Xiuxiu to study, but Zhang Xiuxiu never used it to study. Instead, she played "Super Mario" every day.
Zhang Yixing had nothing to do about this.
After all, in his memory, when he was a child, he went to Zhang Xiaoyu's house to play with Bully, and he didn't seem to have any control over him.
"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"
The phone rings.
Zhang and his party picked up the call and found out it was Zhou Xingguo calling.
Zhou Xingguo complained on the phone: "My big boss, the airs have finally been put up. It's so damn tiring. I kind of regret starting a company now!"
Two months ago, [Dream Building Culture] was established.
Since they contributed the most money, Zhang and his party were naturally the real big boss, but it was Zhou Xingguo who was in charge behind the scenes.
When Li Hongyu and Zhang Guangzong first learned that Zhang Yixing planned to start a company with Zhou Xingguo, they were both numb.
Fortunately, over the past few years, I have accepted my son's surprise and will do whatever my son asks me to do.
This point particularly moved Zhang and his party.
His parents were not very capable, but they never held him back, and that was enough.
Zheng Wanlong was not surprised at all when he heard about this. In his opinion, Zhang and his party would take this step sooner or later, but he did not expect that he would start an animation company.
After asking Zhang Yixing in detail about some of his plans, Zheng Wanlong couldn't give him much advice. He just talked with him about some entrepreneurial experiences.
Although Zhou Xingguo is considered a small shareholder of the company in terms of investment, he built the entire company by himself and does everything himself. In just two months, the previous carefree atmosphere has become much calmer.
Relying on his family connections, he took over all the animation business of Yueshan TV Station, most of which were simple animation production.
Zhou Xingguo also knows that one bite cannot make him fat. He keeps an eye on the company every day and relies on these small businesses to run the team. At the same time, following Zhang Yixing's suggestion, he spends money to introduce talents and actively embrace digitalization.
At this time, the Chinese animation industry was under the double impact of marketization and foreign animation, and the overall situation was in a sluggish state.
At the end of July, the animated film "Lotus Lantern" was released, beating the Chinese animated film "Mulan" at the box office.
It is a peak and the last elegy of Chinese animation!
So far, domestic animation has fallen into silence.
Zhang and his party never showed up in the company once, and only chatted with Zhou Xingguo a few times in Yueshan's house.
It was also through these in-depth conversations that Zhou Xingguo realized that Zhang and his party had such long-term plans.
The source of these plans actually pointed to the novels he published. It seemed that he had made a comprehensive plan from the beginning of publishing the book.
From novels, to comics, to animation, to peripheral derivatives, this is a vast and closely linked entertainment content plate.
There’s a long way to go!
Zhou Xingguo learned about the concept of IP for the first time.
I also learned that animation is not necessarily something only for children.
He knew that Zhang Yixing had drawn a big cake for him, but this cake was so delicious!
