Chen Qi sometimes accompanied them, and sometimes let them play by themselves.
Many scenic spots in Beijing have not yet been developed, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, and Prince Gong's Mansion. The Great Wall climbed a short distance and then came down. It was cold and tiring. The main purpose was to take pictures and videos, and there were cameramen following the whole process.
They are most interested in two places, one is the alley group, which cannot be seen in Hong Kong, and the other is skating in Shichahai.
We had a great time skating. A group of people were wearing military coats and it was not obvious that they were Hong Kong people. They could only hear broken Mandarin and a few Cantonese words from time to time, which surprised the local young and old men.
But the most surprising thing is Chen Qi's house.
The front and rear courtyards, 800 square meters of space, can be replaced by a Hong Kong unit, which is close to a mansion of 10,000 square feet. Many so-called wealthy villas are not even 10,000 square feet! Of course, people don’t need to empty the urinal...
Then we visited the Beijing Film Studio, met with city leaders, met with higher-level leaders, and arranged interviews. People all over the country knew that a Hong Kong delegation was coming to Beijing. After all, this was the largest two-person delegation since the reopening.
Local cultural exchange.
In other words, Chen Qi didn't take this group of people seriously, and was simply envious and jealous in the eyes of other departments and leaders. The Ministry of Culture was very happy this time.
Zhu Muzhi and Ding Qiao were cheerful all day long, as if characters were flying out of their heads, and their reputation was +1, +1, +1...
…………
As New Year's Eve approaches, Chen Qi becomes even busier. He is not only busy with the Spring Festival Gala, he also has to take care of many things.
On this day, he took time out to visit the Ministry of Culture and found Ding Qiao.
"Xiao Chen, if you're not ready for the final sprint, why are you running back?"
"I have something to tell you!"
Chen Qidao: "Who owns the copyright of the Spring Festival Gala?"
"copyright?"
"This is sponsored by us. The copyright should belong to us. Without our permission, CCTV has no right to broadcast it again."
"..."
Ding Qiao twitched the corner of his mouth and advised: "Xiao Chen, you have to spare others and spare them, don't kill them all. If you even want to get this, not to mention CCTV, radio and television will have to fight with us, they will work hard
You contribute your efforts and provide a platform, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be broadcast!”
"Well, even if we don't want the TV broadcast rights, we have to ask for the video rights! I also want to make a video tape of the Spring Festival Gala and take it back to Hong Kong to give to the United Front targets, or sell it overseas.
And music!
You have also heard the songs in it. How many songs can one party make popular? If we release the tape, we will definitely make a lot of money. We can't make this money for others, right?"
With that said, Chen Qi took the tape directly.
Ding Qiao took a look, what a guy, even the cover was there, it was Liu Dehua and Zhang Mingmin who were printed with the words "My Chinese Heart" and "Spring Festival Gala Golden Songs (1)"!
"The party hasn't started yet, have you prepared the tape first?"
"What do you want me to say about you? Just think about it..."
Ding Qiao suddenly stopped talking, then thought about it and cursed: "Boy, you are just tearing down the wall and opening a window, and fart three times. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Hey, I can't hide it from you."
Chen Qidao: "I have set up a music department in Hong Kong. I want to distribute the album in Hong Kong and also in the mainland. However, we do not have the qualifications to distribute in the mainland. I would like to ask you to help us connect and introduce it."
"Who are you looking for?"
“Xinhua Bookstore Main Store!”
"Huh? I remember your parents are from Xinhua Bookstore?"
"Hey, they are all low-level employees and they can't contact the top leaders. Besides, I have to report to you. I can't do it secretly. That would be against the rules."
The current system is: Audiovisual agencies are under the control of radio and television, and publishing houses are under the control of the Publishing Bureau of the Ministry of Culture. It was only in 1987 that the Press and Publication Administration directly under the State Council was established.
Xinhua Bookstore is under the jurisdiction of the Publishing Bureau of the Ministry of Culture. It does not have the qualifications to produce audio and video, but it can distribute audio and video.
Why is the Ministry of Culture said to have a high status now? That is really powerful! They are in charge of movies, publishing and distribution, and almost the entire ideological industry is under their management. Unlike later generations, it was merged with the Tourism Bureau.
Ding Qiao understood what Chen Qi meant: Dongchang produced the tapes in Hong Kong and had Xinhua Bookstore introduce them and distribute them. In the end, they were all subordinate units of the Ministry of Culture, so the meat rotted in the pot.
"I'll think about it and talk about it after the New Year!"
"Okay, tomorrow is the last rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. Please come and give your opinions, including Minister Zhu."
Chen Qi rolled away, and Ding Qiao shook his head: "This Xiao Chen, sometimes he has a moral responsibility, and sometimes he seems to be obsessed with money, but it is also true that he needs funds for development... Speaking of which, he is not too young.
, running abroad every day..."
Ding Qiao thought of Gong Xue's report earlier and the well-known relationship between the two, and decided to find an opportunity to talk.
…………
The next day, CCTV.
Wu Lengxi, Wang Feng, Zhu Muzhi, and Ding Qiao watched the entire rehearsal, sitting for more than two hours and 30 programs, and then went to the conference room to summarize.
"Is it dangerous for Li Lianlian and the Hong Kong actress to appear on the stage on the fly?"
"It's a good job to ring the bell at midnight, but it's a pity that Taiwanese compatriots and overseas Chinese are missing. If actors from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Chinese people overseas ring the bell together, then I will die with no regrets."
"I really like the planning of the women's volleyball players, it's pretty good!"
For more than two hours, the leaders fluctuated with the ups and downs of the program. They laughed while watching the sketches, and were frightened while watching the sketches. The discussion was very active, and at the end they asked: "Xiao Chen, according to you, what are the remaining
The time is left for the audience to watch on demand. What if there are not so many people on demand?”
"Normally, this would not happen."
Chen Qidao: "Everyone will definitely make phone calls enthusiastically. If there is a one-in-a-million chance that not many people want to watch, we have also arranged some trustees who will pretend to be viewers and call."
"Isn't that deceiving the masses?"
"Yes, it would be very serious to let the public know that we are committing fraud."
"I think so, everything depends on the starting point. If the starting point is good, it is not a bad idea to use some means. For example, we do not have enough technical skills to lip-sync, and in order to ensure the effect, we have to lip-sync. It can be said that we deliberately deceive the audience.
What?
It's like a trick in a magic show, it's all for better results."
By the way: throughout the 1980s, there was no real singing in the Spring Festival Gala. It was not until 1994, when Lang Kun took over, that real singing was proposed. Not only was the singing real, but the music was also accompanied by a live band.
The selection of singers was quite strict, and Faye Wong was one of those who was screened out. She was already famous in Hong Kong at that time.
It was precisely because the real singing in the 1994 Spring Festival Gala was not effective, and then it turned into lip-synching, and then sometimes it was real and sometimes fake. Anyway, if it sounded bad, it must be real singing.
Chen Qi answered some questions. Even if there are objections, at this juncture, it is too late to make changes. In the early Spring Festival Gala, the scale was very large. Ma Ji smoked, Chen Peisi went shirtless, Siqin Gaowa played Hu Niu and used swear words.
Can see...
Finally, Zhu Muzhi gave some encouragement: "To be honest, this party shocked a lot of people, and they were all waiting for it!
Although it has not been broadcast yet, we are very confident. On behalf of the cadres present, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. The long march of thousands of miles is the last step. After New Year’s Eve, we will have a celebration drink together!”
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Chen, you have to leave on the first day of the new year, right?"
"Well, go to Berlin!"
"Then I'll wait until you come back. I hope we will be blessed with double happiness, and I hope you will get greater honors!"
(No more...
I owe you a chapter first)
Chapter completed!
