1979 Golden Age

Chen Qi didn't know what his parents were talking about.

He and Gong Xue picked up their luggage first, cooked some noodles for a bite, and then a car came to pick them up. A Hino bus, unexpectedly Ding Qiao was also there, seeing him off in person.

Then they picked up another circle, including: Li Wenhua, Yan Shunkai, Dongchang administrative staff, Xiao Mo Xiaoyang, film bureau staff, culture department staff, foreign affairs department staff, translators, a group of more than a dozen people, and they caught up with a visiting group .

Because this time I not only went to the film festival, but also invited international friends to attend, and had foreign affairs missions.

The flight took place at six o'clock, and it was still dark when we arrived at the airport. It was pitch black, with only lights inside and outside the Capital Airport. Gong Xue was sitting in the waiting room, looking at the cold wind outside, and suddenly felt the emptiness of being on the road.

But when I look at the people around me, I feel happy again.

Chen Qi noticed her gaze, turned around and asked, "Are you tired?"

"As long as I'm with you, I won't be tired!"

"Don't imitate Qiong Yao's speech."

"I didn't, I was speaking from my heart..."

Gong Xue wrinkled her nose. She had read Qiong Yao's book in Hong Kong and didn't like it very much.

"Ahem! You two, pay attention!"

He was accompanied by an official from the Ministry of Culture. His name was Liu Zhigu, the leader of the "Foreign Cultural Liaison Bureau".

From a relationship point of view, he is Chen Qi's immediate boss, because Dongchang is located under the International Liaison Bureau, but Chen Qi is too outstanding and has always been in contact with higher-level leaders.

"You haven't left the country yet, what does it look like?"

"Are you saying that it's enough to leave the country?" Chen Qi said with a smile.

"Then please pay attention to the impact. We still have to be reserved when opening up to foreigners, especially in Berlin. You are not allowed to, uh..."

Liu Zhigu was embarrassed to say it out loud, and said: "Anyway, you know it in your heart, don't act like there is no one else around, otherwise it will be difficult for me to write the report!"

"Okay, listen to you!"

Chen Qi stopped smiling and responded seriously. After waiting for a while, he was really tired, so he simply squinted on the chair. Gong Xue was also tired and was also squinting. Yan Shunkai was a little better. He had nothing else to do except staying up all night yesterday.

The most spiritual one is Li Wenhua.

Our old Li is also a figure now, a major domestic commercial director!

"..."

Liu Zhigu looked at Chen Qi and thought, if he can get results this time, this kid will be even more incredible.

The authorities will pay more and more attention to everything, including all aspects. The simplest example is: a talented guy in his 20s often travels abroad and is still single. Can the organization be assured?

If Chen Qi unites with others, in turn, external forces will unite with him!

Oh, that should be called inciting rebellion.

…………

The Hong Kong delegation was scheduled to leave Beijing on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but due to an impromptu reception by the leaders, they stayed for another day.

That afternoon, a group of people entered Haizi.

Everyone was stiff and extremely nervous. They suddenly realized that this was the top-level organization facing a huge country, which was unimaginable in Hong Kong.

He didn't know how to speak, but thanks to General Zhang Mingmin's style, he dealt with it appropriately, which impressed everyone.

Because he was an outsider and not well-known, I didn't understand why Chen Qi had to come to him. After a quick look, he did have something special about him.

There was not just one leader, but several of them, who were very interested in talking about the party, commented on each program, and finally encouraged everyone to keep up the good work and continue next year.

Ding Qiao was also present, with subtle thoughts.

This year, there was a visiting delegation from Hong Kong, which gave the Ministry of Culture a head start and was qualified to host the event. That won't be the case next year. If the Spring Festival Gala is so successful on Radio and Television, it will definitely grab the right to host it.

Nowadays, the media is underdeveloped, newspapers are closed during the Spring Festival, and reports cannot be picked up.

But among the people, the Spring Festival Gala is already a hit.

Not to mention rural areas, which have few TV sets. Among the citizens, there are 27.61 million TV sets, or even less. Each one covers five people, which is more than 100 million people, which is enough to lead a wave of craze.

When the newspaper reports come out, CCTV rebroadcasts it, and radio stations start playing the song, it will continue to be popular for at least a month.

And this time, everyone was singing "My Chinese Heart". They didn't memorize the complete melody or the lyrics. They only knew the few lines of the chorus: "The Yangtze River, the Great Wall, the Huangshan Mountains and the Yellow River, weigh a thousand pounds in my heart..."

The crowd was eager to buy the tape.

This was also something Chen Qi asked Ding Qiao and Zhu Muzhi to do in every possible way before leaving.

"Dingle bell!"

Ding Qiao returned home from Haizi. Not long after, the phone rang.

"Mr. Ding, I wish you a happy New Year! I want to visit you, but I'm afraid of disturbing you!"

The other party went around and talked a lot of nonsense, and finally said: "I want to ask you something. We want to release a few songs from the Spring Festival Gala, especially "My Chinese Heart". This song is..."

"Let's wait a little longer for this song. After all, it was sung by Hong Kong compatriots. The main leaders are very concerned about it and haven't finalized it yet."

"Oh, I understand!"

The other party hung up, and it turned out to be the China Record Corporation, which did exactly this job.

"Xiao Chen wants to make a tape, and the audio and video units will definitely not let it go, tsk!"

Ding Qiao smacked his lips and said to himself: "Why are there more and more conflicts with the radio and television system?"

Television, radio, and audio-visual units are all under the control of radio and television. They had basically no contact with the Ministry of Culture in the past. After Chen Qi came, there suddenly was a conflict of interest.

…………

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

The Hong Kong delegation ended its trip and left Beijing to return to Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, there was one more person, Li Lingyu.

She was confused herself, so she just followed Chen Qi's instructions and followed.

Without further ado, she was called over by Fu Qi as soon as she arrived in Hong Kong. Fu Qi said: "We will record an album for you, all of which are cover songs. You have to stay for a while!"

"Now, record it now?"

Li Lingyu was surprised. Chen Qi had promised her to release an album, but she didn't expect it to be so urgent.

Since it was arranged, she was happy to accept it.

Later, Fu Qi met with Zhang Mingmin again and got straight to the point: "You have signed a record contract with another company and you go to the mainland to sing. Your company may be under some pressure. If you have any difficulties, be sure to come to us. We are waiting with our doors open. you!"

"I'm mentally prepared, thank you!"

Zhang Mingmin said he understood.

Fu Qi also likes this person very much. His appearance is not outstanding, but his temperament is gentle and his conversation is decent. His parents' overseas Chinese status is a bonus, and he sang "Ode to the Motherland" on the Spring Festival Gala.

He and Chen Qi unanimously listed it as a key target. This focus does not refer to how successful it is in business, but that Zhang Mingmin can do some social activities and build a communication bridge between the two places in an organized way.

…………

While the aftermath of the Spring Festival Gala in mainland China is still raging, Hong Kong is not idle either.

Competition for the annual Spring Festival stalls has already begun.

"E.T." was released on January 1. With a limited number of theaters, it earned a box office of 16.74 million, which is eye-popping. This was already an early warning for the industrialization of Hollywood, but few people in the Hong Kong film industry cared about it.

During the filming process of New Art City's "Best Partner 2", it was interfered by many factors - mainly Mr. Chen's interference, which greatly failed to meet the standards. It was originally going to have a box office of 23 million, but now it is released on February 5, with a weekly revenue of only 6 million, and the reputation is poor, and the attendance rate has dropped significantly.

Jiahe's "Five Lucky Stars" was originally scheduled to be released in July, but now the butterfly flaps its wings and is mentioned as a Spring Festival release.

It is in sharp contrast to "The Best Partner 2" and has a good reputation. The box office in the first week has already surpassed New Art City.

It’s a bad start to the new year, and everyone in Xinyi City is a little panicked!
