Start from 1980

Chapter 427 This Is a Hot Potato
"Surname Deng?" Su Chen asked in surprise, "Teng Lijun?"

"Yes, Peng Yan from the Cultural and Sports Department of Xinhua Hong Kong Branch has been in touch with me. I invited Teresa Teng as a guest before. Teresa Teng was very enthusiastic about Peng Yan and expressed her desire to hold a concert in the mainland."

Tang Wanru said: "She also discussed a "performance plan" with Peng Yan alone, and made it clear: she does not want to just attend a certain party and sing a few songs, but to hold a personal concert.

The route Peng Yan planned for her was: the first stop is BJ, the second stop is Shanghai, the third stop is Xi'an, and the fourth stop is Guangzhou.

But according to my observation, she is actually very lonely in Hong Kong, rarely participates in the activities of the entertainment industry, rarely appears in the media, and does not have her own company, not even a manager, even if there is a company willing to organize for her , and cannot be kept secret in advance.

Therefore, Director Han of the Ministry of Culture and Sports hopes that I can help arrange it in the name of our Hong Kong businessmen. "

In fact, Teresa Teng's contacts with these people had long been expected by Su Chen, because he remembered that it was in 1986 that Teresa Teng began to contact people from the Hong Kong branch.

It seems that because of Tang Wanru's reason, this contact came earlier.

The contacts between Teresa Teng and Xinhua News Agency reporters are well documented.

Since China and Britain started negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch has had increasingly extensive contacts with all walks of life.

Some people, due to various reasons, use secret methods to contact the Xinhua branch.

These include some Hong Kong British government officials, some well-known so-called "pro-British" people, and some staff members of Taiwan's Hong Kong agencies.

Due to Teresa Teng's special status, her secret contact with the Xinhua branch is naturally understandable.

The reform and opening up in the Mainland has brought new hope to Teresa Teng.

She began to weave many dreams for herself in a mess: stop at the Great Wall, rest in the water town, look up at the bright moon in her hometown, listen to the sounds of the west, and of course, reappear the glory in the applause of hundreds of millions of fans.

But an invisible net has always enveloped her, and she has been unable to break through.

However, in the original time and space, until she passed away, she never stepped into the mainland.

"In the name of Hong Kong businessmen?" Su Chen had to seriously consider this question.

Tang Wanru said: "Yes, but the Jiangnan case is a great deterrent to the people on their side. Every time Teresa Teng sees me, she has to change the location, and when she goes out, she has to wear sunglasses and a windbreaker. It is said that it is to guard against the media. According to my guess, it should be to guard against the intelligence personnel over there."

"What do you think?" Su Chen asked.

Tang Wanru said embarrassingly: "I don't have any problems with the mainland. The only thing I worry about is their side. She told us that even if we use the "visa on another paper" method, it is not safe. Some of her friends who have been to the mainland, They were all censored after returning to Taiwan.”

"So, my idea is that we directly buy an American record company, and then open a Chinese-language subsidiary to sign Hong Kong singers, because our pirated tapes are always on the right track."

"If we have been in the piracy business, it will be very inconvenient for our development. If we directly develop a record company, we will not only sign European and American singers, but also sign Chinese singers."

"In this way, we will become a multinational company. In addition to sending Teresa Teng to the mainland, we can also sign artists from Taiwan. Moreover, we are an American company, and Taiwan will definitely have nothing to do with us."

After hearing Tang Wanru's suggestion, Su Chen rubbed his temples, thought for a while, and said, "You contacted Chief Han and said that we are willing to take over this task, and we will arrange all the work."

"But for our development, we will sign a large number of artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and at the same time, let these artists enter the mainland to perform. All the work will be undertaken by our company."

"We only talk about business, not politics, purely cultural exchanges without mixing other factors, just now the two sides have begun to contact and contact in various aspects such as economy, culture, science and technology, education, sports, and health care."

"We must always adhere to the one-China principle, borrow Teresa Teng, and let the previous foundation go further."

"At the same time you discuss with Teresa Teng, if she is willing, we will find a way to arrange the performance plans she mentioned."

"In addition, you have to tell her that considering various reasons, "When Will You Come Again" and "Plum Blossom", these two songs cannot be sung."

If these two songs were sung at the concert, Boss Su's ten heads probably wouldn't be enough to shoot him.

"At the same time, I told Director Han that we hope she can appear in this year's Spring Festival Gala, and ask them what they mean. If Teresa Teng is willing to accept our conditions, we can arrange her to go to the mainland for activities, and even participate in the Spring Festival Gala."

After hearing Su Chen's words, Tang Wanru said: "I understand, we only talk about business, not politics, and always adhere to the one-China principle. I will discuss it with the chief when I get up tomorrow."

She then asked, "Over there, how should we deal with it?"

"Response?" Su Chen said: "You must protect your own safety so that no one will worry about it. At the same time, you must also protect Teresa Teng's safety. Similarly, we need her political stance to be clear."

"Okay, I will pay attention." Tang Wanru said: "Then I will rest first, and if there is any problem, I will call you again."

"Okay, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Su brewed a pot of coffee and seriously considered this issue.

If it is a small artist, it is not a big problem, but now it is Teresa Teng.

Because the political environment in Taiwan is still very closed, and the intelligence department is all-pervasive, he has to think of a surefire way.

It is not enough to describe it as a hot potato, it is simply a bomb that is about to ignite the fuse.

If Teresa Teng disagrees with Tang Wanru's conditions, he plans to take Miranda and Avril back to China when he successfully obtains his diploma.

Let Miranda enter the country with a high profile as a senior executive of the record company, declaring that he wants to conduct cultural exchanges with the mainland, contact the high-level, and at the same time, express that he wants to watch the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

I hope to see Teresa Teng on the Spring Festival Gala, and at the same time, express vaguely whether something similar to the Jiangnan case will happen.

Anyway, Mr. Su can't play against Xiao Jiang and his staff by himself, so he can only find a conspiracy.

It's an open conspiracy, the record company is American, we only hope that our records will sell well, and we don't care about political matters.

If at this time, Teresa Teng has not joined the record company, then the whole world will send out invitations.

Although this is just an assumption, Mr. Su still has to face it seriously.

Various possibilities must be considered.

In 87, Fei Xiang could be on the stage singing "A Fire in Winter", there is no reason Teresa Teng could not be on the stage.

As for whether she is an intelligence officer, Mr. Su really doesn't know. Anyway, with Mr. Jiang's mind, he wouldn't be so stupid.

At the same time, Fei Xiang's influence is far less than that of Teresa Teng, even a single Fei Xiang can cause an uproar on the stage. If it was Teresa Teng, she would probably have to find a way to get her family to come to Hong Kong.

Su Chen is used to thinking of the worst aspects of a matter and imagining various possibilities.

But after much deliberation, I still can't think of a better way, so I can only wait for Tang Wanru to get in touch with Chief Han to see what it's like before making the second step.

When Miranda came back, she saw Su Chen smoking in the living room with a sad face.

He couldn't help asking curiously: "Darling, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any problems? You didn't smoke before."

"I did encounter a problem." Su Chen said, "It's a very difficult problem. I plan to sign an artist to hold a concert in mainland China, but this artist is from Taiwan..."

After briefly introducing the reason, he continued: "So, I am particularly worried about this matter."

"What is there to worry about?" Miranda reached out and pinched the cigarette in Su Chen's mouth, and continued: "Send her to Boston, and then we will buy a record company, and the whole world will announce that she will join our record company."

"I or Avril Lavigne will go to China for you. Don't you have a music academy? We donate 100 million US dollars to the academy based on friendly exchanges, and then invite her to your mainland. We are Americans, and Taiwan can't take it. How are we?"

"Okay." Su Chen nodded.

It was decided to adopt a two-pronged approach.

……

When Boston is at night, it is daytime in Hong Kong.

Tang Wanru went to the Asia Hotel in Happy Valley. This is a hotel owned by the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency. There are two floors of guest rooms dedicated to receiving some special guests like Tang Wanru...
