Chapter 368 Good Intentions (Part Three)

The position of White House spokesperson first appeared as the president's private secretary. It was born in the mid-19th century. Their salaries are not funded by the government and do not belong to the government system.

In the US government, the spokesperson of the White House is a very beautiful and important position.Among the core team members of the White House, the press secretary is among them, and the executive level is second only to the cabinet members.

The office is in the West Wing of the White House, just steps from the President's Oval Desk.

He can attend all the highest-level meetings. In addition to the president, vice president, defense minister, and secretary of state, the fifth person is the spokesperson.

He has no voting right or decision-making power at this meeting, but he must participate in the whole process, understand the whole decision-making process in the shortest possible time and think about how to communicate it to the public.

He is also the head of the President's news team and is responsible for various news planning.Whenever the president visits abroad, the spokesperson must be brought with him, so the White House spokesperson is generally the closest and most trusted person of the president.

This time, Lei's arrival was in compliance with the will of US President Kennedy. He came to invite Liao Yuan to perform at the White House after the Winter Olympics.

According to what the other party meant, they wanted Liao Yuan to play "Memories of the Forbidden City" or "Dawn of Heroes" at the White House.

Liao Yuan didn't feel very honored, he even felt a little aggrieved, well, mainly because he felt troublesome, so he smiled and said to Lei: "Sorry, Mr. Rudolph, I have a lot of announcements, and I don't have time in the near future."

Lei looked a little astonished. He adjusted the mirror frame and said with a polite smile: "In this case, we can make another plan. You know, President Kennedy likes your playing style very much. He thinks you are the most powerful pianist in this century. Mr. President and I earnestly hope to listen to Mr. Liao's performance at the White House..."

Liao Yuan looked at Zong Yimou.

Zong Yimou coughed: "Liao Yuan, this opportunity is rare, you might as well..."

"I really don't have time."

Liao Yuan spread his hands: "I don't want to, they can't force it?"

"of course not!"

Lei actually understood their conversation in Chinese, and smiled directly: "Maybe we can change the way. This year we will invite Chinese leaders to visit the United States. At that time, Mr. Liao can travel with your country's leaders. I think this is probably Can address your concerns."

Obviously, Lei misunderstood Liao Yuan's meaning, thinking that Liao Yuan was worried about safety issues, so he came up with such a plan.

When Liao Yuan thought of going out with the leader, he felt even more dizzy. He put away his business card, forced a smile and said, "I'll think about it."

Lei smiled and said: "Of course, I hope you can reply as soon as possible. The White House welcomes you at any time."

After Lei left, Liao Yuan looked at Zong Yimou, shook his head, and left without saying a word.

Zong Yimou looked at his back and scolded with a smile: "This brat, a man in his 20s, how he treats people and things, the way he speaks, and the aura of his behavior, he looks like a little old man no matter what!"

The assistant director who has been observing here came out and agreed: "Liao Yuan is a strange person. I don't know how many people in the world want to visit the White House, but he actually refused."

"What's this called? If the flowers are in full bloom, the breeze will come." Zong Yimou sighed: "I have read Liao Yuan's resume. Three years ago, no one could see him when he was thrown into the sea of ​​people. But now, His brilliance can no longer be concealed, and that's the benefit of growing up."

The closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics is over soon, but the aftermath of the Olympics still has a huge impact.

The first is the tourism industry. Since the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics was successfully held, China’s tourism industry has increased hundreds of times. The great show at the meeting attracted countless foreign tourists who chose the Forbidden City as their first stop after coming to the capital.

The increase in tourists also means an increase in consumption. One out of every ten people on the street must be a foreigner. Countless tourists have increased China's GDP for a period of time, and have also promoted the influx of countless foreign capital into China. At the same time, China's Many enterprises in China also took advantage of the Beijing Winter Olympics to go to the world.

The sports industry and tourism industry began to develop by leaps and bounds, and the infrastructure of the host city, Zhangjiakou, was once again improved.

Today, the capital's infrastructure is among the best in the world.

All this is the benefit of the Olympic Games.

After the closing ceremony, the news that Liao Yuan rejected the invitation from the White House spread like wildfire. It aroused heated discussions on the Internet, and suddenly pushed Liao Yuan to the forefront. Banana people said that Liao Yuan was gone, scolders, ridiculers, There are some who ridicule, but some people think that Liao Yuan's refusal is good, smashing the conspiracy of American imperialism...

Liao Yuan didn't know who disclosed the news. Only Zong Yimou and a few staff members were present at the time, and White House spokesman Lei was present. No more than five people knew about it.

And after the news is out, who will benefit the most?

After thinking about it, Liao Yuan felt that all the blame was directed at him, because the exposure of this incident seemed to better reflect Liao Yuan's integrity, and to put it bluntly, he was forceful.

But how could Liao Yuan have such a leisurely mind?
It's just that in the face of this situation, he himself doesn't care.

But soon, he had something to do. Just now, Chen Muen called Liao Yuan and told Liao Yuan in a complicated tone that he planned to follow the No. [-] chief to the White House in June this year.

This trip to the White House is aimed at promoting economic exchanges, accompanied by many domestic brokerage industry leaders...

This caught Liao Yuan by surprise.

Can he refuse?
Obviously not.

You said an economic forum, is it really appropriate for me to go to a music forum?

Suitable.

These are the original words of Chen Muen.

Liao Yuan didn't think about it any more. On the second day after the closing ceremony, Liao Yuan began to give special training to his younger sister Liao Meiyun. He called Lou Wenxing and Brailen over from Donghai City, and rented a studio in the capital. studio, and then Liao Yuan began to guide Liao Meiyun to learn new songs in the recording studio.

There are a total of twelve songs, each of which is a masterpiece.

In order to prevent early leakage, Liao Yuan conducted a fully enclosed guidance training.

Therefore, apart from Lou Wenxing, Bralen, and Liao Meiyun, no one knows the specific information of these twelve songs.

"How's your back?"

When he came to the recording studio, Liao Yuan handed the fruit in his hand to Lou Wenxing, and looked at Liao Meiyun who was sitting in the corner memorizing by rote.

Liao Meiyun had a bitter face: "It's too difficult, it's too difficult. If it's vernacular, I can follow along, but it's all...all poetry!"

Yes, Liao Meiyun was holding a book of poems in her hand. On the page she opened, the title of the poem was "Pipa Xing" written by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

As one of Bai Juyi's long Yuefu poems, "Pipa Xing" describes the memory of the pipa female orgasm playing and her unfortunate experience. It expresses the poet's deep sympathy for her, and also expresses the poet's resentment at his innocent being demoted.

This was one of the few Yuefu poems that Liao Yuan had memorized by heart. After composing it to the tune, it sounded very charming.

"Why do you have to memorize ancient poems? It's so annoying!" Liao Meiyun complained.

Liao Yuan knocked on Liao Meiyun's forehead: "Even if you don't write this song, you still have to memorize this Yuefu poem. When I was in school, I would memorize an ancient poem every day. Did I complain?"

Liao Meiyun stuck out her tongue, and immediately sighed: "But, it's really difficult!"

Liao Yuan also had his intentions in writing such a song "Pipa Xing", which can be said to be well-intentioned. In the past, besides the greasy uncle, Liao Meiyun's fans also had many children who were only in their teens. The song of the same name, on the one hand, can promote the culture of ancient poetry, on the other hand, it is also for children, after all...

This poem is originally the content of the content of the college entrance examination silent writing, and writing such a song is also to help the majority of college entrance examination candidates recite "Pipa Xing".

Yes, that's it, no objections are accepted.
