Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2024: Discovered from the workers, no need for professionals

Singing, dancing, hip-hop, everything.

It is a bit exaggerated to pick out 10,000 people from 300,000 or 80,000 people. It only takes ten minutes of big data work to pick out 1,000 people. These people are basically not fighting alone, but all of them are family combat units.

In this era, people are most concerned about not just themselves, but more about the warmth of the family, the harmony of life, the little quarrels and the interaction between children and family members.

"Boss Ji, these 1,000 people are fine. Strictly speaking, 1,000 families. We can gather these people to record the show right away."

The data was laid out on the table, but Ji Donglai basically didn't even look at them.

"Let's rent a studio and record! China has no shortage of people, and even less of art. Bring over the former team of One Yuan Variety Show. I want to give my grandchildren abroad something good to eat."

"If there are no judges, then I can just find Chinese actors who were popular abroad before. What's so difficult about that? What we want is authenticity. No one dares to add water to my story this time, or I'll curse you!"

Ji Donglai has no other requirements for these people. They should do what they are good at, and not always come up with an electronic music fix. We are a big country, and populist things should be promoted.

Facts have proved that there are good people among the people. For example, an ordinary couple of workers and their children in a Yiyuan equipment manufacturing workshop sang traditional Huangmei Opera very authentically.

The other party's family conditions are limited, so they usually just play when they have nothing to do.

For this recording, the "One Yuan Variety Show" crew borrowed clothes and various props directly from professional troupes, and even the accompaniment was professional from the other side.

When this family came on stage, both the audience and the camera crew were shocked.

"Excuse me, are you ordinary workers?"

Several judges in the audience waited for the family to finish singing before they spoke. And it was a veteran artist who spoke first. The rest of the people were silent because everyone knew that their artistic attainments could not keep up.

"Yes, we are now workers in the dumper workshop of Yiyuan Equipment Company. My wife and I are both welders, he is a hand welder and I am a argon arc welder."

When talking about their work, both of them were very proud, which surprised the judges.

"Haven't you received professional Huangmei Opera training? I don't think so. The female singers' singing voices are so good. It's hard to believe that they haven't been admitted to a professional academy!"

The old artist was very surprised when he looked at the manuscript in his hand.

Looking at their occupations, it is even more surprising.

"My mother was a professional actress in the art troupe of my hometown, but the troupe later closed down. When I was a kid, there were few entertainment activities at home, so I would listen to my mother sing and learn a little bit from her."

"Later, my husband and I met by chance. He also likes Huangmei Opera, so we would watch videos and learn from them when we have nothing to do. My children also learned from us when they have nothing to do, and now they can do it too!"

The woman hugged her child's shoulders, and the little one looked around curiously. There was a beautifully decorated milk bottle hanging around her neck. After the performance, the little one picked it up and ate it. Everyone realized that it was a decoration, as they had always thought it was a decoration.

The old artist kept nodding and gave a thumbs-up to several people.

"How is your usual income?" The old artist carefully drew symbols on the two people's information.

"It's pretty good. Our factory is considered good in the same industry. My child's father and I both have special jobs, and my child doesn't have too much expenses."

"We decided to have a child after we joined Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing. The chairman of the board set a rule at that time that as long as the child had milk powder, he would be provided with it. Our child still has milk powder to drink now, so he is growing up very beautifully."

"The income is relatively stable. Apart from daily expenses, our hobbies are all about Huangmei Opera, so we don't have any pressure now. We have worked together in the factory for 15 years. We just signed an agreement with the group and the house belongs to us. We don't have any pressure now."

Unlike all the social anxieties, the couple was very relaxed in front of the camera. The little one was breastfeeding and got some milk on the corner of his mouth, which the hostess wiped off immediately.

The old artist was a little surprised. After asking carefully, he found out that although the current Yiyuan equipment is no longer included in Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing’s investment, the system still belongs to it.

The benefits of the original employees were not cancelled due to the acquisition. All welfare benefits continued to use Ji Donglai’s welfare system. The current employees don’t even know that the equipment company has been sold.

“When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. I didn’t understand this sentence very deeply when I read it before, but now I finally believe it. Only when people are rich can they improve their pursuits.”

"Although they are ordinary workers in society, the two of them have a rich life, and their pursuit of art has also been elevated to a higher dimension. In you, we see the hope of all the quintessence of our country."

"Art is not in the temple or in the theater, but among the people. Good artists can emerge from good workers. This is not impossible. What do you think of this?"

The more he talked, the more the old artist admired them.

Before he joined the program as a judge, he had no idea that there were companies in China that paid such good wages, especially in the field of infant formula.

The couple's child is now six or seven years old, and is still drinking milk powder, while most families can only drink milk powder until the child is two years old. This is the welfare of the company, this is the real welfare.

This recording, including the subsequent behind-the-scenes footage, was very long. All the information was given to Ji Donglai, the new creator, because it involved a lot of content about Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing. The things outside the program were very useful for promoting Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing.

"Just go on the show. Tomorrow night, the One Yuan Variety Show will be broadcast, and the behind-the-scenes footage will also be shown. Let the foreigners who have never eaten fine grains see what it means to be a great country. Do you really think we don't have anything?"

Isn't there a shortage of programs now? I'll just show you something elegant. At present, Central Asian and Eastern European countries all hope to have high-quality music programs on stage.

People prefer the melody played by mysterious oriental instruments. When beautiful music appears, the group of people will dance to it.

Plus the other party’s family’s identity, welder!
The people who earn the most money in Central Asia are welders. Every year, these people leave their homes and jobs to go to Europe to work just to provide more daily necessities for their families.

Everyone hopes that their family can receive the same treatment as this family, and the sense of substitution is very strong.

The translation work was completed that evening, and Ji Donglai’s original "One Yuan Variety Show" team is now very strong.

"What are these clothes for? What do they represent?"

"One Yuan Variety Show" has accumulated a large number of users over the years, especially in the five Central Asian countries where the cultural field is relatively scarce. After the conquest of One Yuan Variety Show over the years, many people have become accustomed to waiting for TV programs at fixed times.
