Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 418 A scene that has never appeared before is coming

1980, the last few days of August.

I thought a trip to the Great Wall under the scorching sun would be quite exciting.

I didn't expect that Badaling, which is several degrees lower than the city, would have cool breezes blowing from time to time.

Looking around, the fields are magnificent and green.

"The situation is promising~"

Jiangshan lifted the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat off his face like an old farmer.

Chen Peisi, who was standing by, simply put a towel on her head.

The two of them looked forward together at the four old men who were still moving forward.

He looked back again and saw Xiaoyu and Xiaobai sitting on the steps with Yu Sigui and Jiangchuan.

"Second son," Jiang Shan patted Chen Peisi, "You stay here and take care of the little ones. I'll go follow the old comrades."

"Okay," Chen Peisi was very satisfied with the assignment: "Go ahead, comrades. I'll be waiting for your triumphant return here."

This continued until two cars from the Ministry of Foreign Trade drove up to the gate of the Summer Palace.

Four old comrades who were soundly sleeping finally opened their eyes.

The food and wine that Lu Xuzhang ordered for them at Tingli Pavilion was so delicious that it was beyond praise.

Li Ruocheng would nod and smile at his wife almost every time he tasted a dish.

Jiang's father and mother, who had never stopped smiling, finally tasted the imperial meal that the second son had always missed.

……

After the meal, when the group finally returned to the guesthouse happily, it was already dark.

From a distance, they saw a man sitting on the back of a bicycle waving at them:

"Xiao Jiang, you are finally back."

Jiang Shan looked carefully and said, "Director Wang, why are you here?"

The lights soon came on in a room on the third floor of the guesthouse.

When Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang came in with two thermos buckets of popsicles, they naturally picked up the two slices of watermelon on the table.

"How is it?" Wang Fulin held a piece of watermelon in his hand. "Is this watermelon pretty good?"

"Very sweet~"

Several people in the room sat together and praised each other.

"Director Wang, you came over to give us watermelons in this hot weather,"

Jiang Shan was very touched: "It's really hard for you."

"What's the big deal?" Wang Fulin didn't think it was a big deal.
"As a landlord, I should treat you to a good meal, but unfortunately the big landlord got there first."

"Don't feel sorry for it,"

Jiang Shan, who had long been on good terms with Director Wang, said with a smile, "We haven't found food for tomorrow yet."

Wang Shixiang on the side said quickly: "It will be our turn tomorrow."

"Tomorrow we will go to Fengze Garden," Huang Yongyu said, "We old people have even prepared the food coupons."

Wang Fulin nodded: "Then I will go the day after tomorrow."

Seeing this, Chen Peisi didn't dare to say a word and just buried her head in eating watermelon.

At this moment, Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Let's do it next time, Director Wang. My parents will be back home tomorrow afternoon."

"You're going back so soon. You've only been here a few days."

"There are a lot of things waiting for my dad at the factory," Jiang Shan said, "Besides, my little sister's school is about to start."

During the days in Yanjing, Dad Jiang was always thinking about the workshop, fearing that Master Bao would not be able to manage the situation.

There are only a few days left until the release of "Lush Mountain Love" on September 9st.

But Jiangshan was not in a hurry at all.

He knew that after the Foreign Trade Bureau named "Chunfengdu Clothing" as a pilot project.

Not only does it allow its own fashion performance team to move freely in the shopping mall.

It also ordered Pujiang Garment Factory No. 2 to strictly implement a complete set of processing and shipping procedures.

"That's fine. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway." Wang Fulin was not a pretentious person. "I heard that your sister was admitted to the drama academy this time?"

"Yes," Jiang Shan nodded: "After I graduate in a few years, I can help you."

Compared to filming, Jiangshan would rather let his younger sister work behind the scenes.

"You want her to join the TV station, right?" Wang Fulin said with a smile:

"That's hard to say. As long as you, Xiao Jiang, say a word, not to mention Gu Tai, Zhou Yeming will also make arrangements."

"Please don't let that girl hear you saying this," Jiang Shan thanked sincerely, "Otherwise, she won't be able to concentrate on her studies."

After the watermelon is done, popsicles are served.

"Jiangshan," Wang Fulin began to talk about business:
"This afternoon, the station received a notice about a national documentary competition titled "Beautiful Mountains, Beautiful Waters, Beautiful Scenery." Have you heard about this?"

Hearing this question, Chen Peisi, who had already been involved in the situation, continued to suck on her popsicle without even a twitch of her eyelids.

"Such a quick notice,"

On the first day of arriving in Beijing, Jiang Shan told Director Wang about his purpose of coming to Beijing. He had no intention of hiding it from him:

"Director Wang, this matter is actually led by the Foreign Trade Department. One of the purposes is to add some material to the advertisement I am currently responsible for."

"As soon as I heard it, I guessed that this matter was related to you," Wang Fulin said, "How about it, Xiao Jiang, can you tell me the specific selection requirements?"

"Why?" Jiang Shan asked directly, "Do you want to win a prize?"

"It's not me who wants to win the award, it's our station that wants to win the award," Wang Fulin said.

"Think about it, this is a competition that 38 TV stations across the country are hosting, how can we not care?"

"So that's what you're worried about," Jiang Shan said, "Then I'll tell you something."

Wang Fulin: “You say.”

At this moment, everyone in the room pricked up their ears.

"In fact, advertising is secondary," Jiang Shan:
"The Foreign Trade Bureau took the lead in this matter, mainly to edit a documentary short film about the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland.

Let the people of the country take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. This is the most important purpose. "

"Oh~"

Wang Fulin understood: "No wonder TV stations across the country were mobilized to film this. It turns out it was for this matter."

“What is the subject of the photo shoot you received?”

“Beautiful Mountains, Beautiful Waters, Beautiful Scenery.”

"That's right," Jiang Shan said, "38 TV stations across the country have jointly composed a film about the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. Just thinking about it makes me excited."

"This is totally unprecedented," Wang Fulin began to get excited:

“I feel like I should go take some shots of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.”

"You forgot," Jiang Shan reminded:

"Last time, in order to add a group of national scenic spots at the beginning of "Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City", what scenic spots in the capital have we not photographed?"

"Yes, how could I have forgotten about this?" Wang Fulin said the next second: "But I can't just do nothing!"

Jiang Shan: "Are you in charge of this matter at the moment?"

“It hasn’t been finalized yet, but it’s probably close.”

"That's easy," Jiang Shan said, "We'll leave for Qingdao the day after tomorrow. Would you like to join us?"

"You're planning to set up the machine in Qingdao? I can't compete with you for a spot,"

Wang Fulin said seriously:

"Like you said before, Xiao Jiang, whether I win the award or not is secondary. I want to take some good shots of the beautiful mountains and rivers."

"Then I'll give you an idea,"

Knowing that Wang Dao was also someone who had high expectations of himself, Jiang Shan recommended to him something he had originally wanted to do:
“Since 38 TV stations are shooting landscapes together, why don’t you just shoot something different.”

"Shoot something different," Wang Fulin said, "What's different?"

"The harvest season is coming soon, why don't you take some photos of the great harvest?"

As soon as Jiang Shan said this, everyone present burst into laughter.

"I thought it was something else," Wang Fulin said. "News and documentaries about the harvest have been broadcast every year. Ordinary people are tired of seeing them."

"Don't laugh first. The scene I'm talking about has never been broadcasted by CCTV," Jiang Shan said.

Several people in the room looked at Jiangshan curiously.

"Because," Jiang Shan: "this scene has never appeared before."

"Where?"

"Xiao Jiang, whose crops are you talking about?"

"What kind of crops have we not seen?"

Jiang Shan looked at everyone and asked, "Has anyone heard of Lumian No. 1?"

Except for Wang Fulin, the others were shaking their heads.

"Do you know what this thing is?"

Jiang Shan found the mysterious one: "The high technology of Shandong Institute of Atomic Energy. With it, we may not need cloth coupons when we buy clothes in the future."

Chen Peisi's eyes widened: "Don't you want to pay for the ticket?"

Huang Yongyu: “Is there such a thing?”

"I know about this," Wang Fulin said. "Our station even went to the institute to interview them last year."

"This year is the first harvest season for the large-value Lumian No. 1 cotton.
Let's close our eyes and imagine what a magnificent sight it would be if 850 million mu of cotton were grown. "

What Jiangshan is talking about now is Lumian No. 1, which is known as the "cloth coupon terminator".

Since its successful production in 1979, it has been promoted for large-scale cultivation.

In 1980, Lumian No. ushered in its first bumper harvest year.

In just two or three years, this new variety bred by gamma rays will not only end the planned economy of cotton cloth.

Also because of its advantages of high yield and strong resistance to adversity, people have seen the magical sight of discounted cotton cloth.

"Okay," Wang Fulin thought more and more that this was feasible:
"I went to Shandong to take photos of this spectacular scene. Ordinary people should also see it. The harvested farmland is also an indispensable part of the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland."

After finishing his bold words, Wang Fulin looked at Jiangshan again.

"Xiao Jiang, I really want to go with you now."

"That's right, our destination is Shandong."

"It's not because of this reason," Wang Fulin smiled embarrassedly, "It's mainly because we don't have any extra cameras."

"Ok?"

"I thought if I go with you, I won't have to borrow money from the Beijing Film Studio."

"No cameras?" Huang Yongyu was surprised: "How many cameras do you have for such a big TV station?
"You don't know," Wang Fulin said with a wry smile, "It's not just our station that's short of machines, even the machines at the Beijing Film Studio are not enough!"

Chen Peisi nodded on the side, he believed what he said.

Even though "Look at This Family" stars Liu Xiaoqing, Fang Shu, Chen Qiang, and Chen Peisi, the crew's camera was borrowed from somewhere else.

"That's perfect. We'll set off together then, and you can help us check things out."

Jiangshan understood that CCTV would still be short of machines even in a few years, not to mention now.

"Then why not take us along too?"

Huang Yongyu did not hide anything: "I haven't been to Qingdao yet, how about you, Lao Wang?"

"There's no need for me to ask," Where has Wang Shixiang not been? "I haven't been anywhere."

……

In the triple room next door.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaobai were stretching out their arms with eyes full of surprise.

Yu Sigui and Jiang Chuan, who were sitting in front of them, were each holding a child's arm to put a watch on him.

The pale blue and pink Casio electronic watch can play a string of music with just one click.

"Thank you so much, Sister Sisi,"

Jiang Chuan hugged his little niece and curiously pressed every key: "But why did you take it out only now? I would have been unable to hold back long ago."

"Actually, I wanted to wait until they watched Astro Boy before I took it out."

Yu Sigui: "It's a pity that I haven't found an opportunity since I came to Yanjing."

"Oh," Jiang Chuan: "If that's the case, they will both be very unhappy."

"I'm so happy now," Jiang Xiaoyu leaned on his aunt, feeling really happy.

Seeing this scene, Yu Sigui was also very happy.

The next second, she took out a white electronic watch from her bag: "Xiaochuan, this one is a gift from my sister."

"Ah~"

Jiang Chuan stood up with a bang and almost knocked Jiang Xiaoyu down.

"I have it too?"

This is an electronic watch with a white strap, which makes Jiang Chuan stare at it: "What a beautiful electronic watch, thank you Sister Sisi."

"As long as you like it,"

Yu Sigui held Xiaobai in his arms and rocked her: "Our Xiaobai likes it too, right?"

"One hundred thousand horsepower~"

Jiang Xiaobai rushed out with his arms raised: "Grandpa, please take a look at my watch..."

……

The next day, after seeing off my family at the train station.

Jiang Shan and Yu Sigui walked into Yanjing Television together.

"Xiao Jiang, do you remember the trip we took to Tokyo to attend the Advertising Festival two years ago?"

At this moment, in the deputy director's office, Zhou Yeming was looking at Jiang Shan with satisfaction.

"How could I forget that you and Director Gu were the team leaders at that time,"

Jiang Shan glanced at Yu Sigui beside him and said, "I remember you went to discuss the matter of Astro Boy with Sisi's father at that time."

"Yes, that trip."

Zhou Yeming looked at the two young men in front of him:

"I remember one night, a few of us went downstairs to a Japanese noodle restaurant and had a bowl of noodles.

I ended up seeing the weather forecast on TV Tokyo in that little shop."

When this was mentioned, Jiang Shan also laughed: "I remember that you and Gu Tai both said that you would start a weather forecast column after returning to China."

"It's been two years," Zhou Yeming said with a look of emotion, "Astro Boy and Weather Report have finally started airing."

On July 1980, 7, "Weather Forecast", which had been prepared for two years, finally landed on CCTV.

Unlike later generations, this time's "Weather Forecast" was only heard but not seen.

There was nothing to see except a hand-drawn weather forecast map.

However, the background music of "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" did appear from the very beginning.

"This morning, Fulin submitted an application to me to go to Shandong to shoot Lumian No. 1,"

Zhou Yeming continued: "Xiao Jiang, I think your suggestion is quite good.

Although CCTV transmits a huge amount of information every day, unfortunately we always miss some news that keeps pace with the times.

Fortunately you reminded me this time, otherwise I would have missed the starting point of another important public welfare event."

"Look at what you said," Jiangshan's expression was particularly awkward:
"I feel embarrassed for saying that. Besides, you've helped me so much, I'll definitely think of you if anything good happens."

"I love to hear you say that,"

Recalling the past is the best prelude.

Since Wang Fulin was too embarrassed to bring it up, Zhou Yeming had no choice but to do it himself:
"In fact, our station has received several political assignments recently, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on one of them."

"Political mission?"

Jiang Shan immediately began to back out: "This is not my strong point!"

"Who said that?"

Zhou Yeming glanced at Wang Fulin, who was smiling, and continued:

"This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Japanese surrender.

The Propaganda Department asked all TV stations across the country to prepare a public service advertisement. Tell me if this is your strong point, right?"

"PSAs?"

Jiangshan: "A public service advertisement about the Anti-Japanese War?"

"As long as it's related to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it's fine," Zhou Yeming said. "It's mainly to celebrate the National Day."

Every year at this time, the propaganda department is busy with this.

"Why haven't I heard Master Gu mention this?"

"Does he need to mention it?" Zhou Yeming asked back:
"Isn't the 'Tribute: The Eternal Waves' you filmed for Pujiang TV a while ago the best public service advertisement?"

"Yes," Jiang Shan's eyes lit up, "It really comes in handy."

"But what about our station?"

Zhou Yeming looked at Jiangshan:

"It's almost November 11th, but we've shot several videos in a row, and none of them can compare to the one from Pujiang TV."

"According to our private information," Wang Fulin said, "Guangdong TV even invited a director from Hong Kong for this matter."

"After all, we are CCTV," Zhou Yeming said, "We can't lose too badly, right?"

"The Anti-Japanese War?"

Jiang Shan muttered like a fortune teller: "Public service announcement? National Day gift?"

Zhou Yeming and Wang Fulin waited silently for the outcome of the battle.

"Yes,"

Jiang Shan suddenly thought of a brilliant idea: "Let's do this..."
