Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 294 Who Helps Whom

Deputy Director Li always thought that Li Yan brought the record here because he needed the Cultural Bureau to support him.

Why does the current situation look like... it seems like the Cultural Bureau needs Li Yan’s record?
The offense and defense have changed?
"Of course, we will help you promote this song in our name," said Deputy Director Li.

“Just post on Weibo?”

"Yes, we will also promote your products in cultural centers and libraries, and combine them with some traditional cultural promotion activities."

"Do you have a plan, Director Li?"

plan?

Deputy Director Li's eyes twitched.

To help you promote a record, you need our city’s cultural bureau to make a plan?
If he hadn't known that the child in front of him was so outstanding that even his superiors, the Dragon Hall, praised him highly, he would have gotten angry and closed the door to refuse visitors.

"There is definitely no plan. Now we just have some ideas. How about this, Li Yan, you show us the record first?"

He decided to take the initiative back.

"Of course." Li Yan handed the CD to Director Li and followed him into the meeting room.

The nine songs were played and half an hour had passed.

Director Li, who was preparing to take back the initiative, felt that he was even more passive.

The quality of this record is a bit exaggerated. Looking at the junior high school students in front of me, I should use the word "extremely exaggerated".

After all, Deputy Director Li works in the arts industry. Although he cannot be said to be knowledgeable about music and is not a music enthusiast, he listens to a lot of music.

I've been to concerts, visited recording studios, and been a guest at various evening parties, so I have some judgment and appreciation for the "quality" of music.

Especially in recent years, when cultural confidence has been emphasized, New Taipei City also has many "local culture" tasks.

Various local bands have emerged, including some formed by local music celebrities. They sing local folk songs, adapted pop music, and operas, but have never been very popular.

Later they thought that making records was the way out, and they would send some of their "painstaking works" to the Cultural Bureau every once in a while.

As a director with some musical taste, Li could tell that these records were crudely made.

Due to his reputation as an "old intellectual", he didn't dare to say no to the question in person. Every time he talked, he would talk very happily and then ignore it.

Gradually, a strange tacit understanding was formed. Everyone knew that they were acting, but they just had to act.

I keep producing garbage and you keep cleaning it up.

After that, you can point to the garbage dump and say, "Well, after all these years of ups and downs, I have accumulated some achievements."

This is still the work of professionals. Those things that non-professionals contributed out of passion...

Only the passion is worth praising.

Director Li has said this many times, "Making records is not that easy. It's not enough to just sing, compose music, and play instruments. It's actually an industrial product that requires a lot of technical support. Recording alone is not something that can be solved with just a microphone. I went to a recording studio back then, and that guy..."

He originally thought he could give it a try today.

The result was that I couldn't utter a single word.

Li Yan's records are so well-made, the sound details are rich, the arrangements are complex and interesting, and the atmosphere can be heard even with ordinary speakers in a conference room.

The last song "Ding Fengbo" is a traditional Chinese style electronic music, which is both avant-garde and classical, and it makes Director Li feel excited.

This is something a junior high school student came up with? You must be kidding.

He thought Tan Li was bragging every day!

Lin Heng's focus was very strange: "The conference room can be used so luxuriously. It seems that he is quite free today."

"How about it, Director Li, is it worth it?"

"It's worth it, it's really worth it. I'll make arrangements later. Such a good resource must be put to good use."

"I checked, New Taipei Culture has 3000 fans now, right?"

"Yes, we have just started operating and we are still exploring."

Li Yan smiled and said, "I have 5600 followers now."

Kind of embarrassing.

Tao Caihong suddenly reached out and rubbed her nose, not sure if she was trying to hold back her laughter.

Deputy Director Li coughed twice and wiped his mouth with a tissue. It was not known whether he really had nasopharyngitis or what.

"So amazing? What have you published? We should learn from the young people."

"I didn't post anything. I just registered an account."

You have to know that there was no mobile Weibo at that time. If you wanted to use it, you had to have a computer. The proportion of junior high school students who had their own computers to register a Weibo account was not high.

Even a celebrity in the grade like Liang Tiancheng, including those social maniacs, the president of the student union, the most handsome athlete, the class beauty, the school beauty and other school celebrities, only has two or three hundred fans at most.

You have to be very active in posting to make others curious. These kids on Weibo have an inexplicable sense of self-esteem, and the number of people they follow should be less than their number of fans.

So 5600...

"The people who follow you should be junior high school students, right?"

"I do not know."

"You didn't post anything, why are they paying attention to you?"

There is one thing that Deputy Director Li has never understood, and that is Li Yan's influence.

"Because his Weibo name is 'Li Yan Y'." Lin Heng said proudly, "He actually has a celebrity certification! So everyone knows that this account belongs to Li Yan."

"Celebrity certification? ... What did you certify?"

"Famous student." Li Yan said something very calmly. "The information I submitted, maybe Weibo thinks my supporting materials are enough to support the word 'famous student'."

Is this humorous or realistic?

Deputy Director Li rubbed his temples, "So... what are you looking for this time?"

The influence is greater than that of our bureau, what else do you want?
"It's mutually beneficial."

"How?"

Hey, that's exactly what I want you to say.

Li Yan smiled with a look of triumph on her face.

"Director Li, please ask the Cultural Bureau to see if we can interact with major newspapers, research societies, etc. on Weibo and ask them to help forward this."

"So this is what you want..." Deputy Director Li said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "The guy who manages our account is also a young man from the cultural center. You two can just contact each other directly later."

"It's useless to contact him," Li Yan refused decisively. "I'll just post a Weibo and tag other units. In the end, won't the leaders still have to make the final decision?"

Tao Caihong looks very happy and she is enjoying the special advantages brought by the position of "teacher".

No matter how extraordinary Li Yan is, even if he is just a junior high school student sitting in the meeting room of the Cultural Bureau, his aura can still overwhelm other people's leaders.

He is also a student, and Tao Caihong is his teacher.

After all this, Tao finally overpowered his leader.

If Li Yan could understand Tao Caihong's method of spiritual victory at this moment, she would also understand why so many people around him like to show off for him.

The meeting lasted half an hour.

In the eyes of Deputy Director Li, this meeting should be a mutual test between the two sides, with weights added to each other's scales, led by the Cultural Bureau, which would ultimately make the young Li Yan grateful and bring fame and fortune to the bureau.

It has the reputation of supporting younger generations and the inheritance of traditional culture, and also takes this opportunity to gain some traffic.

Isn't it beautiful?

As a result, both sides were indeed testing each other at the beginning, but soon Li Yan became the helmsman.

"If you think it's troublesome to come up with a plan, I have a copy here that I try to imitate the writing of an official document. You need to find someone to polish and revise it."

No matter how Deputy Director Li looked at it or thought about it, in the end the Cultural Bureau became the one being used by Li Yan.

The key is that he has no choice but to agree. With his current influence, it should be easy for him to find a newspaper. Even if he doesn't work hard himself, Tan Li will try his best to use the resources of New Taipei No. 1 Middle School to promote his record.

This record was made by a junior high school student who was able to negotiate with Hua University. Its theme is "Singing Song Ci", which is both eye-catching and in line with the current theme of "promoting traditional culture".

This is a result that comes right to your doorstep!
Which unit in the cultural field would not be jealous?
Director Li was naturally jealous, so in the end he agreed to all of Li Yan's requests.

After the victory, on the way back, Tao Caihong was immersed in an inexplicable sense of pleasure, while Lin Heng, who had always been coquettish, became very calm:

"Old Yan, to be honest, weren't you a little too... aggressive today?"

"As expected of a big leader's son, you're considering these things?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious, since we clearly hope that the Cultural Bureau will help us, why do you act like..."

"Help us?" Li Yan asked back, "Lin Heng, maybe when we first came up with the idea of ​​making a record, they did help us, but now it's the other way around."

"We... help them?"

"Bingo!" Li Yan laughed.

"Then why do you need to find them?" Lin Heng was puzzled. "In fact, with your current influence, you don't really need official endorsement, right?"

Then he took a deep breath, "Fuck, you're not doing this for me?!"

"Don't be so narcissistic, thank you." Li Yan covered her face. "I just chose a more stable route. This Weibo will be a record of my achievements. I hope to show it to others so that I can gain more voice and resources. These are my bargaining chips. And bargaining chips recognized by the official will naturally be more valuable."

"Show it to others..." Lin Heng seemed to be thinking about something. "I understand. Some things cannot be told directly to Senior Wei. I can only pretend in this way, right?"

Then he was attacked by Li Yan's "look at me like an idiot", causing penetrating damage to his body and mind.
