Chapter 2830 Performing Arts Group

At this point, some things that were inconvenient to say in whispers can be revealed. Si Kaide revealed a semi-open secret: Hangzhou Station used the funds raised by Jiangnan scholars to set up a Yangtze River Shipping Line specifically to run from Jiangnan to Kaohsiung. and Lingao routes.

"What's so strange about this? Isn't it the same when setting up an investment promotion bureau? It's just recruiting private shares."

"The China Merchants Council paid for the shares." Si Kaide said, "The Yangtze River Shipping Hangzhou Station didn't pay a penny." Si Kaide said in a low voice, even though he and Ding Ding were the only two people in the room, talking quietly. Just to show confidentiality. Then, Skade added, "The joint venture has great potential."

Ding Ding thought for a while and found an indigenous businessman who had registered in Lingao to register a company and several ships. This is now public and legal. With the current capacity gap so large, neither the Government Affairs Council nor the competitor Dabo Shipping would have any objections. Zhao Yingong didn't need to do anything from the beginning to the end. He just had to find someone around him to go through the process with him. No matter how many shares he got, he would get it in vain. It was really easy to make money.

"High, really high." Ding Ding gave a thumbs up, and the two laughed.

Lying on the massage bed in Ziminglou, a gentle massage came from his back. Ding Ding's dazed mind slowly woke up. He drank a little too much at noon. His mood was high. With the cooperation of the Ministry of Medical Care and the Ministry of Colonial Trade, and the big bosses from the Fubo Army helping him, this plan can be officially launched. A plan will be written tomorrow and the first step will be arranged. The people dispatched in batches can take action by reporting to the Government Affairs Council. From a superficial point of view, there are not many benefits for him to fall behind this plan, but thinking about it on the other hand, it is the first time that he has presided over the promotion of such a large plan, involving many aspects. As long as it was done, no one could deny that it was Ding Ding who directed the entire work.

Ding Ding didn't see the importance of having presided over large-scale projects in the past, but now he feels a little bit interesting about it.

He is still young and still wants to "make progress". But if you want to go up, these become very important. As Ma Qianzhu had a private chat with him: "Having never done actual business or commanding large-scale operations involving hundreds or thousands of people, the elders, especially the soy sauce elders who are still somewhat rational, will vote with confidence." You?"

"By improving your merits and reputation, you may not be able to catch up with the Senate meeting in two years' time. It's hard to say the next time..." Ding Ding thought to himself.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when he returned from Ziminglou to the office of the Propaganda Department in the "Central Administrative District" where the old county seat of Lingao was located. At this moment, he was full of energy and high spirits. As soon as he stepped into the foyer, a terrible news spread throughout the offices of the Propaganda Department: "We have to work overtime tonight!"

The administrative body of the Senate now implements a 10-hour working day from 9 a.m. to p.m. There is an hour to eat and rest at noon. Actual -hour working day.

However, in fact, the working hours of veterans are often uncertain. Most of them not only work 997, but also stay in the office for days and nights without get off work. When they feel sleepy, they sleep in the office dormitory and wake up to work again. This caused the business departments under its management to complain a lot. Because the leader doesn't get off work, his subordinates can't get off work either. Who knows when he will suddenly summon someone to talk or what materials he wants to read.

This kind of complaint was originally limited to the staff around the elders or their apprentices and students. Gradually, as the elders became more powerful, their diligent work gradually spread to the entire unit under their jurisdiction, causing the naturalized citizens to complain endlessly.

In the end, the relevant departments had to come forward to regulate and limit the working hours of the elders, so as not to do whatever they wanted and disrupt everyone's biological clock.

Tintin came to the office at five o'clock in the afternoon, which meant that even with the restrictions imposed by the Senate, his subordinates would probably have to wait until after eight o'clock to get off work. Everyone was waiting with trepidation for the girl from the General Affairs Department to come out and "order a meal."

Fortunately, the girl from the general affairs department didn't come out to order food. Ding Ding returned to the office more to sort out his thoughts than to rush to do any business.

The organizational adjustment has had little impact on his department. Currently, he still manages the part that Wen Xuankou did in the past. Although Hu Qingbai is the "prime minister", he basically does not engage in non-educational business.

His jurisdiction is not large, but there are many agencies. All departments related to culture or publicity are under his command. In the entrance hall of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda building hang all its subordinate departments and institutions: radio station, Lingao Times, Lingao Puppet Theater, Central Experimental Art Troupe... There are many dazzling brands, but there are only three specific ones. Section: Publishing, Performance and Group Arts. There are also three corresponding departments: Publicity Department, Performance Management Department and Mass Literature and Art Department.

If it was in the old time and space, he would be responsible for business management and guidance, but in this time and space, he is actually required to do the specific business. It is said to be management, but in fact it is also about operation.

For example, newspapers and magazines that are published regularly, whether for internal circulation or public sales, from the beginning to editing, proofreading, proofing, and distribution, all need to be done personally by the veterans. In the past ten years, with the help of the outstanding contribution of the education system, Ding Ding has been able to straighten out and arrange these tasks step by step. However, the abilities and knowledge of naturalized people are limited, and many things still have to be done by the elders themselves.

Tintin's wife Penny is now the Guangming Sister who lives in Bairen Town and is the editor-in-chief of many publishing houses, newspapers and magazines. As for the most critical editor-in-chief positions of "Lingao Times", "Morning Star" and "Weekly News", Ding Ding should still hold the post of editor-in-chief himself for the sake of caution.

Performance groups are relatively less dependent on elders. After all, there were some folk performance groups in the 17th century, such as circus troupes, puppet theater troupes, local folk art troupes, and various folk artists. However, they were generally small in scale and performed poorly. Low, the performance repertoire is inappropriate. Moreover, most artists are poor. If proper protection is not provided, most of them will wander away and will not be able to "control the team" at all.

Therefore, even though it likes to talk about "marketization", the Senate has to go back to the old path of "official organizations" in the field of literature and art.

Neither Tintin nor the entire Senate likes "government-run performance groups". Because for every additional group and project, there will be an additional capitation fee and operating expenses.

But the problem is that if you don’t organize it yourself, many new performance forms and contents will not be promoted at all. The Lingao Puppet Show, which is now in full swing, owes its popularity to a large extent to the nourishment provided by the Senate. Otherwise, it would just be small family theater troupes performing some old plays like going to the market.

So the "public theater troupe" was formed like a snowball in accordance with the form and the personal preferences of the veterans. The oldest and most famous one is naturally the Lingao Puppet Troupe. Although it is named "Lingao", it is actually Tintin's strongest performance group; the second is the Central Experimental Art Troupe. The artistic categories under this troupe can be said to be comprehensive: music, drama, musicals, children's dramas, singing and dancing of various genres... No matter whether there are conditions for development at the moment, as long as there are a few members of the Elders Association, they are all available. Professional or amateur actors were selected. Regardless of whether it can be performed or not, let’s spread the relevant theories, knowledge and skills first. Its Lingao Western Band and Folk Band often perform on various occasions, and the military band also appears on major occasions. That's right, the members of the military band responsible for playing in every military parade or major event of the Senate are not soldiers. At the bottom of the list is the Lingao Opera Club, which includes folk operas and folk arts discovered by the Senate in this time and space, as well as folk arts transplanted from the old time and space.

Thanks to the expansion of the salaried class and the improvement of farmers' living standards under the Senate, ordinary people had some spare money to spend on cultural and entertainment projects. The overall revenue of the Puppet Troupe and Lingao Opera Club was not bad. In particular, the Lingao Opera Club, which has a strong atmosphere of lower Liba people, has a higher profit margin than the Puppet Troupe with little investment.

Generally speaking, Tintin is not very willing to have such a large performance group under his control. This is not entirely due to financial expenditure issues - except for the experimental art troupe, the puppet theater troupe and the opera club can currently support themselves. But he knew that any public performance group would inevitably develop many drawbacks and contradictions over time. According to an internal report from the "Ten People's Group", several of Wang Tao's storytelling apprentices in the opera club all had "weird stories" to varying degrees.

Wang Tao also talked to him about this matter. He had many apprentices, most of whom were originally "literary activists" and performed part-time in the army and enterprises. Later, when an opera club was established, some apprentices with high performance skills were transferred over, and they were specially taught by him and performed as professional actors.

Benefiting from Wang Tao's relatively professional performance level in the old time and space, as well as the vast amount of audio materials held by the Great Library: in addition to traditional storytelling, there are also many storytelling and audio versions of online novels, so it became very popular as soon as it was promoted. Compared with popular literary and artistic works published by the Ministry of Culture and Publicity, storytelling has a lower audience threshold. Therefore, a "storytelling craze" soon formed, and invitations for performances continued.

This craze is certainly gratifying, but with the box office sales, some people quickly became popular. With the emergence of "corners" and their growing appeal, the question of "who feeds whom" inevitably arises.

Of course, as the "ancestral master", Wang Tao can still suppress them, but he can only suppress them "orally" and not "convinced". Therefore, Ding Ding, Wang Tao and others discussed that instead of waiting for internal problems within the group to ferment and then deal with them, it would be better to start restructuring now.
