China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

Capital International Airport.

Gu Beigang changed his boarding pass and came back to find directors Huang Yihe and Yang Jie.

Although it was not the first time to fly, it was the first time to go to Xiangjiang. Gu Bei was okay, Huang Yihe and Yang Jie both looked faintly excited.

With the reform, the people in the mainland are no longer ignorant of the outside world, especially Xiangjiang, their own territory. Many popular elements in the mainland today are transmitted from there.

For Xiangjiang, people's general impression is that they are rich.

Especially those who have relatives in Xiangjiang will immediately shake up after receiving a pack of candies sent from there.

"Twenty and ten minutes."

After issuing the boarding passes to the two of them, Gu Bei also took out his ID card, passport, and passes and put them together with the boarding passes.

Gu Bei did not expect that the trip to Xiangjiang would go so smoothly. He originally thought that he would have to put more effort into persuading the Taiwan leaders, and even communicated with Director Yang Jie in advance. If it didn't work, he would go to the Taiwan leaders to make trouble.

As a result, Huang Yihe sent the request report, and within a few days, the Taiwan leader gave the instruction - agreed.

It also includes Director Yang Jie’s accompanying application.

"Director Huang, I really want to thank you this time."

Yang Jie didn't have high expectations at first, but she didn't know that the Taiwan leader would be so happy this time. Although she didn't know the details, Huang Yihe must have made a lot of efforts and said a lot of good things.

"Director Yang, what you said is out of context. We have known each other for a long time. Besides, I didn't help much. If you really want to thank me, you should thank Xiao Gu."

Hearing this, Yang Jie looked at Gu Bei and was about to speak.

Gu Bei hurriedly said: "Don't, I can't afford it. After all, I am also a member of the crew of "Journey to the West". Director Yang, if you really say 'thank you' to me, I'm afraid you won't let me return to the crew." Bar?"

After hearing this, Huang Yihe smiled and said: "Director Yang, did you see that I appointed him as the deputy leader of the Spring Festival Gala preparatory team? He is still in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han, and he wants to return to your command. , you are lucky to have such a capable assistant."

Even without Huang Yihe saying this, Yang Jie was completely satisfied with Gu Bei.

"Xiao Gu, what's your plan for going there this time?"

Through Radio and Television, Taiwan contacted Xinhua News Agency's office in Xiangjiang and has already contacted TVB and ATV. The main purpose of this trip was to visit these two TV stations.

The name is of course exchange and learning. For this reason, Yang Jie also brought the newly edited "Eating Ginseng Fruit".

"Director Huang, I'm just an entourage. When I get there, I can't speak. I have to listen to the arrangements of the leader over there."

The itinerary has been decided. We will go to ATV first and then to TVB. As for what people will think of the exchange and inspection team of the three of them, we can only know when we meet in person.

The announcement rang, I queued up to go through the security check, and then boarded the plane.

After finding their seats, the plane slowly took off 10 minutes later. Four hours later, they would arrive in Xiangjiang.

A few years ago, mainlanders who wanted to go to Xiangjiang had to transfer in Guangzhou. At that time, except for Guangzhou, there were no direct routes to Xiangjiang from other mainland cities, including Beijing.

It was not until the 80s that direct flights were available to a few cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.

Yang Jie is busy organizing materials. After all, she is going to exchange and learn in name. If she doesn't prepare some real materials, she will easily be laughed at by her colleagues in Xiangjiang.

Gu Bei didn't need to do these desk jobs. He was closing his eyes right now, and flashes of Hong Kong stars from the 90s and [-]s flashed through his mind.

His main task this time was to recruit talents, not only the host who would partner with Zhu Lin, but the most important thing was to see if he could invite several artists from Xiangjiang to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

You don’t have to think about it even if you are popular. In the eyes of those big stars, the mainland is obviously not as attractive as Treasure Island. Now is a sensitive period. Once it is involved with the mainland, who knows what will happen on Treasure Island. Reaction.

Big stars cherish their feathers, so Gu Bei naturally wouldn't ask for trouble.

So from the beginning, Gu Bei's target was the second and third tier companies. There was no market in Baodao, so he didn't have to worry about retaliation there.

But as for the host, Gu Bei wanted to hire a real big name. Not only a big name in Hong Kong, but also a certain influence in the mainland.

"Xiao Gu, wake up quickly, we're here."

Uh?
Gu Bei just closed his eyes and thought about things at first, but he actually fell asleep. When he was woken up by Director Yang Jie, he had already arrived in Xiangjiang.

After queuing up and getting off the plane, there were various checks along the way. In the eyes of those ghost guys, as long as they came from the mainland, everyone would be like KBFZ.

"Hello, is this Comrade Huang Yihe?"

As soon as he came out, Gu Bei saw a big sign held high with Huang Yihe's name written on it.

"I am, may I ask if you are..."

The person who came to pick him up was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in the same style as Gu Bei and others. He was incompatible with the people around him. He had black-rimmed glasses and a Chinese tunic suit. He was solemn and conservative.

"I am President Deng sent to pick up the three of you. Director Huang, just call me Xiao Wang. Let's go to the hotel to settle down first."

Although Yang Jie can't wait to visit ATV or TVB now, she still has to listen to the arrangements here when she gets to Xiangjiang.

The three people followed Xiao Wang out of the airport, got into a car together, and then rushed all the way to the hotel. Deng Feng, the person in charge of Xinhua News Agency here, was already waiting. "Welcome, welcome, Director Huang, Director Yang, this must be Comrade Xiao Gu."

Gu Bei said hello quickly: "Hello, President Deng."

Deng Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't call me President Deng, call me Lao Deng. I haven't heard this 'Lao Deng' in a long time."

The three of them laughed when they heard this.

Gu Bei had traveled to Xiangjiang in his previous life. Although it was the 80s and he seemed very unaccustomed to it, he was not panic-stricken at all. However, Huang Yihe and Yang Jie were different. They went from a socialist motherland to a capitalist country all of a sudden. In this world of socialism, I always feel uneasy.

Accompanied by Deng Feng, everyone went upstairs together. When the elevator went up, Huang Yihe and Yang Jie's bodies swayed.

It's just different!

When they arrived in the room, they must first announce the working and living disciplines for the three of them during their stay in Hong Kong. The first rule is that they are not allowed to move alone. If they want to go out, they must be together with at least two people.

No one thought there was anything inappropriate about this.

In the past two years, with the increasing number of opportunities for various industries and departments to go abroad for inspections, it is not uncommon for people to leave the team without authorization and stay abroad.

In order to prevent something like this from happening again, anyone involved in leaving the country is required to strengthen discipline and management.

"President Deng, when can we visit the TV station here?"

After patiently listening to Deng Feng's words, Yang Jie couldn't wait to ask.

They only have seven days to go out this time. Yang Jie naturally hopes to see more and learn more useful things. She can't just go out and be bored in the hotel!
"Director Yang, don't be anxious. The country has already informed you of your mission, and the itinerary has been arranged. We will arrange for someone to take the three of you to Asia Television tomorrow, and then to TVB, the wireless television station, the day after tomorrow."

Hearing what Deng Feng said, Yang Jie felt a little relieved, but according to her temperament, it was best to go now.

In the evening, Deng Feng and the comrades here hosted a banquet. Don't expect to go to a big hotel to have a Manchu-Han banquet. These days, economic development is the top priority, and everything else can be saved.

It was very rare for Gu Bei and the others to come out this time.

Good food, drink and hospitality?
Don't even think about it.

After dinner, Huang Yihe returned to the room, lying on the bed reading the local newspaper, while Gu Bei stood at the window, looking at the metropolis through the glass.

If we were in the capital, there would probably be no people on the streets at this time, and in another hour, even the street lights would be out.

In Xiangjiang, there is still a lot of traffic outside, people coming and going, lights and lights, bright neon lights, like a city that never sleeps.

"Xiao Gu, what are you looking at?"

Huang Yihe couldn't help but be curious when he saw Gu Bei standing in front of the window for a long time, motionless.

"Look at Xiangjiang."

Huang Yihe was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said: "What's wrong? Are you envious of other people's prosperity?"

Gu Bei also smiled: "There is nothing to envy. In another 20 years, Beijing will definitely become like this place. In 40 years, let alone Xiangjiang, there will be no city in Asia or even the entire world that can be as good as Beijing." better."

"Okay, ambitious!"

Huang Yihe cheered loudly.

"Young people must have such ambitions. Now we can't match them, but we may never be able to match them. They are developing, but we are developing faster. Sooner or later we can catch up with them and surpass them."

Seeing Huang Yihe who suddenly became excited, Gu Bei didn't feel anything at all. He was just stating a fact.

Perhaps 40 years from now, Beijing may not really be the most prosperous metropolis in the world, but in the heart of every Chinese, their home will always be the best.

"Xiao Gu, I just saw you standing still for a long time. I was really worried. I was worried that you were attracted by the prosperity of Xiangjiang and did something wrong."

Wrong thing?

Gu Bei chuckled, he knew what Huang Yihe was referring to.

"A city that has exhausted its potential cannot be as attractive as our great capital city."

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, Xiao Gu, Director Yang has already made arrangements for our party, what do you think?"

Huang Yihe was not familiar with the situation in Xiangjiang, and some of the materials he had obtained before were passed on to Gu Bei.

Invite a host or a celebrity?

But who should I invite?

"Director Huang, don't worry. Let's go to ATV tomorrow and talk to them then. Since we want to invite someone, we have to invite someone with weight. Otherwise, under the guise of being a Hong Kong star, there will be no one at the party. You know, we don’t look good either.”

Although these days, as long as you are known as a Hong Kong star, no matter whether you are a familiar face or not, you will be followed by people in the mainland.

But coming all the way, Gu Bei would feel at a loss if he didn't hire someone with real talent.
