China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

Before Zhang Mingmin could get in touch, director Yang Jie came back first.

"Director Yang, how's it going? Is the harvest great?"

Seeing that Director Huang Yihe was in a good mood and greeted him enthusiastically, Gu Bei, who was hiding behind, couldn't help but complain.

At such an old age, how can you not even wink at all?

Looking at Old Mrs. Yang's fierce face, how could she tell that she was getting any results?

Yesterday at ATV, I only figured out one thing: "People have to be hoisted first." The old lady was so happy that she beamed with joy. If she could gain even a little bit today, her face wouldn't be so dark!

Snapped!
The little old lady was obviously angry and threw her handbag on the table.

"I've been gone for a day, and you just used some soup words to deal with me."

Uh……

Expected.

On the first day they arrived, Director Deng Feng once said that ATV, the two major TV media in Hong Kong, is much more kind than TVB.

Deng Feng has been in Hong Kong for many years and is engaged in the media field. He often deals with these two companies. It can be said that he knows them very well.

Even the Hong Kong entertainment novels that Gu Bei had read in his previous life were all disparaging and praiseworthy.

Of course, there are a lot of fabrications in it, but among a hundred sentences, there are still one or two that are reliable.

At least according to some news reports that Gu Bei has read, in the 90s and [-]s, when cooperating with the mainland, ATV gave away more profits, while TVB was used to being careless.

"If I just go back like this, my trip will be in vain!"

Just understand that "people have to be hung up first"?
Although it can be regarded as a puzzle solved, Yang Jie is really unwilling to get such a small gain.

"No, I have to go find President Deng. I can't mess with things like this."

Yang Jie spent a day wandering around TVB, where she was very enthusiastic and even took care of a meal at noon. But as soon as a technical issue was raised, she would hide away. If she couldn't avoid it, she would just ramble on.

Anyway, I just didn’t tell Yang Jie how to operate Wia in order to achieve the desired effect while ensuring safety, not to mention the dragon crossing the river. From beginning to end, Yang Jie didn’t even have to watch it live, not even the real thing. Not even seen.

"Director Yang, please calm down quickly."

Gu Bei poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yang Jie.

"Xiao Gu, you didn't see that this day..."

Director Yang Jie seemed really angry. She, who never liked complaining, actually talked a lot.

After hearing this, Gu Bei didn't have any feelings of hatred and hatred, but he felt that these Xiangjiang people were quite interesting.

He was obviously very panicked, but he had to pretend that nothing happened.

They obviously wanted to accept the certificate of merit upon meeting, but they had to pretend to be reserved, unwilling to suffer losses, and always wanted to exchange their things for something.

What did he want to change, but he refused to say it clearly.

Of course, even if you say it, it will be of no use.

Their small investigation team has no right to make any promises.

"I have to go to ATV tomorrow to find out what happened to the dragon crossing the river."

Gu Bei and Huang Yihe looked at each other. Neither of them could help with this matter.

"By the way, Xiao Gu, how are you today? Did you gain anything?"

As soon as Yang Jie finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Bei didn't have time to reply to Yang Jie's words, so he quickly ran over and opened the door.

"President Deng."

Gu Bei said hello and looked towards the person following Deng Feng.

Feeling Gu Bei's gaze, the other person raised his head and smiled politely, his expression obviously a little restrained.

The Lord has arrived.

"Please come in, President Deng, Mr. Zhang, please come in quickly."

The person Deng Feng brought was Zhang Mingmin.

Walking in behind Deng Feng, Zhang Mingmin was still a little confused. He was at work. Someone from the record company approached him and told him that there was a big shot from the mainland who wanted to see him.

A big shot from the mainland?
Zhang Mingmin was so shocked that his heart beat too fast.

After pondering for a long time, I still couldn't figure out why the "big shot from the mainland" wanted to see him?
It has been four generations since his family moved to Xiangjiang, and they have no relatives there for a long time. Moreover, he...

It seems like he hasn’t done anything outrageous!

To be honest, I had the courage to participate in the Amateur Singer Grand Prix, and then won an excellence award, and...

The album that was released.

The album has been released for a month, but sales are ridiculously poor.

Nowadays, people in Xiangjiang prefer Cantonese songs and are not interested in Mandarin songs.

Otherwise, he, a singer who has officially entered the industry, would not be still working in an electronics factory to make money.Huang Yihe looked at Zhang Mingmin. Compared with the photo on the cassette, he was a little thinner, but his face was quite straight. No wonder he could sing that song so vividly.

"Mr. Zhang."

"Uh...yes, I am Zhang Mingmin."

Looking at the people in the room, Zhang Mingmin became even more nervous. It was not that he had never seen people from the mainland. Many of the workers in the electronics factory came from the mainland.

Unlike other Hong Kong people who have discriminatory attitudes towards mainlanders, Zhang Mingmin has a good impression of mainlanders. They are hard-working, hard-working, simple and restrained. Even if they are bullied, they usually choose to endure it. Unlike the locals, who often ask for help Make trouble.

"We contacted the record company after listening to Mr. Zhang's song. We have something to ask Mr. Zhang's opinion on."

Zhang Mingmin looked at the box of cassettes that Gu Bei took out, and it was natural that he was very familiar with it.

He also thought that after releasing an album, he would become famous and make a lot of money. However, it has been a month and the record company has stopped paying attention to him. He also thought that the album would have long since disappeared, but he did not expect that it would be sold by "Mainland China". The big shot coming” was noticed.

"If you have anything to do, please tell me. Please tell me."

Although Zhang Mingmin's Mandarin has a bit of a Hong Kong accent, it is pretty standard.

Gu Bei said nothing, but looked at Huang Yihe.

You are the leader of the preparatory team. If you want to invite people, you should be the one to make it appear formal.

Huang Yihe also understood, and immediately said: "That's it, we are all CCTV staff, the purpose of inviting you here... During the Spring Festival this year, we are planning to hold a large-scale artistic performance, and hope to invite entertainers from Xiangjiang to participate Among them, I wonder if Mr. Zhang is interested?"

If it's in the Mainland, just send a notice directly to your employer. It's just an artistic performance and it won't be delayed for long. No employer would be so disrespectful.

But this is Xiangjiang, and if Zhang Mingmin is not willing, no one can do anything.

"invite me?"

Zhang Mingmin was a little dumbfounded. He never thought that asking him to come over would be like this.

When he first signed with the record company, he participated in many performances and even went to the radio station to record programs. However, with the release of his first album, the performance was poor and the opportunity to perform naturally disappeared.

No one would waste resources on a singer with no future.

Huang Yihe thought Zhang Mingmin was unwilling, so he quickly explained to him what the Spring Festival Gala was, which was broadcast nationwide and had hundreds of millions of viewers...

After he finished talking about this, he looked at Zhang Mingmin expectantly, waiting for his reply.

"I do, I'm willing to participate."

Zhang Mingmin was so excited that he could hardly speak. Not to mention how much influence the Spring Festival Gala could have, just performing in the mainland was already something he couldn't refuse.

Although he had never been to the mainland since he was a child, he often heard his grandfather mention his hometown of Yinglin Town in Jinjiang, Fujian Province. In addition, when he went to work, he could also come into contact with workers from the mainland. Hearing what they mentioned about the mainland made him fascinated. .

It has to be said that even if some people are deeply blessed by the country, they still inevitably forget their ancestors. But some people, even if they have never been in the embrace of the motherland, still have an innocent heart.

Zhang Mingmin is obviously the latter. He has had an inexplicable feeling for the mainland and the motherland since he was a child, and he has always wanted to have the opportunity to go there and see it.

This is probably a blood connection.

Huang Yihe was extremely happy when he heard Zhang Mingmin agreed. After listening to the song "My Chinese Heart", he thought a lot. In the current environment, the promotional role this song can play is completely immeasurable. of.

It can be said that with this song "My Chinese Heart", the Spring Festival Gala is more than half successful.

"Mr. Zhang, I represent..."

"Mr. Zhang, can I ask you a question?"

Before Huang Yihe could finish his words, Gu Bei blocked him.

ask questions?
What question do you ask?

Zhang Mingmin looked at Gu Bei and nodded: "Excuse me."

Gu Bei pondered for a moment: "I know that if the artists here in Xiangjiang develop well, they will generally enter the Baodao market. Now that you agree to perform in the mainland, by then, with the influence of the Spring Festival Gala, we can guarantee that you will perform in the shortest possible time. In that time, the fire spread all over the country, but the Baodao side will definitely know about it, and maybe..."

"Block me?"

Zhang Mingmin directly filled in Gu Bei's unfinished words.

block?

Huang Yihe was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Gu Bei with eyes full of blame.

Everyone has already agreed, so why are you so discouraged?
What if I scare you back again?
"It doesn't matter to me. If I had to choose, I would still prefer to choose the mainland. I have my roots there, and I... also want to go back and visit."

Gu Bei nodded after hearing this. He could see that Zhang Mingmin was not being polite, but sincere.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your choice. We also very much welcome you to come back and take a look, and bring your song "My Chinese Heart" to audiences across the country and sing it to all descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world."

Huang Yihe stepped forward and held Zhang Mingmin's hand with excitement on his face.

Zhang Mingmin was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed.

After agreeing on a time to go to the mainland, Deng Feng will naturally handle matters here. It is not easy for mainlanders to come to Hong Kong, but if people from Hong Kong want to go there, the mainland has always been open-minded.

After seeing off Zhang Mingmin, the phone in the hotel room rang. Gu Bei received Huang Yihe's signal and picked up the phone to answer the call.

There was also a reply from ATV.
