Early in the morning, Chen Min received a call from the station. When he heard the content on the phone, his expression suddenly changed. After hanging up the phone, he didn't even eat breakfast and hurried to CCTV.
When we arrived at the CCTV building, many staff members respectfully greeted Chen Mincai, who was the deputy director, along the way, and then looked at Chen Mincai's back as he quickly left. They all looked at each other, feeling strange.
Because according to past habits, although Chen Mincai is the deputy director, he has always been kind and kind to the staff. In the situation just now, he would more or less nod and smile in response.
But today, Director Chen has a deep look in his eyes, no expression on his face, and looks like he is deeply worried.
"problem occurs?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I guess it has something to do with what happened last night."
"What happened last night? You mean Han Sen's concert in Russia? Although I wrote two songs in the style of the former Soviet Union, it's nothing, right? After all, I also wrote "Birch Forest" in the same style before."
"That's different. Han Sen is different now. He has a different status. He is very influential internationally. His world tour this time has performed in more than 20 countries and regions around the world. He represents a lot of things.
It’s just him, it’s China!”
"Yes, Han Sen is now a business card of China. The President of South Africa has personally received him at the Presidential Palace."
"Now that the Russian-Ukrainian war is intensifying, the war situation is stalemate, and China's position is very important. Han Sen sang two songs in the style of the former Soviet Union in the Russian concert this time, especially "Katyusha", which is simply a blatant
In support of Russia, the Polish ambassador in Beijing and the Ukrainian ambassador went to relevant departments to protest early in the morning."
"Just protest, are we still afraid of them?"
"You think too little. These two countries represent many NATO allies..."
Amid the discussions among the staff, Chen Mincai went straight to the International Information Office established in the CCTV building.
In the office, all the leaders of CCTV's main departments were sitting here. Seeing Chen Mincai's arrival, Deng Weimin, Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Bureau of Culture, Media and Radio, took the lead and said: "Deputy Bureau Chen, I have already mentioned what happened to you on the phone.
Now, in addition to the ambassadors of Poland and Ukraine protesting in relevant departments, there are also ambassadors from several NATO countries, such as Lithuania, who are also driving to..."
At this point, Deng Weimin paused and continued: "According to their demands, if Han Sen does not apologize for this, they will refuse to send athletes to participate in this year's Summer Olympics in Beijing."
The entire office fell silent. Although they had already known the news, when Deng Weimin said it in person, everyone present felt their hearts sinking.
The above-mentioned attaches great importance to the Olympic Games. Many years ago, China was blocked by the West. However, precisely because of the successful hosting of several consecutive Olympic Games, it was through the window of the Olympic Games that the whole world saw China's achievements.
Its prosperity and profound heritage allowed China to break through the blockade in one fell swoop and gain extraordinary influence around the world.
Therefore, the higher authorities will absolutely fully support the hosting of the Olympic Games. According to past rules, any relevant person or thing that prevents the Olympic Games from coming to China will be strictly investigated and dealt with.
Today, because of Han Sen, many countries refuse to send athletes to the Beijing Olympics, which is tantamount to embarrassing their superiors.
When thinking of this, Chen Mincai and others felt heavy in their hearts.
After a while of discussion, Chen Min suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you contacted Han Sen?"
The director of CCTV's International News Office immediately replied: "Not yet. It's still early morning in Moscow. Han Sen's mobile phone is turned off. His assistant replied that he would wait until Han Sen wakes up before contacting him."
When several leaders heard this, they raised their brows and looked slightly unhappy.
Chen Min pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "If you haven't contacted me, then don't contact me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Why don't you contact us? Han Sen is the instigator. How will we explain it to the higher-ups?" Deng Weimin frowned.
Chen Mincai knocked on the table: "Han Sen is just a music composer. He writes songs and they are liked by so many people. What's wrong with that?"
This sentence seemed to conclude the matter. Everyone looked at Chen Mincai with some surprise.
"Today's China is not the same as it used to be." Chen Mincai slammed his fist on the table: "Han Sen is not wrong. As long as the works he created do not violate moral ethics or violate discipline, they can be made public. We in China advocate
Culture is about letting a hundred flowers bloom and must accommodate any voice..."
"If we force Han Sen to apologize in order to satisfy countries like Poland... Everyone, as Chinese people, will you feel better when you see your Chinese compatriots being treated like this?"
"What's more, Han Sen's influence domestically and even internationally is quite huge. He is a business card for China. If we treat our compatriots like this, we will please NATO, but we will become the whole world.
It’s a laughing stock and may even cause public backlash!”
"Comrades, be confident in your culture! Have confidence in your own culture!"
Chen Mincai's words were very serious, and his words were so shocking that everyone was stunned.
Deng Weimin stared at this old colleague in bewilderment, and suddenly slapped the table: "That's great! We in China have spent hundreds of years to prove that our path is correct. We have finally reached the forefront, and we are still afraid of being beaten by a few
A threat from a small country? If a tiger doesn’t show its power, it will treat us as a sick cat! I will call the relevant departments and kick out all the ambassadors from various countries who have come to protest!"
"Yes, Director Deng is absolutely right. These protesters must be taught what is right and wrong!"
"I have blocked similar news, but it can't stop the fire. Someone will break the news by the afternoon at most..."
"Why block the news? Not only do we not block it, we also publicize it so that the world can judge the right and wrong!"
"Han Sen is innocent. It was a mistake not to take a stand. Now it is still a mistake to take a stand. What are you doing!"
The entire press office was filled with anger. Obviously, if they were not afraid of accountability from above, they would have unanimously sided with Han Sen. After all, no matter what age and class they are, most Chinese people are hostile to the Soviets.
Some good friends, the grievances and grievances of a hundred years ago are worth mentioning even now. If the Soviet Union had not led the way for China and guided the new socialist system, China would not have been able to develop so vigorously in the past hundred years.
Apart from anything else, the former Soviet Union can still afford the adjective of being a guide.
"Now, the most important thing is the attitude of the International Olympic Committee."
Someone said this with worry.
After all, the Olympic Games, which will be held in more than two months, will be a major national event. If this incident affects future Olympic Games and causes the Olympic Games to be canceled, then all of you who were just filled with righteous indignation will become sinners of history.
"Comrades, the confidence I just talked about is not just cultural confidence, but also confidence in our Chinese strength in all aspects." Chen Mincai raised his head and looked at everyone: "If the International Olympic Committee uses this to blackmail us, of course
It will make us uncomfortable, but with our current economic strength and global influence, we can definitely host a world-class comprehensive sports meeting of equal status and value..."
"If there is this premise, the International Olympic Committee will definitely weigh the pros and cons..."
Although he said that, Chen Mincai was still feeling uneasy at the moment, but the situation was urgent and he had to make a statement as soon as possible.
Therefore, when it was still early in the morning in Moscow, Chen Mincai, then deputy director of CCTV, deputy director of the Bureau of Culture and Radio, and vice chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, continued to communicate and adjust his tone with multiple departments.
Soon, all kinds of news began to be released all over China.
This time, media departments across the country received the news in advance, and many news media immediately drafted articles to criticize the various practices of the Polish and Ukrainian authorities.
Even CCTV immediately stepped down. During the noon news broadcast, it named Poland and other foreign historians who went to relevant departments this morning. The words were harsh and unprecedented.
Many departments even jointly issued a document to emphasize the legitimacy of China's neutrality in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Any country that attempts to drag China into the water will inevitably encounter backlash.
The article even emphasized Han Sen's rights as a knowledge creator. In short, as long as it does not violate discipline and does not violate public order and morality, no matter what kind of works Han Sen creates, it will belong to him.
free.
At this point, all social networking sites in China are in a frenzy.
"This is the first time I've seen multiple departments jointly issue a document, just to support Han Sen..."
"Ukraine is really damned. They smashed, smashed and robbed the shops of Chinese businessmen in Poland. I was so angry!"
"You still have the nerve to sue us? You have been forcing the whole world to express your position all day long. Who cares about your nonsense?"
"Han Sen's "Katyusha" is so sung and written so well. I am creating some similar works and will make those idiots mad!"
"The sky has changed, the sky has really changed!"
"Han Sen is really the number one person in the entertainment industry. He will receive the highest level of treatment in any country he goes to!"
"Han Sen has become a cultural business card of China. He must not be treated unfairly abroad!"
"Toronto was fooled by the Polish people and even boycotted Hanson's concert there. Now many Toronto fans are so angry that they are throwing eggs at the city hall?"
“On the Internet, I saw many Maple Leaf fans yelling at each other with Poles and Ukrainians. It really made me laugh!”
"Have you heard? Something big happened. The Russians are so powerful. They hacked all official websites in Poland last night!"
"Not only was it hacked, the entire Warsaw was plunged into a blackout, and many billboards had Soviet flags painted on them!"
…
Seeing the country's support for Han Sen, Chinese netizens were extremely excited, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
In distant Moscow, at dawn, Han Sen was informed by his assistant Wang Kangcheng of everything that had happened in the country.
While eating bread, he was scrolling through the news on his mobile phone. After a long time, he slowly exhaled and revealed a wry smile.
I have to say that his idea was still too shallow. He just wanted to sing some songs from the former Soviet Union at the Moscow concert. After all, according to surveys, more than 70% of the audience at this Moscow concert were Russians.
Moreover, since so many people like "Birch Forest", the similar "Evenings on the Suburbs of Moscow" and "Katyusha" will inevitably be liked by these Russians even more.
But he guessed the beginning, but not the end.
The Russians really like it, like it very much, and it has directly made Hansen the most popular Chinese and English foreign singer in Russia. His popularity is unprecedented. Last night, 300,000 people were waiting in the Red Square just to witness Hansen's performance in Moscow.
's popularity.
But Han Sen did not expect that his public singing of these two songs at this juncture would trigger strong reactions from some NATO countries, including Poland.
In the final analysis, I still thought too little.
Today, Hansen, after a world tour, has deeply felt the depth of his influence. Combined with this, it is not difficult to guess why Poland and other countries are making a big fuss as if they have been stimulated.
In the eyes of many people, Han Sen is equivalent to China.
China's stance has always been neutral, but now, Han Sen has been singing songs in Moscow to join forces with the former Soviet Union, and the lyrics contain a lot of content encouraging Russian soldiers to go to the battlefield, which is very difficult for Poland and other countries to accept.
But whoever flirts first is a bitch!
Not to mention that Ukraine has publicly asked Hansen to express his position as a singer many times. The subsequent trips to Warsaw and Toronto really made Hansen feel as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
Under such circumstances, it would be very cool if Han Sen could still maintain his goodwill towards these countries.
Therefore, subconsciously, Han Sen still supports the Russian side.
After all, Han Sen received a hero's welcome in Russia, which was completely different from the treatment he received in Toronto and Warsaw.
In this situation, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that they will not be angry with these NATO countries.
While Han Sen was eating breakfast in silence and reading the news.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, and then stopped in front of the door. After waiting for two or three seconds, the door was knocked, and then, a Chinese sentence with an obvious foreign accent sounded: "Mr. Han
, I am the captain of the Russian Presidential Corps Guards, Leonid! I have been ordered to take you to the airport!"
Han Sen was stunned for a moment after hearing these words. Presidential Corps?
He looked at Wang Kangcheng next to him.
Wang Kangcheng was also confused, but he responded immediately, walked to the door and opened it, and then saw a Russian man wearing a soldier's hat, looking at Wang Kangcheng with a kind smile: "Hello
,Assistant Wang, I am Guard Leonid. This is my ID. We found out that Mr. Han will leave Russia in more than an hour. We received an order. In order to express our gratitude and respect to Mr. Han, we will lead
The honor guard of the three armed forces will escort Mr. Han to the airport, please approve!"
