Chapter 458: Why did Director Chen come to disrupt the situation?
The sun rises from Biluo Snow Mountain.
After taking a bath, eating well, and sleeping soundly, He Huan woke up at dawn and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
This group did not wake up early, and the sleeping hours and even places were different. Moreover, everyone came to work. Although work is like playing, the experts are still very conscious. They got up earlier than several young people in the past few days.
When we arrived at the restaurant, sure enough, the teacher and several experts were already sitting at the window seats eating.
Hotels always reserve the best views for their restaurants, so guests in high-end hotels who have not booked a room with a view always like to sit in the restaurant.
There are not many guests now, so the meals are not particularly rich, but there are Nujiang specialties and popular meals from other places.
After choosing the dishes, He Huan took the tray and sat at the experts' table by the window, looking at the clear water of the river outside.
An expert said: "There are not many people in this hotel! Is it too expensive or is tourism here not yet developed?"
"The lack of publicity and lack of development is also a problem." He Huan said, "Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is a busy time. The Spring Festival here will be more lively."
The experts nodded.
"Tourists who like leisure are more willing to choose mature tourist destinations like Dali and Lijiang Banna. Most of the self-driving or backpackers who come to Nujiang now can endure hardships. There are no expressways, and many of them are gravel roads when walking in. These tourists
I prefer to stay in cheap hotels and B&Bs.”
One expert said: "Then we are still too comfortable! We can't even tell whether we are here for work or tourism!"
He Huan said with a smile: "Work is like traveling!"
The experts nodded happily, and an old expert said: "This time I followed Xiao Bailong and I really had good food, good accommodation and fun! I also endured hardships when I came here before."
Qin Huai looked at him with a smile. He was happier when others praised Xiao Bailong than when he praised himself!
"I don't think there is a contradiction between hardship and enjoyment." He Huan said, "It is a virtue to endure hardship and stand hard work, but it is not beautiful. If we are willing to endure hardship, there must be a beautiful result or process worthy of our hardship.
Some scenery can only be seen by trekking, and some customs can only be experienced through hard work. But because of this, you must relax when you can enjoy it during the journey. A journey that combines work and rest is beautiful."
The experts smiled and nodded.
An expert looked at the smiling Qin Huai and said, "Director Qin, you are a young and proud disciple, but your insights are very profound!"
Qin Huai said with a smile: "It's hard to fool the children nowadays. Just tell them to endure hardship and praise them, but they won't recognize it. You really have to tell them that the future is bright and the process is more difficult, and they are willing to do so."
The experts laughed and said: "Indeed, as the head of the Department of Tourism, you have to tell students that the future of tourism is very good, so that they are willing to learn."
He happily ate his breakfast without saying a word.
Qin Huai looked at him lovingly. Any professional teacher will tell you that this industry is wonderful, but there is a huge gap between the reality of the tourism industry and what is taught in books!
Didn't he grit his teeth and come all the way just for the beautiful environment of Yunzhou tourism? He suffered so much and was scolded that outsiders could hardly imagine that he persisted to this point.
Seeing it, victory is already in sight.
After a while, Liang Ange and Qin Kong also came.
Although the sun has come out, the canyon city is still stuck in shadow.
Liang Ange said: "Is this just like this, the sun doesn't shine much?"
He Huan looked out the window, "The Nujiang River runs from north to south under two high mountains. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so it's good to have solar energy here for half a day. We came yesterday in the afternoon, and in the east, the sun was westward, so the whole afternoon
Basking in the sun."
Qin Huai nodded, "Liuku is quite open. Going north, deep in the canyon, some places can only see the sun for a short while a day."
After breakfast, He Huan reminded: "Everyone, bring your equipment! There will be a singing competition today!"
"It has been prepared for a long time!" the experts replied, already eager to give it a try.
Liang Ange said: "I practiced Lisu wine songs intensively last night!"
"Awesome!" He Huan's eyes lit up.
"We can't let others say that the little white dragon can sing minority songs from beginning to end, and the elves can't sing them!" Liang Ange said with a smile, "The main thing is that it sounds really good! I couldn't help but learn it!"
He Huan smiled, this is humility! He couldn't help but learn it, but the elf must have learned it differently.
After leading the Xiaobailong expert team downstairs, Master Ma was already waiting for them by the car.
Qin Huai greeted everyone to get on the bus, He Huan smiled and handed the driver a pack of cigarettes, "Master Ma, have you eaten?"
"Eat, eat." Master Ma took the cigarette and handed one to Master Li.
Master Li shook his head and jumped into the car eagerly. This time he didn't have to sit in the driver's seat. He looked around and sat in the back.
Master Ma looked at He Huan and said with a smile: "Following you, the driver will want to be a tourist! If I were not on a mission, I would also like to have fun!"
He Huan smiled and patted his shoulder, "When we leave Nujiang, I'll treat you to a drink."
Master Ma smiled and nodded.
The other two drivers had no choice but to act as camera truck drivers.
Today the photographers carried all the guys on their backs.
There are many guys, but few photographers!
There is also a camera truck missing.
Seeing that everyone got on the bus, He Huan also got on the bus and glanced around, "Where is Director Chen?"
"He took other photographers over to set up the camera first, and we will follow you on the road to shoot." Chen Ying's assistant said.
"Oh." Sure enough, he didn't listen to Director Chen, and Director Chen didn't tell him what he wanted to do.
The bus departs for the bathhouse.
Soon I saw a sea of people in front of me, like a construction site, with signs, stages, carpets...it was a mess with colorful flags fluttering.
Seeing the White Dragon Flag blowing in the wind, the Propaganda Director of the State Party Committee and the Director of Tourism rushed over.
When Xiao Bailong got off the bus, the minister and director ran to Xiao Bailong. Qin Huai led the experts away.
He Huan looked at the busy staff around him, "Is there still a stage?"
The minister was so aggrieved that he almost cried, "When Director Chen came, he yelled at us and told us to tear down the stage."
When he saw that the leader was complaining about the director, the photographer quickly ran away with the camera.
Well done, Director Chen! Just when He Huan was about to say this, he looked at the minister who was about to cry and the director who looked puzzled, and couldn't help laughing, "This kind of rural stage is really not good. You put up a sign, blocking many people and people.
Lots of sight lines.
And no matter how big the stage is, it is limited after all. The stage of the bathhouse singing competition should be on the hillside between heaven and earth. If the singing competition takes turns on a fixed stage and the content is not as good as what was filmed yesterday, then there is no need to film it."
The minister looked aggrieved, but he didn't expect that Xiao Bailong didn't agree with them setting the stage.
The director said: "As soon as you said you were coming, we started contacting each other and making preparations. Originally, this stage was erected only for the Spring Festival bathhouse party. Last night we asked workers to put up the stage overnight."
He Huan couldn't help laughing and held his hand, "Thank you for your hard work. I know you organize a series of activities at the bathhouse during Kuaishou every year."
"Yeah." The two nodded.
"Is it effective?"
"Huh?" The two of them were stunned.
“Have you publicized the Nujiang River?”
"ah?"
"Which came first, the bathhouse party or the stage?"
The two of them were speechless. Bathhouse parties have been held for hundreds of years, and the stage only appeared in the past two years.
"Will a bathhouse with a stage be more lively than during the Kuaishou Festival?"
The two of them understood! Xiao Bailong and Director Chen were on the same team! Also, Director Chen came over early in the morning and yelled at them, asking them to tear down the stage they had set up overnight, which must have been with Xiao Bailong's consent.
He Huan really didn't get along with Director Chen. It's just that he, like Director Chen, likes nature and surprises. This is the meaning of traveling, and only then can you experience the true style.
"Bathhouse meetings are originally a folk custom. The government wants to publicize it. As long as the logistics support work is done well, such as building some toilets around it and ensuring water sources, these are what the people need.
Instead of setting the content. When the performance content is stipulated and the actors come on stage in order, there is no expectation. Are the people who are not in the program worthy of singing and dancing?"
The minister and director were about to cry after being yelled at by Director Chen. Now that Xiao Bailong was adding fuel to the fire, they couldn't bear it anymore.
He Huan quickly comforted: "This is not to say that you are not doing a good job. This job is thankless for anyone who does it. The Spring Festival Gala is like this."
The minister feels much more comfortable, and Xiao Bailong still knows how to talk. Compare them with the Spring Festival Gala.
"I know you want to promote local folk customs and make the local people live a better life. But when the song competition has a stage, it becomes a performance.
Not to mention the bathhouse party, just the Torch Festival, which is held every year in many scenic spots in Yunzhou, and very few viewers can persist to watch it all.
We are not performing for people to watch, but for everyone to participate. Regardless of whether they are on stage or off stage, gathering together is called a carnival. This is the people's own festival. This is the essence of these folk activities in Yunzhou.
Well."
The two of them were deep in thought. Little Bailong didn't like big events like the Spring Festival Gala and the Torch Festival.
"There are already many types of performances reported. What we want from this mountain village singing competition is a wild person who can remove the traces of performances and arrange them in advance to allow them to express themselves freely."
"Would that cause chaos?" the minister worried.
"There are so many singing festivals in Yunzhou. Since ancient times, which official regulations have stipulated how and what must be sung? Who must sing with whom?
Nowadays, cultural and artistic activities are not interesting or fun, because the authorities are too involved. You are tired, and the masses cannot let go.
You are tired of it. Just write a positive report. In fact, neither the participants nor the audience care.
The policy is good, and we need to sing praises. But put those things on the big stage, and there are a lot of them in the Spring Festival Gala. Our folk activities should not rely entirely on positive energy.
Small words and tunes are the life of the people. What everyone likes to hear and see are the small emotions of ordinary people, not necessarily the grand theme. When everyone is happy, this is positive energy."
The two looked at him, why does Xiao Bailong want to be a tour guide? People like him need to enter the system... How free the masses are!
But both of them also knew that this was the fact.
A stage will be set up in the bathhouse, including moving the broad season from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month to a fixed day in the twelfth lunar month, and many activities will be held.
I haven't been doing this for a year or two, but it's very tiring, and there doesn't seem to be much excitement. Neither the performers nor the audience are very happy.
Looking at this tour guide who did not follow the routine, the director worried again: "Will it be a cold show?"
"It's me and the elf!"
The two looked at him, hesitating to speak. He Huan also knew that they doubted whether he and the elf could hold a concert. What's more, this was a concert for their ethnic minority singers! It was to discover their music!
They were still very polite and didn't say anything out loud.
He Huan smiled and said, "There are so many singers in Nujiang, not to mention that you have invited foreign aid. I don't believe that they don't dare to speak without being called out! If it's really cold, just applaud and encourage them or boo them. If you can sing, dare to sing, then you can sing."
It’s called a singing competition!”
The two nodded. After all, people who do publicity work know that Xiao Bailong is the best at publicity!
Just like the Torch Festival, what everyone can remember now is the Little White Dragon antiphon, which made Stone City popular! No one remembers the other well-rehearsed performances of the Torch Festival.
"We really don't dare to let go of the others, but with you, we have confidence." The director looked at the minister.
The minister also nodded.
He Huan said with a smile: "You have to have confidence in your people, not to mention that you have invited so many singers, and you are afraid that they won't be able to sing?"
The two of them finally smiled and felt much more relaxed, and went to arrange the staff to step up the trouble.
