Early the next morning, Xiao Lu stood at the door of the minister's office with a sad face.
The brainwashing power of the song "Fly Free" was so great that he danced to the song in his dreams all night long, feeling exhausted as if he hadn't slept.
As soon as Minister Zhang entered the door, he saw Xiao Lu's face with sunken eyes, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"Xiao Lu, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, thank you, Minister Zhang, for your concern. It was because I investigated Wu Bai's matter too late and didn't sleep well."
"Hmm."
Minister Zhang sat down on the chair and picked up the tea cup.
"I was just about to find you. How is the investigation into Wu Bai's case going?"
Xiao Lu reluctantly put the information in his hand gently on the desk.
"All the information that can be found is here. Minister, please take a look!"
Minister Zhang put down his tea cup and started browsing quickly.
Five minutes later, he put down the information and looked at Xiao Lu.
"So, this Wu Bai doesn't have any dark history?"
"Yes, Minister Zhang, I wrote on the last page that according to the dictations of the neighbor's aunts, two girls came to the door..."
"Eh~ What kind of dark history is this? A young, handsome and talented guy like Wu Bai doesn't have hundreds of girls falling for him? If nothing else, I would like him if I were a girl!
"
Xiao Lu smacked his lips and hesitated.
"Other than that, there's really nothing else..."
"Okay, then make arrangements for Wu Bai to come to the office to meet me at five o'clock in the afternoon! Although this young man is so good, he still needs to meet him once to feel at ease!"
…
At 4:45 pm, Wu Bai appeared in front of the government building on time.
For today's meeting, he postponed the scheduled live broadcast until after nine o'clock.
"Secretary Chen, I have arrived at the government building. Please pick me up."
As soon as he arrived, Wu Bai dialed Xiao Chen's phone number.
What he didn't know was that Xiao Chen took the matter of contacting and receiving him from Xiao Lu.
…
In the government secretary's office, an excited Xiao Chen combed his hair again and again in front of the mirror, and then walked out of the office with satisfaction to pick up Wu Bai. He wanted to leave a good first impression on Wu Bai.
This is also because when he called Wu Bai in the morning, he was warmed to his heart by the polite and enthusiastic attitude of the other party, which made him, as a fan of Wu Bai, like Wu Bai to a new level.
Xiao Chen works in the publicity department and has met many celebrities. However, those celebrities all put on airs and emphasized, which was completely opposite to the Wu Bai he liked.
In Xiao Chen's heart, only people like Wu Bai are qualified to be called "stars", and those so-called stars are just because some people like to dominate.
And Xiao Chen's mentality became even more out of control after meeting Wu Bai himself.
"Teacher Wu Bai, please come this way."
Xiao Chen has never been so enthusiastic about other people since he started working.
"You're welcome, just call me Wu Bai."
Wu Bai nodded with a smile, and his bright smile swayed into Xiao Chen's heart.
Although Xiao Chen is also a man, when faced with such a gentle and polite Wu Bai, my heart likes him even more.
Of course, what you like is not what you like.
Not long after, Xiao Chen led Wu Bai to the door of the minister's office. From the crack in the ajar door, the voices of Minister Zhang and Vice Minister Zhu floated out.
"Minister Zhang, this song is the song that our team will play when they appear on camera. I think it is most appropriate to play the national anthem!"
"Lao Zhu, I understand what you mean. But as far as the national anthem is concerned, we have to use it on more serious occasions. This trip is a cultural exchange, and it is intended to export our culture. It is not good to use the national anthem, right?"
"I still think the national anthem is the best form of cultural export, so you can never go wrong with the national anthem!"
Minister Zhang paused and laughed.
"Lao Zhu, let's put this matter aside for a while. We will discuss it again when everyone is here and see what everyone thinks about this matter!"
Wu Bai raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
The two people in the office looked at each other and nodded understandingly.
"Please come in."
Wu Bai opened the office door in response.
I saw a middle-aged man with stern eyes sitting behind the desk inside the door, and another capable middle-aged man sitting on the sofa to the left of the desk.
The person sitting behind the desk must be the Secretary Zhang mentioned by Secretary Chen, and the person sitting on the sofa next to him is Vice Minister Zhu.
"Hello, Minister Zhang, Vice Minister Zhu, my name is Wu Bai."
Although the two people in front of him were both high-ranking officials, Wu Bai was not nervous at all. Instead, he calmly walked to the center of the room, stood up, and introduced himself to the two people sitting there.
Minister Zhang took a closer look.
The young man in front of him was indeed the one in the photo. Although modern beauty camera technology was advanced, he always felt that Wu Bai was more energetic in person than in the photo.
"Comrade Wu Bai, Xiao Chen must have told you the purpose of inviting you to the Propaganda Department."
Looking at the handsome and upright young man in front of him, Minister Zhang really liked him more and more.
"Secretary Chen made everything clear to me on the way here. I am very grateful to the two ministers for giving me this opportunity."
Although Wu Bai himself doesn't like flattery, he still needs to have the necessary courtesy.
And he really should thank the two ministers in front of him. If this news is announced, the stars in the entertainment industry will probably fight to death.
This time, Wu Bai truly "wins".
Minister Zhang and Vice Minister Zhu looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.
"Comrade Wu Bai, I wonder if you have decided on the show repertoire?"
Wu Bai smiled at Vice Minister Zhu who asked the question and nodded lightly.
"Pop music has been more than just an entertainment consumer product since its birth. Many melodies and lyrics have become a cultural symbol. However, songs with too strong main themes can only be spread within the nation, because people can understand the language and have profound feelings.
resonance."
Minister Zhang nodded involuntarily after listening to Wu Bai's words.
This is also the reason why he disagrees with using the national anthem as the team anthem. On this point of view, Wu Bai coincides with him.
"World pop songs tend to have upbeat rhythms, which make them more addictive. So the songs we are going to come up with this time must have both a national flavor and a pop color that is in line with world music, so that they can complement each other."
Seeing the two ministers looking at each other expectantly, Wu Bai smiled slightly.
"So in my idea, the song for this exhibition will be "The Most Dazzling National Style". This song combines national style and rap, and the team song..."
Wu Bai took out his mobile phone, opened the music player software, and played the climax of a song.
Immediately, high-pitched vocals and music with a distinct rhythm were played from the receiver of Wu Bai's mobile phone.
"The more turbulent and brave the world is, the more difficult it is for me to break through! I have been magnanimous and frank, and after five thousand years, it is finally my turn to play!"
If you listen carefully, this part of the chorus is also mixed with Cantonese.
"This is Xie Tingfeng's "Yellow Race", one of his masterpieces. I think this song not only expresses the mood of each of us descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, but it is also very high-pitched and passionate, and it is not a stereotyped song of praise.
It’s also a very good choice for spreading the word.”
Xiao Chen, who was standing behind Wu Bai, felt his patriotism in his heart ignited the moment the music played on his mobile phone receiver.
When he heard Wu Bai's explanation, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
If his two immediate superiors hadn't been at the scene, he would have applauded Wu Bai's speech.
Minister Zhang, who was sitting opposite Wu Bai, was obviously moved by his remarks.
To be honest, before Wu Bai arrived, the reason why he had to pause the discussion with Vice Minister Zhu was to use this time to think about what song was suitable.
Wu Bai's proposal just met all of Minister Zhang's requirements.
"Minister Zhang..."
Looking at Vice Minister Zhu who was hesitant to speak, Minister Zhang looked over with a kind expression.
"Lao Zhu, I think Wu Bai is right! If through this exhibition, two folk songs from our country can be promoted abroad, wouldn't it be great! What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Zhu could only forcefully laugh.
"Minister Zhang, your and Wu Bai's suggestions are very good, and I think they are good, very good!"
