Cao Weidong immediately thought of "Unforgettable Tonight".
This song is really famous.
Some people even joked about it in the past life.
The Spring Festival Gala cannot lose "Unforgettable Tonight", just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!
It can be said that this song has almost become an indispensable cultural symbol.
Looking at the reason for its success, Cao Weidong thinks it was the right time.
The words fit at the right time.
At the right time, everyone’s voice was sung.
Say goodbye to the past, cherish the present, and look forward to the future!
Of course, another reason is that the Spring Festival Gala has been followed for many years, and everyone has feelings for it.
Cao Weidong really wants to put this song in the New Year's performance.
Serves as the closing song of the entire party.
But after thinking for a while, he gave up this tempting idea.
The cultural atmosphere between this time and that time was different.
If this song were released in this era, it might not be popular, and it might even get him into trouble.
Cao Weidong is here to create a show, not to cause trouble, so it’s better to be on the safe side.
So he set his sights on red songs again.
"Let me see, which song are you going to copy this time?"
It's a pity that after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't squeeze a popular song out of his mind.
In his previous life, he only listened to red songs when he was very young.
I can hum a few of the familiar red songs.
But that’s all.
After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea.
"I'm really over the top. Why do I have to think of it myself? Why don't I just hire someone to compose the music and write the lyrics?"
There were many well-known singers and artists at this time.
The popular songs I listened to in my previous life were composed by these singers.
You can definitely ask them for help.
At this time, Ding Qiunan quietly pulled the corner of Cao Weidong's clothes and asked pitifully.
"Can I submit a solo song on the program list?"
Ding Qiunan is very popular among the literary and art propaganda team with her good looks and oriole-like singing voice.
Many team members extended an olive branch to her.
Ding Qiunan has several programs.
In a small scene at the finale, she played a female character who dares to love and hate.
She also appears in group dance performances, model plays, choirs and other programs.
But like all club members, Ding Qiunan also wants to perform a show on her own.
Sometimes the environment can change a person.
Ding Qiunan is an example.
Cao Weidong smiled and said gently:
"I have other plans for you, and you are very important in the cultural performance. Please give me a few more days, and I will definitely give you a surprise."
Ding Qiunan is also associated with a high-level mission, and he doesn't want to give up the mission reward.
"Yeah."
Ding Qiunan nodded, almost lowering his head to his chest.
Cao Weidong raised his eyebrows.
He smelled the smell of spring.
.......
The next day.
Cao Weidong knocked on the door of the factory director's office and directly explained his purpose.
Director Li is good at digging and has a wide network of contacts. He may have had contact with artists.
Factory Director Li was not in a hurry to answer Cao Weidong's question.
Instead, he took out a cigarette and took a few puffs, then frowned and asked.
"Is it necessary to ask someone to compose a song?"
For him, the cultural performance is just a routine job, and there is really no need to mobilize such a large number of people.
Cao Weidong said with great certainty.
"I think it's necessary."
"But..."
"The expenses for hiring people are all mine."
Director Li waved his hand.
"Don't worry, this is not a matter of money. The money can be provided by the factory."
"It's just that the few folk artists I know are a little arrogant, so we may not be able to invite them."
Cao Weidong doesn't believe that there are people in the world who don't care about money.
I can only say that the money given was not enough and it did not impress them.
Under Cao Weidong's repeated insistence, Director Li finally compromised.
"I know an old gentleman named Jiang. He wrote a very famous song. You can go and visit him."
Director Li mentioned a song title.
Cao Weidong was in awe.
He took Mr. Jiang’s home address.
Instead of rushing to visit, I asked my friends first.
After asking around like this, I found out that there are actually people around me who know Mr. Jiang.
It is said that this old man was also a soldier.
He has composed many famous songs, and his most proud works reach the ears of heaven and are deeply loved by leaders.
The strength is naturally there.
It's just that Mr. Jiang has a weird temper, and can even be said to be a bit stubborn. For this reason, he has suffered a lot.
But this old man is very stubborn.
After so many years, I still go my own way without changing.
Cao Weidong frowned.
It is indeed a difficult target.
"Does Mr. Jiang have any hobbies?"
The manager of the supply and marketing cooperative who provided the information spared his head and said.
"I just love to eat. This old man is very particular about eating. There must be meat in every meal."
Cao Weidong repeated.
"Love to eat?"
The manager said affirmatively: "Everyone's life has been difficult these past few years. Mr. Jiang has special provisions and can get a lot of good things, but he has exchanged them for meat."
"You exchanged it at my place. He is a regular customer here."
This is a very important message.
Cao Weidong suddenly laughed: "That will be easy."
.......
At the same time.
In a corner of the steel rolling mill, Ge Shulan found Xu Qingying, looking panicked.
"Director Xu, I've been feeling restless lately. I feel like someone has been staring at me."
Xu Qingying frowned and said impatiently.
"Stop being so nervous. Why are people staring at you?"
Ge Shulan was a little scared.
"Have the things I did been discovered? Could it be someone from the Security Department investigating me?"
Xu Qingying laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Don't scare yourself. Their old director is back home to recuperate. The new deputy director has only been in office for a few days. Why would he send someone to keep an eye on you when he has nothing to do?"
Then she interrupted Ge Shulan and said instead: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about the recent profits."
Upon hearing this, Ge Shulan finally recovered from her panic and looked at Xu Qingying expectantly.
"This time we resold a total of 130 yuan. According to the ratio, I get 80 yuan and you get 50 yuan."
"Director Xu, my family is in urgent need of money. Can you give me more money this time?"
Ge Shulan said hesitantly.
In fact, she was a little dissatisfied.
After all, she is the one who takes the biggest risk, but every time the money is divided, Xu Qingying takes the big part and she takes the small part.
That's not fair.
Xu Qingying pretended to be concerned and asked: "What's wrong?"
Ge Shulan casually gave a reason.
"A nephew at home is getting married, and relatives are coming to borrow money from our family."
"If this is the case, we must express that I will lend you thirty yuan in my personal capacity and you will pay me back when the time comes."
Xu Qingying said with a smile.
"I won't say much about our relationship. You will pay me back together next month, and the interest will be calculated as one dollar."
Damn!
Ge Shulan was stunned.
In her hand, she held the extra thirty yuan given by Xu Qingying, and she couldn't accept it immediately or not.
