Chapter 288 The highest level of 'behind the scenes'
At eight o'clock in the evening, the light snow that had been falling all day finally stopped.
After slowly putting down the call from Guangzhou at the guest house of the Pujiang Propaganda Department, Liao Mingzu immediately remembered the call he received yesterday.
[Mr. Liao, the first wave of sales climax for "Rose Blooms Everywhere" is expected to start tomorrow.
All the new promotional posters have been put up, right?
Prepare a delivery truck in advance, load it with extra tapes, and prepare it for delivery at any time.
Remember, you must leave someone in front of the electro-activation machine...]
What Jiang Shan said on the other end of the phone actually had the same goal: to be prepared, Pujiang's "Rose" tape was going to be a big hit.
"It's Radio and Television's phone number, right?"
Xiao Yuan, a salesman who lived in the same house as Liao Mingzu, asked while soaking his feet: "What did you say again?"
"What else can I say, of course I'm here to inquire about the sales of tapes,"
After finishing speaking, Liao Mingzu picked up a copy of "Oriental Metropolis Daily" on the bedside: "In addition, the above asked us to pay close attention to the trends of various newspapers in Pujiang... just in case something unexpected happens."
"Just in case something unexpected happens?" Xiao Yuan has been unable to hear this recently: "What? Did you hear anything else over there?"
"What kind of news can there be? I just heard that several reporters from Pujiang came to interview. The radio and television are worried that they will write some articles about the music after they return."
Xiao Yuan: "Don't talk about them, even I have this worry."
Liao Mingzu glanced at the newspaper in his hand: "You shouldn't memorize it that much."
"Manager," Xiao Yuan knew there was something in the other person's words: "Why didn't you mention the two articles in Oriental Metropolis Daily?"
"Let's not mention it now. Let's wait and see the effect."
"Looking at it today, it doesn't seem like there's been much of a response."
"Alas~" Liao Mingzu sighed helplessly: "I won't mention it anymore."
It was precisely for this reason that he didn't mention this to his boss on the phone just now.
"Breaking through the 100,000 sales mark", "In response to the appeal of the masses, a small number of tapes of "Rose Blooms Everywhere" have come to our city."
Like the previous two news bulletins, today's "Oriental Metropolis Daily" also published news about "Rose Blooms Everywhere".
Liao Mingzu understood that the article in the newspaper should be the reason why Jiangshankou said it was going to be a big hit.
In fact, several reports in a row have indeed boosted the sales of tapes.
Compared with the beginning, each bookstore can sell one to two hundred tapes every day.
But Liao Mingzu had not seen any of the "big sales", "queuing up to buy" and "hard to find a box" scenes that Jiang Shan had described before.
"do not care,"
Liao Mingzu, who couldn't control it even if he wanted to, pulled the quilt over his head: "Let's hold on here for another two months. If it doesn't work, we will go home."
In the previous phone calls, the leaders of Guangdong Radio and Television repeatedly reminded that there was not much time left before the loan repayment in the second quarter.
…
[In addition to these few industrialists who took it as their mission to resist Japan and save the country, there were also many literary and artistic workers who resolutely resisted the Japanese and puppets.
Among them, Ms. Gong Qiuxia, known as the "lark", faced the rude singing request made by the Japanese and puppets, not only refused the temptation of gold bars, but even ruined her good voice.
The song "Rose Blooms Everywhere" she once sang is still selling well in overseas markets...]
In today's "Oriental Metropolis Daily", an article written by Jiang Shan not only paid tribute to national entrepreneurs such as "Samsung Brand Daily Chemicals" and "Zhonghua Brand Pencils", but also mentioned a few words about "Rose Blooms Everywhere"
's original song.
But what Jiang Shan said about "be prepared for big sales" was referring to another piece of news.
The photo of Zhu Fengbo, Pan Hong and Liu Xiaoqing in the "Weekly Star" column is the highlight of today's "Oriental Metropolis Daily".
Not only the country, but even Liao Mingzu felt that the "Pacific" spring was coming when he saw it for the first time.
It's a pity that until nightfall, he still didn't see the hot sales scene of "Rose Blooms Everywhere".
"Alas~"
"well!"
After two sighs, the lights at the "Pacific" store in Shanghai obviously went out earlier than before.
…
At this moment, a wonderful TV program is being broadcast in the "Film and Television World" column of Pujiang TV Station.
"Dear viewers, my name is Liu Xiaoqing,"
On the TV screen, Liu Xiaoqing, who was smiling like a flower, was being interviewed openly:
"In the radio drama of the famous novel "Insidious", I will voice the heroine Cuiping."
"Hello viewers, I am Chen Peisi, who plays Jiaqi in "Look at This Family","
On the screen, Chen Peisi smiled politely: "In the radio drama "Latent", I will dub the role of Xie Ruolin..."
As soon as the camera turned, Pan Hong's smiling face appeared immediately: "Hello everyone, I am Pan Hong, and I would like to wish the recording of the radio drama "Latent" a smooth success..."
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Fengbo. Congratulations on the radio drama "Latent"..."
Since the launch of Pujiang TV's "Film and Television World" column, it has instantly become a must-see program for viewers.
Tonight, when several well-known celebrities appeared one after another, every household in front of the screen suddenly felt their eyes brighten.
Speaking of which, the current public has never seen actors stepping out of film and television dramas!
"Hello everyone, I am Ding Jianhua, who voices Zhen Youmei. I will continue to voice Wan Qiu in the radio drama "Latent"."
"I am Qiao Zhen, who voices the male protagonist Roy in "The Blue Bridge". In the radio drama "Latent", I will voice the male protagonist Yu Zecheng..."
"Hello viewers, I am Lu Xiao, and I am also the Xiangzi in "The Gorgeous Family"..."
"I am Tong Zirong, the voice actor of Zorro. Congratulations on the smooth launch of the radio drama "Latent"."
Just as the entire audience continued to stare at the screen, familiar voices came out from the mouths of unfamiliar comrades.
The dubbing actors from the translation studio made their first appearance, giving the audience a fresh experience that they had never experienced before.
It also made them remember a key message: this radio drama "Insidious" must not be simple.
Even ordinary people are aware of things, and the publishing and distribution departments in front of the TV naturally think more about it.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, I am Zhao Zhongxiang, the host of China Central Television,"
"I am the host Song Shixiong."
The appearance of two well-known hosts at the same time brought tonight's "Film and Television World" to a climax.
Under the ecstatic gaze of the audience, the two people on the screen said together:
"Congratulations on the successful recording of the radio drama of the famous novel "Latent", and I also wish all the viewers in front of the TV a happy holiday and good health."
This is the only opening message with a New Year's greeting, which was urgently added by CCTV's deputy director Zhou Yeming.
The one that Gu Zhengzheng felt like a treasure was placed at the end of the program.
Injecting some cheerful festive atmosphere into this opening ceremony of "one person and one blessing".
It also allowed film and television workers of this era to see the wonderful charm of "behind the scenes" in advance.
…
In Pujiang in the early 1980s, dilapidated factories and messy alleys could be seen everywhere!
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t deserve the title of Magic City.
In the early morning, when rays of sunlight cast down from the sky, this city half-hidden in the snow actually showed a bit of the beauty of precipitation as thousands of sails passed by.
According to the time agreed the night before, Jiang Shan and Huang Hua walked into the editing room of the American Film Studio on time.
As I said before, the task that can be completed quickly as long as you are willing to cut it is indeed completed quickly.
"Xiao Jiang, you really didn't hesitate at all,"
Duan Xiaoxuan couldn't bear to watch it: "You cut such a long film into a fraction of 30 seconds."
"Otherwise, what should I do?" Jiang Shan has long been used to it: "We have spent many years preparing, but in the end we only have a few dozen minutes of essence left."
"That's the truth," Duan Xiaoxuan couldn't figure it out: "But... I always feel it's a bit of a pity."
"It's fine,"
Huang Hua had already thought about it for Jiang Shan: "Whenever Jiang Shan wants to see it, don't we have a spare roll of samples?"
"That's right," Jiang Shan thought the same way: "Now, our mission has finally come to an end."
"As soon as Teacher Jin's soundtrack is released, the two commercials of China Pencil will be completely different from each other."
"Yesterday, Director Xu said he wanted to invite us to eat somewhere?"
…
Just as all the editing staff were thinking about the celebration banquet, the car driven by the British and American BBC slowly drove out of the gate of the American Film Studio.
At this moment, in the conference room of the American Film Studio, several key people were gathered together to appreciate the script sent by the BBC.
This animated film script, which is said to have been compiled by many sinologists, has been thoughtfully printed into a Chinese and English bilingual version by BBC TV.
Compared with Wang Chang and Dai Tielang, who were full of curiosity, Te Wei and Yan Dingxian looked absent-minded.
Ten minutes later, director Te Wei simply threw away the script and stopped reading: "It's such a mess. What do these screenwriters want to express?"
"Hey, dear," Wang Xiang read through it quickly: "From the beginning of Pangu to the creation of heaven and earth, all the way to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"."
"It's all pieced together. He wants every piece of mythology."
"But I can't afford it."
"I can only write a little bit of everything."
"How do we shoot this kind of one-pot script?"
"One of the plots looked okay, a bit like the plot in "Ping Yao Zhuan"."
"..."
It’s obvious that this animated script from a capitalist TV station is considered amateurish in the eyes of a few backbones.
But what Tewei was more concerned about at this time was the capitalist TV station's operating model for cartoons.
"Do you still remember what Xiao Jiang said last night?" Te Wei said this to Yan Dingxian.
"Of course I remember," Yan Ding knew what he wanted to say first: "You want to talk about animation peripherals, right?"
"By the way," Tewei had been recalling just now: "Periphery, this is the periphery."
At this moment, except for Yan Dingxian, none of the people sitting here understood what the factory director wanted to say.
"What are you talking about? What are those peripherals...?"
"I don't know if you have noticed an additional request from BBC TV just now,"
Before, Tewei wouldn't have cared about that sentence.
But after Comrade Xiao Jiang did some popular science last night, he realized the difference between the American Film Studio and the BBC.
"After the filming of the film co-operated by both parties is completed, the BBC, which provided the filming funds, will have the commercial operation rights of all animated images in the film... Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"It means that the animated images designed by our factory will all belong to them..."
Sure enough, as Jiang Shan said last night, the importance foreign countries attach to cartoon peripherals has already been engraved in the bones of capitalists.
"Teletubbies", "Garden Babies", "Shaun the Sheep"... It is expected that the British BBC, which lives at the top of the animation industry chain, can make such a request.
However, even though American Film Studio agreed to many of the other party's demands, it was still divested by the other party 15 months later.
In the past life, the animation image that the studio always felt was not very interesting in the eyes of the American Film Studio was repeatedly used in endless tricks by others.
When "The Book of Heavenly Stories" was brought back to the screen after many years.
KFC responded immediately and launched a limited edition toy of the same type as "Tales from Heaven".
The ingenious design of the matryoshka doll won the hearts of both adults and children as soon as it was launched.
It seems that KFC not only wants to make money from those born in the 1990s and 2000s, but also wants to make money from those born in the 70s and 80s.
An ordinary three-in-one set, the highest price was actually 258 yuan.
"Having seen these things, today's children should compete with us who are nearly 40 years old."
"I didn't think anything of it when I was a kid, but now I love her so much!"
"All my childhood memories came back at once."
"KFC is all sold out, so we can only buy at a high price."
“Although it’s expensive, I’m not what I used to be now.”
"KFC really understands China."
Compared with the previous life, the factory director Tewei, who had already realized the concept of peripherals, felt that he should go out and take a closer look.
…
Every office in the American Film Studio performs its duties as always.
A black car quickly stopped at the gate of the Meiying Factory.
As soon as the car door opened, Liao Mingzu took steps.
"Comrade, who are you looking for? Hey, I'm talking about you..."
The master in the reception room didn't pay attention and saw a figure jumping over.
When Liao Mingzu, who was sweating profusely, opened the door of the editing room, everyone in the room was surprised.
"Mr. Liao,"
Jiang Shan quickly recognized the person who came: "Why are you here?"
The next second, Jiang Shan's expression changed: "What happened?"
"Something big happened, something big happened,"
Liao Mingzu, who was holding on to the door frame and panting heavily, stared at Jiangshan with his eyes: "The tape... Rose... is selling like crazy, it's going on sale."
"I said what I said, I said what I said,"
Jiang Shan ran to the door of the room in two steps and patted Liao Mingzu on the shoulder:
"I told you the day before yesterday that the tape was going to be a big hit. I'm pretty confident about the market in Pujiang."
"It's not Pujiang."
"Um?"
"An hour ago, there was a call from Guangzhou, asking me to go back quickly to deal with the emergency."
Liao Mingzu's eyes were almost green at this moment:
"Yanjing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hangcheng...Pacific Company's ordering phone numbers are almost overwhelmed by the shopping malls in these cities..."
