Chapter 409 To destroy a country, first destroy the country’s culture
change
In the past few days, CCTV and Pujiang TV have successively broadcast the complete video of "Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City".
Not only that, the news that my country's two leading bicycle companies are very popular abroad has also been enthusiastically reported several times by the announcer.
Together with directors Wang Fulin and Zhang Lu, they received awards from their own studios.
It's also the same on these days.
Wang Shixiang has moved all the Ming and Qing furniture that he collected for many years into No. 34 Qianliang Hutong, Yanjing.
At this stage, Jiang Shan has no intention of messing with this courtyard house, so he will simply leave this house to the elders for fun.
After Jiangshan distributed a few keys, No. 34 Qianliang Hutong immediately became the old base of Huang Yongyu, Wang Shixiang, Zhu Jiaxin, Qi Gong, and Xu Bangda.
Occasionally, Shen Congwen and Zhang Boju, who had already been discharged from the hospital, would come over to join in the fun.
Starting from the year before last, several district housing management offices in Yanjing City, while repairing old houses in Hutong, also received the task of sorting and protecting ancient buildings and former residences of celebrities.
From the moment they received the order, each housing management office applied for expert help from the Forbidden City Research Institute.
The person in charge of this work at that time was Zhu Jiaxin.
Now, because of a food commercial that has returned with great success, Wang Shixiang's name has also been invited to it.
Both old men did this counterpart work with great enthusiasm.
While guiding the work on-site, I would often dig out one or two old components among the piles of dismantled parts and bring them back to Qianliang Hutong.
No, this afternoon, Wang Shixiang and Zhu Jiashu brought back another pair of birds on a bicycle.
After everything was packed up, the two old comrades sat in the yard with two huanghuali trees.
Looking at the pile of old objects in the corridor, Wang Shixiang decided: "We can't do this. If it's not a first-class good thing in the future, don't take it from here."
"Which of the items you can show us is bad?" Zhu Jiaxin said, "They are all good old stuff."
"It needs to be better," Wang Shixiang said, "the kind that is better than the better, otherwise this house will be full for us in just a few months."
"That's true,"
Zhu Jiazhu, who felt that this was reasonable, suddenly noticed: "I think this is good, let's just compete to see who gets it..."
…
Chen Qiang, who had just entered the courtyard of Yanying Factory after get off work, received a call from his son from Pujiang.
"Dad, think about it first," Chen Peisi said on the phone, "You can give me an answer tomorrow."
"What else is there to consider?"
Chen Qiang grabbed the phone and agreed to his son's request without thinking.
This time, he would not miss it no matter what.
When I think of the magnificent appearances of several high-ranking officials from the Ming Dynasty in "Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City" on TV.
Chen Qiang regretted turning down the guest appearance in "Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City".
"Just tell that friend of yours and I will buy a ticket and go to Pujiang to meet you tomorrow."
"So Dad, you agreed," Chen Peisi nodded to Jiang Shan beside her: "Okay, then we will drive to pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Peisi and Jiang Shan seemed happy.
"I'm telling you, second son," Jiang Shan enthusiastically lit a cigarette for Chen Peisi: "Gutai has already made an agreement with teacher Sun Daolin. We are just waiting for your father's nod."
"it's good now,"
Chen Peisi has always wanted to do something for her buddy:
"My dad has already nodded. We'll talk to him the day after tomorrow. We can do whatever we need to do without any delay."
While they were talking, the second brother Jiang He walked into the third brother's room with a box of tapes.
Jiang Shan: "Second brother."
Chen Peisi also said: "Second brother is here."
"Um,"
As soon as Jiang He entered the door, he handed the tape out: "The two telegrams have been recorded, can you listen to them?"
"How can I understand this?"
When Jiang Shan took the tape, he turned his head and said, "It's okay. I'll ask an old expert to help me listen to it later."
"That's okay." Jiang He turned around and left.
"Second brother," Jiang Shan quickly stopped him: "Are you going out again?"
"There are still a few set props for "Fishing Lights" that are not yet completed."
Jiang He opened the bicycle lock with a click: "I'll just add a few more late shifts and that'll be it."
"Just leave it alone," Jiang Shan said, "Leave the rest to me."
"Okay, Third Brother,"
At this time, the second sister-in-law Lu Xiao leaned against the door while chewing an apple and looked at Jiang He: "Just let him go, your second brother likes to be busy with these things."
Jiang He, who was pushing the bicycle, looked at his wife with a pursed lips.
The two of them didn't say anything. They laughed several times in the distance before they closed their relationship.
The two bachelors, Jun Dejiangshan and Peisi, suddenly became unhappy.
"Come,"
After returning to the room and sitting down again, Jiang Shan spread out his work diary again:
"Tomorrow morning we will go to the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra to hear how the arrangement is going. You have more experience in the drama troupe than me, so remember to listen carefully then."
"Well," Chen Peisi nodded seriously: "What about the afternoon?"
"Afternoon?" Jiang Shan continued: "In the afternoon, the lesbians will try on cheongsams and have a dress-up dance."
“Have you finished customizing the cheongsam?”
"It's the batch made in my father's factory," Jiang Shan said, "The costumes for the Longfeng Cheongsam Shop are not finished yet, but the cheongsams of several actors have been shipped."
"No matter what it is," Chen Peisi thought for a while: "Anyway, tomorrow's dance studio will definitely be different."
"That is,"
Jiang Shan held a teapot: "The further you go, the more interesting it will be."
…
In a recording studio of the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra.
Jiang Shan, Chen Peisi and He Zhanhao, the arranger of "Butterfly Lovers", are sitting together to listen to the soundtrack.
This is Jiangshan's third visit.
"What about Xiao Jiang, these four soundtracks don't fit your plot?"
He Zhanhao, who has already collaborated with Jiang Shan on the theme song "Holy War" of "Latent", has no relationship with Jiang Shan at all.
"It seems like there needs to be some extra drama in the last part," Jiang Shan listened carefully and said, "What do you think? Lao Chen."
Once they entered the work, Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi immediately seemed to be more engaged than anyone else.
At this moment, the two people raised their ears together, and their expressions were no less than those of underground workers eavesdropping on intelligence.
"I also feel that I need to add a few more strokes," said Chen Peisi, who was already familiar with the script:
"According to the script of "Yu Guang Song", the piece of music that appears at the end should correspond to the happy smiles of the martyrs."
Jiang Shan went on to describe: "I have no regrets about my efforts, and I am full of hope for my future life."
Jiang Shan has a habit: he doesn't like tragedy, not at all.
His cognition is interspersed with humorous and nostalgic narration, which is more impressive to the audience.
"In other words," He Zhanhao understood: "The last piece of music does not express tragedy, but a kind of..."
Jiangshan: "The clouds are lifted to reveal the sun, and the grace and ease of retreating after success is achieved."
"I got it,"
He Zhanhao wrote down a few key words in his little notebook: "Go back and wait for my call, and then come back to hear the results."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher He."
…
Jiang Shan was originally just arranging a dance for Pujiang Dance Theatre.
Under the entrustment of Pujiang TV Station and Li Qiang of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, "Yu Guang Song" was turned into a dual-line task that was conducted simultaneously online and offline.
Compared with the dance competition of "Yu Guang Qu" which is only 8 minutes long, Pujiang TV's "Yu Guang Qu" documentary is the highlight.
At this time, Pujiang Dance Theater, which fully cooperated with the filming work, felt like a mirror.
They understand that the better Pujiang TV's "Yu Guang Qu" is filmed, the greater the chance that the group's "Yu Guang Qu" will win an award.
After all, compared to other time-honored song and dance troupes, they are an unprotected little gang that really needs the support of relevant people.
…
Pujiang Dance Theater,office.
"Speaking of it, our group's luck is really good,"
When he thought of this, Deputy Commander Xia had a smile on his face:
"Not only did the dance segment get the full attention of Pujiang TV Station, but the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra was also invited to accompany us."
"Our group was only established last year," another deputy leader said: "Since its establishment, we have always wanted to make some achievements, but unfortunately we always fall short."
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank the two little girls Zhou Jie and Dong Zhizhi," Captain Liang said with emotion:
"I still can't forget the shock I felt when I saw the Pujiang Song and Dance Troupe perform "Up Spring Mountain".
I have never seen that kind of dance that is both joyful and festive, unites the nation, and is also grand and colorful."
Deputy Xia nodded. This was her first time meeting him: "So you agreed immediately after Xiao Zhou and Xiao Dong made the suggestion."
"Of course," Commander Liang said with a smile:
"When I heard that the person they were looking for was the director of "Up Spring Mountain", I immediately told them not to even go to class and to find someone for me quickly."
After a burst of laughter, Captain Liang continued:
"Thankfully, Comrade Jiang Shan was invited here. Look at what we have now.
As soon as he came, the TV station also came, followed by the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra, Pan Hong, Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Peisi...
So far, even Comrades Sun Daolin and Chen Qiang have been invited."
As Captain Liang narrated, the two deputy captains in the office kept nodding.
"Listening to your summary, I feel that our group must achieve unity and friendship with Comrade Jiangshan from now on."
"That's right," Commander Liang said:
"As long as Comrade Jiang Shan is willing to come, our group will continue to have innovative works. And as soon as Director Jiang arrives, industry support that we had never imagined before will immediately appear."
"That's right," Deputy Xia said:
"Take the current situation as an example. If we continue like this, our group's "Fishing Light Song" may not be as simple as winning an award. Maybe it can..."
She looked at the two comrades opposite, and the two opposite her were also looking at her.
"Get a grand prize?"
"The biggest one?"
"Don't think so much now," Captain Liang glanced at the time: "The girls should have changed into their costumes. Let's practice our dancing skills first."
…
Pujiang Dance Theater, practice room.
Today, 15 dancers have moved to the largest rehearsal room.
Although today they are only wearing a low-end version of simple cheongsam, the girls are still as happy as celebrating the Chinese New Year.
They lined up in a row and kept making concave shapes in front of the mirror.
"How are you feeling, everyone?"
"Are you still used to dressing up?"
Jiangshan, Chen Peisi, like two veteran cadres, cares about every move of the comrades.
"Director Jiang,"
Zhou Jie looked at herself in the mirror: "Do we have to wear exercise pants under the cheongsam? Isn't it unsightly to dance like this?"
"Must add,"
Jiang Shan said without conscience: "Only in this way can we face each other calmly during rehearsals, and no one will be embarrassed."
"But we didn't feel embarrassed."
"Director Jiang, you are not an outsider."
"Besides," Dong Zhizhi professionally guided: "As dancers, we are already used to wearing ballet or gymnastics uniforms for rehearsals."
Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi exchanged glances and were about to obey the girls' strong request.
Commander Liang and Deputy Commander Xia walked in with smiles.
"Okay, okay, please don't embarrass director Jiang anymore."
"Director Jiang is a conscientious person. When everyone gets in touch with each other for a long time, he will get rid of it."
"Come on," Deputy Xia clapped his hands: "Today is our first rehearsal with costumes. We must show off the softness of the cheongsam dance later..."
…
On Sichuan Road in Pujiang HK District, Sun Daolin, dressed in a gray cloth gown, strolled on the sidewalk in the 1980s with an expression on his face that said, "This is where I once fought."
The moment he raised his eyes and looked forward, a bookstore on the street suddenly caught his attention.
In a street full of new society in the 1980s, this bookstore with a signboard of "Commercial Press" has a completely gray appearance from the Anti-Japanese War period.
"Click~"
Jiang Shan, who was following the camera, raised his hand and called for a stop: "Change the machine to the black and white film machine."
After collecting his own camera, Zhang Lu quickly connected it with the TV station's equipment.
This Xinhua Bookstore on Sichuan Road was called "1925 Bookstore" in later generations.
It belongs to the earliest red bookstore in Shanghai - Hongkou Branch of Pujiang Commercial Press.
The Hongkou branch of the Commercial Press, founded in 1925, is the same as several other presses and printing plants in Shanghai.
In 1932, Japan became one of the main bombing points in its plan to "destroy a country, first destroying its culture."
Fortunately, compared to other bombed press houses, this branch on Sichuan Road did not suffer much damage.
Today, this store, which has been renamed "Xinhua Bookstore", was decorated in advance by Comrade Jiang Shan to look like it was during the Anti-Japanese War.
At this moment, Sun Daolin, who once played Comrade Li Bai in the movie "The Eternal Wave", was standing in this underground communication station where he had been lurking together.
Through a window, Comrade "Li Bai" seemed to see his comrades exchanging information in the bookstore.
Liu Xiaoqing, who was wearing a white vertical striped cheongsam, naturally handed back a copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to the bookstore owner Chen Qiang.
With a clang, Sun Daolin pushed open the door of the bookstore.
The moment he stepped into the bookstore, the bookstore, which had once again changed to color film, had transformed into a "Xinhua Bookstore" in the 1980s.
At the same time, Liu Xiaoqing and Chen Qiang also changed into the costumes from the movie "Look at This Family".
"Comrade,"
Outside the counter, Chen Qiang shouted to salesman Liu Xiaoqing: "Bring me a book on electronics."
"Here, comrade"
The smiling Liu Xiaoqing changed from the bad service attitude in the movie: "Can you read this book?"
Seeing the unity, friendship, and mutual help before him, Comrade "Li Bai" with a smile in his eyes slowly turned around and walked out of the bookstore.
"Click~"
With a burst of applause from the filming site, the online filming of "Fishing Light Song" was completed.
1980, late July.
The Pujiang Dance Theater participating group, led by deputy leaders Jiang Shan and Xia, set out for Dalian, the host city of the National Dance Competition...
