...

"Fortunately, I'm not disgraced." Dong Qiao smiled and put the photo and negatives in front of Jin Yong, feeling glad that thanks to the newcomer I was facing just now, otherwise it would be difficult to get a job.

Jin Yong nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Our reporters are already in the Shanghai City, right?"

Dong Qiao nodded, "After following the official signing ceremony of the Sino-British Joint Statement, they split into two groups and headed south to Shanghai City, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to get the exclusive headlines. The interview team of the Universal Television alone is far stronger than us."

"We have our own unique reporting angle, and there is no need to compete with China Asia TV for wealth and prosperity." Jin Yong insisted on his shrewdness as a businessman. "The key is, did Deng Lijun agree to the exclusive interview with "Ming Zhou"?"

Dong Qiao, who was excited, replied: "It has been implemented. Deng Lijun said in person that she likes the gentle and honest reporting style of Ming Pao Weekly. After participating in the battle of NHK Red and White Songs, she went to Xiangjiang to complete this interview."

"That's great. With this exclusive interview, it's enough to ensure our sales around the New Year." Jin Yong was very pleased, "Hu Yinmeng hasn't contributed to "Mingyue" for a long time. What's her attitude?"

"Hu Yinmeng is currently in Los Angeles, USA. I have contacted her by phone. She said that she was unable to contribute to us in her recent writing style." Dong Qiao explained carefully.

"It's not like Hu Yinmeng, like Yishu and Lin Yanni, is looking for excuses to ask for the royalties. These talented women, either are not short of money, spend all their money, or are so frugal that they don't spend much money, so why are they so persistent about the royalties?" Jin Yong complained and picked up the cup.

"Hu Yinmeng didn't have the manuscript fee." Dong Qiao showed a strange look on her face. "She said that she could only write the parenting scriptures now, and the Ming Pao Monthly magazine definitely cannot ask for it."

Jin Yong squirted out a mouthful of water, coughed a few times and smiled bitterly: "I forgot why she hid in the United States."

Dong Qiao hurriedly comforted: "We have here in Ming Pao, so you can prepare for participating in the drafting of the Basic Law with peace of mind."

...

Saturday, December 22nd, the lunar winter solstice is the coldest time of the year, but the Shanghai City Concert Hall, which has a history of more than 50 years, is warm and warm. Deng Lijun's last stop of the global tour is held at this stage in China's economic center and fashion capital.

Although Tang Huan strongly emphasized that this was a pure artistic exchange, the actual public opinion reaction would definitely not be so simple.

On the one hand, Deng Lijun's song was banned in the mainland last year, and this year the mainland allowed her to hold concerts undoubtedly demonstrated an open attitude of keeping pace with the world; on the other hand, since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Baodao, which has begun to pursue the "three no" policy, is a bit embarrassing.

He can no longer control Deng Lijun like in the original time and space. Not to mention Tang Huan's support, the bad impact caused by the "Jiangnan Case" that just happened soon has left those rough means without room to gain a foothold.

In this case, only by following the flow of human favors can you comfort yourself. Deng Lijun's singing is the so-called "restoration" pioneer.

After all, with Tang Huan's intervention, the reason why both sides finally made a laissez-faire decision was largely because of confidence in the control of the inside - just a performance. No matter how much the outside talks, it is always a breeze blowing on the face. Respecting the preferences of the richest man is the most pragmatic approach.

Compared with the calmness of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the media's response can only be described as enthusiastic: In addition to the local media in Shanghai, foreign media including CCTV also came to join in the fun - if it can be broadcast, we will talk about whether it can be broadcast at that time. We will collect the materials first; overseas media even flocked to the official signing ceremony of the Sino-British Joint Statement, and even the media from Baodao also mixed in with the media in Xiangjiang to get the on-site reporting materials.

This scene was a bit messy, making all parties in Shanghai responsible for the reception busy, and also allowed them to understand what the style of the world's superstars looked like.

The more media there are, the more careful you need to deal with it. Deng Lijun only held a media meeting for about 15 minutes at the Wenhua Hotel where she was staying. She introduced her concert preparations and did not accept questions. Then, under heavy protection, she tried to minimize contact with the outside world. Fortunately, there was no trouble until the concert started.

"I didn't expect that the conditions here were first-class." Tang Huan sincerely praised the elegant and solemn Shanghai Concert Hall.

His deepest impression of this concert hall was the huge project of translating more than 60 meters and lifting more than 3 meters in the early 21st century in the original time and space.

"This is a senior performance holy place. To the distance, the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, to the nearest, to the world-famous flute player Lang Paer, all of whom have successfully performed on stage here." Mayor Wang smiled and introduced, "By the way, the 11th Shanghai-City Spring Music and Dance Festival has been held this year, and the opening main performance is also held here."

The person in charge of the Shanghai Concert Hall inserted his words and said, "The most important indicator to judge the quality of a concert hall is the reverberation time. If the reverberation time is long, the music will be full and round; on the contrary, it will be monotonous and shriveled. But if it is too long, it will affect the clarity."

He raised his hand and pointed to the interior of the concert hall, saying proudly: "The structure here just fits the narrow boot shape, with a reverberation time of 1.5 seconds, which makes the sound effect excellent. I believe that the artistic effect of Miss Deng's concert will be very perfect."

"I have to thank Mayor Wang for his recommendation." Tang Huan laughed loudly and turned to introduce the uniqueness of this concert hall to everyone in English.

This time, the business inspection team that followed him to China was very important, and the members included large international companies such as General Electric, HP, and Motorola.

Needless to say, General Electric has rebuilt trade relations with China as early as 1979; HP was directly introduced by the Ministry of Electronics Industry under the recommendation of former US Secretary of State Kissinger, and has decided to establish China's HP Company next year; as for Motorola, it is a collaborator from Tang Huanla.

Not to mention, there are experts in this group. Compared with the Boston Symphony Hall, which was first designed using scientific acoustic principles, we can give a good review of the Shanghai City Concert Hall.

...

During the chat, the time for the concert to begin came unknowingly. Zhao Zhongxiang, who served as the host of this year's Spring Festival Gala for the first time, took the stage to report. Tang Huan didn't expect him to deliberately liven up the atmosphere, just as long as he could shake the scene.

The Shanghai City Concert Hall can accommodate more than 1,100 people, but this capacity obviously cannot meet the demand. In fact, the audience should be close to 1,500, which is very crowded, but the organization is similar to the Spring Festival Gala. It is orderly.

Tang Huan looked upstairs and could tell from the clothes and manners of some audience members that many of them were literary and artistic workers. It is estimated that they felt that the opportunity to appreciate the performances of world-class pop music superstars up close was too rare, so they made a special trip to the venue regardless of the cost.

Deng Lijun's songs are indeed very popular in mainland China. Take this year's Spring Festival Gala for example. The first time she invited a Xiangjiang artist to perform, Zhang Mingmin became famous with her song "My Chinese Heart", and Xi Xiulan's "Alishan Girl" is also popular. However, "Returning to My Parent's Home" sung by mainland singer Zhu Mingying is even more popular. After the tape was released, the sales volume reached 5 million copies within half a year.

In fact, this song "Return to My Mother's Home" is the song "Little Wife Returns to My Mother's Home" sung by Deng Lijun in 1982. After hearing it from a cassette given by his friend, Zhu Mingying was deeply attracted. However, the mainland cannot listen to Deng Lijun's songs publicly and cannot pass the review of the Spring Festival Gala. So Zhu Mingying passed the test in accordance with Deng Lijun's ancestral home in Hebei and used the "Hebei folk song" "Return to My Mother's Home".

It can be seen from this that Deng Lijun's songs are sometimes subtle influential. Many people in the mainland have been exposed to her music without realizing it. The popular artists at the same time on Baodao are often busy rushing around the show to make money.

Deng Lijun took great pains to arrange the songs in this concert. First, she sang several classic old songs from the Old Sea Times. For example, "Song of Four Seasons" and "Singing Girl in the World", which suddenly narrowed the distance from the audience and received long and warm applause.

In the following interactive session, Deng Lijun expressed deep gratitude to people from all walks of life who supported this concert and made a simple cooperation with Zhao Zhongxiang. In response to the request of the other party, he sang a self-contained Huangmei opera that is currently popular in mainland China, which is a "Scattering Flowers of Heaven".

Then, in line with the classical music craze in the 1980s in mainland China, Deng Lijun selected several songs from her Chinese-style record "Dare Love" of Tang poetry and Song lyrics and performed it.

The final song is "Walking on the Road to Life" that you will sing at every stop of the World Tour.

To be honest, Deng Lijun's Shanghai City concert was very cautious in all aspects and there was no breakthrough in style. Of course, this did not mean that the level had fallen. The applause from the audience below explained everything.

...

After the concert, Tang Huan looked for time and asked Deng Lijun, "Your performances this year are not usually dense, and your body can't bear it? Especially after completing the Shanghai City concert, the world tour with one billion applause is considered to be a perfect merit. Don't let the tense nerves suddenly loosen up, and the fatigue suddenly surges up."

"I'm full of my heart. I have a specialized career. I have to deal with such work intensity alone. I have at least ten years of senior experience." Teresa Teng's eyes were bright and full of fighting spirit. "Besides, in a few days, it will be a fight between nhk red and white songs. How could I relax?"

Deng Lijun entered the Japanese music scene, and her highest goal was to participate in the NHK Red and White Song battle. She was about to get what she wanted in a few days, but Tang Huan really couldn't stop her.

He nodded and made a decision: "Okay, then you can leave to Tokyo tomorrow. This will not only avoid the troubles that may arise from too much stay, but also adjust your status in Japan as soon as possible and rest and prepare for the battle."

...

When Deng Lijun left Shanghai City, the media naturally scattered, and the world became much more purified.

Tang Huan, who had completely settled down, attended the ceremony of some projects in cooperation with Shanghai City, including the semiconductor factory where the other party fought for the past from his hometown. Although its manufacturing process was a little behind, it was really a hot commodity for China.

However, these things are all a formality that is appropriate in the question. Tang Huan's visit to China this time is the cooperation between Universal and Asia Satellite Corporation and the mainland aerospace industry.

First, it is to witness the success of Universal Asia One; second, it is to entrusted repair of Universal Asia Two and subsequent launches.

This damaged stationary orbit communication satellite was originally the US Western Union-6, but after being launched into orbit by the US space shuttle Challenger on February 3 this year, it failed to enter orbit. On November 12 this year, the US space shuttle Discovery took advantage of the opportunity to carry out a mission and renamed it as Universal 2.

Universal Asia 2 was also manufactured by Hughes Aircraft Corporation of the United States. The satellite body is a cylinder with a diameter of 2.2 meters, a height of 6.5 meters, a weight of 1.25 tons, and has 24 C-band repeaters with a designed operating life of 10 years.

Although this satellite is damaged now, its practical value remains unabated after repair. So Tang Huan aimed at it early, took ownership, and took it to China for repair with the help of Sino-US relations in a honeymoon period.

According to the launch plan, weather forecast and other conditions, Universal Asia One is scheduled to be launched on the afternoon of December 28. Tang Huan brought some shareholders or representatives of Universal Asia Satellite Company directly to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to watch.

This is Tang Huan's second time here. He is already preparing to open it to the public next year, but it is less mysterious.

Although Tang Huan's expression was still and the high-standard receptionist was calm, everyone was still very nervous.

Because the Long March 3 carrier rocket, which was responsible for this launch mission, had its engine malfunctioned during its first launch on January 29 this year and was unable to send the Dongfanghong-2 communication test satellite into the predetermined orbit, and ended in failure.

In April this year, the Long March 3 carrier rocket once again carried out the launch mission of the Dongfanghong-2 communications test satellite. Although it was successful, problems arose in the process of fixed-pointing points, and finally it was solved with unconventional methods. It was full of risks.

Therefore, the risk of this launch is still very high. At the best, you have accumulated enough valuable experience; at the worst, it means that the rocket launch technology is not yet mature.

On the other hand, Tang Huan launched this satellite launch plan since he visited the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center last time and worshiped his parents. China is still very prepared.

After Tang Huan glanced at the watch, he looked at the launcher far away under the clear sky. He thought that no matter how well prepared he was, sometimes it depends on luck. It depends on one's plan, but it depends on heaven.
