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 peak 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 be ready to ship 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 tape sales,"
After 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: "It shouldn't be memorized like that."
"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 the leader 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" are now coming to our city."
Like the two previous news bulletins, today's "Oriental Metropolis Daily" also published news about "Rose Blooms Everywhere".
Liao Mingzu understood that what Jiang Shankou said was going to be a big hit should be the article in the newspaper.
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 cassettes 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 previously described.
"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 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 Jiangshan’s “prepare for big sales” refers 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 spring of the "Pacific" 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" sales department in Shanghai obviously went out earlier than before.
…
At this moment, a wonderful TV program is being played 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 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 voiced the male protagonist Luo Yi in "The Blue Bridge". In the radio drama "The Hidden", I will voice the male protagonist Yu Zecheng..."
"Hello, audience, I am Lv Xiao, also the Xiangzi in "The Gorgeous Family"..."
"I am Tong Zirong, the voice actor of Zorro. Congratulations on the smooth start of the radio drama "The Hidden."
Just as the entire audience continued to stare at the screen, familiar voices came out from the mouths of unfamiliar comrades.
The first appearance of the dubbing actors in the dubbing factory made the audience feel a kind of freshness that they had never experienced before.
It also made them remember a key message: this radio drama "The Hidden" must be not simple.
Even the ordinary people can realize things, the publishing and distribution departments in front of the TV naturally think more.
"Dear audiences in front of the TV, I am Zhao Zhongxiang, the host of China Central Television,"
"I am the host Song Shixiong."
The simultaneous appearance of the two well-known hosts immediately brought tonight's "Film and Television World" to a climax.
Under the ecstatic gaze of the audience, the two on the screen said together:
"Congratulations on the smooth recording of the radio drama of the well-known novel "The Hidden One", and wish the audience friends in front of the TV a happy holiday and good health."
This opening message, the only one with a New Year's greeting, was urgently recorded by CCTV's deputy director Zhou Yeming.
Gu Zhengzheng placed it at the end of the program as if it were a treasure.
This "one person, one sentence of blessing" opening ceremony injected some cheerful festive atmosphere.
It also allowed the film and television workers of this era to see the wonderful charm of "behind the scenes" in advance.
…
In the early 1980s, Pujiang was full of dilapidated factories and messy alleys... everywhere!
Anyway, it doesn't deserve the name of the Magic City.
In the early morning, when a ray of sunlight fell from the sky, this city half hidden in the snow showed a bit of the beauty of sedimentation after thousands of ships had passed.
According to the time agreed the night before, Jiangshan and Huang Hua walked into the editing room of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio on time.
Just like what I said before, if you are willing to cut, the task can be completed quickly, and it is indeed completed quickly.
"Xiao Jiang, you really don't hesitate at all,"
Duan Xiaoxuan couldn't bear to watch it: "Such a long film, you just cut it into a small fraction of 30 seconds."
"What else can I do?" Jiangshan has long been accustomed to it: "Your studio has been preparing for many years, and in the end, only a few dozen minutes of essence are left."
"That's the reason," Duan Xiaoxuan knew it, "But... I always feel a little pity."
"It's okay,"
Huang Hua had already thought about it for Jiangshan: "When Jiangshan wants to watch it, there is still a spare sample film."
"That's right," Jiangshan also thought so: "Now it's good, our task has finally come to an end."
"As long as Teacher Jin's soundtrack is out, the two advertisements of China Pencil can be completely completed."
"Where did Director Xu say he would invite us to dinner yesterday?"
...
Just when all the editors were imagining the celebration banquet, the car carrying the British BBC had slowly driven out of the gate of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, several key members were gathered together to appreciate the script sent by the BBC.
This animated film script, which is said to be compiled by many sinologists, was printed in Chinese and English by the BBC TV station.
Compared with Wang Wang and Dai Tielang who were full of curiosity, Te Wei and Yan Dingxian showed an absent-minded look.
After more than ten minutes, the director Te Wei simply threw away the script and stopped reading it: "It's a mess. What do these screenwriters want to express?"
"Oh my," Wang Wang quickly flipped through it: "From Pangu creating the world, all the way to "Classic of Mountains and Seas"."
"It's pieced together, he wants every myth."
"But he can't afford it."
"We can only write a little bit of each."
"How can we shoot this kind of one-pot script?"
"One of the plots looks okay, a bit like the plot in "Ping Yao Zhuan"."
"..."
It's obvious that this animated script of the capitalist TV station is just an amateur in the eyes of several key members.
But what Te Wei cares more about at this time is the operation mode of the capitalist TV station for cartoons.
"Do you still remember what Xiao Jiang said last night?" Te Wei said this to Yan Dingxian.
"Of course I remember," Yan Dingxian knew what he wanted to say: "You want to talk about the peripherals of the animation, right?"
"Oh, right," Te Wei had just been recalling: "Peripherals, that's the peripherals."
At this moment, except for Yan Dingxian, the few people sitting there didn't understand what the director wanted to say.
"What are you talking about? What is that peripheral...?"
"I don't know if you have noticed an additional request from BBC TV just now."
If it were before, Te Wei would not care about that sentence.
But after Comrade Xiao Jiang's popular science last night, he realized the difference between the Shanghai Animation Film Studio and the BBC.
"After the filming of the film jointly produced by both parties is completed, the BBC, which provides the filming funds, will have the commercial operation rights of all the animated images in this 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 long 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 studio was repeatedly used in endless tricks by others.
When "Tales from Heaven" 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 doesn’t want to let go of the wallets of those born in the 1970s and 1980s.
An ordinary three-pack, the highest price was actually 258 yuan.
"Nowadays, children have seen this, why should they 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 was already aware of the concept of peripherals, felt that he should go out and take a closer look.
…
Every office in the Meiying 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, what about you..."
The master in the communication 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... Qiangwei... is on sale. It's on sale."
"I said what I said, I said what I said,"
Jiang Shan ran to the door of the room in three steps and then 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."
"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, Hangzhou...Pacific Company's ordering phone numbers are almost overwhelmed by the shopping malls in these cities..."
