nostalgic era

Chapter 150 Rehearsal Encounter
Does Jiang Deming sing well?No one in Jingdong knows.

Let alone Jingdong, even Bai Ruoxue, Li Yunlong and the others don't know.

Because Jiang Deming has never sung in front of people.

The rehearsals are scheduled for the evening, and during the day everyone has to be busy with work.

Gala is important, but work is even more important.

After get off work, Jiang Deming asked Xu Zheng to drive himself and Han Chunsong to the headquarters of the First Machinery Department.

When they arrived at the gathering place, the others had already arrived.

There is no way, most of these people are nearby, only Jingdong is the farthest.

Among the crowd, Jiang Deming did not find any familiar faces.

I think so, he knows all the comrades in the management.

Most of those who can be sent out to participate in the gala are good at literary and artistic work, so Jiang Deming can't find anyone, so he goes out in person.

There is no way, you signed up, even if you are eliminated in the end, you have to go through the motions, right?If you don't come directly, it is easy to leave a bad impression in front of our leaders.

After asking someone about the registration place, Jiang Deming took Han Chunsong to sign in.

After that, they waited in line for the performance. Jiang Deming looked at the number on his hand and waited at least two hours for boarding.

He is in a complicated mood now. On the one hand, he hopes that he will be eliminated so that he doesn't have to worry so much.

On the other hand, I feel that I have created a classic song. If I am eliminated like this, wouldn't it be a waste of this song?
Under this complicated psychology, time passed quickly.

"Next, Jingdong representative!"

Han Chunsong on the side pushed Jiang Deming, who was in a daze, to wake him up from his delusions.

Jiang Deming looked at Han Chunsong, and was about to ask him what's the matter, when he pointed to the stage, and then heard Jingdong's name read from above.

Jiang Deming stood up immediately and walked to the stage.

The judges were stunned when they saw Jiang Deming's appearance, and they took him for granted as a member of the literary and artistic front.

A middle-aged woman in a blue worker's uniform glanced at Jiang Deming and said, "Please start your performance!"

Jiang Deming scratched his head. He was distracted the whole time just now, and he didn't expect such a scene.

He didn't bring his own instrument, not even a soundtrack, so he could only choose to sing a cappella.

This made Jiang Deming a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he can be regarded as someone who has experienced big scenes.

Anyway, people here don't know me, so they just run away after singing!
So Jiang Deming started his own singing.

What he chose was still Teacher Li's classic song, which was also the one that would often appear in the Spring Festival Gala more than ten years later.

"Unforgettable Tonight Unforgettable Tonight

Regardless of the ends of the earth and the sea

Shenzhou Wanli embraces

共 祝愿 祖国 祖国 好

Wish the motherland well
Wish the motherland well
......"

After singing a section, everyone in the audience was stunned.

It's not embarrassment, but I was surprised by Jiang Deming's song.

Even Han Chunsong looked at Jiang Deming stupidly.

Originally, he wanted to see Jiang Deming embarrassing, but he didn't expect Wang Zhan to appear when he took the stage.

The song "Unforgettable Tonight" was created in [-] by Mr. Huang, the chief director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Since that year, this song has often appeared as the finale of the Spring Festival Gala.

For the people of later generations, this song almost sounds like a cocoon.

But it is undeniable that for people of this era, this song is still very fresh.

And, besides this song, is there really a song to replace it as the finale?
The Spring Festival Gala without this song always feels a little less flavorful.

After a song was sung, the people in the audience were still staring at Jiang Deming in a daze, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

After a while, there was warm applause from the audience.

"Okay, good singing!"

"Yeah, it's great!"

After a while, after the applause stopped, the female comrade asked Jiang Deming: "Comrade, what is the name of your song? It seems that I have never heard it before."

Jiang Deming brought the microphone to his mouth and said, "Return to the leader, this is a song I composed myself, and the name is "Unforgettable Tonight"."

"Unforgettable tonight? That's a good name!"

"Yeah, it just fits the theme of our gala."

"Then this one, is it settled?"

"It's settled! It's his singing skills..."

The leader who spoke shook his head for a while, obviously very dissatisfied, and thought that Jiang Deming's singing had somewhat ruined the song.

Their voices were not low, and they were not very far from the stage. Jiang Deming naturally heard these words.

His face suddenly turned black.

He also knew that his singing was not very good, but he said it directly in front of his face, which was somewhat embarrassing.

After the judges in the audience muttered and discussed for a while, the female judge from before said: "Little comrade, we want your song, but we may have to change the singer. I don't know what you have." idea?"

"..."

Jiang Deming felt a slander in his heart, you want to leave the song, now ask me what do you think?Can I not give it?
Of course, this cannot be said directly.

After Jiang Deming thought for a while, he said, "Leader, may I ask, who are you going to sing this song to?"

Several judges looked at each other and said after a while: "This has not been decided yet, we will contact your leader when it is settled, don't worry, since you can create such a good song, the organization will not treat you badly. You, there will be commendations and rewards issued later."

Hearing this, Jiang Deming couldn't help laughing, not because he thought these people were taking advantage of others.

If he were a judge, he would also find a way to get this song.

They are indeed a public mind, rather than taking it for their own.

Jiang Deming laughed because these people regarded themselves as ordinary representatives of literature and art.

Who told him to be 27 this year, almost three years old, and still look like he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

It was okay on the battlefield, but after being tempered by the wind and snow, it seemed to be mature and stable.

I have been staying in the capital for the past few years, eating well, sleeping soundly, and my skin has become fair and supple again.

Anyone who looked at him would think that he was a young man in adolescence, and Bai Ruoxue often complained about this incident.

"Several leaders, I forgot to tell you that I am currently working as the director of the R&D department of JD.com. Professor Chen."

The first feeling of the judges was that they didn't believe it, but no matter how courageous they were, they would not dare to brag on such an occasion, because it would cause big trouble.

After digesting the news, the judges discussed for a while, and one of them hurried out to make a phone call.

When he came back, when he looked at Jiang Deming, his whole expression changed.

After communicating with his colleagues for a while, the female comrade stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, we didn't know that you actually came to participate in person. It's a big deal..."

The people around her couldn't laugh or cry for a while. The person who went out to make a call earlier made a direct call to the headquarters of the Ministry of Machinery.

Jiang Deming has produced a lot of export products this year, and the foreign exchange earned has given the country a little relief. After all, those are not one-time transactions, but industries that can generate income for the country for a long time.

Even the entire first machine department followed the long face.

"It's okay, I can't help it!" Jiang Deming spread his hands helplessly, and said: "My unit is all men, you can ask them to rub a rice cooker for you with bare hands, and let them sing, it's really embarrassing .”

Hearing this, several judges laughed.

Indeed, apart from Jingdong, there is no unit with all men, except for special confidential units, but they will not participate in this kind of gala!
After chatting for a while, feeling that Jiang Deming was not angry because he was underestimated, the leading female comrade raised the previous question again.

"Jiang Gong, can you do this song?"

"It's okay for you to use it, but I have to choose whoever sings this song, how about it?" Jiang Deming said.

"Is that so..."

Several judges looked at each other, and finally decided to agree.

What they thought in their hearts was: as long as it wasn't Jiang Deming who sang, anyone who was a little more professional would be able to sing better than him, right?
"Okay, then it's settled, do you need us to provide you with candidates?"

Jiang Deming rubbed his chin. He really wanted to find Mr. Li, the original singer, but he was afraid that once Mr. Li appeared, the book would be 404.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's best to find a soprano."

"That's no problem. I'll let you know after I find someone good."

"Then trouble you!"

"You're welcome."

The ending was happy for all. Although Jiang Deming didn't get any substantial benefits, he expanded his network!

These judges are all staff members of the propaganda outlets of different units of the Ministry of Machinery.

With this affection, when Jiang Deming asks them to do something in the future, as long as it is not too embarrassing, they will not refuse.

If Jiang Deming doesn't give it, it's not impossible. In that case, he can only hold it in his hand, and wait for ten years to come, and then take it out when the Spring Festival Gala is held.

But it can't be exchanged for a little money. Before 2000, the country didn't pay much attention to copyright, especially entertainment.

Jiang Deming is not stupid, so naturally he wouldn't do such a difficult thing.

Anyway, he didn't think about getting any benefits from this song at the beginning, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let Jingdong show his face in front of many brother departments.

What Jiang Deming didn't expect was that the next morning, as soon as he returned to the unit, he received a call from the female comrade, Director Huang of the propaganda department of the Ministry of Machinery.

Tell him that the candidates for the singer have already been found, and I hope he can go there now.

Obviously, they want to implement this matter as soon as possible, for fear that there will be changes if it is delayed for a long time.

When Jiang Deming rushed to the place Director Huang said and saw those people in the room, he almost knelt down to Director Huang.

Jiang Deming thought Director Huang would at most find some singers from song and dance troupes or art troupes.

But he was handed Wang Zha directly.

Not many people came, just three.

But these three people are some who are already great gods in the singing and dancing world, and some of them are future great gods.

Jiang Deming didn't know how Director Wang did it, so he could only give Director Huang a thumbs up to show his admiration.

"Jiang Gong, how about we try singing first?" Director Huang asked.

Of course Jiang Deming had no objection, he was simply surprised by Director Huang's efficiency and exaggerated contacts.

But after thinking about it, with the cards of the Ministry of Machinery, if I want to invite these few people, I am afraid that it only takes a phone call, let alone a classic famous song as a temptation.

How many singers can resist the temptation of famous songs?

Next, Jiang Deming enjoyed a great live performance that can only be seen on TV in later generations.

It can only be said that the national team belongs to the national team, no matter which one it is, the momentum and singing skills are simply not comparable to ordinary singers.

This also gave Jiang Deming some more thoughts.

Isn't he trying to promote music cassettes and walkmans?With the help of the few people in front of me, this matter would be much easier.

He can definitely take out some classic songs that haven't appeared in advance, and have them sung by these big guys in front of him.

At that time, there is no worry that those cassettes will not be sold.

So after confirming that the future winner of the first Golden Disk Award will sing the song "Unforgettable Tonight", Jiang Deming expressed his thoughts in front of several people.

The bosses were very moved, but they didn't dare to agree on the spot, and even Director Huang couldn't make the decision for them.

However, Director Huang can help contact the leaders of their unit. With her in charge and Jiang Deming's reputation, this matter will be much easier to handle.

Their units must also go through discussion before deciding whether to agree.

Jiang Deming is not in a hurry, he hasn't even got his Walkman out yet, even if he records the cassette, he can only use that old-fashioned player.

Just take your time.

After staying for most of the day, after finishing all the things he had just done, Jiang Deming set off for Jingdong.

As soon as he got back to the office, before his butt was warm, Li Yunlong's call came again.

Not for anything else, but because of the song, but the person who came here this time was a little different.

After lunch time, Jiang Deming met the first director of the later Spring Festival Gala, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.

After all, he just sold the theme song specially made for the Spring Festival Gala.

When I saw Director Huang, I felt somewhat guilty.

Director Huang didn't know what was going on in Jiang Deming's mind. Seeing him being so polite, he felt flattered.

After all, he is not yet a great director, but currently only a small director.

Both of them have experienced the war in the north, but they have a lot of common topics.

After recalling the past, the two directly entered the topic.

"Jiang Gong, I have already heard Ms. Bai sing your song "My Motherland and Me". It is really well written! Recently, there is an idea in the station to create a large-scale party when the Spring Festival is approaching. program, we hope to put this song into the program, and would like to ask you, the creator, for your opinion."
