Chapter 3015 Director Yang, the Cultural Troupe Needs You
Even if fate brings hardship and wandering, fate is still...

As Yang Xiaotao walked past the entrance of the publicity department, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

It sounds familiar because it really is my own voice!
But as for being happy, Yang Xiaotao couldn't be happy at all.

Why?
Because the singing was absolutely terrible, it ruined the song!
Ever since I hummed it on a whim in the small conference room a couple of days ago, the tape recorder faithfully recorded it, and it's the original version.

result…

Yang Xiaotao tried several times to get the tape back, but Liu Lixue kept it in her bosom and wouldn't give it to him.

And then, that became a dark chapter in my history.

At least in Yang Xiaotao's view, this is a dark history.

I made up my mind that if I ever sing again, I'll be a puppy.

Yang Xiaotao pushed open the office door and walked in, then saw Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e whispering to each other.

Both men smiled when they saw Yang Xiaotao walk in.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about them; he believed that his dark past was all thanks to these two.

Sitting in the chair, Yang Xiaotao picked up a design drawing, intending to earn some academic credits for himself.

Although I've been very busy with work lately, a hero needs three helpers, right?

The matter concerning the power grid was handed over to Xu Yuanshan, who was told to handle it himself.

At the West-East Gas Pipeline project site, Xie Jiarong, Elder Xia, Cheng Jun, and Ji Xuewu are all capable individuals who can work independently.

With the help of these people, Yang Xiaotao only needs to keep the overall direction in mind.

As for the rest, as long as the task is completed, you'll get whatever you need.

He was more of a signatory.

So, Yang Xiaotao decided to recharge himself.

So I took out the F-15 fighter jet design blueprints that the system had previously rewarded me with and studied them.

After all, this type of aircraft uses a turbofan engine, which is different from the turbojet engine used in aircraft like the Baiju and J-8. Yang Xiaotao still needs to learn more about it.

Then, by drawing on existing knowledge, we can complete the design of carrier-based aircraft.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao was also aware that the F-15 was not suitable for carrier-based aircraft, but that didn't stop him from using it for practice.

At worst, the F-15 can be domestically produced, making it a perfect partner for the White Horse.

As for the J-8, it's best to stick to exporting it.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao also had ideas about carrier-based aircraft.

But now is not the time. He will talk to Mosidov later to see if he can get the United States' tomcat.

As for plagiarism, that simply doesn't exist.

They're all airplanes, so why are you the only one who gets to do this?

As long as it can fly, who knows who might plagiarize whom?

Therefore, during this period, Yang Xiaotao would spend one or two hours every day studying the aircraft's design drawings.

Just as Yang Xiaotao picked up the design drawings, Liu Lixue walked up to him with her hands behind her back.

"Minister Yang!"

The voice was soft, yet it sounded like a mischievous child secretly pleased with themselves.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and saw Liu Lixue's fair face full of smiles, looking like a little fox.

"what!"

Yang Xiaotao quickly lowered his head, then continued looking at the design drawings, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy.

"Minister Yang, that song, 'Red Sun'..."

"Stop! Forget about it. If you're so capable, go and handle it yourselves!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke directly, completely ignoring the other person's point.

Liu Lixue's smile remained unchanged, but she handed the document in her hand to Yang Xiaotao.

"Minister Yang, that's not what you think!"

Who knows what the person you're thinking of means?

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the document, and as expected, it was a production document for the Yanwu tape recorder.

Hu Dong spent one night in Beijing, and then couldn't wait to return to Shanghai, bringing with him an order for 10,000 tape recorders and a task to produce cassette tapes.

These decisions were all made by Yang Xiaotao; he wouldn't have dared to make them if it were him.

Even if their factory operates at full capacity, it would take them two or three months to complete 10,000 tape recorders.

Judging from Yang Xiaotao's plan, 10,000 units is simply not enough!

In the future, this tape recorder will open up the Hong Kong market, and then use Hong Kong as a springboard to the world.

Of course, the tape recorder is just a medium; the key to opening up overseas markets is the cassette tape.

So their toy factory has an even more important task this time, which is to expand the scale of the cassette tape production plant.

This report is the latest appointment from headquarters to the toy factory in Shanghai, and it is also a document that clarifies the tasks.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Lixue laughed again, "Director Yang, we just wanted you to check if there were any mistakes in the song, and whether it's the same as your singing!"

As she spoke, Liu Lixue laughed.

Yang Xiaotao gave her a disgruntled look, and Liu Lixue immediately shut her mouth, though the flesh on her cheeks was still twitching.

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao composed himself and said, "I don't know if this tune is right or not. How about this, you sing it once and I'll listen!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lixue immediately stopped smiling. "That won't do, it's working hours now!"

"It's okay, the boss told you to sing, so just sing!"

Yang Xiaotao crossed his arms, and Liu Lixue raised an eyebrow, "Then I'll really sing it!"

"Sing, Xiao'e, you clap your hands for her!"

Lou Xiao'e was watching the show from the side when she was suddenly called out, and she immediately became serious.

"me…"

Lou Xiao'e hesitated, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "Hurry up!"

Left with no other option, Lou Xiao'e had to clap her hands to the rhythm given by Liu Lixue.

"Fate is about wandering and constant displacement..."

Liu Lixue had barely opened her mouth when Yang Xiaotao raised his hand to interrupt her, "Your tone is too low, raise it a bit!"

Liu Lixue stopped, looking puzzled, but still raised her voice.

Even if fate is turbulent and unpredictable...

"Stop, stop, stop! It's too fast! You can't go too fast! Xiao'e, your rhythm can't follow Xiaoxue's; you have to stick to a fixed beat!"

"Come again!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e suddenly felt a bit of pressure when Yang Xiaotao got serious!

Even if fate is turbulent, even if fate is full of twists and turns, even if fate threatens to make life meaningless…

"Stop, stop, stop. It's not that being a person is boring, it's that being a person is boring. Do you understand?"

"Come again!"

Yang Xiaotao's voice was serious, and the two of them completely panicked. Liu Lixue even turned around and walked towards the desk.

"We're not professionals, Director Yang, your expectations are too high!"

Lou Xiao'e spoke from the side, then quickly walked back to the table.

Yang Xiaotao laughed at this moment, "How about that, now you know your own limitations!"

"If you're not a professional, don't try to steal other people's jobs. Your skill level is just like mine, so let's not argue!"

Yang Xiaotao said smugly, but Liu Lixue snorted coldly, "Yes, yes, we are good at our job, but we dare not be on the same level as you, that would easily lower your standards!"

Yang Xiaotao sensed the hidden meaning in the words but didn't care. He picked up the document, signed it, and put it aside before studying the design drawings on his own.

Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e exchanged glances, then lowered their heads to work, ignoring Yang Xiaotao.

Meanwhile, at the residence of the Ninth Cultural Troupe, Yang Youning was chatting with the troupe leader, Yu Jun, in his office.

"Director Yang, this is our script for the second part of 'The Road to Glory.' We plan to draw inspiration from reality and select one of the following as the theme, based on the deeds of Director Yang in designing and manufacturing the Mercury machine tool and the White Horse fighter jet. However, it hasn't been finalized yet!" Director Yu said that this was the current key task of the cultural troupe, but his voice lacked confidence.

Yang Youning listened from the side, nodding in response from time to time.

As the head of the publicity department of the Ninth Division, he has the responsibility and obligation to let the outside world know about and understand the Ninth Division.

And the propaganda front is therefore very important.

As a great man once said, if you don't occupy the high ground of thought, someone else will.

If someone else occupies it, they will lead you by the nose.

Therefore, the Ninth Department has always held the reins of propaganda and ideology since the beginning of the machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao also attaches great importance to this.

Similarly, investment in publicity efforts is constantly increasing!
So the purpose of this visit is to understand the main tasks of the performing arts troupe this year, and at the same time, to bring a new idea.

Although it's not mature yet, we can discuss and explore it.

Seeing that Yang Youning had taken it to heart, Commander Yu continued, "However, Director Yang!"

"We still have some concerns, and that's it..."

"Won't this look too fake when filmed?"

Yu Jun said with some helplessness, "Even if all of this is true and can be proven by solid evidence, it just doesn't feel reliable to put it on the screen and let everyone accept it."

A machine tool with such high precision was actually made just like that.

An airplane was built from scratch in less than a year.

This presentation is quite abrupt!

If this process were shown on screen, it would be even more jarring for viewers.

A while later, an alloy material popped up.

A pressure machine popped up a moment later.

A new type of radar was developed in a short time.

A little while later…

The key point is that this really is "a little while"!

This is real!

In the past, when they made movies, they would embellish the facts and use some exaggeration to make the audience more accepting.

But now, it's not like this needs any exaggeration or embellishment at all.

These are things that are difficult for ordinary people to do!
After Yu Jun finished speaking, Yang Youning also had a headache.

The filming of the first step, the Glorious Path, was relatively normal.

But why is the second part so difficult?
If we don't make a second part now, when will we?

Should we wait a bit longer? Should we still take pictures of the satellite phone?

Let's wait and see. Should we film the nuclear power plant?

If we wait a little longer, should we take a picture of the computer?

If we're going to film all of this, we might as well stop making movies and just make a TV series instead.

Making a documentary would be perfect.

Do nine of them need a documentary?
The nine films needed are those that can be seen by people all over the country, films that showcase the spirit of innovation.

After Yu Jun finished speaking, he didn't know what to say next. The two remained silent until Yang Youning gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not do the airplane project for now. This thing involves some secrets and it's not appropriate to disclose it to the public!"

"Let's use machine tools for the second movie!"

"We need to finish filming this year as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer, otherwise our filming speed won't even keep up with the project's implementation speed!"

Yu Jun listened attentively and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, the personnel, venue, and equipment are all readily available. As long as we decide on the right direction, we can definitely complete it within a year!"

Yang Youning nodded. The matter was settled. They would just need to have the film studio help with the production.

Then we got down to business.

"Commander Yu, a couple of days ago our Ninth Division produced a new type of radio cassette player called the Yanwu brand. Are you familiar with it?"

After Yang Youning finished speaking, Yu Jun immediately nodded, "I know, I know!"

He slapped his thigh as he spoke, "We already knew about it yesterday, and we've also heard about its uses."

"By the way, you know Zhang Qing, right?"

Upon hearing Yu Jun's words, Yang Youning immediately remembered who it was.

Zhang Qing is Yang Xiaotao's cousin.

This relationship is quite unusual.

Before the Lunar New Year, Yang Xiaotao made a special effort to recruit Zhang Qing into the Ninth Department's cultural troupe because of Zhang Qing's situation.

It is said that he was harassed or something in the previous cultural troupe, but anyway, he came over and often went to the courtyard house.

Her relationship with Ran Qiuye is also quite good, and it's rumored that she might be transferred to the education department, but Yang Xiaotao hasn't given her any approval, so she's still staying in the Ninth Department's cultural troupe.

Therefore, it's not surprising that this guy heard some news from the courtyard house.

"Okay, now that you know, things are easier to discuss."

Yang Youning smiled and said, "We will vigorously promote the Yanwu brand tape recorder in the next nine installments."

"We've already spoken with the foreign trade department and will prioritize sending a batch of tape recorders to the Hong Kong market."

"As you know, the market over there is quite active, and cultural and entertainment activities are thriving. This tape recorder can record songs, and more importantly, it can play cassette tapes."

"They might even use Hong Kong as a platform to reach the whole world."

"so!"

Yang Youning said in a pretentious tone, "I think our cultural troupe has a chance to contribute to the Ninth Department!"

"The opportunity to spread the culture of the country has arrived."

Yu Jun couldn't quite keep up with Yang Youning's thinking. He was just the head of a cultural troupe, good at doing some art and getting a few people to pretend to be cultured when he had nothing to do.

This stuff about cultural dissemination and international affairs isn't his area of ​​expertise.

Seeing Yu Jun's expression, Yang Youning knew that he hadn't understood his meaning.

So he took a deep breath and said directly, "I'm giving you a task: record a cassette tape of songs and then sell it in Hong Kong."

With that in mind, Yu Jun felt like he was back on his own track.

So while agreeing, he asked, "Director Yang, if we want this cassette tape to be a huge hit, we need to carefully consider the songs on it."

"At the very least, you should know what people outside like, right?"

Yang Youning blinked and suddenly realized that the head of the cultural troupe in front of him wasn't completely ignorant.

At least when it comes to art, he has a lot of insight.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

Yang Youning asked directly, and Yu Jun pondered for a moment before saying, "Director, I think we need to come up with songs that are distinctive, but we can't stray from reality."

"It would be best to compile those widely circulated songs, and personally, I think Yang's songs are the best choice."

"Yes, there aren't enough songs, so it would be best to have Director Yang compose a few more, and then we can find the best singer to record a version. That way we'll have a better chance of success."

After Yu Jun finished speaking, it was Yang Youning's turn to slap his thigh and stand up.

"That's right, instead of us speculating here, we might as well let Director Yang do it himself."

"Let's go find Commander Yang."

He got up and walked out, and Yu Jun quickly followed.

Department Nine, in the office.

Since Yang Xiaotao confronted Liu Lixue and the other woman, the room has finally become much quieter, and people can work in peace.

However, this quiet didn't last until noon when there was a knock on the door, and then Yang Youning walked in with Yu Jun.

Before Yang Xiaotao could ask what was going on, Yang Youning said with a smile, "Director Yang, the cultural troupe needs your help to record a song!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao's face was full of disbelief.

Inside the room, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other, then simultaneously turned to Yang Xiaotao with malicious smiles.
