Chapter 860: At the Speech Table
International Cultural Exchange Festival: The number of representatives of each member country at the conference shall not exceed 5 persons.
As the speaker for the Chinese side, Pu Tong naturally had to enter the venue. In addition, Director Tang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Director Han of the Cultural Bureau were representatives and could not be absent.
The fourth person accompanying was Ji Shutong. As an experienced diplomat, she entered the venue to deal with more emergencies.
The last one is the accompanying translator. At an international conference, the voice of each speaker is basically different. Therefore, delegations from various countries will bring translators with them. Otherwise, how can they communicate?
Yu Wanwan watched Pu Tong enter the conference hall with a worried look on her face. Her status and position were not enough to allow her to enter. Even if she was given the title of Pu Tong's assistant, she did not have the ability to do so.
How can we treat national affairs as a joke?
Even if she wanted to go in, she knew that she couldn't help Pu Tong at all, so how could she let her take up such a crucial spot in vain...
In such a pressing and important occasion, she couldn't stand by Pu Tong's side. All she could do was to cheer him up silently.
He can definitely do it!
The conference hall is semi-enclosed and stepped, with seats arranged along the steps from high to low and from outside to inside, finally facing the podium in the center of the conference hall.
The delegations of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council sat in the first row of the inner circle, in the order of the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France. Pu Tong and his group sat in the first row in the middle, with the Chinese flag on the table.
As a speaker, Pu Tong needed to sit next to the microphone in the middle, so he became the person in the middle of the entire conference hall.
There are also microphones on their desks for speaking, but these are used by representatives of various countries for communication, and the speakers do not use them...
Pu Tong looked up and what caught his eye was the podium in front of him. The brown desk was facing him. If someone stood on it to give a speech, they would be facing his position.
The wall behind the podium is decorated with the flags of the major participating countries. The colorful national flags hang quietly in the corner, as if they are silent witnesses of this grand event.
"Don't be nervous about your speech later. Just go up and speak for a few minutes and then leave the stage."
Tang Zelong patted Pu Tong on the shoulder. As a young man, he would definitely be nervous in such a big occasion, but the closer it got to this point, the more calm he had to be.
He knew that Pu Tong must be under a lot of pressure at this time, but he couldn't help much. Things had come to this point, and he could only rely on himself to adjust.
"I understand, Director Tang..."
Pu Tong took a deep breath and looked back. All he saw were unfamiliar faces from all over the world. They looked at him with either friendliness or confusion, which made him feel heavy.
It was his first time to give a speech in front of people from all over the world. How could he not be nervous?
"What director? Call me Uncle Tang."
Tang Zelong said with a smile: "We are all comrades in the united front now. I have always asked the director to be more polite..."
No matter what the result is today, he values Pu Tong very much. This kind of appreciation from an elder to a younger person is precious.
"Okay, Uncle Tang, what is the order of our speeches?"
Pu Tong frowned. He had heard that the order of speeches was related to the order of entry of the teams, but he really didn't know what the specific order was.
They should not be arranged directly in the order of entry. If the five permanent members start their speeches first, the subsequent participating countries will feel a bit pressured.
This kind of speech is like a graduation defense. No one would want the outstanding candidates to go on stage first, because this will undoubtedly raise the tutor's expectations.
The same is true for cultural and artistic speeches. If these five Buddhas were allowed to speak first, the threshold for online viewers would be high, which would be unfair to some of the small countries present. Many small countries that are not on the list do not have much cultural content to show, so they will inevitably be discouraged when the time comes.
"The order of speeches is the reverse order of their arrival, starting from the last delegation, and our five permanent members are at the end."
"The finale..."
Pu Tong nodded. This way, it would be much friendlier towards many other small countries, and leaving them to the end would also create a good sense of anticipation.
According to this order, his singing was third from the last, so he had plenty of preparation time to wait and see, and learn at the same time.
Not all countries will come to the International Cultural Exchange Festival. Many small countries are cultural deserts, and their culture and history are deeply influenced by their neighboring countries. Naturally, there is no need for them to come.
There are still many countries that are in dire straits and naturally have no intention of participating in these activities. Pu Tong sighed and didn't know what to say.
Only when a country becomes strong and prosperous can it devote itself to culture and art.
After a brief introduction by the Sakura organizer, the meeting was officially convened and the speech session officially began. He took a deep breath and looked at the big screen on the podium.
The cultural exchange festival does not play speech PPTs. The national flags of the countries where the speeches are given occupy the entire screen, as if the countries represented by the speakers are right behind them.
When Pu Tong stood up to give his speech, behind him should be the five-star red flag of China. For a moment, he felt his scalp tingling.
Because there are thousands of lights behind him, he must not give up easily today. No matter what happens, he must stay calm!
Many small countries do not have any outstanding culture to show off, but they still stand there and speak with a smile on their faces, because they represent their own country, which is something to be proud of.
Their relatives, friends and family will all see this scene on TV in their hometown, so everyone wants to give 100%.
This atmosphere and mentality unconsciously infected Pu Tong. Yes, the first priority of the International Exchange Festival is always to introduce the excellent culture of one's own country to the world, rather than to pull down and attack others.
Of course, this does not mean that they have to swallow their anger when facing people with bad intentions. "I will not offend others unless they offend me" has always been the Chinese style of dealing with things.
When friends come, there is good wine; when hunters come, there is a shotgun.
A total of 103 countries and regions participated in the exhibition. Assuming that each speech lasts three minutes, the whole process will take about five or six hours.
Don’t think that this time is long. Many large international conferences may even take three to five days when major events that are difficult to decide on are encountered.
Those who can attend international conferences are basically veterans, and sitting for hours at a time is no problem...
Sitting next to the translator, Pu Tong listened with great interest. The culture and art works of many countries are very interesting and it is quite interesting to listen carefully.
However, the audience in front of the TV did not have so much patience. Many domestic viewers were tired of waiting and just wanted to see when Pu Tong would go on stage.
When the speech was in the middle and late stages, Pu Tong suddenly noticed a sharp gaze.
He looked back and saw the speaker from Goryeo looking at him viciously, with an obvious hint of conspiracy...
"Come here on horseback."
