1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 86 Times have changed~
Although this labor clothing exhibition has never officially appeared in front of the public, after more than a month of organization in the summer, it has unexpectedly gained a popular base and started to gain popularity.

Many workers and their families of Shougang have tacitly agreed that this labor clothing exhibition should be held and done well to compete with those of foreigners.

Things have come to light at this point.

Of course, this is not a one-man show, and Xia Tian is not someone who can make a single call and receive a hundred responses. Necessary discussions are still necessary.

But the work before the summer was still very effective, and everyone’s discussion in the factory newspaper still tended to suggest that it should be done.

However, there are also some strange voices.

For example, Li Weiguo and a few others disagreed with this and felt it was not a proper pursuit.

For this reason, Zhao Baogang, who served as a pawn for Xia Tian, ​​wrote an article every two days and began to debate the importance of work clothes to the working people.

Anyway, as long as I stand firmly on the side of the working people, I will definitely have more people on my side than you.

After a few days, Li Weiguo and his people could no longer hold on, because they had indeed suffered a complete defeat in the war of public opinion.

The cadres in those days were not as arrogant as they were later. The old workers not only dared to speak to them with straight backs, but even dared to challenge them.

If there are obvious problems, it is normal for the leader to be pointed at and scolded by the workers.

So in the past few days, many workers have criticized them in person, saying that they do not care about the feelings of front-line workers.

Many female comrades were even more excited and pointed fingers at Li Weiguo and his group.

One's life depends on his face, this is definitely unbearable.

But Li Weiguo still didn't give up, and actually changed his words and said, "It's not impossible to hold a labor clothing exhibition, but we can't let Xia Tian and a bunch of little brats host it. What will happen then?! Besides, they are not considered employees of the factory!"

In response to this, Xia Tian directly published an article in the factory newspaper under the name of Zhao Baogang, pointing out the inappropriateness of Li Weiguo's words.

These days, it’s no joke that the factory is my home.

These Shougang children all attend factory-run schools from kindergarten/nursery to elementary school and middle school, and will take over their parents' classes after graduation.

They grew up in the factory, and now you say they are not considered factory workers?!
Xia Tian just gave a little guidance, and at noon that day, an old worker didn't even have lunch and went to Li Weiguo's office to curse him!
"Li Weiguo, you said our children don't count as factory workers? Then who does? You?!"

"We are not from the factory, so who do you think we belong to?"

"you say!"

Several senior workers scolded Li Weiguo until he was sweating profusely. They apologized repeatedly: "I was inappropriate in my words. I said the wrong thing! We all work hard for the factory and contribute to the motherland. Of course, we are the people in the factory. I was wrong!"

Li Weiguo himself was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

However, it’s not over yet. Xia Tian began to explain that this “folk” clothing exhibition was a folk exchange with foreigners.

If it is done in the name of Shougang and by Shougang cadres, what kind of nature is that? !
Who will be responsible if it is done well or badly? !

Li Weiguo, you are here to do this? Do you know what clothing is? You really brought shame to the factory. Why don’t you reflect on yourself at the general meeting?
You have to apologize to the crowd~ (tactical retreat)
This is also the reason why Director Zhou tacitly supported their labor clothing exhibition in the summer.

If it is done well, there will be great benefits, and if it is done badly, there will be no harm either.

But Shougang cannot come to the fore.

The garment factories under Shougang can cooperate with you, but Shougang cannot!

Li Weiguo didn't understand the factory director's thoughts.

But it doesn't matter in the summer. Good things come to those who wait.

Now that all the preliminary work has been completed, the next step can officially begin.

It's almost November, and Pierre Cardin's fashion show will be held in March next year, and I have to do it at the same time.

There are still four months left, and everything from the performance models, costumes, stage, etc. needs to start.

As for Ms. Song, after the "motivation" in the summer, she also worked hard.

Finally, more than a dozen young men and women were gathered to form the first model team in Chinese history.

Training has already begun.

……

A saber with a handle 40 centimeters long, a blade meters long, and a total length of meters.

The blade of this saber is about one finger wider than an ordinary one, the back of the blade is also thicker, and the tip of the blade has a reinforced ridge on the reverse edge. It is a special saber that is thicker and heavier.

At this time it is carried on the shoulders of summer.

Just now, he had shown off his skills in front of Mr. Liu Xinghan and several of his old friends. He swung the seven-jin-heavy sword with great force, but after putting it away, Xia Tian didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, and he didn't breathe heavily. Looking at a wooden stake not far away, the wooden stake was as thick as a bowl and was 1.5 meters long. It was split in half vertically!

Old man Liu Xinghan quickly turned the two iron eggs in his hands, smiled and nodded, then went to look at his old friends.

Those seventy-year-old men all stared with wide eyes - where did you find this monster? !
Looking at the split wooden stake again, a word flashed through my mind: "Both man and horse were destroyed"!
After coming back from Mr. Liu's place, I rushed to Shougang in the summer, and my 28-inch bicycle was so tired that smoke came out.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm here!" Xia Tian shouted excitedly.

"Are you here? Okay, we'll set off in a moment." Uncle Zhou from the security department was already waiting.

Look at his attire, he's even wearing a belt.

That’s right, in the summer we’re going to have a shooting match with the factory’s security department!

At that time, every factory had a security department. They were not like the security guards of later generations - they had no law enforcement power.

The current security staff also wear police uniforms, their salaries are paid by the company, and they are under the dual management of the police force and the company, with powers similar to those of grassroots police officers.

In a large factory like Shougang, everyone is equipped with guns and they also conduct training. They also have submachine guns and even mortars.

It includes work such as maintaining order and counter-espionage.

A few days ago, Uncle Zhou told Xia Tian that he was going to conduct a live-fire training. Xia Tian was very interested and wanted to follow and see for himself.

A group of about forty or fifty people set off in an old jeep and a truck.

When we arrived at a shooting range in the suburbs, Xia Tian also touched a gun.

Although the buttstock of this old rifle is a bit mottled and worn, and it feels as old as Xia's father, Xia is still very excited.

After retrieving a few magazines, Xia Tian, ​​under the guidance of Uncle Zhou, fired the first shot in his life!
"Wow, you have some talent!" Uncle Zhou praised.

He hit the target with three shots at a distance of thirty meters, and scored an eight-ring with the fifth shot, which is pretty good.

However, Xia Tian has already set his sights on the fifty-meter target...

He had a great afternoon.

Think about the saber in the morning - times have changed~
……

In the evening, Feng Kuazi came to deliver his design draft, and "coincidentally" it was time for dinner, so he had dinner at Xia Tian's home.

Then the two began to discuss the stage design.

You can't deny that Feng Kuazi has some talent. After Xia Tian told him the basic concept, he figured out something in a few days. It's pretty good.

Not to mention, this guy is quite good at drawing and his drawings are pretty good.

If Fangyan Ye Jing saw this scene, he would probably be shocked, wondering when did this grandson learn this trick? !

It seems that there is something hidden in the pants~
Pants was in charge of the stage design. He had a sharp mind and had seen a fashion show before, so he had a good idea. After many revisions, he was able to come up with a good stage design.

On the other hand, Milan participated in fashion design. However, she had no talent in fashion design, but instead acted as a model.

The main purpose is to try out the effects of wearing the clothing styles I drew in summer.

Dachun's mother was the chief seamstress, with five female seamstresses ranging in age from forty to twenty, who were responsible for design, cutting and modification.

On the other hand, Zhao Baogang, who had been promoted from a front-line worker to the Propaganda Department, was responsible for collecting the workers' opinions, suggestions, and various feedback.

A labor clothing exhibition naturally cannot be divorced from the needs and demands of the working people, and strives to be both beautiful and practical.

The costumes haven’t been designed yet, but we have come up with several styles of tool sets and tool kits!

There are canvas and leather ones. We distributed them to the front-line workers to try them out and give their feedback. They all said they were amazing!
We are asked to do more and everyone is jealous.

In terms of clothing, Xia Tian proposed the concept and design of breeches, overalls, and work shoes.

The top also offers many functional suggestions similar to those of a windbreaker.

However, in many cases it depends on whether the fabric can meet the demand. Nowadays, even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

We have now mobilized other factories and other types of work to see what everyone has needs and suggestions.

But no matter what, everything is on track.

You just need to give a push and let the working people mobilize their collective strength, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the specific matters. The wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated!

This time the launch was really bumpy!
