Chapter 692: The Spring Festival Gala in Chinatown
He Liming, the head of a club in Chinatown, received the group.
Regarding the fact that CCTV held the CCTV Spring Festival Gala here, it was negotiated a long time ago, and there is no problem that needs to be coordinated.
"It's our pleasure. He Li was obviously excited, "I didn't expect CCTV to choose our place, originally San Francisco is the largest and most representative in the world." ”
Zhao Zhiyong naturally didn't say that it was because of Lin Qirong, but just explained.
"It is very important for us to be a place where our compatriots live, no matter where we live.
In addition, New York is a global metropolis, so it is very representative that we have the first overseas branch venue here.
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, we have more resources here, and we can invite more excellent artists to perform on stage. ”
"We will definitely cooperate fully, and everyone is very excited about this news, and we have been looking forward to it for a long time. ”
He Liming glanced at Lin Qirong and said with a smile, "I think it's mainly because of Mr. Lin Qirong." ”
Zhao Zhiyong and Lin Qirong both showed surprised looks.
He Liming said, "We have heard a lot of Mr. Lin's name recently, and he is very famous, especially at Shirley's birthday party concert a few days ago, when several of our young people here went, and they were so excited when they came back."
It can be said that you are the idol of many young people here, and it is also the pride of our Chinese, after all, there are really not many people who can perform so well in a field in the United States, most of the Chinese live very hard, and they need to make great efforts to gain a foothold in this place, and there are very few who can achieve outstanding results.
Your presence has given us a lot of confidence. ”
I didn't expect them to pay so much attention to themselves, Lin Qirong felt warm in his heart, but naturally he would not be floated up so simply.
He waved his hand and said, "President He has won the award, but I'm not that powerful." You have left your homeland and come overseas to work hard, showing the world the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese people.
When the country was hit by war and disaster, you were the first to lend a helping hand and never complained.
Chinatowns all over the world are also a window of the country in the world, showing our Chinese culture and heritage to countries and people all over the world, and it is also the first choice for Chinese people to come overseas, and it is a holy place in the hearts of countless overseas Chinese.
In fact, from the past to the present, you overseas Chinese are all examples for us to learn.
This time, CCTV decided to open a branch venue overseas, which I think is a very correct choice, so that people across the country can see the world-famous Chinatown and see the life of our overseas Chinese.
We are all compatriots, connected by blood, no matter how far apart, our hearts are connected, we are all family. ”
He Liming paused for a while, his expression changed for a long time, and then he exhaled slowly.
"Originally, I thought that Mr. Lin was a little skeptical that he could achieve such a high level at such a young age, but now I know why.
I would like to thank you on behalf of all overseas Chinese, thank you for your understanding and support to us. ”
He stood up and respectfully bowed his hand to Lin Qirong.
"You're welcome. ”
Lin Qirong hurriedly got up to avoid it.
"I just hope that this time we can do our best to make this branch venue a good one, so that the people of the motherland can see that you are living well overseas, and your hearts will always be linked to the motherland. ”
He Liming nodded, "Don't worry, this is exactly what we really think, and we will do our best." ”
Next, we will discuss the specific implementation details, and there has been a lot of work done by the staff before this, but the specific needs to be determined by Zhao Zhiyong here.
It was a foregone conclusion that Lim and Tong Tong would take the stage, and on the issue of inviting local stars, Ho offered their opinion that they would like to see Shirley and another superstar, Jabba James, who is very popular with their group.
"It's up to Qirong to do this. Zhao Zhiyong could only look at Lin Qirong and smiled.
Lin Qirong nodded, took out the phone on the spot, and made a call to Miranda, and he could only ask her for help.
As a result, Miranda agreed, "Jabba shouldn't have anything to do lately, and I asked him when I turned around, he shouldn't miss this kind of good thing."
Shirley is no problem at all, I'll let her go over to play with you, and I should spend the Spring Festival with you. ”
"Thank you, Miranda. ”
After another ten minutes or so, Miranda called.
"Jabba has already agreed, he is happy to attend the party, and he hopes to meet you.
I will give you the contact information of his agent, and you can contact him directly to discuss the specific details. ”
"Okay, thanks. ”
Lin Qirong hung up the phone and smiled with He Liming, "Luckily, Jabba James agreed, he will appear in our CCTV Spring Festival Gala." ”
"That's great. He Liming said happily.
With such a superstar to support the field, they have enough cards in this section.
The specific program has been rehearsed in Chinatown for a while, although it is not as good as the professional one, but it is still very good.
"It's our own performance and that's important. Lin Qirong accompanied Zhao Zhiyong to watch the performance they prepared and put forward his own opinions, "But in the opening part, I have a small opinion." ”
The surrounding staff all looked over.
"It's a bit too simple and ordinary to let everyone see this stage at the beginning. ”
Lin Qirong pointed to the surrounding buildings and said.
"I admit that your elaborate stage is beautiful, but you ignore that the most attractive thing about Chinatown is not the stage, but the street, the people on the street, and the meaning it represents.
Why don't we blend the opening song with this street and the people on the street? Think about it, when the broadcast signal from our side is transmitted to Huaxia, the first thing everyone sees is a tall Chinese-style archway and a few big characters on it, and then accompanied by the singing, the camera slowly sweeps over the whole area, and there are our people standing there singing in special buildings, what would it be like?"
He Liming imagined that scene in his mind, and felt his nose sour, because that scene was so moving.
Zhao Zhiyong clapped his hands and said, "Yes, such an opening will be more chic, more shocking, and of course, the effect will be better, and it will be perfectly integrated with this song." ”
"The people who sing, I propose that people from all walks of life and who really live here sing, all ages, can have the most real feelings, the kind of feeling that is heart-to-heart with the motherland.
If we can't, no matter how good our ideas are, it's in vain. ”
"It has to be done. Zhao Zhiyong said firmly, "This party is of great significance, it is to show the Chinese people around the world, if it is successful, we will set up branch venues in Chinatowns in various countries every year in the future, the first step is very important." ”
The technical director next to him also nodded, "Although it is very difficult, it is not impossible to do, and it should be no problem to work overtime these days." ”
As for the matter of funding, in the face of such great significance, there is no need to discuss it for a long time.
Time passed in a rush of preparation.
In addition to participating in rehearsals, Lin Qirong accompanies Zuo Youran, Tongtong and Shirley to visit Chinatown every day.
Compared with China, the Spring Festival atmosphere here is much stronger, perhaps because everyone is adrift overseas and needs some psychological comfort, so they pay special attention to various festivals.
With the approach of the Spring Festival, the whole area has become a sea of red, lanterns, concentric knots and other decorations can be seen everywhere, occasionally you can see the dancing dragon, the lion, the tiger and crane double boxing, the southern boxing and other traditional Chinese martial arts performances, the restaurants that can be seen everywhere come out of the rich fragrance, there are rice cakes, candies and other things sold everywhere on the street, and the rich New Year's flavor comes to the face.
The streets are full of Chinese compatriots wearing all kinds of clothes and speaking dialects of various places, but they are all black-haired and black-eyed Chinese compatriots, who walk through the streets and alleys, buy all kinds of New Year's goods here, and want to have a happy Spring Festival.
The many programs that are being rehearsed on the stage built in the central area are naturally the objects of everyone's greatest attention, and the news that CCTV will hold the Spring Festival Gala here is also spreading, which makes the people here excited.
To be able to celebrate the Spring Festival with my hometown and family thousands of miles away on such a special festival and in such a way is of course a very exciting thing.
They had already decided that they would be there to attend the party.
It is believed that tens of thousands of people will gather here to participate.
"Is this your Spring Festival?"
Shirley and Tongtong kept eating food with food in their hands, their eyes kept looking at each other, and everything here made her full of interest.
She knew the fame of Chinatown, but it was the first time she had visited such a place, and she was very excited.
"Yes. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "But it's not like this every day, everyone is usually busy with work and life, it can't be so lively, now it's because the Spring Festival is coming, everyone is preparing for this."
Our Chinese New Year is the most important holiday just like your Christmas, but we have much less holidays than yours. ”
This should be one of the biggest regrets of Chinese people, even during the Spring Festival, they can't spend much time at home with their families.
But this is also for life, there is no way to do it, after all, Huaxia has not developed to such a height as the United States.
"I think it's amazing, I feel like everyone's hearts are coming together through this festival. Shirley said, "We have Christmas, and we don't have much to do except party and party."
"Then enjoy our Spring Festival. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will cook it myself, and we will celebrate the Spring Festival together." ”
"Well, that's what I'm looking forward to the most. ”
Shirley said happily, smiling like a flower, her face full of anticipation.
In such a good time, the Spring Festival of China is finally coming.
