Representatives of people from all walks of life gathered together and enthusiastically watched the Spring Festival Gala hosted by CCTV.

The stage was full of red songs, and the audience laughed and laughed.

The time was close to midnight, and a senior artist of true virtue and art took the stage, with a 30-year-old apprentice, singing praises to the motherland with a crisp voice, and the party also entered a high tide.

"A big river with wide waves ~ the wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides...... When a friend comes, there is good wine, and if the jackal comes, he will be greeted with a shotgun!"

"This is a strong motherland, where I grew up, and in this warm land, there is peaceful sunshine everywhere~~~"

With the last red song sung, the old artists have not yet stepped down from the stage. Mr. Zhao, a CCTV announcer, the first male announcer in New China, and the host of the party, walked calmly on stage with a piece of teleprompter paper that had just arrived.

According to the original rhythm of the party, Mr. Zhao should politely praise the singing artists who had just performed, and then read out a batch of "congratulatory messages from the XX people" formulaically.

"The following is a New Year's congratulatory message from the Chinese Embassy in the United States, as well as the good news ...... accompanying the telegram."

Teacher Zhao's thick and familiar voice, with a joyful and cheerful joy, read the words squarely.

In the telegram, it was naturally mentioned that an "old friend of the Chinese people" attended the celebration at the embassy in the United States and signed a congratulatory telegram at the same time.

The audience was full of applause, and the enthusiastic atmosphere was even stronger.

CCTV's photographer hurriedly turned his camera to several leaders present and recorded the precious applause shots. (If the TV station does not broadcast it, it does not mean that it will not be filmed, the videotape is saved)

As we all know, the chief is very busy, so he didn't have time to watch the show for more than four hours, and then it was customary to come around at about 11 o'clock, and then leave after midnight.

There was only applause, only enthusiasm, and no shock, but everyone remembered it.

After all, they are all people who have seen the world, so they are so easy to be shocked.

Think about it from another perspective, ordinary people who watch the Spring Festival Gala in later generations will not be shocked when they hear the sentence "A congratulatory message from a certain person sent by a certain person" on the TV station, even if they follow the good news, they will just "rejoice and rejoice" for two minutes, sigh with emotion, and then forget about it.

Only people with a sense of smell, and even those around the person who is exposed, will really notice the energy of such a face.

For example, all the leaders and colleagues of the meritorious person's unit must be fried, or even worshipped, and then promoted to schools, communities, and hometowns, and be proud of him.

For example, those who sincerely study the news series every day and want to make progress in their careers will be particularly sensitive to the advanced in it. As for the ordinary people, they can't even remember who the leader of the next province is, who is impatient to spend this brain.

So that's it, there's no need to over-read further.

……

The next day, in the New Year's issues of some newspapers, a piece of good news about the severance of diplomatic relations between a small Caribbean country and the establishment of diplomatic relations with China was playfully announced.

Because it was a New Year's greeting, the newspaper that used to be four large black mastheads was printed on a masthead in red ink.

On the left side of the news article commemorating the diplomatic victory, that is, the bottom left eighth of the front page, it briefly introduced the congratulatory messages sent back by various Chinese departments stationed abroad, congratulating the people of the whole country on a happy New Year, and emphasizing in the subheadline the content of "Old Friend of the Chinese People, Former ...... of the United States" to celebrate the Spring Festival with the embassy personnel and sign the congratulations.

As for the main space above the front page, there is a half-open section of photos and text reports.

The content of the photo is the panoramic photo taken by the Associated Press reporter 14 days ago, at the succession ceremony of the new US President Regen.

Because the angle of framing is slightly oblique, there is an angle of about 30 degrees with the president's face. So the president in the distance is in the upper right corner of the picture. And the few round tables that were photographed in the vicinity were also a little sideways.

The annotation at the bottom of the photo takes up a full seven lines.

"Standing in the back row: President of the United States, Reagan Lee. ”

"Front row, first from left: Former U.S. Secretary of State, Professor Kissinger;"

"Front row, second from left: Mrs. Kissinger;"

"Front row, third from left: Gu Biao;"

"Front row, third from right (with his back to the camera): Former U.S. National Security Advisor, Professor Zbigniew Brzezinski;"

"Front row, second from right: Mrs. Brzezinski;"

Front row, first from right: Former Assistant Advisor, Associate Professor Albright. ”

The text report on the right side of the photo is an interview with the deeds of the people, but it is not really interviewed with Gu Biao, but it is pieced together with his historical achievements, transferred the files, and then asks the leaders of the school and the unit.

If you have to give an example, it is roughly equivalent to the process of generating the report "Learning from Comrade So-and-so" in 1963.

To put it simply and rudely, if Gu Biao sacrifices in Iraq this time, then his popularity and this wave of propaganda can be roughly similar to those predecessors.

But he is not dead, and it is not time to close the coffin, so his influence is still a little short, at least he is not qualified to be mentioned in the Chinese textbook of the human education version.

Seeking truth from facts, if you only pursue popularity, in fact, the highest level of reward in that era was written into primary and secondary school Chinese textbooks. It is more useful than "Renren Daily", CCTV, Central People's Radio, etc.

Especially at that time, there was only a human education version, and there were no self-selected textbooks. If you enter the textbook, it means that all Chinese people must know you, and even forced to memorize, if you don't memorize, you will fail, and if you don't memorize, you will not graduate. Even after a few decades, no matter how Ma Feng tosses and shows his face, if you really count scientifically, there are still not as many people who know his name as there are people who know Lu Xun.

Therefore, Gu Biao's road to fame is actually a long way to go. One of his goals in life was to write in Chinese while he was alive.

As for the quicker way than printing it on a language book, there are theoretically some options, such as printing a profile picture on money. But that's all for the deceased, and for those who want to enjoy life, of course, don't think about it.

Anyway, Gu Biao is going to be the man who destroys the physical currency of the earthlings in this life, and there will definitely be no paper money in the world after his death, so why bother with it.

Without further ado, this report starts with his high school performances (but withholds the details of his contribution to the great project), and then mentions some of his episodes before and after "Don't Say It's Unpredictable" and "Poverty Is Not Socialism" (and omit the Albanian debate......

Then how to make meritorious contributions in the relevant departments of foreign trade and economic cooperation, how to achieve outstanding academic achievements, how to be favored by Professor Kissinger, an old friend of the Chinese people, and then invited to be a closed disciple to teach a lifelong study, and then how to excel academically after arriving in Georgetown, impress mentors and classmates, arouse repercussions in academic circles, and how to get a small country in the Caribbean......

It's really embarrassing for the reporters who write the report, so many real guns and live ammunition that have to be covered up by the Spring and Autumn penmanship, and in the end they can only use the smoke bombs used to cover the real credit.

Writing about the smoke bombs in the past four years is already more exciting than the people who eat melons can imagine, and I am afraid that writing the things behind the smoke screen will shock the jaws of the melon-eating people.

From the perspective of professional journalism, the deeds that have been diluted by smoke bombs are actually not worthy of such a high-profile occupation of the whole page. But I can't stand the happiness of the leader last night, I was going to write something good on the first day of the new year, so there is no need to be too serious. Therefore, it is logical that there are many roles.

Gu Biao's father and sister in Qiantang's hometown, after getting some newspapers on the red masthead, were so excited that they slapped the table wildly. Daddy Gu Yong s blood pressure is high, but fortunately, his sister Gu Min forbade him to drink alcohol during the Spring Festival and take blood pressure tablets, so he was fine.

Then early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was clear that the factory was still on holiday for the New Year, so Gu Yong secretly drove a trunk of newspapers by himself. Taking advantage of the absence of the workers, he personally secretly pasted the books and newspapers in the factory on the first day of the new year.

Gu Min's eyes were also hot when he saw it, so he took advantage of the school's winter vacation, and secretly carried a schoolbag full of newspapers, sneaked back to the campus of Zhejiang University, and pasted all the dormitory areas and the schoolbag columns under the teaching building with new newspapers, and used up two large buckets of paste.

Of course, that's all for later.

……

In China, early in the morning of the first day of the new year, when the newspapers were introduced, because of the time difference, the United States was still on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ye Kun of the Embassy's Press and Liaison Office, since he finished the luncheon and watched the art show, took a nap a little, and then started to be on duty again in the afternoon.

Towards the end of her night shift, she received a fax back from China, informing the embassy of the use of the press release on the good news — that is, the front page that had just been released.

(Note: There are 14 offices in the Chinese Embassy in the United States.) Attaché, third secretary, second secretary are only ranks, and in addition to the rank, each diplomat has a specific position.

Therefore, Ye Kun's current specific identity is the third secretary and the deputy director of the press liaison office of the embassy. Below her, there are also section chiefs at the attaché level, and even ordinary low-level employees who don't even have the rank of attaché.

Generally, the first secretary is the head of a certain department in the embassy, which is equivalent to the level of deputy department in China. From the first secretary onwards, that is, from the "counselor", they all belong to the "embassy leaders", at least at the level of the main department. The above levels are limited to the United States, and those in Germany, Japan, Britain and France will be lowered by half a level, and small countries will be lowered again)

Because the fax is not in color, the red masthead turns back to black after a single transmission, just like the previous version.

"It's a blessing that he caught up. ”

Ye Kun looked at the domestic treatment, and his heart couldn't help but move, and envy arose spontaneously - of course, it was just envy, not jealousy.

She still didn't expect that this little thing could actually take up the whole page.

Because there are no more news items to convey on a day like today, Ye Kun swept the things at hand and went to report to his immediate boss, Counselor Yang-Ambassador Chai has already rested, and it is impossible to report to the ambassador in daily work, and the leader on duty now is Counselor Yang.

At the same time, Ye Kun did not need to report to her main and first secretary, Director Feng, because Director Feng also did not go to work.

A director and two deputy directors of the Public Information and Liaison Office are on duty 24 hours a day, in three shifts, to ensure that there are people in charge whenever there is an emergency.

Counselor Yang read Ye Kun's daily work report, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, you are too serious, this kind of good news, there is nothing to report." Go back and rest early - I see that you can make a copy if you are free, and give it to the party, that Xiao Gu, and bring good news. ”

It turned out that Gu Biao and Kissinger left the embassy in the afternoon, after all, the embassy's celebration was a luncheon rather than a dinner, and it was not good to stay with guests after the event.

"People don't want to go to that big pig's trotter, but since it's a task arranged by Counselor Yang...... Forget it, it's also for the sake of the country. Ye Kun struggled inwardly and accepted the task.

The modifier prefix "when free" is filtered out.
