In the next time, in addition to communicating with Godfather Liu about some questions about the institute, Zhang Xingming honestly got up in the Beijing office, and he didn't even go to the Spring Festival Gala scene, of course, he was also confident in his own arrangement, spent so many dollars, invited so many professionals, if he couldn't even get a party in this era, then he would simply buy a piece of tofu and die.

On February 5, three days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, which was also the last rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Xingming was dragged by Huang Daosheng to move to the side of the workers' body.

The whole workers' gymnasium has become a sea of joy at this time, the strong festive atmosphere infects everyone who is immersed in the scene, the stage is the most advanced in this era, there is already a lift, not the original Spring Festival evening, put a few light bulbs under a few pieces of glass, and put a few fake plastic flowers on the side.

The background of the stage is no longer the blue phoenix glued out of electric paper, but a screen, and the CRT three-gun projection has appeared on the Chinese stage for the first time.

Speaking of projection technology,Before the 90s,It has always been the world of small Japan,Suo mud,Love servant,Baby,Basically monopolized the global projector market,It wasn't until the mid-90s,Germany and Europe and the United States only caught up,At the end of the 90s, some of the markets were grabbed。

Although Germany is the world's teacher in optics and electronics, we should admire Japan, which only took a few years from learning to transcendence, and then has left its teachers far behind.

On the huge stage, behind the background, the teachers of the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Factory are working intensively, a huge CRT three-gun projection equipment is placed in the center of the room, and the screen facing is the stage background seen from the audience.

At this time, LCD technology has not yet been born,CRT monopolizes the global projection market,In fact, the TV display screen in this era is also CRT technology imaging。 In fact, the imaging of CRT technology is not bad, but it is better, but the machine itself is too large and bulky, the cost is also high, and it is too time-consuming and laborious to adjust with three large lenses, and finally it is replaced by a small single-lens LCD.

Like the projection equipment purchased by Zhang Xingming, the self-weight has reached nearly 140 kilograms, more than 600,000 US dollars, and it is Sony's most advanced machine at present.

The history of animation films in China is actually very early, in 1926, earlier than the United States, and at that time it was definitely quite strong, even before the 50s, it was more than abroad, and the development of animation in Japan was still influenced by our animated films in the 40s, most people may not imagine that the creator of "Astro Boy" Osamu Tezuka embarked on the road of animation creation because he watched our "Iron Fan Princess" released in 1941, and the latecomer Miyaqi Toshisuo worshiped ink animation.

In 1954, we had the movie "Xiaomei's Dream" that appeared together with live-action and animation, more than ten years earlier than the Americans, in 1956, "Magic Brush" was the first prize of international children's entertainment films, and in 1960, ink animation came out, which amazed the whole world, "The Pastoral Flute", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Little Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate", "Fisherman", "Peacock Princess", all excellent works in the world.

It's a pity that I don't know what the reason is, it suddenly stopped, and then little Japan overtook it, waved its horse and killed it, occupying all the TV screens in the country, from the end of the 70s to the end of the 90s, for more than 20 years, almost all of our TV broadcasts are Japanese cartoons, and these more than 20 years are the process of Chinese TV from scratch to popularization, so to speak, three generations have grown up watching Japanese animation.

And by the end of the 90s, American cinema had come in and taken over our big screens, all the way to the present. And those that we miss "Nezha and the Sea", "Three Monks", "Black Cat Sheriff", "Laoshan Taoist", "Book of Heaven", "Nine-colored Deer", etc., can only exist in memory forever, and even most people have not seen it.

The reason for this is that I don't pay attention to it.

Why did little Japan's animation develop so fast? Just look at where all the Chinese animation talents have gone. And our own animation has declined sharply, from the content to the picture, it began to be shoddy, and gradually no one watched it.

How can we blame them for not being patriotic? How can we blame them for yearning for a "better life" abroad? What about ourselves? We can't write about this, we can't shoot that, we can't say anything, and the front of soft culture propaganda is always open, and no one cares.

Cixi has a saying: Rather with foreigners than with retainers. Because the foreigners want money and land, and the retainer may endanger her rule. I can't figure out where a nation that doesn't even dare to speak is in front of him.

……

It turned out that the opening of the 86 Spring Festival Gala was a firecracker pattern of that era, two cents a piece, which was one of the most common patterns. After igniting, the three spouts spew out flames of various colors, pushing the pattern itself to rotate at high speed on the ground, and then a few invitations flashed a few times.

Zhang Xingming decided to put on ink animation at the opening, and put all the classic animated characters on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and celebrated the New Year to the children of all over China.

Moreover, Zhang Xingming is taking the opportunity of this cooperation to discuss joint ventures with Shanghai art film producers.

The predecessor of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio was the art group of Northeast Film Studio (now Changchun Film Studio), and later moved to Shanghai as a whole in 1950 and established Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, the first personnel were the original team of the art group, a group of northeast men, and later some animation pioneers including the Wan brothers joined Meiying, and the first director was the only Chinese Sheng Tewei who won the ASIFA Lifetime Achievement Award.

In 86, Japanese and American animation had not yet entered its heyday, and Zhang Xingming thought about whether he could invest money in exchange for equipment to maintain Shangmei's status in international animation, and improve wages to retain talents who had gone away, and rewrite the history of Chinese animation.

……

The show went on stage one by one, this is the last rehearsal, all the actors are fully equipped, this rehearsal is to be officially recorded, used as a backup for the live broadcast, in case there is also an unexpected situation The live broadcast is interrupted.

Clear picture, dazzling lighting, grand scenes, charming sound effects, coupled with advanced projection backgrounds, made Director Huang Da excited and kept smoking, if this was not a rehearsal recording scene, Zhang Xingming estimated that Director Huang would be able to rush onto the stage and shout loudly.

……

In the evening, Zhang Xingming received another phone call: "The above has spoken, reform and opening up is the basic policy of the country, and it will not change for a hundred years." Hong Kong Hexiang is a representative enterprise of foreign capital, has made great contributions to the development of the country, such enterprises to protect, to support, to give some policy treatment is deserved, his safety is very important, to a governor is not changed. ”

Putting down the phone, Zhang Xingming danced excitedly and jumped on the spot a few times, with this sentence as the conclusion of the incident, he could let go of his hands and feet.

Then, the work schedule of the Hong Kong side will have to be advanced, and we have to go to Eastern Europe, and we have to arrange it in advance. Zhang Xingming sat on the sofa and thought, writing a few strokes in his notebook from time to time.
