Chapter 218 Preparing for the Spring Festival Gala (Fifth Watch)

After delegating most of the affairs to his subordinates, Zhang Cheng was only responsible for keeping an eye on it from time to time, and everything was developing in an orderly manner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The situation in various parts of the Soviet zone is also changing with each passing day, getting better and better, and everywhere there is a scene of prosperity.

Professionals are responsible for everything, but Zhang Cheng didn't start to be idle, and Zhang Cheng, who was idle, didn't go out much, stayed in the headquarters honestly, stared at the map when he had nothing to do, and constantly deduced the Japanese army's attack route after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance in the future, thinking about how to stop the Japanese invasion.

Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the year, and the radio station on Deputy Commander Zhou's side has been established, although Lao Maozi's equipment looks ugly, stupid, black and coarse, but the quality is still very reliable.

After a period of preparation, on December 30, 1937, Yan'an Xinhua People's Radio Station was officially broadcast, with a frequency of 7500kc, a power of 1,000 watts, and a call sign XNCR.

X is the code used by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for use by radio stations in China. NCR is the first letter of the word "NewChineseRadio" in English.

The radio station was built on the outskirts of Yan'an, and the terrain was relatively remote, which was convenient for concealment and was not easy to be discovered and destroyed by the enemy.

The Ninth Detachment of the Third Bureau of the Central Military Commission undertook the task of building Taiwan. The Central Military Commission specially selected Comrade Fu Yinghao, a college student who had studied in the radio engineering department of Qinghua University, to serve as the captain of the Ninth Detachment, and most of the 30 members of the team were students of the communications school and Red Army soldiers trained in Yan'an, and only Fu Yinghao was a college student.

Comrade Fu Yinghao is only 19 years old this year, and he is a college student who made a special trip from Tsinghua University to Yan'an after the "129 Movement," and his technical ability is very good.

At the beginning, the preparatory work was very difficult, but with the concerted efforts of Fu Yinghao and four Soviet experts, one difficulty after another was overcome, and finally the radio station with high hopes of the central leaders such as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief Zhou was established.

Zhang Cheng also once inspected the radio station, the equipment of the computer room and the broadcasting room in the radio station is very simple, the computer room and the power room are two cave holes, the big hole is about 27 square meters, and the small hole is about 16 square meters.

The broadcasting studio is a large cave of 50 square meters, and there is a large stage in the room, which is specially used for singing artists to perform. In order to insulate the sound, the four walls of the cave are nailed with gray blankets produced in Yan'an, and the door curtain is made of wool felt, which also has the effect of sound insulation. The manuscript preparation room is another earthen cave, where a dictionary is placed, and words that cannot be read accurately can be checked and used at any time.

The broadcast work was carried out by two female comrades. Due to the extremely rudimentary equipment of the radio station, the announcer broadcasts directly into the microphone, and if something goes wrong, it is irreparable. With a high sense of responsibility, the announcers took each broadcast script seriously, prepared carefully before the broadcast, read it repeatedly, and basically memorized the script.

These two announcers Zhang Cheng also knew something in later generations, and it is reported that in the radio broadcast work for several years, they did not make a single mistake, and there is a world of difference between them and those hosts who have broadcast accidents from time to time in later generations.

The end of the year is approaching, but Kang Da does not have the saying that the school will have a winter vacation in later generations, Zhang Cheng has just finished a class for the students, and Fu Yinghao, a technical house, has found Zhang Cheng again.

Since Fu Yinghao found out from the Shaozong Art Troupe that many of the red songs circulating in the base area are Zhang Cheng's masterpieces, he has been completely entangled with him, Fu Yinghao has constantly asked Zhang Cheng to write songs and play them on the radio, and in desperation, Zhang Cheng had to plagiarize again, and made a few classic red songs.

As soon as he saw Fu Yinghao coming to him again this time, Zhang Cheng immediately pulled his legs and left, shouting as he walked: "Comrade Fu Yinghao, don't look for me anymore, I have been hollowed out by you, and it's useless to look for me!" ”

Fu Yinghao chased and shouted: "Commander Zhang, wait, the Spring Festival is still half a month away, the superiors want us to organize some programs to be broadcast on Chinese New Year's Eve, so that the people who have worked hard for a year are also happy, I don't have any eyebrows at all, please Commander Zhang give me ideas!" ”

Zhang Cheng shouted as he quickened his pace; "Wouldn't you just have a Spring Festival Gala and come out, you don't need to look for me!"

"Huh? What is the Spring Festival Gala? Fu Yinghao was confused.

Zhang Cheng can't wait to slap himself in the face, look at what this mouth shows, what can be solved by getting at most one or two songs, it is likely to come out one night at most.

Sure enough, under Fu Yinghao's persistent pursuit, Zhang Cheng had to stop and explain to him, he said: "The Spring Festival Gala is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve to invite a bunch of people to come to the radio to perform the program, just like the gala, and then broadcast live through the radio station to other people with radio, probably like this!" ”

"The performance program for the audience on Chinese New Year's Eve seems to be very interesting!" Fu Yinghao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was even more reluctant to let Zhang Cheng go, so he had to ask Zhang Cheng to be in charge of the Spring Festival Gala project.

Under Fu Yinghao's entanglement, Zhang Cheng reluctantly signed an alliance under the city and agreed to Fu Yinghao's request.

In fact, Zhang Cheng still had a little joy in his heart after agreeing, Fu Yinghao asked him to be in charge of the Spring Festival Gala project, so didn't he become the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, the position of the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala undoubtedly satisfied Zhang Cheng's love to show off.

Since he agreed, Zhang Cheng had to contact the art troupe and began to invite singers, musicians, and dramatists to come and postpone the performances.

In terms of songs, classic red songs such as "The Internationale", "My Motherland", "Yingshan Hong", "Dongfang Hong", and "Unity is Strength" are indispensable, and in terms of drama, in addition to one or two classic excerpts from "The White-Haired Girl", "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Shajiabang" and other works can be produced in advance despite different eras.

In addition, excerpts from popular drama classics such as "The Female General of Yangmen", "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", "Empty City Strategy", and "Quanmei Case" can also be performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

In the end, Zhang Cheng had to plagiarize the songs again, "My Chinese Heart", "Say a Word from the Heart", "One, Two, Three, Four Songs", "The Man Who Was a Soldier", and "Unforgettable Tonight" were tragically attacked by him and had to appear in advance.

At the same time, the pace of the all-out war of resistance is approaching, and anti-Japanese songs are also indispensable, because the all-out war of resistance has not yet broken out, Zhang Cheng had to make a lot of changes to make the anti-Japanese songs suitable for the current situation, for this reason, Zhang Cheng's brain cells have died a lot.

With the frequent occurrence of Zhang Cheng's poisonous hands, the most classic "Yellow River Cantata" in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression appeared in advance, and the "Nanniwan", which praised the self-reliance and large-scale production movement, and the "March of the Volunteers" and "On the Songhua River" that have been created have also been included in the Spring Festival Gala by Zhang Cheng.

After circling these repertoire, the next step was to find actors, Zhang Cheng was too lazy to move, so he handed over these repertoire to the Military Commission Art Troupe and the Shaozong Art Troupe, and they negotiated who would perform these shows.
