Chapter 914: The Spring Festival Gala of 1901 (Part I)

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve in 1901, the traditional Chinese New Year will soon arrive. At this time, China's major central government departments and some other public institutions, as well as various enterprises and various social organizations have also begun to enjoy the holidays in large quantities. Except for the police and the military, most of the others are on vacation. Even although the army still has to serve, they have stopped training and started some activities to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve together. However, the police are obviously busier, after all, the Chinese New Year is also a time of high crime rate, and those police officers are the busiest. And in this era, fireworks were not banned, so those various fire hose teams were also on standby, and if there was a fire, they were ready to call the police at any time.

However, these are also things at the grassroots level, and at present, Wang Guorui is preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala with senior officials and his royal concubines. This Spring Festival Gala was prepared a month ago, and now it is also being prepared. Senior officials of the central government also came to prepare for watching, and some representatives of society and so on can also be qualified to come to visit this so-called Spring Festival Gala. This Spring Festival Gala was conceived by Wang Guorui, so Wang Guorui is also satisfied.

"Tongwei, the due date is more than ten days later, right?" Wang Guorui asked.

Kang Tongwei looked at her big belly, and also nodded and said, "Well, after ten days, the concubine can give birth to a child." But, Your Majesty, do you like boys or girls? ”

Wang Guorui replied; "It's the same for both men and women, anyway, it's going to be a trend in the future!"

However, Kang Tongwei still said: "But it's better to have a boy!" “

"Oh my God!" Wang Guorui also spread his hands and said.

Since Kang Tongwei is also pregnant and has a big belly, Wang Guorui specially asked the designer to get a special seat for pregnant women. Not bad money anyway. And this time, Wang Guorui's women are not missing, even those Korean concubines are here, and everyone is watching in this important box. Wang Guorui felt that he was surrounded by so many women, and he was also quite thoughtful and full of vanity. As a man, don't you just want to wake up and take power in the world. Drunk lying on the knees of beautiful women? Now I can do it myself, and these twenty or so women are all here.

"It's a pity that Miss Duncan doesn't want to see me for the time being!" Wang Guorui said with a wry smile.

Zheng Hong said: "Since she doesn't want to come, then it's better not to come." ”

Duncan was reluctant to come to see Wang Guorui because he had declared war on the United States and was arguing with Wang Guorui. After all, Duncan is also an American, although China and the United States can't start a war, but they will be embarrassed to meet after all, so Duncan didn't come.

Wang Guorui looked at the sky. It's already starting to get darker, and all kinds of lights are getting ready. And this stage is open-air, not in the recording hall of the TV station. Because it is not suitable to build a temporary recording hall at this time, it is difficult to build a building in a month.

According to the design, this Spring Festival Gala will be carried out on a large scale, so the preparation of the director team is also worried. According to Wang Guorui's opinion, the site must be made large enough so that the people can come and see it freely. Although their identities may not be able to get close to the inner layer to see it up close, they must also let people stand and watch it from a distance! And it is carried out in the open air like this. It also represents the proximity to the people and the fact that they can enjoy it. Although the vast majority of the people may not be able to really look closely, it also represents the government's responsible attitude. There are many times. The government's "attitude" is far more important than the result, because if you don't even have the "attitude", how do you convince the people that your results are real? You are even perfunctory, how do you convince the people that this result is true? Maybe it was the real result, but because of your attitude, the people didn't want to believe it, and they couldn't believe it.

So Wang Guorui asked to choose an open field. And it is suitable in public places, at least so that the people have an attitude that the court is giving them the opportunity to pay attention to them. After all, this money is also taxpayers' money, and it is not suitable to enjoy it alone! It is necessary to have the necessary attitude, so that everyone feels more comfortable.

So those people thought about it, and they finally came up with a solution. That is to make this stage performance in the Summer Palace. The performance was performed on the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, so that the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace was large enough, so that many people could also take this opportunity to take a boat to watch. Of course, there is no guarantee that the effect will be good, but at least it ensures that they have the opportunity to come and see, which represents a sincere attitude.

And several beauties around Wang Guorui, as well as their own children, including Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, also came over. Angelina, the Dutch princess born to herself and Wilhelmina, also came from the river, but fortunately, now that she has been taught, Angelina has also learned more Chinese, which makes Wang Guorui feel better. Otherwise, her daughter, a Chinese princess, can't even speak Chinese, what's that called?

These dozens of warblers and swallows are around, and it feels very good. Wang Guorui and their royal family occupied a ship alone, so they also did a good job on the stage. And in the distance, there are also quite a few cameras preparing, so these cameras are also here to prepare for recording.

"Your Majesty, our director team is ready, we will conduct multi-angle and all-round video recording this time, and then after the show is finished, it can be edited into a film videotape, and then sent to all parts of the country to prepare for playback. Although there are fewer movie theaters at present, I think there will be more and more in the future, and at that time the people will be able to see these videos. The director said.

This is also Wang Guorui's request for recording this Spring Festival Gala. Although it is impossible to do the so-called live broadcast in this era, Wang Guorui also asked for the so-called video. These videos will be recorded in all directions and from multiple angles, and then edited when needed, and finally assembled into a film that can be distributed to movie theaters across the country for people to watch in movie theaters. Of course, there are few movie theaters at present, and the prices are expensive, so there are still a few people who can afford to watch movies.

However, in the future, there will be more and more movie theaters, and the price will also be reduced, and when the time comes, it can be considered to be played for the people after many years. This can be regarded as another form of responsibility to the people, these broadcast evenings are organized by the people paying taxes, and it is impossible to let a small number of bureaucrats and nobles in the capital and a few people be able to see them, at least let the whole people have the opportunity to see them. There is no live broadcast at the moment, so it is played in the form of a movie in this kind of video grouping and editing.

However, maybe people want to see everyone in the real world, and it will be difficult in ten years, and there are too few movie theaters and the price is too expensive. However, in a serious and responsible attitude, this video still needs to be available, so that future generations can reminisce about it, so that future generations will not feel that it is really extravagant and wasteful, and make those taxpayers feel that they have not received the treatment they deserve even if they have spent money. And this is also a way to win the hearts of the people, show that their government is serious and responsible, and express their importance to the rights of citizens and taxpayers, and make them feel that every cent of taxes they pay is worth it, rather than "feeding dogs and pigs".

"Your Majesty, it's already eight o'clock in the evening, may I ask if it's started!" The director hurriedly asked.

"Here you are the director, you are in charge, and I won't interfere!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui should not interfere in this kind of thing, this is the director's responsibility, not his own responsibility, don't meddle casually, otherwise you will leave others with the impression that they interfere in everything, and then interfere too much. This kind of Spring Festival Gala matter, let the director solve it himself, if he is an emperor who even personally intervenes in this kind of thing, then this must be too low. It's like the central leaders of later generations almost didn't personally ask about the Spring Festival Gala, and most of them solved everything by their own TV stations. At what level is responsible for what kind of things, whether it is the army or the government, the most taboo thing is to easily skip the command.

Casually skipping commands, especially skipping commands some trivial things, is a very big taboo. If an emperor of his own empire even cares about the arrangement of this kind of program, it will be too low. So let them all hurry up and take responsibility for themselves, and Wang Guorui should not interfere too much in these small things.

Of course, maybe it's a big deal for this director, because the director of the first Spring Festival Gala may be promoted and reused in the future. But for Wang Guorui, the emperor of the empire, it is a "big fart", so don't meddle in it, otherwise others will not dare to make up their minds to make decisions in the future, which is not good for the national government.

So Wang Guorui didn't habitually say anything "agree", thinking that if he expressed "agree", although on the surface he agreed, but in fact he "intervened", so maybe many people will not dare to do things too reassuringly in the future, and they have to ask for instructions. So when it should be authorized, it is still necessary to authorize, so Wang Guorui did not say anything to agree, but respected the director and let him be responsible for his own affairs, Wang Guorui, as the emperor, should not personally open his mouth to "approve", which may bring some unnecessary trouble in the future, and maybe everyone will interfere too much in some "small things" that do not belong to their own level.
