1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 83 Three-step plan

First, unify thoughts, unify goals, determine the right to speak, and then formulate strategies, tactics and specific plans.

First of all, strategically, Xia Tian certainly never thought of surpassing Pierre Cardin.

Because their clothes are really pretty and this is also the trend in the future.

But not winning doesn't mean you will lose - Summer Inequality~
What summer wants is to show the fashion of working people, show our spiritual outlook, and seize a certain right to interpret beauty.

This is not a zero-sum game.

There is a word called "win-win".

Of course, it’s not about winning twice.

I talked with my friends in the summer and decided that what we wanted was to showcase ourselves and the beauty and wisdom of the working people.

As for winning or losing, beauty has no standard, so there is no winning or losing.
Then there's the tactics.

It is not enough for a group of young people like Xia Tian to compete with foreign fashion designers who have their own teams and even support from above.

This is not self-deprecation.

Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.

Can these people tailor a set of clothes? No!

They need leverage.

What summer borrows is the collective strength.

The small group is the forty or fifty friends in front of you, and the large group is the people behind these forty or fifty friends who can be leveraged.

The first thing that comes to mind in summer is Shougang.

Shougang has 80,000 to 90,000 employees, and is one of the largest factories in the country!

There are also many supporting factories, and there are several garment factories alone!
This can be exploited!
Last year, Shougang implemented the contracting system, which is now very effective.

Director Zhou is also a leader who is energetic, capable and courageous to be the first in the world.

For example, the factory is currently conducting technical consultations with Luxembourg, hoping to export our unique top-fired hot air furnace technology.

If this succeeds, it will be the first technology export agreement signed with a foreign country in my country's metallurgical history.

This is a very innovative pioneer factory manager...

Because of Lao Pai Luo, Xia Tian had communicated with the factory’s leadership before, and also met with Director Zhou.

Now is the time...

It's not a business deal, and you can't use Xia's father's identity as the propaganda section chief to smooth the matter over. That would be of a different nature.

So, we have to create an opportunity.

There is no need to rush now, because according to the information Xiaodong found out, Ms. Song Huaijia has obviously also reached a bottleneck.

Ma Xiaojun also participated in the "information-seeking" work. It is said that the second Pierre Cardin fashion show is planned to be held in March next year.

In that case, it would take several months.

I discussed it with my friends to stabilize their morale and make sure everyone should pay attention to this matter in the next few months.

The rest depends on summer.

……

In a cafeteria of Shougang, two workers were eating. After eating, they did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they sat for a while to rest and chat.

"Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"Recently, our kid and a group of other teenagers have been discussing a labor clothing exhibition."

"What are you working for?"

“Labor Costume Exhibition!”

"What's that for?"

"It showed the working people's clothing, saying it was both beautiful and practical, reflecting our spirit or something... I don't remember anything else."

"What is this? Just nonsense."

"It's really not."

"How to say?"

"Last year there was a fashion show held by foreigners that was criticized. Did you know that?"

"Yes, the newspapers have been criticizing it for several days in a row."

"Yes, that's it. The foreigner is here again, and he's going to prepare a bigger exhibition. My kid said that we can't let them look down on us, because the clothes of our working people are just as beautiful..."

"Well, if you put it that way, it does make sense!"

Similar conversations have occurred in many places around Shougang in recent days.

Although there are mixed opinions on this matter, everyone is still unanimous on one point: not only foreigners have clothes, the clothes of us working people are just as beautiful!
This concept was quietly promoted by Xia Tian through the publicity of those friends.

Of course, no one cared about this in the past. Whether it looked good or not, people didn’t have the conditions to care about that. What mattered was practical, durable, and useful.

But now that foreigners are coming to the exhibition, we have to be careful.

After all, it was still the 80s, not the later era of universal fawning on foreigners - all foreign farts were considered fragrant.

The people nowadays are full of energy and vigor, and they are also full of vigor and vigor. They just refuse to accept it!
This is the first step, to build momentum among the mass base.

We have to continue, subtly, mention it every few days to deepen the impression...

That day Xia went to the song and dance troupe and was caught by the deputy troupe leader Aunt Wang, who asked him, "Why haven't you been here for a long time?"

Xia Tian just helped an aunt with her dance partner - her dance partner was late and didn't come, so Xia Tian took over to help with the practice.

Xia Tian is okay, he has some talent, can find that rhythm, and has good physical condition to cooperate.

Facing Aunt Wang's questioning, Xia Tian also complained: "Aunt Wang, it's not that I don't want to come! As soon as I come, they want to sing, listen to music, and dance with me!"

He slapped his thigh and said, "Just now, there was one who went even further. She wanted me to go to the cafeteria to have a meal in front of them. I'm not a circus monkey!"

Several aunts who were eavesdropping on the side burst into laughter and were waved away by Aunt Wang.

"Alright, alright, I get it. I'll tell them later that it's not that outrageous!"

"That's it!"

I came here this summer just to get a free ticket.

There is a "New Star Concert" held at the Capital Gymnasium, hosted by the Yanjing Evening News. It's a good summer event.

That afternoon, Xia Tian went there and got a backstage ticket~
Other songs are fine, but there is one song that Xia is very familiar with - "Night at the Naval Port"!
"The sea breeze blows gently
waves you gently shake

How hard it is for sailors on long voyages..."

As soon as the song was sung for a few lines, the audience burst into applause, as if the sound of the sea waves was accompanying the singer.

A new song was interrupted by applause three times!
The singer is Ms. Su Xiaoming from the Naval Political Department Art Troupe.

After she finished singing, the audience kept shouting her name!
It is said that the composer of this song once followed the Marines to sea and experienced tremendous turbulence. After learning that every mission of the Marines was so difficult, he was inspired to write the song.

This song can be regarded as one of the accompaniments of the times!
Two days later, on the 25th, Dad Xia came home from get off work and told someone something.

The authorities issued an open letter to all D members and Communist Q League members regarding the issue of controlling my country's population growth, calling on DT members to take the lead in having only one child.

Xia Tian: I told you to open a small account a long time ago, but you didn’t listen.

In the next few days, Xia Tian went to three or four places every day and met twenty or thirty people.

While controlling the "progress of the fashion exhibition topic", I saw the discussion about "Naval Port Night" in the newspaper.

I have mentioned before the singing of "Homesickness" by Mr. Li Guyi, who was heavily criticized because of his soft singing style.

This song "Navy Night" is no exception~
In just a few days, the song was played repeatedly on television and radio, becoming popular all over the country and making the names of singers such as Zhu Mingying and Su Xiaoming enter people's hearts.

There will naturally be a lot of discussions, praises and criticisms!

A discussion was also launched in the Yanjing Evening News: Why can’t singers be called “singing stars”?
As a result, the word "singer" began to become popular and began to change from a derogatory word to a complimentary word.

Later, some people believed that this new star concert announced the birth of new pop music in mainland China.

Whether it is born or not is a matter for the future.

Now the singer Su Xiaoming has received similar treatment as Li Guyi, who said that it was decadent music.

However, a naval officer soon stood up to support it: "The military labor union serves the army and the soldiers. As long as the soldiers, the army and the masses like it, they can perform and sing boldly!"

Another year has passed, and the spring breeze has become warmer.

Summer knows what the future holds, now just wait quietly for the wind to come.

……

He further deepened the work of the "Labor Clothing Exhibition" and began to make efforts from the grassroots level to the surface.

For example, he drew several pictures in the Shougang plant newspaper and wrote articles introducing several small details that the workers themselves modified on their clothes - for example, adding a special pocket would be helpful for placing tools at a certain position, which would greatly facilitate work.

In some work environments, it would be very convenient and comfortable to tighten the trouser legs with an elastic band.

These were collected by the children of Shougang in the summer. Some of the oldest among them have already replaced their fathers and started working in the factory.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, apprentice~
At the same time, Zhao Baogang, the big guy who I met before and with whom I had some exchanges, also came to see Xia Tian.

"Tian'er, what do you think of this article I wrote?"

In the summer, I asked him to write something praising the workers, with a focus on clothing and tools.

Specifically, it is about an apprentice who has just started working and has taken over a set of work clothes and tools from his parents.
Just make it up. For this plate of vinegar, make some dumplings~
Xia Tian nodded: "The article is already very well written, but I still have a little suggestion..."

"you say!"

"Look, the purpose of our article is to create emotions, so in terms of wording and sentence length, we can do this..."

This is the occupational disease of self-media in summer~
Fortunately, I restrained myself and didn't come up with a UC title.

This article is to be published in the Shougang Plant newspaper.

The first step is to leave a concept and some emotion in the minds of grassroots workers; the second step is to create publicity and momentum in public opinion...

The third step will be the cultural and artistic performance in the near future, and Milan will need to contribute at that time!
