Chapter 697 Spring Festival Gala in Chinatown
He Liming, the person in charge of a guild hall in Chinatown, received them.

With regard to CCTV's hosting of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala sub-venue here, negotiations have been carried out a long time ago, and there is no need for coordination.

"It's our honor." He Li was obviously very excited. "I didn't expect CCTV to choose our place. Originally, San Francisco was the largest and most representative place in the world."

Zhao Zhiyong naturally wouldn't say it was because of Lin Qirong, but just explained.

"For us, no matter which place is the place where our compatriots live, it is of great significance.

Besides, New York is a cosmopolitan city, so it is very representative for us to put the first overseas branch venue here.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, here we have more resources and can invite better artists to perform on stage. "

"We will definitely cooperate with all our strength. Everyone is very excited about this news, and we have been looking forward to it for a long time."

He Liming glanced at Lin Qirong and said with a smile, "I think it's mainly because of Mr. Lin Qirong."

Both Zhao Zhiyong and Lin Qirong were surprised.

He Liming said, "Recently, we have heard Mr. Lin's name a lot, and he is very famous, especially Shirley's birthday party concert a few days ago. At that time, several young people here went to it. That excitement at that time.

It can be said that you are the idol of many young people here, and you are also the pride of our Chinese. After all, there are not many people who can perform so well in one field in the United States. Most Chinese have a very difficult life and need to pay a huge amount. Only hard work can gain a foothold in this place, and very few can achieve outstanding results.

Your appearance has given us a lot of confidence. "

Unexpectedly, they would pay so much attention to him, Lin Qirong felt warm in his heart, but naturally he would not be so easily floated up.

He waved his hand and said, "Chairman He has won the award, I am not that good. You left your hometown and came overseas to work hard, showing the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese to the world.

When the country is suffering from wars and disasters, you are also the first to lend a helping hand without complaining.

The Chinatowns scattered all over the world are also a window of the country in the world, showing our Chinese culture and heritage to countries and people all over the world.

In fact, from before to now, you overseas Chinese are our role models.

This time CCTV decided to open a branch venue overseas. I think it is a very correct choice, allowing people across the country to have a look at the world-famous Chinatown and the lives of our overseas Chinese.

We are all compatriots, connected by blood, no matter how far apart we are, our hearts are connected, we are all one family. "

He Liming was stunned for a while, and his expression changed for a long time before he exhaled slowly.

"At first, I thought it was doubtful that Mr. Lin could achieve such a high achievement at such a young age, but now I know why.

I thank you for all overseas Chinese, thank you for your understanding and support to us. "

He stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Qirong.

"You're welcome."

Lin Qirong hurriedly got up and avoided.

"I just hope that this time we can do our best to run this sub-venue well, so that the people of the motherland can see that you are living well overseas, and that your hearts will always be connected with the motherland."

He Liming nodded, "Don't worry, this is exactly what we really think, and we will do our best."

Next, we will discuss the specific implementation details. Before this, a lot of work has been done by the staff, but Zhao Zhiyong still needs to determine the specifics here.

Lin Qirong and Tong Tong will perform on stage. This is already a certainty. On the issue of inviting local stars, He Liming put forward their opinions. He wants to see Shirley and another superstar Jabba James perform on stage. This superstar Very popular among their group.

"It depends on Qirong." Zhao Zhiyong could only look at Lin Qirong and smiled.

Lin Qirong nodded, took out his phone at the scene, and called Miranda, he had no choice but to ask her for help.

As a result, Miranda agreed immediately, "Jabba should be fine recently, I will ask him later, he should not miss such a good thing.

Shirley is completely fine. I'll let her go and play with you, so I'll spend the Spring Festival with you. "

"Thank you, Miranda."

Another 10 minutes or so later, Miranda called.

"Jabba has already agreed, he is happy to attend this party, and hopes to meet you.

I will give you the contact information of his agent, and you can just contact him directly to discuss the specific details. "

"Ok, thanks."

Lin Qirong hung up the phone, and laughed with He Liming, "Fortunately, Jabba James agreed, and he will appear in our CCTV Spring Festival Gala."

"That's great." He Liming said happily.

With such a superstar supporting the venue, the cards in their sub-venue are also enough.

For the specific program, Chinatown has been rehearsing for a while. Although it is not as good as the professional one, it is still very good.

"This is our own performance, which is very important." Lin Qirong accompanied Zhao Zhiyong to watch the performance they prepared, and put forward his own opinion, "But for the opening part, I have a small opinion."

The surrounding staff all looked over.

"Let everyone see this stage from the beginning, it is a bit too simple and too ordinary."

Lin Qirong pointed to the surrounding buildings and said.

"I admit that the stage you carefully built is very beautiful, but you have overlooked that the most attractive thing in Chinatown is not the stage, but the street, the people on this street and the meaning it represents.

Why don't we blend the opening song with the street and the people on it?Think about it, everyone, when the broadcast signal from our side reached Huaxia, the first thing you saw was the tall Chinese-style archway and a few big characters on it, and then accompanied by the singing, the camera slowly moved from the whole Sweeping through the area, there are our people standing there singing in special buildings, what would it feel like? "

He Liming imagined that scene in his mind, and felt his nose ache, because that scene was so touching.

Zhao Zhiyong clapped his hands and said, "Yes, this opening will be more unique and shocking, and of course the effect will be better, and it will also perfectly integrate with this song."

"For the singers, I suggest that people from all walks of life who actually live here sing, of all ages, so that they can have the most authentic feeling, the feeling of being connected with the motherland.

Is it technically possible?If we can't, our best ideas will be in vain. "

"It must be done." Zhao Zhiyong said firmly, "This gala is of great significance. It is meant to be seen by Chinese people all over the world. If it succeeds, we will set up branch venues in Chinatowns in various countries every year. The first step is very important. .”

The technical director next to him also nodded, "Although it is very difficult, it is not impossible. If you work overtime these days, it should be fine."

As for the matter of funding, in the face of such a great significance, there is no need to discuss it.

Time passed in a rush of preparation.

Apart from participating in the rehearsal, Lin Qirong accompanied Zuo Youran, Tongtong and Shirley to visit Chinatown every day.

Compared with Huaxia, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival here is much stronger. Perhaps it is because everyone is drifting overseas and needs some psychological comfort, so they pay special attention to various festivals.

With the approach of the Spring Festival, the whole area has turned into a sea of ​​red, decorations such as lanterns and concentric knots can be seen everywhere, and occasionally you can see traditional Chinese martial arts performances such as dancing dragons, auspicious lions, tiger-crane double-shaped boxing, and Nanquan. , There is a strong aroma coming from restaurants that can be seen everywhere, and rice cakes, candies and other things are sold everywhere on the street, and the strong flavor of the New Year blows to the face.

The streets are full of Chinese compatriots who wear all kinds of clothes and speak dialects from various places, but they are all black-haired and black-eyed Chinese compatriots. They walk through the streets and alleys, buy all kinds of new year goods here, and want to have a happy Spring Festival .

The numerous programs being rehearsed on the stage set up in the central area are naturally the most concerned objects of everyone. The news that CCTV will hold the Spring Festival Gala sub-venue here also spread like wildfire, which made the people here very excited.

It is certainly a very exciting thing to be able to celebrate the Spring Festival with my hometown and family members thousands of miles away on such a special festival.

They have already decided that they must come to the party at that time.

It is believed that tens of thousands of people will gather here to participate.

"Is this your Spring Festival?"

Xueli and Tongtong kept eating food with their hands in their hands, and kept looking around. Everything here filled her with interest.

She knew about the fame of Chinatown, but it was her first time visiting such a place, so she was very excited.

"Yes." Lin Qirong smiled, "But it's not like this every day. Usually, everyone is busy with work and life, so it's impossible to be so lively. Now it's because the Spring Festival is coming, and everyone is preparing for it.

Our Spring Festival is just like your Christmas, it is the most important festival, but we have much less holidays than you. "

This should be one of the biggest regrets of Chinese people. Even during the Spring Festival, they cannot spend much time with their families at home.

But this is also for life, there is no way, after all, Huaxia has not developed to the height of the United States.

"I think it's amazing. It feels like everyone's hearts are united together through this festival." Shirley said, "We spend Christmas, and there is nothing to do except carnival and parties,"

"Then let's enjoy our Spring Festival." Lin Qirong said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will cook myself, and we will celebrate the Spring Festival together."

"Well, this is what I'm looking forward to the most."

Shirley said happily, smiling like a flower, her face full of anticipation.

In such a beautiful time, the Spring Festival in China has finally come.
