Rebirth of the Tech Madman
Chapter 219 I am an all-around man
In addition to various disruptions encountered during the Moscow Olympic Games, the broadcast of the event has also shrunk a lot. The organizations that have obtained the broadcast rights are the Soviet Broadcasting Corporation, Eurovision and the International Broadcasting and Television Organization in the European region; That is TV Asahi; Latin America is the Ibero-American Television Organization; Australia is the Seventh TV network.
As for North America, it was almost completely boycotted. Those with the exclusive rights to broadcast in the United States only regularly broadcast highlights and news briefings, but did broadcast the opening ceremony during the evening program, but without the broadcast rights, people can only get a taste of it.
In Canada, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) did the same thing, canceling almost all broadcasts.
Therefore, after attending the opening ceremony, Tang Huan flew from Moscow to New York, and it was really uncomfortable for him to turn from lively to deserted.
But, the fact that the Soviet Union was blocked by others has nothing to do with us little fishes. It just so happens that my song queen's North American tour will not be robbed of the limelight, Tang Huan thought complacently.
Jet lag can sometimes cause trouble, but sometimes it can bring a little convenience. For example, in order to watch Deng Lijun's tour at Lincoln Center on July 20, Tang Huan can easily travel between Moscow and New York.
In the original time and space, Deng Lijun was just a singer with a star halo, and it was inevitable that she was controlled by others before and after her comeback. Now there is no need to be so humble. Under the leadership of Tang Huan. It can be said that everything is not asking for help.
As for the configuration of the concert, professionals in lighting, sound, band, chorus, etc. are even more unambiguous. They have gathered elites in the music field from China, the United States, and Japan to form a large orchestra with dozens of people.
The rehearsal started as early as July 19th. When Tang Huan saw Deng Lijun, it was at noon on July 20th.
It's so beautiful. After receiving the red rose from Tang Huan, Deng Lijun sniffed it with a smile. Then he gasped in surprise, It's so fragrant.
This is the Kazanlak rose from Bulgaria. According to legend, it was watered by the goddess with her own blood. It is particularly red and fragrant. Tang Huan showed a complacent look on his face. Airlifted from Bulgaria.
Where is Bulgaria? Deng Lijun asked curiously while holding roses in her hands.
Located in the Balkan Peninsula in the southeastern part of Europe, bordering Greece, it is known as the Country of Roses. Tang Huan continued to show off: In the center of its territory, there is a river valley that is more than 100 kilometers long. It is called the Densa Valley. It has a history of more than 300 years of rose cultivation. It is rich in more than 7,000 kinds of roses, so it is also called Rose Valley.”
The Creator is great.
Deng Lijun praised sincerely, but then her eyes turned, and she asked with a sweet smile: It seems to be Christina's way of mobilizing so many people and spending a lot of money for mere roses. , Make me happy with flowers and Buddhas.
You have wronged me. Tang Huan laughed, It was written by me, and the main purpose was to advertise in the Soviet Union through the Olympic Games.
Let's be honest, sending me flowers is just a matter of convenience. Deng Lijun snorted, waved her hand and urged, I've already accepted the flowers, if you have nothing to do, you should leave quickly.
Then I'll go first. If I have time in the afternoon, I'll watch your rehearsal in the audience. Tang Huan stood up with a smile, enjoying the flirtatious thoughtfulness.
Many Chinese-language media came to this concert, including Baodao. It was really bad for him to stay too much beside Deng Lijun, the center of attention.
...
Lincoln Center, the largest performing arts center in the United States, was built in the 1960s during the urban renewal plan led by the famous urban planner Rob Moss, and received funding from the Rockefeller family, John Rockefeller III.
It is the first performance center in the United States that gathers major cultural institutions in one place. It is the world's largest art venue, which can accommodate 18,000 spectators at the same time, and costs a total of 168 million US dollars.
Lincoln Center is mainly dominated by three theaters surrounding Fountain Square - including the New York State Theater, the Metropolitan Opera House, and Avery Fisher Hall.
The venue for Deng Lijun's concert is the Avery Fisher Hall with 2,738 seats.
In addition, the New York Philharmonic, the longest-established orchestra in the United States, one of the oldest orchestras in the world, and one of the five major orchestras in the United States, left Carnegie Hall in 1962 and moved here as a resident land.
Tang Huan sat under the stage, watching Deng Lijun and the band rehearse, and next to him was Zubin Mehta, the music director of the New York Philharmonic since 1978. This person was born in a musical family in Mumbai, India, and his professional qualifications are not ordinary. deep.
One of Tang Huan's strengths is that no matter what industry people are in, they can find a point of entry for a topic and talk about it. Zubin Mehta was brought here by him. The manager of Lincoln Center also accompanied him. The photojournalist of Fang's Newspaper in San Francisco stood in the distance.
Watching Deng Lijun calmly use Chinese, English, and Japanese on the stage, patiently exchanging ideas with the band members, and speaking softly, the audience can feel the kind of spring breeze.
Therefore, apart from being full of praise for Deng Lijun's singing voice, the two were also deeply surprised by her language talent and personal charm.
Tang Huan introduced Deng Lijun's singing characteristics, especially the unique Deng's singing style, and expanded to talk about some oriental music topics. Zubin Mehta nodded frequently.
Take a break in between. Deng Lijun came over to say hello.
Tang Huan said with a smile, Miss Deng. Let me order a song, using your Deng style singing style, plus some r\u0026b and jazz skills, to perform The Moon Represents My Heart.
In addition to her own Deng's style of singing, Deng Lijun's singing is characterized by full of emotion during the singing process. Westerners may not be able to understand this, so let's play with skills, which is probably difficult for ordinary Chinese audiences at this stage. But professionals should be able to find the charm.
Deng Lijun nodded generously and agreed, and returned to the stage. After discussing with the band for a while, she began to cooperate with the performance.
After the song was over, Zubin Mehta stood up and applauded, then turned to Tang Huan and said, I didn't expect her singing voice to be so varied. If there is a chance, everyone must cooperate.
Tang Huan nodded with a smile, and said in his heart that it would not be too late to discuss this topic after returning to Asia after my song and regaining my former glory.
As time approaches evening. There are more and more Chinese people outside, it is not good for Tang Huan to stay in the audience so hated. After seeing off Zubin Mehta, he came to New York City Hall and met the current mayor, Ed Koch.
Because in the 1970s, New York experienced a financial crisis and received aid from the state government, Ed Koch, who took office in 1978 under such a general situation, seemed to be a savior who turned the tide.
In the original time and space, Ed Koch, like other contemporary political figures, was re-elected as mayor for more than ten years.
One of the joys of his tenure is that the graffiti culture in New York is in the ascendant, especially in the famous New York subway. Ed Koch ordered the police, with police dogs, to have fun with those avant-garde artists Almost.
Ed Koch has very strong political capital and has experience in the army in World War II. However, as a Democrat, he will support several Republicans as mayor of New York in the future, which shows to some extent that The complexity of the US political ecology.
Tang Huan got the opportunity to meet with Ed Koch by virtue of the contacts accumulated in the western United States and Democrats such as the mayor of San Francisco and the governor of California.
Everyone is a busy person, so Tang Huan straight to the point explained the purpose of coming, and asked Deng Lijun for a New York City Government Medal for his contribution to cultural exchanges.
As long as there is a way to do this kind of thing, it will be done naturally. It is very simple. Ed Koch readily agreed. He called his assistant and asked him to be responsible for this matter.
New York is a special place, so Ed Koch was even more busy than the governors of some states. Seeing that the other party didn't have time to eat together, Tang Huan said goodbye and left.
When he returned to Lincoln Center again, the time for the first show was coming up. There was a crowd of people outside the Avery Fisher Hall. The hungry Tang Huan finally squeezed in and found his seat.
He looked around, and there were no empty seats in the venue, no matter men, women, old or young, all had a look of anticipation on their faces, waiting for their own Chinese star to appear on the stage.
At exactly 7:30 p.m., the revolving lights in the center of the stage came on. Deng Lijun, wearing a bright green film evening dress, started the concert with the song Love Is in My Heart. He greeted the audience in Cantonese and Mandarin respectively, which immediately aroused bursts of cheers.
As an ethnic minority, the Chinese are in a marginal position in American society, and China has been squeezed out by the Western world for a long time. I feel that I will naturally support the rare Chinese idol star from the bottom of my heart.
Lele alone is not as good as all people. Tang Huan, who let Deng Lijun sing to himself whenever he had the chance, enjoyed the lively atmosphere very much. He squinted his eyes and tapped the time. forget.
The whole concert was divided into two halves, each lasting about 50 minutes, and soon came to an end with warm applause again and again.
Tang Huan was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and he quickly sneaked to the backstage to see if he could find some food to pad his stomach. Not to mention, he found some snacks in Deng Lijun's dressing room at the first stop.
Seeing Tang Huan wolfing down the food, Deng Lijun smiled until her eyes turned into crescent moons, You didn't eat tonight.
I can't confirm in advance whether I will have dinner with that New York mayor Ed Koch. I missed the time in the end. But this is good. I saw the early performance of this concert. Tang Huan wiped Start and answer.
You're so busy, don't watch the night show at eleven o'clock, it will be recorded anyway. Deng Lijun took the handkerchief distressedly, and gently wiped Tang Huan's face.
Alright. Tang Huan nodded, smelling the fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, You should also pay attention to rest. Tomorrow, UNICEF will appoint you as a goodwill ambassador. The day after tomorrow, the New York City Government will issue a cultural exchange contribution medal, It’s an important event, so be prepared.”
Understood. Deng Lijun hugged Tang Huan and murmured affectionately, Thank you for everything you have done for me, the man who stood silently behind me.
I can't help but be the man behind you, the man above you, and the man below you. Tang Huan concluded with a chuckle, I am an all-round man.
Get out quickly. Deng Lijun blushed as her deep feelings were destroyed. He gritted his teeth and reprimanded her, seeing how she looked around. Seemingly looking for a handy weapon like a feather duster, Tang Huan quickly ran away like a mouse.
...
The next day, Deng Lijun, accompanied by Tang Huan, came to the headquarters of UNICEF in New York and accepted the appointment of the current CEO James Grant as a goodwill ambassador.
This title seems to have come a little too smoothly, but don’t forget that the current mainstream of the world is still the Cold War between the East and the West. The public welfare affairs that UNICEF is responsible for are unavoidably high-spirited and somewhat niche. This is due to its international goodwill ambassador Only a few people such as Danny Kaye appointed in 1954 and those appointed in 1968 can see the clues.
After all, celebrities who are capable and willing to make contributions in this area are not just met by a random grab.
In any case, Deng Lijun became the first Chinese to undertake this task in this time and space, which is undoubtedly of great significance. The reporters recorded this unforgettable moment.
Turning around, it was another press conference. The New York City Government sent a representative, Ms. Godward, to present a golden apple brooch to Deng Lijun, congratulating her on her successful performances in two concerts in New York City, and hoped that she would perform again in New York in the near future.
Deng Lijun is also the first Chinese artist to receive this special honor.
Although Tang Huan made a trip in the center, Deng Lijun really deserved the honor.
After sitting in town and witnessing these two most important activities, Tang Huan was completely relieved.
As for the rest of the activities, Deng Lijun can handle it alone.
So Tang Huan met with her and explained his upcoming itinerary, I want to deliver the 200 PCs ordered by the Soviet Union in person. After you finish your work on the east coast of the United States, go back to the west coast. The concert in Los Angeles And the San Francisco concert, I should be able to catch up.
Don't arrange your schedule so tight just to catch up with my concert. After Deng Lijun complained, she took an English newspaper and asked curiously, Isn't this from your handwriting? What kind of ad was that a few days ago?
Deng Lijun's growth in the past year includes many aspects, and being able to read English newspapers is one of them.
In the past few days, apart from being busy helping Deng Lijun establish an image that is different from ordinary artists, Tang Huan also pays attention to the deployment of Fangyuan's computers, so he has no time to read newspapers.
He took it over and glanced at it. Although he was thick-skinned, he was still a little embarrassed in front of the woman he loved.
...
The Moscow Olympics was boycotted by the West, and the number of journalists was even greater than the number of athletes. One can imagine the excitement and sports achievements of the games.
Under such circumstances, it is really not easy for these media professionals to find news with a little value.
Their longing and anticipation finally came to fruition yesterday. Someone discovered an interesting thing, but it didn't come from the sports field, but off the sports field.
In the Olympic Village, all the athletes participating in the women's gymnastics received beautiful roses. What's more exaggerated is that these roses were airlifted directly from Bulgaria, the country of roses.
The Bulgarians in charge of this work revealed in an interview that when the competition reaches the final stage, the female athletes competing for medals will receive more and more beautiful roses.
Who is your employer? The reporters hurriedly asked.
Sorry to tell. The person in charge of Bulgaria who sent the flowers was tight-lipped.
How much will it cost to airlift these roses from Bulgaria? How could the reporters be dismissed so easily and change the direction of the question so quickly.
Roses are an important industry in Bulgaria, as well as an important source of foreign exchange. Bulgarians are naturally proud of the country of roses, so although they did not answer this question directly, they still proudly said: These roses are the best. Do the math yourself.
The more secretive the Bulgarians were, the more raging the fire of gossip among the reporters. In addition to publishing this anecdote as soon as possible, they also quickly launched a blanket search and investigation.
At first, the Soviet Union was very resistant to this. Damn, this is the Olympic Games we have worked so hard to hold. You guys should be professional, so don’t be like paparazzi seeing the scandal and rushing up.
But soon some reporters discovered that there seemed to be some mysteries hidden in the Bulgarian flower-giving operation. The most obvious thing was that the roses received by the Soviet women's gymnastics team were obviously higher in both quantity and grade.
This is a fan of our gymnastics team. Although there are some pranks, the spirit is commendable, and at the same time, it expands our positive influence.
After the Soviet Union got the news, they turned a blind eye and let the situation develop. (To be continued..)
