Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 612 NHK Red and White Song Battle

...

Yesterday at 16:36, the Long March-3 carrier rocket was successfully launched, sending the communication satellite Huanya-1 of Xiangjiang Huanya Satellite Holdings Co., Ltd. into the predetermined orbit. ←,

This successful launch marks that the development of my country's aerospace technology has entered a new historical stage.

It is reported that this is the first time that my country has undertaken a commercial launch mission, and it has accumulated valuable experience for my country to enter the international satellite launch market.

This afternoon, relevant leaders met with the visiting shareholders of Heung Kong Media Asia Satellite Holdings Co., Ltd. The two sides had friendly talks and signed a cooperation agreement for the next stage.

...

Compared with Deng Lijun's Shanghai concert, which was lively but did not make it into the scope of national media coverage, the successful launch of Media Asia One was mentioned many times in the news. When Tang Huan returned to the residence of his grandparents in Yanjing at night, he watched it again on TV.

How much did this launch cost? Grandma asked casually, and put a small basin on the coffee table, soaking a few frozen pears in cold water.

Probably around 35 million US dollars. Tang Huan took out a frozen pear, cut a piece with a fruit knife, and put it in his mouth.

Okay. Grandma nodded with satisfaction, Although it cost a lot of money, this successful launch, privately speaking, is a comfort to your parents; publicly speaking, it can also promote the development of the domestic aerospace field. It’s a great joy.”

Grandma, you got to the point. Tang Huan put down the pear core and gave a thumbs up. This cooperation has had a great impact on all parties. Even the most fringe onlookers have seen the strength of China.

It's just you who think too much. Grandma stopped with a smile, Don't eat in such a hurry, or you will easily feel sick to your stomach. No one will fight with you.

It is estimated that this winter, this local product can only be eaten this time. Tang Huan reluctantly put down the fruit knife, Hua Asia Satellite has been successfully launched into the sky, and I will go to Xiangjiang right away to make full use of this resource , I don’t have time to stay here in the mainland.”

Aren't you coming back during the Chinese New Year? Grandma asked with some disappointment.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan will be re-elected next month. I want to attend the ceremony, which coincides with the Lunar New Year. Tang Huan shook his head.

Grandma is not an ordinary old lady. Although she felt regretful, she quickly adjusted her mentality, Then spend the New Year with your aunt in the United States,

You are also a person with perfect sons and daughters, which is equally good.

The old man's thoughts are obviously focused on his life, and the big events like the launch of the Media Asia satellite are just mentioned. The following topics have always revolved around Tang Huan himself.

After a while, seeing Zhou Zhong waving at the door of the study, Tang Huan got up and said, Grandma, please rest first, I will talk to grandpa.

Zhou Zhong's job has changed. Tomorrow he will be transferred from Hong Kong City to Island City. This is a promotion, and of course it is also to better utilize his ability in the field of economic construction.

Grandpa now hardly pays attention to Tang Huan's family affairs. But he has always cared about the growth of Zhou Zhong, the former secretary.

The next time I visit, I will change places. Tang Huan congratulated in advance.

You, the God of Wealth, are always welcome. Zhou Zhong made a cup of hot tea for Tang Huan.

Your way of promoting development through consumption has really helped some domestic industries that are in difficulties. Grandpa said approvingly.

Personal abilities are limited after all, so let's count on what you can do. Tang Huan shook his head slightly.

Such a large country is undergoing transformation, and the situation is complicated and conflicts abound. He just did some things in key areas within his ability, and at the same time relied on this qualification to increase his status. He may not have the nobleness that his grandfather admired in his tone. .

Of course. With the expansion of power in this world, the things Tang Huan wants to ask his grandfather for advice are becoming more and more important and even sensitive. This is even more so today. Topics including Funan, the United States, Xiangjiang, etc. have all been mentioned one by one. and.

...

December 31. On the last day of 1984, Tang Huan came to Xiangjiang, the main purpose of which was naturally to promote the progress of the application of Huanya-1. After all, such an expensive investment should not only play a superficial symbolic role, but also make full use of it.

In fact, Media Asia One, which mainly serves the Asia-Pacific region, does not lack users. Regardless of the resources that can be brought by the shareholders of AIA Satellite Holdings Co., Ltd., Tang Huan's Xiangjiang series of industries alone have contributed a lot of rigid demand.

Needless to say, Xiangjiang Telecom is the only communication company in Xiangjiang at this stage. The importance of communication satellites in the modern communication industry has become more and more obvious.

At the same time, the application of communication satellites in the field of TV program transmission is also developing vigorously. Media Asia TV's local and international channels are still traditional terrestrial TV channels, but the mtv channel, Yinyue Channel, which has been on the air for almost a year, already has the foundation to expand outside Hong Kong.

After getting off the plane, Tang Huan boarded the special car that came to meet him, and went straight to his own Mandarin Hotel to stay. Although he has quite a few villas in Xiangjiang, it's not as convenient as staying in a five-star hotel for only a few days.

On the way, Tang Huan listened to some reports on Xiangjiang's recent situation. As the loss of Hong Kong is a foregone conclusion, the Hong Kong government has obviously begun to be absent-minded in governance, completely following the inertia of the legacy left by the previous Hong Kong Governor MacLehose who was re-elected four times in a row.

As for the folks, many companies are planning to relocate in private; the elites are staring at the right to live in the UK; the middle class is planning to emigrate; ...is it a random word?

There will inevitably be discomfort during the adaptation period. I believe that within half a year, people will turn their main energy to how to make money. After all, Xiangjiang's stock market and real estate are obviously recovering. Tang Huan waved his hand lazily.

In the past half a month, he first flew from the United States to China, and then shuttled between Shanghai, Yanjing, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base in the mainland, etc., plus the intense satellite launch, he was really tired.

In terms of climate, switching from the dry and cold of Yanjing to the warmth of Xiangjiang also aggravated this feeling.

After Tang Huan entered the personal luxury suite reserved for him by the Mandarin Hotel, Weng Jingjing greeted him with a smile. I must be tired after traveling all the way. I have put the bath water away.

It's still my little brother who is considerate. Tang Huan gently pinched the other's cheek that was ready to break.

Compared with the confidante who belonged to the 1950s like Tang Huan, who were independent kings, Weng Jingjing seemed to be the leader among the beautiful girls in Xiangjiang in the 1960s. This is because she can be ranked first in Wenhua. Waiting for Tang Huan in the hotel, you can see some clues.

The reason. It's nothing more than a specific difference in personal ability. Although Weng Jingjing is young, her mind is definitely considered the best among them.

Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to the quietly formed order in the backyard. After all, Weng Jingjing was at least competent in her current position. .

Soaking in the hot water, Tang Huan really felt comfortable all over, and his fatigue was swept away.

While rubbing Tang Huan's shoulders, Weng Jingjing chatted about the new things in Xiangjiang. It made the man laugh from time to time.

By the way, today is the last day of 1984. Media Asia TV will rebroadcast NHK's Red and White Songs of Heroes. We need to act quickly, so don't miss the time for Sister Lijun's appearance. Weng Jingjing is well-behaved. reminded.

There's plenty of time. Tang Huan patted on the bathtub, My little brother, sit down quickly.

You've been on the plane for such a long time, are you okay? My mother said that. If a man is too tired, he will easily lose his temper immediately. Weng Jingjing bit her lip. Chucking and laughing, her pretty face was radiant with the heat.

After Tang Huan coughed twice, he cursed with a smile: Bah, bah, it's just some hearsay with a half-knowledge. Life lies in exercise. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, come here quickly.

Who would believe it? Weng Jingjing rolled her eyes, You can still be short of women. If you are interested, just wave your hand and you will be lined up like a cloud of beauties.

Why am I so casual? Tang Huan urged, Whether it's true or not, you'll know in a while.

...

According to the law, the Japanese do not celebrate the Lunar New Year, but the Gregorian New Year, which is New Year’s Day every year—January 1st.

Therefore, on the evening of December 31 every year, the music special program Red and White Songs and Battles broadcast live by the NHK at the Shibuya Hall in Tokyo, Japan, has become a cultural event with special significance, which is somewhat similar to the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

Of course, the former is far older than the latter, dating back to 1945 with a slightly different name and played on the radio.

It is conceivable how rich the folk entertainment activities were at that time. Therefore, under the rave reviews, the first session of the Red and White Song Hezhan was officially launched in 1951; Trial broadcast; in the fourth session, the holding time was fixed on December 31 every year, and at the same time, live audiences began to join.

There is no doubt that Red and White Songs and Battle has been equated with success since its birth, and it has achieved extremely high ratings every year. In the 14th session in 1963, it set a record of 81.4%. Furthermore, it is often called monster show and monster show by the media.

With such a powerful ratings, coupled with the radiant effect of Japan's rapidly rising economic strength, the influence of Red and White Song Hezhan is extremely strong.

Compared with this, it is difficult to create such high-level New Year's Eve activities in the surrounding areas, even the current Xiangjiang can't do it. Therefore, Red and White Song He Zhan was broadcast by many foreign TV stations.

For example, TVB's Emerald Channel, since 1967, has broadcast the theme of All Japan's Red Singer Contest every year, and Li's TV Chinese Channel also broadcasts it, and has a well-known master of ceremonies as the host and interpreter.

After Tang Huan put the red wine and two crystal cups on the tea table, Weng Jingjing, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. No need to adjust, it was directly on Media Asia TV's Hong Kong channel. On the channel, the host is doing the rest of the broadcast.

There was a rather special guest in the live broadcast room, that is, Chen Meiling, a Japanese-born singer born in Xiangjiang. Her record business in Xiangjiang was signed with DreamWorks, and she released the Japanese and English album Lijiang Song in 1982. Of course, the focus of her career is still in Japan.

The special status of Chen Meiling as a guest is naturally because she also appeared on the stage of Red and White Song He Zhan.

So far, a total of three Chinese singers have appeared on Red and White Song He Zhan:

The first was Ouyang Feifei, who was selected for two consecutive terms in the 23rd session in 1972 and the 24th session in 1973. She became the first non-Japanese solo singer to appear in the history of Red and White Song He Zhan and also the first in Taiwan. The first artist to board Red and White Song He Zhan;

The second place is Chen Meiling in the live broadcast room. She was selected for three consecutive years in the 24th session in 1973, the 25th session in 1974, and the 26th session in 1975. The artist of Song He Battle.

The third place is Weng Qianyu, who was selected for two consecutive terms in the 30th session in 1979 and the 31st session in 1980.

Red and White Song He Zhan has its own set of criteria for the selection of participants, which is usually measured by record sales, and singers who have released hit songs that year are invited to appear.

Therefore, being invited by the hugely influential Hongbai Song He Zhan is not only a very high honor, but also an important affirmation of the achievements of the music career.

After all, the Hong Kong music scene and the Taiwan music scene are too small to be compared with the Japanese music scene, so this career achievement has almost become the highest goal that Asian singers can pursue. Otherwise, Deng Lijun would not have gone to Japan so far to develop and work hard.

However, compared to Ouyang Feifei, Chen Meiling, and Weng Qianyu, three successful seniors, Deng Lijun obviously lost a lot of advantages.

Ouyang Feifei, who was the pioneer and unique, integrated too many first factors, which made the Japanese feel fresh and became famous in one fell swoop; Chen Meiling also benefited a lot from this general trend.

By the time Deng Lijun came to Japan to develop, the freshness of the Japanese had almost passed away. In addition, she did not adapt to the Japanese style created by the Japanese company. The first year's results were dismal. Instead, she launched Airport achieved success.

Originally following this trend, Deng Lijun's career achievements in Japan were steadily rising, but a false passport incident suddenly appeared, and everything was wiped out. The stage is inevitably a bit of a late bloomer.

But one thing must be pointed out is that Deng Lijun, who came from a grassroots background and dropped out of school early, has more than these disadvantages. Weng Qianyu, who came from a famous family, is not comparable at all, and Ouyang Feifei, Chen Meiling, and Weng Qianyu are all singers in Japan, far more than those who travel between Southeast Asia and Japan. It is easier for Deng Lijun to get development opportunities.
