Chapter 918 Minister Hou is not happy
Big stars are here in Zhongxian! And there are so many big stars!
This news spread like wildfire in Zhongxian, and many people rushed to tell each other, especially those young people, who were so excited that they were celebrating the festival.
In Zhongxian Bar, the first three pages are almost all like this news:
"Today I met Na Young on the streets of Wenhua Road. We attached our photo. Everyone expressed their envy!"
"Wow, Yuquan is here in our county. Who knows what's going on? Is there a performance?"
"I heard it was to celebrate the party held in July 1st. Now the county finances are very good and it is not short of money. It is normal to hire a few stars."
...
The lively atmosphere in Zhongxian Bar has also attracted many bar friends from neighboring counties to come and visit. Of course, there are all things that are said, some are envious, some are questioning, and some are thinking that Zhongxian people are bragging...
From the Propaganda Department of Donglin Municipal Party Committee, Minister Hou Jincheng called the Propaganda Department of Zhongxian County Party Committee. The new Propaganda Minister is a local from Zhongxian County, named Li Anran. He is less than 40 years old and is considered a young man among the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Zhongxian County.
"Hello Minister Hou." Li Anran said respectfully on the phone. Minister Hou called at this time, and he had already guessed what was going on in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as Minister Hou spoke, he got straight to the point.
"Xiao Li, I heard that your Zhongxian has invited many celebrities and is going to hold a party. Is there such a thing?" Minister Hou asked in an official voice and asked in a full-scale manner.
"Minister Hou, I just heard this, and it should be different from the rumors outside. Our county has no plan to hold a party. If there is any, it must be reported to the city." Li Anran replied quickly.
He knew that Minister Hou was a person who was very particular about official power and his style, and what he disliked the most was that he took the initiative to do something without his consent and permission. This was in his opinion a disrespect for him. So Li Anran said this first to block his mouth.
"Oh? What's going on? I see there are many photos in the post bar in your county. I asked the technicians, but they don't look like they are from P?" Minister Hou said in confusion on the other end of the phone.
"Minister Hou, the stars are here, but not invited by our Propaganda Department. I just asked several other leaders in the county and got the news that these stars came to our county to participate in cultural performances. This is something the government has done, and the Propaganda Department has not participated." Li Anran replied quickly.
He said that he had left the Zhongxian Propaganda Department clean, which meant that he would tell you clearly: I didn’t invite people, and things were not mine, so it had nothing to do with me.
"Cultural going to the countryside? Since it is cultural going to the countryside, how can you not participate in the publicity channel?" Minister Hou's tone was a little unhappy on the phone.
"Minister Hou, going to the countryside in the countryside is one of the activities in our county to strengthen spiritual civilization construction this year. The Propaganda Department is involved. We have a deputy minister following this event throughout the process. However, the star team this time came quite suddenly. I just heard that it was our County Mayor Chu who invited us with his own connection. He did not tell our Propaganda Department in advance." Li Anran explained.
"Oh, that's the case." Hou Jincheng, who was on the other end of the phone, pondered for a while and said, "It's a good thing to go to the countryside. Since your county has such great strength and has invited so many high-level actors, I think this activity can be expanded and left to the city to do it so that other counties and districts can benefit. Right?" Hou Jincheng said on the phone with a haha.
He just heard this news, but he didn't know so much. When he learned that Zhongxian had invited so many first-line stars and didn't even say hello to the city, he felt a little unhappy. Zhongxian is now awesome. Especially the county magistrate Chu, who is so awesome, and no city leader dares to touch him. OK, he is awesome, we won't touch him, but this involves the cultural propaganda department, and he is the party's management. He, as the top administrative leader of the government, can't even reach the party committee. You are a propaganda minister, and you can't even take the trivial matter of cultural going to the countryside? You have to look at the face of a county magistrate? Are you a coward?
Hou Jinlai was an official who paid great attention to the rules of officialdom and was also an official who was very fond of merit. Hearing that so many celebrities from Zhongxian had participated in the cultural countryside, although he was a little unhappy on the surface, he had a different mindset in his heart.
Expand the cultural activities of going to the countryside to the whole city!
In this way, he can take the lead in arresting so many stars and such high-standard performances, and there will definitely be many provincial, municipal and even central-level media to report on it. This is a great political achievement!
So he just changed his mind and immediately ordered his intentions.
But Li Anran's answer next made him feel unhappy.
"This... Minister Hou, although cultural going to the countryside involves a propaganda department, it is a branch activity for the improvement of spiritual civilization construction. This work now has a special leadership group in the county. The leader is our Secretary Li, and Chu County is the executive. Basically, he is responsible for these tasks himself. If the scale of the event is to be expanded, it must be approved by his consent." Li Anran explained, and at the same time he disagrees with Minister Hou's behavior of rushing for merit.
"Oh, this matter is simple. Please communicate with Chu County. Expanding the activity will be a good thing for Zhong County. This matter was done by you. When the superiors praise it, they will definitely focus on you. We should focus on the overall situation. In this kind of spiritual civilization construction activity, our propaganda department must play an exemplary role. Okay, this matter is decided, I'll wait for your news!" On the phone, Minister Hou gave Li Anran a big hat, and then hung up the phone without saying a word.
"This... what's going on!" Li Anran shook his head helplessly as he heard the blind voice coming from the other end of the phone.
Of course he knew that Minister Hou wanted to compete for merit, but he didn't care at all, as if it was really inappropriate. After all, the city was their superior unit. After the order from the top leader came down, he had to take action no matter what.
Therefore, even if the boss was reluctant, Li Anran had to go to Chu County to report on the matter.
He could almost foresee that Chu County would definitely ignore it after hearing this. He could not even ignore the resolutions of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. What's more, the personal suggestions of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Minister?
Minister Hou clearly wanted to pick peaches, but he didn't think about how much money it would cost to invite so many first-tier stars? What's more important is not only the money issue, but many of the people here are domestic superstars. They can't even hire money! Although Chu County didn't say it, he was almost certain that Chu County must have spent a lot of effort to invite them. Now you want to take away the credit with just one word. How can there be such a good thing? Is Chu County so easy to meet?
After more than ten minutes of sighing in his office, Li Anran went downstairs and walked towards the government office building on one side.
When he got there, he realized that Chu County was not in the office today, so he called his secretary Xu Lili. He was told that Chu County was participating in the rehearsal and review of the cultural countryside program and was in Donglin Industrial Park. He hung up the phone, had a ideological struggle, and called the driver and drove towards Donglin Industrial Park.
Donglin Industrial Park has now developed into a small city. It is far away from Zhongxian, which is more than ten kilometers away. Although it is just a district in name, it has left the old county town far behind in terms of prosperity and other aspects. Now, Zhongxian has a strange phenomenon: many public officials working in the city try every means to transfer to Donglin Industrial Park to work, or even to transfer to the level. You must know that in terms of administrative subordinates, Donglin Industrial Park is just an economic development zone under Zhongxian, and is on the same level as towns, but it is only half a square in the administrative level. From Zhongxian to here, it belongs to "going to the grassroots level". Generally, it is necessary to raise one and a half level, but even if it is a level of transfer, many people want to rush to come.
Nothing else, just for the living conditions here, it is worth coming!
Unlike the backward planning of the old county town in Zhongxian, the planning of Donglin Industrial Park is very advanced and full of technology. The eight crisscrossing main roads that run through the park all adopt the super high standards of twelve lanes in both directions. The education, health, medical care, leisure and entertainment and other places in the park are all comparable to the standards of first-tier metropolitan cities. There are three five-star hotels under construction alone! Not to mention the world's chain supermarkets and business names... It can be said that the developing Donglin Industrial Park is as prosperous as that of the special economic zones in China. When I came here, I almost mistakenly thought that I had come to those super metropolises in the south!
What’s even more rare is that the prices here are particularly low, even lower than those in Zhongxian County. At the same time, the services and product quality provided by merchants are very high. All of this is due to the strong management of Donglin Industrial Park. Once the merchants operate here have acts such as price gouging, counterfeiting, and fraudulent consumers, they will be directly driven away without warning!
Such severe measures have quickly eliminated the merchants who came with bad intentions from the beginning, and the rest are all high-quality merchants. Even with the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, these merchants can still gain several times more profits here than others. Because the purchasing power of consumers here is really strong! As long as your things are really good, these people generally don’t care about the price! Those top international luxury brands, such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rolex... are here every day
The sales volume is comparable to that of first-tier cities! The rent, water, electricity, and labor costs here are less than one-quarter or even one-fifth of that there! Such a business environment is simply a super gold mine for them, so these merchants are very consciously operating law-abiding, and even often hold some super-powerful discount activities to attract more popularity. The discount is so low that it even attracts many Yanjing people to come here to "shop". Some even say that this is the "Little Xiangjiang" in northern China, which is another shopping paradise!
Looking at the streets, most of the cars running are luxury cars worth hundreds of millions. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, the three luxury car brands in the hearts of Chinese people have become commonplace here. Porsche, Land Rover, Ferrari and other real "noble" cars are often visible on the streets. In the southeast of Donglin Industrial Zone, a sales area specially set up for automobile sales companies, dozens of top domestic and foreign brands of car sales 4S stores are gathered!
In the central area of Donglin Industrial Zone, a building with distinct artistic characteristics stands. The main body is pure white, integrating cultural elements from the East and the West, and looks exquisite and atmospheric. This is the newly completed Donglin Cultural Palace, which has a theater, a cinema, a leisure shopping street and other facilities. It is a large urban complex with the Cultural Palace as the carrier.
On the second floor of the Cultural Palace, it is a grand theater of thousands of square meters. It uses internationally advanced acoustic decoration technology and can undertake large-scale performances of tens of thousands of people. It has just been built and put into use for less than a month. Today, it welcomes its first group of "guests".
In the theater that can accommodate nearly 10,000 audiences, there were 40 or 50 people sitting in front of the stage. On the top of the stage, Chu Yang was sitting leisurely on the piano bench. His voice could easily reach everyone below through the microphone hidden in the piano body.
Naying took her performance team and more than 30 top stars in the industry, sitting quietly on the chair, listening to the "speaking" of the little man in front of her. She became very familiar with this little man as early as the "Voice of China" competition. But the more familiar Naying is with her, the more she feels like a fan, and there are always many secrets waiting for her to discover.
This time, when she came to participate in this cultural and rural event in Zhongxian, she didn’t care the most about publicity, income, and so on. What she cared about the most was Chu Yang’s guidance. In this man who was over 20 years younger than her, Na Ying could always find something she could not understand about music before!
Tao Liping and a deputy director also sat with these celebrities. She was still a little uneasy. Although she knew that this was her home court, she felt like she was in a strange place when she sat here!
The aura of these celebrities is really too great. Looking at them and looking at the "actors" sitting beside them, Tao Liping felt that this was simply torture.
She really wanted to "send back" all the actors she found. She understood when she saw this formation. The people she found with great effort had no room to play. Can you imagine that? Let an amateur cultural enthusiast in a small county perform on the same stage with the big stars in China? Even if they have no objection, they should not go on stage with a shame. Isn't that embarrassing?
Looking at the actors sitting behind her, they all did not have such awareness, but were very excited. They are still immersed in the excitement of seeing stars, and these issues were not considered by them. In their opinion, it doesn’t matter whether they perform or not. It would be good to be able to stay with these big stars for a while. If they could see their "rehearsal", it would be even more worth it!
Tao Liping didn't think so. She just wanted these people to part early and do whatever she should do. She realized that this time, she just wanted to go to the countryside to outsource the culture, and she didn't need to worry about it. She just needed to contact them with the venue and give them the performance fee. Speaking of the performance fee, Tao Liping looked at these people and felt guilty.
Sixty million is a lot, but if you invite these people...
This is not a performance, it is culture going to the countryside. There are more than a dozen towns in the county. Even if there is one in each town, it will be more than a dozen. Even if these people sing a song, they will have to be one hundred and eight hundred thousand...
Tao Liping has never been exposed to such a high-end performance, and she has no idea at all now.
But County Magistrate Chu didn't give her any tips. When she arrived at the cultural center, she just stayed in the rehearsal hall for a while, and Chu County suggested that the conditions here were too simple and she had to rehearse in another place. As a result, she brought them here.
Of course, Tao Liping also knew that the conditions here were good. The newly completed Donglin Cultural Palace was designed according to the standards of the National Grand Theater. How could it be bad? However, it was just completed, and even the leaders of the Donglin Industrial Park said that if it is open or not, it must ask Chu County for instructions when it will be opened, and only after obtaining his approval!
But now that she really came here, she felt even more relieved.
The conditions here are good, not only good, but they are simply top-notch!
But Tao Liping felt that everything here had nothing to do with her.
With such a stage and such a lineup, what can I do?
Tao Liping looked at Chu Yang on the stage. The young leader was sitting casually on the piano bench. Somehow, Tao Liping felt that this was the most suitable place for him. Although he was still in a somewhat stereotyped work outfit - black pants and white half-sleeved, while sitting there, his temperament completely changed. It was as if he was here, the center of the entire stage!
Looking at him, Tao Liping's eyes were dazed, and she suddenly felt that he was not the county magistrate, but a piano master. And now she had such an impulse, wanting to shout at him: Let's have a song!
Fortunately, Chu Yang did not give her this opportunity because he stood up from the piano.
"Tell me something to everyone." Chu Yang's voice was faint, with a calm force. Although it was not high, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
"This time I called everyone to participate in this cultural and rural activity in Zhongxian. On the one hand, it is a kind of exercise for everyone, a kind of down-to-earth, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of promotion and improvement of the cultural life in Zhongxian. I hope everyone will seize this opportunity and strive to get training in this activity and make new progress in their musical cultivation."
Chu Yang said this and paused: "I will participate in the whole program rehearsal of this program and guide everyone at the same time!"
As soon as he said this, the people in the audience immediately responded inconsistently!
Naying looked excited, but she really knew this guy’s musical cultivation!
And the other actors don’t think so. They know that this person is their boss, but in terms of professionalism, they are all kings and elites in their respective fields!
Guid them?
They haven't heard such words in a long time!
Chapter completed!
