MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 914 The Spring Festival Gala in 1901 (Part 1)
On the thirty night of the New Year's Eve in 1901 AD, the traditional Chinese New Year is coming soon. At this time, China's major central and major government departments and some other public institutions, as well as various enterprises and various social groups, etc. also began to enjoy the holiday in large numbers. Except for the police and the army who are still working, most of the others are on holiday. Even though the army still has to serve, they all stopped training and each started some activities to spend this New Year's Eve together. But the police are obviously busier. After all, the crime rate is high during the Chinese New Year, and the police are the busiest. In this era, fireworks and firecrackers are not banned, so those various fire brigades are always on standby, and if there is a fire, they are ready to call the police at any time.
However, these are also the affairs of the grassroots. At present, Wang Guorui has brought senior officials and his royal concubine, etc., to prepare to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The preparations for this Spring Festival Gala started a month ago, and now they are also underway. Senior officials of the central government also came to prepare to watch, and some social representatives, etc., are also eligible to come and watch this so-called Spring Festival Gala. This Spring Festival Gala was thought up by Wang Guorui, so Wang Guorui felt satisfied.
"Tong Wei, the expected date of delivery is more than ten days away, right?" Wang Guorui asked.
Kang Tongwei looked at her big belly, nodded and said: "Well, after more than ten days, I will be able to give birth to a child. But, the emperor, do you like boys or girls?"
Wang Guorui replied: "Both men and women are the same, anyway, this will be the trend in the future!"
However, Kang Tongwei still said: "But it's better to have a boy!"
"For God's sake!" Wang Guorui also said, spreading his hands.
Since Kang Tongwei is also pregnant and has a big belly, Wang Guorui specially asked the designer to get a special seat for pregnant women, which is not bad anyway. And this time Wang Guorui's women were not missing, even those concubines from North Korea came, and everyone watched in this important box. Wang Guorui felt that he was surrounded by so many women, and he was also somewhat fanciful. Full of vanity. As a man, don't you just want to wake up and take over the power of the world, and lie drunk on the lap of a beauty? Now I can do it myself, and these more than twenty women are all here.
"It's a pity. Miss Duncan doesn't want to see me for the time being!" Wang Guorui said with a wry smile.
Zheng Hong said, "Since she doesn't want to come, then she shouldn't come."
Duncan is arguing with Wang Guorui because Wang Guorui declared war on the United States, so he doesn't want to come to see him. After all, Duncan is also an American, although China and the United States cannot fight a war. But it would be embarrassing if they met, so Duncan didn't come either.
Wang Guorui looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and all kinds of lights were ready. And this stage is open-air, not the kind that takes place inside the TV station's recording and broadcasting hall. Because it is not suitable to temporarily build a recording and broadcasting hall at this time, it is difficult to build a building in a month.
According to the design, this Spring Festival Gala will be held on a large scale, so the director team can't worry about preparing for it. According to Wang Guorui's opinion, the venue must be made large enough, and then the people can freely come and see it. Although their identities may not be able to get close to the inner layer to watch at a close distance, but at least let people stand and watch from a distance! And it's done in the open air. It also represents being close to the people and what they can enjoy. Although the vast majority of people may not be able to really look carefully, this also represents the government's responsible attitude. In many cases, the "attitude" of the government is far more important than the results, because if you don't even have an "attitude", how can you convince the people that your results are true? Even your attitude is perfunctory, how do you convince the people that this result is true? Maybe it was the real result, but because of your attitude, the people don't want to believe it, and they can't believe it.
Therefore, Wang Guorui asked to choose an open place that is suitable for the public, and at least let the people feel that the court is giving them a chance to value them. After all, it is taxpayer money. It is not suitable to enjoy directly alone! The necessary attitude is still there, so that everyone can feel more comfortable.
So those people racked their brains and finally came up with a solution. That is to put this stage performance in the Summer Palace, and perform on the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace. In this way, the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace is big enough, so that many people can take this opportunity to watch it by boat. Of course, I can't guarantee whether the effect will be good or not, but at least it guarantees that they have the opportunity to take a look, which represents a sincere attitude.
And several beauties around Wang Guorui, as well as his own children, including Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, also came. Princess Angelina of the Netherlands, born to herself and Wilhelmina, also came here. Fortunately, after being taught, Angelina has also learned more Chinese, which made Wang Guorui feel better. Otherwise, my daughter, the princess of China, can't even speak Chinese, so what's the matter?
With these dozens of Yingying and Yanyan around, it still feels very good. Wang Guorui and the royal family occupied a boat by themselves, so they did a good job on the stage. And in the distance, there are still many cameras preparing, so these cameras are also preparing to record here.
"Your Majesty, our director team is ready. We will conduct multi-angle and all-round video recording this time. After the show is over, we can edit it into a movie video tape, and then send it to all parts of the country to prepare for broadcast. Although At present, there are fewer movie theaters, but I think there will be more and more in the future, and the common people can see these videos at that time," said the director.
It was also Wang Guorui's request to videotape this Spring Festival Gala. Although it is impossible to do the so-called live broadcast in this era, Wang Guorui also requested the so-called video recording. These videos will be recorded in all directions and from multiple angles, and then edited when necessary, and finally compiled into a movie that can be distributed to movie theaters across the country for people all over the country to watch in movie theaters. Of course, there are few movie theaters at present, and the prices are high, so there are still a few people who can afford to watch movies.
However, there will be more and more movie theaters in the future, and the prices will be reduced. At that time, it can be considered to show it to the common people after many years. This can be regarded as another form of being responsible to the people. These broadcasted evening shows are organized by the people paying taxes. It is impossible for only a small number of bureaucrats and aristocrats in the capital to see it, at least for all the people. Have a chance to see. There is no live broadcast at present, that is to say, this kind of video grouping and editing is used to play in the form of a movie.
But maybe the common people want to see everyone, but ten years later it will be difficult. There are too few movie theaters and the prices are too expensive. These are absolutely important factors. But with a serious and responsible attitude, this video is still needed, so that future generations can recollect it later, so that future generations will not feel that it is extravagant and wasteful, and make those taxpayers feel that they have spent money and have not received what they deserve. treatment. And this is also a way to win the hearts of the people, to show that the government is serious and responsible, to express its importance to the rights of citizens and taxpayers, and to make them feel that every tax they pay is worthwhile, rather than "feeding dogs and pigs" up.
"Your Majesty, it's already eight o'clock in the evening, may I ask if it's started!" the director hurriedly asked.
"Here you are the director, you decide, and I will not interfere!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui should not intervene in this kind of matter. This is the responsibility of the director, not his own. Don't intervene casually, otherwise it will leave the impression that others will intervene in everything, and then intervene too much. This kind of Spring Festival Gala matter, let the director solve it by himself. If an emperor himself even intervenes in this kind of matter, then it must be too bad. It’s like the central leaders of later generations almost never personally asked about the Spring Festival Gala, and everything was mostly handled by their own TV stations~www.novelbuddy.com~ At what level and what kind of things, whether it is the army or the government, the most taboo thing is It is an easy leapfrog command.
It is a very big taboo to command by leapfrogging casually, especially for trivial matters. It would be too bad for an emperor himself to intervene in the arrangement of this kind of show. So let them all hurry up and take care of themselves, and Wang Guorui should not intervene too much in these trivial matters.
Of course, it may be a big deal for this director, because the director of the first Spring Festival Gala may be promoted and reused in the future. But for Wang Guorui, the emperor of the empire, it was just a "big thing", so he should not intervene, otherwise others would not dare to make up their minds to make decisions in the future, which would not be good for the national government.
So Wang Guorui didn't habitually say "agree", thinking that if you express "agree", even though it seems that he agreed on the surface, in fact he "intervened", so maybe many people will If you don't dare to do things with confidence, you have to ask for instructions. Therefore, when it is time to authorize, it is still necessary to authorize, so Wang Guorui did not say anything to agree, but respected the director and let him be responsible for his own affairs. As the emperor, Wang Guorui should not personally "approve" it. It will bring some unnecessary troubles in the future, and maybe it will make everyone get too involved in some "little things" that do not belong to their own level. (To be continued.)
