In the room.
Dong Xuebing hung up.
Dong Xuebing put down his phone and picked up a pen. He wrote a few words in his notebook. Foreign celebrities. Unknown number. Settled.
Who should I call next?
I will ask Xie Lan.
Dong Xuebing called his wife. "Xie Lan, what are you doing?"
The line got through, and Xie Huilan smiled. "I had just reached home and was about to have lunch."
"Heh, why are you in such a good mood today? Why are you smiling? Did you meet something good? "Dong Xuebing asked.
"Haha, our son is kissing your Sister Xie in my arms. Listen." A child's voice came from the other end.
Dong Xuebing's heart melted when he heard this. "Bring the phone closer and let me hear it. Yes … heh … my son's voice is so good, and he will surely have a good voice in the future. He will be a celebrity." Dong Xuebing's mind is filled with celebrities now.
"What celebrity?" Xie Huilan replied. "He will be our next eldest, and he is a boy. He will surely enter politics. Stop telling him useless things." Dong Xuebing sighed.
"I know. I was just joking. Oh, I need your help. We will be holding a dinner for the Business Fair next month. You have lots of friends in Beijing. Can you help me get a few celebrities to attend? They must be at least C-listers and popular."
"Other than business fair, you don't know anything else?" Xie Huilan asked.
"I have changed my tactics. I will use culture as a stage." Dong Xuebing replied.
Xie Huilan is talking to Dong Xuebing while playing with her son. "It's not as easy as you think. How much is the appearance fee?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I will not contact you if I have the money. But the County does not have the money, and they did not give me the appearance fee. They are only providing food and lodging."
Xie Huilan asked. "Haha … who will be going?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "That's why I need your help."
"Don't try to fool me. I am not that influential." Xie Huilan paused for a while and continued. "I know some famous people. For example, Uncle Zhao's youngest son is dating a celebrity. Uncle Li's family is also doing well in the entertainment industry. But your County does not give me a single cent as an appearance fee. How am I going to contact you? Let them go for free? I can speak for them, and they will definitely give me face. However, I will owe them a favor. Favors in the system are more complicated, and it's better not to owe them anything. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Just help me contact them."
Xie Huilan paused for a second. "Are you sure it is worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it. If this matter is done well, I will have a chance to be promoted to a deputy office in a few months. Otherwise, the hope is not big. Do you think it is worth it?" Although Dong Xuebing did not reveal the details, he does not want to hide it from his wife.
But Xie Huilan asked. "Xuebing," Huilan, Xuebing 'Lan, "Xuebing," Xuebing said. "Deputy"? "You are are? Xuebing? "How long ago? Dong? How long? "County, Xuebing Up, Up, Xuebing is with Up." Dong.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Just help me contact them. I have my own plans, and you will know in a few months."
For some reason, the child started to cry.
Xie Huilan immediately said. "Alright. I will give it a try, and I shall not talk to you anymore. My son is peeing, and I will change his diaper. Bye."
Beep beep.
The line went dead.
Dong Xuebing did not put down his phone and immediately called Ci Lifen, who is in charge of the merged State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
"Second Aunt." Dong Xuebing replied.
Ci Lifen smiled. "Xiao Bing."
"Have you eaten?" Dong Xuebing asked politely.
"I'm eating. What's wrong? Why are you looking for Second Aunt? " Ci Lifen knew Dong Xuebing doesn't need to listen to her. It's not that he doesn't miss his family and relatives. It's because he is too busy working in the government. This is unavoidable. Since he had chosen this path, he must pay the price.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Then you should eat first. We will talk after you finish eating."
"I'm almost done. Just tell me." Ci Lifen replied.
Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while and said. "Our County will be organizing an entertainment gala to attract investors. You know a lot of people in this industry. Can you help us find some famous people? Err … it's best if they have some fame. Err … our county does not have many appearance fees, and … we don't have any. Hmmm … if it's too troublesome, I know it's not easy. "
Ci Lifen asked. "When is it held?"
"Early next month, on the 3rd and 4th." Dong Xuebing replied.
Ci Lifen paused for a while. "Alright. I will help you keep an eye out. I will let my subordinates know. Second Aunt's job is not this, but she has many opportunities to interact with those entertainment companies. It's fine if they don't want to pay. Just treat it as a charity performance. Hmmm … I will help you ask around. It shouldn't be a problem." Ci Lifen's unit was the superior department of these media and entertainment companies. She had the authority to approve. Ci Lifen was also the leader of the unit. She looked like the second or third in command. She would definitely be useful for this kind of thing. As long as Ci Lifen gave the word, those companies would definitely give her a lot of face.
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Dong Xuebing quickly thanked her.
Ci Lifen replied. "You don't need to thank me. It's not a big deal. But you have just been appointed, and you want to organize an entertainment gala? Do you have any experience in organizing a gala? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "No."
"Have your County organized one before? Do you have any experience in this field? "Ci Lifen asked.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Our County doesn't have much experience in organizing a gala. At most … errr … at most, it's a Lunar New Year Gala."
Ci Lifen laughed. "What kind of gala is that? You are so daring to organize a gala without any experience? Do you think it's so simple? You have never thought about which program to perform first, which program to perform second, and which program to perform last. What about the director? I don't think the director can do it. "
Dong Xuebing replied confidently. "Why do you need a director? We just need to make do with the design, and it's not that grand. Also … we don't have money."
Ci Lifen said, "If that's the case, your gala will definitely be greatly discounted. Who knows, it might end up being messy and scattered in the end. Instead, it will be an arduous and unrewarding task. A gala is a gala. What you want is an atmosphere and effect. What you want is to give the audience a visual and psychological impact and enjoyment. Everything has to be done in one go. There are many elements that you can't avoid even if you want to. Do you think that by bringing in a few big-name celebrities, you can make the gala a good one? This is not a concert. No. A gala is a show, and it's not a few celebrities' fame. Do you understand? "
Dong Xuebing does not have any experience in this field, but he knows his Second Aunt is right. After all, his Second Aunt had been in this industry for many years, and she is an authority. "I will listen to you."
Ci Lifen continued. "This should be very important to you. Am I right? If not, you will not ask your Second Aunt to help you. You never ask others for help unless it's something important. "
Dong Xuebing smiled and thought to himself that his Second Aunt knows him very well.
Ci Lifen said, "Since it's so important, then either we don't do it, or we do it beautifully. How about this, I also know a few people. When the time comes, I'll find a director for you and get him to help you with the planning. You can just leave this part to them. Do you have all the people in place?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I should be able to get a few foreign celebrities, and Huilan can also get a few from China."
Ci Lifen continued. "I will get more people for you, but it's not enough. There are too few people, and there are no group performances."
Dong Xuebing scratched his head. "Do you know any groups?"
"I deal with entertainment companies." Ci Lifen replied.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Then there's nothing I can do. I also don't know anyone in this industry."
Ci Lifen laughed. "You don't know anyone, but your Second Uncle knows. Although he is transferred to the General Staff Department, he had worked in the General Political Department for many years."
Dong Xuebing got a shock. "Ah? You are talking about the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe? " How can Dong Xuebing not know about this famous Song and Dance Troupe? But he had never thought of joining them because they are too influential. "Second Aunt, this … will this do? Don't they perform for the military? Isn't it a little … "
Ci Lifen replied. "Not necessarily. The General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe is also involved in some large-scale galas in China. To put it bluntly, they are performing for the people. Also, they are getting paid and not doing it for money. So, you don't need the County to fork out the money. Ask your Second Uncle to speak to them, and it should not be a problem. Of course, it is also impossible for you to gather a full set of performances for the Song and Dance Troupe. They also have many performances. At most, you can find some dancers from the chorus and dance teams to support you for a few performances. "
Dong Xuebing replied excitedly. "Let's not talk about a few performances. One performance is enough. The General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe is a big deal."
Ci Lifen laughed. "Ok. Your Second Uncle is having lunch now. I will speak to him later."
Dong Xuebing quickly thanked her. This had exceeded his expectations. If he can invite the famous General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, it will surely cause a stir. If this Gala is not a success, what else can be a success?
After hanging up.
Dong Xuebing wrote down a few words in his notebook.
Domestic celebrities. Number of people. Settled.
Art group performances. Number of people. Settled.
Dong Xuebing put down his pen and snapped his fingers excitedly. He can't wait to see the results of this Gala!
