Chapter 2496
The Party is a Success
The studio on Fuxing Road has a lobby of about 600 square meters.
He Yuzhu bowed and shook hands with everyone as they walked to the second row.
He glanced around, and when he saw someone he knew, he simply nodded and greeted them.
Naturally, a group of people also came over to shake hands and greet He Yuzhu.
He never imagined that one day he would be sitting on the set of the Spring Festival Gala recording.
Of course, this is not the Spring Festival Gala, but a gala specially organized by the organizing committee for the Asian Games.
The city government leaders and a group of business associates from Hong Kong Island were naturally seated at the front row of round tables.
That is, Lou Xiao'e's family will all be sitting in the first row later.
He Yuzhu casually scooped a handful of sunflower seeds from the plate on the table.
Sunflower seeds, peanuts, milk candy, and tea—this is for entertaining guests later.
These days, parties are as natural as variety shows.
The food is placed on top.
They ate while watching the show, occasionally engaging in small interactions.
The point is to have a joyful gathering together.
When the venue was full, He Xinghua, dressed in a suit, sat at the front.
It felt like there were nails stuck in my buttocks.
He kept turning his head back, and when he saw He Yuzhu, he would quickly turn his head away, not daring to greet his own father in this situation.
He Yuzhu cracked sunflower seeds, and when his hand was full of shells, he casually stuffed them into the pocket of Zhang Chaoyang, who was sitting next to him.
Director Fang and several other leaders sat in the front with the municipal government leaders.
He Yuzhu was the oldest at this table.
Therefore, one can do whatever one pleases.
The backdrop on the stage was quite beautiful.
In the very center is a red letter 'A' formed by the silhouette of the Great Wall, topped by a large sun.
A is an abbreviation for 'ASIAN', meaning Asia.
The sun is the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia.
Below the design, there are also English letters and the image of the mascot.
The mascots were also something He Yuzhu had put together in advance.
Since the goal is to create a significant impact and attract more sponsorships, some things must be arranged in advance.
There were also various small signs on the stage on both sides and one side.
That's an advertisement that's already been finalized.
For example, Lucky Instant Noodles, Panpan Doors, and so on.
Some factories simply displayed banners with messages such as "This factory wishes the Asian Games a successful opening and the motherland prosperity and strength."
There was no electronic screen, but the production team came up with a makeshift solution.
All those banners were strung together.
There was a hand-cranked wheel on each side, and it was turned every now and then.
Let each of the organizations that donated money take turns showing their faces.
There were also large color TVs donated by the Sijiucheng TV Factory, which formed a TV wall on one side.
Although we lack the advanced equipment of later generations, as long as we have a brain, we can always find a way.
It can promote those organizations without overshadowing them.
The theme remains celebrating the nation and warming up for the Asian Games.
First, the leader went up to give a speech. He Yuzhu was drowsy listening to the speech below, but he still whispered to Zhang Chaoyang next to him, "Tell the TV station to let them broadcast this part ahead of schedule."
Don't include it in our party.
Who among the average viewer wants to listen to their nonsense?
When it's time to get down to business, you can't find anyone.
They came out when we were just talking nonsense.
This is neither the opening ceremony nor the closing ceremony.
Moreover, this kind of party has never been held before.
So, although the leaders who came were of high rank, they weren't particularly important. Even Comrade Lao Fang, as the director of the organizing committee, went up and said a few words.
However, he probably sneezed, because he only spoke for two minutes before announcing the start of the show.
Otherwise, He Yuzhu would definitely have complained again.
Although the program was planned in advance, there were also some improvisational elements.
The language-based and acrobatic shows, in particular, are quite interesting.
Watching the several crosstalk masters casually turn the Asian Games into short jokes, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh heartily and applaud enthusiastically.
Of course, the climax of the gala was in the middle.
When singer Zhang, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, sang "My Chinese Heart," the entire audience was moved to tears.
The host, feigning a flustered demeanor, took a slip of paper from the organizing committee and then excitedly announced, "Ms. Lou and Mr. He from the Hong Kong Island Ho Group, on behalf of Ho Tai Kitchenware, are donating ten million to the Asian Games Organizing Committee."
HUO Real Estate Co., Ltd. donated 10 million yuan to the Asian Games Organizing Committee.
····”
Next, naturally, came an interview, during which Lou Xiao'e and the others excitedly said a few words.
He Yuzhu may not know much else, but he does know that the publicity effect is definitely top-notch.
However, towards the end of the performance, when a classical dance appeared, He Yuzhu's eyes widened in surprise.
Damn, why is He An performing?
Who were those dancers who were her backup dancers?
Daiyu, Baochai, Fengjie, Xichun...
I don't know if these people's roles have been finalized, but once they put on those ancient costumes and makeup, He Yuzhu recognized them all.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but glare at Zhang Chaoyang.
Zhang Chaoyang shrank his neck and leaned back, as if afraid that He Yuzhu was going to beat him up.
In this situation, He Yuzhu would definitely not make a move.
Besides, He An simply changed into a lady's dress from Dream of the Red Chamber; he didn't perform any explicit actions.
In this situation, it's impossible to be explicit.
Seeing that He Yuzhu was waiting for his explanation, Zhang Chaoyang could only nervously lean close to He Yuzhu's ear and say, "An'an said she wanted to come and contribute to the Asian Games."
As her older brother, I felt awkward refusing her.
"I'll settle the score with you after the show," He Yuzhu threatened through gritted teeth.
"Uncle, I have things to do after the show."
"We need to pay those performers their wages." Zhang Chaoyang wasn't actually that afraid of He Yuzhu, but he still pretended to be an honest kid.
"Hmph, you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."
If I can't find you, I'll go find your parents.
····
Quite successful.
The pre-recorded gala was broadcast three days before National Day.
Then, the organizing committee's advertising and sales department was bombarded with calls.
It's quite normal; the dozen or so signs that appeared that evening, regardless of whether ordinary people would actually see them in real life.
But anyone who has watched it on TV will eventually spread the word.
Lucky Instant Noodles' orders are booked until June of next year.
Production is limited.
After the recent promotion, there wasn't much stock left.
This time it's like cooking oil over a raging fire.
Of course, this factory isn't the most popular.
The most popular item is the PP electronic watch that chimes on the hour.
After this wave of promotion, it has become the number one watch brand among young people.
Xu Damao, who specializes in wholesale electronic watches, has lost his voice recently.
This guy made a fortune.
Even though Ho Tai kitchenware is not available in mainland China, it has become a national brand in the eyes of children.
People these days are just so simple and unpretentious. (End of Chapter)
