1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 63 Leadership Arrangements
Four p.m.

After everyone had finished preparing the accompaniment, they were worried that there might be problems, so they burned two more tapes as backup. Editor-in-Chief Yang and Cheng Kaiyan took one with them when they left.

As soon as they returned to the company, the two walked into the door of the president's office. At this time, Leader Wang was in the office.

"Leader, the accompaniment has been recorded."

"Really? Bring it here and let me see it."

Leader Wang himself came from the cultural department and was very concerned about the editorial department. He would come to work every week and was quite interested in their recording of songs. So when he heard the two say that the accompaniment had been recorded, he immediately asked his secretary Xiao Ma to find a tape recorder.

With a click of the machine, the gears rotated to drive the tape to move, and soon, the bright sound of the guitar accompanied by a burst of dense drum beats came out from the speaker.

"not bad!"

After listening to it, Leader Wang's eyes lit up. He had thought it was a half-finished product and not very good, but unexpectedly it was surprisingly good. After the entire recording is completed, it will definitely not be too bad.

"Leader, can we borrow a singer from Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater to sing Xiaofang? What do you think?"

Editor-in-Chief Yang stepped forward and suggested that as the editor-in-chief, he would naturally have a closer relationship with the president.

If Cheng Kaiyan were to make this request, it might not necessarily be fulfilled.

But of course we couldn't just say it in front of the leader, we had already chosen a female comrade to sing, so we had to go around it.

They said they would choose one from Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater, but in fact, they would give priority to Cheng Kaiyan's partner.

Yang Shuan and Cheng Kaiyan agreed that as long as Cheng Kaiyan's partner was not too bad, she would be given priority.

But we can't just choose her. We have to consider other people in the theater as backup options.

This also prevents people from thinking there is some shady deal. If Liu Xiaoli were directly transferred away on loan, people would see at a glance that it was an internal appointment.

Speaking of Cheng Kaiyan's partner, Yang Shuan was also convinced.

A few days ago, he heard from Editor Chen in the editorial department that the reason why Cheng Kaiyan chose to submit her manuscript to Fangcao Magazine and rejected People's Literature was actually because Cheng Kaiyan's boyfriend worked at Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater.

It seems that they benefited from the help of Comrade Liu Xiaoli.

It's really laughable, but because of this, Editor-in-Chief Yang also agreed to let her sing this song.

"No problem, I'll let Xiao Ma go with you. Besides, now that we have the accompaniment, we can sing this song, right? You guys should work hard. I think this song "Xiao Fang" is very good. The city will hold a cultural performance on the evening of the 5th. You can go on stage and sing it so that the leaders can listen."

Leader Wang thought about it and made arrangements with a smile.

"That's great! There will be a cultural performance in the city, and people from the TV station will come! By then, the novel might become famous before it's even published!"

Cheng Kaiyan looked at Leader Wang in surprise. She didn't expect that he was so smart.
"That makes sense, boss! Let's keep up the good work and get it done before the 5th!"

Yang Shuan became excited. He had already seen that their fragrant grass was selling like hot cakes throughout the province.

However, after being baptized by the sales news of domestic magazines in recent days, Editor-in-Chief Yang no longer has the idea of ​​catching up with major publications such as "People's Literature". After all, their monthly circulation is as high as one million.

Since the revision of their Fangcao, the circulation has dropped from the peak of over 400,000 in the Jiangcheng Literature and Art era to the current over 100,000.

There is no comparison at all!
Cheng Kaiyan's "Fragrant Grass" brought the sales back to 200,000, and Editor-in-Chief Yang was very satisfied.

As for the sky that was broken by scar literature?

As time went by, he no longer dared to think about it. Novelty means not meeting the needs of the general public and might even be unpopular.

After receiving the reply from Leader Wang, the two left the office.

"Squeak~"

In the editorial compound, birds were chirping in the trees.

With the arrival of the Spring Festival, winter gradually passed.

That is, it will be a little colder in the morning and evening, and even a little hot under the sun at noon.

Editor-in-Chief Yang glanced at the sky and saw that it was time for dinner, so he took Cheng Kaiyan to a restaurant.

The two were happy and drank some rice wine, getting a little tipsy. They went to bed as soon as they got home.

next morning.

Cheng Kaiyan went to Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater with Editor-in-Chief Yang and Professor Tong. Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater is located near Jiefang Park, with fresh air and a quiet green scenery.

The three met Vice President Fan Ji'an in the president's office.

An old man in his sixties, wearing a white training suit and with a bald head.

The three handed over the note from Leader Wang, and Chief Editor Yang explained the purpose of their visit:

"It's like this, Dean Fan. We plan to select a female comrade from your theater to assist in recording the song. In addition, Leader Wang will arrange for this song to be performed at the cultural performance in City No. 5. It will also be broadcast on major radio stations in Jiangcheng later. So the time is tight and the task is heavy..."

"I see... We have to finish recording before the 5th. We also have to perform on stage, so the time is quite tight." After understanding the purpose of the visit, Dean Fan stroked his beard and asked, "What are your requirements? Are you looking for a singer?"

"She has to have a good voice and a good image, and she has to fit the image of the heroine described in our song. She has to be in her early twenties. I think there's no need to go to great lengths to find one. Just look for her in your dance troupe, so you don't get dazzled by the selection and it will save you some time. After all, we're very pressed for time right now."

Editor-in-Chief Yang glanced at Cheng Kaiyan and said calmly.

Cheng Kaiyan on the side couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. After all, he was an old hand, and his words were flawless without blushing.

Professor Tong didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Who doesn't support their own people? After all, the song was written by Xiao Cheng, the music was also composed by him, and even the purpose of recording the song was to promote his novel.

What's wrong with Xiao Cheng wanting his partner to sing the song he wrote?

Dean Fan felt it was a little strange, but didn't think much about it. He knew the leader, Yang Shuan, the deputy editor-in-chief of Fangcao next door.

Besides, this is a performance on stage, so not only do you need to be able to sing, but you also need to have a good image.

"You three please wait here for a while. I will have someone notify the arrangements."

"Excuse me, Dean..."

After President Fan left.

"I won't go later. Teacher Yang and Professor Tong can go."

Cheng Kaiyan took a sip of tea and said a little embarrassedly.

"You should go and see your partner. Just wear a hat and don't show up. Don't worry. We are not doing anything secretive. We just give priority to your partner."

Professor Tong and Editor-in-Chief Yang smiled knowingly. This is the tacit understanding between men.

At the same time, I also felt deeply moved that Comrade Xiao Cheng is still a passionate person.

……

Dean Fan found teacher Jiang Ling from the dance troupe in the cafeteria, and Zhou Xiaomin happened to be there too.

"They want to choose a girl from our dance troupe to record a song? What kind of song can a girl from our troupe sing? Is this a scam?"

After hearing Dean Fan's notice, Teacher Jiang Ling put down her chopsticks and couldn't help asking with an expression that said, "Dean, you are talking nonsense, right?"

This is too ridiculous!
Although girls like singing and dancing nowadays, isn't it too trifling to ask them to sing while dancing for something that sounds so high-end?

Aren’t you afraid of messing up?

"Dean, where did you get this information so early in the morning? How come I don't know about it?"

Zhou Xiaomin was also a little curious. They were the ones who were most informed about logistics information, and she was usually one of the first ones to know about such things.

"I just found out about it. I got a note from Mr. Wang, the city leader," Dean Fan explained.

Leader Wang?
Zhou Xiaomin's eyelids twitched. This was a senior leader in charge of literature and art in Jiangcheng. It was also a note written by him personally, so one could imagine how important it was.

"The leadership has arranged for the songs we recorded this time to be performed on the fifth day of the Spring Festival Gala. They will also be played on all the major radio stations in Jiangcheng. Just think about the importance of this."

"Hiss... Dean, let's go inform them right away!"

Zhou Xiaomin and the other man were shocked. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, so they hurriedly spoke.
