Can kidnapping or killing a few true kun really achieve the purpose of weakening the kun thieves and finally surrendering them? Zhuo Yifan couldn't help but have great doubts about the purpose of this trip.
He cast his eyes on the three True Kun elders and saw them strolling in the gymnasium surrounded by guards and secretaries, pointing and talking about something from time to time.
Although the venue was not cleared and the streets were cleared, it was obvious that there were already some unfamiliar naturalized people in the gymnasium, and they were separated by a certain distance between these elders.
"Xiao Fang," Wen Desi had just delivered a speech, full of leadership and excitement, "Your cultural festival this time is very grand!"
Fang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, after all, as President Wen said: we are rich now. Now that we have the conditions, how can we express the superiority under the Senate's rule if we don't show it off?"
Although this cultural festival is a matter of education, Fang Fei, as the director of the Mass Literature and Art Department, will not let go of such a large-scale event - this is the time to make achievements! As for the veterans of the education department, it is certainly a dream to have such a powerful director to take over the work. At least it will be much easier to use resources.
The other one is Zhang Zhixiang, the principal of Fangcaodi. This principal Zhang is a bit unhappy. His school management thinking is the "county model" and he is not interested in activities such as "school festivals". In his opinion, the only thing that students in Fangcaodi should do is study and read more books.
However, he also knew that he was living in the 17th century, and he wanted to ensure that the Senate would not change: these successors of the Senate masters must cultivate modern thinking patterns and cultural aesthetic tastes from an early age. Therefore, he has never objected to this activity, but he will silently calculate the loss of class hours every time, and will try his best to make up for it in future semesters.
The executive committee didn't know what the wind was blowing today, and suddenly they remembered the cultural festival. The general office called Fangcaodi and informed that President Wen was going to the site to check on the preparations. As the principal, Zhang Zhixiang could only come to accompany him.
"Principal Zhang, your school will have a performance this cultural festival, right? I heard there are a few new plays lined up?"
Zhang Zhixiang was not interested in the cultural festival and left it to Yuan Ziguang. When Mr. Wen asked about it, he said: "Yuan Ziguang is responsible for this matter. He should be here today." Then he called the secretary beside him: "Go and find Chief Yuan." Seeing that the female secretary was leaving. Added another sentence, "If there are other leaders here, please ask them to come too and say that President Wen is here."
The female secretary hurried over, and soon several elders were invited over.
When Wen Desi saw this lineup, weren't they the ones from the Plaid Skirt Club? This is probably another case of pretending to be for public benefit. Satisfy your own bad taste.
In Mr. Wen's opinion, there is no problem in satisfying one's own bad tastes: if one's own little hobby cannot satisfy him. If you come to time travel, you should learn from Lei Feng. The key is to be satisfied without causing resentment among the senators. Even though there are many curious people in the Senate, the string of "political correctness" is tighter than anywhere else.
One such thing as "political correctness" is stinginess. This habit left behind due to lack of material and manpower at the beginning of D-Day has subtly become a kind of unconscious obsessive-compulsive disorder of the group. Obviously, Hu Qingbai invited him to the stadium today to "take a look and make some comments." To put it bluntly, he was asking for resources and support in disguise.
"Lao Yuan, Mr. Wen would like to know about your preparations for rehearsing the new play at the cultural festival." Zhang Zhixiang said.
In fact, among the people who came here, Nobu Okamoto, the director of the Central Experimental Theater Company, was also among them. As far as artistic performances were concerned, he seemed to have more say. But Zhang Zhixiang turned a blind eye to him out of selfish motives and directly named Yuan Ziguang.
Yuan Ziguang's face was red and he looked very energetic. Hearing that Mr. Wen wanted to hear it, he spoke with enthusiasm: "This time our cultural festival is going to be held for three days, and the first day is a drama day. The performance is adapted from The play "The Test" by the Puppet Troupe; the second day is a short play performance. In addition to some repertoire of the cultural and publicity department, there are also new ones with a more lively form. In addition to short plays and living dramas, there are also folk arts and operas The last day is a party and a song and dance performance. This cultural festival is the first time for our Plaid Skirt Club and the Oriental Central Experimental Art Troupe to perform. Everyone is very motivated!"
Naturally, Nobu Okamoto, the deputy director of the Experimental Art Troupe, could not let him take up all the limelight, and quickly added: "This time, in addition to the new performance of "Test", our Central Experimental Art Troupe has also specially formed a small band to cultivate professional Musical talent, rehearsed some shows..."
Wen Desi smiled and nodded, thinking why the show hasn't come yet?
Yuan Ziguang continued: "Now we still have some difficulties that cannot be solved. In addition to our club, it also includes the experimental art troupe. I hope the executive committee can help solve it. I made a list..." As he said this, he took out the briefcase from his briefcase. Take out a page of paper.
Wen Desi took it and took a quick look: "They are all under first-level control, right? This large speaker, as well as audio cables, microphones, and colored light bulbs... I'm afraid it would be difficult to allocate them to you..."
Yuan Ziguang hurriedly said: "There is no need to transfer it, just borrow it for three days. The space here is too big, and there is not enough amplification equipment. I'm afraid it won't be possible to perform at all."
Wen Desi nodded and said: "It's okay if you just borrow it. I'll go back and talk to Lao Wu, and you guys will also make a report. As for these nylon socks..."
Seeing this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. Because this list also includes thirty-two pairs of nylon stockings, this kind of worthless little clothing has now become extremely scarce. Even if the female senators and some male senators hid a lot in their personal luggage, there is not much left now. Even stockings with snagging and holes are still worn by some people. Even if the nylon socks are completely damaged and can no longer be worn, the Planning Institute still requires the elders to hand them over as reserve materials - there is no guarantee that they will have any industrial use in the future, and the nylon technology tree is quite advanced.
The fact that there is still this crystallization of modern petrochemical industry in the warehouse of the Planning Institute is entirely due to Lando's contribution: part of the clothes that accompanied the ship out of the water. However, the quantity is very small, and it is only distributed once to all veterans, and each person is limited to purchasing one pair.
Wen Deji didn't care much about how many remaining nylon stockings there were, but he probably remembered that there wasn't enough for each elder to have one pair, so he kept them in the Planning Institute warehouse - because no matter how he distributed them, people would get ridiculed, so he just kept them. I plan to use it as a prize in the future.
This request is really embarrassing for Wen Desi at the moment: he knows that many senators want to buy nylon stockings for their maids, but they have been unable to do so. If he meets Yuan Ziguang's request now, it goes without saying that he will be sprayed to death.
Looking at Fang Fei again, he saw that he had a blank face and just smiled in apology. Wen Desi knew that he probably agreed to the application. After all, the cultural festival was his achievement, and these stockings would definitely add a lot of color to the performance.
"Can't we use self-produced products? Haven't we already had knitting machines? We have also made socks." The elders now wear knitted cotton socks. Apart from the texture being a bit rough, it wears well.
"We have tested and found that the material performance is not good. Whether it is cotton or silk, the elasticity is not as good as nylon. It does not have the same effect." Nobu Okamoto looked helpless. Since he became the leader of this group, he hasn't done much artistic work, but logistics has taken a lot of energy out of him. The biggest difficulty is the issue of clothing fabrics.
No matter how "ingenious" the craftsmanship of the past is touted by literary and artistic youths, at least in terms of fabrics, the level of color, pattern and texture of modern fiber-woven fabrics is beyond the reach of ancient textiles. Nylon stockings are just one of the difficulties. When making practice clothes and performance clothes for actors, even though the Planning Institute said that as long as they can find fabrics in this time and space, whether they are in stock in the warehouse or sold in the market, they can get them as long as they have demand. But Okamoto and Liu Shuixin have looked at almost all the potentially useful materials, and they are still unsatisfactory.
The best imperial gauze bought at a high price from Jiangnan still cannot produce a dance skirt as good as the cheap chemical fiber georgette.
Okamoto Shin recalled reading a memoir written by an old ballet dancer. He recalled that when the National Ballet of China was founded, everything was scarce. There were no stockings or dance clothes, and the quality of substitutes made of cotton and satin was very poor. , no effect is seen at all. Later, the problem was solved after Premier Zhou specially approved the imported fabrics.
Now their situation is even worse. At least they could still import from Hong Kong back then. Where can they find these things now?
Unfortunately, Nobu Okamoto is still a perfectionist. Every time he sees members of the troupe rehearsing in costumes made from substitutes, he feels tortured.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with Lao Wu. As you know, there are few things. You should still base yourself on the existing conditions." Wen Desi said, stuffing the catalog into his pocket and changing the topic, "This In addition to students, who else are we going to invite to the audience for this performance?"
Fang Fei said: "We will mainly invite activists among the naturalized people - those who have received awards from the Senate and the Central Government Affairs Council, as well as representatives from various industries, enterprises and administrative departments. We will also invite some indigenous activists, including more important business people. Friends. Because the stadium’s area is limited, everyone generally only has one ticket for one session. Try to ensure that as many people as possible can come to watch.”
"If you invite the indigenous people, you should pay more attention when arranging performances so as not to scare them." Wen Desi said, "For example, don't let Liu Dalin and the others go to the performance of your Plaid Skirt Club."
"Of course, our Plaid Skirt Club's performances are mainly for naturalized people. Even for indigenous people, they are young people who are easily influenced by new ideas." Yuan Ziguang said quickly. (To be continued.
