Tomorrow is January 1, 954.
In the warden's office of Zhenjiang Province No. 1 Prison, Lu Ming met Chen Jingyuan.
Including Chen Jingyuan, more than 70 people will be tried by the special court. Among them are not only core officers of the rebel army, but also officials who actively work for the puppet regime. The day before yesterday, the prosecutor took away Chen Zhengji and listed him as one of the defendants.
Chen Jingyuan had repeatedly asked the prison authorities to meet General Lu from Montenegro. This morning, Lu Ming had some time, so he went to the TV station building and came to the First Prison.
Political prisoners were given some preferential treatment. In order to meet General Lu of Heishan, the warden brought Chen Jingyuan to his office and then left.
Chen Jingyuan was in his fifties, with gray hair and an unkempt beard, looking a little haggard.
"General Lu, is there any possibility of pardoning me?" Chen Jingyuan asked, and then said: "I have some secret deposits in the East China Sea, which are not in my name. I am willing to take them out to reduce my guilt."
Lu Ming glanced at him and said, "I came here just because I thought that tomorrow is New Year's Day. If you have any wishes, I will try my best to help you with them if I can!"
A hint of disappointment appeared on Chen Jingyuan's face.
"Your brother Chen Jing'er has always been against your military coup and even died for it, right? I thought you would plead for him!" Lu Ming shook his head and stood up, "Okay, I'm leaving!"
Chen Jingyuan is so greedy that he is blinded by greed and is even able to act as the ruler of an entire province. It can only be said that the current empire is in chaos.
After coming out of the First Prison, Lu Ming's motorcade drove straight to the TV building. Today, it has been acquired by Kunlun TV and turned into the Zhenjiang branch of Kunlun Television Broadcasting Company.
This year, the studio for Kunlun TV's New Year's Eve Gala was chosen to be in Zhenjiang.
Kunlun TV has developed very quickly in the Central Plains area. For the New Year's Eve Gala, it also has two different systems: one set of programs for the Central Plains people and another set of programs for Westerners.
The New Year's Eve party in Zhenjiang Studio is mainly aimed at the people of Zhongzhou, including the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the Heishan Special Zone in the north, and Shengjing.
In the northern region, areas close to the Black Mountain Special Zone and areas several hundred kilometers around Shengjing can all receive signals from Kunlun Station.
Before the New Year this year, Lu Ming sent gift packages to rural residents in Zhenjiang Province.
There are more than 600 towns in Zhenjiang Province, and Lu Ming gave away a TV to each town.
The televisions were temporarily handed over to the town (village) office, but a dedicated projectionist was assigned to each television.
In this way, this year's New Year's Eve Gala, the villagers of Zhenjiang Province can go to the towns and villages to watch it if they want to.
In addition, Kunlun Radio’s broadcasts will also be broadcast simultaneously.
In fact, the so-called projectionist was almost Lu Ming’s propagandist in the township constituency after the New Year.
More than 600 televisions cost more than 200,000 yuan.
As for the people under the rule of Heishan, Lu Ming gave a TV set to every village. Not only the administrative villages, but also the natural villages with more than a dozen households each received one TV set. In total, that was nearly 10,000 sets.
However, administrative villages all have village offices, and natural villages have to decide among themselves which one to place it in, or do they have to take turns using it
There will definitely be disadvantages of having public televisions in natural villages, but at least everyone can have a good New Year first.
The gift package for the people of Montenegro cost more than three million yuan.
Lu Ming was thinking that after the New Year, he would go to Shengjing to replenish his energy.
Of course, giving away so many televisions will be of great benefit to the development of Kunlun TV. This is an economic benefit. Politically, the convenience it brings to one's own rule, including policy propaganda, ideological indoctrination, etc., is immeasurable. For oneself, it is a case of spending little money to accomplish great things.
…
VIP Lounge No. 1.
Hanzhu, Liuli and Jennifer were all there, each sitting in front of a dressing table, with Qing'e putting makeup on them.
Hanzhu and Liuli are both extremely traditional Zhongzhou skirts. Nowadays, they are considered formal dresses for Zhongzhou aristocrats. With flowing silk ribbons and beautiful buns tied high like clouds, the two beauties who look like imperial concubines each have their own noble style.
The two of them seemed like two different worlds, each at the coldest end of the spectrum.
The most pitiful one is Jennifer. Her closest sister Pamela is not around. She also knows that her two sisters Hanzhu and Liuli are her husband's real wives. He discusses many things with them, and she is just a child in his eyes.
So, she really wanted to talk to her two sisters, but she didn't know how to get close to them.
When she saw Lu Ming coming in, she felt like she had seen a savior. When she saw Lu Ming smiling at her, her heart immediately calmed down. She felt sweet and concentrated on letting Qing'e put on makeup for her.
Lu Ming sat in the lounge area. Following him in was a middle-aged man, tall and thin, wearing large black-framed round glasses, with messy hair, unkempt and rather sloppy appearance.
In fact, the man is of great importance. His name is Huo Yunting and he is a well-known director.
The three major directors of Nadu Pictures are Pierden, Lin Jingyin and Huo Yunting.
Pierden excels at whimsical science fiction films, Lin Jingyin excels at delicate art films, and Huo Yunting can do everything, but is best at films with large-scale scenes and gorgeous styles.
Now Huo Yunting has been specially hired as the chief director of Kunlun Taichung District New Year's Eve Gala.
In fact, in front of Lu Ming, these three directors are like disciples.
This is especially true for Huo Yunting.
Because Lu Ming met Pierden and Lin Jingyin when he just invested in Nadu Pictures. At that time, both of them had considerable fame, but one was out of date and the other was always well-received but not popular at the box office, and gradually they had no more movies to make. It was Lu Ming who gave their careers a second spring and brought them to a new level.
Huo Yunting was a truly unknown small director who was discovered by Lu Ming and has now become one of the super directors.
At this time, he stood respectfully in front of Lu Ming. Lu Ming waved his hand for him to sit down, and then he sat down carefully.
"Your overall idea is very good, just follow your idea. I have watched the rehearsal several times, so there is no need to worry about mistakes. You don't need to withdraw the difficult programs. It doesn't matter if you really make mistakes. It's the New Year, so let's make everyone laugh!"
Lu Ming's words made Huo Yunting feel a little relieved.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Lu Ming smiled again: "The stage here is simple, but you are creative and have made those lights look good. Under the lighting, it looks like a gorgeous big stage!"
Huo Yunting felt relieved, "I feel relieved if you don't criticize me."
As a director, I feel that the benefactor, teacher, confidant, and big boss behind the company I signed with is so magical and incredible.
Because if the mentor in front of me had always focused on developing in the film industry, what would be the place for other directors
However, such a talented screenwriter and director is also a legend in the legal community and once caused a hurricane in the East China Sea legal community.
But now, he has transformed himself into a powerful warlord in the Northern Territory.
Isn’t this kind of person too magical and incredible
However, there are some things that I still feel embarrassed to ask.
Huo Yunting hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher, during the party, when the camera is focused on your table, how should we focus on it? Should we focus on the big camera? Or..."
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "In the camera, let's highlight Hanzhu and me. Well, we'll be the Second Madam."
“Oh…” Huo Yunting glanced towards Hanzhu, then quickly looked away.
Holding the materials in his hand, he hesitated and asked again: "I saw that you greeted all the people at midnight. Did you say 'we' and 'madam'? Did you use 'we'?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Zero o'clock shot, give me and the ladies a full view, let's bow together and wish each other a happy new year."
Huo Yunting nodded, wanting to say something but not daring to.
Lu Ming smiled: "I know what you are thinking, but it doesn't matter. My private life has always been criticized. Besides, people will only be jealous of those whose lives are slightly better than their own. If the difference is a million miles, it is not jealousy, but worship and deification!"
Huo Yunting smiled bitterly. It was true. For example, when he saw these stunningly beautiful teachers' wives and thought about his mentor's life, he did not feel jealous or envious, but a kind of worship.
"Moreover, I believe that I can bring a better life to the people under my rule, and provide a power structure and laws and regulations to ensure a better life." At this point, Lu Ming's face turned serious. "I have a clear conscience and I don't care about rumors."
Huo Yunting's heart trembled, and he nodded and said, "Yes." He then said, "Then I will go and communicate with the wives of the masters and tell them what to pay attention to."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk."
…
Today, all kinds of stars gathered in the TV building, of course, mainly Central China stars.
From afar, Lu Ming also saw Park Soo-na surrounded by assistants. She was already one of the "Four Beauties" of Kunlun TV.
"Teacher!" Huo Yunting hurried into the corridor.
He looked embarrassed. “Third and Second Mistresses both said that there shouldn’t be words like Madam in the subtitles. You should say the New Year’s greetings yourself. If you are given camera time, it’s only for you… And they didn’t even ask me to discuss it with you…” When he said this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know if Liuli used some secret method to scare him.
Lu Ming shook his head helplessly. It was a tradition of the Liuli Palace and the Baozhu Palace that neither of them liked to show up in public. Accompanying him to the party was already the bottom line.
Liuli compromised because she wanted to celebrate the New Year together at midnight every year.
But to appear in front of millions of people is absolutely impossible.
Pamela is a different case. With her current status, gossip doesn't matter to her, but she can't be too blatant.
Now Bisi and I are waiting for us in the villa.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming nodded: "I'll think about it again."
