Chapter 1032 - Chapter 1032 Chapter 988 Hongjiang Promotional Video

Chapter 1032: Chapter 988: Hongjiang Promotional Video Chapter 1032: Chapter 988: Hongjiang Promotional Video “Hongjiang River, a land blessed with outstanding people and stunning landscapes; its mountains and waters are enchantingly beautiful!”

As the voice-over ended, the screen displayed the scenery of the Hongjiang River one by one. Teng Ge, Lu Mountain, and famous Taoist mountains all appeared. Everywhere you looked, there was a feeling of lush, dripping greenery.

Next, the scene changed, the view shifting from the ground to the sky, revealing the magical Danxia landforms, the ravines and remarkable peaks. They were extraordinarily precipitous.

The half-hour promotional film came to an end, followed by the lights coming up. In the front, Wei Lin, the Propaganda Minister and standing committee member of the Provincial Committee, had already stood up.

By Wei Lin’s side were Zhou Danian from the Red River Province Tourism Bureau, Huang Zhiyuan from the Hongjiang Province Commerce Department, and Liu Changlin, the head of the Hongjiang Province Broadcasting Authority, who also serves as the Party Secretary of Red River TV.

Behind these leaders were members of the Hongjiang Province Tourism Expo preparation team, the main backbone members from the aforementioned departments.

All eyes were on Wei Lin, and at that moment, Wei Lin also applauded and said, “Very good. The use of aerial photography fully demonstrates that our comrades have taken this matter very seriously. In addition, the choice of locations fully showcases the advantageous tourism resources of Hongjiang, which is excellent.”

With that, Wei Lin turned his head to Zhou Danian and others beside him and said, “Director Zhou, the Tourism Expo is currently the most important event in Hongjiang. Secretary Nie has always given it high attention and has even appointed Governor Wen to take the lead personally. This shows how much the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government value the Tourism Expo. The promotional film is one aspect; in addition, in terms of the exhibition stage design, program arrangements, and promotional materials for the exhibition, the Tourism Bureau must coordinate and cooperate well with the other departments.”

In front of Wei Lin, Zhou Danian was extremely cautious. With the east wind brought by the Tourism Expo, the Tourism Bureau suddenly became highly sought after in the province. People who didn’t pay any attention to him before were now eagerly approaching him, a change Zhou Danian was well aware of. At this time, without needing any reminders, Zhou Danian would do his utmost.

Zhou gave a respectful nod and said, “Please rest assured, Minister Wei, please rest assured, Provincial Committee. The Tourism Bureau will certainly do its duty well, and will work together whole-heartedly with other fraternal departments to ensure all tasks for the Tourism Expo are well executed.”

Zhou’s attitude pleased Wei Lin greatly. Being a parachuted official, Wei Lin had no roots in Hongjiang. Whether the Hongjiang officials would accept him was an inevitable issue for Wei Lin. Of course, Wei Lin was now closely following Nie Zhenbang, and thus, the comrades below would not dare to play any tricks in front of him.

Wei Lin then smiled, nodded, and turning around, he looked at Liu Changlin from the Broadcasting Authority and said, “Director Liu, I believe the importance of the Tourism Expo to Hongjiang doesn’t need to be reiterated by me. The Propaganda Department’s stance is very clear; everything must make way for the participation in the Tourism Expo. Currently, the priority of the Propaganda Department is to create momentum for the Expo’s exhibition. Red River TV, as the most important propaganda platform in Hongjiang Province, has a significant task in this regard. Next, I will invite Secretary Nie, Governor Wen, and other Provincial Committee leaders to review the final version of this promotional film. After that, the Hongjiang broadcasting system must enhance its propaganda work and broadcast Hongjiang’s confidence and determination.”

It goes without saying that Wei Lin is indeed a master of propaganda work. His grasp of the key points in propaganda work is undoubtedly strong.

…

Late at night

The Provincial Committee office building was still brightly lit.

In the small conference room of the Provincial Committee, Party Secretary Nie Zhenbang and Governor Wen Baogui took their seats, surrounded by other standing committee leaders of the Provincial Committee.

In front, the staff had already turned on the projector. It was arranged for after ten o’clock at night, a compromise to account for the busy schedules of the standing committee members who could handle the usual workload. If it weren’t for routine standing committee meetings or emergency meetings, it was virtually impossible to gather all committee members to watch a promotional film. Thus, such activities had to be scheduled for the evening.

Without a long wait, the lights in the conference room soon dimmed. On the big screen appeared the words “Beautiful Hongjiang,” penned by the former senior leader of the province, Yan Cangsheng.

Then, the screen changed, displaying lush green trees and an antique-styled presentation one by one before everyone. Half an hour flew by in a flash. When the lights came up again, all the committee members turned around, gathered at the meeting table, and sat down once more.

Nie Zhenbang’s expression was very calm, showing neither dissatisfaction nor pleasure. Scanning the room, Nie Zhenbang spoke, “Minister Wei, in charge of the expo participation and promotion work, you start and share your thoughts.”

Wei Lin nodded, looked at everyone and said, “Since Secretary Nie has called on me, I’ll start off. I invite leaders and comrades present to give their comments, consider it throwing out a brick to attract jade.”

Upon speaking, Wei Lin humbly offered his views and opinions before continuing, “The original concept of the entire promotional video was based on the four characters ‘Magnificent Hongjiang River.’ Throughout, it conveyed this idea. The promotion team, after receiving the task, visited every tourist spot and place of interest across the province to determine our filming approach. The main narrative fully showcased our cultural aspects, ranging from ancient to modern times, from religious to adventurous sites. We adopted a comprehensive, multidimensional filming approach, employing helium balloons and aerial drones. From water, land, to air, we presented the tourism features of the Hongjiang River in all aspects.”

As his voice fell, Nie Zhenbang remained impassive, turning to He Yusheng next to him, “Comrade Yusheng, do you have any thoughts?”

Nie Zhenbang’s sudden question, and the fact that he called on He Yusheng so intimately, surprised many of the committee members, Qin Guanghan in particular gave He Yusheng a meaningful look. He felt resentful, as his own side had just begun to show such a sign, a thought, and there He Yusheng was, eagerly aligning with Secretary Nie.

Wen Baogui was also somewhat astonished and became more vigilant internally. He Yusheng was not a simple man. At the very least, such decisiveness and audacity were not things Wen Baogui could resolve to do in a short time. At the same time, he was filled with shock at Secretary Nie’s tactics. His ability to balance ensured that there were no dissenting voices throughout Hongjiang Province. Secretary Nie’s authority was unmatched at the moment.

At this moment, He Yusheng felt very pleased as well. The words from Secretary Nie were like a shot of adrenaline for him, and he could anticipate that, following today, the provincial situation would change further and those below would restrain themselves quite a bit.

After pondering for a moment, He Yusheng then said, “Regarding the promotional work, I’m a layman; I don’t understand it much. I will comment from the perspective of a viewer. After watching the entire promotional video, my impression is that if I have the time and ability, I would certainly rush to visit those places.”

Of course, He Yusheng’s response was a one-size-fits-all answer. Although Wen Baogui was responsible for the matter, He Yusheng also made it clear that the promotion was mainly under the jurisdiction of Wei Lin. It wasn’t worth offending Wei Lin over such a trivial issue. Everyone should help with the collective effort. There was no problem with making such noncommittal remarks at this time.

Subsequently, the other committee members also expressed their opinions one after another; all voices, without exception, were full of praise and commendation. Indeed, in terms of the quality of the promotional video, a great deal of manpower and resources had been expended, and the quality of the video was indeed commendable. This was why everyone praised it so highly.

At this point, Wen Baogui suddenly looked at Nie Zhenbang, who had been silent and expressionless. With a thought, Wen Baogui spoke, “Secretary Nie, what are your thoughts?”

At that, Nie Zhenbang shifted slightly, adjusted his posture to sit more comfortably, and looked around before slowly saying, “Just now, I listened to comrades’ opinions, all of them full of praise. This has proven that the promotional video is indeed well-made. Money has been spent, efforts have been invested; this is a piece of work that resulted from hard work and sweat, and it truly deserves commendation. This shows that Minister Wei’s work has been outstanding.”

First of all, Nie Zhenbang fully affirmed Wei Lin’s achievements. The promotional video, genuinely speaking, had a high standard and quality. It was certain that even though the expo had not yet started, based on past experiences, this year’s promotional video for Hongjiang Province would definitely be an excellent piece.

Firstly, in terms of image quality, Hongjiang employed digital HD sources, and digital high-definition technology, which though newly emerging at that time, could guarantee the most authentic colors.

Additionally, the idea behind the choice of scenes was not random but selected aspects like history and religious culture, forming a storyline that was vibrant and engaging. It was indeed an exceptional work.

However, Nie Zhenbang had many areas of dissatisfaction. After a moment of reflection and scanning the room, he said gravely, “The quality of the promotional video is good, but personally, I believe there are aspects that are not satisfying. I feel that this promotional video can only serve as an auxiliary piece during the expo, to be played at the booth, and not as the main promotional video.”

On hearing this, all committee members were stunned; Secretary Nie’s words were clear: he had effectively nullified Wei Lin’s work. (To be continued.
