"Isn't this the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse?" This matter has been published in the newspapers, and even the photos of the motorcade made the front page.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for determining where the other party will be staying, and Huo Tingzhou does not have very detailed information about that.
But this time they sent nearly 500 people, and the planes took off and landed nearly 70 times just to transport personnel and supplies.
Therefore, it is very likely that only a portion of the people are staying at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Newspaper information is a mix of truth and falsehood, but on the day they flew to Shanghai, Huo Tingzhou and his group did indeed pick up the person at the Yihe Hotel.
They then flew to Shanghai on the same private jet.
Upon hearing Huo Tingzhou's explanation, Jiang Si immediately understood.
As one of the reception venues for this foreign affairs event, the design and construction achievements of the Yihe Hotel naturally became part of the exhibition.
As the chief designer, it makes sense that she receives such attention.
"Okay, you keep an eye on things for now, I'll go make lunch."
Even without looking at the interview outline, Huo Tingzhou could tell from the thickness of the paper that this afternoon's shoot would probably take a long time, and he would definitely need to have a good lunch.
For lunch, we ate noodles. Huo Tingzhou poached a few eggs and also stir-fried two quick dishes.
Just as the family finished eating, a car from Beijing TV arrived at the entrance of the residential compound.
Two cars came this time, one for Editor-in-Chief Yang and the other for Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou's family of four.
The reporter, cameraman, makeup artist, and lighting technician rode in another car.
The group first went to the construction department and took close-up photos of Jiang Si working at her desk, revising design drawings, in her former office.
It must have been really tough on them. Jiang Si had been away from the company for almost half a year, and they never expected that the drafts she had revised before would still be dug up.
The office was exactly the same as when she left, even the cactus she had been keeping half-dead on the windowsill was still in the same spot.
Holding her paintbrush and sitting down at her familiar desk, Jiang Si felt a momentary sense of disorientation, as if she had returned to the time when she and her colleagues stayed up all night to finish drafts and had heated discussions.
This feeling reached its peak when I saw my former colleagues again.
After not seeing these familiar faces for several months, Jiang Si's smile became noticeably more genuine.
Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, as if they had endless things to talk about.
In this natural and harmonious atmosphere, Jiang Si successfully completed the medium shot of discussing design plans with her colleagues.
The cameraman and director Yang, who were standing nearby, nodded repeatedly as they watched the footage on the monitor.
Although they were all staged, the interaction between the people in the photos was natural and smooth, and the effect was surprisingly good.
What moved them the most was the last scene filmed at the construction department, where Jiang Si, wearing a big red flower, received an award certificate from a leader.
They originally planned to find a staff member to fill in, but unexpectedly, Minister Zhao heard about this.
They rescheduled the afternoon meeting and even gave up the large conference room, personally going on set to cooperate with the filming.
And so, the content that was originally scheduled to take four or five hours to film was successfully completed in less than three hours.
During breaks in filming, Huo Tingzhou quietly stayed by his side, his gaze always following his busy wife.
As for the two little ones, they were taken away by Professor Li and Director Yang.
Both of them had attended the children's first birthday parties before, and Jiang Si had often brought them over as well, so the two little ones were very popular with a group of people at work.
The main reason is that the children have grown up; they are not only well-behaved and sensible, but also increasingly eloquent.
Professor Li and his colleagues were overjoyed to see the little ones.
After finishing filming here, the group immediately moved on to a nearby construction site.
This is where the role of the accompanying makeup artist becomes apparent.
However, her task was not to make Jiang Si more beautiful, but to make her look as tired as possible through makeup.
After filming several scenes of Jiang Si wearing a safety helmet, holding blueprints, and earnestly communicating with the workers at the construction site.
What followed was a two-hour interview.
The interview was specially arranged in the conference room on the top floor of the Yihe Hotel.
The view here is excellent, offering a panoramic view of the entire city of Beijing.
The interview ended at 8 p.m.
As dusk settles over Chang'an Avenue, the traffic flows like a shimmering ribbon of light.
The cameraman quickly captured the moment, inwardly marveling that this scene could have been perfect for the end of the program.
The print journalists also quickly jotted down their inspirations.
This brightly lit and bustling night scene is a vivid portrayal of the hard work and wisdom of countless builders like Comrade Jiang, and it also symbolizes the bright future and vibrant vitality of China's development.
After the final long shot was filmed, everyone on set, including Jiang Si, breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Yang smiled broadly and extended his hand first, saying, "Comrade Jiang, the filming is now complete. Thank you very much for your full cooperation today."
Jiang Si smiled slightly and reached out to shake hands with the other person. "It's my duty. Today, it's actually you all who have worked hard, running around all day."
As they talked, they packed up their equipment and prepared to go downstairs.
When she arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Jiang Si stopped and looked around.
Before the interview began, she told Huo Tingzhou that there were several public areas in the Yihe Hotel where he could bring his children to visit.
