Huaguang Entertainment Company.
"The Speaker" program director Chen Yin and chief planner Zhang Lai walked towards Director Xu Ying's office with solemn expressions.
After the official website of the General Administration of Culture was updated, Xu Ying called immediately and asked the two of them to go to the office to find her immediately.
"Old Zhang, why did Mr. Xu call us over?" Director Chen Yin turned to look at Zhang Lai and asked.
Zhang Lai frowned deeply, glanced sideways at Chen Yin, and said, "Do you need to say more? It must be because of "Happy Comedian". It's really weird. How come that program has such good results?"
Zhang Lai asked himself, he imitated "Tucao Conference" so hard and seriously that he felt touched by his efforts.
The results of "Tucao Conference" are so good, even if the results of "The Speaker" are not as good, they won't be much worse. Zhang Lai has great confidence in "The Speaker".
Although the show "Happy Comedian" was discussed before because of Tan Yue, in fact, Zhang Lai did not feel that "Happy Comedian" could pose any threat to "The Speaker".
In Zhang Lai's view, the competitor of "The Orator" should be "I Am the Great Detective". He even had an idea that he had never told anyone else, that "The Orator" could surpass "I Am the Great Detective", and The currently popular "Dimension Gang" is about to give it a try.
However, after seeing the updated online comprehensive results on the official website of the General Administration of Culture today, Zhang Lai's fantasy was shattered, and he was brutally ravaged and slapped in the face... The gap between "The Speaker" and "I Am the Great Detective" has not been narrowed. However, the ranking dropped from the original second to third, and was overtaken by "Happy Comedian".
Seeing this result, Zhang Lai felt that his brain was a little short of oxygen, and the entire crew of "The Speaker" was also confused, buzzing and quarreling.
Zhang Lai and Chen Yin were notified by director Xu Ying to talk in the office.
The two of them were in a heavy mood and stopped talking on the way. They stopped outside the door of Xu Ying's office and looked at each other. Chen Yin raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
Soon, director Xu Ying's voice came from the office, "Come in."
Zhang Lai and Chen Yin pushed the door open and went in. Xu Ying looked up at them, stood up and walked to the coffee table, saying to them: "Sit down."
"Mr. Xu."
"Director."
Zhang Lai and Chen Yin had lied to Xu Ying before, saying that the performance of "The Speaker" would definitely rise all the way, and that it would even be a follow-up work that would kill Tan Yue, an original artist, on the beach...
But now that the results have been announced online, and the bold black fonts are displayed on the official website of the General Administration of Culture, Zhang Lai and Chen Yin both have a burning feeling on their faces.
Xu Ying nodded, looked at the two of them seriously, and said, "You should all know the results of "Happy Comedian". Do you have any thoughts now?"
Zhang Lai grinned and said with some shame: "Director, I was wrong in my prediction. I didn't expect Tan Yue's new show to have such strong results."
Chen Yin also nodded, and was about to review himself in front of the leader, but was interrupted by Xu Ying's wave.
Xu Ying frowned and said: "I didn't expect that "Happy Comedian" would be so powerful, and I can't blame you, so you don't have to take this as pressure on your shoulders."
After hearing Xu Ying's words, Zhang Lai and Chen Yin both felt relieved.
Xu Ying continued: "I called you here this time because I want to ask you what you think of "Happy Comedian" and what measures we will take next... We did overestimate it before. We ourselves also underestimated Tan Yue's "Happy Comedian". The momentum shown by "Happy Comedian" this time is also a warning to us not to underestimate this program."
As the chief planner of "The Speaker", Zhang Lai felt heavy in his heart when he thought of the sudden rise of "The Happy Comedian". He had been copying "Tucao Conference" before, and every time he studied "Tucao Conference", he was always impressed by Tan Yue The amazement is even higher. To be able to produce such a good show, Tan Yue has reached a very high level in terms of talent and ability. However, Zhang Lai felt that although Tan Yue's ability to produce programs was better than his own, he did not feel that he was so strong that he could not see beyond his reach. As long as he worked hard enough, he would definitely be able to catch up with Tan Yue's level.
But that was Zhang Lai's conclusion based on his dedicated study of "Tucao Conference". Now combined with the current "Happy Comedian", he instantly realized that he had underestimated Tan Yue.
There is a big difference between "Happy Comedian" and "Complaint Conference". Zhang Lai can't figure out how Tan Yue can make "Happy Comedian" with such good results.
"Comedian it...um...uh."
"this......"
Zhang Lai and Chen Yin stuttered twice and then closed their mouths.
Chen Yin has been focusing on filming the show. Zhang Lai has read some information about "Happy Comedian", but he didn't pay enough attention to this program before. Zhang Lai didn't study it carefully at all. Now "Happy Comedian" His performance was better than that of "The Speaker", so it was really difficult for him to suddenly analyze and study the advantages and disadvantages of "The Happy Comedian". Besides, Xu Ying was not one of those fools in the group, and she was not easily fooled. It’s not good, and it’s easy to discredit the leader’s mind.
Xu Ying frowned and said, "It's hard to tell?"
Zhang Lai and Chen Yin looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said, "Director, neither of us has studied this program too much, so it's hard to say. How about we go back and sort it out first, and come back to you later." Report?"
Xu Ying thought for a while and said: "Let's go and prepare and figure out a clue. We will have a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon. The directors and chief planners of each department's program groups will be present to analyze "Happy Comedian" together. "."
After listening to Xu Ying's words, both Zhang Lai and Chen Yin were secretly surprised by the importance Mr. Xu attached to "Happy Comedian", but they didn't say anything. They said something to Xu Ying, then stood up and left together.
Walk out of the director's office.
Chen Yin whispered: "Mr. Xu attaches great importance to "Happy Comedian". I remember that the last time so many of us discussed and analyzed it was "Dimension Gang". "I Am Detective" does not have this qualification. "
Zhang Lai snorted and said: "This is a good thing. "Happy Comedian" is our competitor. The more Mr. Xu pays attention to this program now, the more it shows that this program is very strong. Even if we can't compare with them by then, .....cough, cough, cough, I’m a little frustrated, I think we can definitely compete!”
Chen Yin looked at Zhang Lai who looked serious, solemn and confident. He was quite confident in "The Speaker" at first, but now after listening to Zhang Lai's words, he suddenly felt a little less confident.
.......
Hedong Provincial Television Building.
In the office of Deputy Director Tian Wenbin, during this period, Tian Wenbin's glory was no longer there. The office that was once crowded with people gradually became deserted. The reason was that the new director who came down from the air did not pay attention to him.
On the one hand, "Tucao Conference" was originally a pillar program of Hedong TV station. It can be said that many Hedong TV stations and people in Hedong Province saw the hope of the rise of provincial TV stations, but in the end it fell into the hands of Tian Wenbin, so that The rising momentum of the TV station has been interrupted. In the past, it was due to Tian Wenbin's power. Now that Tian Wenbin has fallen, the grievances of the station staff will no longer be buried so deep. Even if they are not directly fighting in the group, they will continue to curse behind their backs. , naturally few people come to Tian Wenbin's office anymore.
On the other hand, although Tian Wenbin was the acting director before, he also stepped down from the position of director. How could the new director like this kind of person? Even if he behaves indifferently and magnanimously on the surface, he only needs to If Tian Wenbin is not mentioned in daily work, Tian Wenbin will basically automatically become transparent on stage.
"Cough cough cough."
"Ahem."
Tian Wenbin coughed badly and picked up the white porcelain water cup on the table, only to find that there was no water in it.
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Tian Wenbin sighed and stood up to get the water.
Who would have thought that Tian Wenbin, who was burdened with countless tasks every day, could now read the newspaper leisurely during working hours.
The days after returning to the position of deputy director can be said to be the most leisurely period of time for Tian Wenbin in his working life. Every day is relaxing and there is nothing to deal with. It is even more leisurely than Deputy Director Jiang who is really about to retire.
Such a life should be leisurely and relaxing, but now Tian Wenbin's wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are clearly visible, and the hair on his temples is half white. His back, which used to be straight, has gradually become more rickety.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the office door. Tian Wenbin put down the white porcelain cup in his hand and said, "Come in."
Although he is now relegated to the second line and has very little power in his hands, he is still the only deputy director in the station. Some things will still be reported to him. Although there are fewer people coming, it is not true that no one comes. .
The visitor opened the door and walked in. When he saw Tian Wenbin who was about to pick up the water, he quickly put down the lunch box in his hand, walked over quickly and said, "Dad, I'll pick it up for you."
The visitor was none other than Tian Wenbin’s only daughter, Tian Yuan.
Compared with the naive and arrogant young lady before, Tian Yuan now seems much more restrained.
Seeing his daughter grabbing his cup to get some water for himself, Tian Wenbin smiled and said, "Your dad is not old enough to even receive a glass of water."
Tian Yuandao: "Dad, are you hungry? Mom just finished cooking the food, and I took a taxi to deliver it to you. It's less than half an hour before it's ready."
Tian Wenbin had breakfast after six o'clock, so he had to have lunch earlier. He usually starts eating lunch around eleven o'clock.
Tian Wenbin looked at the time, it was less than ten o'clock.
Just as he was about to slowly talk to his daughter for a while, the landline phone on his desk suddenly rang.
Tian Wenbin frowned and walked over to answer the phone.
"Hello."
"Okay, Director, I'll be there right away."
After putting down the phone, Tian Wenbin turned to Tian Yuan and said, "Yuanyuan, you are waiting for dad here. Dad has something to deal with."
After saying that, Tian Wenbin immediately walked out of the office.
Tian Yuan just heard that his father must have been summoned by the new station director, and for a moment, he felt uncomfortable.
...
Tian Wenbin has been very idle recently. He has not reached the age where he can no longer work, and he still wants to continue to struggle.
He wanted to seize every opportunity to make a comeback. Even if he was angry, he never showed it at all. After the new station director took office, although he felt that he was being targeted, he did not resist at all. He hoped that he could leave a good impression on the new station director... But to his regret, the new station director did not want to reuse him. Meaning, the only two times I met him, I asked him about the "Tucao Conference".
This time, I was called by the new director. I don’t know if it was because of the "Tucao Conference".
After getting closer, I saw that the director's office was not closed, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Li Jian, the new director of Hedong Provincial Television, sat behind his desk, raised his head and looked outside, and said with a smile: "Lao Tian is here, come in."
Regarding this spacious and familiar office, Tian Wenbin showed no emotion on his face.
"Director." Tian Wenbin said respectfully.
Li Jian nodded, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit."
After Tian Wenbin sat down, Li Jian said: "Old Tian, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to ask you about the "Tucao Conference" again. The leaders above intend to start the "Tucao Conference" again. , but at present, if you want to restart this program, you still cannot do without Tan Yue, Lao Tian, you have dealt with the "Tucao Conference" a lot, what do you think?"
When Tian Wenbin heard this, he secretly thought that it was indeed the case. The new station director Li Jian still had scruples about him and still had no intention of letting him re-take charge of part of the work. He was only serving as a consultant.
Tian Wenbin thought for a while and said: "Director, the program "Tucao Conference" is very creative, but the requirements and conditions are very high. It must be rooted in current social hot topics, and it must extract wonderful jokes from it. In fact, during the post-production process of "Tucao Conference", we found that there are not always so many interesting and weird things in society for us to refine... I think it will be difficult to recreate this show .”
Li Jian frowned and continued to ask: "What about Tan Yue? What if we poached him back, or cooperated with Bright Entertainment Company, and asked him to come back and serve as the director of "Tucao Conference"?"
Tian Wenbin frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Director, I don't think it's feasible. When Tan Yue started the "Tucao Conference", he also had a lot of luck in it. The audience was very interested in this new type of TV show. The program is curious, and the only choice is "Tucao Conference". The good results of "Tucao Conference" were achieved due to many factors. It's not really as rumored, but because Tan Yue... Nowadays, the talk in the market There are already many show-type programs, such as Penguin Video's "The Speaker", which is very good. Under such circumstances, it would be useless to bring Tan Yue back."
After listening to Tian Wenbin's words, Li Jian also frowned, which was a bit difficult to handle.
At this time, there were two knocks on the office door, and the director's assistant came in with some information, "Director, this is a summary of important matters issued by the General Administration today."
