The day I got married with a big star

Chapter 806 Interests Determine Attitude
In mid-June, after more than two months of hard filming, "Lover in Time and Space" was finally finished and officially entered the post-production stage.

This also indicates that if there are no accidents, the movie will be able to catch up with this year's National Day and compete with Zheng Guoliang's movies.

Under normal circumstances, the crew would rest for a period of time after filming to let everyone relax. However, Xu Jie only treated everyone to a meal of hot-boiled mutton on the night of wrapping up, and then devoted himself to post-production work the next day.

He has no time to rest at all, and even has to work overtime to catch up, because July is the day when the variety show "Ordinary Courage" is recorded, and the last few games of the third season of "Crossover Actor", six to three, and the final, It will also start in July, so he has to finish some important tasks as much as possible before July arrives, and hand over some bits and pieces to Gao Xiaobin and others.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of June.

In the morning, Xu Jie simply washed his face and left Beijing TV Culture, driving to Beijing TV Station.

Today is not Friday, so he went to the TV station not to record "Crossover Actor", but to film the first issue of "Ordinary Courage". 1
The content of this issue is to introduce to the audience the artists invited by this season's program, as well as the various jobs selected by the artists, including simple training and on-the-job training. to shoot.

Xu Jie arrived at the Beijing Radio and Television Station, joined the program group, and then brought people to the Grand Theater. While setting up the scene, he waited for the arrival of the artists.

The six artists invited this time are still three men and three women.

In fact, strictly speaking, these six artists were not invited by him and the program group, but entered the program group through various relationships.

There are both the spokesperson of the sponsor and the relationship account of the TV station. In short, there is the support of the sponsor's father.

Hot stars are very popular on shows, and popular shows are also very popular among stars.

Therefore, not everyone who wants to participate in popular variety shows can participate, and there are certain interests behind them.

A show by luck?

Totally impossible!
"Xiao Xu!"

Suddenly a cry came from behind, interrupting Xu Jie's command.

Xu Jie turned his head and saw that it was Wu Zhiming, the deputy director.

"Master Wu, welcome to guide the work." Xu Jie said as he walked over, but he was muttering in his heart: what's the matter, maybe it's just for someone to get through the back door?
The number of times he had contact with Wu Zhiming was not many, one slap can count, but half of them were the other party interceding for others.

Everyone needs face, so face cannot be used frequently, otherwise it will be worthless.

Occasionally once or twice, it is called face, but more often, it is the insole, which smells disgusting.

"Haha, what kind of guidance work? If you are talking about variety shows, you are an expert, so how can I guide you?" Wu Zhiming said with a smile.

"Ordinary Courage" is the most profitable program in the station, how dare he direct it?

"Then Director Wu is here today...?" Xu Jie looked at Wu Zhiming suspiciously. Although the other party is the deputy director, the production of variety shows is not under his control, so he probably didn't come to watch the excitement So simple.

"Actually, I have nothing to do. I just want to see the artists. Why, haven't you come yet?" Wu Zhiming asked and looked around. Except for the staff of the program group, there was no artist.

"Soon, the agreed time is 10:9 am." Xu Jie replied, it was already [-]:[-] am.

"Oh!" Wu Zhiming nodded, and then continued to ask: "By the way, how many artists have been invited to this show?"

"Six!" Xu Jie said.

"Yes, I remembered. When I watched the first season, there were indeed six artists, but Xiao Xu, do you think that six artists are a bit small? Today's variety shows often invite more than a dozen artists. , it is not only lively, but also attracts more fans of artists to watch, which is conducive to the increase of ratings."

Ok?
Xu Jie frowned slightly, the voice was wrong!
He originally thought that the other party came today to cover the back door for one of the six artists, but after hearing what the other party said just now, it seemed more like they wanted to stuff people into the show.

This Director Wu really dare not divide, every time he wants to find something for him.

"Director Wu, do you think the ratings of "Ordinary Courage" are not high?" Xu Jie asked while looking at the other party.

"Ah? No, I didn't mean that. I just think there is still room for improvement in the ratings of this show." Wu Zhiming quickly explained.

How dare he say that the ratings of this show are not high?You must know that the highest ratings of the Beijing TV variety show was created by this show.

"Really? I really don't dare to think about this. In fact, I don't have high expectations for the second season, as long as it can match the ratings of the first season." Xu Jie said with a smile.

Even if the ratings are around [-]:[-], it would be unthinkable to switch to other variety shows.

"Xiao Xu, you can't say that. People must have ambitions, and then they have the motivation to work hard for this goal. Just like the first season of "Ordinary Courage", can you imagine that its ratings will be so high? All this It's all the result of your hard work, so keep going, I believe in you." Wu Zhiming patted Xu Jie on the shoulder and said with a serious face.

"Thank you Director Wu for trusting me, and please rest assured to hand over the show to me. I will definitely work hard for the new ratings goal." Xu Jie said seriously.

Wu Zhiming nodded in satisfaction, with a gratified smile on his face.

Huh, wait!

Wu Zhiming was slightly taken aback, but froze as soon as his smile appeared.

its not right!
What is the purpose of coming here today?It was to recommend a few more artists to join the show, but what the other party said just now, "Don't worry about leaving the show to me", doesn't that mean that his mouth was blocked?If he still insists on adding people to the show, doesn't that mean he doesn't trust the other party?

This is how to do?
Wu Zhiming was in trouble for a while.

After "Ordinary Courage" confirmed the six participating artists for the new season, many sponsors still came to him and asked if they could continue to put stars in it. As long as they agree, they will increase the investment in advertising next year.

Advertising revenue is one of the important criteria to measure the influence of a TV station.

An increase in advertising revenue usually also represents an increase in the influence of a TV station.

As the deputy head of the advertising department and media promotion department, he naturally hopes that the advertising revenue in the station will increase year after year, and the more the better.

"Xiao Xu, is there any difference between the second season of the show and the first season?" Wu Zhiming didn't give up, so he took the opportunity to inquire about the content of the show, and prepared to offer advice for the other party.

"Yes, but keep it secret for now." Xu Jie said mysteriously.

"Even I keep it a secret?" Wu Zhiming asked.

"Master Wu, among these six artists, is there anyone you recommend?" Xu Jie asked.

"Yes." Wu Zhiming said, not only there, but two more.

"If there is no one recommended by Master Wu, I will definitely tell you, but for the sake of fairness, so... I hope Master Wu can understand." Xu Jie said sincerely.

"Okay, I won't say it if I don't say it, but you should really think about my suggestion just now and arrange more artists..."

Wu Zhiming was interrupted by Xu Jie just in the middle of his speech.

"Master Wu doesn't believe me?"

Xu Jie frowned slightly. The other party wanted to interfere in everything. He had to correct this problem for the other party.

"No, absolutely not. Xiao Xu, you are overthinking. It's getting late, so I won't bother you. Keep busy." Wu Zhiming left after finishing speaking.

How can we talk about this?
If we talk about the boat of trust again, it will capsize.

"Master Wu, then go slowly, I won't see you off."

Xu Jie waved at Wu Zhiming, with a hint of coldness hidden under his smile.

Don't stretch your legs so long next time.

Wu Zhiming walked out of the theater with a sad face, but failed to fulfill the sponsor's request, what will happen to the advertising fee next year?You can't just rely on the two programs "Crossover Actor" and "Ordinary Courage", right?

Isn't there such a sentence?
A flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together makes the garden full of spring.

Only relying on Xiao Xu's two variety shows, the growth of advertising revenue is limited. If the advertising revenue of other programs can also increase accordingly, it will be completely different.

Just when Wu Zhiming kept sighing, he suddenly found Lu Hong walking towards him. Looking in the direction, he seemed to be planning to go to the Grand Theatre.

"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lu, where are you going?" Wu Zhiming greeted the other party enthusiastically. Since it was difficult for Xiao Xu to speak, let's start with Lu Hong.

The other party is the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the cultural program center, and Xiao Xu's program happens to be under the management of the other party, and the advertising revenue of Beijing Satellite TV also belongs to the other party's performance. Tell the other party about adding artists, and find the right person.

"Xiao Xu's show is recorded on the first day of today. I'll go see how the preparations are going. Deputy Director Wu, are you going out?" Lu Hong asked.

"Hey, why go out? I don't dare to go out now, for fear of being caught by those company bosses." Wu Zhiming sighed deeply.

Of course, this is pretend.

If you don't pretend, how can you arouse the other party's curiosity?

"Ah? No way?" Lu Hong couldn't help laughing when he saw Wu Zhiming's appearance. After all, the other party was also the deputy director of the TV station. How could he be afraid of those company bosses?
"Hey, you don't know, some company bosses chased me and asked me to put people in the show, such as Xiao Xu's new show "Ordinary Courage". Haven't the people been settled? There are still many companies looking for me , I hope they can put their endorsement stars in, and they said that they will increase the advertising cost of our station in the future. Isn’t this embarrassing for me? The production of the program is not in my control, so I don’t dare to meet those companies at all now boss."

Wu Zhiming vomited bitterness, and finally showed a wry smile.

As soon as Lu Hong heard it, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

This is complaining to him.

He looked at the direction Wu Zhiming was coming from. There was only the Grand Theater over there. That is to say, the other party had probably approached Xiao Xu, but Xiao Xu rejected him.

"Vice Director Wu, will this incident have a big impact on our station's advertising revenue?" Lu Hong couldn't help asking. As the person in charge of the satellite TV program center, this incident has a lot to do with him.

Seeing Youmener, Wu Zhiming quickly said: "Of course, you think, what if you offend those company bosses because of this incident, and they stop sponsoring our programs in the future? In fact, it doesn't matter how much our station's advertising revenue increases. The key is not to let it go down, right?"

Lu Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I'll go talk to Xiao Xu and see if I can add some people."

"Really? Then I'll go back to the office and wait for your good news." Wu Zhiming said happily, thinking that if Xiao Xu didn't give him face, could he not give Lao Lu face?

The other party is the head of Beijing Satellite TV Channel!
After Lu Hong and Wu Zhiming separated, they came to the Grand Theater. The stars had already arrived, and they were talking with Xiao Xu, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Xiao Xu!"

Lu Hong walked over.

"Editor Lu, you are here!"

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Lu!"

The two artists took the initiative to greet each other with polite and respectful faces. How can they offend the high-level executives of Beijing Radio and Television Station?

It's too late to climb.

Lu Hong came to Xiao Xu's side, and the two artists left with interest.

"Editor-in-Chief Lu, everything is ready, and we can officially start recording as soon as the artists arrive." Xu Jie reported to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lu.

"Well, I'm relieved that you're doing the show. By the way, Deputy Director Wu came to see you just now, right?" Lu Hong asked directly, without going around with the other party.

In his opinion, Xiao Xu is his and his own, so there is no need to go around, just talk about it if you have something to do, and go around, but it will be easy to lose heart and appear insincere.

When people get along with each other, sincerity is very important, even if it is a subordinate, otherwise, why should the subordinate work hard for the superior?Are you sick of fishing?

"Well, I just left." Xu Jie said, thinking in his heart, could Deputy Director Wu ask Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lu for help?

"Deputy Director Wu has already told me that he is also thinking about the revenue of the station, and adding a few more people will not have much impact on the show, what do you think?" Lu Hong asked.

Xu Jie didn't speak, and thought to himself: Does the income of the station have anything to do with me?Besides, if you add a few more people, won't the workload of the program group be increased?
Whether it is Deputy Director Wu or Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lu, they are all leaders of the station, but he is different. He is now a member of Jingshi Culture, and he should and should consider Jingshi Culture.

So his task is very simple, that is to do a good job of the program, ratings are everything, and nothing else.

When Lu Hong saw that Xiao Xu didn't speak, he knew that the other party disagreed, but he didn't mean to blame the other party, but chose to give in voluntarily.

"Xiao Xu, what do you think of this? How about adding a few guest artists instead of resident artists? An artist only makes a guest appearance on one episode, which can be regarded as an explanation to the company bosses, and in this way, the guests who need Artists will also increase, you can also arrange some artists to come in." Lu Hong said.

Ok?
Xu Jie's eyes lit up, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lu's suggestion was very good.

It's not good for him, of course he won't agree, but now that it's good for him, why doesn't he agree?
"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lu, I'll listen to you."

As soon as Xu Jie said this, he was already thinking about who to play as a cameo.
