"Xiadu Supplements" is the highlight of Xiadu TV this year. It integrates interviews and live broadcasts. It strives to promote history and culture while arousing the public's attention to the protection of cultural relics and the protection of civilization...
Mei Qian looked at the brochure in front of him and was speechless.
A total of 500 viewers watched the live broadcast with the guests, and then two veteran experts led a few amateurs to talk under the guidance of the host.
Huh? In order to balance entertainment, we also need to conduct "academic discussions" in groups?
Fortunately, it doesn't require playing games or audience voting like other variety shows.
If he really wanted to end up in such a disgraceful situation, would he rather pay a liquidated damages than go back and wait to be scolded?
What he didn't know was that there was a really stupid director who had considered conducting some group confrontations after the live broadcast to enhance the entertainment effect.
However, the experts from the Archeology Bureau who were invited over said no, and considering that there was a disabled person like Mei Qian on the scene, they gave up the design.
"The first program is a pilot program, it is just a recording and broadcast." Maomao said while holding the microphone for Mei Qian: "If you don't have a book, you have to perform on your own. In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't say it well. You can ask to start over."
Mei Qian: "..." Can it still be like this?
Well, although he has participated in several variety shows, he has never shown his face in front of so many live audiences.
At this moment, they are in the studio hall. The layout and lighting of the entire hall are relatively warm, and they have obviously put in a lot of effort. The staff are busy walking around, and the lights and cameras are being adjusted. And below the studio,
There are already people sitting in the auditorium.
After confirming their location during the live broadcast, Maomao and Ning Chi pushed Mei Qian backstage. Then they had to complete the preliminary work and go through the appearance procedures.
As soon as I went backstage, I met an acquaintance, Su Liqun, who invited Mei Qian.
After exchanging greetings, Su Liqun pushed his wheelchair naturally, and the two of them entered the guest waiting area together.
As for Maomao and Ning Chi, since there are cameras in the waiting area, it is inconvenient for the assistants to show their faces.
There were already people in the waiting room. Su Liqun seemed to be very familiar with them and offered to introduce Mei Qian.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, a gray-haired old man laughed, waved to Mei Qian and said, "See you again, little friend Mei!"
Mei Qian was stunned and then laughed: "Hello, Mr. Xu. I didn't expect you to be here!" Yes, this old man was none other than Professor Xu, a senior in the archaeological field who had visited his home with Professor Mao.
"I would rather go to the first scene." Hearing this, Mr. Xu had a look of regret on his face.
Mei Qian understood clearly that given the age of the old man in front of him and his old arms and legs, no one could afford it. Presumably, this man was one of the experts on the program team.
Mr. Xu stretched out his hand towards the other old man beside him: "This Old Wei is also traveling with us."
Companion... Mei Qian twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced around, and saw that the others were looking at this place with amusement, he coughed hurriedly, and nodded to the old man named Old Wei: "Hello, Mr. Wei."
The latter first glared at Mr. Xu angrily, and then looked at Mei Qian with strange eyes. After a while, he nodded: "Mei Qian? I have long admired your name."
His attitude is colder than Mr. Xu's, but still polite.
"Teacher Mei, I am the in-room host, Duan Chuan." At this time, a middle-aged man in a bright silver suit stepped forward to shake hands.
Then there was a young man with short hair, who came up with a ninety-degree bow: "Hello, teacher, my name is Chen Fei. I like your novels very much. I am very happy to participate in the program with you."
As soon as these words came out, Mei Qian couldn't help but be startled. Just looking at the hairstyle and neutral casual clothes, he thought the other person was a handsome guy, but he didn't expect that the voice was clear and sweet, and he turned out to be a little girl.
But he was quite polite. He raised his eyebrows and politely replied: "It's good for you too."
Finally, I shook hands with a popular man, who introduced himself as Qiao Hua.
After everyone had said hello, Su Liqun pushed Mei Qian to the corner and explained to him in a low voice.
It turned out that there were a total of six guests in the studio. Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu Shaoqing, and Mr. Wei Wei Zhenshan were representatives of the Archaeological Bureau. They participated in the program and explained cultural relics and historical knowledge to the audience. As senior leaders, they themselves have attracted much attention from the academic community.
With their participation and comments, the views appearing in the program may be less controversial.
As an actor and a professor at the Academy of Opera, Su Liqun himself has good cultural qualities.
Mei Qian is currently the most popular tomb-robbing novelist in Xia Kingdom, and he is also a man of the hour.
With their participation, not only will this program attract countless traffic, but at least it will have a certain guarantee on the ratings.
Chen Fei is a student internet celebrity who has been active on short video platforms and is very popular among teenagers.
As for the last one, he was an amateur. I don’t know what channels the program team recruited him through. He didn’t have many contacts and didn’t take the initiative to talk to him. Even Su Liqun, who is good at sociability, knew very little about him.
However, the addition of amateurs is considered a gimmick in itself.
"The program hasn't been released yet, and no one knows how effective it will be, so we can only make adjustments slowly." Su Liqun clearly showed concern about the ambition of the program team.
But he didn't realize that Mei Qian actually didn't pay attention to what he was saying. Instead, he kept staring thoughtfully at the ordinary-looking amateur...
Gu Yan
-----------------------
The first day of recording took a total of two hours, and it is said that it will be edited into a 40-minute film to be played when the official broadcast begins.
But all in all, Mei Qian has been at the TV station for the whole afternoon.
In addition to guests who are familiar with the on-site environment and cooperation, they also need to accept an exclusive interview and talk about their understanding of archaeological work.
From a participant's perspective, this live archaeological program is more advanced than the slow variety shows he participated in in the past.
Although they are all conversations and discussions, the former is a relaxed conversation, while the latter needs to be more professional. It also has to be connected to the first scene, which is more serious.
But you don’t have to work, and you don’t have to work hard to deduct your character.
The program is not rigid either. Su Liqun and Chen Fei should belong to the atmosphere group. The function of their presence is to make the program less boring.
Two old professors were responsible for answering questions.
The purpose of hiring amateur Qiao Hua is currently unknown, but it is probably just a gimmick.
As for Mei Qian himself, on the first day of recording, he focused on the safety of front-line personnel. He was relieved to learn that the archaeological team was accompanied by security personnel. After that, he spent most of the time sitting in a wheelchair as an audience. Questioned by the host
Not much, he couldn't talk about professional questions, and he couldn't talk about gag topics. Rather than being a guest, he looked more like a mascot.
Only when it came to the interaction with the live audience did this situation change.
As a legendary topical figure, he naturally gets the most questions.
These viewers were probably reminded by the film crew that questions rarely go beyond the scope.
He was able to deal with some tricky people quite easily.
Afterwards, the director's assistant also came over with trepidation and explained that most of these problems would not be broadcast.
Mei Qian didn't care. This recording can be edited, but it will be broadcast live afterwards. No matter what questions the audience raises, they will have to face them.
Since he agreed to participate in this program, he was already mentally prepared.
The TV station spent so much effort and money to invite him here, not to tell stories or to respond to various questions.
If his inference is correct, after entering the live broadcast, someone should deliberately bring some sensitive topics to him.
I am afraid that many people hope that he will reveal his flaws in the program and then guide him to provide convenience and public opinion support for future investigation work.
I just don’t know if the person doing this work is Duan Chuan, the pillar of Xiadu TV, or a so-called amateur, or some viewers?
After coming out of the TV station, Mei Qian took his assistant to a well-known restaurant. Regardless of Maomao's protests, he and Ning Chi opened a bottle of liquor and started drinking.
At the same time, in the office of the third detachment of Xiadu Criminal Police.
Because I haven't worked overtime in recent days, my colleagues left at the end of the day.
Zhang Yu deliberately waited until the end. Not long after, the captain walked in carrying a thermos cup.
"Mei Qian will participate in the show today."
Zhang Yu closed the computer and replied calmly: "I don't think this archaeological live broadcast can find evidence of his crime."
Ran Ran smiled, pulled up a chair and sat down across from him: "Our trace experts will also go to the grave. Any suspicious places will be inspected and recorded. If there is any evidence of crime, we will know when the time comes."
"The appearance of the Xiadu Tomb is very unscientific, and since Mei Qian dares to write about it, there must be no clues at all like the previous tombs." Zhang Yu remained pessimistic.
"But what's the explanation for the bronze tripod and the satellite photos?" Xuanyuan sighed: "Even if nothing is discovered this time, if we increase the intensity of the investigation, the work is there, and we can't just not do it because there is little hope, right?
Then he looked directly at Zhang Yu: "So you didn't agree to restart the investigation of Mei Qian from the beginning. Why didn't you mention it when Lao Qin was here?"
Zhang Yu rolled his eyelids: "As an old colleague, what is Captain Qin's personality that you don't know? It's not that I haven't tried to persuade him from the side, but I didn't listen at all. Besides, when I came back from Nanyun, the task force had been set up and even the operation code name was given.
, is objection useful?”
Ran Ran's chubby face trembled, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "So you gave up your choice, refused to take over as captain, and put all the pressure on me without any sense of loyalty."
"Who knew they would transfer you back?" Zhang Yu innocently spread his hands, quite gloating: "Anyway, it's not my turn to have a headache. Who told you to be taller now!"
Arbitrarily but with a sneer: "I haven't given up the investigation of difficult cases before. You are not someone who will shrink from the battle. What is the reason that made you give up the opportunity for promotion and salary increase?"
Zhang Yu's face stiffened, and when he saw the sarcasm on his face, he explained softly: "Mei Qian saved my life. Maybe now I can pat my chest and promise that I will enforce the law impartially and shout slogans louder than anyone else. But we are not machines.
, as long as you are a human being, you will be influenced by your personal emotions. Although Mei Qian is suspicious from head to toe, my feeling tells me that he is not a bad person, not to mention that we are still good friends. I am not afraid of ten thousand, just what happens.
There is no guarantee that I will not make mistakes at critical moments. Therefore, instead of letting myself fall into conflicts and self-blame in the future, it is better to throw away the baggage and let me wave the flag and shout from behind."
At this point, he regained his smile: "Of course, if you don't trust me, I will voluntarily withdraw from the task force. Don't worry, I think I will act worthy of the police uniform I wear and will not reveal a word to the suspect."
Ran Ran looked at him deeply, and after a while he sighed: "I have known you for such a long time, and I believe you are definitely not a favoritist. There is no need to discuss your withdrawal from the task force."
"In this case, Captain Ren, what should we do next?"
"For the time being, well, I can only watch the show first..."
