At seven o'clock in the evening, there are still forty minutes left before "The King of Masked Singer" officially starts broadcasting.
Huang Tao, director of the Central Comprehensive Economic and Technological Research Center, walked quickly to the office building. After arriving at the office lobby, he suddenly stopped.
In the hall, more than a dozen male and female staff members, each holding a bowl of instant noodles, were sitting in groups of twos and threes in front of three televisions, whispering.
Hearing the movement at the entrance, everyone looked up.
Everyone was surprised to find that at this time, the leader who should have left work long ago actually appeared in front of him and others.
"Director Huang!"
"Director Huang, why are you back? You won't work overtime tonight!"
"Have Director Huang had dinner?"
Everyone greeted them enthusiastically, leaving Huang Tao, who was a little stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Why don't you get off work yet?" Huang Tao asked.
The staff looked at each other, and the air was a little quiet.
After a while, one of them put the instant noodles in his hand on the table, stood up on his own initiative, and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't "The King of Masked Singer" starting tonight? Everyone is thinking about the ratings, and they feel uneasy, so
We decided to deal with it in the office tonight. It would be great if we could see the ratings immediately. This would also put everyone at ease. After all, this is something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time."
"Boss, you also know that our variety show channel has been busy lately, focusing on "The King of Masked Singer"."
"Publicity planning, program packaging, post-editing... In fact, in my opinion, everyone has done a good job. Although it is tiring, as you said, our journey is the stars and the sea!"
"So, this little bit of tiredness and hardship is nothing compared to the journey to a distant place?"
"Boss, I also know the pressure that is on you these days!"
"Taili does not trust you, and sent the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate you. It is pure slander. Everyone sees it. In the end, facts speak louder than words. The results of the investigation are not fishy. You are innocent after all."
, and it also gave us all a reassurance.”
"But you may have forgotten those people who are throwing dirty water at you with their claws and teeth, but we all remember it!"
"Not only do we remember it in our minds, we also engrave it in our hearts! This is an insult, the biggest insult to our variety show channel. We cannot sit idly by with peace of mind."
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
"Today is the day of our revenge. We have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"I also know that at this time, other channels are waiting to see our jokes. There are many people on the station who are cursing our ratings for falling off, but what if, I mean what if... the ratings really don't rise.
What? You often tell us that people should have a sense of urgency, so at this moment, we are very anxious, but now, we can only sit here, waiting for the final result after the program is broadcast, waiting for the final verdict! "
"Of course, maybe my worries are unfounded. Haha, how could the audience not like to watch such an excellent program like ours?"
"I'm just very dissatisfied. Why do we work so hard, but we end up looking like human beings?"
"'The Masked Singer' is a very good show. Although we did not participate in the preparation, we have also seen Hanhai Studio's careful production of this show. The content of the show is wonderful, and there is absolutely nothing to say about it."
, this program, I can tell everyone with my chest beat, it is definitely worth four million!"
"It is precisely because we have seen it with our own eyes that we all believe that after "The Masked Singer" is launched, the ratings will definitely blind them!"
"We can't wait to enjoy the thrill of revenge!"
"That's why...you will see a group of us sitting here stupidly, eating instant noodles during this time period."
"We do not do it for anything else, but for the moment when revenge is successful, we can cheer loudly and tell all those who mock and despise us
"You are all wrong, only we are right!"
The speaker is a director named Ren Jiayu. He debuted at the age of thirty. He is passionate, outgoing, and sincere. He is the mainstay of CCTV.
In fact, from the beginning, Ren Jiayu was particularly dissatisfied with Director Huang spending a high price of four million to buy a music variety show with an uncertain future produced by a private studio.
Although "Music Star" was recognized as a ratings satellite last year, Ren Jiayu has always believed that miracles cannot be replicated.
Furthermore, the domestic first-tier TV station Hunan Satellite TV invested tens of millions to create "Super Star", which is many times more than the investment in "The King of Masked Singer".
The giant crocodile is doomed, and how can the small fish and shrimp survive?
Setting up a challenge with a "super star" is like trying to shake a tree with a worm, and it will not lead to good results and is destined to be a failure.
Therefore, Ren Jiayu's heart was dark for a long time.
He was quite critical of Huang Tao. In the channel and among his colleagues, he also secretly criticized Director Huang's "generousness".
Even in the list of whistleblowers, he has a part.
But when he watched "The King of Masked Singer" with his own eyes, especially after the Disciplinary and Inspection Commission found no evidence of Huang Tao's money laundering, Ren Jiayu instantly developed a strong admiration for Director Huang's desperate move.
This is truly a desperate move!
Although "The King of Masked Singer" is well-produced, as a contracted producer and director of the channel, Ren Jiayu can see the extraordinary quality of this program at a glance, and firmly believes that this program is so novel and unique, and its production is excellent, so its ratings
If the rate is high, it is destined not to be very low.
But everything has surprises.
Once the ratings of "The King of Masked Singer" are poor, the only thing waiting for Huang Tao is to take the blame and resign.
In the news media world, everyone envies CCTV employees, not to mention Huang Tao, who was the channel director for one term.
To be able to climb to this position, Huang Tao did not know how many years he had spent and how much thought he had spent.
However, at this moment, if the building is about to collapse, if things turn to the bad side, Huang Tao can be said to be beyond redemption.
And at his age, there is no possibility of making a comeback.
What awaits him is most likely failure in the rest of his life.
Therefore, Ren Jiayu admired him very much. People without great perseverance would never be able to be as willful as Huang Tao, who risked his life on a variety show for the sake of the development of the channel!
Standing in the office hall, Ren Jiayu talked eloquently, his voice passionate and tragic, making all the employees feel sad.
Huang Tao saw it in his eyes and listened in his heart.
For a moment, he seemed much older.
After a long while, he pursed his lips, nodded, and forced a smile, but without saying anything else, he walked towards his office with his hands behind his back.
In the hall, everyone looked at each other, and one of the staff suddenly said.
"Boss, let's watch together?"
"Yes, boss, you haven't eaten yet? I'll order takeout for you!"
"In ten minutes, "The King of Masked Singer" will start airing, boss..."
"Boss..."
"Let's watch it together?"
Huang Tao paused, his originally stooped waist gradually straightened, he turned his head and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's watch together!"
There was a moment of cheers in the office.
"Haha, thank you boss!"
"Boss, I love you the most!"
"'The Masked Singer' will definitely be a hit with the ratings!"
