As a 45-year-old photographer, Lao Zhou is actually in prime time.
I have rich experience in shooting various programs and have many subordinates. I don’t need to do some rough work myself because the director can speak to me.
In terms of pure income, Lao Zhou's income has tripled compared to when he was in the TV station, and this does not include bonuses.
The workplace has also changed a lot.
When I was at the TV station, most of them were in the studio. Sometimes I would catch up with several people a day, and sometimes I would only have one person every few days.
I remember that when I was an apprentice, I was on the set of a TV series, and most often I would ride in the master's truck and travel around the country.
I was young at that time, and although it was very difficult, I was envied by others because I could travel everywhere for free.
As time goes by, the master gets older, he grows up, and he can master the machine by himself.
Maybe he was not smart enough, and all the people he knew set up their own studios or joined large companies. Only Lao Zhou returned to Rongcheng and joined Minjiang TV Station, where he worked for a long time.
According to Lao Zhou's character, he was originally a talkative person. He regarded work as just work. Over the years, he became reticent.
I often come home and can't even say a few words to my family, which makes my wife and children quite worried.
Three years ago, a life-changing decision was placed in front of Lao Zhou.
Continue to stay at the TV station, repeat the work day after day, of course there is a chance of promotion, earn a not-so-high salary, and pay off the mortgage, maybe for the rest of my life.
Or follow that young man who suddenly appears.
Within a week, a few unknown network anchors won the first place in the late night slot, and then they took advantage of the victory and immediately revamped it into a completely different program.
Forget it, he also produced "The Masked Singer" at eight o'clock on weekends, which directly won the ratings championship and became very popular for a while.
Later, Director Jiang Shan temporarily resigned and a new director took office. As a result, the fire was spread to the wrong people. It was rumored that Su Yan left on his own. As an internal staff member and the backbone of the program, Lao Zhou naturally knew all about it.
At that time, I felt secretly regretful that Sister Hong, Wang Yangyang, Chen Jianshu and the others had expressed their intention to leave together.
To be honest, Lao Zhou was also a little moved, but when he thought of the pressure and burden on his body, he still couldn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, I originally thought that after Su Yan left, he would definitely join another TV station immediately. After all, opening a studio requires too many connections and financial resources, and it would be difficult for him as a young man who just debuted.
But this young director didn't follow the routine at all. He lost his voice and disappeared for half a year.
Through Wang Yangyang, I found out that he took his parents on a trip directly. He was really young and willful.
Lao Zhou couldn't help but think of how when he was young, he seemed to be struggling for thousands of yuan in living expenses. This is really incomparable.
Then, Su Yan quickly joined the Qinghe Impression established by Huang Lei, which surprised many people in the industry.
Qinghe, no matter how you look at it, is a traditional economic company. It is only responsible for the announcement management of artists. This does not fit well with Su Yan.
Then, the formal invitation was sent.
Several people who had followed Su Yan before had received the invitation, including Lao Zhou himself.
Wang Yangyang, Chen Jianshu, and Sister Hong agreed immediately.
Lao Zhou and another writer are considering it.
As for the problem of worry, it is very simple. You can have a stable job in a TV station, but you will not be hungry.
But if you really want to go out, there are risks.
As an old acquaintance, Sister Hong naturally knew the situation at his home, so she did not try to persuade him. After all, she was not sure that it would be better if he went out.
Although Su Yan has produced several good programs in a row, who dares to say that the next one will take off? After all, there was a TV station before, but now it is just a company.
After a few days of careful consideration and a lot of hair loss, Lao Zhou had a showdown with his wife.
Do you want to go or not?
Contrary to what he expected, his wife, who has always been a family-oriented person, did not persuade him to stay and be stable.
What he said made Lao Zhou realize that he was a fan of the authorities.
After joining Su Yan's group and spending 100,000 yuan to create the first episode of the program, he also thought about whether he could do it if he were himself.
Facts have proved that watching too many pigs running is not very useful. I have contacted many directors and learned a lot, but I really want to do it, haha.
He experienced what happened next, and before he knew it, he talked more, whether on the TV station or at home.
All they talked about was what happened to the program today and what happened to Director Su Yan.
The virtuous wife saw all this and knew about Su Yan.
But later, director Su Yan left, and it seemed that Lao Zhou had returned to his original rhythm. It seemed that this young man's influence was really quite big.
I secretly talked to Sister Hong, and then I realized that Lao Zhou can have autonomy in the new show. He doesn't have to just listen to the director's arrangements. He also has a younger brother below who can contribute his own efforts to the show.
Therefore, she has been waiting for Lao Zhou to take the initiative to express his stance to her, and she is willing to stand behind him and support him.
Soon, Lao Zhou and several colleagues packed up and flew to Shanghai.
Then he created the variety show "Run!" that promoted Wanbei Satellite TV to the first tier.
Moreover, after joining the company, not only did his income increase, but he also said that he could not go home at all. Especially when he was filming "Three Meals a Day", his high school son asked him strangely: Dad, are you back again?
I can see you every day.
Lao Zhou was so angry that he almost got slapped. If I come back to see you two, I will still be disliked, right?
That's not even a big deal. There are still many headhunting companies poaching me, and the salaries they offer are a bit scary. In the past, I could even hold a position like a director.
But this is all clouds.
Seeing the current company, the current boss obviously has a bright future and everyone is trying to get in. Who is willing to leave?
However, Lao Zhou, who was supposed to be going well, encountered trouble today.
"Catching the tail" is the content of this challenge. As usual, he will be joined by the new member, no, it should be said that it is the new cooperative member Yang Di.
Because Teacher Huang Lei, Xiao Nanyuan and others will have directors to follow them, so even if the photographer has any problems, they can help solve them immediately.
However, when Yang Di appeared in front of him and the writer handed over the task card.
Yang Di doesn’t know what to do?
He was stunned!
I can’t play anymore!
"Then what should I do now? I don't know where Maki is? Can you tell me?"
Looking at the helpless Yang Di in front of the camera, who had been struggling for ten minutes and still hadn't moved his position, Lao Zhou wished he could slap the camera in his face.
Why can't we learn from Xiao Nanyuan, Chen Chichi and the others?
