With greetings one after another, Chen Changshan, director of Dongshan Station, nodded to everyone with a gentle expression, and then stepped into an elevator.
Being alone in an elevator with the leader...
Except for the two tough men who followed Chen Changshan and squeezed in, everyone else wisely chose the next elevator.
In the elevator
Chen Changshan ignored the tough guy who revealed his true colors as soon as he entered the elevator. He huddled in a corner, pretending to be calm on the surface but actually panicking inside. He took out his mobile phone and browsed today's online news.
…
"Shocked, a man hired a prostitute online to find his wife, and the other party offered her 100 yuan an hour."
"Two guys made their own aphrodisiac potion, tried it on themselves, and had a seizure after drinking the potion"
"A boy used more than 100 live cockroaches to spell out "i love you" in his confession, but was flatly rejected"
"The little pig was lucky to be rescued from the fire, and half a year later he was made into sausages and given to the firefighters"
………
What is all this stuff?
Chen Changshan had a dark look on his face and was about to turn off his phone when a new piece of news caught his attention.
"Traffic King Ma Yibo joins hands with front-line niche students to create the urban reality-themed workplace drama "Hello, Intern""
Opening the news page, it turns out that Ma Yibo, one of the most popular celebrities in the entertainment industry, has started filming a new drama.
Chen Changshan narrowed his eyes, and instead of ignoring the news like before, he quickly searched the Internet for information about "Hello, Intern". The more he read, the more surprised he became.
"Hello, Intern" is a reality-themed urban drama created by the well-known entertainment company Tianyao. It is an out-and-out big production.
Tianyao Company revealed that the investment in this TV series is expected to exceed 100 million, and it specially invited Zhou Yan, a top famous director in the TV industry, to direct it personally. His production team is also Qing Yishui'er's first-line behind-the-scenes film and television boss.
Moreover, in addition to the reliable production team, the content of the script is also hard-hitting.
The script of "Hello, Intern" is adapted from last year's hit online article of the same name. It was co-created by the original author and a number of well-known screenwriters. It is said to have been widely praised by big names in the industry.
Claimed to perfectly combine artistic depth and commercial elements, it can be called a classic among fine products.
Such excellent drama content, excellent shooting guarantee, plus Ma Yibo, who is responsible for traffic in the entertainment industry, and other niche actors with considerable fans as supporting roles.
"Hello, Intern" became popular before it was aired.
This morning, as soon as the showrunners announced the launch news, the scarf was on two hot searches one after another, and there was endless news about it on major portals.
For any news related to "Hello, Intern", 90% of the comment areas are occupied by fans calling various "brothers and sisters".
It creates a scene where this drama is bound to explode.
…
As the director of a TV station, Chen Changshan is undoubtedly a professional, and he naturally knows the tricks that show producers use to promote film and television dramas.
But after all he understood, Chen Changshan was still tempted.
Because in his opinion, this "Hello, Intern" does have the potential to be a big hit!
Famous director, top traffic, well-known screenwriter, excellent production team, classic IP with a large audience, sufficient filming funds...
Various successful elements are piled together. No matter how you look at it, "Hello, Intern" has the signs of becoming a big hit.
Chen Changshan, who has always been decisive, thought he could give it a try. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he called Wang Xia, the person in charge of purchasing Dongshan TV dramas.
Ask her to pay more attention to the drama "Hello, Intern" and contact the producer appropriately. If the finished product is good, try to buy the premiere rights.
After making the call, Chen Changshan came to the office, turned on the computer, and was about to look up some more news about "Hello, Intern" when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Chen Changshan shouted and saw his secretary Zhang Yuan come in holding a document.
"Director, the TV Production Center has decided on the candidate for "New Power"."
"Oh, bring the documents over and let me take a look."
Chen Changshan raised his head, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said.
This time Dongshan TV launched the second phase of the "New Power" project. Other departments had submitted their candidates early, but Fang Weimin from the TV Production Center was still undecided.
The person in charge of approving candidates at the TV station urged him several times to no avail. Finally, he reported the matter to Chen Changshan. Then Chen Changshan personally called Fang Weimin and asked him to report the candidates as soon as possible.
Director Fang waited for another three days before reporting the candidates to Chen Changshan's secretary Zhang Yuan this morning.
When Chen Changshan heard that Fang Weimin, who had been hesitating for half a month, finally decided on the candidate, he couldn't help but be curious to see which talented person in the center had finally won the favor of Director Fang Da.
"Zuo Le?"
Opening the file, Chen Changshan was slightly startled when he saw this very unfamiliar name, and then carefully read the file about Zuo Le's resume and Fang Weimin's reasons for recommendation.
A few minutes later.
Chen Changshan closed the document and touched his nose with a wry smile: "This Fang Weimin has given me a difficult problem."
Zhang Yuan had read this document before, so he naturally knew what Chen Changshan was worried about. After hearing this, he advised: "Actually, Director, you don't need to worry. It's just a low-budget sitcom anyway. It's no problem for Zuo Le to write and direct it himself."
It’s not big, just think of it as training new people.”
"It's easy for you to say."
Chen Changshan frowned: "Taipei is currently in a period of transformation, and the situation is sensitive, especially for the self-produced dramas produced by the TV production center. Due to the poor reputation in ratings over the years, many people in the station have proposed to cut off the self-produced dramas.
All TV series are outsourced.
If Fang Weimin and Mo Tai hadn't jointly blocked it, the station would have started to reduce the number of self-produced dramas this year.
Otherwise, why do you think Fang Weimin delayed submitting the candidate for "New Power"? It's not that he was hesitant, but that he wanted to use this candidate to find a way out for the production center.
Now it seems that Zuo Le and "Underground Traffic Station" this time are the cards played by Fang Weimin.
If this deck of cards is played well, the production center will be more confident, and the opposition to self-produced dramas in the station will be weaker. But if the cards are played improperly, the production center may have an even harder road, even if it can barely keep filming self-produced dramas.
The resources given to the production center next year will also be significantly reduced."
Zhang Yuan didn't expect that there were such things in it, and the look on his face was obviously confused.
"Then what are you going to do, reject it?"
"Why reject?"
Chen Changshan glared at Zhang Yuan dissatisfied. His secretary was usually capable and had a shrewd personality, but sometimes his mind was inexplicably unclear.
In the words of young people, their IQ drops from time to time...
If Zhang Yuan hadn't been with him for a long time and was easy to use, Chen Changshan would really have wanted to change his secretary to a more clever one.
He looked at Zhang Yuan, who was still a little confused, and sighed: "There is no suitable reason, what words can I use to reject the candidate proposal.
Besides, since Lao Fang is willing to take a gamble on this Zuo Le, then the other party must be outstanding. Although I hope that the station will retain its own dramas, I cannot be too biased and let them do it on their own."
With that said, Chen Changshan handed the document to Zhang Yuan: "Tell Liu Chu that this Zuo Le will be listed as a priority training target for the second phase of "New Power", and the conditions for his resources can be appropriately...relaxed."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "I understand."
After that, he turned and left the office. Chen Changshan sat on the boss's chair and shook his head. He temporarily forgot about Zuo Le and continued to check "Hello, Intern" on the computer.
