Chapter 16 Television Production Centers in Crisis
August 24, 2015, 10 a.m
Director Chen Changshan personally presided over the meeting of senior leaders of Dongshan TV Station in the conference room of Dongshan Radio and Television Station Building.
The main agenda of the meeting of senior leaders of Dongshantai is to discuss the specific development direction of Taili in the second half of the year and to implement the work arrangements of various departments according to the results of the meeting.
The two deputy directors Mo Dashan and Wu Mao, and the heads of various departments of Dongshan TV Station all attended the meeting.
In fact, Chen Changshan wanted to convene this meeting as early as July, but for some reasons and some people's resistance to prevarication, it has been delayed until now.
Even if it weren't for Chen Changshan's prestige as the director of the station and the various achievements he had made since he took office, suppressing all the voices of opposition, this meeting might continue to be delayed.
............
"Ahem. ”
Chen Changshan sat in the main seat of the conference room, looked at the two deputy directors with different expressions, one on the left and one on the right, coughed lightly, and went straight to the topic without too many words.
"In the first half of this year, two new variety shows were launched in the station, and two old programs with a good reputation were revised, and the overall results were good, the ratings have also risen steadily, and the advertising revenue has also increased significantly compared with the past.
Jiang Hao, your variety show department has done a good job, but you must not be complacent, make persistent efforts, and strive to continue to climb on the original achievements in the second half of the year. ”
After receiving the praise of the director, Jiang Hao, the person in charge of the variety show department, smiled, got up and thanked Chen Changshan for his affirmation of the work of the variety show department, and specially pointed out a few highlights of their variety show department in the first half of the year to make a report.
Finally, Jiang Hao, on behalf of all the staff of the variety show department, expressed his attitude to Chen Changshan that they will definitely work together to create their own ace variety show that belongs to Dongshan Channel, and live up to the high expectations of the station for them.
Fang Weimin scribbled twice on the notes with a gel pen in his hand, glanced at Jiang Hao, who was smiling so much that he couldn't open his eyes, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
What's the big deal!
Several programs with good ratings, except for one "Happy Dream Show", which is led by themselves, the rest are all purchased variety shows.
Now that the cowhide is blowing so big, in case people don't sell your show next year, I'll see what you do!
Director Fangda, this is completely "groundless".
There must be restrictions on the purchase of variety shows by TV stations, otherwise the program will become popular and the variety show defects to the enemy station, so the original TV station will not become a big wrongdoer.
The official energy that provincial TV stations can use is not small, and entertainment companies dare to play this trick with them unless they don't want to get mixed up.
It's not uncommon for variety shows to jump ship, but they are definitely amicable and peaceful, tearing their faces and hardening, and they generally disappear.
............
Leaving aside Director Fang's slander in his heart, Director Chen Changshan continued to follow his own meeting process.
News Center, Personnel Department, Propaganda Department, Finance Department, Social Education Center, Literature and Art Center, Advertising Department, Technology Department, Satellite Transmission Center, ............
All departments were ordered by Chen Changshan in turn, and in the end, only Fang Weimin was in charge of the TV production center and Wang Xia was in charge of the procurement department, which was not mentioned by him.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant!
Many department heads glanced at each other and knew that the drama of this meeting was coming.
In terms of the qualifications and proportions of various departments of Dongshan Station, the TV production center is undoubtedly the leader in the head, although it has declined a little over the years, but the foundation is still there, and it is barely in the forefront.
The purchasing department, a new department that was established just a few years ago, was initially just a small transparent department, and had no say in Taiwan at all.
It wasn't until last year that Deputy Director Wu Mao proposed a strategy of purchasing dramas with a lot of money, and the purchasing department took advantage of this shareholder wind to rise rapidly, and now there is a faint state of being a latecomer.
Coincidentally, at the same time, these two departments each represent the two attitudes of Dongshan TV towards the planned deployment of TV dramas.
Purchased dramas VS self-made dramas
So far, the self-made dramas represented by the TV production center have completely fallen into the upper hand, and they are even in danger of being laid off from the entire department, but fortunately, Mo Dashan, the deputy director of the production center, is in the background and barely maintains the situation.
However, the purchasing department is not dry, Wang Xia saw that Mo Dashan supported the production center, and turned around and took the procurement department to take refuge with Wu Maowu, deputy director.
The proposal to purchase dramas with a lot of money originally came from Wu Mao's mouth, and the rise of the procurement department was inseparable from Wu Mao's support.
The cooperation between the two sides is quite deep, and Lang You's concubine has long been interested, so without too much hesitation, Deputy Director Wu accepted the refuge of the procurement department, and then took action to face Mo Dashan.
The purchasing department has achievements, speaks with a hard waist and full of confidence.
Although the TV production center has not been able to achieve results in recent years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the qualifications and connections are all over the Dongshan TV station, and even the provincial propaganda mouth has many of them.
As a result, so far, although the production center has lost to the strong purchasing department, it has not reached the point of collapse across the board.
The two sides began a difficult tug-of-war!
...............
However, since it is a battle, there must be a day when it will end.
As the director of the station, Chen Changshan didn't want to see internal friction within the station due to disagreements at the critical moment of Dongshan TV's reform, so he wanted to take advantage of this senior leadership meeting to clearly decide the main development policy of Dongshan TV dramas in the future.
The two deputy directors and the responsible persons of various departments were well aware of what Chen Changshan meant, so some people delayed the convening of this meeting in every possible way, hoping to change the situation on the other side at this time.
Unfortunately, even after an additional month, there has been no significant change in the situation.
Therefore, when everyone saw Chen Changshan put the TV production center and the purchasing department at the end of this meeting, everyone had a faint feeling in their hearts.
What Chen Changshan is about to say will become a turning point in the tug-of-war between "purchased dramas VS self-made dramas", which has caused a sensation in the tug-of-war between the entire Dongshan Terrace!
Looking at Chen Changshan, who was sitting on the main seat and was considering his tone, Fang Weimin's heart was nervous.
Even though the central air conditioning of the conference room was above his head, sweat was still oozing from his nose and forehead, and he reached out to loosen the tie tied around his neck.
Wang Xia of the purchasing department was not in a relaxed mood, her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the notebook in front of her, and the wide-rimmed glasses that had almost sunk to the bridge of her nose were not in the mood to help, waiting for Chen Changshan's final "verdict" wholeheartedly.
............
“...... The station is preparing to purchase 4 to 6 TV dramas in the second half of the year, mainly broadcast in the prime time and sub-prime time in the evening, and the procurement department should do a good job in the selection and dig out the high-quality drama ......... for the station as much as possible.
The rest of the words, Fang Weimin couldn't hear clearly.
He saw that Wang Xia was so excited that he almost knocked off his glasses, and then forced the town to express his determination to Chen Changshan.
Without a mirror, Fang Weimin knew how ugly his face was now, just like Deputy Director Mo not far from him.
Does the station really want to give up the production center that has created countless glories for the TV station?
Fang wanted to shoot the case and loudly questioned the director Chen Changshan, but he didn't, because he knew it was useless.
Before this, Mo Dashan had already photographed the table more than once, but in this case, the production center was not as good as others, and there were not enough achievements to support it.
In the subsequent meeting, Fang Weimin did not take any action, even if Chen Changshan approved that the new self-made drama of the production center could be broadcast first during the day as compensation, he just said a few words and said no more.
The insipid attitude made the participants frequently look sideways.
Lao Fang is cold-hearted.........
Mo Dashan, who knew the character of his old subordinate, felt very uncomfortable, but he was not easy to oppose Chen Changshan's decision.
The people did not give up the production center, and took the initiative to leave a prime time for the self-made drama.
Mo Dashan knew in his heart that this was already the limit of what Chen Changshan, the director of the station, could do, after all, the director of the station was the number one of the TV stations, and he was responsible for the entire Dongshan station, and he would not favor a certain department for some reason.
The capable go up, and the mediocre go down.
This is the same truth!
Chen Changshan did not wipe out the production center, and still retained part of the hope of self-made dramas, which was already very much to give him face as the deputy director and Fang Weimin.
Mo Dashan is not a person who doesn't know what to do and what to do.
Therefore, even though he understood that after the meeting, the television production center would be in an unprecedented embarrassing situation, he still did not speak out against Chen Changshan's decision at the meeting............
