NBC's headquarters in New York.

After Howard, the chief producer of the talent show, received the video material from Robert, he couldn't wait to open it.

When he saw that Zhou Xing and his family were really like Robert described, they were so hung up from beginning to end, and they were also shocked, but after being surprised, he was also very excited.

This year, Howard is under great pressure to take charge of the talent show again, after all, the ratings have been declining year after year, although there are objective reasons, but in NBC, Howard can only be regarded as a middle-level, and there are a large number of high-level people above him.

The ratings declined, and Howard's boss naturally approached him more than once, although the words were quite polite, but Howard knew that if he continued to decline, he could only leave gloomily, or be transferred to another department, or...... Resign.

That's why Howard is leading the overhaul with division-to-main divisions and an additional $1 million in cash prizes.

Although this money is not a lot for the budget of the talent show every season, if the increase in money cannot curb the downward trend, it will also be a stain on him.

And it turns out that the effort is rewarded, Howard's efforts have made the year-on-year ratings of this season all exceed those of the previous season, and the audience's satisfaction has also rebounded significantly, so that Howard has finally raised his eyebrows.

However, after watching Zhou Xing's performance video this time, Howard was also full of surprises and became more curious about Zhou Xing as a contestant - even if he is a Chinese.

But in Howard's heart, as long as he can get the ratings, it doesn't matter if he is a Chinese or an American.

Looking at Zhou Xing, Howard couldn't help but think of another Chinese player, the one named Lin Xiao, because Lin Xiao was competing in New York, so Howard had seen him and felt very good.

In fact, if there is no Zhou Xing, Howard thinks that Lin Xiao may be the champion this year, and he can be in the top three at the worst, after all, in addition to strength, Lin Xiao has gone all the way, and NBC Vice President Wendy's questioning, so that Howard has to pay attention.

After all, Wendy is one of the bigwigs of the TV station and is completely capable of deciding his fate.

"Unexpectedly, this year's talent show has become a stage for two Chinese people, which is interesting. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Howard's mouth, but then he became a little annoyed, because he still hadn't figured out the relationship between Lin Xiao and Wendy, which made him unable to determine how much attention he paid to Lin Xiao, whether to enter the top three or make him a champion.

Wendy didn't say it explicitly, and Howard didn't ask much, but now Zhou Xing's performance, judging from Howard's years of experience in TV program production, he knows that Zhou Xing is definitely very potential, if it weren't for Lin Xiao, just looking at the voting in the Los Angeles Division, he knew that he was very likely to become the champion of the finals - whether he played piano or kung fu, because for the audience, this stunt has a fatal attraction.

But now, Lin Xiao has Wendy's relationship, which makes Howard a little undecided, and then after thinking about it, he decided to report this Zhou Xing's situation to Wendy and see what she means.

Then Howard went to Wendy's office with the video materials of Zhou Xing's preliminary round, semi-finals and this final.

As an executive of NBC, and in charge of TV program production, Wendy has the highest position among several vice presidents, and is second only to the president among NBC executives.

Wendy's office is large and located on the rooftop, with a large curved floor-to-ceiling glass that offers a wide view of the city.

Hearing the secretary's report through the insider, Wendy replied, "Let him in." ”

The secretary then brought Howard into the office.

When he came here, Howard didn't face Robert's casualness and became restrained: "Hello, Ms. Wendy. ”

Only then did Wendy withdraw her gaze from the papers on the table, looked up at Robert, pointed to the chair in front of her, and smiled, "Sit down." ”

is in her forties, and she is good at maintenance, this age is the time for her to exude mature charm, coupled with her status as a superior, this smile makes Howard's heart skip a beat, even if he is older than Wendy, he still can't help but be excited.

Many veteran employees in NBC know that the reason why Wendy was able to rise to power so quickly was because Wendy had a boyfriend with an NBC shareholder, and it didn't take long for her to fall under her pomegranate dress.

Of course, as a TV industry, there are too many beautiful women, and there are many people who are more beautiful than Wendy, and she can get this far, and she definitely can't rely entirely on her former boyfriend, and her own ability is not bad.

Over the years, as Wendy's position has become higher and higher, there is no one to talk about this kind of lace news about her, after all, beauty is also a kind of ability, plus Wendy's work over the years is indeed obvious to all, so people can't find fault with it.

"What's the matter?" Wendy's style is vigorous in the stage, and she is also busy all day, so she doesn't have time to say anything to Howard.

Howard came back to his senses and quickly said, "Oh, that's right. ”

As he spoke, Howard told Zhou Xing about his situation.

NBC has so many channels and so many programs, Wendy, as the vice president in charge of TV program production, naturally can't pay attention to every one, if it weren't for Lin Xiao, she wouldn't have had time to pay attention to this show.

Of course, even if Wendy watched it, she only watched a little bit of the New York Division occasionally, and it was all about Lin Xiao.

Naturally, Wendy didn't know Zhou Xing.

In fact, as Howard, he is not qualified to find Wendy directly, if it weren't for the fact that the talent show is NBC's signature and his status in the stage is transcendent, Howard really wouldn't have a chance to face Wendy directly.

Wendy was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to get interesting: "Oh, is it? Another Chinese came out, and he got the highest number of votes for our talent show in the 12 years since it was launched?"

Howard nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that with his performance, if there are no accidents, there is a good chance that he will become the champion this year." ”

As he spoke, Howard had been paying attention to Wendy's expression, and he had thought of it before he came.

It's just that Wendy couldn't let Howard see what she really thought in her heart, and smiled: "What are you doing watching me all the time? Are you worried about Lin Xiao?"

As he spoke, Wendy stroked his hair and said lightly: "He is my son's classmate, so I naturally have to pay attention to it, and as for the game, it depends on him." ”

Wendy herself relied on this relationship to get to the top, she knew in her heart that if Lin Xiao really became a champion, she would probably be out of her control after becoming popular, for this little man from Huaxia, she still likes it more now, naturally she will not let go easily, naturally, Lin Xiao does not need to be too popular, she has always relied on herself to meet her own needs.

Hearing Wendy say this, Howard also understood, so he asked, "Do you want to watch the video of Zhou Xing's game?"
