Chapter 18: Taking Root

Previous Chapter

The time was the day before, September 30, 2005, in the afternoon.

Tanzhou City, Golden Eagle City.

A young man who looked to be in his twenties pushed open the office door and cautiously probed in, "Mr. Zhong, the director is looking for you." ”

Zhong Qin, who was sitting behind the desk, was still buried in the papers on the desk, just nodded lightly and said, "Well, I know, I'll go over later." ”

The office door closed again, and Zhong Qin put down the papers in his hand and looked up, his face full of sadness on a face that looked much younger than his real age.

Even if he didn't have to think about it, he could think that during this time period, the director came to him to talk about something.

Except for the show in his hand that was driven to the shelves, he has nothing else at hand that is worthy of the attention of the head of the station.

Since Huxiang Radio and Television Group underwent drastic reform and integrated resources at the beginning of the new century to establish Huxiang Radio, Film and Television Group, as the pioneers of this reform, Huxiang Satellite TV, Huxiang Economic Television and Huxiang Entertainment Channel have been named the "troika" of Huxiang TV by insiders. Privately, however, the relationship between the triumvirate is not as harmonious as outsiders know.

Huxiang Satellite TV, as the only star channel in the province, is naturally unshakable in its position as the leading boss. However, the position of the two in command is not so clear.

Whether it is a video channel or an entertainment channel, it can be called a strong strength. In fact, if it weren't for the restrictions of industry rules, these two channels would already have their own portals and become the capital of a star TV station.

Where there are people, there will be struggle, and this statement is an indisputable truth no matter what the situation is.

The cake is so big, and if you want to get better resource treatment and more lucrative interest reporting, you will naturally only be left with competition, the most concise and crude solution. This has also caused a situation in which the video channel and entertainment channels have been fighting each other for many years.

In the early stage of the competition, with the golden signboard of "Huanzhu Gege" and a series of popular programs such as "Lucky Sanqi 21", "True Love", "The More You Strategy, the Happier You Are", etc., the video channel can be said to have the upper hand, stabilizing the entertainment channel, and the limelight is very popular.

However, the good times did not last long, just last year, the entertainment channel completed a strong comeback through a "strategic nuclear weapon", overturned the suppression of the video channel, and achieved an overwhelming advantage in one fell swoop.

This "strategic nuclear weapon" is the "Super Girl" that detonated the whole country this year.

Now as long as the name of this popular talent show is mentioned, Zhong Qin feels a brain cramp, the one who knows you best is always your opponent, and now as Zhong Qin, who was pushed out by the station to fight with the entertainment channel, of course he knows how terrible his opponent is.

Difficulties can motivate people, but only if they can be solved by manpower.

Faced with this "miracle" known as the history of Chinese television, Zhong Qin said that the pressure was great.

Rubbing his temples to relieve the throbbing pain in his brain, Zhong Qin glanced at the messy planning on the table, and sighed on his back.

He got up from his chair, methodically gathered the papers scattered on his desk, stacked them neatly, and threw them in the trash.

Then he pushed the door open and walked out of the office, and in the middle of the hall, the group of subordinates who worked reflexively looked up at the sound, with doubt, nervousness, and even apprehension in their eyes.

Zhong Qin didn't say a word, nodded at them expressionlessly, turned around neatly, and walked firmly to the director's office at the other end of the corridor.

…………

"Director."

"Well, it's coming," Yan Zhonghua, who was sitting on the mahogany sofa, stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty seat opposite, "Come, come and sit." ”

Yan Zhonghua is a native of Fengcheng, Lingdong, and it is not a secret that he likes to drink tea and make tea. On weekdays, after work, he can often be seen fiddling with his beloved tea set in the office, and occasionally summoning senior executives to his office for regular meetings, and he will also make a tour of kung fu tea while listening to the work report.

When Zhong Qin came in, Yan Zhonghua had already completed a set of complicated processes, and the next step was to make tea.

Take out three teacups and place them on the tea tray in a zigzag shape, and lift the teacup to pour tea in a circle, so that each teacup is evenly filled, which is called "Guan Gong Patrol City".

"Come, try it, this is the Lushan Yunwu tea I picked up from a business trip to Xunyang some time ago, it tastes very good, and you may not be able to drink it elsewhere." Yan Zhonghua picked up a cup of tea soup and gently rested it in front of Zhong Qin, and said with a smile.

"Oh? Then I'm going to have to savor it. Zhong Qin picked up the teacup and smiled.

"Well, the fragrance is refreshing, the taste is sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste is endless, it is really a good tea!" Zhong Qin closed his eyes and his face was full of intoxication.

However, he didn't know much about tea, and he didn't drink much tea. It's just that everyone in the station basically knows that the director is a tea lover, and everyone will deliberately pretend to know this well, and Zhong Qin is no exception. The compliment was just a clichΓ© learned from elsewhere.

Yan Zhonghua was obviously very interested in this, and said happily, "Like it?" If you like it later, take some back from me. ”

"Then you're welcome, I'll take some more then." Zhong Qin said.

"Haha, no problem!" Yan Zhonghua Road.

After drinking the tea during the chat, Yan Zhonghua put down the teacup and moved the teacup back to its original position.

Seeing his posture, Zhong Qin knew that the gossip would end here, and it was time to talk about business. So he quietly put down the teacup and sat down.

Sure enough, Yan Zhonghua took a rag and wiped the tea tray at the same time, and at the same time said, "Old Zhong, how is the show in your hand going?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Difficulty? Stuck in program planning, is this considered difficult?

"I know that you have a lot of pressure and a heavy burden in this work, so if you have any difficulties, just raise them, and the station will definitely do their best to assist you." Yan Zhonghua said while packing up the tea set.

"No problem, no problem, everything goes well." Zhong Qin said continuously.

He can't say that in fact, our work is not much different from what we don't do, and we haven't even come up with a plan so far, right?

It's not just the show, it's estimated that his career will end here.

"That's good," Yan Zhonghua wiped his hands, "There has been a bit of an emergency in the station recently, Director Long's show may have to go offline early, what I mean is to let your show come up, you have to be prepared." ”

"Well, okay...... Yes? Zhong Qin's face changed, "What did you say, director?!" ”
