On a mid-June afternoon, the office is full of people, the sweltering heat is like a lingering fly, and the oppressive and serious indoor atmosphere makes people nervous and dare not make a sound. Old-fashioned electric fans hung from the ceiling and creaked and swayed, bringing wind that was better than nothing. The early cicadas on the street trees outside the window sang diligently, not knowing what the noise meant. Lee Tae-heon, the main PD of the transparent program group, sat on the main seat, his brows furrowed, and his face was worried.

"Li PD, how are the ratings of this issue?" A deputy PD sitting nearby asked cautiously.

"You don't need to ask, just look at Li PD's face, it must have fallen again." The female writer sitting opposite said angrily, leaning her chin on the table, and continued with frustration, "From the beginning of the broadcast to the present, a total of three episodes of the program have been broadcast, and none of the ratings of one program have exceeded five percent, not to mention, and even to maintain stability, from four percent to three percent, if it continues, even three percent will fall below it, right?" ・・・・・・Li PD, you said that if it continues like this, will the show be canceled by the TV station, won't we have to lose our jobs then?" It's not an official compilation, so if you leave this show, where can you find the next show right away! Really, what to do! ”

The writer said, lying on the table with a sad face, and many of the people around her also showed worried looks, obviously they also had the same worries. The ratings of the sluggish program are like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads, making people sleepless and worried. After all, like Lee Tae-heon, who has the official establishment of a TV station and does not have to worry about the change of a program, it is only a small number of people present.

"Why are you all looking like this, the show hasn't been canceled yet! Isn't it that the ratings are lower now, so what is there to worry about, it's just that the broadcast started! As long as everyone works hard and comes up with good ideas, with our member lineup and the theme of the program, it will definitely become popular, don't be discouraged, you have to have confidence in our program, you know? ”

Seeing that everyone's confidence was shaken, Lee Tae-hun, as the main PD of the show, couldn't sit still, pulled up his face and shouted loudly, boosting morale, then threw down the documents in his hand, leaned back in the chair and thought for a while, and said, "Now, the situation is indeed very unfavorable, but the more difficulties we face, the more we must unite, work together, and work together to improve the program and get better ratings." Don't hang your head one by one, like the end of the world, if it goes on like this, how can you increase the ratings, how can you make interesting programs? ”

Li Taixian paused when he said this, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, and found that the cup was empty, so he raised his hand with Jiang Zhican, who was sitting by the door, and handed out the cup, "Zhican, pour me a glass of water." ”

"Oh, okay." Jiang Zhican, who was sitting with a vertical electric fan and was playing with the fan outside, nodded, got up and took the cup, and walked to the water dispenser in the corner.

"Well, now everyone comes to talk about their thoughts and opinions, and if they have any good ideas, they will put them forward. Well, Zhemin, you are my deputy, you can talk about it first! Lee Tae-hun looked around, and when he saw that everyone lowered their heads, he turned his gaze to Song Zhemin, the deputy PD who had asked him about the ratings earlier, and waved his hand.

"Uh, this." Song Zhemin, who couldn't refuse, touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "I think the theme of our show is very good and creative, but when it is specifically combined with variety shows to be funny, because the company employees are ordinary people, it is difficult to achieve enough program effect." Well, in terms of the format of the program, I also think it seems too simple and needs to be improved・・・・・・ in short, it is to maximize the funny skills of the program members and show the workplace reality show more novelly. ”

"Then you say, how should we give full play to the funny skills of the members, and in what form should we use to show our show more innovatively?" Lee Tae-hun asked with a frown.

"This, uh, in fact, I haven't thought about it, I'm still thinking about it・・・・・・" Song Zhemin smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. Lee Tae-hun sighed helplessly, looked at the main photographer again, and asked if he had any good ideas.

"How to say, because it's shooting indoors, in fact, more often rely on fixed cameras, as far as my personal feeling is concerned, maybe I can do some work on capturing the picture, but in other aspects, I don't have too many ideas for the time being, and I can't make any suggestions."

"Yes, I see." Li Tae-hun sighed, asked a few more people present, but did not get a satisfactory answer, and finally looked at Jiang Zhichan, who was sitting in the last seat, thought for a while and asked, "Zhichan, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Me?" Kang Zhichan was taken aback, and wanted to stand up to answer, but was motioned by Lee Tae-hun to sit back, and then hesitated, he said, "Actually, I have always been in charge of the post-production of picture editing and subtitle settings, and I haven't thought too much about the format and shooting of the program, so I may not be able to give too good advice・・・・・・

"It's okay, you say, focus on discussion and improvement, don't worry about the quality of the opinion." Lee Tae-hun waved his hand and said, his heart sank again. Do you really want to use the method you have in mind? It's too hard to make up your mind!

"Then I'll talk about how I felt when I watched the original tape, well, how to say it, that is, I think the pictures we shot seem to be a little too ordinary, there is no sense of novelty, and there is no difference from the scenes in the company that everyone saw in the past, it seems too ordinary, and it lacks the impact of a variety show・・・・・・"

"Huh?" Li Taixian suddenly sighed lightly, showing a thoughtful look, and then saw Jiang Zhichan stop and look at him, and immediately smiled, "It's okay, you continue to talk, it's very interesting." ”

"Oh, okay." Jiang Zhican nodded, with some confidence, "Later, I thought about how to make the picture novel and attractive, and I also went to some other variety shows to watch, and unexpectedly found something that seemed to be able to help our show become more interesting and new." ”

"yes, what's that?" Lee Tae-hun couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's a prop." Jiang Zhican said seriously.

Prop?

There was a light laugh in the audience, and someone said: "Zhican, our show is a workplace reality show, and it originally used the props of the company's workplace, if you use props again, is it still a workplace reality show?" ”

Jiang Zhican was embarrassed when he heard this, indeed, he himself had doubts in this regard, and felt that it was not too good to use props, but since it had been said now, and it was just a discussion, he didn't explain much, and it was up to Li Taexian to decide whether it was good or bad.

"I think it's good for Naocan to mention the idea of using props. Well, plus the set, create different scenes in the company where you are filming, and then play games with the workplace staff, or ・・・・・・ a sitcom? Interesting, isn't it? ”

Li Taixian thought about it for a while, and with many years of experience in variety shows, he gave his own evaluation and opinions. Everyone was silent when they heard the words, the original frolicking sound fell silent, everyone looked left and right, and Song Zhemin as the representative confirmed: "Li PD, did you really decide to use props and sets, starting from the next issue?" ”

"Well, it's decided first, and I'll talk to Hudong and them in the evening and listen to their opinions. Oh, by the way, Xiaolin, who is the guest in the next issue, are you sure? Li Taixian nodded, and asked Jin Xiaolin, who was in charge of foreign affairs.

"No, the other party rejected all the invitations sent out on the grounds of itinerary conflicts. Li PD, I'm worried about this now, which artist should I find? Now that the ratings of our show are so low, no one wants to come・・・・・・"

Jin Xiaolin complained in a low voice, Li Tae-hun's expression became a little unnatural, as the main PD of the show, the program in charge was actually downtrodden to the point that no artist was willing to come, this was really a strong slap, which made him feel that his cheeks were hot and painful. Song Zhemin grabbed Jin Xiaolin with great insight, lest she sprinkle salt on Li Taixian's wound again, and then smiled and comforted Li Taixian:

"Li PD, there is still time now, don't worry, after all, it is your face and Hudong xi, hahaxi and their connections, guests, there will always be when the time comes, don't worry, don't worry."

"Yes, I know. Okay, it's okay, just break up. Lee Tae-hun picked up the cup and took a sip of water, leaning back a little irritably, and sighing depressedly. Everyone quickly got up and left, only Jiang Zhichan stood by the door, looking like he wanted to say something, which made Li Taexian very funny. He looked at Jiang Zhican, beckoned to him, and asked, "Please have something to ask me?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Zhichan nodded.

"Let's talk about it." Lee Tae-hun said briskly.

"It's about the guests, I have a Nuna who wants to participate in our show, and in terms of time, she can just participate in the recording of the next show, so I think, if I can, uh・・・・・・" Jiang Zhican said in the period, not used to asking people for things, and her face looked a little thin.

"Oh, you're an artist, who's that?" Lee Tae-hun continued to drink the water, and asked indifferently, just as a little artist, with the help of his PD brother on the TV station to participate in the show, to increase his popularity. For this kind of thing, he has long been used to it, if his show is very popular, he may not agree to Jiang Zhican's request, but now・・・・・・ he secretly thinks to himself, as long as he is not an artist with bad conduct, it is negotiable.

"Her name is Xu Xian." Jiang Zhican said quickly.

"Well, Seo Hyun, is it an actor or a singer or a group idol?" Lee Tae-hun then asked.

"It's idol, Girls' Generation's busy, Seo Hyun."

"Poof! What the?! Seo Hyun, is that Seo Hyun whose real name is Seo Joo-hyun?! Li Taexian stumbled backwards, the water in his mouth spurted out, staring at Jiang Zhican with wide eyes in disbelief, and asked loudly.

"Yes・・・・・・・ yes." Kang Ji-chan was a little startled by Lee Tae-hun's exaggerated reaction, and he affirmed it after a while.

"Telephone, call now and confirm the itinerary for the day of the 21st!" Lee Tae-hun hurriedly put down the cup, picked up the land-mounted phone on the table, handed the microphone to Jiang Zhican, and urged eagerly.

"You have to use your phone, Li PD, I won't answer strange calls." Jiang Zhican put down the microphone embarrassedly, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said.

"Oh yes, I'm confused! Hurry up, by the way, be reserved, don't be too eager, just be a little embarrassed with that kind of ・・・・・・, and then say that the show owner PD agreed, you understand? Don't you need me to explain? ”

"Eun, I know." Kang Zhichan smiled and nodded, dialed Seo Hyun's phone, while Lee Tae-hun picked up the chair on the ground, pretended to sit indifferently, held the cup in both hands, looked out the window, and only used the corner of his eye to pay attention to Jiang Zhichan's expression and the call.

The phone ended quickly, and Jiang Zhican only said a few good things, and there was no specific news that could be heard from his mouth. Li Taixian couldn't help but be a little anxious, turned his head to stare at Jiang Zhican, and when he saw his embarrassed face, he couldn't help but sink his heart, and asked in a trembling voice: "Has things changed?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Zhichan nodded.

"Ah, really, call Ah Zhichan again, and tell you Nuna, it's not you Nuna! Please, coquettish, why don't you want to let Nuna vacate your schedule to participate in our show! Don't be as reserved as just now, just say anything good, agree to any conditions, and make sure you Nuna come to our show! This popularity is a huge treasure! ”

Li Taexian looked anxious, and urged repeatedly, only to snatch Jiang Zhican's mobile phone and go into battle in person. Jiang Zhichan was a little dazed, looking at Li Tae-hun's appearance, and after a while, he explained with a smile: "Li PD, you misunderstood, it's not that I, Nuna, said I wouldn't participate, it's just that I, Nuna, said I wanted to come with her Ernie, so, I just want to ask you, can you ・・・・・・"

"Ernie her, who is she?" Lee Tae-hun forced down the heart that was about to jump out of his chest, and tried to calm his voice and asked.

"Lin Yun'er xi."

"Nao-chan! I've recruited you into the group, it's really the wisest decision I've made in recent times! ”

Lee Tae-hun screamed, hugged Kang Ji-chan violently, and shouted with a wild laugh. Jiang Zhican twisted his arm uncomfortably, and laughed helplessly, it seems that the ultra-low ratings will really make a person crazy! Even a calm person like Li PD has been forced to be like this. It's just that Lin Yun'er didn't know what he thought of・・・・・・ he collapsed his shoulders, showed a depressed expression, and sighed unnoticedly.

PS: Actually, to some extent, when it comes to the previous chapter, this volume is over. From chapter 70 to chapter 1, the story is probably the mental journey of an emotional chick, from expansion to cooling, similar to an iron smelting.
