Chapter 64: The Scheme
"Director Zhao, I heard Brother Zhou say that you are looking for me?" After Li Bai left the hospital, he came directly to CCTV and found Zhao Weiguang.
"Xiao Li, I do have something to look for you." Zhao Weiguang said with a solemn expression.
"You're going to talk about the Spring Festival Gala, right? I've been busy lately, and I don't have much spare time to do this, so I just took the time to put together a brief outline last night, you can take a look. "This is still printed out by Li Bai who went to the office just now, the older generation pays attention to hard work, and if there is no such thing, it is useless to say it no matter how good it is.
"I'm not busy with this, I'm not talking about this matter." Zhao Weiguang took Jian Gang and flipped it casually a few times, and then put it down. With a serious expression, he said to Li Bai: "Come and see this!" ”
Li Bai picked up the envelope thrown by Zhao Weiguang and opened it suspiciously. I saw that there was a stack of photos inside, and the person in the photo was himself.
Seeing the familiar scene in the photo, Li Bai remembered, wasn't this what happened when he met Luo Chao that day? The photo shows that he is receiving the check handed over by Luo Chao, and it doesn't look like he has repaired, and even he can't help but believe it. I remember that the real situation at that time was Luo Chao's stuffing, and he didn't take the second check himself, how did it become like this.
"Director Zhao, I really don't have a ...... about this"
"Haha, Xiao Li, don't be nervous." Zhao Weiguang suddenly laughed, in fact, he was just teasing Li Bai just now, and he had already understood what had happened.
"Director Zhao, what's going on?" Li Bai asked puzzledly.
"You're still doing the show, don't you even know about the misplaced shooting? That Xiao Luo is looking for someone to take pictures, and wants to use this method to force you to submit, and if he doesn't succeed, he plans to ruin you and your show. However, his assistant was too stupid and sent it to the Yenching Times. They didn't dare to report it at all, so they sent me all the photos. Zhao Weiguang explained. After all, it is related to the reputation of CCTV, and the general media dare not report it indiscriminately.
"I really didn't expect that, how could there be such a person?" Li Bai said helplessly, feeling that he was still not careful enough, and almost fell into the road.
"You don't have to worry too much, I've got you covered. That Luo Chao and his assistant were also fired. Because he has some relationships, it's not good to pursue it too much, and that's the only way to go. Zhao Weiguang said apologetically.
"Director Zhao, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be annoyed. Thank you so much, it's good that there's no need to kill them all. Li Bai said sincerely.
"Okay, you're good!" Zhao Weiguang nodded with satisfaction, it is rare for young people to have such an open-minded personality now. How did he know that what Li was thinking in his heart was: The coming day will be long.
"That's right, Director Zhao. I have some ideas to share with you. Li Bai threw out the question he had been pondering recently.
"What thoughts, you say?" Zhao Weiguang asked curiously.
"I want to integrate ethnic things into the Spring Festival Gala, such as cross talk, quyi, songs, acrobatics, etc., and will introduce some new performance types, such as magic, song and dance, sketches, etc." Li Bai said seriously.
"But many of these can't be elegant. Take cross talk and two-person turns, many of the jokes are too meaty, and they are not suitable for broadcast on formal occasions at all, let alone facing the national live broadcast program. Many performance forms are not suitable for stage performances, the forms are too complicated, and the props and lighting are not easy to meet, and the performance form of your sketch is the first time I have heard of it. So I can't accept this idea. Zhao Weiguang said questioningly.
"Old Zhao, vulgarity is elegance, you old-timer don't even understand this? I was going to have a big integration at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala next year, but since you don't believe it, then I'll do it on Yanjing Satellite TV this year. I'll show you how I've put what you think is vulgar on stage. Li Bai was a little anxious, and his title changed. Is the Spring Festival Gala still called the Spring Festival Gala without these elements, at most it is a symposium, and it is better called a concert.
"Then I'll leave it to you, and let my old fellow open his eyes." Zhao Weiguang said with a smile, this kid is usually very old-fashioned, but he didn't expect some things to be so insistent. He knew that Li Bai was talented, but his personality was a little lazy, so he deliberately provoked him to work harder.
"Well, see you in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. I'm sorry just now, I'm emotional! Li Bai said apologetically, always feeling that something was wrong in his heart.
"Okay, it's okay, don't worry, do it boldly. With us old guys to sweep the battle for you, don't worry too much. Zhao Weiguang stood up, patted Li Bai's shoulder and said. After chatting, he personally sent Li Bai out of the door.
Li Bai stood alone in the corridor and suddenly realized. It seems that he has fallen for Lao Zhao's agitation method, this is his signature skill, why is he impulsive. Now the routine of the Yanjing Spring Festival Gala has to be completely changed, fortunately, preparations have not yet begun, otherwise it will be a big trouble. smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It seems that ginger is still old and spicy. Suddenly remembered that Director Zhao seemed to have mentioned the two of them just now, could it be that there is also Zhao Laogen and Xiao Shenyang in this world? Looks like I'll have to find someone to find out more about it.
"Brother Bai!"
"Wang Zheng? How are you here. ”
"Big brother, I'm an employee here, where can I go if I'm not here?"
"Oh, I'm a little dizzy, I forgot to be on CCTV." Li Bai patted his head and suddenly realized.
"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you? I saw you here in a daze for a long time, and your face didn't look good? ”
"Haha, it's fine. Just been calculated by an old fox. Where are you going with your stuff? Li Bai looked at the thick stack of folders held in Wang Zheng's arms and asked.
"Go and discuss the show with Director Zhou." Wang Zheng said seriously.
"That's right, I'm going to go with me too, let's go together. I'll get some for you. Li Bai said, taking a stack of folders from Wang Zheng's arms and hugging them. Then the two talked and laughed all the way to Zhou Jun's office.
"Xiaobai! When did you come? Seeing Li Bai come in, Zhou Jun asked in surprise.
"I just came, I talked to Director Zhao about something, and then I came to look for you." Li Bai said and put the folder on the table.
"How's Jiaqi's condition?"
"Now that I've woken up, if nothing else, I can recover and be discharged from the hospital before the Chinese New Year."
"That's good! You've been tired for the past few days, look at your bad face. Zhou Jun said with concern.
"It's okay, I'm a big man, what is this." Li Bai smiled and didn't care. He poured himself a glass of water, and then said to the two people standing there, "You two can talk about work first, and leave me alone." ”
"There's nothing to talk about, the matter of the show has been almost discussed, and today it's just to confirm some information. However, there is one thing I really want to discuss with you, and the director said that he intends to add a burden to you. Zhou Jun said with a smile.
"Add a burden? Do you want to give me a promotion and a raise, but Yanjing Satellite TV can't do without me. If you want to be a deputy director, you can also consider it. Li Bai quipped.
"You think beautifully, I haven't been promoted yet." Zhou Jun said funny, and Wang Zheng next to him was also amused.
Although Luo Chao was expelled, the response to his "Expert Forum" was too bad, and it was simply smeared by CCTV. The station is going to let you take over the show. Zhou Jun said with a sigh.
"Really? Why didn't you listen to Director Zhao just now? I don't read much, don't lie to me. Li Bai said speechlessly, this is a mess, and he doesn't have much time to take care of it.
"Haha, you debunked it. It's a task given to me by Taili, but I can't do anything but beg you. Zhou Jun said expectantly, feeling that he was a little bit of an inch.
"I really can't help you, I can help you find a way. However, there is no hope this year, a new show and the Spring Festival Gala have to be prepared, and Jiaqi and Ruoxi's illnesses must be treated as soon as possible. I have to do it myself. Li Bai said helplessly.
"There's no hurry about this, you can be busy with your own business first, you can still wait for two or three months for this show, and it's only about ten episodes."
"Well, but I suggest that the show be stopped directly, and then I will have a new program to take over, although the name is one word different from it, but the content is very different." Li Bai suddenly thought of "Hundred Lectures", and felt that he could get it out in the future, so that everyone could enjoy the knowledge of the times more and build a smart life. As for "Expert Forum", let it "roll over, baby cow", the show did not meet his psychological expectations at all.
"That's great, I'll go to the director to report now, and this episode will be off the air. Haha......" Zhou Jun rushed out of the office excitedly, and Li Bai was speechless for a while. I feel like I'm in the trap again, Zhou Jun used to be an honest person, but now he can learn to be so cunning. It must have been taught by Lao Zhao, no wonder he didn't talk about it directly with himself when he was in the office just now.
It is estimated that CCTV was going to ban the "Expert Forum", but he was stupid and rubbed it up. smiled helplessly, looked at Wang Zheng, who was also snickering on the side, and said angrily: "Xiao Zhengzheng, am I stupid?" ”
"Brother Bai, don't be like this, I have goosebumps." Wang Zheng shuddered and said weakly.
"Hey, don't be nervous, just joking. You also saw that I didn't have much time a year ago, and in the future, "Art Life" will be handed over to you to be responsible, you have to work hard! Li Bai patted Wang Zheng's shoulder and said seriously.
"If you don't check it, the production cycle of our program is too short, and I'm afraid the quality will be affected." Wang Zheng said worriedly.
"You can divide the choreographer into two groups and take turns producing the show, so that each episode has a long production cycle." Li Bai said with a smile that he also borrowed this idea from the previous "Quick Book".
"yes, why didn't I think of that!" Wang Zheng patted his head, the worries in his heart disappeared, and then he said firmly: "Brother Bai, don't worry." I'll do my best and I won't disgrace you. ”
