Wednesday.

Li Yichen was busy all morning, ready to stop his work first and go to the TV station's canteen to eat.

Of course, I didn't forget to call Wu Zhi next to me.

"My nephew, go to dinner?"

"Let's go, I'm starving."

Wu Zhi said expectantly: "I don't know what good dishes are available in the canteen today." ”

Li Yichen said with a smile: "Yesterday Master Huang told me that today is a yellow stewed chicken, shredded chicken and minced chicken rice set, choose one of the three." ”

The staff canteen of Dongchuan TV station is provided free of charge for lunch and dinner, which is delicious and hygienic, which is a benefit given by the TV station to the staff.

In the staff cafeteria, I often meet with the heads of various departments and even the directors of TV stations, and sometimes I have a meeting while eating.

So in the nearly ten years since the establishment of the East Transmission TV station in this area, most of the surrounding restaurants have gradually been squeezed out.

The only ones left are sweet shops, cafes, and other shops that are suitable for leisure and entertainment.

Because there are too many staff members of the TV station, the implementation is to eat at staggered peaks, although so, it is almost one o'clock in the afternoon now, and when Li Yichen and Wu Zhi walked into the staff canteen, it was still full of people and extremely lively.

Li Yichen took a plate, walked to the selection table, and skillfully greeted the chefs inside.

"Brother Huang, give me an extra spoonful of shredded chicken......"

"Okay."

Although Huang Kai'an was wearing a chef's mask, he didn't talk much, and directly scooped an extra spoonful of shredded chicken to Li Yichen.

Li Yichen thanked him, and happily went to find a vacant seat first.

Wu Zhi, who was following Li Yichen, saw that Li Yichen chose a shredded chicken set meal at noon today, and he knew that Li Yichen's choice of food would definitely not be wrong, so he did not hesitate to choose the same.

While eating, Wu Zhi couldn't help but talk about the hottest topic within the TV station recently, the year-end awards ceremony.

"I heard that the year-end awards ceremony of the TV station has set up the Best Screenwriter Award and the New Screenwriter Award, to be honest, have you ever fantasized?"

Wu Zhi joked that in the entire Propaganda Department, no one knew that Li Yichen had written a script that was about to be made into a TV series, and he had been shouting for a long time to ask Li Yichen for a treat.

Li Yichen also wanted to have a treat, but he had not been available on weekends recently, so he could only drag it out.

"Of course there is, there is such a thing as awards, isn't it just to give people illusions? I really hope that next year's second award ceremony will have the opportunity to win the New Screenwriter Award. ”

Li Yichen did not twist in the slightest, and generously admitted it.

But it's just a dream.

With the current status and strength of Dongchuan TV, one or two popular phenomenal TV series will emerge almost every year.

Although the year-end awards ceremony is only an entertainment internal ceremony of the TV station, it is foreseeable that the competition between each award will be fierce.

Li Yichen knows that whether he has a chance to win next year's Rookie Screenwriter Award depends not only on himself, but also on the entire crew of "You from the Star".

The screenwriting work that belongs to him is almost finished, and the rest of the work other than screenwriting can only rely on his teammates.

If "My Love from the Star" is tepid after it is broadcast, then he must be cold too.

"Xiao Chen is right, the award is set up for everyone."

Across the table, Yu Zhengcheng, the director of "I Am a Singer", suddenly interjected.

"It's a pity that there is no variety show newcomer award, otherwise according to Xiaochen's hot posture in variety shows this year, this award will definitely have your share."

"Haha, the Best Variety Show Award must be Director Yu's ......"

Business blows each other, Li Yichen still will.

If this was half a year ago, Yu Zhengcheng would definitely accept this praise without hesitation.

After all, in the past three years, "I Am a Singer" has always been the No. 1 variety show on Dongchuan TV.

It's just that now, "Sister Over Flowers" was born, directly pulling their program from the throne of the No. 1 variety show on Dongchuan TV.

And in "Sister Over Flowers", Li Yichen has an appearance.

This kid should be beaten.

Yu Zhengcheng smiled bitterly, although the reputation of the fourth season of "I Am a Singer" after the revision this year has picked up, it is still weak in follow-up.

As the director of this show, Yu Zhengcheng can only watch this show go into decline.

Because, I really can't invite a suitable singer.

There are only a few veteran and powerful singers who can be invited.

Other big-name singers, no matter how much they are invited, can't be invited.

After all, although "I Am a Singer" is the most professional show in variety shows, it is still a variety show in essence, which requires a lot of highlights and variety show effects, and winning or losing in the end is not necessarily a reflection of strength.

And a singer is selected in one season, and now in the fourth season, the program team can only use the new generation of singers to make up the number.

It can be said that the original taste of old songs and new singing and intense competition in "I Am a Singer" has slowly disappeared.

Yu Zhengcheng has seen many netizens' complaints, most of which are "fried cold rice", "no freshness", "don't do it if you can't do it", etc., revealing doubts and disappointment with the show.

Speaking of which, the revision of the fourth season of "I Am a Singer" still has Li Yichen's participation.

It's just that Yu Zhengcheng's focus was on the show at that time, and he didn't pay serious attention to Li Yichen.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered by Wang Gaoming.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhengcheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Wang Gaoming has boasted in front of them more than once that he is Li Yichen's Bole.

Obviously, it was he, Yu Zhengcheng, who found Li Yichen first.

"Xiaochen, you don't have anything else urgent after lunch, right?"

"No, Director Yu has something to help?"

Li Yichen said curiously.

"Well, there's something going on, so let's do it, I'm done with lunch, and I'll treat you to a cup of coffee."

"This ...... How can I make Director Yu break the ......?"

"Which coffee shop are we going to?"

……

In the coffee shop, in addition to Li Yichen and Yu Zhengcheng, there are also two main creators of "I Am a Singer" who are also together.

Li Yichen has also seen these two before.

This unexpected posture made Li Yichen feel that this cup of coffee was not easy to drink.

Sure enough, Yu Zhengcheng directly told Li Yichen about the current difficulties of "I Am a Singer".

In his words, he hoped that he would once again stand in the perspective of an "outsider" and give suggestions to the show.

Li Yichen has participated in the revision of the fourth season of "I Am a Singer" and is very aware of the problems encountered by this show.

It can be said that for the "old show" that has been four years old, it is simply impossible to do it if it wants to maintain the original flavor while still being rejuvenated through revision.

This is also the last resort method that Li Yichen will propose before to "invite the new generation of singers", sacrificing the original flavor.

In fact, Li Yichen knew at that time that Yu Zhengcheng and their main creative team had already had the idea of "inviting the new generation of singers".

It's just that as the main creative team, "I Am a Singer" embodies too much of their hard work, so it is difficult to make a decision.

In the end, they can only use the mouth of Li Yichen, an "outsider", to say the revision options they already know.
