Zhongyuan Satellite TV has never been so high-profile, and it has never been paid attention to by so many people.

But what is concerned is not prime-time variety shows or TV series......

It's a cultural and educational variety show at midnight at 11 o'clock in the evening.

If it is usual, at this point in time, most of the people of Zhongyuan Satellite TV have gone home from work to rest.

But......

Tonight, most of the staff of Zhongyuan Satellite TV are still on duty.

Even though many people don't have any work anymore, they are also told by the leaders that they will not be able to leave work until 12 o'clock to deal with any sudden emergency needs.

Even many of the staff of Zhongyuan Satellite TV actually knew about the program for the first time, and they never thought that they would one day work overtime because of this midnight cultural and educational program.

This notice of temporary overtime was notified by Liu Jie, and he, Xiao Qiang, and Yu Wenqiao also stayed in the office to work overtime, waiting for the broadcast of the show.

Liu Jie personally made a pot of tea and poured a cup for both Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao.

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao hurriedly and carefully took the teacup and hurriedly said thank you.

Liu Jie took a sip of his teacup, looked at the two and said, "Lao Xiao, Lao Yu, I have known you for more than ten years. Don't be so angry, you may have to deal with each other a lot in the future. ”

Xiao Qiang also took a sip of tea and exclaimed: "Good tea, Director Liu, your skills are also very unusual." ”

Yu Wenqiao also praised: "Good tea." ”

The two didn't know what Liu Jie wanted to say, so they would talk about it first.

Liu Jie said with a smile: "Fifty yuan a pack of tea in the store at the door, it's nothing good." ”

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao paused awkwardly, and then smiled to hide their embarrassment.

Liu Jie's face became serious, looked at the two of them and said, "Yesterday, today, I held two meetings with several leaders, and convened many professionals in our station to discuss my proposal. Wang Cheng left after recording the show, but I think his program model is very interesting, so I propose to the above that you can continue to increase your investment in the program in the future, continue to use Wang Cheng's program recording form as a template, and continue to dig deep into the potential! ”

"If possible, make this form the signboard of our Central Plains Satellite TV, a cultural business card, which is a matter of killing one stone."

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao's eyes lit up, the two of them only heard a little rumor, with their status in the stage, they were not qualified to participate in the upper-level meeting.

At this time, hearing Liu Jie's sure words, both of them knew that their opportunity had come.

cooperated with Wang Cheng before, but they were lucky, and it was a one-time opportunity.

And now, it could be their chance for the rest of their lives!

Xiao Qiang immediately asked, "Director Liu, is there a result?" ”

Liu Jie shook his head lightly: "It's still inconclusive for the time being, because there are no achievements and data to support it." ”

Xiao Qiang immediately understood: "So, let's wait for the ratings of this episode of our show to come out?" ”

Liu Jie nodded: "Yes, I'll talk about it when the ratings come out." Just like the rural life of Shonan Satellite TV, just because the last issue relied on Wang Cheng's miraculous saying that it turned over, Shonan Satellite TV increased investment, and the schedule was also moved to the prime time of the weekend, and it may become a popular variety show that everyone is familiar with for a long time in the future! ”

"We want to learn from Shonan Satellite TV and follow the path left by Wang Cheng, but we also have to rely on the ratings of this episode to speak, if the ratings are not ideal, then it is useless to say anything. If there are good ratings, then we will create a new history of Zhongyuan Satellite TV......"

Yu Wenqiao asked softly: "Then what number do the ratings have to reach to meet expectations?" ”

Liu Jie thought for a moment and said, "This is inconclusive for the time being. However, we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this episode, with Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, An Keru and so many big names joining, and they themselves have a certain guaranteed ratings base. To prove the charm of the show itself, then the maximum rating cannot be less than three points, which is what we have discussed in private. ”

Three?

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao both had a trace of pressure, and at the same time relaxed a little.

There is pressure because their previous ratings were too low, they used to be 0.1 and 0.2 ratings, and 3 ratings have always been a number that they never dreamed of.

And the relaxation is because,The leaders did not compare the cultural Central Plains with the rural life of Shonan Satellite TV because of Wang Cheng,If you ask for the same four points of ratings as rural life,Then they are really not sure!

After all, the ratings of more than four o'clock are really too far away for them, and even for the entire Central Plains Satellite TV, it is unattainable.

Since the establishment of Zhongyuan Satellite TV, the highest rating is just more than three o'clock, when the popular TV series more than 20 years ago had more than 50% of the ratings, the highest rating of Zhongyuan Satellite TV was only more than three o'clock, not to mention the current era......

Even if there are miracles of the ratings of tomorrow's idols at five o'clock and rural satellite TV at four o'clock, they don't dare to think about it!

After three o'clock ratings, it is their highest ideal.

Xiao Qiang thought for a while and said, "I think there is a good chance at three o'clock!" There's a lot of interest on the internet right now. Since yesterday, I have been following public opinion on the Internet. When the gossip media broke the news and smeared Wang Cheng with rhythm, I also stood up as a director to help Wang Cheng speak. ”

Now, many people are curious about what show Wang Cheng can shoot this time! They're definitely going to come and watch us......"

Yu Wenqiao also quickly said: "I mobilized the whole program team to help publicize, this is the highest attention of our TV station, and the ratings will definitely create a new high!" ”

Liu Jie nodded, looked at Xiao Qiang and said, "You have to pay attention next time you speak, don't be sure or deny the questioning and gossip of the outside world!" Express your support for Wang Cheng and say that you can cooperate happily with Wang Cheng, and you admit the fact that you broke the news, which has a great impact on Wang Cheng. ”

"I have answered more than a dozen calls from old friends asking if Wang Cheng can cooperate, and when they see that you admit the facts, they are all very jealous of Wang Cheng, afraid that Wang Cheng will go to the program team and interfere in the program team, and set them up ......"

"I can only giggle with them."

Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't think about it at the time, and I just thought about helping Wang Cheng speak." Later, I also answered a lot of phone calls, and friends from other TV station program groups inquired about the situation, but I didn't say anything. They were also very jealous of Wang Cheng and wanted to cooperate with Wang Cheng, but they were afraid that Wang Cheng would take away their power. ”

"To be honest, I can understand them, when Wang Cheng wanted to take the lead, I and the others were very repulsed. As it turned out, we were too superficial......"

"Therefore, what I said on Weibo is what I think in my heart, if Wang Cheng is willing to come again, let me do anything!"

Liu Jie: "Those people are thinking too much, and the gossip media that broke the news is obviously pushed by someone behind it." I won't guess who it is, but it should be eight or nine and ten. Now that Wang Cheng himself is in deep trouble, it is not so easy for them to invite Wang Cheng to participate in the show. ”

"There is only one Wang Cheng!"

"By the way, Lao Xiao, when the show is over in a while, you can delete all the Weibo you posted yesterday."

Xiao Qiang nodded: "Okay, when the show is over, there is no need for heat for the time being, I will delete it all, and I won't cause trouble for Wang Cheng......"

Yu Wenqiao said curiously: "Which show will Wang Cheng be on next time?" ”

Liu Jie shook his head: "Who knows, Rubik's Cube Entertainment now gives Wang Cheng a notice all by mood, and he chooses any of the programs that don't pay attention to the confiscated ratings." Anyway, it's impossible for a popular show to make Wang Cheng ......"

Xiao Qiang's eyes flashed: "I really hope to cooperate with him again, I have never admired an artist like this." ”

Liu Jie's face was full of admiration: "Who has worked with him, who doesn't want to work with him all the time?" Li Guang of Dragon TV, Wu Tong of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, Guo Shouxin of Tomorrow's Idol, Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi of Xiangnan Satellite TV, they have all cooperated with Wang Cheng, and then they have been contacting Rubik's Cube Entertainment for quotations, and they all want to cooperate with Wang Cheng again! ”

"What Zhu Ziqi said is right, as long as you have contact with Wang Cheng and understand people, you will be conquered by him."

"I can understand why the four of them are chasing Wang Cheng all the time!"

Yu Wenqiao: "There is no woman who doesn't want to chase Wang Cheng, but others are not so confident and courageous. Only the four of them have the confidence and guts! ”

Liu Jie and Xiao Qiang both nodded in agreement with Yu Wenqiao's words.

They also went to the farewell performance of tomorrow's idol to watch Wang Cheng's performance, and knew that almost no alien properties rejected Wang Cheng's charm......

However, there are still not many people who have the confidence and courage to act.

However, I thought of the authentic handiwork of Wang Cheng that was taken away by Wen Yixiao.

Liu Jie's face was full of regret and longing: "It's a pity that I couldn't leave Wang Cheng's works!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao are also full of regrets, but they are not so pity, because they know that even if Wang Cheng really leaves the work, the two of them will definitely not be able to get it!

Moreover, they believe that even if Director Liu gets it, he may not be able to keep it.

The three of them chatted, and the opening of the Cultural Central Plains appeared on the TV screen, and they all shut up in an instant, staring at the TV screen.

Liu Jie picked up the phone and called his secretary: "Send it to me as soon as the data comes out." ”

Secretary: "Okay, Director Liu, I'll stay here, as soon as the data comes out, I'll send it to you personally!" ”

Liu Jie nodded, hung up the phone, and looked at the TV screen.

He has been busy with meetings for the past two days, and he has really not seen the edited film, and there is some curiosity and expectation in his eyes, I don't know what the effect of Wang Cheng's wonderful recording at that time is.

……

Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi came to the capital on a business trip to attend a meeting of the higher authorities, and then were invited by Xie Xingfeng to his home as guests.

At this time, the three of them sat in the large living room of Xie Xingfeng's villa and watched the programs of Zhongyuan Satellite TV together.

Xie Xingfeng looked at the logo of Zhongyuan Satellite TV on the TV screen, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have watched Zhongyuan Satellite TV." I hope Wang Cheng won't let me down. ”

Zhang Huizhong ate fruit and sat on the sofa relaxedly: "I heard a friend from Zhongyuan Satellite TV say that this time Zhongyuan Satellite TV attaches great importance to the program recorded by Wang Cheng. It is said that Wang Cheng performed very well and wrote an ancient poem on the spot, and everyone at the scene said that it was good, but I wanted to ask about the content of the specific ancient poem, so I didn't know. ”

Li Chi sat quietly and didn't speak, he was just a small director before, and this time he came out to contact the big guy's party, and he didn't dare to say more, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Xie Xingfeng asked with a serious expression: "I heard that Wang Cheng set up the program team, and the entire program group almost stopped, is it true or false?" ”

Zhang Huizhong nodded affirmatively and said: "It's true, I asked three or four people, and they all said it was true!" Most of the revelations on the Internet are true, Wang Cheng really dislikes the arrangement of their program group is too bad, so he asked to follow his ideas, and the director Liu Jie supported Wang Cheng, and the program team was negative! ”

"However, when the final recording was made, Wang Cheng's effect was very good, so no one in the program team dared to say anything!"

Xie Xingfeng nodded thoughtfully: "The skills are not as good as others, they have nothing to say!" However, it is indeed taboo to overstep the authority of the entire program group. In other words, this show in the Central Plains of Culture was almost recorded by Wang Cheng? ”

Zhang Huizhong: "Don't say everything, most of them should be Wang Cheng's ideas!" ”

Xie Xingfeng: "Then I'll take a closer look......"

Zhang Huizhong looked at Xie Xingfeng: "What?" Lao Xie, you haven't given up yet? Do you still want to invite Wang Cheng to the Spring Festival Gala? ”

Xie Xingfeng nodded: "Of course I want to, who doesn't want to invite Wang Cheng to the show now?" I want to too! I've been trying to persuade those people, but it's not convincing enough! Originally, Wang Cheng's amazing performance in your rural life last time shocked many people, the first Burrow inscription and the cultural heritage shown by the master-level cursive calligraphy, really eye-catching, the Beijing Calligraphy Association has sent an invitation to Wang Cheng, but unfortunately did not get a response, so that many people have a lot of complaints, feel that Wang Cheng is too big a name, disrespectful to the predecessors! ”

"This time, the news of Wang Cheng's overhead program group came out, and the impact was even more serious, and my previous efforts were almost in vain! You know, in the Spring Festival Gala program group, no thorn is allowed, and any behavior must obey the command, otherwise you will get out! ”

Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi both nodded in agreement.

No matter how big a name is, no matter how talented and powerful a star artist is, when he arrives at the Spring Festival Gala program group, he has to be honest, and you must do what you are asked to do.

Otherwise, it's not as simple as getting out, if you dare to offend the leaders of the Spring Festival Gala program group, I'm afraid that the entire Chinese entertainment industry will not be easy to mix in the future.

After a pause, Xie Xingfeng sighed and said, "If Wang Cheng sinks down from the struggle with Rubik's Cube Entertainment, no one will pay attention to it, so that's it." However, he has always maintained such popularity, and he still has powerful works, if I can't invite him to the program group, then this year's Spring Festival Gala will really be a failure. ”

"If Wang Cheng doesn't come, Wen Yixiao won't come, and even Zhu Ziqi refused! I don't really know what to say anymore......"

Xie Xingfeng was a little depressed when he said this, and after meeting Wang Cheng this year, he found that his name was not so easy to use in the circle.

Zhang Huizhong patted Xie Xingfeng on the shoulder: "Let's see if there are any surprises in Zhongyuan Satellite TV's program tonight, maybe this will be an opportunity for you to convince those people?" ”

Xie Xingfeng smiled bitterly: "I hope so......"

The two stopped talking, and looked at the TV screen with curious and expectant eyes, because the cultural Central Plains officially began to broadcast.

As soon as the picture comes out!

It is a host who stands on the Luo River and begins to explain this famous river in Chinese history, telling its historical stories, as well as some myths and legends.

Xie Xingfeng looked at the opening, which seemed to be an ordinary cultural and educational program, and said with some disappointment: "This doesn't seem to have changed much, right?" Isn't this just a cultural and educational program that caters to policies? Wang Cheng: How are they going to play? ”

Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi were also a little disappointed.

All three of them have expectations for Wang Cheng.

After all, it is rumored that Wang Cheng's performance in the program group is amazing, and he also wrote a poem.

But......

This doesn't seem to be what they imagined it to be.

A few minutes passed.

It's all the host telling the story of Luohe.

Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru didn't show up......

Li Chi muttered in a low voice: "Are you going to meet Wang Cheng and them in the scenic spot?" Many variety shows have such scripts......"

Xie Xingfeng and Zhang Huizhong frowned slightly when they heard Li Chi's words, if the script was really like this, then they felt that it was too rough and too low-level......

Zhang Huizhong shook his head and said: "In this case, even Wang Cheng can't pull up many ratings!" The content of the show itself is still the most important. ”

Xie Xingfeng and Li Chi also nodded in agreement with Zhang Huizhong's words, and did not have such high expectations for the ratings of the Cultural Central Plains.

But!

In the picture, the host walked on the Luo River for a while, and after explaining for a while, he said: "Many people may be curious, what is the legendary god of Heluo? I'm also curious, and today there happens to be a guest to show us......"

Then!

The screen turned......

Appeared under the water where the light of the water swayed slightly.

A woman in ancient costume swayed slightly in the water, ribbons fluttered from her arms, abdomen, and feet, and her long black hair fluttered like silk......

As the music played.

The woman in ancient costume danced underwater, every step, every movement was fast and elegant, flying like a frightening flight, with that amazing appearance, so that every audience was stunned.

Xie Xingfeng, Zhang Huizhong, and Li Chi didn't speak, and their eyes stared at the figure in the picture.

The legendary goddess of Luohe is nothing more than that, right?

Xie Xingfeng said softly: "This is, Wen Yixiao? ”

Zhang Huizhong also gradually came to his senses, but his eyes were still staring at the goddess flying in the water on the screen, only feeling that this perfectly fit the fantasy of the goddess of Luohe in his heart, and nodded: "It's Wen Yixiao, but this is the most thrilling time for her beauty!" The creativity of the underwater dance, the choreography, the costumes, the lighting effects, are the best I've ever seen, and the real wonderland should be nothing more than that. ”

Li Chi exclaimed: "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful traditional dance, it is said that this is a dance choreographed by Wang Cheng, I don't know if it's true!" ”

Zhang Huizhong said affirmatively: "It must be true, I heard from the people in the program team that Wang Cheng was busy choreographing from the beginning, so he didn't have time to pay attention to the program team, so he stopped the program team." Such a good-looking dance, if it was choreographed by someone from the program team, would never be hidden. ”

Xie Xingfeng stood up, looked at the picture carefully, took a deep breath, and said: "Such a beautiful dance performance, appearing on Central Plains Satellite TV, you say, is it a tyrannical thing?" If it appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, how big of a sensation would it cause? ”

Xie Xingfeng is always thinking about his work this year - the Spring Festival Gala!

Looking at Wen Yixiao, who was like a goddess in a fairyland on the TV screen, Xie Xingfeng's eyes were slightly red, and he was envious and jealous in his heart, and the pressure was even greater.

If......

If the dance program of this year's Spring Festival Gala is not so good-looking, then the Spring Festival Gala directed by him is really useless!

Even the most non-existent Central Plains Satellite TV can't compare......

So what's the point of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala?

When the time comes, it will definitely be sprayed to death by a large number of spectators!

The audience doesn't care what pressure and difficulties your director team has, anyway, they only see that this year's Spring Festival Gala is not as good as you in spring and summer, not as good as tomorrow's idols, not as good as rural life, and even inferior to the cultural Central Plains......

Then Xie Xingfeng's plan to use the director of the Spring Festival Gala to further establish his coffee position and contacts in the circle was completely frustrated.

Zhang Huizhong listened to Xie Xingfeng's words, his eyes were also envious and jealous, he took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, his eyes still did not leave Wen Yixiao in the picture, Wen Yixiao's movements were all beautiful feelings that people couldn't breathe: "Wen Yixiao brought out her temperament so perfectly for the first time, and this time, Wen Yixiao is going to explode again." ”

Xie Xingfeng and Li Chi both nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Many fans and viewers have always called Wen Yixiao a little fairy, and her cold and dusty temperament is like a fairy descending to earth.

However, Wen Yixiao's performances have not integrated his unique temperament into the performance.

At this time, the dance on the TV screen can be said to have perfectly brought out Wen Yixiao's own temperament, and with the help of dance choreography and underwater ambient lighting, Wen Yixiao has truly become a fairy and a goddess......

They are usually used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in the circle, and the bigwigs are shocked at this time, not to mention many ordinary audiences.

Wen Yixiao will definitely take advantage of this to explode again......

With the music, Wen Yixiao's dance also came to an end, the whole person flew in the water, and the ribbons and hair on her body fluttered together again, with Wen Yixiao's perfect appearance, cold and temperament that does not eat fireworks in the world, this picture is suffocating!

Then, Wen Yixiao slowly disappeared.

Lines of text appeared in the picture, which was a detailed record of the god of Heluo!

Xie Xingfeng looked at the TV screen and said thoughtfully: "So, their program uses a dance to show a traditional cultural story?" Then Wang Cheng and An Keru, Han Xiao, and Zhu Ziqi will all have performances? ”

Zhang Huizhong nodded: "It should be like this, it's like a unit drama." At this moment, the ratings will definitely skyrocket......"

Xie Xingfeng nodded: "This is inevitable, tonight, the ratings of the Cultural Central Plains will not be low, and I will call and ask when it is over!" ”

A hint of envy flashed in Li Chi's eyes, and he thought in his heart when he would invite Wang Cheng over to the last episode......

……

Magic City.

Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai stayed in the office and worked overtime together again, watching the broadcast of the program of the Central Plains of Culture together, wanting to see what Wang Cheng's program was like this time.

After watching Wen Yixiao's amazing performance......

Qin Yuhai slowly lit a cigarette, looked at Shen Shenghui and said lightly, "Do you think the ratings will be low this time?" ”

Shen Shenghui shook his head: "For such a performance, the ratings will not be low, and even Wen Yixiao will get huge benefits from it." This dance is truly amazing. However, even if the ratings are not low, it is a fact that Wang Cheng has an empty program group, and it has spread in the circle, and now many TV stations and program teams dare not cooperate with him, and our purpose can be regarded as partially achieved. ”

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Well, have you talked to him?" Would you like to sign a contract? ”

Shen Shenghui shook his head again: "I said, he ignored me, and he still didn't want to talk." ”

Qin Yuhai said in an affirmative tone: "Then continue to increase your efforts!" ”

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin." ”

Qin Yuhai looked at Wen Yixiao, who was like a fairy, and there was a hint of surprise and excitement in his eyes, if he didn't know Wen Yixiao's origin, he might have to take action, and asked softly: "The news from the program group, Wang Cheng wrote a poem, and also wrote a copy of Wen Yixiao's authentic work, is it true?" ”

Shen Shenghui: "According to the information I know, it should be true. I asked five or six people, and it was all the same message. This ancient poem is called Xia Ke Xing, which is said to describe the swordsman of the Tang Dynasty, which just corresponds to the type of program in the Central Plains of Culture! According to the people in the program team, Wen Yixiao brought the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone at that time, so Wang Cheng used Wen Yixiao's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a copy for Wen Yixiao! ”

Qin Yuhai's eyes flickered, he didn't get Wang Cheng's authentic inscription, he was still haunted.

In the past two days, he has attended the upper-class gatherings of the two magic capitals, and heard several wealthy collectors talking about Wang Cheng's Burrow, and are trying to find a way to include this work in their collection room......

If he can get Wang Cheng's authentic inscriptions, then he can use this to build relationships with those rich people, and maybe he can use this to reach some cooperation.

That's the circle!

Not all rich people are collectors, but as long as some of them are real collectors, then everyone else will become collectors, because then there will be a common topic, to talk about going together, to become partners and make a fortune together......

Wang Cheng has just written a Burrow inscription, because of its super high calligraphy level, as well as the excellence of the Burrow inscription itself, it has attracted a lot of attention in the literary circle, calligraphy circle, and collection circle.

After all, it is a rare master-level calligraphy work, as long as it can be collected, it will definitely not lose in the future, and it may also become a stepping stone to enter different circles.

Now Wang Cheng has written a new work......

Is there a chance to get it?

Qin Yuhai: "Wang Cheng brought back one himself?" ”

Shen Shenghui: "According to the news, it is indeed like this, he wrote two paintings on the spot, one in line and one in cursive, which is said to be of a very high standard, but they don't understand how high it is!" According to the Burrow's inscription, the calligraphy should also be a master-level calligraphy, and the cursive script is not accurate. ”

However, it is said that Wen Yixiao took away cursive works at that time, and it stands to reason that Wen Yixiao will not be ignorant of goods...... But ......"

He wanted to say that Wen Yixiao would not be ignorant and would not take away bad works.

However, Wang Cheng's calligraphy is already a master-level level, better than the two old calligraphy masters in China, so how can Wang Cheng's cursive calligraphy be compared with the unique calligraphy in the field of calligraphy?

Qin Yuhai also understood what Shen Shenghui meant, closed his eyes and thought about it, and then said, "You find an opportunity to ask Wang Cheng to see if he has any intention of selling." The price, let's see the scene of the show later, the minimum is 10 million. Just the top master calligraphy is worth the price. ”

Shen Shenghui's heart was bitter, he didn't want to ask Wang Cheng about this......

Because, he knew that Wang Cheng might not be too lazy to pay attention to him.

However, he still had to promise: "Okay, Mr. Qin......"

The two continued to look at the TV screen, but their minds were not on the TV for the time being.

……

Tuk Tuk ......

There was a knock on the door.

Liu Jie quickly got up and went to open the door in person, and the secretary at the door stood there with a report.

Liu Jie didn't say a word, just grabbed the report, and immediately looked at it, looking expectant and nervous.

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao also quickly got up and ran over in two steps, stretching their necks to look over!

Just see the first few numbers......

The three of them smiled in unison, but the curve chart made the smiles of the three of them stiffen at the same time......

(End of chapter)
