Chapter 2 Why Can't I?
Nine a.m.
In a small conference room on the sports channel.
At the long conference table, a total of fifteen men, women, and children were seated.
Most of them are hosts who currently have no programs in the station, and there are three leaders.
Director Sun, as the leader of the station, naturally sat in the middle, and next to him on both sides were the two deputy directors of the station.
Ye Luo sat at the very end, and next to him sat a little girl, white and pure, who looked about the same age as him.
Except for the two of them, who are relatively young, the rest of them don't look young.
Seeing that everyone was here, Director Sun cleared his throat and said, "I call everyone to come to the meeting today, and I guess everyone knows why." It has been 25 years since the broadcast of the program "Chess World" on our station, and there have been several hosts in the past 25 years. ”
"Teacher Zhang Guangliang, who is now hosting this show, is also older, and he really can't help such high-intensity work. Therefore, Taili wants to find a successor, and I called you here today just to hear everyone's opinions. ”
Speaking of which, Director Sun's opening remarks are over.
It stands to reason that if there is a vacancy in other TV stations, as soon as this news comes out, there must be many people who want to take the position, like a carp crossing the river, and there are countless of them.
It's not even surprising that in order to compete for such a position, it is not surprising to fight for the dog's head.
But on the sports channel, it's a very different story.
For the show "Chess World", none of these hosts on the scene showed interest.
Even if these hosts are currently in a state of idleness and don't even have a show in their hands, they don't want to host this show.
After all, this "Chess World" is notoriously professional and has low ratings.
If you don't have strong chess skills, you can only repeat it like a goose if you go up to host. Even when you come to the guests, it is very likely that you will not even be able to catch the words of the guests, and you will be embarrassed if you are not careful.
It would be strange to host such a show without being scolded to death by the audience.
Therefore, after Director Sun finished speaking, these hosts on the scene all bowed their heads tacitly.
In their eyes, this show is a fire pit, and whoever likes to go will go.
Although I don't have a show, my salary is not much less, so why bother thankless?
Just for that chance to show your face?
How many viewers does a show air at half past three in the middle of the night?
These people are all old fritters in Taiwan, and they all look like they don't care about themselves.
Seeing this, Director Sun was not much surprised, he had known about this situation for a long time. He had also found a few hosts in private before, but without exception, when he heard that he was going to take over "Chess World", he tried his best to shirk it.
At this time, Deputy Director Li, one of the three giants of the channel, took over the conversation unhurriedly and said to everyone: "Everyone also knows that the program "Chess World" has been through ups and downs for 25 years, and has experienced a total of four hosts before and after. ”
These four teachers, without exception, were all professional chess players, and the founder of this show, Mr. Zou Jinliang, was the vice president of the Chess Association when he was alive. Therefore, when I watch the host of this show, I still contact one from the chess academy as before. ”
Deputy Director Li wears a pair of black-framed glasses, looks tall and thin, and speaks unhurriedly, giving people the feeling of a cultural scholar.
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
The host of "Chess World" has indeed always been a retired professional player. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with what Deputy Director Li said.
Immediately afterwards, Deputy Director Li continued: "For this matter, I have been running to the chess academy every day for the past few days, and I have been grinding with Chairman Zhao of their chess association for a long time before I finally let us alone. ”
"Come, less, stand up and let everyone know."
Deputy Director Li looked at Ye Luo with a smile, of course, it was not him who was looking at him, but the little girl sitting next to him.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yu Changyou, and I am now a professional sixth-level chess player certified by the Chess Academy."
The little girl stood up generously, and her voice was very crisp.
Deputy Director Li nodded, very satisfied, and explained to everyone: "You may not know much about the chess rank, so I will briefly explain it to you here." As for the previous teacher Guangliang, before retiring, he was a professional ninth level, which was already the highest level in the chess world. ”
"Of course, if you are younger than you are young, you can't compare with Teacher Guangliang, but if you are younger, you will have the ...... of Teacher Guangliang's true inheritance."
Speaking of which, everyone present finally suddenly realized.
After going around for a long time, it turned out that the gourd contained this medicine!
To put it bluntly, this meeting is just a formality, in fact, the candidate for Deputy Director Li has already been decided.
Of course, there is no objection to this candidate. They don't want to go anyway, and now someone is coming, it's still professional, just right.
However, Director Sun, who was the big leader of the station, frowned, and he didn't know about this matter in advance.
And Ye Luo, who was sitting next to him, silently offered envious eyes.
This is the fact that there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do, and they are also young people, and they still come from across the line, but they are "entrusted with important tasks" as soon as they come.
To say not to envy, that is false.
"It's small, it looks very clever, have you ever been a host before?"
An old veteran asked with a smile.
"Not really, but I always watch my grandfather prepare the show at home, and I know a little bit." Yu Changyou's face was filled with a sweet smile.
"It turned out to be the granddaughter of Mr. Hirora......"
Now everyone knows more clearly in their hearts, there is this relationship, so what else to say.
"I think it's pretty good."
"Well, I think that's fine."
"Young people, you should try more."
Everyone, you and I seem to be about to settle this matter.
But at this moment, Director Sun, who had been bowing his head and drinking tea, suddenly spoke, and he beckoned to Ye Luo with a smile: "Xiao Ye, didn't you say that you want to host "Chess World"? Why don't you talk now? Scared? ”
As soon as Director Sun's words came out, the entire venue was suddenly silent. The crowd who was still noisily praising Yu Changyou immediately shut up at this time.
Everyone's eyes, with Director Sun's words, suddenly focused on Ye Luo's body.
Deputy Director Li glanced at Director Sun, and then stared at Ye Luo with a frown.
At this time, Ye Luo was confused.
He is envious of others Yu Changyou, why is the topic suddenly on me?
I want to host World of Chess?
I've just heard about the show "Chess World"!
"I ......"
Ye Luo, who was new to the workplace, seemed a little at a loss at this time, so he could only stand up first.
But before he could speak, Director Sun explained to everyone apologetically: "Blame me for forgetting about Xiao Ye." Xiao Ye, I just got admitted to us this year. When I came to the office to report on it, he said that he had liked to play chess since he was a child, and he was interested in this aspect. ”
"I just told him that our station is now looking for a host who understands chess, and we can discuss it with you at the meeting."
"Somehow, this kid didn't dare to say a word when he arrived."
Director Sun glanced around with a smile, then turned his head and said to Deputy Director Li: "I really didn't know that you had arranged people, if I had known in advance, I wouldn't have caused this misunderstanding." If you don't look at Teacher Guangliang's face, you will be wronged and wronged Xiaoye? ”
Ye Luo had just graduated from college, and he was in a fog at this time, and he didn't know why Director Sun said that.
He never said a word about what he said, let alone that he wanted to host "Chess World".
But he didn't know anything, at least he knew that Director Sun seemed to be helping him fight for the opportunity to be the host.
So, Ye Luo didn't say anything.
Deputy Director Li frowned slightly, looked at Director Sun, didn't answer his words, but said to Ye Luo: "Xiao Ye, right?" Just got admitted this year? ”
Ye Luo nodded.
"That's a talent, no one can be wronged if they are wronged."
But Deputy Director Li changed his words and said: "But after all, you are new to the city and are not familiar with the business. If you want me to say that you should find a master to take you first, wait for a year and a half, and after you are familiar with our hosting work, I will arrange a program for you. In this way, you first follow the host of our "Voice of Football" column, Mr. Li Chao, who is the gold medal host on our side, and you can learn a lot from him. ”
As soon as Director Sun heard this, he put away the smile on his face, and on the fat big face plate, a pair of mung bean eyes narrowed slightly at this time, and he also looked at Ye Luo, and said: "Xiao Ye, a radish and a pit, some opportunities are fought for by yourself, not arranged by others." ”
Director Sun gently tapped the table as he spoke.
At this moment, everyone's eyes in the small conference room were focused on Ye Luo's body.
Ye Luo looked at everyone, his heart was beating uncontrollably, he never expected that he would encounter this situation on his first day of work. Even if he has not experienced the workplace, he can see that this is the fighting method of Deputy Director Li and Director Sun.
Regarding these chaotic factional relationships in the workplace, Ye Luo is resistant from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't want to pay attention to this, but what Director Sun said just now was right.
Opportunities are earned by yourself!
Sometimes, you have to give it a go.
Anyway, I am an iron rice bowl, who can fire myself?
What if it succeeds?
Thinking of this, Ye Luo took a deep breath, tried to calm his tone, looked at everyone and said: "Hello leaders and seniors, my name is Ye Luo, I graduated from the broadcasting and hosting major, I think I can host this column well." ”
As soon as these words came out, Director Sun smiled.
But Deputy Director Li's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, and said to Ye Luo slowly: "Xiao Ye, you may not know the program "Chess World", which has nothing to do with the broadcast host you studied in school. The columns of our sports channel all require strong professional ability. Of course, I'm not talking about hosting majors, you know? ”
"As a professional sixth-level chess player, it is more than enough to explain the chess game, but what about you? What level are you? Did you explain a professional chess game? ”
Deputy Director Li has always spoken quite politely, but this continuous rhetorical question seems a bit aggressive.
It can be seen that Deputy Director Li has a big opinion on Ye Luo at this time.
It's almost clear in and out of the words, you Xiaoye is just a chess enthusiast, did you host this column?
Ye Luo's eyebrows were lowered, and he was questioned in public like this, he felt a little aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Less than six levels, what level am I?
Can I host it well?
Ye Luo was also out of the way, pursed his lips, and immediately retorted: "I'm a master, why can't I explain a professional chess game?" ”
Ye Luo also has confidence in his heart, Lao Tzu was admitted after being admitted to the National Examination, and he received the salary of the state, not to mention that you are a deputy director, what can you do if you are the director?
What's more, let yourself try, it was proposed by Director Sun, and he didn't mention it first.
As soon as these words came out, a burst of discussion suddenly sounded in the conference room.
"Master?"
"I'll go! This young man is not simple! ”
"A master chess player must be stronger than a sixth level, right?"
"Nonsense! That's a great sound, isn't it? ”
"No, it seems that there are nine levels of chess, right? And what about the masters? ”
Everyone is you and me, and the originally quiet conference room has become extremely noisy.
