Chapter 4 Never See Him Again?
The sun was setting and the sky was bright red.
Apple Terrace Building, the recruitment interview for the location staff of the "Super Challenge" program group has ended.
"Brother Zhong, would you like one?"
"Ok."
Crack... whoo whoo.
In the bathroom, a Mediterranean man lit a cigarette for another bald middle-aged man. The two smokers had been holding back for a whole day, and now they were finally able to breathe, not to mention how great it was.
"Brother Zhong, you said that our location team only recruited a few temporary workers, why did Director Li come to the interview in person, isn't it a little..."
The Mediterranean man exhaled a smoke ring, glanced outside the door, and whispered to the bald middle-aged man.
Luo Hui is the assistant director of the location team of "Super Challenge", and he was really depressed today. During the recruitment process, he sat next to the chief director Li Wan, not even daring to say a word.
"It's also understandable. Our show's ratings were so high in the first season, but the second season began to drop. The station replaced Li Wan as the chief director, hoping that she could be the savior. Li Wan is also under great pressure."
The balding middle-aged man is called Zhong Lili, and he is the director of the location team. He obviously knows more than Luo Hui.
"The station has analyzed it. The format of our show is still a bit monotonous, which can easily make the audience feel tired. Li Wan is young and has ideas. Maybe he can bring more creativity to the show."
"That's why Director Li broke the tradition of not inviting regular female guests in "Super Challenge" and invited Lin Yao as a regular guest?"
After listening to Zhong Lili's revelation, Luo Hui suddenly realized, and immediately frowned again:
"But Lin Yao is very popular now, but she has never participated in a variety show. Director Li's move is quite dangerous."
"You don't understand. Li Wan's doing this is actually the safest thing to do." Zhong Lili chuckled, threw the finished cigarette into the trash can, and continued:
"The innovation of programs like ours is the most difficult. I heard that the planning team has not yet come up with ideas that satisfy Li Wan, so the best way at present is not to innovate in the content of the program, but to seek changes in the composition of the guests. ,
A female star like Lin Yao who is popular, good-looking and topical is the best choice. She doesn't need to have a sense of variety, as long as she is a good vase and attracts traffic. "
"Brother Zhong still stands tall, so he can see through."
Zhong Lili's analysis made Luo Hui throw himself to the ground. He couldn't help touching the sparse hair on the top of his head, hoping that those few hairs would fall out as soon as possible, so that he could become as strong as Brother Zhong.
The sun set completely, and night fell.
The lights were still on in a director's office on Apple TV. Li Wan was sitting at his desk, watching the first episode of the third season of "Super Challenge".
She has seen this plan no less than ten times. The details of the plan are perfect. It has completely inherited all the advantages of the previous two seasons, and the details have been optimized.
But Li Wan knew that this was not enough.
Audiences have grown weary of the "Super Challenge" format, as evidenced by the marked decline in ratings for the latter few episodes of the second season.
When Taili chose himself to be the chief director of the third season, he made a clear request - regain the number one variety show ratings!
To achieve this goal, "Super Challenge" must seek innovation and change.
But where is innovation so easy?
After Li Wan took office, he promoted several young planners, but the ideas they put forward were not good enough. In desperation, the first episode could only use the format of the previous two seasons.
Putting down the plan, Li Wan rubbed his temples, picked up the landline and made a call: "Xiao Su, please bring in the materials of the interviewers from the location team."
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and a petite girl with a round face and big eyes came in holding a stack of documents.
"Director Li, the information of the interviewer you want."
Su Yu put the information on Li Wan's desk,
After a pause, he asked with concern, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like me to order a takeaway for you?"
"It's so late?" Li Wan realized that it was already dark outside the window, and she apologized to Su Yu:
"I'm sorry, Xiao Su, but you have to work overtime too much. You can go first. I'll order takeaway by myself."
"No, no, I still have a batch of show props to count, and I'm not in a hurry to leave, so I'll go out first."
Su Yu waved her hands again and again, she glanced at the information on the table, and she deliberately put the handsome guy named Fang Xiaole on the first page.
When Su Yu left the office, Li Wan picked up the interviewer information on the table, and Fang Xiaole's name came into her eyes first.
"Fang Xiaole...that bar singer with a broken voice?"
I have a good impression of this young man, Li Wan. He is tall and energetic, and he feels very down-to-earth in speaking and doing things. The location team needs this kind of down-to-earth person who works hard.
But his shortcomings are also obvious, he has no experience in working behind the scenes of variety shows.
Holding Fang Xiaole's personal information, Li Wan fell into deep thought...
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.
After finishing the morning exercise, Fang Xiaole, who was buying breakfast on the street, received a call from Su Yu.
"Fang Xiaole, hello, do you remember me?"
The other party still had that playful and lively tone, Fang Xiaole thought for a while, and soon remembered her.
"Are you Assistant Su from Apple TV?"
"What Assistant Su, we are the same age, call me Su Yu."
Su Yu pretended to be unhappy, covered her mouth and grinned. She saw Fang Xiaole's personal information yesterday, so she knew his age.
"I'm sorry, Su...Miss Su, what can you do with me?"
Fang Xiaole's heart beat a little faster. He thought yesterday's interview must have been a mess, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the Apple TV staff early in the morning.
"Congratulations, Mr. Fang, you have been admitted. Please come to the fourth floor of the TV station to report at two o'clock in the afternoon. Little handsome guy, I have helped you a lot, you owe me a meal."
Su Yu was serious for only three seconds, and then immediately became smiling again, as if she was molesting a handsome guy.
"Thank you, Miss Su, I will be there on time in the afternoon."
Fang Xiaole didn't pay attention to Su Yu's "molestation". At this moment, he was both happy to find a job and a little sad.
In this way, my dream of being a singer and myself will really drift away...
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Fang Xiaole came to the fourth floor of Apple Terrace. This time Su Yu was not there, and another staff member led him to the room where he had the interview yesterday.
There were already six people sitting inside, all of them were burly and muscular men, and everyone on the construction site was guaranteed to be a brick-moving expert. Although Fang Xiaole was tall, she was still a little thinner compared to these burly men.
Seeing him coming in, the hunks were all a little surprised, they looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Fang Xiaole knew in her heart that she must have really gone through the back door. The recruitment notice stated that only six people were recruited, and now there are seven with himself. It is obvious that he was added temporarily.
"I really didn't find it. Have you been to every bar?"
"Really, Sister Yao, I've asked all of them, and those bar owners said that they have never seen a resident singer who fits these characteristics."
At this moment, a nanny's car was parked in the underground parking lot of Pingguo Terrace. Lin Yao took advantage of the time when Mo Yan got out of the car first, and quietly confirmed to Fang Fang again that she had gone to Bar Street to find someone.
The result is still disappointing.
How could this be?
Lin Yao was a little annoyed, why did I forget to ask his name and phone number that night?
What should I do, will I never see him again?
