Chapter 1105: Taking over ‘that Time’
"Haozi, you have to help brother this time."
In less than half an hour, Jing Tianlin arrived at the company, and he said this, "When have you ever seen him ask for help?"
It’s not that he thinks asking for help is a shameful thing. His self-esteem since he was young has made him afraid that the other party will not agree to the request. From the side, it can also be seen that he is a person with a strong desire for control and does not like to be unsure of things. Everything should be paved and stable, and he should do it only after he is fully confident. Gambling has never been his favorite thing. He believes that the success achieved by relying on hard work will inevitably be more inflated. His inner desires will fail when he tries again at some point in the future, and he will lose everything in one go.
Brother Tian needs to send a message first and then he will come. Everyone is well aware of some changes in relationships. Who was Chen Hao in the past? He is worse than a younger brother, a younger brother within a younger brother. Now when Jing Tianlin does something against him, he must first consider whether it can be done with certainty. There is no need to put up a battle to tell everyone that Chen Hao is now on the stage. As time goes by, it will be good if each other knows what they are doing.
It can also be said that in Jing Tianlin's heart, Chen Hao already had the qualifications to reject him. He did not want to be rejected and hoped that the matter would be satisfactory to both parties, so he made a first step to pave the way.
"This year's Spring Festival Gala, the chief director is your sister-in-law's uncle."
There is no need to say the rest. Zhuang Xueqing’s uncle, Jing Tianlin, personally came to ask for help in a low profile. This matter in itself is not something worth embarrassing. Chen Hao has no reason to refuse. If not for the good relationship between them in private, If he really wanted to receive multiple invitations through official channels, he was sure that his work schedule was not that busy and he had not participated in it for several years. He had no reason to refuse. In this way, Jing Tianlin and his wife would be in trouble. Favor, help, these three words came out of Jing Tianlin's mouth, they were renqing, and they were also a kind of affirmation of relationship between allies with interests or friends.
"good."
"Ha ha."
Chen Hao didn't cherish his words like gold, but he was serious about this relationship. Jing Tianlin didn't need to say any more unnecessary words. He patted the outside of his arm and laughed.
"Shall I buy you a drink?" Chen Hao looked at Brother Tian who was being interviewed from the far end, with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Now?" Jing Tianlin followed his eyes and understood in his heart that friends were harmlessly trying to trick each other, and a dead Taoist friend was not a poor Taoist. There was a smile on his lips: "I beg you, let your sister-in-law do it in person. kitchen."
"My sister-in-law is already cooking. Can I still catch the New Year's Eve dinner with my family on New Year's Eve?" Chen Hao made an embarrassed expression. Without Uncle Benshan's Spring Festival Gala, who will be in charge of the end of the card game and the beginning of the game? What is the time period for making and placing dumplings? Who will be the signal at that time point?
"Okay, it's not far from your home. Let's go home after the performance without delaying anything." Jing Tianlin saw Brother Tian's eyes glancing over and pulled Chen Hao away from the scene, leaving behind a message for the two of them. Brother Tian.
"I want to burn bridges. Is there a song with lyrics like this? I want to cry but I can't."
"Hahaha, come over to our house for dinner tonight." Jing Tianlin did not explain.
"Brother, let the people from their magazine come to my office tomorrow morning and I'll stay for half an hour." Playing and having fun can be regarded as a spice in life, and business will not really be delayed.
…………………………
Early the next morning, the magazine first came over and interviewed four questions for more than 20 minutes. There is no need to question how much he can leave. With Chen Hao's current influence, financial magazines must also Taking into account sales and network recognition, Tiange is just a shopping mall elite. With Chen Hao's embellishment and matching, traffic can be recognized by the market. In today's society, even specialized niche products have to bow their once noble heads in the face of market demand. Without market recognition, there is only one way for you to get in the future, and you will be slowly submerged by the torrent of history.
The people from the magazine here have just left. Zhai Yu, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala directing team, is already waiting in the reception room. Regardless of his identity as the chief director or Zhuang Xueqing's uncle, Chen Hao must stand up immediately and greet him quickly. At the door, there is the smile of the junior. Between the two identities, he must clearly tell the other person which one he cares about more.
Human beings are sophisticated, and after years of experience in society, no matter how stupid a person is, they know how to handle some things properly.
"Director Zhai, hello, please come in, please come in." In terms of title, it is businesslike, which is also a kind of respect for his work. This bit of knowledge may seem useless, but it is the most important thing in interpersonal relationships. He is also slowly mastering it through constant experience.
There is no need for a secretary to make tea. Chen Hao makes the tea himself, while the secretary prepares ashtrays, cigarette boxes and small fruit plates. Chen Hao likes to prepare one or two small fruit plates when meeting guests, which can shorten the distance between them. Lately, the tone of conversations has been less formal and more relaxed.
The chief director personally paid a visit and asked Chen Hao's request straight to the point. His sincerity and attitude were all in place.
"If you have any ideas or requests, feel free to ask. We are all family. I won't say any more polite words. We will tentatively set the time at 11:20. You will be given about ten minutes to perform. It is not a precedent. The Longitudinal Line has eight minutes. Our idea is to attract the attention of all the audience from the beginning of your performance. By the end of your performance, thousands of households are ready to start making dumplings and setting off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the New Year."
Chen Hao was listening very seriously. This time used to belong to Uncle Benshan, and before him it belonged to Zhao Lirong. He could not remember when it started. The audience no longer sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, play cards, Chatting and drinking, it seems that the sound of the Spring Festival Gala is framing the arrival of the New Year, but the content is difficult to stimulate the audience. I still remember when the big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan came to perform at the Spring Festival Gala. For a long time before the Spring Festival Gala, the media were promoting it, and young people were discussing it with each other. They really waited in front of the TV for the big names to appear. At that time, the Internet had not yet become mainstream. At that time, even mobile phones were new things. Entertainment news reports and entertainment newspapers on TV became the only way for everyone to know these stars in advance. Occasionally, they were photographed rehearsing or appearing at the Spring Festival Gala, which was considered important news.
The Internet has entered thousands of households, and from computers to smartphones. When all information can be known at any time and anywhere with just a flick of the finger, the appearance rate of big stars is no longer a rare thing. Locking the TV channel to the court on New Year's Eve is a habit rather than an expectation.
The time of eleven o'clock has become a time period to wake everyone up to the Spring Festival Gala. Uncle Benshan took over this important task, and the time of the skits has been repeatedly postponed, from 10:30 to 11:10, and 11:20.
"Uncle Benshan's skit is here!"
At this time in every household, when the host introduced him, when the applause was no longer polite or leading, people who played mahjong, cards, drank and chatted put down their "New Year's Eve love" and turned to the grand occasion that only happened 20 or 30 years ago. The whole family, young and old, waited in front of the TV. The adults gathered together to start making dumplings while watching the skit. There is strength in numbers. The dumpling filling is mixed and the dumpling dough is fermented. Seven or eight people gathered together to watch and make dumplings. Ten minutes is enough for the dumplings to be put into the pot in the early morning.
When the skit is over, if there are not enough dumplings, continue to make them. When there are enough dumplings, start to put them into the pot, and then set the table. Put some cold dishes left over from the New Year's Eve dinner and some cold dishes on the table. The children took firecrackers outside to set them off. When the dumplings are out of the pot and served on the table, the sound of firecrackers outside is heard. This time is basically when the clock strikes midnight.
This entire hour is the time period for everyone to recall the memories of the Spring Festival Gala. Therefore, in general, the programs in this period are either stars, nostalgic songs, or popular songs and dances to set the atmosphere, so that everyone will not even have the idea of watching Uncle Benshan's skits and leftovers.
In the 1990s, when the Spring Festival Gala was at its hottest, it used to last until more than 1 a.m., but in recent years, it basically ends before 12:30, which is basically when the family finishes eating dumplings. During this period, even men who drink only drink a glass or a bottle of wine, and then either go to bed or continue playing cards.
After Uncle Benshan, no one can carry this banner. The most lively "program alarm clock" is gone. Everyone's interest in the Spring Festival Gala is getting lower and lower. Every year, they are shouting for innovation and looking forward to a warm-up every year. This year, Zhai Yu was appointed in a critical situation. When the preparatory meeting was about to be held, he was suddenly put on the agenda. After he took over, he wanted to break those inherent patterns, but he also knew that it was almost impossible to break them by himself because he was not qualified enough.
Gold plating or continued failure, Zhai Yu didn't want such an opportunity to dance on the edge of a knife, and finally hurt himself, so he spoke up and asked everyone in the family for help with only one request. Everyone worked hard to help him invite Chen Hao to the stage.
With such a cheating helper, he had the confidence to do well in this year's Spring Festival Gala. He didn't ask for another chance in the future. The goal was to successfully gold plating this time. It would be enough to have a good resume for this year's Spring Festival Gala. He didn't care how difficult it would be for the successor next year.
Knowing that it would cost a lot of favors to invite Chen Hao in advance through personal relationships, Zhai Yu's bottom line was very clear. I would not break the established rules of the Spring Festival Gala. If Chen Hao came, everything would refer to the highest treatment that had ever happened in the Spring Festival Gala.
