Zhang Hongcheng has been eyeing the top television station for a long time.

Ever since the May Day holiday, when the Beijing Station was changed to the highest station, Zhang Hongcheng has been trying to observe the original highest station from many perspectives.

Based on his observations during this period.

He found that the former Beijing TV, which had become the highest-ranking TV station, had to be cautious and tread carefully on thin ice with every step.

The newly born Supreme Television Station only broadcasts for a few hours a day, and the rest of the time you can only see black and white circles.

It is still in the cautious exploration stage, so how could the highest TV station accept soft-text advertisements designed by others?

Besides, it is definitely not allowed in policy.

With such a strictly guarded environment and review process, anyone else would have given up long ago.

But Zhang Hongcheng felt that when everyone thought that such a thing could not happen, doing it quietly would be the least noticeable.

As long as the method is used appropriately, no one will think about the soft-text advertisements he has made.

In many people’s memories, the first TV series broadcast by the Supreme Television Station was "Nineteen Years Behind Enemy Lines" (I added one more year).

The ratings of this drama have always been at the top of the Chinese TV drama ratings list.

There is no other way. When this drama is broadcast, the whole country can watch this channel. Everyone with a TV will see this drama as long as they turn it on.

In fact, the first TV series broadcast by the Supreme Television Station was a romance film, which was produced in 1979, the same time when Zhang Hongcheng was alive.

There Was a Young Man.

The leading actor is the young emperor.

It tells the story of young people's study and love.

Based on the information obtained by the fat man, Zhang Hongcheng learned that the male protagonist's surname was Gu, and his name was Gu Minghua, and he was a young worker.

The heroine Xu Wei is intellectual and beautiful.

The two went from knowing each other to falling in love through three stages: meeting in the library, giving an umbrella in the rain, and reuniting in the theater.

In the end, the male protagonist achieved success in both scientific research and love.

From the name to the plot, it is a typical female-oriented setting in later generations.

I heard that the crew management is quite strict, with scripts and lines being reviewed layer by layer, and each actor rehearsing repeatedly before performing.

After much deliberation, Zhang Hongcheng finally found two areas where he could intervene.

First of all, these actors are all students from the 7th and 8th classes of the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Arts (Beijing Film Academy).

The students of the China Arts Institute are helping the crew, and some props are temporarily borrowed from the students' dormitories.

The second and most important point.

Thanks to Minzu University’s special status, its professors are often transferred by their superiors to participate in various assessments and reviews.

Comrade Lao Shao, the head teacher of Zhang Hongcheng's class, is a professor of political science and happens to be one of the script reviewers designated by the crew.

Director Qin and Zhang Hongcheng conspired for two days, and finally brought in Lao Jie from the Teaching Department.

On the third day, Director Jie strolled into the logistics department. He took the tea that Zhang Hongcheng handed over to him attentively and then sighed.

"You're absolutely right," he said, glancing at Director Qin with some melancholy. "Zhongyi is indeed filming a TV series. I've inquired about it, and the budget for the entire show is indeed very small, only 550 yuan."

Director Qin immediately coughed.

"Five hundred and fifty is already a lot. When did you, Old Jie, actually stop caring about five hundred and fifty yuan?"

Zhang Hongcheng hurriedly refilled Director Qin's glass of water.

"Teachers, I think this budget actually refers to other expenses."

"I heard they didn't even take into account the crew's other consumables. The film was taken from the warehouse and wasn't included in the calculation."

"From the director to the actors, everyone worked on a voluntary basis. I heard they even had to look for companies to borrow the filming location for free."

"After all, these five hundred and fifty yuan are the cost of food and transportation for the entire crew."

Director Qin did not continue to argue with Director Jie, but took the opportunity given by Zhang Hongcheng to back down.

He chuckled and flicked the envelope he had prepared long ago.

"Although the TV station is the lead organization for this drama, the important supporting organization, China Arts, is ultimately our sister organization."

"I've reported this to the principal and other leaders, and the 500 yuan has been approved."

"Old Jie, you know that Old Shao is incredibly clever. If I were to give him the money and have him donate it to the crew," Director Qin pointed at Zhang Hongcheng with a smile, "he'd immediately suspect his students."

Director Xie looked at Zhang Hongcheng in confusion and then stared at Director Qin intently.

"Tell me the truth, both of you. What the hell are you hiding with these five hundred dollars?"

"Teacher Jie is like this."

Facing Director Qin's half-smile, Zhang Hongcheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and start to fool Director Jie.

"The Red Cardinal Electric Fan Factory under our school has been doing pretty well lately."

"I heard that several economics teachers are planning to go to the factory to conduct management experiments recently."

"But it seems that the higher-ups are not very interested in the reports submitted by these teachers."

"So Director Qin and Director Su are thinking about whether they can make our subsidiary companies more eye-catching."

"Director Su has prepared a new workshop and is ready to lend it to this crew for free."

"After all, being on TV is an honor, isn't it?"

Director Xie stared at Director Qin in confusion. He didn't believe Zhang Hongcheng's nonsense at all.

It’s not that Director Xie is not smart, but the limitations of the times made it impossible for him to imagine what Zhang Hongcheng wanted to do.

With the help of Teacher Shao and the China Arts Student Union, the crew happily accepted a donation of 500 yuan from Minzu University and free support from the Red Cardinal Fan Factory.
