This essay writing competition has such a huge investment that the director has a feeling it will be a huge success.
A grand event for literary creators!
The director was not the only one who understood the situation on the set. While everyone's attention was on the filming, Zhang Guangzhen walked hesitantly to Yuan Fenghui.
"I... I have something to say... Oh, I don't know how to say it!"
Zhang Guangzhen had a lot of ideas in mind, but he backed down when the time came.
Yuan Fenghui suppressed a laugh. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to go back to Taiwan? Why are you willing to come to Chengdu again? Who said that distance can't affect creative passion?"
Zhang Guangzhen puffed up his cheeks, making himself look like a fat eggplant. Looking at Yuan Fenghui's half-smile, his mind got heated and he directly revealed his true feelings:
"I want to ask you, can I be a judge too?"
A grand event for literary creators is about to come. It would be fine if it had nothing to do with Zhang Guangzhen, but it is right in front of us and Zhang Guangzhen is not invited to participate. Zhang Guangzhen is very upset.
Yuan Fenghui sighed: "We have been friends for many years. If I were you, I wouldn't say this today!"
ah?
Just reject it so out of the blue?!
Zhang Guangzhen felt extremely disappointed, his shoulders slumped instantly, and even his eyebrows drooped.
"It doesn't matter if it's not suitable..."
Yuan Fenghui said in a deep voice, "Lao Zhang, next time you encounter something like this, don't hesitate and hesitate. You look like a punching bag. No wonder Cao Bo and the others want to bully you. You should tell me directly and tell me confidently that you want to be a judge and let me find a way to arrange it!"
Zhang Guangzhen looked up and saw the seriousness on Yuan Fenghui's face.
“You, you—”
"What do you mean by 'I'? Not only do I have to be your agent, I also have to coordinate the interests of important people within the company. You're the most senior writer in the company now. Even a new writer like Wen Ying can be a judge, so why can't you? If it's the treatment you deserve, just tell me openly and I'll coordinate and fight for it on your behalf. If I let a veteran writer like you down, I'm not worthy of my current position!"
Yuan Fenghui's words were powerful. Zhang Guangzhen had a lot to say, but didn't know where to start.
He wanted to say that he knew Tianjiao and Yuan Fenghui both wanted to promote Wen Ying, and sponsoring the essay contest was to accumulate story materials for the company and also to pave the way for Wen Ying.
He is already middle-aged and has not achieved any particularly outstanding achievements in the first half of his life. The drama with the highest ratings is "The Princess' New Clothes", which he co-produced with Wen Ying.
No matter how you look at it, investing in Wen Ying is very cost-effective. She is young and talented, and can bring greater and longer-term benefits to Tianjiao.
And he… Zhang Guangzhen's throat choked. In fact, Yuan Fenghui's attitude was enough. He didn't really want to argue with the young man:
"Forget it, let's ask someone else to be the judge. Find a more famous screenwriter or a well-known figure in the mainland literary world. This will make the results of the competition more credible. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious!"
Yuan Fenghui flatly refused: "I am telling you seriously, you and Wen Ying will each take one seat on the three judges, and the remaining one will be assigned to Rongcheng Publishing Group."
Yuan Fenghui didn't waste any more time talking to Zhang Guangzhen. When she heard the director call "cut", she waved directly at Wen Ying.
After briefly expressing Zhang Guangzhen's concerns, Yuan Fenghui asked Wen Ying what she thought.
At this moment, Wen Ying showed no resistance to the awkwardness of being on camera. Her attitude was not only firm, but also unusually forceful: "If Teacher Zhang doesn't want to be a judge, then neither will I. I don't think the credibility of the competition needs to be worried. If anyone doubts the judges' ability, then they shouldn't submit their work. We've invested money and effort in this essay competition, so do we really have to listen to other people's dictates?"
Stop kidding.
No matter who is the judge, there will still be contestants who are not selected and feel dissatisfied.
Essay competitions are not like science competitions where the results are clear and can be judged by scores. The evaluation of essays will definitely be influenced by the subjective preferences of the judges.
This is true not only for the first "Tianjiao Starlight Cup", but also for any essay competition.
If the author minds this, he or she can simply not participate!
The purpose of holding the essay competition is to help Mrs. Wang spend money and promote "Xinghuo", not for charity.
It is considered very conscientious that there is no secret manipulation or internal prize distribution. It is the organizer's freedom to designate who to be the judges!
Yuan Fenghui laughed: "Lao Zhang, did you hear that clearly? Wen Ying's words are exactly what I think... Who will be the judges? The contestants don't have the final say. The organizers who pay the money have the final say!"
The little bit of sadness in Zhang Guangzhen's heart was blown away by this domineering speech that was like a hurricane.
Whether or not to be a judge became secondary. Zhang Guangzhen's heart was filled with peace of mind and confidence.
——Oh, you’re trying to trick a middle-aged man into crying again!
——He didn’t want to cry, but the feeling of being protected by others was really happy.
