Chapter 18 Assistant to the Chief Planner



Li Wan is decisive in her actions. As soon as Lin Yao and the other five people left, she immediately called Fang Xiaole.

At this moment, Fang Xiaole is studying some introductory courses on variety show planning and directing downloaded from the Internet.

Although he easily wrote three consecutive new plans for "Super Challenge" with the help of Earth's memory, Fang Xiaole still hoped that he could master the professional knowledge in this industry.

Since he couldn't sing anymore, he needed to set a new goal for himself.

This new goal is to become the chief director of a popular variety show, using it as a stepping stone to climb to higher peaks.

Or, when he has a higher position and more connections, will he be able to find a way to cure his throat?

Fang Xiaole made up his mind that no matter whether this new plan would succeed or not, he would continue to work towards this goal.

Ding-a-ling.

The cell phone rang, Fang Xiaole picked up the phone, it was Li Wan.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Director Li was also a workaholic. He called him so late both times.

"Hello, Director Li."

"Xiao Fang, your plan has been approved. We will begin preparations for the second episode tomorrow."

Li Wan didn't say anything polite as usual. He got straight to the point and said, "Come to the station for a meeting tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. Oh, it's on the fifth floor, in the conference room next to my office."

"I understand. Thank you, Director Li."

Although he was mentally prepared, Fang Xiaole was still a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Wan to be so efficient.

"Oh, by the way, your current position is the assistant to the chief planner of Super Challenge."

Li Wan paused and added apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Fang, you don't have the qualifications in this area. Even I can't make you the chief planner all of a sudden.

But don't worry, all of these plans are signed with your name, which will become your qualification for future promotions."

"It's okay, I understand. Thank you, Director Li." Fang Xiaole quickly expressed his gratitude. He could feel that Li Wan's apology was not fake.

This is indeed the reality. Although Li Wan is the chief director, she has directors, deputy directors and even directors above her. It is already very good that she can help him jump from a temporary worker to the assistant chief planner.

Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

What's more, Fang Xiaole only had this variety show in his mind, and he still needed to find a way to further pry open the treasure trove of his memory.

Not long after the call with Li Wan ended, Hong Sanshi also called. He had just learned that Fang Xiaole's plan was successfully approved, and immediately called to congratulate him.

The two chatted for a few words. Hong Sanshi had a big night show to shoot, so they agreed to meet again in a few days when the show was recorded.

Putting down his phone, Fang Xiaole searched the Internet for some books on variety show planning, scene arrangement and recording. After reading for a while, he found that most of them were theoretical and did not have much practical significance.

Ding, the continuous WeChat notification sound rang out. It was sent by Hong Sanshi.

Fang Xiaole picked up the phone and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment, then felt a little touched.

What Hong Sanshi sent over were lecture videos of several famous planners and directors in the variety show circle, with a total of more than ten classes.

Fang Xiaole had seen the introductions of these people on the Internet. They were all big names in the circle. He didn't expect that they had actually made lecture videos specifically on this subject.

This is like timely help to Fang Xiaole at the moment.

"Brother Hong, thank you!!"

"Just saying thank you doesn't count. I have to treat you to a meal. Anyway, you've been promoted and got a raise now, so you're not short of money."

"Okay, no problem!"

After making an appointment with Fang Xiaole to have dinner the day after the recording, Hong Sanshi suddenly sent another message.

"By the way, besides Li Wan and me, you have to thank someone else for the success of your plan this time."

"who?"

"Lin Yao, if she hadn't supported your plan, you wouldn't have made it past the guest stage."

Hong Sanshi seemed to be bored waiting for his scene on the set, so he sent a long voice message, vividly describing the thrilling process of the five guests' voting.

"She's probably not helping me, but giving face to Brother Hong and Director Li, right? Or maybe it's because my plan is really brilliant and it impressed her."

"Fuck you Fang Xiaole, you always look so serious, but it turns out you're even more shameless than me! I'll stop talking now, it's my turn to shine. Bye!"

“…”

The next day, Fang Xiaole came to Apple TV early in the morning.

"Xiao Fang is here. Xiao Su, take Xiao Fang to the conference room first. I'll be right there."

Li Wan arrived earlier than him and was looking at the details of the preparatory work. Seeing Fang Xiaole arrive so early, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he told Su Yu to take him to the meeting room.

"Assistant Fang, please come this way!"

Su Yu came over skipping and playfully made a please gesture to Fang Xiaole.

"Thank you for your help." Fang Xiaole smiled and followed her.

When they were a little further away from Li Wan's office, Su Yu turned around and said to Fang Xiaole with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen someone get promoted so quickly like you. It turns out my judgment was right!"

"Uh, I have to thank you, Assistant Su. If it weren't for your help on the day of the interview, I might not have been able to join the program team."

Fang Xiaole pretended not to understand some of the meanings in Su Yu's words and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

"Is that all?"

Su Yu widened her eyes, looking very dissatisfied: "You are too stingy, you don't even treat me to a meal?"

"Of course I will. It depends on when you are free, Assistant Su."

"Well, we have to prepare for a major change in the program content these days, so we will definitely have to work overtime, otherwise..."

Su Yu tilted her head back and pointed her small index finger in the air: "So, tentatively, the first night of the show?"

"Okay, you decide!" Fang Xiaole agreed readily, but felt a little sorry for wasting his precious study time.

I invited Su Yu to dinner on the first night of recording, and invited Hong Sanshi to dinner on the second night of recording. So I couldn’t study for two nights.

Seeing that Fang Xiaole agreed to her, Su Yu was very happy. She hummed a song along the way, and the two of them soon arrived at the meeting room.

After waiting for a while, people came in one after another. I think they were all from the "Super Challenge" program team.

Fang Xiaole knew some of them, such as Zhong Liliang and Luo Hui. When they saw Fang Xiaole, they came over to congratulate him and chatted with him for a while.

There were also some people Fang Xiaole didn't know, such as a man who looked young but had completely white hair. As soon as he came in, he stared at Fang Xiaole without blinking, which made Fang Xiaole feel creepy.

Could it be that I was promoted too quickly and inadvertently blocked other people's way, so I was hated by others?

"His name is Zhang Zhiqin, and he's also in the planning team. I heard he was originally going to be the assistant to the chief planner, and..."

Su Yu saw Fang Xiaole looking towards the white-haired young man, and suddenly said excitedly in his ear:

"He's actually the deputy director's nephew."

At this time, Li Wan walked into the meeting room.

"Time is tight, so let's get started. I called everyone here today to discuss the recording of the second episode. Before that, let me introduce you to a new colleague from the planning team."
