The deputy director of Qiongzhou Island TV Station, Liu Huaying, was Director Liu whom Qin Rou had known at the radio station. Next to him was Zeng Xueqing, who was also a broadcaster. She had been transferred to the TV station.

"Sister Xueqing." Qin Rou greeted them with a smile.

She and Zeng Xueqing used to broadcast together during the noon time and were very familiar with each other. Zeng Xueqing looked at Qin Rou and smiled: "So many years have passed, Xiao Qin, you are now the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Amazing!"

Deputy Director Liu said from the side: "A talent that has come out of our Radio Bureau."

Director Wu of the TV station came to Qiongzhou Island recently. When he heard them chatting, he quickly asked: "Why, you all know President Qin?"

He looked at Qin Rou, thinking that this was a beautiful and powerful woman who should not be underestimated, as she could make her career so big.

"Xiao Qin used to be a broadcaster in our station. She was admitted to Lingnan University in 1977. She is a very outstanding female comrade."

Zeng Xueqing said with a smile, "More than that, when she was a broadcaster in our station, she won the excellent award every year. If Xiao Qin had not gone to take the college entrance examination and stayed in our station, she might have been transferred to the TV station to be a host." "She has

a good image and a nice voice."

In recent years, with the gradual popularization of television, in addition to broadcasters, there is another emerging industry called host.

The first host in the country is the host of a question-and-answer program.

"Really? Or a talent from our station." Director Wu was really shocked, "Is Xiao Qin married?"

He saw Qin Rou was young and beautiful, and thought she had just finished the college entrance examination in 1977 and was not married yet.

At this time, people are beginning to advocate late marriage and late childbearing. Many people get married after graduating from college.

"She's married."

"She has a son who's already ten years old."

"Really? She got married so early."

"Her husband is the chief of staff of the detachment at the island base. Both husband and wife are very outstanding..."

...

Qin Rou chatted with them briefly and immediately returned to the event site. She still had to go on stage to give a speech. As the newly appointed president of the Chamber of Commerce, she had a lot of things to deal with.

After being busy for most of the day, the founding ceremony was finally over. People from government departments, heads of major breeding plants, and people from TV stations went to the state-owned hotel for dinner.

After dinner, when Qin Rou was about to leave, Director Wu of Qiongzhou Island TV called her and said, "Chairman Qin, you are a person with ideas. Can you give us some ideas?"

Director Wu was thinking about this matter while eating. He had just taken over the important task of director of the TV station and had no experience before. Domestic TV stations are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and everyone is confused.

Now the ratings of Qiongzhou Island TV Station are not good, and basically not many people watch it. Director Wu wants to change the current situation and increase the TV station's audience.

Today he met Qin Rou and learned that she used to be a broadcaster, and later was admitted to Lingnan University. Now she has expanded the pearl breeding industry and has become the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Director Wu thinks that she is a person with ideas, who understands management and broadcasting, and may be able to give some ideas for the development of their TV station.

Director Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Since our TV station was established, not many people have watched our station every day. The ratings are too low."

"Chairman Qin, I heard from Xiao Zeng that you used to broadcast art programs, and many people liked to listen to your art programs. Now our TV station has also started broadcasting an art program, but I don’t know if it’s boring or what, no one watches it."

"They all watch other TV stations, but never watch our TV station."

Zeng Xueqing smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Qin, I don’t know if you have watched it. I was the host of that art program."

The times are different now. In the past, state-owned units allocated funds to receive salaries, but now many are required to be operated independently by local governments, and many art troupes have been contracted out. If their TV stations want to do well, become stronger and bigger, they must increase the number of viewers of their TV stations and increase revenue.

Qiongzhou Island TV Station has been on the air for a long time, but there have been few viewers. It can't keep going downhill.

Because no one is watching, the people in the station are not very motivated to work.

No one wants to work hard on the stage for most of the day, but no one is watching.

"Really?" Qin Rou was surprised, "I haven't seen it."

"You haven't seen it, most people on the island haven't seen it either." Even on the island, no one watches it, let alone other places.

It's difficult for their TV station to develop! Every step is difficult.

"Xiao Qin, you have studied for so many years, give us some ideas!"

Qin Rou thought for a moment, and she suggested: "Why don't we attract investment and introduce more popular TV series from Hong Kong or abroad to increase the audience ratings."

"The station has no money, how can we introduce TV series? There are not many people watching our TV station now, let alone attracting investment. People don't advertise on our TV station."

"There are not many people watching, what can we advertise on?" TV stations in other places have already appeared in the TV advertising model, and the effect is outstanding, such as Guangdong TV Station, and many brand products want to advertise on it.

But no one cares about their TV station.

"We can only have a simple arts program now, but this arts program is not attractive." In addition to the arts program, there is news and weather forecast. Because the TV station is just starting out, it is basically a variation of the previous radio programs, with the addition of announcers on TV.

"Now that we have changed from a radio to a television with a screen, we don't know how to innovate our cultural and artistic programs. Xiao Qin, what do you think? You used to be a broadcaster of cultural and artistic programs. How do you think our cultural and artistic programs can be changed to attract the audience?"

Qin Rou thought about it and asked, "Do you want to increase the ratings?"

"Yes, of course we hope that as many viewers as possible can watch our TV station."

Qin Rou gave Director Wu a suggestion: "Director Wu, why don't you consider adding a children's program and a... blind date program."

The program format of the current TV station is too monotonous. In addition to news and weather forecasts, the rest are TV dramas and commercials, and the previous cultural and artistic programs... Only TV dramas are the most attractive. However, the cost of introducing TV dramas is too high and it is not practical.

Unearthing homemade TV programs is the most cost-effective way to attract viewers.

Qin Rou thinks that a children's program suitable for parents and children can be added in the evening. In addition... in order to increase the number of TV viewers and make quick money, a popular gossip and blind date program can be created.

In addition to blind date shows, there are also programs for emotional mediation.

——The audience really loves to watch such emotional gossip shows.

These are considered low-cost programs. In addition, there are programs such as "Prize Challenge" and "Wisdom Questions and Answers", which are suitable for the start of a TV station.

Director Wu was stunned: "I know a little about children's programs, which are for children to watch. What does this... blind date program mean."

Deputy Director Liu said: "Men and women meet to find a partner?"

"Aren't blind dates all at home? How can it become a program?" Zeng Xueqing was also confused by Qin Rou's words.

Qin Rou said: "The format of a blind date show is... you find a few unmarried men and women, and let them go on a blind date to find a partner on the show."

Deputy Director Liu was confused: "... Will anyone come to watch this?"

Qin Rou: "What do you think?"

When she first went on a blind date with Lu Yan, it was a group of fake sisters who came to watch the show.

"Think about the reactions of people around men and women when they are dating."

"Your idea is good! I think it's feasible!" Director Wu's eyes lit up, "Think about it, when there is a blind date in the village, don't a group of people go to watch the excitement? Privately, they ask each other for information, and discuss behind their backs whether the couple will be successful or not, whether the man and the woman are a good match..."

Deputy Director Liu came back to his senses, "That's really the case."

"Indeed." Zeng Xueqing couldn't help but nodded, "Now that you mention it, I really want to see how young men and women are dating now."

"The audience can also learn about the conditions and requirements of blind dates through the show."

"Those who have never been in a relationship can watch the show to learn how to please and pursue love."

...

"Xiao Qin, do you want to tell me more about what else can be done with this kind of blind date show?"

Qin Rou smiled and said, "Your blind date show should advertise our Nandao Pearls. The show should be named after our Nandao Pearls. If the show matches a couple to get married, we will give them a pearl necklace at the time of the wedding."

"The enthusiasm of everyone watching will also increase greatly."

"By the way, when they go on a blind date, choose a place with beautiful scenery!"

...

The more Qin Rou thought about it, the more she felt that their Nandao Pearl Chamber of Commerce could cooperate with TV programs. Blind date shows are the most suitable for the promotion of pearl jewelry and wedding photos.

"Great! Can the pearl clothing we saw today be worn by the blind date participants on the show? This dress is really beautiful..."

Once they had an idea, everyone's thinking became more open, and they all felt that this blind date show has great potential.

Director Wu was very grateful: "President Qin, thank you so much, you have helped our TV station a lot."

Qin Rou smiled: "If your program is liked by the audience, you must help me promote my Pearl Craft Park."

"Of course! Of course!"

"If more viewers watch our TV station, I will definitely help you promote it!"

Director Wu took note of this favor, thinking that if their TV station can develop through this, they must remember to thank President Qin.

Help her promote it well!

Director Wu and others acted quickly. Not long after, they found the personnel and started filming the first blind date show. Soon, a promotional billboard was placed at the entrance of the Pearl Craft Park to promote the upcoming blind date show: "Heart to Heart".

Visitors to the Pearl Industrial Park saw the promotional sign and asked in confusion, "What? A TV blind date show?"

"TV blind date? Can blind dates be on TV? Don't blind dates take place in movie theaters, hotels, and homes?"

"Man and woman who are successfully matched and married can receive a necklace worth XX... Audience members who guess correctly in advance can also draw a prize worth XX..."

...

"This blind date show seems interesting. When will it be broadcast?"

"It's on Qiongzhou Island TV."

"Huh? We still have a TV station on the island?"

"It's on at 8 p.m., Wednesday night at 8 p.m. I still want to watch TV series."

"Try watching an episode of this blind date show."

...

Qiongzhou Island's first blind date show "Heart to Heart" has started airing. When it first started, there were many viewers waiting to watch it in advance. The people at the TV station couldn't help but clench their fists when they looked at the data behind them.

Compared with usual days, this is already a peak that has never been reached.

"Increase! Increase again!"

"More and more people are watching!"

"Don't get excited yet, this is only the first episode! We don't know if there will be viewers to watch it later!"

...

After the first episode of the blind date show was aired, by the second episode on Friday, the number of viewers watching the show had exploded.

Many people gathered in front of the TV waiting to watch this "Heart to Heart" blind date show.

"This show is quite interesting. They actually have blind dates on TV. Who has seen it before? I haven't. Look at what those men and women talk about. It's even more interesting than TV dramas."

"This girl's past experience made me cry. It's very similar to mine. I hope she can find a suitable man. I think No. 3 is quite suitable for her."

"So this is how blind dates work? We should pay attention to these issues?"

...

Qiongzhou Island's "Heart to Heart" blind date show has become popular. Several businesses have begun to seek advertising from TV stations. Qin Rou and their Nandao Pearls have been widely promoted in the show. In recent days, more and more couples have taken photos in Qinmian Wedding Photography Studio.

Even in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces across the strait, many people are watching their blind date show! ! ! !

The TV station received many letters from viewers, who expressed their love for the show, and even more people wanted to sign up for the show... After the TV promotion, many people have recently traveled to Qiongzhou Island.

They want to see the blue sky, white clouds, coconut trees and beaches, the pearl craft park, the beach pearl wedding dresses, and they also want to taste the fruit tea and various delicacies that the blind date guests drank on the show...

"We have the funds to introduce a TV series!"

After getting the money, Qiongzhou Island TV station introduced a Hong Kong TV series and a TV series shot in the mainland. Because they didn't have many TV series, they just played them back and forth.

Director Wu was excited. Their TV station finally started to take off. There were more and more TV viewers every day, and the staff of the TV station worked much harder than before.

The ratings were high, and their bonuses were also higher.

"We have to thank President Qin. If it weren't for her coming up with such a good idea for our TV station and her strong support for the development of our TV station, our TV station wouldn't be what it is today." "

We have to thank our President Qin for the show."

...

At the end of December, Qin Rou watched an episode of the "Heart to Heart" dating show at home.

It is said that the ratings of this show are rising steadily, and many families are discussing this dating show.

And this conscientious dating show has even helped to bring together several couples.

The host of the TV program "Heart to Heart" said affectionately:

"The newlyweds on the program should express their deep gratitude to our matchmaker Qin Rou. Without the strong support of Ms. Qin Rou, President of the South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce, there would be no Heart to Heart program today. This string of pearls represents President Qin's blessing to the two newlyweds. I hope these beautiful South Island pearls can witness your love..."

...

"On this day, we should affectionately call her Qin Hongniang. You are the initiator of our South Island pearl industry, and the matchmaker behind our Heart to Heart program..."

Qin Rou, sitting in front of the TV: "..."

Misty grass!

Which genius came up with this copy? ! !

Using her name like this? ! ! !

Do you want her to say thank you to that genius? ! ! !

Doudou and Rongrong said excitedly: "Mom, you are on TV! They are all grateful to you!"

Lu Weize asked in confusion: "Our mom is a matchmaker? Mom, how did you come up with this blind date show?"

Lu Weizhou guessed: "Because of our dad."

Lu Yan was very happy to hear his son's words. He smiled and said: "Your mom and I were introduced to each other in the past." He smiled and put his arm around Qin Rou's shoulders, and said happily: "This is a beautiful memory of your mom. When I went on a blind date with your mom, it was much more exciting than this show."

Qin Rou: "..." Absolutely not.

You dare to bring up the blind date in front of the children. You are too confident as a blind date show-off.

Doudou and Rongrong exclaimed, "Wow!!!"

"Dad and Mom are so romantic!"

Lu Yan said, "It's hard for your mom to remember it until today."

"Comrade Lu Yan, are you drifting?" Although she thought of this blind date show and indeed recalled the scene of that year, she was thinking of the group of sisters who were watching the show.

"It's drifting, isn't my other end of the string still wrapped in your hand? Wife, you have to pull it, remember to pull it for a lifetime, your comrade Lu Yan can't drift away."

Lu Yan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "When I was drifting on the sea, I thought of you every day."

Qin Rou's cheeks flushed at his hot breath, and she was angry and amused, and a heavy happiness filled her chest.

"Dad, doesn't he miss Doudou and Rongrong?"

Lu Weize supported his chin: "Don't you miss your favorite dumplings?"

Lu Weizhou: "..." Not knowing what to say, he ate a dumpling.

"I want to go home and sit next to your mother and watch you eat dumplings. Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay." Rongrong lowered her head and ate a dumpling, then asked, "Where's Mom? Mom, do you miss Dad?"

Without waiting for Qin Rou to speak, Rongrong asked herself and answered, "Forget it, Mom must miss Dad. Rongrong often sees Mom peeking at Dad's photos..."

Qin Rou was embarrassed and angry. She turned around and pinched Lu Yan's handsome face, saying disdainfully, "Look at the child you taught!"

"You peeped at my photos at home? You don't have to look at photos now. Just look at me more."

"Go away, go away. I won't look at you."

"How about waiting for Zhang Yichao next door to come back after completing his studies and letting him take a video for us? Then you can look at photos and watch videotapes."

...

The "Heart to Heart" program crew is not done yet. The program is becoming more and more influential. There are many families in the family compound waiting to watch the blind date program. They saw the promotion on the program.

The next day, they discussed curiously:

"Sister Qin is a matchmaker?"

"That's right. She and Chief of Staff Lu and his wife have helped to bring together several couples. It is said that Old Wang has to thank them for his marriage."

"That old Zhao said so before."

...

Let's not talk about the discussion in the family compound. There are even soldiers who come forward to recommend themselves:

"Sister Qin, can you introduce us to someone?"

"I also want to be on a blind date show!"

...

Qin Rou: "..."

Help, help!

She really doesn't introduce people to anyone! ! ! !

"I lost."

The blind date show on Qiongzhou Island TV was a hit, and Zhang Chengbei and his wife next door also watched the show.

Now he knows that this blind date show was actually the idea of ​​Xiao Qin next door.

"What did you lose?"

"This blind date show was Xiao Qin's idea. It is said that it was to commemorate her and Lao Lu's blind date and marriage under the introduction of the organization..." Zhang Chengbei said with a sour tone. Although he and Teacher Huang also met through a blind date, they dated for half a year before finally getting married.

How fast was Xiao Lu and his wife next door? It is said that they got married the second time they met. Their marriage was destined by heaven, and it can almost be said that it was a match made in heaven.

Now, in order to commemorate the romantic past, people have even created a blind date show to give back to the masses.

"Were we not also married through a blind date? Didn't so many people get married through blind dates back then?"

"Free love is popular now, and we pursue freedom."

"Can't we have free love on a blind date? I see that people are quite free on the show, if they like someone, they like him, if they don't like someone, they don't like him..."

"Dun Dun." Zhang Chengbei called his son, "You should also go on a blind date show in the future, so that your dad can see you on TV."

By the way, he can get to know the situation of his child's dating partner and know what kind of person the woman is in advance.

"You can let my brother go on a blind date, why should I go on a blind date?"

That's right.

Zhang Chengbei thought that there was a pair of beautiful sisters next door, and the old Wang family also had a beautiful and blessed daughter.

Who knows, his son might have already found a partner in the family compound.

"There are so many girls of similar age in our courtyard. Maybe our children don't need to go on blind dates and can find a partner directly among their playmates."

If he could marry Lao Lu's daughter, he would be so happy.

On the wedding day, Lao Lu next door would cry because his son married his precious daughter.

Then he would win! A big win!

Dun Dun is the most suitable match for the two sisters Tian Dou Rong next door. Yi Chao is too old and San You is too young. Dun Dun is just three or four years older than Tian Dou Rong.

In marriage, it is better for the man to be a little older than the woman. Otherwise, the legal age for marriage stipulated by the country is two years older than the woman. Even on this blind date show, it is said that older men are more caring.

For example, Liu Tiaotiao and his son Dundun are only a few days apart, and they are almost the same, so this is not suitable.

Zhang Dundun was silent for a while, thinking of his playmate Liu Tiaotiao, his good buddy, so he couldn't help but look up and said sincerely: "Dad, rabbits don't eat grass near the kennel." He would

never marry Liu Tiaotiao.

Would his dad want him to marry Liu Tiaotiao in the future?

Zhang Dundun was panicked, thinking of how much his dad liked Liu Tiaotiao, who was also his playmate in the courtyard of the same age, and the two were born only a few days apart.

Zhang Chengbei: "..." You, you kid, you know that rabbits don't eat grass near the kennel.

Forget it, it's okay for rabbits not to eat grass near the kennel.

There are not many childhood sweethearts in this world.

Li Qinghua's family is also a loyal audience of the blind date show "Heart to Heart". In their family, it is not Li Qinghua who likes to watch it, but her eldest son Liu Yue who likes to watch blind date shows.

He likes to watch these relationships between men and women. The stories written before are also very... well, complicated!

Liu Tiaotiao said to her mother: "Mom, is our brother preparing for blind dates in the future?"

Li Qinghua: "Who knows."

Huahua's mother is not interested.

Liu Yue said: "Tiaotiao, you need to be on this kind of blind date show."

"Do I need it?" Liu Tiaotiao thought that there are so many outstanding boys in their compound, such as the Lu brothers, and the few who play basketball with the Lu brothers. At the very least, there is her good buddy Zhang Dundun.

Their biological father Liu Kai said: "You both need it. Your mother and I also met through a blind

date." Li Qinghua: "Let our children find someone who is not much older than you."

Liu Kai: "???!"

"Do you dislike the fact that I am ten years older than you?"

"What's wrong with being older? You see, all the dating shows say that older people are more caring."

"Our Tiaotiao will find someone older than her."

What Qin Rou didn't expect was that in addition to highlighting her in the show to thank her, the program team also made a big surprise near the Pearl Craft Park.

A statue of a matchmaker.
