Chapter 458 Aren’t You Worried?
The black-hearted boss Ye Qian went to the TV station after finishing her work in the company.
She has been appearing on TV quite frequently recently. All the staff members in the station know her and they all greet her when they see her.
Of course, this time when they came to the station, they brought Wang Qiong along with them: "Let's go watch the rehearsal together later. You should not look down on newcomers, okay? Get to know them well. What if they become famous in the future? We might need them later."
Wang Qiong didn't feel anything, but Ye Qian knew how many veteran actors would be among the first batch of newcomers to the Spring Festival Gala. She was very excited just thinking about it.
"I understand. I will work hard."
Wang Qiong was speechless. She was a vice president of a company and was not supposed to do social public relations. But they asked her to do it, and their company really didn't have anyone in charge of this area, so she could only do it on her own.
In two days, it wasn't difficult to make some minor changes to the first batch of programs that were approved. Today, Ye Qian also came to inspect the results, but before she even started watching, the station director came to tell her, "The schedule of this program isn't right, so we might need to add a few more programs."
"Then add more people. You can find someone else and we can take a look and rehearse again."
The director nodded: "Okay, as long as you have no objection."
"No, I'm just an employee, so why would I have any objections? Just make the arrangements."
"Okay, let's watch the revised program first."
"Um."
After watching the show, the effect didn't meet Ye Qian's expectations. You say she didn't make any changes, but she actually did. If you say she did make changes, it's the same as not making any changes. It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed, but fortunately there's still time. "It's not bad, but it's not too exciting. Your works all lack a burst of excitement. They're too bland. Shows like this are okay to watch at the time, but if you watch them repeatedly, they don't have much meaning. So I personally think this change is not particularly good."
At this time, several performers were a little dissatisfied. They were all professionals and had been performing for many years. Which audience member would not be all smiles after watching their show? Why did Ye Qian think it was not good? "You are a movie director, not a skit. What do you know as a little girl?"
The man spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor soft, and everyone who should hear it could hear it. Ye Qian was naturally attracted by the voice, but she didn't mind it too much. It was good to have opinions. This was her first time doing the Spring Festival Gala. She had watched it for decades, but this was her first time doing it herself, so it was inevitable that there would be problems. If his opinions were good, they would also allow her to make some improvements. However, the person in front of her was quite unfamiliar. "Then tell me what is good about your skit."
"Of course our skits are good everywhere. We have been performing this skit for several years and have performed it in various places. It always makes everyone laugh, even the staff on the station are the same. Why does it need improvement when it comes to you?" The man said with some dissatisfaction.
"I didn't say your skit was bad, I just said it needs improvement." Ye Qian explained word by word.
The man said with obvious impatience: "Don't play with words here. Aren't 'improved' and 'bad' the same thing?"
"How can it have only one meaning? This is not a meaning at all. I was talking about improvement, but you didn't understand at all. You have to understand the significance of our TV station to the country. It can't just be a simple joke. It needs to be educational and make people understand some truths in a funny way."
No one says that being funny is bad. On the contrary, a funny work can make you laugh and cry and can savor it for a long time. Such a funny work is meaningful. It is okay to watch a purely funny work like this in your spare time, but you can't watch it for a long time. It will be meaningless after watching it once or twice. Fortunately, that person is on tour, otherwise if he performs in one place for a few shows, there will be no one watching it.
"You talk nicely, come on, write a skit that is educational, funny, and can make people understand some truths." It's easy to say, but he has no idea how difficult it is to do it. He was deliberately making things difficult for Ye Qian.
"Sure." Ye Qian agreed easily.
She actually had this idea too, but the director didn't mention it, and she was embarrassed to mention it. She had watched a lot of jokes from later Spring Festival Galas, and comedians were also her favorite. Copying them would definitely not work, but imitating similar jokes was still possible.
"Then I'd like to see what kind of skit you can come up with." The man clearly looked down on Ye Qian. "But you have to give us a time, right? We can't keep waiting around, or we'll miss the main show."
"One week, next week today, right here, let's all watch and give a fair result."
A week is enough. The jokes can be written in one or two days. The company also has artists, so we just need to rehearse. A week should be enough. Besides, it is just the initial rehearsal. Any small problems can be corrected after a few more times. As long as the theme and meaning are clear, it will be enough.
"Okay, just one week." The man agreed, and the performers on the scene also agreed.
At this time, the director was grinning from ear to ear. He had this idea a long time ago, but he didn't make this request because he was worried that Ye Qian would be too busy. Although it was not her who proposed to do a program, his original idea came true. If Ye Qian did not show up, she would definitely amaze everyone. He was looking forward to next week's program.
Since Ye Qian had a mission, she naturally didn't waste time on the stage. After the actors had dispersed, Ye Qian also said goodbye: "Director, I'll go back first. I'll come back next week."
"Okay, go back. If there's anything, I'll contact Ms. Wang and have her tell you. You just worry about your own business."
The director sent Ye Qian and Wang Qiong to the door, but his mouth never drooped. It was obvious that he was very excited. Ye Qian couldn't stand it any longer: "Director, you are laughing at me. You haven't closed your mouth from the beginning to the end."
The director immediately turned serious, his whole body full of resistance as he said, "What are you talking about? I'm looking forward to it. I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. See you next week."
"Whatever you say, I'm leaving."
Ye Qian finished her words and left with Wang Qiong without looking back. Wang Qiong didn't come back to her senses until she and Ye Qian left the TV station and walked for a while. "I didn't expect that your life at the TV station wasn't easy either."
"Survival is hard. There are always people looking for trouble and insisting that I use my strength to slap them in the face." Ye Qian was obviously in a relaxed mood and her steps were brisk.
"Aren't you worried?" Wang Qiong asked.
