Chapter 218 Coordination
But Chen Xingzhi knew very well that although he would secretly be moved by the schoolmate Li Meng who had stars in her eyes and only had him in college, after everything had changed, he couldn't help but secretly be moved by the stubborn and smart Ren Li Meng now.
He wanted to be her support, not just sweet words.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi!
Ren Limeng: That’s not what I meant!
Ren Limeng suddenly doubted how Chen Xingzhi, with such a gentle attitude that was not afraid of losing out, could play games with the platform and the agency. Just based on his tolerance that only looked for reasons in himself, she alone was enough to make him lose all his money.
Although the words were still somewhat cold, they seemed to combine to form a warmth that could not be ignored. Thinking more deeply, Ren Limeng finally couldn't help but grin, her eyes full of smiles.
Chen Xingzhi: In short, please be safe. If you have any questions, please contact me immediately. I hope you can do what you say (helplessly spreading your hands)
Ren Limeng continued to reply to Shen Xingzhi's message on the phone with a smile on her face, and almost ignored the sound of the door suddenly opening. Until the sound of high heels approached, Ren Limeng suddenly looked up and subconsciously restrained the smile that could not be restrained at the corner of her mouth.
Ren Limeng nodded slightly and lowered her eyes, trying to block An Ling's inquiring gaze. Ren Limeng stood up and said calmly, "Sister Ling, you're back. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's no big deal for us to contribute to Gangcheng at this time. It's all our duty. Li Meng, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Ren Limeng and An Ling did not mention Zhong Yanjun, the director of the Orange Platform Entertainment Department, when they spoke, but as An Ling's brisk and clear words fell, the two of them reached an unspoken understanding when their eyes met.
Ren Limeng slowly reached out to An Ling's outstretched hand with her right hand. She smiled slightly and said softly, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Before An Ling went out, she not only asked for permission from Zhong Yanjun, but in just a few dozen minutes, she had even quietly made arrangements with the accompanying program crew and the local TV station in Gangcheng.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gangcheng TV Deputy Director Fan Ruofang led a group of subordinates to the hotel that had not been flooded. In the hotel conference room, Ren Limeng looked at the program crew who were hurriedly debugging the equipment, and her thoughtful eyes couldn't help but look at Dong Zhu who was greeting the TV station.
Gangcheng TV Station attaches great importance to this cooperation with Orange Platform.
The Orange Platform has had in-depth exchanges with the Jingchu Provincial Television Station and cultural and tourism-related units. Such high-standard and close cooperation is rare at the municipal level, almost the first of its kind, and is even more precious in the current emergency situation where Gangcheng is ravaged by floods.
With the help of the Orange platform and the wide influence of celebrity guests, Gangcheng TV Station can imagine that more people will pay attention to this sudden natural disaster and do their part for Gangcheng.
Fan Ruofang looked across the conference table and spoke politely in official language, "On behalf of Gangcheng TV Station and all the citizens of Gangcheng, I would like to thank the 'Mountains and Seas' production team and you four guests for your timely assistance. I really didn't expect Director Dong to take the initiative to contact our TV station. Now... everyone knows the situation in Gangcheng. I hope you can help us in Gangcheng while ensuring your own safety..."
"Mr. Fan, you're so polite. It's our honor. On behalf of the Orange Platform, I really want to thank you, the TV station, for your full support and cooperation in such an emergency. I'm sorry to bother you. We've already agreed that the four guests will split up into two groups..."
Dong Zhu smiled slightly and looked at An Ling and his group. Compared to the panic at noon, everyone was calm now, and some were even eager to try.
Time goes back ten minutes ago——
"Director Dong, are you kidding me? They're asking us guests to go out for a live broadcast in such extreme weather? Have the production team considered our safety?"
After Ren Limeng and the other three sat down in the conference room, Dong Zhu, on behalf of the program team, announced the decision to broadcast the flood relief work live in the afternoon. Li Qingzi frowned, her face full of disapproval, and she almost blurted out "Are you crazy?"
She looked around and saw the staff members had similar expressions of shock on their faces, while An Ling and Ren Limeng looked calm.
"Sister Ling, what do you think?"
Li Qingzi tried hard to maintain a gentle smile and turned to look at An Ling.
"Qingzi, since Director Dong has said so, he will definitely ensure our safety. However, going out in this situation is definitely dangerous. I believe Director Dong will not force all guests to attend. It is up to everyone's own wishes whether to participate or not."
An Ling smiled slightly. "Gangcheng is so beautiful. Suddenly faced with such an emergency, I can make some contributions to this place. As a public figure, it is my duty. Director Dong, I am willing to broadcast live this afternoon."
Dong Zhu nodded and continued, "Thank you for your support, Sister Ling. Qingzi, if you don't want to participate, just stay in the hotel. The production team won't force anyone, so please do as you please."
As he spoke, Dong Zhu's gaze turned to Ren Limeng and Fei Jingting.
"That's fine with me. I've done similar live broadcasts of flood relief efforts. Director Dong, are there any frontline photographers in Gangcheng who have filmed natural disasters or other special situations?"
Ren Limeng had already asked An Ling the same question in the hotel room. Now, she was just asking it knowingly in front of everyone.
"I just counted them and there are two people. A live broadcast requires at least four cameras. We are coordinating and conducting emergency training."
Ren Limeng couldn't help but remain silent for half a second. On the agricultural channel, two cameramen were enough, but the agricultural channel was not on the same level as the entertainment channel in terms of viewership and influence. Ren Limeng also understood Dong Zhu's concerns despite his sufficient preparation.
This is the first non-entertainment live broadcast on the entertainment channel, which can be said to be unprecedented. All staff members understand the value and significance of live broadcasting on such an urgent and important occasion. This is a live broadcast that the Orange platform cannot fail, and everyone hopes that it will be foolproof.
"Has anyone in our group ever filmed a racing or outdoor entertainment variety show? We could focus on training them. They should have advantages in all aspects of physical fitness."
Dong Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard Ren Limeng's suggestion. He immediately called the staff nearby to make emergency arrangements. Fei Jingting, who had been silent on the other side, finally made up her mind.
"I'll go live with you from the hotel this afternoon. Sister Ling is right. Such a beautiful place has encountered such a terrible thing. Since we have seen it, we should do our best to help. This is also the meaning and value of our "Mountains and Seas" program."
Although this was an emergency meeting within the program team and there were no cameras in the meeting room pointing at the guests, most of the program team's staff in Gangcheng were around at the moment, and the guests' performances were still visible to everyone.
As the other three people expressed their opinions, the smile on Li Qingzi's face began to fade. She silently turned off the phone that was used to message her agent Xu Jiao and looked at Dong Zhu again.
"Director Dong, there's a lot of flooding right now. Where should we go for this live broadcast in Gangcheng? Have we made arrangements? This is your first time doing disaster relief planning. In such an emergency, if we go directly to the front lines, will it disrupt the professional rescue efforts?"
"We'll discuss the specific location with Gangcheng TV later. Their locals are more familiar with the complex situation here, so we'll temporarily take on some of the TV station's work. Currently, we're planning to have your guests livestream from a safer location on the flood front, allowing everyone to focus on the latest developments in Gangcheng. This can be considered a reporter's report."
"Is there a safe place on the front lines? Sister Qingzi's concerns are not unreasonable. We haven't done any relevant reporting and haven't received any professional training. If we rashly go to the front lines, will it affect other rescue personnel?"
Fei Jingting's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "Why don't we broadcast live from the hotel? Although the road below the window isn't flooded, the flooding is obvious in the distance. The audience can get a feel for the situation in Gangcheng without having to mobilize a large group to go to the scene."
"Rescue workers are desperately trying to provide relief at the scene, while celebrity guests are live-streaming from their hotels, expressing their sorrow over the disaster. Jingting, do you really think this is appropriate?"
Before Dong Zhu could reply, An Ling had already turned her head to the side. She frowned slightly, her tone remained steady, but the gentle smile she had in front of the screen was gone from her face.
"……this……"
"Sister Ling, Jingting means well. Since Director Dong said our live broadcast equipment is good, why don't we just lend it to the TV station and have their professionals report on it. They can then thank our production team in the report? Or...we can split into two groups. Li Meng has experience, so why don't we send her as a guest representative to the scene and then connect live? Li Meng happens to be the team leader, so this arrangement won't cause any potential public opinion problems, and as non-professionals, we won't cause any trouble for the rescue workers."
Li Qingzi racked her brains to persuade him. As a young actress who needed a stunt double for the intimidating martial arts scenes, she always believed that many things only needed to be said, and there was no need to be too conscientious.
This is the norm in the entertainment industry, the tacit rule of the game. I believe that as the number one anchor on the Orange platform, An Ling would not want to be present at the live broadcast. No matter how nice her words are at this moment, only she herself knows everyone's inner thoughts, and An Ling may not be unmoved by her proposal.
Li Qingzi's eyes slightly shifted, and she looked calmly at Ren Limeng, who had a calm expression. Since Ren Limeng said that she had no problem and was so eager to try, she didn't mind letting Ren Limeng take the lead alone at this time.
It's fine if everyone takes what they need.
"Qingzi, if you don't want to go, you can stay in the hotel. Director Dong has already said that the production team won't force anyone. But you don't have to make the decision for us. I'm willing to go to the scene. In the face of a disaster like this, the rescue workers are far too few compared to the victims. I'm an entertainment channel host, and I'm not a very professional reporter, but I don't think my presence would be anything but a drag."
An Ling looked at Li Qingzi seriously with a stern face. Her face darkened and her solemn tone immediately quieted the atmosphere in the meeting room. With a hint of solemnity, Ren Limeng suddenly spoke.
