Chapter 75 The Desperate Hostess
Jia Wenyan: "Disband... transfer?"
"Yes, maybe most people think that if they join a state-owned enterprise or the system, they will have a stable job, but there are also differences in the treatment of positions within the system."
"The main creators of the program are from the system, and the ordinary clerks are also from the system."
"Although we won't lose our jobs, the drop in our salaries will have a huge impact on our lives."
"At least for outsiders who need to pay rent, many low-salary jobs within the system cannot afford life in our big cities."
"We are CCTV employees. Those who can enter CCTV are carefully selected after going through many rounds of screening. Of course, we know that many people are saying that we have been producing some programs that no one watches."
"But the problem is that this is CCTV's positioning. Some programs with high ratings may not make money but they must exist. For example, those documentaries, and programs like ours that promote traditional culture."
"It's hard to get any ratings, but it has to have a small audience, because CCTV is the backup. But now, with the integration of resources of your Yongan Group, it is developing better and better."
"In the future, you will definitely have your own traditional cultural programs, and by then CCTV will no longer need to operate a column group like ours just to provide a safety net."
"Then our team will be transferred to other project teams, but..."
Jia Wenyan: "You mean the quota for CCTV staff is fixed, right?"
Dong Lele: "Yes, normally the job transfer should be between jobs of the same type, but if the whole group is disbanded, even CCTV, with its size, will find it difficult to find sufficient jobs in the first place."
"But fortunately, if our program group is eliminated in the future, the biggest possibility is that the Yongan Group has already launched a very suitable cultural promotion program."
"Therefore, considering the actual situation, CCTV will most likely open another propaganda theme for our project team that needs support. Although it will not have a big impact on our treatment, if that happens..."
"For many people in our production team, it's like starting over from scratch."
Jia Wenyan: "But as far as I know, the ratings of "Golden Years" are not bad among CCTV programs, and your past filming on food culture even surpassed the once popular "A Bite of Donghuang"."
"But once the Yongan Group launches its own programs, the entire traditional cultural television system will undergo a major upheaval."
"At present, Yongan College already has experts in nearly 80% of Donghuang's intangible cultural heritage skills. If you want, you can complete the production of the program in the college without leaving home. This is an advantage that other teams do not have."
"Add to that your animation IP system. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the people you choose are not useless, Yongan College can dominate this field."
"It's just like it's hard for local TV stations to make it to CCTV. Everyone has a different starting point, so the upper limit they can reach is different."
Dong Lele said this and glanced in the direction of the classroom.
"Although we are not craftsmen, we have been working in this field for several years."
"I also hope that I can reach the pinnacle in this field."
"I don't want to give up the knowledge and experience I have accumulated in the past, so this time I came here not only to complete the promotional cooperation we agreed on in advance, but also to open a separate show on my own."
"I believe that your Yongan department will start producing its own programs sooner or later, so I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself with my team members."
"I will use this episode to prove that our team is definitely not the old-fashioned team that people stereotype us as."
"I will be responsible for the production costs of the program. I believe that compared to building a team from scratch, a ready-made team like ours will be more suitable for the current publicity needs of the Yongan Group."
Jia Wenyan: "But you are from CCTV after all. The entire program team..."
"You can rest assured about this. I have already communicated with the higher-ups. If you, President Jia, agree, our "Golden Years" program team can directly resign and merge into the Yongan system."
"The copyright of all the programs we produced belongs to the Yongan Group. CCTV has only one request, which is that they hope that "Golden Years" can continue to be broadcast on CCTV."
"The China Media Group will negotiate with the Wing On Group on a reasonable price for TV copyrights. As for the online network platform, it is entirely up to the Wing On Group to decide."
Dong Lele: "To put it simply, CCTV requires that a satellite TV station logo be displayed on the program."
"Of course, you can also choose to cooperate with the provincial TV station in northern Shaanxi, but the Yongan Group will definitely take the path of international publicity in the future, so I think cooperating with CCTV is the best option."
"But of course, considering the local effect, we can also choose the dual-channel broadcast format. But I think the best way is to broadcast some more formal themes on CCTV, and then prepare some more entertaining programs on Shaanxi Satellite TV that can attract more ratings and attention."
"I know that the Yongan department where President Jia works is fully capable of forming its own team, but based on my six years of experience in the industry, there are not many production teams in China that truly understand Donghuang culture."
"At this point, we at The Gilded Age can not only take up the post directly, but can even bring our past advertising cooperation to the Wing On Group."
Dong Lele: "What do you think?"
"Overall, there is no problem, but as you said, many things still need to be decided based on the ratings and online reviews."
"And I think you should also be very clear that the Yongan system itself is currently in the spotlight of traffic. A pig with a head tied to it can still fly on the wind, so many simple program data cannot represent everything."
Jia Wenyan: "So if we really want to implement this plan, we will need at least a quarter to determine your actual capabilities, but of course Yongan College will be responsible for the production expenses during this period."
"Understood. I will prove to everyone the capabilities of our team."
Jia Wenyan: "That's easy to say. I believe that you have the confidence to give up your stable job in the system and come to us. But have the staff behind you made up their minds to support you?"
When Jia Wenyan said this, she immediately glanced at the production team behind Dong Lele.
Seeing this, Dong Lele quickly responded:
"Yes, just like what you just said, the transfer of our production team this time is not only our job change, but also a way for CCTV to try to cooperate with the Yongan Group."
"So I had already communicated with the members of the production team before coming here. In addition to colleagues who are willing to work with me in Xian'an, our current team also has some talents who have been exchanged with other production teams."
"Those staff who want to stay in the capital have already communicated with other groups in advance. If you refuse, we will pretend that nothing happened and the entire team will continue with their normal work. But if you agree, those colleagues who did not come will be replaced by staff from other groups."
"But don't worry. Among the fifteen people I brought with me, only five are interns we recruit every year. The other ten are elites who have worked at the TV station for at least three years."
Jia Wenyan: "I see. Now that we've come to this point, I'd like to ask if you have any new ideas about the types of programs that Yong'an College can produce."
"It is the innovation beyond the existing form of your Gilded Years!"
Dong Lele: "We have currently prepared roughly five types of programs based on different production budgets."
"In addition to the regular science and education interviews, there are high-cost entertainment-oriented script-killing and secret room decryption theme variety shows, and medium-cost children's handicraft training programs that can cooperate with surrounding primary schools."
"Another option is to collaborate with local art academies to create short plays."
"I have analyzed the setting of Yongan Theme Park. Since you have chosen to build a theme park, there must be a theater for performances. Therefore, I have discussed at least five episodes of situational drama scripts with the team planning."
"In addition, considering the positioning of Yongan College, I hope to include the evaluation of various majors of Yongan College into the selection of variety shows."
"I remember you mentioned in the Yongan College enrollment guide that Yongan College offers scholarships to students with outstanding skills every year."
"There are twelve major categories of projects and twelve programs every year."
"I hope to adapt this part of the evaluation into a variety show. The academy can select several candidates in different fields, and then our program team can arrange some relatively entertaining skills challenges."
"I believe everyone will also want to see what level the elites that Yongan College trains every year can reach."
…
Dong Lele's speech speed was getting faster and faster. At first, Jia Wenyan just wanted to test the other party's strength, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to be opened up and revealed a lot of plans that were almost formed.
For nearly half an hour, Dong Lele was like a rapper, continuously expressing his ideas at a high speed.
The way of explaining the topic, which changes every three minutes on average, is completely beyond the level that can be conceived for a project.
Jia Wenyan even began to suspect that the other party had too many overly "out-of-the-box" ideas rejected at CCTV over the years, which was why he was able to come up with so many ideas in a short period of time at once.
only……
Jia Wenyan: "Um...are you sure you don't need to drink some water first?"
Dong Lele: "Um... sorry... I tend to lose track of time once I get into work mode."
"It's okay, but before that I hope you can help me come up with a plan."
Jia Wenyan: "It's the preview of Yongan College's Journey to the West theme program."
