However, the program content is extremely monotonous, consisting mainly of domestic and international articles, revolutionary stories, documentaries, performances, and academic lectures.
Starting this year, a one-hour program has been added at 9:00 AM.
So, it's a trend for Professor Zhao to have her contact a TV station.
In April, as the weather was just starting to warm up, Ke Meiyu wore a white round-neck shirt, a ginger-yellow long sweater over it, black skinny jeans, black boots, and a camel-colored leather bag.
Her shiny black hair was loosely braided into a centipede braid and wrapped with a floral fabric headband. She had spent about ten minutes styling her bangs, making her look youthful and radiant!
The TV station is located in the city center, some distance from the university town; it's about a seven or eight bus stops away.
However, Ying Yan still rode his motorcycle to take her there, ostensibly to give her courage, and arranged to have lunch together.
With the letter of introduction from Professor Zhao, Ke Meiyu arrived smoothly at the station director's office.
After a brief introduction, Director Pang warmly welcomed her and asked a junior staff member to brew some good tea. "Xiao Ke, please sit down. Old Zhao called me yesterday and said that his prized student is coming to the station for training."
"I thought he was a young man with glasses, but I didn't expect Xiao Ke to be so good-looking. He even outshone our star performer."
Ke Meiyu naturally smiled and declined.
After the junior staff member left, the station director glanced outside before whispering, "Old Zhao told me about the newspaper. At the time, we all thought it was written by Yu Mengni, and we even wanted to invite her to do a program."
"She made excuses, saying that all she knew was this little bit of knowledge, and that she had squeezed it all out in those few articles and recordings. But that didn't stop her from being promoted to the position of deputy director of the newspaper."
“Kids these days are all obsessed with specialization. If you ask me, only those with real skills can go far by being down-to-earth. Just you wait and see. Once you make your appearance on the show and expose her lies, you'll see what awaits her.”
Ke Meiyu was surprised that the station director had spoken so frankly with her, and then she understood.
The television station is developing, and the changes from last year to this year show that the quantity and quality of programs are the goals pursued at this stage. Being able to have one more long-term and stable program, especially in response to the organization's call for foreign language teaching, is a significant achievement!
The station director's words were actually meant to help Ke Meiyu quickly develop a sense of belonging to the television station.
Since Ke Meiyu went straight to the TV station first, it was because she liked it. It wasn't that she liked to show off or let the whole country know her through television.
Rather, television sets have visuals, which can present the fun of foreign languages in more ways. Moreover, television programs can be directly extracted and sent to radio stations, or even re-edited and sent to newspapers.
On the contrary, radio and newspapers present information in a limited and uncommon way.
After exchanging a few words, the station director paused for a moment before getting to the point: "Xiao Ke, what is the main format of your prepared programs? How many programs will you host per week, and how long will the intervals be between each program? Do you have a detailed teaching plan?"
Before coming, Ke Meiyu had studied the TV programs, such as elementary mathematics, foreign language lectures, technical lectures, and simplified Chinese character schemes, which were only broadcast every one or two days. There were two programs, one leaning towards news and education, and the other leaning towards entertainment and appreciation.
Moreover, many programs are rebroadcasts, which is intended to ensure that some office workers do not catch the important content and to extend the overall length of television programs.
She chuckled and said, "Director Pang, actually I'd like a program schedule of about 40 to 50 minutes each day. There are seven days a week, and the program content can be diverse, such as stage plays, songs, recitations, stories, lectures, skits, TV dramas, and so on."
"Of course, if you can allocate us more time, I'd be happy to accept it!"
The station director looked at her in surprise, "Young lady, don't talk big. Making a program is not an easy task. One episode, or two or three episodes a week, is fine, but if there are programs every day, can you keep up?"
"As the saying goes, 'One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage.' Although most of our programs are pre-recorded and edited before broadcasting, the time is tight, and we usually only need a few takes."
Ke Meiyu raised an eyebrow and said, "If the station director is not at ease, you can allocate a new time slot for me every day. I will record the program for the following week a week in advance, and if there is no slot, I will leave it empty."
"If all else fails, we can always replay it; we should at least give it a try."
The station director smiled and nodded, "That's true, how about noon? We haven't scheduled any programs for noon yet. Everyone's eating lunchtime, so they have time to watch TV."
"Moreover, you can broadcast the program for as long as you can produce it, and it won't interfere with the morning and evening programs."
"When will you be able to film the program?"
Ke Meiyu's eyes flickered slightly. "About a month, just in time for the official broadcast on May Day! I'll lead the recording team at the end of this month."
"Oh ho, leading a recording session?" Upon hearing this, the station director was secretly looking forward to it. "Then I'll wait for Xiao Ke's good news."
Immediately, the station director took out an internship contract and bent down to handwrite some additional clauses.
People's salaries and benefits are quite good nowadays. Although Ke Meiyu has money, a house, and a steady stream of income from Hanks, she is still very satisfied. This is the organization's recognition of her efforts.
Ke Meiyu glanced at it briefly and then signed her name.
She then inquired with the participants of the program and found out that there were no extra fees for their hard work.
"Of course there are," the station director said with a smile. "Our station is highly regarded by the organization and receives a lot of funding. As long as the program is good, we can submit an application and the bonuses and remuneration will be in place quickly. We will not treat everyone unfairly."
