Neurotic, itâs all fucking Gan Wenchangâs fault.
âTeacher Xu, whatâs wrong with you?â Wu Xueying looked slightly startled, with a puzzled expression on her face.
At the Spring Festival Gala sub-venue mobilization meeting this morning, Xu Qingyan had made a profound impression on her. It was rare to see such young creatives in the industry, who were either reserve cadres from the central station or future promising directors.
They either pursued further studies within the system or, having amassed enough connections and resources, started their own businesses.
Such cases were not uncommon, including the current cultural leaders of the Beijing circle, Zhang and Feng. In earlier years, they had followed their seniors, working tirelessly within TV stations, and took the opportunity to strike out on their own when it arose.
Including now, the directors and producers of the wildly popular variety shows on major satellite TVs were mostly those who had left the system.
Even though Xu Qingyan wasnât well-known at present, his exaggerated resume was enough to put most people in the industry to shame.
For a top star like Wu Xueying, forming a good connection with someone like Xu Qingyan at the Spring Festival Gala sub-venue was a very worthwhile deal.
Itâs just that Wu Xueying felt that this man seemed unexpectedly shy, not daring to meet her eyes even when speaking. Was he not good at dealing with the opposite sex?
That wasnât impossible; many geniuses were somewhat reclusive. But that didnât matter. Compared to their shining points, such flaws were negligible.
âAh, itâs nothing. Itâs rare to meet a big star.â Xu Qingyan cleared his throat and explained, âI got a bit excited, sorry.â
In truth, it was all that boring gossipmonger Gan Wenchangâs fault. Now, he could no longer look Wu Xueying in the eye. Every time he saw her, all sorts of bizarre images would pop into his head.
Their first meeting was a bit awkward. Normally, the conversation should have ended there; Xu Qingyan had no aspirations of ingratiating himself with the high and mighty.
Mainly because Wu Xueying was a top star; there was no chance of her collaborating with a start-up company like Xu Qingyanâs, and even if she did agree, her agency behind her would not approve.
Companies foster artists not for charity but for massive profits down the line. Once an artist under them becomes hot, they wouldnât let them take on non-profitable roles, let alone allow time for improving their acting skills; that would be considered very generous.
Xu Qingyan was a realist; he refrained from taking pointless actions. Since he had no immediate use for it, maintaining a basic level of goodwill would suffice.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xueying took the initiative to shake his hand and smiled, saying.@@novelbin@@
âI hope we have the opportunity to collaborate, Teacher Xu.â
The entertainment industry loves to call people âTeacher.â It gives the impression that the industry is quite cultured to those who donât know better.
Hearing Wu Xueying talk about collaboration, Xu Qingyan paused for a moment, thinking to himself how she knew that he had a film and television company and was planning to assemble a team? After two seconds, he realized she was just being polite.
âThank you, Iâm looking forward to it as well.â Xu Qingyan made no effort to hide his desire to get away, planning to pull out after gathering resources at the Spring Festival Gala.
As for future collaboration, he could only chuckle inwardly; he couldnât afford a top star even if he sold himself.
Six days ago.
At that time, Xu Qingyan had insipidly weathered the New Yearâs crisis, if it could even be called a crisis.
He didnât bother to watch the New Yearâs Eve galas on Beijing TV and Xiangnan TV, unaware that both stations had long been competing over New Yearâs Eve ratings.
This time, Xiangnan TVâs well-received program could be counted on one hand, and Pei Muchanâs performance of âBlue and White Porcelainâ became the biggest surprise, with an online survey revealing that over seventy-six percent of viewers were satisfied.
This was actually a horrifying number. For a good song, a satisfaction rate typically hovered around fifty percent. With a large number of respondents, multiple statistics would gradually converge towards fifty percent.
Normally a guaranteed winner with superior ratings every year, Xiangnan TV committed a major blunder on New Yearâs Eve.
Because netizens discovered that watching other channelsâ New Yearâs Eve broadcasts was normal, but when they switched to Xiangnan TV, they found that watching the gala live required a subscription.
This directly infuriated netizens, who took to posting complaint videos.
Usually, lip-syncing at the New Yearâs Gala was tolerable, but now youâre charging a subscription fee for a live broadcast?
âItâs hilarious; Iâm the fool who paid for a subscription just to watch a broadcast that shouldâve been free. Mei Ren simply didnât have her microphone on at all.â
âThis yearâs New Yearâs ads were incredibly numerous, and it felt like none of the events were thought out very well. Itâs funny, Xiangnan TVâs leaders also know how to waste money.â
âThey invited so many stars, and hardly any sang live. At least Beijing TV had Lin Chuan, ensuring the quality of the program.â
âLet me just say, Lin Wanzhouâs song wasnât bad either. I remember itâs called âThe Wind Rises,â yes, thatâs the name of the song.â
âFinally, someone mentioned it, âThe Wind Risesâ is truly incredible!â
After New Yearâs Eve, based on statistics.
Xiangnan TV still managed to clinch first place by demanding subscriptions to watch the live broadcast, despite inadvertently blocking some viewers, proving how formidable an idol-focused station was.
Unsatisfied with this, Beijing TV started a full-channel promotion of their New Yearâs Eve gala videos. Among these promoted videos were âThe Wind Risesâ and âBig Fish,â with the best feedback data.
Meanwhile, Xiangnan TV also began promoting videos of their New Yearâs Eve gala, with a sense of tit-for-tat. As promotions continued, among several songs, one climbed to the top.
