this man is not calm

Chapter 269 Main tone

The director's name is Liu, a semi-retired old man in his fifties, smiling and happy. As soon as Jin Shang saw this person, he felt that he was good.

After taking over the work of organizing the party, Director Liu quickly recruited a group of smart and capable assistants to contact the person in charge of various programs who were expected to perform on stage.

Jin Shang was freed from tedious social interactions and was only responsible for finding money, contacting venues, renting equipment, and managing accounts and budgets.

The workload was reduced, and Jin Shang breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to build the basic framework in more than a week is already amazing.

In private, while discussing the main points of the event, Wu Chan said to Jin Shang:

"When Director Liu was young, he was also a smart, capable person with a great temper. We relied on him for many things in the station, but when it came to rewards based on merit and promotions and salary increases, it was never his turn."

"Offended someone?"

"It's not a problem in this area, but that he is not easy to get along with. He has done a lot of dirty work and promoted many colleagues, but he has not planned for his future."

"I understand, he is a talented person who does practical things, but he is a bit lacking in skills in the workplace."

Jin Shang has seen a lot of people like this. Without a backstage cover and support from noble people, they would just have a life of hard work.

Wu Chan confirmed Jin Shang's judgment and continued to explain:

"Everyone knows that he has talent, but it's useless. He himself is arrogant and disdains the manipulation of others. By the time he reacts after repeated blows, it's already too late."

Jin Shang mentioned this when chatting with Zhu Jingxiao. In the mid-to-late 1980s, Taiwan vigorously promoted a rejuvenation strategy. A group of new people were promoted one after another. Director Liu missed his golden period. He was not too old and no one spoke for him. After working at the grassroots level for so many years, he fell behind. I got the reputation of being a master chef, but I didn't get any benefits.

Now, after entering a state of semi-retirement, people are more open-minded and have changed from their past tempers.

"It's not like he suddenly changed. It's just that when he got older, he was asked to lead a few apprentices. It was good originally, but it was too strict. Several promising young people lost control because they couldn't bear the high-pressure management. Something went wrong."

"I see."

People's transformations all have context, just like when Coach Anxi was young, he was called the "white-haired devil" by the players. After suffering setbacks, he realized his enlightenment and became a kind, fat old man.

When getting along with others, it is not enough to have good intentions and good intentions. You must also pay attention to the methods of communication. You must not insist on having your own way and implement your own will unscrupulously.

It's a pity that Director Liu has been proud and stubborn all his life, and he didn't really understand this until he retired.

"It's never too late to grow up. Live and learn. Director Liu is really a good person. I think everyone is convinced by him..."

As Jin Shangzheng was speaking, there was a sound of footsteps not far away, and powerful words came over.

"I heard you talking about me, what are you talking about?"

Looking at Director Liu approaching with a smile on his face, Jin Shang waved politely:

"I am praising Director Liu for his outstanding ability and his seriousness and responsibility."

"But pull it down. If I had real abilities, I wouldn't have wasted most of my life."

Director Liu did not dwell on these trivial matters, but asked seriously,

"Mr. Jin, the preparation of the party is actually not difficult. Once the money and people are in place, half of it is done. The rest is to combine them into a party. Because many programs are temporary settings, it is difficult to overestimate the quality. I know what your plans are, or what kind of party you want to have."

"Relaxing, joyful, having fun with the people, bringing everyone together, having fun, and bringing laughter to the audience and friends."

"This theme is easy to say, but it is actually quite difficult to truly meet the requirements."

Director Liu thought about it for a moment and then commented very pertinently,

"To be honest, the evening party in Taili... Although it has become bigger and more influential in recent years, it actually relies on a few old artists to support the event. The overall quality is getting worse year by year. The cultural evening is not Literary and artistic, the gala is not a party, and there are too many elements that have nothing to do with the gala, and there are too many commercial product placements.”

"Director Liu is not optimistic about the TV station's Spring Festival Gala?"

Wu Chan, who had been preparing hard for several months to compete as host of the Spring Festival Gala, but was defeated at the last moment, was filled with anger.

Wherever there are people, there is a world. Wu Chan, who thought that his qualifications and abilities were the best choice, unexpectedly suffered a sudden blow, which really caught him off guard. I came to help Jin Shang prepare for the party, not only to repay the favor, but also to relax.

Director Liu couldn't help but sneered:

"There are too many 'parents-in-law' above, so many pointers, everyone has to listen to what the chief director says, and sometimes even a field staff member is not effective. You don't even know where a little-known person is. A fairy on a line. It’s hard to work.”

Jin Shang asked curiously:

"Weren't you very cautious before?"

"That's different."

Director Liu waved his hand,

"At that time, the station really ran programs with the idea that the people would like it, the audience would like to see it, and everyone would be satisfied, and the people of the country would be happy and celebrate the Spring Festival. Now... there are too many things mixed in, and there are rules and regulations everywhere. I don't know. When did you cross the line?”

"It's normal to have more worries when your influence is greater. As long as everyone works together and works hard in one place, we can still do well."

"Hopefully."

Director Liu smiled and spread his hands.

"I can't control it now, just do the things you are doing right now."

"Director Liu, please take care of yourself. If you need any coordination, you can contact me directly."

"This is natural."

Director Liu nodded,

"As long as the failed programs poached from the backstage of the studio and the celebrity artists hired get used to it, it won't be a big problem. The problem is that the programs performed by several corporate employees need to be rehearsed several times. After all, they are laymen and cannot Expect to perform normally in front of the camera like professionals."

"This...I've already agreed that most of the people who will appear will be here in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Director Liu can arrange for people to explore the bottom in advance to avoid being caught off guard."

"The day after tomorrow? I can barely make it in time. I hope nothing will happen."

"It's not a big problem."

Jin Shang patted his chest and promised,

"It's not a serious party in the first place, it's more like a variety show party. It doesn't need to be so serious. A small accident happened on the spot and everyone laughed and had a good time. It can't be said to be a good thing."         "Yes, yes, I almost did. Forget it. This is an event with the background of a business annual meeting, so there is no need to be too serious."

After understanding what Jin Shang meant, Director Liu knew what to do.

Even if there is any problem, there will be a backup program, which will not delay things.
-

After being freed from mundane duties, Jin Shang finally had time to do something of his own. Some time ago, Jin Shang was really worried that his sleep quality had deteriorated. He originally planned to go with his girlfriend to celebrate his nineteenth birthday. However, something happened at the last minute, so he just found a small restaurant and had a big meal. It's over.

Faced with the complaints from her aggrieved boyfriend, Li Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong.

"I celebrated last year because I became an adult at eighteen. My nineteenth birthday doesn't happen next to each other, so there's no need to celebrate it seriously. Besides, didn't I give you a gift?"

There were indeed gifts. Li Xuan bought a ball of wool and a crochet hook, and learned to knit according to the textbook. She originally wanted to knit a sweater, but finally found it was a bit difficult, so she turned it into a scarf.

As for the imaginary gloves, leggings, cushions, etc., there is probably no more details.

"What, you're not satisfied?"

"No no."

It's the end of the year, and there are still more than ten days to celebrate the New Year. Not only are the employees under his command very excited, but the boss Jin Shang is also a little slack.

Except for those who cannot leave their jobs, many non-local employees are already preparing to go home.

These days, it is extremely difficult to buy round-trip train tickets. In order to reassure everyone, the Jin family and his son asked many people to get many tickets in advance.

Small favors cannot play a decisive role, but they can give everyone a little more confidence in the company.

Around the Spring Festival, it is the peak period for people to leave their jobs and change jobs. In order to stabilize the team, the Jin family and his son have also made great efforts.

The taste of the year increases at a speed visible to the naked eye. Different from the mysterious Spring Festival Gala arrangement of CCTV, the Spring Festival Gala hosted by Jinxi Culture is much more generous. Not only the program list, broadcast channel and time are disclosed in the mainstream media, but there is also a very lively interaction online, allowing netizens to choose Whoever is more popular will perform on stage.

Basically, Jin Shang sent invitations to all the top ones on the list, but not many accepted them, so he had to settle for the next best, and defer to the less popular ones.

The newly organized Spring Festival Gala is still too unattractive to expect real big stars to like it. Let’s not talk about whether it is worth the money. Even if it is invited with a large sum of money, it is difficult for anyone to support it.

If they hadn't had good personal relationships with the Nan brothers and Dai Yiqin, they wouldn't have had the spare time to attend an inexplicable local party.

Fortunately, Dai Yiqin's reputation is not bad. After learning that there is such a big star, the success rate of Jin Shang's invitation is obviously much higher.

The announced program list is still very shabby, but it is not that ugly.

Jin Shang is not thinking about competing with the traditional Spring Festival Gala. This is unrealistic. However, it is not easy to build his own party brand.

After the preparations were on track, several local TV stations came over after hearing the news, seeming to want to join in the fun.

Everyone is united, not because they want to do something big, but because they don't want to be suppressed by the Spring Festival Gala and have no power to fight back, so they can find a place for themselves.

If someone rushes over to build up momentum, Jin Shang will naturally not push it out.

The one that really does practical things is actually Jinxi Culture. Other so-called cooperations are either sponsorships or just waving flags and drumming up support. We cannot expect them to be of much help.

Of course, this is enough.

When the traditional Spring Festival Gala dominates the world, some people "raise flags to gather righteousness" and recruit troops to fight against it. In these days, it is considered news.

The outside world was noisy, but those who were really doing the work didn't take it seriously. Even Zhu Jingxiao, who was helping, actually didn't regard the party that Jinxi Culture was hosting as a threat.

The foundation and size are not on the same level at all, and even Taiwanese sports can't do it, so the TV station can safely let its idle employees earn some extra money.

After several rounds of rehearsals, the date for the live recording was approaching, and Jin Shang also began to prepare for his show.

After all, it's an annual party, and a boss has to come on stage to show off his talents.

The richest man in his previous life, Lao Wang, also roared a song "Fake Monk" at the company's annual meeting. Lao Ma dressed up as a woman on the stage, which can be regarded as one of the dark histories. Several other big factory bosses, many I have done similar things more or less.

It's rare to have an opportunity to play tricks on your boss, or to flatter your boss. Those who are well versed in workplace routines have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

In addition to Jin Shang taking the Little Mazar Band on stage to sing a song, Mei Yingnian and several partners of similar age were preparing to have a duet.

Those who have actually met Jin Shang have to say that by amateur standards, their singing is not bad.

"Are you really going to sing? Mr. Jin, the risk is a bit high. Can you make some arrangements?"

Director Liu was a little worried. Although it seemed normal during the rehearsal, anything could happen when the actual recording started.

"Of course I'm singing. I'd rather have a few out-of-tune basses and high-pitched gongs to show off. Otherwise, how can I show my sincerity? After all, is this a serious live broadcast party? For one term, the requirements cannot be too high.”

"It turns out that Mr. Jin is planning to continue the event next year."

"Of course I have to continue, otherwise why would I bother with this? The name of the joint production of Channel 7 has already been established, and next year I will probably recruit a group of colleagues to increase the momentum."

"alright."

Director Liu didn't bother to care about things that were too far away. The situation in front of him was troublesome enough.

"I have to say that Mr. Jin's skills are really good. He and Dai Yiqin sing each other's songs. They are really good. They are no worse than the original singers."

In order to highlight the contrasting effect, the Little Maza Band took the stage to sing the most difficult metal rock song "Shameless", with Jin Shang's voice, showing most of Dai Yiqin's charm, and more importantly, the unscrupulous wildness of youth; Dai Yiqin sang "Little Maza Band" The Chinese version of "A Fire in Winter" adapted from the album "Sexy Music". Dai Yiqin, who is good at singing and dancing, is really exciting when performing this old-fashioned disco dance music.

The blessing of fame is completely unmatched by Little Maza Band.

In comparison, the style of the traditional Spring Festival Gala is too "gentle" and the liveliness is obviously not as lively as the programs under Today's Culture.

"It's real, lively, reunited, celebrating the Spring Festival, and having a laugh is enough."

Facing the compliment, Jin Shang smiled reservedly and did not brag about anything.

Representatives from several co-organizers of the TV stations, who originally had some doubts, became more confident when they saw that the party organized by a group of "grass stage teams" turned out to be decent. The rehearsal effect was excellent, and it should not be much different when it comes to the official recording.
