Chapter 243 Li Xin’s Problem

In November, the temperature in the north dropped suddenly.

Yesterday, at the beginning of winter, it even started to rain with fine icy rain, which continued continuously without any sign of stopping.

The weather has turned cold, and her body has not yet adapted. Li Xing no longer insists on cycling to work.

The main reason is that many parking spaces have been added around the Color TV Center in recent years. It is not conspicuous to park your car elsewhere and work on your legs.

Turning off the ignition, handbraking, and picking up the car key were all done at one go. Hutou Ben stopped steadily near the color TV center. Li Xing got out of the car under an umbrella.

"Li Xin."

"Hey, Sister Chen." At the door of the Color TV Center, Li Xing turned around and saw her colleague Sang Chen. Li Xing quickly smiled and greeted her.

Sang Chen joined CCTV in the 1990s and was the first program host chosen by the editor and director of the "Cross-Strait" column.

When Li Xing first came to Radio 4 as an intern, the editor and director of the program assigned her the task of dubbing the host Sang Chen.

However, her voice was rougher, and the quality of her voice was too different from Sang Chen's. The editor and director of the column finally gave up on the matter and arranged for her to be Sang Chen's replacement host.

To this day, the two are both regular hosts of "Cross Strait".

However, Sang Chen learned to direct and produce programs earlier. He has his own regular program "A World at This Time", and his seniority is beyond her comparison.

The two of them got along pretty well when they looked down in the stage.

In fact, the working atmosphere of Channel 4 has always been relatively harmonious. After all, there are only a small number of people, the programs are special, and there are not many benefits worth fighting for.

"Didn't you ride a bike today?"

"It's cold and raining, so it's not convenient to ride a bike. Sister Chen, should I take the subway?"

"Come by taxi."

"It's time for you to buy a car too."

"It's better to save money and buy a house first. The big courtyard is enough to live in, but it leaks from both wind and rain."

"Then you have to hurry up. Last week I heard them say that the price of houses in the Wancheng Washington School District in the West Third Ring Road, close to the Affiliated Elementary School, Peking University and Tsinghua University, has increased again, to close to 2 square meters."

Sang Chen sighed: "Who says it's not the case, but the house prices are rising faster than my salary, so there's nothing I can do about it."

The two walked and chatted and soon entered the hall.

The two of them arrived early, and there were not many people in the hall. While observing the surroundings, Sang Chen sighed in a low voice: "If it weren't for the heavy tasks in the "Strait" column group, I would really like to go to Channel 2 with you to compete for new programs. The host position, let’s see if we can earn more income.”

Li Xing didn't dare to answer and nodded in agreement.

The salary in Taili is not high.

Due to the special nature of their work, there are strict regulations on the station. Hosts are not allowed to go out to take on private jobs, advertising endorsements and other business activities, so they have no extra income.

If you want to earn more, you can only participate in as many programs as possible and cast a wide net to catch as many fish as possible. If one program becomes popular, the bonus at the end of the year will be generous.

Therefore, when Channel 2 wants to launch a new show, many hosts and intern hosts who are neither good nor bad will come to compete either openly or covertly.

Especially those hosts who have registered residence in other places, need to rent an apartment in the capital, and have higher living costs.

Li Xing also participated.

It is somewhat hypocritical to say that she is not interested in money.

In her heart, she still hopes to earn more income based on her personal ability, use the money she earns to support her parents in her hometown and send her younger brother to school, and she will look good when she speaks out.

It would be wrong to say that she only competes for money.

She holds one of Jiang Liu's personal bank cards.

This card has only one purpose, so that film investors can transfer film remuneration into it.

When Jiang Liu directed "Monster", the director's salary was as high as 300 million. After the film was completed, the balance of the salary was paid into this card one after another.

Before Li Xing could go to the bank to check the numbers, Jiang Liu's first paycheck for "Orangutan" came in.

With a salary of 800 million yuan + 2% of the mainland box office share, the first director's salary for "Orangutan" was nearly 300 million yuan. She is really not short of money.

The biggest reason that prompted her to compete for the new host of Channel 2 was that although Jiang Liu didn't say it explicitly, he sincerely did not want her to stay on Channel 4.

Entering the Si Tai conference room, Li Xin didn't wait to put down his personal bag, and first looked through the renovation work schedule for the week.

Recorded three episodes of "Strait".

Recorded an episode of "Together at the End of the World".

Her career as a director has just begun, and her current main job is to host the station's regular programs.

After recording the two programs, the rest of the time was spent visiting Taiwanese entrepreneurs in the capital. This was the content of the program she prepared for herself. It may not be mature, but she also put in a lot of effort.

"It's almost time to go to work. I'm going to the dressing room."

"Well, go ahead and get busy. I'll go take a look at last week's material later." Li Xin put down her bag and took a glass of water.

Not long after, the two of them left the conference room one after another.

However, Li Xing ran into someone who was unlikely to appear on Radio 4.

"Are you Li Xin?"

"Yes, Sister Fang." Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded politely.

She didn't know the person well, but he was very famous in the station, and she knew his face.

This person's name is Wang Lifang, a famous producer and host of Channel 2.

In the early years, Channel 2 was called the Economic, Life and Service Channel. It was renamed the Economic Channel last year.

No matter how the channel name is changed, it will always be an old channel that has been running for more than 20 years. Who dares to underestimate the veteran hosts, program producers, and ordinary staff of the old channel?

Sketch actor Chen Peisi once commented on CCTV, which roughly means that as an actor walking into this building, you have to be careful and cautious, and it is best not to offend even a small assistant.

Because you don't know who is standing behind this little assistant.

Exactly whose person it was, accidentally, it seemed that the person he offended was a small assistant, maybe a deputy station, or even the station director.

What's more, standing in front of Li Xin was Wang Lifang without a smile on her face.

"You have recording work in the morning. Come to the office with me?"

Wang Lifang seemed to be discussing with Li Xin, but her expression showed no intention of discussing at all, and she almost asked Li Xin to follow her now.

Li Xing felt a little hesitant. If she had known in advance that if she competed for a position, she would be called away from Radio 4, she would not have competed.

The editors and directors of the "Straits" column team are very good, and they have never explicitly objected to not allowing them to compete for positions on other stations.

But being mentioned so nakedly and slipped away to the second channel, if the director knew about it, he would still mutter in his heart that Li Xin was impersonal.

If you go there, you will be muttered by your current leaders and colleagues, and you may be despised in the future.

Not to mention a bright future by then, it will be difficult to stay in the original position for a few more years.

If he hadn't followed Wang Lifang, the competition for the new program would have been completely ruined, and he would have offended the veteran host of Channel 2 for no reason.

They condescended to call her, not through a phone call from the assistant or a text message.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xun no longer hesitated and said decisively: "I'm sorry, Sister Fang, I have a lot of work on hand for half a day in the morning. Is it okay to go to your office at noon to listen to your teachings?"

She only had one thought at this time, that what was in the bowl belonged to her.

The new position looks fragrant, but far away, it is like a mirror in the mirror.

There are so many talents in Taiwan 2 that it is not easy to grab a position. Wang Lifang is probably the biggest competitor in front of them.

Wang Lifang took a deep look at Li Xin: "At noon? That's okay too!"
