Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Otai saw that the situation was largely settled. ♢🐚 ➅❾ร𝒽Ｕ𝓍.Ć𝕠๓ 😳♖

His brow gradually relaxed. Now that he had made his choice, there was no going back. Besides, Li Haoyu's party planning proposal was indeed outstanding, worth the risk.

After all, he's no longer young; he's over forty.

According to the unspoken rule at the TV station that no one is promoted after age 50, if he can't get promoted in the next two years, he won't have much of a chance for advancement and will at most only be able to hold a nominal position.

Rather than continuing down this half-dead path, it's better to go all in and take a gamble; the outcome won't be too bad anyway.

Of course, despite Li Haoyu's achievements, news reports and gala planning are ultimately two different things. Outai didn't dare to have high expectations, nor did it pursue high economic returns.

If he can achieve even a part of Li Haoyu's plan, or even just some real results that attract new sponsors, he will have reason to try further.

Even if the investment attraction results are only passable, he can still give an account to both internal and external stakeholders. Then he can proceed with further experiments; it would be great if he could achieve some success.

Well, let's not get our hopes up too high. As long as we don't lose money, that's fine. Since Outai has already decided to take the risk, it means he can bear the corresponding consequences.

However, he couldn't help Li Haoyu unconditionally. He and Li Haoyu made an agreement: Li Haoyu would take on the planning of the gala as a personal studio.

After all, if Li Haoyu only had a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood, not only would Ou Tai himself be unmotivated, but Ou Tai himself would also be hesitant to entrust him with this important task.

Ou Tai still remembers the scene of Li Haoyu talking to him that night.

Li Haoyu said to Ou Tai, "I can certainly accept this task as the station director, but if I were to complete it as an employee, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to give it my all."

"How about I set up a studio? If I fail to achieve the expected goals, I won't take a penny. Of course, if I do achieve good results, I will receive a corresponding reward."

Next, Li Haoyu elaborated on the fact that market-oriented operation requires the studio to undertake revenue tasks, and the studio needs to be assessed on performance, task volume, and dissemination effectiveness.

And corresponding rewards for outstanding employees and teams.

It was actually during this private conversation with Li Haoyu that Ou Tai was truly convinced. He saw in Li Haoyu a level of skill and ambition far beyond his years.

Therefore, Ou Tai finally agreed to Li Haoyu's request.

If Li Haoyu is just all talk, even if he is quite capable, Ou Tai will only label him as "too naive for a young man".

However, Li Haoyu presented a contract with a gambling element, which also put him under considerable risk, and he might even end up with huge personal debts as a result.

It was this ruthlessness that earned him Ou Tai's trust.

Li Haoyu himself didn't intend to earn a fixed salary. He didn't want to work hard for nothing, only to end up with some empty fame, or even nothing at all, with everything being taken away by someone else.

After all, this is not unusual in the television industry.

Li Haoyu also needs to use this opportunity to prove his strength. Once you prove your value, capital will naturally come to you, and you won't need to worry about the rest.

However, Ou Tai also raised a question at the time: "Xiao Li, I believe in your talent and ability, but setting up a one-person studio is not that simple. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

After Ou Tai finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Haoyu would misunderstand his meaning.

He then explained, "You know, a formally established studio, in addition to the standard setup of directors and screenwriters, also needs a host and cast team, a cinematographer team, an editing team, a special effects team, and so on..."

"I know you've worked with Lin Miaomiao and Su Qiang a few times, but even with those two, the manpower gap is still too big. Where are you going to find suitable candidates in such a short time?"

Li Haoyu knew that what Ou Tai said was true.

Planning a gala is far more complicated than you might imagine.

According to Li Haoyu's plan, it requires the joint efforts of many parties, including performance venues, directing teams, lighting and stage design, 4K ultra-high-definition broadcasting vehicles, post-production, and brand promotion... It requires a large and mature team to support it.

Li Haoyu actually has experience with large-scale galas. He was also in a "retired phase" in the last century and served as the chief planner of Snail Games' annual meeting out of curiosity.

"Boss, we're running out of time and it might have to be postponed."

"There's a problem with the performance costumes; they might need to be altered."

"The supplier wants to meet with you; you need to sign that document."

"Oh my god, this is impossible!"

However, the experience wasn't great; he had to make all sorts of decisions, no matter how complicated. Li Haoyu prided himself on having a good temper, but he cursed and swore more than once while organizing the party.

At its most outrageous point, Li Haoyu almost flipped the table. Keep in mind, even the power struggles between Li Haoyu and those investors weren't this extreme.

Li Haoyu had also come up with a solution to this problem.

He plans to find someone to help him.

That was Lin Miaomiao's former boss, the smiling tiger "Tian Tian".

Actually, Li Haoyu was quite interested in Tian Tian. This kind of girl smiles on the surface, but is actually very decisive; otherwise, she wouldn't have the nickname "Smiling Tiger."

When Li Haoyu watched the TV series, besides Lin Miaomiao, she left the deepest impression on him.

Tian Tian always had a smile on her face, but she was a woman of her word, leaving no room for argument. She didn't throw a tantrum, but just her presence alone exuded a sense of pressure. ♞👣 ➅➈ş𝔥𝕌x.ⒸỖ爪♔🐺

Women's emotions are generally unpredictable, and even in the workplace, it's common for strong women to get angry.

But she controlled herself very well. A woman who can control her emotions so well is more terrifying than an easily angered lion.

Her abilities are beyond question.

Regardless of her values, Tian Tian, ​​as a seasoned media professional, possesses unique and accurate insight. Otherwise, the massive Wanxiang Company wouldn't be thriving.

For example, when Lin Miaomiao's charity project, "Little Rabbit Travels China," which aims to help Xie Yujia fulfill her wish, came to Tian Tian, ​​Tian Tian immediately felt that this was a very positive and potentially explosive project.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately asked Lin Miaomiao to contact several travel agencies. But after receiving Lin Miaomiao's objection, Tian Tian only hesitated for a moment.

She then smiled and stated that Wanxiang could also do charity work. It would have been even better if she hadn't added that even without a scandal, this event would have brought the company more traffic.

Traffic means popularity, and popularity attracts more merchants to actively seek cooperation, thus increasing the company's profits.

Tian Tian recognized this, which is why she decided to let Lin Miaomiao use the company's official account to promote Little Rabbit's Tour of China for free.

On the other hand, Li Haoyu felt that domestic violence was not so simple. How could a successful and decisive businesswoman who built a thriving company possibly endure being beaten by her husband for long?

Perhaps, all along, she had been looking for a suitable opportunity to completely break free from Cao Shuangyin's control, but she had never found an effective and direct way.

Or, it could be a bargaining chip to directly counter it.

But regardless of her family situation.

If Li Haoyu had a partner like Tian Tian, ​​he could save himself a lot of trouble. More importantly, Wanxiang Company also needs Jiangzhou TV Station as a major client.

Therefore, Tian Tian also needs Li Haoyu.

This is a win-win situation.

So when Outai asked Li Haoyu how to solve the manpower shortage, Li Haoyu confidently replied that he had already found a very reliable partner.

Seeing how thoughtful Li Haoyu was, Ou Tai didn't say anything more. Since he had chosen to believe in Li Haoyu, he would unconditionally support him until Li Haoyu completely failed.

"Then I'll wait for your good news," said Ou Tai.

And so their secret meeting came to an end.

Li Haoyu's backup plan was also no longer needed.

In fact, he had considered that if Outai couldn't accept his conditions, he would communicate with other TV stations, and Hunan TV would be a good option.

After all, although Shonan TV is all about entertainment, it is still quite good at delegating authority and innovating.

The program "Women at Forty" was reportedly suggested by a female intern at Hunan TV.

In the end, it did indeed become very popular.

This alone demonstrates Hunan TV's cultivation and recognition of its young directors. After all, variety entertainment programs are all about keeping up with the times; only by keeping pace with the times can better programs be produced.

However, now that Otai trusts him so much...

He was too lazy to cause any more trouble by submitting his work to other TV stations. After all, it's better to stick with what you know, and besides, his relationship with Lin Miaomiao wasn't settled yet, so he couldn't very well take her away from home.

However, since I've taken on this task...

His days ahead became quite busy. He needed to get the party arranged as soon as possible, and he couldn't neglect his efforts to win over Lin Miaomiao, since their affection level had already reached 70.

They were only one step away from becoming a real couple. Li Haoyu thought that if he could confirm his relationship with Lin Miaomiao before starting work, he could work with peace of mind.

……

On the other hand, Lin Miaomiao's mood gradually calmed down.

The initial shock of Li Haoyu's confession gradually subsided. It wasn't because she had already made a decision, but rather because she tended to put aside or not think about difficult choices.

As for how she will handle Li Haoyu's confession, she hasn't figured it out yet.

Don't let Lin Miaomiao's cute appearance fool you. In real life, she's quite rebellious, often boisterous, and doesn't know how to handle things properly.

But she's the kind of girl who doesn't like to consult with others.

Lin Miaomiao is extremely independent.

Actually, this was the first time she had ever accepted a boy's confession.

Because besides Lin Miaomiao's carefree personality, she also has a tendency to interrupt. Once or twice is fine, but after a while, very few people show her any goodwill anymore.

In Li Haoyu's opinion, although Lin Miaomiao was a bit startled and loud, she had a kind of innate simplicity and straightforwardness that many other girls who also liked to speak loudly did not have.

Many girls who speak loudly do so to attract attention and try to get others to accept their supposedly mature opinions. Unlike Lin Miaomiao, who speaks her mind freely and without reservation.

It takes a long time to get to know Lin Miaomiao to appreciate her fatal charm.

"Lin Miaomiao!"

Lin Miaomiao was preparing a manuscript.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I bumped into Li Haoyu, who had just started work.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but complain, "I already put breakfast on the table for you, why are you still looking for me?"

Li Haoyu said with a wry smile, "I've finished eating. Why did you buy so much? I'm so full."

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

This Li Haoyu is truly shameless; he can even play the victim in front of her while eating breakfast.

Lin Miaomiao didn't expect Li Haoyu to still be talking, and said again, "I'm wondering, with your appetite, do you think I'm a gorilla in a zoo?"

"After checking again, I was relieved to find that you hadn't bought me bananas. Otherwise, I was worried that you might have misunderstood me, so I came over to confirm."

Li Haoyu had just uttered these nonsensical words.

Lin Miaomiao's previously carefully maintained composure was instantly shattered.

She clutched her stomach and burst into unladylike laughter, even managing to punch Li Haoyu twice. Seeing Lin Miaomiao's reaction, Li Haoyu knew the atmosphere was about right.

It's worth noting that many guys who confess their feelings end up growing distant from each other because they don't handle the relationship well.

Lin Miaomiao didn't mention Li Haoyu's confession last night. "You came to me just to confirm if you're a gorilla?"

Li Haoyu immediately said, "I can handle this myself. You're the only girl around me right now. You have to help me with this."

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Aren't you an all-rounder? Is there anything else you need my help with?"

[This book-reading app was recommended to me by a book-loving friend of ten years! It's incredibly useful; I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here.]

This time, Li Haoyu didn't keep us in suspense. "I really need your help with this. It's a very urgent matter. We have to leave this afternoon."

Lin Miaomiao asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Haoyu said, "You'll understand when you get there. I'll pay you first and then treat you to a nice lunch."

Lin Miaomiao bit her lip slightly, her eyes filled with hesitation.

Li Haoyu clasped his hands together and made a request to Lin Miaomiao.

"This is a serious matter, and it concerns the future of Jiangzhou TV. If you refuse me, I might not even be able to afford a hostel and will have to sleep on the streets."

"If I'm really that miserable, you can take responsibility for my next life and support me for the rest of my life."

Lin Miaomiao blushed instantly and spat, "You're never serious, what nonsense are you talking about! Fine, I promise you."

Having succeeded in his evil scheme, Li Haoyu said nothing more.

After saying that, he walked towards his workstation.

Before Lin Miaomiao could explain what was going on, she saw Li Haoyu about to leave. Incredibly curious, Lin Miaomiao couldn't resist chasing after him and pressing him to tell her what had happened.

Li Haoyu couldn't persuade Lin Miaomiao otherwise, so he had to say it.

"Come with me to see a tigress."

"Then just subdue her."
