My Wife is a Big Star Chapter 111 : Time to Buy a Car

Chapter 111 - Ti to Buy a Car

Zhang Fanzhi still called Chen Ran before going to the airport.

After the call connected, they were both silent for a mont. Chen Ran smiled and said,

"The company deciding to release a new song for you is a good thing. Congratulations."

Zhang Fanzhi gave an "Mhm" and said, "Thank you."

Chen Ran said, "I didn't expect you to go back this early, but you still owe two als. You can't run away from this."

Zhang Fanzhi fell silent for a mont before saying, "Okay."

"Alright, you have a flight to catch. Send a ssage after you arrive." After Chen Ran finished speaking, he waited for Zhang Fanzhi to respond before hanging up the phone.

He placed the phone on the table, the smile on his face retracting slightly, and let out a long breath.

He had thought a lot and felt he had a clear train of thought, but ultimately, he still felt sowhat uncomfortable in his heart.

Adding both of his lifetis together, this was his first ti liking soone. When Chen Ran faced his own thoughts squarely, he couldn't return to his previous attitude of treating things with indifference.

Lin Fan felt it was a bit strange. Chen Ran, who was acting amiss just a mont ago, had completely changed his deanor in such a short amount of ti.

He no longer had the appearance of being preoccupied with thoughts, as if he had returned to his usual working state.

He patted Chen Ran and said with a smile, "Made up with your girlfriend? I told you it's always good to calm down for a bit!"

Hearing him say this, Chen Ran found it a bit amusing, but feeling that laughing would be disrespectful, he could only nod solemnly to show that he wasn't being perfunctory at all.

While burying his head in work, he received a ssage that Zhang Fanzhi had arrived in Huahai.

Chen Ran thought for a mont and replied, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can co talk to ."

"Okay."

It took quite a while before Zhang Fanzhi replied to the ssage.

When getting off work, Chen Ran subconsciously looked at his phone, then smiled bitterly.

Arriving downstairs and not seeing that familiar car, he felt a bit empty in his heart.

"It's ti to buy a car." Chen Ran let out a breath.

……

The Spring Festival Carnival Edition of 'I Love Rembering Lyrics' was broadcast.

Because the New Year holiday had already passed, the viewership ratings weren't affected by the various stations' Spring Festival Galas. Not only did they not drop, but they actually rose a bit.

This left Director Liu Xianlong overjoyed at the unexpected good news. Among all the local channels, the only ones whose viewership ratings weren't greatly affected were 'Zhaonan Focus' and their channel here.

Currently, 'Challenge the Microphone' hadn't been broadcast yet, but looking at the trend of 'Rembering Lyrics', one could see a thing or two.

These two programs were considered formidable. From their premiere until now, they had been rising steadily. Even after stabilizing, the viewership ratings hadn't weakened.

Let alone them, when the viewership report ca out, people from other channels couldn't help but look at them with newly gained attention.

The tropolitan Channel, on the other hand, set its sights on the 'True Feelings' program currently in preparation.

Looking at it now, this program also had such explosive potential. They couldn't just be green with envy right now; they were preparing with intensive drumbeats, wanting to speed up the progress.

The Zhang family ho.

Chen Yao and Zhang Ruyi were talking in low voices. Both of them had faces full of anticipation, and were also sowhat uneasy.

Today was the day her new song was to be released online.

She had co over in advance, asking Zhang Ruyi to shoot a video for her to upload online to inform her fans.

After the video passed the review, the two of them kept staring at their phones, wanting to see the feedback from Chen Yao's fans.

"Sounds good."

"Yaoyao's new song? I love these lyrics!"

"A blood petition from a hundred million people begging for the full version!"

"Didn't you say it was released online, how co I can't search it up..."

As the two scrolled through the comnts, Zhang Ruyi even read them out in a low voice.

Chen Yao had said she didn't want to develop a career in the music scene and that singing was just a hobby.

But the new song was her very first work, and it was even written by her brother Chen Ran, so she definitely hoped for a good result.

Beneath the video were all positive reviews. Although most of these were from Chen Yao's fans who were just saying nice things to hear, she couldn't stop the joy in her heart.

Now they were just waiting for eight o'clock in the evening when the song would be released online.

Chen Ran was also at the Zhang family ho. At this ti, he was sitting on the other side with Director Zhang, discussing matters regarding the satellite TV channel's programs.

"This ti slot on Thursday..." Director Zhang frowned slightly, his fingers involuntarily making a pinching motion.

The news about the upcoming late-night slot had co out: Thursday night at ten o'clock.

Moreover, the funding that could be provided was very little. Aside from the expenses for program preparation, it wasn't even enough to invite a slightly famous celebrity.

Chen Ran knew the reason why Director Zhang frowned, because at ten o'clock on Thursday, what they would clash with was Tomato Satellite TV's 'Magic Cute Babies'.

The funding itself wasn't high, the ti slot wasn't good either, and running into this kind of program, it would be relatively difficult to achieve results.

However, no matter how bad it was, it was only relative. Compared to being on a local channel, it was definitely much better.

Currently, the Thursday late-night slot was a program recounting the history of antiques. The program was quite aningful, but the viewership ratings were a bit too unbearable to look at; it was completely the most miserable one.

The station wanted to remake a program, yet felt that this ti slot wasn't worth investing heavily in.

Tomato Satellite TV's 'Magic Cute Babies' was sowhat deeply rooted in the people's hearts. Wanting to do better than it, the investnt and the return would not be proportional.

In the end, they used this kind of thod: proposing the budget—just this little bit of money—and leaving the rest up to your creativity.

Chen Ran pondered slightly. Actually, things were a bit worse than he had thought.

Previously, he had thought of many backup programs, but now, due to the budget, most of them had been eliminated.

He also hadn't expected the station to focus so much on the cost-performance ratio; they were too reluctant to part with their money.

The news was proposed during a eting before the New Year. The major production was for Friday to take over the ti slot of a veteran program, but it was still in the planning stage.

The late-night slot was decided first, yet it turned out to be this kind of situation. It was truly a bit hard to handle.

"Chen Ran, you have to think it over carefully. Don't look down on the program's low budget; if you do it well, it will be an opportunity for you," Director Zhang consoled him.

No matter what, it was still the satellite TV channel. If he could be the chief planner, the opportunity was definitely greater than at the current entertainnt channel.

What he needed wasn't profit, but results and opportunities.

"I will strive hard for it." Chen Ran nodded.

Director Zhang nodded in gratification and added:

"When you write the program out, give it directly to Director Yang. Didn't you write a program for the tropolitan Channel? When the ti cos, the two directors will jointly recomnd it. If your program doesn't have too big of a problem, it's highly likely to fall into your hands."

Chen Ran nodded subconsciously, then looked at Uncle Zhang again.

He rembered that last ti when he went to the entertainnt channel, it was Uncle Zhang who had to fight for the opportunity for him, but now Uncle Zhang couldn't help anymore.

Chen Ran said, "After I write the program, I still have to ask Uncle to take a look, otherwise I can't make up my mind."

Director Zhang glanced at Chen Ran, smiled, and nodded, "Alright, if you have ideas, you can discuss them together with ."

Chen Ran smiled on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Just now, he could feel that Uncle Zhang was sowhat lancholy when he spoke.

Whether it was his father Chen Junhai or Uncle Zhang, both had had this kind of sighing emotion.

Back when he went to college, as well as when he ca to Lin City to work, his father had remained silent for a long ti without speaking.

After the uncle and nephew finished talking about the program, they talked a bit more about TV station matters.

Over on the other side, Chen Yao said sowhat happily, "Brother, my new song is online!"

Chen Ran glanced at the ti; it was already eight o'clock.
