Chapter 119 - Unwilling to Resign, But There's No Other Way
Chen Ran was in a very good mood these past two days, and conveniently brought a bottle of water for Lin Fan again.
Lin Fan was initially stunned for a mont, then grabbed Chen Ran and asked, "No, do you go to the private kitchen to eat every day?"
Chen Ran said in puzzlent, "Why would I go to the private kitchen to eat for no reason?"
Although the food at that place tasted good, the location was remote and the price was expensive. Moreover, no matter how good the food was, who would go eat there every day for no reason?
Not to ntion Zhang Fanzhi wasn't around, so he couldn't possibly go alone.
Lin Fan said depressedly, "If you didn't go eat, why do you bring water every day?"
Chen Ran imdiately smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood and brought you water, yet you're still not happy about it? Alright then, I'll just drink it myself."
"Don't, I was just asking, I'm not unhappy about it." Lin Fan chuckled.
Chen Ran felt sowhat baffled. Was this guy's thinking process always this erratic?
Regarding the news that Chen Ran was going to the satellite TV channel, not many people in the program crew knew about it.
But based on Lin Fan's performance during this period, everyone had so guesses.
All along, Chen Ran had always personally followed the programs, but now he was letting Lin Fan do it all. Based on their understanding of Chen Ran, he was definitely not soone who would do a perfunctory job at work.
However, before the news ca down, they didn't dare to be certain, much less go ask.
Lin Fan also understood the aning behind Chen Ran's arrangent. He didn't say it aloud, but he felt sowhat moved in his heart.
He didn't know if he could catch up to Chen Ran's footsteps, but he definitely had to work hard. At the very least, he couldn't let 'I Love Rembering Lyrics' and 'Challenge the Microphone' have any problems in his hands.
Good news also ca from Chen Yao's side.
With 'For the Rest of My Life' spreading massively on the internet, in just these two days, it actually entered the top ten of the free chart.
The number of comnts reached sixty to seventy thousand, and the number of plays and likes was even higher.
A song released low-key with almost no promotion was just given a push on Weibo by Zhang Fanzhi, and it beca a hit just like that!
For many people, the song beca popular too suddenly. In just a mont of inattention, how co this song was everywhere?
However, in the internet age, people had long since beco accustod to these kinds of sudden viral phenona.
Chen Yao even called Chen Ran, saying that Huaxia Music recomnded she change the song to a paid model, or only allow VIPs to listen, which would bring her a considerable inco.
Given the trend of this song, there definitely wouldn't be a situation where no one would pay for it.
After discussing it with Chen Ran, she refused.
If this were placed in the past when her family was still in debt, she would definitely have chosen to charge for it without hesitation.
Now that her family was a bit more well-off and the owed money was paid off, the money she earned singing as a resident singer at the bar was enough for her expenses, so there was no need to charge.
Not to ntion it was still free right now. If she changed it to paid right after seeing it get popular, who knew how badly she would be scolded by the fans.
Chen Yao didn't want to be a singer and didn't care that much about reputation and the like, but she also didn't want to be scolded by people.
…...
Another few days passed.
Lin Fan had already followed along and produced two episodes of the programs before news finally ca down from the satellite TV channel.
As soon as the news ca down, many people were taken by surprise.
Those who had been rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, wanting to compete for the program, wore massive looks of bewildernt after being called to a halt.
What's going on? Finalized? So suddenly?
No, from the ti it was officially determined to produce a late-night program until now, how long has it been?
In just this period of ti, they had all just finished preparing. How could it suddenly be announced as finalized? Was this decided internally?
They couldn't figure it out!
A late-night slot was sothing many big nas looked down upon, but to them, it was a very good opportunity.
As a result, it suddenly disappeared just like that. Whose heart would feel good about this?
So people originally wanted to go ask the Director, but before going, they thought of Wang Mingyi and planned to co over to ask indirectly.
This veteran planner was also going to participate in the competition. Now that the program had been snatched away, what were his thoughts?
Wang Mingyi's expression was indeed not very good, but he had received the news long ago. Having been stifled with frustration for several days already, he wouldn't change his expression right now.
Feeling depressed in his heart was for certain. Working hard for a few days only to draw water with a bamboo basket and end up with nothing—anyone put in that position would feel sad.
He still felt sowhat unresigned in his heart. What original creation? The one he had worked so hard to write, wasn't that an original program?
He even felt a bit bitter, wondering if not winning the award at the annual eting was also because they favored so-called original programs.
Regardless of what they thought, it couldn't change the station's decision now.
The first day was the news spoken by the director, and the second day was the official notice issued by the station.
The chief planner and the director were all completely finalized.
They knew the chief director, Wu Tao; he was a veteran in their programming departnt.
What people cared about was the chief planner, Chen Ran!
This was a sowhat familiar yet very unfamiliar na.
To say it was familiar, before the New Year, Chen Ran had just snatched the Best Planner award from Wang Mingyi's hands.
As for being unfamiliar, Chen Ran wasn't from the satellite TV channel, but from the Entertainnt Channel!
"It's actually him!"
Several planners were sowhat surprised.
Since the annual eting, Chen Ran was considered sowhat famous in the TV station. They all knew Chen Ran was producing two programs in the Entertainnt Channel, so how did he still have the ti to run over to their satellite TV channel?
But putting themselves in his shoes, they felt it made sense. No matter how many programs one had on hand, as long as there was an opportunity, they would definitely charge toward the satellite TV channel.
During the eting, Director Zhao Peisheng, knowing they had many question marks in their hearts, properly explained the matter he had told Wang Mingyi last ti once again.
Soone retorted, "Director, ours are also original programs! Ours haven't even been looked at yet, how could it be finalized to do Chen Ran's?"
Zhao Peisheng glanced at the person speaking, "He already wrote it out several days ago, and we also discussed it for several days before finalizing it. Where was your program these past few days?"
This person muttered, "Being fast doesn't an it's good."
Zhao Peisheng said, "The program landed in the Director-General's hands first, and then several of us departnt directors held a eting together to discuss it. Do you think that the few of us, having produced programs for so many years, don't even have this most basic judgnt and can't tell good from bad?"
This planner's face instantly turned ugly. He hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"I'm sorry, Director, I didn't an that. It's just that it was agreed to be fair competition, but we didn't even get the chance to submit our programs, so we are truly sowhat unresigned."
Zhao Peisheng didn't have the intention of seizing on the person and not letting go either.
They were all working under him, so naturally, he knew them inside out. He said:
"I know you are unresigned, but his proposal is indeed very good. Instead of wasting ti blindly pondering over this, you might as well properly improve yourselves and wait for the next opportunity!"
Everyone stopped talking, including Wang Mingyi, who had his head lowered.
'Love Connection' was finished. Because he wanted to produce a new program, he hadn't gone to join other program crews.
Now that the program was gone, and there was no hope even if he competed for a major production, what program was he going to follow?
Wang Mingyi was unresigned, and also extrely lost.
……
When the notice officially ca down, it basically spread throughout the entire TV station.
For those who didn't care, it was just a small late-night program, nothing worth paying attention to.
But for those who knew Chen Ran, they were extrely astonished.
Winning Best Planner was considered having a ticket to the satellite TV channel.
But now it was just the beginning of the year, and he was already going to the satellite TV channel?
This movent was truly a bit too fast!
