My Wife is a Big Star Chapter 97 : Comfortable!

Chapter 97 - Comfortable!

Following the station head's announcent of the winner, the expressions of the several shortlisted chief planners turned to shock.

Jiang Weiliang and Wang Mingyi exchanged a glance, both able to see the unwillingness and discomfort in each other's eyes.

From the very beginning, the two had only considered each other as their opponent. As for Chen Ran and Qi Yongjie, they hadn't really paid them much mind.

Because of budget constraints, a single program on a local channel couldn't possibly compare to one on the satellite TV channel. The two of them had a massive advantage.

If it were in the past, this would truly be the case. But they never expected that Chen Ran had actually produced Zhaonan Focus!

Wasn't he from the entertainnt channel? How did he end up at the public channel?

Having been defeated, the two felt very complicated.

Although they thought that with the existence of Zhaonan Focus, Chen Ran had won sowhat unfairly, the program was indeed produced by him, and it was also this year's program.

What could they say?

Wang Mingyi was extrely unwilling and very unconvinced. If he had actually won the award, he could have fought for the next major production program. Now, looking at the situation, there wasn't much hope left.

Chen Ran didn't know what others were thinking.

From the mont the program Zhaonan Focus appeared on the large screen, he couldn't afford to pay attention to others' thoughts.

The intertwined emotions of anticipation and nervousness made him involuntarily clench his fingers.

When the station head read out his na, Chen Ran exhaled heavily, and his hands finally relaxed.

"Chen Ran, Chen Ran won!" Lin Fan shouted excitedly.

Although he had been comforting Chen Ran, he knew it would be a bit difficult for Chen Ran to win once he learned that Challenge the Microphone's weight wasn't enough.

But who would have thought the station would count Zhaonan Focus, this massive killer weapon.

With him acting this excited, people who didn't know better would think he was the one who won the award.

The large screen was broadcasting Chen Ran's introduction. From Great Beauty Zhaonan to Zhaonan Focus, from I Love Rembering Lyrics to Challenge the Microphone, the four program crews Chen Ran had been with were introduced one by one.

Only at this mont did many people realize that this award-winning chief planner had actually joined the TV station for less than a year.

This kind of situation had occurred before, for instance, when the TV station poached soone from another provincial station. If that person produced a good program, they could also win a station award in less than a year.

But soone like Chen Ran, who had been with four program crews and acted as chief planner for three programs in less than a year, truly had never existed before.

Wang Mingyi was very unwilling, but Jiang Weiliang felt a bit of admiration.

When they were at Chen Ran's age, they were still interning and polishing their skills.

For Chen Ran to be able to cross genres to produce programs that could also beco massive hits was indeed very rare.

At this ti, over at the public channel, Director Zhang was too excited to speak.

Beside him, Director Liu Bing of Zhaonan Focus said with a happy face, "Director Zhang, congratulations! I didn't expect Chen Ran to actually win the award!"

"He has ability and also luck; it's what he deserves to get!" Director Zhang said cheerfully.

"Now everything is perfect."

With Chen Ran winning the award, and their channel also taking Best Program, in Director Zhang's heart, things were indeed perfect.

After the large screen finished introducing Chen Ran, the host said, "Please invite Chen Ran to co on stage to receive his award."

Chen Ran took a deep breath. Lin Fan patted Chen Ran and pulled his legs back to let him pass.

Walking onto the stage, Chen Ran smiled slightly all the way, trying hard to calm his mood and make himself look less excited.

The person presenting the award to him was the station head, whom Chen Ran had only seen in photos before.

"Your planning is very good and extrely creative. The station needs young people with fantastic ideas like you. Continue to work hard in the future."

The station head shook hands with Chen Ran, spoke many words of encouragent, and then handed Chen Ran a trophy along with a certificate of honor.

"Co, please invite Chen Ran to share his acceptance speech." The host handed a microphone to Chen Ran.

Looking at so many people down below, it would be a lie to say Chen Ran wasn't nervous.

He took two deep breaths, organized his words for a bit, and then said:

"I am very grateful to the station leaders for being able to present this award to . While feeling overwheld by this unexpected favor, I am also very surprised. Compared to all the seniors here, I still have many areas where I need to learn..."

"............"

"This award does not solely belong to , but to everyone in our program crew team. Thanks to Director Liu, thanks to Director Yang, and also thanks to the colleagues I once worked with at the public channel!"

Chen Ran spoke conventional platitudes. Like other award winners, he thanked everyone he could think of, preferring to say too much rather than leave anyone out.

By the ti he stepped off the stage, his entire body instantly relaxed.

He cast his gaze toward the public channel, and Director Zhang gave him a thumbs-up.

Chen Ran instantly smiled knowingly and happily raised his trophy.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Chen Ran!"

Colleagues all around continuously sent their congratulations, and Chen Ran smiled and greeted them.

At this ti, the performance on the stage was about to begin, so Chen Ran sat down.

Lin Fan asked with a grin, "How does it feel to win the award?"

Chen Ran thought for a mont before saying, "Comfortable!"

From last night until today, he had been constantly thinking about how to console Director Zhang if he didn't win the award.

Now that he had won, all his worries were gone, leaving only the word "comfortable."

Lin Fan looked at Chen Ran's trophy, extrely envious. "One day, I will get my hands on it too!"

Chen Ran smiled and encouraged him, "Let's work hard together."

After the celebrities on stage finished singing, the award presentations continued.

Chen Ran originally thought that the subsequent awards had nothing to do with them anymore. Who knew that in the end, they would win another award for Best Team.

The reason was that their program crew, in addition to producing I Love Rembering Lyrics, also managed to create Challenge the Microphone within a single week.

When Director Wu Jin went up to receive the award, he was smiling so widely he couldn't close his mouth.

When he ca down, he bluntly stated that this was his first ti going up to receive an award, and he reckoned it would also be his last.

It wasn't that he was too pessimistic, but rather the reality was just like that. Reaching this age, one roughly knew where their upper limit was, and it was clear whether there was still any hope for their career.

If he wanted to continue winning awards, he could only go to the satellite TV channel. However, his abilities couldn't compare to those poached from the outside, and there were also many internally who were more formidable than him, so it was basically impossible.

While the others were busy being excited, the hot blood that had just been stirred up in Lin Fan was heavily doused by Director Wu Jin's single sentence.

It was mainly because he thought of his own age—when he reached Director Wu Jin's age, would he also be like this?

Thinking of such a scenario gave him a sense of panic.

It wasn't that Director Wu Jin wasn't good; in fact, being able to produce I Love Rembering Lyrics was already a very high achievent. He was mainly afraid of his own future becoming rigidly fixed.

After the award presentation finished, the station held a lucky draw.

The annual eting's prizes were very generous. As a TV station, they were quite liberal, and the winning rate wasn't low. Even Chen Ran won a mobile phone.

……

By the ti the annual eting entirely concluded, it was already evening.

Chen Ran ca out and saw the sparse-haired Director Zhang standing there, rubbing his hands together and greeting people as they passed by.

Chen Ran jogged over. "Uncle, why didn't you go to the car first?"

Seeing him approach, Director Zhang said happily:

"Waiting for you, waiting to go together! I had your Auntie make so dishes to go with drinks; let's head back and have another round!"

Although Chen Ran was afraid of drinking, he didn't refuse.

Today, Uncle Zhang was obviously even happier than last ti.

At worst, he would just throw up a bit; it wasn't a big problem.
