My Wife is a Big Star Chapter 99 : A Pity He Can't Be Kept

Chapter 99 - A Pity He Can't Be Kept

"This is..."

Chen Ran looked up, sowhat uncomprehending.

Yang Qijun said, "This is the information for the tropolitan Channel's Saturday night slot."

Chen Ran looked at Director Yang, not understanding the point of giving him this.

He was soone from the Entertainnt Channel; what was the use of giving him the tropolitan Channel's information?

Yang Qijun said, "Right after you won the Best Planner award last night, the director of the tropolitan Channel found and asked you to produce a program."

Chen Ran said in astonishnt, "Director, but we are the Entertainnt Channel here?"

Previously, the Entertainnt Channel and the tropolitan Channel had roughly equal viewership ratings and were in a competitive relationship.

How could they still want him to help produce a program?

Yang Qijun saw through Chen Ran's thoughts and said:

"Competition is just a form of mutual encouragent, a thod to give both channels a motivated atmosphere; it doesn't an the other side is truly an enemy. We all belong to the sa TV station, so it's impossible to fight until our heads are broken and bleeding.

Since he ca knocking on my door, it wasn't easy for to refuse. Of course, this is outside your scope of work, so you can consider whether to do it or not."

"The tropolitan Channel has promised that if the proposal is adopted, there will be an extra bonus for you. Furthermore, your share of the program's profit definitely won't be small, and your na will also be listed in the planner credits."

"Moreover, because your programs are broadcasted on Fridays and Sundays, they purposely moved their Saturday program to Friday. If the program you plan cos out, it will be placed on Saturday for broadcast."

Listening to this, Chen Ran sowhat understood why Director Yang didn't directly refuse; the other party's sincerity was very much in place.

"Director, there are so many people in the tropolitan Channel, why would they look for ?" Chen Ran asked.

Yang Qijun smiled and said:

"It seems you don't understand how big of an impact your resu had on the others during the annual eting last night.

Three programs, each and every one a pillar of the local channels. Zhaonan Focus is the pinnacle, and I Love Rembering Lyrics and Challenge the Microphone are both top-tier, constantly breaking station records. Who else could achieve that?"

Chen Ran said, "Didn't they ever think it might just be my luck? No one can guarantee that the viewership ratings of a produced program will definitely be good. What if it's bad?"

Yang Qijun said, "That is the problem they have to consider. There are risks in producing any program. Besides, looking for you is just to get a proposal from you. If it doesn't pass the evaluation, they will probably give it up too."

In his heart, Chen Ran was thinking: Does this an if I make it, it might just be a waste of effort?

"If you are willing to agree, it's best if you can write one out before the New Year holidays. Their channel is undergoing a revamp after the New Year, and they will need to use it by then," Yang Qijun reminded him.

"Director, let go back and think about it first." By saying this, Chen Ran ant he didn't want to do it.

The New Year was coming up right away, and he didn't want to look for trouble.

Yang Qijun thought for a mont and added, "Chen Ran, you want to go to the satellite TV channel, right?"

Chen Ran imdiately felt a bit awkward. How was he supposed to answer that? After all, he still had two of the Entertainnt Channel's programs on his hands right now.

Director Yang and Director Liu wholeheartedly hoped he would produce programs well. If his body was here, but his heart was thinking about jumping to the satellite TV channel, what would the Director think?

After thinking about it, he still nodded and said, "If there's an opportunity, I definitely want to go."

Yang Qijun smiled, "You don't need to be like this. Among us program makers, who doesn't want to go to the satellite TV channel? Although I don't want to let you go, I understand your thoughts."

He added, "Previously, I hadn't considered this far ahead. I was only thinking about submitting your na to fight for a piece of honor for our channel. I Love Rembering Lyrics and Challenge the Microphone are both our Entertainnt Channel's programs. With you winning Best Planner, our channel also gains face."

"If I had known earlier that the satellite TV channel was going to prepare two new programs imdiately after the New Year, and that you also had this idea, I might not have even helped submit your nomination application."

Chen Ran didn't know whether he should be happy. After all, being valued like this by a leader could also be considered a kind of praise.

Seeing that Chen Ran didn't speak, Yang Qijun added:

"I Love Rembering Lyrics and Challenge the Microphone aren't complex programs, and the processes aren't difficult. Now that so many episodes have been recorded, they can be considered on the right track. It's not like before; they can still operate even if you leave. If you want to go to the satellite TV channel, I have no reason to be a stumbling block."

Chen Ran nodded.

Actually, from the ti the programs were created until now, everything going forward was just a repetitive process.

Not to ntion the other writer-directors, just Lin Fan and the current planning team were enough to handle it.

Yang Qijun said, "If you really want to go to the satellite TV channel, then you can consider doing the tropolitan Channel's proposal well. Doing it well can be considered as doing the tropolitan Channel a favor. When the ti cos for you to compete for the satellite TV program, I can recomnd you together with the tropolitan Channel's director."

Chen Ran paused slightly; he was indeed sowhat tempted.

Although he had won the Best Planner award, the station would also consider the issue of his youth. When the ti ca to compete, he might not have much of an advantage.

That was the satellite TV channel, after all; it wasn't the sa as a local channel. Wanting to achieve a crushing victory with a single proposal—just like when he competed for the chief planner position of I Love Rembering Lyrics—was obviously a bit unrealistic.

At this ti, if two channel directors jointly recomnded him, the weight it carried would be entirely different.

Chen Ran only hesitated for a mont before nodding solemnly.

"Director, I will think it over carefully."

Watching Chen Ran leave, Yang Qijun shook his head slightly and sighed:

"He truly is a talent. He's neither arrogant nor rash, and he has real ability. It's a pity we can't keep him."

Compared to the satellite TV channel, the entertainnt channel was worlds apart. No matter who it was, as long as they had the opportunity, they would want to go to the satellite TV channel.

Let alone the current Chen Ran, even Yang Qijun in the past was the sa.

He didn't bla Chen Ran either.

The latter's talent in program production was unquestionable. The entertainnt channel's scale was simply too small.

I Love Rembering Lyrics and Challenge the Microphone alone were long-term programs, and the other ti slots were already saturated. They wouldn't consider producing new ones in the short term.

With both programs on the right track, keeping Chen Ran would only be a waste of his ti. If this were back when the incident with Lightness Lecture Hall occurred, he absolutely wouldn't have let him go even if Chen Ran dared to try.

But at this current ti, he chose to help him achieve his ambitions.

If Chen Ran really could make so achievents on the satellite TV channel, it would also reflect well on him.

It was just like when a village produced a student who got into a top-tier university; the villagers would also have sothing to brag about to outsiders.

During lunch, Chen Ran told Director Zhang about the matter.

Director Zhang slapped the table, making the dishes jump.

He said happily, "This is a good thing! Take on this program for the tropolitan channel, and do an exceptional job with it!"

Once Chen Ran made his decision, he didn't procrastinate. Aside from his regular work, he spent the rest of his ti studying the tropolitan channel's information.

Between eight and ten o'clock, what kind of audience was tuning in?

For a local station, what kind of program would be best to produce?

Chen Ran pondered slowly. He had many ideas in his mind; he needed to sift through them one by one to find a relatively suitable one.

After a day, he only had a vague concept in his mind.

With a few days still left until the New Year holidays, Chen Ran wasn't in a rush.

However, the next day, Chen Yao and Zhang Ruyi returned together.

She had only called Chen Ran after she and Zhang Ruyi ca back; by this ti, they were already at the Zhang family ho.
