Chapter 902 A visit
As Chen Changan expected, something went wrong in the Spring Festival Gala program on the night of New Year's Eve.
In order to get rid of the influence of the automobile factory, the venue for this Spring Festival Gala was chosen to be a larger open-air stadium.
The venue was large enough, but the supporting equipment could not keep up, which resulted in very poor lighting effects on site.
The entire Spring Festival Gala was held almost in darkness, making it impossible for the audience to see clearly what was being performed on the stage.
Apart from that the sound effects were very poor, as the venue was larger and more spacious, it was hard to hear clearly in person, let alone in front of the TV.
This immediately angered a lot of people.
In order to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala, many families used their savings to buy new televisions, just to be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala that many people have said was so magical.
That's the result? They can't see or hear clearly, how can they not make the audience angry?
Not only did the Spring Festival Gala's live phone lines get bombarded with calls, but the TV station and the Broadcasting Bureau's communication rooms were flooded with letters of denunciation.
The newly appointed director was severely scolded by his superiors.
After the next day's news broadcast, all the leaders of the TV station bowed and apologized to the people of the country, and promised that such a mistake would not be made again in next year's Spring Festival Gala.
Chen Changan looked at the new director apologizing on TV and said to Zhu Ling with a smile.
"How is it? I told you before that he was too anxious. Now he knows that he can't just play around during the Spring Festival Gala, right?"
Zhu Ling was also laughing. Although she was the supervisory department of the TV station, Zhu Ling was mainly responsible for the review of movies and TV series.
This matter has little to do with her. Now that the Spring Festival Gala has become like this, she feels relieved.
As a result, she couldn't laugh the next day. The new Director Wang didn't have the face to look for Chen Changan, but he had the face to look for her, Zhu Ling.
"Director Zhu, the Spring Festival Gala program was not well done this time, and the responsibility is all mine.
My leader also scolded me and told me to find a way to solve the problem myself.
I admit that I had no experience and did not expect that holding a show in a stadium would have such an effect.
Now I urgently need a new program to save the image of CCTV in the hearts of the people across the country.
Could you give me some suggestions on what new programs our TV station can produce?"
Zhu Ling didn't want to take care of this matter at all. After all, Zhu Ling was just a deputy director.
"Director Wang, I'm just the deputy director, please explain clearly.
Also, you should go to the director about this matter, not me.
I am only responsible for the review of TV dramas and movies. As for creating a program comparable to the Spring Festival Gala, to be honest, I really don’t have the ability to do so.”
Director Wang looked at Zhu Ling with an indifferent expression, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke.
“I know it was my mistake not to invite Director Chen to the Spring Festival Gala this time.
Now I have realized my mistake and I hope Director Zhu can help me.
I really don't have the face to go to Director Chen, please help me for the sake of the director."
This made Zhu Ling even more unhappy.
When he first took office, he was as arrogant as he could be.
As the founder of the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Changan not only provided the automobile factory workers' club to the Spring Festival Gala program team for free.
Many of the equipment were originally purchased by the automobile factory, but Director Wang turned against him as soon as he took office.
Even if you look down on Chen Changan, you can invite Chen Changan to be a consultant, so that everyone can save face.
As a result, he was so self-righteous that he messed up the Spring Festival Gala. Now he doesn't dare to ask Chen Changan to come forward, but comes to me instead?
Do you really think you can still speak?
“Director Wang, I can’t do anything about this matter. If you think Director Chen can help you find a solution,
Then you should go to see Director Chen yourself, that will show your sincerity, right?"
Director Wang left with a bitter face. He had no choice but to face Zhu Ling. After all, even if Zhu Ling was not his superior, she was still his leader.
Besides, he was at fault in this matter, so it is only natural that others are unwilling to help him.
I don't know who Director Wang found to help him, but Chen Changan received a call from Uncle Nie in his office. It was about the same thing.
"I'm calling you because we're old friends.
But I still have to say that even if we want to help, we should only help him after he comes to our house to apologize.
It’s not fair for them to do this. Now that they are in trouble, they only think of us. What were they doing before? "
Chen Changan said with a smile.
"I thought you were calling to lobby for them."
Uncle Nie sighed and said.
“Those old friends are becoming fewer and fewer.
If you say you won't help, it may be the last time they ask me for help in their lives.
We must help, but we have to figure out how to help.”
"Okay, with what you said, I know what to do."
That night, Director Wang came to Chen Changan's house with some fruits.
"Director Chen, Director Zhu, I'm here to apologize to you."
Director Wang had a bitter face. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he had to come given the current situation.
Facing the enthusiastic Chen Changan and Zhu Ling, Director Wang thought of something in his mind.
"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place?"
Although Chen Changan still disliked Director Wang in his heart, since he was here, he was a guest.
Considering what Uncle Nie said and Zhu Ling's future development in the unit, Chen Changan finally accepted Director Wang's apology.
"Director Chen, I'm really sorry. I have never been in contact with a TV station before.
I didn't have a thorough enough understanding of some professional issues, and this time I made the mistake of empiricism.
I also hope you won’t blame me, and help me think of a way to save the TV station’s reputation.”
Considering the future development of Liaoyuan Entertainment and Zhu Ling within the system, Chen Changan had no intention of controlling Director Wang.
“In fact, the reason why the Spring Festival Gala program did not receive recognition from the people across the country was mainly due to equipment issues.
As for choosing a stadium as the venue, the idea itself is good.
It's easy to repair the TV station's reputation. Just hold a party."
"Holding a party? But if you wait until next time, that will be a year later."
“The Spring Festival Gala is over, but isn’t there still the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month?
If Director Wang can update the equipment in time, it is not impossible to hold the event in the stadium again.
If you don’t have time to update your equipment, continue to choose a smaller indoor venue.
Let’s recreate the Lantern Festival Gala in the same format as the Spring Festival Gala.
As long as this show can satisfy the national audience, isn't that enough?"
Director Wang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Chen Changan actually had a solution.
"Director Chen, I solemnly invite you to become a consultant for CCTV's Lantern Festival Gala. What do you think?"
