Boyfriend For Hire - Chapter 80

If Yang Xiao used one word to describe the first day of the new job, it would be-“busy”.

The kind of busy that is utterly exhausted, the kind of busy that has exploded information.

“Okay, here are all the materials.” Yu Linglong, another editor of the show, dragged the last file to Yang Xiao’s office computer, and as many as a dozen video files occupied her computer’s hard drive. The last touch of space. Before that, he had already passed nearly a hundred g’s reference materials to Yang Xiao.

“Thank you Brother Yu.” Yang laughed and thanked, “I will finish reading these things as soon as possible.”

“Needless to say thank you… we will be comrades-in-arms on the same battlefield from now on.” Yu Linglong smiled, but that smile was really a little light.

From the outside, he is a typical literary young man. His hair was long, a small ball was loosely tied behind his head, and he was wearing a big, loose cotton shirt. He couldn’t tell how old he was. Yang Xiao guessed that he should be in his early thirties. Two heavy dark circles hung under his eyes, and the coffee cup on hand always had a bitter taste.

“It’s really a battlefield.” Yang Xiao looked at the densely packed data packs in the computer, and said with a wry smile, “It’s too difficult for me to dig trenches with my bare hands.”

Yu Linglong said: “It’s fine when you get used to it. Teacher Zhou is that character, and can’t tolerate a small flaw in the workplace. If you can’t think of a point of sale, you must scold, if you can’t think of slogan, you must scold, and if you can’t think of choosing a topic, Scolding… I have been under her hands for eight years. She has been scolding me since the first day I joined the job, and still scolding me now.”

“…”

Yu Linglong seemed to have confessed his fate a long time ago, his face was lifeless, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face when he said these words.

He quickly skimmed the topic and said, “By the way, the person wearing yellow clothes over there is copywriter, and the person in red clothes next to it is the coordinator. If you need any information to manage them, it’s fine. If you need to contact business, go to the side. Office.” He raised his hand and looked at his watch. “Now there are less than 60 hours before get off work on Friday. You have to speed up.”

Looking at the blank ppt, Yang Xiao felt the emotion of fleeing for the first time.

She just learned about the twists and turns of their project from Yu Linglong’s mouth—before the show was about to launch, the entire core team was poached away, and producer Zhou Hui could only use the remaining shrimp soldiers and crabs to redo the show.

Yes, shrimp, soldiers, crabs, generals.

Yes, repeat, do, once again.

It’s easy to build a building, and it’s easy to blow up a building. But if you want to rebuild the building on the ruins, and the new building is bigger, more beautiful, and more magnificent than the original…that would be difficult.

But no matter how difficult the job is, she must also do it.

Yang Xiao first spent an afternoon going over the existing information to understand the intention of the “King of Rebounds” and the ultimate goal to be achieved.

The project document was drafted by the producer Zhou Hui himself. The first page reads-gather folk basketball talents to create the first basketball competition variety show.

The basketball circle is not a niche, like football, it has always attracted an audience of countless fans. But the strange thing is that there is a very distinct barrier between inside and outside this circle. There have always been people who want to try to break this barrier, such as inviting entertainment stars and basketball stars to form teammates (such as the NBA All-Star Game), or holding offline events in multiple cities (such as the KFC basketball game), but only a small circle s concern.

Zhou Hui wants to create a new variety show. She wants to rely on the power of the TV media to make an ordinary person a star.

Therefore, this variety show is just a named “draft”, and in essence, it is a “reality show.”

The athletes in front of the camera are almost amateurs. She wants to expose their ambitions, their pursuits, their dreams, their ugliness and greatness to the audience.

Under the chase of the camera, who can get the attention of all the people?

In Zhou Hui’s plan, 27 players will be selected in the first season, most of which come from colleges and universities, and a small part from the street field.

After several rounds of competition, several rounds of split, several rounds of mutual choice, and finally three remaining, the first is the “rebounding king”, the remaining two are “rebounding stars”.

Yang Xiao’s fingertip pen turned around, she lowered her head to write and draw on the paper.

When she is thinking, she likes to make mind maps.

She wrote a line on the top of the white paper first.

Starting: 27 amateur athletes.

Then write another line at the bottom of the white paper.

In the end: choose three winners.

In the big blank in the middle, you need to fill in the competition system, rules, how to create topics, when to create conflicts, the rhythm of the platform, and the points that need to be dig deep.

To be honest, since Yang Xiao has been working as a choreographer, she feels boring to watch any variety shows. Because she is already familiar with the twists and turns inside, most of the conflicting points in the eyes of fans are mostly planned by Taiben in advance.

For a certain talent show, at the time of the program’s audition, who will announce who will retire; for a certain emotional show, when the contract is signed, the female guest will be divorced; A quiz show, because the ratings are so bad, the show team took a different approach and asked two contestants with no emotional foundation to stage love at first sight and propose directly in front of the camera…

They always laugh at themselves in their circles. They shouldn’t be called directors, they should be called screenwriters.

Yang Xiao buried his head and wrote a series of keywords on the white paper.

There must be brotherhood of love and killing; must have wild players with arrogant personality; must have academic players with cute appearance and personality; injured, retired, tears, sad school stories must have;

When she finished writing, looking at the white paper full of keywords, she was silent for a few minutes, then suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball in annoyance and threw it directly into the trash can.

No, no, no.

She can produce such garbage, and others can also produce it.

She came to Satellite TV because she wanted to make a boutique program, not just to speculate on traffic!

And… she was also selfish, and wanted Meng Yufan to sign up for this show to win his fame. If she can only come up with such third-rate creativity, how can she be worthy of him!

Yang Xiao got up and went to the pantry to pour a cup of coffee, then went back to the table and sat down.

She picked up a piece of paper again, re-written the beginning and the end, and then facing the blank page, she started racking her brains to be creative…

The king of rebounds…the king of rebounds…how can these four words be reflected in the show?

When she was meditating in front of the case, in the pantry, several colleagues of the project team gathered together and were talking gossip in a low voice.

“I think this new choreographer is nothing remarkable.” The executive planner blew on the nails he had just made, in a frivolous tone.

The copywriter took the conversation: “Just now she asked me for information and said, “Send me the copies of the copies that were shot before, too.” For some reason, how could I still keep things that have been rejected? It made me go to the recycle bin to search. For a long time.”

“Okay,” Yu Linglong pushed the glasses on the bridge of the nose among the crowd, and said lightly, “Since she was appointed by the producer, let’s see how good she is.”

…

“Yufan, come here!”

In the basketball training hall of Hwaseong University, Coach Wu called Meng Yufan to stop and asked him to find him in the office.

Meng Yufan took off the oxygen-blocking mask on his head, sweat dripped into his collar like a stream, and the water could be squeezed out with a casual grip on his clothes.

It took a lot of effort to calm his breath, and walked to Coach Wu’s office out of breath.

The office was still like the last time he came in. It was messed up everywhere. There were dirty jerseys that I didn’t know who were piled up in the corner. Broken sneakers and basketballs were all stacked there. Meng Yufan suspected that they might collapse at any time.

“Coach, what’s the matter?”

Coach Wu didn’t talk nonsense, and said directly: “It’s a bit of a problem… Just now, a program group came to me and said that they are going to be a basketball variety show and are looking for young and capable basketball players. Our Huada is a strong team. Just one stop came to us, saying that it would give us an invisible seed spot and be guaranteed to enter the final three rounds.”

The so-called invisible seed, in the words of the fan circle, is the “son of the heaven”. Through internal control of the schedule, when the two teams are pk, the situation is favorable to the other side and wins a crushing victory.

Coach Wu also said: “I discussed with the other two teaching assistants. I think this is a good publicity, both for the team and for you, but I still need to ask your opinion before signing up.”

Meng Yufan is a very low-key person. He doesn’t like to be pushy. He hesitated when he heard Coach Wu’s words and asked: “But if you go to record the show, won’t you delay training?”

“We also asked the other party about this question. The other party said that they only record once a week, and that they can compete with other opponents on the show, which is not a waste of time.”

Meng Yufan still hesitated.

To be honest, he really doesn’t like the practice of “invisible seeds”. He has the strength and he can play upright on his own. If even the game is controlled by others, where is the spirit of competitive sports?

Coach Wu saw his hesitation and persuaded: “If it’s a’Three Nothing’ variety show, I would definitely not persuade you to accept it. But this “Basketball Mania” is produced by the famous Kiwi website, and the team jumped out of the big TV station. , The project introduction is also very reliable, I think you can consider it.”

“… Still not.” Meng Yufan shook his head, but he didn’t give the real reason for rejection, only said, “I just want to practice with peace of mind, and I don’t want to be on TV.”

“Hi, this is not TV, this is an online video platform.”

“It’s all the same.” Meng Yufan said without blinking. “Coach, I’m actually allergic to the camera. As soon as the camera is pointed at me, I sneeze, runny nose, shortness of breath, and a small red rash all over my body.”

“…”

Okay, the child is older, and the coach can’t move.

The author has something to say: Meng Yufan: I won’t participate in the comprehensive…

Smile: I have a variety show here that I want you to participate in.

Meng Yufan: ojkb!
