Chapter 143 Pre-job meeting
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Huang Chenghu looked at the dazed Jin Guanglu, patted him on the face and asked.
"Ouch, what are you doing? It hurts so much. I'm wondering whether I should report this matter or just call my brothers over. But after thinking about it, calling people over directly will not do us any good if the matter gets out of hand. So let's notify the boss first, and then let that kid Lin Dazhong come over to Qingsong Hall to sign up and infiltrate the enemy first. As for the grudge, we can deal with it later!" Jin Guanglu thought for a while and made a decision. In this situation, if he had a conflict with a guy like that again, he might be beaten into an idiot. If he was discovered by Park Zhilong or caught by the police, that would be real trouble.
Huang Chenghu didn't think so much, he just nodded and said: "This is a good idea, then let's contact the boss now?"
Jin Guanglu looked at the time, it was 6:30 in the afternoon, thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, let's do it now. After all, it's a holiday today. The boss's nightlife might start in a little while!"
After saying that, Jin Guanglu chose Zheng Xiuheng's phone number and called him.
At the same time, Zheng Xiuheng, who was discussing tomorrow's theme and progress with MBC and Lee Jong-min, also received a call from Jin Guanglu.
"Sorry, I have to take a call!"
Seeing Zheng Xiuheng leave the meeting room like this, Li Zhongmin also sighed deeply.
Writer Li Zhimei, who was standing by, smiled when she saw Li Zhongmin's look. "Senior, you have been too anxious and nervous recently. It's just a phone call. And Xiu Hengxi, although his time of coming to the company is not accurate, his working hours are not shortened and he studies very seriously. The new anchor's matter is actually more about the competition between Xiu Hengxi and Cui Minxi. Of course, this is about the future of our working group, but it's not big enough to involve more than the two parties involved!"
"So, do what we should do. Even in the worst case scenario, if neither of us can make it, the company can always send an announcer over, or even invite an artist. Don't argue too much with the top management, maybe they don't even pay attention to this anymore!"
Li Zhongmin was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, his expression finally softened a little. He smiled helplessly and said, "You are right. Maybe I think too much. If I think about it carefully, Xilie should have explained the situation to Zheng Xiuheng. If it were me, I would probably have the same attitude as him!"
"Tsk, Senior, you must be lying. You should know that when you first joined the company, you rushed to do everything and ran errands for your seniors in order to get a full-time job..."
"Ahem, junior Lee Ji-mei, we are discussing the topic of tomorrow's program and the pairing of the two of us. What are you talking about?" Lee Jong-min's face turned a little red. To be honest, comparing Zheng Xiuheng's attitude with his own when he entered MBC, there is a world of difference.
In fact, Lee Jong-min feels that it is very difficult for Zheng Xiuheng, who works hard every day to complete what he should do, studies seriously, and doesn't care about other things, to survive in social life. In Korean social life, you can't play it cool unless you are really capable, such as having a lot of awesome certificates, dazzling work experience , or a very impressive background.
Apart from these two categories, if ordinary office workers are like Zheng Xiuheng in the company, even if they are not eliminated, it will be difficult for them to get opportunities for promotion and salary increase.
But now thinking about it, even I know that as long as Choi Min-hee performs decently in the broadcast, the person who will take the job in the end will basically not be Zheng Xiuheng. Although I am looking forward to Zheng Xiuheng's amazing performance, it is just an expectation.
In this case, it is understandable if you think about it. For those who know the inside story, this can be said to be just a short experience.
"Ah, it was just my momentary anger, and I suddenly feel a little sorry for Zheng Xiuheng!" Li Zhongmin suddenly sighed, took off his glasses and said somewhat frustratedly.
There are only four people in the room now, besides Lee Jong-min, there are the main creator Lee Ji-mi, an assistant writer, and the supporting writer Han Ji-won.
Assistant writers and supporting writers seem to be similar, but in fact there is a huge difference. Writers are divided into many categories according to the type of program, but generally speaking, not all TV station writers are affiliated with the TV station. On the contrary, many writers are freelance, so there is generally no such thing as a department manager. These program writers basically follow the program team.
Of course, there are freelance writers who are not from the TV station, and there are also those who work for the TV station. Li Zhimei is a writer who works for the TV station, and a very capable writer at that. In addition to the work on the radio station side, she also has to prepare some work for the variety shows.
In this way, Li Zhimei has an assistant, who is the so-called assistant writer. Of course, there are also non-personal assistants who simply serve the program.
As for assistant writers, there is not much to say. They can be simply described as people who get things done. They are responsible for taking minutes of meetings, looking up information, perfecting scripts, and a host of other trivial tasks. Many of these tasks are completed by assistant writers according to the arrangements of other writers.
This is not to say that it is bullying. This is the most basic path to promotion. Only when you do a good job as an assistant writer can you be converted to a full-time writer. Even if you are a freelance writer, many people have come this way.
"Anyway, we are very grateful to you. At least you kept us in a good mood for a few days!" Li Zhimei said jokingly, and she was very open-minded about the matter.
Li Zhongmin smiled helplessly. He was really helpless about these women's thoughts, but he had to admit that having a good face was indeed very useful in Korea. If you also had a good figure, it would be even better.
Just like Zheng Xiuheng's recent days at MBC, these female writers have fully demonstrated the spirit of a sister, especially the women in his group.
"Jiyuan, you have been quiet these days. Are you unhappy about something?" Li Zhongmin asked the youngest member of the group, Han Jiyuan, in a strange way when he looked at the three women in the room. Everyone liked this hard-working young writer very much. She was pretty and well-behaved. She was one of the most beautiful women in the broadcasting station. However, this kind of boring topic was just something they talked about in their spare time.
"It's nothing, I'm fine, thank you PD for your concern!" Han Zhiyuan raised her head and thanked with a smile, then continued to type on the notebook with her head down , and fatigue instantly appeared on her face again.
"Excuse me!"
Li Zhongmin wanted to say something, but Zheng Xiuheng pushed open the door and walked in. He walked over to sit next to Han Zhiyuan, picked up his pen and notebook, and said, "I'm sorry, you can continue now!"
Li Zhongmin looked at Zheng Xiuheng's calm expression and felt a little helpless. However, he had thought a lot more clearly at this moment. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's almost seven o'clock now. Let's take a break and eat. It's time to prepare for the next program. Today's meeting ends here. Tomorrow's theme will be 'Your Valentine's Day' as mentioned before. The main purpose is to let the audience share their stories of yesterday's Valentine's Day. The manuscripts, website messages, and text messages should all be prepared in a richer way. When the time comes, just try to reduce the free play in the early part of the hosting!"
Zheng Xiuheng was a little surprised. Seeing Li Zhongmin so distressed, he thought they would continue to discuss it. He didn't expect that he would get a result just by answering a phone call. But this is not bad either.
"As for the hosting issue, I believe you won't cause any trouble, Xiuhengxi, because of the experience from last time. On the contrary, I have no idea what Choi Minxi is thinking, to be honest . This is the first time I have seen someone like him. Although I shouldn't say such things, I don't like it whether it is subjective or objective. However, I admit that my idea at the beginning was to express my own position and attitude, but no matter what, I do hope that you can take over this show from Xilie, so keep up the good work tomorrow!"
"Uh, okay!"
“Quack, quack!”
Li Zhongmin didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear the sound of crows. Except for Han Zhiyuan, the other two writers all looked like they were trying to hold back laughter. It seemed that Zheng Xiuheng's dry and brief answer tickled their funny bones.
Zheng Xiuheng actually didn't mean it. Who knew Lee Jong Min would say this? And if you think about it carefully, Lee Jong Min also admitted that he was not recruited because he had high hopes for him. Zheng Xiuheng also felt quite embarrassed, so he could only answer him dryly.
"Okay, that's it. Xiu Hengxi, today is Valentine's Day. Do you have any plans for tonight? Or are you going to continue to accompany everyone to record the show?" Sister Li Zhimei, who had short hair, asked with a smile, which was considered to ease the awkwardness.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and smiled at the elder sister who was taking good care of him, "Not today, I have other things to do in the evening!"
"Oh? Is it a date?"
"Yes and no, PD Li, if you don't have other plans, I'll go back first."
"Well, that's enough. You've already figured out the recording process. Staying to learn from experience is not very reliable. I think your style when you assisted last time was very good. Look, I'm talking about work again. Happy holidays today. I wish you can get more chocolates!" Li Zhongmin also said jokingly. Although he was a little embarrassed before, he is really more relaxed now. He was too obsessed with this matter in the past few days.
After everyone tidied themselves up, they left the meeting room, except for Han Zhiyuan who was still sitting there recording something.
