Chapter 36: Ratings earned with moral integrity
night.
Xu Jie sat in front of the TV on time, drinking beer and waiting for the winter special to begin.
In order to avoid the program being criticized, he had played a trick on Zhou Min'er against his will these days. To be honest, he felt very bad about it. Not only did he fail to help, but he also caused trouble for the other party. He planned to apologize to Zhou Min'er after watching the show, hoping that she could understand his difficulties.
"Ding-dang ding, ding-dang ding..."
The familiar theme song of the program sounded, and Zhou Min'er, wearing a white business suit, appeared on the screen.
"Hello everyone, welcome to today's "Serving the People's Livelihood" program. I am the host Min'er. With the arrival of winter, the weather is getting colder and drier, and people's resistance is also declining. So is there any effortless and simple way to improve our resistance? Today I will bring you a winter special program - Winter Food. Please follow me and my friends to start a delicious and nutritious food journey."
The scene changed, and Zhou Min'er and Xu Jie appeared in the camera again.
"Hello everyone, I'm Min'er, and the person next to me is my friend Xu Jie..."
"???"
Xu Jie stopped gnawing on the duck neck and stared blankly at himself on TV, completely stunned.
This paragraph...
This clip should be after the shooting task was completed that night. A fan at the scene recognized Zhou Miner, and Zhou Miner introduced herself in a friendly manner, and then playfully introduced him.
Was this part also filmed?
Why was it cut to the front?
He immediately found his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Mingliang: Who edited the footage for the special program?
Probably also watching the show, he soon received a reply from Zhang Mingliang.
"Min Er cut it."
“…”
Xu Jie looked up at the program that was still being broadcast, and suddenly a bad feeling came to his heart.
really.
As the program progressed, his shots were no less than Zhou Min'er's, especially when he was eating, telling stories and joking, all of which were edited into the main film.
He finally waited for the copper pot hot pot meat episode to end, but the following roast duck episode directly shattered his moral integrity.
“When eating, wrap the lotus leaf pancake with scallion, garlic slices, and cucumber strips…”
"It sounds like steamed buns stuffed with roast duck."
"The meat of Beijing duck in winter and spring is fat and tender, which is the best season to eat roast duck..."
"I eat it all year round. It's not like I don't have the conditions."
Xu Jie's face turned red and white, and the duck in his hand no longer tasted good.
He never dreamed that Zhou Min'er would keep all the sarcastic remarks he made, and even passed the station's review. Doesn't this damage his image?
Morality!
Broken into pieces!
“Ring, ring, ring!”
At this moment, the cell phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. It was Su Yun calling.
"Hello?"
"Are you watching the show? Hehehe!" Su Yun's laughter suddenly came from the microphone.
"What do you want to say?" Xu Jie's face was gloomy.
"I want to say that you look quite photogenic," said Su Yun.
"Hmph, do you think I don't know what's in your mind?" Xu Jie said coldly.
"Really? It seems that our relationship has developed very quickly, and has reached the point where 'even though we are thousands of miles apart, we can still connect with each other'. In that case, please treat me to roast duck. I will take a flight at noon tomorrow and will be back in Beijing tonight. Remember to pick me up at the airport."
"Know it!"
…
…
Saturday.
Xu Jie came to a breakfast shop near the community and ordered a bowl of fried liver and four steamed buns. He was not feeling well after drinking a few cans of beer last night, so he came out to eat something hot in the morning to warm his stomach.
He arrived early and there were still seats available. Halfway through the meal, people came in and started sharing the table. After a while, a long line formed.
When I usually pass by on my way to work, I don’t see so many people.
Just when Xu Jie was wondering, the conversation of the people at the table behind him reached his ears.
"Boss Wang, why are you here to eat fried liver?"
"It's not my daughter. Last night, 'Serving the People' broadcasted a winter special called Winter Food, which included a segment on stir-fried liver. She kept clamoring for me to take her to eat it, so I brought her here."
"What a coincidence. I came here to eat after watching that show. I wasn't greedy at first, but the male host on the show ate so deliciously. If it hadn't been sold out at midnight, I would have come out to eat last night."
"You watched it too? That show is usually very serious, but last night a host who likes to make jokes suddenly appeared and argued with the female host. It was quite interesting."
"Yes, yes. Especially when the female host was criticized and felt hopeless, my wife laughed so hard. It's a pity that it was a special program with only one episode. My wife even said she didn't see enough."
“…”
After hearing this, Xu Jie didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
I am happy that the winter special program aired last night seemed to be quite good. However, I am sad that I am a reporter of livelihood programs, but now in the eyes of the audience, I have become a funny .
Just when he was about to finish eating, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was his senior sister calling.
"director……"
As soon as Xu Jie opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the other end.
"Xu Jie, yesterday's ratings rankings have come out. Guess where we rank?"
Xu Jie wiped his mouth with tissue. The Life Program Center would compile a ratings ranking list the day after all programs on the Life Channel were broadcast. Usually, "Serving the People's Livelihood" was always ranked second or third, and the first was "Beijing Life" which firmly occupied the 7 pm prime time. Just now, I heard that the senior sister's voice seemed very excited, so there should be a breakthrough in the ranking.
"First?" Xu Jie made a bold guess.
"Yes, it is first, and it is 3 points higher than the second-ranked "Beijing Life", creating the highest ratings record for our "Serving the People's Livelihood" since its launch." Wang Jingmin said excitedly.
Xu Jie showed a surprised expression after hearing this.
The first one is not difficult to guess, after all, he has the support of Su Yun’s repost and his one million black fans, but the fact that it is 3 points higher is very surprising, after all, the program’s viewership area is limited to Beijing.
"Director Li from our program center just called me and congratulated me on the achievements of the winter special program. He also specifically praised you and Min'er, saying that you young people are so creative and have ideas. You are expected to produce even better programs by keeping up the good work in the future," Wang Jingmin said incessantly.
"Is there a bonus?" Xu Jie asked. It was useless to just praise someone verbally, he had to take some practical actions. These were the ratings he earned with his integrity.
"Xu Jie, as a journalist, you should have a lofty professional spirit and always put the program first. How can you talk about bonuses all the time? Junior brother, I didn't expect you to be so vulgar." Wang Jingmin said seriously.
Just knew it would be like this.
Xu Jie thought.
Whenever we talk about bonuses, I always respond with professionalism.
Can spirit be eaten?
He still owes Su Yun more than 100,000 yuan in foreign debt.
If we don’t talk about bonuses, then what about feelings?
"Xiao Xu, do you know what ?" Wang Jingmin asked lightly.
Xu Jie's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Senior Sister, no, you don't need to reward me in your personal name."
"You're overthinking it. I was thinking that the winter solstice is about to come in about twenty days. Should we launch a winter solstice special program, a dumplings special, and let you and Zhou Min'er continue to host it in this way?"
“…”
