Chapter 41: The Rhythm to be Reused
A BMW Mini stopped outside the gate of Beijing TV Station and Xu Jie got out of the car.
"Honey, I have acting and body shape classes today, so I might have to practice until very late. You can take care of dinner by yourself and don't have to wait for me." Su Yun said with a smile. Her voice was sweet and soft, just as beautiful as her singing.
"Yeah." Xu Jie closed the car door, but he was wondering in his heart: It's as if I often wait for you to eat. Can you please stop showing off your affection when no one is watching?
The BMW Mini drove away and Xu Jie turned and walked into the gate.
"Xu Jie!"
Suddenly a voice came from the direction of the parking lot. Xu Jie turned his head slightly and took a look. It was Qin Yan, the host of the arts channel. Thinking that there might be another interview, he continued walking forward and pretended not to hear it.
"Don't go, wait for me." Qin Yan shouted while chasing.
Xu Jie walked even faster.
Qin Yan chased after him, grabbed Xu Jie's arm, ran to the front to block Xu Jie's way, and said unhappily: "Why are you running? I called you, didn't you hear me?"
"I heard it." Xu Jie said calmly, "Aren't you afraid that reporters will take pictures and upload them to the Internet, and then people will misunderstand you as a scumbag?"
Qin Yan blushed, thinking of the last misunderstanding, and said embarrassedly: "I am apologizing for the last misunderstanding. I wrongly blamed you. Some media outlets are too abominable now. They are just trying to attract attention and create chaos. They should be severely punished."
After hearing this, Xu Jie almost clapped his hands like a seal. This was a great way to shift the blame.
As a media person, shouldn't you reflect on your own behavior if you believe everything you hear?
"Are you okay? If it's ok, I'm leaving." Xu Jie looked around cautiously, fearing that he would be photographed.
Qin Yan looked at the man's back and shouted, "I also watched the winter special on Friday. It was filmed very well."
"Thank you for the affirmation, I will keep working hard." Xu Jie waved with his back turned.
Qin Yan pursed her lips. This man really holds a grudge.
Xu Jie walked into the program team and immediately became the focus before he had time to say hello to his colleagues.
"Xiao Xu, congratulations, your show on Friday won the channel's ratings championship that day."
"Yes, it even broke the ratings record of our Serving the People program. My little Xu is awesome."
"I met the host of Beijing Life when I came here just now. His face was as black as a gorilla, haha!"
The ratings of "Serving the People's Livelihood" have been suppressed by "Beijing Life" for many years. This time, it was able to take first place, which is a proud moment.
"What's there to be happy about?" Shi Fei curled his lips and said coldly, "A livelihood program relies on food content to gain viewership. How shameful!"
It’s sour, as sour as eating a big black plum.
The most depressed person in the entire program team now is Shi Fei.
He secretly filmed Xu Jie and Min Er, originally intending to destroy their partnership and create an opportunity for himself to rise to the top. However, not only did he fail, he also created a wave of popularity for the show they filmed for free. As a result, too many people paid attention to it, the show became a hit, and the two hosts were called the best partners by the audience.
If he hadn't taken the photos secretly and made up gossips, there wouldn't be so many people paying attention to this program, and it would probably have received a lukewarm response like last year's special program.
"Shi Fei, what you said is wrong. Food is the primary need of the people. Eating is closely related to people's livelihood. What's more, the program introduces delicious and nutritious food. People like it, and this is success." Zhang Huihui said.
"That's right. Didn't you see how popular the roast duck restaurant is on weekends? It's almost hard to get a duck. The show's effect is great." Zhang Mingliang said excitedly. He also contributed to the success of the show, so he was naturally very happy.
Xu Jie had heard about the ratings from his senior sister, so he was not surprised. Instead, he said modestly, "It's all thanks to Min'er and Liang Ge. I just sat in front of the camera and ate and drank, and didn't contribute much in the post-production."
As they were talking, Zhou Miner walked in from outside.
"Hi, good morning everyone!" Zhou Min'er was in high spirits and had a bright smile.
"Speaking of the devil, hey, we just mentioned the show on Friday, and Xu Jie said that it's all your credit that the show became so popular." A colleague said to Zhou Min'er.
"Really?" Zhou Miner looked at Xu Jie with a smile. She was originally quite angry with this man, but when she saw the show became a hit, her anger disappeared.
"Min'er, congratulations!" Shi Fei suddenly stood up from his seat and said , "The ratings of the winter special program you are in charge of have exceeded those of "Beijing Life", which has won honor for our entire program team. You are my idol."
“…”
The others were speechless after hearing this.
Just now you said that it was shameful for a livelihood program to include food content, and now that Min Er is here you say it’s an honor. Isn’t this double standards?
Zhou Min'er didn't know Shi Fei's expression had changed, so she smiled and said, "Thank you."
Shi Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and beautiful snot bubbles almost came out.
Not long after, Wang Jingmin also came.
She was usually serious in front of her subordinates, but today she smiled for the first time. She stopped when passing by the office area, looked at everyone and said, "You all know that the special program on Friday ranked first in ratings. I want to give special praise to Min'er, Xu Jie and Ming Liang... Director Li just said that we should have more programs like this that are popular with the audience in the future, so I decided to turn this year's Winter Solstice into a special program, and Min'er and Xu Jie will still be in charge."
Xu Jie twitched his lips. He had heard about this from his senior sister on Saturday. At that time he thought she was just talk, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Don't worry, Director. Xu Jie and I will definitely do a good job on the show." Zhou Min'er said confidently.
When Shi Fei heard this, he immediately clenched his fists, his heart filled with envy and jealousy.
Adding special programs for Xu Jie and Min'er, and continuing to let Xu Jie and Min'er host the programs together, this is clearly the rhythm of reusing Xu Jie!
Reporter, host, there is a huge difference between these two jobs!
Reporters are behind the scenes most of the time. Although they have opportunities to appear on the TV, they will not be noticed most of the time. It is different for hosts. Not only will they have a lot of exposure, they can also become celebrities.
In the news industry, there are many successful examples of journalists switching careers to become hosts. All of those people are outstanding business elites, but what made Xu Jie so successful?
"Damn it, why doesn't anyone appreciate my talent?" Shi Fei thought hatefully.
…
There are still 20 days until the winter solstice.
Xu Jie has just finished filming the winter special program and is now starting to produce the winter solstice special program.
evening.
Xu Jie is off work.
As soon as he walked out of the unit, he saw a white GTR sports car whizzing towards him and stopped in front of him.
"Hello."
The car window opened and a shout was heard from inside.
Xu Jie looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Su Yun's younger brother Su Lei.
"Brother-in-law?" Xu Jie didn't expect Su Lei to stop the car and greet him. His opinion of this guy immediately changed a little.
"Get in the car." Su Lei waved his hand.
Xu Jie thought the other party was going to take him home, so he got in and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Su Lei didn't say anything, he stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car immediately rushed out.
Xu Jie sat there for a while before he gradually realized that he was taking the wrong road. The direction he was heading was neither to the villa nor to the Agricultural University staff housing complex.
"Where are we going?" Xu Jie asked.
"You'll know when you get there." Su Lei said mysteriously.
About ten minutes later, the GTR stopped outside a bar.
"get off."
Xu Jie looked at the colorful neon lights outside the bar and wondered what his brother-in-law was going to do, taking him here to drink and pick up girls?
The bar is very large, divided into two floors. Perhaps it was not yet opening time, so there were no customers except the waiters.
Xu Jie followed his brother-in-law upstairs. Not long after he walked, he heard Su Lei, who was leading the way, shout, "Brother Hao, I've brought the person to you."
Xu Jie looked ahead and immediately frowned. There were a few people sitting in a booth not far away, and one of them was the tall and thin man he met while eating roast duck on Saturday night.
Yes, Wu Hao!
