Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 637: Explosive Female Director

With the annual Double Eleven approaching, the entire network has entered into a consumption carnival.

Zhou Hao flew to Yanjing with his first draft of the design and met with the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

This year's chief director is Lei Qian, a female director with a thin figure and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which makes her look quite intellectual and beautiful.

But long before he came here, he had already received a warning from Kong Lin - don't be fooled by Lei Qian's appearance, this woman has a hot temper!

"Take a seat, Mr. Zhou." Lei Qian came up and said with a smile, "Thank you for making me come all this way."

"Director Lei, if you say that, then I don't dare sit down." Zhou Hao said helplessly.

Lei Qian laughed and said, "Sit down, sit down, and talk."

After sitting down and exchanging a few words, she picked up Zhou Hao's program plan and started reading it.

When I read halfway, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"It's Teacher Zhou after all." Lei Qian closed the plan and said with emotion: "This program is amazing."

Zhou Hao was stunned. Is that the end?
Even kindergarten programs aren’t arranged so hastily, right?

"Don't be so surprised." Lei Qian said with a smile: "I trust people when I employ them, and I don't employ people I doubt. This is my principle. Since I have given you this authority, I will not go back on my word. This program will be conducted according to your wishes. My only request is - hurry up."

Zhou Hao nodded, "Thank you Director Lei for your trust."

It does have to be quick. It's already mid-November, and there are only two months left until the Spring Festival. In the meantime, we still have to choreograph, rehearse, review, and participate in group rehearsals... the schedule is extremely tight.

"Keep working hard." Lei Qian encouraged, "If you need any help, just come to me and I'll help you."

Zhou Hao nodded seriously, feeling a little surprised.

Director Lei's style seems to be a little different from what Kong Lin said?

This doesn't look like some explosive charcoal at all, it's clearly a caring old sister.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Lei Qian suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I have something else I want to ask your opinion on."

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment and sat back.

"I watched the show 'The Voice of China' that you did before. It was very interesting. It's been a long time since such a popular new product appeared in the variety show circle."

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately tasted something strange.

As expected, Lei Qian immediately said, "Next year, the station is planning a variety show about Chinese culture. Are you interested in participating?"

Although he had guessed it before, he was still a little surprised to hear it in person, "Me?"

"Yes, you." Lei Qian nodded and said, "I am the chief director of that program, and I would like to invite you to be my deputy."

Zhou Hao was silent for a moment. To be honest, being able to be the director-general's assistant was already pretty good. After all, he was just an outsider who was parachuted in.

But this is also a hidden danger. There are a lot of evil spirits there, and an outsider who holds a high position can easily become a thorn in their eyes.

When he participated in the Spring Festival Gala that year, he was even just a non-staff member who took part in a few programs, but he became a thorn in the eyes of many "old artists", and Kong Lin was softly banned for a year.

If it weren't for the fact that he has been so popular in the past two years, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to perform at the Spring Festival Gala again. But this time he is the real deputy director, second only to the director in the team. What do you think those old employees will think?
Who knows what kind of trouble will arise by then.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Director Lei, I think the schedule may be a little bit..."

"I asked someone to ask your agent Zhang Hong." Lei Qian said directly: "She said that your work plan for next year has not been finalized yet."

Zhou Hao was instantly embarrassed.

"Don't tell me you're not good at this. When it comes to poetry and songs, I think there are few people in the entire Chinese literary world who can be compared with you. I remember clearly that you became famous with poetry, and..."

Lei Qian smiled ghostly, "And last year, I saw a draft plan called "Chinese Poetry Conference", and your name was on it."

Zhou Hao sighed speechlessly. This guy Lao Kong is really...

The planning of the "Chinese Poetry Competition" was originally assigned to him, but it was never completed due to a soft ban. Later, Lin resigned from Big Underpants and the matter was naturally shelved.

I didn’t expect that this plan would end up in Lei Qian’s hands after so many twists and turns?
"I know what you're worried about." Lei Qian spoke again: "Don't worry, since I brought you into the group, I will naturally give you enough prestige and status, and no one will say anything."

"If anyone dares to disobey you, you can fight to the death and I will help you clean up the mess."

Zhou Hao twitched his lips. How naive must he be to believe this?

Only a newbie in the workplace would believe in such empty and powerless promises.

"Director Lei, does it have to be me?" Zhou Hao didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.

"Yes, it has to be you." Lei Qian nodded and said, "There are many reasons. First, you are the one who planned this program. If we do this program without you, it will easily involve copyright infringement."

"Second, you are the one who planned the show. No one knows better than you what kind of effect the show needs."

"Third, you have sufficient attainments in poetry. If you serve as the image spokesperson for this program, you will naturally bring a lot of attention."

"Fourth... I am just personally very optimistic about your ability to produce variety shows."

Zhou Hao was still a little hesitant. The benefits were tempting, but the hidden dangers also had to be considered.

What happened after the last Spring Festival Gala left him with a significant psychological trauma.

"Teacher Zhou, you can promote other programs, but you can't promote this one, right?" Lei Qian began to use the PUA method. "Those nipple music programs, you can promote them, they are insignificant, but this is a program that promotes Chinese culture and quintessence, it is of great significance!"

"Young people these days are all learning English. Many of them speak English more fluently than their native language. They quote foreign literary classics all the time and look down on their own cultural heritage. If this continues, something bad will happen!"

Zhou Hao almost couldn't hold it in. This reason was really...

Director Lei really took great pains to get him out of the mountain.

But this PUA reason is really powerful, like a tight hoop, which can be big or small...

After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally said, "I can participate, but I have one condition."

Lei Qian's eyes lit up, and she slammed the table and said, "What conditions are you asking for? Just tell me. Anything is fine as long as my ability allows!"

"When the time comes, I'd like to invite a few children from Siyuan Village to participate in this show!"
