Age of Legends

Chapter 74 Giving Money
The TV station’s rehearsal and training ended, and Zhang Chen went to the scene on the day of recording.

The TV station has now not only allocated space to Studio 7, but has also opened up the conference rooms and dance rehearsal rooms in the four studios to provide relevant training for Wang Bowen's program.

The event was in full swing, and as it was approaching the Spring Festival, many shops in the surrounding streets were closed for the holiday, creating a feeling of bleak winter spring yet with endless hope.

Today is the recording day, and the TV station's studio area is already packed with people. Performers are wearing all kinds of performance costumes, accompanied by their parents and family members. There are constant clusters of people in the studio.

The entire day is divided into several time periods for recording and broadcasting. Each performance is scheduled very tightly. Often a group of people go in, and after the performance, they leave quickly.

When Zhang Chen arrived, he and Wang Shuowei carried several boxes of mineral water and dropped them in the lobby of the studio for the performers and their families to use.

Zhang Chen saw Jiang Rong, who was in charge of calling out the performance times according to the schedule, and then leading people into the studio. After the performance, other people would lead people out through another side door.

The entire studio forms a loop, with people lining up in the main entrance hall waiting for the performance. After the performance, they leave one by one from the other side of the studio and leave directly from the back door of the TV station.

in Apple pie order.

However, Jiang Rong was no longer as pure and beautiful as before. She tied her hair up, wore a shirt with the program logo printed on it for convenience, a baseball cap, jeans, and dressed like a cow and horse. She sent a group of people into the studio for recording. During this time, she had time to take a break and talk to Zhang Chen.

The studio is very large and the stage in the middle is decorated very luxuriously, not at all like the simplicity of 2000. This was mentioned in Zhang Chen's plan, which focused on stage effects.

After all, he had experiences in his past life, and he only came up with a passable prototype of the future life in his mind. Wang Bowen realized the essence of aesthetics, so the stage arrangement was better than the general performances today.

The effect seemed to be very good. A large area of the studio was dark, and the parents who followed the performance sat in the audience. After their children finished their performance, they immediately took their children away, operating in a streamlined manner.

"These equipments are pretty good." Zhang Chen said to Jiang Rong, looking at the filming machines that were set up like particle cannons.

"Director Yu allocated the money, saying that it was to protect the rising stars. I think it was to ensure the performance of Secretary Yan's daughter." Jiang Rong said with a frown.

Zhang Chen glanced at her and thought, girl, you have very extreme ideas when you grow up.

"Perhaps Director Yu is also impressed by Teacher Wang's production ability." Zhang Chen smiled. "By the way, has Zhao Xinhua from the management office ever caused any trouble?"

Jiang Rong said, "He was transferred to guard the reservoir. It was said that Director Yu transferred him there."

"What?" Zhang Chen was a little confused. "What reservoir are you guarding?"

"There was a reservoir invested by the TV station. It seemed that they were short of people, so they transferred him there. He is also the administrator, as the representative of the investor. It is said that the scenery there is beautiful."

Zhang Chen was in a dilemma. The western region was developed, the TV station was operated as an enterprise, and some local industries were invested. I think Zhao Xinhua was arranged. The TV station also had shares in the reservoir, so the cultural tourism industry was flourishing. It was really abstract.

When Jiang Rong said this, the expression on her pretty face was quite interesting. She is also an old hermaphrodite.

That day was the recording day of the dance program. Zhang Chen also saw Liu Xiwei and Yan Mingshu. They were VIPs performing solo and wearing performance costumes. Yan Mingshu looked like a spider spirit, while Liu Xiwei wore a dress with green sleeves. Zhang Chen saw that there was no water in their lounge, so he went to get a bag and carried a bunch of water to them.

The lounge they were in was like a dressing room, with individual cubicles separating each seat.

Yan Mingshu and Liu Xiwei were there, and Zhang Chen came over to greet them, since they were big clients after all, and then he gave them some drinks at each table.

Yan Mingshu had been posing in the mirror, as if there was something missing from the back of her costume. She was pulling it up, and when she saw Zhang Chen coming over, she tilted her head to look at him and asked with a smile, "Do I look good today?"

"Looks good!" Zhang Chen said casually. What's so good about it? She was wearing stage makeup, red eyes, white face, and tattoos. She looked like a fairy from Journey to the West.

Then she stopped Zhang Chen who was about to leave and said, "The button on the back of my collar seems to have fallen off. Can you help me fix it?"

Maybe it was because she was indeed a lady with a gentle temperament, but not bossy, she just said whatever she thought. Plus, Zhang Chen was the planner of the show, so she didn't shy away from asking Zhang Chen for help.

Zhang Chen saw that the back button of her black dress was about to fall off, revealing her fair back. She lowered her head slightly and pushed her hair forward, showing her fair neck to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen thought to himself, Miss Yan, you are really generous. Zhang Chen twisted the back of her collar and helped her button that button, but the thin thread of the button was broken.

"Hey, can you do it?" Yan Mingshu glared at him.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to look around and saw a pin on the table. He said, "I'll pin it up for you. The button has fallen off!"

As a result, Zhang Chen was indeed dazzled by Miss Yan's white neck. He was clumsy and the needle poked her neck flesh.

"Hiss...it hurts!" Yan Mingshu was almost in tears.

"It's almost there, it's almost there!" Finally, I stopped doing it.

Yan Mingshu turned back and said with red eyes: "I won't dare let you come here again."

I felt both pain and anger, thinking that this man was really not delicate!
Zhang Chen had no choice. He had always been willing to serve the clients who paid him 19,000 yuan.

When he turned around, he saw Liu Xiwei walking back from outside and was stunned.

Zhang Chen didn't know how to explain it. When Yan Mingshu and the others were recording the show, Zhang Chen stood at the door of the studio. Liu Xiwei, wearing a long sleeve dress, glared at him as she passed by. "Didn't you say you wouldn't touch Big Brother's woman?!"

That inquiring look was met with a cold brow.

One mistake and it's over.

"My sister does..." Zhang Chen was left standing there with no way to defend himself.

……

The recording of Tomorrow's Star has been completed and is waiting to be broadcast.

That night, Wang Bowen came to Zhang Chen's house with a stack of money.

Then he placed the 100,000 yuan in front of Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen.

Looking at these stacks of cash consisting of hundred-dollar bills, Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen looked at each other in surprise.

Huang Huifen asked, "Are you really going to take it out?"

Wang Bowen sat crookedly on a wooden chair in Zhang Chen's house, one hand on the backrest and the other on the tabletop. He patted the cash wrapped in newspapers and pretended, "What did I say? I said I could lend it to you. I can do it."

Huang Huifen asked, "How does your show make money like this?"

Zhang Zhonghua said, "What are you talking about? Isn't that nonsense? Who is his godfather? There will always be a time for him to turn things around!"

Wang Bowen was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Zhang Chen on the sofa and smiled again, "This time, Ding Shunhua talked to me about some of the subsequent plans of the station. He plans to create a program after the beginning of the year. The purpose is to inject new vitality into the TV station. We can no longer let advertisements take up half of the time of the purchased programs as before. We must create new forms of advertising business to improve people's satisfaction and ratings."

As he spoke, Wang Bowen raised his eyebrows and gestured to Zhang Chen.

I think it’s because Wang Bowen has made such a big splash with the Star of Tomorrow this time, and has also been innovating in publicity and marketing. The old director feels that he can take advantage of this opportunity and launch Wang Bowen and Executive Director Liu Bingrong to compete against each other.

I guess he intends to go one step further at the end.

As for whether to get promoted in the propaganda department or be arranged for retirement, this is the time to give it a try.
