Age of Legends

Chapter 85 There is a spirit in heaven
After finishing her temporary work at the TV station, Jiang Rong returned to school. Her home was in the nearby city, so she went home to celebrate the Spring Festival. After the holiday, Wang Bowen started working, so she returned to Rongcheng and lived in the school. At this time, the phone call came.

"Jiang Rong, what are you thinking about? I asked Wang Juan to tell you why you didn't come to the dinner with Dean Li today? Didn't she bring any message? Hey, I'll come down and talk to her. You too, I told you that Dean Li is a veteran media person. It's very important for you to get to know these veteran media people now. Do you still want to stay in Rongcheng?"

The call came from the counselor. Jiang Rong went back to school to get the key and registered with him, so the counselor knew how many people were living in the dormitory. Dean Li was having a dinner party today, and the counselor would invite some pretty girls from the department to join the dinner party. This was already the second call Jiang Rong had pushed this year.

There were rumors about this kind of thing happening in the academy, and some girls even stayed out all night. It was also rumored that some girls did get some benefits from this kind of dinner.

As the internship approached, the counselor received more calls for dinner. The tone of her voice showed that Dean Li valued her very much among so many people, and he always wanted to chat with her and listen to her internship intentions and graduation plans.

The counselor's voice continued from the other end of the phone; "To be honest, it's just a matter of drinking. You are so old now, you should also learn social skills and learn some emotional intelligence. I am also creating opportunities for you. Dean Li has very good relationships and has many friends and apprentices. If you drink a few glasses of wine with him, it will be easy for you to find a good internship. He may even arrange the follow-up work for you directly..."

Jiang Rong said, "Thank you, counselor. I found a job and I don't need it anymore."

The person on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned. "Did you find it? Where did you find it?"

"The TV station."

"TV station, Rongcheng TV station?"

"Ah."

"Is it legitimate? I'm afraid they'll use you as a laborer... It's not safe..."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Rong walked through the deserted campus, which had not yet started. Outside the audio-visual teaching building next to her, there was still a poster of an expert who had given a lecture on campus at the end of last semester, titled "Television Media in the Multimedia Age."

The warehouse over there is piled with promotional materials for the "Top Ten Campus Singers Contest" and they have not been cleared away yet.

After buying some snacks and walking on the deserted campus streets, Jiang Rong saw the lecture halls and teaching buildings, and recalled the memories of attending classes or lectures there.

"As the century passed peacefully, the media was particularly restless. The unrest at the end of the century snowballed and manifested itself in words and images."

"The CCTV singing competition started with the host competition, which set off the climax of the year's television. The subsequent TV dance competition, TV debate competition, TV judge competition, TV fashion design competition, etc. set off a climax of Chinese television moving closer to culture."

"Inspired by 'Tell the Truth', talk shows have flourished across the country, with almost all TV stations rushing to offer this program. Talking freely has become the typical embodiment of TV chatter."

"No cultural or artistic style can resist the challenge from the new state of television... The new state of television has gradually gained the leading position in culture and art. Under the impact of economic trends, all other cultural arts have retreated to the margins of social life... The introduction of science and technology has rearranged the order of literature and art, making television, which was originally known as the 'ninth art', leap to the prominent position of the leader."

"Literature, once the crown of art, cannot resist the temptation of the new state of television to open up to it. Drama, opera, folk art, film and other cultural arts will have a hard time if they do not marry television. The new state of television is like an arrogant overlord, waiting for other art tribes to submit to its command."

"Television scholar F. Brazil once said: "In order to reveal all kinds of life and bring this life to the screen, television is seeking new forms of expression every day." However, if this "new form of expression" abandons the profound investigation of narrative connotation and only pursues the level of form, then the new state of television under the sovereignty of the alliance does not have real freedom, but only pseudo-freedom. It only has the meaning of the media itself, without ultimate concern, and only cares about ratings without real spiritual communication."

Thinking of the contents in these textbooks, Jiang Rong felt that the TV program born from the studio of Rongcheng TV Station was like a monster. A monster that was out of control and even criticized by textbooks. It seemed to have appeared on the TV stage at the turn of the century.

But she couldn't control it all and could only watch it run wildly.

Where it will go is not something that can be changed by her personal will.

This plan was actually planned by Zhang Chen. This boy, who was only in the second year of high school, had the rising star that stirred up Rongcheng during the Spring Festival, and this explosive emotional mediation plan.

What kind of genius is this?
She touched the money she earned from her work. It was stable and the foundation for a stable life.

Between the moon and sixpence, let's consider sixpence for now.

As for the future of television, as a new media recruit and a conscripted extra, I will just follow this trend.

But mom...please don't watch TV up there.

If you want to look, don’t look at Rongcheng Second Set!
……

The recording of the program is going on in full swing.

Once started, recording is actually very fast, but the time spent in post-production is what takes time.

Wang Bowen planned to take advantage of this period of time to record more stock, so he had to ask Zhang Chen to write the subsequent scripts as soon as possible.

During this period, Zhang Chen was the one who was exploited. He had free time in the afternoons and took tutoring classes with Shen Nuoyi, and wrote scripts at night.

Fortunately, Wang Shuowei gave the computer he had “retired” at home to Zhang Chen. In fact, it was not Zhang Chen who asked for it, but Wang Shuowei’s “brilliant idea”. Anyway, Wang Bowen had made so much money this time, and Wang Shuowei wanted to change the computer again, so he set his sights on Zhang Chen. Only if Zhang Chen asked, could he replace the computer that he had bought for 20,000 yuan that year with a new one.

Zhang Chen thought that it was indeed inconvenient not to have a computer now. The only thing at home was a bulky work laptop distributed by his father's company, but it was not for Zhang Chen and was difficult to use.

If he went to buy it himself, given the performance and price of computers at that time, he, a person from the future, would simply not be able to afford it. What kind of cost-effectiveness is this? What purchasing power does money have now?
Just as Wang Shuowei mentioned the word "embarrassed", Wang Bowen was tricked. When he was about to pay, he realized what was happening and said to Zhang Chen, "You are even going to take my computer away!"

"I'm just writing the script for you." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Wang Bowen thought about it and realized that it was true, so he nodded in agreement.
