After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 441 Job Transfer
By Monday, everyone had arrived.

He Jin also came.

A total of seven talented colleagues selected from the TV station came to pretend to be contestants and participate in the pilot recording of "Everyone's Talented" program.

The scene was magnificent!
Putting aside everything else, there were over a hundred people on the "Everyone's Art Up" team alone. There were also many colleagues from work units, as well as industry peers visiting from the film and television base. All in all, the venue was packed with nearly two hundred people.

Most of them sat in the audience, acting as spectators.

"Sister Yang?"

Zhou Haoran called out from afar.

Bai Panyang, wearing a low-cut long dress, turned around and smiled, "Haoran, you must be very busy?"

"I'm fine..." Zhou Haoran walked over quickly, it was a bit noisy with so many people. "Didn't you say you weren't coming? You're...you're not a contestant, are you?"

Bai Panyang waved her hand to show off her dance dress and chuckled, "I'm going to dance a folk dance in a bit."

"So you really are a contestant!" Zhou Haoran said, both amused and exasperated. "I asked you to be the host, but you refused. Why did you come here as a contestant?"

Bai Panyang said, "Isn't this your and Suiqing's segment? I came to help out."

"Being a host is so great!"

"Suiqing is more outstanding than me."

“You…” Zhou Haoran shook his head. “Sister Yang, you may have misunderstood. Even Sister Suiqing may not be able to become the host of this program. We have several alternative plans.”

"what?"

Bai Panyang covered her mouth, quite surprised.

Zhou Haoran said, "First of all, we have to consider the program's needs and choose a host who best suits its personality. We can't just promote anyone because they have connections... Besides, I've made some adjustments to the program; there will be multiple hosts backstage. You can come and try it out in a bit!"

"I……"

Bai Panyang had wanted to change jobs for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to take Qiao Suiqing's place.

"Editor-in-Chief Dong! Editor-in-Chief Dong!" Zhou Haoran waved and called Dong Lan over. "This is Bai Panyang, the weather forecast host on the general channel. You can arrange things for her later. I think she'd be great as a backstage host. You two get to know each other. I'll be going now."

Too many people, and things get chaotic.

A very important person has arrived: Deputy Director Zhan Yushan has graced us with his presence!
It takes about an hour to drive from the TV station to the film and television base.

Zhan Yushan made a special trip to demonstrate his strong support for the program.

"Hey, you should have let me know in advance if you were coming, I would have come to pick you up!"

Zhou Haoran felt quite proud.

Zhan Yushan shook hands with him, smiling, and asked, "How are the preparations going?"

Zhou Haoran said, "That's about it. I estimate we'll officially start recording in about an hour."

"I'll take a look around here this afternoon." Zhan Yushan was surprised by the large studio. "How many audience members can this hold?"

"100 people."

"Do we have to invite audience members to each episode?"

"Correct."

"Then we must ensure safe production!"

Zhan Yushan became more cautious about this.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "The base has supporting facilities and also cooperates with the local police. Every time there is a recording, the police will come to ensure safety. Come on... to the booth, you can sit here for a while and temporarily act as our judge."

Zhan Yushan couldn't help but chuckle, "You've already assigned me work?"

Zhou Haoran said, "The capable should do more!"

Zhan Yushan sat down in the middle of the front row of the judges' panel and couldn't help but ask, "When the official recording starts, who will be the judges? Has it been decided yet?"

"No," Zhou Haoran said indifferently. "It was a last-minute arrangement."

"Huh?" Zhan Yushan was slightly taken aback. "Then it won't cause any delays, right?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "This is a film and television base. Many film and television crews will be shooting here. When the time comes, we can just bring a crew on-site temporarily, and invite the director and important actors. This is free publicity for them, and we don't need to pay a penny for judging."

Zhan Yushan hadn't expected this. "Judges don't need qualifications? They can just bring in anyone?"

Zhou Haoran said, "No qualifications are required. The purpose of 'Everyone's Art' is to showcase the characteristics of 'everyone.' Not only are the contestants from all backgrounds diverse, but the judges are as well. Directors, actors, singers, dancers, university professors, writers, entrepreneurs—Fan Zhiyi from Shenhua is quite popular lately, so we can invite him to be a judge."

Zhan Yushan asked, "Why not use a fixed panel of judges?"

“Having regular judges means you're doing a job, and that requires a hefty invitation fee—hundreds of thousands might not even be enough. Finding these temporary guest judges just requires paying them travel expenses.” Zhou Haoran had a vision far ahead of his time, much better than Zhan Yushan. “The appeal of ‘Everyone’s Art Up’ isn’t just the contestants on stage, but also the judges offstage. The judges’ reactions offstage are often more captivating than the contestants on stage!”

Looking at the busy staff on site, Zhan Yushan remarked with emotion: "They have a strong spirit of reform, are dynamic, and innovative."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Then you should give me more support!"

Zhan Yushan retorted angrily, "Haven't I given you enough support?"

"I'm not asking for benefits for nothing."

Zhou Haoran looked serious.

"Ok?"

Zhan Yushan raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Haoran said, "The creative team for 'Everyone's Art Up' will have three big names: the executive producer, the director, and the producer. The executive producer is Hu Xiaochen, and the directors are Hu Xiaochen and Dong Lan. Right now, we're still missing a producer."

Zhan Yushan's heart stirred slightly. The producer is the representative of the production company… the production company for a television program is the television station. Since "Everyone's Artistic Achievements" airs on the lifestyle channel, the chief producer should be the director, Song Yongjun.

If Zhan Yushan hadn't come, he probably would have just acquiesced.

Seeing this on site, "Everyone's Artistic Awakening" is truly extraordinary!
It's completely different from regular TV programs.

Being named the chief producer of this program is quite appealing.

Seeing that he was tempted, Zhou Haoran said firmly, "Anyway, I can't give up this position to Song Yongjun. It's good enough if he doesn't hold me back! Look at all these cameras I have, I rented them all! All my precious funds have been spent on equipment."

"I'll think of something later."

After witnessing it firsthand, Zhan Yushan felt compelled to fully support "Everyone's Artistic Achievements." He thought the young man was truly talented, excelling at everything he did.

Zhou Haoran had already made an exchange of benefits, but that wasn't enough. He shamelessly added, "By the way, booth, there's something I need your help with."

"explain."

"You know He Jin from the HR department of the Lifestyle Channel, right?"

"Ah."

“Let’s promote her to deputy director.” Zhou Haoran said seriously, “She contributed a lot during the preparation of ‘Everyone’s Art’. Now she’s holding interviews every day to recruit for the program.”

“He Jin…”

Zhan Yushan thought for a moment.

Zhou Haoran said, "It's just a deputy director, it's just a matter of you saying a word! My deputy director was dismissed, and she was replaced, it's just an exchange."

Zhan Yushan couldn't agree on the spot, as that would disrupt the organization's order. Instead, he said, "Have you contacted the sponsors? It's a sponsorship fee of 150 million yuan, so let's not make any mistakes."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It can't be wrong."

Zhan Yushan cautioned, "Song Yongjun might be conducting a thorough audit across the entire channel. We must make sure the sponsors are properly assisted."

"I know!"

"Which sponsor gave you so much money?"

“There are two in total.” Zhou Haoran glanced at him. “One is Narcissus Electric Appliances, which is a long-term partner of mine. I’ve signed several large sales contracts with Narcissus Electric Appliances.”

Zhan Yushan's eyes lit up. "The main sponsor of the 'Youth Host Competition'?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Yes, it's them. They sponsored the 'Youth Host Competition' with 100 million yuan and 'Everyone's Art' with 50 yuan."

Zhan Yushan nodded. "What about the remaining 100 million?"

Zhou Haoran said, "It's a newly acquainted business partner, Nanji Ren."

"Nanji Ren." Zhan Yushan felt the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Then he remembered, his expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at him. "Nanji Ren?"

……

The recording has started.

The competition format was created by Zhou Haoran in imitation of "Avenue of Stars", but it also incorporated some elements from "The Voice of China" and "I Am a Singer".

This makes the competition format more comprehensive.

For example, there is off-site content.

What is the contestant's state like backstage?
The audience was so curious.

The show "Everyone's Art" will fill in the gaps, with a host who will conduct backstage interviews with the contestants, recording their nervousness and bold statements before going on stage, as well as their joy of victory and complaints about being eliminated after the show.

The host on stage should ideally be male.

A female host who is dignified and beautiful is not suitable for joking around, which would reduce the entertainment value.

Large-scale variety shows are mainly hosted by male hosts.

However, the competition format is divided into three categories.

Record separately.

After recording, a trial run and selection process will be conducted to choose the best category and establish it as the main format for "Everyone's Art Up".

Sitting on the judges' panel, Zhan Yushan got excited after only half an hour. "Haoran, your program... I think it's great! I have a feeling!"

"What premonition?"

Zhou Haoran smiled.

Zhan Yushan squinted and leaned closer to whisper to him, "I feel it will be even better than the 'Youth Host Competition'! It's so entertaining, and the interaction between the stage and the audience is so rich. I've never seen this kind of program format before, either domestically or internationally."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "That's right, it's original."

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Zhan Yushan looked at him intently.

Zhou Haoran asked, "What?"

"You never intended to do that 'Youth Host Competition' from the beginning, right? Whether it's the competition format or the model, 'Everyone's Artistic Achievements' has to be more outstanding. That's your goal!"

Zhan Yushan dared not underestimate this kid any longer; he felt a sense of being caught in a trap.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Watch the performance! Her name is Bai Panyang. She's the weather forecast host on the general channel. Later, you can give her a referral and have her host 'Everyone's Art'. She's perfect for it."
