After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 460 Take action when it’s time to take action

Zhou Haoran did not tell the "Everyone's Art" program team about this.

Just keep things the way they are!

They're deliberately trying to sabotage the show to lower the ratings...

This is absolutely impossible!

The third episode aired as scheduled, and the ratings report once again shocked the entire Red Star TV station.

Rating 25.2%!

The harbor area was once again the most popular spot during that time!
The production team was filled with jubilation!
Dong Lan was a little worried and whispered, "Producer Zhou, let's go to the conference room. I want to talk to you alone for a few minutes."

"it is good."

Zhou Haoran went with her to the small house and closed the door.

Today, Dong Lan was wearing a gray, tight-fitting wool sweater, which accentuated her proud figure. The sight of the two of them alone in a room made Zhou Haoran unable to resist taking a few more glances.

"Stop looking, aren't all women like that?"

Dong Lan was somewhat distressed.

Now that the two are familiar with each other, Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "I'm just envious."

Dong Lan blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "If you keep this up, I'll go open the door. I have something important to report to you."

"Just kidding..." Zhou Haoran deliberately covered his eyes with his hands, "I'll talk to you with my eyes covered so I can concentrate better."

Dong Lan was at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

I thought to myself that this producer Zhou was incredibly capable and resourceful, but in the end, he was still just a young man who was not even twenty years old.

"Producer Zhou, I feel that the rhythm of our program is off."

Dong Lan spoke up about the problem she had discovered.

Zhou Haoran didn't actually cover his eyes, and asked, "What's the rhythm?"

Dong Lan said with great concern, "We have to produce an episode of 'Everyone's Art Up' every week, which is a huge workload. We have so many tapes, and so much post-production work to do. For the past month, our team has barely had a break, working more than ten hours a day. The workload is just too much!"

"Ah."

Zhou Haoran also witnessed it.

Dong Lan sighed and said, "Our program is different from other programs. Other programs can easily produce footage, and can even produce one episode every day. We can't do that. We have too many cameras, and we don't have a director to switch them in real time. This means that we have more than 60 hours of footage for each episode."

Zhou Haoran nodded, "We release one issue every week, so time is very tight."

Dong Lan said, "In the beginning, everyone was driven by enthusiasm and a sense of mission, and they were able to participate wholeheartedly and accept an extremely heavy workload. But this is not a long-term solution. After filming ten or twenty episodes, the initial enthusiasm will fade, and many people may become overwhelmed, which will lead to a decline in the quality of the program's content. This is our biggest hidden danger!"

Zhou Haoran said, "So, we still need to recruit more people. We need to fill the 200-person quota."

"Not very good."

Dong Lan shook her head.

"how?"

Zhou Haoran was puzzled.

Dong Lan said with disappointment, "The new people we recruited for the program basically know nothing, so our veteran employees have to mentor and teach them. Their workload is already overloaded, and they still have to mentor apprentices, which is unreasonable."

Zhou Haoran asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

“I don’t know.” Dong Lan was very worried. “The arrangement of airing one episode per week cannot be changed, so we need to transfer more experienced colleagues who are good at post-production from our unit.”

"That's not realistic..."

Zhou Haoran knew this was impossible.

Dong Lan actively advocated for it, saying, "It's possible. 'Everyone's Art Up' is so popular; I've been following it all this weekend. At least a dozen newspapers have reported on our program. The Harbor Evening News even did a special interview with the blind singer from the first episode. Our program has become a social topic. As long as we submit a report, we're sure to get the station's support. Why don't you go talk to Director Zhan?"

"not that simple."

Zhou Haoran waved his hand.

The biggest obstacle is Zhan Yushan!

He's busy with his power struggles and doesn't really want "Everyone's Artistic" to do well. He'd be overjoyed if the program ran into problems; why would he bother helping?

Dong Lan said somewhat angrily, "Anyway, I've already reported this to you. If this matter isn't dealt with, it'll cause problems sooner or later!"

Zhou Haoran hummed in agreement, his expression grave. "I'll think of a way."

Dong Lan wanted to say something more.

But when I thought about his age, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"By the way, I heard that Yi Changping is about to back down!"

Dong Lan then started talking about cheerful topics.

"Submit?"

Zhou Haoran thought of Lin Guiyan, who probably already gave in long ago.

Dong Lan chuckled and said, "For the past three episodes, 'Happy Family' has been competing with us, and the ratings have been terrible. This morning I heard that their production team had a meeting and decided to adjust the broadcast date of 'Happy Family' to Sunday night."

Zhou Haoran snorted, "Overestimating himself, he brought this on himself."

Dong Lan said, "Director Yi must be extremely stressed. To be honest, it's strange of him. He also came from the lifestyle channel, so why does he have to go head-to-head with me? Isn't this internal competition just internal friction? Isn't internal competition the most taboo thing in the station?"

Zhou Haoran didn't understand before, but now he really understands: "Both the Lifestyle Channel and the Entertainment Channel are managed by Zhan Yushan."

"The booth manager?" Dong Lan was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "Yes, why? The booth manager is in charge of both the lifestyle channel and the entertainment channel, why would he condone internal strife between the two?"

As she spoke, she became increasingly incredulous.

"If the two sides are competing against each other, no matter what happens, the final result will be that the ratings of 'Everyone's Art' and 'Happy Family' will be affected, which will not benefit anyone."

Dong Lan's eyes widened.

Zhou Haoran narrowed his eyes. "It was intentional."

"What do you mean?"

Dong Lan usually just worked on the program and was completely unaware of the power struggles at the top, so she couldn't understand what Zhou Haoran was saying. Zhou Haoran sighed, "This matter must be resolved! Otherwise, it will keep happening and it won't end!"

Dong Lan thought he was referring to the current hidden dangers of "Everyone's Art" and agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, we must find a way to solve it. Such a good program as 'Everyone's Art' must be protected in every way."

"Editor-in-Chief Dong, I understand. I can come up with a plan within a few days!"

Zhou Haoran made up his mind.

He has already seen it clearly.

The person blocking his way was not Gu Hao, Song Yongjun, or Yi Changping, whom he had previously looked down upon as conservatives, but Zhan Yushan, a pioneering and progressive reformist!
“Producer Zhou, you don’t need to be under too much pressure. I believe the team can handle it for the next few months.”

Dong Lan was about to leave.

As soon as I stand up, my chest inevitably starts to sway.

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Dong Lan was speechless and said helplessly, "Producer Zhou, how could you... are you really that serious? Ren Panxia's breasts are bigger than mine, go look at hers!"

"Ren Panxia?"

Zhou Haoran was not familiar with most of the people in the program team.

Dong Lan said, "The one in the coordination team, she's skinny and has big breasts, just like in a comic book."

"Oh, her!" Zhou Haoran cleared his throat. "I don't know her."

Dong Lan chuckled and said, "You're all from the same production team, why don't you go and get to know them?"

"Isn't this inconvenient?" Zhou Haoran said a little embarrassed. "It would seem like I have ulterior motives. I'll just enjoy the view. How about you bring her along next time you give a work report?"

Dong Lan smiled enigmatically, "You really want to come to the workplace? You've got some nerve!"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Bring her along to give the report, and let's see whose breasts are bigger between you two."

"Huh?" Dong Lan widened her phoenix eyes. "Producer Zhou, are you trying to flirt with me?"

Zhou Haoran quickly replied, "No, no, absolutely not."

Dong Lan rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Alright, I'm going to feed the baby."

"Did you bring your child?"

"Yes, her grandma had something to do today and couldn't bring her. So I brought her to work."

"I gonna go see."

"I'm going to breastfeed the baby, what are you going to look at?"

Dong Lan stopped him with a cold look.

Zhou Haoran laughed.

The "Everyone's Art" program team has designed several mother and baby rooms to provide breastfeeding mothers with a better and more comfortable environment that allows them to balance their lives and work.

Nobody brings their child to work every day; that would be too tiring.

But there are always exceptions.

Like Dong Lan in this case, when the elders in her family who usually take care of the children have something to do and can no longer take care of the children, she has to find a way to take care of them herself. "Everyone's Art" provides such a convenient condition.

There are about seven or eight children in the mother and baby room.

The female colleagues in the program team take turns looking after him in their spare time.

It turned into an invisible daycare center.

……

Zhou Haoran went to find Song Yongjun.

"what's up?"

Song Yongjun sat behind his desk, exuding an imposing presence without being angry.

Zhou Haoran cut to the chase: "I've given you the automatic reconciliation mini-program, how's it going? Have you checked the accounts?"

Song Yongjun didn't trust him much and said coldly, "Who do you want to plead for?"

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "You think I look like a corrupt official?"

"picture."

Song Yongjun had noticed it early on: this kid was very rich, and all the clothes he wore were designer brands.

Zhou Haoran didn't sit down either, and said calmly, "Director Song, I'll treat you to dinner at Jin Baxian tonight."

"I'm busy."

Song Yongjun immediately refused.

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran was somewhat displeased.

Song Yongjun said in a deep voice, "You're right, that little software you gave me is indeed very useful. My men have already uncovered some clues. Now is a critical time, and no amount of pleading on our behalf will help!"

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "Director Song, you don't actually think you can get away with this little bit of evidence, do you? Strike while the iron is hot!"

"Ok?"

Song Yongjun was stunned for a moment.

"It's settled, 7 PM tonight at Jin Baxian, I'll be waiting for you! If you don't come, don't ever come looking for me again! Don't give me that nonsense! Corrupt official? Your whole family would be corrupt officials, it would never be me!"

Zhou Haoran spoke to him without any politeness.

Half threat, half insult.

Turned around and left.

Song Yongjun was left in a state of confusion.

What's that brat saying?
