Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

Lu Qiaochuan pondered for a moment before replying, "Is it fear of being the guest overshadowing the host?"

“Of course not,” Huang Yanwu interjected. “We are very confident in the quality of the gala.”

"It's to give everyone some personal time!" Zhou Shengchen said calmly. "You just said the party has been going on for almost four hours, does that mean your expected time is around four hours?"

“Not bad!” Huang Yanwu nodded.

Zhou Shengchen continued, "Four hours is a long time, and some people will inevitably need to go to the bathroom in the middle. Galas like these are usually very tightly scheduled, and people generally try to stay until the middle of the performance before going to the bathroom. However, if the show is too exciting, people will choose to hold it in until the end of the show. If that happens, the next award will be lost."

Zhong Bai and the others nodded in understanding.

"You know a lot about this?" Huang Yanwu asked in surprise.

"So-so!" Zhou Shengchen said modestly.

In his previous life, he worked in the publicity department of a media university. Although there was no such thing as a May commemoration, there were similar activities, so he still knew a little about it.

Then Zhou Shengchen added, "Actually, many long galas are designed this way. They put together a very bland program that basically no one wants to watch, so that everyone has time to deal with their personal issues."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Just then, someone shouted from below, "Deputy Minister, the boxed lunches are here!"

Ren Yifan was shocked upon hearing this: "Holy crap! They actually have food!"

Zhong Bai quickly looked at Zhou Shengchen: "President, they have food to eat!"

Lu Qiaochuan also looked at Zhou Shengchen: "President Zhou, what do you say?"

Zhou Shengchen pulled out his black card and waved it: "Let's all go out for seafood tonight, it's on me."

"Long live the president!"

Lu Qiaochuan and the other two said in unison.

“Shuci, go too!” Zhou Shengchen then looked at Li Shuci, who was standing to the side.

"Can, is it okay?"

"of course!"

Xiao Haiyang, who was standing nearby, said with a smile, "That's dinner. You probably haven't had lunch yet, right? Why don't you eat here? We usually order a few extra boxed meals anyway."

Zhou Shengchen and the others did not refuse.

"Is no one going to get the boxed lunches?" Deputy Minister Huang Yanwu looked at the people below and, seeing no one respond, said, "Never mind, I'll go get them!"

“Me too, me too!” Zhong Bai exclaimed excitedly, trying to pull Ren Yifan along with him.

But Ren Yifan was leering at Wang Ying, a sophomore on stage, and dodged Zhong Bai's hand, saying, "I have a new target. You take the place of two men, so you can go by yourself!"

After saying that, he tidied his appearance and went over to strike up a conversation.

Left with no other choice, Zhong Bai had to drag Li Shuci along.

Only Zhou Shengchen, Xiao Haiyang, Lu Qiaochuan, An Jie, and Bi Shisan, who kept staring at the vicinity of the stage, remained in place.

"Hey! How about we go to the last row?" Xiao Haiyang suggested.

Zhou Shengchen and Lu Qiaochuan nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at Bi Shisan, who was still standing motionless, Xiao Haiyang said meaningfully, "The last row is more convenient for finding people."

Bi Shisan nodded thoughtfully, then turned and started walking.

.........

In the last row of the auditorium, Zhou Shengchen and others watched as the publicity department staff set up the venue.

Xiao Haiyang proudly boasted, "Not bad, right?"

Lu Qiaochuan: "Spectacular!"

Bi Shisan sighed softly, "Spectacular! But it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Shengchen said, "It's alright!"

Xiao Haiyang said helplessly to Zhou Shengchen and the other two, "Please think about it again! I sincerely invite you to come!"

"I'm very busy, I don't have time," Zhou Shengchen politely declined.

Xiao Haiyang's lips twitched slightly: "Next time, can we come up with a better excuse?"

Zhou Shengchen said "Oh," and then added, "I have to be with my girlfriend, is that reason enough?"

"That's enough!" Xiao Haiyang said speechlessly.

Just then, Bi Shisan suddenly pointed at the stage and asked, "What does Gu Yixin do?"

The group looked in the direction he pointed and immediately saw Gu Yixin and other members of the publicity department moving chairs, balloons, and other items to the vicinity of the stage.

Xiao Haiyang replied, "This time she is in charge of all the sound equipment."

Just then, someone on the other side of the stage said that the microphone was connected, but there was no sound.

Xiao Haiyang immediately said to Bi Shisan, "For example, this should actually be under her jurisdiction."

"I'll fix it!"

With a serious expression, Bi Shisan finished speaking and then left.

Watching him walk away, Zhou Shengchen asked, "By the way, is Gu Yixin dating anyone now?"

Lu Qiaochuan shook his head: "I don't know! But I've never seen her paired with any guy before, so I don't think she is!"

Xiao Haiyang stroked his chin and said, "When we were in the publicity department, I saw Pan Zhen try to chat her up several times, but she didn't seem to pay much attention to him. As for the other guys, they were just doing business with each other, and there didn't seem to be any particularly close interactions."

"Speaking of which, you didn't happen to have feelings for her like Thirteen, did you?" Lu Qiaochuan looked at Zhou Shengchen teasingly. "I remember she used to like you!"

Chapter 180 Anjie: Nurturing the Next Generation for You

Zhou Shengchen glanced at him: "There are plenty of women who like me. As for being attracted to Gu Yixin, if I may be so bold, she's not worthy of it."

"Awesome!" Xiao Haiyang gave a thumbs up, then suddenly blurted out, "I'm getting engaged soon."

"What did you just say?" Lu Qiaochuan thought he had misheard.

"I said, I'm getting engaged," Xiao Haiyang said again.

"Who is it?" Zhou Shengchen asked.

"Zhao Xixi." Xiao Haiyang uttered three words, and fearing the two wouldn't know who she was, he added, "She's my ex-girlfriend, and I've won her back."

"Congratulations!" said Luqiao-Chuandao.

"Congratulations!" Zhou Shengchen quickly followed up with his blessings.

"Thank you!" After saying thank you, Xiao Haiyang suddenly sighed, "Actually, I still have some worries."

"What are you worried about?" Lu Qiaochuan asked, puzzled.

Xiao Haiyang scratched his head and said, "She's actually several years older than me and has been working for several years."

"What's that?" Zhou Shengchen took out his phone and showed him several photos. "These are all my girlfriends. This one is Zhao Mosheng, she's older than me and has been working abroad for two years. This one is Jing Xiaoai, she's four years older than me and she's the boss of a company."

Xiao Haiyang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

“Isn’t this Jing?” Lu Qiaochuan said, pointing to Jing Xiaoai’s photo.

“Jing is my girlfriend’s distant cousin; they look somewhat alike,” Zhou Shengchen explained.

Lu Qiaochuan nodded in realization.

"You've got a lot of girlfriends!" Xiao Haiyang patted Zhou Shengchen's arm. "You used to say we were slandering you, what do you say now?"

Zhou Shengchen put away his phone, slapped his hand away, and said calmly, "That was just a random photo I took to fool you. What girlfriend? I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

Xiao Haiyang chuckled coldly: "Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?"

Lu Qiaochuan responded with a cold laugh: "Don't deny it, we won't tell anyone."

"I didn't deny it, I just don't understand what you're saying," Zhou Shengchen said, feigning ignorance.

"Let him deny it then!" Xiao Haiyang said. "I still want to thank Zhou Shengchen for your explanation. By the way, do you guys think San'er can catch up with Gu Yixin?"

Zhou Shengchen: "I don't think I can catch up."

Lu Qiaochuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's probably a bit risky."

"Actually, I also think it's a bit risky." Xiao Haiyang sighed and pointed to the stage. "Let's not talk about it anymore, let's watch Thirteen's performance!"

Then, the three of them saw Bi Shisan walking back and forth in front of Gu Yixin, but Gu Yixin didn't seem to see him at all, and was just chatting with someone next to her.

The sharp-eyed Zhou Shengchen noticed that the person she was chatting with was actually Pan Zhen.

"Sigh~" Xiao Haiyang looked at Bi Shisan on the stage and sighed deeply: "I can hardly watch anymore."

Lu Qiaochuan sighed, "It's so heartbreaking."

Just then, Zhong Bai, Li Shuci, and Ren Yifan walked over.

Upon hearing Lu Qiaochuan say "heartbreaking," Zhong Bai couldn't help but ask, "What heartbreaking?"

Zhou Shengchen pointed at Bi Shisan on the stage and said, "Didn't you notice that Shisan has circled around Yixin several times? But Yixin didn't even glance at him."

Zhong Bai: "It's really heartbreaking!"

After a while, Bi Shisan returned with Anjie, the girl with glasses.

Bi Shisan raised the microphone and said, "I just checked, and there's nothing wrong with the contacts. It's just that the battery is dead. This isn't the responsibility of the equipment guard."

Xiao Haiyang knew that Bi Shisan was trying to excuse Gu Yixin, but he still couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Bi Shisan's behavior just now.

"I know this isn't her fault, thank you so much!" Xiao Haiyang said, clasping his hands together and suppressing a smile.

"These are all minor matters!" Bi Shisan waved his hand, then changed the subject, saying, "But there's something I have to say. Your club's management is seriously flawed. A very small number of people are flirting with colleagues during work hours, completely ignoring everyone else. Just now, I deliberately walked around several times to test her, and she completely ignored me. If Anjie and I were thieves, the microphone would have been stolen long ago. Also, a very small number of people are flirting with colleagues during work hours. You should know that colleagues shouldn't have romantic feelings for each other; it's a major taboo in the workplace."

“It’s not that bad!” Xiao Haiyang replied.

You have to understand, this is a university club, not a workplace, so there are no rules against colleagues dating.

Moreover, even in the workplace, it's only in certain niche jobs that there are rules against colleagues dating.

"Would you like me?" Seeing that Xiao Haiyang didn't seem to care, Bi Shisan asked An Jie, who was standing next to him, wanting to give Xiao Haiyang a demonstration.

Anjie pushed up her black-rimmed glasses.
