The short Spring Festival holiday has passed in a flash, and the social animals have not enjoyed enough of the hard-earned vacation time, and will be forced to go back to the cubicle again.
Yang Xiao has never been so envious of Meng Yufan as she is now - she has to go to work! Why is my boyfriend still going to school and having winter and summer vacations!
However, Meng Yufan won't be able to relax for long. His vacation is only a few more days than Yang Xiao. On the tenth day of the new year, he will return to the team for training.
The coach said that this year, the team decided to give Meng Yufan the CBA draft spot and pushed him to the top. But in this draft, the doorway inside is far more simple than it appears on the surface.
Before getting to know Meng Yufan, Yang Xiao had no idea that there was a draft in basketball, so what to choose? Formed the men's basketball team 101, voted to determine the top 12, and finally made their debut to form the men's basketball team, and played the national tour
Should there be a fan club? Players only scold Tuanfan, diss other players from bullying their brother in the team, and don’t assist his brother in passing the ball; or mvp fans ridicule that other substitutes are foot-washing maids, all relying on brother’s milk group
"Hahahahaha..." After hearing Yang Xiao's guess, Meng Yufan couldn't help laughing. "Sister Xiaoxiao, you have been with Sister Tangtang for too long, but what you said is not wrong."
In sports competitions, it is very important to pay attention to the personal charm of the players. Fans are essentially no different from fans in the entertainment industry, and they will get angry for the players they support. Players play well, and their faces are bright; players make mistakes or sit on the bench. While they have to bear the contempt of other fans, they have to scold the coach and pig teammates in their hearts... Many straight men always laugh at star-chasing girls for being irrational, But why aren't they like that
"However, there is still a little difference between the basketball draft and the entertainment draft." Meng Yufan thought about it and explained, "We have to sign up first, and the registration is divided into three categories, one is for excellent college students from Cuba, and the other is for cba. Both categories are recommended for young players cultivated within the club; since last year, a third category has been added, that is, grassroots players who are well-known among the people. They have not been trained by a regular basketball team, but are motivated by their ability If you are confident, you can also sign up.”
Yang Xiao Tucao: "—Recommendation by a brokerage company and personal registration."
"Then we're going to go into a closed draft training camp and do high-intensity basketball training every day."
Yang Xiao continued to complain: "—The men's team draft also has to practice dancing and singing in the training camp."
"At the end, there will be rounds of competitions to determine the top players. This competition will be broadcast live online."
Yang Xiao: "...I don't want to complain anymore, your cba draft is obviously exactly the same as the routine of the entertainment industry draft!"
"No, there is one most important difference." Meng Yufan denied it seriously.
"Which point?"
"One hundred percent of the top picks in the entertainment industry can sign and debut." He said, "But the CBA draft is different. The top picks in the draft every year are not guaranteed to be favored by clubs."
"… what?"
Meng Yufan smiled lonely: "The competition in the basketball circle is too fierce. The CBA draft has been held for several times, but too few players can be signed every year. And most teams only choose players from their own youth teams. For example Of the 14 people selected last year, only 3 were from the CUBA, and the rest were the club's youth reserve."
After all, CBA is a commercial game. If you want to be signed, in addition to having far more ability than ordinary people, whether it has popularity and commercial value is also an important consideration for the club.
Many players are good at expressing themselves and have leadership qualities. Even if they are still studying, they already have a lot of fans. For example, Feng Xiang was like this. He played the CUBA, won the MVP, participated in the draft, and was promoted to the CBA all the way. .
Compared with Feng Xiang, Meng Yufan's ability is also very strong, but he lacks the "desire to express", does not like to be in the limelight, and does not like to express himself, which leads to a big difference in his popularity. Many clubs may He will be ignored and he will suffer in the draft.
When Yang laughed, he became anxious for him: "What should I do then?"
She knows better than anyone how much Meng Yufan attaches importance to basketball. If he loses, it will definitely deal a great blow to him.
Meng Yufan's mind is relaxed: "Unless there is really a variety show, like Sister Xiaoxiao you said, put on a basketball 101, so that I can get more attention - but this is impossible. Basketball games, in the end I still have to rely on my strength to speak, so I have to return to the team for extra training in advance, practice well, try to get this season's MVP, and let the club notice me!"
The coach has formulated a whole set of training plans for him, and even if other students rest on weekends, he has to train more.
Every winter, there will be strong winds in Hwaseong, often reaching 4 or 5. The coach asked him to carry a wind resistance device similar to a small parachute and run laps against the wind in the strong wind. He ran ahead, the howling wind blowing the "parachute" behind him into a bulging hemisphere, sweating down with every step he took. After two laps, the tracksuit on his body was completely soaked from the inside out.
On days with little wind, he would go back to the indoor training ground and put on an anti-oxidant mask to train.
The antioxidant mask looks like a gas mask, but its function is to reduce the entry of oxygen into the lungs, forcing the lungs to accelerate expansion and contraction, so as to achieve the effect of exercising cardiopulmonary function. This is the first time Meng Yufan has put on an anti-oxidant mask. He felt as if he was thrown onto a plateau in an instant. Even though he tried to breathe, he still felt that his entire chest was suffocated. He couldn't breathe at all, and his temples swelled pain.
At first he put on the anti-oxidant mask, and he had to stop and rest after a few minutes of training. But gradually, he persisted for longer and longer, wearing an antioxidant mask to run, punch, dribble, shoot...
Yang Xiao once went to pick him up at his school and saw him lying on the ground wearing only the lightest basketball uniform and an anti-oxidant mask in the winter, as if he had just been fished out of the water... She felt distressed. to no avail.
But she never said to him "it's too hard, stop and rest for a while", because she knows that there are no shortcuts to every road to success.
…
"Sister Yang!" In the office, Liu Yueyue propped her upper body up on the grid, poked her head like a climbing tiger, and asked curiously, "The new version of our show is about to be recorded, but I haven't heard it yet. Said that there is a big boss who is going to send us to bring us, have you heard any news?"
After more than a month of adjustment and revision, their "Midnight Heart" is finally going to meet the audience again!
New program, new format. The newly revised version of "Midnight Heart" abandoned the form of "interview with guests on stage and audience interaction under the stage", boldly seeking innovation, relying on the Internet, and began to try to interact with young audiences online.
The planning case that Yang Xiao had written before was her treasured sword at the bottom of the box. As soon as it was submitted, it was quickly reviewed and approved by the channel director. Reported layer by layer and approved layer by layer, Yang Xiao was already mentally prepared for the worst. He guessed that he might have to go back and forth to revise it four or five times. Who would have thought that the newly appointed director would be very fast, and he would immediately Modifications approved!
So, less than a month after the Spring Festival, their new program will meet you!
But it is very strange that even though new shows are coming, the channel has not sent a new producer to take over them.
The producer is the core leader of the entire program. How can he start work when he is not there
There are few people in their show team, and they have been discussing this matter privately during this time. Liu Yueyue was bolder than everyone else. She firmly believed that Yang Xiao must have some inside information, so she couldn't hold back and ran over to ask.
"Can I have any inside information?" Yang Xiao said helplessly, "I, like you, are also waiting for the new leader to arrive. I don't know whether the new leader is male or female, round or flat. The two Huang Laos are evil."
"Sister Yang, we are so familiar with each other, so don't be sloppy in front of me!" Liu Yueyue lowered her voice sneakily and whispered, "I was having dinner with my intern friends in the personnel department, and I heard people talking about it. , said the channel director didn't want to send us a producer, and planned to send you—"
She made a weird gesture, her index finger soared to the sky, and she pushed it upwards.
Yang Xiao didn't understand it at first, but Liu Yueyue hurriedly repeated the gesture several times, and Yang Xiao suddenly understood.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Xiao shook his head again and again, "I'm only 26 years old after the new year, which show producer do you think is under the age of 30? And I've only been working for a few years, and there are so many seniors in the stage, so what happens? Not mine."
"I don't have a producer, but I can have an associate producer!" Liu Yueyue blinked, "We're not a big show, there are five people in total. If it's a big show with dozens of people, then the producer must choose an age. Big and experienced. For a small program like ours, we don’t bother the director to tune it from another channel, we elect and digest internally—”
"Stop." Yang Xiao opened a lollipop and put it in her mouth, "Don't give me ecstasy soup. The director's idea is not something we can guess, so let's wait for the new producer to come. "
After Yang Xiao taught Liu Yueyue a lesson, she continued to work on the work in front of her.
The show is about to start filming, she has to invite guests, determine the script, coordinate the time of the film crew and the studio... She is so busy that she really has no time to daydream.
When she was about to get off work, she was still working on the last document, when suddenly, the intercom phone on the desk rang.
She didn't even look at who was calling, she just picked it up, put it between her shoulders and ears, and typed on the keyboard with her hands.
"Hello, this is Yang Xiao from "Midnight Heart"."
"Yang Xiao, this is the channel director's secretary room." A sweet female voice came from the phone, "Director, please come over."
"..." Yang Xiao's hand stopped, "Is there anything the director wants to do with me?"
"The specifics are not clear, it seems to be about your program producers."
Yang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Liu Yueyue, who was on the opposite side. Damn, this little girl won't jump to the prophet, right
She immediately packed her things and went straight to the director's office.
Their variety channel has a total of three directors, one positive and two deputy, and it is the positive director who is looking for Yang Xiao this time.
The director is in his fifties this year. Before the last incident, Yang Xiao had never dealt with him again except seeing him speak at the channel conference at the end of each year. Unexpectedly, in just a month, they actually met again.
In the director's office, the director is sitting in the boss chair, frowning slightly, holding a document in his hand and looking down at it.
Yang Xiao stood upright across the desk, thankful that he was wearing the most comfortable pair of high heels today.
"Yang Xiao, isn't it?" The director finally raised his hand from the document, "You wrote the revision plan for "Midnight Heart"?"
"Yes." Yang Xiao said quickly.
"The little girl has a lot of ideas." The director praised, "Your program is about to record the first episode, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"There is no difficulty." Yang Xiao shook his head, "Because the new producer has not been appointed, the colleagues in the group are a little unsure."
The producer of the program is the leader, and it is the "general direction" of the program. Their program is a weekly program, and it has already aired more than 200 episodes. They have already been on the track. As long as the track is fine, they will not lose their way. Their team can continue to work in the absence of producers, but if there are producers, they will have the backbone. Everyone still hopes to have a navigator to lead everyone forward.
"Speaking of the producer—" The director smiled, put the document in his hand on the table, and pushed it down in front of Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao looked down, even though she was mentally prepared in advance, when she read the words on the document clearly, her heart stopped beating involuntarily.
That's an appointment letter! It is clearly stated above that Yang Xiao should be promoted to the associate producer of "Midnight Heart"!
Twenty-six year old producer! Even with a subtitle, even if there are only four people under her, this is the only honor in their channel!
It is conceivable what kind of uproar will be ushered in when this letter of appointment is announced.
Director Yoyo said: "You must know that at the end of last year, the new director took office, cut down a lot of programs, and established many new programs at the same time. Now there is a shortage of excellent producers, and there is no free production in the channel and on the stage. people."
Therefore, the channel decided to promote Yang Xiao and give her this chance to be in the top position.
Yang Xiao didn't know whether to say she was happy or surprised. Before today, she really never thought that such a pie would fall in front of her.
She stretched out her hand in a daze, wanting to take the letter of appointment—
At this moment, another document appeared in front of her.
The two documents were placed side by side, the same simple single-page paper, also signed with the name of the leader of the stage and stamped with the channel's seal.
The difference is that the first document is a promotion and the second document is a transfer order—
Hwaseong TV's satellite channel noticed Yang Xiao's excellent performance, and now there is a new program on satellite TV that is in urgent need of a director, and is going to transfer her to satellite TV across channels!
And this new program is the highlight of the second quarter of this year. It has the most powerful resources, the best team, the best time period... Almost one-third of the channel's power is concentrated on this program.
The director of Variety Channel's eyes fell deeply on Yang Xiao.
And Yang Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the two documents in front of him.
Is it to stay in the original channel and become the producer of a five-person mini-show? Or enter satellite TV and become the director of a hundred-person show
At the age of 26, it is particularly difficult to be promoted to a producer; at the same age, it is also rare to be able to participate in the production of satellite TV gold medal projects.
The former is a real salary increase, a glittering title on a business card, and a respected team leader; the latter is hard work and overtime, but can learn more skills on a larger platform, improve own abilities…
For a time, Yang Xiao fell into a dilemma.
The most important thing is that the new version of "Midnight Heart" was repaired by her own hands. She wants to see it on the right track more than anyone else. If she leaves now and invests in an unknown new column, she is really reluctant.
But the opportunity to enter satellite TV is too rare...
She swings, is the leader of the small show? Or the screw of the big show
The director did not rush her, because he also knew that such an opportunity would be very difficult for any employee to choose.
"Director," Yang Xiao asked softly, "May I know, what kind of show is Satellite TV planning to do? Is it for marriage and love? Is it for outdoor games? Reality show? Or... ?"
"Neither." The director shook his head, "This new show has a high level of secrecy, and I only heard a little bit of news—it seems to be a basketball draft variety show. To be honest, no one has done this show before, so what exactly can it do? , we don't know, if you really can't decide, take both back, as long as next week... "
"—I've chosen."
"…?"
"I've made my choice." The girl, with her hands full, picked up the satellite TV's order, and then looked up at the director behind the table. Her voice was clear and without hesitation, "I go to satellite TV, and I choose basketball variety shows."
Isn't it just angering the crown for Lanyan, she can do it!
