When Zhou Xiaomei came to the television station again today, she thought that she would still be chased away by the security guards. She did not expect to be let in. She was stunned and nervous as she came to the general manager's office.
In fact, she cherished this job very much. Eight years ago, her parents divorced, and she lived with her mother, brother, and sister. Only her mother could earn money in the family. Life was very difficult. In the past, he bought fishballs with his mother. His income was very low and he had to make ends meet.
Two years ago, he came to the television station and had a stable job. The salary wasn't too high, but at least he could eat his fill. The reason why he participated in the strike this time was because he was muddle-headed. He was originally soft-hearted and not good with words. He was too embarrassed to refuse if he was tricked.
She did not expect to lose her job so quickly. She did not dare to tell her family these days, afraid that they would worry. She came to the television station every day, hoping that she would have a chance to get back her job. She did not expect that the opportunity would indeed come.
Seeing Zhou Xiaomei walk in with her head lowered and looking a little scared, Jolly could only speak first,"Alright, since I let you in, it means that I won't chase you away. There's no need to be so afraid! Have a seat."
Hearing Joly's words, Zhou Xiaomei finally had the courage to raise her head. However, she did not sit down. Instead, she said,"I'm sorry, President Qiao. I was muddle-headed last time. I hope you can forgive me this once."
"Forget it, let the past be the past. I'll help you with the recruitment procedures later. There's not much people in the station now, and you're already very familiar with the television station.”
Although Li Dan still had the position of secretary, she was basically the second-in-command. She was busy all day, so Joly didn't have a secretary for the time being. Coincidentally, Zhou Xiaomei was an old employee, so she should be able to take over.
"Will it work? I'm afraid I won't do well. I've never done it before.”
"It's okay. There's not much to do now anyway. You should familiarize yourself with it first.”
To be honest, Jolly did not have any improper thoughts about this Little Sister Zhou. Then, he called Li Dan over and asked the two of them to hand over the documents and help with the formalities.
There were only 69 people in total at the television station. Although the framework was still there, most of them were empty, so they needed to recruit some people. In addition, they needed to renovate and prepare at least three to five broadcasting studios.
There was also the lounge, dressing room, and office that needed to be renovated. At the very least, they couldn't look so down and out. Joly wouldn't be reluctant to spend money on the places that needed to be renovated. He could take advantage of the renovation to make the early preparations.
Firstly, the production team of the show needed to be established by Joly. Hong Kong was not a big place, but there were still many talents in this area. He did not want to find those professional people, so it was very simple.
In addition, the television station still needed to recruit some people, but there was no need to be in such a hurry. They had enough manpower for the time being, so they could take their time. Joly was prepared to carefully screen them for this recruitment.
After that, Joly found the list of actors. This was the first time Joly had the time to look at this. These people were quite capable. The television station had changed owners, but no one came to express their gratitude. It was as if nothing had happened. It could only be said that the hearts of the people were scattered. Although the television station had not been of much help to them, at least they had been paid a little salary every month.
It wasn't very kind of them to turn a blind eye to this. Of course, there were also problems with the television station's past practices. They had signed so many actors and actresses, but they couldn't provide the corresponding resources. They had to think of their own ways. It was indeed embarrassing.
When Joly saw the list, he was still very shocked because there were actually a few very popular actors here. If he didn't see this, he really wouldn't have known.
For example, the famous director, Xu Ke, the famous author, Yi Shu, Liang Fengyi, Lin Yanni, and the two Hong Kong girls, Sun Yongen and Mary Zhang, were really amazing.
There were also many actresses. The current popular Mi Rong was one of the top actresses in Hong Kong. There were also Wen Xin 'er, Yang Xin, Zheng Yuling, Qin Pei, Zeng Jiang, Liu Tan, and so on. They had heard of them in the future and were very famous now.
To be honest, with just these people, the television station was still in its current state. The leaders of the television station in the past were really stupid. However, it was too late to say anything now. Joly did not think that he had the ability to keep these people.
Since the television station did not even come forward to change owners, it meant that they had completely given up. Since that was the case, he should not hold onto their contract and not let it go. It would be a waste to be a villain. Just treat it as doing them a favor and find an opportunity to return these to them. Perhaps they might have a chance to work together in the future.
Of course, it would be perfect if he could persuade one or two people to stay. After all, the show still needed a host, and it was very troublesome to find someone. Of course, this was just a thought. It didn't matter if it didn't succeed. He could spend money to hire them.
The key lay in the production team. This was what Joly needed to worry about the most. Because it was a newly formed team, everything had to start from scratch. On the third floor of the television station, there was a relatively large broadcasting studio that had now become a training ground. They had not touched it during the renovation.
More than 30 production staff were already ready. There were no guests, no hosts, and no audience. These people were hired by Joly. They were all veterans of the set, and because they were inexperienced, they did not have a fixed job for the time being.
It was obvious from these people that Hong Kong movies would definitely develop very well in the next decade or so. This was because they were really serious and willing to suffer. In order to save money, they had not started recording. Everyone was just constantly researching, and today, they were going to start recording.
There were no actors, no guests, and no band. But it didn't matter. Everyone could make a cameo. There were no outsiders anyway. Besides, they were all in this industry, so they weren't afraid of losing face. This was already the fifth day of the running-in. Today, Joly was preparing to record a sample.
The first show that Joly had prepared was called " Happy Dictionary'. It was already a very popular show in the mainland in the future. The host was temporarily Joly's guest star. Everything was ready, and Joly had already stood in front of the host's desk.
The director had already started the countdown. The camera was already turned on. Accompanied by background music, Joly could be seen standing in the designated position. However, the lights were not turned on yet, giving off a mysterious and solemn feeling.
Joly was actually a little excited. It was a feeling that he hadn't felt in a long time. It wasn't like he hadn't seen such a scene in the future, but he had always appeared as a supporting character. This time, he was considered the main character.
Counting down to zero, the lights lit up, and the cameras took pictures of Joly from different angles and distances. The music began to become excited, then calmed down again. Finally, when the music disappeared, Joly began his first show.
" This is XXX's first award-winning question-and-answer program that gathers fun, puzzles, knowledge, tension, thrills, and humor. It's called 'Happy Dictionary'. I'm the host, Joly. First, I'll introduce the rules of the program…"
"Let's welcome our first guest, Wang Xiaoxiao.”This guest was of course one of their own. The guests who were already prepared began to go on stage, and the cameras began to follow. When the guests took their seats, they greeted each other briefly and got to the main topic.
"Hello, Xiaoxiao. Now, I still need to confirm if you are clear about the rules of our program?”
"Yes!"
"Alright, please listen to the questions. The first question is: The oldest flower city in the world was Chang 'an City during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were more than 3000 kinds of flowers. Do you know where Chang' an City is now? A, Shijiazhuang, B, Xi'an, C, Beijing.”
"B Xi'an."
"Congratulations on your correct answer. Now that you have accumulated 500 Hong Kong dollars in prize money, let's begin the second question: There were many different kinds of museum in the world. Which country was the Living Horse Museum located in? A Germany, B America, C France.”
"I'm not too sure about this. Can I ask for help?”
"Of course, but you should know that this is only the beginning. Are you sure you need help?”
"Yes,"
"Then please choose your method of seeking help. The first is to ask the audience in the studio for help. The second is to call your relatives and friends for help. The third is to ask us to remove a wrong answer.”
"The third one."
"Alright, then we will remove the wrong answer B. Now there are only two options left, A and C. Please choose your answer.”
"Yes... Then... I'll choose C. I think it's France.”
"Are you sure? It's not too late to regret now."
"Uh... Alright, I choose A."
"I'm sorry, the answer is wrong. The correct answer is C. As you have not reached the first stage of safety, you will not receive any prize money this time. However, it's okay. You will receive a memorial prize provided by XXX, XXXXXX (advertisement).”
The recording was about 10 minutes long. This was the first time it was recorded, so it was not that long. The tape was very expensive, so it was edited very quickly. Then everyone gathered together to watch.
It could be said to be perfect. The camera, lighting, and even the live music could be broadcast directly. Of course, it was not without flaws, but that was not important. It could be processed later.
Although it was only a short segment, it could still be seen that it was a high-quality program. In Hong Kong, it could be said to be the number one program. After all, this was an educational program, and the entertainment element was not that strong.
After some discussion, the program could be approved after a few more tries. Of course, the questions and answers needed for the program still needed to be polished. The difficulty level had to be grasped well.
Of course, the most important thing was the host. Perhaps Joly subconsciously thought that this was very suitable for a female host, so he didn't want to find a man to do this. This candidate also had some ideas.
That was when he was reading the information at home. There was indeed such a suitable actress among the actors signed by the television station. It was Wen Zaier. The people in the future might not know her very well because she had married and retired early.
However, Joly still knew a little. She was the actress who had played the most roles in the novels of Old Master Jin and Old Master Gu. She was also the first actress in history to play Wei Xiaobao. She had a little androgynous beauty and was very suitable for such a show. Her temperament matched well.
