His cell phone suddenly rang. He was still asleep, so he was shocked and woke up.
His wife, who was beside him, found it noisy and moved closer to the bed. She leaned against the bed and hugged her head with her arms as she continued sleeping.
Guixin rubbed his eyes and rubbed his face while touching his phone.
He stood up and left the bedroom with a pained expression on his face. By the time he left the bedroom, he was already more than half awake.
He looked at the caller ID on his phone. It was Xiangtao.
Guixin’s heart skipped a beat. If Xiangtao called him at this time, it must not be anything good.
Guixin took a deep breath and picked up the phone. “What’s wrong?”
“Director, there are clips of Jiang Xun’s first match all over the internet,” Xiangtao said. “And Chen Shuxiao’s management company directly posted the privately recorded footage of the first round of the competition on Weibo. It wasn’t Chen Shuxiao who posted it, but her management company and manager. This means that her company is supporting her. I’m afraid..
Just their production team alone was no match for Shuxiao’s management company.
Furthermore, Xingke Station had many collaborations with Shuxiao’s management company.
Even Xingke Station was unwilling to fall out with the company.
“I didn’t expect Chen Shuxiao’s company to support her so much,” Xiangtao said.
“Where did she get the video?” Guixin was stunned for a moment. “Is there a mole in our production team?”
“No, her footage is about her rehearsal. Chen Shuxiao didn’t act very well. It was Jiang Xun who brought Chen Shuxiao into the role, getting her acting skills to explode,” Xiangtao explained. “Chen Shuxiao laughed and said that she was afraid that she would forget that feeling when she went back, so she wanted to copy the video of Jiang Xun rehearsing with her and practice using it. If she couldn’t get into the act, she would watch Jiang Xun’s performance.”
“At that time, her manager came over personally and said that even the boss of her management company came to ask. Our production team had no choice but to give her face, but we didn’t give her much. At that time, they had also promised that they would never leak it, but who knew that it would be posted in the next moment,” Xiangtao said. “Now the netizens are scolding us for editing the behind-the-scenes video on purpose to cause misunderstandings among the netizens, making them think that Chen Shuxiao and Jiang Xun ganged up to bully Zhou Zhaodi.”
“Director, do you think we can sue Chen Shuxiao for releasing the video?” Xiangtao asked.
“Sue? How? They promised not to release it in order to not spoil our show. But now, our show has directly deleted all their scenes. It doesn’t involve spoiling it at all. They can release it however they want,” Guixin said unhappily. “Moreover, even if we can really sue them, do you think the station will be willing to? The station still has many collaborations with Chen Shuxiao’s company, so it’s impossible for them to fall out with Chen Shuxiao’s company just because of our show.”
Guixin let out a sigh. “I just thought that Chen Shuxiao’s company was only promoting her. I didn’t expect them to be so supportive.”
How unlucky!
“Later on, a large number of netizens posted the deleted footage of Jiang Xun’s group in the first round of the competition. All the netizens scolded our production team, including Zhang Lun and Liang Chengbing.”
Guixin pinched the corners of his eyes, feeling a headache and frustration.
Why was it so difficult to do work now!
“Get everyone to gather at the station!” Guixin couldn’t think of a good solution now, so he could only gather everyone and think of a solution together.
Guixin hurriedly washed up, took a milk carton from the refrigerator, took a packet of toast, and quickly went out.
He chewed on his toast as he drove and took advantage of the red light to drink a few mouthfuls of milk.
Because he woke up too early and was in a bad mood, drinking milk and eating bread tasted like chewing wax. There was no taste at all, and he even felt a little nauseous.
On the way, Guixin received a call from the station head.
Seeing the caller ID on the phone screen, Guixin’s heart sank.
He had no choice but to put on his earphones and pick up the call. “Station
Head.’
“What’s going on online?!” The station head questioned angrily, “Things have been going on since the start of your program’s recording. Now, the entire Internet is scolding you for the premiere! Do you still want to broadcast the remaining episodes!”
“I didn’t expect this either.” Guixin explained helplessly, “Jiang Xun didn’t cooperate with us when we were recording the show and kept causing trouble. We couldn’t cut out her parts for broadcast, so we could only delete her scenes. However, if we deleted her parts, we would definitely have to delete her opponents’s parts since they were in the same group. We had wanted to delete it quietly so that the audience wouldn’t notice that she wasn’t there. Who knew that the netizens wouldn’t let it go? Some netizens even leaked information, which is causing concerns. If we didn’t do anything, it would probably affect the show’s reputation and the subsequent broadcast. Who knew…”
“Who knew? Who knew?” The station head said angrily, “Why couldn’t you film the show properly? Previously, because of Lu Man, a few directors had to go. Even though you were still a newcomer at that time, you were still a spectator, so why didn’t you learn your lesson!”
Guixin was speechless.
Wasn’t he not comparing Jiang Xun and Lu Man together?
“Jiang Xun has Qin Mufeng’s support. Do you think she’ll be afraid of a show like yours?” The station head said, “That Zhang Qiyao has stood on Jiang Xun’s side more than once! She’s also from a wealthy family. Do you think she’ll be afraid? Even before her background was exposed, she had been so arrogant since her debut. No one had done anything to her, which was already very clear. Why are you so stupid! Why can’t you learn to film a show properly? Even if you wanted to create conflict, you could just wait to do it during the post-production! I saw the video your production team posted yesterday. Wasn’t the editing skill quite good?”
Guixin was speechless.
“You better settle this properly!” The station head warned. “Otherwise, I’ll give you two options. You could either resign or be demoted to an assistant director and learn how to shoot a show from other directors!” Guixin was speechless.
He didn’t want to choose either of these two options.
If he didn’t resolve the matter properly and resigned under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to find another job.
As for being demoted to assistant director, he couldn’t afford to lose face!
The station head hung up the phone angrily without saying goodbye.
When Guixin arrived at the station, the other colleagues arrived at different times because of the distance.
After waiting for another half an hour or so, everyone had arrived.
However, everyone continued to discuss until it was time to go to work. Even when the people from the other departments of the station arrived, they still did not come to a conclusion.
Guixin then contacted the public relations department, and Kailai felt a headache when he saw Guixin..
