Chapter 181 Kicked to the Iron Plate
Chapter 181 Kicked to the Iron Plate
Seeing that the advice was spot on, Assistant Cheng did not stay any longer.
I took a look around Big Goose Video and left.
After watching his car disappear at the intersection, Mr. Wang took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It was rare to see President Wang in such a state of alert, so several department heads asked curiously, "President Wang, who was that person just now..."
They only heard Mr. Wang address this Assistant Cheng and mentioned Mr. Mo. Could it be that he was the person they were thinking of?
Seeing what the others were thinking, Mr. Wang snorted coldly.
"What do you think?"
Apart from that person, whose assistant would he treat with such respect and awe?
Everyone was surprised and questions arose in their hearts at the same time.
What kind of wind could bring here the special assistant of President Mo?
Without waiting for them to ask, Mr. Wang walked into the building with a sullen face.
"Go, call the director of Who's the Ace to my office."
His tone was urgent and heavy, and it sounded like he was quite angry.
The head of the department in charge of variety shows was suddenly startled.
"Yes, Mr. Wang."
After saying that, he turned around and ran to his own department. That was not enough. He took out his cell phone, opened the address book, and called that disappointing subordinate.
Back in the office, Mr. Wang took the video he had just searched and started watching it.
To be honest, he looked at it for a long time and didn't think there was anything wrong.
So, I went online to look at the comments again.
Only then did I discover some clues.
Su Cheng, Ruan Tang?
Could it be that this matter is related to Actor Su and this newcomer?
As a senior figure in the circle, he had indeed heard some rumors recently.
It was said that there was a young man who seemed to be favored by Mr. Mo's side. He was as beautiful as a fairy and had completely fascinated Mr. Mo.
Could it be this new guy?
Mr. Wang clicked on the photo of Ruan Tang on his phone, enlarged it, and looked at it carefully.
Indeed, he has red lips, white teeth, jade-like skin, and especially those sparkling peach blossom eyes, which make him look romantic and affectionate.
Mr. Wang felt that he had seen the essence through the phenomenon.
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the office door.
The cautious voice of the director of "Who is the Ace" came from outside the door.
"Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?"
"come in."
Mr. Wang's voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.
But the director was not reassured.
Before coming here, he had already been scolded by his supervisor.
Taking a deep breath, the director slowly opened the door and walked into the office with his head down, like an elementary school student waiting to be scolded.
Although Mr. Wang was angry, he knew that the problem was not with him.
If it were me, a big movie star and a small newcomer, it would be obvious who the program editor would favor.
However, since President Mo had spoken, he still had to teach him a lesson.
"Xiao Zhou, how many episodes of "Who's the Ace" have you done?"
“It’s already six issues.”
Mr. Wang nodded. If a variety show can be produced for six episodes, it means the ratings are pretty good.
"But, in the latest episode, did you slack off? Why did you edit it like this?"
Director Zhou was stunned. The latest episode was the one that was broadcast last night.
But there was nothing wrong with that episode, and the ratings even hit a new high.
Seeing the confusion on his face, Mr. Wang pointed out: "Isn't your editing too biased towards Su Cheng?"
Hearing this, Director Zhou suddenly felt guilty.
He accepted a watch from Su Cheng, so when the program was edited, it was biased towards him.
But the time for a variety show is limited, so some people will definitely get more screen time and some will get less.
He asked himself if he had taken care of others as well.
He even gave a lot of highlight shots to the newcomers in the crew.
"But, Su Cheng is the best actor after all, so I..."
"So what if he's an award-winning actor? I think his sense of variety is not as good as that of the newcomers. We do variety shows for the effect of the show and for the ratings, not to curry favor with people."
"I...I understand. I will change it right away."
Director Zhou answered with fear and trepidation, while his mind started to race.
Newcomers...
Before he could figure it out, Mr. Wang continued, "No need. Your assistant will be in charge of this variety show for the time being. Go back and take a rest for a while!"
He waved his hand, signaling Director Zhou to leave.
Director Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss Wang, I planned this program. I was responsible for the entire six episodes. I have made great contributions, but I have worked hard. You want to replace me just because of a small mistake? Isn't that too much?"
Mr. Wang snorted coldly and looked at him disdainfully.
"Zhou Xu, how much benefit have you received privately through this program? Do you think I don't know?"
As soon as these words came out, Director Zhou's face immediately turned pale.
"Mr. Wang, listen to me..."
"I know what you want to say. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so I usually turn a blind eye. But Zhou Xu, if you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet."
"You think I'm harming you by handing the show over to someone else, but no, I'm helping you. You're unlucky this time and you've offended someone you shouldn't have. I can't protect you."
"Go down there and calm down for a while. Just treat it as training. When the boss up there calms down, I can transfer you back."
After all, Zhou Xu is young, and he has had a very smooth life over the years, so he has never experienced the twists and turns of the workplace.
After being subjected to such PUA, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only accept it silently.
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Wang."
After he left, President Wang specifically instructed the director of the variety show department to have his subordinates re-edit the program as soon as possible.
After editing, it will be sent to his office immediately. After confirming that there are no problems, the film source for the entire line will be replaced.
So, when netizens watched the variety show again, they found that it was completely different from what they had seen before.
"Oh my god, am I remembering correctly? These puzzles were all solved by Ruan Tang?"
"How dare someone say that our Tangtang recites lines like she's reciting a text? Her acting is so explosive that even Zhang Ting was stunned, okay?"
"Ruan Tang is a versatile person, he knows English, Morse code, and ASCII code. With this knowledge reserve, he must be a top student."
Except for the netizens who were watching the new variety show, they were shocked by Ruan Tang’s highlight moment.
Netizens who watched the show last night and rewatched it again also discovered some highlights.
"No, am I the only one who's feeling weird? Why does it feel different from what I saw last night?"
"You are not the only one upstairs. There was a problem with the previous version. The highlights that belonged to Ruan Tang were edited and given to Su Cheng by the program."
"I just felt that Su Cheng's tone was wrong. When he was using the Morse code, it was clearly a question, as if he was questioning someone else's repetition of their words. When I watched the newly edited program, it was indeed like that."
"The second one, ASCII, is also the same. There is also the third one, decryption. It was also Ruan Tang who first proposed it, and then the others agreed."
"Oh my god, wasn't it too obvious that the production team had been pulling down the show before? But now they've re-edited it, are they finally finding their conscience?"
There's no need to feel guilty at all. Someone must have put pressure on him.
Internet star-chasers are deeply immersed in the routines of the entertainment industry.
Apart from the money circle that can make them bow their heads, conscience? What a joke, what is more important than ratings!
So, who is Ruan Tang’s backer?
Could it be that he is really a rich second generation?
