Chapter 90 Director Yang's Visit
While the students of Longyuan Town High School were enjoying the romance of the flower season in Longyuan Town, Director Yang outside the school was not so comfortable.
"Achoo! Achoo~" Director Yang sneezed countless times on his way from the ferry to the town government in Longyuan Town today.
His whole face turned red. He had never known he was allergic to pollen before; he'd witnessed it firsthand today.
On the advice of the officials in Longyuan Town, I took anti-allergy medication and felt a little better.
As a result of all this trouble, his camera crew was wiped out. According to the production assistant, the group was so impressed by the scenery when they arrived.
They didn't care about the director's life or death and started filming on their own. Oh well, let them be!
He also needed to discuss some things with Yufei. Every year, Longyuan Town always gave him a breathtaking spectacle, and this year's flower season was even more magnificent than last year's.
This will also be helpful for the matters he and Yufei discussed today; in recent years, their television station has gradually gained a dominant position.
This was largely thanks to Yufei's step-by-step guidance, which helped their TV station find its own style. Over the past decade, their talent show ratings have improved year after year.
At the same time, they also produced a TV series competition, providing viewers with many excellent programs.
Last summer, Yufei mentioned something about outdoor variety shows to him, and he's been thinking about the feasibility of such shows in his spare time lately.
This summer he put together a lucky challenge show, which achieved good ratings, but he always felt something was missing.
He felt that Yufei might have a better idea, so he took advantage of the invitation from the Longyuan Town government to promote their town and sought advice from Yufei.
This time, he came with great sincerity again. As usual, he applied to the station in advance for 10% of the advertising profits from his new program to give to Yufei.
For most people, this would be unthinkable, but when Director Yang applied for Yufei's help, the station director approved it without hesitation.
Over the years, Yufei has brought them so many hit shows, such as "Happy 5+1," "Three Days Two Nights," "X_man," "Who is the Spy," "The Strongest Brainstorm," "Variety Cosplay Show," and "The Strongest Voice," all of which are currently among the top-rated programs in DaXia, second only to DaXia's No.1 TV station's "News Broadcast."
They've far surpassed the viewership of some other television stations of the same level, and now many households only watch their channel on their TVs, feeling that other stations are lacking in quality.
Half of this success is thanks to Yufei's advice and the programs she participated in. How many directors at the station want to work with her now? They just don't know how.
Therefore, as long as they could cooperate with Yufei, the station leaders were still willing to pay a certain price! So, after Director Yang's allergic reaction subsided, he ignored the group of cameramen who had already let loose and headed towards Yufei's house.
"Knock, knock, knock... Is anyone home?" Director Yang's real name was Yang Yong'an. He had originally gone to the school to find Yufei, but the town leaders had told him that the school security wouldn't let anyone in at this time.
He had no choice but to go to Yufei's house first and wait for her to get out of school. As for his group of cameramen, who cares? They don't care about him anyway, so why should he care? They'll go back to their hotel later that night; he doesn't need to worry about them.
"Coming, coming!" A strong male voice rang out from inside, and the door opened shortly after. Grandpa Yufei was home today. He didn't have much work to do these days; he just needed to perform routine maintenance on the machinery inside the hydroelectric power station.
Very soon! So now Grandpa Yufei is particularly free. Grandpa Yufei recognized the person who came in from outside! So he spoke up.
"It's Director Yang?! What a rare guest! Come, come, come in and have a seat!" Grandpa Yufei warmly welcomed Yang Yong'an into his home.
Waiting for Yufei to come home from school, it was 9 pm when Yufei returned. Director Yang and Yufei's grandfather were engrossed in a fierce game of chess, oblivious to the passage of time.
Even when Yufei returned and greeted him, she didn't hear her. Yufei saw it was Director Yang and knew his purpose for coming. She first put her backpack in her bedroom and then quietly waited for their game to end.
Fortunately, it didn't last long. After only a few rounds, Director Yang was defeated and praised Yufei's grandfather for his skill and leadership. Yufei's grandfather humbly replied, "Not at all."
After exchanging compliments for a while, they remembered what had happened here, leaving Yufei speechless. They really shouldn't have waited for Uncle Yang; wouldn't it have been better to just take a bath and go to sleep?
"Oh! Playing chess with Old Liu is such a pleasure, I almost forgot the real reason I came here," Yang Yong'an said apologetically to Yufei.
As expected, media people know the art of speaking; how can Yufei maintain her pride after hearing that?! Yufei went straight to the point...
"Alright, Uncle Yang, I know how amazing my grandfather is. No need for your praise, everyone in Longyuan Town knows that! ~o＞_＜o Uncle Yang, you definitely didn't just come here to play against my grandfather, did you?"
Yufei offered her words, and Director Yang naturally followed suit.
"Of course, playing against Uncle Liu is one of my wishes. Another one is the outdoor variety show that you mentioned last year, which I am very curious about. As you know, I produced 'Happy Challenge' this year based on your suggestion. But I feel that your ideas are not limited to this, so I would like to see your thoughts."
Director Yang said apologetically, while also indicating that the station would still pay Yufei the same price as before. He added that regarding Yufei's current shares in Junlin Company...
Even if the 10% commission offered by Fruit TV was only a small amount, Yufei wasn't interested in the monetary benefits; what she valued was the network of connections she had with the TV station.
If Longyuan Town wants to grow and become stronger in the future, it will definitely need publicity, especially Hunan TV. Even without Yufei's interference in the previous life, Hunan TV was one of the top-ranked TV stations in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
It's just that in this life, because of Yufei's intervention, Hunan TV became popular much earlier. Yufei thought about it and combined it with many of the top variety shows from her previous life.
Yufei still chose the outdoor variety show that was the first one she had ever picked on Fruit Channel, and explained to Director Yang that it was an outdoor variety show about fathers taking their children to survive in an unfamiliar place for three months.
Yufei had already determined the main theme, and then she explained the variety show to Uncle Yang in detail. Yang Yong'an listened attentively to Yufei's description, and related images were already appearing in his mind.
Many variety shows are sometimes just missing that one crucial element, as Yufei mentioned regarding outdoor variety shows featuring fathers and children.
Yang Yong'an was flooded with inspiration related to this, and he jotted it down in his notebook, along with Yufei's suggestions.
