under the spotlight

Chapter 2 Onboarding
The atmosphere in the office was a bit stagnant. Director Wu saw that Lu Beicen hadn't spoken for a long time, and continued: "This is your boss Li who is on a business trip. If he is at home, I'm afraid my desk will be overturned by him. That's it. My phone..."

Hearing Mr. Li's words, Lu Beicen took a breath and interrupted Director Wu's earnest words: "Uncle Wu, a senior said that the manuscripts I wrote and the films I made have no life, no fireworks, just It’s like a pavilion on the ground, I thought about it, and I think it makes sense, I’ve been patronizing my studies all these years, and I seem to be a bit out of tune with the society, I want to go to the real front line to hone my skills.”

This time, it was Director Wu's turn to be stunned by Lu Beicen's words, and it took him a long time to smile bitterly: "You young people, you want to talk about your feelings when you get hot in your head, tell me, this is all far-fetched If you are making a film here, why don’t you get in touch with people and things outside? Satellite TV has so many columns, it’s the news center, it’s okay, it’s all interviews on the front line, right? Uncle still says the same thing, you need to have a good eye Take the long run!"

At a certain moment of extreme embarrassment, Lu Beicen wanted to leave the special department of Satellite TV.Afterwards, it's not that she didn't think about leaving Zhongjiang TV Station altogether. In a culturally rich province like Zhongjiang, it's not very difficult for her to find another career.

But in a blink of an eye, I felt that I had done nothing wrong, so why did I leave the TV station?At least the current job is a career choice that she has longed for. Otherwise, why would she want to study a postgraduate degree in media as an undergraduate student in the Department of Chinese at B University?Why do you have to do everything possible to go to China TV station for an internship for so long?
In the first year of work, Lu Beicen is catching up with the [-]th anniversary celebration. From national TV station to local satellite TV station, there are piles of films to be made. From internship to work, there is no pause.

Last year, Lu Beicen was a newcomer, because of perforated appendicitis and emergency surgery by his teacher, she was chased by Mr. Li, who was once the head of her department and now the vice president of TV production, Li Jiantao. Acting as the main editor.

That film won the department's grand prize in the end, because Director Li took her there, but only her name was signed in the director column, which made her a talking point among the seniors, even though the rest of the film crew Everyone knew that she was the one who wrote the manuscript alone, but there was no such practice in the past. In the eyes of others, Li Jiantao's preference for her was put on the bright side, and he didn't even cover it up.

Lu Beicen always went his own way, although he felt a little wronged, but as a newcomer, he couldn't say a word about this kind of grievance in the office, but later, she mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally in front of Li Jiantao, and he stroked him affectionately. On the back of her head, she smiled brightly, and the already handsome face made people feel dizzy, which made people tremble even more.

"Why don't you care what those people say. Anyway, we have a clear conscience. This film is your work. If I don't care what they say every day, I can't do this job. There are not many rumors about me in this station. Is it? Since I got divorced, I haven't broken it. If you listen to every sentence, you can still talk to me like this today?"

A golden bachelor in his 30s, his smile was full of pampering. Lu Beicen clearly felt that Li Jiantao's words, in addition to comforting himself, were actually using this matter to explain to himself all kinds of scandals about him.How beautiful that picture is, Lu Beicen can feel how embarrassed he is now.

Director Wu looked at Lu Beicen's short-term excitement and then the long silence, sighed, and said with something in his words: "It's okay, gold can shine everywhere. Although it's all detours, this detour is better than that detour." , it's better to walk a little bit.

Lu Beicen came back to his senses. It turned out that this friend of his parents had seen himself thoroughly with just a single test. Also, Li Jiantao had so many rumors about such a thing, how could he miss himself?

Director Wu looked at Lu Beicen, and said something that made Lu Beicen even more surprised, so he let her go and respected her choice.

When Lu Beicen walked into Director Zhou's office again, his face was the same as before, his eyes were calm and his smile was just right.

When Director Zhou saw Lu Beicen who had gone and returned, he looked like he was waiting for her, Dang even got up and said with a smile: "Come on, Xiaolu, Mr. Yang went to the main station for a meeting, and he called me just now." , He said he wanted me to take you to report to the thematic department first, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I went to see it just now, they are already holding a topic selection meeting."

Lu Beicen quickly smiled embarrassedly: "Then I will trouble you, Director Zhou."

"This is my job. If you have any troubles, don't bother. If you need anything in the future, just come to me." Director Zhou walked ahead, speaking very politely.

Director Zhou led Lu Beicen from the third floor to the east auxiliary building on the second floor, and briefly introduced the layout of the building.

This building was rebuilt from the old building in Taiwan. The first floor of the main building is the lobby and security room, and half of it is used as a hotline office. The ancillary buildings on both sides are used as video studios. The main building on the second floor is the live broadcast room and camera equipment. Library, the west sub-building is the editorial computer room, the third floor is the office of the news department, the east sub-building is a large conference room, the west sub-building is the office of administrative personnel and other functional departments, the fourth floor is the office of the special department, and the sub-building is the financial office , there is also a duty room, and the fifth floor is the offices of the large-scale event department, the advertising department and the leaders of the urban channel.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs. The two met some colleagues coming up from the second floor. Director Zhou smiled and nodded to them, pointing to the conference room outside the second floor and said: "Morning The meeting has just finished, it’s Monday, and the regular meeting will be held by the way, otherwise it will be earlier.”

Director Zhou knocked on the door of the meeting room inside. Lu Beicen looked over from behind Director Zhou. There were three people sitting in the leadership position, two men and one woman. The middle-aged man with a rather scholarly temperament saw Director Zhou standing at the door and smiled. He asked, "Director Zhou, what's the matter?"

Director Zhou spoke respectfully, turned his body halfway, let Lu Beicen behind him out and said, "President Tang, excuse me, this is Lu Beicen who came to report from the main station today."

Mr. Tang was slightly stunned, then stood up immediately, and said to Director Zhou with a smile: "Okay, thank you Director Zhou for sending a talent to our department. Since there are new colleagues joining the job, everyone welcomes you."

Everyone in the conference room was a little puzzled by Mr. Tang's behavior, which is always serious. It was early in the morning, and one of them came, and he pouted and smiled.But Mr. Tang took the lead in applauding, and it was hard for them to watch. The applause made Lu Beicen a little embarrassed.

Director Zhou was very winking, seeing that the applause was sparse, he smiled and said goodbye.
